London, England, 1849-12-01 00:00:00

An itflortatial gatheling of the egricultwiste of
Dorset took Kau on Thursday, Nov. 29, at Starminster. on
the oceasketof the anniversary of the above society. This
muting is away* 1« k-d forward to with great interest, not
only beesase the show of stock la the 'morning is the meet
impute's% ene is the county, bet because Mr. Hurable, the
wan known seleatifla agriculturist, has been in the habit of
listening at the diner the results of his year's experiments
it thet tree.atwthaptreinstoemen;.,. however, of gig, Mr. Hauxotftes
abuses beluga known same little laughter ensued. The
'eV. genthman wu expecting to nodes and entertain
Bar Robert Peel.
The dinner was presided over by Mr. JAMS Farquharson,
Master of the Doreetahire fox hounds, who was supported
by Earl Rivers, Lord Rayleigh, Sir Edward Biker Baker,
Bait, Kr. George Banks, M.P., Mr. H. Ker &eyelet, M.P.,
Mr. John Toyer, M.P. Kr. Monacan ' M.P ,
Bev. Kerne Marinden, Bower, Austin, Fox, eke., and about
&60 other gentlemen.
After some preliminary toasts, the Cithuutes stave " the
Health of the Pause et the Society, Lord Riven."
Lea RIVERS said he regretted very sincerely the ab.
owe el Mr. Huxteble from their table that evening, for his
*MOM was the speech of the evening o* all occasions, and
he believed ea this oohed et it would be • speech of more
Mee feelEsnole haterest because he (Lord Rivers) had been
blued (end be believed correctly) that Mr. Heatable was
bee men ID show them how to grow corn at 6s. a bushel,
auillesf aid name at 6d. a posed. (Laugh Us.) That
be ialormation that illeabtlese they would be may
to recedes, and he was awe it would have claimed this
and interest. He hoped win_simerely that ha the
say seething:l Mega' -Wee that -0.111610
weld be very *crapulous in not intermixing turbine like
an allusion to politics, for that society would be benefited
by the omission rasher than by the admission of a pont:cal
discussion there. He had observed in the papers of It.
that seveial agricultural protection mi clings had beau held.
An agricultural meeting might be a very good thing in itself,
and so prthably might be a protec'ionist meeting ; but nei-
' ther was useful nor desirable if blended with the other. His
lordship then referred to objections that had been raised
against the keeping of animals upon their own manors, and
said that he was unelected that the health of the animals
was not thereby injured. His lordship then proposed " The
health of the president," who briefly returned thanks.
A Feasts in the body of the meeting waked to ask if be
had nut misuuderstood Lied Rivera when lie said Kr. Hui-
tale could tell them how to grow wheat at 6s. a bushel ?
Surely there was some mistake.
Lord RIVERS said, whether Mr. He:table could have
succeeded in convincing them he knew not, but he believed
that if be had come there he would have been prepared to
mike the attempt to show them that wheat could be groom
at 6'. a bushel, and beef and mutton at 6d. a pound.
Mr. KILLER, as a walnut farmer, denied that it could be
done under present prices ; and
Kr. SHBEIRING said he had been a farmer 45 years, and
he could and never should do it. (Much cbeering.)
The CHAIRMAN then gave " the Health of the Bishop
and Clergy."
The Rev. Mr. MARINDEN said, although the farmers
were called a grumbling race of seen, yet he could say (hav-
ing passed his life among them) that he had seen nothing bet
cheerfulness and good-humour, and a conteetment which
quite surprised him, and from which, he thought, the ma-
nufacturers might take a lesson.
The successful o.ndidates were then toasted.
Mr. MILLER said he was clever enough to win a prise
almost at any place that he showed at, but he was not clever
enough to grow wheat at 61. • bushel, under present recta
and burdens. He had been a great farmer many more yam
than Mr. Huxtahle, sad he would tell him that it was im-
possible to du it.
Mr. H. FOWLES said, if he could not grow wheat at 61. a
bulbs', there was one thing he could do—be could heat Mr.
Heatable in a crop of 'urnipe. (Kr. Fookes obtained the
first peer, Mr. Heatable being fourth.) Ho thought Lord
Rivers must have been somewhat misinformed, because he
could assure them Mr. Huxueble wrote to him t# say he had
been losing lots of money. (Laughter) He had the lotto/
in his pocket.
The health of the county members was bunny cheered.
Mr. SAHEBS offered a lengthened apuligy for the ab-
lance of his brother magistrate and culleagee in the duties
of the chairmanship at quarter sessions, Kr. Yeatman, who
had been engaged at the epeciel general session held this
week, and remarked that the holding of that session
was • subject (certainly not a very pleasing one) con-
nutted with their meeting, and one to which he might ad.
vett. He, for one, ventured to hope that when they secured
cheap breed and easy accommodation to the labouring
clams, crime would diminish. Mary had believed, and he
had hoped, that that part, at least, of the promise held out
to them wield he accomplished, hut sorry he was to say that,
so far from that being_the case in this county, the very op.
petite was the fact. Taking the dear year of 1845—dear
when compared with the vary low prices of the preeent year
L —and comparing it with the cheap year of 1549, he found
that there were, in 11145, 688 persons convicted in the county.
L this year, up to this period, he was sorry to ray the num.
her was 1,184. Let it not for a moment be supposed that
be was saying chesp'eproduos produced crime from it ;
bet he said it was • batter disappointment to him, when he
had hoped that one of the results of the great experiment—
, One of the benefits promised to them was so entirely falsified,
I sad that instead of finding at that time that they might di-
minish the establishments of their workbou..es, and the costs
of their gaols, they were called on to have special and
intermediate sessions for the prisoners, and to add to their
wolkhouses, or to leave them in that ovarerowded
state in which many of them were to be found at present.
He might be told these were politico, bat they were politics
epee welch he could not be silent. (Cheers.) If the oppo-
site result had hien obtained he would have admitted the
benefit as • magistrate, although as a landlord he misfit
have suffered a loss; but, if be were to bee both as a magi,.
team and as a landlord, could he honestly be silent?
With regard to Mr. Iluxtabitt, without pretending to know
the cause of his absence, he might say he sincerely wished
that he was at that moment in better company thanthe pre-
sent. (Lengkter ) No persons loft more by his absence
than the county members, fer it had been usual for him to
present his annual budget on these occasions—he was their
chancellor of tile exchequer. (Laughter.) He brought
forward the ways and means; he showed m the way of
spending mosey, but not the means of getting it back spin.
(Cheers) At the agrthultural meetings throughout the
ki:Adoen he had found the main pieces of advice conveyed is
theta words at these: " Britons nester despair or despond ;"
" Every man must put his shoulder to the wheel." After
reterrith at eon's length to the advocacy of the farmers' in
won by Lord Smetana', the hon. gentleman concluded by
sating that no man could do him a greater service than to
convince him that be had been in error in these matters, but
until he discovered some ground for believing his opinions tobe
wrung, he must be excused if he maintained them, and
although he would not willingly put them forward to offend
any one, it was not in his nature to diseuise them. (Cheers.)
Mr. SEYMER declared that he did not hold the same
gloomy views as others, and promeied to quote the opinion
Of scientificwri:er, " that England was in • good dairy
belt." He urged on the landlords the necessity of draining
their estates, and concluded by declaring his mediums again
to vote for protection, it that question should be again brought
before the hatielature.
Lord RAYLEIGH, in reply to his health, said there was a
report in other counties that the Donetshire labourers were
net so much considered as the labourers of other caustics,
and he certainly was surprised (ai they did not hear in
Beta of wages under 10s.) to hear of 6i., but the hulthy
condition of the lab• men and the appearance of their
children led him te b.lieve their wages were made up to
them in some way pretty nearly equivalent to the wages of
Essex. (Ate later portion of the evening his lordship said
he wee hammed that no such wages were given in that
county.]
Mr. SIONCHTON MILNES afterwards spoke at some
length, but, as a stranger to the county, he forebore from
any renegue of a peiticil nature.
A a The proceedings of the meths lasted until past 10 o'clock.
