FAILURE OP A CORN MERCHANT.--IN RE BASSALT.•

JUDGMENT.

His Honour this morning gave judgment in the case of
this bankrupt, who was a corn dealer and factor at Ux-
bridge, and the application for certificate was argued at
great length a few days since.

108 110

The bankrupt had been indicted on several cases, but
acquitted, and it was urged on his behalf that he ought
not be subjected to any penalty under the Bankrupt laws,
but he was strongly opposed by tne assignees on general
grounds, and by Mr. Way, a creditor, for fraud.
His Honour reviewed the general facts of the case. The
bankrupt had carried on business for 20 years, and had
acquired a reputation which induced persons to place great
confidence in him, and ho appeared to have maintained that
reputation without spot or blemish up to July, 1860. His
Honour said he would read the report of the official
eeignee, founded on the accounts by Messrs. Harris
Brothers and Ha les and to which he was, no doubt, in-
debted forunro)t being Convicted at the Criminal Court. He

as to the cause of suspicion, he would give the assignees
and Mr. Way time to consider whether they wished pro-
tection to be withheld, which, if he indorsed the writ, they
must do. He should adjourn his formal judgment for a
week.
The assignees and Mr. Way said they would consent to
protection being granted.
His Honour said it must be a request, not a consent.
Trotection was then granted.

NARRN, ESCAPE.—On Tuesday afternoon three
workmen were engaged blasting rock in the Whitlaw cut-
ting. They had colDpleted a boring, and were in the act of
ramming home the charge of powder, when, it is supposed,
the iron with which they were packing the shot struck
against some substance which caused a spark to ignite the
gunpowder. A fearful explosion took place right in the
faces of the men, tossing them in all directions, one poor
fellow being thrown nearly 30 feet, yet, strange to say, none
of them were hurt, with the exception of one man, who
sustained a slight cut on his loft eyelid.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER ."8, 1861.

IRELAND'S AGRICULTURAL PRO-

GRESS.

( From the Speoial Correspondent of the Times.)
ULSTER SCHOOL FARM, BELFAST, OCTOBER.

Ireland does not lack public 'institutions for advancing
the arts of husbandry and breeding, and developing the
scarce-discovered virtues of her soil. We do not speak
now of the Landed Estates Court, which secures the much-
needed union between land and capital; the Board of Works,
which provides roads, trunk-drains, and loans for under-
drainage, building, and every class of farm improvement,
• .dosel
and which has vast amendments yet to make in the river
channels of the country, notwithstanding the great scale
works we have summed up in a previous paper—the Ord-
nance Survey and Valuation—which supplies the proprietor
with an accurate map of his fields, geologically coloured,
and with contour lines of level by which road-making, drain
excavation, &c., may be laid out; the Statistics Department
under the Registrar-General, which chronicles results and
guides the future of Agricultural production ; and other
agencies more or less closely connected with the Go-
vernment. There is the Royal Dublin Society "for
promoting husbandry and other useful arts," hold-
ing large spring and winter shows of cattle and
produce, always in Ireland's metropolis, and latterly
in the beautiful Aricultural Hall erected for the pur-
pose. There is the Royal Agricultural Improvement So-
ciety, modelled after our English society, but Saving a
more liberal constitution so far as the election of council
members is concerned. This national organisation is well
supported by the landed gentry and the higher class of
farmers, breeders, and graziers. Its grand effort is the an-
nual autumn exhibition of live stock and implements in
some provincial town of Ireland, to which are added the
promotion of improvement in the dwellings and domestic
condition of the agticultural population, giving the publi-
cation of a report and transactions, giving its members pri-
vileges of chemical analysis by the society's chemist, and
the encouragement of local farming societies by premiums
for cattle, cropping, well-managed farms, ploughing or
digging matches, cleanly cottages, &c. Thirty such as-
sociations, in all parts of Ireland, are now in connection
with the central society, and are doing much to intirse
a taste for good management among the generally backward
farmers. In some distEcts, however, particularly of the
South and West, we heard complaints that the efforts of
such institutions aro thankless and hopeless;little impression
being as yet made on the apathetic tone of the small cultiva-
tors; while, in spite of the rigid exclusion of sectarian and
political matters from these societies, religious parties
will not all unite in supporting these means of elevating
a rustic community. Another valuable institution is the
Chymico- A gricultural Association of Ulster, with its con-
sulting chymical professor at Belfast. But where, in a
kingdom full of cattle, is the indispensable school of vete-
rinary medicine? At present, existing only as a project,
but which, for the credit of Ireland, and to be in harmony
with the characteristics of her husbandry, should be carried
into practical and beneficial realisation.

Among the valuable means which are working for the
advancement of Irish farming aro agricultural schools, un-
der the supervision of the Board of National Education,
which by its ordinary schools is achieving such marked re-
sults in the general instruction of the youth of Ireland.
Several classes of agricultural schools are assisted or sup-
ported by the Board. First, workhouse school-farms, where
on the recommendation of the Agricultural Inspectors, the
masters receive a gratuity averaging about £5 per annum,
there being at present about 50 such school-farms of 1 to
26 acres in 22 counties. Second, ordinary school-farms,
where a master rents a few acres, devotes a part of each day
to indoor and outdoor agricultural teaching, and is allowed
£5 a year in addition to his salary. Of such, there are now
42, in 20 counties,havingplots of ground of from 1 to 27 acres,
and instructing from 5 to 66 pupils each. Third, agricultural
schools, under local management, where the master bears
the expense, takes the receipts, and receives £lO yearly
from the board. Fourth, agricultural schools managed ex-
elusively by the commissioners. These two classes comprise
36 considerable farms, with model farm buildings, and large
and handsome establishments for the accommodation and
instruction of pupils. In 1859 the number of agricultural
boarders at these schools was 216, and of agricultural day-
pupils 1,145 ; and as a college to which these establishments
aro preparatory, there is the Albert National Agricultural
Training Institution at Glasnevin, near Dublin. This was
established in 1838 to supply such instruction in scientific
practical agriculture as will qualify young men for land.
stewards, agriculturists, agricultural teachers, and so on;
the students (generally the sons of farmers) having for the
most part obtained farms or situations, and a small propor-
tion emigrated. In the large and handsome building are
dormitories, dining-hall, lecture end school-rooms, for
seventy-five resident pupils ; a museum, library, and labo-
ratory, and apartments for the superintendent, matron,
land-steward, literary teacher, and servants. The lite-
rary instruction includes book-keeping, land surveying,
levelling, and mapping, as well as the usual branches
of a sound English education, and lecturers of high
standing give courses in animal physiology and pathology,
botany and vegetable physiology, chymistry and geology,
practical agriculture and horticulture, the whole being
under the supervision of Dr. Kirkpatrick. The farm con-
sists of 180 acres, on which various systems of rotation-
cropping 'are exemplified, and the best implements and ma-
chinery used; and in the large 4nd complete set of farm
offices, with steam engine and thrashing machine, mills,
&c., stall-feeding of dairy cows, fattening of cattle, &c., are
carried on. All the labour is perfm,ned by the pupils, in-
structed by one ploughman and ono herd; and they are also
taught the practical management of a kitchen and fruit
garden, of a Inery, conservatory, and flower garden. The
habits of cleanliness end regularity, not without taste for a
pleasant home and garden, and the knowledge of abest way
of effecting every agricultural process, acquired in the nu-
merous agricultural seminaries by the large number of pupils
we have named, must exert a happy influence upon the next
generation of Irish farmers; and as far as this head insti-

tion of Glasnevin is concerned, the degree of proficiency at •
tained by the average scholar, shown in the examination
papers, is highly creditable alike to the young mon, to their
instructors, and to the Board of National Education. Of
course, it is important that a model and instruc-
tionary farm should pay. At many, but not at all the
schools, this is the case ; but the very circumstance of the
land being cultivated for other purposes than the simplo
business of making a profit operates agaiust the balance •
sheet. Thug, some fields must be left wet in order that
pupils may learn how to drain; the various operations must
bo attended to at only certain hours consistent with the in-
door duties, aid so on,

Munster School-farm, near Cork, under the management
of Mr. Cunningham, leaves a handsome balance every year,
and is certainly well stocked at the present time. The land
(127 acres) is rented of the Duke of Devonshire; it is
worked by four or five hired labourers and 12 pupils (though
the school has accommodation for 32), the husbandry com-
bining dairying with tillage, Mangold-wurzel, manured,
is followed by wheat ; then comes a stolen crop of vetches
for soiling milch cows, succeeded by swede and Aberdeen
turnips. Barley is the next crop; then Italian ryegrass
and red clover, cut for soiling and top-dressed with guano
and liquid manure after each cutting. This artificial grass
crop is grazed the next year, and ploughed up for oats. The
milk of 29 cows yields butter, chiefly salted in firkins, and
partly sold fresh ; eight or ten cows or heifers are fattened
off in loose boxes in winter upon mangolds, turnips, straw,
and oilcake ; and young breeding sows are sold out of the
piggeries. The farmstead is exceedingly well arranged and
fitted with every modern requisite. At present there are
four horses, 54 cattle, and 14 pigs upon the farm; the va-
luation (made in March by the inspector and a practical
farmer in the neighbourhood) of live stock, farm produce in
hand, crops sown, implements, and manures, came to
£1,558; and last year the farm yielded a net profit of £194.
Ulster School-farm, near Belfast, is in less faveurable
circumstances. The land, 109 acres, is a clay, lately
taken in a wet and miserably poor condition ; the fences
were thrown down, so as to bring the whole into large en-
closures; draining partly done 4 feet deep and at 8 yards
distance, and only part of the farm has yet been brought
into good order for 4-course husbandry. There are some
fine swedes now growing, a good crop of beans in stock,
and a fair crop of oats just harvested. The institution is
chiefly for training school-teachers, but has accommoda-
tion for ten agricultural pupils, there being at present six.
Twelve witch cows are kept and some young stock, but the
business is, so to speak, an outlay until the poverty and
wetnes of the ground have been expensively overcome by
draining, manuring, and good tillage.
It is unnecessary to enter into details of the age, preli-
minary examination of candidates for instruction, terms
paid, &c. ; but as considerable misapprehension has arisen
concerning the state and usdul office of the Irish agricul-
tural school-farms, we have g;ven a brief notice of those
visited in our route. At:Athy, Ki'keruy, Londonderry,
and other places are well-conducted satisfactory establish-
ments, giving sound scientific, and, at the same time,
thoroughly practical, ag.lcrltr-al education to many lads
and young men; and the youths must be dull and unap-
preciative indeed if they do not in after-life aim at con-
forming their own farm;ag to the model st?-.nlard, just so
far as the'r circumstanees will permit.
