The restless fiery eye indicated that greater degree of susceptibility ; everything startled the beast so charac terised, and it was constantly on the move. The muscu lar action quickened the respiration, a greater amount of oxygen was admitted into the system, and the organic combustion went on so rapidly, that the carbon and hydrogen, which formed the basis of fat, were exhausted as fast as they were supplied to the system, by the vege table food. The animal with the qniet good-natured eye took things much more easily, and accommodated itself with as little trouble and movement as possible to the circumstances in which it found itself. Its digestion was not affected by excitement, its breathing was regu lar and not too quick—there was no waste by undue mus cular action, and no excess of oxygen ; and conse quently the combustible elements of the vegetable food were rapidly accumulated, and the beast brought, with great saving of time and expense, to the condition prized by the butcher. Gentlemen, I have said that I wished more particularly to offer to your notice on this occa sion, a few observations on the benefits to agriculture de rivable from connecting with it the best principles of the drainage and sewerage which it has lately been my duty to consider in relation to the improvement of the health of towns. I know no place better calculated to illustrate the reciprocal benefits which the inhabitants within and the lands without a town may derive from connecting the improvements of sewerage with those of agriculture, than the town of Lancaster. It is situated on a hill, al most every house has the advantage of a natural declivity for its drainage, and a rich tract of land intervenes be tween the hill and the river, which winds round the , base. I allude to the marsh land; and it is not without feelings of regret, not unmingled, as a townsman, with feelings of shame, that it still deserves the name which it has always borne. The thick mist that shrouds it at early dawn, and settles upon it at eventide, told too plainly, as I viewed that rich expanse from the windows of my present abode, that the common principles of effective drainage, now universally recognised to lay at the foundation of the productiveness and full value of the land, had still to be applied to fields held in trust for the benefit of the town and its ancient freemen. In their present state the best land, yielding what is called the marsh grass lets for 41. per acre, the greater part of the low land which has not the advantage of a natural de clivity, for about 30s. per acre. In Edinburgh the low land to the east of the city produces 15/. per acre. Yet by nature that land is of a poorer quality than our marsh lands. Here, then, is a capital fact. How is it to be explained ? Simply that the Scotch, premising deep and efficient drainage, irrigate those meadows with sewer-water. Gentlemen, our town marsh lands are neither efficiently drained nor irrigated ; nor is any part of the sewer-water applied to their fertilization; the soil has become adhesive and deteriorated by the long action of superfluous moisture, which might so readily be drained off into the neighbouring river. But without drainage, irrigation is impracticable. I fear that this word, which must become so important and significant in the science of agriculture, is new in that sense to many here pre sent. Mr. James Dean, whose evidence before the Health of Towns Commission you will find in the volumes which I have deposited in the public library of the town, states that at Ashburton in Devonshire, where they have carried on the practice of irrigation for more than forty years, they have grass for the ewes and lambs a full month earlier than in most other situations not so treated, and at a time when lambs produce double or treble the price they usually sell for at other periods. In its present exhausted and undrained condition your marsh lands, I perceive, produce rushes, carex, and the comparatively ihnutritiouts stoloniferous grasses. You now can only amend the produce by the rude, laborious, and comparatively expensive application of solid manure as top-dressing. Efficient drainage alone would produce a diminution, and ultimately extirpation of the rushes and carex ; irrigation would produce or promote the vigorous and effective growth of the poas, the fescues, and the vernal grass all abounding in nutritive matter, consisting of sugar, mucilage and extract. Irrigation with sewer-water would be followed by such a degree of productiveness as would unquestion ably raise the value of the present marsh land, situated as it is near a populous and manufacturing town, to the value which land similarly treated has acquired in Edin burgh. Under the present system of sewerage of Lan caster, this last and most important application to the neighbouring land is impossible. The contents of the town soughs and drains—which are as valuable when rightly applied, as they are noxious and detrimental when detained in or near a town by a bad system of sewerage—are ultimately received into the old mill-race; this race, so named on the principle of the locus a non bicendo, commencing from Dalton-dam extends through the lower parts of the town from the Green Area to the old bridge, where it empties itself into the tidal river. At low water its contents flow sluggishly towards that outlet ; at spring tides they are driven back towards their source ; the miasmata then rise abundantly from your untrapped gully-holes ; the decomposed matter is well mixed and agitated by this flux and reflux ; and the vile odours of the stream, w hi c h i s , i n f act , an elongated cess-pool, hare led by degrees to the expensive operation of arching it over through nearly its whole extent. My friend Mr. George Burrow, through whose garden this ditch receptacle of the sewers flows, has recently been compelled by its offensiveness to cover it over at an expense of upwards of one hundred pounds. Why, for that sum, or less, you might have the requisite flood-gates and other machinery erected at the outlet of the stream which would ensure a constant and more rapid flow of the whole mill-course into the river;---for the sums that must have been expended in bringing over the whole ex tent of the mill down from Germany-bridge to Bridge lane, you might have established an efficient system of sewerage for the whole town, admitting also of its appli cation to the agriculture of the adjacent lands. And what has been gained by thus hiding this noisome feature of the sewerage of Lancaster from public view? " It does but skin and film the ulcerous place, Whiles rank corruption, mining all within Infects unseen." I find the records of the public infirmary and the testi mony of every medical man in private practice concur in pointing out the vicinity of the mill-course, as the most common and fertile source of fever. I hold in my hand a pamphlet, published in 1875, by the late highly re spected Dr. Campbell, giving an account of a typhus fever, which raged in Lancaster in the years 1782 3 and 4, of which 500 cases fell under the doctor's observation at that early period of his career. The sources of febrile mias mata from imperfect sewerage, bad ventilation, and the accumulation of privy-middens, in crowded and ill built courts and alleys continue unaltered, unabated to the present day. There needs but the coincidence— a very possible one—of certain conditions of atmos phere, with unfavourable seasons, with the existing local causes, to excite an equal or more extensive outbreak of typhus, or of some other and more fatal form of conta gious disease. I shall merely repeat that the natural advantages of Lancaster are such as to render the adop tion of an efficient system of drainage and sewerage—. and here I beg to say, that the sewerage of the Castle and the town must be combined into one and the same efficient system—that such a system, removing the evils and dangers of the present, and involving the benefits of the application of the products to the adjacent lands, may be carried out with every prospect of a remunera tive interest for th e capital expended. Time permits not now for an exposition of the facts and details which bear out and demonstrate the truth of that asser tion. I trust I shall be able to make it clear in the report on the sanitory condition of this town, which I shall have to submit to the Commission for those inquiries, of which I have the honour to be a mem ber. In the meanwhile I have sent copies of the report laid before the Houses of Parliament last session to the library of the Amicable Society, and to the Medi cal Book Club, and recommend to those more especially interested on the subject, the evidence of Mr. Hawkes ley, Captain Vetch, and Mr. James Dean. Gentlemen, the investigations requisite for a right knowledge of the best, and cheapest, and most effectual mode of improving the health of towns, and applying the sewerage to the advancement of agriculture have been carried on and completed to such an extent, the means of being ac quainted with these investigations and discoveries are so easy, that ignorance can no longer be pleaded as an excuse for passiveness and inert supineness in those who are intrusted with the important trusts connected with the health of a town, or the productiveness of common lands in the neighbourhood, for the benefit of that town and its inhabitants. Gentlemen who accept such honour able and important trusts should look well to the re sponsibilities which they incur by that Act. Supine in activity in remedial measures for the improvement of health, or in agricultural operations for the improve ment of the land, can only be excused by the plea of ig norance. But ignorance is now impossible, or if wilful, most culpable. And knowledge has its duties as well as its delights. It is a serious thing if, atfer the acquisition of the knowledge of an evil, of its nature, and of its easy and practicable removal, any unnecessary delay be per mitted in commencing the cure. I would that every preacher, of whatever sect and denomination, would aid in bringing home to the bosoms of those men who have taken upon themselves the official trusts on which the health and prosperity of a community essentially de pend, the awful nature of the responsibility of such trusts. I trust, and most willingly believe, that the ma gistrates who regulate the internal economy of the gaol, and the gentlemen of the town who form the Commis sioners of sewerage and pavement, and manage the com mon lands for the benefit of the town and the aged free men, need no such exhortation ; but that considering impartially the evidence in proof of the practicability an improved sewerage, and its application to agrcul ture, they will not wait for the application of a compul sary superior power to commence the requisite opera tions. It would bo a source of just pride, if Lancester should take the lead in the adoption of the measures re commended by the Commission for the Health of Towns, and afford, as it undoubtedly would, from its great na tural advantages, the example of a sufficient water sup ply, an effective sewerage, and a valuable and perma nent source of productiveness in the neighbouring lands, obtained by an outlay, which would prove to have been a most profitable investment, Should he vrov been at all instrumental in promoting this most impor tant and desirable effect, Professor Owen concluded by observing, that he should feel that he had done some thing more than merely wish the welfare of the Lan. caster Agricultural Society.—(Loud cheers.)

'LES. Accounts from China state that disturbances had again taken place at Canton. The English last year repaired the walls of the Company's garden, which had been broken down at the fire in 184 0 . They put on a gate, and were in the habit of walking, playing at quoits, and otherwise amusing themselves. On the 15th of July the Chinese endeavoured to force themselves into the garden, but were opposed. Upon this they threw brickbats, and broke down the gate, compelling the Englishmen to take refuge in a boat, in which they made their escape to the Con sulate. On the following evening a party of Chinese went armed with brickbats, and attempted to take possession of the other garden. Resistance being offered, they commenced an indiscriminate attack upon all the foreigners who came within their reach. Several American gentlemen immediately armed themselves, and drove them from the front of the factories. Still continuing to throw brickbats, they were fired upon, and one man killed, and an other wounded in the arm, which ended the affair for the day. The English and American Consuls applied to the Chinese authorities for a sufficient force to pro tect the factories, and a message was sent to the Ame rican man-of-war at the Bogue to request assistance. Intelligence of the 21st informs us that no further rioting had taken place, nor was any likely to occur at present. There were eighty-four English merchantmen, most of them of large burden, at Hong-Kong, Whampoa, Macao, Amoy, Chusan, Ningpo, and Shanghae. The number of American merchantmen was sixteen; of French one; four Portuguese, nine Spanish, one Danish, one Swedish, one Belgian, and one Siamese. The English ships of war were thus distributed :—At Hong-Kong, the Agincourt, 72, Captain W. 11. Bruce, bearing the flag of Rear- Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, C. 8.; the Minden, hospital-ship, Captain Quin; the Sapphire, Master- Commanding Fittock ; the Spiteful, steamer, Com mander W. Maitland; the Vixen, steamer, Commander Giffard ; the Hon. Company's steamer Proserpine, Commander Hough, R.N. At Whampoa, the Wolverine, 16, Commander 11. G. Morris ; the Pelican, 16, Commander P. Justice. At Chusan : the Castor, 36, Captain Charles Graham; Wolf, 18, Commander A. Vyner ; the Honourable Company's steamer Medusa, Commander 11. H. Hewit, R.N. At Amoy :—the Plover, surveying ship, Commander R. Collinson ; the Young Hebe, schooner, Lieutenant Commanding J. Bates. The French frigate Cleopatra, 50, Captain Cecille, was at Hong-Kong; the Alcmene, 32, Captain Duplax, at Canton ; the American frigate Brandywine, Commodore Parker, was at Macao ; the St. Louis, 20, Commander Tilton, was at Whampoa ; the Perry, 14, Commander Keith, was at Hong- Kong. The Portuguese brig of war, Tejo, was at Macao. The latest dates at Hong-Kong from England were :—England, Gth May ; United States, 9th April ; Sydney, 3d May. At Calcutta mosey was in great abundance. Government securities had risen, in consequence, and the Five per Cent. New Loan had changed hands at 10 per cent. premium. Exchange was heavy, at 11. 10i-s., or a small fraction above, at ten months' date. Commercial matters in China were dull. Cotton yarn continued depressed, as before. The iron market was over supplied. Opium was firm, being supported by the smallness of the supply. In rice prices had given way. In tea very little doing. The second and third crops are said to have been destroyed by the late rains. Rates of Exchange on London, at six months' sight, 4s. 3d. per dollar ; Government bills, at thirty days' sight, 4s. 10d., in little request. Freight to London and Liverpool, 31. per ton of fifty feet. The Hindostan arrived at Suez on the 24th of September, with a considerable cargo of silk goods, and about fifty passengers ; she sailed from Calcutta on the 18th of September. THE PUNJAUB. (From the Bengal Hurkaru.) AUTHENTIC NEWS FROM PESHAWAR, JULY 18.—The soldiers of Peshaw•ur have conducted themselves of late is anything but an orderly way. They seem to have cast off all restraint, which their dread of the principal authorities had produced in them ; and make little of plundering and ravaging the husbandmen and their farms. In one of its mischievous excursions, a body of these uncurbed pillagers assaulted, with brutal cruelty, a domestic of Sirdar Peer Mahomed Khan, for offering re sistance to their escape with some of his property which they had robbed him of; but, notwithstanding, the free booters did not get off scot-free this once, their flight was arrested by the timely interference of a largo body of the Sirdar 's servants ; they were presented to Tej Singh for trial, and at his sentence now lie in prison. It has been publicly prohibited to resort to compulsory means to obtain the services of a Ylussulman. Sultan Mohammed has sent his family to Khohout---a removal, which is looked upon by many as a preliminary step to his inciting the people of this place to an insurrection. Meean Übdool Ryman not having been discovered, Synd Mahommed was called upon to explain matters to Akbar Khan. The refusal on the part of the Kuzzulbashes, with which Dost Mahommed's invita tion to them was met, gave high offence to the Dost, who, after due consultation, determined on invading and driv ing them from the Affghan territories. The Kuzzul bashes, on receiving intimation of this resolution, sent messengers to the Dost to say that they would not put him to the trouble of attacking and forcing them to quit the country, if he but paid them fur the forts which, at their individual expense, they had raised in his terri tories. The proposed condition was not acceded to, and one of Dost Mahomed's sons has proceeded to give battle to the Kuzzulbashes, while Akhbar Khan is about to follow with one regiment of 14,000 regular Suwars, and two of infantry, the latter under the command of Kaol Lall. LAUORE, JULY 19.—The Raja Sahib to-day sum moned the several artisans who had been engaged in the late preparations for a war, and demanded of them a statement of the amount of their respective manufac tures, and their expenditure for them, both which accounts they having rendered to the entire satisfaction of Raja Sahib, the tradesmen were rewarded, indepen dently of their dues, with a large sum of money from his Majesty's coffers. An officer of the Raja Sahib, who had shot a private through the heart, of which he instantly died, was by his Majesty dismissed the service. Four thousand rupees were given for the purchase of grain for the horses of the troops, the last store having been consumed. Soldiers were finally dispatched to seize on Meeaun Single, who has perpetrated some very serious crime, which, however, is not publicly known. JULY 25. After a visit to the Maharaja, the Raja Sahib attended the durbar. R ungoor Singh, the brother of Leenah Singh, obt a i ne d t hi s day the resident ship of Issurnuck, promisi ng t o pay monthly an amount of 37,000 rs. as the revenues of the place, Singh has been sl a i n b y one of his Jowahir officers.

The writer of this assures the public, that there have been several different versions of the fate of Peshora Singh ; but that the fol lowing is correct :—When he ran away from battle, on his arrival at Kurrian, he was informed, that if the Raja Sahib found him he would kill him, Fearing for his life he ran away to Multan. Surjun Singh hearing this, in formed the Raja Sahib of it, who dispatched Maher Singh to bring him the Raja Sahib. The Prince hay ing arrived, he was accordingly brought, with his mother, before the Raja Sahib, who bestowed the Governorship of Kirriallah on him, with a salary of 60,000 rupees a year. Mishe r L au b Singh and Mecan Laub Singh were detected to have embezzled an enormous sum from the Treasury of Lahore, and have been in consequence dis missed from the Raja Sahib's service. The Raja Sahib has given orders to every one of the surdars in the Sheik territories to engage 1,000 soldiers, who are to be either Puthans or Affghans. The mother of the Maharajah has quarrelled with the Raja Sahib and Pundit Jullah. The present pension allowed to her Highness of I,ooors. per day was found to be too small a stipend, and an in crease of another 500 to the 1,000 was according applied for ; this the above personages refused to graet, and have, therefore, incurred her Highness's serious displeasure. AUGUST B.—Surdah Lenah Singh writes to his Ma jesty that he is raising levies at Sareiez, a province of Cashmere, and that after this has been accomplished he will return with his troops to Lahore. Ajeet Singh, it was reported in Court, has excited a rebellion among the inhabitants of Lahore Pinder, and is plundering and otherwise persecuting such as have repelled his insinu ations and continued firm to the Maharajah, with great cruelty. Alarmed at this intelligence; the Maharajah consulted with the Raja Sahib on the measures expo • dient for this occasion, and was advised to dispatch troops who should subdue the insurgents. But his Ma jesty contented himself by addressing to the Vakeel of the rebel chief a letter, directing the secretary to ad vise his employer to desist , from his rebellious pro ceedings. From Lahore we have letters to the 30th of July, without, however, any items of particular interest. Goolab Singh continues to hold out against the solicit ; ations of his nephew for a reconciliation, and it is strongly reported that he has been joined by Meean Lab Sing, who lately took leave from the durbar, and is known to be now at Jumboo. A son of Meean Singh, a chief of some consequence, has been seized and put to death in Cashmere; and the proceedings against the Sir. dars, originating mostly with the Pundit Jella.will doubt less work out the revolution, which is, on all hands, ex pected to take place shortly after the troops return to the capital. Sirdar Mungul Singh (a brother-in-law of Kurruck Singh) who put down the Tawana insurrection, is on his way back to Lahore. He did not succeed in capturing Futteh Khan, but has brought with him tie wife and children of that chief. INtungul Singh was shot in the arm, and is reputed a good soldier. Nothing is known of the result of the border dispute, though it is suspected to have been fomented by Heera Singh. (From the Dtlhi Gazette, Oct. 10. Our letters from Sukkur are to the 29th or 30th tilt , we cannot exactly say which. One of our friends has obligingly gone into a detail of all that passed of late, and we shall give from his letter such particulars as have been hitherto but partially dwelt on, though at the risk of a little repetition. Between two and three hundred names of culprits in the 64th Infantry, had been given in to the General by the European and native officers, when called upon to furnish lists of the guilty parties, and out of them he selected the thirty nine reserved for trial. Several of these were immedi ately sent off' to solitary confinement, the remainder being placed in the guard-room. The act of suspension regarding Colonel Mosely was confirmed by Sir Charles Napier, and his Excellency further directed that Capt. Burt should be placed in arrest at large, though nobody exactly knows why, as it is the general opinion that Captain Burt is very little to blame in the affair, which arose entirely out of former transactions chiefly enacted between Kurneul and Ferozepore, and into the secret of which our valued correspondent " Goban Saer" long since admitted the public; and which, though of a grave and se rious nature, may be extenuated to a certain extent by the reflection that had the 64th not been induced some how or other to go down, no power possessed by Go vernment would have succeeded in coercing them and others to march from Ferozepore; a dilemma the conse quences of which are too dreadful to think of. Wo are glad to hear that all continued quiet since the trials com monced, and that the men do the duty " with the usual indifference of the native." The order regarding the discharge of officers and men alluded to before, seems, as we read the communication before us, to have been in tended to embrace the European officers; but surely Sir Charles Napier cannot have the power which such an order would presume; or if he has, we must confess it is in very dangerous hands. We apprehend, however, there is some mistake in this matter. On the day the 64th were deprived of their colours, the regiment was wheeled into a hollow square, the European company fronting the colours, when Captain Shortreed, who had been in command of the corps since the arrest of Captain Burt, explained the station orders, and the co lours were taken out of the square and delivered over to the officer commanding the party. The scene is said, and we should think truly so, to have been most humiliating. Captain White, of the 69th, was appointed to act as De• puty Judge Advocate-General on the trials, and we are told that a better selection could not have been made. In fact, all tho acts of General Hunter on this unfortunate occasion are pronounced by our friends at Sukkur to have been most judicious, considering the means at his disposal. It is believed that Sir Charles is not quite sa tisfied, but that the General has the entire approbation of Sir Hugh Gough, of the Adjutant-General, and of the Governor-General in Council. Our latest letters announce that the trials had been all concluded, and though nothing positive can, of course, be known regard ing the sentences pronounced, it is strongly suspected that the punishment of death has been awarded in several cases, especially in those of the sepoys, who personated the Governor-General, Commander-in-Chief, and other members of Council, and who are reported to have formed a panchayet in the lines, protected during their consulta tions by a chain of sentries, with orders not to allow any one to interfere or enter the magic circle without being duly ushered in, the native officers and even havildars being especially excluded. We may, therefore, speedily look forward to the promulgation of the sentences by the Commander-in -Chief. The orders from the Government to Sir Hugh Gough to send down the Bundlekhund legion, a regiment of Europeans, and a regiment of irre gular cavalry, via Sirsa and Bahawulpore, were known at Sukkur, but have, as our readers are already apprised, been countermanded. (From the Delhi Gazette, Sept. 7.) Our letters from Shikarpoor and Sukkur are to the 25th and 26th ult., and from the former place we learn that Captain 11Plienaie has had another brush with the " gallant robbers," and also, that ho and his irregulars have this time given a good account of them. There had been reports for some days previously of the Beloochees being in the neighbourhood, but nothing definite was known ; one thing was, however, certain, that a large body of the enemy were on the move in the vicinity of blobarickpoor, with the intention, it was supposed, of attacking some small out-post detachments in that neighbourhood. On M'Kenzie hearing of this, he al lowed them to advance well into the country, and then started oil' with his head-quarters, and intercepted the enemy, who were engaged with a party of 50 men of the 6th Irregulars, and as many of Tait's horse, making a running fight of it. Captain M'Kenzie advanced at a smart pace on hearing the firing, and though the main body of the mounted Beloochces escaped, he fell in with two strong parties on foot, and entirely cut them up, the Irregulars going to work with the determination of pay ing off old scores, and making Sir Charles give a better report of tham than he has hitherto done. Upwards of 150 of the enemy were left " biting the ground." The loss on our side was not very great ; one sowar killed, about 20 wounded, and some 20 or 30 horses killed and wounded. It is reported that Dr. Comberbach, the surgeon of the 6th Irregulars, who charged with the body, has been wounded, though it is said slightly. We shall look with anxiety for further particulars, but we have heard since we received the above that it was the intention of the enemy's horse to draw out our two small parties of cavalry, and when they were well in the jungle, for the infantry, lying in ambush, to attalk them in the rear ; they were, however, caught in their own trap. Dr. Comberbach's wound is a sabre oat across the thigh, but he is doing well. Captain Holmes, second in command, was a Kira-lee-Ghurree, and it is thought probable that ho will also come across the enemy and make a good report of them. Sickness has decreased. It appears that Lieutenant Griffiths, of the artillery, whose death we mentioned some numbers back, was very suddenly attacked with fever ; it rushed to his brain, and he sank rapidly. The sepoy of the 64th, who was condemned for murder, was executed on the parade-ground in presence of all the troops. From Sukkur we learn that the troops were paraded_ to hear the proclamation regarding the change iae of Governor-Generalship read, and a salute of nineteen guns was fired ; the troops are represented G rese e n a t :r d al as as looking well good appearance, and the worthy well and hearty. There was but one commanding f o o ffi n e o e g present,ere the e e others being arrangementso on regardingt h e sickreport. the Themove ments of the Queen's regiments, which differ somewhat from those previously given:— " The Ist division of the 13th (Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Vigors, of that corps, will embark on or about the Ist of September, in steamers sent for their conveyance to Ko tree. On the 25th of August a wing of the 78th High. lenders will commence its march from Kurrachee to Ko tree, where it will encamp and wait the arrival of the Ist division of the 13th (Prince Albort's) Light Infantry, from Sukkur, which will disembark at Kotree, and taking over the camp equipage and carriages from the wing of e te e e7,Bth the highlanders willp c ro o e m e m od e i n n e g e itsto Sukkurmareh h t o r in trat; steamers which brought down the 13th.

LANCASTER AGRICULTURAL MEETING. (From the Lancaster Gazette.) _ On Thursday this meeting took place, as usual, in the Prince William Henry's field, at the top of Penny-street, when every accommodation was provided for the occa sion. On the ground were J. Wilson Patten, Esq., M.P.; J. T. Clifton, Esq., M.P.; T. Greene, Esq., M.P.; E. G. Hornbv, Esq., J. Satterthwaite, Esq., J. Roth e ell, Esq., W. Lawb, Esq., John Si,ewart, Esq., W. Armstrong, Esq., T. Rawsthorne, Esq., J. Stuart, Esq., E. Dawson, Esq., &c., &c. The stock show n was no t so numerous, but it was decidedly superior to former exhi bitions. It may be taken for granted that as these exhi bitions rise in quality, they will diminish in quan tity; for mere speculation will be put an end to ; so that farmers will not be at the expense and trouble of sending cattle to such exhibitions when they know that they have not a " shadow of a chance" of obtaining a prize. The re-assembling of the friends of agriculture was at dinner under the Assembly Room. J. W. Patten, Esq., took the chair, and was ably assisted as Vice- Chairmen by those two most enlightened and valu able " practical farmers "—Mr. Ellison, of Sizergh Castle, and Mr. Thomas Jackson, of Borwick Hall. Am ongst t h ose at table were—Talbot Clifton, Esq., M.P., T. Greene, Esq., M.P., E. Dawson, Esq., E. a Salisbury, Esq., T. Rawsthorne, sen. and jun., Esqs., A. R. Ford, Esq., J. 11. Bateman, Esq., W. Gar nett, Esq., J. Clark, jun., Esq., J. Walmsley, Esq., W. Lamb, Esq., J. Stuart, Esq., &c. On the cloth being removed, The CHAIRMAN gave the usual routine toasts—Her Majesty the Queen ; the Duchess of Lancaster ; the Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal family ; and Fowden IlindleJEs q ., the High Sheriff of the county ; th e L ord Lieutenant f the county, the Earl of Derby. [The meeting was a very good one, and several good speeches were made by the Hon. Chairman, Mr. Raws thorn°, Mr. Ford, and others, but we have not room for a word. The Lancaster meeting happens to fall the last in order of the many important gatherings of a similar character we have to report this week, and hence this very reluctant curtailment Professor Owen was pre sent, and as everything coming from so high an autho rity must needs be valuable, we have found space for the speech delivered by that gentleman, on his health being drunk.] Professor OWEN returned his best thanks for the hearty manner in w hi c h his health had been drunk, and for the honourabl e and grateful duties which had been confided to him i n proposing success to the Lancaster Agricultural Society. Although he had a vote in two counties, his freeh o ld s were not of that nature or extent which entitled him to any consideration at an agricul tural meeting, neither had he any claim to their atten tion from a practical acquaintance with the business of agriculture. He believed he owed the present distinc tion to the circumstanc e of having devoted a great por tion of his life to the pursuit of science ; and, if he were assured, and he could not hesitate in feeling that assur ance in the presence of the intelligent and energetic agriculturists here assembled —that the reception he had here met, was the expression of the conviction of the present meeting that scientific principles were the only true basis for the successful practice of agriculture, he should rejoice in the opportunity which the Len easter Agricultural Society had seized to add their public testimony to the now , almost universal re cognition of this most important and fertile principle in the production of vegetable and animal food. The development of vegetation from the surface soil, and the fattening or accumulation of nutri tious matter in the bodies of cattle, are both great che mical and physiological processes : the endeavours to accelerate and improve these processes are essentially great chemical and physiological experiments. He w h o ; and where the best understands the principles of th ose sc i ences will, ceteris paribus, have the best success with hi s experi ments. Practical farming is the carrying o n o f t h ese hadal experimentsan eye to th e resu l ts and according to th e i nd i cations of beyond his nei g hb our, who may success,modified l l h a hfe n ai drs hasmppeh processes gs has i co o sn l s o ee g s i b c e y have continued stationary and content with the results which his forefathers had obtained for him. But the rapidity and the certainty of the success which attends improved practice aro much more striking, when the ex periments have been based upon a knowledge of the scientific principles of agriculture. As an exemplifica tion of this fact, he would cite the condition of the land now farmed by Mr. Rawsthorne, at Heysham, and ask them to compare it with that of the neighbouring fields which continue to be cultivated upon the old system. Some may say, perhaps, that this is the effect of the application of capital beyond the means of the generality of farmers in that neighbourhood, or in this part of Lancashire ; he would leave his friend to state how little foundation there was for the idea that money and not science had been at the bottom of the successful farming to which he had al luded. It frequently happened that the sagacious and active agriculturist who had freed himself from the fetters of the practice of his forefathers, not unreason ably rejecting what custom sanctioned, but trying all things, holding fast to that which was good, it generally happened that he attained that perfection, the reason of which could only be explained by scientific principles, which then justified and established the practice. Ile could give many instances of this sort, did time permit ; they were very striking in regard to the opinions held by the best breeders of cattle on the good and bad points of the animals reared for food or draught—but as he was desirous of saying a few words on a more important sub ject connected with agriculture ; the application of the sewerage of the towns to the improvement of adjacent lands—he' should limit himself to a single instance. He had been struck by an observation he had heard at York, in 1838, from his friend Mr. Bates, the celebrated cattle breeder of Kirkleavington, that a beast with a quiet good-natured eye fattened sooner and more kindly than one with a restless startled look. What, it might bo asked, had the character of the eye to do with the acquisition of fat ? The physiologist knew that the aye was the index of the \,'-'• r oilef J ter °I. :c orgii Pm F,sq.'
