. SOCIETY FOR Tin: ENCOURAGEMENT or AGRICULTURE, MA- ,y numerous Apr) FisnssiesF—‘fly Into New Brunswick pa- ? pars, we perceive that a public Meeting was recently held in St. John, N. 8., “ for the purpose of considering the best method of Improving the circumstances of the country, by encouraging the Agriculture, Manufactures, and Fisheries of the Province.” The Meeting was very numeroust atten- nded. John Duncan, Esq., being called to the chair, several gentlemen addressed the Meeting in strong and forcible lan- guage—and in some instances at great length—on arvariety of topics connected with the object of the Meeting. The > result was, the passing ofthe following Resolutions, and the . organization ofa Society for the purpose ofgiving them practical effect :— '

Resolved, That the Commercial prosperity ofeverv country is ‘ intimately connected with the presperity ofitl Agriciillurills, and that it is equally incumbent upon Government, upon the Legis- lature, and upon the public generally, to unite in efforts to ini- prove the Agricultural condition of this Province, by'the removal .ofreinovahle obstructions, and by an extension of encourage- ment to Farmers.

Resolved, That it is the opinion ofthis meeting, that the.en- couragernent of Manufactures within the Province is the best mode of protecting its Agricultural interests, as the Operatives engaged in Manufactures furnish the Former a Home and certain Market for his surplus produce. -

Resolved, That the extensive and valuable Fisheries ofthis Province need protection from foreign encroachment, and en~ , couragelpentby Legislative Bounty; and if' prosecuted’in an ef- ficient manner, would improve the condition ofthe Farmer, by opening an additional market for his surplus produce and furnish- ing lillri with a cheap and wholesome'nrticle of food ; would ne- cessarily give employment to a large number ofoperatives and tradesmen, and would increase and extend the foreign trade of ‘ New Brunswick, by supplying a valuable and much needed urti-

cle ofexport. 1

Resolved, That in giving protection and encouragement to Agriculture, Manufactures and the Fisheries, it should he an es- tablished principle, that till those great interests ofthe Province should receive equal support, without an undue preference being- given to either. ,

Resolved, That a Provincial Association be formed, for the pur- pose ofgiving effect to the Resolutions passed this evening by all legal and constitutional means, and that persons favourable thereto, ill all parts of the Province, be requested to join and co- operate therein.

, That the; above Society \vill,'ere long—if judiciously and energetic: ly conducted—prove of vast and essential .servicc to New Brilliswic , we entertain not ’the‘slightest doubt; and we would embrace the present opportunity to suggest the propriety ofthe immediate formation ofn similar lusti- tutlou among' ourselves. Surely, at no period ofour history did the necessity for something of the kind present itself with greater force than it does at the present moment. Let therePbe. therefore, “ a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull alto- gether,’_‘ and the work will be accomplished.

The thermometer has been down tojijleen below zero in the city ofSnJohn. A bill and petition to the Pro- vincial Legislature, for power to borrow £6000, to pay ofl~ the debts of the County ofSt. John, were agreed to'nt a ‘Special Session ofthe Magistrates, a short time since. A cargo of Flour, manufactured at the City Mills from J1me- rican “wheat, was lately shipped _for Liverpool, G. \B., on speculation. The Temperance cause is said to be mak- ing rapid strides in some parts of New Brunswick. The St. John 'I‘otal Abstinence Society numbers 3,000 members. A new paper, called The Temperance Telegraph, has just be u issued under its patronage. —-A shocking murder was perpetrated at St. John on New Year’s Eve. A num— ber ofsailors had been drinking freely together, and as a na- tural consequence, at length got qllarrelling, when one of them stabbed his companion with a Spanish knife, which entered his heart, causing immediate death!

VVaucx AT Seal—The Brigantine Maitlund, which ar- rived at Yarmouth, on the 8th January, reports, that on the 25th of December last, in latitude 39, 40; longitude, 67, 30; fell it: with the wreck of the Brig Sterling, water logged and dismasted. Capt. Murphy boarded her, and found every thing gone offdeck, boats, batches, and most of'hcr bulwarks, and under a shelter erected with boards across her hows, he found four dead bodies, and part ofthe carcass of a dog. The bodies appeared to have been dead for some days. It being near night and the wind fieshening, Capt. M. could make no further discovery. The Sterling, Captain Robbins, was owned by R. Clements, Esq., of Yarmouth. which port she loft about the 5th of December last, for the West- Indies.

FIRES !——According to the recently-published ac- counts, the nunibcr of disastrous fires has greatly increased; and, as it is of paramount importance to apply some healing applica- tion to the torturning wounds created by a burn, immediately, we do most curncltly rehommend our friends and the public ge- nerally, to keep by them “ Holloway‘s Ointment,” as a special means of cure. The sufferer should also take “ llollnway’n Pills" for a few. days, as a mild allerutive. It is an excellent auxiliary to the Ointment. The cures effected in cases ofgonl, rheuma- tism, cancer, scrofuln, paralysis, wounds ofall kinds, (such as bad legs, &c.,) by the above celebrated Ointment and. Pills, have pro- cured for them a repulaliou altogether unrivalled.
