REPORT OF AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
AND REID SCHOOL OF PRACTICAL
CHEMISTRY FOR THE YEAR 1864.

The General Agricultural Society has to con-
graduate itself in these+ery hard times, extend
ing ali over the world, that it has not participated
in the general misfortunes, being in point OF num-
bers and funds in a better position than at the close
Of the previous agricultural twolvemonth.
The crop of the island was in consequence OF the
long continued drought a very short one being
only 36l03 hhds. while that for the previous year
numbered 1896 hhds. 1t was however hoped that
its deficiency would have been in some measure
COMPENSATED by Observation-Disclosures prices. A
confidently predicted falling off in supply through
out the world seemed to give certain promise that
producers of sugar would at least have benefited
to the extent of the reduction of duty on sugar ct
fected by the late budget of the Chancellor OF tho
Exchequer. But our Just hopes for a good market
have been disappointed to the great depression of
the community. Sugar which stood in an anoma-
lous position consequent on the then recent alte.
rations of the duties and the tightness OF the
money market suffered q greater reduction in value
in the markets of England than any other article
except cotton. The sugar crop OF the world prov
ed greater than WIS expected the Beetcrop OF the
Continent also turned out more than was at first
estimated. and an unusual supply of refined sugar
from the Continent to England served to place our
staple at an unremunerative price. We see how
ever for the future grounds for expecting gradually
better prices the money market is res"fning a
healthy condition the English-retlners begin to
see their way to renewed operations consequent on
n convention betgoen England and the continental
governments, which will relieve England of the
late heavy supply of continental loaves. 1t is yet
unsettled how far the late alteration of the sugar
duties nav alter the position in the English market
of Barbados sugar. The refners at present shew
q preference for an inferior sugar to our own,
while our best is still short of what is required by
the English grocers.
The drought to which the short crop of the pre-
sent year IS entirely attributable, and which has
resulted in so much ruin amongst land owners-as

AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.
Vienna, Jan. IA.

The Press$ of to-day says:-
1--WE learn from a reliable source that the
following is the purport of the Notes lately ex-
cnangad between Count MensdoDf and Herr
Won Bismark =
" Ausrria dcci,ivoIy repudiotcs the partiri-
patton proposed to her in forcible measures
against the Middle States, represented as revo-
luJionary by Herr Won Bismark. Austria will
not abandon the ground Of Federal ri2hf, and
reminds Herr Won Bi,mark, in case Prussia
should desire the annexation of the DuchirS, Of
linn through Count Karoiyi rhis wa. to the
effect hat Austria would only consent to an
nexotion upon being compensated by enlarge
ment of her German ttrritory."

choices gems his Judicial writings. We are
proud to have such a citizen, proud to have
such judge, proud of the honors he gains.
JUDGE LAWRENCE.
Judge Lawrence, a native of Vermont, has
been on the supreme bench but for a short
time. He is from the northern part of the
state, As lawyer and circuit Judge he has
gained a wide reputation beyond the Illinois
river. He is undoubtedly man of rare abil-
ity. In personel he much resembles Judge
Trumbull. the distinguished Illinois senator,
acknowledged one of the best lawyers of the
west Judge Lawrence during the short
time he has been on the bench, has gained
the confidence and respect of the bar. A
man of fine education, first class intellectual
capacities and great judicial learning, he can
not fail to add to to the reputation of our
court. In private intercourse the Judge is
affable and cordial, in politics. of course, he
Is on "the other side" but nevertheless we
have taken quite a liking for him, and though
a Vermont Yankee. if we lived up In his re
gion, we should "bolt" for him, though We
would promise to do it in no other instance

New England and the Committees.

The committees in the senate and house
which have charge of all questions of tariff
and taxation are-senate, finance and manu-
features house, ways ana means aund man
ufactures. New England has the chairman
of all these; We see that she is IN fair
way TO control the most important practical
legislation Of congress for her own benefit
She has also the caairmen OF the committee
on foreign relations and post office in both
houses. Nv the former OF which she seeks to
control the f,roign policy Of the government.
Likewise she has the chairman OF the com
mIttee Oh military affairs in the senate, and
of the committee ga naval affairs and on cleo
tions In the house Aud she has the chair
man Of the two important select com nlttees
in the house. At the same time. the two great
states of New York and pcnnsy lvaniA have,
together but two chairmen Of committees IN
the senate ind but seven in the house, and
these committees are nearly all unIm portant.
The northwest l. served well enough 10
the number OF cheirmen, but the committees
IN which they were appointed are. rs in the
case cf New York aad Pennsylvania, mostly
connparatiyely uuimportant. The whole south
being unreprcscuted in either house, Is Of
course without representation on The commit
tees
II follows. then, that 80 far as the commit
tees of the two iluuzeS are concerned the md
die states. the west and ths south are sold
out to New Eugland. The New England
politics of q high protective farmland OF such
a system of taxation of the government on
the other sections Of the country, are to pre-
vail.
1t is humiiiating to feel and know this. 1t

HON. SIDNEY BREEsE,

Few better judges ever graced the bench
than the Hon. Sidney Breese. The bench is
his home. As judge he has few equals in
the Union IIie decisions are models His
learning is vast varied aud profound His
reasoning would do honor 10 a Lord Mansfield
or Lord Eldon, Kent or Story. In England
he would be lord chancellor in France, min
lister of justice in Germany, president of
"Ober appelations gerichts hofs :" but in
America where political interests control ju
dicial appoin tmenss, q Chase, inferior TO
many hundred lawyers is preferred to him.
Though the mantle of the great MARSHALL has
fallen on the shoulders of a political fanatic.
yet the fame of posterity, which the labors of
good, great and learned Judge always
cure. will be his and in coming times, as
the Illinois Supreme Court Reports continue
to be read. law continues to be science his
genius will find admirers. Judge Breese,
now for almost fifty years resident of our
state, is more than any other man identified
with the judicial system Of the state. The
first of our state reports, more than forty four
years ago, was compiled, edited and publish
ed by him in Kaskaskia. then the state capt.
tai. For more than thirty years he has been
on tie bench. For elk years he was a distn.
guished member of the United States senate.
In public life and in private life be gained
many friends and admirers. At the bar, on
the bench. in the senate, he gathered many
honors. A scholar, the rich and varied liter.
ature OF ancient and modern times is familiar
