N EWSPAPERS! • Thl 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 ft:airs 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 blended! Whilst our spirited Queen, she keeps tip a bright scene • Of festivities truly quite splendid. There's llva 31, likewise, still elicits surprise, By his wonderful clothing so noted ; And frankly ~wn - Mere are none in the town, Who cut get so nobly snpported ! 'Tis his pride to aequ're most sylendid attire, And yet to sell cheaper than any; Now this is the cause why he gets the applause, And the noble support of the many! For Autumn so 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 hazy fog, The rigid hoar•fro t melts upon the ground ; And hung on every spray, on every blade, The myriad • ewdrops sparkle all around ! In presenting before my distinguished patrons my arrangements and extensive preparations for the present season, I consider it first a paramount duty, combined with a positive pleasure, to return my sincere thanks for the continued success which has for so many years ena , lcd me to produce such novelties as have been entirely unprecedented. and which have given to my • u rnerous establishments, both in England and Scotland, a cha racter hitherto unparanelled in the annals of Clothing. Immense patronage demands the most decisive proofs of gra. titude and respect; and to those who have so nobly supported -me throughout a long career of mercantile enterprise. I beg leave most respectfully to tender my gratepil acknowledgments. My arrangements for the preser,t season are now approaching to a completion, and combine Vesting& of exquisite beauty and shade, In countless profusion are tastefully laid; The richest designs which the loom can supply Delight every fancy and please every eye ! - - • In the tour which I have recently made throughout the Eng lish, Scott'sh, and Continental markets, I have selected upwa!ds of 6000 of the most mag , ificent designs in Vestings, which can not be obtained by any other house in the kingdom. The •' principal styles" are entirely my own property, ai.d can only be seen at my establishment; and, although I have adopted this novel method of securing the most recherelit: designs, yet econo tny will be found blended with their extreme beauty and dime bility.—The Materials which I have selected for Trouserings combine every novelty yet introduced into this country ; the stock being truly immense, and the pztterns so much diversified, it insures to every one the certainty of being pleased. Again, the magnificent display of Materials for (frier Coats, For every age and station, Are such as mast excite in all The meed of approbation ! In the above useful garments I have introduced a variety of new and beautiful features, and amongst the many novelties may be enumerated the Glehlyon Driving Coat, the Parisian Envelope, the Albert Riding, and the Waterford Walking Coats. Now these are entirely new, and different to any style yet intro duced, and will be found to possess that gentlemanly appearance so much admired amongst the haut ton. Combining, as my establishments do, the most recherche t:esigns, the greatest no velties, the most scientific 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 continuance of the favour of my distinguished patrons ; whilst no future efforts of mine shall be wanting to merit their generous support.—l have the honour to be the public's obliged servant.

T PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs parti t, • cularly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public to the under-•mentioned selection of Preparations : THE NECTARIAN SYRUP, for producing a delicious, refreshing. and wholesome Drink. The good effects of Acidulated Beverages, during the Summer Season, arc so well known in quenching thirst, rendering the skin clear and cool, and promoting general health, that it is nearly superfluous to recommend them. Of all -preparations of the kind, the NECTARIAN SY RUP is the most attreeable ; and, as possessing the above mentioned salubrious properties, is particularly recom mended. To Captains of Vessels, persons going abroad, or taking excursions of pleasure, it will be found extremely useful, being portable. and so well calculated to allay that dis tres'ing heat and fever which accompanies thirst. ESSENCE OF RENNET, for making delicious Curds and Whey. This wholesome preparation is engaged to keep, and obviates all the un certainty of matting Whey from the Rennet Bag. PRIESTLEY'S CITRATED EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APERIENT. • This delightful compound is recommended in Bilious Affections, Indigestion, Gout, Heart-burn, and as a cool ing aspirant during the autumnal season. In small doses it is of great use in abating fever, forming a very agreea ble effervescent saline draught. The citrated flavour and the carbonic acid gas evolved render it peculiarly grateful to the Stomach, and an admirable corrective when a free indulgence has impaired its energies. Prepared and sold only at 52, Lord-street, Liverpool, in bottles at 2s. 9d., and 48.6 d. each. PRIESTLEY'S FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Properties 6f Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great incon venience, or with whom it would be utt impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possei , ses the advantagesof portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much-esteemed Medicine. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Erup tive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pimples, &c., from the Face, this Medicine has no superior. PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS, _ which approach nearer than anything vet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to himself, and combine scientific skill with great accuracy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious compounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the medicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters. Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Pow ders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases. VEGETABLE HAIR OIL, Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and renovating the human Hair.

AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE. 1 APT AIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE ‘-) TEA is an admixture of 40 rare Black Teas, produced on as many different plantations, each Tea differing from the rest, and possessing a flavour, a fragrance, or strength, peculiar to itself. Blended together in the proper pro portions, they comp►ise all that is desirable in Tea. This discovery was not the effect of chance, but of many great advantages united in one individual, and the result of numerous 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 these. advantages, and to whom alone How qua—years before his death—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 " 1-lowqua'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 GENUINE. And it would be absurd to suppose that Captain Pidding, 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 valuable 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 THUS, " Captain JOHN RODES 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.

The exhibition, as a whole, was considered the most satisfac 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 been 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 time past, and the attendance was such as might have been expected. Almost all the noblemen and gentlemen whose names we have enumerated in our account 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 we observed many material improvements in machines for cutting and also in the ploughs. The subsoil plough of Mr. Robert Neilson was particularly noticed as an improvement in the turning up of the land, its peculiar working being that it cut most deep, and with advantage to the soil admitted in a great degree the atmospheric air. A pecu liar kind of cart for agricultural-purposes was also exhi bited by Mr. Robertson Gladstone, of Court-hey. It showed in its formation how lightly a heavy load might be carried with relief to the horses, in comparison to other carts used for similar purposes. It was a single horse cart weighing about 10 cwt., and capable of carry ing from 140 to 150 stones of either hay or straw. THE The Annual Dinner of the society took place in the evening in the spacious room attached to Lucas's Repo sitory. About 350 gentlemen, for the most part large landed proprietors and extensive farmers, sat down on the occasion. The dinner, which comprised all the vari ous de:icacies of the season, was provided by Mr. Lawton, of the Rainbow Hotel, Williamson-square. The tables were arranged in the usual manner. The Right Hon. Lord Stanley, the president of the society, who was loudly cheered on entering, occupied the chair. To his right we noticed, Thomas Sands, Esq., Mayor of Liver pool, Robertson Gladstone, Esq., John Shaw Leigh, Esq., Richard Earle, Esq., Henry Houghton, Esq.,—Beamish, ESQ., T. Bright Crosse, Esq., Richard Willis, Esq., J. N. Walker, Esq., Thomas Willis, Esq., John Formby, Esq. &c. &c. On his left, the Earl of Sefton, Lord laford.—H e ath co t e , E sq., W m.

Wray. Mr. George Wilde, John Lord, Esq., and John Part, Esq., of Wigan, David Evans, Esq.—Walker, Esq., of Bolton, Harcld Little dale, Esq., &c. , . . After the usual loyal toasts had been given, his lordship said,—ln rising to propose to you the next toast, " Pros perity to the Liverpool Agricultural Association," I feel it unnecessary to express the satisfaction I feel at seeing myself surrounded by so numerous and respectable an as semblage, gathered together to do honour to the institu tion, the anniversary of which we are engaged in celebrat ing, and also, I would fain hope, to bear, by their pre sence, their testimony of the merits of this and similar institutions in promoting the important objects they are designed to serve. Those objects are of two-fold charac ter, not only important 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 increasing wants of a rapidly augmenting popu lation, by the application of improved science and art to the limited surface of the earth over which we have com mand; but still more important in their bearing upon cur social relations, bringing together all classes of the community—(hear)—landlords, tenants of a h gher 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-day, 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 account 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 cognised, and recognised practically as well as in theory, that it would be an impertinent waste of your time 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 has been partaking of the great movement which has been pervading all the industrial branches of this country. Farmers are finding out that 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 tively 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 for a moment doubt the eflect upon the agriculture of the country—the effect of communicating information mutu ally possessed, and the effect of the stimulus arising from competition and constant communication—l cannot, I say, doubt the effect upon the agriculture of the country of the numberless institutions of this kind established throughout the kingdom. (Hear.) And if I look at our own immediate neighbourhood, and compare the position 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 mode of cultivation, or his desire for improvement and amelioration, and compare the state of things now with what it was when, fourteen years ago, I first had the honour of occupying the chair of this society, 1 hope I am not assuming too much when I say, that to the constant meetings and constant inter course carried on between different classes by means of this society, much of that improvement is to be traced which no man with an eye in his head 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, witlen a much shorter time than that which I have named, within the last four or five years, I see 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 tour or five years ago that, at a ineet:ng of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, I first noticed as a novelty of a singular charac ter a new manure, known as guano, and recommended to the agriculturists of England. (Hear and a laugh.) If I am not misinformed, from this single port of Liverpool there bare gone out, within this single year no less ttan 150 vessels, chartered expressly fer the purpose of import ing this then unknown manure for the improvement of the agriculture of the country. It is not alone, however, in matters like this, that we see the usefulness of these societies. 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, I must again and spar im press upon you who are connected with the land, is the basis of all improvement—deep and thorough drainage of the land, and not here alone, but throughout all England, I see most remarkably, 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 been effected in this respect. Every one is struck with the appearance of preparations for future ex ertions, which are, at the same time, the token of well deserved success. Some of the old farmers 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 improvement, and making the land grow so much more ?" By the bye it is not so much making it grow more, as making it grow different crops—making it grow wheat instead of weeds. (Hear, hear.) But some , say, " What is the use of allAis ? his not a question for the farmer. We shall only have our rents increased the more productive land is." Such 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 and 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 advantage 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 •ndertake 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 mers argue, that because at the expiration of their te nancy their rents may be increased, it is not worth while to adopt improvements, I must say, they take a very short-sighted view of their own interests, and must think their landlords very great fools and blockheads. They must go on the presumption 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 allow a slovenly tenant to go on in his slovenly courses. (flea ..) 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 land. (Cheers. This brings me to another question,—as to the degree to which it is desira ble or important that the practice should prevail of hold ing land by lease. I speak, I know, in the presence of a noble friend of mind, and every man who knows him is aware that there is not a kinder or better landlord, or a warmer friend to his tenants and neighbours, than my noble friend on my left, the Earl of Sefton. (Much ap plause, the noble earl rising and bowing to his lordship and the company.) I know also it is not my noble friend's practice to let his farms on lease. The great ma jority of his tenants are tenants from year to year, with such entire and perfect confidence in the honour and in tegrity of their landlord, that I do not believe that the fact of their having no lease operates disadvantageous'y in any individual case. But this 1 say, and as one con nected 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 tenant be secured the repayment of his outlay, not by the perso nal character or honour of his landlord, but by a secmily which no casualties can interfere with—the security granted- him by the terms of a lease for years. (Ap plause.) Ido not speak of a lease for Eves. In my ex perience, with some exceptions, wherever I have found fields badly cultivated, and buildings dilapidated, I have found that the property is held under a life lease. (Laugh ter and applause.) I speak of a tenant who is prepared to join his capital, and to go hand in hand with his landlord in the improvement of the farm. The greater the im provement you expect, the greater ought to be the lease you give. I consider it unjust, if you call for improve ment, not to give to the tenant the moral certainty that the improvement he effects shalt repay him during the course of his lease for the expense he incurs. (Hear.) I will go further than this, and say that there are some expenses of so permanent a character, that while I repeat it again, that it is an inadmissible argument against im provement, if the tenant repays himself for his outlay, that at the expiration of his term he shall leave his land in a better state than he found it—while I hold this to be an inadmissible position, and admit and contend that, in proportion to the amount of improvement expected from the tenant, ought to be the duration of his lease—l will add further, that there are some expenses, more especially with the class of farmers of whom the great majority are composed, which it is idle to expect that they should undertake. If they are to add permanent value to the land, they ought to be undertaken by the landlord himself, charging on the tenant such an amount of interest as may repay him for the outlay be has made, and at the same time afford a reasonable profit to the te nant. (Hear.) But, gentlemen, lam not speaking now except of that which again is the basis of all improvement, and especially in this country—the thorough draining of the soil. And I repeat what I have already said on a for mer occasion in this room, that there is no investment in the world in which a landlord can so safely, so usefully, or so profitably invest his capital as in the improvement of his own farm, by money sunk on draining. on security of the land which belongs 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 purpose of boasting of what has been done, but of encou raging others to follow the example, when 1 say—that on my father's property in this neighbourhood there has been laid down at his expense, and charging five per cent. in terest to the tenants, which I believe they most gladly and willingly acknowledge they have over and over again re ceived the benefit of—in this last year we have laid down in deep draining somewhere about 300 miles of drains, at an expense of between £5,000 and £6,000, and, I think, employed about a million and a half of draining tiles. (Hear.) By the arrangement I recommend for this pur pose both parties are benefitted ; the landlord 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 the additional amount per acre be has in curred by having his fields drained, has not been over and over again repaid by the annual return arising from the property. (Hear.) It may be thought that I have trespas on your indulgence, on a point peculiar and personal to myself, at greater length and in 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 right that we should express frankly our own own opinions. I do not hesitate to express 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 the important objects in which both are at least equally interested. 1 believe, on the whole, lamin a position to congratulate you on the present state of this society. I hope the period of its depression is already passed. Un doubtedly it has been subject to some vicissitudes, and experienced some losses ; and two or three years ago it be came involved in debts from which some exertions were necessary to relieve it. I have the satisfaction 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, the sphere of the society's usefulness, yet we have every reasonable prospect of the income of the society equalling 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 can dif fuse to a considerable extent the advantages which insti tutions of this kind are 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 if the co-operation and consent of another and similar society in this county could be obtained, great benefit might be derived from the amalgamation of the Manches 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 agricultural classes, 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. I believe, if the union were effected, it would tend to the mutual ad vantage and increasing prosperity of both. With these observations, and thanking you for the patience with which you have listened to the remarks of one very little compe tent to address you on such subjects, I beg of yOu to join me, as I feel you will do, cordially and heartily, in drink ing " Prosperity and success to the Liverpool Agricultural Society.,' The arl of SEFTON rose, amid loud cheers, and said he had the leave of their noble chairman to propose a toast. It was to him a task difficult to perform. He knew not exactly how he could do justice to the toast, but he felt that he could put it to them as farmers in a way that it would come home to their hearts. No persons knew the ualue of a good neighbour better than farmers. Some of them rnightwish their farms larger, and theirneighboursfar ther off—( laugh)—but all of them would be glad, if at the lane end, the man that lives at the next house was a right good fellow. (Hear, and laughter.) They would not like to have a litigious fellow, with whom they could never agree, and who would accommodate them with nothing. He (the Earl of Sefton) had a neighbour who was exactly the contrary of that character, and with whom he was on terms of the great es t friendship, from whom be received acts of kindness, and towards whom he always felt the greatest affection and respect. This was the character of his excellent neighbour, the Earl of Derby. (Loud and continued cheering.) They had most warmly responded THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. to the toast, and now he begged that they 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 ast drunk. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, said that if anything could add to the gratification which he must fuel as a son at the manner in which the health of his father had been re ceived by an assemblage cf those, who, living in his im mediate neighbourhood, or very nearly so, were qualified to judge of the merits of the toast, it would be the terms in which that toast had been proposed by his noble friend Lord Sefton. His Lordship concluded by proposing the healths of the Vice-Presidents,---Lord Sefton, Mr. Ro bertson Gladstone, and Mr. Watt; and, in doing so, lie expressed the gratification he felt at seeing two out of the three Vice-Presidents present. The toast was very warmly received. Lord SEFTON said, that the very flattering manner in which they had drunk his health demanded his warmest thanks. He should, however, be much more - proud of the reception, and of the kind marks of their approbation, if he thought he was at all deserving of either. Ile had long lived amongst them. It gave him great pleasure to see them prosper. Whether it was the merchant, the ma nufacturer, the tenant, or the labourer, it always afforded' him pleasure to see prosperity abounding. The object of this society was that they should come together—that some should teach while others learned. He did not him self profess to be a teacher of the science of agriculture, and therefore he should not occupy more of their time, but make way for those more competent to impart the ne cessary instruction upon the subject.

ROBERTSONpre scodnefne some of the successful competitors —or he ought rather to say their wives, finding that they had got so many teapots and teaspoons that they knew not what to do with them, suggested to their other halves—(laughter)—that it would be more desirable to get the amount of their prizes in money, in order that they might buy the teapots and tea spoons themselves, if they 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 candidates as were calculated to encourage them to renewed industry and perseverance. He then proposed the health of the Right Hon. Lord Lilford, as a warm patron of agriculture, and coupled with, the toast the agriculturists of Northamptonshire. Lord LILFORD 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 interesting in which human beings could be engaged. He had witnessed the ceremony in Northamptonshire, and believed 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 circumstances over which he had no control his residence in Lancashire had been much interrupted; but there were some present with whom he had the honour to stand in the relation of I ind lad 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 CHAIRMAN next proposed "The Judges," upon whose judgment and impartiality he passed a very high eulogium. 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 bull for the use of his tenants, he did them service; but if he kept an inferior bull, the tenant would be in a better condition if he oh tained a hull from some other quarter. He suggested that more liberal premiums ought, if possible, to be offered for agricultural implements, in order to encourage a larger show. He thought the poor grass lands ought to be taken up throughout England, and that the tenants ought to be allowed a heavier return of tenant-right. the 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, representing. as he did, its great commercial and mercantile interests, lent his countenance to an occasion such as that. The toast was warmly received. The MAYOR said he felt deeply obliged to his Lordship and the company ; and on behalf of the corporation, as well as on his own, he begged most sincerely to thank them. He might be-allowed to say, that he had on pre vious occasions attended those anniversaries with pleasure and satisfaction, and that he was delighted to find they did not lose a particle of their interest. (Hear, hear.) Indeed he believed there never was a time when the value and importance of those societies were more deeply felt, or when the commercial and trading interests valued and appreciated them more highly than at present. They knew that if the lands were well drained, and if we had abundant harvests, there was no drain on the country of its precious metak ; the 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 gratulate them on the existence of this and kindred socie 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-continued applause, the health of the noble chairman. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and said that he de rived the greatest satisfaction at finding that he possessed the confidence of those amongst whom he was best known —the inhabitants of his native county. He concluded by proposing the healths of the successful candidates. Mr. ROBERT NEILSON returned thanks, and in doing so made several practical observations on ploughing, draining, and sub-soiling, for which, we regret, we have ospaceat command. Lard 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 intimately con nected with the prosperity of the Liverpool Agricultural Society, a number of gentlemen to whom they were all indebted, and he considered it would be a gross act of in gratitude and neglect if they did not record their acknow• ledgrnent 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.) Mr. LEDGER returned thanks. A number of other toasts, Chiefly of a complimentary nature, followed, and the company separated at a quarter to ten o'clock. [The following, which appea;•ed last week in our I own Edition, is re-inserted for the perusal of distant Subscribers.] LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY SOCIETY FOR PRO MOTING CHRISTIANITY AMONG THE JEWS. The annual services in connection with the twenty fifth anniversary of the Liverpool Auxiliary Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews, commenced on V. ednesday last, and will not terminate before Sunday morning next. The fir s t p ar t o f t h e serv i ces was t h e celebration of divine service in Christ Church, on Wed nesday evening, by the Rev. A. M. Myers ; during which three of the brethren of the House of Israel were publicly baptized. Each of these persons had been inmates of the Liverpool Institution, and there is every reason to expect that their profession and practice of christianity will be consistent and praiseworthy. The next branch of the services; was a pub:ic meeting, which was held on the evening of Friday, in St. Bride's school-room, Grey-street, at which several clergymen attended and some addresses of a highly interesting character in connection with the cause were delivered. The following evening, Saturday, at seven o'clock there was a public prayer meeting in the Institution 'House, Slater-street; the blessing of Almighty God upon the proCeedings of the-anniversary, and on-the extension of his truth among the children of Israel was here most earnestly supplicated. On Sunday the usual sermons were preached. The public meeting of the members and friends of the Society was held at half-past six o'clock last night, in the Royal Amphitheatre, Great Charlotte-street. There was a most numerous attendance of clergy and laity. The Rev. H. S. Joseph was prevented being present by severe indisposition, brought on by over exertion, and we are sorry to hear that he has been forbidden by his medical adviser to preach or speak publicly for six months. The Rev. JAMES HALDANE STEWART was called to the chair; beside whom we noticed the following:— Revs. H. M'Neile, J. Jones, Thos. Nolan, Dr. Tattershall; M. Brock, J. J. Reynolds, and W. R. Fremantle, the deputation ; F. Barker, W. W. Eubank, H. Carpenter, W. Rawson, S. P. Bout flower, B. A. Marshall, H. Hampton, J. Cordeaux, W. Butler, F. Ould, A. M`Conkey, S. Fenton, 11. Davies, R. Walker (Crosby), T. C. Cowan, M. Margoliouth, D. Anderson, B. Morgan, C. Jones, 11. Jones, D. James, W. M. Falloon, G. Gibbons, J. R. Connor, C. W. Lawrence, G. F. Greene, W. Maynard, Chas Badham, H. Biggins, Wray Hunt, M. Meyler, Irvine, Warner, H. J. Wilkinson, C. J. Hamilton, R. Congreve, and H. J. Ilindley ; Messrs. Wm. Jones, Thos. Porter, Geo. Langtry, W. Brocklebank, Keeling (Runcorn), J. Rigby, J. Eden, Thos. Forsyth, W. Maples, R. Harbord, J. K. Rounthwaite, Thos. Houghton, J. Overend, and Cosgrove. The Rev. T. Not AN having supplicated the Divine blessing upon the meeting and its objects, The venerable CHAIRMAN, in his opening observations, remarked that they had met in very pleasing circum stances. For instance, God in his great goodness had granted to us an abundant harvest; the cloud which had long hovered over our commerce had passed away ; and our gracious Queen had been blessed with another son, thus giving to us a confirmation of the delightful hope that we should still continue to live under a line of Pro testant princes, under whose happy and mild government we had enjoyed so much civil and religious liberty (hear, hear.) There was peace, too, throughout the whole world ; the monarchs of Europe wished our country not to engage in alliances for hostility, but as brethren, to promote a spirit of love and brotherly concord. Surely then there was cause for thankfulness ; but whilst they met under these happy circumstances as regarded them selves, assembled in the cause of God's ancient people, it could not but be borne in mind that Jerusalem was still troddei , under foot of the Gentiles, the mosque of Omar still stood upon the very place where the temple of God formerly stood ; they must bear in mind also that it might still be said of the children of Judah as it had been said : . Tribe of the wandering foot and weary breast, How wilt thou flee and be at rest? The wild dove has its nest, the fox its cave, Mankind their country—lsrael but the grave. They might still use the language of Scripture and say, " Jerusalem is still in the dn,t —Babylon still lifts its head." The false prophet still had many followers; our God's name was still blasphemed ; his Sabbaths were broken, his word profaned, and open infidelity stalked abroad. On these and other important grounds he strongly urged the necessity of supporting this society. The Rev. Tnomns NOLAN then read the annual report of the Liverpool Auxiliary, of which the following is an abstract The report showed the proceedings of the Committee during the past year. They regretted to say that their dear friend and brother, Mr. C. Boutfiower, the late treasurer, had been called hence ; for tie was a zealous and long-tried friend of the Jewish cause, and a devout Chrstian. They had satisfaction in re peating that the interest felt by God's children in the spiritual welfare of the Jews was progressively increasing. The meet ings had been more numerous, and there was an increased at tentir n to the object in view, amongst many who were not befoie sensible of its importance. Several new auxiliaries had beeq formed, and a foundation laid for more extended exertions in future. They gratefully acknowledged the contributions of their Liverpool friends, and rejoiced that there bad been an in crease of the funds over those of the past year. From the financial report of the parent society, the aggregate receipts during the year amounted to £25,305, being an increase of 259 above the receipts of the preceding year. The attendance of baptized and unbaptized Jews at the Episcopal Chapel, ave. raged from 39 to 6o adults. The number of children in the Hebrew Schools f the society was 50 boys and 44 girls. At the Hebrew College 13 missionary candidates (the same num ber as last year) had pursued their studies under the direction of the Principal, and of these 10 were members of the House of Israel. The applications in London for Christian instruction had been numerous during the year. In Liverpool, the Rev. 11. S. Joseph had rendered very efficient service to the cause. by visiting the auxiliaries in differ; nt parts of the kingdom, and plead ng the claims of Israel there, and also from the pulpit. As the number of Jews in the large towns of the West of Eng land is considerable, the Committee have stationed a missionary at Bristol, whence he can reacily visit Bath, and he has already met with much encouragement. The report concluded with a warm and Christian appeal, and a pious aspiration in behalf of he society. The Rev: JOHN JONES, minister of St. Andrew's Church, moved the first resolution, which was to the ef fect, that the report be adopted and printed ; and that the meeting regarded with renewed feelings of gratitude to Almighty God, the blessing which had attended the la bours of the society in behalf of his ancient people. The reverend gentleman, at some length, defended the society from a number of objections made against it, contending that its proceedings were justified by the specific com mands of our Lord. The Rev. HUGH M'NEILE seconded the resolution, observing that he would call attention to one particular passage in the report, which referred to the institution, in This town, for the shelter and support of inquiring bap tised Jews. That institution was not so well known, and he believed, upon that account principally, not so well supported as it deserved to be. If he were not mistaken, that institution, and asylums similar to it, connected themselves directly with a very important question which had been aeitated in the Parent Society in London, and brought forward at general meetings among the best friends the cause of Israel numbered in this country. (Hear.) He meant the question of temporal relief to enquiring and baptised Jews. (Hear, hear.) It had al ways been felt to be a difficult matter to determine how relief should be systematically adminis'ered. He did not think there bad been much difficulty in determining that relief should be given, but there had been difficulty in determining how to give it. If temporal relief were given, arid if it were publicly known that such relief were given, there was danger upon one side, that hypocrisy, ever ready, would avail itself of the open door, and Christian bounty would be abused. it was the duty of Christians to guard against this. They had not only to consider the duty of Christian prudence, but to consider the privilege of Christian sympathy ; for if no relief were given, then enquiring Jews were upon the very brink of being rejected altogether by their own people, or when altogether rejected by their own, instead of being taken up and for a time supported by us, found themselves at once in a state of temporal destitution, while they had not yet had time to consider the deep grounds of these spiritual truths, for the sake of which they had incurred that temporal distress. The burden of martyrs was laid upon them before they had had time to acquire the strength of a child. It was the privilege of Christian sympathy to guard against this; and what was required, was some mode of administering temporal relief, which should at once be safe upon one side of the duty of Christian prudence, and upon the other exercise the privilege of Christian sympathy. It was confessedly difficult. (Hear.) When this society was originally instituted a part of its plan was to give temporal-relief; and an accusation was brought: against its operations by the Jews that it sought to make converts by bribery. (Hear.) The plan of giving relief was therefore relinquished ,• the object of the society was strictly limited to spiritual in strucion ; and then the charge brought against it was that it would make converts to starve. He thought, too, it was a very unfair charge to bring against the institution that it did not deserve the name of Christian, because there was some part of Christian duty which it did not aim at fulfilling. It was not a society for carrying out the whole length and breadth of Christian duty : it was a society for a specific purpose, That purpose was to pro mote Christianity among the Jews by the preaching of the Gospel, by the instruction of th- young, and by the other spiritual means placed within its reach. The funds of the society were collected for that purpose; and he' thought it would be very unfair that funds collected for one purpose should be expended for another, or that any part of the funds collected for one purpose should be ex pended for another purpose. He confessed that he thought the society had acted wisely in determining to maintain its spiritual and scriptural character, and in declining the proposal which some had made, that part of its- general fonds should be applied to temporal relief; but if it were admitted that the society was right in confining itself to the spiritual object, it by no means followed that they (the public) would be right in so confining themselves. (Hear, hear.) The society was organised for a specific purpose, but the support of it was in the nature of a Christian duty towards the Jews. Granted that we sup ported the society as we ought to d o ,— an d per h aps f e.v would have the presumption to say th e y h a d acqu i tte d themselves in the whole length and breadth o f Ch r i st i an duty towards the Jews,—there remained a d u ty upon us as Christians after supporting the society, after con tribeting towards their spiritual instruction, with regard to their temporal condition. (Hear, bear.) He was clad to hear this referred to in the report, because he con sidered it a most legitimate matter to give instruction upon, although the society would still observe its single ness of purpose, and apply all its funds to the spiritual objects designed ; he therefore did not feel he was travel. ling out of his course in proposing this matter to the at tention of the meeting, although, strictly speaking, it was not a part of the operations of the society. It arose cut of those operations in this way ; they pointed to one part of our duty as Christians towards the Jews, and he availed himself of the opportunity to suggest another part. He hoped that this made it very clear, so far as it was possi ble. how to maintain the Cristian duty of giving temporal relief to the Jews, while at the same time we maintained the Christian wisdom of confining the operation of this society to spiritual objects. (Hear.) But then the ques tion occurred how was this temporal relief to be adminis tered ? A separate fund had been suggested ; and they had been told that a separate fund had failed. The reason why it had failed, he thought, had been that the mode of administering it had not been explained; for surely before they could consistently, or with any good hope of success, call upon the public to supply funds, they ought to inform the contributors how those funds would be used when they got them. There were persons who said "let us have a fund first, and then we'll use it." This was fair, per haps, with regard to our own money, with which we could do as we liked; but if you asked the public for theirs, they had a right to demand from you before they gave, ,‘ What are you going to do with it ?" "how are you going to spend it ?" If it were proposed in a general in definite way that a separate fund for temporal relief be placed at the disposal of the committees of the various Jewish auxiliaries throughout the country, he did not think there would be any fair prospect of success ; he did not know who the officers of those auxili-. aries were who would undertake the responsibility of ad ministering at their own discretion funds so placed at their disposal. Ele for one confessed, as connected with the auxiliary in this town, he should always shrink from any such responsibility ; he would not undertake to h ave any hand in the disposal of such a fund unless upon prin ciples laid down, plainly defined to the public when they were asked for their money, and then honestly acted upon when they had given the money. (Hear.) How, then. were such principles to be laid down and acted upon ? The question again recurred; and here he reverted to the institutions before named. He thought by asylums formed for receiving and for retaining baptized Jews within their walls, under certain specified rules and rel gulations, and by asking the Christian public to give sub scriptions for the support of these asylums, they might attain to a plan of rescuing their Jewish friends from the immediate pressure of want during their enquiries or speedily after their baptism. He granted that we could not permanently do so ; that, he thought, was hopeless ; but there must be hardship somewhere; and if it pleased God to convert men, and by that conversion withdraw them from civil associates upon whom they had been de pending for a livelihood, they must count the cost , and be exposed to some trials in consequence. All that they could do—all that they could reasonably be expected to do —was that they should for a time after the conversion of a Jew, shelter him from immediate want, supply his pressing wants for a time, and during that time strengthen him in the faith, and instruct him in the principles of Christianity. They might make what enquiry they could among their own friends to procure employment for him at the end of that time; but whether they could succeed him employment or not at the end of th a t time r must have done with him ; they must sa y G n o p db ot e ehu w ery i i t n h g you ; go forth ; we have been the means of converting you and leading you into the true faith, but we cannot continue all the year to support you ; go forth now and God be with you." (Hear.) The pro b lem then was reduced a little in difficulty ; it was now this, " how shall we adopt a plan which shall give refuge and support for a certain period to converted Jews, in titt w o order that they may not in the very infancy of th e i r christianity be cast upon an unfeeling world ? " Su c h as ylums as he had referred to supplied, b e th oug h t, an ose.of therefore, suh t an e ans wer. But, in order to do such a wo r k e ffi c i ent l y t h ere must x difference between dealing with li v i ng men and dealing with iabstract be o ig efficientr mu workmen,hse.e.

This proposal gave him one year of fair trial und e r the rules and regu. h 3 B t tions of the asylum, with christian instruction fr om t oe Superintendent every day, and a ba re subsistence , amounting to a bribe, to bring him in and yet respectable' such as a christian man should offer a fellowecreature.,6 Having been allowed one year of such probation , if. ° desired baptism himself and the members of the exeen ° ; ing committee (Rho in most cases wonld be experience,: ministers of the Established Church) judged him sni fic 4 ently qualified then he would be btised; but if not. through inc a pacity, or any remainir;g prejudice,or throul any lingering immorality of conduct, or from whatever cause he were still himself unwillin g t o b e baptisedem, judged unfit or incompetent by the exam i n i ng conim"ri then they had discharged a christian duty towards tu t e e man—and he must be removed from the asylum te_rp room for some more hopeful enquirer.

Here again an important principle was ineolveu; He did not pretend to specify these plans asthe very involves; that combined wisdom could draw up ; he had drawnthetila up in the hope that something would be arrived at, t o n a prudently determined upon, whereby this long agit e question might, through an honest endeavour to mar'. beginning, come at last to a prosperou s t er minatle' (Hear.) Some might think that six months a ft e r bePt, iB "; was too short a period to allow the converted J e w; but h thought if after his baptism he was retained for six months, kept in the institution for that time, and I ° - structed diligently (as he would be every day) in the Pl c ; ticulars of the Christian religion, the kind friends of to l society wherever the asylum was situ a te, k n owing P„ circumstances, would in -the meantime make some in l ,; rest for him, speak to persons connect e d w ith the town ::, neighbourhood, who would in all probability give 11 ,1 some labour when he came forth from th e as ylum ; if he were then indeed a sincere ( hristian, as be sv °u '• profess to be, he would not be allowed to be cleat!' tute. (Hear, hear.) And if he were, we could ono hope that God would make some blessing ar i se to him ° l f of it. In this way a tangibl e p ro p osa l as t o th e mode. ° expending a separate fund might be laid before the public, and he was strong in the conviction that if a worse pro posal of the sort were made, it would be respondediit°, and that a separate fund would not be a failure. would venture to propose further, th a t no baptised J. dismissed from the asylum should be e li g ibl e f or reaclaZ sion at any time sooner th a t t we l ve mon th s f r om ` date of his dismissal.

Thi s was w" "„ t he had ventured to sug g est, in a ver y b r i e f an d impal e ' manner, in order to make a beginning of something gible and practical in this great matter—(hear, hear) and we know not any part of th e ki ng d om where l e might more gracefully ema n ate f rom th an f rom the tow!! of Liverpool. (Cheers.) We were not the metropolis , was true, but we had shown the m e t ro p o li s an examp le before now ; and he was happy to be able to say that ifc are going within a few days to follow a g ood exam e l° shown us by the metropolis. We were first upon teed point of getting. a Sailors' Home. (Cheers.) The lan had been given, and a meeting had been called for Fridsf next, with his Worship the Mayor in the chair, to tak e proceedings fora Sailors' Home for Liverpool. (Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. BROCK, of Bath, moved the next resolu tion, which congratulated the members of the society upon the gradual diminution of prejudice amongst the Jews , both upon the Continent and in Palestine, as proved be , their general readiness to receive christian instruction' In supporting this resolution the rev. gentleman gave an interestin g narrative of a native from the foot of Mount Arrarat, who had recently visited this country to o btain funds to release his children, who had been seized for some taxes due to the monarch of Persia. This man wag a Nestorian christian, but without participating in the errors of Nestorius, and from his conversation and state ments it was evident that christianity was making progress among the Jews in those regions. The entire progress of the cause, indeed, was such as to call upon all who loved Christ to further it by their means and their prayers. The Rev. J. J. REYNOLDS seconded the resolution, in a very able speech, in the course of which he gave a vs' riety of elaborate details of the suc c ess whi c h h as a ttended, the efforts of the society's agents and missionaries, mostet which will be found in the publications periodically mecl.e• A collection was made at this period, durin g which tor beautiful hymn of " Crown Him Lord of all" was sung,ln tremendous chorus by the vast assembly. e last The Rev.
