On the removal of the eath, and the ineoming of
dessert,
The CHAIRMAN gave the usual loyal toasts, referring
to the loss which her Majesty bad sustained by the
death of Lord Palmertton the important position which
the Prince of Wales woUld be probably celled upon to
fill in the country, and expressing a hope that he would
follow in the reps of his lamented father. Probably
John Bull, if asked hie views of the Royal family, would
be inclined to say, "Yes, air, there is a large family
forms to keep," but he (chairman) believed John Bull
did not mind that, seeing they were &peace/shit, family,
and set so noble a pattern to other royal families.
(Loud cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN next gave "The Army and Navy."
He alluded in humorous term to an episode in connec-
tion with the first formation of the yeomanry fore* in
1831, when the troop he belonged to were sent to guard
Stock House, and found on their arrival that another
troop, which preeeeded them, had not only eaten up all
the provision, but had actually destroyed the proprie.
tor's pump. (Loyd laughter.) As to the Voltinteere he
considered they deserved more attention and support
on the part of the Government. They spent a great
deal of valuable time in order to make themselves pro-
Went, and ought to be encouraged. (Cheers.) He
coupled with the toast 'he names of Sergeant Davis and
Sergeant Taker of the yeomanry and Sergeant Green
of the volunteers.
Sergeant G. Davin, 'in returning thanks, said be had
been connected with the Yeomanry 28 year., and had
spent many happy clays during that time with his com-
rades. Ile had served under three captains and three
'tetanal& Nothing was snore regretted by the troop
than when their excellent chairman saw It to resign.
Having been so many yearn in the force, he was anxious
to see more young men--emes of those around him.
Ile was one they would never regret taking such a
Mop: (Applause.)
' The other two volunteers also responded.
'lke Onatenarr next proposed 'The Bishop and
Clergy of all demeninations," by which he meant only
those who preached the Gospel They knew as well as
he did that there were many who pieached false
doctrines, and introduced foolish And absurd ceremonies
into the services of the Cherub. He did not ask them
to drink their health& They would, he trusted, exeunt
him for alluding to such matters, but, as a public man,
he could not refrain (rum doing so. (Hear, hear.)
"The health, of the LordLientenant and Magistrates"
were then proposed by the Cittiewan. Of the Lord-
Lieutenant it was impossible for him to speak in the
adequate terms. His worth was known to them all.
As regarded the magistrates, though Lie believed they
administered the laws to the best of their ability, yet be
considered every case should be treated according to its
merits. They often saw a man for kicking over a rabbit
was more aevelelyinuished than he who committed a
greeter offence. e would rot then enter into the
question of the preservation of game; but, in asking
them to drink the health of the Lord-Lieutenant, he
might my that th&t nobleman, after the fins fortnight
of the thositing swoon, gave his tenants an unlimited
right to shoot over their fermi. (Loud cheers.)
The next toast was "The health of the County
Members," in proposing which the CHAIRMAN referred
to the title given to them by Mr. Whieldon at the Stur-
minster Agriculaual Meeting last year, es' the Hnittorn
Team;" and suggested if they meld persuade Mr.
Floyer to become a Liberal he should take the lead, that
• strong curb should be placed on Mr. Start, who might
then work well with Mr. Portman, whom be did not
consider a eery advanced Liberal (Cheers and laughter.)
The toast bathe been duly bewared,
The CHAIRMAN gave the toast of the evening—
" Semen to the Illandford Fanners' Club," Their club
was first started in the year 1848, and had gene on with
various degrees of success to the present time. During
the past year they had had six discussion meetings, and
he must say he never rose from those discussions with.
out receiving some benefit from his fellow-man. At first
melt meetings were looked upon with ridicule, and some
degree of suspicion, but they had lived long enough to
get over this, He emmidmed that, if a man had greater
ability and possessed a better knowledge of a subjeet
than his fellow-men, it wee his bounden duty to impart
that knowledge. (Cheers.) The Blandford Farmers'
Club was started by their old and este:el:sled friend, Mr.
John Ford—(iend cheers)--whom he should hale liked
to have seen there, but they could hardly' uproot it, es
they were in companion to him mere boys. There was
one question to which he could not but allude, and that
was the repeal of the Malt-tax. They were part and
pared of the National Anti-Mali Tax Association,
(Hear, hear, arid cheers') He was a strong advocate, as
many presenti knew, of the repeal of the Malt-lax. As
he had given two lectures on the question, be would not
enter inte any remarks of his own on the subject, but
would, with their permission, read two or three ellraelli
from Mr. Everett's lectures. The first was the opinion
expressed by Mr. Villiers during the Corn Law Repeal
debater—" Weald the landed interest be willing the
Malt-tax were taken off to relieve the country from the
tax on the corn 7 for of this he was sure that all those
who were injured by the operation of the corn laws
would be willing, nay, be anxious, to get rid of the
lialt-tax. By aomding to these terms the prodnee
of the Meltstax would be lost ter the revenue no doubt,
but if eg millions is a small rum tampered with what
might be reined through the medium of taxation if the
Georg of the country were allowed its full and natural

for it, the diminished demand caused • smaller quantity
of barley to be eultivated, and the lessened price of
barley was tt tel upon the barley.land. If the Core
Laws were repealed net a single year would ilale
before the Malt-tax would also be repealed." r!
Cobden in a letter addressed to the Chairman of the
Farmer's Club at Wakefield, dated February, 1846,
writes—"lt ham often occurred to me to compare the
