AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

On Monday a large and respectable meeting of farmers and others connected in the above interest was held at the Council rooms - the Mayor in the chair- for the purpose of forming an Agricultural

and Horticultural Society. The mayor on taking the chair addressed the meeting as follows:— Gentlemcn—We are this day convened to use our best endeavors for establishing an exhibition of colonial produce, and for the institution of a permanent Agricultural and Horticultural Society. Of the benefits and advantages of these measures, it is scarcely possible but that every individual in this assembly, as well as those whose attendance we are not fortunate enough to obtain, must be deeply sensible. Considering the vital importance of not retro-grading from the high position we are likely to hold in agriculture, even among the most favored of her Majesty's colonies, and viewing union in all pursuits of consequence as actual strength, the hope has been confidently felt, that from this meeting will arise an enlightened entity, com-bining the best principles and theory, with the soundest practical efforts, all directed to the pro-gressive encouragement of agriculture and horti-culture in their various branches. In urging upon the attention of this meeting most confidently the encouragement and protection of agriculture in particular, what can I say that is not better known to every individual here than myself, and who, though not more warmly, can doubtless, much more efficiently advocate its course? Providence has smiled upon our recent harvest irK niso ?4?pt?«r mvn*viM today that we may testify our gratitude for the blessings received by a strenuous acquisition of all attainable know-ledge in the pursuits we are met to ? «■?*<., and its practical application in each e«"ning season, and that every one whom an ordinary portion of success .«'V (n:«y '••••'• «> 'prr-nMe upon its future increase «*?. •* ?W 1<" ??•<'«• to support our intended society with his purse and talent to their fullest available extent, erecting thus a constant diffusion of concentrated knowledge, which must necessarily flow from the «t?ir« of its members, and be the ■♦•':««!«• which it must

Aliout the year 1754, in the zenith of tbet coterie which assem bled in Curltoti House, tv&s the period when tlio Duchess of Devonshire graced the table there, and several ladies eminent for grace, wit, and every female chr.rm. These meetings were en livened by Eueli men ns Cli?rles James Fox, Sheridan, and a select few; such rare companions, if we may be pardoned for the levity of the re mark, as no ape inuy ever see mjain.

Th.y were subsequently purrbwed liy tliu prior of v neighbouring co'ivcnt; and with f.ie profits of this sale tiio young Italiun procured a littie villa, where hi! had the pleasure of henrin,,' : (lie tolling of his bells from the convent clifi", and iof groivinpo!.! in the boima of domestic happi. j ties*. This, however, was not to continue. In j some of those broils, wh?ther civil or foreign, | whirli tire the undying worm in tlie peace of a fallen iMiid, the «ood Italian was v sufferer amongst many. He lost his all; and after the passing of the storm, found himself preserved atone nraid the wreck of fortune, friends, family, and home. The convent in wliich the bells, the dtefs dauvvr. of his skill, were l:ong>es razed *o the «fl«h, and the bells were carried «way to another land. Tlie unfortiiriatc owner, haunted by his memories, and deserted by his hope*, lienamc « wanderer over Europe. His hair grew grey, and his heart withered, before be again found a home and a friend. In tm"? desolation of spirit, he formed the resolution of seeking the place to which the treasures of hi* memory had been finally borne. He sailed for Ireland, proceeded up the Shannon; th* vessel anchored in the pool near Limerick] and he hired a small boat lor tlie purpose of lauding. TJia city was now before him; and be beheld St. Mary's steeple, lifting its turrcted head i above the smoke ami mist of the old town. He j sat in the stern and looked fondly towards it. It j w«a an evening *o calm and beautiful as to re mind him of his tmtive haven in the sweetett time of the year—the death of the spring. The broad r.tream iippcnred !ike one smooth mirror, and the little vessel glided through it. On a sud den, amid the general stillness, the bella tolled from the cathedral; the rowers rested on their oars, and the vessel went forward with the im pulse it had received. The aged Italian looked towards the city, crossed his arim on his breast, nnd laid hack in his seat; home, happineas.eaily ie-Follections, friends, family—all were in thesout^f at:d went with it to his heart. When the lotjprs looked round, they beheld him with hie face Hill turned towards the ra>hcdral; but his ayes were rlosed, mid Hien they landed they lennd him dead i—Jttrs Halls Inland.

A Go'ti'.mano iK Ecstact—After tbe soup, we had what I do not hcritate to call tbe very be« beefxteak I ever «te in my life. By tfc« ?b«dcof Hiliogabalim! an I write about it now, a week ufter I have entcn it, the old, rich, weft, piquanu juicy taste comes smacking on my lipi "gain; mid I feel fomethiiig of that exquisite •eiisution I then had. Inm ashamed of the de liglit which the c?tinj of that piece of meat caused me. O— and I had quarrelled about the kmii> (I said so, and «!on"t wish to return to the sut'jert); ?>ut when xre lief an on tlie steak we looked i:- e;rh otlic:, nr.ii loved rach other. We did not siM'al:—oui hearts were too full for that; but we took n lii:, and Isid down c::i' forks, nnd looked ?t one miothcr, i;nd understood each otlitr. There were no two individuate on this wide I'wtii—no two lovers Willing in the shade no mother clasping her lipliy to her heart, inors su;ircisiely ha;ipjr .than we. Every now and then we had n glass of honest, firm, generous, Hurgundr, that notily supported the meat. As you nifty fancy, we did not leave a single morsel of the steak; but when it was done, we put bits of lue.id into the the silver dish, and wistfully Mijuied up t'.;c gravy. I suppose I 6liull never in I'm* world ta«t<> an; thing bo j;ood ugain. But wiiatthen? What if I Jid like it excessively? Way my likiap unjust or u-imaily ? Is ray regret now pullinj- or itaworthy ?
