" A chiel's amang us, taking notes."
—(Laughter.) There have been recently, in the Times
newspaper, some well written and clever letters as to
the sate of agriculture throughout England. The author
of these letters happens at this moment to be in York-
e. He has gone through Marshland, and Goole,
and Holderness, and he is now in the North Riding of
Yorkshire, and that, too, in the very neighbourhood
where I have some property. As to his observations
generally, I must say that I cannot refrain from agree-
ing with him. So far as I know from recent observation,
I think, that his description is, in the main, perfectly
true; and there is cme particular to which he alludes, tend
eith which I completely agree—viz., that in some dia-
(Has there is a vast difference between one farm and an-
other, though there may be a similarity of soil. He says
truly that in one case the farming in good, and in the
other bad, -and ;hen he goes on to show that a good farmer,
in bad times, is making as much or more profit than the
had farmer was melting in good times. The iaference
is that the bad farmer must " go to the wall;" there is
no chance for him under any circumstances. I think
it is shown in those letters, and that the experience
of everybody who has paid attention to the circum-
stances will show, the truth of this proposition—viz ,
that bad farming at the present day has no chance of
struggling with the difficulties of the times.—(Applause.)
It is vain to say merely that landlords must come down
with their rents. I feel that I am occupying a peculiar
position. I know that I am speaking to those who are
tenant-farmers, and I myself am speaking as a landlord.
Very well, then, I say, although the observation may
not be agreeable to all, that it is absurd to say, " the
landlord must come down in his rent, and then all will
be right." No; I say you will not get mo to do that.
But I also say this, viz., that if my farms are let beyond
a fair valuation, taking the existing and probable value
of corn, I'll have a re-adjustment.—(Rear, hear.) But I
will make no return; and, moreover, I will say this, for
it is only fair, although I am sorry to say, there is cause
for it, that if I find I have a farm which, with proper
treatment, can pay a fair rent, and the farmer who is
upon it does not choose to exert himself up to that point,
I shall be ready to give such a tenant notice to quit.—
(Ilear, hear.) Now I say that this is speaking plainly.
If I were a tenant I should never be alarmed about rent.
The rent of land will always adjust itself—the rent of
land is always what you can get for it.—(Cries of " No,
no!") You misunderstand me. I mean to say, that
you can't get an unfair price for land, because if you do
your land gets ruined. I repeat, then, that the land will
adjust itself. I know it as a trustee of some property_
and also as the holder of other property. A fair and
honest tenant will always give what is a just and fairt
rent, and rent will always adjust itself. If you attempt
to overlet your lands, you cut your own thro
plause.) If you do so you will not get therigahtst.Ffinmd,Ponf

some one else will. He is known to be a good farmer,
and every landlord wants to get such a man, and his
terms are the fair market price.—( Applause.) If a
landlord seeks more than that, he will easily find a per-
son to bid more, but when the rent day comes such a
tenant is in arrear to a dead certainty. The land is

Other doctrines, practices, and claims, equally desti-
tute of authority from Holy Writ, are-
2. Transubstantiation, and the refusal of the cup in
holy communion to the laity.
3. Divine honours paid to the Virgin Mary, the in-
vocation of seinte wad the worship of images.
4. The doctrines of purgatory, and the power of a
priest to procure relief from its penalties.
5. The grant of indulgences.
6. Restraint upon the use of the Holy Scriptures,
amounting to prohibition.
7. The unnatural extent in which celibacy is enforced.
8. The pretence that miracles are even now performed
in the Church of Rome. It may well be doubted if there be
any authentic record of any miracles since the destruc-
tion of Jerusalem; unless the foiling of Julian's purpose
to rebuild it be an exception.
9. The offering up of public prayers in a foreign
tongue, little understood, with a disposition to discourage
all education, except on a most narrow and exclusive
principle.
10. To this catalogue of speculative error and actual_,_
mischief must be ridded the most dangerous of all. The
confessional has always appeared to me a syste_moin

I believe and sincerely hope they have nothing to fear in
this respect. I am persuaded that no wish exists gene-
rally for any measure but what relf-defence requires.
An outrageous attack has been made upon us, but I tru:t
adequate means may be devised for our own security
without disturbing the free exercise of religion by others
or infringing their rights of conscience. It surely can-
not be necessary to the maintenance of these great ends
that a foreign potentate should be permitted to insult Si
great nation, trample neon the rights of the Sovereign as
secured by law, and disturb the peace and good order of
the Established Church.

In order to prevent such evils it may be necessary to
provide some restrictions upon the introduction and cir-
z.ulation of Papal bulls in this island, and to prohibit the
assumption of episcopal titles conferred by Rome and de-
riving the name from any place in this country. It 12299 i

THE TROUBADOUR STEAMER.—BEISTOL, JAN.
20. - A letter, dated Narbeth, Jan. 19, was posted in the
Commercial-rooms to-day, which states that the Troubadour
steamer, which usually plies between this port and Liver-
pool, has been nearly wrecked off that coast. She had two
or three men drowned, and others severely injured. She
had sustained great damage, but was enabled to put back to
Milford. Her Majesty's steam-ship Shearwater went on
shore this morning in coming up the river near the Round-
point ; it is probable she will be got off at this evening's flood
tide. The Congo, from Bristol to Africa, has been forced
rines s
,by Holloway'sdejectionof
back to Kingroad with loss of bulwarks, stanchions, and her
larboard side carried away.
