Dated Ist December, " GENTLEMEN—I now enclose my five pound subscription, and shall feel very grateful for the supply of pills ynu kindly send me ; indeed, if I were to give them to all that apply for them I ought to have a room full of them, for every letter now asks me to supply pills, an 3 I invariably say that I never give them to strangers ; for there are so many impostors who ask for them to make money by selling them. The medicine is greatly valued by those that are out of health, and I shall always say that it is the finest medicine ever made, and the only perfectly safe one. " I remain, Gentlemen, yours truly obliged, " SOPHIA GREY. " Messrs. Morison, British College of health, New-road, London." Lady Grey was cured, In 1834, of a complication of disorders by MORISON'S PILLS, after 30 years' suffering under doctor's treat ment, since which period her ladyship, to her immortal praise be it said, supplies, at her own expense, the deserving poor with the Vegetable Universal Medicine.

This annual exhibition of prize cattle, under the auspices of . the Smithfield Club, opened yesterday at the Horse Bazaar, King-street, Portman-square. The pri vate view took place last evening, immediately after the .Judges had completed their award, an office which, we may remark, has been one of extreme difficulty, this year, owing to the general excellence of the stock sent in for competition. The exhibition, altogether, displays a marked improve ment over any which have preceded it for some time past. If the animals generally do not present the same gigantic frames, clothed hi unwieldy masses of fat, which on some occasions heretofore have met our view, there is a decided and ♦ery evident improvement in the general breeding of the stock. The symmetry of some of the oxen, notwithstanding their enormous weight, is really marvellous, and we have seldom, had occasion to remark the admission of fewer animals of second-rate pretensions. Class I. (which it may be well to inform our non agricultural readers is not the highest class in point of merit in the exhibition) is perhaps somewhat inferior this year to the same class on some former occasions. Class 11. (the highest class in point of merit) boasts a finer collection of animals than have been brought to gether in the same division for some years. Class 111. is good ; Class VI. (the revived class for Scotch cattle) equally satisfactory ; and Class VII. in point of excel leuce has not been exceeded in any previous exhibition. The sheep classes are very good ; and the pigs are of average merit, but without calling fur particular re mark. It will be seen from the subjoined list of awards that the Prince Consort has obtained a full share of the Judges' approbation this year. His Royal Highness takes the second prize in Class 11., the first prize in Class III.; in Class VI. a Highland Scot, fed by the Prince, is commended ; a Scot and Durham heifer, ex cluded from its class by overweight, and placed among the extra stock, obtains a silver medal ; and a pen of three Bedfordshire pigs, bred and fed by his Royal Highness, obtain the second prize of 51. in Class XVIII. The Earl of Warwick takes the first prize of 301., with a gold medal, as the best ox, and a silver medal to the breeder, for his Lordship's 5 years and 17 dais old Hereford ox, bred by Mr. John Thomas, of Cholstry, near Leominster. Mr. John B.)oth, of Killerby, near Catterick, York shire, receives the first prize of 151., with a gold medal, as the best cow, and a silver medal to the breeder for his 9 years and 10 months old short-horned cow, bred by himself. Mr. John Painter, of Burley, near Oakham, takes the first prize of 201., with a gold medal, as the best long woolled sheep, arid a silver medal to the breeder for his pen of three 21 months old Leicester wethers, bred by Mr. Robert Smith, of Burley. Mr. Samuel Webb, of Babraham, takes the first privl of 201., with a gold medal, as the best short-woolled sheep, and a silver medal to the breeder, for his pen of three 20 months old Southdown wethers, bred by himself. The Earl of Radnor receives the first prize of 101, with a gold medal, us the best pigs, and a silver medal to the breeder. for his pen of three 45 weeks and 1 day old Coleshill pigs bred by his Lordship. Among the other successful competitors will be found many names well known in the agricultural world. The Duke of Richmond and Mr. Webb, as usual, take a large share of the prizes in the sheep classes. The Marquis of Exeter, Sir Charles Wake, Bart., Lord Southampton, the Earl of Leicester, Sir George Phil lips, Bart., Lord Portman, Mr. J. S. Burgess, Mr. M. Twitchell, Mr. David Barclay, M.P., Mr. Goodlake, and the Earl of Radnor, have also found favour with the judges in the present exhibition. The following is the official list of awards : AWARD OF PRIZES. N.B.

(69.) Second prize, 5L CLASS XVia—Pigs, of any breed, above 26 and under ' would never forget that duty which they were all called upon to perform —to give to the labourer his hire (Hear, hear.) He thought it was a high compliment to the conduct of the Sussex labourers that they had not a single horse soldier in the county, with the exception of the Brambt. r and Arundel Yeomanry. They owed a deep debt of gratitude to the labouring classes, who toiled day after day in their service, and under went many privations. And why did they do this? Because they well knew that their employers in the county of Sussex never forgot the important maxim of doiug to others as they would wish to be done by. He believed that the labourers of that county were an honest, upright, and independent race. He believed that the institutions which had been established for the reward of agricultural labourers had been of essential benefit to this county, by raising their character, and exciting in their minds a spirit of emulation. It was not to be supposed, when they gave a reward of 51. or 101. to a labourer, that ho looked upon it as a pecuniary recompense for his services. No such thing. They knew that their soldiers who had distinguished themselves in the service of their country, and who had perilled their lives to maintain its pre-eminence, deemed themselves amply rewarded by a riband or a medal ; but, did any one suppose that such a reward was regarded as a com pensation for all the hardships and dangers they had incurred, or the wounds they might have received? No; the gift was gratifying to them, because it showed them that their services were known to and appreciated by their country. So it was with the agricultural labourer. If he gained a premium, he received the money; but he was far more proud of the card recording the circumstance, which he hung up over his cottage chimney-piece ; and, if any person came to inquire the character of his daughters, whom they wished to take into their service, he could point to that card with honest exultation and say, " I gained that reward from such a society for my good con duct as an agricultural labourer, and you will take my daughter into your service because you know she has been well and religiously educated."—(Hear, hear.) He (the Duke of Richmond) was afraid he bad detaieed them too long upon this subject, but he felt deeply in terested in the welfare of the labourers of this country. and no man would be more ready than he was to do any thing to ameliorate their condition.—(Cheers.) The toast was then drank with three times three. The " Health of Lord Edward Howard" was then given, and his Lordship briefly returned thanks. Several other toasts were subsequently proposed, and the chair man retired shortly before eight o'clock. Several songs were sung during the evening by a parts of professional singers from Brighton, and on an inci dental allusion to " curry," in one of the songs, it pro yoked a roar of laughter from the company. MR. DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEI AND THE COLCHESTER CONSTITUENCY. In our last number we noticed a rumour which had been abroad for some days, to the effect that Mr. D. W. Harvey contemplated paying a visit to Colchester, for the purpose of making inquiries into the state of the par liamentary registration : and, in doing so, we took occasion to express our decided opinion that the electors ought, as early as: possible, to be informed of Mr. Har vey's intention, as a portion of tne constituency were unwilling to receive another candidate so long as a hope of obtaining their old favourite remained. A singulsi omission was, however, made by the printer, which gale a meaning to our remarks very different from that we in• tended to convey. The incorrect sentence stands thus— " We do not, however, agree with some individuals who assert that Harvey is th• man for Colchester ; whereas it ought to read, " We do not, however, agree with some individuals who assert that Harvey is the only man for Colchester." By the omission of the word only we were placed in the situation of opponents to Mr. Harvey, when on the contrary, we should probably be found on the side of his warmest supporters were he to offer himself for the representation of Colchester. We have been incr.( as ingly anxious that the Liberal cause should receive no damage from delay, which proved disastrous in 1841 ; that the cry of " Harvey is coming," when there is no probability that he will come, should not mislead the electors by causing them to defer their efforts to procure another man, until it is too late to introduce him with any chance of success. It was this feeling which led us to say last week, what we repeat now, that " Harvey is not the only man for Colchester." However superior his qualifications may be, there are, nevertheless, other gen tlemen, whose political principles are in accordance with those of the Colchester Liberals, who would make hon ourable and effiaient representatives. As the firm friends of the Liberal cause in Colchester, we press upon the constituency the importance of decision and immediate effort. Let there be no dallying ; but promptitude; union, and perseverance ; and there is reason to believe that the result will be complete success. There is every inducement to exertion at the present time ; no Govern ment, whether Whig or Tory, can adopt a non-progres • sive policy ; domestic and foreign affairs both require the aid of discerning and judicious minds ; and it ought to be the concern of every constituency to select men of enlightened judgments, who are determined not to go forward merely, but to go forward in the best possible manner. The Colchester Reformers are bound, we con ceive, to strain every nerve to secure the return of men who are resolved to see with their own eyes, to hear with their own ears, and to do nothing whatever that will not have the direct or indirect tendency to benefit the country at large.—lpswich Express. CANADIAN WOMEN & WEATHER. The Canadian girls ai e most attractive. Brought out young, and mixing largely in society, they are not deeply read, but are exceedingly loveable, and possess an hide scribable charm of manner. Owing probably to the ex treme of heat and cold in Canada, beauty is there les:- durable than in the mother country. Early matured, it speedily fades. The fair Canadians make good use of the interval, and find it abundantly long to play havoc with the other sex. The English officers are particu larly susceptible of their fascinations, and many marry in Canada; as do also a large proportion of the Englist merchants who go over there. The style of dress o these seductive damsels is simple, but tasteful. In wit- ter, of course, they are furred to the eyes, as a protection from the piercing cold, which rivals that of Siberia. Muffed and gauntletted, well packed in bear and buffalo skins, they are driven about in sledges by their male friends, who wear huge fir caps, flapped over the ears. enormous blankets or buffalo coats, jackboots, moose skin mocassins, anti ether contrivances equally inelegant and comfortable. The extreme dryness of the air ren ders the cold much more endurable than might be sup: posed. The sun ,hives brightly, the atmosphere is crisp and exhilarating ; there is rarely much wind. Under these circumstances the thermometer may go down, a. frequently does, to thirty or forty degrees below zero,with out any serious inconvenience or suffering being fel; W hen a gales comes during the cold season, the effect i very different. Mr. Elliot Warburton tells us of a certain Sunday, " when the thermometer was at thirty degrees below zero, and a high wind blew at the same dint The effect in many respects was not unlike that of in tense heat; the sky was very red about the setting sun, and deep blue elsewhere: the earth and river were covered, with a thin haze, and the tin cross and spires and the new snow, shone with unnatural brightness ; dogs went mad from the cold and want of water ; metal exposed to the air blistered the hand, as if it had come out of a fire; no one went out of doors but from neces sity, and those who did, hurried alcng with their fur gloved hands over their faces, as if to guard against an atmosphere infected with the plague; for as the icy wind touched the skin, it scorched it like a blaze. But such a day as this occurs only once in many years." PRICE OF Gor.D.—The premium on gold at Paris is 15 per mill , , which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of :25 52 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 55, it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4304 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10i d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 74 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 it follows that gold is 0.17 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. DARING HOUSE ROBEERY.—Infi/rMatioll of the following daring and ingenious robbery has b een re ceived by the metropolitan police :—On Saturday after noon, about five o'clock, a young man, about seventeen or eighteen years of age, called at the house of Mr. Richardson, No. 7, St. George's-ter race , Gl oucester- . road, Kensington, :and told the servant that he came from Sloane-street to fetch a lady's dress. The servant admitted him into the passage while she went up stairs to tell Mrs. Richardson, when she found there was n o d ress to go, and sh e went down and told the young man so , who said he must have made amistake in the house, an d went away. About nine o'clock the same evening B. M. Kendell, Esq., of No. 27, Adelaide-road, Haverstock-hill, Hampstead, and Mr. Robert M`Kenzie, of No. 150, Queen-street, Glasgow, who were at the house on a visit, missed from the hall, the former a brown great coat, and the litter a Chester field coat, and on a search being gone into, it was found that the hall doo r k e y an d the garden gate key, which were attached together by a string, had been stolen , and on an attempt being made to open the hall door, it was found to be locked, and the key was found in the lock outside. The Rev. Horace Sainsbury Cotton, many years Ordinary of Newgate, and Reader of Christ Church. Newgate-street, died at the age of 72, soon after be had made his will, wherein he appointed Mr. Secondary Potter his sole executor, but who declined to act, and one of the testator's daughters administered as the resi. duary legatee. He had but few worldly goods and pea sesions to dispose of, and these, he said, would he of stil loss importance if divided equally amongst his children His copyhold estate, held of the manor of Colley and Reigate, he his I. , ft to his two sons, and the residue of his effects, including Park Cottage, at Reigate, which he occupied, he leaves to his daughters for their life, they to his son Stapleton. THE CENTRAL PROTECTION SOCIETY. --- At the monthly meeting of the Central Society for the Pro tection of Agriculture and British Industry, held on Tuesday, at 17, Old Bond-street, the question of the repeal of the malt tax was brought under the notice of the committee, when a resolution was adopted, that a meeting of that body should be summoned for the 12th of January next, to take that subject into coo. sideration. MO ." !e sS ISLA NDS. " A gentleman resident on the island _ --- communicated to us facts regardi ng t o 0 1 . q rs. pulation in that and the n e i g hb our i n g I' truly startling. The statement by this gentleman is, the amount of provisions now in the people's possession cannot possibly sustain them for more than two months to come at. the very utmost. Their cro p, he confidently states, will not 'yield seed sufficient to be sown next spring, allowing they use none of it for food at tall. - On the 11th ult., when our informant left Uist, British . cholera and inflammation of the intestines had begun to be epidemic; heknew of upwards of two hundred cases of this, at , that - date, in South Uist alone,.and by accounts 'he has 'since received, this epidemic has been, and still is, increasing fearfully. This, - our in formant says, is -the result of deficient feeding and the food used being-of-unwholesome qualityythe dis eased potato, while any .of that food remained, and quantities of 'small " fish, called in that country " :and which come to did coast at this season, and which the pe o pl e , having literally no other manner of food whatever, have been living upon, and are now suffering in consequence: The entire dependence of the whole population on potato diet is a fact not known adequately in this part of the kingdom, The people are deprived of their only food, and literally have now no food. The ' gentleman who is our informant, and whose name and address we shall be ready to communicate, was asked whether labourers •Wculd' be ' fonrid :to leave those islands and repair to the south - country; where railways are in progress? His answer - was; that three months ago, large squads of able-bodied working men would have undertaken that laboUr gladly ; but that now, in their present famished condition, those very men were altogether unable either to travel or to work at ordinary day labour. Such a state of matters, 'at this period of the season, is very appalling. The statements already conveyed to the public regarding the destitution in the Highlands and Islands have been considered by some to be exaggerated. We have here the most com petent testimony as to the state of faCts. A very im perious and solemn duty is laid upon the whole com munity to extend their sympathy and aid. To this gentleman's house some sixteen or twenty men—not the pauper class—come of a day craving food, not having tasted any food for two whole days, and feel ing in themselves that th e i r fi s h di et was inducing dis ease, they loathed that diet, and had nothing else what ever to look to.—Greenock Advertiser. AN ANECDOTE OF THE QUEEN DOWAGER.--It chanced one evening that our major, Count it.:-ichen bach, stood up to dance a quadrille with the Princess Adelaide of Meiningen. Ills toilet was not well suited to the ball-room ; his boots were heavy, the floor was slippery, and he several times tripped. At last he fairly fell, dragging his partner with him. His right arm was in a sling, and useless, from wounds received at Lutzen, and some short time elapsed before the Princess was raised from her recumbent position by the ladies and gentlemen of the Court, and conducted into an adjoining apartment. With 'rueful countenance and twisting his red mustache from vexation, Count Reichenbach tried to lose himself in the crowd, and to escape the annoyance of being stared at and pointed out as the man who had thrown down the beautiful young princess. It was easy to see that he would rather have stormed a dozen hostile batteries than have made so unlucky a debut in the royal ball-room. In a short quarter of an hour. h iwever, when the fuss caused by the accident hail nen; ly subsided, the princess re-appear d, looking more charming than ever, and sought about until she diAcov,rt d poor Count Reichen bach, who hed got into a corner near the stove. With the most captivating grace, she invited him to return to the dance, saying loud enough for all around to hear, " that she honoured a brave Prussian soldier whose broast was adorned with thy- iron cross, and whose badly wounded arm had not prevented his fighting the fight of liberation at Leipz:e, and ti-at with all her heart she would begin the dance again with him," The count's riumph was compkte; the court prudes and parasites, who a moment .before had looked down upon him from the height of their compassion, now rivalled each other in amiability. With a well-pbased smile the count stroked his great heard. led the princess to the quadrille, lnd danced it in first-rate style. When, in May, 1836, - . . I was pr. sente !, as captain in the Dutch service, to the Princes Adelaide, then Queen of England, at St. :James's Palace, her Majesty perfectly remembered the incident I have here narrated to my readers. To her inquiries after Count Reichenbneh, I unfortunately had to reply that he was long since dead.— Wanderungen eines alien Soldaten. OUTRAGE BY SOLDIERS.--David Oliver and John Jones, privates in the 8 h Regiment, were brought before the county m9gistrates at Rochester, on Monday, on a charge of assault, arising out of the following disgraceful circumstances:—On Friday night, between nine and ten o'clock, the prisoners, having escaped from their quarters at Upnor Castle, after roll call, they removed their num bers from their caps, equipped themselves in military cloaks, and armed with bludgeons, proceeded to the re sidence of Mr. S. Stronghill, farmer, at Frindsbury, where they commenced violently knocking at the front door, to the great alarm of the inmates. Fortunately Mr. Stronghill and his brothers were both at home, and on gong to the door, found the prisoners standing one on each side of the doorway, who immediately demanded food, swearing that they would have some before they left. Mr. S. Stronghill threatened to report them to their commanding officer, notwithsta n di ng which, they persisted in their first demand, and in the most violent language, declared they cared no more for their officer than they did for him. Oliver holding up his bl udgeon in a menacing attitude, s w o re th a t h e wou ld give him something. Ile was, however, overpowered, and the as sistance of the labouring men i n M r . Stronghill's em ploy having been obtained, he was safely lodged:in the station-house at Rochester. Jones escaped and returned to his quarters at Upnor Castle, where he was appre hended next day. Jones was adjudged to pay a penalty. of 305., and Oliver, who was most violent on the occa sion, a penalty double that amount. In default they were both committed to Maidstone Gaol, the former for one month, and the latter for two months. NEW CARRIAGE POE THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.-111r. Rooth, the carriage builder to the London and North-Western Railway Company, has lately constructed a first-class carriage upon a new and improved principle. The carriage is adapted for (he accommodation of twenty-four passengers, with guards and luggage, and measures twenty seven feet in ,ength, by the usual width. It is divided into four )cilites or compartments in one length, containing six tiv6ions each, and runs upon eight wheels. The frame work is constructed in the usual manner, with springs, Sm., but is dividectinto two parts, which, being separate, move on their own centres. The superiority of Mr . Booth's invention over the usual carriage consists in the increased accommodation afforded to passengers, the ,bsence of any oscillation, the lightness of the draught Ind the great facility and safety in rounding curves the carriage has lately made several journeys to London. The cost of construction amounts to about 6001.—Art.s's Birmingham Gazette. THE QUEEN v. RICHARD DUNK. —The special iry, at the instance of the prosecutrix.

Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Bodkin are retained for the pn.sectitrix, who is xpected to be the principal witness on the occasion. rhe defendant will be his own client. on the indictment tor perjury. EXTENT OF CRACOW.—The territory of Cracow extends 21 square miles. The populltion of the city is 43;000, of the territory 146,000. The revenue amounts to two-and-a-quarter millions of Polish florins. INCENDIARY FIRE.—On Monday evening, at about six cv'clock i a fire was discovered on the farming pre mises of *. Greenwood, near Wallingford, Berks (on the borders - of Oxfordshire), and in a very short time three extensive wheat ricks, and some other property of less value, were totally destroyed. There .s no doubt the calamity was the act of an incendiary. Mr. Green wood, we undtritand, is insured. THE COAL TRADE.—The attention of the Govern.. meat having been called to the circumstance of French vessels clearing out from ports in this country with coals, ostensibly for France, which, in fact, were destined for Algeria, whereby her Majesty's .revenue had been defrauded of the export duties, the Commissioners of the Customs have been commanded to instruct their officers....to take bonds, en the shipment of coals in French vessels, for the due landing of the coals in France. The collectors at the various ports will therefore take care that when coals are ship ped in French vesiels, or in vessels belonging to any foreign country with which treatiEs of reciprocity have been concluded, b - md be given in•double the amount of duty payable on the coals, and that the said he n l be ex ecuted by a responsible British resident, unless the par ties shall be disposed to deposit the amount of duty pay able on the exportation of the coals, to be returned on landed at the e f a r ce lac r e f tifi o c r at w e h o ieh fth t e he s y ame may having haveb been een d e u n l duly lIE ROMANCE OF WAR, OR THE HIGHLANDERS IN SrerN.—Notwithstanding, observes the Atlas, all the books that have been written on the wars in Spain and Portugal, there was room for this work, late as it comes. It takes up a new phase , one which has n )i yet been preyed upon at la-ge by noveli4s, and:vvhich pres .nts peculiar advantages in the way of the picturesque and the stir- ring. This phase is plainly indicated in the tit'e-page— The Highlanders in Spain. Ciptain Grant, shyi the Observer, is no novice in the use of the pen, more than he is in the use of the sword. Since the days of " The Subaltern" in Blackwood's Magazine, that first and best effort of Mr. Gleig, there has appeared no such ad mirable book on the same subject as '.tThe Romance of War" by the present writer.

The show of cattle took place in the marning. The general quality of the stock was much superior to that exhibited on former occasions. Among the stock which excited the most attention were some beasts bred by Mr. Gates, of Steyning, and Mr. Coppard, of Hor sham; a heifer, bred by Mr. Gates; a Sussex steer, under three years old, bred by Mr. Marshall, of Hurst Pierpoint; a pen of sheep belonging to Mr. Apperton, which gained the first prize in that class; and a pen of sheep, exhibited as extra stock, bred by Mr. Dennet, of Woodmancote. The dinner was given at the White Horse Tavern. The Duke of Richmond presided, and among the most distinguished guests were Lord Edward Howard, Mr.. C. Goring, M.P., Major Beresford, M.P., Major Sandham, the Earl of March, M.P., and Sir H. Goring. About 100 persons sat down to dinner. After the cloth was withdrawn, the healths of " The Queen" and " The Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family," were given by the chair man, and received with great enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN said, he had now to ask them to drink the health of a nobleman who had for some time resided in that county, whose ancestors had long possessed pro- perty in the district, who had subscribed most liberally to the funds of this association, and who, but for the fatigue he had undergone during the last ten days, would have occupied the chair on this occasion. He begged to give " The Health of the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal." The toast was drunk with three times three, and loud cheering. Lord EDWARD HOWARD, in returning thanks, ex pressed his regret that the Duke of Norfolk was unable to attend this meeting. The visit with which her Ma- jesty and Prince Albe'rt had been graciously pleased to honour his noble father at Arundel Castle had entailed upon him considerable fatigue in making the necessary arrangements for the reception of his Royal visitors, and for paying them the respect due to their rank and station; and it was merely owing to this circumstance that he was prevented from being present on this occasion. The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of the county members, observing that he hoped March intended to do his duty, and if he did not he trusted they would turn him out.—(" Hear, hear," and laughter.) The Earl of MARCH, who wus loudly cheered, said that he hoped, so long as he deserved to be their repre sentative, they would allow him to enjoy that honour ; but, if he failed to keep the bargain he had made with them, the Chairman had very properly advised them to kick him out.—(Laughter.) He (the Earl of March) was quite willing to abide such a test.—(Cheers.) He must say that he considered meetings of this kind were most advantageous, not only to the landlord, to the tenant, and to the labourer, but to the country in gene ral, which in a great measure owed its pre-eminence to them. People might laugh at associations for the im provement of stock and say they were of no use, but he considered that persons who held such opinions were among the greatest idiots that this country could pro duce.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He maintained that one great advantage of these meetings, even if they were attended by no other, was that of bringing landlords and `tenants more closely together, and thereby preserving those links in society which were the mainstay of the British constitution. He pledged himself that, when they were dissatisfied with his conduct, he would make his bow to them and retire ; but he had now only to thank them for the honour they had done him, and to wish them all prosperity and happiness. The Noble CHAIRMAN then read the prizes awarded by the judges, varying from 81. to U., for various de scriptions of stock. The CHAIRMAN then gave "The health of the Borough Members, and the Members for the Rape of Bramber." He regretted to say that Sir C. Burrell, who had come down to attend this meeting, was pre vented from being present by severe indisposition. They could not forget, however, that the Hon. Baronet had for a long period represented the Rape of Bramber, and that he had been most zealous in his endeavours for the improvement of agriculture in this part of the country. —(Hear, hear.) They knew him to be an upright and an honest man.—(Cheers.) He (the Chairman) did not think he could be charged with any political feeling in asking them to drink this toast; but he might be al lowed to say that those Members of Parliament who did their duty by maintaining those principles which they avowed when elected had a strong claim upon their re spect. (The toast was drunk with loud cheering.) Mr. GORING, M.P., returned thanks for his colleague and himself. As he had the pleasure of being per sonally acquainted with but a small number of the gentlemen present, he could not but attribute the kind manner in which they had received his health to the fact that he had not betrayed the con fidence they placed in him when they returned him as their representative.—(Hear, and cheers.) He had broken none of the pledges he gave at the hustings, but ht had endeavoured to the best of his ability to sup. port the interests of the British farmer and labourer.— (Cheers.) He might observe, that the advantage of box feeding was now, he believed, admitted ; and his bailiff had informed him that he (Mr. Goring) 'saved 31. in every 101. by using linseed pudding instead of oil cake. He concluded by proposing " The health of the Noble Chairman."—(Loud cheering.) The Duke of RICHMOND, in acknowledging the toast, said that he had great satisfaction in attending meetings of this description, because he was convinced they had had the effect of producing an essential improvement in the agriculture of the country. When he considered the exertions of the landlords and farmers of this country to improve agriculture, and to raise the condition of their labourers, he thought that, in attending such meetings as this, he was only performing the duty of his station. It was impossible to travel even - a few miles in the country without observing the great exertions made be the farmers to improve their property. He was glad to see that the landowners and occupiers iu this neigh bourhood were well aware of the great advan tages of thorough draining, and he hoped they would act upon the advice he would venture very humbly to give them,—to take advantage of the grant which had re cently been made from the public funds to assist them in carrying out these improvements and that, before long, there would not be an acre of land in the country liable to be damaged by floods. He would also strongly recommend the landowners and tenantry of the county to avail themselves of the improvements which had been made in scientific agriculture. He did not think the agriculturists were open to the charge of bigoted hos tility to all change, though they might entertain some little suspicion and doubt as to the practicability of all the new theories submitted for their consideration. He considered that any new experiments should be tried, in the first instance, by the landowner, and then, if they failed, the landowner alone would be the eufferer, while, if they succeeded, both the tenant and the owner must eventually be benefited ; for he maintained that if his tenant was making a large sum of money he (the Chairman) would certainly get some of it into his own pocket. (" Hear," and a laugh,) They must not mis understand him. He did not think it right that the landowners should screw down their tenantry, and he believed his conduct in that country and elsewhere would relieve him from the suspicion of entertaining such an opinion.—(Hear, hear.) What he meant was that, if these experiments succeeded, the tenant's position would be improved, and benefit would eventually accrue to the landlord. He had ever felt that a prosperous tenantry was one of the greatest boons a landlord could enjoy ; and they might be assured that in promoting the interests of their tenantry they were advancing their own, for he did not think any political economist would maintain that the interests of landlord and tenant could be divided.—(Hear, hear.) They must allow him to add that his exertions, humble and inefficient as he felt them to be, would never be wanting to promote the im provement of agriculture, to secure the welfare of the tenantry, and to ameliorate the condition of the agricul tural labourer —nay, of labourers of all classes.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Successful Candi dates ;" " The Magistrates and County Gentlemen of the western division of Sussex ;" " The Unsuccessful Can didates ;" "The Judges and Stewards ;" and " The Arundel and Bramber Corps of Yeomanry."
