BLANDFORD FARMERS' CLUB.

MR. J. FORD, Jux., ON "ACCOMMODATION
FOR, AND ECONOMICAL WINTERING OF,

tiTUCK."

(From our Reporter ittraordinsrp.)
A discussion on the above subject by the members of
the ik.mituril Farmers' Club hasiug been 101100111C011 to I
taker yl.ce ual Saturday evening, the l2tir iiistant, at the
Crown Hotel, after an introducteiry paper by 11r. Ford, l
jun., our reporter was dispatched for the purpose isi I
04rui,xiong, thy proceedings, which it wax expected
would be of an unusually interestini character. The
le.iture, it vv.* btatc.l, would commence at six o'clock,
aud at that time our reporter presented himself ; but I
was informed that he would not be admitted into the I
Club itoorn. However, not wishing to return without
a report of the discussion, ho buccteded in securing tie
services of an extraordinary reporter, to whom we arc .
' indebted for the following brief, but spirited account of I
the proceedings.
Tire Chairuian, on rising to introduce the lecturer,
was received with vociferous cheers train all parts of
tile room. Ile said he was very glad to meld his fellow
members of the Farmers' Club once more. Hitherto
their meetings had been of the most instructive kind,
and they all knew that great benefit had been derived
from the discussieus which had taken pints in that
room. He 100 l no doubt the present meeting would
furor no exception, but would be equally beneficial. One
request lie had to make at *tatting. He remembered to
have read or heard—lie dot tot know exactly which it
was, but it was one or the other—of some shrewd indi.
citrus' who always asserted that in order to du things
well, the person doing them should be comfortable, and
he therefore suggested that before they curiumenced they
should set about making theunelves comfortable, and
lie believed the best way to do so would be to order up
at once a plentiful supply of piper, tobacco, and those
cumpoutils which, as some port had said—lie thought
it was either Kirke White, Ilfshapeare, Thomason, or
Watt—

SOME ONE TO LOVE ME.

When sweetly the moonbeams are shining,
And evening bells jocundly ring ;
When the birds with their nestlings are sleeping
. ••. .. • . • .

'llia the beautiful beauties of spnng
Who the violets their odours are throwing,
And green leaves be leek every tree;
Then's the time, if you've some one to love you,
To be happy as happy can be.
With your lover's loves, arms thrown around you,
flow ,weet would aim evening walk be ;
All I want im some one to love me,
To make We a summer to me :

A summer without love is dreadful,
'Ti'. loaded with licartaching pain;
The rose* may smile and birds warble,
But all then is empty mid vain !
The earth seems not then half SO gladsome,
All nature seems bowled with woo;
The songsteru have discordant voices,
The flowers no beauty can show.
But when some sweet angel surrounds me,
None then can more happier be ;
I want. ye 3. I want one to love mc,
To make life a summer to our.
No sisters have I, whose affection
Can shed their sweet smiles round my heart;
No parrots whose glad words of welcome'
Comm bid all my sorrows lepart.
I sigh, for those all have deputed ;
But bad I another to love,
'Twould Loutish my sighing for ever,
And I'd live, live alone for my dove.
Olt ! then with earth', beauties Around me,
How hallowedly blest would life be;
I long fore heart that can love me,
To make life a summer to me.

Howie was in progress, and would be finished ere next

THE WAR IN AMERICA.

Ftrcoio iv Oitio —ln passing through Ohio there
were indications among my fellow passengers of discon-
tent and apprehension—an idea that Government wan
going • little too far, and that Mr. Seward was some-
what too much of • Grand Vizier in his style of
conducting business. A propos of Mr. Seward, I may
observe that his acquiescence in certain unknown,
anonymous accusations in secret memorials against me,
and his hypothetical insinuation that I hare perverted
the hospitality I sin said to have received, to the
detriment, and have used it for the misrepreeentationof,
Republican institutions. are neither candid, nor
generoua, nor "hospitable; nor can they he well
reconciled with a epirit of justice, when it is conaitlered
that Mr. Seward declares he never read the letter com-
plained of, and therefore dial not know what it
contained, although he appears to have accepted as true
all the representations, whatever they have been, of
those who thought et to address memorials to hint
respecting my communications to you. Before I left
Washington I wrote to Mr. Seward to ask if any such
memorials had been received, and stated that I was
anxious to reply to them; but the reply from the State
Department was that Mr. Seward had not seen any such
documents an I referred to. With the matter itself I
must leave you to deal, merely remarking that I utterly
deny having abused any "hospitality" whatever. Mr.
Seward is surely the last 111111 in the world, or ought to
be, at all events, who would restrict freedom of apeech
on the part cd • foreigner, even though he may not be
more intelligent or respectable than tho other foreign-
' ers who had entered thu ranks of an army which,
according to Mr. Lincoln, contains the niateriala for
whole Cabinet., Ministers, and Generals wholesale in its
file. If lie had read the letter referred to he would
have been utterly astonished at the exceeding absurdity
of any charges based upon it of enmity to the United
States or their theories of government,—though I inay
bc permitted to say I don't like lettress de cachet or
arrest by telegram, anti then refusal of trial. Let the
members of an English club picture such • scene MA
this:—A body of men in plain clothes march up tho
stele, forbid any one to leave tie house, place guarda
in the hall, take the keys out of the doors, proceed to
tare up the floors, to disturb the cellars mid throw over
the coals—refuse to show any warrant to any of the
members, and merely state that they are looking for
concealed arms by authority of the Marshal, and then

warrant, or showing in dress, uniform, or badge that
they are really constables, or employed by any authority
whatever. And yet this is what took place at the
Maryland Club in Baltimore the day of my arrival—a
club of the most respectable sentkinen of the State—
without a word of excuse, explanation, or apology. It
in not perverting hospitality, nor is it hostility to
republican institutions, to condetun such acts as these.

SIIPIPRCTILD MOW= 1:1 BUTTEVANT.—A great deal
of intereat and excitement has for the pest few days
existed in the town of Buttevant, county of Cork, in
eonsequence of the inyiderious and suddendiaappesranoe
of Mr. Cornelius Coelan, a farmer in comfortable cir-
cumstances, residing in the neighboni hood of the town.
It appeared that on Saturday, Mr. Cog Man was at the
pigmiarket at Buttevant, whore lie isild a lot of pigs to
• dealer from Waterford, named Slattery, for which
be received • sum of £.-5. Some time after seven the
same evening he was seen going from the town towards
the Military Barracks on his way home, and wince then
he ha, not been heard of. nor has any trace of him been
discovered, and this sudden disappearance, with the
fact that he was known to have a large sum of money
about him. has led to • very strong auspicion that he
has bei n the victim of foul play. Two soldiers of the
87th Regiment, and three women of ill-fame are in
custody on suspicion of haying been in some way con-
cerned in his disappearance.
DIU/MIMI:MS ix DUBLlN.—Betweea Saturday night
and Sunday morning no ken than eighty-three persons
were lodged in two of she Dublin police-offices, and
charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The
police attribute this great numberof arrest, to the recent
opening of numerous beer-houses under the Beer Act of
George IV.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

CHAIIIO2 Or TIM BISHOP or Rtrog.—The charge
delivered by the Bishop of Ripon on commencing Ills
triennial visitation on Saturday, Ls much more prac-
tical than such productions usually are. The bishop
had taken great pins to obtain information respecting
the religious statistics of his diocese, and on the facts
thus elicited he commented at scene length. On the
universally discussed subject of the Educational Code,
his lord,hip, while not approving of the change, ex
-
premed his belief that a reduced allowance must be
looked for, and wisely added that he was not afraid
to see the Church schools thrown beck more upon robin-
tsry support. Respecting jchurch-ratei, the bishop in-
dulged in what ii now the ususl anticipation of a soup
promise ; of any revision of the established Prayer-book
he expressed disapproval ; and he concluded by con-
demning the productions of Rationalistic clergymen u
teaching fundamental error.

EraDt anD Comma.

Ttia LFATUER TRADE.—The leather trade ban of late
presented a very healthy appearance : the sales that
have beau effected, although not large, have been quite
up to the average for the present season of the year,
whilst the supply of most articles haat beet' very limited,
and our stocks are now much smaller than they have
been for many months past.--Dressiag Leather—We
have had • fair inquiry for best haenesa and meddlers'
'ado., at about late rates. Common hides and shaved
lath h have ant moved off very readily, but our stocks of
these goods are not large. The demand for ',kilts still
continues limited, excepting fur those averaging 80 to
100 hue per duo ii, anu also for prime pattern skins, but
the late advance tat the latter has not been sustained.
Kips are in exceedingly short supply, and most parcels
find buyers on arrival. English home 'Mies have been
cinch inquired for, and realise full prices ; npanish have
not hen in good demand. Basile have come forward
lather 11111 l c but generally find buy' ra at our
quotations.—Sol Leather—The demand for South
American butts has lately improved, and our stock of
all weighta is limited, those averaging 3611 ts and over
being mostly inquired fur. Extra stout butts are ex-
ceedingly pierce, and the supply of those suitable for
army puneott.s has been very short of the demand.
New South Wales butte are in short supply, and readily
find buyers. &tenth butts of good growth, averaging
2511ar and upwsrde, continue saleable ; but there is little
or nothing doing in those of lighter aversive. Good
heavy bellies are very scarce, and realise an advance of
fully ul per lb. Sole shoulders are saleable, but the
supply ia very litnitetl.—Carried Leather—There has
beeti a fair business doing in this description of goods,
and our stock is very low. Light kip butts of low prices f
are much ingtured or, as also light shoe butts, of which
there are but very few on hand.—Row ataxia—We have
only hail one arrival of :loath American hides into this
port since our hat, viz., the 'llmatelrit from Monte
Mee, situ 4,503 salted hides. In these goods the
transactions have been small for the last few weeks,
anti the market is generally easier. The advice,' just
received from the River Plate tend to show that the
slaughtering will probably continence during the current
month, 11114 as many parties who held out for high prices
last year are now disposed Locum° into the market, the
supplies will doubtless he very large. The first arrivals
of the approaching season's hides may be expected al
early as March next, and with the present exces-
sive stocks on hand, both of South American and
New South Wales hides, tanners may confidently look
forward to lower prices ere long.—Berk and Palmiti—
n'o demand fur hark is still small. Prime Valonia is
is very scarce, and commands advanced priors; but the
side fur that of secondary quality is very limited.

liailton Entclligence.

The amounts of the Bristol and Exeter Railway for
this lialf.year will, it is thought, show like
the following reaults ; Receipt. —Traffic to December 1,
as per published returns, cl49.tkal ; dot. from Dec. 1
to Dee. 31, as estimated, 1:24,5013; rents. dividends from
other companies, and other incidental revenue, as
estitulted, £B,OOO. Eatiniated receipts to Dec. 31,
£182,548 ; to which ituuit be added balance from last
half year, £452; Ilsking the half-year's receipts,
C 183,609. Expenditure —4l inking ell cows, including
rates, tales, duty, and maintenance of way, estimatvil
£BB,OOO ; interest on loans, dividends on preference
stock, kc., °alit:bated at 1.738,faM; leases and payments
to be made to other companies, under agreements, km.,
estimated at £4,500. Estimated tots! expenditure,
£131.000. Estimated amount applicable to dividend,
02,000 ; which would admit of a dividend at the rate
of five per cent. per annum, which it is calculated would
require £ra),s4i2, and the balance to be tarried forward
would be £1,338. Although the dividend thus indicated
is precisely the same as that which was I and for the
corresponding portion of the last year, it is I per cent,
per annum more than that which was earned during the
first six months of this year • but that difference, as baa
in other eases been remarked, arises more from the
reeeipte being always greater daring the half year than
from any iniprorenieut that has taken place in the
traffic of tbe line.

To the Editor of the Wrynaouth, Portiaoti, aid

Sint—Although I was somewhat sed at the quaint
remarks of "Vents." I could not help thinking, on
reading bin letter, that lie had not yet learned the
precept uf "Live and let live." "Vera,' a.lvises that a
meeting should he cailea to proteat acainat a railroad
being ma le to Portland. What would he have said, if
the Dorcheater people had called a meeting to protest
against the railroad extending to Wey ttttt uth. because.
(smooth, it would injure their tralle Yet "what is
sauce for the goose is ague° also for the gander". The
Wry tuothianss
for their own pleasure, erected a pile
pier, and now they prevent our going to and from
WrrillYlith by the only pulilie conveyance
we have unless we pay :11. toll. Thim we, in Portland,
consider • great hardship. If the Weymouth Town
council mismanage the affairs of their town, that
is the fault of those who el.tet them. The
Weymouthiaus have the power to remedy
the evil if they climi-e to exercise their authority. But
it ppears to Inc Vi ry like child's play to say, " because
we in Weymouth having managed our affairs so badly
that we are in difficulties, therefore you Portlanders
shall not have a railroad, or we shall nevi r extricate
ouraelvea." As to whether • railroad to Portland will
pay the tharehoblers I cannot tell. My belief is that it
will ; but, ma I suppose " Verax" does not intend to tak,
any shares himaelf. I must confesa myself iso very dull
of comprehension that I eannot for the life of me see
what business it is of his. whethet it will pay or not.
