Business began today at half past ten. The eaten char contained the names of 24 prisoners. Of these, 1 w sis charged with manslaughter, 1 with rape, 2 with shoot Lig at with intent to do grievous bodily harm, 1 With arson, 2 with highway robbery, 3 with burglary, 5 with h o usebreaking, 6 with • larceny, 1, a relieving officer, with forging signatures with intent to defraud the guardians of the Hungerford Union, and 1 with maliciously killi ail. a pig, the property of the guardians of the Bradfiel d Union. All but seven were marked as able to read, oi • to read and write imperfectly, and of the seven one was. marked as able to read and write well, and the rest a s unable to read or write. The amount of money found in their possession was very small. The man the ged with manslaughter had 21. 10s. 2d.; the man oh a rged with killing the pi;, 10s. Bd.; the man charged 'ivith arson, 3d.; one of those charged with burglary, 3 d.; and the rest nothing what ever. Caudwell's, who told him the: he fired twice; once at one o'clock and again, at three, 'sad believed that sumo of ' them were injured, as be saw a man's hand on the gun when he fired, and no cletibt' they (the police) could find' them by inquiring at thedoeter's. He said that on the Friday night More he threatened some gentlemen; and followed them to Ohristchurel. He did not say what words he used when he threatened them. T. B. Brown, the 'univtesity marshal—Took Mr. Caudwell into custody, and told him the charge. He was not handcuffed while in my dire. As I • was explaining to him how the shot hit the iide of the head; neck, and body, he said he saw the hard on the gun and itimed-at it, and that he thought the need must have projected a little that the shot should hive caught it. As I was taking him to Abingdon I said "It was a pity you were so unguarded as to fire;" an 3 be said it was a bad jeli, and that he had been so often annoyed by them'-that he. put a blauk cartridge into tie gun, and, took ,some•loose shot and rammed it into the guu, snaking sach ' a noise that his wife said, " Don't matte such a noise, or you will wake the othor people in the house." Mr. H. J. Hansard, surgeon, described 'the wound. The shots came down from the direction of 'the.top and. back of the head and neck. One of the Shots hit the neck, and penetrated very near to the jUgular vein: Some of the shot strnek him, in the'side, and-one in the foot. Those in the -hand' had not been exttadtfldi By the, advice of Sir B. Brodie it has been determined not; to attempt to extract there. Soine of the shot i 9 now in" the muscular part of the Ora of the hand. - Could not say at what distance ,th r e shot was fired: There were. thirty-five shot holes in the hand; .twenty grairisof shot struck the hand. There were three 'shot holes so close that they could not be pat closer if he held theshot in his hand. Was for some period apprehensive of lockjaw; as it' was likely to arisefromwounds in'that part... • Cross examined—Theyoseciaor was out for the first time the dayheinaar. „ fake effe-evaa. stadio - his -bed the greater Oki Itrtibila, Brodie's directions. I have hoPes that the hand will ul timately be quite well. Thomas Lucas, the city marshal, said he had a con versation with the prisoner about eight o'clock on the Thursday morning, and' he said he thought he had pep pered them well, as he saw a hand on the gun. • Mr. PIGGOTT, in addressing the jury, commented with severity ou the conduct of the prosecutor and his friends, who having themselves set the law at defiance, and at tacked the house of a person who never offended them, and was a total stranger to them, now turned round and claimed the vengeance of the law on the man whom they had injured. He contended that there was no sufficient ground for imputing to his client any of the motives for firing the shot assigned in the indictment, and that he ought to be acquitted. Ills LORDSHIP, in summing up, told the jury that if they were satisfied the prisoner fired at the prosecutor with intent to do him grievous bodily harm, they ought to find him guilty, unless he satisfied them that he filed the shot under circumstances which justified him in doing so. If ho fired at the prosecutor's hand with intent to hit it, it must have been with an intention to do gricveus bodily harm. It could not be said that a man could put a quantity of large shot into another's hands without in teading to injure him. The next question was, whether he was excused or justified in firing? If you are attacked on the highway, and your life or person put in peril, you may resort to firearms for your defence. So, if your house is attacked in the night, in a manner to lead you to suppose that the parties attacking mean to break in, and you have no other reasonable means of defence, you may use firearms for your protection. But he took it to be perfectly well ascertained that no trespass to personal pro perty or to land wiilj uatify a man in using firearms against the trespasser. There was a remarkable instance of this in the case of Captain Moyat, who having been greatly an noyed by trespassers on his land, gave notice that he would shoot uny one whom he found trespassing, and having in a few days met a man trespassing actually carried his threat into execution, shut him, and was hanged for it. So important was it considered that it should be known that you could not justify the use of firearms for an injury to land. He had watched the de meanour of the witnesses, and he must say, making every allowance for young men just beginning life, that they exhibited a most remarkable disregard of what was due to their fellow-men—a most remarkable absence of any perception of what was due to others, or of what was likely to be tne consequence of their own misconduct. His Lordship, after dwelling ou the material portions of the evidence, concluded by telling the jury that as the prisoner could have no reason for supposing that the young men were about to attack his house, DA they were merely displacing his cannon, not attacking his doors or windows, he was not justified in firing at them, and that it was their duty to find him guilty, and then it would be for those who had to administer the criminal law of the country to consider the punishment which ought to be 'imposed. The jury deliberated for about ten minutes, and re turned a verdict of Not Guilty, which was received with some marks of applause that were instantly checked in court, but were renewed outside when the prisoner ap peared there. the old . gentletnan to bed, and, bidding him. good night, locked his outer door, as was her habit,. and took away the key. On the following morning, early, her husband found that the door w as spa', and on going to the o ld man's bedside, learned from him that in the middle- of the night, three men entered- his bed-room, one -ofwhoin, went.through the idle precaution 'of lying down on the invalid to keep him quiet after giving him a black eye, while the two others, ,who had cabbage nets over their faces, took hie watch from his pillow and ransacked his drawers ; which done, they all decamped, threatening the frightened cctogenarian with violence if he dared to get up and follow them or alarm his neighbours. The other witnesses in the case showed that the pri soners 'and another man since convicted.for horse steal- Mg, had disposed of the shawls at a house at St. Ives, on the day after the robbery, while they Bath, on the occa sion of their recent`capture at Northampton fair, made statementt tending to implicat e th emse l ves 'in the affair. Eventually the prisoners were both fohnd Guilty,where upon his Lordship sentenced them to be severally trans ported for ten years. FREEHOLD ESTATE, ADWICK HALL, near DONCASTER.

CROWN COURT,—(Before Mr, Justice Wmaanta.) • - Richurd Depledge, aged 40, was charged with' haiing, at Swinton, in the West Riding, on the 7th of October Jest, feloniously embezzled a post letter containing 1/.,55., the property of the ,Poetmaster-Genervl.' • Mr. Knowles, Q.C., and Mr. Adolphus prosecuted; Mr. Overend defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was in the employ of the, Post-office, as post-messenger between -Swinton and Bel ton-upon-Dearne, in the West Riding, and it was his dtity to carry letters between Swinton and Bolton-upon- Marne, to receive letters at the villages between those two places, and to deliver them at the post-office at Swinton. One of the villages was Bamborough, where William Lyell, a blacksmith, resided, who on the 3d of October in the last year deliveied tq the prisoner a letter, in which was e nclosed 11. 5i., - urichidh.wat - adrlxesseeL to Messrs. Stead and Simpson, at Leeds. This letter the prisoner was to deliver and get registered at Swinton post-office, Lyell giving him sixpence for that purpose. Some days having elapsed, Lyell not hearing anything respecting the letter wrote to Stead and Simpson con cerning it. This letter he likewise delivered to the prisoner to post at Swinton. No answer being sent to this second letter, he wrote by another means to Leeds, and then discovered that neither of the letters had ever been delivered at their destination, upon which he spoke to the prisoner, and asked him for the registry from the Swinto n o ffice. The prisoner replied that he had the registry, and that he would bring it the next day ; but instead of bringing the registry, he paid Lyell the 11. 5i., and also the 6d.i for registration. Lyell then took no further proceedings in the matter, but some other irregularities having occurred, the Post-office caused an inquiry to be instituted, the result of which was that the prisoner was apprehended and the present prosecution ordered. • By F.

It is impossible to describe the interest excited throughout the whole line from the Palace to the Guildhall. Thousands of foreign ers thronged the Park and the streets, every window was crowded, every voice seemed raised to show the visitors to the English nation haw the people loved their Queen. The Illumination was worthy of Vic occasion. Her Majesty conferred the highest honour to the ci- tizens by attending the entertainment, and did immense service to trade. Every one was anxious to dress well in honour of the day, and this caused thousands to sport new garments. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON were fairly run upon for their superior summer dresses, but vie immense number of hands they ke' p to replenish the stock as it goes off, enabled them to meet all the demands, though it was perfectly unexampled. Messrs. E. MOS S and SON have now established, by years of trial, the reputatioti of their clothing; they have convinced the fashionable vorld, as well as the economist from obligat on, that their clothing is equal to any in the world for qua lity, and not more than i.alt tAs price. In honour of the Great Ex hibition, Messrs. E. MOSES and SON have thrown open .heir gi gantic Mart in Aldgate to the public, whether purchase:B or not. that they may inspect the unrivalled specimens of Engl,sh embroidery, executed by E. MO,ES and 31N, and far surpassing any specimens in the Crystal Palace, and the th ussuids of visitors who attend daily express their astonishment at the magnificence of their "dresses and decorations," the order, system, activity, and capacity of their enor mous establishment, where hundreds are employed, and thousands of dresses sold diiiy, without the slightest bustle or irregularity, and Messrs. E. MOSES and SON request everybody to pay a visit and be judge for himself. Also S Fares from London & Back tarting from Mx.

He further con tended that the prisoner could not be convicted under the count fa. simple larceny. Mr. KNOWLES, in reply, urged that under the Post office Act a letter was deemed to be a Post-office letter directly it was placed in the hands of a letter-carrier. The fact that some collateral directions bad been gives to the carrier did not divest it of its character as a Post office letter. * the 0 3 .? 5 , 1 1 ELET, " was some ° IP ; Selecciao lerefOre Vv) MernWri d Tick ets available f or t h e return journey by t h e t ra i ns d ue E n Lon don It 2. 0 and 10•0 ,p.m., any day up to, and including, the S‘starday following date of issue. tbParties taking Tickets far Norwich, Yarmouth, or Lowest eft, will permitted to ali g h t at Cambridge or Ely, a d they may resume Journey by the first morning train, any day up to, and including larednes lay, without any additional payment.

OVEREND addressed the jury for the prisoner, urging upon them the supposition that the prisoner might have lost or forgotten the letter, and finding that Lyell was the loser, he had reimbursed him the money which had been lost through his negligence. His LORDSHIP having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of Guilty generally. The prisoner was then charged with having embezzled another letter and 2s. 9d., the property of the Postmas ter-General. In this case a Mrs. Elizabeth Seller, who keeps the Station Hotel at Swinton, having written a letter addressed to her grandson, Walter Greaves, of San Francisco, California, gave it to the prisoner on the sth of December last, with :is. 9d to pay for the postage. At the same time she told him that she had written many letters to her grandson, and that some had not arrived at their destination, which had caused great uneasiness to her grandson. The prisoner replied, " You should have let me write upon it, and then it would have been sure to have gone safely;" upon which she got him a pen, and he wrote something upon the letter, which turned out to be the words " and no one else," written after the name Walter GreaveS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 15. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. ➢lajority against the Earl of Derby's motion for a Select Committee respecting the affairs of the Cape of Good Hope. ARCHBISHOP. Dublin DUKES. Argyll Norfolk EA.LLS. Grey llarroA-by Leitrim BARONS. Carringtou Craw., orth Churshill De Alauley ' C - ROWN COURT.--e(Bsfore Mr. Justice ERLE.) Joseph Caudwed, 41, was indicted for shooting at `, Alexander-Henry Ross, oil the 26th June last, with in , tent to maim, to disable , and to do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Keating, Q.C., and.i. Mr. Crippe, appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Fil gi )tt and Mr. fludclleston for the defence. Flom the opening state :cent* of the' case for the pros seeationif appeared the it the prisoner had for several years carried on business in Oxford as an accountant and bill discounter. Sor ce,e time ago he built a house over the Folly-bridge, at rOxford. The house was of an odd and fantastic appear nce—tall, standing by itself, covered with figures, ar a t altogether presenting a re markable appearance. inter° was an inclosure between it and the road in which ihe had placed several cannon of heavy calibre, and pre e elating to casual observers a very formidable appeals ,nce. There were two guns pointing on the Abingdone road, over the Isis, and tnree others were secured to the, wall of his house by strong chains passed through ri vats. This house excited con siderable observation, and. was likely to attract the at tention of the young stud e nts who flocked to the uni versity. There was apa rty on the evening of the 25th of Juue at the chambers r )i' Mr. Ross, and as they were going home some of them thought, by way of a lark, to divlece the prisoner's ca a;aon. They went towards his house, and then arose this transaction which formed the subj: at of this indictment. Alexander Henry Ros s, who appeared with his arm tied up in a sling, . am a commoner of Christ Church. On the mornityg of the 26th of Juno was out with Mr. Haggard, Mr., and Mr. Burton, about half past twelve. After some conversation, as we were going home. some one s lid, " Lot us go down to Mr. Caudwell's;" and we wee When we got tecre, one of us opened the gate of the: small enclosure in front of Mr. Caudwell's house. The enclosure extends about fifteen prds from the gate t o the house. We immediately tried to overturn three small cannon. We partially overturned them. Whil er that was going on we heard a dog bark, and we went :after the dog. We were away about five minutes. On sour return we all went into the enclosure and tried to pull stone bones out of the mouths of some figures of lions which were near the house. I went to untie a piece of r opt attached to one of the can• nobs, in order the better s, o pull out the bsnes. While I was doing so I heard at. shot fired. That was the first intimation I had of anythi eg. The shot bit me all over the right part of the le )44, shoulder, head, face, neck, side, and legs. I at on ©s ran off to the bridge and called to my friends. Th sy came and walked house with ' me, one of them going in advance for a doctor. I have been since ander medionl attendance. lam quite un able to make use of my ha ad. Several shots still remain in my hand, and one rein sins in my ear. Cross-examined—l have bean four years at the uni versity. Am twenty- tw o . Was residing out of college at the time. My friends also were residing out of col lege. The college ga to s are shut at ten. Between twelve and half-past twrsl ye men cannot get into college. I had two friends that evening with me at my rooms. There was a supper party that evening at the Maiden head, arising out of a cricket match. I went there. Did not drink there. Ha d a cigar there. Stopped there about twenty minutes. Then I sallied out. My friends were pith me. It was at Four-gate that some one proposed to go to Caudwell's. I did not object. We bad no fixed plan. All tl tat was said was, "Let us go to Caudwell's." We did not overturn the cannon. We partially piled them. W e did not endeavour to throw them into the Isis. We could not do it. My hand was on a cannon when I was hit. I was trying to loose a ropes iu order to pull the sstoneasout of the lion4-tamatih , The whole of the lion sticks out of the wall. In the mouth of the lion there is a bone made of stone. The lions are fixed to the wall. While I was detaching the rope, the others were trying to pull the bones out of the lion's mouth. It was a pretty dark night. There was no lamp. It was so light that a person looking out of the window with his head outside of it could see me. I should not call it a very dark night. We do not calculate con sequences when we go out on a "lark." I was only two yards from the bottom window, and five yards from the door. The lower window is so low that a person could get into it without a ladder. We did not go to the back of the house that night. There was a proposal made to swim across, but it was too absurd. The shots came in a slanting direction. If a person projected his head out of the window, and I looked up, there was light enough to see it. I was never on an excursion before to Caudwell's house. It was my first exploit at Oxford. At Bromley last year I took a sign off a house. The next morning we gave the man two sovereigns as compensation. We were not taken before a magis trate. There was no evidence against us. That was the first occasion I was engaged on any mischievous freak. Re-examined—A large number of the university men reside in the town, and that is well known in the town. Mr. C. Haggard said that it was he who opened the gate. We upset the cannon. We had been at Caudwell's ten minutes before we heard a dog bark. We then crossed the road, loosed the dog, chased him up the street and then came back and began to pull the bones out of the lions' mouths. We were there about five mi nutes when we heard a shot fired. I heard nothing be fore that. When I heard the shot I saw a flash, but could not say from what part of the house the shot came. After we had seen the surgeon dress the wounds we went hick to Mr. Caudwell'e house and flueg stones at it, and heard a second shot fired. Cross-examined—The stones we threw were about the size of an ink bottle. They were a comfortable size for throwing. Perhaps a comfortable size for breaking a window or a person's head. One of them broke a fl .wer-pot. I have been tb ree years at the University. !lave taken my degree. Do not knew what profession mean to follow. I should think it is the bar. I was one of the party that was at Godstow on the Friday pre vious. We were ten in number. We landed at Caud well's house. When we reached his house I went away, leaving the rest enere. I heard of no plan to attack his house that night. If any of the party had stones, they picked them, up without my knowledge. On the Wednesday evening I dined at the Maidenhead, at the cricketing dinner. I think I drank nothing but wine. I was not in t'ne least excited. This attack was planned when I was quite sober. My friends also were not excited. I do not remember what plan was suggested for attacking Mr. Caud well's house. The suggestion of going to his house was made when we were opposite Christchurch. Somebody said, "Let us go and have a let k with Mr. Caudwell's cannon." We all agreed at once. There was not much dissension. Our intention was to turn the cannon ever. We did not mean to throw thew into the Isis. I did not know that Caudwell had a wife and children and a sister-in-law in his house, or that his wife's head had been cut open by one of the stones. We four could not throw tne cannon into the Isis; we were perfectly incompetent to do it. I tried to pull the bone out of the lion's mouth, but soon gave it up. Re-examined—l have heard since that his wife was nut by a stone. Mr. Henry Bruce Arnold corroborated these state ments. Cross-examined—l was one of the Godstow party on the previous Friday evening. We threw no stones. We merely tried to overturn the cannon, and gave it up only because a voice was heard from inside threatening to shoot mi. I went back with Mr. Haggard that Thursday morning, and threw stones at the house. Did not near that drs. Caud well's head was cut by ono of the stones. Was never at Caudwell's house before the Friday. Mr. Reginald Burton was examined briefly in corro boration of the former witnesses. Cross-examined—Am not a member of the university. Was one of the Godstow party. lam nothing. lam 21. William Hinton, ono of the university policemen, was Caudwellon dut y on n thear thev morning hea of h e t he 2 a f a o'clo c k.

H e to ld me t h ey h a d b een at his house and upset his guns, and he had fired at them. I went in pursuit of them. I met Jenkins, another policeman, and we both went to Cauilweli's house. None of the windows were broken; a flower-stand was broken. There were five cannon beer° the house; all had been removfd, and one upset. There was a trace of blood there. Caudwell told me he believed the par ties who had been to his house were gentlemen, and he aske d me who ' were the p roctors, and I told him the ono of St. ;Tau 8, and the other of Merton. I saw the sbct on the gun that was upset, and said to him, "They are rather , large s h o t, M r.

Thomas Jenkins o , n an t o h t e her h u ur ni e v d e a r y sity m p o o r i n i i c n e g mai t t eL t M. with last witness ` 1 72- Baron 1 1 ,%qt-a•ris , Thomai Ash, descrild in the calendar es a smith by trade, twenty-six years of age, was charged with having broken and entered a dwelling-house of William Tucker, and with having wounded him and one Anne Whittaker, with intent to murder them. Mr. Skinner and Mr. Lawrence conducted the prose cution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Carrington. The prosecutor (who is a very old man, in the ninety second year of his age) is one of the vergers of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and resides at Clarence crescent, in that town. On the night of Tuesday, the 18th of February, he had retired to rest, as usual, at nine o'clock. In the apartment in which he slept his housekeeper (Mrs. Whittaker, an old woman of seventy two) occupied a bed, in order that she might be able to render assistance to the old man in case of sudden in disposition. About half-past one o'clock Mrs. Whit taker was awakened by the entrance of a man, and on jumping out of bed she perceived there was a light in the passage leading to the room. Before she could speak to the intruder, or call for assistance, she was struck several times over the head with a blunt iron in strument; her eyes were suffused with blood, and she felt great pain in one of her arms, which afterwards proved to be broken. The old man Tucker was awakened by this dis urbunee, and, hastening to the assistance of his housekeeper, was attacked by the burglar, and struck violently over the head. Notwithstanding the repeated blows and ill-usage which ho received, ho managed to push the assailant out of the room. All this time a man was standing at the dour with a lighted candle. Tine old man was positive that the prisoner, Thomas Ash (who was well knozn to him from having been repeatedly at his house, and on one occasion employed in fitting up a grate there), was the man who struck him, and denied that he had eves, se tar as he knew, given a different account of the transaction. Whilst Tucker was struggling ith the robber, Lis hous.k,eper remade her way to the winduw, and shouted " Murder" and " Police, upon Which both the men made off. In addition to the direct evidence of the old man, who spoke positively to the identity of the prisoner, the fol lowing facts also appeared in evidence :—On the morn ing a) ter the robbery a bricklayers chisel was found about 100 yards from Mr. Tucker's house, in an adjoin ing garden. This chisel, which belonged to a brick layer named Poilbey, had been borrowed by the pri soner of a man named Prince, with whom he lodged, a abort time before the robbery. In Mr. Tucker's hous3 a wine-bin had been broken open, aed the marks on the wooden fastening ut the door appeared to have been made by this chisel, and on comparison corresponded with it. On the night of the robbery the prisoner came home about two o'clock, and was let in by his landlord, Prince. In addition to these facts it was found that the prisoner's shoes corresponded exactly with footmarks in some flesh dug ground under the window of Mr. Tucker's house, which had been entered on the night of the robbery. Conversations were also deposed to, which tended CO fasten suspicion on the pri- Boner. Mr. Baron MARTIN having summed up the evidence with great care, The jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. _ _ The prisoner was Eentencod to be transported for the erm of his natural life. NORFOLK CI RCUlT.—Bedford, July 16. Mr. Justine Cresswell opened the commission for the county of Bedford yesterday afternoon, and this morn ing proceeded to try the prisoners. There being but seven prisoners in the calendar, and no cause entered for trial, Sir F. Pollock did not take any part in the business of the assize. Among the offences included in the calendar were four of of arson, one of burglary, one of malicious shooting, and one of larceny. John Emmerton pleaded guilty to two charges of arson; Thomas Dumpleton pleaded guilty to one charge; Thomas Gower, who pleaded not guilty to a similar charge, but had confessed, was tried and found Guilty. Mr. Justice CRESWELL, in sentencing these three pri soners, said that the offence of arson was s o p ro fi tless to the offender, and yet so ruinous to the farmer, as t o ca ll for severe punishment. Other offences against property might possibly be prompted by the hope of some trifling immediate gain to their perpetrators, but arson had a contrary tendency, as those whose property was thus wantonly destroyed were thereby deprived of the very means of employing and assisting the poor. It was clear that the prisoners were persons to allow whom to remain longer in this country would be most improper. The sentence, therefore, on each of them must be that of transportation for ten years. Samuel York, aged 36, and William Morris, aged 31, wore indicted for burglariously entering the dwelling house of Thomas Medlow, at Little Staughton, and steal ing therein two shawls, five guinea pieces, two sovereigns, a wa.ch, and some pork, on the 17th of Feb. last. Mr. Worlledge conducted the case for the prosecution. The prisoners were not defended by counsel. Th e prosecutor is perhaps the "oldest inhabitant" of his pariah, being 87 years of age. Till within three weeks of the burglary he was up and about. h at at that time he took to his bed, where he has since remained. 13eing alone in the world , and u n provided with eith er relative' or servant, a kind neighbour, by name Hannah Caress, used to visit him and perform on his behalf those offices, which, " when pain and . antuish wring the brow," con stitute woman man's " Enliaisterilig It appeared that on the night of the 17th February, Mrs. Carets put 3iiMto Morley Duffe in Scarborough Elphinstona MARQUISES.

The second list of the causes entered for trial has been published to-day, from which it appears that there are only 37 causes, 9 from the North and East Ridings, and 23 from the West, being a very great falling off from the usual amount of business; 7 of the causes are marked as special juries. THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. Yesterday was the third day of the meeting, and an immense concourse of people, native and foreign, flocked to the show. The yard was crowded with visitors, and the animals collected in it were handled and examined with an avidity and a zest which says much for the agri cultural spirit and tendencies of the country. On no former occasion has anything like it been seen. All the principal prizes were in a permanent state of siege, and it was only after much pushing and squeezing that even a glimpse of them could be obtained. Everybody seemed delighted with the display, and the happy situa tion of the fete appeared to add to the regular attrac tions of the occasion. The day had been fixed upon a, that for the grand pavilion dinner, and at three o'c'ock it was curious to observe how those who had provided themselves with tickets emerged from the showyard, and gradually took up their places at the entertain ment. In the short space of an hour about two thou sand guests had assembled, who waited anxiously for the arrival of the mere distinguished per sonagea. At last they came, headed by his Royal High ness Prince Albert, and all rose to receive them. The vast banquetting saloon filled with people presented a very animated and striking spectacle—oue not very re concileable with the idea of a declining agriculture, and this impression was still further strengthened when cheers arose from hundreds of powerful lungs, and hands were clapped with a vehemence and force quite astounding. At last the great assembly settled down to the business of eating and drinking, and for a time no thing could b e h ear d b ut t h e c l atter o f plates, the grind ing sound of knives and forks and the mastication of jaws, carri e d on w i t h t h e energy o f rustic appetites. Mr. Holt, of Radley's Hotel, had furnished the pro. visions, which were its every respect excellent, and gave general satisfaction. His Grace the Duke . of Richmond presided, a n d i n th e a b sence o f Earl Dame, who was kept away by indisposition, Lord Portman acted as Vice-President.

After the appetiles of the hungry mass of agricul turists had been sufficiently s a ti s fi e d, The "Jake of limaxou> rose and proposed the "health of her Majesty the Queen"—a toast which he said had ever been received by the members of the Royal Agriculture' Society of England—and, indeed, by every other public meeting—with the enthusiasm which it so well deserved.—(Cneers.) He trusted that she might long reign over a great, a free, an enlightened, a moral, a religious, and, therefore, a happy and a constitutional peo p l e. — (Cheere)—and that it might please the great Creator of the universe long to guard and protect a life eo justly dear to her subjects.—(Cheers.) They were met there th at day by the kind and gracious permission of their Sovereign, under the walls of the ancient Castle of Windsor, hallowed by its historical recollections.— (Cheers.) They were also not far distant from that great seminary of learning, the College of Eton, whence had issued many of the most eloquent statesmen, the most pious divines, and also (he might be Vermitted to say as an old soldier) many brave and heroic warriors, both by sea and land.--(Cheerik) Le a would mention among these the name of one of the 4roatest generals of this or. any former age—his Grace the Duke of Welling ton.—(Cheers.) He called on them to give three hearty British cheers to the toast which he had preposed— cheers which might be re-echoed from the turrets of Windsor Castle—(Cheers)—that would prove to her Majesty that the agricaltueists of this empire over had and ever would be loyal and Et17013.U0115 supporters of the institutions of our fatherland, and devoted to the person of her Most Gracious Mejesty.—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk with immense enthusiasm. The Duke of RICHMOND then rose and said, that in the presence of the illustrious Prince, who had for the second time honoured the society with his presence, it would ill become him to say more then that they were most obliged to his Royal Highness for coming among them.—(Cheers.) They were most obliged to him for the continued and an x i ous support which he had given to the Royal Agricultural Society, and he was only speaking the sentiments of the meeting, and that of the great majority of the people of England, when he said that they felt most deeply grateful to his Royal Highness for the example of domestic virtues which he had set, and which bad made the home of their beloved Queen the abode of comfort and of happiness.—(Cheers.) lle coupled with the toast the health of his Royal High ness the Prince of Wales and the other breeches of the Royal Family, who he trusted would act up to the prin ciples instilled into their youthful minds, and would prove a blessing to their fatherland, an ornament to their station, end a comfort to their illustrious parents, whose steps be hoped they would follow.—(Cheers.) He was sure that by the manner in which they received the toast proposed by him, the company would show his Royal Highness that he was surrounded by the farmers of England, and that their cheers would be as their actions, loud and straightforward.—(Cheers.) His Royal Highness Prince ALBERT, who was re ceived with immense enthusiasm, said My Lord Duke—my Lords and,Gentlemen,—l cm very sensible of the honour which you have done me in proposing my health, and I can assure you, gentlemen, that the kind way in which you have responded to the toast will never be forgotten by me.—(Cheers.) Some years have already elapsed since I last dined with you in this migratory pavilion; and I am glad that you should have pitched it this day under the walls of Windsor Castle, and that I should myself have an opportunity of bidding you a hearty welcome is the Hoine-parle.—(Cheers.) Your encampment singularly contrasts with that which the barons of England, the feudal lords of the land, with their retainers, erected round Old Windsor Castle, on a similar mead, though not exactly in the same locality.— (Cheers.) They came then clad in steel, with lance and war-horse. You appear in a more peaceful attire, and the animals you bring with you to the meeting are the tokens of your successful cultivation of the arts of peace. King John came trembling amongst his subjects, unwillingly compelled to sign that great charter which has ever since been your birthright. —(Cheering.) Your Sovereign came confiding among her loyal and loving people; she came to admire the results of their industry and to encourage them to persevere in their exertions; and the gratification which the Queen has felt at the sight of your splendid collection must, I am sure, be participated in by all who examine it.—(Cheers.) I am doubly pleased at this success, not only because it is wit nessed by the many visitors from foreign lands now within our shores, whom every Englishman must wish to inspire with respect for the state of British agriculture —(Cheers)—but also because I feel, to a certain degree, personally responsible for having deprived you of one, generally most interesting, feature of your show—l mean the field fruits, and the agricultural machines and implements. Though separated from your collection, they are seen to great advantage in another royal park —(Cheers)—and you will have been glad to hear, that whatever the difficulty may have been in deciding upon the superiority of the works of industry and art sent to the Crystal Palace, by the different nations of the earth, the British agricultural implore -eats are acknowledges by common consent to stand there almost without a rival. —(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Let me now use the privi lege which your President has allowed me to enjoy, in proposing to you as a toast Prosperity to the Royal Agricultural Society.'—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) To its exhibitions, the means of comparison which they have afforded, and the emulation which they have stimulated we owe to a great extent the progress which British agriculture has made of late.—(Cheers.) To this society belongs the honour to have been cne of the first to appreciate the value of such exhibitions, and to have, from the beginning, liberally and fearlessly ad mitted all competitors without restriction. I drink, Prosperity to the Royal Agricultural Society."' His Royal Highness resumed his seat amidst loud applause. The Duke of RicamoteD proposed the " Health of the Foreign Ministers," coupling with it that of his Excel lency the Belgian Ambassador. M. VAN DE WEYER, the Belgian Minister, who was received with loud cheers, said that it was with feelings of deep gratitude ho rose on behalf of his colleagues and of himself, to return their most sincere thanks for the manner in which their health had been re ceived by the present company. He could assure them that among the various foreign visitors who had come to their shores there was not ono who had not by their kind reception felt himself perfectly at home. lie might well be allowed to speak on the present occasion, as it had been from Flemings that bad been taken the very modes of their scientific and ordinary agriculture. The day had, indeed, long passed away since a messenger had been sent over to Flanders to provide a salad for the Royal table. The agricultural system of the Flemings had, however, been the object of one of the first publications of the society, in the communications read by the Rev. Mr. Rham. Proud as Belgians were to claim the title of being the oldest practical farmers in Europe, and boasting as they did, with what justice the meeting before him beet knew, that they were still the foremost in certain most important points of agriculture, he acknowledged they all still looked up to England and to the society whose successful labours in struggling for preeminence they all admitted to have been the result of their industry and psrseveraeoe. By the established relations between the citizens of Belgium and of Eng land they were now intimately allied, more particularly by the connexion which existed between the two Royal Families of the kingdoms of Belgium and of England, and which was in effect an union of habits, of tastes, of in dustry, and of similar institutions. Instead of contain ing diplomatic dispatches, the red boxes that now were sent from the Minister here to his Court abroad often contained but remarks on agriculture and stock in Eng land, After an eloquent and very effective speech, which was the more remarkable as coming from a foreign Mi nister, his Excellency concluded by proposing in the most flattering and eulogistic terms the " health of the Duke of Richmond."—(Cheers.) The Duke of RICHMOND returned thanks. He was proud of being the President, and though many more able than himself should have occupied the post, there was no one who more deeply felt an interest in the agri cultural welfare of that great country. Ile was proud, too, in being enabled to introduce to his Royal Highness so many intelligent, honest, and straightforward tenant farmers. He considered there never had been an occa sion on which there had been so many animals of the first class congregated together. The judges bad not commended his stock, but still he would follow the example of one of the most successful exhibitors, and if beaten now he would try to be successful next year at Lewes. His Grace, after a lenghthened address, which was highly applauded, wished the agriculturists better times, and called en Lord PORTMAN, who rose to propose "Agriculture, Manufacture, and Commerce," which he did in a very able, argumentative, and amusing speech, showing, with much clearness and ability, the connexion between the different subjects of the toast he proposed. Ho was in trusted with a toast that was in effect " the earth and all that therein is." The glass they drank from, the knife they used, the plate which held their food, were all made by the manufacturer from material supplied by the mer chant, who had brought for their use the products of different portions of the globe. To those who had come there by rail he needed not to speak of the utility of iron, nor to agriculturists was it neceasary to speak of the uses of glass; there was, however, in another royal park a combination of iron and glass which was new not only in its uses, but which had taught them all to live in u nison, in harmony, and peace. Our daily life testified to the fact that commere was the link which bound the etre capi talist and artist to the raw material; that in 1.4 was the work of civilized and intellectual man; ect to man a t . n h u at agri culture was the perpetuity of the work assigned by the Almighty will. All in that unity,t,..7,..ad,m_iried, all in that unity they respected; but be r e " " u De lieved they all did, as the child loved his mother best of all;so they all lo ve d the earth.—(G re at cheering.) Th ey loved it as their first love; they loved it as the source whence they sprang, and they re g arded it, after the cares and sorrows of the wor ld were over, as their last home.—(Cheers.) He gave t h em , " A gr i culture, Com merce, and Manufactures, and long might they flourish together."—(Loud cheers.) Mr. LAWRENCE the American Mini s t er, whose health , was proposed by the Noble Preside n t, returned thanks, and after som e allusions to the ties of consanguinity be tween the people of Great Britain and the inhabitant of the United States, which ho said were felt by all Ame ricans with peculiar force on such an occasion—and after ex pressing the great satisfaction he felt at being present at a u assemblage like that, held under the walls of the Castle, which was hallowed to every American eitizni of English origin by so many rEcolli coons—conclu ded with a high culogium on the Duke of IVenniond, and then gave " The health of the Mayor and Corporation of Windocor." t eet4 - resee ;,) Vig r t : Tho Mayor of W INDSOR re t u r ne d thanks 41 Vt ts length. . e4V. 1 4 ,1 7 --k Mr. MILES, M.P., gave as a toast, "The Steis the Yard, and the Judges of the Show," in doing s eta/eI:S,A ! he '"j congeatulated the society' upon its mop . play of stock, and its increete of one-third upore hers of last year. lj tt!N c : 4 ‘ Mr. FISHER Hones responded, and said that the man ner in which the toast had been received went far to as sure him the company awarded to him and his brother judges perhaps the most subsitantial compliment that an Englishman could pay or receive, viz., the acknowledg ment that he had done his duty. After paying a well merited compliment to Mr. Brandreth Gibbs, the hono retry director of the show-yard, Mr. Fisher Hobbs pro ceeded to congratulate the society on its splendid show of stock, whica was not only numerically greater, but superior in quality to any former show,—(Cheers.) A great desire was felt among farmers to improve their breeds of stock, as it was found -that superior animals were the only ones that would pay, and that it was not only for the advantage of the producer but of the con sumer that those beasts with the smallest amount of bone and the largest of flesh should be chiefly encou raged. —(Cheers.) In conclusion, be trusted that the judges for 1851 had proved themselves not unworthy of the great responsibility placed upon thetc.—(Cheers.) Lord ASHBURTON proposed the partners in the far mers' toils, the participators in his gains—" the Agricul tural Labourers." Without them the boasted implements which had for successive days crowded upon their sight would for the most part remain as profitless as the metal from which they were made, when it lay hidden in its native ore fathoms deep under the earth. De prived of the labourer, they would be like generals without soldiers. Nor were the labourers less depen dent upon them; it was from the savings husbanded by their self denial, and the self-denial oi their forefathers, that they were housed and fed and clothed, and fur -1 nished with implements thet multiply an hundredfold the eflisiency of their work ; without their savings the labourers must hsvts lived, like New Zealanders, upon grubs and roots. Alone they would be helpless—alone the farmer also would be well nigh as helpless ; sepa rated he would scarcely raise food to drag on a toil worn existen ce , but united band in hand they rai se d f oo d for the Operative and manufacturer, for the arti s t an d philesophe r , for all who deck oar homes with comforts, for all who center dignity and refinement on the na tional character. Without farmers and their capital, without the labourer and his sinews, these things could not be. An yet there were those who the labourer, who called him r th e o d u e gh a t na lig bn h e t t ly ofdish,who made his ignorance a by word, They said he was uneducated because he knew little of things ahich did not concern his own calling, but, above all, because he was taught to do, and he was not taught to talk, because in this land, where we choose Members of Parliament by their talk and Cabinet Minis ters by their talk, a false test of ability, a false test o f knowledge, a false test of education, had been set up, and by this false test the labourer had been judged. But it was not by this test, it was not by his words, that they should judge him. Let them try him by what he did, and not by what he said. Let them try him by what he knew of his own business, not by what he knew of his neighbour's. Put a plough into his hand ; he could not define a straight line like others taught by rule is set forms of speech, but he could run a furrow mathema tically exact between its extreme points, though they might be as distant as eye can reach. Was there no education there? Did they hold that only to be educa tion which was to be gained in books?—that only to be knowledge which was the development of abstract rules and general ideas? Well, take another case ; give one of these ignorant peasants a quarter of corn; bid him sow it over six, or eight, or ten acres. He would not sit down to pea and ink, and consult books; if he lost hours at that work the world would forthwith dub him a scho lar, and doff its hat to him ; but he wen' straight into the field, and distritcuted the grain so exactly over the space assigned that at the harvest they would see no spot unoccupied, no spot more crowded with plants than another. Was there no education required to give so exact an appreciation of quantity, so intimete a knowledge of the capacity of a given space? Propound the same problem to a philosopher, and the labourer would sow a whole farm before the other could make out his rule, and, when he had his rule, he doubted if he could ever teach a scholar to apply it. But this was not all. He came to the knowledge of the art of farming, an art which had ever formed the delight of the noblest and most elevated characters of all times—an art which exacted from those who practised it ;the power of deal ing with the incidents, occasions, and emergencies, as presented by the varieties of the seasons, by the nature and constitution of domestic animals, by the nature and properties of plants; an art which elevated and dig nified the mind by the perpetual study and constant con templation of God's most interesting works. And yet the labourer so trained, so gifted, was held to be a boor because he could not talk. But they were not led away by this eophitna. Whatever they might do on the hust ings, whatever they might approve in Parliament, they had never chosen their shepherd for his talk. They judged the agricultural labourer by what he could do. they loved him for his honest worth, they revereiced him for his sagacity, for the genius of his instincts; and now, when they were met t oge th er i n t hi s hi g h fes tival, with the magnates of the land, with the distin guished in arts and literature of the civilized world—now teat they had expressed their loyalty to the Throne, their respect for the illustrious Prince, their patron, and the patron ot all that elevan d society--now that they had expressed their gratitude to their distinguished guests for their presence, to their especial leaders and bene factors for their services—they find no toast so satisfac tory to their judgment, so grateful to their feelings, as the toast of the labourer, even though he could not talk. Mr. E. DENISON, M.P., said he rose, by command, to propose " the Sister Societies of Agriculture." It had always been the custom at their annual meetings to speak with grateful respect of their elder s i s t er , t h e Hi g hl an d • Society of Scotland, and to offer their cordial greeting to their younger sister, the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland. He was happy to say that these societies re ciprocated their good feelings. The best proof of the value and estimation in which their society was held in those countries was the increasing numbers which year by year joined themselves to their body. In the last year not less than 22 members had enrolled themselves on their lists. But on the present occasion he asked them to drink " Success to their fellow-labourers in all places, rind to say God speed te all societies engaged in promoting the noble work of agriculture."—(Cheers.) Standit tg as he did, surrounded by visitors from many of our district societies and by many distinguished foreigners, he might urge the toast on the ground of courtesy and becoming hospitality; but he would press it on wider considera tions, in the certain conviction that we might do zt great deal of good to each other in meetings such as. that, Could it be doubted that in a business so purely practi cal, experiments accurately made, and results carefully noted, must be of general advantage?—(Hear. bear.) If ho wished for an instance of the benefit of a wide range of observation and of the stimulating influence of this society he would name the case of the guano trade. Ten years ago the article of guano was unknown for practical purposes in this country. The work of a Ger man professor, noticing the great deposits en tile coast of Peru, was translated into an early number of thseir Jour nal of Agriculture. Loa' Stanley—the Earl of Derby— (Great cheering)—spoke of it at the L . verpool meeting.—(Loud cheers for Lord Stanley, which were repeated again and again.) Amon; t the many things which the voice of Lord l; itanley, bad effected it gave its first impetus to the, tr: tae in guano—a trade which now employed 100,000 . e,ons of British shipping—(Cheers) —and which produced :a re venue of above half a million to the Governor of ;Peru, from which (ho it said) the British bondholder was - paid his dividend, for which above 1,000.000!. geeing: was paid every year in this country; with what r es , tits— with what increased verdure to our fields and fer til ley to our crops they knew better than be could t (Cheers.) Again, the important discovery of disoolving bones by sulphuric acid was made by a German chen list; mad following up this discovery there was present an s ong them to-day from across the Atlantic a gentleman„ titles in his eye, who had announced the discovery of a mine ral stratum in the state of New York, rich in the WI compound as that of bones, and which, he was info nate°, could be brought to our shores at such a price es c tiZ place it within the reach of every farmer .--( Ch'l(6rl,l-: Ho feared to weary them w ith t h ese d e t a ils.- 1.. no.)

The Marquis of ABERCORN returned thanks. The " Railway Companies" were then toasted, the compliment being acknowledged by Mr. TnosesoN. The " Health of the President elect," proposed by Earl Powis, closed the proceedings. FOLKESTONE.—An inquest was held yesterday at the Pavilion Shades, on the body of William Impett, who was drowned in the harbour on Monday during the high wind, whilst endeavouring to regain his cap, which had blown otT.
