ANTI-MALT-TAX MililTINO.—A large meeting,
imposed chiefly of former', wns held at Colchester os
Saturday, at the Three Cops lan, Coldwater, to Winos
parliament fur the repent of the malt tax. The member, for
the county had been mean, but excused themselves on
various grounds Sir John Tyrrell had • bad cold ; Major
Bensford an interview with Mr. Disraeli; and Mr.
Brunton a prior engagement. The only member of In-
man present was the one, probably, least expected, vin.,
Mr. Hardcastle, the whig reprwentattve of Colchester, who,
though taking no wive port in the proceediags, wr under.
stood to be favourable to the repeal of the tax which was the
subject of the meeting. He wee accomponiod by several of
the most infnestial of his constituents, who declared then.
selves ready to joie heart and hand is the movement, if
carried on with the single object of obtaining the repeal of
the malt tax ; but need • reasonable and sensible protest
gains: encumbering the resolutions and petition with use-
less references to the defunct system of protectios. Ron-
Innen for the repeal of tee malt tax and for protection were
pared, and the following letter from Lord Stanley was
read:—" St. James's-square, March 25,1850. Sir —I have
hod the hasour of receiving a letter from you, written by

veep respectfully, to decline the proposed interview.
Mr. Ca ley is • gentleman for when, peeeosally, I
have • einem reopen, but with whom I have no political
esmention ; and he brings forward the motion wholly
inespeetive of party, from his own coeviction of its impr-
isons to the interests of agriculture. Os this subject great
Sillmosse of *plain prevails among the agricolturists

tionist printiples ; some will conscientiously rots fur the

opialeas ea the part of their constituents; and many, so
dean, as a mode of testifying their dissatisfaction at the
often panned by the government towards those connected
with the land, and their determination to obtain redress in
some shape or other; and, others, with equal sincerity,
will refuse to give their mint to a proposition of
which they think the benefits doubtful and ex-
aggerated, sad which, if carried, would ewe so large
• defaleatios of mane as seriously to embarrass
any administration, and effectually prevent the &dep-

culture. I must confers that, were I • member of the House
of Commove, I should be rather inclined to coincide with
the latter than the form'r view, and to vote as I have before
I voted, both in office and in opposition, against the remission

lie would be found to bonnets overrated, especially hat:com-
pound (as they undoubtedly would be) by a repeal of the
prohibitory duties on the importation of foreign malt ; and
I cannot conscientiously lay either that the coun-
try could afford such a lose of revenue, or that, if it could,
the remission of this penis:slot tax would be the
most effectual mode of applying the !Auction for the inte-
rests of agriculnre. Entertaining these views, I think you
will perceive that it is impossible for me to urge upon my

rying on business at No. 10, Lower Jamwsetreet, Golden-

PAU( RAILWATL—We ((Hull Advertiser) have
this weak winning, at Mr. Cresskill's Agricultural Machine
Works, Beverley, two son of farm railways In working
order, with ters-tablee, potato, sidings, dtc , connected with
portable moving rails. We were shown, upon what Mr.
Crookill cells Ide two ton rail, four waggons, each loaded
with on ton and a half of soil, and one with straw. They were
managed by ass hone sad two men, evidently proving that
masers can be put ea and produce taken off the land by
those railways. Ose great peculiarity in the use of this rail
is that manual labour is so much cheaper than with ordinary
roads, as one horse, with two men, will do more work than
four hones and four Ens by the present plan. Whilst
admiring the evident stresgtie of the railr, and convinced by
