ward was held in the New Court of the Sessions House,

sence of Alderman Sir Josses Duke, Bart., M P., Mr.
Deputy BiDTOILD presided. Mr. Herapath opined the pro-
esedings. They bad Met to adopt steps to stay the
aggressive power of the Bishop of Rome, who had
attempted a spiritual supreinvey nbteinive of the prero-
gatives of the Queen and entirely opposed to proteetantisna.
If we submitted to this we might shortly exp-et the inqul-
sitWi amongst so. Mr. Herapath, at considerable lecgth,
pointed out the errors of the Bullish church, and eontrairted
its demoralising Influence by comparing protestant and
catholic countries, particularly evidencing the north and
south of Ireland. Politically and religiously we were bound
to resist this aggression. He concluded by moving a resolu•
tion protesting against the exercise of spiritual authority in
this country by the Pope, which was seconded by Mr. Fur-
low, and carried unanimously. Mr. Taylor moved a loyal
petition to her Majesty, protesting against the recent Pooh%
aggressions. end calling on the Queen to maintain her pre-
rogative. Adopted by acelantattnn. The usual courtesy to
the chair terminated the proireedings.

THE LORD DM•Toa bits postponed the special Court
of Common Csanoil for an address to the Queen from Mon-
day to Thandey ant, in consequent), of the 'Aston* usage
observed at the commencentrat of each mayoralty.

GREAT AGRICULTURAL MEETING AT -
BURT OICON-TRINT.
BURTON, FILID/T.
Last evening a itad agricultural meeting took
piece ►ere, the oo.alM bag the atonal dinner of the
Farman' Club. Tarot amen attended from nearly all
lON Mobs la the MidlwolOestallse, and had there been ac.
souusodation at leut IN s would have dined. As it
we., more than 100 at the Three Queens ender
the presidasey of R. Gisbeffea, Mag. (formerly M.P. for
Derbyshire). There were peemat, C. D. Adderley,
M P. ; W.. Erase, Eio , ; K. T. Base. Es q.P.
C. Aritwridhi. • (1. Reilead, Rig. (let. M.P.hi for
Worcestershire) ; Matthew Oisburne, Req , Ac.
Th✓anal loyal toasts were drank, and then " the clergy,"
la replying to which

Tti• Bet. Kr. STEAD said It wu a fortunate thing at
this portico/1r Juncture that a sua like Dr. Sumner wu
at the head of the c►urch, a .as of unmistakable protee•
tandem, and he (Mr. Stead) trusted that the clergy goner.
ally would be found sound in the faith and ready to sake
t►e van in defence of oar protestant constitution and our
cdril sad religious liberties. (Loud cheers.)

The CHAIRMAN, M reference to the present position
sad prospeet of agriculture, said he regretted that he
*odd not congratulate them on • decided Improve.
mint la their condition, nor did he see a remedy
for their distress is the adoption of those recipes
which showed them how to increase the produce
of the had, when it met them morethan they could sell it
for. He was Industrious, sad yet could not, with present
primes, maks farming pay. He did not keep a pack of
beagles ; and if he did, he wield be, as Mr. Meyarli said,
• nuisance to the siighbearbood. (Laughter.) He did
not keep a yacht. He did not dabble in pictures. Is
abort, he was as careful as meet men, but he meld sot make
Jimmie( pay with pretreat priors. (Cheer.) He &dirtied
the farmers to be cautious how they adopted, without strict
investigation, the w.stiw recommended to them ea all
kande by farming amateurs. Rift them well, mad adept what
is terneficial. Ile did not mean to say that farmers may not
benefit by iacreasing their produce ; but he maintained
that • vast augmentation of produce would not cure the.
condition unless they could produ. • cheaper than any other
country. (Hear, hear.) Seeing that all otter great lem-
mata in this country were prospering, whereas agriculture
was depraved, he was led to look beak at the measure by
which agriculture had been affected by I.lll.lation, He
Nimrod to bills of 1813, to restore the standard which was
greatly lajarious to farmers, and also the audacious thing
dose In 1819 ae respects the public debt. 1n 1814 as much
gold as would bay 600 millions, would have paid off the
national debt; its 1819 the legislature passed • law which
said it could not be paid off for leas than 800 millions. Be
now that the burdens of poem bed become worse than wreathe
burdens of war, he had no dcabt that the nubile burdens
re we greater than they were during the war. (Hear, hear.)
That miscue heavy blow at agriculture. He then referred
to the extent which paper credit ran, and the interfemoce of
the legislature, which made no distinction between the good
and bad paper, but pat it ell together, and suppressed it by
one single blow. The effect of this was, that we could not
go on without small change; gold became scarce, and there-
tore deer, which meant that goods were cheap. From three
two blows agriculture had never fairly recovered. (Hear.)
Well, then, altar the pesos, these was &considerable reduction
of taxation. The house tax, cotton tag, tax on printed
calico, the tax on Imported wool, were remitted; but he
could not recollect a single tax taken off agriculture.
(Cheers.) Oh, aye, the tax was taken off bu•banery, horses,
and shepherds' dogs. (Laughter.) But they were no
et:septum ; horses here are farmers' moving power,
just es much as the piston rod of the steam
entice was the moving power of the manufacturer.
(Cheers.) And what was a shepherd's dm t No.
thing but a labourer on the farm. (Cheers.) Well, then,
there was the vexed question of local burdens, which had
• been debated by two of the most eminent persons this as.
tics contained, man of whom ht(Mr.oisborne) must speak
. .

being tidily ,reeled. The landlord has a remedy for his rent
—distr.m end way, sad a man who hes en unequal capital
hes an uneqnal nmarilition. When they talked of the liberality
of landlords in ankh, per oentrige returns, he hr one would
rather not en it, bat have the land takers et a valuation,
not, es in some mews now, by the landlord's own meat de-
sidle( the value, but by a valuer on either side ; and if they
could not agree, by ailing in an umpire. The times de-
manded& revel's:ha. (Chum.) What is the amount of
espied employed, the (utility of the soil, and the situa-
tion of the farm as ngaeds facilities for markets
and obtaining manure ? these were the questions to be taken
into the asecnuit. (Cheers.)
Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, a member of the Bosworth Per-
seers' Club, advocated a repeal of the malt-tax end an
i equalintion of budgies. Why should not farmers have the
privilege of feeding their cattle with malt ? Bespoke of the
good education the children of paupers were receiving in the
union schools, and said that it wee utterly out of toe power
of many poor farmers to give their own children aura
an education. Landlords ought to build schools in which
farmers' seas could get a good education on reasonable
terms. (Beer.) Time was when situations in gentlemen'.
families wen filled by the sons of honest yeomen, but now
nothing would ge down with them but foreign servants and
teachers. (Cheers end laughter.) Why was this ? Be-
nue the system of education here was defective in quality
and quantity, and was not accessinle to the children of needy
persons. (Cheers )
The health of Mr. BASS, M.P., wee drank with three
time three. The hon. gentleman spoke at et:meliorable
length, and contended that the farmer would be ma evially
benefited by increasing the amount of his produce. As
Lord Stanley said, if growing good crops won't pay a man,
growing inferior ones must ruin him. (Hear.) He sub-
mitted that the agriculturists ought to be relieved of the tax
on malt ; the few material of the timer ought not to be
taxed any more than the raw material of the manufacturer.
(Cheep.) (A Voice—" Roots.") He believed they had
heard pretty well of that. ('• Not half enough!") He
agreed with Mr. Adderley that rent must be made consonant
with the altered state of things. (Chet n.)
Mr. A. BASS, secretary of the Burton Club, advocated a
proper system of tenant right. II landlords wished to relieve
the farmer, let them have their estates revalued, and have
corn rents. He concluded by proposing ts Mr. Mayon and
the tenant farmers of the district."
Mr. MASON, who is a tenant of the Marquis of Anglesey,
said though their occupation was salubrious, it was not
prosperous. Rent was the material question at the present
I moment. What they wanted in the way of relief should
• ►e prompt and immediate, for while the grass cruses the
hone starves. (" Hear, hear," and cheer..) In his opinion
prices are settled. The harvest this year was deficient;
and notwithstanding the trading and manuf►cturing inte-
rests were prosperous, they had a low price for corn. Wee
• not this a strong confirmation of his opinion, that prices are
settled ? It was as great a delusion to expect to see high
priers for corn in this country as it was to expect a restore-
Hop of protection. (Hear, hear )
Mr. Adderley was appointed president of the club for the
ensuing year.
The CHAIRMAN, in dismining the meeting, said that
the farmers had spoken out like men. Let no man say that
• that was not a free and spirited meeting.
The meeting did not break up until II o'clock.

of with the_ Voltage respect—Mr. Cobden and Mr. Dis4eli.
(Cheers) He could hardly conoidve that any two such men
could leave any debateable argument unemployed ; and after
considering what they had urged, he (Mr. °Wurzel remained
of the opiates to -high his own reflections led him, namely,
the.. the loaded interest and aviculturists are unfairly and
unequally burdened in the matter of local taxation. (Cheers )
They bad been unfairly treated by the legielatute. Hs
knew people said, " How can that be, when the landed in-
terest has always predominated in parliament ?" Then he said
" More shame for them." (Cheers and laughter.) H. did
act, however, believe in that predominating influence. In
this country public opinion, in the long run, bears sway ;
and therefore however humble that club of farmers might
be, when met together to talk sensibly and rationally, they
contribwed something to that great mass which in the 'ogre.
gate forms public opinion. (Cheers.) Well, then, agricul-
ture feeling itself labouring under the repeated blows he had
mentioned, it was natural that it should Belk Lime method

It lied nothing to do with politics. It is a question of our

free trade ea a return from an artificial state to one of

A meeting of the Roman catholic clergy of Dublin
has been summoned by Archbishop Murray for the
purpose of addressing Cardinal NVibeman and of ex-
pressing their gratitude to the Pupe for the recent
measures adopted by him with reference to the
Roman catholic church in England. The announce-
ment of this intended meeting has created some sur-
prise, u it was not expected that if any step of the
kind were taken in Ireland it would be initiated by
Dr. Murray ; but it is probable that the object of the
meeting has no reference whatever to the popular ex-
citement created by the late papal measures, and that
it is not intended to operate as any counter-expres-
sion of Roman catholic opinion. The advertisement,
which has appeared in the Erening Post and Fete-
man's Journal, is in the following terms :
Archbishop Murray requests • meeting of the catholic
clergy of Dublin and its vteinity, to be held in the parochiet
house, Marlboroughatreet, on Monday nest, November 18,
