The following letter appears in the Times : A society called the Farriers' Horseshoe Fund was established in 1847, and in that year the rules were duly certified; they were revised i❑ August, 1862, and again certified. The society is now held at the Fountain, New-street, Golden-square, and consists, from the report of 1866, of nearly 300 members. The objects of the society, as stated in the rules, are to afford relief to the membefs when sick, suf fering from infirmity, and old age, and for the burial of the members and their wives, and the tables of contributions and benefits were originally certified by an actuary. It would appear from the annual accounts that, in addition to a friendly society, it had become a trade society, as payments were made to members out of work, although the rules contained no provision for such payments. In November, 1866, there was a special general meeting of the society to receive a report with re ference to an intended Reform Demonstration, and it was resolved that the members of this society should join such demonstration. On the 3d of December the Reform Demonstra tion took place, which was attended by several members, and. the appearance of the mounted farriers was specially alluded to in the newspapers. Ou the Bth of February last two members of this society called upon me yespecting the misappli- 1 cation of the funds, which had been applied t.) de fray the expenses attending the Reform Demonstra tion, and requesting me to take proceedings against the officers under the 231 and 21th Vic., cap. 58, see . 9, which authorises the Registrar " to proceed summarily, if any officer, member, or other person misapplies the funds, or wilfully applies any part of the same to purposes other than those expressed or directed in the rules of the society, and, on convic tion, subjects the offenders to repay the amount of money improperly applied, and to pay, if the jus tices think fit, a further sum of money not exceeding £2O, together with costs, and in default of such re: pa y m ents, &e., the justices may order the parties convicted to be imprisoned in the common gaol, &c., with or without hard labour, for any time not exceeding three months." I immediately communicated with the society as to whether the facts stated were true, and obtained the following account of the expenses attending the Reform Demonstration on Dec. 3, 186(, amounti❑g to £63 10s. 3d., which had been paid out of the funds of the society contributed for the relief of the I members in sickness, &c. : . - • - --- - - • .

On the 13th inst. I received a letter stating that the money withdraw❑ from the friendly fund of the Farriers' Horseshoe Fund Society for the Reform Demonstration of the 3d of December last had been replaced to that fund, and that in future no money will be taken away for trade purposes at all. Under these circumstances it is not my intention to take further proceedings. I have troubled you with this for the purpose of informing the members of Friendly Societies thatif I am furnished with sufficient evidence of any mis application of the funds they will find me ready to take the necessary proceedings to punish the offenders.

MAINUIS OF ABERCORN ON TilE CONDITION OF IREL.4.VD. • . 'Flu; .Lord-Lientenlnt, accompanied by the Mac chioneo Abercoru, th. Ladie.3 Hamilton, and o: , Wolneschly ykited the show of catal and agricultural implements, held on the premises of the Royal Dublin 6)ciety, and male a minute inspec tion of all the departments. In the evening his excellency presided at the meeting for the distribu tion of prizes to the successful competitors, and, in acknowledging the vote of tlanki accorded to him, made the folowing remarks lord and gentle men,--I rise, in the first place, to return thanks to my noble friend (Lord Clancarty) for the very kind manner in which he proposed the vote of thanks on the occasion of my attending here to-night, and also to yoU for the kind and cordial manner ,in which you responded to that proposition. (Hear, hear.) I assure you it is a matter of great satisfaction. to me to preside for the first time in your society. Perhaps the pleasure I feel is enhanced by being able to take the bright side of the picture, .and by being able to congratulate you upon the com- plete success of your show and exhibition this day. There were various reasons which seemed to indicate that the spring meeting of the pre- sent year might not be so favourable as in former years. We have had a winter of unusual severity; we have had nipping winds preventing the ver-cluake of .your fields, and almost the vegeta- tion. We have had still more a disturbed state of the country, which for some months paralysed the hand of the farmer, and has thrown uncertainty, doubt, and distrust upon all employments and avocations of peaceful and industrial life, (Hear, hear, and applause.) While looking to these facts, the successful result of your meeting to-day is a subject of the highest satisfaction. It shows that the prosperity and strength of agriculture here are not built upon a flimsy or unsubstantial foundation, or liable to be much affected by extraneous or for tuitous events, but that the fostering care of socie ties like this, and the increase of skill and intelli gence amongst all classes of farmers, have produced their fruits in the certainty of remunerative. returns, and the increased improvement in agricultural skill and labour. Mr. Mansell has with much ability described the show-yard to-day. I need go no further than to say that, as usual, short-horns were in preponderance. We all bow with proper sub mission to Mr. Challoner's Sovereign, which de serves at some future time to be the monarch of herds. (Applause.) With regard to sheep the entries have not been so numerous, but I believe they have been exceedingly good, many of the animals being of very high quality. In swine the entries were more numerous. In short, the state of the show-yard was most satisfactory. If we look further into the matter, we -shall find that the evidence of the past year fully bears oat the promise of the show yard to-day—the increasing improvement in the prominent feature which eminently and specially characterises your society as far as agriculture is concerned, namely, the improvement and increase of stock throughout the country. (Hear, hear.) We find that in the three years since 1863 there has been an increase of 600,000 in cattle, and the value of these cattle must not be estimated by its nume rical increase, considering the value of cattle at the present time. The increase in sheep approaches one million, which must be also estimated upon an in creased value as compared with former years. (Ilear, hear.) There is one point to which I look with some anxiety, which is well worthy the cousi- deration of those who are able to give a most coin prehensive view of subjects of this nature. I meat that while tittle have increasel in the last three years 600,000, and sheep to the extent of one 'mil lion, the quantity of land under rotation of crops has decreased by 450,009 acr, and the decrease of green crops alone is upwards of 150,000 * acres, while there has been very little increase in hay and meadow lands. Therefore, there is some doubt whether so large an increase of cattle and sheep, without corresponding crops, is an unmixed bene fit. There is another subject that has not been mentioned here to-night, but it is one to which the society has devoted much care and attention—l mean the culture of flax. (Hear.) As one connected with a part of the country where it is very exten sively grown, and as I believe I have as largo a number of flax-growing tenants as any one, I would take the liberty of making a few observations on it. I believe there can be no doubt that flax, as it is cultivated in Ulster, is 'a most profitable crop for the small farmer, and by the small farmer I mean the man holding from 10 or 15 to 30 or 40 acres of land. But while I assert that, I do not mean to convey that it is not also a crop profitable to the large farmer. There are special reasons why flax should be a crop more profitable to the small than to the large farmer ; and amongst others may be mentioned the fact that the small farmer is able to use the unpaid labour of his family in the preparation lg. the crop for culture, and in all the processes of steeping and drying in which the small farmer dis plays his skill and industry. The lar g e farmer, how ever, .is not so circumstanced, for he has to use paid labour—the ordinary hired labour, without the existence of that esprit de corps which is to be found among the members of the same family who work and labour together for a co mon object. (Mar, hear.) It is, therefore, pretty clear that, though flax may be a profitable crop to the large farmer, it is to the small farmer essentially advantageous, and it is among the small farmers you should NV ish to see it extended. (Hear, hear.) I now come to the question whether it is possible to introduce the culture of flax into the other three provinces just as it has been cultivated in Ulster, and I confess I have some doubts as to whether it is practicable to introduce it to the same degree as in Ulster. If you look to the physical features of Ulster, you will find that it is, as a rule, a hilly country, and very much intersected by small natural streamlets, and therefore it is that it is so well adapted for the cultivation and preparation of flax. It is in consequence of this abundance of water iu Ulster that the small - farmer can have his own steeping place or flax-dam, and it is because of the want of this abundance that you will find it diffi cult to get the small farmers of the other proviucef to plant and cultivate flax to the same extent as is done in Ulster. And concomitant with this is the existence of scutching-mills, which are so essen tial to the preparation of flax for market, and which exists in several parts of Ulster. There is another subject in which I take a very deep interest, and which this society has displayed considerable concern. While we spare nothing that skill and science, and money can avail iu the improvement of our herds, and in the better cultivation of our fields, we must not forget those to whom the care of the cattle and the cultivation of the fields are intrusted —I mean the agricultural labourer of the country. (Hear, hear.) I confess that, as a large proprietor in Ireland, I have long felt that the improvement of the homes of the agricultural labourers is one that must take a prominent part in the requirements of the present day. (Hear, hear.) No doubt, the 'improvement of the farmers' homes would be ad vantageous, but the farmers are able, to a certain degree, to take care of themselves ; and between then the labourer, the adscriptus glebx, is apt to fall through. (Rear, hear.) I believe the condition of the labourer, as regards wages and diet, has been ag very much improved during the last 20 'years, bat I do not think it has kept pace with the times, and I very much fear that the old cabins of their _fore fathers shelter many lab ourers of the present day. (Hear, hear.) While we r e g ret the ernigrationfwell that is taking so much of the bone and sinew. on o land to other countri es, it will be a questi h w o r th the consideration of the society by what means and how far a better and more improved home would render the peasant c omfortable and c ontented, and reconc iled to remain on his native (Applause.)

The Enchantress arrived atl l 2 Portsmouth yesterday morning from the wesfitar , and remained at her moorings in the harbour for the nigh t. Rear-Admiral R. S. Robinson, Con troller of the Navy, met their Lordships on their arrival in harbour, having left London for Portsmouth the same morning. Major A. Clarke, RE., the Director of Works to the Adtniralty, ac companied Admiral Dacres and Captain Brand reth to the new barracks of the Royal Marine Ar tillery at Eastney. The First Lord and other mem bers of the Board, with their Secretary, visited other parts of the naval establishment iu the port ; I during the afternoon. The armoured iron screw.frigate Minotaur, 26, Capt. Goodenough, flagship of Admiral Warden, second in command of the Channel Squadron, left Spithead, yesterday morning, to make au official trial of her speed with her screw at its present pitch, in accordance with Admiralty orders. The frigate was under way shOrtly before noon, and was steered out S.E. of the anchorage and off the east end of the Isle of Wight, to give time for the stowage of her anchor before entering on her runs over the measured mile. The Enchantress accompanied her. In the run out from Spithead to the Nab, and when nearing the latter, with the revolutions of the en gines approaching their maximum rate, the after condenser gave out in the lower part under the air pump cover, opening out a crack longitudinally of nearly 2ft. in length. This unexpected accident at once put an end to any further attempts at a trial, and the ship returned to Spithead, where she an chored until high water, when she was taken into Portsmouth harbour to undergo the necessary re- pairs. In consequence of the removal of several work men from the unarmoured screw corvette Blanche, 6, 1,268 tons, 350 horse power, one of the new cor vette class of ships building at Chatham, the com pletion of that vessel will be delayed until August next, by which time she is to be ready for launch ing. The Blanche is constructed on the U-shaped midship sections, which form a distinctive feature in the ships designed by Mr. Reed, carrying her bow well out of the water, with the projecting un derwater Ow, and her lines fined off forward. In board she is a roomy vessel, while the space between decks is considerably more than has hitherto been considered essential in vessels below the frigate class. As iu the cas'.! of all the wooden ships now built for the British,navy, iron as a material has been large Ly. used in the constriction of the Blanche wherever found practicable. Her upper and main deck beams are of rolled iron, from the I3utterley works, and her gun deck with the ordinary iron deck plates. Au alteration has been made in her magazines to enable her to carry. the two additional guns she is intended • to carry. The handsome block of buildings erected at the extremity of the Royal Marine barracks, Chatham, as quarters for the officers of the Royal Marines, have been completed by the coutracturs, Messrs. Foord and Sons, Rochester, and will shortly be handed over to the Admiralty. The new buildings include residences for five field officers, with a cen tral house for the Second Commandant of the divi sion, together with quarters for 12 captains and 24 subalterns, each officer having the proper number of rooms assigned according to his rank. The cost of ' the new buildings, exclusive of the site, and includ ing the, extra works, is £20,000. As soon as the new quarters arc occupied the range of buildings now appropriated as grand divisional offices and quarters for the junior officers of the division will be removed, and the present barrack square joincd to the parade ground, in front of the new quarters for the men, completed. One of Martin's improved patent self-canting two-fluked anchors, manufactured by order of the Board of Admiralty, was yesterday tested in the hydraulic press at Woolwich, according to the strict regulations of the service. The anchor weighs 19 cwt. 1 qr. 17 lb., and the stock 2 qrs. 2 lb., and is intended for use on board her Majesty's steam store 7 ship Industry. The textile strain was worked up to 20 tons, and on examination the maximum varia tion was 3-16ths, which, however, fully regained its position without leaving the slightest perma nent change. The inventor had propo3ed to carry the strain some 25 per cent. above the Admiralty regulation, but Admiral Drummond considered the quality of the metal to have been sufficiently tested. Commodore Klmonstone, C. 8., superintendent of the dockyard, Mr. Ladd, mas ter shipwright, Commander Dillon, master at tendant, the master smith, and other officers, directed the proof, which was very satisfactory. Col. Connolly, commanding the division of Royal Marine Light Infantry at Woolwich, yesterday re ceived instructions from the Royal Marine-office to hold in readiness for departure on the 29th inst. the following detachments for relief on board the under mentioned Coastguard ships :—Capt. Dunn, Lieut. Erskine Tudor Risk, one sergeant, one corporal, and 58 privates for service ou board the Trafalgar, at Leith ; Capt. Short, Lieut. Ilollard, two sergeants, one corporal, one drummer, and 64 privates for the Revenge, at Pembroke Dock; one sergeant, two corporals, one drutnmer, and 57 privates, under charge of the officer who returns with the detach ment relieved, for the Lion, at Greenock ; one cor ! poral and four privates for the Pembroke, at Har , with ; one corporal and 13 privates for the Daunt less, at Hull ; one corporal, one drumme►ar, andapt.
