Repeal movement both here and in Ireland. and
to relutlng the erroneous charges that 1t has III

The same evening Repeal meeting was held
in the Capitol, at Albany. The hall was most
unplcasanty crowded. Judge Canscvoort was
in the chair, and several men Of standing acted
as Vice Presidents. Several stirring speeches

FARMERS CLup''-The Club met on the 22d
instant, conformablc TO notice, at the Pacific Ho-
tcl,-thc first Of the kind ever held IN the City OF
New York. It was more numcrously attended
than those who took an interest in the call cx-
pccted. 1t was truly one OF the most intellectual
and gratifying meetings VIC ever attended. Agr-
culture and Horticulture were the all-crgrossIng
subjects that occupied the whole time. The sub
jcct Of Silk, among others, came under consldera-
ton. 1t was unanimously agreed that the public
good required that this great and rapidly growing
interest should be encouraged; and a Convention
during the Sixteenth Annual Fair. was recon-
mendcd The Annual Report of the New-EnS-
land Silk Convention has opened the eyes OF those
who before doubted the feasibility OF the produc-
ton of Silk in this Country. 1t was shown to be
rapidly increasing every year. Legislative boun-
ties afford important data, as far as they extend,
proving its increase.

An increase in seven years OF more than SIX thou

continuance of bounties in the States where they
have been bestowed, and their adoption IN States
which have neglected to bestow them. Silk Will
most assurcdly, in few years become one OF our
great national staples. It's encouragement creates
no sectional jealousy, as it is successfully grown IN
every State in the Union a Convention should
not fail to be held during the Sixteenth Annual
Fair, next Autumn; and every Silk culturlst IN
the Country should make returns OF every pound
of Silk he has produced, and every experiment
and improvement should be detailed.
