All persons indebted to the said Charles Thomson, or that have any of his effects, are not to pay or deliver the same but to Mr. Groom, the official assignee, No. 12, Abchurch-lane, Lombard-street, nomi nated in that behalf by the Commissioner acting in the matter of the said petition. JAMES JOHNSTONE, Messenger. recommending the inhabitants to make holiday as far as pos sible to-morrow, and thus allow those in their employment to visit Southampton and its agricultural wonders. A'bazaar, for the benefit of the Hants Infirmary, is being held. during the continuance of the show. The Duke of Cam bridge visited it this morning. The theatre is open under an amateur management, but is not making a very bounti ful karvt , st. Even the attractions of Speed the Plough have proved insufficient to prevent a " beggarly account of empty boxes:" We do not know whether the beasts in the mena geries and in Mr. Van Amburgh's establishment have had more luck than the legitimate drama, but they could scarcely have had worse. FMPLOYMENT.—Persons having a little time to spare are apprised that Agents continue to be appointed in London, and country towns, by the EAST INDIA TEA COMPANY,' or the sale of their celebrated teas. Guano next year would be cheaper than any other manure in the world. It would never be so cheap again.—(Hear, hear.) He entreated them to lay in a stock, and only to put it upon the ground in wet weather. He hoped that next year they would all manure with guano, and they would soon be convinced of its wonderful effects. They must not, however, expect the effect of guano to last more than one year, but if they found it to pay one year, they ought to re peat the experiment the next season.—(Hear, hear.) The Learned Gentleman concluded by expressing his gratitude for the honour done to him by the meeting. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to read the awards of the judges of stock, as subjoined : At the conclusion of the reading of that part of the award relating to cattle, the Chairman jocularly remarked that l ie thought they would all be the better for a glass of wine. He therefore begged to propose, " Success to the competitors in cattle." Stirring and sprightly as the town is during the day, it is almost still more so at night. The heat during the sunny hours is quite overwhelming, but in the cool of the evening people appear really to enjoy themselves. The pier last night was crowded with promenaders inhaling the fresh breeze— and the picturesque irregular old high street, sparkling with lights, and almost overhung with flags—every window open and crowded with loungers—the pavement covered with groups chatting, laughing, and recalling the scenes of the day, _made up, as may be imagined, a really lively and plea sant sight. Passing over Houndwell, in the dusk of last evening, we observed an itinerant preacher holding forth at a great rate, surrounded by an auditory who appeared to be veryinuch in doubt whether to listen or laugh, and ended by doing both. The orator was inveighing against the show, as being one of the abominations alluded to somewhere in the prophecies. Leaving this recondite expositor of theology, we found it more pleasant to listen to the number of street bands—good, bad, and indifferent, which were performing at every corner. Southampton is very musical, as well as very agricultural, at this present moment. Every species of peripatetic organ ever built appeared last night to be in full grind, and it was late before the usually quiet town settled down into its ordinary state-of nocturnal tranquillity. The Council dinner takes place in the Archery-rooms, at five o'clock. The Pavilion is being rapidly fitted up for the greet banquet to-morrow. It is almost impossible to give,- with any thing like exactness, a list of the names of the company pre sent. They include a great number of our nobility and scientific agricultural men.

AGRICULI URE, COMMERCE, NAVIcATION, THE _ . ____ _ CHURCH. MEETING FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING AN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. A public meeting for the above purpose was held at the Freemasons' Hall, at two o'clock. The attendance was nut very numerous, which indeed was to be expected, as most of the agricultural visitors were engaged in the implement yard. What, however, the meeting lacked in point of numbers, was made up by the great respectability of the parties present, among whom were the Duke of Richmond, Lord Ducie, Mr. Pusey, M.P.; Mr. Escott, M.P., Oxford; Professor Playfair, Mr. Goddard, Dr. Buckland, Dr. Daubeny, &c. . . The chair was taken by Mr. PUSHY, WITO briefly stated the object of the meeting, and pointed out the advantage that would accrue to the agriculturist from the establishing such a college. The project had been taken up by many of the leading agriculturists, not only in the immediate district in which it was intended to establish the college, but in other and distant counties. Lord Bathurst had, in addition to pro viding a suitable farm of 400 acres, on which the college and other buildings were to-be erected, advanced 2,000/. in fur therance of the object.—(Cheers.) The Duke of RICHMOND, in proposing the first resolution, said that he appeared before them not as a member of the Royal Agricultural Association, for the rules of that Society precluded the members from interfering in anything but the immediate object for which they periodically met, but he stood before them as a country gentleman, anxious to .pro mote an object so laudable, and so beneficial to the agricul turists of the kingdom.—(Cheers.) They all must regret that their early education had not given them the advantages of the of chemistry, as practically , adapted to agri cultural purposes. He had declined to take shares in that Society, upon the principle tliat every shareholder should have time to attend to the details of the Society to which he had put his name, so that by so doing he might not mislead others to add their names, upon the faith of seeing his name, and thereby supposing that he would attend to its practical operations. He would avoid that evil, as he was aware that his many other avocations would prevent him from giving sufficient attention to the details. He, however, so highly approved of the Society, that although he.could not become a subscriber for the reason he had stated, yet he most gladly gave a donation to promote its establishment.—(Hear, hear.) He would not have the Committee be too sanguine of making any profit from the farm. He was a farmer himself, and he was aware that farming was not so prosperous as most other pursuits. He was of opinion that schools of agriculture were much wanted in the country, and he had great pleasure in proposing the first resolution (which was seconded by Dr. Playfair) :—" That schools of agriculture are much wanted in this country; in which a knowledge of the sciences now admitted to be essential to the successful pursuit of agricul ture may be learned, in connection with the practical working of alarm on the most approved principles." . . . . Mr. Escorr proposed the second resolution, and said that he gladly availed himself of joining a meeting that had so important an object in view. He, in common with many other persons, had long deplored the want of a proper esta blishment for the education of the agricultural population in pursuits adapted to their after life. A most important fact was developed and published by the agriculturists themselves, as the wish to establish a college originated from a farmers' club.—(Cheers.) The object of the meeting had his most cordial support, and he moved the following resolution (which was seconded by Mr. N. Goddard) :—" That the plan for the establishment of an agricultural college, near Cirencester, explained by the deputies attending that meeting, is calcu lated to effect that desirable object.' The next resolution was to have been proposed by Lord Spencer, but the Duke of Richmond explained to the meeting that that nobleman was unavoidably absent, in consequence of being in attendance on his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who was inspecting the show-yard. In the absence of Lord Spencer, Dr. EUCICLAND proposed, and Mr. EYLE seconded the resolution :—" That this meeting warmly. recommends the agricultural community to give every support and encouragement to the establishment of the college, which they reg ard as the first step in the right di rection for training up the rising generation of farmers upon a sound foundation ; and they would especially urge on farmers generally the importance of securing to their children intended for the same occupation, the great advantages to be derived from the kind of education provided by such an insti tution.

MEETING AT SOUTHAMPTON. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 24.—The show, with all its concomitants of business and pleasure, hurry and racketting, heat and smother, is progressing. Southampton was full vesterday—is fuller to-day ; and the crowd here al ready, although great, is a trifle to what is expected to morrow. Every householder has turned a lodging house keeper for the nonce, although—except in the matter of charging—they do not seem very au fait to their extempore vocation. Indeed, so outrageous have been the demands that a great many people have been fairly frightened away and taken refuge in the neighbouring villages—most of which are crowded. Mr. PETER acknowledged the toast, expressing his satis. faction with the decision of the judges. In the course of the few remarks made by the Hon. Gentleman upon cattle breeding, he took occasion to advert to the importance, in this branch of agricultural matters, of paying, particular attention to the blood of the sire. —(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to read the award as to the sheep—a strong feeling of interest being displayed in the meeting whenever he came to the Southdown breed. The reading of the awards was concluded with the toast of " The successful competitors in sheep." The Duke of RICHMOND returned thanks. His Grace was received with marked applause. He said he endeavoured to return thanks as the holder of the second prize awarded to the rams, and the first awarded to the ewes.—(A laugh.) He was grateful for the acclamations which had hailed the award of the judges in his favour. He had long been a candidate, and he hoped had shown himself a good beaten man when he had .been unsuccessful. He could not have ventured to suppose that the animals would have won the prizes which had been awarded to them, in a district which produced the best short-wooled sheep in the universe. He would grate fully take home to his own county the premium awarded to him. He returned thanks on behalf of Mr. Cambridge ":and Mr. Grantham, as well as of himself—gentlemen whom he had found it difficult to beat. He hoped, before sitting down, that he would be allowed to allude to a report which he had just heard, that some of his cattle had died from the effects of poison ere they had reached Southampton. Dearly would his success in any branch of agriculture have been bought, had it been purchased at the expense of so foul a stain upon the peasantry of the county which he was parti cularly connected with.—(Hear.) It was true that some of his cattle had died, but there did not exist the slightest sus picion that poisoning had anything to do with their death, or thatanything of the sort had ever been attempted. 7 --(Lood cheers.) He feared that to some of their lean stock shows they were apt to send beasts somewhat too fat, and he really believed that his had died of inflammation.—(Cheers.) Per haps' he would be allowed for a moment, before he sat down, to say a few words upon the subject of farm-labourers. He would recommend every man present, both landowners and land occupiers, to do their utmost for the amelioration of the condition of that most deserving class of the community.-- (Hear.) It was not only their interest, but their bounden duty to do this.—(Cheers.) He recommended the adoption of the system pursued in his county, of giving adequate re wards to meritorious agricultural labourers—of inViting them upon those occasions to sit down to dinner with themselves, and generally of doing their utmost to induce the labourers to look up to their employers as their best friends.—(Loud cheers.) He himself recommended the adoption of a similar system all over England.—(Cheers.) The reading of the awards was then resumed, and con cluded by the toast of " The Successful Competitors in Pigs and Extra Stock." Mr. PUSEY returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Implement Makers," re marking that the show in this respect was an improvement upon that of last year at Derby.—(Hear, hear.) The exhi bitors were finding out every year what sort of machines were wanted, and that the exhibition of inferior implements was of no avail.—(Cheers.) He had great confidence in the application of science to agriculture—he had great confidence in the application of geology, chemistry, and botany ; but he had still more in the application of mechanics.—(Cheers.) The toast was acknowledged by Mr. CorrAm, who dwelt upon the kindness with which the implement makers had been received by the judges, and challenged the whole world to produce such an exhibition of mechanical skill as applied to agriculture, as they had seen that day. Mr. HANDLEY proposed " The Stewards of the Yards." Mr. MILES, M.P., returned thanks, as one of the stewards of the implement yard. He urged upon the constructors of implements the importance of simplicity, and congratulated the company upon the invention of what had been long a l i great desideratum—a .plough equally adapted to light and heavy soils. The Marquis of DowNSHHtE proposed " The health of the Judges who awarded the premiums." Drunk with three times three. Sir W. HEATHCOTE then proposed " The health of the President." The toast was most enthusiastically received. Earl SPENCER returned thanks. He was overpowered with the reception which he had received, and the expression of hearty goodwill which the toast of his health had received. He congratulated the Society upon the exhibition of imple ments. He had not seen the show of stock; but from all that he heard, he thought that it was very likely to prove a most satisfactory one.—(Hear, and cheers.) He proposed "The Earl of Hardwicke ;I' the toast was duly acknowledged, and the comp an y broke up at a reasonable hour.

F ARINA'S ESSENCE OF MEDICINAL HERBS. The above is the title of a new Preparation, which has been lately brought to perfection at the celebrated Eau de Cologne Distillery of John Maria Farina, 23, Rhine-street; Cologne, and which has already attained an extraerdinary repute ; the Faculty having universally recommended its use, and it being now generally adopted in all parts of Germany. Its qualities are manifold :—as a medicine it operates as a strength ener of the digestive organs ; is an excellent specific in cases of liver complaints and bilious attacks ; induces an appetite either in robust or sickly constitutions; is a certain remedy in cases of indigestion ; and a never-failing cure for wounds and bruises : it allays the pain of toothache, ruffles the skin from eruptions, and is a certain pre ventive of all cutaneous disorders. As a disinfectant it is infinitely more efficient than Chloride of Soda ; and, when diluted with water, it forms a delightful wash for the face and hands, imparting a clear and healthy bloom to the complexion. It consists of an extract of various medicinal herbs, mixed with the purest spirits of wine. It possesses a pleasant taste and a delightful perfume ; and forms an elegant appendage to the toilet.

" — S taffor d Gazette. . . . . The Dake of Cambridge arrived at nine by the regular extra train—if the expression be not a bull. His arrival was announced by a royal salute from the battery. His Royal Highness was received by the Mayor, Colonel Henderson, but not officially by the Corporation, as was originally pro posed, in consequence of a wish being expressed that the formality of a regular civic reception might be avoided. The Duke proceeded to breakfast with Colonel Henderson, and afterwards visited the implement yard, round which he was attended by the stewards. judges of the live stock are now busily employed- in making their award. The most scrupulous silence has, of course, been preserved as to its results, which will be an nounced to-day at the council dinner. No one, of course, except the judges has as yet been able to penetrate the in tralia of the cattle yard ; but, from the appearance of the stock as they were being transported thither, the knowing in these matters prophecy a great display of short horns, long horns, South Downs, Leicesters, &c. We have just returned from a second view of the implement yard. There are a greater number of visitors there than yesterday, but not near so many as are expected to-morrow. Most of them appeared to be practical men—substantial, top-booted, square-built farmers, who lounged from tent to tent, and machine to machine, attentively examining the of some, wondering at others, and in isomenip le m cases en shakingts; approving th their heads despondingly, before complex and abstruse-looking instruments, full of wheels, and hooks, and levers, and all manner of formidable- looking mechanism ; and saying, as clearly as looks can say anything, "This is far too clever for me." However, we do not mean to say that this was the general feeling apparent. A number of gentle. men—evidently practical farmers--examined the implements with care and intelligence, criticised their different parts and probable performances with that acuteness and confidence which showed how thoroughly their various excellences were understood and appreciated. The exhibitors were, in many instances, present, working and explaining their machines. A considerable number of ladies were also present, adding life and variety to the appearance of the criticising groups, clustered in lines along the columns of machines. On the outside of the show ground a considerable number of imple ments were at work, surrounded by groups of admirers or depreciators, as the case might be. There were clod-breakers, drain-tile makers, scarifiers, and all manner of novelties, hard at work. A perfect • city of booths for the dispensation of creature comforts, and boasting all manner of pompous titles, has sprung up round the fenced-in yard, like suburbs round a walled town. There are eating booth s , d r i n ki ng- b ooths, dancing-booths, gay with coloured lamps --at least they will be so when night comes on—and caravans and tents in which curiosities without number are hourly exhibited. To give you some idea of the charges at which the good folks here exhibit their hospitality, we may mention that in one of the common canvas-roofed booths surrounding the exhibition ground, a plate of chicken and ham is marked up and dis pensed there for the moderate sum of Fix shillings ! The owner of the ground at Portswood must be making some thing comfortable—at 2s. 6d. per foot of frontage, and an additional sum fOr extension beyond a certain point in the rear, is paid by the booth erectors. A pretty constant stream of omnibuses, coaches, cars, and cabs, some of them of most primitive construction, is kept up between South ampton and the ground. The road is hilly—the heat and dust almost unbearable, and whoever may have cause to bless the Southampton show, certainly the unfortunate horses have not. A number of the London police are here —many of them in plain clothes, and the precaution is necessarz, as the inspector stated that a number of very suspicious characters are about, who have left town in the exercise of their vocation. We have not, however, heard of any depre dation being committed, with the exception of the temporary abduction of a horse and cart—rather unwieldy, not to say dangerous, booty—and which was recovered by the exertions of the police. While we are writing, the trains from London continue to pour in additional visitors.

EXTENSIVE FAILURE.—A sensation has been pro duced this week in Congleton and Macclesfield, by the failure, under rather extraordinary circumstances, of a per- son in the former town, connected with the silk trade. The exact extent of the liabilities we have not heard, though rumour states them to amount to about 20,000/. It appears that forged bills have been paid in a great number of in stances to the creditors, in amounts varying from 901. to ;Oa A number of those bills have been forged on a honse in Mac clesfield, with whom the party had had transactions; and, it is said, the various signatures have been counterfeited so ex actly, that it is scarcely possible to detect them. So late as. Monday last the gentleman obtained a considerable quantity of silk from a firm in Macclesfield, no suspicion having been entertained. On Tuesday, however, the matter got wind, and a messenger was dispatched to'Congleton, who, with some difficulty, recovered the silk, and brought it back to, this town the same day. The individual has not been seen in this neighbourhood since very early on Tuesday morning, when, it is said, he passed through Macclesfield, and it is ru moured that he has sailed for America.—Macclesfield Chronicle. BANKRUPTCY OF ALDERMAN THOMAS JOHNSON.-.-. Yesterday being appointed for the proof of debts at the late -eking establishment of Messrs. Thomas Johnson and Co., imford, it being also market day, considerable excite prevailed throughout the town, and as early as ten ck in the morning the doors of the late banking-house „ - ere besieged by the creditors who held notes of the firm. The sub-registrar and three clerks were in attendance, to re ceive the claims of the applicants. The class of persons who thronged the counter to offer proor, of debts were principally small farmers from the neighbouring parishes, who held sec,n rides to amounts varying from 501. to 150/, and many of these cases were of a most distressing character, as several of these hard-working and industrious men had sold their cattle and other commodities in the market, in order to meet the half-yearly demand of their landlords; and in many in stances had taken their notes in payment for the sales they had effected only a day before the bank suspended payment. These poor fellows were not only unable to. meet their demands, but are reduced from comparative affluence to the greatest penury, the disastrous failure hav ing completely effected their entire ruin. To the usual question put to the clerk by the different creditors, as to whether " they held the notes previous to the bankruptcy, and had given full value," the response given was generally a sullen " Yes," and that they had parted with the sub stance for the shadow, and were afraid " they'd get nought in return for the bits of waste paper." A general impres sion prevailed throughout the town, 'that besides the proof of debts, there would also be a meeting of cre ditors, and an examination of the bankrupt in person. by the Learned Commissioner who opened the fiat, Mr. Sergeant- Goulburn ; but this IS an error, as the next examination is appointed to take place in London, on the 12th of August n ex t, at the Bankruptcy Court, 'Basing hall-street. Had Mr. Ald erman Johnson made his ap pearance in Romiord, as was expected, his reception would, have been far from a courteous one ; some very uncompli mentary expressions were made use of by the unfortunate men in the vicinity of the bank 1 and curses, both loud and deep, were bandied about in no measured terms. One unfortunate farmer, who held notes to the amount of between 3001. and 4001., caused great merriment, by declaring " He'd never wait for a dividend, and would go to t'other end of town, and tell Mr. Auctioneer to sell 'um outright, and would go and buy ship' (sheep) for what they would fetch, as be reckoned the leywe rs wou ld get all. " We did not hear the amount of debts proved, but we know it was considerable, and as we have before stated, prinoipslly by small farmers, who have been in the habit of taking the notes of the late firm in all their business transactions, and even preferred the notes of the Aldermau to those of the Bank of. England. The consist sale of the banlqupt's effects will take place at Romford, on FE 3 r l asi o n n eo d iop a f y altlhy n e s o x fb t at , hu ke b i y hilogu o s r e d b e ol r premises,d f t he r raiest,sispigl:nteeoe:athnwenh ant i cipated,ich in eSP that and the sale will yield any great amount. It was currently re ported in liotufbrd,yesterday, that owing to the large amount of notes in circulation, there will be little or nothing for the come creditof rors.

From the evidence of John Farmington and Charles Davis, it appeared that on Sunday evening last they hired a boat o f M r . T om li nson, o f HungerfOrd-tharket, and. with the deceased, rowed up the river to the Swan at Chel sea. Being joined there by an acquaintance, they started again for Putney-bridge, and, at a late hour, arrived there. They all drank rather freely at the last-mentioned place, and it was stated by one of the witnesses that the deceased was not sober. Howgver, they got into the boat again, and though it wag almost eleven o'clock, and quite dark, thought tlev could reach Hungerford-market. They ar riv`ll at the' Horseferry, near Milbank, in safety, but at a time when much confusion and excitement prevailed on that part of the river, in consequence of the u p se t t i ng of a cutter, and the loss of three lives. Before th e y were i n the least aware that they were in any danger they fou n d th e i r boat come in contact with a barge, which, owing to the: darkness of the night, they were not able to distinguish,. The boat suffered no injury, and they would probably hare sat in her with safety had they not been called to, and tried to get into the barge. Just after the others had got in de-, ceased was missed, but the prevailing darkness prevented - A ny one from seeing in what manner he disappeared. It was sup - - posed that he fell in his attempt to climb on to the barge. ()n Tuesday morning his body was found off Lucas's wharf by a fisherman named John Collins, who was then dragging the river for the three persons upset from the cutter. Verdict— Accidental death. THE NELSON MONUMENT.—It was stated on Mon day night in the House of Commons, by Sir R. Peel, in reply to Mr. Wyse, that an offer had been made by an eminent artist to complete the Nelson Monument, which offer the Government had rejected. Most of our Con temporaries, in their report of the following morning., stated that the artist who made this offer was named Parsons, and that he stipulated to receive 5,0001. This statement is wholly erroneous. The artist who made this offer was Mr. Patric Park, the sculptor. The offer was made to the Nelson committee, and not to the Government, and Mr. Park, with a public spiritedness and generosity seldom equalled, offered to complete the monument on his own responsibility, and at his own cost, rather than that any further difficult) , should occur in the matter, or that the committee should be beholden, to the liberality of a foreign potentate for the means of completing .a national testimonial to a British hero. VISIT OF THE KING OF THE FRENCH TO ENG LAND.--It is well known that King Louis Philippe has pro mised to pay her Majesty a visit this autumn.

The Gallant General and family and friends were landed by a Cowes pilot-boat, the True Briton, Indiaman, being wind-bound in the Channel. As soon as their presence became known, the Nobility and Gentry of the neighbour-. hood, and the inhabitants of Lyme, vied with each other in offering their congratulations, while the church bells poured forth their merriest strains of harmony to welcome the Gal lant Veteran and his truly courageous lady to their native land, after so many gallant actions and " hair breadth scapes by flood and field." They left for London on Tuesday morn ing, amid the cheers of a great number of persons who a,ssems bled to witness their departure. DIVIDENDS OF LIVERPOOL BANKS.

The festival took place at the Victoria Assembly Room, a plain, but large, light, and handsome hall. Nearly 400 gentlemen sat down to dinner, Earl Spencer presiding. Among those present we observed the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Leinster, the Marquis of Downshire, Lord For tescue, Lord Lilford, Lord Ashburton, Lord Camoys, Lord Ducie, Lord Somers, Earl of Essex, Earl of Scarborough, Lord Egmont, Lord Sandon, Lord Chichester, Sir T. D. Acland, J. T. Hope, Esq., M.P., Mr. Handley, Hayter, M.P., Sir C. Lemon, M.P., Lord Hatherton, J. B. Shelley, Esq., R. W. Blenco, Esq., the Honourable Mr. A'Court Holmes, M.P., Right Hon. Sturges W. Bourne, Lord Marden of New Forest ; Sir W. Heathcote, M.P., Mr. Pusey, M.P., Mr. Escott, ALP., Sir Charles Burrell, M.P., David Barclay, Esq., M.P., G. C. Courthorpe, Esq., Sir R. Price, Bart., Mr. Bramston, M.P., W. Long, Esq., Mr. Sotheron, M.P., Dr. Buckland, Sir C. Morgan, Colonel Chaloner, Colonel Hender son (Mayor), Capt. Ward, Lord Hardwick, Lord De Lisle, Mr. Napper, Mr. Stephen Mills, Sir John Ogilvie, Mr. Hillier, Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid. The dinner, an excellent one, was done due justice to. The Noble CHAIRMAN proposed " The Queen"—a toast, he was sure, they would all drink with enthusiasm. On all occasions they would have received the toast with the greatest cordiality ; but, in the present circumstances of her Majesty, there was a further inducement to do honour to it, which, he was sure, would not be lost sight of.—(Great cheering.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." They were aware that in drinking this toast they were doing honour to the members of the Royal Family, who were members of the Society, and he was sure that the whole of that illustrious family wished it well.—(Cheers.) The Duke of Cambridge had been to-day among them.— (Hear.) Ile had had the honour of showing him the imple milt yard, and although it was against the rule of the Society to allow any gentleman to enter into the yard in which the cattle were placed, waiting for the award of the judges—except the judges themselves—still he had judged that he would carry the feelings of the Society along with him if, on this occasion, he made an exception to the general rule, and conducted their illustrious visitors through the cattle-yard.—(Loud cheers.) He confessed that in this be had been guilty of an irregularity, but it was ono which he thought that the Society would be very ready to pardon.— (Loud cheers.) The toast was drunk with great cordiality. Lord ASHBURTON proposed the next toast, that of the " Professors of Science." If our ancestors thought that we should begin the proceedings of an agricultural dinner with such a toast they would have, perhaps, thought us out of our mind ; but no person who was aware of what in modern times science had done for agriculture—how it bad applied its recondite researches to the practical culti vation of the earth, would hesitate to pay to science the tribute which was so justly its due. The plough, like the ship, had been one of the earliest inventions of civilised man, but the most perfect form of its structure had never yet, perhaps, been discovered, and it would be for mechanical science to go on from improvement to improvement until the most perfect form should have been attained. For this they would be indebted to science—the application of science to the common arts of life. The Noble Lord concluded by propos ing the " Professors of science who had honoured them with their presence." Dr. BCCKLAND rose to return thanks. He thought that the best way in which he could show his gratitude would be by stating to them some information connected with the application of science to that particular branch of industry with which they were connected.—(Hear, hear.) The coun ties of Hampshire, Dorset, and Surrey were perhaps more susceptible of agricultural improvement than were any other counties in England.—(Cheers.) True, they had long sterile tracts of heath ; but heath lying at so low an elevation as to be very different from the uncultivated moors of higher ()lova , tions, and capable or; being brought into a lligher state of fertility,---(Iior, hear.) The Learned Gentleman proceeded to cuter into details of the soils in the county of Hampshire— pointing out the proper wanures for each variety, and parti cularly eulogising the management of the property of the Duke of Wellington, between Reading and Basingstoke.— (Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman went on to recommend the use of the subsoil plough, by means of which the produce would be doubled and trebled. They . had heard much of arti ficial manure, but that of guano, existing as it did in enor mous strata in the earth, came more particularly under hia observation as a geologist. The present dry Aiad ipeen almost fatal to experiments with gnap. e, tliereOre, en treated those who had this year keen tn,alFi t ng experime nts with guano, to letthcm go t9r uothing..—(Hear. hear.)
