MANCHESTER AND. lIVERPODL AGM CULTURAL SOCIETY'S ANNUAL SHOW AND• COMPETITION., The twelfth annual exhibition of the Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural Society. was opened yesterday at Edge-hill. The weather, being rather threatening in the early part of the day, had the effect of limiting the company who attended this, one of the most interesting of the prOvincial shows, which have taken place for several years past. The show ef this year is remarkable in many ways. The extent of the local fund, for covering the costs of the exhibition, and for .providing special prizes in several dep ar t men t s was large, almost beyond prece dent. This, as might have naturally been looked for, combined with the liberal prize list of the society, and the eclat attached to successful competition in so im portant a field of enterprise, produced a large number of competitors, and the list of entries we find included fully 1,600. The meetings of this society, which possesses great local interest, hire been generally progressive in the number, and also in the improving character of the stock, implements, and produce exhibited, and on no previous occasion did the various specimens submitted for competition surpass the splendid display which graced the show-yard yesterday. "Unfortunately, the weather was threatening in the morning, and was hardly settled throughout the day ; notwithstanding which a large concourse of evidently interested spectators crowded the show-yard. - - Amongst the distinguished gentlemen whom we no ticed on the ground during the day, were—The Earl of Sefton, Colonel Hopwood, Colonel Wilson Patten, M.P.; T. B. Horsfall, Esq., M.P. ; J. Gre,gsoit, Esq., M.P. ; Colonel Blackburne, J. Ireland Blackburne, Esq., S. Gregson, Esq., &c., &c. The number who paid for ad mission, during the day, was about 3,000, in a dditi on t o those who were present as members. The whole of the money taken for admission was about £320.

He said, it was only in obedience to the orders of their noble chairman that he rose to reply to the toast which had been so kindly proposed and received. He always.had a feeling of dislike to speak at public assemblies.; but as the noble lord (their - chairman) had held a commission, and had taken part in, the duties which he had alluded to, he had still more hesitation in offering may remarks. However, as he had ordered him to do it, he• did So With the greatest pleasure: He was only commanding a regiment of her Majesty's militia; but in that capacity - he had seen as much as was sufficient to convince him of the greatness of her Majesty's army and navy as .to say, when they looked at other - countries, that they hadevery reason to be proud of their little army and navy.;; and in the name of both he thanked them for the manner in which the toast had been honoured. (Applause.)' ' The CliaarimAx. then said the next toast which he felt it his dity- to-proposer was the health of the patrons of the society—Lord Derby and Lord Egerton—who, he was sorry - to say; were not present. Lord Del-by was a public. man, and. had many things 'to do, or he was sure he wouldthavebeen present on that occasion ; but, notwithstanding this, he• had great pleasure in proposing the health of tie' patrons, Lord Derby and Lord EaertonL" ' The toast wasafrank amid cheers. The CHAIRMAN: them rose,. and Said it was Ma' duty to proposwthe toast - of the evening. He was net - so well acquainted 'with agriculture or agricultural improvement as many who • were. present„ and who would.'.tell them of all that.shoulZbe.dene in order to improve. There was one thing he •had to tell thene—the greater part of. which they were no doubt aware of—that the judges-had not been able to decide as to, who the prizes should be awarded to, beoause they were all so good that they could not make out who had the- best right to them.- This was &very gratifying state of things, and they should be proud to seesit increased'. He was happy to say that -he had the honour to be the landlord to the former who had got the- prize. for tha• best cultivated farm•in the 'county, andho.wished to tell him, that the-aecond and the-third weve.very close upon him. The &mminers were like thereselaresi: they were' all open to improvement. They- must go on and' never stop ; for if that farmer stopped who) had the best cultivated- farm, and the others who. weir close to, him went on, they would overeome Min! next yenu He had one word to say to the exhibitersof machinery. They liked; very much to .see the various implements at work beftire they laid. out large sums of money upon them. A - :. Lancashire farmer of the-old schook when he came there to look at 3 pigs ' • he-said. to himself,,, "Well, when r was a- little bey there. was none of them steam thinge-at work, and!, I, don't know what to say about them: 7' The on/y r ;thing to , convince the- people of their utility, and he imight say necessity.,, was. to go on showing them from. timo to time. so that the people might- be 'convineed that labour could be saved; If labour 'rose lib price, they would say that they could employ the assistance of machinery. HD was not ac quaintiecl with many of them ; but he• dare say most of the-people present knew him ; for the old sayin&was true, that " more knew Tom fool than-Tom fool. knew." (Laughter.) But he had to propose the-toast, which he was sure they would all drink -with, three cheers-- "•Success to the Manchester and Liverpool Agricul tural Society." The toast was responded to by loud' cheers. Colonel WILSON PATTEN rose, and' said he had been privileged to p r opo se the next toast, which, he was sure, would be received with mingled pain and pleasure. He had to propose the health of their noble president. On looking round him, he saw the faces of many, who had attended the meetings of the society for many years past. In proposing the toast, he could not. help calling to memory their noble frieud, who had presided over them when they last met in this town ; and he would only say of him, that all who. knew him found that on all occasions he was ready to be a friend to the county of Lancashire. He hop,ed, that their noble chairman, who now filled his position, would endeavour to follow his footsteps. He had no doubt, from what he had seen of the commencement of his career, that the successor to the late noble lord would not allow the name whick he bore to be tarnished. He had only to propose the health of their noble President, and their thanks for his Market-place, The toast was drank amid renewed cheers. The CHAIRMAN, on rising, was greeted with loud and ?roluged applause. He said he sincerely thanked let , . and the trentleman who had proposed his health. for the kind manner in which it had been proposed an d responded to.

He hoped they would not look upon his want of words . as a want of feeling; altcl he thought he wont' not be wrong in taking that opportunity to propose the next toast—" The Vice-presidents." There was one sitting- on his left whom they all knew, and that was lt'• Blackburne, of Hale. Mr. JOHN IRELAND BLACJIDVICNE returned thanks on behalf of the Vice-presidents in a brief speech. The CHAIRMAN again rose, "and after alluding to the arduous nature of their duties, proposed' The g rudges," coupling with it the names of Mr. John Grey, one of judges of horned cattle, and Mr. John' ktarinann, one of the judges of horses. Mr. Gitty, of Boilston, Northumberland,,in acknow ledging the toast, thanked.the- noble ptesident for the mariner in which he had alluded to the laboriMis and delicate nature of the duties of the judges. Hle'vtould he a very bold man indeed' who, acting as a judge' on' such . an occasion as that, where the competition rati , sOiclose, could say that in every instance he hadi judge correctly.

Stifle h6' repeated that the judges would be held, were they to' saythat, in such an influential society as this, where the . convetition had been so great, they had given a right' decision in all cases, when it was considered that the merits' of competing specimens were sr, ecinal as to have come ! , indeedoorithin the shadow of a difference. If he told' them that and two made font; he:should only be' telling them' that which they knew'. as , well as.limself;• but when'lie; as a judge of stock, told' them that one' animal - Was , better than another, they would agree with hint,, that cautious judgment and a lengthened experience were necessary, in reference• to the subject upon which that - judgment was brought'to bear. It was not for the judges merely to be able tolorm an opinion as to what was'the best form of an aniiiiatH-to be able to discern the 'outlines , above and below, lief Ore and . be hind ; but there'was something more intrii ate. than that.
