known chorus, "Rule Britannia," ill which the .arnipany
joined, and it was repeated. A song from Mr. J. Davis,

leg to answer a, limd we can the bit which was in your
loper last week, which was wrote by a lieuon who signs
' A Looker On. Now we hen talking about what
" looker on put there, and we say tiden all true. Mr.
John Keynes do lay his men ha, a week; he be talking
about the lowest wages, not the highest he ay 12e., we
say lie. He say too that they pay no rent; they did, they
paid it to their employer. He ay they were working for
others at the same wages; we say they are not working
for others at the Mine wages, for two of them are still
doing nothing, and have not worked for wages since ; only
one family returned Li work. We think our master
penny wise and pound foolish; "looker on " say he save
.1:10, and we ay lose ao. About grassin down the land,
that's • wuld tale, and the sooner that's done the better,
because then we think when it do come to be known
that they be stopping to grow food for the people, Govern-
ment will take it away, and let we labourers have it.
Wish we bad, there shoulden be any lack of bread shout

said that our late employer has three sons who can do as
much as sic of we, do challenge these three woo to any

SEEDS.

The sowing demand being now at an end our seed
trade offers but little subject fur remark. In red
clovers there has been some speculative business
passing at full rates. The recent ungenial weather
and the acknowledged lightness of the stocks remain-
ing on hand impart considerable firmness to values.
For mustard and rape seed we have a steady demand
at recent prices ; the latter article, indeed, exhibits
signs of still further advancing. Linseed moves off
quietly at last Monday's quotations. Canary seed is
again dearer ; blue boiling peas in improved request ;
the few lots left behind find ready buyers.—John Shaw

that the cottages were let from week to week. His

To the Editor.

Your correspondent "Looker-On" seems to know but
very little concerning the real state of affairs at Milborne,
and there are some parts of his statement no glaringly
incorrect and unjust to the labourers, that I feel bound,
as one of those interested, to contradict them. In the
first place, "Looker on says on visiting the parish he
found the strike confined to the south side of the turnpike
load. This is not true, as one of the farm. wherethe men
have struck is not situate on the south side
t'
and, in addi-
tion, some of the labourers do not live on the south side.
Then, he says, "here the same waxes are paid as on
neighbouring farms, viz., 12s. per week with perquisitca.
and the best men are at piece work the greater portion of
the year, an advantage open to others if they will avail
themselves of it, In t.ffis way they can and do earn
several shillings per week more." A series of false
statements from beginning to end. The men, I say, dill
not have perquisites, and as to having the advantage of
piece wo7lc, the only time I can remember was when a
job 50 offered us at such a price as would have rendered
It impossible for us to have earned so much as 12s. per
week. Your correspondent says "three of the families
paid Ito rem, and were ejected Incense they were found
working for others for the same wages they before
received." If these families paid no rent, how came it to
pass that Is, weekly was kept back front their 12a, wages
to pay the resat This was done, and if this is paying no
rent, I know not what else to call it. "They were found
Working for others at the same wages," he says ; hut what
are the (acts I Some of those on strike, having nothing
else to do, dug up • bit of garden ground for Is, soda drop
of ale. With regard to the saving that has been effected
by one of the farmers, I have only to say if he calls saving
being obliged to plough in the weeds in his fields, because
he has not sufficient hands to clean the land, I am In.
dined to think the extra labour which will result in
cleanir.g the crops, will sadly diminish the so.calleal •xv-
ing. I sin afraid there is no Immediate prospect of the
strike owning to an end, although were it not for the
stubbornese of certain parties, I believe things would he
soon asuliAbly settled, as there seems a desire on the pert
of some of the employers to come to a satisfactory
arrangement with the men.

TIIE SHIM' OF THE SOUTHERN
COUNTIM

- - --
Tug DOWNR.—The South Down is a breed principally
inhabiting the chalk hills and light lands of Sussex and
other southern counties of England ; the arid climate and
scanty herbage of this formation is ill-adapted fur the
support of large animals, sr the growth of a heavy fleece
of wool. This breed when fed on their native pastures
are highly mteeneed hy epicures in these days of high rents
anal high feeding. 'Die tenant-farmer most favours that
breed which produces the greater weight of wool and
mutton at an early age ; hence the South Down is now
held in less estimation beyond the district where it has
become nechinatised.—The Wiltshire Down ha larger and
coarser than the South Down ; they are the principal
breed which occupy the counties of Wilts, Berks, and
Hants, all greet turnip-growing counties. The laud is
mestly under the four-course rotation of cropping; the
Acid varies from light chalk to strung clay. The farms
are mostly large, and many knees breadth of old pasture
called down land; these are low ranges of unenclased
hills, mostly running east to west, and many miles in
extent, The sheep are folded theoughout the year com-
mencing about the middle of September or the beginning
of October with white twin's, and finishing off with
swedes by the end of April; by this time either tares,
&teeth, or Italian rye-grass is reedy ; on this and clovers
they are kept until the turnips are again ready for the
fold. 'fhis breed has been greatly improved within the
last M years, they are inured to the fold, attain to great
weight at an early age, cut a fair quantity of wool, and are
Letter adapted to the soil and climate they inhabit than
that ninny other breed. The farmers of this district can-
not be surpassed as sheep managers.
THE WHITE-FACEO HORSED BREED, indigenous to the
county of hornet, pews., some striking peculiarities, the
natural effect of soil, climate, and management ; they
frequently land, by the lit of October, and even ROMs.
times produce two crops of lambs in 12 month.; the
drift ewes are purchased by the fanners of the Isle of
Wight, the mild climate of which enables them to furnieh
the Loudon market with lamb at chriatinas.

CATTLE.

BRISTOL, Tituitsn.Vll —We had a large supply
of beef at our market to-day, although the Irish con-
signments numbered only about 40, but business was
slow, and some were left unsold. Best samples
fetched from 80s. to 82s. per cwt ; middling sorts,
from 70s. to 755 Sheep were also in large supply,
and met with an improved sale, good light wethers
fetching 74d. to &l • heavy ewes, 6d to 7d. We
had a large show of iamb, but there was a falling off
in the demand, and to effect clearances holders sub-
mitted to reductions, the best samples changing hands
at ltd. and secondary qualities at toil. There were
upwards of 1,0 store cattle on offer, but the recent
frosty weather has had an adverse influence upon trade,
and although prices were somewhat lower.than last
week, there were a good many left unsold. We had
a large supply of store sheep, and the best samples
met with a ready sale at from sos. to 555. but inferior
sorts were almost unsaleable. Mitch cows were also
plentiful, and some were left on hand ; prices were
about the same as last week. There were about
I,ocio pigs on offer, and trade was very dull. Bacon
pigs fetched from Its. 3d. to Its 6d and porkers
Its. 6d. to its. 9d.
METROPOLITAN, TICURSDAY.—We have a
large supply of beasts ; trade is dull, yet there is a
fair demand. It is difficult to realise Monday's quo.
tations Sheep are also more plentiful ; prices on
the average are lower, and a clearance cannot be
effected Trade is very dull for lambs, and our top
quotation is only realised in very choice qualities.
Calves are plentiful and cheaper, There arc 60
English, and ao Dutch milch cows on offer; trade is
very bad for them. Our foreign supply consists of
itio beasts, ao milch cows, 4,190 sheep, and aso
calves.

' 7" ------ -
We are expenenem4 a steady trade, supply and
demand being pretty fairly met, and very little altera-
tion in prices. Imports heavy, comprising asparagus,
French beans, artichokes, turnips, carrots, and peas ;
in fruit, cherries and apricots, both much inq -----------
during the past week, the cool wi=ther being favour-
able for their transit. A good parcel of St. Michael
pines passed under the hammer yesterday, and also a
consignment of West India ones arrived a few days
ago, of good quality, from Antigua.
Among the choicest descriptions of fruit in the

to 125. each ; strawberries, 6.. to zos. per lb. ; grapes,
