Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obliga-
tion, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the
passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those im-
huritits., which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may
ave entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention are
attributable many of those hapless instances, which, while
they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also

Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in

relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering

A highly respectable, though not numerous, meeting
of the Agriculturists of the Western Division of the
county was held at the Star-inn, Maidstone. on Thurs-
day last. for devising means for giving rdief and en-
couragement to agriculture.

_
Osthe proposition of Mr. R. Allnutt, seconded by
Mr. James Ellis. Mr. Cator WAS called to the chair.
The petition, which is addressed to the House of
Commons was then read : it states—

That, actuated by a painful community of feeling with
the great body. of agriculturists, the owners and occu-
piers of land in the Western Division of the county of
Kent did, in the month of May last, offer to your Ho-
nourable House a petition for relief, which was referred
to a Select Committee of inquiry, and, from the incon-
trovertible evideace of distress adduced before that Com-
mittee, your petitioners entertained the most sanguine
bops that some measures would have been adopted to
afford the desired relief. In this they have been griev-
ously disappointed • but although the result of the ap-
peals hitherto made in their behalf has been thus unfa-
verseabita yet they treetop the-report of that Committee
so tally admits the distress of the agriculturists, that
the necessity for further protection, that your Honour.
ahle House will be induced again to give the subject a
full, fair, and minute investigation.
Your petitioners beg to represent, that the agricultural
difficulties and distress have increased and are increas•
sing—that the cultivation of the land isdeclining—that
many farmers ate ruined, others are leaving their farina,
and all are curtailing the employ of labourers, from their
inability to remunerate the usual and necessary number
of hands. Thus the willing and industrious labonrers
are compelled either to work at inadequate wages, assist-
ed by parochial relief, or become wholly dependent on
their parishes for support end employ.
Wherefore, your petitioners most humbly pray, that
your Honourable House will. in its wisdom, adopt such
measures as may appear best calculated to avert
impending ruin from the cultivators of the soil.
and afford them that relief so necessary to their indivi-
dual welfare, and so essential to the prosperity of the
nation.

The petition was carried unanimously.
Mr. R. K. Sustmearmo then rose. lie thought
the petition which had been read asked for no definite
and specific remedy for their relief. There could be
no doubt that distress was existing to an alarming de-
gree, the capital employed upon the land was fast ex-
hausting, and unless some specific measures were
adopted to protect agriculture, the most inevitable
ruin must follow. The price of wages given, and the
amount of taxation, tithes, and poor-rates, put this
country epos a disparity with all others in Europe.
There were only three ways by which the Legislature
could afford them relief : the one was a prohibition of
the importation of foreign corn ; the second was a re-
strictiveduty, which duty should place the produce of
this country on a parallel with other nations; and
the third was an alteration in the present Corn Laws.
The systems of taking averages now acted upon, be
conceived, was the cause of the dreadful depression of
our market; it was indirect, uncertain in its effect,
and liable to great evasion, collusion and bribery.
The great glut of corn is our markets could not be
from the superabundance of last harvest; it was
doubtless occasioned by one half of our farmers being
obliged to come to market from necenity, and to take
whatever price they could obtain. True it was, that
speculations in corn were made, but at such low prices
that the purchasers would have a good chance of gain-
ing considerably by selling out before the markets
should advance so much as to cause any risks of the
ports opening, and thus profitting on the aoavoidina
misfortunes of the poor farmer.—(Hear, hear.)—it
was particularly mysterious and unaccountable to him,
bow that week after week we found 3,000 or 4,000
quarters of foreign corn imported. and placed under
the King's lock. He had as much respect for the
Excise Officers as a body of men, as any ether body ;
bat where there were large profits to be made, there
were strong temptations to bribe; and were large
bribes were offered, they were sometimes bard to resist.
With regard to the prohibition of import either fot a
limited or indefinite period, to which be could not see
no great objection, if it was true that an average crop
was equal to oar spatial consumption; bet that be
feared such a measure would create so mach alarm
amongst the mapsfaetaring consrnuaity, that it
Would' be too unpopula► to attempt it. He concluded
by stating, that its, thought nothiag would tend 'to.
their alleviatioi but a restrictive duty.
Sir EpwAso Ksocueut.t, said, that he bad re-
seised a letter from Lord Staabope, istimating that a
requisitiou'vral la tVe-course of signature to the High'
Sheriff, to convene a county meeting. tie

with their permission, read bis Lordship's letter. of
which the foliowieg is the substance • •
His Lordship trusted that the meeting of this dee
would agree with him, that their petition mid effete:
*elMi without the support of a' county uniting:
which would have more weight than a private meet.
tog. A Kent county Meeting would attract consider-
able attention. and would have the effect of envie( as
an example to other counties. His Lordship could
not anticipate any opposition at the meeting, as it
was not his intention to propose in his resolution key'
alteration in the Corn Laws. He should merely state
the existing grievance; and he hoped, with this.view
of the business. the Gentlemen present at this meeting
would give their sanction and support to the County .-
1 issiting. His Lordship begged Sir Edward weld
lay his letter before the present targeting, and dims
his firm attachment to the agricultural interestowea state
his absence was only occasioned by the eirenusitanes
of his having promoted a county meeting; after Which
it would appear inconsistent if he were to attend a pri-
nts meeting on the subject."
Sir Edward then said, he knew not what theiretn-
dments were with respect to a county meeting: if it
was considered expedient to have one, be meat hope
that one meeting would not clash with the (Watt. He .
addressed the meeting under feelings of great anxiety,
and he wished he could give them more sanguine hopes -
of their object being attained. It would. he was suer,
be in the recollection of many of them, that at a sia.t- '
ler meeting holden in that room, petitions had been
placed in his bands to present to Perliament, and he
hoped he hail faithfully and zealously performed the
task confided to him. The petitions which had been
presented to the House were referred to a Select Com- -
mince, who founded a Report thereon : it was a report
which had not been satisfactory to the agriculturists.
lie (Sir Edward) could not in his conscience vote in
favour of that report, because it did not do that which
he conceived was necessary to afford relief.—(Ap-
plause.)--The protection of the farmers was the ba%is
upon which this country rested, and in advocating
their cause, he was seeking the interests and wt 11-
being of every person in the community. Ile wow
there ready to speak his sentiments on the subject, and
to answer any question, be trusted, to their satisfac-
tion.—(Applause.)
The several resolutions were then put, and carried
unanimously.
Thanks were also voted to the Chairman, fir la's
conduct that day, and for his general activity in the
cause of the agriculturists.
After this, a discussion took place on the propriety
of a county meeting.
Mr. D. J. PARKER said, that as there had been Men.
ings in East and West Kent on this subject, he slid
not see the necessity for a county meeting.
Mr. ALLNUTT stated that the distresses in that part
of the county from whence he came (Penshurst) ex-
ceeded all belief. In the six neighbouring parishes
adjoining to his, there was not one farmer in ten
solvent, one-third of the population was out of ea-
ploy, and one-third of the land was now vacant. and
only kept on by the kindness of the landlords. Ruin
was quite apparent in the western career of the coun-
ty; and if the Marquess of Londonderry, when he
came into Kent to spend his Christmas holidays,
would only give him three day' notice, he would be
bound to get together three thousand workmen out
of employ.
Sir E. KNATCHBULL said, he feared the agriculturists
would not receive all that relief that was desired ; but
when the question came forward for discussion he
should be at his post, and would urge their claims all
that it was possible, but in Parliament much differenco
of opinion exists on the question. As some allusion
had been made to Lord Londonderry, he must express
that the country owed much to him, and that the agri-
culturists have in him a firm and able advocate. He
must s..y that the agriculturists received great sewn
from him, and it would be ingratitude in him were he
not to do him the justice which he deserved.
Mr. ALLxurr begged to state, that his allusions
were sot made out of any disrespect to the Noble
Marquess ; he merely mentioned him from his residing
in the county. and being a part of a particular body of
men who govern the nation.
Mr. J. Mitten said, the agriculturists would much
rather have the vote of the Noble Marquess than his.
friendship.
Sir R. KZIATCHBULL said, he certainly expected to
receive the vote of the Noble Marquess on the next
division on the subject.—The meeting then broke up.

The following article, says The Cork CAroxicle, we
have been favoured with by a valuable and highly re-
spectable Correspondent. Many of its statements we
know to be correct, and the others we state on audio-
rite too highly appreciated to leave on our minds any
doubt of their exactness. That such a state of society
as that described by our Correepondeat, could, fir
any length of time, exist without producing the fear-
ful and dangerous effects which are knows to obtain
in the County of Limerick and its niglibonrhood, is
totally improbable t and that a Peasantry could any
where be found blind and mad cough to ester into
lawless combination against the peace and welfare of
the Country, and with the risk of every thing that a
sordid being can hold dear, for so one defiolte purpose
but a hove of riot and disorder, is a notion mo rialica-
lons to be seriously entertained far a snoniant by any
man of refection.
