should obtain a supply of this celebrated and economical
food, which will prove invaluable during the approaching
season. For keeping horses in'good condition it is unequal-
led. Pigs fatten with surprising rapidity upon it, and their
flesh increases in flavour and value. Cowkeepers will find,
great advantage in the increased quantity and improved qua-
lity of the milk during its use. All animals are benefited by
it. A pamphlet on this interesting subject, accompanied by
Testimonials from the principal Nobility, Gentry, and A
culturists, forwarded on application. In casks containing

LORD VALLETORT, M.P., AND MB.
KENDALL, M.P., ON GENERAL POLITICS.

At the Callington agricultural meeting on Thurs-
day, under the chairmanship of E. Collins, Esq., in
responding to the toast, " Tbe Health of the Earl of
Mount-Edgcumbe, the Patron of the Society."
The Viscount VALLETORT said, although his
father was confined to his bed by severe illness, he
took a deep interest in all that tended to the interest
of the neighbourhood and the country; in proof of
which he would refer to a letter to which reference
had been made, in which his father called upon
everyone to consider whether it was not their boun-
den duty in that neighbourhood to take part in the
formation of a volunteer corps; Some time ago there
was an idea_that peace would never again be broken
among the civilised nations of Europe, that if a dis-
turbance did break out it would be amongst bar-
barous tribes; that idea had at once dispelled by
what had taken place in Italy, though he hoped in
the end that outbreak might work for the benefit of
that country; it, however, proved that the idea that
European peace was never to be again broken was
utterly fallacious. The Emperor of France had
stated his intentions towards England to be peace-

able. If such was the case, for-ming those corps
would be the way to maintain peace ; but if his
intentions should not be peaceable, and the energy
with which they were building transports in all the
French ports to an extent never before known did
not give them altogether an assurance of peace.
then they ought to be prepared for every emer-
gency. According to the best opinions of those
eminently qualified to judge, this country was open
to attack at many points, and no place, perhaps
was more assailable than Plymouth. France had
the power, and many Frenchmen had the will to
assail them if the Emperor led them on, and ought
England to be so unprepared as to be at the will of
one despotic man ? They ought to make invasion
impracticable by putting the country into a proper
state of defence, and how could they do that better
than by forming volunteer corps. (Cheers.) It
had been proposed in the Southern Division of
East Cornwall to have an artillery corps of 100
men, but he was in London at the time, and from
some cause or other the project failed, Probably
people had not made up their minds on the matter;
but volunteer corps have been formed from Scot-
land to the Land's End, and they could not do
better than follow the example. Some might pre-
fer artillery, but if they could not obtain that they
should certainly have rifle corps. Perhaps some
parties were slow in coming forward, as they would
have to go a considerable distance to drill, but that
difficulty might be overcome by increasing the
number of drill sergeants. Another reason was
that it could not be expected in many cases that
parties could provide their own equipments, but he
thought they might soon get funds to purchase
equipments for those who could not provide them
for themselves. Government had already given
half the rifles, and would probably, as soon as they
had them give the remainder. Other parties thought
that when the emergency arose then they would
rise and meet it ; but that was an absurdity, for it
was useless for any man to think of practising as a
soldier who had not been properly trained thereto.
By being thus prepared they would prevent all
those miseries and disastrous events which always
resulted from war. They might say if they raised a
corps of 100 men that that would not bo much for
the safety of the eountry ; but if every locality said
the same what would become of the country if inva-
sion should take place ? He thought, moreover, this
matter involved the honour and credit of the agri-
culturists themselves. Every other class almost had
outstripped the agriculturists of that neigbourhood
in this respect. He somewhat regretted the circum-
stances, as heretofore the yeomanry had been the
chief strength of the county, and whose power had
proved irresistible in time of danger.
In replying to the " Health of the County
Members,"
N. KENDALL, Esq., thanked the meeting on behalf
of Mr. Roberts and himself for the honour which
had been done them. The last speaker said that
they always knew whore to find their representa-
tives. That might be very true, but as regarded
politics he found it hard to say where he had been
for the last five or six months. Free discussion was
the order of the day in that place, and therefore it
Nuts that he rejoiced to be among them. /At a recent
meeting in another locality he had been called to
order for touching so closely on politics : on that
occasion he wished himself at Callington. (Cheers.)
He was at Callington today, and he should do what
he always had done—give his opinion on the pre-
sent state of politics in the House of Commons. As
he had long since felt that he belonged to no party,
he had the less difficulty in being perfectly unre-
served in the matter. They must not, however, think
by that that he was not in heart as at first—a strong
Conservative ; but, as he understood, there were
now no Conservative leaders. Sir Robert Peel built
up a strong and admirable Conservative party with
the greatest possible care, but he destroyed that
party, and now confidence in party had been lost.
There had been time to ttaia up another party, but
men seemed to have forsaken their principles for
the love of power, and because of that love they had
seen what had taken place so detrimental to the
interests of the country, and had it not been for the
independent men in the House of Commons—who
seek for no power, who stood forth free and united to
destroy the machinations of party—matters might
have been still worse. He would for a moment turn
to foreign politics; and perhaps there never was a
time when so ninny topics engaged the minds of
men. There were the India, China, and Italian ques-
tions, and a little matter over in America; and men
seemed divided in opinion on almost every topic,
But there was one subject in which all felt great
anxiety. Who did not put the question, " How do
we stand with France ?" Did they thipk the Prime
Minister of England, the acknowledged best dip-
lomatist in the country, or Lord Cowley, had the
slightest idea of their position with France ? He

thought not. 'They know little of that mysterious
impenetrable being, who always made up his
mind before he acted, and then, tiger-like, sprang
upon and made sure of his prey. They was a say-
ing that when a tiger had once tasted of human
blood he would not descend to meaner food. It
might be that the Emperor, having tasted of power,
would not be satisfied with anything less than an
increase of that power. Were he contented him-
self, he might not be able to control his army, espe-
cially now, when that army had been flushed with
victory in the Crimea and in Italy, and anxious to
avenge injuries neither forgiven nor forgotten.
Their duty now was to trust to no man. (Cheers.)
Their duty was to arm to the teeth ; not to be ex-
travagant with their navy in, the way they had
been, but to spare no expense in making it effi-
cient. They sliould also do that which the noble
lord had recommended them to do, viz., to join the
volunteer corps, so that they might show front to
the French and avoid invasion. How was it they
were so unprepared, and that the French had crept
up as they had by their side ? It was owing to
that miserable party feeling. (A Voice—Free dis-
cussion.) He knew it was free discussion, and ex-
pected to be hit hard if he deserved it. Their I
present condition was owing to the fact that they
had pandered to the peace party—peace at any
price; and the Conservatives had done the same
thing, thrown themselves into the arms of the
peace party, and now they find they had trusted to
a broken reed, and had become pierced and deserted.
As to the meeting next year, Lord Derby had stated
at Liverpool that he intended to be magnanimous.
He (Mr. Kendall) hoped he mightbe, as the ministry
would have enough to do; and that he believed
Lord Derby to be more magnanimous than Lord
Palmerston. Lord 'Derby could afford to be mag-
nanimous, for though he was pressed on by a hungry
party, still they were not half so hungry as those that
were pressing on the noble member for Tiverton.
(Laughter and cheers.) The hon. member then pro-
ceeded to say that there were two measures of im-
portance likely to come forward next session, if
foreign matters were not too pressing—the Church
Rates and the Reform Bill. The Church rate bill
of Sir J. Trelawny the speaker characterised as a
"robbery," but, notwithstanding, he much prefer-
red that to the bill proposed by Mr. Walpole. The
latter would only have caused .disruption in the
church, and he would rather have a robbery per-
petrated than have the peace of the church broken
by ill-feeling between the members thereof. He
highly eulogised the conduct of Sir J. Trelawny,
but expressed a hope that they should make out a
stronger case for continuing church rates than
they did last session. As to the Reform Bill they
must wait to see what it was, but he thought Lord
J. Russell ought not to have opposed the second
reading of Lord Derby's bill. having enlarged
on this point, the speaker said he must now_touch
on local matters. lie had had the honour of pre-
senting various petitions from the ratepayer's' of the
county praying that they may have a voice in the
county expenditure, and he had been asked to sup-
port the prayer of the petition. The speaker ob-
jected to an undue proportion of any class in the
management of this matter, and proceeded at length
to defend the county expenditure, contending that
it was impossible a greater check could be exer-
cised upon it than was done at present. As to the
County Asylum, of which he had been chairman for
20 years, a strict vigilance was also exercised over
its expenditure, and if he could not prove to them
that they were more economical in this respect than
they were in any other county, then he would not
be chairman next year; and having repelled some
attacks which had been made upon him in reference
to the management of the asylum and county gaol,
he said lie should be happy to answer any question
that might be proposed to him.
In reply to a question as to what position the
rating of mining duos now occupied,
Mr. KENDALL said that in consequence of the
death of Mr. M. Willyams, and the pressing busi-
ness which had come before Parliament, the matter
had been delayed, but as soon as he saw a fair, chance
of success he should urge the measure on.
Mr. W. SNELL, a yeoman, adverting to the re
marks of Col. Coryton and Lord Valletort, as to the
volunteer corps, said that he had heard many theo-
ries broached for the purpose of accounting for the
apathy of the yeomanry on the " volunteer" ques-
tion, and the one most generally received was that
they lived in remote districts, and their ideas did
not flow quite as fast as those of persons in towns ;
that they were dull, and had a certain thickness of
skull. (Laughter.) His theory, however, was, that
being engaged in a more healthful occupation than
those in towns, they had strong nerves, and their
nerves had not been acted upon as those of towns-
people. (Cheers) He did not think there was
occasion for half the panic which had taken place.
He believed the people had been misled by the same
party of the Manchester school who misled them in
reference to the Corn-laws; that was the reason—
and he had been pleased to see it—why such a
panic had ensued, and the agriculturists had been
uninfluenced thereby. He thought if they did jus-
tice to the agricultural interest they need not tear,
but that the yeomanry of the country would io their
duty. He also advocated the proper payment of the
soldier. The speaker proceeded further to dilate on
the state of military affairs mild the readiness of the
yeomanry to do their duty.
