This might be prod uc lite of great advantage—and if their Petitions were l ep e al.. l , he had no doubt that they would even tualty the iiii of Parliament, and the r.G.f they prayed for would be granted. The health of to The Founder of th Meeting, the Lirl of Sheffield," was then drank with three flours three, who ruse and made his annual Report, •• _ _ Sins, I load the hooonr of last addressing you a most on expects d bud ussreasonahle attempt, unsupported by any thing like aigument, has been made by the usasufact u to J. away the protection which the ruinous state of &gri t slime had at Introit obtained from Parliament, and to pro f ore the repeal even of the inadequate duty on the imports. twu of foreign wool. &whinges the one bard to the •itua t ;en of the Hellish grower—on the *Owe to the stale of the it ado in wool, the effect of the import duty un the otassufac tole, and the period of its commencement, it was with dif ficulty I mould per.asile myself that sock an attempt woold hint. been Made.

It was made too when it was getserally 4:trpoised that three years' consumption of foreign wool was the country, anti re large a quantity of British grows wool on band, that the better sorts did wet bear half the pi ;Cr :Ley bad dune but a few years past. Notwithstanding the market at home was thus overstocked with the' raw material of British growth, and the price is (Otto quesice thus (beyond all precedes,* reduced, it was pre trnJed that any duty on the import of Sorely§ wool was in expedient and ruinous ; and the depression of the woollen manufacture was most falsely imputed to this cause. They Cos, however, is mere woronnsled assertion, is obvious from the depreptitos limier( existed previously to the imposition of the dusty. It is also obvious, frum our experitoses of the pail. hest the exportation of the otamsfacture is compare ! vely little ihflueneed by the import of foreign wool. We appeal from speculation to feels. I).utug the ten first years of the last century, wires wool lens were considered as our great staple manufacture, sad its a veil &wishing condition, the annual average import of wool was 677,5251h5., and the trait:jai valne of woollens exported, er .....d to nearly three millions sterling, or 2,563,5431. On all average of the eight years previously to the Freud) Revolution, the annual import of wool was 2.600,0001h5., and the official value of woollens exported was 3,564,7044 On an ge of ten years. 1808 to 1818, the average ha poi* of wool has been 12,163,13611 n. and the official value of woollens exported only 5,832.9544 • Last year the importation of wool amounted to • 16,190,3431b5., sad the official value of woollens exported wily to 8,086,5014 This it appears that the export of woollens was propor- Eunatety very little affected by the immense increase of Yet the Petitioners for thi repeal of the duty assert, that the export trade of sroollens depends entirely epos the import of wool : which cannot be the case, for by far Ike girater part of the woollens exported were sent le markets within our own control, in the different parts of the British empire, The increase was ;raciest, and considering 120 years are included, by no mewls great. Nor does it appear hoe the returns of the chills milled in the West Ridiug of Yorkshire, that the quantity of the manufacture has bees at sit increased for the last 22 years, but with this immense istcrease„in the importation of wool during the last six years, 1: Imo actually d d; and is, 1 am sorry to say, mit ' withstanding the very low price of wool, and the great over flow in the market, still in a depressed state. t.tn ati.average of ten years, ending 1808, the broad and narrow cloths milled in the West Riding of Yorkshire was 15.000,000 yards.

'fhe price of these wools has been from 6d. in 80. per lb.; the quality, however, so extremely bad, that it rather re sembled hair or wire than wool. It is oil this account to be eisbed, that the admission of such wool should be prevented by prohibitory duty, as it would undoubtedly greatly de b Ise the character of our manufacture, especially as we have a sufficient supply of British growth, sad one y have a still 'souse abundant one if not discouraged; at the same time their very low price would greatly piejodice the growth of our long wools, which have been so much improved, are g•eatly superior to those of other countries, ■nd may be &ways supplied ■t moderate price.. It is unnecessary to prove, that the manufactures would not be injured . by the non•admiasion of these low-priced foreign wools. "They are, indeed, not at all requisite. They have only Leon imported, as I have before stated, in any qua.- lilies during the last two years; and by a reference to the state of the manufactures, before and since that period, it is impossible to discover any benefit prodoced by them. • Withi■ a few years little wool was imported except from Spain; a considerable quantity has of late been brought from Germany, and within a very few years coarse wools bare been imported from Smith America and the Leramt, diked the quantity is atom rapidly iscreasiag.

O. the average of eight years, commencing 1783, the wonted yarn imported was 1,4791b5. On the average of eight years, coding 1818, the worshed yarn imported was 879,6641 be. On an average of eight years, from 1783, the wool expel. ed was 1,549 stone. -Os ditto ditto, ending 1808, was 17,458 stone. Worsted yarn exported on as average of eight years, rem 1783,58,145 stone of lfilbs. Ditto, eight years,from 1810, 2,044 stone. At the same time it should he observed, that the import of wool on se average of eight years, from 1783, was 610 cwt. Ditto, on an average of ditto, from 1810, was 6,783 cwt. The tech of capital is the great bane of Ireland, not merely in respect to the establishing such machinery as would ena ble be to enter into competition with other countries, bet above all would promote a doe culture of the soil, sad more profitable management on the pot of the farmer. Consi de►ing the enterprising spirit of some of our capitalists, it is surprising they do sot employ some part of their mosey on the infinitely better security of Ireland, with large in tern., via. 6 per rest. rather than on the very precarious se curity of the French funds. t It also gives the mode of curing and preventing the foot -rot. the great bane of the Merino sheep transported into these islands. (To be continued ) The present defy would eery tittle of Hie Importatios of the liner aline it cos be supposed we wont, more especially as Spiv has taken sfr a duly on the ex. portatioe sanely equal to that we have laid en. cps• the whole it may be seid, that the assertion of the rule of the manufacture, from the impesitios of a ditty at wool, is made in kisser of truth and common pewee: fee the pre sent price of foreign wool, duty Iseladed, is only Ise-half of whet it was a few years ago, sad thee our mantiforlsres were flourishing. It cannot, therefore, be argued, that the price of the raw teetotal, was affected by the duty, or is is the slightest degree the cause of the distress felt by the manu facturer; for it is • tact, that the best Spanish wool, see now 20 per cent. cheaper than when the defy wee Bret laid. In deed it may be generally asserted, that at the time the le purtatiou of foreign wool began to iucreaee so greatly, the price of the manufacture was extrairagastly raised on the consumer. The Seem broad cloths, which in toy recollec tion sold at lbs. per yard, have been lately sold at Ws. At the same time the export of woollens of the finest foreign wool was ineousiderable. Ceder these circumstances, It is aliment ineeoceivable that men should expose their west of Isfensiatios or consi deration, or that any circemsiances should bias them so far as to induce them to assert, that the small duty on the ins. port of &trigs wool bad ruined our ameofsel arms, and prevented ahem from undertaking to supply clothing to the Russian army, when it appears that the Importation was in 1818 ten times, and last year upwards of six limns, the amount of whet it bad been on the average previously Is 1789. What makes the assertion still more ridiculous and absurd is, that note lock of the Spanish, Semis, or any Ise imported wool, or even of the floe wools of this country, wait ever worked up io the kind of cloth that was made for the Russian soldier. It would have hems more candid to have slated, that oar Government had stipulated with Ros sia to pay certain sums of mosey in British woollens, which arrangement is now at as end; and that Russia has remit ted part of the duties on woollens in f of Prussia, which country now principally supplies that article at • cheaper rate. It may not be Inexpedient to lay before you the accounts •f the imports • for the quarters ending April sad July, 1819, and the corresponding gamier, in the present year ; and to offer some explanation of the difference that will ap. pear in their amosint. The total import of Foreign Wool for the quar ter, ending sth April 1819, was The import auto London, fur ditto, ending Sib July 1819 The total import of Foreign Woul for the quar ter ending sth April 1820 The import into Loudon, for ditto, aiding 6th July 1820 This, I would observe, proves nothing as to the effect of the duty on foreign wool, because the extraordinary delay of so many months, is laying on that duty, ftermished the opportu nity of crowding into this country wool from all parts, free of duty, 'oche anameet of 11.450,1271b5.; only 231,7151b5. were however liable to the duty—and 2,054,3181 b.. ware housed under bond, for the purpose of postpoeieg the pay ment of the duty until taken out for consumption; which at the uhf rate of something less than one peony per pored, was net the practice. The extravagant insportatiou that has lakes place of late, has been attended with equal injury to the wool buyer mid ti. seller. It has deranged the market. The buyer had not as licipated that such immense quantities would have bees im ported, which have mot only lowered the value, bet have deprived bins of the power of disposing of the British wool he had on baud: In fact, so completely is the British wool driven from the market, that at Huddersfield, on an average 10 bap of &retire wool were oold,for one of English growth. All this has evidently arises from the ientlEciescy of the is port duty (which should bare been at least double its pre sent amount), • truth which the wool buyers themselves are ready, and indeed have but too mach reason, to acknowledge. It may here be observed that the French have taken off the export defy; and have imposed a duty of 10 per cent. un wool imported into France; they have granted It per cent. bounty on clothe exported. The consequence has been, that wool (the produce of Fresco) hoe advanced IS per cent. I one sorry that I cannot lay before you • ewe favourable scones, of the value of wool. The price, I flatter myself, is, however rising; but yet it is low heyood example, and highly discouraciog to the grower. South Down wool of last year's clip has lately been so low as 14d. per lb.; and fleeces of this wool, fed in Norfolk, to the value of 10 ,0001. have been sold in Yorkshire at about lbd. per lb. The South Down tag has sold at ls. 101 d. But it is admitted in the Loudon market, that South Down wools, fed in Sussex, are worth from 18d. to 19d. per lb., and they are certainly rising. Woofer • cross, between the South Down sod Leicester, has ✓oid in Norfolk as high as 58s. per tod of 28Ibs. or 2s. Il e. per lb. At Hereford fair, held un the Ist tilt the quantity of wool offered fur male was very cousiderable. None appeared to have been withheld from market, except some Merino and its cremes. The prices offered in the meriting were deemed so low that few purchases were effected: bet about live o'clock in the afternoon, the growers (compelled from the difficulty of converting agricultural produce of any kind into mosey) began to accede to the terms proposed, and the sale continued very briskly until ten at night, when nearly the whole quantity was disposed of at these prices:— Comm Welsh ls. 2d. per lb.

This, upon a fair average, may be considered as an advance of two shillings per stone on the prices of Monmouth and Col ford. Lamb's Wool was is great demand, and sold at from Is. 4d. to Is. 9d. per lb. _ I have Dot yet received the regular account of the Gloat. rester X ideaminer Fair • but I tears that some farmers iu that county have sold their coarse wool at the price of last year. Their Smith Dow. has been very low, bat is now on She advance. I.

As soon meths great overstock, especially of Foniga coarse Wools, shall be reduced, the duty will cheek the importation of that kind, and naturally the Woe! of this coustry will six when the foreign is clear ed from the market.

Nor is the Report of the Rev. Thomas Radcliffe to the Dublin Society less worthy of attention. It is a very able and instructive statement, wad is highly deserving of being inserted in the comostuaieslions to She Board of Agricul ture. It contains a perspicuous and judicious account of the Merited Socks of Lord Lirmore and Messrs. Nowise; amid also of the Merle° factory of Munn.

The wheats IsOreblooloased saecessfiillv throughout South Britain, ass are proceeding with equal good hope towards • crop. Much of 'be wheat land which appeared too thirsty pleated iu the spring, bears now a very luxuriant appearance. The spring crops, fur the most part, pease excepted, are of equal promise. Meatuses bas yet bees most capricious, and the old defect of our climate, absence or uncertainty of the solar beat, most marked. Should we be so fortnnate as to escape the latter mildew, it is the general opinion, that the corm harvest will be my productive. Swedish turnips sad the Lensom root, or mange! worse!, larger breadths than usual, appear to be good crops. The common turnip, with se greater damage from the fly than to be expected in such • season, will be a good ge. The hops vary in different ecrwaties, boss, on the whole, are likely to exceed expectation. ll is reported, that the fly upon this plant is not 'infrequently the frffermuser of blight; oh , is fact, the fly upon all plants is the consequence of blight. The hay crops, both natural and artificirl, are beaty, and with some exceptions, well got in, notwithstanding considerable interruption from the rains. Of fruit there is a general abundance, which has checked the commencing import from the Continent. There N as immense plenty both of fat and lean cattle sad sheep, NW the meat markets are declining. Wool is ua the advance. The corn markets have held gteadily to price. Two moods since, scverel maniples of flee white wheat from Saffhlk were sold at the Corn Exchange, at 945. per quarter, which is quoted to slew the immesse difference made by quality, in the price of Ibis inestimable grain. —Middlesex, July SS.

Of what use would one atom be in a House which treated with cossiempt the prayers of a miaow of men, so doubt expressiog the genii merits of other millions, when they prayed for a Reform ! What would be the power of one man among a body of oli garchs, who, is spite of the prayers of so nadmaited ma jority, passed the Corn Bill?
