In a letter to Mr. Bonner, Secretary' to the Spalding

Association for the Protection of Agriculture, Earl Spencer declines to retire from the Presidency of the Royal Agricultural Society of England : the step would injure the Society ; and his opinions on the subject of the Corn- laws were known long before the existence of the Anti-Corn-law League, with which he has no connexion whatever.

Anti-League meetings are recorded at St. Albans, (1,000/. subscribed,) Wincanton, Weatherby, and Peebles.
