Tiresdasi bring the day of the Aennal Meeting, the

when the eleetiou of officers took plate. Tbe Margate,*

The Vice-Presidents were re-elected, and the vacancy lit
their body filled by the election of Dr., Parry.. [The
istual Committees were then appointed, minutes of ge-
neral meetings throughout the year were read, and the
rrgnlar bosipess of the annual anoivereary ttaneacted.)
.The Report of the Agricultural Committee healer
beer read; Mr •Page objected to the strong explosions
contained in the enecludiag paragraph, respeetingehe
diocese of the Agrienkural Interest; and moved that
such paragraph should net be received as part of 'the
Report.. He was followed be the Reo. Mr. Lilly. who
ruse and expressed et some length. And ..i a an-elegant
speech, his disapprobation of the tertneof the passage of
the Report in question. Considering that the Society
was instituted fur the encouragement of Agriculture,- the
Rev. Gentleints appealed to the rood sense of the Meet-
ing, whether the language ofthat paragraph was at all
calculated to effect the purpose? -Whether language
that depicted ie perspective nothing hat.. bankruptcy,

or **courage agrienhare?—whetber it would pot, on the'
other hand, tend to paralyse the exertiees of• the indus-

laud imps-resents, and to plunge the embarrassed into
absolute despair ? lie thought a report should be con-
ss•lstory —such as to rouse into action •proportionate to
the pressure of the times the eaergiee of Ake farmer.
The Rev. Gentleman was repeatedly cheered, and tow

certain period of:War * pound sots and a shilling veer*
by no mesas equal to a guinea; and that a farmer who
brought a sack of wheat into Devises market being of-
. freed four one pound notes by one customer, and three
guineas in gold by another, accepted the latter. because
he could sell the guineas. for 27e. each, which would
nut one shilling more tato his pocket.—(Near, and a
laugh.)-111r. Bennett coocluded by. recommending the
agriculturists by no means to despair, but to unite in
their endeavours to removethe difficulties under st. hick
they laboured, and from which. be bad no doubt, they
would ere long he relieved.
Mr. Waist WESSON followed. and with great good
• humour, and a happy style of ironical and judicious
ottervatine, commented on the distress of the landed
Interest, and defended the Report. He showed the fal-
Loy of the general supposition that landlords had it in
their power to afford adequate relief to their tenants
without becoming paupers themselves, on account of
the burthens they had to bear, and contended that the
rise of rents at various times bad only nominally en-
richort the land-owners, as their public hurdle's& and
family settlements had constantly rise* in a greater ra-
tio. He acknowledged to have more than trebled Me
estates within the last forty years ; but it bad

•
Paris papers to the 23d haunt have arrived, and brought
a confirmation of the intalligeace of the disaster which be.
fel the Turkish fleet at Tentslos, *ad of another attemptl
of the Greeks of a similar kind, which did not wet
with the same success. A letter from Trieste, of the
Stit issuing says, the Captain of the Austrian brig
Triumph, arrived here in 28 days, and from Hydra in
14. He confirms the burning a Turkish ship of the line
i at Tenedos; and adds, that:lie fell in with an Austrian
vessel 14 days ago, coming from Coastaatinople, sad
this latter had told him that theeatastrephe of one poet
of the feet was known at Constantinople; that the
rest of it had entered the canal; sad that in passing
P•int illarlimel it bed been agailmattaCked by the Greeks,
who had passed the two first batteries of the Dardanelles I
with a fire ship; but tbat the current and a sadden calm,
had prevented the fire ship from-produeing the espoused
effect, and bad obliged the Greeks to'retrest in theirbosts.
The disgraces and defeats which have attended tkeTarkd
lido arms appear to have produced the utmost irritation
lamong tlligoveritors and governed, the army and the ;
I people, who &redivided sod at war among themselves.

Augsburg article,4, the Asiatics entered Constandnople,,i
but the Janissaries repulsed them with loss, in come
quenee of which there was a civil war between the Aga of
the Janissariee sod Ibrahim Ailqbot, the commander of
the Asiatics. The result'of flifled&Mfict will probably
decide the fate of the Porte., lilies:papers furnish us
mith no additional information respecting the gantlets
of peace or war. They give, holiver, further details of
the Coastitntionalists, who in all probability will soon
be witkowt tits vertigo of an enemy in Spain.
