The following petition from the proprietors and occupiers of land in the hundred and neighbourhood of Usk, was lately forwarded to the House of Commons:

"That in consequence of the many heavy burthens under which your petitioners labour, they are utterly unable to bring into market the produce of the soil in competition with those of other countries.

"The result of four years' experience has, in the opinion of your petitioners, fairly proved that the Corn Bill has entirely failed to afford that necessary support, and to produce those beneficial effects to the Agricultural and real interests of the country which were intended by it.

"Your petitioners are but too well con .vinced, that unless some effectual measures be speedily adopted in their favour, by your Honourable House, there will be no possibility of their being enabled to answer the heavy demands made upon them, and they must therefore anticipate the ruin of a great additional number of those concerned in Agriculture, and the exclusion of every prospect of profitable return for the capital expended, even on lands of superior quality.That it is the humble yet most earnest request of your petitioners, that either protecting duties be imposed, sufficient to enable the British farmer to meet on equal terms the importer of Foreign Agricultural produce, or other such measures as shall, by the wisdom of your Honourable House, be deemed expedient.-That your petitioners beg to state, what they conceive to be an incontrovertible fact, that legal provisions to enable them to cultivate the soil with the prospect of a reasonable return of profit, would be conducive to the prosperity of the manufacturer, the welfare of the labouring classes, and the consequent reduction of the poor rates."

KENT.

A numerous and respectable meeting of the owners and occupiers of land in Kent, was held, at Maidstone, when the following petition to the House of Commons was unanimously agreed to:

"That your petitioners are persuaded it is scarcely necessary to resort to argument to convince your Honourable House of the distress which pervades the general body of agriculturists throughout the empire. Several farmers have already left their farms from an inability to continue them, and many others must inevitably be compelled to do so, unless some relief is speedily afforded them. Thus prevented from giving employment to their accustomed number of labourers, pauperism has increased, and, as a natural consequence, the Poor's Rates to an alarming and most enormous extent; whilst the resources of the agriculturist, upon whom the burthen of discharging them principally falls, are most materially diminished.

"Your petitioners presume not to suggest what measures may be best calculated to afford the desired relief, but they respectfully, yet earnestly pray, the immediate attention of your Honourable House to this momentous subject, involving not alone their individual interests, but, as intimately connected with them, those of a most important and numerous class of the community. And they rely with perfect confidence upon the united wisdom of parliament, to devise such means as shall rescue from its present depressed state this main spring of national prosperity."
