AGRICULTURAL MEETINGS.
THE CENTRAL SUFFOLK AGRICULTURAL
ASSOCIATION.
The annual meeting of this large association took
place at Stowrnarket, on Thursday, and the exhibition
of stock of all kinds was abundant, and of the finest
quality. The members dined together in the evening,
including the two representatives for the division, (11. S.
Waddineton, Esq., and P. Benett, Esq., and the High
Sheriff, Henry Wilson, Esq. Three remarkable speeches
were made, on leases, increased production of land, and
the education of farmers' sons.
The Rev. COPPINGER Ham, observed, it had been inti•
mated that short speeches were to be the order of the
day, but with this desire he feared he could not comply.
Indeed, he felt convinc dhe could not. He was desirous
of making a long speech. (Laughter.) He wished to
take part in the discussion of agricultural questions.
He looked at the newspapers and found nothing but
speeches on leases, the education of farmers, and of
confusion to the game. (Laughter.) In compliance,
therefore' with the custom, he must make a speech on
each of these subjects. (Oh ! oh !) What did leases
offer to the farmer ? It was said they allowed him the
I hence of getting back the capital expended on the land
during his occupation in the way of improvements. Leases
might afford a chance to the farmer, but they gave no
certainty. (Hear, hear.) But though leases would
not secure the farmer from loss, there existed a well-
devised system of compensatory clauses, which might be
placed in action, capable of saving the farm. rs from any
loss at the close of his term of occupation, and also
averting loss to the landlord by a change of tenant.—
(Hear, hear.) He had considered this subject deeply
for a lengthened period of time, and his opinion was
this—that it was preferable to the occupier o have six
months' notice to quit, with compensa•ion for the value
of the improvements heihad made on the land, than trust
to the security the best lease could afford him.—(Cries
of " No, no.") Look at Scotland, the country to which
it was now the fashion and habit to turn on all ques
Lions of agriculture, where the lease expired and the te-
nant quitted at the same time. Look, again, at Lin-
colnshire, where it would be found that six months' no-
tice to quit, with the compensatory clauses in the agree-
ment, worked well, both for tenant and landlord.--
He was, therefore, of opinion, as h. said previously, a
six months' notice to qu't, with a compensation for out-
lay and improvement—the sum, of course, settled by va.
!nation properly made—was more remunerative and fair
to a farmer than the uncertainty of a lease.—(Hear,
hear, and No, no.) With respect to another subject—
the education of the farmer—he thought that class as
well educated, proportionately, as other classes. Stil
they must keep pace a ith the times, and provide intel.
leetually for those that followed in a corning generation.
(Hear, hear.) One plan he would at once recommend
to send their sons from home, for
" The homely keeping youth was ever homely wedded."
and to take advantage of those institutions established
for their benefit.—(Hear, hear.) As respected the game
question, he begged to say that, when improperly pre.
served, game was an insufferable nuisance —(Hear, hear.)
He had beard of a plan, tamever, to reduce the evil. He
was himself fond of the trigger, and, therefore, did not
think he ought to give it tongue, but he wished to adopt
a counter irritant—a St. John Long system—with re-
spect to game. Let the landlords preserve the game as
they pleased, but it the farmers would not cultivate vul-
pecidul propensities, the nuisance would soon be put
down.—(Hear, hear.)
F. Hones, Esq., replied to the observation of the Rev.
C. Hill relative to a six months' tenantcy. His opinion
was that an enterprising tenant would not be satisfied
by a holding that might expire at the end of six months.
—(Hear, hear.) There were improvements made and
money expended on a farm which no valuer could de-
tect, or detecting, appreciate—(Hear, hear)—and
though the occupier were paid for improvements, still
the uncertain tenure by which he would hold under
Mr. Hill's plan would be a bar to his prosperity
and comfort. The landlord on his p ,rt ought to have
a good and remunerative rent for his land, but he
thought he would not do his duty if he did not
afford to his tenant a fixity of tenure.—(Hear, hear.)
Before he sat down, he would allude to the observations '
made by Captain Rous, M.P. for Westminster, on the
subject of the e-rn. laws. That gentleman had said,
alluding to the Ministers, that no man ought to have
laid his head on his pillow, without attempting some-
thing to remedy the existing state of things, and he (Mr.
Hobbs) presumed that Captain Rous held the opinion
that the country must, or should, look to other coun-
tries for support—(Hear)—because of the increase of
the population, and the want of corresponding increase
in the productiveness of the land. If Captain Rous had
consulted Maculloch's Statistics, he would have found
that corn had increased in a two-fold ratio with the
population. And the land would do more than this. If
confidence existed between the landlord, the farmer, and
the Legislature, he fully believed the land would pro-
duce greater abundance than it yet yielded.—(Hear,
hear.) Ceuld any body visit one particular parish in
the kingdom, where, if the land was managed by a good
Suffolk bailiff, one bushel an acre could not be ga-awn
more than at present ?—(Hear, hear.) Well, then, put
the land into a sound state of cultivation such as this

possible increase indicated, and a vast increase would be
the effect.--(Hear, hear.) The waste lands, also, amount
ing to several millions of acres, could be made produc-
tive in time.—(Hear, hear.) All these things proved
to him that EnJand might become, by the energy of her
sons, an exportine• instead of an importing country.
—(Hear, hear, and much applause.)
The lIIGH SHERIFF proposed "the health of the
Chairman."—(Hear, hear.) He also alluded to the fair
prospects now before the West District of Suffolk, in
the railway in progress of construction, observing that
the realisation of the means to forward stock to Smith-
field without deterioration in flesh would be accom.
plished.—(Hoar, hear.) He wished to speak of an•
other subject, not new, but which hnd occupied the mind
of Mr. Mapletoft, and, indeed, himself, not long ago,
and had recently been revived by the Earl of Stradbroke
—he meant the subject of the education of the farmers.
—(Hear, he,r.) He was of opinion that agriculturists,
as a class, had not equat opportunities with others, of
properly educating their sons according to the advance-
ment of the times.—(Hear, hear.) He did not wish that
the sons of farmers should be made masters of the
classics—he did not desire that the sons of agriculturists
should show dragons' teeth, so that soldiers might
spring from them, or that they should think,
by extracting the cube of any given number,
they might have an extended knowledge of
agricultural implements. (Hear, hear.) He de-
sired only that a farmer's son should have the means
afforded him of obtaining a good, sound, and practical
education.—(Hear.) It was not the mere accident of
birth which made men, but education.—(Hear.) It
ought to be the object of all, that whatever profession
they followed, an attempt should be made for improve-
ment— that an effort should be made to create better
sailors, better soldiers, better philosophers, and to instil
into all the fullest sense of the responsibility of mankind,
and of their high position as moral creatures.—(Cries of
" Hear, hear.") He only wished the members of the
Association to talk over the subject among themselves,
for surely it could be but of the greatest advantage to
procure such an education as he had understood could
be obtained at Cirencester and in Hertfordshire, and at
an equally moderate expense. If the opinions of the
farmers ..f the county were in unison on the subject, the
thing was done. Public opinion was then obtained in
its favour—public opinion, which only spoke with a
whisper at first, but at length rose into a voice which
reached every ear—a voice which Government ought at
all times to respect.
Other topics were introduced, which called forth keen
arguments, and the whole proceedings may be charac-
terised as remarkable, compared with the usual run of
such gatherings.

LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Thursday in an enclosure at the top of Sackville•street,

that their funds continue in a healthy state, and that
after discharging all claims for the past year, their trea-
surer has a balance in hand of 151. 14s. 4,1.

The dinner took place as usual at five o'clock, in the
large room, Lucas's Repository. Lord Stanley in the

After the usual national toasts had been drank,
The CHAIRMAN said, in rising to propose "Prosperity
to the Liverpool Agricultural Society," he believed it
would not be deemed inconsistent with a very sincere
desire to promote the welfare of that Society, and the
important objects for which its maintenance was most to
be desired, if he should say that he trusted this would
be the last occasion on which he should have the oppor-
tunity of addressing the members of the Liverpool Agri-
cultural Society as a separate body.—(Applause.) He
had hoped that before that time, he still hoped before
that time next year, an union might be effected between
this and another similar society, (the Manchester So-
ciety,) which occupied the south eastern part of this county
and a greater portion of the northern part of the adjoining
county of Chester. He had hoped that that union would
have already taken place, and he still trusted that it
would take place within a short period, because he was
satisfied that such an union would be for the mutual
benefit of both Societies, and tend to extend more widely
the benefits derived from such Societies, for the exten.
sion of the sphere of influence of these Societies mate-
rially tended to promote the merit of the competition
raised within them.—(Hear, hear.) He did not by this
at all mean to deprecate the establishment of small local
Societies, confined within a very limited sphere ; on the
contrary, he thought they were calculated to do infinite
good. He rejoiced to see them springing up in every
direction, in every part of the country. He knew that
within their limited sphere they excited a spirit of emu
lation and desire of improvement whick could not be
excited by Societies having a more extended range.
He knew that improvements carried on under the eyes
of the fsrmers themselves, and by those with whom
they were most friendly and neighbourly, and of whose
means they would hare the power of estimating, and
by comparison with whom they might form a judgment
of what they themselves were able to accomplish—he
knew these were calculated to excite a desire of improve-
ment, and a spirit of competition, without which improve-.
ment in agriculture was not to be expected ; but
when that spirit had been exeited—when that emulation
had been raised, comparatively speaking, tiiat emulation
extending only over a narrow district of country could
effect little of good. Persons comparing their stock or
farms with their neighbour's, within a limited sphere,
were satisfied with moderate superiority—with very
moderate farms, very moderate stock, and very moderate
implements ; but when the feeling of emulation was ex-
cited by the competition of small societies, then the more
they could extend the range of large societies, to which
the smaller ones ought to be affiliated, the greater the
competition and the greater the range of improvement,
the greater the merit and the higher would be raised the
standard to which each in his separate locality would en-
deavour to rai-e himself.—(Applause.) And, therefore,

alluded to the danger to which the lives of passengers
are subjected when travelling on a railway whose con-
struction and management are confided to parties who
have nothing more than the immediate pecuniary profit
in their eye. The recent melancholy and fatal cases of
this nature which have happened in Englz.nd justify us
in calling upon all who have the control of railways to
commence at once an organisation that shall c ffectually
prevent such occurrences in future. Prevention is better
than cure.
" With respect to railways yet to be constructed, we
would avail ourselves of the experience which the past
has given us to avoid the justice of the censures we have
felt ourselves bound to pass upon this occasion. We
would advise directors to be cautious in taking the first
step after gaining the concession of their lino ; that is,
in fixing upon the party who shall construct it. Who-
ever, or whatever that party may be, it should be a
stringent condition that he be not a director, that he be
not one of the company, or that his interest in the de-
posits be not so great as to give him a preponderating
influence in the deliberations of the society. The party,
whether a company or an individual, who undertakes
the execution of the works, should stand in his natural
position as a servant, under certain conditions, of the
directors. If, on the contrary, he be one of their body,
or has an overwhelming interest in their deposits, he
will execute the works not as they, but as he may think
proper, and will be his own judge into the bargain.
There will be no control over him except that which his
own immediate interests may dictate. The disadvan-
tageous position which we have here supposed is the
very one respectively occupied by the directors of the
Havre line and their contractor. Hence, the complaints
that have been publicly made respecting the defective
condition of the works have not drawn forth a single ob-
servation, but have been treated with contemptuous
silence, because the contractor reports to the director,
and the, director is the contractor. Another strict rule
should be oberve Iby directors in future contracts, and
that is, that the interests of their engineer and those of
their contractor should not be identical. The want of
due precaution in. this matter, on the Havre line, has been
productive of much well-founded complaint."

she manifested her superiority, at Laxenburgh, by
bringing down more game with her heavy doahle-barrel
than all the royal sportsmen put together. If our readers
be apt to think that such an amusement hardly became
a Christian and a sovereign lady, they will at least
allow that it was a more dignified sport than that f 1-
lowed by the apostate Christine of Sweden, who, armed
with a little rifle of some !few ounces weight, was wont
to kill, and gravely bag, all the flies who dared to
trouble her royal presence. The heathen Domitian,
cultivating cabbages, presents a more tolerable spectacle
than either the Popish empress, or the now Protestant,
now Popish, and always pseudo-Christian Queen."

HAMBURGH MAIL.
I BERLIN, SEPT. 25.—The Voss Gazette of to day has
a long article on the derangement in the Zollvcrein and
in the conferences at Carlsruhe ; it says, among other
observations—" If we believe accounts derived from very
respectable private authority, Prussia will probably not
now resolve to yield to the South German States. In-
dependently of the general principles of the Administra-
tion, it seems to be justly apprehended that such
commission might render the important prospect
less and less probable of the accession of Hanover,
Alecklenbargb, and the Hanseatic cities to the Zollve-
rein ; and, in truth, the accession of these States is of
such immense importance, that even great temporary
sacrifices should be regarded. It is only through them
that the Zollverein can become a maritime power, whose,
coasts will no longer be kevt, by the Sound duties, in a
kind of hostile bloc-made. nut it is true that those States
are fully aware of their importance to the Zollverein,
and therefore demand a high price for !heir accession.
It is thought, however, *at the idea of separate Zoll-
verein has been conceived, which, in ease the differences
at Carlsruhe should lead to a breach, would form a
North German Union, of which Prussia would be the
head.
HESSE CASSEL, SEPT. 25.—Prom this day the ex-
portation of corn from the electorate is prohibited.
COLOGNE, SEPT. 25.—The Cathedral Journal con-
tains several documents, among which are the letter of
the King of Prussia, expressing his approbation of what
has hitherto been done, and promising to do his utmost
to promote the great work ; and 2, the address of thanks
to the Queen of England, fur the interest which she took
in the Cathedral durilig the visit to the Rhine, which
was manifested not only by the most gracious expres-
siont of approbation, but by a truly royal donation; and
an address of thanks has likewise been sent to the King
of Hanover.

HANOVER. SEPT. 24.—A new rescript of the Go-
vernment respecting the German Catholics declares
that a sect which adhere to the principles and resolu-
tions of the so-called Leipsic Council, cannot be tole-
rated or recognised in the Elec:orate of Hesse ; that the
members of such a sect cannot be allowed the assistance
of the evangelic clergy, and that private assemblies of
them cannot be permitted, but that their devotions must
be confined to their own families. •

NEW WORKS AT WINDSOR
AND ETON.
Restorations are going on gradually at St. George's
Chapel. The open-work parapet, which is at present of
compo, is to be reinstated in stone ; Pratt's carrying ma.
chine is to be employed on it. By the way, Holler's
print of the chapel (1663) shows every one of the pinnacles
surmounted by a vane ; these should be restored. Addi-
tional staine:l-glass windows have been recently inserted
in the north and south aisles. Henry VIII.'s
gateway opposite the chapel is under repair, and
the Salisbury Tower is being, rebuilt. Locke and Nes-
ham are the contractors. Caen stone is used. A new sewer
has been constructed in Windsor by the Government ;
the course of it is from Frogmore to Sheet•street,
and thence to the cavalry and infantry barrack,,, with
a branch to the Castle. It was proposed at first
to construct a more extensive line, and that the town
should contribute a portion of the cost. At a public
meeting, lieu-ever, which was called on the occasion, the
inhabitants unwisely, as it seems to us, refused to co-
operate in the matter.

At Eton College great alterations have been made.
The noted long dormitory has been divided into separate
apartments, and extensive ranges of chambers built in
Werton's yard, so as to afford a separate sleeping-room
to each scholar. The new rooms are all heated by hot
water. An apartment has been built to serve
as a library for the use of the pupils, and is a
handsome room with a large stained-glass
window by Willement, containing the arms of
her Majesty. the Prince, the Duke of New-
castle, the College, &c. The fittings are of
deal—they should have been of oak. Mr. Shaw is the
architect, Mr. Burton the contractor. The selected
drawings for the' restoration of the chapel arc
exhibited with the view of inducing subscrip-
tions. The design does not present any remarkable
features. If the rejected designs had fewer points of
value than this, they must have been very indifferent
affairs indeed. According to the proposed new arrange-
went, the organ is to be placed i❑ an apartment on the
north side of the building near the east end. The
chapel is to be vaulted with stone, and the body of it
filled with stalls and other sittings.—The Builder.
