Friendly Societies—Demonstration.

The following letter appears in the Times:—

A society called the Farriers' Horseshoe Fund was
established in 1847, and in that year the rules were
duly certified; they were revised is August, 1862,
and again certified. The society is now held at the
Fountain, New-street, 'Golden-square, and consists,
from the report of 1866, of nearly 300 members.
The objects of the society, as stated in the rules,
are to afford relief to the members when sick, suf-
fering from infirmity, and old age, and for the
burial of the members and their wives, and the
tables of contributions and benefits were originally
certified by an actuary. It would appear from the
annual accounts that, in addition to a friendly
society, it had become a trade society, as payments
were made to members out of work, although the
rules contained no provision for such payments.
In November, 1866, there was a special general
meeting of the society to receive a report with re-
ference to an intended Reform Demonstration, and
it was resolved that the members of this society
should join such demonstration.
On the 3d of December the Reform Demonstra-
tion took place, which was attended by several
members, and the appearance of the mounted
farriers was specially alluded, to in the newspapers.
On the Bth of February last two members of
this society called upon me respecting the misappli-
cation of the funds, which had been applied to de-
fray the expenses attending the Reform Demonstra-
tion, and requesting me to take proceedings against
the officers under the 23d and 21th Vic., cap. 58,
sec. 9, which authorises the Registrar " to proceed
summarily, if any officer, member, or other person
misapplies the funds, or wilfully applies any part of
the satne to purposes other than those expressed or
directed in the rules of the society, and, on convic-
tion, subjects the offenders to repay the amount of
money improperly applied, and to pay, if the jus-
tices think fit, a further sum of money not exceeding
£2O, together with costs, and in default of such re-
payments, &c., the justices may order the parties
convicted to be imprisoned in the common gaol,
&c., with or without hard labour, for any time not
exceeding three months."
I immediately communicated with the society as
to whether the facts stated were true, and obtained
the following account of the expenses attending the
Reform Demonstration on Dec. 3, 1866, amounting
to £63 108. 3d., which had been paid out of the
funds of the society contributed for the relief of the
members in sickness, &c. :

£63 10 3

Upon the receipt of this statement I informed
the officers that it was my intention to proceed
against them under the 18th and 19th of Victoria,
cap. 63, sec. 21, unless the money was repaid.
On the 13th inst. I received a letter stating that
the money withdrawn from the friendly fund of the
Farriers' horseshoe Fund Society for the Reform
Demonstration of the 3d of December last had been
replaced to that fund, and that in future no money
will be taken away for trade purposes at all. Under
these circumstances it is not my intention to take
further proceedings.
I have troubled you with this for the purpose of
informing the members of Friendly Societies that if
I am furnished with sufficient evidence of any mis-
application of the funds they will find me ready to
take the necessary proceedings to punish the
offenders. JOHN Tenn PRATT,

Registrar of the Friendly Societies in England.
Friendly Societies'-office, 29, Abingdon-street,
Westminster, April 24.

The Lord-Lieutenant, accompanied by the Mar-
chioness of Abercorn, the Ladies I lamilton, and
suite, on Weduesday visited the show of cattle and
agricultural implements, held on the premises of the
Royal I) iblin Society, and made a minute inspec-
tion of all the departments. In the evening his
excellency presided at the meeting for the distribu-
tion of prizes to the successful competitors, and, in
acknowledging the vote of thanks accorded to him,
made the fo lowing remarks :—My lord and gentle-
men,--I rise, in the first place, to return thanks to
my noble friend (Lord Clancarty) for the very kind
manner in which he proposed the vote of thanks on
the occasion of my attending here to-night, and also
to you for the kind and cordial manner in which
you responded to that proposition. (Hear, hear.)
I assure you it is a matter of great satisfaction to
me to preside for the first time in your society.
Perhaps the pleasure I feel is enhanced by being
able to take the bright side of the picture, and by
being able to congratulate you upon the com-
plete success of your show and exhibition this
day. There were various reasons which seemed
to indicate that the spring meeting of the pre-
sent year might not be so favourable as in
-former years. We have had a wintei—ortariiial
severity ; we have had nipping winds preventing
the verdure of your fields, and almost the vegeta-
tion. We have had still more a disturbed state of
the country, which for some months paralysed the
hand of the farmer, and has thrown uncertainty,
doubt, and distrust upon all employments and
avocations of peaceful and industrial life. (Hear,
hear, and applause.) While looking to these facts,
the successful result of your meeting to-day is a
subject of the highest satisfaction. It shows that
the prosperity and strength of agriculture here are
not built upon a flimsy or unsubstantial foundation,
or liable to be much affected by extraneous or for-
tuitous events, but that the fostering care of socie-
ties like this, and the increase of skill and intelli-
gence amongst all classes of farmers, have produced
their fruits in the certainty of remunerative returns,
and the increased improvement in agricultural skill
and labour. Mr. Mansell has with much ability
described the show-yard to-day. I need go no
further than to say that, as usual, short-horns were
in preponderance. We all bow with proper sub-
mission to Mr. Challoner's Sovereign, which de-
serves at some future time to be the monarch of
herds. (Applause.) With regard to sheep the
entries have not been so numerous, but I believe they
have been exceedingly good, many of the animals
being of very high quality. In swine the entries were
more numerous. In short, the state .of the show-yard
was most satisfactory. If we look further into
the matter, we shall find that the evidence of the
past year fully bears out the promise of the show-
yard to-day—the increasing improvement in the
prominent feature which eminently and specially
characterises your society as far as agriculture is
concerned, namely, the improvement and increase
of stock throughout the country. (Hear, hear.)
We find that in the three years since 1863 there has
been an increase of 600,000 in cattle, and the value
of these cattle must not be estimated by its nume-
rical increase, considering the value of cattle at the
present time. The increase in sheep approaches one
million, which must be also estimated upon an in-
creased value as compared with former years.
(Hear, hear.) There is one point to which I look
with some anxiety, which is well worthy the consi-
deration of those who are able to give a most cote-;
prehensive view of subjects of this nature. I ureay_
that while cattle have increased in the last three
years 600,000, and sheep to the extent of one mil-
lion, the quantity of land under rotation of crops
has decreased by 450,000 acres, and the deere Ise of
green crops alone is upwards of 150,000 acres, while
there has b.:en very little increase in hay and
meadow lands. Therefore, there is some doubt
whether so large an increase of cattle and sheep,
without corresponding crops, is au unmixed bene-
fit. There is another subject that has not been
mentioned here to-night, but it is one to which the
society has devoted much care and attention—l
mean the culture of flax. (Hear.) As one connected
with a part of the country where it is very exten-
sively grown, and as I believe I have as large a
number of flax-growing tenants as any one, I would
take the liberty of making a few observations on it.
I believe there can be no doubt that flax, as it is
cultivated in Ulster, is a most profitable crop for
the small farmer, and by the small farmer I mean
the man holding from 10 or 15 to 30 or 40 acres of
land. But while I assert that, I do not mean to
convey that it is not also a crop profitable to the
large farmer. There are special reasons why flax
should be a crop more profitable to the small than
to the large farmer; and amongst others may be
mentioned the fact that the small farmer is able to
use the unpaid labour of his family in the preparation
of the crop for culture, and in all the processes of
steeping and drying in which the small farmer dis-
plays his skill and industry. The large farmer, how-
ever, is not so circumstanced, for lie has to use
paid labour—the ordinary hired' labour, without
the existence of that esprit de corps which is to
be found among the members of the same
family who work and labour together for a com-
mon object. • (Hear, hear.) It is, therefore, pretty
clear that, though flax may be a profitable crop to
the large farmer, it is to the small farmer essentially
advantageous, and it is among the small farmers
you should wish to see it extended. (Hear,. hear.)
I now come to the question whether it is possible to
introduce the culture of flax into the other three
provinces just as it has been cultivated in Ulster,
and I confess I have some doubts as to whether it is
practicable to introduce it to the same degree as in
Ulster. If you look to the physical features of
Ulster, you will find that it is, as a rule, a hilly
country, and very much in terJected by small natural
streanilets, and therefore it is that it is so well
adapted for the cultivation and preparation of flax.
It is in consequence of this abundance of water in
Ulster that the small farmer can have his own
steeping place or flax-dam, and it is because of the
want of this abundance that you will find it diffi-
cult to get the small farmers of the other proviucef
to plant and cultivate flax to the same extent as
is done in Ulster. And concomitant with this is
the existence of scutching-mills, which are so essen-
tial to the preparation of flax for market, and which
exists in several parts of Ulster. There is another
subject in which I take a very deep interest, and
n which this society has displayed considerable
concern. While we spare nothing that skill and
science and money can avail iu the improvement of
our herds, and in the better cultivation of our fields,
we must not forget those to whom the care of the
cattle and the cultivation of the fields are intrusted
—I mean the agricultural labourer of the country.
(Hear, hear.) I confess that, as a large proprietor
in Ireland, I have long felt that the improvement
of the homes of the agricultural labourers is one that
must take a prominent part in the requirements of
the present day. (Hear, hear.) No doubt, the
improvement of the farmers' homes would be ad-
vantageous, but (he farmers are able, to a certain
degree, to take care of themselves ; and between
them the labourer, the fir/seri/4ns giebx, is apt to fall
through. (Hear, hear.) I believe the condition of
the labourer, as regards wages and diet, has bee
i
very much improved during the last 20 years, but
I do not think it has kept pace with the times, and
I very much fear that the old cabins of their fore-
fathers shelter many labourers of the present day.
(Hear, hear.) While we regret the emigration that
is taking so much of the bone and sinew. of
the
land to other countries, it will be a question well
worth the consideration of the society by what
means and how far a better and more improved
home would render the peasant comfortable and
contented, and reconciled to remain on his native
soil, (Applause.) No one knows better than Ido

As in the case of all the wooden ships now built for
the British navy, iron ai. a material has been largely
used in the construction of the Blanche wherever
found practicable. Her upper and main deck beams
are of rolled iron, from the Butterley works, and her
gun deck with the -ordinary iron deck plates. Au
alteration has been made in her magazines to enable
her to carry the two additional guns she is intended

to carry.
The handsome block of buildings erected at the
extremity of the Royal Marine barracks, Chatham,
as quarters for the officers of the Royal Marines',
have been completed by the contractors, Messrs.
Foord and Sons, Rochester, and will shortly be
handed over to the Admiralty. The new buildings
include residences for five field officers, with a cen-
tral house for the Second Commandant of the divi-
sion, together with quarters for 12 captains and 24
subalterns, each officer having the proper number of
rooms assigned according to his rank. The cost of
the new buildings, exclusive of the site, and includ-
ing the extra works, is £20,000. As soon as the
new quarters are occupied the range of buildings
now appropriated as grand divisional offices and
quarters for the junior officers of the division will
be removed, and the present barrack square joined
to the parade ground, in front of the new quarters
for the men, completed.
One of Martin's improved patent self-canting
two-flaked anchors, manufactured by order of the
Board of Admiralty, was yesterday tested in the
hydraulic press at Woolwich, according to the strict
regulations of the service. The anchor weighs 19
cwt. 1 qr. 17 lb., and the stock 2 qrs. 2 lb., and is
intended for use on board her Majesty's steam store-
ship Industry. The textile strain was worked up
to 20 tons, and on examination the maximum varia-
tion was 3-16ths, which, however,. fully regained
its position without leaving the slightest perma-
nent change. The inventor had proposed to
carry the strain some 25 per cent. above the
Admiralty regulation, but Admiral Drummond
considered the quality of the metal to have been
sufficiently tested. Commodore Edmonstone, C. 8.,
superintendent of the dockyard, Mr. Ladd, mas-
ter shipwright, Commander Dillon, master at-
tendant, the master stnitli, and other officers, directed
the proof, which was very satisfactory.
Col. Connolly, commanding the division of Royal
Marine Light Infantry at Wocdwich, yesterday re-
ceived instructions from the Royal Marine-office to
hold in readiness for departure on the 29th inst. the
following detachments for relief on board the under-
mentioned Coastguard ships :—Capt. Dunn, Lieut.
Erskine Tudor Risk, one sergeant, one corporal, and
58 privates for service on board the Trafalgar, at
Leith ; Capt. Short, Lieut. Bollard, two sergeants,
one corporal, one drummer, and 61 privates for the
Revenge, at Pembroke Dock ; one sergeant, two
corporate, one drummer, and 57 privates, under
charge of the officer who returns with the detach-
ment relieved, for the Lion, at Greenock ; one cor-

A number of re-engaged men, volunteers from the
Royal Artillery and other regiments, yesterday
