WILTSHIRE.

THE QUERTLOW OF } LAX CULTURE appears now tone
attracting the attenti a of the Wiltshire farmers. On
Thursday Mr. Warnes, a well-known cultivator of that ar-
tick, met a considerable number of farmers and others nt
Devises, who rec. iced him cordially, and appeared to be
much inteiested in his statements. Mr. Warnes ar.:ued at
some length that the cultivatioa of flax would give emp:oy-
meet to the poor, and would at the same time return a hand-
some profit to the grower. Resoluilons including recom-
mendations of its culture in Wiltshire, were unanimously

GenUessert—As I bad the honour of replying in January last to
therewileition with which you then favoured me, I uml do little else
on the present Decision of the writ being moved, thin to refer to that
adder at. Having come forward rale in obedience to your very flat-
tering call, and rot venturing to offer myself but under such moons
Tenement, I trust that a personal canvass win not be required. I
should willingly encounter the febigue of such an undertaking; bat I
am g' id to bewared the risk of giving offence by accidental ornimione,
tram mere oversight, which, in an undertaking of that stature, it is
almost impossible to avoid. I shall shortly have the honour of

JLNNT LINO AND THY. ITALIAN OPERA.--Sir,—My
attention ha been directed to the following paragraph in the
Morning Herald of this day, relating to the arrangements
of the ensuing season of her Majesty's Theatre: " At Easter
Jenny Lind ateolutely comes, and, what in more, remains
thruhrhont the whole of the IC1,1011: the direful threaten-
!age of Mr. Bunn, to whom she wan last year under certain
imputed obligations, being either removed by negotiation, or
regarded with defiance." The "imputed obligations" be-
tween Millie. Jenny Lind and myself consist of a formal
contiact, drawn up by Monsieur Meyerbeer (who undertook
to produce his opera of The Camp of Silesia with her at
Drury-lane), and it was executed in the pretence of the
British minister at Berlin. Mdlle. Lind has made a forceful
appeal to me to give up this contract, which I have most
certainly refs-ed to do. My, " direful threatenings" may
bs " regarded with defiance,' but are not at present te-
nses ed by negotiation, for, while I am ready to admit that a
negotiation is under consideration, I beg to say the con-
temptible offer of compensation recently made me box been
utterly rejected. I have, &c., A. BUNN.—York Hotel,
