NEW SPAP ER S! Th newspaper press, we must freely confess, is amusing enough to the nation, And thousands with joy their brief leisure employ, To scan o'er the freaks of each station : There's trips and there's tours, exhibitions of flow'rs, • There's•novelties daily arising, There's good news and bad, there's pleasant and sad, And sights that are really surprising. There's Court news, we own, which must rally the town, The sovereigns of Europe are blend-d! Whilst our spirited Queen, she keeps up a bright scene Of Pstivities truly quite splendid. There's II YA at, likewise, still elicits surprise, By his wonderful clothing so noted ; And frankly we own--there are none in the town, Who can get so nobly supported ! 'Tis his pride to acquire most splendid attire, And yet to sell cheai.-er than any ; Now this is the cause why he gets the applause, And the noble support of the many! For Autumn f.) drear, you will ever find there A Stock which is truly unbounded; 'Whilst his prices are such, you will not wonder much Why his name throughout Europe is sounded!! THE AUTUMN SEASON. The rising sun dispels the hnz. fog, The rigid hoar-fro t melts upon the „round ; And hung on every spray, on every blade. The myriad -.iewttrops sparkle alt ari,und . , Ir. presenting before my oi , tinemehed patrons my arrangements and extensive preparations fel* the present season. I consider it first a paramount duty. combined with a positive pleasure, to return my sincere thanks for the continue success which has for so many years enW led me to produce such novelties as have been entirely unprecedented, and which have given to my u merous establishments, both in England and Scotland, a cha racter hitherto unoarallelled in the annals of Clothing. Immense patronage demands the most decisive proofs of gra. tltude and respect ; and to thos? who have so nobly supported me throughout a long career of mercantile enterprise. I beg leave most respecttrily to tender my grateful acknowledgments. My arrangements for the pres•i-t season are now approaching to a completion, and combine Vesting's. of exrpliite beauty arid shade, In count!ess profusion are tastefulic laid ; The riche,t designs which the loom can supply Delight every fancy and please every eye t In the tour which 1 have recently trade triroughout the Eng lish, kcott sto and o.utioentil markets, I have selected upwa of 6000 of the most mag ificent designs in Vestings, which can not he obtained by a.,.y other house in the kingdom. The is principal styles" are entirely my own property, a. d can only be seen at my establishment ; ;iron aitrioneh I have adopted this novel method of securing the urn-t rechercN designs, yet econo my will he Munn blended with their extreme beauty end dunk bilite.—The Materials which I have selected fine Trouseriues combine every novelty yet introdueed into this country ; the stock being trTly immense, and ne feat. rus so much diversified, it insures to every one the certainty of being pleased. Again, the magnificent display of Materials for Over Coats, For every age and etrton, Are such as must excite in ail The meed of appronstion ! In the above useful garments I have introduced a variety of .now and beautiful fea'ures, and amongst the many novelties may he enumerated the Glenlyon Driving Coat, u e Faris:an Envelope, the Albert Riding, arid the Waterford Walking Coats. Now these are entirely new, and different to any style ye!' intro duced. rind wall he found to possess tin-t gentlemanly appearance so much admired amongst the hint ton. Combining, as my establishments do, the mos: recherche esigns, the greatest no velties, the most scieetilic cutters a d experienced workmen, and yet, from my immense purchases, being enabled to sell 40 per cent. under the usual price, I venture to hope for the kind c:!ntinnance of the favour of my distinguished patrons ; whilst no future efforts of mine shall be waritne to merit their generous support. —I have the honour to be the pullic's obliged servant.

(`CAPTAIN PIDDING'S lIOWQUA'S MIXTURE lIJJ TEA is an admixture of 40 rare Black Teas, produced on as many different plantations, each Tea differing from the rest, and possessinga flavour, a fragrance, or strength, peculiar to itself. Blended together in the proper pro portions, they comprise all that is desirable in Tra. This discovery was not the effect of chance, but of many great advantages united in one individual, and the result of numercus experiments and the most minute analysis. For another to produce the same result, he must possess equal skill, the same discriminating taste, equal power of procuring the forty various Teas required, and know the exact proportions of each kind used—and though he may never once have visited China, he must have had equal opportunities of securing to himself, its productions : with one who, like Captain Pidding, has spent years there in acquiring there advantages, and to whom alone Flow qua—years before his dea'h—imparted at Canton, the secret of compounding his Mixture. Yet there are upwards of 500 retailers pretending to sell tea, they call " Howqua's Mixture"—each mixture dif fering from all the others. Now as there can be but ONE REAL " H.:wqua's Mixture," it follows that, as 500 dif ferent medleys are offered-499 must be spurious. The 499 counterfeits are so many evidences of the superiority of the ONE GENutNie.. And it would be absurd to sucrose that Captain Piddinz, with advantages, the result of Eight Voyages made to China, and five years spent in that country, would be so silly —even were it possible —as to yield them up to 500 others, or impart to them so valuabls a secret. The very great celebrity this Tea has acquired, having tempted many unprincipled persons to give similar, or nearly similar titles to their own spurious mixtures, to guard against such imposition, purchasers should observe that " THE SIGNATURE TB us," Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING, Honourable Company's Service, is on every genuine Package. To those who drink Green Tea, " Captain Pidding's Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder," grown only on one estate, is recommended for it- strength and economy, and as being the purest and most wholesome Green Tea im ported from China. _ _ _ Captain 1 2 'dding has appointed the under Agents for this District : GEORGE CARLYLE, Repository, 38, BOLD -STREET, , Agent for Liverpool.

LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL SHOW. On Tuesday, the annual exhibition of stock and in ple ments took place at the back of Roscommon-street. 'lle exhibition, as a whole, was consid.-red the rat st satislac tory of any that has yet occurred in the annals of the. so ciety; for, although not so extensive in the aggregate, by any means, as some that have preceded it, yet, in all es sential particulars, it has keen pronounced by compe tent judges to he the best as indicative of the general prosperity of the association. The day was one of the finest we witnessed for some lime pest, and the attendance was such as might have been expected. Almost all the noblemen and gesth-me❑ whose names we have enumerated in our acc:Junt of the dinner were present, and took a very lively interest in the I , roceedings. The bulls were first-rate. The cows also were of ex cellent quality and condition. The pigs and sheep were generally above the average description. The show of implements were not very numerous, but w, observed many material improvements in machines for cutting and also in the ploughs. The subsoil plough of Mr. Robert Neilson was particularly noticed vs an iEvprovemeart iu th e turning up of the land, its peculiar working teing that it cut most deep, and with advaLtlge to the soil admitted in a great degree the atmospheric air. A pecu liar kind of cart for agricultural purposes was also exhi bite,l by Mr. liobert&m Gladstone, of Court-hey. It showed in f,rmation how lightly a heavy load might be carried with relief to the hems, in comparison to other carts used for similar purposes. It was a single horse cart weighing about 10 cwt., and capable of carry inz from 140 to 150 •tones of either hay or straw. THE DINNER. The Annual Dinner of the society took place in the evening in the spacious rcom attached to Lucas's Repo sitory. About 25U gentlevien, for the most part large landed proprietors rind extensive turners, sat down on the occasion. The dinner, which comprised all the vari ous delicacies of the s , -asoir, was provided by Mr. Lawton. of the Rainbow Hotel, Williamson-square. The tebtes were arranged in the usual manner. The Right Hun. Lord Stanley, the president of the society, who was 1 udly cheered on entering, occupied the chair.

Alter the usual loyal toasts had been given, his lordship said,—ln rising to propose to you the next toest, " Pros pelity to the Livert 00l Agrculturel Association," I feel it unnecessary to express the satisfaction I feel at seeing myself surrounded by so numerous and respet table an as semblage, gathered together to ie. honour to the institu tion, the anniversary Of which we are enga;el in celebrat ing, and also, 1 would fain hope, to bear, by their pre sence, their testimony of the merits of this and similar institutions in protracting the important obj , cos they arc designed to serve. Those objects are of two-fold te at ac ter, not only it - operant as they tend to increase the faci lities and to increase the cheapness of cultivating the soil of this country, and rendering it more adequate to meet the daily i .creasorg wants of a tepidly augtrieeting popu lation, by the application cf improved science and art to the limited surface of the earth over w'oich we, have com mand; but still more important in their bearing upon tut social relations, htiugir.g together all cles;es of the community—(hear)—landlords, tenants of a Irglier and lower class, and even the labouring classes also, and combined, as I am happy to see on this and similar occa sion, in this locality, with representatives of the great manufacturing, mercantile, and trading classes (Cheers.) I am not able to discuss with you the merits of the parti cular show to-clay, partly for the very good reason that, owing to other business I have not had the opportunity of inspecting it; and next, because if I had, you would hear a better tic:comt of the merits of that show from gentlemen infinitely more competent to express an opi nion that will carry weight. Nor is it my wish to enter into any discussion of the general advantages of societies of this description. I think they are so universally re coeniserl, and recognised practically as well as in theory, that it would be an impertinent waste of your tinie to take it up in and such discussion. In every quarter of the kingdom we find, during the last few years, societies si milar to this have been springing up, and agriculture bus been partaking of the gr as. movement a hielt has been Pervading all the Indust is' branches of this country. Farmers are finding out tint it is necessary for them, with a view to their own interests, to take a very differ ent course from that which was followed by their grand fathers and great-grandfathers. (Hear.) In these days no man is allowed to stand still. Improvement must go on. And I see throughout the country, in every part of it, gratifying proofs that improvement is going on as act lively in the agricultural as in the manufacturing districts and operations of the country. (Cheers.) And although I cannot certainly take upon myself to say positively that because one circumstance takes place immediately after another, therefore that those circumstances stand to each other in the relation of effect and cause, yet I cannot frir a moment doubt the eflect upon the agriculture of the ceuntry. 7 -the effect of communicating information mutu ally possessed, and the effect tithe stimulus arising from competitio n and constant communication—l cannot, I say. doubt the effect upon the agriculture of the country jn mn ea h of th e num b erless institutions of this kind established throughout e k n i e n i g g t hrou . rh ( o l- 0 1 Z a r ri d c A o i n%p d l a f r e the l look positionat our o in which we stand. defective as we still are, and having much to learn, and much to improve in,—yet, whether I 1 o at the farmer's stock, his a rn m o t t o o r f at e i u o l n ti , v a a n ti d on, or his desire for improvement and compare the state of thins now with what it was when, fourteen years ago, I first had the honour of occupying the chair of this s-ciety, 1 hope I am not assuming too much when say, that to the constant meetings and constant inter course carried on between difff-rent classes by means of this society, much of that improverreht is to be traced which no man with an eye in his heal can deny has taken place, and which is most gratifying to those whose inter ests like mine are bound up with the welfare of the agri culture of this district. (Cheers.) Even within the last few years, with n a much shorter time than that which I have named, within the Last four or five years, I. sec strides which, small as they may be compared with what might be done, are gigantic compared with what was done before. I think it is not more than four or five years ago that, et a meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, I fist noticed as a novelty of a singular charac b'r a new ma , lure, known guano, and recommended to the agriculnw iszs of England. (Hear and a laugh.) If I am not misinftrmed, from this 'single port cf Li%erpool there have gout out, within this si , :gle year no less than :50 vessek, chartered expressly f.,r th., purpose of import ing this then unknown manure for the improvement of I ~ . the ;sericulture of the country. - It is not ;thane, however, in matters like this, that we see the usefulness of these eoceeties. I look for much more extended and permanent improvement from their operation. Every where I see old useless fences disappearing, fields enlarging, improved modes of cultivation adopted, and I see going on with im mense rapidity that, which, 1 must again and nail im- I press upon yeti who are connected with the land, is the basis of all improvement—deep and thorough drainage of I the land, and not here alone, but throughout all England, I I see roost rearm kably, as any one indeed may do, even though whirled through the country at the railway speed at which we are now carried, what an extent of improve ment has b'en effected in this respect. Every one is struck with the impearence of preparations for future ex ertions. which are, at the same time. the token of well deserved success. Some of the old formers of this coun try—l mean the real old class—(a laugh)—shrug their , shoulders and say, What is the need of all this stir about. imprevemetto and meking the hied grow so much 1 mere ?" By the bye it is not so much making it grow more, as making it grow different crops—making it grow wheat instead ot weeds. (Hear, hear.) But some say, l " What is the use of all this ? it is, not a que-tion for the Ifarmer. We shall only have our rents increased th e mo r e productive land is." Stich an argument, allow me to.say, is the very climax of absurdity. To use a very homely phrase. it is " cutting off one's own nose to spite one's own face." " Why should I undertake an improvement because my landlord will benefit by it?" appears to me a very inconclusive arid absurd argument. I am not here to dispute the fact, that every improvement in value, every addition by science to the productive power of the land, everything which adds to its fertility, must, in the long run, be an edvantsge to those in whom the fee-sim ple is vested. But the question is, at the same time that it is an advantage to the landlord, is it not also an advan tage to the farmer who occupies the land, and makes his livelihood out of it ? 1 ask no man to ndsetake an im provement if his own good'sense does not lead him to do it. I ask no man to apply any improved mode of culti vation, if it does not appear that his own individual ad vantage would be promoted by so doing. But when far niers argue, that because at the expiration of their te nancy their rents may be increased, it is not worth .while to adopt improvements, I most say, they take a very short-sighted view of their own interests, and must think their landlords very great fuels and blockheads. They must go on the presmuption that although he sees his land might be made more productive, he will be satisfied for the purpose of seeing his own rents low, to anew a slovenly tenant to goon in his slovenly courses. (Ilea - .) The landlord would be as short-sighted as the tenant, if he could take such a view as this. But again I say, I want the tenant not to undertake any improvement that will not repay him capital interest and profit, during his occupation of the laud. (Cheers. This brings me to another question.—es to the degree to which it is desira ble or important that the elect re should prevail of - hold ing land by leasee I speak, I know, in the presence of a noble friend of mind, aged every roan aho knows him is aware that there is riot a kinder or better landlord, or a warmer friend to his tenants and neighbours, than my noble friend on my left. the Earl ref Setton. (Much sip ',tense, the noble earl rising and bowing to his lordship and the company.) I know also it is not ray noble friend's p:ac'ice to let his farms on lease. The great ma jority of his tenants are tenants from year to year, with such entire and Pt rrect confidence in the honour and in tearity of their landlord, that I do not believe that the tact of their having no lease operates disadvantage otis'y in any individual case. But this 1 say, and as one coo riveted with the land, I feel myself bound to say it, that a landlord has no right to expect any great and permanent • improvement of his land by the tenant, unless that tenan be secured the repsyment of his outlay, not by the perso nal character or honour of his laedlord, but by a sectriry which no casualties can interfere with—the security granted him by the terms of a isase for years. (Ap plause.) Ido not speak of a lease for kits. In my ex perience, with some exceptions, wherever I have found fields badly cultivated, and buildings dilaridated. I have found that the property is held under a life lease. (Laugh ter and aeplause.) I speak of a tenant who is prepared to join his capital, and to go hand in hand with his landlord in the improvement ot the farm. The greater the ;int, 'movement you expect, the greater ought to be Vie lease von give. I consider it unjust, if you call for improve ment. not to give to the tenant the moral certainty that the improvement he effeets shall repay him during—the course of his lease for the expense he incurs. (Hear.) I will go frirthertiont this. and say that there are entree expenses ot so permeneet a character, that while I repeat it again, that it is an inadmissible argument again st im provement, if the tenant repays himself for his outlay, that at the expiration of his term he shall leave his land' in e better -tate than he f and it—while I held this to be an inadmissible position, end admit end contend that, in ' proportion to the amount of improvement expected from the tenant, might to be the duration of his lease—l will arid further, that there ate eon e ext eves, more especially with the class of farmers of whom the great majority I are comprised, which it is idle to expect that they should undertake. If they are to add permanent value to the land, they ought to he undertaken by the landlord himself, charging on the tenant such an amount of interest as may repay hitn for the cut'ay he has made, 1 and at the same time afford a reasonable tmetit to the te nant. (Hear.) But, gentlemen, lam not speaking now except of that which again is the haisis of all iteerovement, and especially in this country—the thorough draining of the soil. And I r-peat what I have already said on a for- mer occasion in this room, that there is no investment i in the world in which a landlord can so safely, so usefully, err so profitably invest his capital as in the improvement of his own farm, by money sunk on draining. on security of the land which helongs to himself. (Hear, and cheers) I think I give you a tolerable practical proof of my con viction on this point when I say—and I say it not for the i ursose of boasting of what has le en done, but of eneou- raeiee, others to fellow the example. when 1 say—that on ' my lather's property in this mishboarheod there has been laid down at his expense, end charging five per cent. in terest to the tenants, wt ieh I believe they most gladly and willingly acknowledge they have over and ever againye ceived the tent fit of—in this last year we hare laid down in deep draining somewhere about 3CO miles of drains, net. an expense of totween x5,0e0 and ;€6,000, and, I think, employs d about a minion and a half of draining tiles. (Hear.) By the arrangement I recommend for this pur pose both parties are benefitted ; the land'ord receives an ample return for his outlay; he knows the work is done ' in a substantial and workmanlike manner; and I will ven ture to abide by the declaration of any tenant on that pro perty, whether tire additional amount per acre he has in curred bv having his fields drained, has not been over. and over again repaid by the anneal return arising from the properly. (Hear.) It may be thought that I have trespass on your indulgence, on a point peculiar and personal to myself, at greater length and itt more detail than I was justified in doing. But this is an occasion on which we should freely speak our minds to each other. We meet together as landlords and tenants, and it is t ielit that we should express frankly our own own opinions. I do rot hesitate to exeress mine, as to the mutual duties of land lord and tenant, and the mode by which 1 believe they may effectually combine together for the advancement of tire in; ortant ohjsets in which both are at Last equally interested. 1 believe, en the whole, lamin a position to congratulate you on the present state of this society. I hope the period of its depression is already' pasted. un doubtedly it has been subject to some vicissitudes, and ex eerienced empe losses ; and twoor three years ago it be came involved in debts front which some exertions were recessary to relieve it. I have the sstiefaction of saying that these are paid off; and although that object has been effected by a reduction of some of the premiums, and thereby, in some degree, tire sphere of the society's usefulness, yet we have every rents noble prospect of the income of the society equallirg its expenditure. And though it may be in a more contracted sphere, I hope we shall be able to say we can pay our way', and care dif fuse-to a considerable extent the advantages whi. it insti tution- of this kind sue qualified to afford. If, however, I might hazard such an observation, I would say, anxious as I am for its increasing prosperity, it might be of ad. vantage if its sphere of operations were more extended ; and it the co-oteration and consent of another and similar society in this county could be obtained, great benefit , might be derived from the amalgamation of the Marches- ter society with the Liverpool. (Hear ) Thus enlarging the field of the operations of both, increasing the amount of competition, and the consequent stimulus brought to bear upon the agriculural cla-ises, and combining and increas ing the advantages enjoyed by the respective neighbour hoods. Ido not know if this has been suggested to any of the members of the Manchester society. 1 believe, if the union were effected, it would tend to the mutual ad vantage and increasing prosperity of both.

At about half-part eleven o'clock yes'erday morning her Majesty started from Buckingham Pasee to the scene of this imposing ceremcny, passing along Pall Mall and the Strand to the City, amidst the acclamations of thou sands of her gratilier', subjects. She app: errs i, we rejoice to say, in the best of health and spirits th • rughout the day, and evidently Mt and enjoyed the entousiastic greet ings with which she was received. Along the whole route of her progress the houses, shops, &c., were densely thronged with spectators, and variously, and some su perbly decorated. A detachment of life guards, with a number of the no bility and the cabinet, ministers had previously entered the city to meet tne civic authorities and prepare for her Majesty's reception. At about twelve o'clock, the caval rade reached Temple-tar, the gates of which had been rreviously closed and immediately opened ag , in, to the usual custom ; and on arri,ing there, the royal state carriaee, containing her Majesty, Prince Albert, the mis tress of the robes (Duchess of l3,:ccleugh), and the Master of the Horse (Earl of Jersey), stopped immedi ately under the Bar, where they were rece ved by the Lord Mayor, who handed to her Majesty the City savor l of state, which was graciously received, and returned in the usual form. The cavalcade then proceeded, which the denseness of the crowd in Fieet-street rendered in some places a matter of no little difficulty. Passing up Ludgate-hill and by Sr. Paul's to Cheapside, the scene on each side of the way was magnificent, the streets being literally converted into an amphitheatre, holding the elite of the rank and fashion of the metropolis, and St. Paul's Church-yard itself being filled along the line of the pro. cession with scaffolding containing the fiends of the various City Companies, the bell of Pie Cathedral pour ing out a stream ormelodious rejocing as it passed. The procession proceeded along Cheapside, the Poultry. the Mansion House, to the Royal Exchange, arriving a , the west entrance at a quarter past twelve o'clock, where she was received in state by the whole of the city taut eeri ties, with the Cabinet Ministers and a large. numb: r of the leading ncbility. Her Majesty, with Prince Albert, having examine,l the splendid building throughout, and expressed her warm admirations of its proportions and beauty, the address was presented, alter which her Majesty and suite partook of a splendid dejenner, and returned to her carriage antiu half-past two o'clock, and proceeded to the terminus or the Great Western Railway, where a special train was in waiting to convey the Royal pair to Windsor. 'With the exception of a few casualties and trifling emeules inseparable from such an immense gathering of people in one locality, the whole proceedings eased off to the perfect satisfaction of ail parties. The enthusiastie loyalty manifested towards her Majesty and her Cons )rt throughout the day was never exceeded on the occasion of any Royal visit; and the Duke of Wellington aed Sir Peel were also loudly cheered wherever recognised. Last night was intended to be a night of rejoicing in the City, which was also to be brilliantly illuminated. LONDON MAR KE FS --Yesterday.

WALK THE SECOND, We commence our peregrinations this day where last week we ended them, viz., at the Water Co!our portion of the . Exhibition, which contains several pictures, be sides those already noticed, of great merit. But first let us dispose of one of the pictures in oil, contained in the same room— No. 544. " Morbid Sympathy," by E. Prentis. The subject here is happily chosen, as a hit at one of the most revolting follies of the day. The painting is divided into two scenes. In the first we see a ruffian just issuing from the house in which he has been committing a deed of hi, od. The features of the murderer, the midnight scene, with the dark lantern shedding its baleful light through the open door from which he steals, are power fully painted. In the second scene we see the same tigiee in the cell of a prison, in which he is visited, as an object of the 1 ° morbid sympathy" of the present day, by tw o philanthropic ladies, and an elderly sentimental male tabby of the same species. The features of the hero of the dungeon, in the first scene expressing vulgar brutality combined with natural horror, are here screwed up into an ugly expression of self-satisfied vanity. The murderer has become a " lion " for a time, and is evi deotly making the most of his had eminence. The whole painting is one of the most cutting and wholesome satires, seriously conveyed, ‘lllich we have lately seen. Nos. 492, 493, 501, and 502,—portraits in crayons of Hopwood, Esq. of Hopwood, Lancashire, the Hon. Caul Molyneux, Miss Hopwood of Knowsley, and Viscount Molyneux, by E. Warren,—are excellent specimens of the art. 507, " Durham from the New Bridge," and 498, " Durham," are very spi r it e d d raw i ngs . Th e l atter i s very good. The old abbey, standing out in hold relief in the centre of the picture, is a noble object. 494, " The Pass of Llanberis," by W. Collingwood, is a spirited picture. 473, " Work and Play," by Mrs. TV. Ilirwkins, is a very pretty subject, well conceived, and executed with great skill and taste. 4070, " Newhaven Pier," by Cipley Fielding, is a picture of great merit, by an artist who seldom fails to proAucesamethingworthy of praise. . " The Pedlar," by Miss _Fairhurst, is a very pleasing painting. The boy, who •is bartering his old shoe for some of the wares carried by the old crone, is quite a character ; and the girl, watching the result of her brother's bargain, is well painted. 380, " The Firstborn," by G. 11. Harrison, is a ro mantic affair, well painted, but not very natural. The rustic felicity pourtrayed here is not met with in these hard, utilitarian times. .Bowers of roses are seldom the lot of agricultural labourers, or even 'of small farmers, nowadays. 354, "Alonzo the Brave and the Fair Imogene," by TV. S. Pak:nate/ son, a painting in three compartments, is the story of the old ballad excellently told. The ghostly figure of Alonzo, in the third scene, is ably and effectively conceived. 293, " The Ferry Boat at Butterby, near Durham,' by E. Hastings, is a pleasingly-drawn picture of a very fine landscape. The sky, however, is a little too " beautifully blue" for our northern climate.--The same artist has two other paintings in the exhibition, 231 and 144 ; the latter of which, " The Gamekeeper's Lodge,' is infinitely the most talented. The older of the two tigures in this picture is a very racy specimen of the fine till English class of sportsmen to which he belongs ; and the whole subject is well treated. The dog, how ever, is a sad drawback upon the picture. It is neither a game dog nor any other breed with which we are ac quainted. We understand that this is the first time that Mr. Hastings has contributed any paintings to the Liverpool Exhibition ; and we trust that he will be in duced to favour us with further specimens of his pencil. A GLEAM OF SUNSHINE. BY H. W. LONGFELLOW. (From " the Gift" for 1945.) This is the place. Stand still, my steed, Let me review the scene, And summon up the shadowy past The forms that once have been. The past and present reunite, Beneath time's flowing tide, Like footprints hidden by a brook, But seen on either side. Here Tuns the highway to the town, There the green lane descends, Through which I walked to church with thee, Oh gentlest of my friends: The shadow of the linden trees, Lay loosing on the grass ; Between them and the moving boughs, A shadow, thou didat pass. Thy dress was like the lilies, And thy heart as pure as they; One of God's holy angels Lid walk with me that day. I saw the branches of the trees Bend down thy touch to meet, The clover blossoms in the grass Rise up to kiss thy feet. " Sleep, sleep, to-day, tormenting cares, I if earth and folly born:" Solemnly sang the village choir, On that sweet Sabbath morn. Through the closed blinds, the golden sun Poured in a dusty beam, Like the celestial ladder Of the ancient patriarch's dream. And ever and anon, the wind, Sweet scented with the hay, Turned o'er the hymn-Look's fluttering leaves, That on the window lay, Long was the good man's sermon, But it scenic t not so to me, For he spoke of Ruth, the beautiful, And still I thought of thee. Long was the prayer he uttered, But it seemed not so to me, For in my heart I prayed with him, 'But still I thought of thee: But now, alas, the place seems changed: Thou art no longer here ; Part of the sunshine of the scene With thee did disappear. Though thoughts, deep-rooted in my heart, Like pine trees dark and high. Subdue the light of noon. and breathe A low anti ceaseless sigh : This memory baditen's o'er the past, • As when the sun, concealed Behind some cloud that near us hangs, Shines on a distant field. BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.—Tile water of the sells clear and shallow, and all Oe party, except the Arabs, un dressed to ascertain the existence of the buoyant property attributed to it. The result of our observation astu. wished every individual amongst us. When swimming►, it •w•as scarcely possible to keep the feet below the water; when standing upright (treading water as it is called) the shoulders were raised above the surface, and it was not easy to keep this plsition, as the shoulders became top_ heavy. One of the party who could not swim, lay like a Bark on the surface; and indeed it required great exertion to dive below. It was ludicrous to see one of the horses. As soon as his body touched the water, he was afloat, and •urned over on his side; he struggled with all his force to preserve his equilibrium; but the moment he .stopped rs i o,iog, he turned over on his side again, and almost on d ts was over, r v e e r r i tsm: my skin t n h w e a ta s • o c r o s! ,u is back, kicking his fret out of the water, and snorting with terror.

My face and ears were encrusted with salt; my hairs stood out, " each par ticular hair on end," and my eyes were irritated and in flamed, so that I felt the effects of it for several days. In -pite of all th,is, however, revived and refreshed by my oath, I mounted my horse a new man.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, This DAY. A better inquiry for Cotton to-day : the sales will reach 3000 to 4000 bales. All are in expectation of the Halifax steamer, with later news ; that brought by the Patric k Henri; is rather conflicting, as to weather, upon the ne crops. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. F to the toast, and now he tmgged that thty would drink, in a full glass, the health of - the Earl of Derby, (Great cheering ) They seemed to receive the toast, with so much cordiality that they could not do less than drink it with three times three. The call was most readily responded to, and the t est drunk. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, said that if nnyt'ling could add to the gratification which he must feel as a son at the mann ,r in which the heath of his father had been re• ceived by en assemblage of those, who, living in his im mediate neightmurhood,- or very nearly so, were qualified to judge of the merits of the tope, it would be the terms in which :hat toast bad been provosed by his noble fiend Lord Sefton. H a Lordship concluded by proposing the healtts of the Vicc-Presidents,--Lord Sefton, Mr. Ro bertson Gladslono, and Mr. Watt; end, in doing so, he expressed the gratification he felt at seeihg two out of the three Vice-Presidents present. The toast vies very warmly received. Lord SEFTON said, that the very flattering manner in which they had drunk his heal) demanded his warmest thanks. He should, however, be much mom proud of the reception, and of the kind marks of thciisithprobaton, if he thought he was at all deserving of either. He had long lived amongst them. It gave him great pleasure to see them prosper. - Whether it was the merchant, the ma. nufac'urer, the tenant, or the labourer, it always afforded him ph asure to see prosperity abounding. The object of this society was that they should come- together—that some should teach while others Isarned. tie did not him self profess to be a teacher of the science of agriculture, ci a je t t m is d ts r, h ay e k r i e eL' lx o t, r ra : y„ m oi e orn s ti l: ,io o vs t , : e : nti n tow o r ets competentoccupy ubjct m( c o t rh n eei e om f fsp . t l hr e t i the h t e i me, Mr. ROBERTSON G A USTON Is said, that deeply sensible of the honour conferred upon him, in appointing him one of the vice-presidents of the society, and grateful for the compliment pail him in that capacity, lie rose to ext ress his heartfelt acknowledgment for the favour. Believing that socb ties like the present were-of the utmost import ance —that they tended to promote the cause of aitricul ture by promoting scientific and practical knowledge, he desired that it night continue to prosper, and that its efforts might be crowned wish abundant success. The CHAIRMAN said the members of the society would recollect that in former years the wall behind time Presi dent's seat was covered with silver articles for distribu tion among the successfut competitors, and that it formed a very imposing array. In the course of time, however. some of the successful coutpetitors—or he ogght rather to say their wives, finding that they had got so many teapots and teaspoons that they knew not what to do wiih them, suggested to their other halves—(lsughter)—that it would be more desirable to get the amuunt of their prizes in money, in order that they might buy the teapots and tea spoons themselves, if thee liked. It had been, therefore, decided that all the premiums should be paid in money : and, with the permission of the company, he should now proceed to read over the names of the successful candi dates, to whom Mr. Lucas was, he believed, prepared to meet all demands in full, if any of the competitors desired then to receive the amount. His Lordship then proceeded to read over the list of prizes, occasionally making such remarks to the successful c.mdidates as were calculated to' encourage them to renewed industry and perseverance. He then proposed the health of the Right Hon. Lord 'Alford, as a warm patron of agriculture, and coupled with the toast the agriculturists of Northampti:nshire. Lord "ALFORD briefly returned thanks, and in doing so said that the distribution of prizes was a proceeding which, in his mind, was one of the most im.teresting which human beings could be engaged. He had witnessed the ceremony in Northamptonshire, and believe', in his heart that it was productive not only of temporary gratifi cation to the parties themselves, but to the society which they formed a part. (Cheers.) From circumstsmices over which he had no control his residence in La, ca-hire had been much interrupted; but there were some preseir with whom he had the honour to stand in time relation of 1 id -1 and tenant. (Cheers.) He was quite sure that meet ings of this description tended to draw closer the bonds o amity between landlord and tenant •, and in the name of the agriculturists of Northamptonshire, he begged to re turn them his most grateful thanks. The CH.AIRAI AN next proposed "The Judges." upon whose judgment and impartiality he passed a very high Mr. TORR, one of the judges, returned thanks on behalf of himself and colleagues, and in the course of his remarks threw out some excellent practical suggestions. He be lieved that if a landlord kept a good buil for the use of his tenants, he did them service; but if he kept an in , nerior bull, the tenant would be in a better condition if he ob tained a hull from some other quarter. tie suggested that more liberal premiums ouirht, tf possible, to be offered tor agricultural in plements, in order to encourage a larger show. lie thought the pcor grm , s lands ought to be taken up throughout England, and that the tenants ought to be allowed a heavier return of tenant.right. I'he CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of the Mayor of Liverpool, and said it always afforded him. pleasure when the chief magistrate of such a town, represet:ting, as he did, its great comtnercial and mercantile inter s's, lent his countenance to en occasion such as that. The toast was warmly re.-4ived. The MAYOR said he felt deeply obliged to his Lordship and the company ; and on belndf of the corporation, as well as on his own, he begged most sincerely to thank 'hem. He might he allowed to say, that he had on pre vious occasions attended those anniversaries with nleasure and satisfaction, and that he was delighted to find they did not lose a particle. of their interest. (Hear, hear.) trideed he believed there never was a time when the value and intrortatice of those societies were mote deeply or when the commercial and trading interests valued and appreciated them mote highly than at present. They knew that if the hinds were s ell drained, aad if we had abundant larvests, there was no drain on the country of its precicus metals; Ihe money market, at such a time, was easy, commerce and trade were stimulated, the wages of the labourer were enhanced, and the prices of pro. visions were moderate. (Cheers.) He could not but con aratialwe them on the existenoe of this and kindred seek ties, so well calculated as they were to inform and stimu late the farmer in his pursuits; and he wished them good luck, and hoped they might continue to prosper. The Mayor concluded by proposing, amidst deafening and long.cnnti tilted applause, the hea!th of the noble chAirman. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and said that he de rived the greatest satisfaction at finding that he pess , ssed the confid-nee of those amongst whom he was best known —the inhabitants of his native county. He concluded by propos;ng the healths of the succesful candidates. Mr. ItonErer Nrai.soN returned thanks, and in doing so made seaeral practical observations on ploughing, draining, and sub-soiling, for which, we regret, we have o space at command. Lurd STANLEY again rose, and said they had proposed many toasts this evening, but the one he had to propose, he thought, was as important as any which had been brought before them. Indeed, it was one intimate:y con nected with the prosperi'y of the Liverpool Agricultural Society, a number of gentlemen to whom thf.y were. all indebted, and he considered it would be a gross act of in gratitude and neglect if they did not record their ack now. ledgtnent of the services of those gentlemen to the Liver pool Agricultural Society—he meant the committee of management. (Loud cheers ) With whom he would combine the name of their talented and able secretary, Mr. Ledger. (Cheers.) Nit. LEDGER returned thanks. A number of other roasts, chiefly of a complimentary nature, followed, and the company separated at a quarter to ten o'clock. . Barley and Oats., collectively, were very extensive. The bttvndance to-day of both factors and dealers was small, and so little business was transacted that last week's prices were nominally unaltered. On Foreign Wheat, also, the rates were stationary. There was a large quantity of Barley on sale. Malt, the supply of which was by no means large, moved off slowly, at late rates. The quantity of Oats offering was large, but we have to report very few sales. Beans, Pease, and Flour were a cum drug, at late prices. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, Ocr. 28 In our market the supply of Beasts was, even for the t me of the year, considered very extensive, the numbers bespoke for last evening exceeding 4,000 head ; but a great deficiency wa: apparent in its quality. Notwitbt , nding. the attendance of buyers was very numerous, the Beef trade was extremely heavy. Ho wever, the priweet Scots, &c. sold at prices about equal to those obtained on this day te'nnicht ; but those of the middling and inferior breeds suffered a decline of quite 2d, per Slb., and a clearance was not effected. THIRD EDITION. Standard-office, Ten o'clock. FIRE AT BIRKENHEAD. About three o'clock this morning the watchman on duty discovered the premises of Mt ssi a. Wemyss and Cameron, joiners and builders, Ivy-street, Birkenhead, to be on fire. The alarm was speedily given, and two of the engines got to work, but, owing to the inflammable nature of the buildings, which were chiefly composed of wood, in less tnan three quarters of an hour the wi.ole were razed to the, ground. There is every reason to suppose that this is the work of an incendiary, as the fire originated in the east end of the building, in a temporary shed used for jointing flooring boards, (into which no fire was ever admitted) and in the end directly opposite to that in which the stove is er , cted. About fourteen men were employed on the pre mises, all of whom have lost the whole of their tools. The premises were insured in a London office ; and the loss, exclusive of the tools, is estimated at about £2OO. Oct. 29.
