The application of chemical tests in such cases, therefore, must be obvious ; for it is evi dent the soil must contain some noxious principle, which may be easily discovered, and in all probability as easily destroyed. For example : are any of the salts of iron present?—they may be decomposed by lime. Is there an excess'ofsilicious sand ?—the system of improvement must depend upon the application of clay and calcareous mat ter. Is there a defect of calcareous matter?—the remedy is obvious. Is there an excess of vegetable matter in dicated ?—it may be removed by liming, paring, and burning. Is there, on the other hand, a deficiency of vegetable matter ?—it is t.) be supplied by • manure.— (hlear, hoar.) Again--a question often arises concern ing the qualities of different kinds of limestone employed in cultivation. To determine this question fully and accurately, in the common way of experience, would demand a considerable time, perhaps some years, and trials which might be injurious to crops ; but, by the simple chemical tests, the nature of a limestone is dis covered in a few moments, and the fitness of its appli cation, whether as a manure for different soils, or as a cement, determined.—(Hear, hear.) Another example— peat earth, of a certain consistence and composition, is an excellent manure ; but there are some verities of peats which contain so large a quantity of ferruginous matter, as to be absolutely poisonous to plants. Nothing can he more simple, we are told, than the chemical operation for determining the nature and probable uses of these and other substances of their kind. Now, gentlemen,' these, and numberless other instances—as cited by Sir Humphrey Davy, Liebig, Johnston, and other great chemists—might be adduced to prove the desirability of combining science with the practice of agriculture ; but I am sure you are too fully convinced of the truth of the proposition, to render any further details on this head necessary.—(Hear,! hear.) But, gentlemen, great as the advantages to be derived from the application of science to the art of farming may be, high and important as the principles which it devo lopes undoubtedly are, unless !preceded by other con siderations, w hi c h , i n my op i n i on , are of paramount importance, they must, to you, as tenant farmers, he comparatively useless. And here, gentlemen, I ap proach a branch of my subject, upon which I am anxious to offer a few observations, and to which I respectfully solicit your indulgent attention. But, first of all, allow me to state what I conceive to be the object and design of farmers' clubs. I look upon farmers' clubs as esta blished, not only to discuss and promote the improve ments which are more immediately connected with the pr , ctical cultivation of the soil, but also as afford ing to the tenant-farmers an opportunity to discuss, and so lay the foundation for removing, the obstacles which cripple their energies and prevent them from deriving that flit- proportion of advantage from the prosecution of their trade, which they have a full and perfect right to expect.—(Cheers). I am aware that in most of the farmers' clubs which have been established is different parts of the country, great anxiety has been evinced by certain parties to exclude the discussion of what they call (and I believe them), " obnoxious subjects"--such as rents, leases, and game.—(Loud cheers.) But some how or other, in almost every club of whose proceedings I hese seen any account, these " obnoxious subjects" have crept in, in spite of all the shifts and manoeuvres which have been resorted to to keep them out.—(Con tineed eh esrs and laughter). And, gentlemen, I think net'er- ly r ohr 'bit these things should be discussed.— (Renewed cheers). There are times when farmers must speek out, not only about guano and drilling, but about land agents, land valuers, and game preservers— (Loud cheers)—and indeed it would be no compliment to a landlerd to suppose that he would wish you to keep silence upon those topics which affect the privileges and just rights.ot your occupation, acd more especially upon those grievances which it may be in his power to alleviate or retetove.—(Vociferous cheering.) For if it be desirable tp diectiss the expediency of the introduction of a new " drag 's'-up'en the land, surely it is equally desirable to discuss the propriety of taking an old one off it—(Cheers and laughter)—and one too which is much more obnoxious than even the new one is beneficial.— enteetal into e , 4 , see. a quarter, as long as th=e prier ~ • • !, parties, both Scotch and Enehsh. e i e —ie. seine footing, paying 255. an acre rent. But let us suppose that wheat falls to 405., how will matters be then ? Why, the English farmer will continue to pay 255. an acre, whilst the Scotch farmer pays 205.—a difference, be it observed, of 50L upon the 200 acres, or of 255. an acre on the 40 acres growing wheat !—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Ten shilling a quarter is, however, by no means the limit of the fluctuation to which the farmer is liable. In 1835 the average price of wheat for the whole year was under 40s. a quarter. At that time the tenantry of England hell their farms at a rent calculated upon the under standing that wheat was to sell for 60s. at least, which price it was believed the Act of 1828 would secure. We all know the distress which then overtook the English farmers, as proved before the Committee of 1836. But we also know that the Scotch farmers, paying corn rents, who were examined before that Committee, gave a very different aecount of their condition ; and one of the most intelligent farmers in the county of Haddington shire has since stated that he cleared more money from his farm in 1835 than in any year since. —(Hear, hear.) And the difference in the state of things in England and Scotland was caused by the difference in the terms of renting, for whilst the Scotch farmer paid 4001. to his landlord, the Englishman paid 6001. In fact the English farmer is now paying three times as much rent for his land as his grandfather paid about seventy years ago, whilst his wheat is actually selling under the price of that period.—(Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, these are facts which demand very serious reflection at your hands, and I think these farmers' clubs may be made very useful instruments in leading to a right understanding both upon these and various other topics in which your in terests are concerned. You begin to talk them over amongst yourselves, and having talked together, you will soon learn to act together. For, depend upon it, the want of unity of purpose and of action has been one great cause why the present vicious system under which you are suffering has continued so long.—(Loud cheers.) I had intended to say a word or two about game—(Hear, hear)—but I have already trespassed so long on your indulgence upon other topics that I must pass on.— (Cries of "Go on !") I have now done with agricul ture; my toast, however, goes somewhat farther, and embraces " Manufactures and Commerce." And, gen tlemen, I think I can by way of conclusion very briefly chow cause why these two branches of our national in dustry are as much entitled to your good wishes as your own occupation of agriculture. For, gentlemen, great as your predilections and respect for the pursuits of agri culture may be—honourable, invigorating, and benevo lent as its principles are, dating from the very birth of time, growing with every growth of civilisation, and ad vancing with the advance of light and knowledge—in dispensable as are its aids to the public welfat e and the national greatness, I very much question whether you could conveniently dispense with the other ingredients of my toast.—(Hear, hear.) We are no longer able to become a nation of shepherds if we would. Manu factures and commerce have materially assisted in fixing our high position with' the nations of the world, and so much so, that although, as was observed by an eloquent statesman, " the pipe has always been recognised as the pastoral instrument, we must rely on manufactures and commerce to help us to pay the piper."—(Cheers, and laughter.) Agriculture furnishes able and vigorous hands, but we must also rely upon commerce and manufaettires for some of the open and capacious mouths.--((heers and laughter.) And, gentlemen, the more we look into every employment and every interest that eagaeres the various classes of man tile more we 'shall find that we stand in need of earl: ocher.—(Hear, hear.) Moreover, although I may be es ready as any man to cry " Speed the plough," I must recollect that ploughs to be used must be manufac tured, and though we read in ancient story books of the dragon's teeth growing up into a crop of armed men, I doubt whether any of the most sanguine competitors in drill or broadcast, could succeed in turning up a plough ready made.—(Cheers and laughter.) Gentlemen, I might pursue this subject, but I think that the few ob servations I have already made on this branch of my toast will be sufficient to establish the claims of com merce and manufactures to be allied with agriculture.— (Hear, hear.) They are the leading branches of in dustry, and when you reflect besides all else what com merce does to develope the resources and augment the welfare of the country—how much it does to unite the scattered branches of the human family—to unite nation and nation—clime and clime—man and man in one cemented bond— to soften the asperities of international jealousies—and to calm the savage tendencies to strife and to murderous war—l think you will agree with me that commerce ought to be associated in the same goodly fellowship—and therefore it is with confidence and plea sure that I now call upon you to drink—" Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce."—(Mr. Brotherton re sumed his seat amidst reiterated plaudits.) Mr. BINNS (of Tupton Hall) was called upon to re spond to the toast. He regretted that it was not in his power to give expression to his thoughts with the same fluency and eloquence Mr. Brotherton had displayed in proposing the toast, to which he had been unexpectedly called upon to respond. If he bad the power of expressing, with equal felicity, his own thoughts upon the subjects of agriculture, manufactures, and commerce, they would be a complete reiteration of Mr. Brotherton's speech.— (Cheers.) Though a small farmer himself, his principal pursuit was commerce, and his experience had taught him how intimately connected were the real interests of agriculture and commerce.—(Hear, hear.) See how they mutually assisted each other. If the firm with which he was connected were deprived of the support which the operations of agriculture afforded them, they must cease to produce. The firm were indebted to the agriculturists for the consumption of something like 40,030 tons of lime per year; and on the other hand, the farmers of the district were equally indebted to them, for the firm paid in wages alone about 40,0001. annually, a great proportion of which was expended in the agricultural produce of this district.--(Cheers.) It was impossible, with any degree of common sense or notion of right, to separate the two interests. Mr Brotherton had alluded to the land agents, against whom a heavy score was laid. Now he thought that class of people were rather too roundly rated, and that more was fathered upon them than they were justly en titled to bear.—(Laughter.) Let them look at the matter fairly. A land agent goes to the landlord, and says " My Lord," or " Sir"—as the case may be—" the times are bad, and it is impossible that I can collect the full amount of rent ; you must make some allowance." " Oh," says the landlord, " I can't hear of such a thing; I have been giving fetes and balls in London—(Loud laughter and cheers)—•l have spent 100,0001., and must have money to pay my debts."—(Hear, hear.) In such a case what was the poor agent to do ? How could he help himself; when he received imperial commands like these ? Let them not be too hard upon the agents. Believe him, they had plenty to bear, and more than was at all times either convenient or comfortable.—(Hear, hear.) He perfectly agreed with Mr. Brotherton's re marks upon the subject of tenure. In his opinion it was impossible for the farmer, however industrious he may be, to ertrry on his operations either satisfactorily or prof - 411)1y. without a fair and reasonable assistance from 11:; lanellerd.—(Much cheering.) A man takes a farm ; his !andl , nrd for the time being may be a reasonable one, and the tenant has an inward conviction that he will not be displaced, so leng as he pays the rent ; but then, pro bably, he has to look forward to the coming of a future heir to the estate, who may, from caprice, or a variety of motives, blight the prospects of the tenant at a breath, and drive him at a short notice from the farm.—(Cries of" Hear, hear.") The industry of years is, as it were, lost to him; he receives no compensation worth the name for the hardship he endures ; and can obtain no sufficient reason for the visitation brought upon him.—(Hear, hear.) Was that state of things desirable, or conducive to the promotion of the best interests of agriculture ? (" Not") He had no hesitation in saying that 9-10ths of the landlords in this country were not aware of the state of their tenantry. He (Mr. Binns) had been en gaged all his life with landowners; he was, however, free from them now, and right glad he was to be so. —(Much cheering and laughter.) He wanted the saddle to be placed on the right horse. He knew that the land agent had an onerous duty to perform, and it was quite impossible that the agent could at all times conduct mat ters to the satisfaction of both holder and occupier, un less the former condescended to mix more with, and to understand the position and requirements of, the latter.— (Cheers.) Unless a tenant has a certain fixed tenure on the land, he is a fool to expend his money upon it.— (Loud cheers.) By proper cultivation, and a mutual good understanding between landlord and tenants, Eng land ought to become an exporting instead of an import ing country,—(Hear, hear.) There was plenty of land— all that was wanted was cultivation, and a judicious ap plication of capital. It was an old axiom that the coal measures would not grow good corn. So far from this being correct, the coal measures were better adapted for growing corn than any other geological strata in this country except the igneous rocks of the Lothians of Scotland, against which the coal measures could not compete, though they ranked second. After dwelling upon these and other points some little time longer, Mr. Binns concluded by thanking the meeting for the patient attention they bad given him, and sat down amidst loud applause. The SECRETARY (Mr. F. Brown) here read the report of the Committee for the past year, which gave a favour able account of the proceedings of the club. The Rev. S. REVEL moved the adoption of the report, and made a few appropriate observations on the subject. Mr. LINCARD proposed " The Committee, and thanks to them for their valuable services."—(Applause.) ehalf of Mr. HOLLAND (of Grassmore) respondeide d attention o? b 1 himself and colleagues, and, in doing so, a to experiments made by the Committee as to the relative value of different manures. The results (as far as the season would allow) were satisfactory. The farmers ought to use every effort to :e rn improve their condition, corn and cattle.— considering the diminished pre f (Hear, hear.) If landlords would come forward when tenants were in difficulties, and say " We will meet your case by reducing the rent "—(Loud cheers)—their strug gles would meet with some alleviation. But such was not the oilse. i n stead of meeting them W ith sympathy, (Renewed cheers.) If it be desirable to introduce a new presser on the land, is it not equally so to remove those older pressers which operate upon the farmers' pockets rather than on his land ?—(Cheers renewed.) Well then, gentlemen, the first of those obstacles to improve ment upon which I shall offer an observation, is the te nure of land—(Hear, hear)—and upon this subject, viz., the relation between landlord and tenant, I will quote the opinion of one who is much better entitled to your consideration than any unsupported opinion of mine on such a subject could possibly be—l mean Mr. Low, the Professor of Agriculture in the University of Edinburgh, who, in a work just published, " On Landed Property and the Economy of Estates," (a work I would strongly recommend to the notice of the club), says— " Not even the accumulation of capital, to the degree of stocking the farms of the country, will avail for giving to agriculture the means of successful cultivation and improvement. The owner of this capital must have the means of employing it with advantage, by security of possession, by the privileges required for the proper management of his business, and by that fair and lenient exaction upon his industry, which will enable him to seem e thinkAn dyet that there if tenant-farmers are n ot a employ his capit a l w i t h a profit. " Now, gentlemen, i s not this perfectly true ?—(Hear, har nd y o wt heir n ner w e s r h t o ) t s can and just rub along, they have no right to expect more.— (lkar, hear.) Tell a landlord—of course there are ex ceptions, but the exceptions prove the rule—that any particular tenant is making a profit, and he will imme diately think, and not unfrequently act upon the thought, that the farm has been let for too little rent.—(Hear, hear.) Now let us see what has been the effect of these notions amongst the landowners of England. Upon this point Mr. Low says : "In the finest parts of England funds have been pro gressively accumulating for stocking the farms to a degree unknown in any other country in Europe ; but the essential conditions having been too often wanting, of security of possession, and a beneficial connexion be tween the landlord and the tenants, agriculture has re mained comparatively fixed, while every other branch of industry has been advancing." —(Hear, hear.) Compare this stationary state of agri culture with the onward progress of other branches of British industry. Mr. Low says : " The manufacturer of cotton, of wool, of iron, has the assurance that the machine which he constructs and improves for the purposes of his trade is his own, and that the more perfect he can render it the more profit able will the use of it become to him. The farmer who lays out capital on the great machine on which his all depends—the earth which he tills—has often no such as surance. It is the property of another, who in the end will profit by all the improvements which the skill of a tempo rary possessor can make upon it. The uytnufacturer re ceive directly, the profit of his stock in trade; the farmer must share those profits with another, who undergoes no parr the labour and risk ; his industry is fettered by eteidi• ions imposed upon no other elses of traders ; and the i con.'enr , tices of oh , aining returns for a present expliditure more slowly than in any other profession are frequently aggravated by the uncertainty whether he will ever have the power of recovering the capital advanced." —(Hear.) Now, gentlemen, we hear a great deal about " mutual confidence," " tenures," " tenant rights," and so forth. Listen again to Mr. Low : " The only fitting security for a man who has capital to employ in the cultivation and improvement of land is a written covenant, subsisting for a definite and adequate period. Tenancy at will, it must be apparent, so much extended over the richest parts of England, is in no de gree an adequate substitute for the lease, ensuring to the tenant his right of possession for a determined period. Habit, indeed, may reconcile the tenantry of a country to such a species of tenure, and a kind of confidence may arise that a tenant will not be capriciously dispos sessed, nor an unfair advantage taken of his expendi ture ; but this confidence, however great, is not to be compared, as the means of inducing men to spend capi tal on land, with that sense of security and indepen dence which is the soul of industry and exertion. It is impossible to divest the tenant-at-will of the knowledge that every improvement which he makes upon his farm gives it a higher value to another, and adds to the means of raising the rent against himself." —(Hear.) Now, gentlemen, who can doubt the truth or the justice of these remarks ? And I beg of you to give them your serious attention. We now come to the subject of rents ; and upon this point the Professor ob serves : _ _ " The tenant who takes land, and the landlo r d w h o lets it, should so adjust the rent, that the tenant s h a ll b e p ab ri l n e es to a b r e i a si r ng th f e ro p m ress fa u v re nur o a f b d in efi n c n ie n n a t ; carndops, or of low no prudent man ought to contract for rent which will not allow him to meet that contingency of his trade which arises from a fluctuation in the amount and prices of his commodi ties. . . . The landlord who would secure a prospe rous tenantry, and improve his estate, must not trust to his per centage or bounty on an audit day, but must place his tenants in the condition which will enable them to fulfil the obligations under which they engage in virtue of a fair and well-considered covenant." —(Loud cheers.) N ow , gentlemen, these remarks have evident reference to corn rents, and upon this subject just allow me to state the relative positions in which English and Scottish farmers are placed to each other; the Englishman paying a fixed money rent, the Scotch man, a corn rent. 'We shall take a farmer at 200 acres at 255. an acre, money price, which, farmed upon the five course system, will, I suppose, have about 40 acres of wheat in each year. Adopting the general notion that wheat must pay the rent, then it will require at least two-thirds of the wheat crop upon the forty acres to satisfy the landlord for the rent of the whole farm. Let us now sec how a corn rent will bear upon landlords and tenants. The English landlord asks, as I have be fore supposed, 255. an acre for his 200 acres, and the English tenant accepts the offer. The Scotch farmer, on the ether hand, bargains with his landlord to give hint four bushels of wheat, or half a quarter of an acre. Now, supposing that these bargains are 171(414 "fre i'd 'AnTt gthtt NigA; Inuring a TOWN mul C'OTINTIiII CIRCULATION, fat ONE AWFUL SHIPWRECK. (From the Carnarvon Herald.) LOSS OF THE WILLIAM TURNER, OF BEL FAST, AND LOSS OF LIFE. On the morning of Saturday last intelligence reached Carnarvon, that a large ship had, on the pre vious night, during the awful gale that was then raging, gone to pieces in the bay. Immediately upon receiving the information, J. Hughes, Esq., Comp troller of Customs, and the officers under him, manned the Queen's boat and proceeded to the spot, when, we regret to say, they found the report to be too true. Pieces of the wreck were strewn along the beach for miles, the entire shore between Abermenai and Lland dwyn exhibiting tokens of the disaster, amongst which were spars, stores,seamen's chests, and numblerless frag ments of furniture and materials. There was also seen a large long-boat, keel up, which when turned over was found to have in it another boat or pinnace, but there was no name on either. There were also on the shore the larboard and starboard quarters of the ship, with quarter galleries, chains, and lanyards, appa rently cut with an axe. Nothing else material has been picked up, except a cat-head and thefigure head ; but every exertion, we learn, is being made by Mr. Edwards, postmaster, to save everything be longing to the ill-fated vessel as it reaches the shore. It is scarcely possible for a wreck to be more fatally complete. From the name on the medicine chest and other sources we learn that the vessel was called the William Turner, belonging to Belfast, 488 tons register, Geo. Evans, master, and that she was homeward bound from Ichaboe to Liverpool, with a cargo of guano,which is entirely lost, not a vestige of it remaining. It is our painful duty to add that not one creature escaped alive. What may have been the number of human beings who perished on this occasion we have no means of knowing, and it will probably be some time before the truth will be accurately ascertained. The crew would most probably amount to from sixteen to twenty in dividuals, including the master ; and there might have been passengers, as well as the complement of hands belonging to the ship. One of the bodies, a lad about fifteen years of age, dressed in sailors' clothes, and deeply pitted with the small-pox, was washed ashore on Monday, near Llanddwyn, and we shall, most likely, hear of the remainder in a few days. The keel, and part of the hull of the ship (visible from Lland dwyn) are on the spit of the South Bank, in about four to five feet of water, at the lowest ebb, which warrants the assumption that the vessel must have struck sometime about five or six o'clock on Friday evening. The wind at that time was from the south-west blowing a hard gale. The pilots at Llanddwyn, and the people at Lord Newborough's Fort, and at Abermenai, neither heard nor saw any thing until the following morning, which is remark able, for the weather was not very thick, neither was it dark at five o'clock on Friday, so that the ship might have been seen for miles, ere she struck on the bank. It is useless to form conjectures as to the cause of this disaster, and the course of the ship into the Bay. Whether the captain mistook Bardsey Light for the South Stack or the Skerries, and, there fore, steered accordingly, or whether the ship had previously become unmanageable, or had been swept down at anchors, is a matter which can never be ascertained. One thing is certain, that the gale on Friday night wa s no t f rom a q uarter which would Bay under disasters, and drive vessels into Carnarvon under ordinary circumstances, therefore some other reason must be assigned for the unfortunate and melancholy catastrophe. which vessel Scotland, uLAas. sailed from Ichaboe before the William Turner, a n d One of the c r r ij ew itT O ß f E t a he P E Aß li T za w arrived at Limerick on the 4 th , ca m e here on Wed nesday, by the Dolphin steamer , and states that the William Turner must have had about 30 people on board.

This revenue amounts to about 4,0001 per mile per annum, of which let us take 1,600/. for working expenses, and we have 2,400/. per mile per annum for dividend, in dicating a market value of 48,0001 per mile, at twenty years' purchase. The total sum available this half-year for interest and dividends will be about two millions, giving, for the value of all the important lines of the country, at twenty years' purchase, a sum of 80,000,000/. But as many of the lines are worth more than twenty years' purchase, and as many small lines are not in cluded in this estimate, while some are in course of construction and not open for traffic, it may be near the truth to say that at the commencement of 1845 we start with a national property in railways worth not less than one hundred millions.—Railway Chronicle.

The circular published by Mr. Greaves, of Liverpool, states that the total increase in the traffic of twenty-two railways for the six months just ended, compared with the corres- - ponding period of last year, has not been less than 321,4024 the only decrease being that of 180/ on the Glasgow and Greenock line.

BANK NOTE.--Tho following circumstance, we are told, has caused some sensation :—A young gentleman from the old-established banking-house of Sir John Lubbock and Co., was requested, in the course of his out-door duties some few days ago, to make a payment of 3001. at iAsle presumed,ssrs.Hre and C o .' s , i n Fl eet-street. In order, it to save time, he called there ex route west ward, and requested Messrs. Hoare's cashier to have the receipt for the money ready for him on his return, at the same time tendering, or rather, as it would appear from the sequel, intending or imagining that he had tendered the money. Upon calling shortly afterwards for the re ceipt, Messrs. lloare's clerk intimated that it was ready for him upon payment of the amount. Thus, while the youthful out-door representative of Sir J. Lubbock and Co. stoutly persisted that he had already paid the money, the other as positively denied the fact. Such was the unpleasant position of the matter, and it was ultimately deemed advisable to stop the payment of the note at the Bank of England, and to put forth an advertisement with the offer of " a handsome reward." After the lapse of two days, we are told, an out-door clerk from the West-end branch of the London Joint stock Bank presented himself at Messrs. Hoare and Co.'s, with the missing note, stating that he had picked it up be tween that house and Messrs. Child's. The restitution of the money, it may be said, is abundantly satisfactory. —Sunday Times. born in Aboy Pembrokeshire, Thomas as been ee Jones, this morning. llis skin is for the m P_ broughttiea d r part o c l O a° v u e yr r e e oa ci s W e i th s wort of the faculty, and elephant.

Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,0001. effected on the Ist of March, 1832, will, if it become a claim during the present year, be entitled to 1,2971.; or, ifeffected on or before the Ist March, 1533, to 1,2751., and so on as regards other Policies. The Accumulated Fund exceeds 260,0001., and the Annual Revenue is above 70,000/., the whole being In a course of steady and increas ing prosperity.

The only thing I have to add to my report of last year is, that I feel still more convinced, from practical experience, of the truth of Mr. Morison's Hygeian System of Medicine, and of the fallacy of the organic theory taught in the schools of medicine. I have, during the last ten years, treated gratuitously upwards of 5,001 poor per sons, labouring under all sorts of diseases, at the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary, solely with Morison's Pills, of the British College of Health, London, most of whom had been given up as incurable by the most eminent medical men of Exeter. To all persons desirous of investigating such cases, I shall be most happy to give them the names and addresses of the parties cured, tothether with the names and addresses of the medical men they were under. I beg to thank Lady Sophia Grey, and the other subscribers, for their annual sub scriptions.

WINGERWORTH FARMERS' CLUB (Abridged from the Derby Reporter.) FIRST ANNUAL MEETING. On Tuesday last the first anuual meeting of this flourishing Club was held at the house of Mr. Turner, Nag's Head, Wingerworth, near Chesterfield. At the appointed hour, a large party of members and friends sat down to a dinner comprising the usual delicacies of the season, and which was served up in a manner highly creditable to the host and hostess. The dessert and wines were also excellent. John Brown, Esq., Vice-President of the Society, occupied the chair; Mr. Samuel Denham the vice-chair, &c. _ _ After tl•e usual loyal toasts had been given, The CHAIRMAN having called for a bumper, rose to propose the toast of the evening—" Prosperity to the Wingerworth Farmers' Club." It had been said that farmers' clubs were designed more for the benefit of the landlord than the tenant. He (the chairman) disputed this. No doubt in this, as in every case where the tenant learned to cultivate the soil upon improved principles, the landlord would reap a proportion of the benefit; but by improved culture the tenant derived increased pro duce, and ampler returns.—(Hear.) Farmers' clubs afforded facilities to farmers which they could not obtain from any other source. By assembling together, and communicating the results of their respective experi ments, they diffused a knowledge of schemes beneficial to the farmer within the range of a very large circle, and induced, by their example, a very general adoption of systems of improved culture.—(Cheers.) Some farmers thought that it was a great disadvantage to them for the landlords to learn too much; but he (the Chairman) was certain, that the more landlord and tenant met together, and discussed questions affecting their mutual interests, the better would it be for both parties.—(Cheers.) The late Lord Leicester, one of the greatest practical agri culturists of the age, knew how to appreciate a good tenant, when a careless or an ignorant landlord could not. In the one case the tenant was placed in a right position ; in the other he was placed in a false one ; and let the active and enterprising farmer not suppose, there fore, that his interests could be permanently promoted, unless his landlord was capable of appreciating his worth, his intelligence and industry.—(Hear, hear). Having offered these few very imperfect remarks, he would sehmit the toast for their approval. merely adding., that lo ng as he remained in the neighbourhood, the Win gerworth Farmers' Club should re t,ive his cordial sup port:--(Cheers). Th , inaqt was drank with three times three, and " one cheer more." The CHAIRMAN next gave the health of "The Lord- Lieutenant of the County." (Drank with musical honours ar.d three times three). The CHAIRMAN, after passing a few complimentary re marks, which were loudly applauded, called upon Mr. James Brotherton to propose the next toast Mr. BROTIIERTON, on rising, was received with loud cheers. He said, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen—The toast I shall have the honour to propose, is one which I trust will meet with a cordial response from every indi vidual in this room. It commences with "Success to Agriculture." And, gentlemen, I know of no period in the history of this country, when that sentiment was more pregnant with meaning, or more suggestive of topics for calm and serious reflection, than the times in which we live.—(Hear, hear). For with the apprehen sion of supposed danger from without, and the existence of yet more formidable difficulties and hindrances within, it may well become a question of grave import to the farmers of England. how is the occupation in which they have embarked their capital, and by which they are striving to subsist, to be best maintained and its interests most permanently secured.—(Loud cheers.) With re gard to one branch of this question, viz., so far as it affects the mere practical cultivation of the soil, I am happy to say the difficulty is comparatively small. For in the improvements which have taken place during the last twenty years, and more especially during the last ten years, it must be obvious to every intelligent ob server, that au entirely new era has opened upon British agriculture. Science is now lending her powerful aid to combine sound theory with practice. New facts and principles are almost daily being developed, which worked out to their legitimate results, bid fair to secure to the agriculturists of England a position and a fame equal to any which has yet been enjoyed by those who are en gaged in the other branches of our national industry.— (Cheers.) Of the advantages of combining theory with practice in the cultivation of the land, few persons, now a days, will have the hardihood to dispute. But if proof were wanting, I know not that amongst a variety of ethers, I could select a more notable instance than that which is related of Lavoisoir, a celebrated French che mist. It is said that this intelligent individual (without a minute knowledge of the art of farming), by fol lowing an enlightened system, doubled in nine years the produce of his lands in grain, whilst he at the same time quintupled the number of his flocks.—(Cheers.) But, gentlemen, it would be impossible for me to give you even a faint outline of the numberless advantages which may be daily derived from the application of science to farming. Take one branch only. It is scarcely possible to enter upon any investigation in agriculture, without land d in b g e itu unproductive, n o cv or less and a e system method connected with the doctrines and .i l ee e s t t i t s e by ptm deed, necessarilytr the only s sure elucidations sderived f rom c h em i stry .
