Won by a length. His EXCELLENCY, in rising to respond, was greeted with prolonged applause. He said —My Lord Talbot, my lords and gentlemen, I rise to re turn my most sincere thanks for the honour you have done me in drinking my health, and for the very cordial manner in which the toast connected with my name has been proposed by my noble friend, and responded to by you. I thank you also for coupling it with that which bears a meaning of no unreal or slight significance to all who have the welfare of this country at heart --I mean the words of " Prosperity to Ire land." (Applause.) I should be doubly unworthy— unworthy both of the high office which I have now the honour to hold, and unworthy of the nationa position which I enjoy as one of the largest proprie tors in this country, if there were any one in this assembly or elsewhere to whom those words could convey a deeper import or impart a more thrilling sympathy than they do to myself. (Applause.) My noble friend has alluded in terms of which I can only complain as being too flattering to the relations which I have had the good fortune to hold with those with whom I am connected as a landlord ; but I most honestly say that my experience of Irish tenants and Irish farmers has been such as to make such a course not only an imperative duty, but also a high and unmixed pleasure— (applause) a pleasure with only one drawback—that the shortcomings, if any, have, I think, been on my side. (Cries of " No, no.") But while I thank you for favours already conferred, I must also thank you for the privilege of being here to-night as your guest, and as such it may not be presumptuous in me to congratulate ycu upon the very great success of the show held to-day. There have been reasons during,' the last two years since you met—reasons both social and political— which might seem to indicate a possibility that the farming interests of Ireland might notshow so strong a front as in apparently more favourable years ; but I think a walk through your sllowyard, and a cal culation of the numbers in your entries, will show that such a presumption was totally unfounded, and that your society, after its enforced slumber of two years, has arisen with renewed freshness and vigour to resume its important functions, whether those functions be to extend the improvement and progress of agriculture in your own country, or to compete in friendly rivalry with the titled aristocracy of the herds of the sister kingdom. (Wear.) Gentlemen, with re gard to the show of this morning, I think the show of horses was pre-eminently good. I believe it is undoubtedly the best show of horses that has ever been seen in this country. (Applause.) The short horns also were well represented to-day, especially the yearling heifers, some of which had very great merit. I must not omit also the very great number and variety of implements and machinery ; and I am glad to say that Irish manufactures hold a very pro minent place. (Great applause.) Gentlemen, I think the evidences we have seen, both of the success of your society and of the progress of agriculture which it indicates, are so far satisfactory ; but I think it may be useful to go somewhat more minutely into the ramifications and details through which the sources of wealth well up to the prosperity and ad vantage of nations, before we come to any accurate conclusion as to what the comparative state of the prosperity of Ireland may be at this moment ; and in considering this question we must not omit from our consideration that this country has for two years undergone political disturbances which have ma terially affected the outward prosperity of the country, have locked up its own capital, and diverted that most easily frightened of all visitors, I mean external capital, from taking any footing on our shores. (Applause.) I confess that, while I have a great dislike to anything which seems like taking an extravagant or imaginary view of what may be presumed to be the prosperity of this country, I hold it to be an evidence of equal weakness to take a despondent view of temporary obstructions. (Ap plause.) Therefore, with your permission, and even at the risk of somewhat wearying you by a dry compendium of figures, I will place before your juigment a true and reliable statement of some of those details of internal finance and economy whose reaction operates mast powerfully upon that which more immediately concerns your society —the agricultural wealth of the country. There is, perhaps, no more effectual test of what the comparative state of prosperity of the agricultural labouring classes may be than the number of persons receiving poor-law support during the year. We must acknowledge that, tried by this test, the present sea son has been one of unusual distress for the poor. We find the year ending Feb., 1867, shows the num ber of 78,000 persons receiving poor-law relief, both in-door and out-door ; a greater number than has ever been since 1855, when it was about the same amount ; while the four previous years to 1866 only show an average of 72,000. Nor do we find, as is usual, that as the season advances there is a pro portionate decrease in the numbers, for 1 regret to to say that on the 4th August we still find 63,000 persons receiving poor-law relief. This is not alto gether a pleasing picture, but there is much to be said on the reverse side of it. This, it appears, was . caused by an exceptionally severe winter and an in clement. autumn, and not by permanent causes. We have had, from the same cause, to regret a consider able amount of distress in Connemara, and the Go vernment have taken means to give employment, as far as lay in their power, in some districts, in the hope of enabling the population there to get through their difficulties, till the harvest, which is of good promise, shall have further relieved them. And we have done this with very considerable success, I am happy to say. (Applause.) But I must remind you that if the number of persons receiving poor-law re lief has been in this last year in excess of previous years, yet, as compared with former years—for ex ample with 1852 and 1853 the amount in the pre sent year is not one-half of that in those yen's, and is 40,000 less than in either of the years 154 and 1855. We may, therefore, while acknowledging and regretting a temporary depression, yet come fairly to the conclusion that the position of the agricultural labouring classes is more prosperous uow than it was fourteen or fifteen years ago, namely, in 1852, 1853, 1854, and 1855 ; and we may also confi dently hope that a good harvest may completely ; A Selling Stake of 3 sovs eacb, with 20 added ; two year olds 7st 71b, three 9st, four 9st 101 b, five, six, and aged lOst ; half a mile.

SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, &c. Admiralty, 26th July, 1867. The LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the ADMIRALTY hereby give notice that the arrangements for the ADMIS SION of PERSONS, not already in the Government ser vice, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, as Admiralty Pupils, will, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 nor more than 21 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin ciples and practices thereof. The pupils will bo selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows : Marks. Pure Mathematics, including—Arithmetic, mensu ration, geometry (plane and descriptive), plane trigonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus 2,500 Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics Practical Shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) 2,500 Practical Marine Engineering (for engineer candi dates only) 2,500 French 5OO Elements of Physics and Chytnistry 750 English Grammar and Composition Geography and History No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the com petition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may be selected will bo treated, while attached to the school, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils ; they will receive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at is. 6d. per day for si x days per week for the first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day; and in addition a sub sistence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the school or in the Dockyards. Six months of each year, viz., from November till May, will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining six months to active work and the acquirement of practical knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagement to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is ono shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty not later than the Ist of September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 23d September and three following days.

I will now enter upon some other financial details mit altogether connected with your society, but yet not less vitally important as evidence of a country's wealth. if we begin with the amount of bank stock in the Bank of Ireland, we find the return for half year ending June, 1867, to amount to £18,900,000, being about £170,000 in excess of the whole year's returns of 1866. And we also find that, with the exception of the year 1835, which was £328,000 in excess of the present year, the present year 1867 is higher than any previous year whatever. In another important subject—the deposits in the Post-office savings banks—we find a progressive increase since their first establishment in 1862, the amount for the present year, ending June, being set down at £280,000, or £40,000 more than the whole year's returns of 1866 ; while we find in every succeeding year since 1862 a progressive increase averaging about £35,000 a year. In another still more im portant subject, namely, the amount of deposits in joint-stock banks, we find that the amount of de posits, or rather the actual wealth in the hands of the people of this country, is larger at this moment than it has ever been known to be before. (Hear, hear, and applause.) The return for the half year ending June, 1867, shows £18,900,000, being £200,000 in excess of the whole year's returns for 1866—(applause)—while the year 1866 is in excess of 1865 by £1,600,000 and in excess of 1864 by no less a sum than upwards of £4,000,000. Nor is this the only satisfactory result to be deduced from these returns, for on going back to a succession of years from 1814, when the amount was only £5,500,000, we find the return for the half year ending in 1867, certainly the highest that has ever been made, is £3,000,000 higher than any year antecedent to 1864. (Great applause.) There is another return connected with property that may be worth your notice as certainly evidencing no de crease of means in the country. I mean the amount of property passing under probate and administra tion. We find for the year ending February, 1867, the amount set down as £5,048,500, being £1,000,000 more than the amount in any four pre vious years, and by £450,000 more than in any previous year whatever, the highest previous amount being £4,600,000 in 1858-9. My lords and gentle men, I have gone somewhat fully into these details, because I thought it might be interesting to you to know the precise details of some of these branches of internal finance and economy—(hear)—aud with the exception of a depression downwards in relation to the number of those receiving poor-law relief, we have clear evidence of a larger amount of wealth existing in 1867 than has ever been known in the same form in the country before. (Applause.) If, then, we have this amount of capital in the funds of the country, why do we hear of stagnation of trade, and of a certain slackness in commercial pro ceedings, and of a certain amount of general depres sion ? Well, gentlemen, I think that an amount of capital may be compatible with an indisposition or a mistrust in applying it. (Hear.) We have evi dence of a larger amount in bank stock, in joint stock banks, and in Post-office savings banks than has ever been known in the country before. We have also evidence of an indisposition to apply it in mercantile or speculative projects. I leave the fact in your hands, premising only that I believe that, while the designs of the insane and mischievous men who have disturbed the peace of Ireland for the last two years have been unable to affect the monetary wealth of the country, they have yet been the means of materially locking up the issues of that wealth— (hear, hear)--of diverting it from its natural occu pations—(hear, hear)—and of paralysing to a great , extent the beneficial effect it might have had on the progress and advancement of the country. (Hear.) I will now revert to some subjects more iminediaLly, though perhaps not more vitally, connected with your society. The returns for the present year show no material diffaence as regards the breeding of stock and cultivation, except iu the item of sheep. We find a small decrease of about 60,000 in the amount of land under rotation of crops, making alto gether a decrease of 500,000 acres of land under rota tion of crops, including about 200,000 of green crops, since 1860 ; while we find au increase of cattle to the amount of 500,000, and of sheep to no less an amount than 1,500,000, of which 500,000 are in the present year. I find this decrease since 1863. 'this large increase in cattle, with a decrease of the winter means of feeding them, is a subject which, in the presence of so many more experienced than I am in agricultural economy, I will not ven ture to enter further upon than to say that it is a subject which appears to be worthy of the serious consideration of the practical and skilled members of your society. (Applause.) Connected with this increase in cattle there is one point which is un doubtedly highly satisfactory, namely, the large in crease of exported cattle during the present year as compared with former years. We find the number of cattle exported during last year to be 579,000 as compared with 345,000 in 1863, and, to go further back, to 1850, as compared with 195,000. If the average of the exported cattle be taken at some what less than £l5 per head, which, I am informed by competent judges, is not much over the mark, we shall find the difference in the exported value between this year and 1865 to come really to three millions of money. In flax we have a decrease in the whole of Ireland of 10,000 acres ; but if we , look into the returns we shall find the decrease to be wholly confined to Ulster, while in the rest of Ireland there is a slight increase of about 500 acres. Now I question much whether this decrease in Ulster may not Le a very beneficial one, for it is possible that the cotton famine years may have over stimulated the growth of flax in that province, and that the present decrease is merely a return to a more healthy amount of production—(hear, hear) —and I think that a comparison of the number of acres grown in Ulster last year—namely, 263,000 acres, as compared with the number of acres grown in 1861, before the cotton famine—namely, 147,000 —very much bears out that view of the case. On another highly important subject—important both to the working powers of the farming interest and to the wealth of the whole country—l mean that of emigration, the returns are comparatively wtiveelhyavctosatisfac tory. I say comparatively, for though re gret still the departure of alargenyuemt the ber returnsof our population for Transatlanticregions, of the first six months of the present year show a palpable decrease from the corresponding h c t or e re fi s rs po t nc s l i i x ng m p o e i r i i t o h d s of f last year ; the amount for ths oflast with 1867 being 48,000 persons, as compared 66,000 persons in the corresponding mo year—a decrease of 18,000, or nearly one-third of the whole amount. There is yet another subject which has been much discussed and considered in Ireland m during en o n . past year, which I can h ar dl y omit mean that of railways. Iti be lieve the advantages that abetter system of railway to the 1 traffic would confer on this country are almost in calculable. (Great applause.) I believe that those advantages would be felt down to the pettiest trader and the smallest farmer in the remotest districts, and that a stimulus might then be given to enter prise, and capabilities developed which are now in their infancy. I might instance among others the sea fisheries of the south and west of Ireland, which I believe might be made a source of national profit and employment now nearly thrown away. (Hear.) The consideration which the Government, looking to this matter, have given on this subject, has re sulted in the determination of a committee of in quiry, which it is confidently hoped may produce results highly advantageous in this respect. INly lords and gentlemen, I have already trespassed too long upon your patience, but I think the view we have been able to take both of the financial condi tion of the country and its agricultural progress, has been one of no despondent nature. It is true that this country has been just delivered from one of the most insane and unmeaning attempts at in surrection ever recorded in history. (Hear, hear.) C~`~ ~zf ~ op p E It is equally true that the eons 6 / P= Izt tempt are still pressing heavily - 4/4 , 6 - - *j. enterprise and spirit of all cla naunity; but while we have this izhe jac ground, we have yet much that is hopeful in the future. We have seen that the monetary wealth of the country is undamaged, although its application may have been hindered and delayed. We have also the cheering fact that, notwithstanding the political disturbances of the last two years and the demoralisation which might have been expected from it, the amount of crime, as indicted in the return of indictable offences not summarily diiposed of, and including political offences, is very much les3 this year than it has been in previous years, the total amount of cises for the you. 1866 being 9,0 )0, as co.npared with 9,800 in 1865 and with 10,800 in 1861. What ever may be the misguided feelings of some portions of the population, we cannot but feel that it is highly satisfactory that so large a diminution should have taken place in general critne ; I must pay this just tribute to the Irish people, that, whatever may be the errors of some portions of them, whatever may have been the crimes which have defaced some portions of the Irish calendar, and that fortunately is but a small one, we have been spared anything like the cold-blooded atrocities which have mado Sheffield and some trades' unions hideous in the sight of humanity. (Ilear, hear, and prolonged applause.) I rejoice that Ireland, in the midst of insurrection, of poverty, and of social disturbances, has had no reproach of the nature cast against her. (Applause.) My lords and gentlemen, it would ill become any one to prophesy as to the times before us, but I believe that, though some clouds still hang over the horizon, the storms they engender will pass away harmlessly and illusory, and that the loyalty of the great bulk of the people, and a return of good sense even to some of those who have been misled, will result in that which all but the enemies of Ireland must wish to see, the increased prosperity of its people, the improved development of its re sources, and a return of social confidence and all those advantages which it alone is able to confer. (Applause.) DRAMATIC COPYRIGHT IN AMERICA. (From the New York Times, August 14.) The legal and dramatic professions have been greatly exercised over the question of property in foreign plays, the immediate cause of anxiety being the allegation made in behalf of Mr. Lester Wallack to the effect that Mr. W. J. Florence had violatel his (Wallack's) rights by playing one of Robertson's great London successes, entitled " Caste." The case briefly stated is this—Mr. Wallack purchasel from Mr. Robertson the exclusive right to play " Caste" in New York and Brooklyn, and had in tended to make it one of the features of his fall and winter season. Mr. Florence was in London at the time of its presentation, and was so much pleased with it that he went time and time again to see it, carefully noting its points, business, and phraseology, all of which he subsequently wrote out for the purpose of producing it in this country. Availing himself of an oppor tunity at the Broadway Theatre, made by Mr. Barney Williams, Mr. Florence announced his in tention to play " Caste." Mr. Wallack, through Messrs Win. Stewart, Theo. Moss, and counsel, at tempted to prevent the performance, and the matter has been argued several days before Judge Barnard. Two curious questions arise. In the first place, does Mr. Robertson's sale carry, in the absence of inter national copyright, any authority whatever ? If yes, for what reason did Mr. Robertson associate Artemus Ward's name with his own in the author ship of " Ours ?" In the second place, on the. stand Mr. Florence testifies unequivocally that he wrote out the whole of this play from memory, without the assistance of any notes whatever ; and this fact the plaintiffs see fit to doubt. The first question is purely legal in its aspests; the second is a simple matter of fact. Mozart is said to have written out the whole of one of Mendelssohn's overtures after a single hearing. Mr. Florence has himself been subjected in earlier days to tests quite as difficult as this, and it is within the knowledge of every newspaper conductor that ex pert reporters have time and time again given, with remarkable accuracy, long reports of sermons, poli tical speeches and meetings, written entirely from memory, the facilities for taking notes not having been at their disposal. Judge Barnard seems to have been of the opinion that Mr. Florence was doing no gross injury to the plaintiffs, as he not only permitted him to play " Caste" on Monday last, but to continue it during the week, and an nounce it for repetition this week. Whatever may be the issue of the question before the courts, there can be no doubt of its weighty bearing in favour, sooner or later, of an international copyright law. In the absence of any, the only way to secure con trol of one's play is to adopt the plan of Messrs. Boucicault and Robertson in other instances, and associate the name of a citizen of the United States in the authorship. (Fro:n the New York Tribune, 11V. 14.) The production of " Caste" at the Broadway has led to legal proceedings, which are ended for the present by Jute Barnard's decision in favour of the defendants. The facts in the case are these : —" Caste" is au English comedy, written by Mr. T. W. Robertson. It was first acted on the 6th of last April, at the Prince of Wales Theatre, in Loudon. It made a hit at the outset ; it was subsequently acted many times, and it was gene rally considered to be a good and a successful play. Mr. Robertson, a citizen of London, copyrighted his play under the laws of England, retaining it, how ever, in MS. Except for its public performance— which the law describes, we believe, as limited pub lication—it was never published at all. To protect himself still further against piracy, and to reap, in the United States as well as at home, the rightful reward of his labours, Mr. Robertson availed him self of the opportunity to sell a copy of his manu script to Mr. L. Wallack, the manager of Wallack's Theatre in this city—it being agreed between them that Mr. Wallack should have the exclusive right to represent it in New York and Brooklyn. In the meantime Mr. W. J. Florence, making a visit to London, wherefrom he has just returned, procured a copy of " Caste," which he brought out at the Broad way Theatre, without the author's consent of course, and in direct defiance of his expressed and known desire. Thereupon action was brought by Mr. Lester Wallack to stop the representation of the clear r e e r andty that. piFor From o v u sm e t u i et r h h e aps violation dvoi o en f we t i o s i tsh p right etrof e s o l ry f . b Robertson and Mr. Wallack. In the shameful ab sence of an international copyright law, Mr. Robertson, of course, h as no copyr i ght in his play in this country. None the less, however, has ho rights of authorship which gentlemen are bound to respect. He has done the best he could, not only to protect himself, but to protect the American purchaser of his play in the enjoyment of rights of property fairly and honourably acquired. Mr. Wallack, recognising the law of honour, which is binding upon gentlemen everywhere and at all times, has obtained the play by purchasing it from the author. In what iniinwr Mr. Florence has obtained it his published affidavit shows. He claims to have attended its representation in London, to hive committed it to memory, and sub sequently to have written it out. Upon the probability of that statement there is no need of ( present remark. If literally tru e, it gives Mr. Florence no right to appropriate to his own use and advantage the property of another man. The law on this point, we believe, is yet to be properly settled. The point of justice is perfectly clear. To steal an author's manuscript is a(ltnitl wily wrong. To commit its contents to memory, and then to use it, is to whip the devil round the stump in a very ingenious manner. While we lack an international copyright law, everything that can be done should be done to carry into fullest execution the laws of honour. We know not what legal rights of literary piracy may exist ; but to our minds, the production of " Caste" at the Broadway Theatre under the circumstances that we have stated is a clear case of breach of equity and moral obligation.
