STATE OF THE COUNTRY.

CANTERBURY, Saturday Pvcning.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

The adjourned meeting of the Agriculturists was he'd t Ere
o'clock this afternoon, at the Corn and Flop Exeharge, to take
into consideration the mate of the country. It was expecte,i
that some of the noble personages who had met the farmers on tit:.
preceding Saturday, would hate been present ; such, howercr, was L....
the case. _ . .

At half-past four o'clock, Mr. Cramp, of Garlinge, ascended
of the desks, and from it addressed the meeting, and said that he at.
tended at the request of Mr. Neamc, the chairman of the former day,
to let them know that there would be no adjournment, as Lad been
proposed, until the Magistrates, &c. should further consider the steps
necessary to be taken to preserve the peace of the county. It was,
however (said Mr. Cramp), lamentable to find that the plans which
had been adopted had prm(' but little effect, as the county seemed
still plunged in the same hideous state which had characterized it for
some time past, and property to an immense amount still continued
'to be destroyed. The meetings lately held thete, and by the Magis-
trates, had tried, by a nightly patrol, to restore the peace of the
county ; that plan, he was sorry to say, would consume itself, as the
expense of it could not be borne by the individuals on whom it fell. It
appeared to him impossible that the agriculturists could take the matter
up efficientl*—fer the acts of the incendiaries seemed to he so deeply
planned, that they could not be met. It only then remained for the
landowners and tithe owners to meet the matter at once—thus enabling
the farmer to take up the superabundant hands, and find employment
for them (Hear, hear.) Unless this were done, no real permanent good
could be effected ; and he hoped that against the tithe of their next
meeting, sonic gentlemen would be prepared to bring forward resolutions
to that effect. Due notice should be given of the time of holding the
meeting.
There was no further conversation, and the farmers, lee. Separated,
much disappointed at finding nothing done to meet the evils and dangers
with which they are hourly menaced.
Information was this day brought to the authorities hew that the
neighbourhood of Lydd, near New Romney, has, during yesterday and
this morning, been touch alarmed, by assemblages of the labouring
classes toe great number. On Friday morning a large multitude of
them waited on Mr. Springett, of Hawkhurst, a rich gentleman, and
formerly a tax-gatherer for that part, and demanding of him to sign
several documents, pledging ltimeelf to increase the wags of the la-
bourets, and to lower the rents of his premises. on pain of being drawn
through a horse.pond ; he resisted a long time, but finding they would
carry their threats into execution, he yielded to the demand. They
also waited on the clergyman of the village, who has a second living in
Sussex, and compelled him to promise that he would lower the rate of
his tithe at both places. They were then proceeding to Lydd, to put
the same system into execution against several individuals in that place.
These places border on the county of Sussex, and many labourers front
that county have joined their Kentish brethren.

They want 2s. rid. per day for labour, &c. There was a mob of about
fifty at my door this morning, who are going through the parish to
take away the labourers and servants, to add force to their num.
ber. They have taken away by three Mr. --- (our neigh-
bour's) men from the barns and from the plough, and they are
obliged to join the mob. They promise to be here again to-morrow
morning with a printed paper, and I suppose the object is to make
us farmers sign something to the above effect. This is a cu..

Nothing could be worse advised than the King's not going to eat a

woful effect throughout Great Britain. A sailor King afraid to meet

A correspondent writes thus :—" I here been informed from a respect-
able quarter that, previous to several of the late alarming fires in Kent,
it has been observed that a poet-chaise has arrived ice the neighbourhood,
and, after staying a short time, has gone away again; a fire has inva-
riably happened the same night."
CaA N B Roo —On Thursday, between one and two o'clock, a party of
about two hundred labourers appeared in this town, they walked in a
body through the streets in a very orderly manner, and. after soliciting
many of the inhabitants for assistance, in a short time quietly diapered.
Several of them went before the magistrates of the districts, who were
then helding their monthly sittings at the George inn ; the Bench very
patiently listened to their complaint, and promised to use its influence
to obtain employment for those out of work at the rate of 2s per day,
with which they appeared satisfied. The Chairman at the same time
remonstrated with them on the impropriety of assembling in that man-
ner, and added that the magistrates were determined to preserve the
peace.
An alarming fire broke out on Thursday morning in the stack-yard of,
Henry Hoare, Esq. at Wavendon, Bucks, which consumed a great
quantity of wheat, beans, and clover. No clue to the cause of the fire
has been discovered, and it is much feared to be the act of an incendiary.
—Northampton Mercury.
Early on Monday evening last, some person or persons set on fire a
haum stack, belonging to Mr. Hammond, of Ashfield, which in a short
time was quite consumed. It was situated at some distance from any
other stacks, or the destruction of much property would have been the
consequence.--Iva wick Journal.
IVednesday night, about nine o'clock, two large barley stacks be-
longing to Mr. Hill, of Briston, were discovered to be on tire in several
places. The flames, aided by a strong wind, illuminated the horizon
to an immense height, and could be distinctly seen for miles round. Mr.
Hill is a respectable man, a tenant of Sir J. Astley, and is the overseer
of the parish of Briston. As those stacks stood nearly a mile front any
premises, it was evidently the work of incendiaries. Although some of
the labouting classes lent their assistance, the majority stood looking on
in sullen silence, and would not move a hand to extinguish the fire.—
Inters asked, " Why don't you help and try to save the property, and
put the fire out ?" they answered, " What is the use of our assisting?
whether it be burned or not, it makes no difference to us—we are as
badly off as we can be, and it is impossible for us to be worse ; there.
fore it may take its chance."—Norwieh Mercury.
About four o'clock on Sunday afternoon a fire broke out in a straw
stack upon the premises of Mr. Jeffries, of Wilby, adjoining to which
was a barn, containing the produce of five acres and a half of barley.
This building took fire and was burnt down. On Friday night an alarm-
ing fire broke out in a barn occupied by Mr. Such, at Rayleigh'. The
flames spread with frightful rapidity, quickly setting fire to the adjoin.
ing hay and other stacks, and soon after its commencement the spectacle
was awfully terrific. The inhabitants greatly exerted themselves, and
evinced deep sympathy for the sufferers, mingled with execration for the
wretch who had so diabolically causal such destruction to property.
The premises were insured. diabolically

BlainsroNE, Friday evening.—A troop of the 6th Dragoon Guards
left our bamteks this evening ter Sevenoake, in Kent. In that quarter
the peasantry have mustered in great numbers; and as some of the in-
habitants have received epistles from Captain " Swing," serious disturb-.
mot are spprehenrted. Humour states that as attack is meditated upon
the Wilderness, the seat of the Lord Lieutenant of the county. which is
about a mile from Sevenoska, hut 1 am inclined to think that this is an
exaggeration. The Marquis Camden is extremely popular in that
neighbourhood. and I have good reason to believe that all the labourers
who are employed by the Diable Marquis ate amply remanerated for
their laboile.

The pauper who was apprehended on suspicios of beinf concerned in
a destructive flee at &anted has been discharged. That diabolical deed,
like the others wide% Imre indelibly disgraced tl►iss coonty, is sti II shrouded
In impenetrable mystery. No offer of reward so actirky on the part

(at least in West Kent) to these abominable outrages. How long the veil
will still continue to conceal the perpetrators it is impossible to say.

Threatening notices have, it is currently reporied. beer. addressed to 1
several owners of estates, in the neighlworhood of Horsham. who have
thrashing-machines; hut, however tnis may be, if true, the matter is
kept close. The threshing-machine is not, as supposed by many, profit-
able from the cheapness of its operations : it is espenstve to work, re-
quiring several horses, and considerable attendance; and is seldom put
in operation but on occasion of an expected rise in the markets : thus
enabling the owner to send in a far greater quantity than can be produced
by manual labour, and producing a corresponding advantage.

Thursday night, some soldiers of the 92d Regiment and of the 12th
Lancers, were drinking in a public-house in Thomas-street, Dublin,
when a dispute took place between sonic of the soldiers and the popu-
lace. A large crowd collected outside the door, which was closed by Mr.
Clinton, the owner of the public-house, and the mob began to call out
for the " bloody Scotchinen," alluding to the 92d. The soldiers were
kept in the house, until the hour for their going to barracks. When
they went cut, they were assailed by the mob, but the soldiers acted most
properly in not using their side-ants. There were cries of" Repeal of
the Union" amongst the populace while attacking the soldiers. 'Thurs-
day an investigation into the circumstances of the riot took place in
Arran-Quay police office, and the informations were transmitted to

SUGAR—The Sugar Market has continued dull all the week: ti
purchases are estimated at 2,000 lihds and tierces. In
prices Cal to Is lower have been submitted to. but we cannot quote any
general reduction of the market prices. In Refined goods there is little
general business reported, but it is stated there are several large con-
tracts made privately. There has been rather more inquiry towards
the close of this week for the shipping descriptions, and a few paresis
have been sold for crashing at about the quotations ; some small par-
cels of crashed of the middling descriptions have been taken off h.r the
Mediterranean at 33s to 445. For melting, Prussian lumps and low
single loaves are still being taken off at 70s to 71.. In grocery de-
scriptions there is no alteration.
FOREIGN SUGAR.— There have been no pur_•hasca of for, ign sugar
by private contract this week. At public sale a c irgo of Perm Rico
Sugars was hrought thrward, consisting of 207 hinds 53 brls : the qua-

is no alteration in the Coffee market this afternoon ; there arc more ii—
quiries.
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS--The Rum market is dull,
but the holders do not force sale►, as they expect a renewal in the de-
mand for export. Brandy is heavy; and may be purchased at a further
reduction. Geneva is unvaried.

COTTON—There is rather more inclination to do business in Cot.
tons, but the purchases are still inconsiderable ; they consist of 1160 Su.

arrivals came by land carriage, the prices of which are full as high as on
this day se'nnight. The supply of Earley is also short, and for very
prime picked samples Is. higher has been given ; the other sorts remain
as last stated. There is no great quantity of Oats ; but the last quoted
tetras were fully supported. Beans are short in supply, and maintaining
their former prices. Although the supplies generally arc so limited,
there is but little business doing in any kind of grain. Flour is short in
quantity : prices as before.
