THE EARL of DARNLEY'S RENT•DAY.

PROM ♦ CORRESPONDINT.I

On Monday, the 14th inst. the Earl of Darnley
held Ilia rent-day at Cobham Hall, which was more
numerously attended than foe Mast years pasi.
After a very sumptuous dinner, the Noble Lord
addressed his icsistary in a speech delivered with
great energy and feeling, and which produced cur-
responding effect. He stated, with much perspi-
cuity and ability, the sources to which the present
agricultural difficulties might be traced, and trust-
ed that the evil had now arrived at its height.
sod that a Enure favourable tarn might be expected,
although he would not delusively hold out to thetis
an expectation that this could be effected without
• lapse of some time. In the mean time, however,
be exhorted those around him not to relax in their
' exertions, confident, as he was, that those who
most strenuously confirmed them would, in the
end, find their advantage. Fully ■ware of the
existing pressure, he had already directed • re-
duction to be made in their rents ; and although
he did not find himself called upon to make
an absolute pledge upon this point, he felt his dis-
position towards his tenantry to be such, that tf.
unhappily (and contrary to his present opinion),
the difficulties should continue, he should be ready
to make even greater sacrifices, under the fullest
persuasion that the interests of landlord and tenant
were inseparable, and so iuterwoveu that they Must
and ought
" To risk or solo together."
There was, however, one event upon which he had
no hesitation in giving a pledge, namely, that if a
favourable change should take place, he would not,
in their prosperity, perk an additional advantage to
himself. He concluded by proposing, as a toast,
" Success to Agriculture."
The address was received with every demonstra-
tion of satisfaction and g►utitude, and the day was
passed in perfect harmony.
The redaction already made by the Noble Lord
ivy it, most instances, to the extent of 20 per cent.
