TM FARM= Alen FINANCIAL!. REFOR3I.—The
Lincoln Mercury, of Feb. 9, 1849, says :—" After the routine
business at a =my of the inhabitants of the hamlet of
flouthozeiheld on the 30th ult., and adjourned, &c., H.
Neale, ~ in the chair, an animated COIITOTS•li011 tooli
place relative to the position in which agriculturists are
placed by the low price of produce, the probable effects of
free trade in corn, local bodkins, &o. One of the principal
tenants of the Marquis of Easter (who owes a port on of the
land in Bcrathorpe), stated that it was the esprested opinion
of the marspide that the farmer should rise in a body, sad
the legislature to reimpose a tax on foreign grain.
trolirpeshiew was offered to this recommendation, but com-
plaint was made that game was almost an intolerable nui-
sance, that hares and rabbits destroyed about one-fourth of
the produce of land in this neighbourhood, and that wood-
pigeons and crows (being fostered by the gamekeepers, who
prevented their being destroyed, lest shooting them should
disturb the game) did Incalculable injury to young clover,
turnips and growing corn. A qee,tion was mooted whether
it would not be advisable to =moralise the landlord on
these grievances, and also with reference to deficient farm-
steads; but it was the opinion of the majority that such •
course would avail them nothing, and that what Mr. Cob-
den at me sent proposed would be a more substantial relief to
them sad to the country generally.

TEE WEDNESDAY CONCERYS.-110 concert of last
evening contained several novelties which are worthy of
mica The principal of these was Webea's pianoforte Con-
certo is B Bet, performed by Miss Kate Loder. Weber's
fuse in this country nem on hie dramatic compositions ; his
pianoforte music, save • few trifling pieces, as Limon nu-
known. He was, however, a pianist of the highest order,
and his concertos for that instrument may be clamed along
with those of Beethoven and Mendelsohn. Mies Loder's
performance was admirable in every respect, equally re-
markable fee brilliant executioot style, and expression.
This young lady is rapidly rising to the very. summit
of her profession ; in a short time there is every
reason to expect that ohs will have no aspen',
in Europe. She was well accompanied by the orchestra,
and liar performance was most warmly epplaaded. Kr.
also had great moors in a sole on the violin, composed
fa him by Mr. B. Perry. It was a pleasing and effective
piece ; and Mr. Will 's execution of it showed him to be one
of the most aosamplished violinists of the day. Another
novelty was an air—" Meet me, dearest"—composed by Mr.
Lanza, and sung for the first time by Mr. Sims Reeves. It
is an exceedingly graceful and expressive melody, and so
beautifully sung that it was loudly encored. A new naval
ballad, =lied " The Baster," composed by Mr. Rockatro,
was sung for the first time by Mr. Lefiler, and received with
great applause, which it justly merited. There was a eelec•
tion from the " Tanaedi" of Rossini, ' • of several
airs and duels, sung with English words. is Dolby
sang the famous " Di anti palpiti" with her usnal excel-
lence, but the want of the Italian words sadly injured its
effect. There were, as usual, an immense number of ballads,
sung by Mr. Brehm, Miss Lacombe, Miss Pools, Kr.
Reeves' Mn. Newton, sta. Some of them were su gar
enough, but they seemed to suit the taste of the audience.
The hall, as usual, was crowded.
