EXAMPLES. PUBLICATIONS PROTECTION TO AGRICULTURE. MEETING AT CHICHESTER. Yesterday the second of a series of agricultural meet ing e in favour of " protection," to be held in the county of Sussex, took place in the Corn Exchange, at which nearly 2,000 persons were present, but the great majority of them were agricultural labourers, who were influenced to attend. The Hon. and Rev. L. V. HeetconetT presided, and, in opening the proceedings, condemned the Anti-Coru-law League and the course pursued by its members, as uncon stitutional, anti-national, and most injurious to the best interests of the working people of this country, whether agricultural or manufacturing labourers, the object being to reduce wages for the profit of masters. It was there fore necessary that all who wished their industry to he protected should unite, particularly those who were em ployed and interested in agriculture. If they did unite he was convinced that neither the present nor any other Ministry would long hold the reins of power unless they did full justice to the agricultural body.—(Cheers.) The secretary read letters of apoloey for absence, among which was one from the Earl of March, M.P. ; it might, indeed, be called an essay, in which his Lordship argued at considerable length against the repeal of the corn-laws. Mr. PRIME (a magistrate) proposed the first resolu tion. He said that there never was a time that agricul turists should bestir themselves more than at present. seeing that the head of the Whig party had declared himself in favour of free trade, and that the head of the party in power seemed disposed to follow that ex ample. He believed, that unless the agriculturists were firm, they would be sacrificed in the next session of Parliament to the Anti-Corn-law League.—(Cheers and hisses.) The history of this country, from the time of Edward IV. downward, showed that it had ever been the policy of its Government to protect its home agri cultural industry by levying duties upon the importa tion of foreign corn ; and those persons who were for the unrestricted importation of foreign corn were advo cates of an untried system, which our ancestors, in their wisdom, never would adopt, but whose policy in this matter had raised this country to a height of wealth and prosperity never surpassed, if equalled, by any nation of the world.—(Hear, hear.) The state of Germany and France showed what was the effect of a low price of bread—low wages. There. no tithe nor poor-rate was paid ; consequently, were the corn-laws repealed, wages here must gradually come down to the same level, not only for agricultural, but for manufacturing employment. That eminent statesman who had represented that borough (Mr. Huskisson) once expressed great doubt whether it would be politic to make this nation depend ent on foreigners for the first necessary of life. In times of scarcity unfriendly nations might stop the supplies, and reduce us to a state of famine, or very little short of it ; and the evil would be greatly aggravated in time of war. No more time, then, was to be lost ; they should be up and doing. But, whatever demonstration might be made in that or other counties, the main bat tle must be fought on the floor of the House of Com mons, and he advised them to take care that their repre sentatives went prepared to do their duty.—(Cheers and laughter.) He was hostile in general to exacting pledges, but under existing circumstances to demand a pledge upon this subject was not only excusable, but absolutely requisite. They must ask their representa tives, " Will you maintain protection in its present posi tion, or will you yield step after step, until all is given up, though you would recoil at the idea of giving it up in a lump ?" There was still a powerful phalanx left in the House of Commons ; and if the agriculturists would stand firm and advise their representatives to do the same, no doubt they would come out of the struggle prosperous and victorious.—(Cries of " No, no," and cheers.) He concluded by moving— " That the unprecedented position in which the owners and occupiers of land, and also labourers and others interested in the welfare of the country, are placed at the present moment, imperatively demands the most serious consideration, and, threatened as we are with the repeal of the corn-laws, it be hoves us to coma forward and prevent so awful a calamity." Mr. STAPELEY seconded the resolution, which the Chairman put and declared to be carried unanimously. There was nevertheless a strong adverse party present, but they did not seem to think it worth while formally to oppose the resolutions. Capt. PILKINGTON proposed the second resolution That this meeting will strenuously endeavour by every constitutional means in its power to secure at the next ge neral election, and when any vacancy for a representative in Parliament may occur, the return of Members of Parliament who are well known to be friendly to agriculture and the landed interests of the country, and who will offer an inde pendent and unflinching opposition to any measures calcu lated to diminish the present amount of protection for do mestic industry." He was happy to say that the popular clamour for free trade did not prevail in the county of Sussex, as it did in some of the manufacturing districts. The cul tivators of the soil—the British farmers—had been de nounced as wicked and un Christian-like and grasping monopolists.—(A voice—" So they arc." Confusion.) They had been Vld that the landlords and farmers had been withholding from the people the food which Pro vidence intended for them.—(Cries of " True, true," followed by cheers.) They were not monopolists. (A cry, " They are," and uproar.) The manufacturers who had amassed wealth, and the money-lenders, were the monopolists. The men who speculated in corn, and bought it up to sell at their own price, were monopolists; not the farmer, nor the landowner. They wt re obliged to pay rent, poor-rates, and tithes. (A voice, " Take off the tithes, then;" hisses, and cheers.) And they were often compelled to sell at any price they could get; they were no monopolists. Could they show him a farmer who had made his fortune? No. (Cries of "Thousands, thousands!") No; he was an animal unknown.—(Laugh ter and cheers.) Were there such an one, Dr. Buckland would soon be down and geologize him; see what stratum he was made of, and send him up to the British Museum in a glass case.—(Roars of laughter.) The farmer, too, paid more than the manufacturer. Who paid for their religion, and provided for the sick and poor? The farmer and the landowner.—(A voice, " Who keeps 1 the farmer?") The farmer was subject to every vicissi tude of weather, and when he spent his capital and labour could not foretel what return he was to have, whereas the manufacturer and the artisan could. Therefore the farmer should be protected. Would they like to see the farmer and his men put to eat rye-bread and boiled beans, and live upon only 4d. a day?—(Cries of " Curry powder!" and muco laughter.) The farmer's prosperity must be identical with their own. Rally round him, then, my dear fellows (said the gallant Captain), as you ever have done in the hour of need. Do not listen to his calumniators, who are seeking to deprive him of the means of paying your wages. Remember, you are part and parcel of the fatherland which gave you birth. Mr. UPTON seconded the resolution, which was put by the Chairman, who pronounced it " carried unani mously," although a very few hands were held up, the great mass of the meeting not voting. Mr. J. BARTON moved the third resolution, which de clared chat the existing protection to agriculture ought te. be maintained, because it would prevent the ruin of s of tradesmen, labourers, artisans, and others, mainly dependent for support on the agricultural interest of the country. Mr. E. WYATT seconded the motion, which was dis posed of like the preceding. On the mot.on of Mr. W. NEWLAND, seconded by Mr. H. DUKE, petitions to her Majesty, and the House of Lords, to be presented by the Duke of Richmond, and one to the House of Commons, to be presented by the Earl of March, were adopted. The Duke of RICHMOND, who was received with mingled cheers and hisses, and cries of " Salmon ! salmon!" said—Gentlemen, a bad cold will prevent me from trespassing long upon your attention; but I may, I hope, be permitted to say, that it will give me the greatest gratification to present at the foot of the throne the petition signed by so large and influential a body of the clergy, the owners and the occupiers of land, and the labourers of my native county.—(Cries of " Bravo!" and cheers.) A handbill has been put into my hand— (Hear, and a laugh)—some few moments since, signed by " One of the Million," and it calls upon the labourers here present to sign a petition for free trade, and not mind what the Duke tells them.—(Great laughter.) Now, gentlemen, I will go at once to that question, and I ask you whether you are more likely to believe in an anonymous signature of " One of the Million" than the individual who now stands before you, who has long known you, who has resided amongst you, and who has always felt the deepest anxiety for your welfare?— (Cheers.) I am happy to see amongst the honest labourers here assembled so many of those friends w in ho c En n i as the chairman of a society for the encouragement of labourers, I have had the pleasure c.trf meeting g an a d t dinner, and of giving prizes to for ti t e h m er en, h it been meritorious conduct.—(Cheers.) Getnhe p i r l esen h t moment arwhat said by some that we ought not at . we l i i t o t n t : ^ t i pon that is, if Like shut tingto mcve, because first we oug 3, h i t y to o wia ? g ( e il t e r a i r d , hear.) pro the plan of Sir R.

Peel does tection ; whether g g r o w i l n ut_ l3 c :i o r know that he is And why do we know it. must call your attention to the facts of this case. Some fortnight or three weeks ago, after Lord J. Russell, the leader of the Whig party, proclaimed his anxiety to join the League, what does Sir R. Peel do? Because etc or two members of his Cabinet will not violate every pledge made upon the h e sting,s, and every opinion expressed by them during their whole lives, he resigns his office, and that office is to be filled up by the Queen, who sends for Lord J. Russell, who would have been able to form a Cabinet had it not been for disagreement among some of his friends. Well, then, what did Sir R. Peel do? He gave up the reins of government to the party who he knew would carry the immediate repeal of the corn-laws. — (Cheers, and cries of No, no.") Well, then, I would say, I wish rather that he had done it himself.— (" Ay, so he will.") Well, then, if a man can be guilty of such treachery, for Heaven's sake let him come forward and avow it. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) What was it that he wanted at that moment? The repeal of the corn-laws. But he could not carry it, and therefore he threw up the Government, that it might come into the hands of Lord J. Russell.—(Cheers.) That is conduct, in my opinion, unworthy of a statesman.—(Cries of " No, no," and cheers.) In this handbill —(" Read, read,")-- it is said, " Sign for free trade, you will have more work, better pay, and better living." Now, if you look at the countries where corn is cheap, they will show you NEW VOLUME. THE BUILDER, an Illustrate,' Weekly Journal fur the Architect, Operative, and Artist, price 3d.

In those countries, as you have been told already, the labourers are worse off than la bourers in any other part of the world; they are worse fed, clothed, and housed. Some time since an Irish la bourer came to London, and with his only sixpence went to purchase some eggs. The shopkeeper gave him four. " Why," exclaimed he, " I could have a dozen for that money in the county of Mayo." " Then," asked the shopman, " why did you not stay there ?" " Why," said the Irishman, " because I could not get the Gd. to purchAte the eggs with."—(Loud laughter, and cries of " That's new, where did he get the Gd. then?") Now, you will observe, that is exactly what, in my humble opinion, will be the case of the labourers of England, and more particularly of the agricultural labourers. Gentlemen, you know well, for many of you were em ployed upon our poorer soils in this neighbourhood, that it is impossible for us to keep that land in cultivation, if we get only 91. a load for our wheat. But that land would be thrown out of cultivation ; and I would ask auy labourer here hether the most distressing situation in which he could be placed could be worse than this—that when you are ready to maintain by the sweat of your brow your wives and children, you would bo answered thus, " My man, I am sorry for you, but no work can I give you, be causet I cann o t a ff or d to emp l oy you." Would you not WRinlat bi a the be i n the use of bread same situationat6d. a as loafthif the Irish youhave laboureraen ? t whoto b h u a y v e i e t v ‘ e v r i t e h x ? p — ve a ( LI d e a v r ie w h s e aor the ld e a e i p n e a o t n c e o m o_f t t h h e o s G e . inisseration for the labourers of this country ; and there fore, I ask you, gentlemen, to come forward and support those whom you know to be your firmest and fastest friends.—(" Cheers" at command.) I ask you not to compromise this great question, because if we once seek to compromise it we get rid of the principle altogether. I ask you also to remember that in the event of war with a foreign country, if we grow not nearly as much wheat as necessary for the consumption of our own people, whether France, Germany, Russia, or Poland, will not he able to defeat us, not on the plains of Blenheim and Waterloo, nor in the actions of Trafalgar and the Nile, but in the task of providing food for our people Gentle men, I can only tell you that in presentingyour petition I shall be happy to express to her Majesty the deep value I entertain for the yeomanry and labourers of England, and to assure her of my deep sense that the public opinion is very different from the bought and popular clamour which has been excited in some of the manufacturing districts.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, you as well as I have interests to protect and support. I ask you all to make a pull, a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether. (Cheers, and some ironical cries.) And, then I ask, have the respectable inhabitants of this county made that pull in vain ?—(Hear.) Gentlemen, I thank you for your attention. I wish I had strength to say more, but I can assure you, for one, that I am determined to pursue that straightforward and honest path which, whenever strayed from, must end in ruin and desola tion.—(Cheers.) . _ Lord W. LENNOX said that he could vouch for one thing—that their representative, the Earl of March, would have great pleasure in presenting their petition to the House of Commons.—(Hear, hear.) He wished some of the Leaguers were present —(A Voice—" Oh, you would be frightened," and laughter.) He wished the Leaguers had been present to hear the sentiments that day uttered in that room.—(" Oh, you would run away.") The Leaguers talked of free trade, which meant only low wages to the labourer, and the taking of money out of the pockets of the agriculturists to put into the pockets of the manufacturers. The sentiments uttered by the Leaguers were calculated only to bring anarchy and confusion, to set the labourer against the farmer, and the farmer against the occu pier of land, and the occupier against the owner and landlord ; so that in the general scramble the Leaguers might come in for a share of the profits. —(Cheers and hisses.) Those Leaguers, too, were very abusive. What said Cobden ?—(Cries of " Ay, that's the man.") Yes, that was the man.—(Cheers and laughter.) Cobden said, "If you landlords will as sent to the repeal of the corn-laws, and to have all your lands thrown out of cultivation, then we will not ask you to disgorge all your ill-gotten gains." Why, where was the farmer who had any such gains ? There was no such person in the world.—(Laughter and cheers.) The manufacturers pretended to sympathise with the agricultural labourers in respect to what they were pleased to term their distressed condition ; but did they think that by throwing those labourers cut of employment they would improve their condition ? had those who heard him ever read the accounts given before Parliamentary Committees of the cruel manner in which young children were treated in facto ries ? He himself once saw the late Mr. Sadler produce, in the House of Commons, a sort of knout or stick, to which a thong of leather was fastened, with which the poor little creatures were beaten when they fell asleep from over-fatigue ; and yet those manufacturers were the persons upon whose tender mseoioa they svor onnve called on to rely. He considered Sir R. Peel had for feited his word, and violated the pledge he gave when he went into power under the banners on which was in scribed, " Protection to Agriculture." In the words of the poet : " An open foe may prove a curse, But a pretended friend is worse." (Cheers and laughter.) They had that in Sir H. Peel, and the sooner they got rid of him and those that sup ported him the better.—(Cheers.) lie was at a loss to know where Sir Robert Peel would take his seat in the House next session. The Radicals would have nothing to do with him. Cobden had said at the Covent-garden Parliament lately that no man of respectability and honour ought to speak to such a man. The Premier's own friends were disgusted with him. He (Lord W. Lennox) was in London during the Ministerial inter regnum, and he could assure the meeting that a Conser vative would be immediately recognised by the long face he pulled.—(A laugh.) " The greatest political scoun drel that ever existed," was a mild term to some that he heard applied to Sir R. Peel.—(Laughter, and cries of "Oh, oh !") He thought they must have him on the floor of the House ; and he recommended the agri culturists to send up an empty sack marked " English Agriculture," and tell Sir Robert to bolster himself up with full sacks from foreign ports. In conclusion, be would read to the meeting some lines written by a late pt esident of an agricultural society, Sir John Sinclair : " Let this be held the farmer's creed, — For stock seek out the choicest breed, In peace and plenty let them feed. Your lands sown with the choicest seed ; Let it not dung nor dressing need ; Enclose and drain it with all speed, And you will soon be rich indeed." —(Great laughter.) To those lines he had added a few others : " Turn out Sir Robert with all speed. - (Cheers and laughter.) His Cabinet from free trade weed. Don't trust to him—a broken reed, Who's faithless both in word and deed. Protection seek, and thus agreed, The farmers may be rich indeed." (Cheers and laughter, during which a voice added— " The worst of verses I ever zeod." and another— " The worst of readers I ever heard read.") As the Noble Duke quoted a part only of the hand bill which seemed to give him so much offence, it may be as well to give the whole of it:— " Labourers of Sussex,—A glorious power is this day put into your hands by your masters, who think by the show your numbers will make to keep up rents and high prices, and consequently keep you poor. Don't sign their papers, but, instead, petition for a free trade in everything, which will give you—whatever the Duke may tell you to the con trary—more work, better pay, and better living. Yetl f, Y o ne_ you want this, and, having the example of strengwth.,_.h w" you, try for it. Free trade, I say, " ONE OF THE A man who had been employed and no cvr si v by a person this handbill amongst the crowd 7 , as seized the door of the Corn-Exchange, named Pasco near to distribute copies of IPA " roughlyhandled, and kicked out; but itR said that th e ma matter will not end there, as the friends of the bill-dis tributor, who, it appears, made no noise, nor interfered with the proceedings, are determined that proper pro ceedings shall bo taken to bring the perpetrator of the assault to justice. On the motion of the Duke of Richmond, a vote of thanks was prese n t ed to the Chairman for his serv i ces . si e ni h rg e ll e et r d. cheers Peel en o er unwelcome Duke oanidie t o au f lel i o t uy i , c g Rich mond, ni n o , sd . w i a n s followed which wa;s by ai nn t at h e r rt e om e compliment hseissandg groans ;and follow g er ro s. ans so by p t l le asa la n n t dl a o n rds ex a h n i d bi t t h io e n ir smock-frocked , however, could not be allowed to close by those who got it up without the addition with which many other almost equally ridiculous affairs terminate—a display of fire works. Two of the lowest ruffians in Chichester—one of them known at Petworth—had been employed by one of the Duke's political dirty-work-men, the aforesaid Pasco, to bring in and parade before the hustings, just as the proceedings were about to end, a copy of the Times newspaper, at which the Duke's toadies on the platform looked with ill-disguised astonishment, and cried " Take it away I Down with it !" The display of the broad sheet would have been little understood by the majority of the multitude had it not been for some strips of paper pasted thereon, upon which strips was printed its title, " 7he Times," in large capitals. Upon the name being generally recognised so many complimentary cheers were given that the chawbacons who surrounded the framework to which it was fastened looked inquiringly at their fuglemen and paymasters on the hustings for the signal which should direct the next part of the performance. This was soon telegraphed, and the paper was instantaneously set on fire and consumed, the Noble Duke and his friends feasting their eyes in silence on the flame, which spared the frame-work, or gallows, as it was termed, to which the paper had been affixed ; a ghastly symbol of the fate which may attend those who follow up this public and authoritative lesson in incen diarism. The landowners and occupiers, one would think, had already experienced enough of the consequence of their labourers learning the use of pocket lucifer matches without the further instruction and encourage ment afforded to them by this glaring act of folly. We have good authority for stating that the majority of the citi zens of Chichester regard this as a most con tempt4_le proceeding, and the meeting itself as an insult. as th e Duke of Richmond and his friends well know that th ey a ,but do not agree with their opinions on the corn-I w particularly because a large number of agric ultur al labourers an dba w l at e c r o e m h m ire a d to ul attend som the Some ofth zet werei ng , and allowed to cheer hr theee J(.‘ m/d [TH PROFITS, Age.

It is unnecessary is this Prospectus, to enlarge upon the advan tages of Life Assurance, or its adaptation to most of the exigencies and relations in life. These benefits have been so extensively pub lished, that they are already well understood and appreciated. This Company is formed for granting every description of Life Assurance, Annuity, and Endowment ; Loans either for long or short periods to persons effecting Assurances, upon receiving satis factory security for the payment of premium and interest, and the repayment of the principal, by instalments or otherwise, as may be agreed ; also for the purchase of Reversionary Interests, Policies of Assurance, and every other description of property. Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se curity, and effecting a policy of Assurance for the amount bor rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, so long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party borrowing 1,0001. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum b erect, the sum assured being applied by the Company to repay its advance. The premiums are based upon data derived from the most recent and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably adjusted scale. One of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance Socie ties, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With this view, four-fifths of the profits, arising from Policies effected by parties on the terms of participation, will be divided every three years, after the first five years, among those who assure for the whole term of life. The sum so divided among the Assured, to be applied to the reduction of the annual premium, or added to the sum assured as bonus, or paid in present value, at the option of the Assured. For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or for the whole of life, without participation in the profits, a scale has been adopted, which is as moderate as it can be rendered consistently with the interests of the Company. Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of one-half enly of the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the interest upon the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment of the arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a full partici pation of the profits. The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value of the policy, on its security. In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will be exercised. A table of premiums will shortly be published. TONTINE ANNUITIES. This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to the public, is influenced by the belief that there are many persons, who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this mode of investment ;—by which they will secure a large remunera tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company during their own lives or the lives of their nominee. The following is an illustration of the principle of the Tontine An nuities :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or their respec tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an- W n n u t l t , y d granted e i s c 6 . l n . tpienruaenecnot.opfealrlatthineuriv,ese,arcehcesiuvbesaenribeanrnouritnyoomf 6inlee; lives a ta t it i a e s dw t ai l l i ml e tohnegn drop, the share of the deceased parties will be l the receive sur o perannum v o or il t h e y for life arere reduced ; ed to ix but as re spectively die off, the 1,0001. per year wh i ch the deceasesdPtaheraetycyhof wl v ion re ceived will fall into the funds of the Company, for the benefit of the shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of Subscribers or their nominees. This mode of investment will place it in the power of almost every individual, at 501fle period of life, by prudently and legiti ma t e l y ap propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which in many in stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to secure Indepen dence and comfort in their declining years. Parents may also by these means provide for their children. Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations. . s Applications i3arker, fo u r sq., Shares, No .461 n, Lincoln's following oin,s In n.

Nothing could be better devised than Nicoll's Re. gistered Paletot to suit the ever-varied nature of our climate, forming, as it now does, not only the sine qua non of the railway traveller, but is equally so adapted for any gentleman taking out-door exercise. It may be said distinctly to mark the costume of the nineteenth century, if that is rightly called marked which is only conspicuous for an unpretending and graceful bearer, the wearer feeling se much at ease. Certainly as an over-coat it is patronised highly, and is also a general public favourite, being so peculiarly English, and avoiding all foreign extravagance of style.

A Meeting of the Committee of Management of the above Rail way Company was held on Friday, the 19th ultimo, at the offices of the Company, No. 17, Fludyer-street, Westminster, W. COLLINS, Esq., M.P., in the Chair, to take inte consideration the state of their affairs, and the course it would become them to take, in consequence of the Plans and Sections not having been duly lodged, as well as in consequence of their extremely defective state. These two f a cts having been clearly demonstrated, the Committee felt that, in justice to the shareholders, there was no course open but that of immediately checking all further outlay, and proceeding to wind up the affairs of the Company for this year. The following resolutions were unanimously adopted : " That as the gross negligence of the engineer and lithographer, relative to the Plans and Sections, has rendered it impossible to proceed to Parliament in the ensuing session with any chance of success, this Committee deem it advisable to wind up this concern as promptly as possible for this session, rather than involve the Company in further expenses at the present time." "That, accordingly, the sum of twenty eight shillings per share be forthwith returned to the shareholders by an order on the Com pany's Bankers, to be granted at the offices, No. 17, Fludyer-street, Westminster, on producing the scrip, and that a memorandum be in dorsed thereon, which will entitle each holder to the same number of shares in the new Company, with an allowance per share on the deposit then required, equal to the present deduction of 12s. per share." " foun,scorrect, Thatall outstanding thattt anditnhey may be accounts lt g becalled e in . Lmmediately, in order, dis discharged." ..

REPORT. The Committee have to report that nothing has been wanting on their part, or on that of their solicitors and secretary, to insure the success of the undertakinz. The solicitors' department having been conducted with great care and ability, and the Book of Reference having been ready for deposit in ample time, the failnre in the deposit of Plans and Sections is en tirely to be attributed to the neglect of the engineer and his assist ants—a neglect the more extraordinary, inasmuch as at a very early date the Committee were repeatedly assured by the engineer that everything in his department was in the most advanced state. The assurance that the plans and sections would be complete long before the 30th, was repeated at two several meetings of some of the Committeeo at Birmingham in the middle of November, and reite rated in London from day to day, and from hour to hour, towards the close of the month, until, tired out by the frequent excuses for not producing the same, several members of the Committee resolved to convince themselves as to tl.e real state of things by an investigation at the lithographer's office, when, to their extreme astonishment, they found that, even so late as Saturday afternoon, the sections had not been engraved. Ity dint of the greatest exertions, however, this part of the duty was at length got through, though, as it afterwards proved, in a most defective manner. On the morning of the 30th the lithographer ceased his labours, really, or pretending to be, broken down by exertion. At this critical moment of the proceedings three of the Committee and the solicitor found themselves reduced to the necessity of assist ing ronally is the lithographer's work, and in arranging and O ,L/cap the sheets, and by these means, at length, in the afternoon tuu rth, the Plans and Sections were dispatched to their several des intrusted the standing Part of t l s cr i. ; but notwithstanding every exertion, especially on the ers of Parliament. wi g'o t ody, one of the Committee, and of the local agents The Committeer ( Ills duty, the Deposits were too late to comply with voured to do thet- have only further to add, that they have endea their labours the ( y tii , d E r mei t y tiitshbfueilluyg.tuoutehxeaushuauraethioolltd,efrusu,nbdutsuauftteter utterly worthless) odled in tohnieyrehsounluetsitoucosubresteerlee-ftmtehnetiinunteod.pursue is that which is einis der the WM.

AYLESBURY, DEC. 31.—The annual general meeting of the Royal Bucks Agricultural Association took place this afternoon, at the George Inn, Aylesbury. The at tendance of tenant farmers and landholders of the county was very considerable, the meeting being presided over by his Grace the Duke of Buckingham. Among the gentlemen present w lio took part in the proceeding, were the Hon. Captain Fitzmaurice, M.P., Mr. R. K. Clayton, M.P., Major-General Sir James Watson, Captain Dean, Captain Anderson, Colonel. Watson, the Rev. E. E. Gray, the Rev. J. Rose, B.D. Letters having been read from Mr. C. J. Dupre, M. P., and Mr. C. Tower, M.P., regretting their absence, but expressing their determination to resist an) alteration in the present existing corn laws, to the injury of tha agr;cultural interest, The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said, that having trans acted the routine business of the day, be should not be doing his duty if he did not offer a few observations on what should be the course for them to pursue at the pre sent momentous crisis, and on the present position in which the agricultural interest of this country stood.— (Hear.) He had, on so many occasions, expressed to them and the country at large his opinion upon the ques tion of the corn-laws, that he would not fatigue them by entering into detail upon the merits of a question upon which his opinions had for so long a period been known. He would simply state that those opinions still remained unchanged.—(Cheers.) It must be admitted on all hands that the present was a momentous crisis in the affairs of the nation, and it might be necessary, before long, for the agriculturists of the country to take steps for the protection of that interest which had so long been enjoyed, and which, as a body, they so much deserved.—(Hear.) They were all aware that there had recently been a great division in her Majesty's Cabinet, that it had teen broken up, that another had been at tempted to be formed by the opponents of Sir H. Peel's Government, and that it had failed, and it was equally notorious that the Ministry of Sir R. Peel had, with some alteration, been reconstructed —(Hear.) Upon vs hat grounds the first Government of Sir H. Peel was broken up, and upon what principles its opponents were allowed to make a❑ attempt to form a Ministry, and attempt to come again into power, he begged to say he was as much in the dark as they were.—(hear.) He knew nothing about it but by common rumour, and rumour ascribed it to a division upon that important, and to all present, in teresting question—the corn -laws.—(Hear.) A rumour that the Prime Minister had declared in favour of a re peal, or such an alteration, as would materially affect their interests, had gone abroad, and he would say that even as a rumour the matter was worthy their serious consideration, and might render it necessary not only for the agricultural interest to watch most narrowly the proceedings of her Majesty's Ministry, but, as he had before said, to take some steps for their own pro tection and the protection of the country generally.— (Cheers.) For his own part he did not wish to con ceal from them his opinion that the agricultural body in this country had the power, if they pleased, to crush and to defeat any attempt that might be made to repeal the corn-laws.—(Hear.) He said this, knowing well what power the agricultural population of England did possess, and he said so as being identified and closely connected with that particular interest.—(Hear.) He again said that he was aware of the power they had if they knew how to use it.—(Cheers.) The way in which they ought to take up that important question was, in the national point of view, affecting deeply the interests of all, both high and low.—(Hear.) He again denied, as he had done on former occasions, that the repeal of the corn-laws would benefit the poorer classes of the community in this country.—(Cheers.) He looked at this question truly in a national point of view, and he could not view but with dismay the privations and the trouble likely to be inflicted on the country should the corn-laws be repealed.—(Hear.) All of them were aware of what art, science, and industry had done to advance the agriculture, and consequent prosperity of the country ; but if the corn-laws were repealed, their re sources in this respect would become crippled, and what, he would ask, would be the result if a ear was to take place ? By what means, then, were these resources to be brought to bear if the corn-laws were repealed, and all the bad lands thrown out of cuLivation ? (Hear, hear.) He (the Noble Duke) was not fond of vituperation, nor would he ever lend himself to per sonal abuse ; but he would ask, what had been the con- duct of those who, by the aid of the agricultural inte rest, had been placed in power? Ii had been to fly in the faces of those who gave them that power. The Whigs were at least consistent, but not so the Conser vative party sent in by the voice of the agricultural population. He (the Duke of Buckingham) would pub licly declare his conviction that, if the corn-laws were repealed, such a proceeding would sound the death. knell of the independence and prosperity of the coun try.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") If it was true that Sir R. Peel's Administration had the design of re pealing the corn-laws, he could only say that he could not see upon what principle of fairness or honesty to the agricultural interest who placed them in power they could have in bringing forward such a scheme.—(Hear.) lie could understand it coining from the Opposition, and could accord to them that they had honestly and fairly adhered to their principles; but if it be the case with Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues, that they had agreed to become the instruments for a repeal of the corn laws, and thereby destroy the agricultural interest of the country, he was then prepared to say that they were acting in the very teeth of those by whom they had been supported, and whom they were bound to protect.—(Hear, hear.) These were his opi nions, but he was desirous of waiting for confirmation until the meeting of Parliament, when they would be able to know what the real intentions of the Ministry were with reference to this important question.—(Hear.) If he found that what had been rumoured was in re ality the case, then he was prepared to tell them that they were not only acting in direct opposition to their declaration which placed them in power, but in direct opposition to the wishes of the farmer and the good opinion of the agricultural portion of the country. — (Hear.) He was glad that the farmers were coming forward in every part of the country as they should, and they would not be doing their duty in Buckinghamshire if they did not also come forward. After some further remarks the Noble Duke resumed his seat amidst loud cheering. The Hon. Captain FITZMAURICE, M.P., rose to pro pose the first resolution. He agreed with tha Noble Duke in the chair that the agricultural interest had the power, if they had the will, to see that the pro mises made by the Conservative Administration were kept, not only in the letter, but in the spirit. The superiority of the English farmer over the farmers of any other country was attributable to our protective system; and in a corresponding degree as that system became relaxed foreign nations increased their duties, and thus the evil told deubly against us. After a long ad. ress, in wlai .11 the Hon. and Gallant Captain charged the Anti-Corn-law League, as professed admirers of the Reform Bill, with carrying out, on a gigantic scale, in the counties, that same system of venality which they had deprecated in the old rotten boroughs, he concluded by moving a resolution to the effect:— " That, looking with suspicion at the present conduct of Ministers, the meeting considers it to be its duty to warn the agriculturists of their danger, and to call upon them to unite in resisting any attempt which may be made to repeal the existing corn-laws." Mr. W. JENINGS seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Sir JAMES WATSON moved elo second resoluti( n : .. That local petitions be prepared in every p ar i s h i n t h e county, to the Queen and both Houses of Pailiament, pray ing that any attempt which might be made t o i nter f ere w i th the present pr otection to agriculture would be resisted." Mr. Jouza STONE seconded this re , olution. Mr. CLAYTON, M.P. for Aylesbury, express- d his cor dial approbation of the course pursued by the agricul tural body, decla re d hi s op i nion still unchanged on the necessity of th e ex i st i ng corn laws, and a determination t o resist the Ministry in any attempt to destroy protec tion to agriculture. About 200 gentlemen subsequently sat down to a din ner, presided over by his Grace the Duke of Bucking ham, and the proceedings tot minated. HERTS. A large and influential meeting of the noblemen and gentlemen forming this society, as well as of the tenant farmers interested in the agriculture prosperity of Hert fordshire, was held yesterday in the Town-hall of St. Albans, for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken in the present extraordinary crisis. The Noble the Marquis of Salisbury was called to the chair. The platform was densely crowded with the principal landholders of the county, and there might be some five hundred respectable farmers in the body of the hall, among the former we observed:— The Marquis of Salisbury, K.G., in the chair ; Earl of Essex, Lord Dacre, Hon.
