Mr. BURT proposed "The Healths of the Judges." Mr. HOOKER responded, expressing a hope that on another occasion the ploughing would be more satisfactory, and that better judgment would be displayed by the ploughmen. Sir W. BOVILL believed that the remarks of Mr. Hooker would have a good effect on the plough men, some of whom acknowledged that they had ploughed too deep, and he thought it might be worth while for the farmers to call the attention of their men to the subject, so that they might avoid mistakes for the future. (Hear.) There was one important matter to which he wished to call the at tention of all present and of the public generally. Every one admitted the necessity of a good system of education. For some time past a great want had been felt of schools for the sonsof farmers in various parts of the country. The want was so severely felt that it had led to the establishment of middle-class schools, and anything more admirable than these institutions he could not conceive. (Cheers.) A school of that kind had been established at Cranley. It was opened last year with only 30 boarders, but now contained 150, and was so full that there was not a single vacancy. The fact : showed that that system of education was highly estimated. He believed it would be widely extended, and took occasion to men tion it wherever he had the opportunity of meeting the farmers. (Cheers.) He mentioned the insti tution because it was connected with the toast he was about to propose—the members for the division of the county in which they were assembled. He be lieved that his friends were greatly indebted for that school to Mr. Cubitt, many of whose good deeds were performed beyond the light of day—a man who had done more for the cause of education and religion by assisting various institutions than many a one whose name had been prominently put for ward. (Cheers.) He regretted that Mr. Cubitt was unable to attend, and also that Mr. Briscoe, who was also a warm friend of the agricultural in terest, was not present. He begged to propose " The Healths of Mr. Cubitt and Mr. Briscoe."

Box - ILL, in proposing the toast of the even ing—" Success to the Worplesdon Ploughing So ciety"—said he had on former occasions called at tention to the progress that had been made in the parish during the time he had been a resident, and he had witnessed with pleasure the exertions that had been made and the various improvements which had been effected throughout the parish. Several years ago it was suggested that things were in that condition when a little further progress was desir able, and that the Worplesdon Ploughing Associa tion should be established in order that some im provement might be effected in the condition of the agricultural labourers, and that more attention should be turned to the discussion of agricultural subjects. At first the number of members was small, and many persons held aloof because they thought it would not be possible to form and support an in dependent association. Many of the farmers looked on with a considerable degree of distrust ; but as time went on they all became satisfied of the ad vantages which would be conferred by the society both on the employers and the employed, and an opportunity was afforded of giving prizes to the agricultural labourers. (Cheers.) For his own part he had watched with much interest the mode in which the labourers had received the prizes, the in terest with which they had looked forward to the annual meetings of the society, and the anxiety they had manifested to bring their wives and children together on such occasions. He knew of no insti tution which had produced greater good among the vast body of the farmers and labourers through out the parish. He believed that every society which associated the clergy, the gentry, and all the inhabitants of a parish, and brought them into com munication with the labourers, did good not only for one day, but throughout the whole period of the year. He always looked forward with pleasure to the annual gathering of the Worplesdon Association, and was glad to find that the rector and the majo rity of the farmers put aside their engagements in order to enable them to be present. (Cheers.) The farmers, whether large or small, took a great plea sure in associating together at these festivals, and he believed they found that they were attended with advantage as well as pleasure, for they produced a considerable amount of emulation and improve ment. (Cheers.) It might have been that on the pre sent occasion sufficient interest had not been excited to induce the ploughmen to keep up their ploughing, or the nature of the ground might have prevented them from displaying a proper amount of skill in the field. But if he had read aright the expression of the countenance of those who had received the prizes, they would be stimulated to greater exertion on future occasions; and he felt quite satisfied that those who had competed, but had been unsuccessful, would be stimulated by the rewards offered—by the sub stantial advantages derived by the successful compe titors—to improve themselves in the modes of culti vation. (Cheers.) The farmers, he was happy to say, had liberally come forward on the present occasion. There were certainly some who still stood aloof, but hoped the example which had been set them, and the large gathering which had taken place, would show them that the Ploughing Association of Worplesdon was highly appreciated by the farmers and the neigh bourhood at large, and that they would assist it by increased contributions. (Cheers.) There were few landowners in the parish, and the great proprietors in the district were generally unable to be present. He believed that the lauded proprietors who could attend were glad to meet those persons who stood in a different position, and were always willing to discuss and consider the position of the landlords and tenant farmers assembling together, whether in that or any other parish. (Hear, hear.) He himself paid some attention to the reports of the agricultural societies and the various matters which they discussed. He observed that some of the farmers were in favour of long leases, while others preferred annual tenancies. But he believed there was nothing which tended more to promote the interests of the farmers in con nection with the labourer than an inter-community of feeling between the two—that feeling which enabled a master to keep a man for 27 years, two instances of which had occurred in the parish ; and there was another case in which a man had lived in his place for 16 years. (Cheers.) He believed that such circumstances could occur only from there being a deep sympathy existing between the em ployers and the employed, that best bond of all good feeling and fellowship, which he hoped would con tinue to extend throughout the parish, producing many competitors for the prizes for length of service at every meeting of the association. (Cheers.) Such feelings reflected as much credit on the employers as the men, and if they could all boast of retaining servants for long periods - of years Worplesdon would be one of the happiest parishes in England. (Cheers.) There were boys of 16 who had lived with their masters for periods varying from six to four years, setting a good example to others. There was another important matter deserving of notice, and that was the friendship which existed among all classes. He had read leases and covenants and deeds by which a man was made dependent on his landlord ; but he believed there ought to be the same identity of feeling between landlord and tenant —(hear, hear).- —and better than the security of leases was the feeling that each could rely on the other. (Cheers.) Ile believed that every landlord in the country would be glad to have such tenants as Mr. Burt, two of whose servants had carried off prizes for length of service—a tenant on whose honour and position a landlord might safely rely without a lease or document of any kind. (Cheers.) This was a sort of tenure which he should like to see prevail, and he was not sure whether for the last 50 years Mr. Burt and those who preceded him had not gone on without Ile ngl scrap of paper as a security. (Cheer s . ) bee lieved that the interests of both landlords and tenants would be Lost promoted by cu ltivating the good feeling which existed o n the part of Mr. Burt and his landlord, and then they would be able to perform their relative duties without a lease ec as such well as with one. (Cheers.) He was glad to s a large gathering, and i f the association went on in creasing as it had hitherto done, he believed that it would be necessary to erect a large tent for th e a ccommodation of th e visitors. The success of the association was complete, and he invited all pre- The following is the log of the American yacht Alice, 27 tons, which recently arrived at the Isle of Wight, from Boston :-Monday, July 9.- -Cleared from Custom-house, Boston, in ballast, for Isle of Wight, having on the articles Arthur 11.

Sunday, July 29.--Clear day, breeze from the northward. 2 o'clock-Entering channel ; heavy sea, throwing water all over -us ; Recent events in the United States are awaken ing a new and increased interest in this distinguished American citizen. Those who carefully watched his career at the commencement of the great war for the Union clearly saw what was before him as a military man. His campaigns at the West and South-west were plain indices of what might be safely expected of him in the future. Early in the year 1863 his extraordinary talent for combination and strategy became apparent. At that time there were those in Washington, gentlemen devoted to the service of the country and the public press, who were earnest and persistent in their appeals to the Government that he should be called to the front, and kept there, in supreme command. Nothing of the kind was plainer, to those who understood GRANT, than that he was the master spirit of the most successful movements in the Val ley of the Mississippi. The grasp of his control ling mind was felt from Cairo to Vicksburg, from Atlanta to New Orleans. It was a fortunate day for America when he was called to mass the entire force of the country on Richmond. The cry "On to Richmond !" had a significance in it then it had never had before ; and in the mouth of such a man as GRANT it was indeed potential. Our object in this article, however, is not to review the life of this celebrated commander in the field. Its record is before the world, and must pass down to posterity side by side with that which contains some of the greatest names of military history. We speak of him now as a man, as an American citizen, as a living representative of the Republican idea. In order to understand Ulysses Sydney Grant per fectly, we must view him in all these aspects. It should be borne in mind that he has not spent all his active life in the army. It must also be re membered that he sprang directly from the ranks of the working people of America. Born of indus trious parents, who by their own labour had made their way in the world, he was taught in his youth the honour and value of virtuous daily toil. Al though placed at a comparatively early period in the United States Military Academy, at West Point, and sent forward, soon after his graduation as a cadet, to the field of war in Mexico, and to arduous camp duties on the Indian frontiers, his record shows that he never for a moment lost his concern as an American citizen in the affairs of his native country. He studied Mexican interests, not merely to learn how to subjugate them by the sword, but how they might be developed by the plough. He made himself familiar with American frontier developments, not only that he might keep off savage marauders, but that he might open them up to civilisation, commerce, and the arts. Re turning from these scenes of peril and priva tion, he sought the peaceful shades .of private life, voluntarily resigned his position in the army, and engaged in mercantile business. Day by day he mingled with his fellow-citizens. lie studied their institutions, their trades, their laws, their internal improvements. Educated well, a man of reading, a traveller of observation, quick to per ceive and execute, surrounded by friends of means ' and influence, he might, and doubtless would, have risen to some post of civil distinction, had not his imperilled country again called him to the field of battle—to him, at last, the field of honour, that exalted him to the highest military post ever occu pied by any citizen of tl.e United States. But the leading features of the character of GRANT go beyond this. His mind is so constructed that he is capable of being as great in the cabinet as he is in the field. His elements of common sense, firmness, knowledge of men, adaptation of mea sures, perseverance and moral courage, are strong ot an a d m u er s e ef s u o l l n d e ie ss r. in n a e n i y s a ca g re o e o r d . P G- o e i n n e ts ral o G f ra s n u t cc is e.s n s practical business man. He is well versed in na tional affairs. He is intimately acquainted with the wants of the people, for he sprang from among them. lie is a devoted friend of human rights, for he has long known and felt the wrongs of human slavery. That he understands treason the world already knows ; and, as a patriot, having put it down in the field, as a Republican citizen he will keep it down in the forum. There is no man in the United States more en- Orely worthy the confidence of the whole popu lation than Grant. Not because he is a hero ; not, even, because he is a patriot ; but because, being both these, he is a qualified citizen—a man of moral worth, a careful observer of national interests, above the foul influence of party spirit, of tempo *rate habits, industrious, self-reliant, Republican ; in short, a man every way as well fitted to rule in the state in time of peace as he is to command in time of war. Such is Ulysses Sydney Grant. We speak that which we know. We testify that which we have seen. If he should ever visit Europe, as be has been invited to do by both European and American friends, we are confident that all we here says and more too, will be conclusively proved. Among n who appreciate his great merits o n this side the Atlantic, there is a general and increasing desire that he should be the next Pre sident of the United States.—Anglo-American Times. a fternoon Dr. Goss, Sunday Lic CH un cii. —On the Roman Catholic Bishop of Liverpool, laid the founda tion-stone OF TIIE FO UNDATION -STONE OF A CATHO ss lie took occasion to allude to th e ge nerosity of t he Earl of the course of his address Derby, who had allowed them lion-stone of a ne w church at Beetle, near Liverpool. in " to have a piece of land on the most favourable conditions."

Upon the edu cational question the bishop spoke strongly against the abolition of the denominational system, contending that alone education was not any safeguard against crime, and that this could only be attained by religious training, which was best secured under the denominational system. At the same time, ho regarded the conscience clause, as apply ing to thinly scattered populations, as salutary and just. The ceremony was attended by an immense concourse of persons.

CAUTION. Be sure and ask for "NORTON'S PILLS," and do not be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations which have sprung . un 4 n consequence of the success of NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS. No arms will be received without the usual proof marks. Specifications, and drawings of the methods proposed, stating the probable cost per arm, and accompanied by a finished specimen arm, with 20 rounds of suitable ammu nition, should be sent to the "Director of Ordnance, War Office, Pall-mall," on or before the 30th March, 1867. The specifications and specimen arms will be considered by the Ordnance Select Committee and its associate mem bers, who will be selected by the Secretary of State for War, and who will, after firing the 20 preliminary rounds, select and recommend for further trial such of the systems as may appear to them sufficiently promising, rejecting all such as may not be considered to offer sufficient merits to warrant their being included in the competition, the con ditions of which are stated in this advertisement. Each accepted competitor will then be required to furnish for experiment, at Woolwich, six arms in strict conformity to the specimen arm submitted, with 1,000 rounds of am munition per arm, within four months after date of de mand. Each competitor will be required to disclose to the committee the exact nature of the lubrication he may em ploy.

The Secretary of State offers a reward of £l,OOO for the arm which, on combination of all qualities, is considered by the committee to be the best submitted. A second reward of £6OO for the arm which, while at taining a satisfactory degree of excellence in other particu lars, is selected for merit in respect to its breech mechanism. A third reward of £lOO for the best cartridge. The qua lities which will be principally taken into consideration in awarding this prize will be economy of manufacture, power of sustaining rough usage, freedom from deterioration in various climates, and general serviceability. The shooting qualities of the cartridge must be fair; but as they may depend up{ u the rifting °Late arm with which the cartridge is ass&salecl, they will not be so much con sidered as those above-mentioned. It is clearly to be understood that under no circumstances will a competitor be entitled to more than one prize ; but such prize will be irrespective of any reward which may be given to the inventor of the arm finally adopted into the service. Iv. MAGAZINE AND REPEATING ARMS. Magazine and Repeating Arms for Infantry will be re ceived and examined in a manner similar to the Breech loading Rifles. They must not be less in length than 48 inches, including the stock. The limit of weight for these arms is fixed at 911 b. ex clusive of the charges in the magazine. It is indispensable that the arms be made to take a bayonet. The Secretary of Stato offers a reward of 300 for the best Magazine or Repeating Arm produced that fulfils the above conditions ; and in the absence of experience does not at present define the standard of accuracy or other conditions to be fulfilled before such an arm can be adopted. Those Magazine orßepeatingArms, which are accepted for further trial, will be paid for at the rate of £6O each. This sum is to include 1,000 rounds of ammunition per arm. V. The Secretary of State will take care that no ingenious novelty produced in answer to this advertisement shall be adopted into the service without proper acknowledgment, and that the nam e o f th e i ndividua l w ith whom it origi nates shall be recorded in connection with it. if the rifle to which the first prize is awarded is adopted into the service, it will bear the inventor's name.
