Into such eon- tempt, however, it did once tall in this country—and that at no very distant period--that en'ry H1t'ns was adopted to depress thp tiller of the soil, and exalt the manufacturer; and one of the leaders of thp po- litical economists—and a j;ieat favourite with the pe pie, declared, that it would he a lilts-itij; it' Eng. land did not ;;ro\v a blade or corn, hut was made the manufacturer of the world.t Ti.at time has passed away. :0 one now seeks to depreciate the value uf: agricult'jie; and fur many years past, j>roat etl'ar'.s I have heplI ma le to improve both its science and its practice. l'he application of science to agriculture was, fit one period, greatly depia ciated by the agriculturists tlieniii Ives. Tiiev thought that the w hole art of agriculture consisted in digt;iu<f, in supplying the manure, common to their f..tllt, and grandfathers, and ill observing a cu t an rotation of crops j all che- > mical appliearices they despised and rejected. Xo: doubt, manuallahour, properly applied to the soil, is the great principle of success. Jj-at there are very 010erern sons 01 sous, auu an un not require the same treatment; and even the consequences of an unfavourable sa.on. mar be sometimes "rdcd against. There can be no doubt, therefore, that the "knowledge of geology, mineralogy, chemistry, bo. tony, vegetable physiology, and natural phvsiofo;'v," i gives" the mn:lern h'I",and:¡:n lh, command of important agents, elements, and principles, of which the ancients had no idea." The husbandman is ena- ble,l, by these sciences, to asiertain the nature of his noil, and what is most wanted to promote its ferlilitv the grazier to select the best animals to improve breeds, and to ascertain the best modes of treating his stock, whether in health or disease. The iiii- provement of farming implements has also done much to advance agriculture; and even the power or steam has been brought to bear upon agricultural labour,—and is now extensively employeù in plough- ing. sowing, and thrashing corn. The Welsh are celebrated rath r as breeders of .heep than as husbandmen; the sheep-walks on nllf mountains are unequalled; fwd '■ Welsh mutton" is considered a great delicacy upon Metropolitan tables. We have m.t altogether the .same advantages ill cul- tiyating Jand nq in breedinjr and grazing site, but we think our farmers mioht place themselves in a better position,and obtain a more litieral return from the parent soil, were they to try." Let them unite •cienee with labour, the knowlalge deri ved from theory with practical skill,—and we have not the least douat but that they will soon fhd that thc pro- duce of their land is increased, and their own 1)1),i- tion improved. And neither the farmer nor the public generally, 6hould ever lose "iht of the immense importance of agriculture. It is the inrlispellsahle art,-for, as the celebrated Dr. Johnson obscne,- i Though mines of <jald and silver should he exh iusteii, and the specie made of tliem lost, —though diamonds alld pearls should remain concealed in the bowels of the earth, and the womb of the 8('th'>01(11 commerce with strangers be prohibited, — thuugh "III arts, which have no other object than splendour and embellishment, •hould be abolished, — yet the fertility of the earth atone would affoul an abundant supply for"the occasions of an industrious people, by furnishing subsistence for thElm; aad.whf,lt\ war was necessary 8nd inevitable -for «uch armies as should be mustered in their ,Iofence."

EVENTS AXil TOPICS OF THE WEEK, The arrangements for her Majesty's journey to Cherbourg have been announce I. 'i'lie royal aquadron will leave England on the 4th of August; and the first interxiew between the ro"jal and impe- rial personages, will take place »t sea. All the ar. rangenients ??t-e anticipated a couple of dars, to ac- commo(l,'Ile our who will ptirstw her route to Prusla when ht' It'a\í's C'oi rbour< She wished her -i?it to the l'rincess Frederick \?it)ia:n, to be considered ai stiietiv private,—merely a, that of a mother to her daughter: it is doubtful, how- ever, whether this arrangement can be carried out- The lv.glish alliance is very popular with the Prus- sian people; the Princt.15Q is an espoeiat favourite with them; and if they know that her mother is travelling amongst them, it will be difhcultwe think, to prevent a popular demonstration. The Earl of Derby, Lord Malmesbury, and Mr. Disraeli, will ac- company her Majesty to Cherbourg; and (itic (if tiie trio will proceed to l'rus>ia,—unless it should be thought more eligible that the Home Secretary should aCCO!lIp:1ny her there. Tile Duke of Malah- koff will also rn ike one of the Cherbourg party.A steamtr is also fitting-out to take over such mem- bers of the House of Commons as wish t" accompan y the 'I'lie Orieii, and l\-ni?suh S eam j Packet Company ha"c placed )"e of their liae't j vessels at the disposal of the committee, without charge. The Indian bill has passed the Lords with few elteration; ministers ha"e obtained all their sup- 1)lie. and the appropriation bill is introduced, The o«ly Government measures of interest and impor- MftM before the legislature now, are, the Bill for the Purification of the Thamp, and two corneef,ed with the 1,>(,a,onc for embodying certain regiments, the second for cnabhng the Queen to accept the ser- vice* of the miliiin out of the country. The bill rc- lating to the I names, was introduced by Mr. Dis- raeli, on Fridiv it to throw the entire exl)ense til)o-, tile n, ij troll ol i,it gties the complete control of the measures to the Metropoatan Hoard. This is right. London ought pay and she ou?ht to effect tLe improvement in her own wq y pro?.tk.d only that she doesn't rarry the n?sancea?ay from herself to others. As con- s'ltuted under the bill of Sir Benjamin Hall, the Motropoti.an B.?rJ had no absolute po?er.-for the (-tueH.nmnmMtont.rcontd put a veto upon all their schemes and they had no power to raise money, cx;ept lor current purposes.

The rule that will he Government finds itself au- thorised to take, or will be compelled to buy—is, to leave the tracts incap:t1)1e of colonization in the hands of the Company and to withdraw those which can he acting throughout, if possible, with the sympathy and concurrence of Canada. This is a prudent itti(I it ju«t course; and the Government will deserve praise for adopting it. Thp intelligence from Constantinople informs us, that tjir Henry Lvtton liiilwer had arrived at the En1ish embassy atTherapia, on the 7th Julv, and had been most cordially welcomed hy the other am- bassadors, the French minister taking the lead.— IIis Excellency, therefore, was, no doubt satisfied, that justice had been, or would he, done in the case of our consul at Belgrade. With respect to Jeddah, the Turkish Government had sent lioOD troop?, under a General, with the power of lire and death; and the ringleaders in till, massacre are to he punished by martial JaIV. The I .Moniteur* of Friday an- nouncea, that En¡:lan,1 and Franco are taking mea- sures to obtain striking and prompt satisfaction "such as the honour of their flags, and the enormity of the crime of which their rgents have been the victims, c1pnwnds." In the mean titl1p, thp.. Pays' informs 11'. that information hnq been received of sedo:" religious dissensions at Mecca. They hroke out during the religious fetes of the season and the fanatical portion of the inhabitants of the Redjaz, under the leadership of an Arab named Heck-ah- Ilafer, are reported to have formed themselves into ill I indeppn,lellt scct, called "True who refuse to recognise the religious supremacy of the Sultan. In fact, it appears that (here is throughout the entire range of Mnhammedism—whether in Turkey, Persia, or In,lia-a spirit of dissatisfaction prevailing, having its I)a,is on the enmity entertained 'by the follower of Mohammed to the "infidel," as he terms the Christian, which may yet have most serious results. The insurrections in Bosnia and Cindia "ppear to have had their origin in this spirit. The Turkish authorities and people have been en- raged at the concessions made by the Hatti-Scheriff of the Sultan. The relusal cf the provincial pashas to carry out his orders, has certainly been the main cause of the disturbances in various parts of his do- minions; and, probably, his liberality, his wish to make no distinction hetween his subjects—has led to the rejection, among the fanatics alluded to, of his supremacy. The Turkish Government, however, ap- penr, resolved to keep its faith with the Christians I and it is not improbable hut the aid of Christians may be requisite to protect the Sultan against his own subjects, numbers of whom are described as being in open vebellion in Asia. A letter from Madrid, dated the ltfth inst., states that" the Government of Spain has addresseù to the English cabinet, an energetic remonstrance on the subject of the insults offered to Spain in the Eng. lish Parliament." Those insults were, the pointing out the repeated and systematic violations of the treaty for the abolition of the slave trade—the ad- hesion of Spain to that treaty having been purchased by the payment of a large sum of English money. Lord Malmesbury might speak plainly, but he also spoke truly; and, if the Spanish Government acts i honestly, it will have no need to fear the truth. There is very little news from any otber part f the contincnt-that from France being chiefly occu- [ pied with the preparations making at Cherbourg, to receive the Queen, and in.1oglra:e the port. There has been a quarrel f<-r some time going on between the Government of Denmark and the Germanic Diet, relative to the affairs of the duchies of llol- stein and Lauenberg,—whose "privileges" are said to have been invaded by the Danish King. As it pro- ceeds, it appears to get nFwe invohcd; and hi, week \ve ft?') the Danish Government endeavouring to persualle the Diet, that it ought to he an European, all,1 not a purely Germanic question. It is not pro- I".Iole they will he successful.

Mr. Haddock thought that, judging from other similar undertakings, the sum of £ o 5s per annum might be a fi,ir and he would beg to propose that that should be the amount. Mr. I1. A.

Here a general conversation took place as to the management of the Works, which the Meeting thought best to leave entirely in the hands of the Directors. Mr. W. II.

  1 I* ROW\ LAND S WELSH GRAnBR:' To the Editor of the North Wales Chronic!? Mr. Editor, —Will you allow me to occupy a omall spIce in lonr j ournal to deny the truth of a chaiRe brought against me by the Rev. J. W. (Ab Ithel) ? It it known to some that Ab Ithel has copied into his notes on Dospaith Edeyrn Dafod Anr" very many pages from my Grammar of the WeLh Language and in consequence of my having exposed his plagiarism, he has thought proper to retaliate upon me by publishing in his I. Cambrian Jourusl" what he calls a I. unierAal r umour," to the effect that "the real and substantial author of the woik" is the Archdeacon of Cardigan. Ab Ithel has not attempted to clear himself, for he knows that that would be utterly hopeless and ha evidently docs not wish to know where the truth lie? as I had writl, n to him-several months previous to the appearance of the accusation in print, to contradict the rum nir, and to say,in terms that could not be misunder- stood, (hat I wns not indebted for even one iuIc to the Archdeacon ol Cardigan. But from his correspondence at that time, a" we! from his letter dated Apiil 2d h, I CJI) easily petceive that he is determined to believe (or al any rate pretend 10 believe) the rumour, in spite oC the most positive repudiation on my part. Such is the thanks I receive from a 41 Welsh patriot" (1) and a promoter of Eisffdd'Ciltu for having devoted tluee years of fIIJ t i i • = e to write a b.'ok 011 Welsh philology!

Pray, Veneiable Sir, establish your claim tG the work —show one rule which belongs to you—or confess thnt you have been guilty of spreading a false rumour about vour old pupil. M The Grammar cost me thiee years of hard study,'— one year at Llandoveiy and two at Hal" and I ibere- fore think it very hard to be abused and insulted by Ab Ithel. Rat it is to me much more painful and dis- tressing to think that the Venerable Archdeacon of > Cardigan should, in his old age, be of spreading a \ile repoit, ;»nd ol a-ioguting to hini^lt ihe authoigbip of a woi k, which belons to) Thorn.. [t"wlaud as fairll and as justly as any work can be said to belong to its author. Vou evidently think the book a clever production, otherwise you would not have coveted the authorship, lhis speaks well of a Grammar, and some of my fdentls. who know the exact history of the work, look upon thi circumstance as a hih c(Jrnp1imei¡t to me.

I have written the above on the supposition that the charKe of plagiarism, brought against me, is to be traced to you. If I am ti)i,t.,iken, no one ivill be fjiore glitd to h?ar, and tnore ready to apologize than J. liut if the suppoMtion is true, I feel satisfied that I have not ex- pressed myself too stronglj. 1 he rumour has a tendency to injure my character and reputation and some ppople will always believe it unless contradicted by you and on tliii account I call uprn jou as a gentleman, a Christian, and a dtgni- tat) of the C hureh of tug and to come fotwari and clear me by publishing the truth.
