Yesterday the annual ploughing match in con-
nexion with this association took place in a field near
Slough, closely abutting upon the railway, and in
the evening a large party of the members and friends
dined together at the Windmill, Salthill.
In the absence of the Right Hon. H. Labouchere,
who is still abroad, the chair was taken by the Hon.
G. J. Irby, who was supported by Mr. Disraeli,
M.P., Captain Vyse, M.P., Colonel Spiller, Mr.
Harcourt, Mr. Darvell, the Rev. J. Hall, and others.
The vice-chair was filled by Major. Bent.
The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been
duly drunk,
Mr. J. TRUnIPER rose to propose the " Health of
the Members for the county.' He should be sorry,
he said, to disturb the harmony of their proceedings,
but the toast which he had to propose was one con-
nected with politics; and though, perhaps, he might
not be justified, he might, he hoped, be tolerated.—
(Hear, hear.) A man must indeed be a stoic if,
being a farmer, be did, not see that his position was
mixt:el up in some degree with politics. The pros-
perity of other classes had been thereby well dinned
into their ears, but he thought that they would ac-
knowledge with him that, though many classes were
scudding along with a prosperous gale, no whiff of
the propitious breeze had yet ruffled their drooping
sails.—(Cheers.) He would ask, however, whether
those classes that were so prosperous had ever con-
descended to inquire what a high price had been
paid., fcr the prosperity which they were said
to be enjoying. If the country were SO prosperous as
was represented he might ask why such numbers of
persons were leaving our shores, while the necessaries
and luxuries of life were to be had so cheap ? and it
might be said, in reply, that they went to our colo-
nies, where the same system prevailed. The con-
trary, however, was the fact, for they preferred that
" benighted country," the United States, where pro-
tection to native industry reigned supreme.—(Loud
cheers.) The farmers had bad plenty of advice given
to them within the last few years ; advice accom-
panied with the most taunting raillery. He was con-
vinced, however, if they analyzed all the advice which
had been lavished upon them that its value would be
found to be infinitesimally small, and, if followed out,
it would have been actually pernicious. They had
been told to electrify and to magnetize their land, to
build premises sufficient to accommodate every sheep
upon their farms with a.drawing room, and to grow
flax ; and they were told that farmers should be mi-
neralogist's and entomologists, and geologists, and he
did not know how many other ista besides. The
toast which he had to propose was a most grateful
one, for he was sure they would receive it with ap-
pleuse—it was "The Members for the county."—
(Cheers ) One of them he had great pleasure in see-
ing present ; and he would not longer trespass on
their time, knowing what eloquence that gentleman
was master of. There was no occasion for him, how-
ever, to be his eulogist. His honour was before the
whole community, and he could only say that he had
graced bath the literature and the senate of his
country. He hoped Mr. Disraeli would long con-
tinue to be their representative.—(Cheers.)
The toast was drunk with enthusiasm.
Mr. DISRAELI on rising was warmly applauded.
After briefly apologising for the absence of his col-
leagues, in whose behalf he thanked the meeting, the
lion. Gentleman proceeded in nearly the following
terms :—I am the more gratified by the manner in
which the health of the ilembers for the county of
Bucks has been proposed to you to-day, when I re-
member the quarter from which it emanated. It has
been proposed to you by a farmer of this county, who
deservedly stands high in the estimation of all pre-
sent, and, indeed, I may say, of all who are acquainted
with him.---(Cheers.) That our healths should have
been proposed, and in such terms, by a gentleman who
is most entitled to our respect, and who himself is so
skilful in the undertakings in which he is interested,
is to me, and I am sure it is to those who are absent,
a matter of great gratification. However, my hon.
friend Mr. Trumper has made some apology, for, I
won't say breaking, but for partially transgressing an
ancient rule of this society, that we should not touch
upon the interesting circumstances of the hour.—(A
laugh.) I really can't express what are called
" politics" in other terms.—(Cheers.) I may say,
upon my own part, without the least affectation,
that nothing was further from my expectation than
that I should to-day be called upon to refer,
even in answer, to a subject of that kind. I came
here to-day to pay an act of respect to a gentleman
who certainly has very little sympathy with me in
political life, but for whom I entertain a most sincere
regard, and that is the gentleman who I expected
would have filled your chair to•day. I wished to show
to Mr. Labouchere, whose frisndly feeling I greatly

tion of another set of public men may be placed for a

I distinguish myself between party politics and politics
in the proper and, I would say, nobler sense of the
question, namely, the consideration of the effects of
the legislation of the country on the fortunes of those
present. That, I think, at all times and under all
circumstances, is a fit subject for public considera-
tion ; and I confess myself, though I should not have
opened my lips upon the subject, considering who
might have been in the chair, I think it is really
worse than idle that at the present day any body of
persons connected with the cultivation of the soil
should meet together in festivities like the present, and
that they should not make the slightest allusion to
those subjects which, of all others, necessarily
.en-
gross their attention. Therefore, I am not surprised
that my friend Mr. Trumper has taken the license
which he has done and made those observations which
he has just offered to us.—(Cheers.) Now, I shall but
for a very few moments refer to them, but, as you have
done me the honour of drinking my health, and as
that health was proposed in the tone to which I have
referred, perhaps you will allow me to make a few
remarks which I feel it to be my duty to make to you
as one whom, however unworthy, you have sent to
Parliament as your representative.—(Cheers.) Now,

entering into any discussion, because there may be
gentlemen present who have different opinions upon
the abstract expediency or inexpediency of what is
called the " protective system"—l think that there is
one point upon which we must all agree, and that is,
that protection to a particular class, irrespective of all
other classes, is quite out of the question. I always
said so, and the more I think of the subject the more
convinced I am that that is so. That being the case,
it is perfectly clear that the system which has been
abrogated, or any system similar to it, cannot
be restored unless there is an almost universal
feeling in the country, unless the various classes
( of the country by sharp (experience should arrive

at the conclusion that the principles on which
our commercial system is founded are incorrect
and injurious. Now, I cannot flatter myself that all
classes of the country will arrive at that conclusion,
although it may be just and right, in a hurry. It is
quite clear to me, atter the change that has occurrd,
that if this country arrive, after experience, at the
conclusion that the change was erroneous, it will not
arrive at that conclusion in haste or a hurry. Then
what is the course for the agricultural interest to take,
which is the interest that is suffering from these
changes, while all other interests almost are announc-
ing to us that they are profiting by it ? It is for the
agricultural interest to discover the cause, or at least
one of the cause, which occasion it to suffer by that
change of legislation which many other classes think
so beneficial. That is the only point that I have ha-
pressed upon the attention of the farmers when I have
met them. I shall not enter into any details now.
But in my opinion the reason why we find such diffi-
culty in entering into competition with the agricul-
tural producers of other countries is, that we are suf-
fering under a heavy weight of taxation. (Cries
of " Bravo.") And I am quite convinced that you
must bring the mind of the farmers generally to con-
sider that subject, if they wish anything practical to
be done at once which may alleviate the suffering
which they now every day more experience.—(A
Voice—" Remuneration of price is of much more con-
sequence.") Remuneration of price must depend in
a great degree upon the cost of production. If you
diminish the cost of production, which you do if
you reduce taxation, you increase the remuneration
of price. Remuneration of price is what every man
wants, but we are to find the different means by
which remuneration of price may be obtained, and
then every one must admit that one of the sources of
the remuneration of price is the reduction of the
cost of production.—(Cheers, and a Voice " That
won't do it.") If my Hon. Friend can get laws in
this country that will at once give him that remune-
rative price which he requires—if he finds the vast
majority of the country in favour of such laws, no
one will be more glad than myself. No one fought
more ardently, no one I hope fought more sincerely
than I did. My sabre was notched from top to
bottom before I ceased to struggle ; but if you think
that you cannot immediately and at once return to
that system which has been abrogated, but which
you have found beneficial, then I wish to know
whether it is your opinion that you should try to do
anything else.—(Hear, hear.) Now we are in this
state—that when Parliament meets the very first
question which will engage the attention of the House
of Commons and the-country will be the principles
on which the taxation of this country is to be estab-
lished. That is the first question. The income-tax,
which is now the keystone of the financial arch,
must, unless some interposition takes place, fall.
Therefore, as in fact in a few months the income-tax
ceases, there must be a great deficiency in the revenue
of the country; and the Parliament, which, after all,
only represents the opinions of gentlemen who, like
my Friend who just now so courteously interrupted
me—(A. laugh)—l am speaking most sincerely—l am
glad he did interrupt me—Parliament must decide
upon the principles on which the taxation of this
country is to be raised. If it be true, as I believe it
is, that there is a great and undue pressure of taxa-
tion upon the agricultural interest of this country—
that the owners and occupiers of land pay a much
greater portion of the general taxation of the country
than they ought to pay—then, if that is understood,
and is fairly and properly represented in the House
of Commons, when the great discussion comes, it is
not impossible that some arrangement may be arrived
at which may prove advantageous to the land in all
its classes and interests. But if you, instead of un-
derstanding this part of the question, instead of
giving your intelligence and energies to this part of
the question, determine that you will only try to get
a remunerative price, by bringing back an abrogated
system, which you know at the present moment the
country generally will not support you in bringing
back, the consequence will be, that when the new
system of taxation is established, there will be im-
posed fresh burdens on the land, and fresh injustice
will be entailed on you.—(Cheers.) I don't want
to enter into any discussion at the present moment,
but I will repeat, in a few sentences, some general
conclusions which no one has yet successfully chal-
lenged. It is a fact that in the United Kingdom
13,000,0001. per annum are raised by local taxation,
and raised from one species of property, called
" real property." Of these 13,000.000/. it is a fact
absolutely ascertained, that 8,000,000/. are contributed
by the land, the pure land alone. I say, that as the
rental of the united kingdom is only 60,000,000/.,
and the taxable income of the country is more than
three times that amount, it follows that two-thirds of
that should be paid by the general revenue of the
country, and therefore that the agricultural interest
is paying in local taxation
alone 6,000,0001. a-year
more than it ought ; and I say that that is one-tenth
of the whole rental of the country; that it is equal to
a 10 per cent. reduction of
that rental.—(Cheers.)
But I do not say that that is the only excess of taxa-
tion which the agricultural interest bears beyond
other interests. I say that there are restrictions upon
the industry of the soil such as no other great industry
of this country experiences and endures. I say, that
when the Prime Minister rises and lectures the
farmers of England, and
tells them that they must
not trust so much to the wheat crop—that they must
give up growing wheat—it is most unreasonable that
he should at the same time be supporting laws which
restrict the cultivation of
the next superior grain—
barley.—(Cheers.) The land-tax, again, is another
ground on which you may
appeal to the Legislature
of the country for an equitable adjustment of taxation ;
for the land-tax is not one which can be justified on
those new principles of
political science and economy
which are the governing principles of the day,
an
d and on which avowedly your new commer-
cial system is established. I say that the
principle on which
your new commercial
system is established is
that there should not be
a tax upon the raw material, and, in my opinion, a
tax upon land, like all your local taxes, is a tax upon
the raw material. Since I made that observation I
see that there has arisen a great controversy upon the
subject. Indeed, almost as I entered this room a most
intelligent gentleman
now present demurred to me
on this point. He said, " I don't understand how
land can be a raw material. Land always remains."
Now I think that in
that observation I trace that
fallacy which is very prevalent in this country, and
most injurious to the
which, I am convinced, should be exposed, as it is
farmers of this country. Since
I made the observation at Aylesbury I have seen the
opinion of the most distinguished writer on political
he says, that it is a fallacy to treat land as a raw ma-
et
:y ofbecause the
h ree says
t daY—Mr. Stuart Mills—and
ma-
terial, economy
m s that man did not make the
pssae
land. But there I think that the fallacy of the
principle which I have
because what I maintain
ilsa
land—(Cheers)—that
you, manto

make

the farmers of Buckinghamshire, did
mal the land of South Bucks. I say that it
whole,idt
h downat opposition

be
a
is your cultivation, your manures—your artificial
manures—your various processes to which the land is
subjected under your science and experience, that in-
vest it with certain creative qualities—that a portion
of those qualities is wasted by every crop that you
produce, and is in fact the raw material of your ma-
nufacture; in fact,
if you did not cultivate the land,
it would cease to produce your manufacture. Your
the plough, the clod-
machinery is crusher, the
thrasher, but not the soil. The soil is the raw ma-
terial, and it is created by you, and every time that
the crop is produced some creative qualities of that
raw
material are expended, some portion, in fact, of
that raw material which you must supply by reno-
vated skill, by renewed experiments, and by increased
culture. Therefore, I say, that land is the raw ma-
terial of the British farmer,_and that in this country
you
tax his raw material, whereas the raw material
of is not taxed •
the manufacturer and you announce
this to be the great principle of your new and en-
lightened system of commerce, that no raw material
be taxed;
rind don't
of manufacture should apply to
agriculture the same principle that you do to Icom-
merce. Well, then, a asked what goad is there in
questions, " Are 6 000 000/ of local
stirring these
taxes to be taken offland, even laud,if it does unjustly con-
tribute it? Is it possible that they can be taken off
land in the present state of
the finances of the coun-
try ? Is it possible you can do without the malt tax
and the land-tax, because they are opposed to the
principles of financial justice and fiscal equity ?" My.
a great in suffering in con-
answer is,—here is
sequence of your legislation. It is necessary for tee
to discover what are some of the causes of its suffer-
ing ; end I am not you are to pay
your bills;
how you are to e
your debti ;
but I am to show, on the part of the agricultural in-
terest, whom you
acknowledge to be the only great
suffering interest, and who are suffering in conse-
quence of undue taxation, and it is for politicians, and
statesmen, and persons who represent the community,
that are revelling, we are told, in every degree of
prosperity—it is for them to devise how they can
meet their engagements in the most easy and Corm•
nient manner for themselves.—(Cheers.) That is
why I think it is so unwise that farmers when they
complain should be calling out to the Legislature for
a particular scheme of relief, which is one odious to
the multitude, putting themselves in the position of

men, as it were, who are unable to carry on their
trade without the assistance of the Legislature, when,
in fact, all they have got to do is to say that you
are :raising a sum of 12,000,000/. or 13,000,0001
from the land, which you ought not, according to the
principles of financial justice, to raise. You would
then, I believe, have terms offered to you, and, by be-
ing united, propably you'd have very good terms.
Now, this is the view I take of the position of the
farmers of this country. With regard to the princi-
ple of the protective system, if that system is restored
it must be by the whole country, and the farmers will
have their advantage of it. It never will be restored
for the farmers alone; and, if the farmers think that
it will, they are only playing the game of their ene-
mies, and they will find that there will be year after
year greater oppressions upon them, greater burdens
on their shoulders, and greater difficulties on their
part to preserve the position in which they are placed.
I do not advise you to give up the principle of what is
called " Protection to British industry." That is a
theory that is founded on principles which very great
men have advocated, and which may be supported by
a great force of argument; but it is not a system that
any longer exists, and, unless you get the majority of
the country with you, you will not get it back. In
the meantime, are you to do nothing, when you have
a case totally irrespective of protection ? NPni have
a case the strongest in the world, if you
go forward and ask for justice instead of pro-
tection. Take protection if you can get it. If
others get protection you will have it ; but no other
class can call for financial justice except the agri-
cultural class. It is their own case, and if they
choose to unite depend upon it that the Bill which
they prefer to the Ministry of the country cannot
easily be satisfied, and that some compromise, which,
after all, is an arrangement most in accordance with
the common sense and experience, and character of
this country, will be entertained and gained, which,
if they follow the advice of other gentlemen than the
present Member for Buckinghamshire who now ad-
dresses them, they will have very little chance of ob-
taining.—(Hear.) I hear frequently that the influence
of the agricultural classes has been very much exag-
gerated, that the constitution of the country has been
based on a parallel principle, and that each kind of
property has not had its fair influence, and that the
day has gone by in which the agricultural interest in
all its classes can be supposed to exercise the influence
that it did. I hope the day has gone by when any
class can obtain favours from the Legislature to which
it is not entitled—when any class, because it pos-
sesses political power, shall be able to accomplish
social injustice.—(Cheers.) I don't wish to enter
into the question of what is the comparative influence
of classes ; I only wish to say this, that the farmers,
the most powerful class in the country, in the class
which mostly employs labour. The farmers of
the united kingdom are the class which mostly
employs labour, much beyond other classes, and,
therefore, the farmers of the United Kingdom are
really the most powerful class. Teat is the test—not
an imaginary, but a practical test—which will decide
legislation, if the farmers are united ; and, therefore,
if the farmers will only embrace certain practical
ideas, and carry out and support them, it is quite im-
possible, if they are founded in justice, and can be
supported by argument, that they will not make their
way and be successful. I don't ask any man to give
up the system which will secure him remunerating
prices. I don't ask any man to give up any of the
essential principles for which we have fought, and
none of which we have relinquished ; but when a
system becomes a theory, and ceases to be a fact, I
say it is of the utmost importance that the farmers of
this country should be aware of that. If the farmers
are persuaded that a greater burden of taxation is laid
on them than on any other class in the country, they
can, with the power which they possess, and which
under any form of government they must possess,
because no new reform in Parliament can diminish
the just and legitimate influence of the greatest em-
ployers of labour, make on appeal to the Legislature,
which will not-be unsuccessful. I don't say I really
wish the system of local taxation altered. I don't wish
to say I don't estimate the importance of the malt-tax
as a source of imperial revenue ; I don't mean to say
that many arguments may not be urged that may
show the expediency of directly taxing land ; but if
those processes are carried on, and those results are
obtained by a system of financial injustice, it is the
duty of statesmen to find some compensatory power
which will enable the agricultural class to bear the
increased burden. That is the only point on which I
insist, and I am sure that if you will support these
views a very short time will elapse, a very short
time indeed, before you will find that they will pro-
duce you fruits, that you will find yourselves in a
healthier position, and that you will arrive at the
results which you desire, at that remunerating price
to which my friend has very properly alluded, by
means in which the whole country will go with you,
and in which, instead of being looked on as a power-
ful class, exercising your power for a particular end,
you will be looked on as a great class in this country
who are only exercising your power for the attain-
ment of that justice with which all classes of Eng-
lishmen sympathise.—(Cheers.) I find that what
has happened since the repeal of the corn laws has
placed the farmers of the United Kingdom in a much
better position as regards public opinion than they
once enjoyed. I shall not allude to some facts
which I mentioned the other day in the north of
the county among your brethren there to
show the results of this energy and enter-
prise ; and I think they are now perfectly acknow-
ledged. I think it is admitted that, on the whole,
the agriculture of England, certainly of the United
Kingdom, is the most skilful agriculture in
the world ; and I think it is also acknow-
ledged that, especially since the change, there
has been no lack of energy or enterprise on the part
of the British farmer. But a good many other falla-
cies—calumnies I might call them, if I were not dis-
posed to-day to use the gentlest terms—have been put
an end to. The statement that the farmers could not
carry on business from the want of capital, is pretty
well exploded. Even the highest authority on • this
subject (Mr. Pusey) says he has been at work at high
farming for several years, and that ho never could
put on 61. an acre. Therefore, all those stories which
carried in a great degree the repeal of the corn laws,
such as that no farmer should have less than 101. an
acre on his farm, and that no farm in Ragland had
more than 51. an acre, are put in limbo.—(Laughter.)
Those discussions of 1846 also have very much cleared
the reputation of the farmers. We have had since
then a great commercial distress in 1847, and there
was a Committee of the House of Commons ap-
pointed to inquire into the cause of that commercial
distress. I was a member of that Committee. The
gentleman who might have been your chairman to-
day was also a member. We investigated that sub-
ject with our utmost efforts. I supported those views
which are popular among ourselves. My friend,
Mr. Labouchere, a free -trader, took another view
of the general question, but we all arrived at
one conclusion. It was the unanimous decision of
that committee, which consisted of fixed duty men,
Free-traders, Protectionists, and Manchester men,
that the commercial distress was principally occa-
sioned by commercial men carrying on their business
without capital.—(Laughter and cheers.) I really
think that is the best vindication of the farmers of
Great Britain that has yet been made. Too year
after they repealed the corn-laws this distress oc-
curred, and we came to the unanimous conclusion
that the principle cause of the commercial distress
was men trading without capital. But I am reminded
of another circumstance. It was always said that
one reason why the farmers could not carry on their
business to advantage was that they could not keep
accounts. Now, a great many of my friends who
are farmers keep accounts. I can go to Wickham
market and buy a farmer's account-book which might
compete with many of the ledgers of commercial
men. But, since that was said, since every leading
investment
notl
keep accounts, there has been an immensewhocould
umpetmhe member of theers
ofM Ganrcehatesßterritasiu school—(A laugh)
of capital—no less than 200,000,000/.—by commer-
ciali
men and the middle and trading classes n the
laugh)—held
construction of railways. Very few of those specula-
tions have turned out so satisfactory as was ex-
pected ' • and committees of investigation have been
formed to inquire into the reasons why
they have not yielded what my friend has called re-
munerative prices, which committees have all come
to the conclusion that this 200,000,000/. has been in-
vestea by commercial men who cannot keep accounts.
—(Laughter and cheers.) I really think that these
are circumstaieces which tell on the minds of tho
people of the country ; and year after year, as these
things transpire, there is a general impression in this
country that the farmers of this country have not had
justice done them, and that even if the change which
took place in 1846 was beneficial, as ninny supposed,
it was obtained by false pretences. Therefore I think
there is a general disposition on the pert of the public
opinion of this country to view what is called the
agricultural question in a temperate and moderate
spirit—(Hear, hear)—and I believe there is an anxiety
to come to some arrangement which, without mainly
interfering with those financial principles i
this country, would:make the position of the cultivator
of the soil easier by reducing the cost of his Ivo
facture. If you see those tendencies, itis not extremely

prices ; but if you believe that at the present mo-
ment you cannot have back protection, and if you
feel that at the present moment you are suffering, is it
not the wisest course to ask for that which, in the name
of justice, cannot be denied, and which is in the way
o. f securing you aid and assistance, and which you
nave. every. chance and every certainty, if united, of
obtaining.—(Cheers.) I have trespassed much longer
on your attention than I ought to have done.—(" No,
no.") I did not come here to make a speech on any
other subject except that of proposing
the health of
one of her Majesty's Ministers, who I thought would
have been in the chair ; and I have only spoken to you
in that confidential and conversational manner in
which it is my duty always to be ready as your mem-
ber to speak to you. Finding you here, and finding
myself here at this critical moment of your fortunes,
I am only doing my duty in taking this opportunity,
as I will take every opportunity, of endeavouring to
impress on your minds what I think is essential to
your benefit and advantage.— (Cheers.) That is the
reason why 1 have taken the liberty of making the
observations which otherwise I wouldnot
have done.
I know very well the position of this district; I know
that you are men of great skill and capital, and I know
that the agriculture of South Bucks is such as you need
not be ashamed of ; and therefore I know that when
you feel the pinch you come forward with advantages
which claimants who are not under such circum.
stances may not urge. But it is for that very reason
that my sympathy is still stronger in your favour. I
know that when there are great changes such as we
see have occurred, painful as it is, I know that the
weak men are the victims, and, as in the case of the
handloom weavers, that no legislation in the world
can prevent inevitable doom. It is because I know
I am addressing men who, meeting the difficulties
they have had to encounter, with every advantage
which men can possess, know still how difficult it is
to bear the burden, that I wish to impres on them,
men of substance as well as men of sense, that the
time is come that they should unite to exercise their
influence in obtaining from the Parliament of this
country a practical end. That practical end, I re-
peat, is to ask the Legislature of this country to con-
sider taxation with regard to its peculiar weight and
burden on the agricultural interest, not to demand
any measure as a specific remedy, but to leave that
to statesmen and politicians; to prefer your claims,
to proclaim your sufferings, and to ask that to which
every class, weak or powerful, is entitled—namely, a
satisfactory and speedy remedy from the Legislature
of the country. Now if you do that, I think we
shall meet in this room again with very
different feelings from what we do at pre-
sent ; and though you may consider that but
a limited remedy, and the course which I indicate too
narrow, allow me to say that it is a practical course ;
and in these days of rapid events you must look to
that which is practical. You will find that the ad-
vantage of taking a practical course is this, that you
will gain that which now exists only in theory. Take
the case of a fixed duty on ;agricultural produce; I
give no opinion upon it, but I take it as a remedy
which is prevalent, not to say popular, among a very
powerful and influential class. Three years ago, if
you had asked for a fixed duty, those who had just
gained the immense benefit which they did by the re-
peal of the corn-laws at your cost, would say, of
course, No, we have gained only what was just—
we won't give you a fixed duty." But the discussion
of the last three years, which has attracted public
opinion to the question of taxation, and which has
proved to the Legislature of the country that
there is that undue weight of taxation and those
undue restrictions weighing on the cultivation of
the soil, those discussions have opened the hearts of
many people and influenced the minds of many people
who were opposed to a fixed duty, and who say, after
all it is morgipnvenient to give a fixed duty to the
cultivator of the soil than to pay cff the demands
which he makes upon us. The Hon. Gentleman,
after a few other observations, concluded by proposing
" The health of the Chairman," and resumed his seat
amid loud cheers.

Several other toasts followed, and the company
separated.

LECTURE ON BLOOMERISM.

On Monday evening Miss Kelly's theatre, in Dean-
street, Soho, was crowded by an eager auditory,
assembled in consequence of an announcement, ema-
nating from "The London Bloomer Committee," that
a lecture on the new costume would be delivered by
a lady appropriately attired. A crowd was assembled
in the street long before the doors were opened, and
when admission was obtained the theatre was imme-
diately filled—so rapidly, indeed, that a gentleman
from the stage announced that the lecture would not
be delayed until the time named in the bills, as the
edifice could contain no more. In a few minutes
after this notification, about twenty ladies, attired in
the Bloomer costume, appeared upon the stage, and
took their seats in a semicircle. Every variety of the
new attire was now to be seen, from the strictly
legitimate Bloomer skirt, " two inches below the
knee," to the less daring and less attractive drapery
which came down almost to the ankles. Nor were
varieties of colour wanting. Young ladies attired in
white with pink sashes contrasted strangely with
elderly ladies clad in brown and black, some prefer-
ring the hair unadorned, others wearing a few orna-
ments, and two wearing a hugh broad-brimmed black
hat. The audience—the great majority of which
was composed of gentlemen—received the Bloomer
cm-lige with cheers and laughter, the latter demon-
stration so far predominating as to cause some of the
ladies to waver in their approach, and one or two retired
behind the slips to regain their presence of mind,
somewhat shaken by their first reception. Order
having been restored a lady attired in a dark brown
costume came forward and addressed the audience.
The lecturer's name was not announced, it being
merely stated that she was a citizen of the United
States. She stated that in consequence of the great
interest with which the Bloomer question was re-
ceived by the public, a certain number of ladies had
been formed into a committee, in order to give it the
necessary attention and publicity, and invited the
mothers and daughters of England to give their at-
tention to the new costume as contrasted with the
present injurious form of attire. The introductory
part of the lecture adverted (amidst the laughter if
the audience) to the first institution of clothing by
our primeval parents. The lecturer, however, fore-
bore to inquire whether the leaves formed a tunic or
a simple petticoat. She then proceeded to trace the
custom of nations from time immemorial of marking
the different grades of human rank by varying ap-
parel, and urged that the present inconvenient dress
of ladies was not only unfit for their situation as the
helpmates of man, but .oppoaed to the laws of nature
as regarded their physical conformation. This subject
led to a consideration of the moral and social conduct
of American ladies, and thence by some strange
transition to the slave trade and the claims of the
actionusea
loofng the
trainhe heart
" citizenesses" of the United States to a repre-
sentation in the Legislature. This discursive matter
i
having been concluded, the lecturer took into consi-
deration the injurious effect of the present style of
by
dress, and the obstructions causedit to the highest
functions of the human frame. She demonstrated
the dirt did not escape notice, and the
diseases. The filth collected by the long trains of
lecture concluded by an exposition of the advantages
and seriatim
l lungs,
g thes andeffecitsrac ofed impededp
to
of the Bloomer costume, and a compliment paid to
Mrs. Bloomer, quoted from one of the American
papers. It was also stated as a piece of supplementary
impeded
ca
information that the real originatress of the Bloomer
costume was a daughter of Mr. Garrett Smith, of the
ladies sweeping
United States. During the course of this lecture
several outbreaks of laughter and discordant noises
took place, and the admissions of the lady were rather
more freely and audibly interpreted than was intended.
Her evident sincerity, however, made some impression,
and upon the whole the address was favourably
received. The lady, however, did not seem to think
that sufficient courtesy had been extended to her,
after she had claimed " the courtesy due to a stranger,"
and after her lecture mentioned her misgivings in
plain terms, attributing the outbreaks partly to the
disappointment of many present at a recent Bloomer
manifestation. The Bloomer ladies joined in the
National Anthem at the close of the proceedings, and
the lecture was announced for repetition.

21iY F LANCASTiIi.
Undersigned Inhs.Vitants of
the through of Liverpool, in the County of Lan-
caster,
" Showeth,—That your memorialists have occa-
sion, which they deeply deplore, to address your
Lordship in language of indignation and conapleint
at the conduct pursued by William Ramshay, Esq.,
the judge of the Liverpool County Court, since his
acquittal by your Lordship and the recommencement
of his sittings.
" That Mr. Ramshay has brooded over wrongs
erroneously supposed to have been committed against
him by the public press of Liverpool, until he has
come to view all their acts in which his name is in
any way mixed up through a distorted and distem-
pered medium ; and, as evidence of this unhappy
temper, he has, on several occasions, declared his in-
tention of making an example of persons who were
supposed to be his accusers previous to the late in-
vestigation before your Lordship.
" Under the influence of this morbid state of mind,
he has lately denounced a most innocent placard (ac-
cidently placeklipon a wooden paling near his court,
and used by bill' sticker for all their placards) as a
libellous attack upon himself, and as a contempt of
his court ; and, in the assertion of his power (of which
he entertains a very exalted opinion), to visit all acts
which be chooses to consider contempts or his court
in a summary manner, le has lately sent a person,
stated to be an officer of his court, with verbal direc-
tions only, to bring Mr. Michael James Whitty, the
publisher of the placard above mentioned, to his court.
The officer proceeded to Mr. Whitty's place of busi-
ness, with a companion, to execute this verbal order.
Mr. Whitty demanded their authority, and on their
stating they had none to produce, he refused to ac-
company them ; but at the same time expressed his
willingness to wait until they could procure either a
warrant or summons from the court. This they re-
fused to do ; and, having recourse to force to compel
him, they were resisted by Mr. Whitty and his son,
and some of his servants, and they did not accomplish
their object.
" The Judgeafterwards issued his summons, which
was left at lit. Whitty's dwelling-house, requiting
him to attend his court to answer for a contempt.
Mr. Whitty immediately obeyed the summons, when
the Judge not only went into the consideration of the
questions of contempt of court with respect to tie
placard adverted to, but into charges of insulting and
assaulting the officers of the court in discharging the
verbal requisition that he (Mr. Whitty) should
attend the court, and the resisting them on their
attempting to take him to the court by force. And
the judge ordered Mr. Wbitty to pay a fine of 51.
for insulting the Court, or to be imprisoned seven
days at Lancaster Castle ; and to be imprisoned at
Lancaster Castle absolutely for two terms of seven
days for assaulting the
.officers; and to pay two other
fines of 51. each for insulting the officers, or to be im-
prisoned 14 days. The two penalties of seven days'
imprisonment absolutely for assaulting the officers the
Judge afterwards withdrew, substituting the infliction
of fines of 51. each, or seven days' imprisonment in each
case in default of payment. The fines were not paid, and
Mr. Whitty was sent to Lancaster Castle. Two days
after the hearing of the charges against Mr. M. J.
Whitty, Mr. John Whitty attended on a summons
for assaulting the doers, and, in result, he was fined
in four penalties of 40s. each for assaulting and in-
sulting the officers ; in default of payment as to the
assaults, the judge ;imposed an imprisonment in each
case ; and as to the two penalties for insulting the
officers, he stated that the amounts would be recover-
able ;as debts under the County Courts Act, and, if
not paid, that the defendant would be liable to two
imprisonments of 40 days each. Orders were drawn
up to send Mr. John Whitty to Lancaster, when the
inhabitants of Liverpool interposed, and paid all the
fines of Mr. John Whitty, jun , to prevent his going
to Lancaster, and paid the fines of Mr. M. J. Whitty,
and procured his discharge from Lancaster Castle,
when the following receipt was given to the contri-
butors :

(Copy.)
" Liverpool, Oct. 2, 1851.
" ' Mr. J. R. Jeffery has this day paid me, under
protest, the sum of 33/. on account of Mr. Michael
James Whitty and Mr. John Whitty, viz.:
"' Mr. Michael James Whitty-51. for wilfully
insulting the judge in going to the court; Si. for
wilfully insulting Robert Hartley, an officer of the
court, while going to the court; 51. for wilfully in-
sulting Roger Charnley, an officer of the court, while
going to the court; Si. for assaulting Robert Hartley,
an officer of the court, in the execution of his duty ;
and 51. for assaulting Roger Charnley, an officer of
the court, in the execution of his duty.
" And Mr. John Whitty-21. for assaulting Ro-
bert Hartley, one of the officers of the court, in the
execution of his duty; 2/. for assaulting Robert
Charnley, one of the officers of the court, in the exe-
cution of his duty; 2/. for wilfully insulting Robert
Hartley, one of the officers of the court, in going to
the court ; and 21. for wilfully insulting Roger Charn-
ley, one of the officers of the court, in going to the
court.

" WILLIAM STATHAM,
" Clerk of the County Court of Lancashire,
holden at Liverpool.
"That throughout these proceedings Mr. Whitty,
sen., exhibited no contumacy ; on the contrary, while
at his own place of business he expressed his readiness
to the Court, if served with written request, and ac-
cordingly did so as soon as he was served with the
summons; and throughout the inquiry against him,
which lasted about seven hours, he was patient, re-
spectful, and forbearing, never uttering a single wora,
although very many observations fell from the judge
greatly calculated to wound and exasperate him.
"That the judge of the County Court, on the other
hand, throughout the proceedings against Mr. M. J.
Whitty and Mr. John Whitty, in his various character
of accuser, witness, judge, and jury, was pre-
eminently bane, vindictive, and oppressive.
" That the construction put by the judge of the
County Court on the clause of the County Courts
Act in reference to cases of contempt is, as your me-
morialists believe, unconstitutional and illegal ; and, if
it were otherwise, that his unprecedented assumption
of authority, and the temper which he has displayed
in attempting to enforce that authority, plainly
demonstrate that he has not the moderation and
equanimity which are essential to the character of a
county court judge. At the same time, the violent
and unexpected measures resorted to by Mr. Ramshay
for upholding whst he calls the dignity of his court,
have alienated the great majority of the trading com-
munity, so that his court must be a comparatively
useless one, so long as Mr. Ramshay shall be suffered
to preside there.

4 Your memorialists, in conclusion, pray that your
Lordship should be pleased to hold in Liverpool, or
its immediate neighbourhood, a court of inquiry into
tho conduct of Mr. Ramshay since his acquittal. by
your Lordship from the former charges made against
him, and his resumption of his sittings; and that, if
the foregoing facts be established against him, as your
memorialists confidently believe they can be, your
Lordship would be pleased to remove Mr. Rambhay
from the office of judge of the County Court of Liver-
pool, and to appoint anotherjudge, of learning, tem-
per, and moderation in his stead."

Observer °I the 26th ult , gives the following details of an act
of barbarity :—" In Morgder county, not long ago, a citizen
die'', leaving a widow and two small children, the elder a
girl about seven years of age. Not long after the death t f
her husband the woman married again. Soon the girl died,
and very recently the boy was reported missina. The sudden
and mysterious nisappearance of the child, together with the
fact that upon the death of the woman's first husband the
property he possessed was left to the two children, aroused
suspicion in the neighbourhood, when a search was made fur
the boy. He was found in the woods adjacent, with both
legs broken and his mouth sewed up; being still alive, how-
ever, he was properly cared for, when ho reported that his
mother and stepfather had been the perpetrators of the deed,
and, in addition, that his sister's Actin had been broken by
them, which caused her death. The boy's statement further
tended to develope the fact that the girl was known before
her death to have had a bandage round her head, and, upon
her body being exhumed, it was found as the boy had stated,
that the skull was fractured. The parents were arrested and
imprisoned at Versailles."
A WISE ADVICE.—A dandy, with a cigar in his
mouth, entered a menagerie, when the proprietor requested
him to take the weed from his mouth, lest Ile shoula learn
the other monkeys bad habits.
