" Happy " and " miserable " are purely relative terms, and, as regards individuals, are to be applied according to the particular standard of happiness or misery which .they adopt. Now it is one of the idiosyncracies of the Protectionists to make scarcity their good, atid plenty their evil. There are many inconveniencies, indeed, in reversing the ordinary meaning of terms employed upon man kind; but if any set of men should insist on calling four two, and two four, you must consent, in dealing with them, to admit that four times four is two. Proceeding on this principle of hunpuring the oddi ties of our whimsical friends, we have no hesitation in admitting that the present conjuncture is one of pro found distress and absolute ruin. ant.

"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s ftegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I ls. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far heyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any tady of respectability to the above factf.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the lair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the meet aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreihing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of novelle headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes.

POUTSMOUT/I, TUURSDAY.—The Admiralty have been employed to-day in inspecting the Excellent gunnery establishment, Captain Chads, C. 8., trans acting official business, inspecting the defective machinery of the Victoria and Albert, &c. A number of rope-makers and riggers'-labourers are to be dis charged. The Board entertained all the heads of the local departments and a few friends at the George Hotel this evening, which may be considered the close of their onerous labours as official visitants to the port for the present year. The Arrogant steam .frigate, Captain Fitzroy, came out of the basin this morning to finish her refit along side the Blake hulk. The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Schom berg, was hauled down the harbour to the Maidstone coaling-hulk, to take in her stock this morning. It is reported she will take the place of the Inflexible on the East India station. Wind—W.S.W., light airs, and cloudy weather. THE MEDITERRANEAN. Extract of a letter dated the 22d inst :—" The Pasha of Egypt's yacht Sharkie left under steam on the 20th, with a strong breeze from the N.W. During her stay here numerous were the visitors, who expressed themselves much satisfied with the kind reception and courteous attention they received from her captain and officers. Mehemet Ali and his son Ibrahim are no more, and it is very doubtful if the pre sent Pasha of Egypt will ever use her as a yacht. Her Majesty's steamer Spitfire arrived on the 18th, having been relieved by the Locust. All was quiet at Naples, Palermo, and Messina. The steam-frigate Terrible, Captain Ramsay, returned on the 20th from taking a survey of Graham's shoal, the least water on which was found to be thirty-two fathoms. Six miles to the eastward of the above mentioned another shoal had been discovered with eighteen fathoms on it. Her Majesty's steamer Growler, Commander Stod dart, arrived early yesterday morning, having on board the two sons of the Emperor of Morocco and their suite, amounting to eighty-five persons, amongst whom are two very ancient female nurses to take care of the infant Royal pilgrims (aged twenty five and twenty years), who were saluted shortly after anchoring with twenty-•one guns from each ship of the squadron, and manned yards. Soon after wards the Commander-in-Chief, accompanied by the Admiral-Superintendent and the Captains of the fleet, waited on their Royal Highnesses, who with their suite live under a tent rigged up for them on the poop of the vessel. The Growler has on board ten Arab horses intended as presents to the various Sheks to whom the Princes in their pilgrimage to and from Mecca may wish to present them. The Growler proceeds to-morrow to Alexandria with her royal freight. The Oberon arid Spitfire steamers, under the orders of Captain 'Sir James Stirling, of the Howe, 120, left yesterday evening to search for a rock said to be situate between 90 and 100 miles to the eastward of Mvata. Some months back an iron steamer from the eastward put into Malta, and was docked, she having reported striking on the said rock, and had two orr three sheets stove in. Sir James has with him a lieutenant and the master of the Howe, and upwards• of twenty young gentlemen belonging to different ships. It is to be hoped that the search will be a successful one ; the rock has been talked of for the last thirty years. The surveying vessels have not been able to find it, and there are many who doubt its existence. On the return of the Spitfire it is said her crew will be turned over to the Volcano, to convey that vessel to England.

A further gain rumoured re of o c ffi or e p e s r is lately on duty at the main guard-house, who was arrested for not reporting the salute to the garrison by the Russian frigate Pallas, on Sunday, was rele. , ased on Wednesday ; the Lieut.- Governor having taken a lenient view of his offence, owing to his inexperien(m. ROYAL MA MINE ARTILLERY. This corps was also inppected this morning by the Lords of the Admiralty. " The good man struggling with the storms of fate, And greatly falling with a falling state," is nothing to the melancholy spectacle of a Protec tionist battling with plenty in all its hideous forms; for, not merely in the increase of the necessaries and conveniences of life, but in every imaginable form of cheapness and abundance, this multitudinous foe is perpetually starting forth from places where it was least exp e ct e d. Indeed there is no hope fqr the Country Party ; the Philistines are upon them ; abundanc e h as p ene t r ated into their very tents ; in front, rear, and flank, a horrid prosperity assails them. To us, who are habituated to the ordi nary phraseology which 'calls abundance a good and scarcity -an evil, it is not .a little. entertaining to find ,a Protectionist contemporav orsiplaining, in .the bit terest terms, of theedieastrOa consequences of free. trade, which has produce& he says, not only " an enormous increase of imports, but a plethora of bullion in the Bank, and an unnatural height of the Three per Cents." We remember a caricature of Gilray's, in which John Bull is exhibited in the act of opening a salt-box, and, aghast with consternation at seeing Pitt starting out of it with a tax paper, he ejaculates, " What here too ! " Now, plenty creates the same feeling of repugnance and disgust in the mind of the Protectionist which taxation does in that of an ordi• nary mortal. We are not, therefore, surprised to find these gentlemen exclaiming with horror, at seeing the weekly increase of bullion in the Bank, " What, here too ! " They had always counted on a deficiency or "drain" of gold as their little Zoar, to which they might retreat in their last necessity. But now, when the tremendous hour of abundance has arrived, and they are driven from argument to argument by its advance, they find even their city of refuge occupied by the enemy. They had always comforted themselves with saying—" Never mind if imports do increase—we shall at least be compensated by a scarcity of gold." But, astounding fact ! imports have enormously in creased, and the stock of gold has been not diminishing, but steadily augmenting. A result natural enough, however, and perfectly intelligi▪ ble to all who are not, like the Protectionist writers, utterly ignorant of the first principles of commerce. The truth is, the philosophers of t? - e Country Party are dragging out a miserable existence on the exploded fallacies and refuted errors of a century back. We have been occupied lately in the dreary task of endea vour i ng t o enlighten them on the subject of the balance of trade. The village schoolmaster's is no doubt a weary employment, but it is not the less necessary so long as there are dull boys who will never learn that twice two makes four. We too must stick to our toilsome business whilst we con• tinue to find men so ignorant and so obtuse as to deny that a trade must be necessarily ruinous which does not always return a much larger value in the shape of imports than it sends out in exports. " Wh a t," say they, "export fifty millions and import n i ne t y millions ! You must have a national bankruptcy." It is unnecessary to dwell any longer on the argument that, if the balance of trade were not "against" us, there could be no exportation at all, because it would be worth no one's while to export. But we may al lege the case of America (as obvious facts are more suited to the capacity of our scholars than logical reasoning), to show them that a country may have had for a number of years a great preponderance of imports over exports, and yet not be entirely ruined. The errors of these writers, in this as in other cases, arise from a want of apprehension of some most simple truths with which every well-informed school boy is now familiar. They have never divested themselves of the old fallacy that wealth consists in hard money. It is nothing to them to get a comfort able coat if it has not gilt buttons on it. If they could once learn that it is labour, and labour only, that ultimately constitutes wealth, we should be saved many dull speeches and duller pamphlets. Taking this simple truth for our guide, the effects of an extensive importation upon the industry of the country will be obvious. If we exchange goods which are worth 1,0001. for goods which are worth 2,0001. when they are brought back to our markets, what does the difference of price mean but this—that, in exchange for one hour of labour, we have got that which it would have cost us two hours or more to make ourselves ? Now suppose (quod Dii aver runcent) that the sages of Protectionism had the power, as they have the wish, to exclude all importa tion—then, in order to obtain the same quantity of commodities which we at present receive from abroad, we should require at least twice the quantity of labour to be expended on them—i.e., the people of this coun try would have to do twice as much work in order to get an equal amount of wealth. Here, then, is the first benefit of importation—it sets free an enormous quantity of labour which would otherwise have been unprofitably wasted, and admits of its being devoted to employments which will in like manner purchase the produce of a larger amount of labour than has been expended. And this would be true whatever were the nature of the imports —so long as these are of greater value than the exports, we have economised by the exchange so many hours of labour. The least advan tageous case would be if the imports were of such a character as to add nothing to the stock from which labourers are supported —i. e., if they were articles of unproductive consumption. But there is another class of imports which not only economises labour, but increases the capital stock from which the labourers are maintained. And it is this class of im ports, almost exclusively, which Free-trade has opened to us. A Protectionist contemporary very simply exclaims—" We are richer, doubtless, through this large accumulation of commodities ; but has this import provided maintenance and support to the popu lation ?" Now, what is the meaning of accumulation of commodities ? Where have they been heaped up, and where are they kept ? Somebody must have benefited by them ; or do the Protectionists imagine that there is some great pit in Manchester into which they are thrown, without being ever paid for or consumed ? But look at the items of our 90 millions of imports—and then see whether they can have merely accumulated, and whether they have not contributed to the maintenance and support of the population. First, we have 32,500,0001. of articles of consumption for the year 1848. Does anybody pre tend that the highest protective duties could have made this country produce, in the year 1848, 32,500,000/. of consumable articles more than it did ? If not, then here you have a clear addition of 32,500,0001. to the stock by which labour is main tained; and, that there may be no doubt that additional labour actually was maint a i ne d by thi s stock, we have this other item of imp o rts—viz., 48,400,0001. of raw materials to be worked up by that additional labour, and to make the cas e com plete, we have a large i ncrease of imports this year, which is the payment for the increased production of last year , and, which will in its turn maintain a larger number of labou rers next year. Such is the simple and beneficial pr ocess b y wh i ch an unrestricted commerce provi▪ des for the necessities of a growing population. Can there be folly more gross than to assert, in the teeth of su c h f acts, that a large importation is detrimental to home industry ? But the benefits of a just and sound commercial system are as multiform as are the evils of an erroneous one. The importation of arti c l es of con sumption not only directly increases the mea ns of maintaining labourers , b ut, b y diminishin g th e cost of production, it also lowers the p r i ce i n the home market of all articles which the consumer requires ; so that, with the same amou n t o f what is called the " effective desire of accumulation," each man can save more than h e otherwis e could, and a much larger capital is amassed for the maintenance of future industry. And, moreover, the abundance of support for labourers, produced by a large impor tation of consumable articles, opens a great many fields of industry, which would otherwise have been closed—because, when the food of the l a b ourer is cheap, it is worth while to em p lo y him in many trades which, when food is dear, would not be remu nerative. This is no doubt the true account o f th e large increase in the importation of raw silk. A low price of provisions enables us to weave silk at such a price as to compete with the foreigner, which we could never do while the food of the labourer was dear. These are but a tithe of the points of view in which a large import trade may be shown to be among the chief promoters of domestic industry. The foolish attempt to create a feeling against it is a sign either of interested bli▪ ndness, or of hopless stupidity. TUES.—The c omplaints often made respecting the small encouragement given to literatur e in this country are to a great extent founded on truth, although. it may, we believe, at the same time be said that, with the exception of ribands, titles, and official station, the literary 'men of England are not behind their brethren in general advantage of position. The fact is that the best patron, in the long run, is the public. No courtly or ministerial favour could be half so productive to a deserving suitor as the impar tial discernment of Paternoster-row. Nor is this otherwise than as it should be. Such remunerations and acknowledgments are infinitely more to the taste of a man of letters than the gifts of patronage, how ever lavish or however graciously bestowed. Still, there do occur cases in 'which the due hire of the la bourer is not forthcoming. Of these the most conspi cuous is that in which the subject selected by the writer for especial study is less popular than useful—more cal culated, in short, to benefit posterity.and mankind than to attract the notice and the tribute of an existing generation. That such an author should be recom pensed for his trials by some national acknowledg ment, is what no one would deny. In other cases, either the misfortunes to which all are liable, or the calamities peculiarly incidental to the pursuits in question, may have induced privations and distress. It is not every author, who, like Prescott, can write when he is blind, or who, like Walter Scott, can dauntlessly make head against overwhelming obliga tions. In such instances there appears a manifest propriety in some public acknowledgment of public-ser vices ; but for 611Cii occasions the Civil List is the only resource beyond the tardy justice or capricious gene rosity of individuals. It is clear, however, that in proportion as this fund is circumscribed and burdened should the assignments upon it be judicious` and impartial. Our readers are well aware that literature is not eiclu= sively privileged in its prescriptive demands upon this store. Services of all kinds, scientific, commercial, philanthropic, military, and philosophical, are regis tered and rewarded in the pension list, but such embarrassments should only induce a greater caution in proportioning the liquidation of claims. We do not of course overlook the peculiar character of the fund ; but whatever may be the idea theoretically attached to the bounty of Royalty, it is commonly understood among the people of this country that such pensions are adjudged, like other offices and appointments, upon the responsible advice of the Minister, and they are accord ingly held to betoken the appreciation which has been set upon the services of the candidate by com petent and impartial Judges. In this view, therefore, they fall legitimately under the scrutiny of the public, and to this scrutiny we now submit a case which has been recently brought under our observa tion. Mr. Keightley will be known to most of our readers as the popular and successful author of many elementary works. He has given an attractive and serviceable form to the histories of Greece, Rome, Italy, England, and India; he has condensed and simplified the most familiar of the ancient mytholo s gies, and has constructed some easy editions of the classical writers in greatest request. We do not pretend to ascribe such publications, to the highest order of intellect, but it would be very erroneous to suppose that no scholarship or aptitude is required for the successful compilation of rudimentary treatises. In point of fact, the performance of such tasks de mands the hand of a master, and if the subject can not always command such ability it is because the recompense seldom bears any adequate proportion to the toil. Mr. Keightley, however, is shown to have succeeded in his attempts by the reception which was given to his series of publications. Many of them have reached their fifth or sixth. edition ; and their general employment in the junior classes of well conducted schools is a sufficient testimony to the author's services in the all-important cause of educa tion. Under these circumstances, and with the ad ditional claims of advancing years and unexpected misfortunes, Mr. Keightley preferred his suit to the Minister, and his representations were seconded by a due proportion of that personal influence, without which, in this free and enlightened country, no claims are permitted to pass current. The result was a proffer of 801. per annum—a stipend so wholly un equal to his necessities, and, as it was conceived, so disproportioned to his services, that he resolved on declining it. Without touching on the prudence of this determination, we are prepared to admit that a case of injustice is fairly to be made out by _ the only test practically applicable to such questions a comparison of the treatment experienced by others. It is an invidious argument , to be driven to, nor have we any wish in advocating one cause to depreciate another; but, surely, if Lady Morgan's literary claims on the consideration of the Govern ment are justly represented by an annuity of 3001. per annum, Mr. Keightley's could not have been adequately acknowledged by one of 801. We do not pretend to strike any balance of intellectual merit between the parties, but if the services respectively rendered to the country by each are carefully weighed—and such is surely a proper method of forming an estimate—it seems to us absolutely impossible that the decision should not be very peremptorily in favour of Mr. Keightley. His works have been numerous and on the most useful subjects. They have established their own reputation and footing in the best schools, and one of them, we be. lieve, was undertaken upon the recommendation o the late Dr. Arnold, who judged that Mr. Keightley was the writer best calculated to convey information on an historical subject very little known. Nearly 100,000 copies of these rudimentary works have been published in this country alone, and they have been largely circulated by reprints in America and translations on the continent. It may naturally be asked why, with such a demand for his productions, Mr. Keightley should have been compelled to solicit the extraordinary consideration of Government; but we are informed that the explanation of this circumstance involves no confession beyond that of misfortune. So much, indeed, is evident on the first aspect of the case; for if Mr. Keightley had been in any way disqualified for the receipt of the Royal bounty, his claims of course could neither have been recommended by his friends nor even thus partially recognised by the Minister. It is not a pleasant necessity to a man of letters to stoop to any solicitation at all, and still less is it agreeable to substitute the importunity of a public protest for the privacy of personal representations. But Mr. Keightley's duties are, unfortunately, not limited by considerations for his own maintenance in impending poverty and advancing age. He has a large and a helpless family, and is further distressed by those embarrassing obligations which multiply themselves with such terrible rapidity after the first moments of misfortune. It is upon these considera tions that he relies for the promotion of claims, of themselves justly entitled to prompt and favourable notice. He conceives that he is honourably qualified by his past services for the receipt of that recompense which prescription and example have combined to assure to all who deserve it, and be feels besides, not unnaturally, that the pressure or undeserved calami ties should be taken to add something to the urgency of his claims. THE ARMY ; —A detachment of the 833 Foot ar rived at Bombay on the 26th of Juno, in the ship Ursula. The detachment consists of 1 captain, 2 subalterns, 3 sergeants, 1 drumnier, 3 corporals, 64 privates, .8 women, and 14 children; total, '96. The detachment immedi ately proceeded to the head-quarters at Poonah. Two other detachments of the same regiments have also ar rived at Bombay in the Earl of Balcarras and Mermaid. The detachment in the former vessel consisted of 1 lieu• tenant, 1 ensign, 1 assistant-surgeon, 3 sergeints,- 1 drummer, 79 rank and file, 8 women and 8 children; total, 94; and in the Mermaid, 1 field officer, 1 captain, 1 lieutenant, 1 ensign, 1 assistant-surgeon, 7 sergeants, 3 drummers, 174 rank and file, 19 women, and 18 chil dren; total, 226. A detachment of the 64th arrived in the Earl of Balcarras with the above, consisting of .1 field officer, 2 captains, 7 subaltern; 12 sergeants, 2, drummers, 242 rank, and file, 3Q women, and 44 children; total, 340; all of which have joined the head quarters. The death of Albert Gallatin, in the 89th year of his age, is announced in the last accounts from New York. He was a native of Geneva, Switzerland. He emigrated to the, United States in 1781, repaired to Maine, and was a volunteer in the American army. For a short time he taught French in the Harvard Univer sity. He removed to Virginia, engaged in business, acquired property, and was eventually settled in Con gress. _ _ . RAILWAY PARCELS.—One of the longest answers ever lodged in Chancery since the remarkable case of "Small v. Attwood," has just been filed, in answer to a bill of great length filed by a leading railway company against a carrier in Blackfriars, who had brought actions against the company to recover for lost parcels, and to try the validity of the charges made to the extent of about 2001. The answer occupied seventy-three skins of parchment of the largest size. EXCURSION TRAINS.—The railway company con tinue their cheap Sunday excursion trains from London. The number of persons who availed themselves of this great convenience on Sunday was 1.300. They were brought in two trains, one of 24, the other of 19 car riages. Of excurtionists from Brighton the numbers were—to Hassock's ate 112; to Burgess-hill, 36; and to Hayward's Heath, -g 43. The weather was delightfully fine during the whole day. On Monday .from 150 to 00 availed themselves of the exc ursion tickets issued' fur Pevensey and Hertsmo nceux Castles. It is in contemplation, we hear , to have an excursion train shortly, probably the 10th or 11th September, from Brighton to Portsmouth, thereby giving the opportunity of visiting the Isle of Wight.—Brighton Guardian. CULTURE. PENRITII, THURSDAY MORNING.—The anniversary of the Cumberland and Westmoreland Agricultural So ciety was celebrated here last evening. After amost excellent show of agricultural stock, produce, and implements, Lord Brougham presided at the dinner, which took place in a marquee erected in the immediate vicinity of the Crown Hotel. Covers were laid for 350, among whom we observed the Earl of Lons dale, patron of the society and Lord-Lieutenant of the county, Lord Andover, the High-Sheriff for Cumberland, Mr. J. P. Senhouse, vice-president, Mr. Marshall, M.P., the Hon. Colonel Lowther, M,P., Mr. H. Lowther, M.P., the Hon. C. H. Howard, M.P., Mr. E. Stanley, M.P., Mr. W. N. Hodgson, M.P., and many other gentleman of local influence. In giving the first toast the Noble and Learned CHAIRMAN said, it was quite unnecessary to preface such a proposal with any observations for the purpose of re commending it; but he could not avoid stating the infinite gratification he had derived from seeing that her Majesty, on her late visit to the sister kingdom of Ireland, had been recived with such unanimous and un divided sentiments of loyal a ff ection—(Cheers)—that not one single word had been mentioned either of Repeal or :'any other subject which could divide the people of that very loyal part of the Queen's dominions. —(Cheers.) The Irish were a most amiable, a most warm-hearted people. Their habit was to give way to impulse; but in this case, *pulse had been consistent with principle and reason," Which made it much more respectable. He remembered their impulse in 1821, when the Queen's royal uncle went over, was to carry him on shore upon their backs and to subscribe a palace fer him. He was glad they did not practise such foolery now; he was glad on their own account, because it made their loyal and respectful demeanour towards her Majesty more valuable in his eyes, and he had no doubt in hers, for her Majesty was a person of acute mind, and she was none the worse, for she never would have got a palace if they had subscribed.—(A. laugh.) He inquired after wards, and found there never had been, a. farthing sub scribed for a palace to George IV . — (A laugh.) It was gratifying to find that all faction and all wrongheaded . notions were put down, and that her Majesty was re ceived as she would be in every part of her dominicini, with the respectful loyalty of faithful subjects, and with the gratitude which rational men owed to a Sovereign who upon all occasions acted 'on the true principles of our Constitution, and whose private life was as bright an example as her public life was constitutional. The toast was received with all the honours. The health of " His Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," followed, amidst much cheering. Lord BROUGHAM, in proposing " Our Gallant De fenders in the Army and Navy," observed that there was no person out of the Society of Friends, and not many in that respectable and excellent body, who had a greater horror of war than he had. He held it in absolute, utter, and irreconcilable abhorrence.—(Cheers.) He regarded it as the greatest of all evils; but, unfortu nately, as men were constituted, it was a necessary evil. They could not help it. It was not necessary that there should be war; but as long as there was war, it was ab solutely necessary that there should be the means of self . -defence.—(Cheeri.) There were two ways of pre• venting war—one by preaching in favour of peace, in great meetings as they were called in this country, or congresses as they were termed by foreigners.—(A laugh.) He had the greatest respect for those meetings, and for the gentlemen who there displayed their love of peace. Perhaps he should have more respect for some of them if they had not displayed their love of war at other meetings in London; but probably they had been con verted on their way across the English Channel. His notion of preserving peace was to be prepared to defend ourselves in war.—(Loud cheers.) While man was man they could not settle their disputes by arbitra tion. No doubt grave questions were often settled by arbitration at law ; but there, parties were bound to submit. Suppose the doctrine were applied to nations, and instead of defending themselves by gallant officers, brave soldiers, great admirals, and captains with ex cellent ships, they had to rely on arbitration, this would happen—an arbitrator would be appoined between us and France, he might decide against France, and then France would go to war with us—appealing to arms against the award of the arbitrator.—(Cheers.) Charles Fox had justly said that no war was worth one-hun dredth part of the cost, even if successful ; its only de fence was that it might be absolutely necessary in de fence of national honour ; but how would he have looked if he had lived to hear it seriously proposed that armies should be disbanded, navies broken up, ships placed in ordinary, the Admiralty and Horse Guards abolished, and everything left to arbitratif6n?—(Cheers.) He had been invited to attend the Congress now sitting in Paris, and he now gave his answer to the invita tion. As long as we had a gallant :army and an invin cible navy there was no great risk of any nation being rash enough to attack us, and that was a very good security for peace.—(Cheers.) Colonel LOWTHER, for the army, and Captain WARD LAW, for the navy, returned thanks. Lord BROUGHAM then, in a highly complimentary speech, proposed the health of the Earl of Lonsdale pa tron of the society and Lord-Lieutenant of the county. Tho Earl of LONSDALE returned thanks, drawing a favourable contrast between the state of farming now and what it was 30 years ago, indicating the many im provements which had been effected, and stating that he himself had laid down a line of deep draining extending 300 miles. His Lordship was much cheered in the course of his speech. Lord BROUGHAM then proposed, " The Health of the High Sheriffs of the two Counties." The High Sheriff of Westmoreland was not present, but Mr. Hudleston, the High-Sheriff for Cumberland, was, and they all knew and respected him as a neighbour and a country gentleman. Although ho hoped he should not have to exercise his functions in respect to any of them—(A laugh)—lie had no doubt, if required to do so, he would execute his office with great mildness and discre tion.— (Much laughter.) Mr. HUDLESTON, in returning thanks, observed that he had not only duties to perform connected with the execution of the law in extreme cases, as had been hinted by his Noble Friend; his functions were also brought into play when county elections took place, and, as his Noble Friend had made them merry at his expense, he would be even with him. At one of their former agricultural meetings in that town an incident occurred which would no doubt be in the recollection of many present. During the exhibition of stock two boars which had been placed in adjoining pens broke down the rail between them and attacked e.,ch other most ferociously. The one came from Lowther, and the other was said to have come from Brougham.—(Roars of laughter.) Great was the onslaught;—(Laughter)—shrill were the cries of the combatants;—(Laughter)—loud the exclamations of the spectators. " Go it, Brougham!" " At him again, Lowther!"—(Laughter.) And bloody was the field ere the combatants could be separated.—(Laughter.) He was sure he spoke the feelings of all members of the Cumberland and Westmoreland Agricultural Society, e hen he said he was delighted to see here present, cheek by jowl, Lord Brougham and the Earl of Lonsdale— the heads of the two houses of Lowther and Brougham, harmoniously partaking of their hospitality. They were much indebted to them for their kindness and support. The patronage of his Noble Friend, Lord Brougham, had added most materially to the interest of the occasion, as ino doubt it did to the joviality of their assemblage. The next toast proposed by the Noble Chairman was " The health of the Bishop a nd Cler gy of the diocese, ' which was ac knowledged by the Rev. Dr. Bowstead. Lord BuotronAm then rose, and said he had now to propose, as the immediate business of the day, " Success to ; the Cumberland and Westmoreland Agricultural Sa l ciety," whose great proceedings of the cattle show had brought them this day together. He ought to ap proach such a subject as that, on which he was generally speaking so id-informed, and of which he had really no practical experience, with very great distrust of him self ; but, nevertheless, he could not help feeling that he should ill discharge his duty as their president on that occasion if he were altogether to repudiate the subject. They were met certainly to avoid all allusion whatever to political topics, and to unite in that which should further one of the greatest interests of mankind—the cultivation of the soil. His Noble Friend, the head of the society, and Lord-Lieutenant of the county, had set him the example of abstaining from any refer ence to disputed points, such as those connected with the trade in provisions. H© cheertully adopted the principle, and would avoid the contested ground altogether. He would also join him in hold ing this opinion—that whatever might be the effect of the late very important change in the law and policy of this country with respect to the corn-trade, all men must admit that its first tendency, whatever might be its ultimate effects, was rather, upon the whole, he would not say of a kind to press hard upon the pro ducer of food, upon the tiller of the earth, upon the land lord or the tenant-farmer, but rather to stimulate him— for that was the moral he drew from it—to stimulate him to all measures of improvement whereby he e r a o n .hake his trade more profitable and his land P ductive.—(Cheers.) Ho had the misforstuunbjecttoosreidniffheisr upon the corn-laws, as upon many other time, from his Noble Friend near him,and he w also great numbers of those .fri en ds and neighboursas afraid had now the honour of addres s ing. He did not mean to renew the discussion of the corn-laws. He heard it debated till he was sick of the very name of corn—al. m ost as much s o as a lame man might be of the word.— (A laugh.) Ii e was as sick of it as ho could be during that tiresome and never-to- be-sufficiently-deprecated session of 1846, owing to the labour it took in that House of Parliament of which he was an unworthy member. God forbid he should renew the discussion now. But, though b e had tho misfortune to differ with many of them, he a lways maintained that in the end it would be no damage to either landlord or tenant. lie never denied: that the immediate tendency would be of a kind • to press somewhat upon them. He never as— serted, as many foolish and though less people in the giddiness of the moment did, that repealing the corn laws would make the loaf larger, or the price of the loaf smaller. He never maintained such a proposition— he never could maintain such a proposition; if he had, the evidence would have been against him every hour of every day since. What its ultimate effects would be was a very different question; but he never maintained that such would be its immediate effect any more than ime other agitators for rep 1 of the thea,;lb.yifmait l is v n i t ll ai l n o i w nz . , ...th a a g t es,l i , t , a . :c ih 'il o ,A l . e o a r • k er . :0, " God forbid there sh ou ld b e a reread of the , s ." "But i t ail], cheap en bre ad," rejoired the , , 4 an d that will more then compensat e for any nin your wages." "We are not so sure about -as the reply, and it was a cuaioue fact nothing as said on the id ea o f l ower i ng wages, and from am forth they held no public meeting except by because the working people would have come in _ erwhelcned them. That was the fast.—(Cheers.) He mentioned this to show how the wisest of men were very wrong when they came to speculate on futurity. God knows we were poor limited beings, not always seeing what was around and about us, and never at all what will be in the future. But it always was the opinion maintained by those with whom he associated on this, subject—it was the most important lesson that could he drawn from the result of that controversy, and whateyer happened to press on the farmer, it was the more important lesson for him to learn —it became doubly and trebly important that he should move all his powers, and put all his energies in force and action for the purpose of increasing the produce of his land and diminishing the expense of his cultivation.— (Cheers.) That was the ground on which they might all meet, whatever their opinions on local politics or general politics might be. His friend the High Sheriff, .. having passed some time in the E as t, had imported an oriental apologue, for which he did not believe there was the slightest foundation in fact.— (A laugh.) In that excellent Arabian Nights' tale he gave them an account of a fight between a blue boar and a yellow boar, and as the time might come when, as the preachers of peace and arbitration promised, " the lion should lie down with the lamb"—although that was not likely soot, to happen— he did not know what progress bad been made in Africa towards taming the lion, by paring his claws, and mak ing him submit with scissors in hand; but long before that the blue and the yellow boar were certainly at peace with each other on the present occasion. —(Cheers, and a laugh.) If they would allow him to make a somewhat scholastic allegory on the subiect, he .e.ould-say that, as • the opticians told them that the mixture of the two colours, yellow and blue, made green, so did their mix ture here naturally tend towards the object of their pre sent meeting the improvement of the green earth. — (Cheers.) He must then be permitted to say, that this improvement, which was - every than's interest—the interest of the landlord, of the tenant•farmer, of his workmen, of all the people whether connected with land or not, as consumers, ought to be strenuously, actively, and unremittingly pursued. His Noble Friend had justly adverted to the great importance of draining. It did not require a man to know much of farming to appreciate the importance of that matter. For himself, he hardly knew wore than the difference between an ox and a sheep—(A laugh) —he scarcely went further in his knowledge of stock than that. He might be able to dis criminate barley from wheat. With barley and rye he might, perhaps, be taken in. —(A laugh.) In short, he knew almost as little as the Legislature on the subject.— (A laugh.) It was utterly impossible to know less.—(A laugh.) For instance, they passed a measure—a most important measure, for it was a model Act—the Muni cipal Clauses Act, imposing various penalties for over driving cattle. They did not know an ox or cow to be cattle; and, in the interpretation clause, which had been very carefully framed, they said—putting forth, no doubt, all the knowledge they possessed—" cattle shall be taken to mean horses"—not very likely to be overdriven ; " goats"—not very likely to be overdriven; " mules" —hardly ever seen—(A laugh)—" swine"—not to be driven.—(Laughter.) They might as well talk of driving the Legislature, the :only way of driving them was to pull them back,—(Laughter continued.) How ever, the Legislature left out oxen and cows as if they were not "cattle," and very likely to be over driven.—(A laugh.) He knew almost as little as the Legislature; but, without knowing much more, he could easily tell that as long as the earth was a sponge of water, as in many parts of the country—some, not far off he was sorry to say it—still remained, it was utterly useless in ploughing and putting in manure. lie had actually seen people throwing lime into wet ground making lime water, very good for a burn, but of no use to make the ground dry. His Noble Friend near him had taken the judicious course—deep draining. (Cheers.) He had drained to an enormous extent, and he would go on draining until he made his land doubly valuable. From many practical agriculturists he knew that the effect of deep draining had been to double the value of the lend.— (Cheers.) After they had drained it was of the greatest importance no doubt to attend to manure; and a friend of his who bad attended very much to that subject produced a most valuable inven tion which had been patented in France, and would have been patented in this country but for his death. It would have been a very great accession to the powers of manure both in respect of cheapness and efficacy. But a very great step had been made lately, and approved of by all farmers, not merely specu lative but practic a l, with w h om he had the °pp( rtun'ty or conversing. He alluded to the effect of liquid manure. This he knew, that Lord Fortescue, himself a very ex cellent farmer, stated lately at a meeting of a sanitary association that manure in a state of liquidity, impreg nated with offal, applied to the soil —when the experi ment was tried on a moderate scale, raised the value of the lend from 7s. to 165., and when tried on a most ex tensive scale, the value was increased by the liquid flow in the proportion of 7s. to 285.—(Cheers.) Lord For tescue gave the details of these experiments, and he hoped they would bo printed and circulated. The operation required no apparatus—no expense of outlay. It only required that sufficient water should be applied to the manure—that there should be no sort of hydrophobia, no fear by diluting of destroying* its force.—(Cheers.) The amount of water was most material to the success of the application. Before sitting down he wished to allude to another matter, which he thought very ma terial—relating to machinery. He had been very much delighted to see so good a show of valuable engines, some of them most ingenious and very reasonable in price, for churning, hoeing, threshing, and so forth. A friend of his, a practical agriculturist, informed him that a very important step had been taken for the purpose of saving labour, and thereby economizing the expense of produc tion, and object which, with care and judicious mechanical contrivances, was always in our power, even when we could not increase the fertility of the soil.—(Cheers.) The most valuable experiments had been made in the application of steam on a small scale. People were apt to suppose that steam could only be employed on a gigantic scale, for locomotion on railways, or in great manufactories; of various kinds; and of course, in pro portion to the size of the engine was its expense, both in first cost, and in working it by means of fuel. But in the town of Glasgow a person had been able to have a steam-engine not larger than a teakettle—he had seen such an one himself ; in one instance he had heard of one not larger than a teapot, which was quite capable of driving a small turning lathe on which a cutler could work.—(Cheers.) Still it might be said this power had only been employed in manufactures ; but it might, with the greatest possible advantage in saving labour, be introduced into agriculture as well as manufactures. —(Cheers.) Thrashing machines, straw.cutting ma ch4ies, and various other engines, might be worked most advantageously by the application of steam; and he had thb, most confident, sanguine hope that ho should live tolsee this new and most valuable extension of the eppli cation of steam.—(Cheers.) Why not ? His Noble Friend had asked them to cast their eye back for thirty years; and most judicious was his reference. Never had he seen such beautiful cattle, such magnificent horses anti bulls, as he had seen that day —not to mention their extraordinary exhibition of poultry. Thirty years ago no man could have contemplated such a thing north of the Trent. He ventured to say, that as great progress had been made during the last twenty or thirty years, in farming and stock, through Cumberland and Westmore land, as in any other part of England.—(Cheers.) Perhaps one reason was, they hal very great occasion lei improvement; for, certainly, thirty years ago, they were not quite in the state they cught to have been.— (A laugh.) But, with reference to steam, it' any one, thirty or forty years ago, had said we should go to Lon dole and back in tw e nty-f our h ours b y steam, they would hate been laughed to scorn, as though the thing were uterly, absolutely, physically impossible. Dr. Darwin, indeed, by a most wonderffil gift of prophecy, antici pat 3d the day when he said— " Soon shall thy powers gigantic steam afar Push the slow bark, drive the reluctant car." But he was supposed to be a visionary. Mr. Canning and other wits laughed at him for his poem; but had Dr. Darwin lived, he might have laughed at them for the ridicule cast on him; for now steam was the great loco motive power in the universe. It travelled over the sea and over the land—over the sea in spite of tide, current, and wind—over the land almost in spite of time itself.— (Cheers.) What reason had they to doubt that the sate wonderful engine which Watt showed applicablet to pump up water from the bowels of the earth, spli t, rocks in pieces, or manufacture the machinery of welch, shall be applied to something betwee l n d t n h o e w only to some of the agricultural works which cou ld be exeeuted by dint of well-paid l a a labour ?

He never could tell exactly what state he was in —what was his, expenditure, what were his gains or losses, without regular or systematic bookkeeping. He therefore strongly reconuneuded his agricultural friends, although they might not be so well educated as those he now addressed, and started back from pen and . ink to adopt a good system of accounts.— . (Cheers.) the Noble and Learned Lord concluded, amidst loud cheers, by giving " Success to the Cumberland 'and Westmoreland Agricultural Society," which was duly honoured. Mr. SENHOUSE, the Vice-President, proposed " the health of the Members of the two Counties." Colonel Lowther, Mr. E. Stanley, the Hon. C. IT. Howard, Mr. W.
