AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. ...mniVim.. COUNTY OF ESSEX MEETING. In ptlesuance of a requisition signed by Viscount Maytaard, Lord Petits. Sir W. Howley, Sir T. Lennarrtl, T B. Lennartl, M. P., C. C. Western, M. P., W. P. Ilonywood, M. P., and manrother individuals of great rank and influence in theicounty of - Essex, the High Saeriff, Sir G. 11. Smyth, Ban., convened a meeting nu Tuesday, at the Shire.liall,"Chelonsford, for the 'sue phse of taking into consideration '" the distressed situ ation of all the different classes of society dependent noon agriculture, in order that the alerting might make such representation on the subject to the Legislature as the circimistatices in which the agricultural body are placed imperiously require." At oclock the High - Shea took the chair, and onened the business of the day by bespeaking an illlpt t,l! hearing for every gentleman who might feel inclined to address the meeting. Sir T. B. LENNARD then came Inward a and having entered it: a detail of the extreme distress which op. pressed the agricultural interest, proposed the following resolutions, which he observed sufficiently pointed out tle wurce of .&hat distress, 311(1 at the same time stated thine measures which could alone alleviate it:— Resolution 1.--That it is indispensably necessary to in form the Legislature, that the difficulties tinder which aglicolttual classes and others dependent on them have for some years laboured, increase with such rapidity, as to occasion the most grievous suffering, and to threaten consequences fatal to the peace of society. 2.—That multitudes of industrious and meritorious oc eit,ders of land have already been sacrificed, and have become smelly and irretrievably bankrupts; that many °theta are only sustained by the respect due to their clia• actor, and that confidence which their station in life, and good conduct had obtained fur them, or hold on their 1 , ! ecariont existence by the forbearance and humanity of their creditors, on account of their unmerited sufferings. 3.—That however disposed the land.owners may be to reduce their rents, or the clergy their tithes, that Ana eduction cannot compensate the present difference be tween the receipts of a farm and the various expeuses, et ;I less the reduced value of the capital employed, which - has fallen one halt' of its original amount. o.—That iu many illttallee, the labonters are totally tb•stitnie of employment, notwithstanding the etturts of lint more opulent individuals to provide work for them— snot the sinking condition of their co tttttt on empluyers enders; it obviously certain, that the demand of their labour must still diminish, by the rapid exhaustion of the tends nom whence they dei ivy their wages and support. 7.—That it appears by the report of the Agticuiltural Committee, as aril of the present as of last year, that an alteration cf the currency has been efficel, by snch general diminution has been caused in the pike of agri cultural produce; and it is farther stated, that such diminution still be permanent, and will affect all other products of industry and labour, and the wages of the I labourer, and consequently occasion a guest and general rf t /1411 e upon the induct y of the country; that the ex -I'oll el ibis pressure does riot appear to be stated by the same autism ity, and which they are therefore left to con- jt.eilltet they piactically lama that they have been obliged for tome lime past to sell two bushels of corn, or two ;mends of mutt or other produce, to pay their taxes:2ml demands, for which one pound would before stuffier; but, whatever may lie the extent of the depression occasioned by such alterations of the cut retn-y, it is es idently a measure tranglit with the greatest injustice, rule ss it is iteritllll.A. hied with a proportionate reduction of the enure amount of taxation and all other charge', both npon the public and private industry of the country. tinder city other cireitinstances the public creditor, and all others deriving their nrcooren front the taxes, will.pussess them.elves of propel ty to which they have no claim, And in the present moment appear to absorb all the limits of industry, tlurt derivable front agricultare, mum:facile es, sr outline' re. 8 —ll..wevu r varioas t le opinions of the Ca 115 1 .4 a Melt have induced these afflicting griminess smiler wltich the country labour-, it is eel Win they cannot be a"eritted to may want of lulu tut, enero, or patience, MI the ;Jut of the psuple ; they do not hesitate to say, that, in sheer opinion, tae %straws plans recommended by the Agricultural Con nutter do not offrid nay prospect of adequate and !seine.. meet relief, and that, so far form placing British twit (Mule noon a fair footing a lilt countries uni idled and comparatively etvased, the proposed regulations appear to expose it, mine than the present law does, to sit uutsir and unequal com p-mina. It is evident shut the country is charged with burdens hitherto unparalleled, mind that, unless the f. ads of talti,try and labour are egisal to sustain them, which un rpuestionably they are not, these burdens must be adtquutely uud immediately reduced. Mr. Disney was proceeding to state his reasons for sects:tiling the resoluttotis, when - Mr. Towels proposed that the meeting should be ad joari.ed to the open air, in consequence of the oppres sively crowded state of the hall. Toe motion was curried, and the assembly moved into The open space in hoot of the hall. Mr. 1): arts then entered, at considerable length, into the cense of the retailing distress, tt h eh he attri buted to excessive tax ition, and a defective state of the efficacy. Ile expressed the heartfelt gratification he lett at seeing so numerous and respectable a meeting as sesnbled ou this occasion. It was the right of the !stride to consider what remedy should be appliesi to any ex.sts ling grievance; that right was perfectly in unison with tire principles of the British Constitution, aatJ he hoped the people would never lose sight of it. C.C. Weil EAU, M. P., stated his perfect concur. retice in the resolutions. Ile traced the existing distress' to three Cjillbet•—•UVenVilelllllllfi taxation, an inefficient sysieiti of cid n.laws, and Mr. Peel's hill. Time effect of that bill, with reference to taxation, was to double the h. id under which the country had previously suffered. Colonel lIRAMSTO& admitted that the great body of agriculturists were suffering under a eery severe pressure, Lilt he wail of opinion that such meetings as the present sr •re not calculated to produce a beneficial effect. I'. B.J.EUMARn, Al. P., supported the resolutions, iris opinion, stated tciy correctly the cause of tirevading distress, an.l fointed out iii. only certain ~_ THE NATIONAL REGISTER Mr. Tower and Mt. Barton also spoke in favour of the resolutions. Admiral HARYEY, M.P., admitted that the agricul tural interest laboured under very great difficulties. He undoubtedly thought that the stale of the ciuren y and the weight of taxation, had a considerable effect in pro ducing these difficulties, bit he did not belies• that these two circumstances operated to the extent which his hon. colleague (Mr.NVestern) seemed to imagine. Mr. MAtirabw was of opinion that a reduction of rents and tithes would tend greatly to alleviate the dit tress of the farmer. The resolutions were carried almost unanimously, not lucre than half a dozen helm; held up against them. A petition founded on the resolutions, was also agreed ia. It rained almost incessantly during the meeting, but the inclemency of the weather was disregarded by the assembly, who paid the most marked attention to the proceedings, Goat their commencement to their termi narion. HORSE BAZAAR. KING BTREFT BARRACKS, PORTMAN-SQUARE, FOR THE SALE OF HORSES; BY COMMISSION. THE following regulations are humbly submitted to the Public by GEORGE YOCRG, (the - Proprietor,) of this Establishment, which stands on two acres, and contains be tween 3 and 400 stalk, a large riding house, and good exercising ground, enclosed with high walls. Horses will be taken in for sale. every day (Sunday excepted), from nine o'clock in the morning until eight in the evening, during summer, and until dark in the winter, on being first exa mined by the veterinary . surgeon, in order to guard against contagious disease being introduced. The premises are now open, for general business (only during these hours), within which horses may be tried, or taken away. A commission of £5 per Cent. will be charged on the amount of all sales. The price for forage will be that ordinarily charged in the same neighbourhood, front time to time, tor the like care, &c. and each horse will have four feeds, or a peck of the best corn, per day, an hour's walking exercise, and will be sweated once a week, in a gentle trot, having on two suits of clothes, by which he will be in good condition for immediate work (without injuring his legs by strung exercise, and without being liable to those fatal diseases generally arising from over exertion, when not pre viously prepared.) Horses sow us carriage horses may be seen in harness, and tried a short distance out of the Bazaar • but saddle horses will not be allowed to go out, as the space wit hin is sufficiently exten sive and convenient for trial and exercise. Studs of horses will be received, with their grooms (if required) but they must comply with the regulations laid down tot the servants of the Bazaar. An able veterinary surgeon, and smith, belonging to the Bazaar, will be c instantly looking over the stables; careful experienced head-grooms and stablemen selected; and a watch man kept up all night, to guard as much as possible against accidents, particularly these arising front horses getting cast in their stalls. Great attention will be paid to horses' feet, which is of the utmost importance, while they are out of regular work. All horses purchased must be paid for previous to delivery, awl must be returned within the second day, and within the pre scribed hours in that day, if they should be warranted, and prove unsound. The proprietors of horses sold, may receive the amount of sales (deducting for keep, commission, Lc.) on the fourth day after the sale. The keep of Wises that may he taken away unsold, must be paid be& re delivery. The proprietor of the Bazaar will not deal in horses, either eitectly or indirectly, but conduct himself most strictly as an agent ; nor will any servant be allowed to deal, or ask for any perquisite. As many Country Dealers may be disposed to send horses to the Bazaar, an skit, ment will be made (to them only) in the charge for commission and forage. All risk ,whatever will, of course, be that of the owner of horses. - TEN GUINEAS REWARD. 110 PRINTERS, ENGRAVERS,&c.—Whereas it has been discovered that certain Persons are in the habit of Printing and Vending Labels, being copies or imitations of , those affixed to the bottles containing the GENUINE BI.ACKING prepared by DAY and MARTIN, thereby en abling unprincipled dealers to impose on their customers a bad and injurious article.
