ROYAL ACETICULTUR AL SOCI ETY. LLWES, TUESDAY EVEST,4G.— 'hr (tidiest Sit. , Al of the Royei Agree/Aural S, cis ty writ S. 1:, i; g the present week, in the little toan or Lewes; red tit-se is eery prospect of the occasion proving a highly satis feeetry ore. It is hardly nscessary to reinerk the' the locality is net If coospimeets he ::heals of aerieui-ure, end the situation is such es to render it highly probable that the agriculturists of the summit dig couni tea will concur with ntee:eurs tine the pubtic, in making the meeting a worthy successor of that held lest year at Windsor. Brighton, situated within halt an hour's ride, May be expected to send its full quota of amateurs and pleasure seekers; while the London and Brighton Rail way Company have announced arrangements which will Probably have the effect of attracting a large number of visitors from the metropolis. The picturesque scenery around Lewes forms an ad ventitious feature in the event, but one which will no doubt be appreciated by all who may now see it for the first time. The strucques erected for the reception of the Cattle and i m plements are, us usual, capacious and soutolous in detail. To-day is appointed for the recep tion of stock, and the work is progressing rapidly. Sever a l refreshment booths are erected near the show yard, and to judge from their number and ales, there will be hi lack or accommodation for any imaginable accession of visitors. It is rett&r unfortunate ter the B °eiele that the elections in the district are now in pro gress, end will continne to be so until the show hus terminated. The nomination for the county occurred no later than yesterday, and the election will take place at the latter end of tee wet k. This may operate pre judicially as regards the attendance; but, amidst the wordy contests which are heard at intervals at the dif ferent places of resort between oppuring politicians, the obj.cte of the Royal Agricultural Society uppeet: to form a common and cordial bond of union which Prognosticates well fur the practical results of the future. As to the character of the show, it may be, observed generally that the display of cattle is very excellent. In the Sussex breeds there is, as might hm'e been expected Material for favourable comparison with any pre ce d ing Show; and the breeders in the Lewes neighbourhood have so far justifi e d the selection of Lewes the council and hPheld their own fair fame in a particular department. The site of this year's show being so remote from the sh ort-horned districts, it would have been unreasonable to expect an extraordinary display of short horned acin "le, bat, taking everything into account, there is no ground for disappointment. The aa Pictnent-yard, however, seems to exhibit the concur in praising ost merited p rogress i n t h e pat h o f improvement.

SHOAL OF HERRINGS OFF THE ISLE OF MAN. -OD6 of the most beautiful sights which has been seen for perhaps half a century was witnessed on Tuesday evening (week), at the entrance to the bay of Derbyhaven, Isle of Man. About eight o'clock there was observed an immense bottle-nosed whale, or what is called a " Perkin moor," amusing himself about a mile to the eastward of Fort Derby, on St. Michael's Some of the spectators affirm that he was at least CO feet in length, and when on the surface, for the purpose of respiration, he threw a considerable volume of wator full 40 fee t in height. He gradually approached the bay, eviiently in pursuit of an immense shoal of fish, which were observed on several occasions actually in thousands to burst out of the water at least a couple of feet. Tole continued for up. wards of an hour, until part of the shoal (which prved to be full-grown herrin gs ) ran themselves on the rocks o imme d whoiately under the lighthouse. A. pair of amat eur f i shermen, we the same time plying their occupation with some of p,yal Charlie's "whim gees," not far from the scene of action, were terrified at the sight of the monster fish, and one of them, who is deaf , and who could scarcely hear his companion at the other end of thate boat when s houting at the top of his voice, ant thunder. heard d to t o h l e i 4 Pouting of the whale like refuge from the monster of he l dt eep in a small creek at the P 2 int of Fort Island, where they remained in safety, gazing with astonishment at the terrified shoal of h th er e rin e g e s p, an fi d n t d b in eir tel raentless p shallow water, madeursuer, until his majonce esty o more seaward, he f i l self in.wce lot of gn ventured out and surceeded in bagging la a rti rile herrings.— lsle of Man Paper. 4 ORTING EXTRAORDINARY.— One day la s t w " .k „ n att ,,th_ ) e coachman of J.

COMPOSITION OF A SERMON.—Dr. South, a man of great learning and virtue, relieved himself of his clerical duties one summer, by travelling rather incog lle wet t into a country church in the north of England one Sabbtc h morning, and heard the rector read a sermon. In comir g from the church, the rector suspected him to be a brother f the ministry, and spoke to him, lie received the rector's courtesies, and thanked him for he very edifying sermon he had preached, suggesting that, it must have been the result of a good deal of labour. " Oh, no," said the rector, "we turn off these things rapidly. On Friday afternoon and Saturday mo!ning, I produced th u s discourse " "Is that pus ible, sir?" said Dr. South. "It took me three weeks to write that very sermon." IXPENSE OF THE MONEY ORDER OFFICE.—Y-s -tel day a return to Parliament was published, from which It aPoe,rs tha t t h e expenses o f the mTiey order department of the Post -office for the year ending the 31st of December last Were 69,t9 9 1., and the amount of commission received was 77 ,42:4.

The letters from Nantes regar the crops in the west of France state that there w i ll be a most abundant harvest for barley and mate, and an indifferent one for beans and rye, while that of wheat is still doubtful. The breadth of laud sown was larger than usual, but it suffered in the early part of the season, and is now endangered by the scorching heat. There are, consequently, some persons who do not anticipate a larger yield than in 1851. From the the Medite rranean coast, s outh of F rance, and especially on Vie accounts are scud to he highly satiAnctory. In the neighbourhood of Bt.rdeaux, and the Spanish fronti.r, the lisree4 is considered a good one, but in the Languedoc it is described to be indifferent ; and front Toulouse the statement is, that both the wheat and rye crops are below an average.

Yet even at this moment it may dot be amiss briefly to eonsider what are the main principles involved in the ,existing, contest, and who are the parties by whom this costet.t into be decificd. Tito late ParliaMen•,, from its commencement to its cruse, presented . a Sight unusual in ' our history. Instead of- the two traditional divieions-of . Whig - and Tory, or their. modern -subetitutes elebeeal" and t` Conservative," four distinct sections, etch distin guished by some peculiar tenets of its own, and each obstinately refusing to allow its identity to be merged in that of any other, divided and embarrassed the national councils. These sections have been so admirably de fined by a late anonymous writer, that we make no apolotey for inserting his description at length :__ " There are four kinds of political associations; there are parties, factions, connexions, and cliques. " Party, in the words of Burke, ' is a body of men united for promoting, by their joint endeavours, the' national inte rest upon some particular principle in which they are all agreed.' " A faction is a band of persons leagued together for pro moting, not the national, but their own interest, or for grati fying their own passions. "A connexion is formed by the ties of family, friendship, tradition, and habit. It is exclusive, and consequently small. It has maxims rather than principles, phases rather than opinions, and historical recollections rather than present ac tivity. The strength of a connexion seems generally to be derived entirely from the adhesiveness of its parts. " A clique is a petty agglomeration of pedantry, intole rance, arrogance, and self-conceit. .‘ Each of these forms of association is to be found repre sented in the present House of Commons. We have a Con servative party, a Manchester faction, a Whig connexion, and a Peelite clique. The first, the only party in the House, strong in numbers, but stronger in character, encouraging and supporting an Administration, whose task, naturally dif ficult, is rendered much more so by the insidious attacks of an unprincipled Opposition; the three last divisious, faction, connexion, and clique, hating, despising, and suspecting each the other, but, nevertheless, acting wider the impulse of the only motives that they have, or ever can have, in common— ambition and spite; each hoping to be able to scramble into power over the sh ou ld er o f it s d e t es t e d a lli es , an d t h en to kick them down into the ' void profound of unessential night.' " Let u s proceed to examine the position of these bodies The respectively. Whigs, if only on account of their his toric importance, are naturally entitled to precedence. Who, let us as k , are their leaders? who their supporters? andwhat th e i r political - • principles in this year 1852? On the fi rst h ead our answer is obvious. .

Lord Carlisle, never a vigorous politician, has, of late, devoted himself wholly to philanthropic pursuits. The ancient demagogue and litterateur, once the friend of Burdett and Byron—at a later period ruler of India, and self-• even ed author of the Affghan war—has subsided, as Lord Broughton, into silence and a peerage. Sir George Grey, even if returned for Northumberland, is, from physical infirmity, unlikely to take much part in the active work of opposition. Sir C. Wood, Mr. Labouchere, and the rest, may safely be counted upon as being no more dangerous in attack than they used to be efficient in administration. Only - Lord Grey re mains; and he is removed, by the accident of his posi tion as a hereditary legislator, from the sphere where his energetic animosity might have rendered useful as sistance to his party. Nor is this manifest weakness of the Whig section confined to their chiefs. They have clearly lost the power which once belonged to them in ___ au eminent degree, o f d raw i ng recruits into their ranks.

There is, at this moment, we verily unalloyed satisfaction. The last Parliament could ill believe, no such thing in rerum natura as a young spare the great historian and orator—what would be the Whig. Lord Ebrington was, for a while, the solitary case now that various constituencies have discarded so representative of his party among the rising gene many men of tried qualifications in politi cs and litera- ration, and he, too, has wisely dissolved the cure? There are men of business eno ug h i n th e House connexion, and left himself free to form a more at all times; there are l a wyers mo re th an eno ug h. There promising alliance. In truth, the decease of Whig is an abundance of young and old gentlemen who repre- gery had, for years past, become inevitable, even apart sent little beyond their own rent-r o lls and their family from the personal unpopularity of its principal profes position. The dockyards have their representatives— sors. The movement has ceased from the sheer want of the Marquis of Exeter has his representatives—the rail- an object. The Reform Bill of 1832 was at once the ways have their representatives—Exeter-hall, Smith- accomplishment and the term of its mission. In every Geld-market, Sir Charles Knightley, anything or any- act subsequent to that great social change, Whig leaders body returns Members to represent his or its have been the followers, not the leaders—the tools, not feelings and interests in Parliament, except the the agents.

Whether the change be for the treated with the utmost exactness and precision of better or the worse it is not ours to judge; but that it has knowledge, but let the deliberations of the general body taken place no man can look on England at the present be the deliberations of statesmen, not of mere agents day and doubt.

How, in the other case, the faults degraded the virtues, the acts of a long life but too plainly show. Let the acts speak for themselves. It is necessary only to point out, in answer to the probable inquiry, how men of this temperament should . have their names - associated -with moderation and compromiser the--dif ference-of the -way in which -the-- result was brought about in each. . Washington found himself, against - his wish., raised to the post of umpire and itleramidet the factions and confliets of a nascent nation; and, in a so lemn conecientiousneee, he eieciplined hiinselltathe rub tiniest: moderation that the world ever few. Clay, am bitious of a. pre-eminence which be never Pally intained, pate, strong restraint on his demoting impetuosity of nature, and finding his faculty of adaptation the only means by which he could secure the leadership of a promising party, developed i t i nto th e rarest gen i us f or compromise that the world, perhaps, over saw. His genius carried him a long "ray. It carried him into an intoxicating temporary paradise of thanks and praises; it carried him almost through the stagings of parties into the presidential chair—almost, but not quite. The retribution came a little too quickly. - Withering airs of distrust found their way into his . para dise: the forces of convenience failed before he had cleared the throng of factions ; h e was let drop in the midst of the struggle; and he sank, disappointed and mortified—affording the pathetic spectacle to others of baffled ambition, and himself wit:e xit:lasing the tremendous spectacle of his nation about to reap the whirlwind from the wind that he had sown. His name first interested Europe, and England in parti cular, from his being one of the commissioners who concluded the treaty of Ghent, in December, 1814. The commissioners, British and American, sent home w o rd that they ha " Compromised their difficulties:" the treaty was sign e d on t h e 24th of December; and the useless and mel anc h o l y b att l e of New Orleans was fought in January, from the news not being known in America. This "Compromise of difficulties" was, like all Mr. Clay's other comp rom i ses , a mere postponement of the solution which must one day below:id, and an agreement to a provisional course meanwhile. The os tensible objects of' the war were left on one side; and tl e all-important matter of the boundaries, since so diffi cult to deal with, was to be negotiated. some time or other, by future commissioners. Henry Clay was, though the youngest of his party, manager and head; and should have, therefore, the chief share of the adverse judgment on the transaction ;—a judgment which was unfavourable on both sides the Atlantic, and which would have been more so if England bad not been in haste to declare herself at peace with all the world, and the American Government eager to close, on almost any terms, a war which every citizen hated, and no one could understand. Next Me. Clay effected the compro mise of which, of all his feats in that direction, he was the most proud—except, perhaps, one. In 1820 there war an application from the territory of Missouri to be admitted as a State into the Union. Missouri had slave institutions, which were by this time abolished in all the northern states. Missouri. separated only by a river from free Illinois, might and ought to have been admo nished and encouraged at this conjuncture to lay aside slavery; and deeply has that state since mourned that this was not done. The northern states were strong enough to have insisted on this as a condition of admis sion into the Union; but the persuasive voice of Henry Clay beguiled them into a " Compromise "—the cele brated Missouri Compromise —by which the north lineindefinite north o f which gained nothing and the south gained a solemn prolongationofsla w v' a r s y. not M t r o . exist; and ho pointed Maine slavery out bow would thus be admitted, with her northern freedom into the Union, as li with er slaves. B u t t h e an equivalent f or Missouri ' interdiction of sl avery north ofthe proposed li ne was a warrant for it south of that line of Arktiaasss and Florida, as slaveB ; ta rd the admi ss i o n of course. Mr. Clay, who bad before this soon followed l i e ie so nised matters in his own adopted state of lientcuekwyPrts to prevent the abolition of slavery, w hi ch would have been effected but for him, foresaw the admission of Arkansas and Florida. The politician s of the north were either blind to this result, or hoped that mischief would come of it. They were afraid of present clamour, anti of any question about the Union. Having got the troublesome wind shut up, they hoped that something would prevent its bursting forth as the whirlwind. Its approaching roar, however, reached the ears of the two great leaders as they were on their death beds. Calhoun, who had said, from the day that he first stood up to speak till he could stand no more, that American slavery was as immortal as any other de cree of Providence, announced, before he breathed his last, that the days of slavery were numbered, and Clay, after a final effort to lay the hurricane by one more desperate compromise, saw, through the films which gathered on his ,dying eyes, the flights of victims from the iniquities of his fugitive slave law—the murders of kidnappers—the chains drawn round the courts of justice—and the marshalling of the strong and pure hearted to defy his policy, and establish a "higher law" than his. On his dying ear fell the tramp of this host which he had supposed to be a little band of helpless remonstrants; and, with this, came the more appalling sound—the rumble which warned him of the approaching explosion of his compromises, leaving only the fearful question, whether the Union itself would not be broken up with them. For volcanoes abroad he had a great admiration. The recognition by his country of the independence of the South American republics was his doing. In this, he was unquestionably sincere, earnest, and full of generous sympathy. And so he was with regard to the Greeks, whose cause he embraced with great ardour. If, in both cases, be exaggerated the merits, and painted too fair the prospects of his clients, this was an error on the right side, where human saga city must be expected to fail; and it was one in which be had for comrades the best men in all free countries. P er haps the fairest aspect of his life is that in which we see him the advocate and protector of South American and Greek liberties. ' - THE LATE COLLISION ON THE RIVER.-ATTEMPT TO RAISE THE Ducnicse OF BENT.—For several days past preparations have been going on for raising the Duchess of Kent steamer. The proceedings are conducted by Mr. Griez, the superintendent engineer to the Commercial Steam Navigation Company, by whom the , unfortunate vessel is owned, and he has engaged under him a body of men who are known to be experienced in such undertakings, and known as the Whitstable Divers. The mode adopted for raising, the sunken vessel is that of securing chains to it by means of the diving-bell, the other end of the chains being fastened to barges, which are moored over the spot, at low water ; and as the tide rises, so do the barges, bringing with them the sunken vessel. The first attempt at raising the vessel was made yesterday, and met with some success, it having been raised from the ground and towed towards the south shorn about the distance of its length, when a chain broke, and caused further proceedings to be postponed for a few days.

In spring, when the runners push out, two or three of them are tied up to the stem of the rose. It is well known that the runners of the strawberries soon make their own roots, and in due time these roots are cut away, making the cuts as for a scion, and then they are grafted on the rose stem," without cutting or rearing the runners from the pa rent plant in the ground." They should be preserved very carefully, to lead the sap upwards to the scions, and, treated in this way, the strawberries will vegetate upon the rose tree for some time. EXTRAORDINARY FEROCITY Or A HORSE.-A CRS@ of ferocity in a horse rarely equalled has given rise to law proceedings before the courts of Rouen. On the 24th of November last a farmer, named Blanchard, of Vercliva (Eure), possessed a horse ; and in his presence, and with his consent, a horse-dealer named Lavoipierre sold it to a farmer named Delaisement, of Corny. The next day Blanchard told a young man in his'service to convey the horse to De on laisement. The latter, however, refused to receive it, the ground that he had learnt that it was vicious and gerous. In returning, the horse several times atte f urious throw the young man, and at length, becoming clue' an t ed to r e at the restraint which ' the rider imposed on him, h e bounded g dim h o so o a _ lve h ag is e b m ac a k n . - erect in the air, and succeeded in gettin ic e n fe t d b e r d ea h st im , and lf caught the flesh of his The animal then rushed on him, bit ti l i: tried to trample on him.
