AGRICVLTURAL pgoGßEm.—.lfr. John Grey,
of nil.
ston, conuniwioneno the Greenwich Hospital Estates la
Northumberland, UM one of the best practical fanner*
in that county, presiiisd at the annual dinner of the
He'll's' Farmers elub os Tuniday. Mr. Grey, in
posing Success to the heti., Farmers'es. rlub,
livered de-
a very interesting elismerse on the 1,
agriculture, in the course of which Iss :71-34There
was not, certainly, nearly one-half of the produce of
butchers' meat which there is at this ruoinent. Then
with regard to wool. Look at the price which wool hi
maintaining, and the desirability there is for the culti-
vation of that kind of stock which not only gives you the
carcare at the end, but gives you an annual prude.. of
wool. It is sail, and may be said truly with regard to
some farms, that it is impossible that the fanner con
thrive with the average price of wheat at 40e, and below
it. I saw it stated in one of our periodical papers
the other day that the farmer would be ruined
by the pries) of wheat. So eay I. if there are
farm* which have nothing else but wiles& to
depend upon. That is the case certainly on sonic small
farms of cold land ; but it will !lenity be the case, as it
might have been if beef and mutton were At 4.1. a-pound
l'ailaad of 7.j. and and had wool been at Ms. or W..
the stone instead of :kis., as we have limit it formerly, or
i_eliatead of 425. as it O now ; for, gentlemen, it may be
of mine consequence for you to know, and sonic conso-
lation to those who have much to sell, that I know of
one person who WO linen offered for his nest year's clip
of between 200 and :Itel stones 425. a stone, to be paid
within a fortnight of his clipping it. (lenid Applause.)
I think there is • lesson taught by that, When i have
directed your attention to the low price ruling for wheat
and other grain, though oats and bArley are nut so de-
l'resaed ; but when I have drawn your attention to the
itio Price of wheat and to the high comparative price of
butcher's meat, 1 think this lesson meets you—and that
you will take it to yourselves, that there ate countries
re farourable as to mil and climate for the produc-
tion of wheat than our own ; that wheat is an article
which tan be transferred from one part of the world or
one halt of the country to another, and is of small bulk
as anuoared with it.., value, but that no one can injure
moony up to us either in beef or mutton, or in the
growt% of wool. _

RIIIANDIML—The Tyrone Could idiom contains the
subjoined statement :—" We are compelled to
nod,e
publis the fact, of the certainty of which we do not any
longer entertain a. doubt, that a Riband lodge is at
proeit fully organized in the village of Beragh, within
live miles of thh town. The stated uieetinp are held
on the premises if a publican, and the inernbers, chiedy
"errant& and workmen. are just of that clam which we
would least desire to elect as the legislators and rulers
of our social affairs. These circumstances have been for
some tone known to ua, but we did not feel jastified in
making any stateinett concerning them until we had
inteertaried their accuracy. We have now to ask front
the magistrates and th, local constabulary the protection
which they are entitled to extend it: such a ease. We
require that this deaserate band of ruffians shall ho
bunted from their den and that no means shall be left
untried to drag them houi the secrecy by which they
seek to shelter their malignant oowardice."
