MR. DISRAELI AT AYLESBURY.

The anniversary meeting of the Eoyal Bucks Agri-
cultural Association took place yesterday at the
George Hotel, Aylesbury.
The usual ploughing match took place in the morn-
ing on the grounds of Mr. Morris, at Ridgrove,
within a short distance of the town. The usual
awards having been made, and the ordinary business
of the society disposed of, the members dined together
at two o'clock. About eighty gentlemen sat down to
an excellent dinner provided by Mrs. Bennett. Mr.
W. Lowndes, of the Bury, near Chesham, late high-
sheriff of the county, occupied the chair, and was
supported, among others, by Mr. B. Disraeli, M.P. ;
Mr. T. Tyringhatn Bernard, of Winchendon House;
Rev. E. N. Young, of Quainton ; Captain Blandy,
Captain Rose, Mr. E. Horwood, Mr. J. Howard, and

MAN.l.Oum DneecTon—Archibald Murdoch Burrell, Esq.
SECRETARY—James Murdoch, Esq.
The barony and estate of Islay, comprising the island of Islay
and small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and
Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most productive properties in
the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which
ea,ooo are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture.
The present rental of thls magnificent property amounts at present
to 20,000/.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex-
pended in drainage an improvements. The rents are periodically
and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and It is evident that
such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much
targer return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for
about 500,0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose,
and contingent expenses, of 600,0001., in 12,000 50/. shares, each
shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to
be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his
subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The
lent:tinder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years
amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the
estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000
nentinees it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business
of a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of
Profits.
Thus it will be sedn that every person taking a share in the Ton-
tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his
, teittnellt out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in-
terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of
idenercitlife assurance department (and the basis and guarantee
_lidicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and lucra-
tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years h's nominee
survives, in the accumulated and constantly improving rental; and,
411 the event of his nominee being the last survivor, will become
e absolute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also
to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the
marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en-
hanced.
The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con-
sidered by F. G. P. Neison, Esq , the eminent actuary of the Me-
Weal and Invalid Assurance Company, and received his entire ap-
probation. • •
The estate is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland.

Its 3 application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and induces

delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan,

rency of complexion. Ladies travelling or taking out-door exercise

Persons assured for the whole term of Life for 1001. and upwards,
in Great Britain or Ireland respectively, will be entitled at the end
of every fifth year (instead of every seventh year as heretofore) to
participate in the Surplus Premiums, either by Addition to their Po-
licies, or an equivalent Reduction will be made in the future pay-
ments of Premium, at the option of the Assured.
Policies may also be effected for the whole term of Life by alhnited
number of yearly payments.
ASSURANCES for SHORT PERIODS may now be effected in this
Office at considerably reduced rates of Premium.
The NEXT VALUATION will be made at Christmas, 1849, and
Policies effected before that date will participate in proportion to the
time they may then have been in force.
The Company's Rates and Proposals may be had at the Office in
London, or of any of the Agents in the Country, who are authorised
to report on the appearance of Lives proposed for Assurance.

Tie POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
he Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from die•
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated noon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PRE MIMI SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p aid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little mere than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
Ne Admission er Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life.
The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons,
approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in
connexion with this Company.

And iustly is thy fame unfurled.
Where'er we travel, far or near,
We cannot meet with thy compeer.

And many a bard has sung thy glory.

The admiration of the land.

With vast attractions do we meet.

FRABIPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the
possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to
with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness
occurring in families, more or less, every day, are so obvious to all,
that no question can be raised cf its importance to every householder
in the kingdom. From among namerous testimonials, the following
is respectfully submitted :
" To Mr. Thomas Pr mt, 229, Strand, London.

"No. 5, David-street, Regant-road,Mancheiter, March 12,1842.
" Sir,—l have much satisfixctien in communicating to you the re-
sult of my experience after repeated trials of Framptou's Pill of
Health ; and I feel it bu - justice to state, that in the course of many
years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results
at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from
redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am there-
fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means long,
wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe-
cially mercantile man, whether at the desk or on the road, a most
valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit
to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making
Frampton's P .t 3 more generally known and appreciated.—l am,

Sir, re,pectfully yours, WILLIAM SMITH."
The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest
recommendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit
from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary. They
are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is
liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well-
known attendants, Bilious and Sick llead•ache, Pain and Oppression
alter meals, tiiddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in the Head and
Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c.
Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary
effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy
action of the Liver, Bowels arid Kidneys will rapidly take place ;
and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance,
strength, activity, and renewed health, extending, to good old axe,
will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions
accompanying cask box.

i,ll One half the world are desolately single, and the other
aipposiag them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
ense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
-Itterthe latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
d caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret nn-
-ornprosing hang; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
Ind broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
of sods]. content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
lenient. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item

HEREFORD MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

HEREFORD, WEDNESDAY.—We continue our re-
port of yesterday's proceedings. There was no fea-
ture of attractive interest in the morning's music.
The Dettingen Te Deuin was not given in the solo
parts with that perfection which we were led to ex-
pect. This was manifest, too, in the quartett, " The
glorious company." There was a perceptible im-
provement in the Jubilate, and the magnificent gloria
patri was especially remarkable. The band is not a
large one, hut was excellently balanced ; the chorus
proved a highly efficient body. The anthem was
Dr. Boyce's " Blessed is he." Miss M. Williams and
Mr. Hobbs pleased much in the duet, "The Lord
shall preserve him ;" and Mr. Lockey and Mr. Phil-
lips also gave much satisfaction in the other duet,
" Here shall soft charity repair." Miss M. Williams
also rendered the solo, " I was eyes to the blind,"
with great sweetness and effect.
At the conclusion of morning prayers the Bishop of
Hereford delivered a sermon on behalf of the charity
for the relief of the widows and orphans of the clergy
of the diocese.

their treatment. This section is illustrated by Seventeen Coloured

PART IV. contains a Prescription for the Prevention of Blum%
by a simple application, by which the danger of infection is ob-
viated. This important part of the Work should not escape the
reader's notice.

The morning's service closed with Mendels
sohn's anthem, "Not unto us," a composition which
does not rank among the highest of the composer's
productions. The collection at the doors on behalf of
the charity amounted to 2371.
At the evening concert there was about an average
attendance, the room being about three parts filled.
The scheme was an attractive one. Mendelssohn's
overture, " Melusine," opened the concert, we believe,
for the first time, at these festivals. Beethoven's can-
tata
in praise of music followed. We believe this was
first set to a poem entitled " Der Glorrieche Augen-
blick" (the glorious moment), for one of the enter-
tainments given to the allied sovereigns at Vienna in
1841, when it was performed with great success.
Subsequently the music was adapted to a poem
called " Preis der Tonkunst." Both band
and vocalists did justice to the music. On
Madame Castellan making her appearance in the
orchestra in the recitative and air, " Whence art
thou, power of music ?" she was warmly received.
Mr. Willy's violin obligato was beautifully given.
The Misses Williams, Mr. Lockey, and Mr. Phillips
also distinguished themselves. Haydn's canzonette,
"-Now the dancing sunbeam play," was very chastely
sung by Miss Poole, and tastefully accompanied on
the pianoforte by Mr. Dove, organist to Worcester
Cathedral. The remainder of the concert was made
up of a selection from operas and other popular
works. Of these the great feature was Madame
Castellan's " Casta Diva," in which the prima donna
would have been encored had not her audience con-
sidered the arduous nature of the task which such a
repetition would have imposed. Miss Poole was
encored in Glover's song, " 'Twas a beautiful night,"
and the concert was brought to a close about mid-
night, after which there was a ball, which was kept
up for an hour or two longer.

CHILD MURDER.—Yesterday, Mr. M. H. Wakley
held an inquest, at the Three Jolly Gardeners, Hammer-
smith, on view of the body of a fine full grown male
child, which was found in a water-closet in the Mall,
Hammersmith. It appeared from the evidence of Jane
Robin, a married woman, residing next door to the Ship
Tavern, on the Mall, that about eight o'clock on Monday
evening last she discovered the body of the deceased in
the pan in the water•closet, at the back of her house.
She called in a police•constable, who bad some difficulty
in extricating the body, in consequence of the head
being jammed tightly in the pipe, which clearly proved
that considerable force must have been used. The wit-
ness added that on the previous Thursday evening a tall
female of dark complexion, dressed in half•mourning,
waited in witness's shop for upwards of two hours. She
had a bundle in her possession, which she endeavoured
to keep concealed; and after she had returned from the
water•closet witness noticed the bundle to be considrr-
, ably smaller. She appeared very ill, and said she had
come from Turnham-green. Sergeant Hancock, 10, T
division, said that a female answering the description
given by Mrs. Robins, took furnished lodgings, a few days
;ince, at Turnham-green, and she was seen to leave the
-house with something very bulky under her arm. The
landlady was suspicious that she had purloined some of
the bedding, and on searching the room traces of the
I ►firth of a child were found. The female had not since
see-n or heard of. The jury returned a verdict of
Wilful Murder against some person or persons un-
k Gown."

gentlemen, I remember the time when a change took
place with reference to the late corn laws, and, mind,
I am not going to give an opinion on the policy or
impolicy of that change. In addressing a few words
to you now on that subject, do not suppose that. I
wish to restore the state of things which existed I efore
the introduction of free trade, for I am not going to
say one word on which there need be any difference
of opinion among you, however gtneral your opinions,
be they Tory, Weig, or Radical.—(hear, hear.)
All that I ask is, that, as a general principle, you
should be prepared to stand by the land of England.
—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I remember that I
stated in another place.e-eand it was Lever disputed—
that we were subject to higher taxation than other
countries ; and I asked, therefore, why we should
be placed in a worse position than they were, and
called upon to meet a sudden and dangerous compe-
tition ? We were then asked, " Why are Sou afraid
of competition ? Where is the competition to come
from ?" Gentlemen, we all know now where the
competition is to come from—experience has an-
swered that question.—(Hear, Lear.) Well, it has
come as we said it would, and the consequence has
been as fatal as we anticipated it would be.—(Hear,
hear.) It is not my intention now to enter at all
into the policy of the change that was made in the
laws. I will even admit, for the sake of argument,
that the change was politic. All I ask you now to
admit is, what I am sure there will be no difference
of opinion upon—that the result has been accom-
plished.—(Hear, hear.) The question I am now
going to consider in the few observations which I
shall place before you is this—what, under present
circumstances, are we called upon to do? What
should be the policy of the landlords and the occupiers
to maintain as a class dependent upon agricultural
pursuits their fair position in the social scale ?
(Hear.) Gentlemen, I ventured, in the early part of
last session, as your representative, to call the atten-
tion of Parliament to the agricultural interests. I
ventured to break ground upon this topic, dismissing
as far as possible from attention the great change
which had occurred. That change had been carried
by a majority of the Legislature—had been sanctioned
by a test to which we all bow, however unwillingly,
and therefore I only asked this for the agricultural
interest—that, having been deprived of protection,
they should at least be allowed to enjoy the right of
not having to submit to taxation from which other
classes of the community are exempt.—(Cheers.) I
pointed out in my place in the House of Commons a
remarkable circumstance, which appeared not before
to have been observed, because it had not been placed
in a massive and aggregate form—that while the
agricultural population of England contributed their
fair quota to the 50,000,000/. and general taxa-
tion, they also paid a second revenue, equal to
12,000,0001., from which other classes were exempt.
This revenue is collected for purposes equally public
as the 50,000,000/., and in an age when we are told that
no class should have peculiar privileges, I ventured
to ask that the other classes should take their fair
share of this second revenue, at present entirely sad
dled on the agricultural body. Gentlemen, that
motion I brought forward at the commencement of
the last session, and I have sometimes been taunted
with the fact that I was not successful on that occa-
sion. Gentlemen, it is very difficult to obtain success
on a first attempt. It is very rare that in a first
campaign a complete victory is obtained. It took the
Duke of Wellington seven campaigns to beat the
French in the Peninsula; but the result of those
campaigns was to secure a peace which has never
yet ceased.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, it appears to me
most encouraging that on first bringing my plan
forward it was supported by 200 Members of the
House of Commons, though it was not backed by
any feeling out of doors, because the farmers
were disheartened, dispirited, and discouraged.
What, however, was the consequence of my
bringing forward that motion ? Why, not
a month passed but some other party got
up and recognised the justice off' its principle and
the propriety of the motion, by bringingforward some
petty plan of his own —(Hear.) Gentlemen, this is
not a moment for disputing about details—this is not
a moment for considering how far a plan can be car-
ried ; but I believe a general feeling is diffusing itself
throughout the public mind, that the agricultural in-
terest has been most unfairly treated.—(Hear.) No
one has ever yet answered that part of my argument
relative to the second revenue. No one has dared to
say that the maintenance of the poor is not a-national
duty ; indeed it is a religious duty, and a duty which
we ought all equally to participate in performing.—
(Hear.) Gentlemen, I say at the present day it is
most imperative that the agricultural body should
seek for an equality of taxation with other members
of the community. That is a primary point to be
accomplished.— (Cheers.) It is of no use complaining;
it is of no use indulging in general observations; it is
of no use making plaintive allusions to the past in
holding out encouraging prospects for the future. I
shall confine myself to the present, and, locking at
circumstances as they exist, see what can be
done to improve our condition. 1 sm cer-
tain that there ought to be an equal adjustment
of local taxation, or rather what is called local,
though it is in reality national taxation ; and if that
were obtained, as in all justice it ought to be ob-
tained, considerable relief would at once be given to
the agricultural interest. But, gentlemen, that would
not be sufficient, even if we obtain that end, and it
cannot he obtained without your support. I consider
that that would effect but a slight benefit compared
with the great loss we have experienced. Gentlemen,
I am disposed to believe after having, as your repre-
sentative, given the subject the most grave and con-
stant consideration, that if you persevere in endeavour-
ing to obtain your rights you will ultimately find
substantial, considerable, and even complete relief.—
(Loud cheers) Gentlemen, there is nothing more
important in life, especially in public life, than to
have a principle to guide you.—(Cheers) It will
simplify everything, and, when acted upon, decide the
most complex and most perplexing questions. If you
have a principle to guide you, no matter how ex-
traordinary the Gordian knot, it will, be almost in-
stantly cut. Apply this sentiment to the position of
the agricultural body on the present occasion. I
believe that all agree that, in justice to your interests,
taxation should be equal.—(Hear.) That is our prin-
ciple.—(Hear.) Gentlemen, I will now call your atten-
tion to another tax which has been much dwelt upon,
and the unjust arrangement of that tax. You all
know that farmers pay double the poor-rates paid by
the other classes, and public opinion has already given
a verdict that that should not be allowed, so that be-
fore long a settlement of that question may be ex-
pected which will do justice to the agricultural body.
—(Hear.) I am now, however, anxious to call your
attention to a tax which, in its arrangement, is most
unjust. No doubt every gentleman present has heard
of, and many of you pay, the land-tax. This tax is
so levied, that the county of Buckingham pays Is. sd.
in the pound on the rental of the land, while other
counties infinitely more populous, arid infinitely more
rich, pay 2d. in the pound. You are, therefore, called
upon to pay an undue amount of the land-tax. Mind,
I am not speaking of that portion of the land-tax
which has been redeemed, because that is always
brought forward by our opponents to perplex the
question, because in nothing that I propose do I wish
to disturb any public compact which has been entered
into. One-third of the land-tax has been redeemed,
and therefore no longer presses upon the soil, but
two-thirds remain to be paid, and produce more than
1,000,0001. annually.—(Hear, hear.) Now, it pro•
duces ls. sd. in the pound in Buckinghamshire, and
only 2d. in the pound in the county of Lancaster, and
one farthing in the pound in Liverpool. I ask you,
then, where is the equality of that taxation ? The
inequality, however, is not peculiar to Buckingham-
shire, for I was speaking to a gentleman from Hert-
fordshire on the subject before I entered this room,
and I find that in his county they pay Is. 6d. in the
pound. I have alluded to Hertfordshire, because I
do not wish to confine the consideration of the sub-
ject merely to Buckinghamshire. I will also take a
border county—the county of Bedford—where I find
the tax is ls. 6d. in the pound, while in .Northampton,
another brother county, it is more than ls., while in
Berkshire, a sister county, it is Is. 31. Then, again,
in the remaining twenty agricultural counties, in-
cluding Somersetshire, Kent, Devonshire, and even
Essex—from which a petition, signed by 25,000 per-
sons in favour of eitial taxation, was sent to Parlia-
ment, that petition being given to me to present by
their own county Members, because I had originally,
brought the question forward—in those twenty agri-
cultural counties the average of the land-tax is but
little under Is. in the pouud.—(Hear, hear.) Having
given you these facts, which I have drawn from
official documents, I will put before you the conclu-
sions to which I have come. If the land-tax was
levied throughout the country at the same rate as in
Buckinghamshire, and that is not so high as in Hert-
fordshire or Bedfordshire, instead of realising
1,000,0001., it would realize s,ooo,oool.—(Hear,
hear.) Mind, I am not proposing anylt new w taxop
posed to the spirit of the age,
this I have
a of those who have
equaliza-
tion of a tax which already exibsutst,uanna?inh (Ise
a right to anticipate the s
declared themselves in favour of equal taxation and
financial reform ; for " out of thy own mouth will I
judge thee." All that I ask is that the tax upon land,
which has been ,already sanctioned by Parliament by
an ancient Act, shall be levied throughout the country

After the usual loyal and routine tcasts had been
disposed of,
Mr. DISRAELI, M.P., next rose, and was received
with prolonged cheering. When silence had been
restored, he said—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, since
I have had the pleasure of being in this room it has
been signified to me that I am expected to propose a
toast which I did not suppose would have fallen to my
lot. I accept the duty, however, with pleasure, be-
cause it enables me to perform an office, howeverim-
perfectly, which is most gracious in every respect to
my feelings, for it is to propose success to that insti-
tution—that society—the formation of which we are
met to celebrate—the Royal Bucks Agricultural Asso-
ciation.— (Hear, hear.) More than one gentleman
who has preceded me has remarked with pride that
he was present at the birth of this association. I can
hardly claim any share in such a boast, but I can at
least say that I rocked its cradle.—(Cheers.) In
183 G I was requested by the committee of this asso-
ciation to draw up a petition to Parliament respecting
the agricultural distress then existing in the county
of Buckingham ; which petition was duly presented.
I agree with my excellent friend Mr. Young, that
those persons very little understand the nature of
these associations who speak lightly of their object.—
(Hear, hear.) I remember that this society was ori-
ginally formed in the first place for the protection of
agriculture, and although politics are very properly
excluded from our meetings, I hope I am not depart-
ing from the rules when I say that it was for the
protection of agriculture, whether from extreme and
unlimited competition, or from legislative restrictions,
for I take it for granted that every gentleman here,
whatever his political feelings may be, is of opinion
that agriculture should be protected.—(Hear,hear.) I believe also that skilful agriculture is
most found where the farmer promotes a feeling of
independence and competition among his labourers.
As a practical result, this association offers
prizes to individuals who have displayed their agri-
cultural skill, or their prudence and independence in
bringing up their families. Although the prizes we
offer must always necessarily be limited in amount, as
compared with the degree of moral virtue which they
seek to reward, and though, therefore, they are open
to the ridicule of the vulgar, the sneers of the malig-
nant, and the observations of all who are ignorant of
the routine of rural life, still I can say from my own
experience that in this county they have acted most
beneficially—have given a stimulus to good conduct
on the part of our agricultural population—(Hear,
hear)—are looked forward to by the labouring com-
munity with interest, and are received with feelings of
gratitude.—(Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, although
one of the objects of these societies, and in particular
of the Royal Bucks Association, which has given a
tone to many others throughout the country, is to
reward good conduct in the humbler classes of the
community, still we are all aware that our first duty,
if not at all times successful in influencing public
opinion, is of course to attend to the interests of
agriculture itself.—(Hear, hear.) Because, if agri-
culture fails, of what avail will it he to offer rewards
to skilful ploughmen when there are no lands to
plough ? What will be the use of giving premiums
to faithful servants when there are no masters
remaining to engage and employ them ?—(Hear,
hear.) To protect the claims of the agri-
cultural interest was the original intention
of this society, and the rewards we now give, how-
ever interesting and valuable, in consequence of the
influence they exercise upon the labouring commu•
nity, are only secondary to the first duty which
called this association into existence, viz., to watch
over the state of agriculture and the agricultural
community ; and as far as our exertions can effect it,
to do our best to promote in the broadest manner the
advantage of the great landed interests of the country.
—(Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, we have always taken
care, in this association, that party politics should
not interfere with our meetings, and I, for my part,
wish to regard this rule most strictly ; and I appeal
to all who have paid any attention to our proceedings,
whether it has not hitherto been honourably and
rigidly observed.—(Hear.) Nevertheless, I have
remarked a feeling to prevail in this country that our
society is formed for party objects. I ascribe this
unfounded but too prevalent idea to this reason—that
the constitution of this association is not so compre-
hensive and broad as it might have been. I could
have wished that it had exercised a decided influence
on the skilful cultivation of the soil, and could be
shown to be a society which, by the stimulus it held
out to improved agriculture, had a claim to become a
great example to England, as it has been in many
other respects.—(Hear.) But, gentlemen, one thing
is clear, that although party politics are not to be
allowed to interfere with our proceedings—although
we are not here to consider the measures of either
Whig, Tory, or Radical, still it is our bounden duty,
as well as our chief right, when we associate together,
to consider the position of the body of which we are
members, and to endeavour clearly to understand the
position we occupy.—(Loud cheers.) Otherwise,
drinking the toast which I am about to propose to you
would be a mere idle ceremony.—(Hear, hear.)
We all understand the objects of the other toasts
which have been proposed to you. We have ex-
pressed our loyalty to the Crown—we have expressed
our devotion to the Church—and we have shown our
respect to the great military and naval services of the
country, and all of us have come forward with hearty
good feeling to do honour to my excellent friend and
high-spirited neighbour who fills the chair to-day.—
(Loud cheers.) These, gentlemen, have been genuine,
sincere, and real toasts, and I want to know why the
toast I am now to propose, of " Prosperity to the Royal
Bucks Association," which is all-important as far as
most of us are concerned, should not be equally ge-
nuine, real, and sincere.—(Cheers.) It can be neither
if we shut our eyes to the position in which we are
placed at this moment. Gentlemen, it is impossible for
any man to forget that position, and though I am not
going to enter into the merits of any measures, or
inquire into the causes which have-produced that posi-
tion, it would be all but impossible for any man in
this room to forget, or not to see, the great changes
which have occurred since I last addressed you.—(A
Voice—" We feel it.") It is impossible to forget
that at this moment the agricultural interest is in a
state of great sufTering—(Cries of " That's true")—
and that if we came here merely to drink the toast
which lam about to propose, and consider every
point connected with agriculture except the purses of
the farmers, we should be depreciating and degrading
the objects of this association, and our meeting wculd
be without object or an end.—(Uheers.) Indeed, it
would be infinitely inferior to the meeting which is to
take place here tomorrow to promote improvement in
the production of dahlias,—(Cheers and laughter.)
That is a meeting which I should be most happy to
attend, and which I sin glad is to occur, but it would
rank higher in point of design than this meeting if,
with all our expressed enthusiasm for agriculture,
there was not one present who had the courage to
meet fairly the present position of the agricultural
interest of the country.—(Loud cheers.) I have
told you that I do not mean to enter into the cause,
or consider the cause of that position, but I cannot
allow the opportunity to pass without stating a fact
which none can question—that the position of that
interest is one of unprecedented peril and difficulty.
The question which naturally arises is what shall we
do ? Unless then we discuss that question what
would be the use of this meeting ? There can be no
doubt that everybody here sympathises. in that ques-
tion.—(Hear, hear.) My opinion is, that we had
better not meet at all, looking at the present position
of the country, and especially of the agricultural in-
terest, if, in the county town of a great agricultural
community—if among those classes which ought to be
the most respectable and influential of the country—
we were to make no allusion to our position.—(Hear,
hear.) I can only consider that, in so meeting, we
should be offering assistance and putting arms into
the hands of our enemies, and making ourselves the
objects, and, under the circumstances, the just
objects, of public contempt.—(Cheers.) Now, gen-
tlemen, what are we to do ? How are we to meet
the crisis ? How are the farmers of England to re-
sume that position which used to be their boast ? We
have been deprived by the Legislature of that pro-
tection which we believed w e were entitled to, and
which we believed conducive to our prosperity?
How are we to meet the altered circumstances
which we have been called upon by the Legislature
to incur ? That is the question. It is no use for us
to meet here and blink it ; for, should we blink it
to-day or to-morrow, depend upon it the hour will
come when we must encounter it.—(Cheers.) Now,

[PRICE 5De

in the same
,proportion as in Buckinghamshire, for,
though the tax presses heavily on the agricultural
districts, it does not press on Manchester, Liverpool,
or Brighton.—(Hear.) Gentlemen, suppose we hsel
this equalization, of the land-tax, and the consequent
5,000,0001., the question arises what shall we do
with it ? We have with this money the means,
in my opinion, of raising the agriceh ure of
England from its depression, so that the landed
interest should fli,d itself in that Position in
which, as long as I live, I will lahour to place it.—
(Cheers) Now, gentlemen, I believe I have applied
myself to showing you our recent position. It is not
denied that our present position is most depressed, but
vsrlat do our oKonents tell ? They tell us we must
improve our present system of culture—that we must
exercise more skill—and that we runt employ more
capital.—(A Voice—" We have none ; it is all
gone.") Tiiat it is possible to improve our present
system of cultivation 1 am not one to deny. I believe
that every thing may be made the source of improve-
ment, and that the more you improve the more room
there is for further improvement.—(Hear, hear.) I
ask you what is improvement but realised intelli-
gence, and the instant you increase that intelligence
you increase the means of exercising it. No doubt,
therefore, the agriculture of England is capable of
improvement ; but this I will say, whatever the faults
—whatever room there is for improvement, the agri-
culture of England is the most skilful that has ever
existed, and that I will prove by the simple fact, that
in no other country in Europe has so much been
raised from the soil as in England, and that the
quantity raised in this country is one-third more
than in any part of the United States. I make
these observations to show that though I admit there
may be room for improvement, the depression which
exists is not caused by your own fault. It is very
easy to say that there is room for improvement, that
you must apply more skill and capital to agriculture ;
but I want to see the man come forward and show
me the way in which you are to get the amount
necessary under ordinary circumstances for that pur-
pose.—(Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, if we carry out
these ideas, aand if the land-tax be fairly levied
throughout the counties of England, we shall have,
instead of 1,000,0001. of capital, 5,000,000/. in hand.
Well, then, what shall we do with it? Why, in the
old days we should have had some one coming for-
ward and proposing the abolition of a single and
paltry tax, which, while it woold be a great blow to
the revenue, would individually give you scarely any
relief. Is that the means by which to regenerate the
imperilled agriculture of England? Certainly not.
' What I propose as a remedy is this—that the
5,000,0001. should form a sinking fund, not a borrowed,
but a real sinking fund, which, safely in hand, would,
in less than ten months, raise Consols above par,
and thus enable landlords to borrow money
to apply to their land at 3 per cent.,
instead of paying, as they now do, 4 and 4}
per cent. Then the farmer could go to his banker or
neighbour and obtain from him, at a reasonable rate,
the capital he required for the improvement of the
sail.—(Hear, hear.) There, gentlemen, is your
remedy—equal taxation and cheap capital. Mind,
when I say cheap capital, I am not recommending
you to depreciate your coin or adopt a paper currency,
which could not easily be converted into gold. If
my recommendation was adopted the public credit
would be maintained—it would give to the farmer
independence, and remove from their present state of
depression the landlords of this country, who could
then obtain all the capital they required for the im-
provement of their estates at a light rate of interest.
—(Hear, hear.) And, gentlemen, if you do not
obtain that relief which the country has a right to
grant you, then we must consider what we ought to
do next. I am not one of those who think it advisable
to have many irons in the fire at the same time.—
(Hear.) If you can at this period next year obtain
the capital you require at 3 per cent., and if you are
relieved of one-half your poor-rates, you will be better
able to stem the torrent than you are at present.
If you do not obtain these advantages, then we must
consider whether, if the taxes are to be paid, it is
not better that they should be paid by the foreigner
than by Englishmen.—(Cheers.) When parties turn
round upon you and say ;hat yon don't know what
you want, that you offer no particular objections,
answer them in these words :—" We want equal tax-
ation and cheap capital."—(Hear, hear.) If you make
this your political creed for the future it will bring
you to a state of prosperity which, in this dark hour,
it is notjeasy to contemplate.—(Hear.) You ask how
is this to be obtained ? I answer by showing what
power you possess, and by co-operating to obtain the
changes which I recommend.—(Hear.) Why, the
very fact that 200 Members of the House of Com-
mons supported my motion on this subject during the
present session, without any exercise of extraneous
influence, shows how great is your power.—(Hear.)
Let the farmers of England but take the matter in
hand, and next year those 200 gentlemen will he
increased to 300, for at present they cannot exactly
see which way the cat leaps.—(Cheers and laughter.)
This is only the month of September, and the pre-
sent is perhaps the first agricultural meeting that
has been held during the present season ; if you
will only meet, therefcre, and demand equal tax-
, ation and cheap capital—if you will only deter-
' mine that the poor of England shall be supported by
the whole of England, and not by particular localities
—if yon will go about and show the inequality of
the land-tax, and insist that it be assessed throughout
the country in the same ratio as in the county of
Buckingham, be assured, if you call for these things
with a great voice, you will not be refused them, but
the justice of your claim will be admitted throughout
the length and breadth of the land.—(Cheers.) Gen-
tletnen, it is truly a very difficult thing to commence
a "new agitation," and never more difficult than when
undertaken by a dispirited, defeated, and, I may
almost say, a deserted party. But I am sure that the
course I recommend, acted upon with moderation,
will bring about results not now contemplated to the
landed interest of this country, because it is mortified,
suffering, and depressed.—(Hear, hear.) I have met
you before in times of gloom that might have quailid
the spirit of bolder men. What did we do then ?
Why, we resolved to act.—(Cheers.) This very
association, whose health I am about to propose, has
before now set an example to the people of England.
—(Cheers.) I have no wish to refer to past legisla-
tive enactments, but I may be permitted to state that
—right or wrong—in 1831.2, when a great political
change was made in the representative system of the
country, the farmers of Buckinghamshire stood up
in the defence of their privileges. You thought
that if great parties in the country were to be en-
franchised, the farmers of England had as great a
claim as any other persons—your demand was ri-
fused. You insisted, and you obtained a great and
substantial benefit.—(Cheers.) There were many
despaired of your success at that time, but solve
thought that the struggle of a great party like yours
might prove successful, and so it proved. The same
spirit should therefore uphold you now.—(Hear,
hear.) This is one of the first agricultural meetings
which have been held throughout the country, and
the gentlemen of England will look at what takes
place in this room with the deepest interest.—(Hear,
hear.) Let the people of England then know that,
in this age of financial reform, the counties of Eng-
land are determined to have " equal taxation and
cheap capital."—(Cheers.) And depend upon it who
the principles on which your claim is based, and the
unanswerable facts by which it is supported, beconie
known—when it is seen that a second revenue of
12,000,0001. is raised by the farmers of England, and
that the agricultural districts pay a tax of ls. 6d. in
the pound on their rental, while many towns 'pay ng-
thing at all, and that not by a mere tax, but by an equil
adjustment of an old tax, a sinking fund may be oli•
tained, which would act upon the price of money,
not contributing to agriculture only, but subject to
the application of the severest principles of justice—
, these great principles will make their way in the
minds of intelligent determined men, and when they
come to be supported by the farmers of England they
will soon be sanctioned by the House of Commons.—
(Cheers.) Why, gentlemen, everything must have
a beginning. Let us but continue to have meetings
as encouraging as this, and great results mustin
wevite-
ably follow.—(Hear, hear.) Remember that
never should have had ship money done away with if
Buckinghamshire gentlemen, and adve

have been suppressed but for the energy of a
Igßuck-
'n hamsbire gentleman, Mr. Burke, who lived at
Beaconsfield—(Hear, hear)—and the farmers of
England would never have been enfranchised if a
Buckinghamshire gentleman, who lived at Wotton,
and whose absence to-day we all deeply deplore-
--when all else despaired of success—bad not stepped
forward and procured justice for the British farmer.
—(Cheers.) If, then, for more than two centuries

game is in your own hands. I call upon you to dis-
miss the past—not to look to the future, but to lock
only at the present.—(Hear.) You are called upon
to pay a tax which no other class of your countrymen
pay, and this is an age when no peculiar privileges
are allowed to any class.—(Hear.) I, for one, object to
the privilege of paying peculiar taxes.—(Hear.) If you

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE AD.
VANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.

BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY.—The proceedings of
the nineteenth meeting of this association have com-
menced suspiciously. On the last occasion, when its
members assembled in Birmingham, it was reasonably
feared that, in consequence of the riots and fires in
the Bull-ring, which occurred only a few weeks
previously, failure was inevitable. There can be no
doubt that the untoward events which immediately.
preceded the meeting of the Association of 1838 con-
siderably damaged its success ; and apprehensions
were entertained that the scientific gentlemen of Bir-
mingham would hesitate before they again invited the
members of the Association to meet within its pre-
cincts. But these fears were ill-founded. The last
meeting of the British Association in Birmingham
was, in comparison, with some preceding ones in.
other towns, successful, and, as shown upon the
present occasion, has not in the slightest degree
dispirited its local supporters. Suspicions of ill.
success have also preceded the present meeting. It
was imagined that after the excitement produced by
the musical festivities of last week, that the public
mind could not be sufficiently subdued for the enter-
tainment and discussions of questions of abstract
and abstruse science. The reception-room—the pic-
ture gallery of the Society of Arts in New-street, ad-
mirably selected far such a purpose—dissipated this
notion, for amongst its visitors, yesterday and this
morning, might be found some of the most learned
and distinguished men of this and other countries.
The noblemen and gentlemen whose names are an-
nounced as having arrived are—The Marquis of
Northampton, Lord Lifford, the Earl of Harrowby,
the Right Rev. Bishop of Worcester, the Right Rev.
Bishop of Oxford, Sir David Brewster, E. R. Daniel),
Esq., Thomas Ellison, Esq., Robert Hutton, Esq.,
Robert Hunter, Esq , Rev. E. Stanley Ireland, John
Lee, LL.D., F.R.S., Robert M'Adams, Esq., Profes-
sor Phillips, W. Gilbert, F.R.S., W. Jukes, M.A.,
F.R.S., F. Russell, Esq., Dr. Rojet, F.R.S., Pro-
fessor Stevelly, Colonel Sabine, Colonel Sykes, G.
W. Ormerod, M.A., F.G.S., Joseph Hodgson,
F.R.S., General Consul for France, Sir H. de la
Beche, James Heywood, E.g., M.P., Sir C. Lyell,
F.R.S., Professor Sedgwick, and Robert Stevenson,
Esq., M.P. Amongst those for whom letters are
waiting at the reception-room, at the time of writing
are Professor Wheatstone, Professor Walker, Pro-
fessor Willis, Professor Owen, the Dean of West-
minster, LordWrottersley, Professor Rogers, Professor
Stevelly, their Excellencies the French and Prussian
Ambassadors, Sir C. Malcolm, Dr. Latham, Dr. Lan-
caster, Sir C. Lemon, the Dean of Llandaff, M. D.
Hill, Esq., Q.C., Viscount Adare, Professor Alison,
Professor Anstead, Professor Allman, Captain Sic
Edward Beecher, Mr. F. S. Bolton, Chas. Babington,
Esq., and C. G. B. Daubeny, M.D. The greats st
attention was paid to the strangers upon their entrance
into the reception ro:An. Colonel Sabine and Professor
Phillips, the general secretaries, together with Capt.
Tindal, W. Wills, Eq., Dr. Ball Fletcher, and J. T.
Chance, Esq., local secretaries, were indefatigable in
affording all information necessary for visitors.
The first general committee held its meeting in
the library of the Free Grammar School to-day at
one o'clock, for the purpose of electing sectional
ofTi-
cers, end the dispatch of business usually brought
before that body. The Marquis of Northampton
occupied the chair, having on his right the Rev. T
Robinson,R. D.D., M.R.1.A., F.R.A.S., the Pre. i:
dent for the ensuing year, and J. Taylor, Esq., the
venerable treasurer of the association.

The meeting was very thinly attended. This might
be attributable to its simple formality. There were
not present more than a dozen gentlemen, connected
by residence or profession with the town of Bir-
mingham.
As usual upon such occasions, Mr. Phillips, the
secretary and chemical professor, read the minutes of
the last two meetings of the association, the last of
which took place in South Wales. They were duly
confirmed.

Colonel SABINE aid he had a few words to address
to the committee. In considering the arrangements
necessary to make for the present meeting, they had
made an omission which he and the council were
anxious to supply. When the British Association
held their meeting in Birmingham ten years ago, they
were received with the greatest courtesy and kindness
by a reverend gentleman, then the head master of the
school in which they were assembled. That reverend
gentleman, Dr. Lee, was now Bishop of Manckester.
He begged leave to move that the Bishop of Man-
chester be added to the list of vice-presidents.
Sir R. J. MURCISISON seconded the nomination of
Dr. Lee, which was carried unanimously.
Mr. PniLurs, the secretary, next proceeded to read
the report fur the last year. It referred chiefly and
more particularly to the observatories, and magnetical
and meteorological apparatuses at Toronto and Kew.
In connexion with this subject the re-
port stated that the council had great pleasure
in announcing to the general committee that her
Majesty's Government, on the joint application of the
Marquis of Northampton and Sir John Herschel, had
granted to Mr. Ronalds a pecuniary recompense of
2501. per annum for the invention of his method of
constructing self-registering magnetical and meteoro-
logical apparatus. The report proceeded to state that
this grant was made in consequence of the arrange-
ment of the British Association; and as the apparatus
had been constructed, and its successful operation
shown at the observatory of the Association, of which
Mr. Ronalds was the superintendent, the council bad
deemed it proper to make this formal announcement;
but they were glad, at the same time, of taking the
opportunity of expressing the satisfaction with which
they had learned that the ingeniousinen_tioons
3.00,ff Mr.oo
Brooks had also received a pecuniary recompense from
the Government. The committee also regretted thlt
they were unable to announce the publication either
of Professor Forbes's researches in the 2Egean Sea,
or of the Mountjoy Observations, for which, purpose
r
grants of public money had been sanctioned
Majesty's Government, at the recommendation

also in hand stock in the Three per Cent. Consols, to
the amount of 3,500/.

There were, it appeared, numerous applications
from various towns in the kingdom, for the holding•
of the meetings of the Association in the next, and
even in succeeding years. Edinburgh, Bath, and
Derby, claim pref, rence for 1850 ; Belfast for 1850
or 1851 ; Manchester for 1852 ; and Hull as early as
possible.

Colonel SABINE, apparently to the regret of bis
associates, announced his resignation of the office of
secretery, and left the appointment of his successor
altogether in the hands of the general committee.
No successor was appointed, nor even mentioned.
The officers of the various sections were next ap-
pointed. Professor Sedgwick was excused from the
office to which he was elected in consequence of
expected domestic engagements.
The retirement of the old President (Lord North-
ampton), and the inauguration of the new one (the
Rev. Dr. Robinson), take place at the Town-hall
to-night.
