A G ItICU LTURE.—The- COM . Mittee on Monday proceeded to the discussion.of the important question- - what Report they should make• to the House. No Member adduced any thing as the outline of a Report, or submitted any distinct propositions for the - consideration of the Committee.;, but during the whole of. the day they were engaged in discussing what had been . adduced on the one hand,: by those who appeared, in. support,of, the Agriculturists,' Peti tions, and on the.other, by persons who gave tes timony in opposition to _that of the Farmers , . After this extended discussion, the only.result that was come to was, that the debate should be resumed on Wednesday (this day). The following Tiremiums were-adjutt 4 Ai t at Oving,ham fair, -or, the - Mb: tilt by the 'Tyneside .44' 4 7, - leidttf.sak Society Nirm.'Laws, Esq.

After which the Report was confirmed by the Council, and the Com mittee were ordered to procure plans of the-intended Corn Mar= kit; and empowered to adopt any measures calculated to fur ther its erection: During the meeting, a memorial or petition was presented and read, signed by some of the corn-dealers in Lord-street, and owners of property in that . neighbourhood : it stated that they would suffer great inconvenience, if the schem e of the Corporation was carried into effect ; and that the land in EVertint Gardens was .better adapted for the situation of a Corn Market, after the removal of the buildings at the top of Lord street, eominitnicating• therewith. But the petition very pro perly met with no attention; we say-properly, because we can not see .why the convenience of the farmers and. public, (for whose benefit alone, we consider the Corn Market i s i n t en d e d ) , should be sacrificed for the sake of causing advantage to any individuals resident, -or owning property in the ;Own ; and by any b other arrangement than the present wise one, such sacrifice must happen ;—for look where we will, we cannot find a situation more suitable than the one chosen, whether we take Into consideration its proxiMity to the quarter from whence most of the grain comes to our market, of its central posi tion, and the excellent communication it possesses to all parts of the town.—ln short, we deem . this projected • arrangement highly creditable to the Mayor .and Corporation, as well as a great convenience to the Farmers and the Public.—(Preston Sentinel.) . The following is given as an instance of-the value of the po tatoe in the fattening of cattle :-21 acres Were planted, from the produce of which • 40 .fat, beasts have been kept from the first week in February to the present" time ; also seven cows, many pi g s, &c. &c. There stillrernains sufficient for the beasts for three weeks to come, and seed for 21 `acres. .The gentleman who 'made the experiment considers one -acre of potatoes equal to . two of turnips, with this advantage, that when th e p o t a t oe begins to germ .it is even more nutritious than when first taken ont of the 'ground ; the beasts average 50 stone, cost per acre 40s. STAFFORDSHIRE EASTER SESSION.,-The appeal cause of Thos. Allen, Esq. of Great Fenton, against an order made by two Justices for payment of• agistment of tithe for, saddle horses, was quashed. , • The Justices thereby deciding that &gist . - ment tithe is not payable for saddle horses.---This question, which is of considerable importance, is intended to be brought before the Court of Exchequer, .where, in 18064' agistment tithe for a saddle horse was said to' have been decreed. - It has been observed, that if annual rewards . were given to servants arid labourers in the parishes where they resid, more good would.be effected, (even if the reward was only one guinea in each parish) than by offering_ twenty guineas at a district or county agricultural meeting.—(Doncaster Gazette.) INJURIOUS PRACTICE of BLEACHING AND COLOURING SEEns.:—The following remarks are of importance to farmers : The dishonest seed dealers practise, for the most part, upon very, inferior samples in respect to colour, but such as are not particularly lean or shrivelled. Not unfrequently it is old seed, or that which has been damaged by damp or accident, which. they subject to the deceptive process. The seeds are laid upon a kiln, "and a moderate tire is made under th e m, u p on w h ic h fire they throw pounded brimstone, the fumes of which have the property ofhleaching or clearing the colour of many vege table substances ; in fact, these fames - become a mineral acid by union with the oxygen of the air, and passing slowly through the heap of seeds over the fire, they change their colour gra dually to a bright yellow. This process is applicable alike to white clover anu trefoil seeds ; but the red clover must undergo another process afterwards, which we believe consists of chaf ingit in bags With a little indigo powder. This method of bleaching, in a slight degree, is used in the drying of hops, in which ive conceive it does no harm ; it gives them something of a golden colo - ,ir. From this the other practice is probably de rived, and it has lately been applied to oats. The seeds prac tised upon, if compared with others of fine quality, are, techni cally speaking, nitternT, but they do not sir I NE, nor feel slip pery. This is the case with the trefoil ; the colour is some what paler than the firmest natural quality, • but the seeds are rough to the touch, and dull to the-eye. It is the same with the white clover ; and oats has the like - rigidity in hand. PLOUGHING.--A fanner expresses his surprise that many agriculturists upon light hilly Soils, should plough their lands as if they word wet—namely, up and down the hills ; whereas, by Ploughing across them, all the rain would be stopped by the ridf es, instead of running to the bottom, and frequently carry ing the seed, soil, and manure with, it. Ile has proved the su periority of the plan from experience. Ile also mentions, that sonic years ago he set broad beans between the rows of a prin cipal part of a crop of potatoes, which not only sheltered them, but conducted the dews to their roots, .and both produced ex cellent crops ; but hi a small part which was not set with beans, the potatoes were scorched up,'and scarcely, worth digging.

J. llaine, Esq. ' Mr. BgNNET said, it was with :considerable re luctance he' pressed himself upon the attention of the House, but he should conceive himself un worthy to sit in it if he did not notice a para graph which appeared last Sunday in a News-. paper called JolzU Bull. it would be in the re collection of the House, that on Friday last he disclaimed the accuracy of a report of speech which had appeared in some of the Public Prints on a former debate, wherein mention was made of the Office of Lord President of Scotland. On being informed that an erroneous report of what he had stated had gone abroad, he, in common courtesy, corrected the mistake the moment he heard that the inaccuracy of the Newspapers in this respect had occasioned some pain to the feel ings of an individual. In Saturday's Courier, an Advertisement appeared, and as it was a sub stantial, though not a literal report of his expla nation, he did not complain of it. Ile now came to the paper in question, John Bull. This Paper contained a paragraph, headed " The Lord Pre sident, and Mr. 11. Grey Bennet ;" and after copying the Advertisement from the Courier of Friday, made the following remark :—" The truth of the above matter is this. The Lord President has a son, a Gentleman of high honour and courage, who, hearing that his father had been reflected upon: in a speech of Mr. Bennett, put himself into the Edinburgh mail and came up to . London. On his arrival, he, through Mr. M'Konzie, sent message to Mr. Bennet, and was by him referred to that general voucher for the whole party, Sir It. I; . 'ergusson.—(A laugh.)—The result was, as usual, an apology, which, according to a previous, agreement, was made by Mr. Bennet in his place in the House on Friday last ; but in so low a tone of voice, that had it not been for the kind ness of 7 1 / 2 e Courier the public would not have known it, as Mr. B. was inaudible in the gal lery."—This paragraph charged a Member of the House with having uttered an untruth ; and• with having compromised his honour to save him self from respricsibility. The whole passage indeed was most offensive, .and. if lie were capable of acting in the way imputed to him, he would 'be unworthy not only of a seat in that - House, but of the society of Gentlemen. It was not his wish to wage war against this Paper, but he wanted to find out the Author of the paragraph. --(Hear, hear !)—lie wanted to find out who was at the bottom of the paper.--(Cheers.)-11.0 never had any wish to withdraw himself from the correction of the press. It kept that House under controul, and 'preserved the standard of high honour among its Members. Oar follies PRICE SEVENPENCE and their crimes were exposed by the pres and. God forbid he .hould regret it was so. But there could be. no greater abuse of the press, than to charge a Member of that House with having compromised his houour. At present he shohld ,move that the Paper in question' do lie ort the table, and that the paragraph he hatFalktded to should be read. b y Ole Clerk.—This was done accordingly. • Mr. BIN - NET then moved, that the said para graph should be declared a false and scandalous libel, and a breach of the privileges of that House. Mr. MACKENiTE said, that as his name had been alluded to, he thought it his duty to rise, not indeed to corroborate the statement of the lion. Member, for nothinz front him could ever re-: quire corroboration, bet to declare that the para graph was in every resp'ct false and malicious.-- (hear, hear Men - Ayer -for Shrews bury had never made any apology, because he had tiever said any thing which required an apo logy., Certain word's used by that Hon. Member had been inaccurately reported, and the moment the Hon. Member heard that that itiaccuttaCy had given pain to the feelings of an individual, he, in the most liberal. and handsome manner, corrected the error. 7 —(Hear, hear !)—Nothing throughout could possibly be more deserving of praise than the conduct of the Hon. Member, and the para graph altogether was false, wicked, and mali cious. —(Cheers.) The Marquess. of LONDONDERRY said, there could be no doubt the paragraph was a gross libel. It gave an explanation the character Of an apology. 'lie therefore thought the matter highly fit .for the consideration of the llouse. The Motion was then carried unanimously, and 111.7 N. Wearer, the printer of the paper, - as ordered' to attend at the Bar' to-morrow. THE SEDITIOUS MEETINGS BILL. Mr. 'LENNARD rose, pursuant Co his notice, to move for the, repeal of. the. Act of the 60th - of. Geo. HI. relative to . Seditious Meetings,: &C.— The-Hon. Member entered into a review of the character of this measure, and the circumstances under which it was passed. It was a measure adopted by Government, and by the' House, during a period of alarm and domestic agitation ; which, thank .God ! no longer existed in this country. And whatever , might have been the necessity which called for the enactment•of mea sures So destructive of our liberties and the spirit of- the Constitution, that necessity no longer 're mained; and these' Acts ought to expire. The dearest rights of Englishmen were destroyed by the operation' of this Law. _ Public Meetings were interfered with, and the only constitutional mode which the people had of expressing -their opinions on the conduct of their 'Representatives -.was-taken away. if these Bills were 'to lie con-_ tinued in operation, he was convinced much of the energy and force of the country would be destroyed, and the spirit of the • people done away. By. the measure then adopted, the free dom of the Press, the best guardian - of the peo ple's liberties, was done away, and every pos sible faility. was given -to the establishment of arbitrary power. The people were now quiet and tranquil ; ,no one would venture.to deny that position, and the occasion on which this attainder of the• people's rights had been founded, having pasted away, he trusted the attainderiwould be reversed. Ile might be told that these Bills - would expire in a few years, if the conduct of the .people should appear to deserie it ; 'but he could not consent to have the restoration of our liberties deferred for a moment. It was now near two years since . a new.and arbitrary !node of punishment for political libel had been intro duced into our code butsuch-had been the effect produced on the spirit of the people, such the apathy caused by this suspension of public liberty, that not a single remonstrance had been made on. 'the subject. The people had ceased to regard. the House as their Constitutional Guardians,, and. paid no attention to their proceedings. The second Act to which he had alluded, the - Libel Act, .introduced a most severe and arbitrary punishment for a Libel, which neither Judges nor Lawyers could define correctly. He would not trouble the House with any remarks - •dir the • Law of Libel. But he saw nothing to negative the proposition, that Judges in time future, might be as cruel as in times past, and what an instru ment did such an Act put into the hands of: such Judges Suppose an Hon. Baronet (Sir F. dett), might by a legal finesse be tried for pub lishing a libel on Ministers, he should tremble for the result; especially considering the conduct that some Judges had adopted. It might be said, there had been no restrictions on the press ; but if so, that had arisen from the independence 'of Juries:. He would say, that the expression' of .public opinion Lad been less free since the publi-; cation of these Acts. Though no inconvenience might have arisen from the Acts hitherto, it did not follow that the case would be the same in the time to come. If to meet, was the right of the people, in proportion as that right was circuin scribed, their liberty was diminished. He was aware he had been but a feeble advocate of a good cause ; and it mi g ht a l so h e - th o U g ht th a t the time had not been judiciously chosen. But the earlier the resistance, it 'was the better ;- and. should he fail now, he should bring it regularly before the House till the subject should fall into abler hands., If the affairs of the country should. he deemed by any to be better managed under system of coercion, he was not one of those.- , --- The lion. Member concluded by moving -.for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the 60th George c. 6, - forfiliej more effectual prevention of Seditious Meetings. • Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW, notwithstanding_ She
