Immediately alter the Grain Show, the General Annual Meeting‘of the Society took place, when the Secretary read and presented the following, Rsron'r: Your Committee, after having carefully examined the Vouchers and Accounts of the Society, have to express their heartfelt congratulations, while they state that the aflitirs of the Society present a most pleasing prospect, and feel uite comlorted to see the conjectures of the last year’s Committee in their Annual Report, as to the increase of improvement in the Society, borne out with the desired effect. . Your Committee have to remark, that you are now becom- ing, through practical experience, . enabled to perceive the many important advantages atid facilities which the like institutions afford a farming community, while you, through the medium of the Western Agricultural Society, aided by the Mother Agricultural Institution of the Colony, can make much progress in every branch of husbandry, rural affairs, and rural economy, which requires much to be exemplified, and can be prosecuted to a great extent. . Your Committee have with reluctance to acknowledge that part oftliis district is yet in a backward state in agricul- tural affairs, but the cause may be attributed to a custom which is too prevalent in all new farming colonies, viz: Mechanics turning farmers, and litrmers turning mechanics, which ultimately will render imperfection iii a science which re- quires that strict attention and study which agriculture de— mands; yet, notwithstanding all those im iediments, you have to boast of an increase of agriculture all commerce in parts of this district, which is deservmg of much credit. ' ‘Your Committee'would further remark, that improvement in breeding is increasing but partially, as the most of far- mers do not attend to a general crossing in their stock, which certainly produces a difi‘erence in a stock of no small loss to the farther, when it is considered which is the M4 gain, breeding an inferior stock ofcattle, or a superior or improved stock. ’ -

here seems to be an increased desire amongst the agri-

culturists in this district for improvement, which is plainly to be observed in the extensive fields, curtailed forests, com: fortable dWell'tngs, and 'commodioiis barns, which bespea'k the operative exertions many of your industrious hus- bandmen. ~ , .

Your Committee, on behalf of the Society, feel it imperative to express their most sincere thanks to Sir George F. Sey- mour, who was pleased to give his approval of the Western

lars towards its support, 'as well also to Peter Macgowan, Esq., Secretary of the Central Society, for his‘ready co-operatiou gird kind attention at all times in corresponding with this

oolety. . ,

Your Committee have to remark, that the Secretary has furnished them with a statement of the roduct of the Rhoan potato which’ P. Macgowan, Esquire, ecretary of the Cen- tral Society, was pleased_to furnishhim with last Spring. From two small potatoes;’weighing4 ounces, there has been the extraordinary product of 26 lbs—the potatoes were planted by the Secretary, who took every means in his power to give them a fair trial, which product must prove satisfactory to every member of the Society, and trust that youwill endeavour to continue the growth of this fine potato, which, undoubtedly, will be a great improvement to that crop. '

Your Committee conclude by expressing their most ar-

fl dent wishes that all persons connected and interested in the

welfare of . the Western Agricultural Society, may ever be found to support the most e cient means towards the sup- port of its growing interests. - - g ‘ ' By order of the Committee,

We have the pleasure of con tulating our readers, that through the exertions of His xcellency the Lieutenant Governor, a separate Mail Bag is from henceforth to be made up at-th'e Post Office iii England for this Island; and it i most eagpbstly to be wished that the House of Assembly will seriously take the matter into consideration, and further the designs oftbe parent Government, by devising some plan for the sure and speedy conveyance of the Mails after their arrival in Pictou. If this desirable object is accomplished, we mav receive the Mail in twenty-two hours after its arri- val in alifax. It is of little use to us that, the Steamers arrive in ten or twelve days, if we have to wait nearly that time for its transmission from Halifax to this Island, a dis- tance of about 160 miles.
