they,' wa. mily one way of getting rid of that &'t- that
was paying the niouey. The ivieile list of ea, t
aninaliteil to £ll,OOO in round numbers, which tt as
about .C 5 per heail of the pupulatiou, and he shieold
divide that debt into two parts, alni•ipt usical—that
bo,roweil by the Lric.al Boarl, which he might call their
!!ealthy debt, because they had Made provision for ;aliig
it off iu a certain number of years, owl the .1:37,800 for
repaying which U,, ouch provision had beau male. There
was borrowed for making the Pile-pkr ro.:100; for the
Market-him.to £IO,OOO, for the Harbour £15,300 - er,nun
for the extinction of which no provi,ion bad I.esn made.
There it stood for as large an amount as when it was
first borrowed. There was wily one way to deal with it
—to apply to l'arliament for rondileralde powoni to
raise the money at a certain rate id inte rest, pay MT
the existing bondholders, aml afterwards pay off the debt
by instalments, or in what way can 1 e advised. This had
' been already no in many towns the
.matter hail been
' very easily managed, and they had pawl off the money
without difficulty. The town of Wigan lind borrrowed
at per cent, :mil be had learnt from the Town t"ouncil
that within three months of the issue of the prorricetue
they raised the whole sum required. In their prospixtus
they had rather exten,ive powers to purchase water-
works, and other powers. lie had seen advertisements
Irons anothet town for borrowing money at .1;3 per rent,,
and Middleborough he believed at .1:31 per cent. Other
towns are doing this, and they got their money without
any difficulty; and as we could offer very gool security,
we could borrow at considerably less than 5 per cent.
The interest use at the present tinie amounted per
annum to—The Pile-pier, .C 155 the Market-hou.ae, £5414);
the Harbour, .efis ; total, .13.84); the amount due every
year at £.5 per cent, to the bondholders. Supposing they
could borrow the money at a less rate of interest and pay
off the bondholders, we should then be able to pay the
further interest to a sinking fund every year. Supposing
only the receipts as at the present moment, by paying £4
per cent. we Omuta have something like .000 a year to
apply for redeennog the bonds. If they could accomplish
this they would be acting in a prudent way, awl putting
the (malice id this town in a much more proper position
than at the present The towns which had been borrow-
ing money wore spreading the re-payment over 80 or 80
years There were objections to this plan in many
people's minds, and one was that we should be saddling
oue fund and relieving another: • further objection was
that we should be giving too good a security to the bond-
holder* at the expense of the town. But he would
remind them that the money advanced for those purpoies
was advanced for the good of the town, for the public
improvement, and at the time it was advanced there was
every prospect of the interest being paid, and there was
for a time the fact that the revenues were sufficient to pay
the intertzt But—now—the l'ile-pier does not pay it.
interest, and the Market-house interest is live or six
years in arrears, and where the bondholders have been
lasers the ratepayers have been gainers; what has
diminished the receipts of the Pile-pier has enormously
hien:astral the revenues of the town. Considering that
the money hail been advanced in perfect good faith, &aid
fide, At the time, and as we have derived advantage trout
these things, and that the bondholders have been deprived
of their legitimate interest, he thought they shill see if
they could not contrive some means of relieving them, if
it could be done without injuring the town. They should
do all they could to extinguish the public debt, in over so
small a degren. The country had taken means for
extinguishing the whole of its debt, and he believed that
in the course of years the whole public debt of this
country would be extin,ruised ; but as to those countries
which, bateau of extinguishing their debt, haul increasod
it, we all know what a state they were reduced to.
Beiiiles that, we do not know what public loans we may
be called upon to am.; at any time we may he railed opal

Mr. Ds:stmt, having expressed his regret at the absence
of the Chairman, commenced his suldezt by saying that
there seemed little doubt that from time immemorial the
shorthorn breed of cattle existed as a local race along the
nch grating valleys of the Tees, in the counties of Durham
and Yorkshire. Noblemen and 'squires, with a thoroughly
English love of good stock, kept up the herds on their
estates with as much pride as their awn pedigrees. Mr.
Charles Coiling, of Ketton. Durham, a man of great
Judgment and sagacity, was the first to bring the breed
prominently into notice. He collected the hest specimens
together. and by careful selection and breeding reared •
herd of fine cattle, which arrived at maturity much
earlier than had previously been known. His brother,
Mr. Robert Coiling, was also an eminent breeder. and
followed in the same course. The origin of pedigree was
that the early breeders bred animals of great quality of
flesh, aptitude to feed and early maturity, and noted
which bred the best, and what they came from. Charles
Coiling astonished the country with the wonderful ox
which he bred, and which was taken about and exhibited:

The animal was thought so wonderful and an far exceeded

Oxford the animal dislocated its hip-joint, and was in
consequence killed. At ten yearn of ace the weizht of
this extraordinary animal was 34 cwt. This circumstance,

The breed is distinguished by its symmetrical proportions,
and by its great bulk on a comparatively small structure
the offal being very light, and the limbs small and fine.
The. head is expressive, being rather i woad Ilerol,ll the

topeiing gracefully Iwiw the °yea -to-The—ot7;
nostrils and tine flesh-coloured muzzle. The eyes are
bright, prominent, and of a particularly placil, w
expression, the whole onintenanco being remarkably
gentle. The horns (wl.ence comes the name) are usually
short, springing well froiu the heal, with a graceful coil
downwards, and of a creamy white or yellowish colour,
the ears being line, erect, ant hairy. The neck b,
moderately thick (eery muscular in the male), and at
straight and well into the slmuldees which, when viewed
in front, are wide, showing thickness through the heart,
the brein4 coming well forward, and the fore-legs 'binding
short and wide apart. The hack an g the higher-I,ml
aninuds is remarkably broad awl tilt, the ribs springing
well uut of. It, barrel-like, and with little soacp between

them and the hip bones, Which are soft and welt riveree
The hind-quarters are long and well ellod In, the tai,
being let souare on to them : the thighs meet low de'eu,
forming the full end deep te ist ; the udder not too lame,
but placed forwent, the teats being well formed fuel of •
wodnon else; and the hind legs standing short and
straight to the ground. The general appearance should
show even outlinea. The whole body is covered with long
soft hair, there frequently behig a fine undercoat, and
this hair is of the mist pluming variety of colour, from
the soft white to the full deep red. Occasionally the
lIIIIIiIIIIII is red and white, the white being found
principally en the forehead, underneath the belly,
and a few spots on the hind-quarters and legs;
often the body is white, with the neck and head
partially covered with roan; while, again, the entire
body is most beautifully variegated with a deep rich
, purple or plum coloured hue. On touching the points the
skin is found to be soft and wellow as If lying on • soft
cushion. In animals thin in condition • kind of inner
skin is felt, which is the quality or handling indicative of
these great fattening propensities for which the breed is
infamous. In the the last 30 years fashion has run high,
and then, has been a constant adherence on the part of
breeders to particular strains of blood, producing different
characteristics of the same breed. The value attached to
the best specimens of shorthorn rattle has of late years
become almost fabulous, but there is a little doubt that
this fashion, having had its day will disappear, like most
other things, and that the enorm he prices given for the
highly bred animals of fashionahle strains have reached
their zenith, and will never be made again. The high
prices obtained during the last IL years were chiefly owing
to the competition of the foreigner, and more particin
laity the Americans. At Lord Ducie's sale people were
amazed at the money they gave for the best cattle but
Brother Jonathan, asusual,proved to have had the best
of the bargain after all, for at the oaks which took place
at the New York Mills, Oneida County, New York state.
On September 10th, 1873, the prices far exceeded any ever
realised in this country. For example, Mr. P. Devise, of
Horton. Gloucestershire. rave 8.120 guineas foe a cow
named the Eighth Duchess of Geneva; the Earl of Bective
se 7,000 guineas for the Tenth Duchess of Geneva; Lord
glannnadwe mid 6,120 guineas for the First Duchess of
Oneida, and there were several others sold from 6,000 to
1,500 genies& One cow which cost 1.100 died on the
voyage home. They need not go many miles from that
place to see • small herd which for its size was unequalled
in success by any in the United Kingdom. (Hear, hear.)
They were, no doubt, aware that he alluded to the
Marnhull herd, and he felt certain they would way with
him that Mr. Kennard was a man of whom Dorsetahire
might be proud—(hear, hear)—and one who deserved the
thanks of every well wither of shorthorns. Years ago it
was the custom to walk the ordinary unimproved abort-
horn from the North to the South of England ; farmers
would meet the drivers on the road and buy the best
animals, and in this way many capital stocks were
established in the Midland and Southeno counties. Ile
thinight it was a matter of very great regret that they
never penetrated into Dorsetahire, am he wao of opinion
there was no county in &gland where there was greater
room for improveinent in the breed of cattle than in that
county. Take that neighbourhood, for example. The
sheep, OA a rule, were good; roma of the flocks very good
Indeed. Many of their friends, to improve their breed of
sheep, would pay large prices for good ewes, and for the
like purpose did not hesitate to pay handsomely for an
undesirably geed ram; but for the dairy they were
content with anything they could obtain at market price,
and in consequence they were apt to persuade themselves
that cross-bred cattle euited them the best. They bought
Irish cattle, often thereby Importing disease, into their
own and their neighbours farms, or picked up anything
they could at repository and other males. And 1101 for the
bull for the dairy, as Ling as he was unilisputably of fis• 1

ing dieparaging of Irish cattle, for he was well aware that
Ireland alsiunded in shorthorns of the greatest exeellems,
although there were ciely one or two fashionable herds.
All the rest were kept for the Moth of the farms; the
bulk were sold as calves, and a fair return made. These
herds, and the Scoth herds, also, astounded the ignorant.
They were kept in a natural way, aud they were all alike
—not out good here and there, but nearly all equally good,
