©n the 4th 1 inftant, a meeti ng was held at. 
Ringwood, in confequence of 2 circular jet- 
tex from the Beard of Agriculture, for the 
purpofe of eftablifhing an Agricuitural Socis

was attended by many very refpectable gens

The moft prominent and pleafing feature in 
the prov incial news of this month, not only 
in fbi but in every other county, is the nue 
mercus and ample fubfcriptions fet on foot 
for the relief of the poor, during the prefent 
{carcity, and feverely cold weather. At Win- 
chefter, § Southampton, Pertfmouth, and other 
great towns in this county, this benevolent 
principle cperatcs, with tue mof pleafing ef- 
feet, and even in many, leffer places. At 
Fletching, Lord Sheffield has fet on feot 4 
plan of this nature, and purpofes to relieve 
the induftiious poor with meat, broth, pota- 
toes, rice, &c. and te ened as far as may 
be, the conrumpticn of wheaten bread. The 
Magiftrates of this, and feveral adjoinin 
counties, have, by order of feffions, dire&ted 
thatso cther than fandard wheaten bread fhall 
bo mace; whereby it appears that there will 
be a faving in the confumption of eleven 
buthels upon ten facks, or forty buthels, of © 
wheat. Micetinys of gentiemen have alfo been 
pretty generally held, purpofely to devife and 
to recommend means for reducing the con- 
famption of wheaten bread, by fubftituting 
rve, barley, oats, beans, peafe, rice, potatoes, 
and other articles in its ftead; aud particularly 
enjoining the attention of all perfons to the 
relief of the indigent, In their refpective 
neighbourhoods. The magifirates in many 
places heve vigilartly infpeéted and dete&ied 
many of the seat bakers, fhopkeepers, 
farmers, and others, in felling. their feveral 
articles of me fhort of weight, and have 
fined them accordisgly. A miller at South- 
wick, was burnt in efiigy by the enraged po- 
pulace. Thefe falutary exertions in thofe 
whe have the means and the power, will, we 
truft, be every where adopted, and have the 
Gefired effet. Public kitchens are eftadlifh- 
ed and eftablifhing in many parts of the king- 
dem, for the relief of the poor, upon eRe plan 
of Count Rurford. 
The caral from Londen to ae 
which has been completed fome years, con- 
veys goods thither at 15s. per ton, for all 
parts of Hants and Wilts, and many parts of 
Doriet and Somertet, to the very great con- 
venience of the manufa€tures, tradefmen, 
and inhabitants of thefe parts.. The canal 
from Southampton to Salifbury is ina ftate 
of great forwardnefs, and it were much to be 
w -ihes, that it may be continued on to Brif- 
tel, and thereby from a fhort and eafy com- 
munication between the Englifh and Briftol 
Channals, as has been frequently propefed, 
Which would not only contrioute greatly to 
the local advantage of that county, but to 
the genera} intere tt of the whole kingdom.
