Ur. HODGES, M.Y., opened the proceedings by stating to Sir Castles Wool that he telt it ids duty, ost the part el the &pasties of matinees from Bu.ez, Hereford, Wor mier% aid Kest, to open the ore es their behalf, Much was act • sew ass. He was am of those who had. Wane- asoly, sines 1819, men repeated applications fee relief from the sharp of the duty ea hops. Poetise; that this quotion interested slmeet the existences or husdreds of thee sands of person, he ham that he was inesspetent to do justice to thesubject ; and he should not have aide/take* it is there were set gestlemea present who would give him their assistents in what might be defective in his Mato seer—ead whisk statements, they hoped, would =amuck au immune spas his mind as that he would teal it ha duty to alley the peenesemnt of the duty des is the year 18 , 0. If the Mesh of the mop of 1549 were to be sold eater the alarms of the growth had boss paid, enough wend sot main ha the hands of the pimento pay the duty of the path year. Mosey was so ono in those districts where hops were grows, that the aegis rates were reluctaatly compelled to issue sumo e e s 'my large extent for the payment of the poor rates. He knew coo magistrate alone who kid signed 40. If, therefore, non could not be found to pin the poor rates, it was perfectly impossible that it ',I'M be towed to most the demands of the hop duty for 1848; sad if, the/eke*, he satisfactorily proved to the Chancellor of the Exchequer that so men distress existed in the hop growing desolate, he ventured to hope that what they were sow sang ia the way of relief would not be withheld. They were anxious that the payment of the duty should be postponed—set by way eisiestaiang a cultivotios that ought ton dimisklisolt— but simply because it was absolutely sad physically lopes sable for them us find nosey ; end he was gate neon that U legal means were resorted Woe the wpm of selleming the payment of this duty, It would entail complete ninepin may hundreds of irdostrless mea ; and certainly no MS Is England were to be felted who would advocate the piq uant of any tax who sash korfal sonoemmicies were lure to ease*, and than ware many magnesia is that f 04131 who would moat= his stsismost, that Men Ude tan attempted to ne getnened, the menthe would be perfesely fearful to coatemplate. Oa bang, therefore, ef those poor people whom they were there to regmanst, he did (west the Chancellor of the Embalmer he mist upon their ease, and be hoped he would sessider it memison with his duty, as • high patella oiesr, not to reject the aprlicatioa than made to him for their rehef, foe tee brew well that it the daty were enforced, it would be followed by eionsequences the met disastrous. Suck • deputatioa as that by which he was then sum roanded, had never assembled within them wells. It consisted of intimate of every shads of poll tiol opinion ; but the gentlemen who stood there today had no other object is view than simply the one objeet before them. the y lad nut met to further the print*. of free trade or the principle of Protection—they only met to advocate the pastpocentent ot the hop duty. That mestioa they wished to be kept distiact from ail others —they wished it to be decided upon its own merits ann. Tb.y liad Moen to connect it and mix it up with any other sgitatior quarks. They now distinctly appealed for some relief, which they hoped to be furnished to them ; and they alth sincerely hope I that some better method of colhothen might be adopted for the future. He was tot aware that he had st all no-stated the case, bat if he had, it was some satisfaction fur him to know that many gentlemen peewit wcud correct his statements if he had erred on arty point. Thty had the honour of ;resenting memorials from so lom than 113 parishes—the principal occupiers of which were per. sons iaterested in the coltinuon of hops ; and the object of all the matins was that be would have the kindness to posh pine the duty of 1818 for, at any rate, another year ; and if Sir Charles wood grant them their prayer, they were quite willies to pay the duty upon the growth of 1849 at the pond when it properly, became due. He had the honour of travelling that morning in the train with the Attorney- Geonal, when he sad, " I have paid my hop duty." In deed! he had no ctinbt of that, and so there were many pre sent there to-ley who had also done so, but he would Ven ture to sly without fear of contradiction that, where one person Ind paid, at least 20 could not; and on behalf of thoae 20. he hoped from Sir Charles a favourable considera tion of the cam that had been laid before hies ; and that he would comsat to the postponement of the duty to some die tan'. period. Mr. Hodges' statement was then confirmed by several wsaistrates, clergymen, bankers, and some of the principal MI agents and land owner, all of whom represented the distress of th • poor in the hop.growing districts to be not tame ; and that if the duty should be attempted to be enforced by legal means, they were ono and all quite certain that the distress would be far more deplorable theft in the years 1822-U, when in onions prevailed to so fearful an extent. Whatever sight be s id of other kinds of agricultural produce, it was e.rtanily true, though it might appear parodoxicil, that when the crops of hops were largest and malt abundant, the distress amongst the growers of those hops was the greatest. so that the blessings of providence were Madly tuned into a cures. After the various @peahen had occupied the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, by dwelling upon the me topics for nearly two hours, the whole of the memorials were presented to him ; alter which Sir CHARLES WOOD said, that nothinz could be mare yelufal to him than to listen to the statements that had bees made—the accuracy of which it was impontile for him to doubt or deny; but they had placed him in considerable difficulty, and in • pcoition of such difficulty that he must done gieir g an mower on his own personal authority. He should feel it his duty to morrow to have an interview with Lord John Rand upon the subject, and after 0011111111- skating with him he would give the deputation his sewer, which he would do as soon as possible, for he well Imo how desirable it was that ma early and final decision should be Doom to upon the outden Without, however, disputing the money of the statement that had bees Wade, he confe ssed he did eel quite understand the present lorsordieary state of the hop-growing distries. Some snowmen might, where, be modeler various circumstances that might be peculiar at the . piesint time. He had re mind to he soda out fm Mat • paper cootaining the noon of relief paid to the poor daring the von 1822, MO, and 1848, and by looking at this paper he saw that there was a dindoutios is the poor rates paid Me in 1848, se sempsrol with the years 1822 mod 1830, of shout 60 per asst.

DETECTION OF EXTENSIVE FORGERIES ON THE RUSSIAN BANK. Two persons, of the Hebrew persuasion, named Hyams Lipschitz and Marcus Levine, were yesterday est= muted by the Portsmouth bench of magistrates for trial, at the Hampshire assizes, charged with extensive forgeries on the Russian Bank of Poland, at Warsaw. The case had beta heard by the bench on two previous oncsaions, but pri vately, as it was desired to procure further evidence betore nuking the particulars pub:ie. That evidence has now been procured, and ne injury can, therefore, result from publicity. By the depositions read yesterday, and by further evi (tense produced, it appears that in the early part of this month, the prisoner Levine called on Mr. Louis Arnold Van denburgh, the Prussian vice-consul at Portsmouth, and offered to disclose to him the particular of an extensive forgery on the Prussian bank, and to give up the names of parties implicated in the fraud ; requiring the sum of 2,000!. for the information. Levine stated he could procure MIN of the notes for Mr. Vandenburgh's inspection, and it was ultimately arranged he should do so. Accordingly he communicated with the prisoner Lipschitz in London, sad received three notes which he took to Mr. Vandenb urgh, but by some mistake of Levine's, they were not Pennon, l as he brat stated, but Russiannote.. This being the ease, Mr. Vandenburgh placed the matter in the hands of Mr. Leggett, the superintendent of the Portsmouth Bcrough police. A plan was shortly arranged, and Levies wrote to Lipschitz, and induced him to MIS down to Portsmouth, brining with him • quantity of the notes, which Levine represented he could pass off. Lipschitz went down to Portsmouth on the 14th inst., and his arrival was observed by the superintendent of police, and it was found that be brought a car per bag with him. An interview between Mr. Vandenburgh and the two prisoners took place on that day at the New York Tavern, Bath-square Point, Portsmouth, the superintendent (of course disguised) being present, and Mr. Vanderburgh personating a foreign captain to whom it was pretended by Levine the forged notes were to be weed off. During the interview, the suspicions of Lipschitz were aroused, and, pretending to fetch the notes, he went out, Levine accompanying him. Oa getting into the street, Lipschitz told the other prisoner he thought he had been "sold " by him, as he did not like the appearance of Mr. Leggett, the superintendent of police. A police inspector, who had been set to watch the prisoners, thinking from the haste with which Lipschitz was walking that he intended to make his escape, went after the ptomain and apprehended them both. In this state of affair* it was important to obtain possession of the bag which Lipschitz was known to have brought wish him by railway and every exordia was need for that psi. pees, but until last Monday without avail. On that day k was delivered to the police by a Mrs. Orgy, a baker, in Broad street, Portsmouth, witn whom Lipschitz had left it, on the morning of the interview and his apprehension, end of whom he had bought a penny lost, begging to be allowed to leave his beg for • few minutes with her. This bag was produced yesterday before the magistrate,, and identified by Mn.

Adolphe'Woutzell, a clerk of that kink, happening to be traseactiog business for it in Reeked, to be forged. The notes found in the bag were also of • precisely *fain lar character to the three the prisoner Levine bed previously received from Lipschitz. The 353 seas *mod in the bag with the three above mestieeed were each for three silver roubles Some letter, Is Rebteer, found on the prisoners, and one intercepted in its from Lif schitz sines hie apprehession, were put In tease lead by • Mr. Eckman, sad they farther impiiestod Lipschitz in the forgery, although they were written is seek • species of slang that it was difficult forthe tranekkor to describe their meaning. The whole of the depositions bevies bees read, and fresh evidence takes down, Mr. Peechey, from London_ , who appeared on behalf of the BALM consulate, addressed the bench, and mid that with regard to the prisoner Levine, he would only ask the bench to bind him down in sufficient reeognizasees to appear at the assizes as a witness. The matetratss, however, harks privately consulted, deter mined to commit both prisoners for trial at the neat mime. It appears that considerable forgeries have lately been effected on the Werner Bank, and it is stated that die pri soner Lipschitz was employed by the Boldea **swiss* to assist is their detection.

The annual exhibition of stock of this society took place on Wednesday last, in the town of Llandovery. The character of the show, as regards quality, was satisfactory, but we think that the number shown was lees than on the last occasion. The show of berate, all of which, with three exceptions, were of the Hereford and short-horned breeds, was exceedingly fine, and those exhibited by Captain Cross were certainly excellent specimens, sad showed what even in this country can be done with proper care and attention ; the gallant captain was, as he deserved to be, particularly successful in carrying off premiums, and we hops his example will be generally imitated, so that in a few years others will be found in a condition to compete with him. Mr. Jones, Cynghordy, who has often before been successful, also showed some good beasts. There was • manifest improvenvnt in the show of sheep, both as respects quality and quantity. The aged ram of Mr. Davies, Froodvale, and the pen dimes of Mr. Junes Haver d, being much siondred. The show of pigs was neither large nor good; and the sgriculturiets of the district would do well to turn their attention to this class of farming stock, as, if this is done, we feel convinced that in a few years the Name improvement that is now visible in cattle will be whammed in pigs. The show of bones was very small, there being a much less number exhibited than we have seen on any former occasion. There were, however, some very handguns animals shown, so that what was lost in number may be said to have been made up in quality. Mr. Matthew Ice, Itsoseren, near Trodegar, was the judge of the stock, and we us glad to Nay his decisions gave general satisfaction. The rue remark will apply with opted fats to Mr Lewis, Llwynyfedwee, the judge of tile green crops and draping. Messrs. Hodges end Wright, implement-makers, Brecon ; showed a large assortment of useful agricultural implements, which attracted a considerable number of spectators. At the committee meeting in the morning several points cautected with the future welfare of the society were dis cussed. The propriety of confining the premiums to tenant (emirs was one of the topics; and on this subject there was a neat variety of opinions bet, on the whole, we think the pinks advocating the limitation were the majority of those resent. The question of allowing tenant-fanners, not pay ing more than a certain anima rent, and not being members, to compete for all the premiums offered by the society was also discussed, but ne determination was come to, as Mr. Davies, Froedtele, gave notice that at the spring meeting he would propose that a resolution to that effect should be in corporated with the rules of the society. The expediency of amalgamating this society with the Lleadiki District Society, was also discussed ; and the result was, we believe, that a proposition to that effect will be made ; in the meantime, it was deemed edviseble to extend the operations of the society, and use parishes previously excluded from competition were added to the district in which the satiety's operations are confined. In the erasing a large company sat down to • most excel lest dinner at the Castle Hotel. John Jones, Esq., president of the society, presided, supported ea his right by D. A. S. Davies, Rai , M.P. ; Csptsia Rpm ; and Captain Cross ,• and on his left by Bowel G wyn , Esq., M.P. ; Lewis Lewis, Req. ; sad D. Thomas, Ere.

MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL AGRICUL TURAL SOCIETY. night, All show, rpoo Lord Ds T The dinner aaaa of this at eo L c:::ty tr . ? place on A T A h L or y a , dey un der whoa auspices the show has this year been held, nom *sA the chair. Re was supported, right s and left, by Wm. ro Bwn, Esq , M.P. ; Gilbert Greenall , . M.P. for War elegies ; Mark Phillips, Eq.; Tattoo Egerton, Esq., M.P. • J. I. Blackburn., Esq. and several of the chief landed gentry of the two coun ties.—Aster the usual lo)al , toasts, The CHAIRMAN row, and in complimentary terms pro =the health" of the patrons of the society, the Earl of y, and Wilbraham' Egerton, Esq., of ranee. WM. TATTON EGERTON, Esq., on behalf of his father, responded to the toast. The CHAIRMAN said—l now come to what more im mediately concerns our meeting here to-day. I am happy, gentlemen, to have seen in the touts which I have had the honour to propose, that I have been met by your hearty con currence and ready empathy ; and I am slue that your con memos will not be one whit the lem hearty, or your glares lea full, fa drinking " Prosperity and success to the Man chester and Liverpool Agricultural Society." In proposing this toast to you, gentlemen, I cannot bat feel how inade quate I sin to do justice to it. My experience as as agri culturist ie, lam shamed to say, very saran; tad my igno rance, I had better say at once, very great. My admiration of all those animals we saw to-day arms from my abstract love of the beautiful, and not from any knowledge of the points constituting their excellence. Therefore, gentlemen, 1 will, in the preemie of so many practical agriculturists, especially refrain from addressing you on those matters • but, still more, are politics cut from my test. By a wise and happy regulation of your society, poll tin are not to be touched upon. With politics we have nothing to do. Bat it may be expected that I should make a few remarks upon the present state and future prospects of this society, and of the great cause on whose behalf we have met here today, the sinculture of England. I have said, gentlemen, that with politic we have nothing to do. ' We nave nothing to do with those great changes in our commercial policy which have taken place—we have nothing to do with the wisdom, or the want of wisdom which has led to those changes —we have nothing do with their connectioa or non-connectioa w ith to depreciation to which we cannot shut our eyes, in the agricultural world. But we have to do, gentlemen, with the way in which that depreciation must be met. We have to look cur position straight in the face ; we have to see how we can, with advantage to curatives, profit to the country, and the commonwealth of England, carry on the cultivation of our soiL Gentlemen, it is to be done, not by looking for ward in despair on what has gone by—it is not by exhaust- iug our energies in agitating for what, speaking individually, I must consider improbable of realisation and a vision; but it is by setting our shoulders bravely to the wheel, and en deavouring to develop the capabilities of the soil of Eng- I ad, and to increase its productive power. If the pries of our produce is diminished, we must produce so much al. more. (Applause.) And 1 evil not des pair that such will be the case. No one will tell me in this age of universal improvement, when wo see in every *cacaos such advances made—when we see, for instance, that by steam space is annihilated—when we see that, by the electric telegraph, we can speak, as it were, by a flash of lightning, and draw portraits by the sun beam—that agriculture is to stand still. Ido not speak of the elec•ric telegraph or the daguerreotype, but every one of those improvements which more immediately tend to the every day practice of life may be applied to the improve ment of agriculture. Every railway which is opened opens a new market to yo'r agricultural produce—opens out some remote agricultural district to the market of a great manufac turing town. Every discovery in chemistry brings to light some new manure—some new power of developing the productive quality of the soil. And I do say, gen tlemen, when mush is the case, with the mechanical powers which the farmer will be able to apply, that there is no occasion to despond. The machines which we have seen re-day are most admirable; and many of them, by a proper application, will inertias the facility, and, consequently, render the cultivation of the soil more cheep. With these views, gentlemen, I cannot despair of the agriculture of Bag land. 1. cannot despair but teat you wilt increase the pro duee et the soil se much as to more than meet the present depressed state of the ntraxeu. But I am aware, when I speak this way, you may say—" It is all very well ;" and I will agree witn you that it is of no use, unless we ere united in ourselves. The landlords must support their tenants. (Applause.) The landlords must support their tenants by giving leases on fair and equitable terms—by ad vancing capital, end by assisting theta in drainage. (Cheers.) The temente must stand by their land lords in carrying out those improvements, and in the industrious cultivation of the land committed to their charge. If that is the case, if we stand fairly by one another, every clue of the agricultural community—land. lords, farmers, and labourers—l cannot despair but that we will see the cultivation of the soil carried on advan tageously in every way. (Applause.) I hail with plea sure the hospitality, the sympathy, and the good-will which the agricultural society of this part of the country meets with in the great towns of Liverpool and Manchester. I hail with pleasure that sympathy of the manufacturing and commercial classes in the cause of agriculture. Yost wisely do they hold it, for the interest of the ow fs the interest of the other. (Applause.) I am convinced that commerce, agriculture, and msonfactures, are bound by iudiesoluble ties; and he is no true friend to his country's greatness who preaches to any class any other doctrine. With these sentiments and feelings, I call upon you to drink my toast. I have great faith, gentlemen (to sum up what I have slid), to the application of scientific principles to the cultivation of our soil ; I have faith in the undevoloped fertility of the soil and still greater faith in the indomitable energy of British thews and sinews. (Loud apples's.) By woman out on thee. principles I am convinced that we shall still see ' agriculture flourish ; and it is because I think that this and societies :ike this are calculated to effect this object that I shall give them my support. (Loud applease.) The toast was drank with three times three. ' WM. BROWN, Esq., M.P., who, on rising, was received with the most rapturous applause, next, in neat terms, pro posed the health of the noble chairman. In replying, The CHAIRMAN said, the sentiments which I before uttered you may not all coincide in, but I may say that ' the proceeded from my heart, and you all hive me credit for the sincerity or those opinion., knowing that I, like yourselves, am entirely dependant on agriculture. (Ap plause.) I gave you the best advice, as I think, forth. main tenance of agriculture ; if agriculture tall, I must fell also. (Loud applause.) The CHAIRMAN, In highly eulogistic terms next pro posed the health of Lord Stanley. They must not quarrel with his lordship for Iris absence. He was where an Irish landlord was hest discharging his duty, in Tipperary, when they were all aware, his lordship had large estates. Would that all Irish landlords were likewise on their estates — would that all absentees from that meeting had so good, so legitinstts, and worthy an excuse. Mr. G. C. HALE, Lord Stanley's steward, returned thanks. The health of the vice-presidents was subsequently drank. This called up WM. TALTON EGERTON, Esq., who urged upon landlords the duty of supporting such societies, and of cordial co-.ration with their tenants. He threw out many vela sble practical hints, and said he saw no reason why apical tare should not reach the same eminence which had beam at tained by the two other great branches of industry, 1111111au factures and commerce. He seid, "My coanexica with actm menial pursuits has shown me more especially two thiajp in which we fail much. I know that in many cues where we have the means (farmers will tell me in some cases that they have not the means), we do not expendespital largely enough, and I ata sure that, in agricultural matters, ultimo capital is largely expended, we must not expect great returns. An. other thing tr, eooaomy in agricultural operations." The CliAltitdAN then pre rued the health of the mew ben for the southern division of Lancashire, °poplins with the tout the name of Mr. Wm. Brown whom he warmly eulogised. LI WILAM BROWN. Eso., M.P., onside( to rapped to the toast, was spin rapturously cheered. On behalf of his absent colleague and himself, he begged to make their spokes. of h ac im k" i w n iedga a manner mTre heir ilatte " tag ebai thLr an he hadde isenonrfutildegrbenaanceps,dtthhweeoymowtltul:_coloillithetiaint:bEcioliteint d w w ifffeul h ere j ag no ties, rood t le for r e th a ntire e eir re ly w ki e on n re d any subject. (Laughter.) All that they had to do, how ever, was to di.ebarge their public duties in the greatcouneil of the nation, without looking t' sem, party, or to class ; to do what they honestly a nd candidly believed to be for the p u blic good. And although there might be differences of opinion on public @objects (at had unfortunately happened that a difference had szi-ted m to our public policy), yet none could exist as to the desirability of the ob ject which had brought them there that day. They were met to promote, as hir as lay in their power, the beet interest of agriLul . ors and of the cation. He was not a practical farmer, and therefore it would be bad taste In him to endeavour to enlighten them on fanning subjects. But es he bad been met with ii.quiries from both landlords and tenants as to the eff, et which tree trade might have upon mite, perhaps it would be well it he quoted some sta tistics to show, as tar es p milk., the competition which might be eximited from abroad Austria, which was acorn growing country, prodded 1$ bushel, to the acre, France 14 bushels, America 18 bushels, Poised 20 bushels (bat that bad to go to Dan. z.e. for shipment), and Holland was esti mated to produce from 28 to 30 ousbels to the acre. Bo that it would be sun we were a match for up of them ca that (mud. (Applause.) Then uto the prices at which these countries weld afford to supply our market. He had brought with him a memorandum which showed the aMeeyi of wheat in the United States sines 1766. The gee were those of to, years, and the prime tame of the Philadelphia markets. Front 1783 to 1794 „ 1793101804 .......... 3 2 0 „ „ HOS to 1814 „ 1915 to 1824 „ 1112510 1834 • 1833 to 1844 I. ll9 8 That gave an average of 495. Sd. a qaarter fur the lowest period ; and to this must be added be . to 10s. for height, charged to profits. Now he thought they could meet that. (Cheers.) But whatever might be said in regard to grain, foreigners certainly could not compote with us is the green crops. As to the quantity of live stock which they could send, it was hardly worth Deming. Kane, in his Industrial Resources of Ireland," had shown the vast extent of our home supply. Now, with respect to Russia, fears had been expressed that we would get large supplies of wheat from Odessa. With respect to that, we had nothing to fear ; her agriculture was on the lowest scale of all, and very little wheat found its way through the Straits of Gibraltar, un less the prices were remunerative here. The poor Roolan boor brought his corn to market on a miserable cut drown by oxen : tf he could get a pittance to pay his rent, it was all he wanted. There was no capital there applied to agri culture. Under ell thew circumstances, he thought, with our good roads—with the immense capital which we could apply to the cultivation of the soil—with the Saxon energy which we possessed—with the intelligence that he saw in that room (for he had just been telling the president that he saw a great many intellectual faces around him) — with our knowledge of chemistry ; and with the various other advantages that we had, he should not be sur prised to see us, instead of being an importing country, if we put our shoulders to the wheel, become once more an exporting eountry. (" Hear," and loud applause.) Their chairman had told them with truth, he thought, that commerce and agriculture must fink or swam to. gether. The commerce of the country had been so far advantageous to the agricultural districts as to relieve them of gaucho( their surplus population, and to prevent that accumulation of poor.ntes that must otherwise have ensued. He was aware the poor-rates were heavy; but quoted statistic to show that they were much heavier when we had a much lees population, a century and a halt ago. At the commencement of the last century the justices of War wickshire fixed a labourer's wages at 3s. dd, a week in winter and 4s. Gd. in summer. Out of this the labourer had to find himself; clothes were dearer then than now; the necessaries of life were dear, and he really could not tell how the poor man contrived to struggle on. (Hear.) He was sure that if landlords and farmers did as suggested by the Chairman, we had an El Dorado here, we need not go to Calif( rnia. If agriculture would do its duty, he was sure that the mer chant with his enterprise would do his. hlr. Brown, on re auming hi. seat, was loudly cheered. The health of the committee of management was after wards given, coupled with the name of Mr. Robert Neilson. ' Mr. NEI LSON, on rising, was loudly cheered. He made an admirable spee ch, which we regret our limits compel us Ito condense. One matter which had occupied tho attection of the committee had bean already referred to by tne chair man--the relative position of landlord and ter.aut. Since he had the honour, last year, of acknowledeing the toast at Manchester, that change, which was then ratter more than dreamt of, and which was expected to come over the agri cultural interest, had arrived; and it would be idle to deny that that depression and gloom which was equally anticipated as its concomitant, had also arrived, and was now neensing heavily on the agricultural community. The home market had been thrown open to the emeepetition of the world ; and, veto ithat.nding the very eloquent and very correct statistic al details of the member for South Lancashire, there would be littlo doubt they would have to compete with better sail., get an r far production, lower wages, and equal locilities for reaching the home market, to those which our farmers had. (*.Hear," and cheers) The question thin nsturslly arose u to how that position or those prospects could be met. They had two courses open—either to sit down supinely and watt the coming storm, in hope that some fresh agitation would re lieve them for a little time, and ch 't ish that hope deferred which maketh the heart sick; or to raise themselves with manly energy to meet the changes as they approached, and to get into that mental e.r.dition which would enable them to struggle with the difficul ties when they arose, or take advantmo of whatever f irtuitous circum s ta nces might occur. He con cluded by referring to the subject of edu•ation. It was a lamentable fact, that the agricultural community were lees educated as a body than the commercial or manufactur log. It was the duty of landlords to commence operations to remedy the evil by erecting school-rooms, and it was equally in the power of landlords to attach land to th .se edifices, so that the education might not cnly be icholattic, but practically industrious. He rat down amid lend applause. At this stage of the proceedings the various prizes were read user and distributed. This was no cold formals y, as might be au; posed, hut a highly interesting prooedure. The name haying been called over, the treason, r prepared the muecy or the medal, as the Me might be, and the succe , sful competitor advanced, amidst the hearty greet:ngs and the rapturous applause of those present, to the chairman's table, to receive the prize, his lordship, in nearly every instance, accompanying the presentation by some commendatory words. Mr. James Birch, of Sefton, carried off a great variety of prizes, and was so often called up at first, that amidst the laughter of the company, he took a seat for con venience sake, at a short distance from the cladr. The cere mony over, a variety of other toas's were prspased. The CHAIRMAN gave, " The sure 'nut candidates for stock," and coupled with the toast the name of Gilbert Gresnall, here., M.P., who briefly responded. The CHAIRMAN next gave "The judges." Mr. E. W. WILMOT, in acknowledging the compliment, said he had officiated as judge for the last three yeera y and the show of this year WY the best which he had seen. If they pragresscd as they bad done they would be behind no county show in the stock theexhibited. Mr. TATTON EGERTO N, M.P., then per posed the health of Mr. Mark Philips, who responded at considerable length. The CHAIRMAN, in deservedly eulogistic term., pro posed the health of the obliging secretary, Mr. Henry White, of Warringtoo. The toast was rapturous) y received. The health of Mr. Lucas, the owner of the room, was sub sequently drunk, end the honour having been duly acknow ledged, the fair sex were remembered in the customary toast, and the meeting broke up. THE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. MEETING AT KETTERING. The second anniversary of the Northamptocehire Agricultural Society was held at Kettering on Thursday. The weather bring fine a numerous company wts attracted. The show of stock we, good, the ploughing confessedly very badly performed . At the clue of the competition about 200 peraus sat down to an excellent dinner at the Royal Hotel. Lieut.-Col. CAR.TWICIOHT, the president of the year, filled the chair, and the Rev. Sir G. Rogiffsoff, Bart., the vice chair. Among the company we obeervtd the Eight Hon. Vernon Smith, Esq., M.P., Lord Lilford, S P. Matinsell, Esq., M P., and Augustus Stafford, Esq. M.P. Oa the re moval of the cloth the usual routine toast; were given. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing prosperity to the society, would say that those who scoffed at such societies were not practical men. Before preeenting the laboured rrizes he would claim their attention for a few moments. Without the slightest intention of nuking personol charges or allu sions, he would beg to remark upon a fact which come under hie notice as • magistrate. He alluded to the practice of foisting the labourer from one parish to another, to get rid of an inconvenient population by small degrees. He had seen more than one ease of a man being brought to pri son, as he verily believed, in consequence of such treat ment. He is driven out, and finds a house, or more likely, • part of one, in a neighbouring parish, where he is looked upon as ballast alien. In parishes where the indus trious poor are Excused rates, he is not excused, for he does not belong to the parish. When charity is to be dispensed, he is passed by, because he belongs not to the parish • he is not employed, because he does not belong to the p arish. lie had seen such a man come to prison ,• his wife and children then came to the workhouse. The parishes which did this might think they evaied • pay ment, but the day would come when they would find this practice as bad in point of economy am in feelinr. With respect to the relation of landlord and tenant, he would say that the two great enemies of both were the water and the weed. He thought the landlord was bound to remove the former, and the tenant the latter. The land lord should not keep a tenant who would not combat the weed, and the tenant would be unwise who, rn these times, remained on land to which the landlord would not apply capi , al to drain it. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD, Esq., M.P., had been en trusted with the toast of the evening, " The health of the successful labourers." The question of the labourer, how he was to be disposed of, was the great question of Modern society. A new system had come into operation • it was for them to say whether into favour. (Hear, bear!)
