LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1841.

English landlords are renowned all over the
world, according to their flatterers, for theif
cleverness and generosity, and English farmers
are, on the same authority, equally renowned for
their English clergyman, however,
the Resvk.Ch. CLARK,
speakinglikt the Harleston
Farmers' Club, on the 2Gth ult., and speaking
apparently with knOwledge on the subject, asserts
that the agricultural "improvements are, beyond
comparison, greater in Scotland than in this
country," and he assigns as a reason that in
Scotland long leases are given on corn rents.
" The farmer there, for the first ten years,"
he says, " cultivates as he pleases, and during
the last four years he comes under the rotation
system prescribed by the lease." "He is bound
by his covenants," says a Mr. HARVEY, the Se-
cretary to the Club, " to leave the land in as
good a condition as he found it." The Scotch
farmers are, by this testimony, superior to the
English ; and now. the English farmers shall, in
their turn, testify to the cleverness and genero-
sity of our English landowners.
According to the Harleston Farmers' Club the

" COMPULSORY PLOUGHING by which tenants are
bound in their leases is iidudicious and unneces-
sary." Compulsory ploughing ! What! are
farmers bound to plough their ground when it is
injudicious and unnecessary? Yes, says the
Secretary to that Club,' speaking of Norfolk,
one of the best cultivated parts of England;
" the leases are constructed on pretty much
the same form as those of two centuries
ago, and what were considered good covenants in
those days are not so. considered (by the farmers)
now." A JOHN GEDNEY, Esq., at the same
meeting, bore similar testimony. "It was the
custom," he said, " of his part of the country,
that farmers were compelled to plough four times
a year." He was ready to prove that it would
be advantageous to both farmer and landlord
that the latter " should not be compelled to
plough up his land." The farmers of England,
then, are compelled, at this day, by their clever
and generous landlords, to cultivate the soil
under certain covenants in their leases, according
,to the custom of the county, as it was cultivated,
according to Mr. HARVEY, two centuries ago.
Well might the Rev. C. CLARK say—
Why should a farmer be told whether he shall grow
wheat or whether he shall grow turnips ; where he shall '
lay his manure, or wlien he shall lay it on, whether the
land requires it or not ? I believe there is no other body
in England, manufacturers or others, who are dictated to
in that manner. Manufacturers, like every other class but
farmers, are left to the exercise of their own judgment.

This, however, is not quite all. According to
the same Reverend authority, farmers, lest they
should frighten the game, are " restricted from
cutting their fences under a certain number of
years," and, " when the fences are allowed to
grow, a considerable quantity of land is lost, and
the farmer loses one-third of his crop." The
farmers of England, therefore, are at this time
the slaves of an antiquated and ignorant system,
and are compelled, in many respects, to cultivate
the soil as it was cultivated two centuries ago.
At present this is a very serious consideration
for the con-ununity, which is obliged, by a bread-

tax, to pay the expense of the cultivation. In
what condition would our manufactures be were
they conducted according to the knowledge of
the year 1640 ? They would be nearly the last
instead of the first of the world. Our agriculture
is not the last, because the improvements which
our manufactures have introduced—(and it will
be recollected that those improvements have
mainly sprung up in the cotton manufacture,
which owed no allegiance to the ancient
guilds and apprentice laws of Europe)—
have extended their beneficial effects to
agriculture. Nevertheless, though not the
last, owing to such restrictions our agriculture is
much behind. Money and labour, according to
the testimony of the Harleston Club, are wasted
on injudicious and unnecessary, but compulsory
ploughing. Money and land are wasted, ac-
cording to the Rev. Mr. CLARK, by compelling
the farmers to allow their hedges to grow for a
certain number of years. Money and labour,
therefore, are wasted in providing the neces-
sary supply of food for the community. The
cost of the production of corn in England is
much increased ; we cannot grow it—how should
we with such management ?—as cheap as
other countries; and Corn-laws are maintained,
because the farmers must preserve game, and
lose a third of their crops, and because they ar•
compelled to plough, injudiciously and unneces.
sarily, four times a year, according to the custom
two centuries ago. So the people are plundered
and starved, because the stupid or wilful land-
owners are unwilling to promote, or desirous to
prevent, improvements in agriculture.
We are bound, on this occasion, to tell the
public emphatically, that such conduct on the
part of the landowners of England is nothing
new. We learn from a little] work, called
"Political Arithmetic," written about 1660, by Sir
HENRY PETTY, the founder of the LANSDOWNE
family, and first published by the first Lord
SHELBURNE, that the landowners of his time were
afflicted at the great abundance of provisions
which then prevailed, and complained of
the cultivation of clovers and other green
crops, and sought to check it. In truth,
the landlords, as such, have never been
the actual cultivators of the soil, and they
have always looked with as much envy on the
fortunes made 'by their serf or middle class
tenants, as on the fortunes made by citizens or
manufacturers. Every farthing gained from cul-
tivating the soil they have regarded as their
property, and they have always tried, by binding
down the farmers, to prevent them from making
improvements and gaining all that they possibly
Could from the soil.

We rejoice to see the Norfolk farmers are be-
coming sensible of the vile slavery to which
their landlords subject them. The Harleston
Farmers' Club unanimously agreed to two resolu-
tions, declaring in substance that
Many of the clauses in the existing system of leases
compelling a fixed mode of cultivation, are unnecessary
and injudicious; they tend to render skill and science of
less value, because any deviation from the lease is effected
at the risk of a heavy penalty; and-that these compulsory
directions, given at the commencement of a lease, and
extending through a term of years, over a variety of
soils, and still greater variety of seasons, cannot be so
efficacious in promoting the best system of husbandry,
as leaving the details of each operation to the skill and
judgment of the occupier.

We believe not; indeed; and as the farmers
are becoming somewhat enamoured, and justly,
of the principle of freedom in cultivating the
soil, we hope they will extend their liking to
other branches of industry, and adopt the opi-
nion that compulsory directions, extending
through a long term of years over an immense
variety of occupations, prohibiting buying here,
and selling there, cannot be so efficacious in pro-
moting the public welfare as leaving every man
at full liberty to buy and sell where he likes
according to his own skill and judgment. Our
extracts, we must state in conclusion, are made
from the Norwich Mercury.

The spirit which prevails among the clergy of
almost every denomination in this country, forms
a striking and alarming feature of the age.
While the people of Spain and Portugal, for-
merly the most bigoted and most submissive to
the will of the priesthood, . have thrown off the
yoke, and in most other States the influence of
the Church is on the decline, here the reverse is
the case. The Catholic priests in Ireland, if we
take Mr. O'CONNELL as authority, are furious
against ESPARTERO, and friendly to the cause of
the EX-QUEEN REGENT, simply because the for-
mer has stript the clergy of their usurped power
and enormous wealth, while the latter would
bring back the glorious days of ignorance, super-
stition, and slavery. In England the rage
for the doctrines of Popery is spreading among
the clergy of the Established Church to a fright_
ful extent ; the Bible, and the Prayer-book are
looked upon as old almanacs, and the traditions
and fictions of the men who paved the way for
the dominion of the Romish hierarchy, and the
thraldom of the dark ages, are, in their eyes, the
only sure guides. In Scotland a system of
priestly dominion, unequalled during the worst
period of the Inquisition, already prevails. Under
the pretence of giving the people the free
choice of their clergymen, and of honouring the
ALMIGHTY by the most scrupulous observance of
the Jewish Sabbath, the Non-Intrusionist clergy
have committed acts of oppression, which, if
perpetrated by the civil power, would
have raised a rebellion. In the course of
a few days in the mouth of May last they
deposed ten clergymen, and threaten to
punish in a similar way some two hundred
more, because their tyrannical edicts are not im-
plicitly obeyed ; they are interfering incessantly
with the rights of private property, endeavour-
ing to shut up railroads on Sunday, imprisoning
respectable shopkeepers for refusing to observe
the Jewish Sabbath, and withholding the rites of
the Church from others whom they cannot
bring within the grasp of some obsolete or local
Act. The scene which occurred at Arbroath the
other day, reported at length in The Sun, exhi-
bits these arch-hypocrites in a light which can-
not be mistaken. A farm labourer, longamember
of the Established Church, had buried his child on
a Sunday, a practice hitherto common in Scotland,
and, for:performing this sacred work ofnecessity,
he was excommunicated by the clergyman, stig-
matised as a criminal, and forced to appeal to the
Presbytery for redress. This body contained a
majority of spiritual tyrants of the same starnp:;
they of course sympathised with the oppressor,
attempted to exclude the public from the Guild-

hall where they met, and finding the people dis-
obedient, one of the fathers of the Inquisition
held up the terrors of the Church, and threatened
to deal with them for resisting his spiritual au.

thority. All attempts, however, were vain, the
audience kept their seats, . and laughed him to
scorn, and the Presbytery having finished the sit-
tine by prayer (in the true style of the Spanish In-
quisition), marched off in a body to a hotel,
where another prayer was said, and the mock
investigation was about to commence in secret
conclave. The petitioner, however, declined
their authority, and appealed to a higher Court.
In this disgraceful transaction there is one circum-
stance which affords matter for beartycongratula-
lation. It was all the work of the priests. The people
unanimously took part with „their oppressed
fellow-parishioner, and we have no doubt will
stand by him until the excommunication is re-
moved or the Church deserted. They begin to
see that that the cry for Non-Intrusion means
only more power for the clergy, that no father
of a family would be allowed to vote who buried a
relative on a Sunday, or travelled by railroad, or
tasted spirits, or sold " or refused in
any way to obey the ,command of. a spiritual
tyrant, and that the only way to save them-
selves from this frightful thraldom' is to read
the Scriptures, and judge for themselves.
We trust this scene will not be without
use in Parliament when the Non-intrusionists
claim protection for the members of the Scottish
Church. Should Sir ROBERT PEEL, or the Earl
of ABERDEEN, or any Minister of the Crown, in
any way, by favouring the dominant party, con-
tribute to their success, and consequently the de-
struction of public liberty in the north, he would
richly deserve impeachment.

At the public meeting held in Southwark
on Monday, Mr. A. PELLATT, a Liberal Dis-

senter, but remarkable for his moderation,
was constrained, by his sense of what is due
to the suffering people, to consent to a me-
morial to her MAJESTY, a part of which
prays that the People's Charter may be-
come the law of the land. But, far as this went,
it scarcely satisfied the numerous meeting. The
memorial was indeed unanimously assented
to ; but after that, the National Petition
was offered for acceptance, and, having
been supported by more than one speaker, who
urged the division of the land, was almost una-
nimously adopted. Will such facts not awaken
the aristocracy ? Govern this nation by force, in
opposition to justice, they cannot; and if they will
not allow the people to have bread, the people will
insist on sharing their estates. Between an at-
tempt to establish despotism, an agrarian revolu-
tion, or granting free trade, they have to choose.
Reason, Justice, Nature, and GOD command the
last, and if they decide for the first, no power on
earth can ward off unspeakable calamities from
England.

The French Journals have duly reached
us. The Court of Peers sat till six o'clock
on Saturday, again occupied with the trial
of QUENISSET and his accomplices, but no
important fact was elicited. From Avignon the
Government had received a telegraphic despatch,
dated the 4th instant, stating that the Rhone
had overflowed its banks, and inundated
a large portion of that ancient city. The suffer-
ings of the inhabitants were in consequence very
great. The Journal des Debats ridicules the pre-
tensions of M. THIERS to effect a change in
the Ministry. From several articles in the
Court organs it is clear that the Court is doing all
in its power to produce a coldness between the
people of Great Britain and Spain. As a means
to effect this they are endeavouring to alarm the
Spaniards for the safety of their Colonies.
(From the French Papers of Sunday.)
The bulletein of the laws contains a royal ordinance,
which fixes the revenue of the Legion of honour for the
year 1842 at 7,856,998 francs.

It is announced that General Rumigny is going to set
out for Africa, where he has already ;had the command,
and that he is to act as Governor-General, ad interim, in
the room of General Borgeaud, who has permission to
come to France to remain there during the session. Ge-
neral de Rumigny, it is added. will be accompanied by
M. August Martineau Deschenez, Auditor in the Council
of State.—Temps.
A journal announces that M. Thiers had a long con-
-ference with the Duke of. Orleans, yesterday.
The Journal of, Angers and of Rennes announces that
the rivers have overflowed their banks. At Rennes the
Velaine had risen to a greater height than in the most
considerable inundations of the last forty years.
The proceedings against M. Dupotz may be consi-
dered as an important fact. The sitting of the Court of
Peers yesterday disclosed the really political part of the
affair of Quenisset. People did not comprehend why M.
Dupotz was accused, though there was nothing in that
report which materially implicated him.
Yesterday, when after the declaration of that writer,
that he did not know any of the accused, the Attorney-
General instead of abandoning the accusation, took files
of the Journal du Potpie, and read extracts from them,
in order to find some connection between the facts of the
process and the theories of the writer, people under-
stand that the real object was to attack the political
press, and that the frequenters of public houses and con-
trivers of plots were brought before the Peers only to
lead to an attack on the most vital of our liberties.
We must only be astonished that M. Hebert did not
manage more dexterously the transition from an assassi-
nation to a misdemeanour of the press.
M. Dupotz nobly represented the press. His exami-
nation lasted three hours and a half.— Gazette de France

Da. BIRKBECK.—The funeral of Dr. Birkbeek
will take place, we are informed, at Kensall-
green, on Monday next. A meeting of the
Mechanics' Institute will be held on Thursday,
to settle in what manner the respect of the In-
stitute shall be shown to the venerable Gentle-
man's memory. Similar meetings are, .in ,con-
temptation at the other Metropolitan Institutions.
The warrant creating the infant prince Prince
of Wales and Earl of Chester, received the
Royal sign manual yesterday, and the creation,
we have every reason to believe, will be an-
nounced in this evening's Gazette. Besides
being Prince of Wales, the infant Prince is the
Duke of Cornwall and Rothsay, and Duke of
Saxony.
We have authority to contradict a paragraph
which has appeared in several of the public jour-
nals, that his Royal Highness the Duke of Sus-
sex is about to resign the Grand Mastership of
the ancient order of Freemasons. That his Royal
Highness has no such intention is evident when
we state that he was unanimously proposed at a
meeting of the Grand Lodge on Wednesday last
to fill the distinguished office for the ensuing
year.

CHURCH-YARD POETRY.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
SHEFFIELD, DEC. 6.—Being in the Court-room
at Ecclesall to-day, I picked up the following
rich and racy thing, which I thought too good to
be lost, and therefore send it you. I was fortu-
nate enough to get possession of the original
copy, given by the defendant, and have it now in
my possession.
At the Court of Requests for the manor of Ec-
clesall . (Sheffield, Earl Fitzwilliam's manor) a
person was summoned before the CommiiSioners
on Monday last for 2/. 4s. 2d., being the value of
a grave-stone ordered by him for his wife's" grave.
His defence was, that Isis instructions had not
been followed in the inscription, he having writ-
ten a verse and given it to the plaintiff, who had
altered it. The following is a copy verbatim et
literatim, of the author's production:—
" fierse sickness and afliction come
Blasted my flower just in my bloom
in love I lived in peace I died
my life was asked but god denyed."
The plaintiff had corrected this morceau in the
following manner:—
" Fierce sickness and affliction came,
Blasted my flower just in her bloom,
In love she lived, in peace she died,
Her life was asked—but God denied."
After a lengthened hearing the Court held that
he plaintiff had no right to recover.
"The original epitaph in the above is as great a
curiosity as can be conceived; but the stone-
cutter, inspired by a generous emulation, has in
his alteration made it tittle less of a phenomenon.
Not the least curious part of the business is, that
the action was dismissed, " on the ground that
the sense of the inscription had been altered"—a
result that seems to us to be decidedly illegal,
inasmuch as there was no sense to be altered!
Had the word " nonsense" been substituted, the
decision would have been legal enough ; but
scarcely so as it at present stands.]

SIR FRANCIS CHA.NTREY.
As every incident connected with the late lamented
Sir Francis Chantrey now assumes a mournful in-
terest, we subjoin some lines which appeared in one
or two literary periodicals of the day, on occasion
of the chance-medley by which Sir Francis, when
at Holk4m, shot a brace of woodcocks, as his first
feat in arms. If we recollect aright, the Mar-
quis of Wellesley wrote some elegant lines in Latin on
the event, which were translated into Greek by Lord
Brougham, and all three are inscribed on the pedestal of
the petrifaction of the birds effected by the great sculp-
tor, which he presented, in commemoration of the event,
to his host :
Chantrey, by genius prompted to excel,
When first the fatal tube he tried,
Sad victims of his new-found skill,
Two beauteous woodcocks died.
Repenting quick the cruel deed,
And urged by pity to atone,
He calls his magic chisel's aid,
And turns them into stone.
Thus sacred justice is appeased ;
Each bird in breathing marble lives ;
While the immortal fame they gain
The sculptor shares and gives.
