HARLESTON : June 10.— The Assessment of Cottage 
PProper'y.— Resolution : It is the decided opinion of this 
meeting that the present system of collecting the poor- 
* rates from the tenants of some cottages and excusing 
others, is partial and unfair ; as, however deserving of 
relief such tenants may be, the property they inhabit is 
justly intitled to pay its share of the expenses of main- 
taining the paupers belonging to the parish in whieh it 
is situated. The club considers that the only remedy 
for such a state of things is to make the payment of 
rates compulsory on the owner of the property through 
the tenant, in all cases where the net assessment does 
not exceed 6/.; the overseer's receipt to be a legal tender 
to the landlord for such portion of the rent. 
Miscellaneous. 
Cirencester Agricultural College.—This elegant and 
commodious building is now open for the reception of 
students, of whom, when the additional wing now erect- 
ingis completed, it will be capable of accommodating 
200. Itisa spacious and imposing structure, of the 
ornamented Elizabethan style, the principal front, 
which is to the south, showing a facade of 190 feet by 
50 feet in height, the centre relieved by a: well-propor- 
tioned tower, surmounted at the north-west angle by an 
octangular turret, the whole rising 93 feet from the 
lawn. The interior consists of a large dining-hall, 
70 feet by 25 feet, in height 25 feet; a library, museum, 
and laboratory, besides class rooms, on the ground 
floor. Ranges of lofty and commodious sleeping rooms 
extend through the two upper floors and the tower, 
while the offices, and apartments for the servants, are 
kept distinct from the part occupied by the students. 
A theatre, for lectures, is in project, and itis in con- 
templation to add a chapel. Every attention has been 
paid to the heating and ventilation, and the best mode 
in use adopted ; separate rooms are also provided in 
ease of illness. A more pleasant or healthy site could 
hardly have been chosen. It is situated on an elevated 
part of the farm, about a mile and a half from the town 
of Cirencester, commanding from the south an exten. 
sive prospeet over North Wiltshire ; while the rear of 
the building is near adjoining the-Park, and sheltered 
by the woods of Earl Bathurst. The objects of the 
Institution are to provide, what has ever been a deside- 
ratum —scientifie instruction in all that pertains to 
„agriculture ; and every subject treated in such a manner, 
and to such an extent, as its bearing upon agriculture 
demands ; while every description of trial and experi- 
ment will be made, so as not to risk general results, it 
being the determination of’ the Council that the system 
pursued on the farm shall be the one most profitable, 
and such as the pupils may adopt with confidence in 
their future pati h ical and practical 
teaching go hand in hand, and the whole is combined 
with the advantages of collegiate discipline.—Students 
are only i upon the ination of a propri 
or donor of 307 From 14 to 18 is the age at which 
they will be eligible to enter, nor will they be allowed 
to remain but six months after their 20th birthday. 
The annual payment of each student is 307., with such 
charges as the Council may fix for the library, museum, 
&e. Medical attendance, books, and laundress, are not 
ineluded. Non-resident students of any age will be 
owed, on the recommendation of a proprietor, to 
attend the lectures, and avail themselves of the prac- 
tical instruction, upon the same annual payment of 307. 
While attending at the college, or on the farm, they 
vill be amenable to the college authorities for their 
conduct, on pain of forfeiting the fee. The manage- 
ment of the college is committed to the Principal, who 
is responsible to the Council for the orderly conduct of 
the students, and for the general well-being of every 
department. A regular attendance at the daily prayer 
of the Chureb of England, and at the parish church on 
Sundays, is required ; but the sons of dissenters may 
respectively attend such places of worship as their 
parents shall, by letter to the Prineipal, request.— Ciren- 
cester Paper. 
Show-yard is completely enclosed by a stone wall up- 
wards of 16 feet high, having once belonged to the Dis- 
trict Lunatie Asylum of the town, and will certainly 
be the finest and most convenient locality that had ever 
yet been seen for the purpose. From the facilities thus 
afforded, great expense will be spared, and the general 
effect will be imposing in the extreme to those who will 
visit the Show. The different entertainments will also be 
upon the same scale as has distinguished the other meet- 
ings of the Society; and no place affords such facilities as 
Limerick for assemblies of the kind, from the extent of 
the district, and the vast number of resident gentry 
in the neighbourhood. Situated ag it is in the centre 
between the great counties of Clare, Limerick, Tippe- 
rary, Kerry and Cork, and with the internal naviga- 
that border its shore, it is expected that on no former 
occasion will there ever have assembled such a col- 
lection of practical imp and agriculturi TO! 
all parts of the countr; We. understand also that 
arrangements are in DM es for securing the same 
facilities of conveyance by canal from Dublin that 
were afforded at Ballinasloe, and which contributed 
so much to the great succe:s of that meeting. Va- 
rious communications have been already received 
both from England and Scotland, relative to the exhi- 
bition of stock and implements at the show; these in- 
clude some of the best breeders in Yorkshire and 
Northumberland, and some of the leading implement 
manufacturers in both countries. It is most desirable 
to have this point specially attended to, as the entire 
suecess of the meeting depends in a. great degree upon 
the facilities that will be afforded to every class of. ex- 
hibitors, to forward the different lots to their place of 
destination. i 
The time has now arrived for serving 
notices of entry, and we trust that every one in the 
south and centre of Ireland will use their utmost efforts 
to contribute, by every means in their power, to render 
the meeting as effective as possible. Lirmeriek is famed 
for the tone and quality of its society, and the different 
entertainments, particularly the balls and assemblies, 
will be on a most splendid scale.. We understand, also, 
that efforts will be made to give the meeting a practical 
and scientific turn, as at Ballinasloe, and that first-rate 
lecturers on. agricultural subjects will be secured. On 
the whole, the time is approaching for preparing the 
notices of entry, and we hope that the nobility and 
gentry of the neighbourhood will make every exertion 
to render the meeting worthy of the locality, and equal, 
if not superior to any of its predecessors.—Irish Farmers’ 
Gazette. 
Calendar of Operations, 
JUNE. : 
Tue operation of singling and horse-hoeing the earliest Tur- 
nips will now be proceeding. The latter is a very important 
operation, and should be repeated at intervals of a fortnight as 
long as the crop will permit. It is now the farmer should con- 
sider that-he is growing the grain crop which succeeds his Tur- 
nips: for undoubtedly it is upon the due cultivation of the land 
now that its produce then will depend. If the land be horse- 
hoed once to destroy weeds, it should be horse-hoed three or 
four times merely for the purpose of preserving a fine tilth be- 
tween the rows to a depth of five or six inches from the surface. 
It is surprising how the plants will avail themselves of the feed- 
ing-ground, so to speak, thus afforded them. In a few weeks 
the whole soil to that depth will r 
sponge of rootlets. The operation of singling the plants is also 
important. The interval between the plants must be determined 
on after considering the richness of the soil, and the variety o: 
‘oot grown : 11 to 15 inches will generally answer the purpose. 
The singling may be done by women, and will cost from 2s, 6d. 
o 39s. 6d. per aere. It is done by a hoe, which is alternately 
pushed and pulled, leaving anedged ridge along the ground, 
with single plants at the above interval along its ri i 
The young plants may be very roughly treated without injury, 
and indeed with advantage. If attached to the ground by but 
one single fibre of their root, they will grow and flourish. 
his, and sowing the later Turnips, and hay-making, an 
the second hocing of the Mangold Wurzel crop, will occupy the

The supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, 
although rather larger than last week, met a tolerably free sale 
er qr. advance upon the rates of this day se’nnight. In 
free foreign there was very little doing, but bonded was more 
inquired after than of late, particularly by parties from the 
country, without, however, leading to much business.—Barle; 
is held with increased firmness,—We raise our quotations for 
Beans and Peas, each 2s. per qr. ; bonded are held still higher, 
but the demand is not extensive at the adyance.—Fine Oats are 
fully 1s. per qr. dearer, but the out-of-condition and light 
foreign qualities do not participate in this improvement,

FRIDAY, J 26. 
There was a fair show of English Wheat by land carriage 
samples from Essex, this morning, which, owing to the passing 
orn Bill and consequent release of bonded stocks, 
could not be disposed of without submitting to a decline of 28. 
to 9s. per qr., and therefore remained unsold. In foreign very 
little business was done, holders generally demanding an, ad- 
yance of 2s, per qr. and upwards upon the late bonded prices, 
independant of duty, which buyers were unwilling to comply 
with.—Barley remains as on Monday.—Beans and Peas are 
very unsaleable, but we do not alter our quotations.—The Oat 
trade is flat; free corn must be written 1s, to 2s, per G+ 
cheaper, and bonded is held for 1s, per qr. more money.
