M A K It 1 y single, and the other G ..i. . One halt the wand are desolately iupposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a ense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em -;ter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea Jf caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un- Nunprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, , snd broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness 'slid social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set slernent. Honour and justice demand tkat health shouldform ass item the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

NORWICH, JULY 19.—The great event of the agricul tural meeting at Norwich has taken place to-day, amidst circumstan ces more f avoura bl e to th e society than on any former occasions it has had the good fortune to ex perience. The general show of stock and implements was thrown open at an early hour this morning, and the success which has attended the exhibition has been of the most decided and complete character. The society, there•ore, and the friends of agricultural improvement generally, have every reason to be satisfied with the re sult, and the good ciiizens of Norwich and the inhabit ants of the Eastern counties may fairly congratulate themselves upon having made a grand and triumphant demonstration in favour of that earliest and largest de partment of human industry which provides for our first and most immediate wants, and upon which the prospe rity of this district of the country principally rests for support. What struck the observer most forcibly at the outset this morning was the extraordinary number of car riages, flies, gigs, tax-carts, vans, omnibuses, and every form of locomotive machine that obstructed the streets of the city. The hotels were barricaded with the more fashion able description of equipages, and in front of the small inns were collected long rows of more bumble country conveyances, tilted up to economise the space where they stood, and covered with a fine varnish of dust which be trayed their country origin. Never, except perhaps at Epsom, was such a glut of vehicles of all shapes and sizes seen, and it was quite a relief when, as the day advanced and some of them were put in requisition to carry visi tors to the show, there appeared some prospect that Nor wich would be eased from the tremendous accumulation. Moving out towards the show-yard, the preparations made Won. , " the road had evidently assumed a more ex tensive and complete character. The full complement of flags had been raised aloft in every direction, and wherever the eye turned these favourite manifestations of public rejoicing were seen streaming or fluttering ac cording to their different lengths of bunting, in gay va ne ie, of colour, and with really a very laudable atten tion to :ceeic effect. The face of the country, too, duals to the refreshing showers of yesterday, looked extremely well. Trees, hedge rows, and crops, had put ou their greenest and most luxuriant appearance, and the exten sive prospect which the positi el of the show-yard com mands seemed with its smiling plenty to join in the agri cultural rejoicings. A continuous stream of pedestrians, equestrians, and passengers in vehicles poured along the Ip3wich road, which leads to the show. Male and fe male, young and old, rich and poor, the landlord in hie carriage, the rich farmer, good-humoured and well-con ditioned, amidst the ruins of Protection; the yeoman in substantial top-boots or cuinfortable drab gaiters, the brown visaged, rough-handed, and smock-limited peasantry, the needy-looking mechanic and artisan of this once flourishing seat of manufactures—all were moving along in dense masses to the centre of attraction. The half crown charge on a morning admission threw many back upon the drinking and refreshment booths at the entrance of the yard, and it was not till 2 o'clock, when the charge was reduced to Is., that the exhibition received its full accession of visitors. During the entire day the Eastern Counties Railway, throughout all its branches, cease lessly pour e d upon the spot the populati o n o f t h e great district through which it runs ; Yarmouth, ,Ipswich, Cambridgeshire, and Lincolnshire, furnished their quota, and for once the inhabitants of the fens, yielding to the agricultural furor, seemed determined to make a day of it. Entering within the showy and a new scene presents itself. The division between the exhibition of implements and stock is thrown down, and the "unity" of this great farming spectacle is restored. The well-fed short horn, the South-down pan Ling from heat and fat, the pig littered to the eyes in straw, and conveying his sense of comfort in short expressive grunts, are each per mitted to see the array of mechanical ;facilities by which they are slowly and carefully led through a life of indul 'once to the butcher's stall. The philosophic spectator is allowed to see the means and the end of agriculture— the calculating science and ingenuity of man in provid ing for his own support—the well-planned treachery with which he domesticates, feeds, fleeces, and kills the lower animals for his daily appetites, and ever returning wants. There are few exhibitions more de servedly popular, or which are calculated to give greater pleasure than a walk round the pens and stalls of a well filled cattle-show. The cleanliness, the comfort, the well-fed, well-clothed, and well-housed appearance of the poor animals—and their own evident appreciation of the material blessings by which they are surrounded—all these things should satisfy the most rigid Brahmin or the most exacting member of the Humane Society. All these things were abundantly evident in the exhibition to-day, and must have convinced the spectators that, however the peasantry of the eastern counties fare, the brute creation at least are well provided for. From one end of the show to the other, in every compartment, from the powerful horse and the massive bull, down to the shearling ewe and the litter of young piglings—the marks of human care are everywhere visible. A cart load of green food is brought into the yard, and instantly a struggle takes place among the stall-keepers, for the especial behoof of their different charges. Patiently do they watch beside them throughout the boiling heat of a summer's day—listening to the criticisms which their shape provokes; when they lie down to rest, guarding their repose; and when they are up and lively, turning them to every point where their beauty of form may be seen. In the horse and cattle de partment especially there is an inexhaustible fund of amusement to the onlooker in what goes on at each stall. The variety of expression, the outline and beauty of mould in each beast, furnish of themselves a delightful study; their obvious adaptation to the purposes for which they are intended, the contrasts presented by different breeds of the same species, and the endless abundance in which the skill of man and the bounty of nature multiply the varieties of animal beauty—all are brought irresistibly before the mind. Then, the conduct of the crowd of farmers and agriculturists who throng the exhibition is not uninteresting. The prize animals are easily distin guishable by the knots of eager spectators formed in front of their stalls. From the horses, of course, they keep a respectful distance; but the mild looks of the cattle en courage them to greater familiarity, and hands are passed freely along the back and ribs of each fat, good-natured beast, as it nothing would satisfy them but the touch, that the huge forms before them were not idle visions which would collapse or vanish before their eyes in a moment. The sheep and pigs also came in for their share of general attention ; but the great attractions of such an exhibition are necessarily the larger animals, the size and beauty of which present, of course, the most striking subjects of admiration. To leave the general description of the scene within the show-yard, we proceed to coseider the general cha racter of the stock exhibited. The display is upon the whole equal, if not superior, to that of any former meet ing. There never has been an exhibition of the society in which all the classes of stock have come out so strongly, although there may have been occasions on which particular classes have shown greater excellence and been present in larger numbers. In no department was the show of a decidedly inferior character, and in nearly every one the animals were of extraordinary beauty, size, and purity of breed. The following return will illustrate the relative posi tion of the present and former exhibitions:— Year of Meeting. Locality. Entries of Stock 1839 ..• Oxford 249 1840 ..• Cambridge... 352 1841 ... Liverpool ... 319 1842 ... Bristol ... ••• 510 1843 Derby 750 1844 ... Southampton 575 1845 ... Shrewsbury 437 1846 ... Newcastle ... 613 1847 ... Northampton ••• 459 1848 ... York ••• ••• 724 1849 ... Norwich ... ... 624 It is due to the society, to the judges, and to the agri culturists, of the eastern counties, to state that at this exhibition the rage for stock, fattened till they were fit only for the tallow chandlers' melting tubs, has been en tirely extinguished . Overfeeding, with all its painful and disgusting consequences, does not, at least as far as cattle are concerned, exist in this district. The stock exhibited is in excellent condition, and nothing more ; and it would really appear as if there was some prospect that the encouragement of the society would now be permanently given to the production of the best breeds. The eastern counties have in times past been principally a feeding rather than a breecing district, and therefore the exemption of this from the great blemish of former exhibitions is the more cr, ditable to them. To this dis trict, tempted by the vast supplies of turnip and other artificial food, vast quantities of the lean stock of Scot land and England have been drawn; and from this, when in good condition, they are transported in extraordinary quantities by the railway to London and the other great markets of the kingdom. Latterly considerable r fforts have been made to introduce throughout the eastern counties the purest breeds both of sheep and cattle, and a glance at the names of the most successful candidates in the list of prices, which I subjoin, will satisfactorily show that the matter is in good hands. In the breed ing of horses for agricultural purposes'Suffolk stands pre-eminent gthrou g hout England, and it was there fore to be expected that this department of the exhibi tion would be a splendid one. Nor has the expectation been disappointed, a finer collection of these animals was never perhaps seen together, and in roadster stal lions and brood mares the show was also remarkable for its excellence. The display of horses on the whole was not so numerous nor so splendid in its general character as that of York, but for the purposes of an agricultural society the best judges think it superior. The show of dray horses was small and rather inferior. The stallion, which carried off the highest prize in the first class, is really:a magnificent creature, and looked as full of pride as if' he understood the honour that had been conferred upon him, and the admiration be had received through out the day. His great size and length of bone were objected to by some critics wedded to the pudgy charac ter of the Suffolk breed, to which he certainly does not belong, though his owner lives in Norfolk; but it is often by no means amiss, through the medium of awards like this, to remind the breeder th at be ma y carry the best qualities of his stock to exc ess—and that the prin ciple of having the largest amount of power in the smallest bulk may be pushed too far. Turning to cattle—the show of short horns and Devons were both excellent, that of Herefords alone being rather interior. The bull of Elphinstone Tower, Tranent, Scotlami. excited. c y te r Tod, d. universal admiration, and amide; imuly really [PRICE SD. first-rate competitors was facile princeps. His great size, beauty of f orm , an d d oc ili ty, ma d e hi m t h e pr i n cipal object of attraction in the yard, and he took the ni ani pulations of the farmers who pressed around him with such thorough composure, that he won golden opinions from all R ho saw him. In the sheep department of the show there was an unequalled exhibition of South downs, and the shearling ewes in particular w, re, it is the opinion of the best judges, never surpassed. The Leicester and long-wool sheep were also present in con siderable numbers, and the exhibition of them was of a very high character, though in the former a mixture of breeds was suspected in some of the prize stock. In pigs of the large breeds the show did not rank high, but the smaller breeds were better, and Mr. Fish,,r Hobbs, of Boxstead Lodge, near Colchester, exhibited some porkers which, as far as the species can be said to be so, w tn. models of symmetry.

REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE. In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an other; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling value and universal import as must prove, In the fullest sense of the term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated business system, will readily show. POSSESSING L kRGE ESTABLISHMENTS in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our elncentrated purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash, at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-centage upon original cost, and the price Is marked on every garment, in plain gores, from which no deviation is alloy ed. These facts, together with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as have been seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item "Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief price list will testify to some extent : READY MADE.

L. IIYAM, Proprietor. TOURS IN THE HIGHLANDS. As the period is now fast approaching, when weary worn legisla - ors, and, indeed, the whole of our fashion able population, endeavoured to escape from the smoky atmosphere and busy hum of this modern Babylon, either to taste the sweets of rural retirement, or to feel the ex citement and pleasures of a prolonged tour, we may ex pect that a goodly portion will direct their course towards the Scottish Highlands, where is to' be found some of the most magnificent scenery in Europe, in addition to the attraction of having excellent deer sport, grouse shoot ing, fishing, &c. The want, however, of regular con veyances, and the annoyances, to which that want gives rise, often prove to be a great drawback to the pleasures of the tourist, especially if he has to depend for informa tion upon the flimsy, and frequently, unintelligible direc tions, which are supplied by the ordinary travelling guides. It will be gratifying, therefore, to those who destine a visit to the land tamed in song and story, to know that a daily and direct communication by coach and Again (see advertisement) has been established between Glasgow and Inverness, the route chosen being through the very centre of the Highlands, and taking all within its course which the most hopeful and enthusiastic tourist could desire to see. Since the old coaching system ab dicated in favour of the potentate steam, and his com panion the rail, such a mode of travelling has almost be come a matter of history; but those who are not ashamed in these go-a-head days to acknowledge that pleasures were associated with our old stagers will be glad to know they have been revived in a way to suit the tastes of the present age in a country renowned for its magnificent scenery. The route which has been selected from Glas gow is by the Clyde to Dumbarton Castle, through the vale of Leven to Lochlomond, the queen of the Scottish lakes. From thence it proceeds to Tarbet, Benlomond, the hills of Glenorchy, passing the Marquis of Breads!. bane's famed deer forest, through the magnificent wilds of Glencoe, and along the banks of Loch Liunho to Fort William, situated at the fort of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, being 4,350 teet above the level of the sea. Its summit is covered with snow during the whole year. In the vicinity are also to be seen Loch • aber, Lochiel, the Castle of Inverlochy, Fingall's Cave, and the spot where Prince Charlie waited for the gather ing of the clans in 1745, now marked by a monument at the head of Lochshiel. There can be no doubt that a tour through this celebrated country will be associated with many pleasing re c o llections, and will well well repay any trouble and exp9nso which ally be incurred. [ADVERTISEMENT.] - -- A Dangerous L iver Com plaint effectually cured by Holloway's Pills.—Extract of a letter from Mr. W. Rogers, blacksmith, Ravensworth, Hunter River, New South Wales, to Mr. J. H. Heyden, agent for Holloway's Pills and Ointment, at Syd n ey, dated Jan. 17, 1849 :—"Sir,—About eighteen months since, I was attacked with a severe liver complaint, for which I consulted the two medical men of this district; but I derived no benefit, from their treatment, and at last they gave me up without the least hope of recovery. I then commenced tasting Holloway's in valuable Pills, and continued them for about seven weeks, and lam now completely cured.

THE POTATO CROP.—Since ou r last, th e most con trafictory accounts have been received in the city from various parts of this county and the county of Kerry, as to the state of the crop upon which such universal interest is felt. It is very curious that different state ments come from the same place; and that where disease is spoken of as appearingin a locality one day, it is spoken of as having disappeared from it in a day or two after. That disease has appeared in a few fields, there can be no doubt; but it is equally positiv e th at, as yet, the general crop is safe, and in almost all places unusua ll y abundant and thriving. The general impression is, that it is so far advanced that, supposing a blight to set in, the tuber will have been out of the ground before such time as the disease could have reached xt.---Cork Era- miner. A petition has been presented against the return of Baron Rothschild, alleging acts of bribery at the election of 1847, and acts of treating at the last election; also, his asserted disqualification, he not professing " the true faith of a Christian."

The great dinner of the society takes place at four o'clock to-day, but will not be honoured with the pre sence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge who has returned to town. THE COUNCIL DINNER. The Council dinner took place yesterday at six o'clock, in Sc. Andrew's Hall, and was very numerously and in fluentially attended. The Earl of Chichester, (resident of the society, filled the chair ; the Marquis of Down shire, President-elect, the vice-chair ; and among the company present were—the Earl of Lincoln, the Mayor of Norwich, the Duke of Manchester, the Marquis of Douro, the Earl of Orford, the Dean of Norwich, the Bishop of Norwich, the High-Sheriff of Norfolk, the Canon Residentiary, Mr. Burroughs, M.P., Mr. Betts, chairman of the Eastern Counties Railway, Mr. Wood house, M.P., Professor Sedgwick, Dr. Buckland, Vis count Telford, Viscount Hill, Sir John Boileau, the Sheriff of Norwich, the Hon.

Lennox, Colonel Challoner, Mr. Shelley, the Hon. Captain Pelham, Mr. Villebois, Sir T. D. Ackland, M.P., Mr. Ackland, M.P., Colonel Berkeley, M.P., Major Beresford, and Mr. Sturt, M.P. The Hall of St. Andrew's, in which the dinner took place, is one of the buildings upon the antiquity of which the good citizens of Norwich not a little pride themselves. In the slow progress of generations it has been changed to the secular purposes of musical festivals and public meetings, from being the church attached to the Black Friars Monastery, the ruins of which still exist in the neighbourhood. Temporary screens bad been erected to partition off the side aisles, thus transforming it into a spacious banquetting apartment, decorated with paint ings, looking clean and well kept. The dinner itselt, and everything connected with it, was wretched in the ex treme. No charity, desirous to squeeze the utmost far thing from its supporters, would have dared to charge a guinea for such an entertainment; and we believe the feel ing was unanimous among the company, that the con tractor was either the boldest of men, or the Royal Agri cultural Society of England the most screwing and in hospitable association in the country. The cloth havinc , been removed, the usual loyal toasts were given by the Chairman, and enthusiastically re sponded to by the company. Mr. B. Guens then read the list of prizes awarded is the cattle department of:the show-yard, the announce ment of which seemed to give general satisfaction. The CHAIRMAN remarked upon the fair proportion of prizes be unexpected,wonNorfolkbj• an dh breeders,e concludedw h i which by pro p osing the ht osom some of them would health of the successful candidate s in the exhibition of cattle. The Earl of LINCOLN returned thanks, and expressed his great pride and satisfaction at finding so many Nor• folk men included in the list just read. Mr. GIBBS then read the list of prizes in the sheep and pig departments of the show. The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the successful candidates in the classes of sheep and pigs, and called on Mr. Fisher Hobbs to acknowledge the toast. Mr. FISHER Hozias returned thanks, and congratulated himself particularly upon his success in the breeding of Southdown sheep, living as he did in the county of Essex. lie wa s happy e, have the opportunity of expressing the desire generally ft It throughout the eastern counties, which was a corn-growing district, to have the best breeds of sheep; and ho promised to omit no effort to promote the diffusion of a pure stock throughout that district and the country generally. Professor SEDGWICX, on the call of the Chairman, rose and expressed, in a conversational manner, his views o the subject of drainage, particularly with reference to Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, and the northern partsa 0 Norfolk. He recommended his hearers towhgcohdob sea the to t e the coast of Norfolk to watch the e battle was waging there, and to considerwliat ought to be done with reference to the shitting s an ds. ic h He described the v,reat clay bed between a nd Yarmouth; and Norwich having suggested its prob able ge ological origin, and that of the soils in Norfolk generallj ~ viewing their connexio n rw Bedford L. eels, a n d explainin g th e productive of those soils, and the mariner in with those of the ee Lich they were properties u ie rruunded with highlands of c h a lk , he s tated his opinion as to the way in which they had been originally formed in the three counties to which his ob servations related. The Learned Professor was proceed leg with a series of highly scientific and interesting ob .ervations on these subjects, when that after-dinner spirit of impatience, so fatal to the exercise of the re flective faculties, got the better of his audience, and com pelTlehdehciltiolizisuNnii)reophoisseade, which having beeu duly la't;ofessor Sedgwick's health responded to, the proceedings terminated.
