FifRMING INTELLIGENCE.

BaLLinast.oe' Ocr. 6.—The Farming Society
of Ireland held their General Meeting here on
Monday, the 4th intl. It was highly gratifying
to every one interetled in the profperity of Ireland,
to nbferve the rapid progrefs which this ufeful and
patriotic intlitution ha% made in the &on period
of two years. The live Rock exhibited for pre-
miums far furpaffed the molt fanguine expo tations.
of the Society, and of thofe who viewed them.—
The attendance of Members was (till more nunie-
rous and refpeetable than at any former meeting.
Among thofe prefent were—Mr. FOSTER, Prefi-
dent, the Marquis of SLioo, Vice-Prefident, and
the following Members of the Committee :
Mr. Latonchei'Mr. Wynne, Mr. John Garnet, Mr. Doyne,
Mr. Ro(elidshon, Mr. Richard Wynne, Mr. Gderfon, Mr.
Robert Wynne, Mr. Reyndl, Mr. seditre, Mr. Power
Trench, Mr. James Hamilton, Mr. George St. George, Mr.
Sculley, and Mr. Lloyd; alfo Lord LOngford, Lori Dunlo,
Lord Ca ftlecoote, Lord Clonbrock, Lord Aihtown, LordJ Kil-
mine, Sir Edward Crofton, Sir Richard St. George, Sir ohn
Fricke, Sir Noon Aylmer Sir John Marartney, Sir Thotnas
Burke, Meffrs. Aftley, Knowles, and Pinter, (from Leicef-
teratire) Mr. Trench, Mr. Pared, Mr. French, Mr. Lambert,
Mt. Waller, and in tort aimoft every refpedtabk and public
'Picked farmer in Ireland.
The Society were accommodated with a fpa.
cious piece of well enclofed ground for their thew
of live flock, which took place on Tuefday the
sth. Several excelkntfpecimens of long-horned-
Hereford, .and ibort•horried cattle were prodnced,
infinitely fuperior in beauty and utility to thofe.
exhibited at any former Phew. A fubjedt of great
importance and difficulty engaged thi attention of
the S ociet y,namel y,the deftruai ve praaic e of buying,
up all the fineft and belt heifers of the country for
fattening, and leaving. the very worn for breed, a.
practice which if continued mutt produce a rapid
degeneracy in the neat cattle of Ireland. Legitla-
tive rellriaions were recommended, but were con-
fidered impradticable and impolitic : perhaps no.
thing would be fo effeaual as to affimilate the
mode of breeding cattle to that of 'beep, ;attend
of fattening the belt heifers to give them to well.
bred bulls—they would produce excellent heifers
and bullocks, which would bring very high prices,
and would pay the graziers infinitely better in the
fame period than the prefent fyftem—thofe heifers
being judicioully Melted and again put to breed
with.gocd bulls would produce further improved
calves, and an ufeful flock would be rapidly fpreid
through the country.
The premiums for long-woolled [beep have al-
ready fully anfwered the intentions of the Society.
Van numbers of the fineft of the new Leicefter
breed have been imported, and fuch a 'general
emulation has been excited among the Weeders as
"mutt be produaiva of the greatelt benefit to the
country. The old byeeders are in giessal cow
vinced of the advantage .of hiring newiaidellse
rams; and probably in a few years all the long-
woolled &cep in Ireland will have a minute of
blood.

The improvement in the breed of Swine has
been truly furprifing—there were finial excellent
individnals exhibited, the produce of which are
likely to be diftributed over the whole Wand in a
very fhor,t period—amoli zealous and enterprifing
Member of the Society fuftained a great lofs by
the death of an uncommon fine boar, which was
unfortunately fuffocated on his way to the thew.
There were thirteen candidates for the premiums
in the clefts of long horned cattle, who exhibited
above thirty beafts s three for the Hereford, who
exhibited nine four for the fhort horned, who ex-
hibited above twenty of the Holdernefs and Tees-
water,breeds.' thirteen for long wuolled fheep, who
exhibited above three hundred and eighty, all of
the New Leicetler breed ; three for thort 'moiled
fheep, exhibited twenty South DOwns ; and fix
candidates exhibited eight pigs.
Aftcr dinner the ,Prefident announced from the
chair thedqermination of the judges appointed to
decide upon the merits of the live ftock prodicod
for the premiums in the feveral chines.
The adjudications were received with general'
fatisfation,_ and feveral toafts applicable, to the

and valuable mine of wealth, the openiog of which, late. Duke of Bzproaa was given by the Prefident,

The premiums for fhort wonlled fheep were
;claimed for the South Down breed only ; thole
exhibited were much approved of,.and were confi-
dered the very belt kind of (beep which could be
introduced into the light grounds and mountainous
difirias of this country, where hardiaefs and aai-
vity are indifpenfible ; they are fingularly caku-
lattd for travelling when fat from the molt remote
parts to the metropolis; the excellence and high
flavour of their fleth is very generally adniitted,
and their wool is likely to be. very beneficial to
.the manufacture of fine cloth in Ireland. It is to
be hoped the manufa6urer will fee it his interelt.
to bold outfulficient eicouragement to the growth
of clothing wool, to which our climate is better
adapted than that of Spain or any of the warm
countries.

The aggregate of the experts by the Black Sea
would become much more corifiderablc for France,
than that of the Englifh and Dutch by the Baltic ;
and the imports through this channel would alfo
be much greater than through Dantzie. Koningf

thellDWefter, being once made navigable through
their whole extent, penetrate much farther into
the interior of the country than the Niemen or '
Vinula, The canal of Muchama, which already
joins the Vifiula at Pazipee, and that of Ogintki,
which might be continued fo as to unite the Bo-
sinews to the Niemen, would of courfe enable
the whole of ancient Poland to share in the coat-
. coerce of the Black Sea, and join, to the already
immenfe advantages of this trade, thole alto of
the Baltic.

Rolm, which has allotted a part of this country
to berfelf in the general partition, begins to en-
courage the trade of the Black Sea, which truly
pre:lints fuck magnificent profpeEts, and has even
recently contlrudied a new port named Odeeßa or
Odgibia.

' The emulation excited by the Firming Seciety.
of Ireland, has already brought forth the energy
of our young nobility and gentry, and has laid the

OCT. 9.—Ballinafiot Fair ended on Friday—it
never was attended by half the number of Nobility
and Gentry, all of whom are of the Farming So-
ciety. Mr. Wvana's bull, fame rams and ewes,
that were exhibited at the thew, were very fine, as
were Mr. Goma% two years old wethers, but in
general the thew flock were bad ; every kind of
flock went off well at the fair—Mr:Bßowss, of
the county of Mayo, got for too bullocks, ad.
each, a price never known there. Mr. GOING'S
wethers fold to Mr. GARNET, Mr. BURKE'S of Ba.
lidogan, alfo fold to him, and Mr. WARD, of Sif-
cub's fold to Mr. DoYLI, were fuperior to all
others : the latter gentleman's were allowed by the
beft judges to be the bet ever produced for Pale at
Ballinafloe. Mr. 'CARROLL'S ewes brought in (mall
lots from 7to la guineas each. Mr. WADE exhi-
bited ewes of a very fine kind ; though not in the
falltion of the day, he fold them at bigh prices ;
the demand for high priced wethers was not fo
brific as the laft /ear; however, the Fair was what
the Connaught people call a good one.

brants, and uttering the fame with intent'. to de-
fraud Paid Wybrants and Meffrs. Beresford atitt'CO.
James Ford, Clerk to Meffrs. Beresford and-Co.
proved that the prifoner, of whom he had a pre-
vious flight knowledge; came to the bank with the
bill mentioned in the mdiament, which the 'Avers
received, and kept-to know if it would be approv-
ed of ; the houfe did approve of it; it Was dif;
counted : however, the witnefs remarked upon the
tingle name of Robert being to it, inftead of the
name-of the firm. The prifoner fhid Mr. Robert
Wybrants was his friend. In fame time after
Kean was apprehended, and brought to the,bank,
where the witnefs identified him. A converfation
then paged between prifoner and witnefs, in which
the prifoner acknowledged his guilt, and the en-
tire fad of his forgery—faid he was robbed, but
in the bufinefs he had no accomplice. The wit-
nefs held out no threat or promife—thinks before
this the prifoner was a man of general good cha-
raCter.

The Connie' for the Crown offered to produce
Mr. Robert Wybrants, but this was objected to by
the prifoner' Counfel, Mr. Brru EL, who relied he
could not be examined unlefs there had been a
releafe.
