He hoped the sale rat the &choose that day would not lie without its effect. He did not mean indiorrimi. nafely to recommend the short .horned cattle to their atten tion. There were good specimens of cattle of all 'breeds The farmer did wisely to consult bis soil, in ibeppelp.tee "villa Poch. Whew be bad plenty of food he.wilellA ad vise his to have the best and most valuable cattlilleconl4 get. It, however, starvation was to be the prettier, let him keep to the long-horned breed. They were of a quality of meat that would not easily he totally. deatioyeti. The breed of cattle which had the quickest propensity to fates would bear the least starvation, and chess the feed was lot would he the longest in iecuvering. On high and indit . fereot pastures such cattle were most adopted. The cooed y, said the worthy President, bad had a great loss in an admir able friend of his, Mr. Speddiag, of Allirehouse, quitting it. He was a most excelled farmer, and he bad a very valuable breed of cattle between the Kyle) aud short-horn—cattle welt adapted to every part of the county. They had lost much by the want of such an example. But much as he was an ad vocate for good cattle, be was still more solicitous for the introduction of sheep—these, whilst they were advancin in value, were every slay improving the soil on which they feed. Sheep might now advantageously be kept on roils formerly quite unfit for them. By the use of salt they were no longer subject to the rot. Where sheep could be kept, their profit much exceeds the best breed of cattle. He was glad to aasionsee to the Meeting that some of the heifers went to Leedom, to his excellent Maid, Mr. Wilhin (we believe). If they turned out as he expected, they would, h.• hoped, induce the cow.kecper of London to tome to Ai , : tawdry in quest of stock. They might smile, but what would they say, when he informed them that ploughs and harrow. were at that snottiest on their way from Wm kin Vim to Middlesex. If the people of Middlesex were divined to esteem their agriculture, he Nattered himself they might not have less reason to look favourably towards them for stock. Again, he begged to apologise foe the length lie hail been led into, and should conclude with givin: his grateful thanks for every part of their kind iadelgence, antonett which not the least was their patience on that occasion, wishing them every prosperity, and that they might mem. urzt year under more generally prosperous circumstances — foe their own individual happiness would be most mate rially segmented, if they could see every quarter of the empire enjoying comfort and prosperily.—(Applause.) The President then proceeded to the distribution of the following prizes, accompanying each with suitable oboes - vations ; but our limits prevent our entering into a detail token. He wisp too advocating the oiteiests of agricultatis atone. Mali as be was attached to it, be omelet not mi aow* it al the repeats of the c-iieral lisopiness of the mourn. He appealed to the recent opinions Imbed given iu Parliament. He °prowl the tax nn word, because he did not conceive that a lartiat benefit to the flak-master of one or two liendted thousand pounds was to be brought into competition with the benefits derived to the nation from the mannfierteriem 'of above two millions of wool purchased front foreign countries, by the manufacturing of which, sex millions probably was predneed. Four millions gained to the country by its hamar afforded, in hie opinion, a prospect of greater advantage to the agriculture of the amide, than par tial advantage by fallacies* the privet/ wool. The consump tion of victual by ilea employment giveu was likely to be of more real benefit to agriculture itself, as well as augment tug the general capital of the country. His vote, though esteemed hostile to the interests of aviculture, was directed with a view to what he deemed its real and Solid interests. Dopler the same convictive' of the generst good of the ems vire, he then offered his honest and cunacieutioua opinion, that it was for the interest of all to coutur in excluding to. reign grain, and - In &raise means to feed ourselves, ad to give labour, and by labour bappinesa to thousands. He Maw that he subjected himself to much misrepresentation, that it Would be expecting too much to snppose his politi cal 'enemies might not endeavour to misrepresent his as. ' lives. Probably there were persona who bad ao views but individual aggrandizement—men who had uo claims to pub lic confidence, who sought to advance themselves by indam lag the passions of men offering under great and heavy pri. wallas. These men exist but by misrepreseatation, sad may avail themselves of what he had felt it his duty to my, still further to mislead these unfortonate individuals. His dusty to them and the public required that he should speak what he thought, and be only asked to be judged of by a long political life in the moat arduous sod difficult of dam If be had ever gives reason to suppose be was attested Illpth selfish motive, be was ready to submit to the iseputatita l a being actuated by similar motives now. All be reqe was to be judged of by what be did say, not what might be implied to him. Take his own words, and he was ready to stand or fall by them, fee Ise never uttered a sent= or entertained oue as in relation to the public, that be wish to be disguised, or was disposed to retract or regret. He was sorry to have occupied so much of the time of the Meeting—his duty to them called for the discussioa—regard to himself required it, as he had heat grossly misrepreseal. ed in what be hail written on the subject to the Leo& Committee, who repaired his opinion or the best MOM of giving employment to the labouring classes. Whether he was asi . fiend to the labouring classes, be requeseed the Society to judge. Look, said be, at the farm they had that day bewared with their notice, need say if there woo to be famed a the kingdom any farm of the same extent that gave employment to an equal *amber of bands?

Did they believe that there would be found one iudividual that would hesitate to say, if the necessity be imperious, we will cheer hilly submit to it ?—(Applause.'—He reset sow return to their own more imme di ate concerns. It must afford the truest delight to every Cumbrian to see the rapid progress of improvement. He who left this county eight or ice years ago, on his ream would waste he able to recognise the land he left. Nature bad been most lavish in her gifts to this county. For greed aid hairlinel scenery au part of the world surpassed it ; sad it was left for us by exertion to ren der our soil as prodoctive a other less favoured districts. In seven years there had bees achieved what it had required treble the time la effect in other places. la Norfolk, the county pre.entiocat fir agriculture, Mr. Coke was a farmer for eleven years, before he had use imitator. The fact was, agriculture was sot an art learnt fens the eye ; besot/ cap. tivates by sight, agriculture advances aud perfeetioss by re- Ratios. This accounted for the slow progress it had made in the world. It had often surprised him, and, he owned, till very Neatly he sever could find a satisfactory solution —how, without meaning any offence to other parts of the kingdom, it happened that the individuals of this county be came passaged of a more general and a greeter polion of education has falls to the lot of the nation at large ! The happy fruits were exemplified. He went seven years ago to the Abbey Holm to assist sod advise with them on their modes of culture; it was difficult to bestow with truth the most slender commendation. What has bappesed in that short period? Their greens crops are ten times multiplied— their clover is excellent, their fallow, eke., and the whole state of the cultivation admirable. With all his disposition to And out links, in many of the farms it was out of his power. He saw himself surpassed in green crops—equalled in cleanlisess--and be might then visit that quarter to learn, where he originally went to teach.—/Applause.)—This was the cause—their minds were prepared by admirable educa tion. The seeds were sown by an admirable (tined of his. The moment their minds were brought to contemplate what waa proposed, they were equally able to appreciate and execute. The !Wish was delightful ; and he gloried to have beer' in any ways inserts/natal in so great and important a change. The itadividral benefit was pronsoted--addi. tinned comforts carried to the cottage—increased capital created to the country. In the west of the county, another broach of the Society had been established under the patron. age of Mr. Parker; the energy of the English character was too where so pre-eminently displayed as in the British sea man. He knew of no class of individuals from whom he would sooner select a subject for making a geed farmer. Exertion and perseverance were the fuuudation for pre. eminence in both spheres. Mach, indeed, bail been done by Mr. Parker and hie example had obtained the attention of his neighb ours He was delighted with one little farmer, Isaac slosaup, who, in • country inoet fitted for peen crop, but where unfortunately they did not exist, had had the courage to enter with spirit into the cultivation of gram crops, and had six acres of turnips under admirable culture. The ef fort was of no small merit—be who could conquer his pre jitdices and adopt a system diametrically opposite to that he had followed, had great merit ; sad be who with little means wrist Iseyond them had infinite merit. Thitigs were great I and small by comparison; and this effort was, in that in- dividual. deserving of east praise sad commendation. The worthy Gentleman catenated: lie hoped it would not be lung before the value of that district of the comity world be doubled. It was necessary that he should then advert to the proceedings at the Sehoose farm iu the present year. The most important (and ino.t truly important it was), WWI .he extended use of sett in feeding cattle. Its excellence was established beyond the reach of doubt. It' remained, however, very didnaue, whether salt wit or was mitt CITA ble of being seed as a tuatiure.—The follohing experimeeit had been tried : " A compost was made in the proportion of 15 tons of soil, and half a ton of salt :—twelve garden pots were filled ; the first with the soil only; the second, in the proportion of one quart of compost to eleven of soil; the third, two quarts of compost to ten of soil—and su on in the like gad/vides mild the twelfth or last pot contatued the pore mixture or first made compost. In order to compare the progress still more, one put was filled with a mixture of dung and earth, and another pot with the proportion of eleven and one of compost. The fourteen pots were sown at the same tunic with turnips. The appearance of the plants was greatly in favour of the duo; and earth for a considerable time. As the plants cut streugth, those with a sandier portion of salt became evidently the strongest and must vigorous.'

Weditesaday,Tharsday,and Friday itennight, the Work ington Agricultural Society held their Annual Meeting at Workintnn. On Wednesday the Society inspected the admirable ma. ■a¢ement of Mr. Ciirwen, the President, at the *boom farm, and the different experiments that have been made thereon florin the last year; for the particulars of which see the President's speech. On Thursday the ploughing match took...place ; and the Society viewed the crops on the Schoose farm, and the im plements of husbandry, saw the Rock feed with salt, and viewed the prize cattle. On Friday there was a sale of cattl • at the School**, and afterwards the Society dined with the President at Working. tin Hall. Nearly 400 sat down to dinner. On the cloth being removed, the following toasts were drank : "The King"—" The Prince Regent. and the rest of the Royal Family"—" Mr. Curwen," three times three. Mr. Corsica returned thanks. "The Workington Agricultural Society"—" The Lady of the Manor, Mrs. Corwen," three limes three—" The Friends from the Couniies of Northumberland and Dur ham, to whom they were so much indebted for the introduc. lion of the short-horns," three times three. Mr. Gray, from Northomberland (a native of this county), returned thanks in no eloquent speech, in the name of the strangers present from those counties. " Mr. Henry Cnrwen," three times three. Mr. H. Curweu returned thanks. " Mr. Spending, of Mire House"—" The Stewards for the ensuing year. Colonel Craddock, the Rev. E. Stanley, and Mr. Charles Parker," three times three. Mr Stanley reformat thanks in the name of the Stewards. The Society then adjourned to the asseruhly-room to see the distrihatiors offing premiums, and the President spoke nearly as follows: In calling the attention of the Society to the objects for which they were associated. he felt it his duty not only to confine himself In the immediate interests of the agriculture of the county, bat to bring under their consideration its state and hearings throtightint the empire. The subject was one of deep interest to all rank. in the kingdom. In the present state and temper of the times, he was fully aware of the dangers of misrepresentation, but he trusted that he should never he deterred front the honest discharge of his duty, whatever might be the consequences. The people of England were enlightened and generous—they might for a season be misled, but they bail that solid good sense that they would nut lung continue in error. It was impossible to contemplate the sufferiogs and privations of a great proportion of the labouring claws without the densest commiseration. Greatly did he regret the mea sures they hail resorted to fur alleviating their distresses— mesenres calculated to augment and nut to Icemen the evils under which they laboured. Whilst be esndenned them, he could not but pity and compassionate their sufferings. That there were abuses in the Slate be could not deny, bet he must confess that on a fair and honest comparison with any other State in Europe, or elsewhere, who would ex change their situation that possessed the means of subsist ence in this country? The want of employment might drive men unto other parts of the globe. This was necessity. Where free choice remained, who would not be au inhabi tant of Great Britain? That the nation was in a most dis tressed and calamitous situation, could not be deviled. That this had arisen from the pressure of taxation was trite. It was not his intention to enter into any review of past =nukes; however, he hail (and he heartily rejoiced at it) differed with those that governed the nation, and been at all times the friend of pence and economy. It was unavailing to look bark. Men of all sidee--Whig and Tory, were at that moment honestly zealous to find a remedy for the evils under which the country suffered. The difficulty was great, and they must submit to great and heavy privations. The good faith of the nation was pledged. Great Fp itaiu maul never tarnished her character be any want of faith, suit lie trusted and hoped she never would. To meet the taxes ne cessary to discharge the public burdens, it was indispensable to keep up the price of labour, and of the p►odnetious of the earth, touch beyond all other countries of Europe. This ass an evil—doubtless a great and grievous evil, but one that they had no option, no means of avoiding, but by to riming greater distresses and suffering* than even those under which they at present laboured._ The return of peace had given security to other nation, and the result of secu rity had been the revival of industry. During the war we manisfactured for Europe; now we were reduced toe share; and he would ask, couM anyone wish the prosperity even of his native land to be fouadixl on the misery of oilier coon tries? Could we ask that Europe should have it. poisitla. 'Jle and unemployed, in order to zive to us a mono poly of trade? With all his prejudices it was weal he could not bring himself to wish. Ardently be desired that freedom and happiness might pervade as widely as the light of heaven, not be the lot 14 all o nions He neither looked for nor hoped that we weld contieue, iu the old channels at keit, that examinee side of manufacture we once pueseesed. It behoved us, therefore, to hue band our own resources-1w esileneins to improve every normal means of wealth. Wm . be hoped that we had great reiouvec., sad that ordh might lie done, Fortunately the attention tit all loaners of the country was then called to our situation. The most eislighted inha bitants of every kiwi, ise the kingdom were busily employed in inquiring into the means of giving employment In the datum , tug classes. The subject was one of iiifinite difficulty. I.abour was a source of riches infinitely beyond all other. It hail burn six times more up amount than the whole of the real property of the empire.

It had been a question of forming fresh establishments. but Is monieues reflection must convince diem that there was no want of skill, capital, ur enterprise in the Mellen—a very slender hope of profit was enough to iodises numbers to etm hark in any speculation. Vnfortuttately there was too great a disposition to push trade berme. Its sober limits--we were suffering from it. To mastulheleire goods without a market was only to displace an Nail geter in some tither quarter. A project had been broached if Wlag recourse to sped* culture.

From the extreme suffering of the people there etas pa MALIPOU to hope that they would have blamed to any argument upon the subject.

Thsowead6 notbeive looked heyond the present moment—disamd advatitspe 'maid have been overlooked—nothing could have convinced them that their own interests and those of the fanner were the same: And here, he would observe, no measure partially calculated to advantage one class of men at the expense of smother cobld medium for any length of time; it avast is its operation.ifof any magnitude, destroy what it is meant to promote. That which was most advantageous for the community at large would ever be found most lastingly for the Walesa of all classes. He looked forward that the distresses of the coon. try must force the attention of every part of the empire to the state of the labouring classes—that the opittions of men is all quarters, of every occupation, would be promulgated— that by this means the body of the people would be in pee session of the united seutimeots of all the most enlightened ludiriduals of the kingdom, and he bad anticipated, acrd did still, that they would come owe and all to one sad the same conclusion—that the interests of the whole empire aid every individual were injured by the enormous importatioa of foreign grain ; that to remedy and pretest it was an ob ject of common interest ; that the call of the people euitibil be g Ito go into the examinatiou of the subject. These. then, were the reasons that actuated his madam. He thought it for the general good to allow the farmer to suffer, and agriculture to decline for a samba, rather they peen for a review of the Cora Laws at a moment when the public peace might hare been endeagered. The importation of grain, he continued, iu the last seven years had exceeded 24 millions. Btu the year 1815, when grain was at the lowest, was it a season of prosperity with any class in the State? Did it promote prosperity to the manufacturer? Did it carry comfort and happiness to the cottage? No—to neither. The manufacturer, though be had his full share of export trade, lost his home market. The agriculturist had no means of commanding the same quantity of goods. The loss of the home market was so great as to far outweigh any reduction in the price of bread. Cheap bread and want of work was found ten thousand times more grievous than dear bread and employment. Now, what did the agriculturist ask ? Security against the foreign grower of grain. The price of grain irm France amid the Ne therlands for the beet wheat was 40s. a quarter; in the North of Europe 341..; in the Crimea 265. On all hands it was allowed that wheat camsot be raised in Great Britain under 60e—withost taking rent into consideration ? Does it not, therefore, appear self-eel dent, if. a very slight minutiae of price cast affect the opening of the poets, that ruin must fall on oar own agriculture. The fact had proved it so. In the year of scarcity, the amount paid fur foreign grain was tee millions. In the last year, an equal amount had been paid, when grain was only two•thirds of the price; con sequently the quantity of grain brought into the king dom must have been one-third more. This, to his naiad, carried conviction that the growth of wheat had declined that the poor or middling lands were no longer cropped with wheat ; that antes@ a remedy be applied, he did iu his eye. science believe the growth of wheat world still further decline. The Corn Hill, which had been so industriously cried down, had proved no security to the farmer. It was not what it purposed to be. Whilst it professed that the im portation of wheat should not be permitted till it was 801. a quarter, by the mode of takiug the average it was not ac tually more than 745. Westmorland amid ether counties, where little wheat is consumed, preserved an average far above that of the rest of the kingdom. He was amt pre pared to say what would be the beet mode of applyieg a re medy—were it called for, there would rot be mach difficulty. Whilst he was friendly to a change, and giving security to the farmer, be would not carry •it one iota beyond what he deemed expedient for the interests of the labouring classes. Hail the average been fairly taken, the ports had not been open to a great portion of the graiu which had in undated the country. He thought 801. would he a millieient protection if the ge were fairly taken. Now he would meet the question honestly, and admit at once that this would enhance the price of bread. Suppose it effected an advance of 6.. a quarter before the ports could open—bow would that affect the interests of the labourer? Suppose a family of five persona, consuming each a stone of flour in a week—the advance would he two-pence and a fraction in the stone, or Is. per week. In return, what would be the prospect of gain ? The corn imported in the last twelve months had gives employment to 200,000 individuals In foreign countries—to supply ourselves would require this number of hands at least in addition to those who are wow occupied in agriculture • one million of oar popnlatiee would be fed by calling i00;000 hands into active employ. uncut. Could any one doubt that the probable colts of this greater demand for labour would he an =re of wages? But were this not the case, would not the bring ing so many persons into employment be attended with the most happy effects? Would not men in all quarters of the kingdom bail with pleasure the proposition at this anoment in have labour with the present wages, and to pay the addition of two-pence a stone for their bread? Two hundred thousand men productively employed also had then uu labour, would instantaneously produce a source of revenue of three or fuer millions. He con ceived that it wmild he admitted with little difficulty that the agricultural labourer would he advantaged. The doubt, if any, would be with the minufacturers. The cheap. nese of labour in foreign countries operated against his interest, moil he called for cheap grain to be able tar coulpete. This is only true to a certain extent. Were grain at the lowest mice, there was a limit beyond which tr.& could nut he pushed. The moment it was tuned in jurions to other countries, that instant it would he checked be imposts and regulations; or that eutostry was out aware of its owls Interests, and equally anxious for and alive to the importance of keeping its people employed. No Da tion would or ought to suffer the industry of its people to be interft red with. Trade exists in few places but where the advantage is reciprocal. Hut was there some loss to the inaunfactitrer, would there be molting to balauce it? Would not an augmentation of the home market make up for any deficiency? It should always be reimilected that the home market is as three to one compered with the foreign export. All seemed to agree that an augmentation of labour could only be looked for from agriculture. - To hope fur it ill its present unprotected state was visionary. The must economical culture would out remunerate the farmer; vain aid futile it was to expect that more expensive modes could afford any chance of profit.. Two millions tat persons or some little more were auppoted to be then employed in agriculture. He did think, that with security, that la, with Melee prices, a fourth more might eventually be employed. It should be recollected the remedy was au evil, but it accuser:lhr only resource left us. • Ile wished out to be ink- . TA RA TR AROYA L, 11A1PAA mar. 11111 S EVE:.'!ING. SATURDAY.
