This letter , like most of the productions of the press , was anonymous , and first appeared in a Leeds paper ; but , as Sheridan has said , * 'A lie is as good as the truth as long as it serves its purpose , '' and we presume our Leeds friend ' makes but little difference between a lie and the truth .

      HEREFORD INDUSTRIAL AID SOCIETY . Tbe annual meeting of the friends of the Hereford Society for Aiding the Industrious was , held on Monday evening , in St Peter ' s " School Room . There was a very numerous attendance . The Right Eev . { he Bishop of the diocese presided . There were also present R . M . Lingivood , Esq ., High Sheriff ; James Jay . Esq ., Mayor ; Rev . J . Venn , Rev . J . Hanbury , Rev . E . N . Bree , Rev . H . Arkwright , Rev . E . White . Rev W . Aldrldge , Rev . J . H . Barker , Rev . T . K . Birch , Rev . R . W .

Scobie , Esq ., Mr "Vale , Mr Pember , Mr Kettle , Mr Hall , Mr Hill , Mr Hooper , Mr Williams , & c . Letters were received from J . Bailey , jun ., Esq ; , M . P ., the Rev . "W . E . Evans , and other gentlemen , regretting that from prior engagements they were unable to attend the rrieeting . There was a gratifying . exhibition , of ipecimens of vegetables grown iu the allotment gardens of tbe society , consisting of onions , carro . g jheetiools , celery , parsnips , & c , many of whicli— the onions especially—were ot great size and of excellent quality . '¦'•" : '

      The proceedings commenced about seven o clock , Tbe Lord Bishop , who was received , on rising , with hearty applause , addressed the meeting as follows - . —Ladies and Gentlemen , Christian brethren , I have much pleasure in bringing before you the object of the present meeting , which is the support of the Hereford Society for Aiding : the Industrious . Doubtless there are many persons iu this room more qualified , by experience and [ .. acquaintance with the proceedings of „ - the society , to : bring forward its claims befoee ^ y bu ; ; but on none does it come more properly than on myself , as holding authority in the Church of Christ , On no person more sirongly does the obligation come , though it falls upon all

      Christ ' s people , than upon the ministers of the Church . We find in the New Testament that Paul and Barnabas , when sent forth to preach , were expressly desired not to confine their attention to the poor ofthe Gentiles , but to extend their care to the poor generally * to their poor Jewish brethren , as well as to those of the Gentiles , and ts ' take care of all the poor brethren of Christ . The poor have been especially committed to us ministers of the Gospel , since , by our Lord himself , the Gospel was preached to ' the poor . This was one great test of His divine mission , When the disciples of John came to inquire of Him whether he was the Messiah , part of His reply was , ' to the poor the Gospel is

      preached . ' That great blessing , ' ' . the love of God , which is poured forth in tlie Gospel towards our race , is poured fOrth ' especially for the poor , - as the great bulk of the members of the Christian Church . We are told expressl y that , as the members are united ia one body , so are we all members of that great body of which Christ as the head . The object of such a society is this coincides with the great object of the Gospel , since we are told that' the poor shall never cease from tbe land , ' and that' the rich and the poor meet together—the Lord is the ' maker of them all . Each have their appointed station ; the rich to set forth by their example , their influence , their authority , the great truths of the Gospel ,, and

      to dispense its blessings among their brethren ; the poor by their contentment , by their gratitude , thuir industry , and their humble following ' of those who exert themselves in setting forth those blessings to the world . But it may bS ' asked who are the rich ? who are the poor ?; 'Do not suppose that the rich are merely those who enjoy great wealth and great influence in the world , and that in this way you may evade your obli gations to the poor : the rich are all those who are above the necessities of life , whom God has blessed with competence . They are the great middle classes , as they are now called - , the classes who are below the temptations of the very rich , and above those of the very poor . These are

      the persons whom God has called to set forth the truths of His Gospel by their-means , their authority , their influence , and their example . The description applies especially to us who are here present . We have received a command , a trust , nay , a privilege from our Lord to do good to our brethren who are poorer than ourselves , not only by our influence and our example , but by our means . We have the opportunity of ; doing good ; not merely by what is called charity , that is , tbe distribution of our more abundant means to our poorer brethren , but by the blessings of our superior ; education , our greater leisure , our more enlarged information , - and other advantages which we enjoy . We that are not so

      encumbered by the necessity of providing for our subsistence by the work of our hands—it is our duty to provide especially for the comfort of our poorer brethren . This object is especially promoted" by such a society as this . I do not mean that individually we can do this ; we have not all of us the means , in the competent knowledge of the subject ; but b y uniting we . are enabled to bring our : know . ledge , our talent , our leisure , our means , our money , and whatever talent God has given us , to the greatest advantage for our poorer brethren . How gladly , then , should we hail such a society as this ,

      Which not only relieves their temporal wants , but puts them in the way ot availing themselves of the means of relieving their spiritual wants . You thus not merely give alms ; you enable those who wish to lay out their industry- to the _ best advantage , to do sa ; as well as it is in your power to do so , you second their laudable efforts for the support of themselves . By the charity which you otberwise'''dispense , you often frustrate the exertions of thi' individuals themselves - , and , so far from doing good , it is often eminently injurious both to the individual and to society . Each is called upon to exert himself to the utmost in that station of life iu which

      God has placed him , not to depend upon others , but to look to them for countenance and support while he is fulfilling his duties in the station to which God has called him ; and , therefore , I consider this society eminently deserving of our patronage , inasmuch as it does not attempt to supersede the exertions of the poor , but only to aid them . 1 trust that 1 need say little more for the claims of such a society as thk lis existence for seven years or more has proved by experience that its exertions are productive of extensive good . I am not myself very well acquainted with the details of the society ' s operations , having been but a short time connected with it , but you will hear them stated in the report ' of the secretary . I will therefore call upon him to read the report for the last year . ( Applause . )

      jELisGKH G . & mosa , Esq ., remarked that though there were luasy persons present more oonvtrsant than he was with the pyuper system of working fchtee garden allotments , they , formed st . the same time an important means of remedying some _< i tho ev > Js which prees upon the moral and physical weir fare of the people ; and as that was a . subject in which he had taken a deep interest from au earlyperiod ofhis life , he frit that he ought not to refuse to the society any aid which he couid give , however bumble . He had recently met with a pamphlet , by a coble lord well known , and for whom he with them

      all entertained the hi ghest esteem ,-in whioh his lord ship strongly denounced the ; allotment system , as subversive of the true principles of political econoroy and gbod government . '; He alluded : to foe Earl of . Radnor . IJ be ( Mr Symons ) thought tnirt the allotment system- was . against ' . the true principles- ; ©!• politicaleconom } , sa sure was'he . that those principles were conducive to ^ tije ; welfare of the people , that he should ihe rha ^ iatt % i . support the system . But what was good political economy ? < Was it not to create the largest produce' at the smallest possible labour and expense ? Now if the design was , by acting according to the stupid and inefficient system of

( Applause ) . That system is ; the system o a society which , with its charitable fn / ds takes land and lets it out to the working obuses in

      small allotments , which some say should not exceed the JDurih part of an acre ' each , others say one-half » nd uthera go still further . Ft cm what he fead learned at Stourbridge , where two hundred acres aro thus hid ont , ho found that the system told beet where the allotments were close to the dwellings of ilioie who work them , Great Bfld signal benefits nrosefrom thisarranRemant , and he wished toc . ail the attention of the higher classes particularly to ^ ma point . If they could purchase land , and build cottnges , so that the inmates might have ' plats of land close to them , be did not hesitate to say that the mnjal benefits would be at least double . If a man htd to go , after he had dono his work , a mile to his

      allotment , as was the case at Stourbridge , it was a ¦ hundred to one if he went thither at night half so often as he could go . Again , the children and wives-could not ( jo to the garden if it were a great distance from the dwelling , so that the distance lessened- the amount and tbe advantages of their assistance . Then again , when a man cultivated corn in his allotment , the birds formed a serious difficulty , not to sipeak of his liability to loss from actual plunder , both whi . che evils wt-re to » Rreat extent prevented by the garden b ? ing close to the dwelling . Another consideration was that , wherever tbe garden might be pl » oed , if they wanted a large produce , suoh as he should show them had been obtain * d . they must use a great quantity of manure . If a man kept apig , he would haw manure , but it he had to carry it a mile , or even half a mile , to tbe ground , as at Siourbridge , the grtund will , in many oases , beeuly half manured , as he had found to be the case in various instances ; By a pro

      per system of spade husbandry , with tbe use of liquid manure , and a moderate amount of skill , suoh as every Jabourer . might attain , there was no doubt but ihat the al'otraents would be very advantageous if situate' . ' near the houses . Mr Symons went on in say that at Bridgnorth the board of guardians -had been enabled . to take a farm -they would smile at his calling it a farm , sines it was only four acres and a half—well , a garden , then ; and they had brought thither tbe children from the Union workhouse ^ keeping them there altogether . With the exception of a very little assistance by men , the work of tho garden is done entirely by about fifteen children . He bad obtained from the master of the Union : workhouse , an intelligent man and a prao tised * agriculturist , a statement of the system and its . resul's , - which he would read . The net profit on the Soar stores and a half was £ G 5 last year . The master says j—

      ; Tbe kinda of produce are , - manjrold-wurael ,, carrots , canbaite , yetcbea or tires , Italian ' rye grass , and patat . iea . These last supply the school at a market price ; and if fcheru bo any to spare , they aro sold wherever I can fln ' d the bust market , I must not omit to tell you , Sir , that I . always endeavour , when practicable , to take a eetoud crop iff the same ground , which I am in general able to do , from the ' large amount of liquid manun ; I have at command ; for instance , after early potatoes I get rape 0-. whiiemufltard , after tho winter vetches I get swtdcB , and after the fitataown vetcheo turnips . The cultivation of- ' Italian rye-grass , too , is particularly worthy the attention of any one having plensy of liquid

      manure , as" it may be cut three or four times during oq « eaaaon , I have bad It more than two feet higb this ye » r , have cui it once or twice , and shall cut it twice more . It may riot "be uninteresting to yoa to know that one of tha boys grew on ' one perch of ground , last yenr , numgoldiwuriela 'Weighing 6 owt . 1 qr , 5 _ 8 „ ormor-ttihn 60 tons ' ptr acre . I believe , too , I may * aj the average weight per acre ef tbe crops ivfl grow are , ns n- ar a » may bo , as follows : —Cabbage , 50 -ons ; CanotR , 20 to 21 teas ; owedep , 30 tons ; wuriele , 30 to 10 ; potato ^ , 300 husB ' . lfl . of 90 ' lbJ ., or more than twelve was . We have four acres of ground cultivated b ) the epade .

      . ( Sliced ) Henbi ' CIabiand , Master . kl Market D ; uyton Union , there is a garden containing two roods and fifteen poles and a half . It produced , last . . year , potatoes , cabbages turnips , oaioii ! * , carrots , paranips , reas , and other vegetables , to the amount of £ 36 Ids 3 d ., being no less than at ihe rate of £ 43 . 14 * . 8 d . per aore . In other Unions tbe governors had assurtd him that , with proper management good land may be easily made to produce , from £ 40 to £ 50 gross produce per annum per acre . Now , ao far from this -being a mere fanciful . iofcure , he . oould produee ; three or four other casesof much larger returns , but he did not wish to press the argument beyond its legitimate influence . From his - . imi'ial experience be bad no doubt thatunder a

      , proper system of spade husbandry , with the applies-• ion of liquid manure , and location of the allotments clofO to the cotiagen , an average annual produce of £ _ 0 per aoro might be obtained . He estimated the seed at £ 2 10 s . per half acre , whioh would leave somewhere afeouc £ 16 or „ 17 net , after deducting the rent ot laud . Of course , on that calculation , the labourer was supjosed to give his labour ; and in that way the reiurn on which he might reckon would be about 61 . 4 d . per week , But some working men might reply , 'I don ' t know these newfangled ways . ' ( A . laugh . ) Well they were not so very newfangled . There were some very cheap tracts published , by which the system was explained ; and if they could getsome person here ' who would show the people the why to carry out

      tbe system , thoy might get something like the return which ho had mentioned . If , V ^ wever , tbey did not gain a return to the extent whioh he had stated , they would ^ ain a great moral advantage . It had been very p-. operly remarked by the Mayor that the allotmi'Dts formed oae of the best means for keeping men from the beer shop and the public house ; and he ( Mr Syraona ) obiiM e , ive them casesof persons wbo had beqo either , drunkards , or at least iu the habit of frequenting beer-houses , & a ., but : had been rechimod , and who owned that they owed it under God to the aid of the allotments ( Cheers . ) Many of the tenants of those allotments cultivated corn , and it was highly desirable that they should do soon the system iA nibbling . It appeared from practioal ex . periments that , according to the present thick mode

      of sowing j the wheat comes up very thickly ; but this necessarily results : \ however flourishing while iu infancy , when it grows larger it becomes impossible for thu land to turni ^ suffioient nourishment for all the plantsi There tiieu ensues what wa might call a struggle between them for subsistence , anrfmnly a very small proportion is able to survive the struggle —the rest perish . But this is not all . The > plant * which perish have previously , to a great'extent ; exhausted the strength of the land . The farmers have , nevertheless , ken sowing-in Eng . ' aod , ' 2 \ bushels ot seed , to the acre .. Now , those who hsvo tried the experiment " , find that they can get a larger pi-educe from one bushel , Tiauv . tue waste of seed wheat- on 7 . 500 , 000 acres , at 1 J bushels per acre would amount t » 1 , 171-875 quarters—an amount of corn almost equal rto our ordinary importation of foreign . This ia ? ge quantity was employed every

      year in doing no sort of good ,,. but-absolutely , to rot and injure thereat . Taking the experiments which had been made , and allowing for bad eeasona and other adversities , it rnjgjit foe fairly assumed , that an sore of ground . * well ouhivated and manured , would giro at least £ 40 worth ot produce . / Tae dibbling system ooimeted in making small holes eight or ten inches apartj jn rows a foot apart , so as to give room to ? hoaing between , to , take up the weeds . Thoy had rmly to gu to someailotmcnts to see in the weads an obvious reason why the tcdants did not get from them tho ndvuntage whioh tbey expected ; they idid not giy ;; labour enough . 11 the cultivation . Mr Allman , of Horsham , stated that he had realised sevecty-one bushels on . one aero of land by this system , whereas , according to the present system of cultivation , he was told that if they got four or five and twenty bushels per acre , taking good and bad land together , tbat . that was about ihe average .

      RidHARD Smvth , Esq , —Eighteen bushels per acre , in tii is county , ! -s the average . xV ! r SvMOssi-If that were so , slight as bis ' experience ; had been'iu agriculture , and much as he esteemed many of the fa < -meiB of this county j ' he could not , help ujihg that thoy were vory much behind . Let them tako the l & araple of Mr Batu ' on , a gentleman well known to them , who iaat the present . time nuking the experiment oi dibbling . Ho ( Mr Symons ) had recently visited Mr Batson ' a farm , and he found there twelve boys in a field dibbling whtat by thera selves . He understood from Mr Batsbn that , for operations % h'ioh"dohot require much strength , but do require some nicety , he would ' rither trusthnys thaumin . lie ( Mr S . ) had written a letter' the

      ¦ other day to a large farmer ofhis acquaintance in Buokin » hamBhire , requesting him to give him the results ' of his experiments . Now , it was not'usual for . lawyers to call witnesses against themselves—fa laugh )—but he should do so upon this occasion flu friend told him tbat the dibbling system was a failure oh larfco farms , but would do well on small farms , fie said , 'I have produced 2 , 000 grains from one grain of seed . I fully admit that , as a general principle , corn ought to be dibbled . ' Tho amount of produce , from one grain was to be explained by theiaefc , that , if they j / ut in a single erain , it had the power to tiller : that is , the corn becomes several

      distinct plants It was not unusual to iisd one grain thus produce twenty-oight , and in some cases thirty distinct ears . Ilia--friend woni onto say , 'I don ' t gay that the farmer ought to dibblo corn instead of sowing it , as there are a great many things wbioiir render sowing at random preferable to dibbling , It costs more than sowing it thin—it takes raore time to grow , and th « land must , there fore bjgoi ; ready earlier . More attention must bs ' paid to-the goodness ofthe seed , it may bo injured by the wire-wi ; rm , and will thea uttd transplanting , rolling or pressing down , which requites considerable labour . Not a weed must bs allowed to show ; and whether there be weeds or net the land must be frequently

Ifth « y would only remember the beautiful parable of the talents , aud s-ee what cSpaeity for exertion tfce Givtr of all good had entrusted to each of thera , th . ' . y would set to work zealously in tho career which He'hnd pointed out ta them . He believed that we had not arrived at a tithe of the productiveness of this country .

There were few things which tended more to moral and religious improvement , and—difforing as he did from Lord Radnor—be would add , toithegdudgovfrnnient of the country . Various objections had been raadeto the allotment system , one of which was thatit tookra the time whiah ought $ o be given to those who psy the labourer . It was certainly quite possible for * man who held an allotment thus to wrong ha employer , but ha ( Mr S . ) could not see how amatf _ learning the value ofhis labour , and acquiriaj habits of industry , could be more injurious to tha employer than the eame workman ' s spending hia evening in the beer house .

Bui tho wronging of an employer by devotingtime to an aiiofmuo * was a mere abuse , which did not necessaii ' v fallow from the system , which would in ite legitimate . to : _ . ing benefit both employer and employed . Than again they were told that it employed a large proportion of land which was wanted for mure imp irtaut purposes ; but he would reply , ' if the remits'hi what Ibavn stated , no matter what may ba :. he o « r « pose for which the land is Mated , it is im & osribto to apply it to s more important purpose . ' ( Quaere . ! There was no claim more important than that of a system which tended to elevate tbe moral and ohvsa . cal condition ofthe working classes . It might- utfli give them political freedom , but it would pavo tha

      way for their introduction into the more glorious libi-rty of the Gospel . It wis a great mistake to measure the rornfor ' of the workiog classes simply by their wages . He had been in a district- wherc a working man had been earning £ 2 a w . ek throughout the year ; and he had also seen a poor Scottish , weaver , whose whole earnings did not exceed 12 * . a week , and who , while be had not either tho kind or the quantity of food which the former had , y «« , < ria his bible on his . shelf , bearing the marks of frequent use , and the regularity of feis . habit ? , tevtrin hislifo know that amountof want which the former experiences every Friday and Saturday . Whsfc would the meeting think of these workmen , n it content with beer or ctfer , ordering pints and quarts *! port wine ; and a pretty mess the publicans sold , them

      under that name . The men would goand buy a leg of mutton , or a goose , and—so great waa their impatience as they sat round while it . was roastingthey would out pieces from it , leaving often little more than the bones by tbe timo . wh . en ,.. tho joint would have been cooked . ( Laughter . ) At Walsall and Stourbridge this was by no \ ueans anfreqntmtly the cape . The comfort ofthe working class demanded not so much upon tho amoust of their wages , as upan their moral habits and their industrial pursuits . The learned gentleman concluded an eloq / atnt « n > dwss by exhorting the working classes to p & ce thaS confidence in the gen tlemen who work the society , which their zealous and untiring exertions lor tie welfare of the poor se justly merited .

      Vtbjscks.—During The Last Few Days Accou...

      VTbjscks . —During the last few days accounts hava been received at Lloyd ' s of the loss of several vesseta The Free Trader , for Cork , from St John ' s . N « w Brunswick ; a Hamburgh emigrant ship , from New York , with 122 passengers ; and the Michigan , hound for London , are reported as lost . The captain , his wife , and three seamen belonging to the latter vusel were drowned . Twelve other seamen were saved by the brig Anderson . Three pr four vessels have boea reported as wrecked during the late gales , but fortunately without loss of life iu any instance . The Effect * of Fbeb Tbadb , — At a public meeting at tho Sheffield Town Hall , last week , on-the subject of the forthcoming municipal ekotion ° , Cou _ - oillsr Pearson ( hitherto an ardent and st & unoh FreB Trader ) expressed himself in very equivocal terms o _

      the subject of Free Trade when ape & kiDg on the question of marking cutlery , and the exportation * the raw material . Mr Pearson is a partner in a highly respectable firm in tho Sheffield trade , and may , therefore , be supposed to be competent to form a tolerably fair opinion of the practical results of Free Tra & e , so far ss his branch of trade , at least , is concerned .. But what does he say * Why , that' Sheffield is'like a man who has lost his character , with regard to the production of sterling articles , especially in America . ' On the exportation of the raw material ( steel ) , by means of which other nations are enabled to manufacture for themselves , especially with

      our best hands into the bargain , Mr Pearson xpeaka despondingly . . Free Trader as X am , yet I am in fi difficulty as to the propriety of its being piflCBeded with , and if it can be proved that the present system , of exportation is as injury to the trade ofthe town ,, there ought to . be some alteration effected . ' Yes , tha I shoe is beginning to pinch , and Mr Pearson may rest i assured that he is not the only one who feels tits i smarting effects oi Free Trade in Sheffield . Littto s better than a year ago , Earl Fifswflliam did all butt raad his recantation of Free Trade at the Cutlers * * * feast . No one will deny that the trade of SheffiehU has deteriorated since the operations of Free Trade .
