EVERfON AND KIRKDALE WARD. . The Secretary of the Egerton Conservative Ward Association, (Mr. Daniel Ledson,) has requested us to Insert the followimr letters, which will convey a fair impression of the disposition of the various radical ward committees with reference to the system of whole sale objection which has been so unfairly resorted to : • • [copy.] silt,— Considering the vexatious inconvenience that must unavoidably arise, and the general ill-feeling which would be engendered by persevering in the attempt to establish the ob jections against municipal voters, and that the result of every revision hitherto made has been to leave each party in nearly the 'lame relative position as that held previously, I am au thorised, as . Chairman of the conservative .committee in this ward, to lay the following proposal before the chairman and committee of the reformers, us a means of preventing so much personal inconvenience and waste of time—namely, that each party shall at once withdraw the whole of the no tices of objection, and exchange a written agreement to that effect, signed by the chairman of each committee.—l have the honour to be, your most obedient servant, (Signed) ROBERT LEDSON. To John Hohnes, Eq. l cliairananof the reform committee in Everton Ward Everton, September 24, 1840. have the honour to inform you that your letter of the 24th instant, containing an offer for the withdrawal of all objections on both sideS against certain municipal voters in the ward, was laid before the Everton reform committee last eveni ng . The committee, having given the proposition their atten tive consideration, have came to the conclusion of respect fully declining to enter upon such arrangement., The committee, however, presuming there may be names found on both sides to which unfounded objections have been made, are willing to enter into an arrangement for the with drawal of any proportion which may be mutually agreed upon by a deputation from each party. Should this proposition meet your views, you will see the necessity of entering upon it without loss of time.—l have the honour to be your obedient servant, Robe r t L e d son JOHN lIOLMES. , Es q , chairman of the conservative C0L12.• mittee of Everton and Kirkdale Committee-room, Sept. 29, 1840. SIR,—I have the honour to inform you that your letter of Yesterday was laid before the Everton conservative com mittee. Through me they have to express their regret that the proposal to your committee, in their letter of the 24th inst., has not been accepted. - As they do not conceive that the proposition made by you in your above-mentioned letter would lead to the result the committee have in view, namely, the prevention of much i nconvenience to all parties, they must respectfully decline entertaining the proposition.—l have the honour to be, your most obedi en t servant. ROBE itT LEDSON. To John Holmes, of the E ton and irman vet' Kirkdale'keform Association. September 30, 1840. ANOTHER SCANDALOUS RADICAL TRICK Not content with the immense number of frivolous and vexatious objections which they have laid against the conser vative voters, the radicals have had recourse to a manoeuvre Which they have but too successfully practised upon former occasions —that of sending notes to the parties objected to, stating that their attendance in Me court of revision is not necessary, in consequence of informality in the service. The following is "Ty of one of these notes : " September 29th, 18-10. " Silt,-1 find upon inquiry that altough your name fiat of the Pilblished list of , objections to the Municipal voters, that the service has not been properly made. In order, therefore, to save you the trouble and inconveni ence of attending in court, I beg to state that I withdraw all objection to your name. " JOHN HARTLEY, . " Of Soho-square, Liverpool." Addressed to Mr. Robert Smith, of. the firm of • Messrs. Smith & Marrow, boat-builders. It Is scarcely necessary for us to remind our conservative friends that they should take no notice of these notes, but that they should take care to be in attendance in the court to substantiate their claims to be retained on the list. By the way, it would have shown a little more decency if Mr. Hartley had paid the postage of his waste paper. MR. BRINDLEY'S LECTURES ON SOCIALISM We again call the attention of the Christian public to that scandalous nuisance, under the name of the Socialist Hall of Science, that has disgraced the town of Liverpool during the last few months. Many probably are not aware that in this place arc taught, Sunday and week day, the most disgusting as well as the most blasphemous doctrines that ever were *Pawned upon society. It is true that, in point of numbers, they are truly contemptible, and have considerably declined since the exposure of their system by Mr. Brindley, about this time last year ; but still they do exist as a body, and the building continues to be used for the express purposes above referred to. We cannot, therefore, but hail with satisfaction that gentleman's second visit to us, knowing, as we do, the great good that has resulted from his persevering opposition in other towns ; and we cordially say with him, " Since the force of public opinion has driven Socialism out of other towns, let us now see whether the same result cannot be se cured in Liverpool." Let all rally round him, and hear for themselves the abominable character of Socialism, as well as the. scandalous fraud that has been practised upon the con fiding operatives that have trusted these irresponsible gen tlemen with their money. Let it be fairly tried, and if it be clearly proved against Socialism. that murder, theft, or any other crime is to be held unpunishable—that marriage should be entirely abolished—that all religion should be swept away —and that man is to prostrate his reason, and become, as well as a licentious debauches, an avowed AruEisr—if, we Say, - these things be clearly established against the system, let it ever after be held a disgrace in any man who shall countenance its advocates, or use, or encourage the using, of that sink of pollution, the " Hall of Science." This will hying them to their senses ; and this too is but a fair le gitimate course. If they are determined to continue to hold such principles, why they must hold them ; but let them associate with others of the same polluted tuinds, and not be allowed to fling around them their abominable filth in decent society. We do not hesitate to say, that to, sit in company with a Socialist is a degradation to which no respectable female ought to submit. It had used to be remarked, let them alone and they will die a natural death ; but this was tried for 13 years, and at the end of that time they had increased to something like 100,000 in numbers, with a regularly organised executive and legislative, and upwards of 70 organised branches in the prin cipal towns of the kingdom, managed by well paid mission aries ; now they do not number one-third so many, and many of the branches have entirely ceased to act, in conse quence of Mr. Brindley's having called public attention to their proceedings. Beyond all doubt they are dying, off here, and we feel confident the present meetings will not only accelerate their fall, but give them their death-blow. Mr. Brindley's lectures are of a very different order to those he formerly delivered here, and, if we may judge from last night's, in many respects highly philosophical and argumen tative, as well as having a sound, moral, and religious tone. A more complete demonstration of the folly and absurdity of Socialism, as well as of man's free agency and the power of conscience, could not well have been given than that last night introduced, which throughout was loudly applauded. Nor will those present readily forget his happy illustration of what would be the effect of the " cannot help it" doctrine, if universally practised and fully carried out. Mr. Brindley was interrupted once or twice by questions of the most irrelevant character, but no settled discussion took place. The subjects announced for the lecture to morrow are the marriage system of the socialists, and the practical results flowing therefrom. MEDITERRANEAN STEAMERS.—The Levant mail brings the results of the first voyage of the Oriental steam-ship, respecting which great inte-est has been excited. Although this vessel had to steam against a strong head wind and heavy sea across the Bay of Biscay, was further detained by a thick fog off the coast .of Portugal, and had a strong head wind during the whole of the passage from Gibraltar to Malta, she arrived at Malta on the 12th, within three hours of the time appointed. The total time steaming from Falmouth to Malta was 236 hours. The steam-vessel from Marseilles, carrying the Indian mail of the 4th instant, from England, arrived at Malta a few hours afterwards. The Oriental was detained at Malta by the orders of the port admiral but sailed on th e 15th a t two o'clock for Al exan d r i a . , PAWNEROKING IN GLASGOW.—At the meeting of the British Association, last week, Mr. Porter read a paper on the evils arising from the system of pawn broking in Ireland, and showing the advantages of the establishment of a Monte de Piete, on the principle of those institutions in Paris. Since he 'came to Glasgow, through the kind assistance of the Lord Provost and Captain Miller; he had made himself acquainted with the system of " wee " or little pawns in .gow, and be could assure the section that the evils aris ing from them were neither " wee nor little, In order to make himself acquainted with the extent of pledging in Ire land; and the profits to the pawnbrokers, az.c, he had at one time 30Q articles of his own in the pawn. He had no time, of course, to proceed in this way since he came to Glasgow; but, as in Ireland he visited the poor in the lanes, alleys, and garrets, so in Glasgow he had gone through the wynds and venal:, in order to see the actual condition of matters. In almost every door there was a " wee-" pawn-shop, and he was astonished at the control which Captain Miller, who accom- Dallied him, had over this class. They received the captain 'with kindness, and gave him every information. The result of this inquiry was, that there were 400 of these receptacles within the police bounds, and 300 without ; in' all 700. In one there w ere 58,172 ar ti c l es pawne d i n t h e course o f a year. the money advanced was from " a bawbce " to one shilling, average fourpence ; making, upon the whole, about half a million of money borrowed in this way in all the pawn-shops. interest obtained was 433 k per cent., or, for £loo4 ent , there are £433 of interest obtained. The attendance, not only of gentlemen connected with agri culture, but of those connected with other vocations who take an interest in that most valuable branch of national industry, was both numerous and respectable. We observed on the ground Lord Stanley and many gentlemen of landed property, of the highest respectability ; and were not less gratified to notice great numbers of our own town community, all of whom took a warm interest in the examination of the stock, implements, roots, &c. The arrangements in the yard were highly creditable to the committee and others who had the direction of the exhibition. Every animal shown had a fair stage and no favor; the same chance of competition was given to all who brought implements ; a shed was erected for the seeds and roots ; the pens for the sheep and pigs were well constructed ; and in fine, every particular department or article was so well defined by bills affixed to poles, and by tickets, that even those w h o h a d no t b e f ore w it nesse d an agri cultural show were saved the necessity of making general in quiry of those around them. The stock exhibited on this occasion was not generally as numerous as on the last anniversary; but the decrease in number was fully made up by the primeness of quality,—and may also be accounted for were it otherwise, from circum stances which neither the society nor the producers could control. In the first place, an epidemic has recently ex isted, (as we stated in noticing the last Birkenhead fair,) amongst the horned cattle in the south, though but slightly in this county. The circumstance, however, operated to a certain extent to the determent of some parties to bring up their stock. Secondly, the fact that the Royal Society will hold their meeting in this town next year, has induced others to reserve their stock for that occasion ; and thirdly, agricultural shows are on the eve of taking place both at ireston and at Chester,—from both of which towns a con siderable number of cattle would otherwise have been brought up. With, however, all these disadvantages the show was exceedingly gratifying. The horses were generally admirable, particularly the stallions, sevral of which •were pictures of strength, size, and symmetry, which a sculptor might have studied with advantage. We never saw more noble animals than the four first prizes. In horses for agricultural purposes, there were also some fine limbed, full cheated; and so compact as at once to convey an assurance of almost engine " horse power." The horses, indeed, exceeded in quality those of the three past years. The cows and bulls were, on the whole, equally worthy of commendation. Of the latter there were some of great size and fine formation. The whole were in excellent condition, and afforded an extensive prospect of " beef," that would have delighted an alderman. The sheep, though fewer than last year, were decidedly superior in quality, both in long and short wools. The pens attracted great attention. _ _ _ The show of pigs surpassed that of any former exhibition Df the society. An astonishing improvement has taken place in the breed of " porkers," and the specimens produced on this occasion were fairly overborne with fat and firmness. Those who had tickets to the yard, (after the business of adjudging the prizes had terminated) were admitted at half past twelve o'clock, and such was the anxiety amongst them that the gate was for some time almost besieged. A considerable quantity of fine roots and seeds were shown on this occasion. The greater portion of these were brought by Mr. Skirving, seedsman, whose nursery is at Walton, and who has long been a highly successful competitor at floral and Agricultural shows. Ile exhibited fine specimens of his own purple topped Swedish turnip. The bulks were fine, solid, and firm, and weighed about 201bs each. We also observed on his stand a new variety of the yellow tankard turnip ; also the purple topped bullock mangel wurzcl ; and several very large and beautiful white carrots for field culture. There was also a tine specimen of the green topped Swede. The only seeds shown were brought by Mr. Skirving. and we need hardly say they were examined by those who are judges of such minute but important matters with scrutinising eyes, and pronounced to be excellent. r . On a stand close by were shown some good specimens of mangel wurzel, from the grounds of S. Sandbach, Esq., one of which weighed 22 lbs. Many other specimens, of nearly equal bulk, and all of them excellent, were from the same estate. _ _ _ Mr. William Taylor, of Bootle-cum-Linacre, also showed some fine specimens of mangel wurzel, and some roots or bunches of conjoint or " conglomerated" potatoes, weigh ing, we should think, from 4to 5 lbs. each. These were, we learn, of a German sort. The show of agricultural implements was greater than we remember on any former occasion, and in several_ instances combined much of novelty and ingenuity. No fewer than six distinct machines were brought by Mr. Richmond, of Salford (Manchester). The whole of these were much ad mired. One was a grass-spreading machine, which it drawn by a horse over a field of cut grass will throw it up four or five yards, and scatter it most effectually for drying. Its construction, and the ease with which it can be thrown c-ta of gear, excited much admiration. Another was a turnip cutting machine, very simple and effective. Another a beau, grain, or malt crusher, equally ingenious. Also a small ma chine for the sowing of turnips with bone manure, that may be dragged by a lad :. this appears to be an excellent inven tion. A portable thrashing-machine, which will thrash out eight to twelve sacks of corn a day, by the labour of two men, was shewn by the same individual ; also several excel lent chaff-cutting, or hay and straw-cutting machines, with three convex-formed knives, verging from the centre of a fiy-wheel—a capital invention, or rather improvement. Mr. Cartmell, of London-road, in this town, (agricultural ma chine-maker,) also showed a similar machine, with concave cutters, which was equally admired. Mr. Vickers, ironmonger, of Manchester, showed many excellent hay-cutting and other machines. We also saw a most compact wheat-gripding machine, which, with a very small exertion of manual power, will grind a bushel in four hours, separating the chaff from the' flour, in different iron drawers. This was much admired. An elderly and ingenious individual, Mr. Robert Dimling, of Cavendish-street, showed a simple but very effective hay and straw cutter, which he worked by hand, without a fly wheel, with great ease and precision. The awkward attempts of some of the bystanders to try the machine, elicited some good-humoured jokes from the old ►wan in the Lancashire vernacular. Both of his machines, though not new, were sold on the ground. The most interesting mechanical exhibition on the_ground was under the root and seed shed,—a model of a drain tile work, at present erected on the estate of the• Earl of Derby, in this county. The building is comprised within a quadrant, the sheds for the drying of the tiles forming the sides of the rectangle, and the kilns being in the area in front of them. The model is a working one, turned by hand, and the exhi bitors explained the mode of operation, to the great satis faction of the company who crushed around them. At the work.at Knowsley, a ten-horse power engine is employed, and about 1000 tiles may be produced in the hour. The ap paratus for mixing and preparing the clay is very clever. The machine, attached to the same machinery, that turns out the tiles in a wet state, is so contrived that it is made to traverse the whole length of each shed twice, by double lines of railway, so that the tiles, as quickly as they are made, may be deposited in drying shelves by boys, without the necessity of walking beyond a very short distance. As the tirst and fundamental principle of agriculture in this humid country is good drainage, we hail this invention as one that affords great advantages to the farmer at a remark ably cheap rate. We learn that there is one of them in every parish in Ayrshire, and that the effect has been to import a high degree of verdure and vegetation to a before generally cold, unkindly, and inhospitable soil. Many Scotch and other ploughs were also shown, as well as other useful implements. On the whole, we may say that the agricultural show of yesterday gave.. great satisfaction, and the commingling. of landlord and tenant in friendly converse was truly delightful, and demonstrated, in a high degree, the general feeling of "live and let live." ANNUAL MEETING Or THE LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, Yesterday, the annual shew of live stock, implements of husbandry, roots, seeds, &c., took place in the Old Infirmary Yard ; and was succeeded by a grand dinner at Mr. Lucas's Repository, Great Charlotte-street. The shew on this, as on former occasions, excited very great and deserved interest, — the objects of the Society to promote the interests of agri culture, by every available scientific, experimental, and me chanical appliance, having evidently caused a generous com petition amongst the agricultural community, which has resulted in the most beneficial improvements in the culture of the land and the breeding of stock throughout the district. The following are some of the particulars. Tux SHOW THE DINNER The annual dinner of the members and friends of the So ciety took place in the evening, within Lucas's Repository, Great Charlotte-street. Upwards of 400 individuals sat down. Amongst the principal individuals present we noticed the Right Hon. Lord Stanley, M.P., Sir Joshua Walrnsley, Knt., Mayor of Liverpool, J. I. Blackburne, Esq., M.P., John Formby, Esq., Blackburne, jun. Esq., T. B. Crosse, Esq., the Hon. Captain Stanley, Grenadier Guards, Captain Phipps Hornby, Mr. Hilyard, &c. &c. Lord Stanley took the chair ; and the cloth having been withdrawn, The noble PRESIDENT rose amidst load cheers to propose the first toast. It was the health of her majesty the Queen, with every wish for her prosperity and happiness in every re lation of life, as sovereign, as a wife, and he trusted shortly as a mother.—Three times three. The PRESIDENT, in proposing the next toast said, that having drank prosperity and happiness , to her majesty the Queen in every relation of life, they must not forget that within a very recent period s h e had contracted an alliance, which in every relation of life, public and private, must pro duce the greatest effect for good or for evil, upon her happi ness and prosperity. (Hear.) He believed that no man would deny to his royal highness Prince Albert (cheers) the credit, and not the small credit to be claimed by a young man having just come of age, of having undertaken to till that most difficult, most delicate and responsible situation ; that he as a stranger had the singular merit of having obtained the good will ct all classes and the reprobation of none. (Hear.) With every wish that her Majesty's union with his royal highness Prince Albert might tend to her own happi ness and the welfare of her people, he begged to propose the health of his royal highness Prince Albert, with three times three. (Loud cheers.) The PRESIDENT then said, that if he deemed it necessary to say a single word in proposing the last toast, as that of a prince, who, whatever might be his merits, was but newly acquainted with this country ; he felt it was not necessary in proposing the next toast—(cheers)—which will be received with the respect he knew they all felt for her private virtues and public character. He begged, therefore, to give the health of her Majesty the Queen Dowager, and the rest of the Royal Family. (Cheers,) • The PRESIDENT said, that when he last addressed them from that place there were more prospects of the preservation of peace than he was afraid there were now. There was then very little prospect of the two branches' of the service of our country being called into exercise ; but whilst we entertained the most fervent hope, and whilst he entertained a firm belief in the prospect of the maintenance of the peace of the world, it was satisfactory to believe that the spirit of the army and navy was such as it had ever been upon former occasions; and that should we have to call for their services, they would not fail us in the hour of danger. By a recent lamentable catastrophe some loss had been inflicted upon the naval ser vice ; and among other losses sustained, was the destruction of three of those relics, which, although valueless in them selves, possessed great interest as having been attached to ships which had victoriously carried the British flag from One end of the world to the other. But if those relics were destroyed by fire, he was happy to say that the spirit of the navy remained such as it had been ; that it required no visible memento to keep it alive, and that when we had to call upon their services, we might call with confidence that they would do their duty as England expected every man to do. He knew not whether there were any distinguished members of the army in the room. If so, lie must apologise for calling upon a veteran in the navy who had seen some service, having fought in one or two battles, but who was now comfortably sheltered as superintendent of Woolwich Dock-yard. (Laughter.) He (the superintendent) thought, no doubt„he had a good birth, but he (Lord Stanley) Was sure he would not be found wanting in his duty if the interest of the country required his services. The noble chairman concluded by proposing in connexion with the toast, the health of Capt. phippy Hornby, which was received with loud cheers. Capt. Plum's Hottmar on rising to 'acknowledge the toast said, it would be vanity after the personal allusion the chair man had been pleased to make to his services, if he refused to return thanks for the honor they had done him in coupling his name with that. of the service to which he had the hoqor to belong. He felt proud to belong to that service because he knew it to be a noble service. He trusted and believed that in common with all the classes of the country, the navy had been going on in a state of improvement ; that whilst it was one man's business to plough the land, and of another to plough the sea, each learning something every day, the navy would also be found inure efficient for the service for which it was wanted than it had been for years gone by. He should be unjust were he not to put his noble relative right. There was a member of his own family present, who, though he had not fought at sea or seen much service, was still a very deserving officer. He trusted the chairman would allow Captain Stanley of her Majesty's Grenadier Guards to return thanks on the part of the army. (Cheers.) Captain STANLEY returned thanks on the part of the army in a brief appropriate speech. The PRESIDENT said the time had now arrived when it became his duty to turn to the real business of the night; when leaving the army and navy it became their duty to turn the sword into a ploughshare. It was not, as many of them must be aware, the first time he had had the very unde served honor —feeling unworthy with regard to agricultural knowledge, and he stated it sincerely, the office of presi dent of this society, and in that character of addressing them upon it. In whatever he had to say, of course, they would understand that he did not at all speak in his own name ; he spoke entirely upon the reports of others ; and in offering to them either his congratulations or his condolence he spoke not his own sentiments but the senti ments of others. The prospects of this society, like those of most others, afforded matter for congratulation and condo lence. For congratulation on much of the improvement that he saw around them ; for condolence, which 'ought to be addressed to those who were more sanguine of improvement than others at the commencement of improvement, that im provement had not been so great as it should have been. But he had the satisfaction of seeing, in the first paragraph of the committee's report, that the usefulness and the influence of the society was advancing, that the number of subscribers was upon the increase, that the state of the finances was better, and that the agriculture of the district was decidedly improving. (Cheers.) These four items composed a very satisfactory statement of the proceedings of the society. (Hear, hear.) The first object in societies of this kind was to excite interest, to increase competition, and to make the competitors aware of their own deficiencies, as the first step to improvement. It might so happen that to bring men to a sense of deficiency might considerably damage the number of competitors by confining them to the least chance they had of successfully competing. In the first instance, every man looked at his own pet bull, his own pet ram, his own stock, his own folds, and he thought, because he saw nothing within a mile which was so good, the world produced no better. .He extended the radius of his• observation through the medium of this society, to a distance of five, ten, twenty, or thirty miles, and found that, as the radius extended the possi- bility of improvement extended likewise. In the amount of the stock introduced in the show yard this day he believed there was a falling off as compared with that of last year, and that although the receipts of the shew-yard were about £l5O, there was some falling off. lie would not lay any stress upon this fact. .It -might easily be accounted for. We all knew that the uncertain state of the weather, affecting, as it did, the harvest, necessarily kept a number of farmers from pursuits they had not leisure to follow in the chew-yard. But he believed that the judges who attended to-day—there was only one of them, Mr. Palmer, who had on a former occasion acted as judge —were satisfied. He was happy to hear from one, that he was of opinion since he was last here, four years ago, the improvement was very percep tible in the young stock upon this occasion over that pro duced at that time. (Applause.) Another and very satis factory thing was, that farmers in the locality were beginning to turn their attention to the general cultivation and manage ment of their farms—that they saw their deficiencies more. and not only that, but they were becoming more emulous and more desirous of improving the condition of their farms. And it was most gratifying to he able to announce, that the number of competitors for the prize for the best cultivated farms and crops, comprising the general management of the farm, and the crops which were subject to the evidence of sense, was one-half more than it was last year, and that they were not less than doubled since the commencement of the society. (Cheers.) The judges who had inspected the farms stated, that they saw great improvements in all the essen tial branches of agriculture ; and it was more particularly gratifying to state, that there were great improvements in that which was the basis of all agricultural improvements— without which all agricultural improvement was worse than useless—without which it was as money thrown away to no purpose—he meant that there was a great increase in the manner, and in the quality of drainage. (Cheers.) As there was no portion of agricultural industry which was more es sential than drainage, so it unfortunately happened there was no district where drainage was so generally imperfect, where it was done• in a worse manner, carried on upon less scientific principles, with less combination, and that more over in a soil, generally speaking, the most retentive, and which more required drainage than this. It was, therefore, most satisfactory to say, that there were great improvements in the drainage ; and to see from the report, that not only were there a considerable number of competitors, but that the work had been done to a great extent and in an admira ble manner. It would not be deemed detracting from the merits of other competitors, if he mentioned that the chief prize for drainage had been awarded to Mr. James Wilson, of Southworth Hall, near Winwick, for laying 63,096 yards, or 36 miles, of drainage, for the improvement of 147 acres. (Loud cheers.) Allow him to add, that it was not only by carrying drainage extensively, but by carrying it on closely and deeply, that it could succeed ; and he recommended it in the tirst instance, although the outlay might be heavy— more than the means of ordinary tenants could meet ; yet still it was an outlay which repaid itself abun dantly if conducted skilfully. He was not in this case preach ing what he did not practise. He was not going to puff off his own goods, but perhaps many of them had seen in the show-yard to-day the model of a tile manufactory, which was at the present moment being erected at great expense upon his father's property, for the purpose of facilitating the pro duction of the best description of tiles. That single manu factory was calculated to produce upon the most improved principles, 1,500,000 tiles in the cour.,e of a year; and after allowing that he wished to give the first preference to his own tenants, he would further say, he should be ready to meet. customers, and he hoped there would be many customers to come. It was not for the sake of the custom, but for the sake of the improvement of agriculture that he mentioned. this ; and he felt that in placing within the reach of land lords and tenants a very superior draining tile, at moderate expense, it has no inconsiderable facility he was affording to the agriculture of the neighbourhood. He had already said he was quite aware that tenants could not undertake the whole expense of draining ; upon short leases it was impos sible to expect they should incur any very heavy expense. Of course the amount of assistance which the landlord and tenant owed to each other—for it was the duty of both—must be regulated by the duration of the lease, the nature of the soil, and a hundred other circumstances, with regard to which it was imdossible to lay down any general rule. But if drain age was conducted upon'sound principles and a scientific plan ; it was not too much, if the landlord incurred the outlay of it, to expect that the tenant should afford him a fair interest for that outlay during his occupation of the farm. The land lord's expenditure was for a permanent object, and it bore the largest proportion to the outlay ; the tenant's expendi ture was for a temporary purpose; which he ought to pay for ; and he (Lord Stanley) was convinced, that where there was a good understanding. between both, there would be no diffi culty in arranging terms and in finding capital. (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) He was sorry to say, with regard . to another very important point—namely, the improve ment of fences, there was a very small spirit of emu lation excited among the farmers. There were two premiums offered, one .of £5 for the greatest length of white thorn hedgejnot less than one hundred yards long, and another of £2 for sixty yards. For neither of these premiums did it appear there was a single claimant. He need not say to those conversant with agriculture, that next to good drain ing, these were the best evidence of the real spirit of im provement and skill of the farmer. He hoped, however, that at the next meeting, he should have to congratulate the members upon there having been some emulation on this point. The noble lord then briefly alluded to the different parties who had obtained premiums for long service, and said that they deserved honour. He hoped that this society was in course of gradual and steady improvement. I n the course of next year, the Agricultural Society of England would hold its meeting in this great town. In consequence of that meeting, he had no hesitation in expressing his confident anticipation, from the facilities of railways and canals, and steam naviga tion by sea, there would be collected in this town an assem bly which, for multitude or, merit, had never been exhibited in any portion of the universe before; and he believed the effect would be, in all probability that at their next meeting this society would feel themselves very small—and this Liver pool. Agricultural Society would learn that first and most im portant lesson—how much they had to improve. (Hear.) He hoped the result would be to increase emulation, and to give an additional stimulus to the energies of that which he believed was in course of steady if not rapid progress—which he now proposed to give as a toast—prosperity to the Liver pool Agricultural Society. (Loud cheers.) Mr' B. Crouse proposed the health of a nobleman who was a distinguished patron of this society—the Earl of Der by—(cheers)—a nobleman whose merit—public and private— was too well known and appreciated in this county to need any panegyric or eulogium. It was to be regretted that his lordship's infirm state of health incapacitated him from tak ing that active part in agricultural matters which he was otherwise disposed to do ; but nevertheless no individual took a more lively interest in everything connected with them and with the prosperity and welfare of the county. (cheers. The PRESIDENT returned thanks on the part of hi s noble) father in a brief and suitable address, expressing Lord Derby's attachment to the interests of the society. Mr. J. I. BLACKI3UIINE proposed the health of the chair man, as a nobleman who by his distinguished ability had raised himself to the highest honours in political life, as a firm supporter of the interests of agriculture, and as respected and beloved by all who knew him.. He begged to give the health of Lord Stanley. (Loud cheers.) Lord STANLEY, after acknowledging the compliment, proceeded to say, that in agricultural matters nothing was more injurious than the system of " let well alone." Farmers ought to know that what had been done by others in the way of, improvement could be done by thew. Many of them were men of small means, and they could n o t a ff or d to v i s i t those districts in which ie agricultural science was carried to greater perfection than it was here ; they could not by per sonal observation see what was done in those places, and they were entirely cut Off from trying experiments, because they could not pla;nly and positively see the result. He .(Lord Stanley) was desirous of remedying this state of things. He had consulted with several of the first land owners of the country, and he had received from them the most cordial promises of receiving assistance. The object he had in view was to establish in this town—the mart to which the agricultural industry of the country around was brought —a lending agricultural library for the use of the farmers. (Loud cheers.) The subscriptions from the landowners he prohibited from exceeding five pounds, and those from the farmers should be at the very low sum of 5s per annum. He therefore wished to give this public infor mation to the farmers of the neighbourhood, and to the agents and stewards of those landowners who took an inter est in it, and to request them to meet him that day fortnight, Thursday, the 15th instant, at twelve o'clock, at the Nep tune Hotel, where they would talk over the subject. (Cheers.) The SEC,RETARY then read the report and the list of prizes awarded : REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. The committee of the Liverpool Agricultural Society have the satisfaction to report that the usefulness and influence of the society is gradually advancing; the number of subscrib ers being a little on the increase—the state of their finances better—and the agriculture of the district decidedly improv ing. It is also gratifying to state, that the number of com petitors of best cultivated farm and for crops is much greater than last year, and double what they were at the commence ment of this society. _ It will be seen by the list of premiums that the committee have offered prizes this year for the best sainp l es of wheat, and for the best general live stock kept on the farm. For the first of these there are only two claimants, but the com mittee hope to see more competition another year. Fur the last there are more competitors, and the description of stock unusual in number and superior in quality. At the suggestion of various subscribers, and others who have been competitors, the committee have determined that the whole of the prizes this year—and for the future, if it meets with the society's approbation, shall be given in money. Should, however, any successful candidate prefer plate, they are desirous it should b e un d ers t oo d h e ma y have the same by making his wishes known to the secretary. Within the last few years an article of foreign production, called nitrate of soda, has been highly recommended to the farmer as a manure or top-dressing for corn and grass-land. The experiments with reference to it which have come to the knowledge of the committee, are at present so few, that they would decline giving a n op i n i on un t i l t h ey h ave th e result of longer experience ; and they would invite coinrincations on the Subject previous to their next annual meeting.

He had the pleasure of seeing the exhibition of this society some years ago, and he could assure the meeting that, although the numbers had not increased, the quality and general character of the stock had materially improYed, particularly the cattle. He could not say the same of the sheep ; but it must be considered that . - district. proud'of „. mat ttus was not a sheep The horses, were such that Liverpool ought to be The PRESIDENT next proposed the healths of the success ful competitors in cattle and horses, and coupled the name of Mr. Greenall with the toast. Mr. GREENALL in a very brief speech acknowledged the toast. The PRESIDENT, after stating that the society were under a deep debt of gratitude to the Mayor and Corporation of Liverpool, for their kindness in allowing the use of the land, and an eulogium upon their character, proposed their health. Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY thanked the meeting on behalf of himself and the corporation, for the very flattering manner in which they had received the toast. He stated t he senti- ments of his coltea ,ues, when he said t pressed with the importance of agriculture, and with the ne cessity of improving that branch of our domestic industry. They were also desirous of rendering to the society all the facilities which it is entitled to from its importance. The 'PRESIDENT proposed the health of J. L Blackburne, Esq., one of the vice-presidents of the society. Mi. BLACKBURNE returned thanks in an appropriate speech The PRESIDENT then proposed Mr. Ledger's health. Mr. LEDGER begged to return his grateful thanks. It had been stated that the duties of his office were onerous, and to perform them properly they were so ; but with every wish for the prosperity of the society he felt himself amply rewarded by the approbation which had been so handsomely conveyed to him. A x said fl• The CHAIRMAN said that he was gratified to see present a gentleman much attached to the interests of agriculture, Mr. Hilliard, who could afford the company some valuable infor mation on the subject of applying nitfate of soda to the land. His lordship, after furnishin e ,. , some details of the experience of Mr. Hilliard, proposed his health, which was received with great applause. Mr: 1-11mT . Ann returned thanks for the compliment paid to him, and stated that he should present his book on the subject to the society's library, and hoped it would speak for itself. After some facetious remarks with reference to the subject in question, he gave it as his opinion that the produce of the soil depended nerhans more iinnn „e L.. cuoice Oi good seed, than upon any chemical appliances. With respect to nitrate of soda, he must admit that he had applied it to such effect in a turnip-field that not a seed had come up. (Laughter.) He then related a remarkable fact in reference to the epidemic amongst cattle, skewing that the cattle in some fields were affected, while those immediately adjoining were unscathed. It was suggested to him, and he concurred in the probability, that the disease arose from the animals eating, with the grass, some sort of animalcuhe produced in the land in which they grazed. Several gentlemen iir — esent gave their testimony to the ex cellent effects of muriate of soda, when used in moderate quantities of from 1 cwt. a statute acre to a larger quantity, according to the nature of the soil. The - C - U4IRMAN then proposed the health of Mr. Lucas, who had again been a successful competitor. (Drank with much applause.)_ JonN SHAW'LEIGII, Esq., in a neat address, proliosed the health of the members for the county. This was re ceived with loud cheers: The noble CHAIRMAN said, in effect, that on such an oc casion all political feeling should be submerged. All he re quired from others was that they should Five him cre dit for entertaining his own political opinions conscien tiously, and he was willing to accede the same to those who might be opposed to him. (Loud cheers.) lie felt assured, however, and at the same time grateful, that all who were present, whether they _ agrveu or disagreed with him in politics, united with him in the promotion of agricul ture. (Cheers.) He could assure them that no individual difference of opinion would interfere with his desire to pro mote to the utmost of his power the interests of all his constituents. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) The Cu AIRMAN, in a very facetious and happy manner,' then proposed the health of " The Lancashire witches," which was responded to by acclamation. The last toast given from the chair was " Liberal land lords and industrious tenants," which, we need scarcely say, was drunk "con amore." resting char ac t er . .. vamn, Daftin, M. Jugnor, 11. G.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT RUNCORN.—It is our painful duty to record this week the death of Mr. Edward Lynn, surgeon, of Runcorn, under circumstances of a very distress ing nature, having last Wednesday put an end to his life by swallowing prussic acid. It appears the unfortunate gentle man had been labouring under a depression of spirits for some time past. About four years ago he was subject to what is generally termed a " religious melancholy," being at the time an attendant on the service performed at the parish church, then he joined the methodist connection, afterwards the calvinists, and last was a hearer of the Rev. Mr. Cox, at Trinity Church. This religious melancholy continued to hang about and depress him more or less to the day of his death and to all appearanc.^ was augmented by th e d eat h of his wife, in February last. One day during the last week in August he was missing, and could not be found ; his sick pa tients were desirous of having his attendance ; every place was searched, likely and unlikely without success; and, last of all, drags were employed to try the canals and ponds in the neighbourhood. His housekeeper stated, that when he left home he went in his usual manner, and she knew no thing contrary to him being in at the next meal. His rela tives and friends were much distressed, considering him then dead ; when, on the 4th of September, as two of his neigh bours were about to get into the railway carriages at Whit more station, Staffordshire, the deceased came and booked for Moore, hear Runcorn. ' Upon expressing their joy at see ing him, and quietly remonstrating with him for absenting himself so long without any notice, thereby causing his friends so very much trouble, and at the same time damaging his medical practice so vitally, he merely stated that he had been on his business. On his return to Runcorn, he re turned his vocation, and appeared as usual, up to Wednesday ,as morning last (the d a y o f hi s un ti me ly death), when he was shaved by Mr. Roberts, dressed in the manner he generally to his room.uerallis • y did, breakfa s t e d a t n i ne , an d soon after wept up a room.

From the description, Holt suspected a young man whom he had seen in Seacombe on Tuesday evening, and on the fol lowing morning, he went to the Abbotsford Hotel there, and found him in bed. Holt, on entering the room, charged Johnson with the robbery, when he declared that he was not the person—he was a gentleman, and that he would prove to his satisfaction presently —at the same moment turning himself round, and placing his hand under the pillow. Holt, suspecting that all was not right, seized hold of the youth, and dragged him on the floor, and on removing the pillows, he found a loaded pistol, capped. On being secured, Johnson said " I am the man you want ; I lived with Dr. Creighton, a physician, of Salford." The officer afterwards searched the room, and under'the pillow, found a purse, containing thirty sovereigns and seven .guineas; and in another place, twenty sovereigns and three £5 bank notes. When- before the ma gistrates, Johnson entreated them to send for his master. Mr. Walker, clerk to the magistrates, had taken care to do this as soon as the circumstances came to his knowledge; but the gentleman did not appear previous to the breaking •up of the court. The prisoner was remanded until Monday next, or in the mean time, the case will be heard, if the pro secutor appears. The magistrates bestowed the highest commendations on Mr. Palmer, special high-constable of the hundred, for the admirable arrangements he had made, by which the whole consmbulary force was kept in• such an ex cellent state of discipline. They also bestowed the greatest praise on Holt, for his services, especially in reference to the capture of Johnson, which displays so much tact and dis cernment. NEW CHURCH AT NORTH BIRKENHEAD. BAZAAR.—We last week noticed the exertions of the con ductors of the bazaar in Birkenhead, held kr the purpose of assisting the fund raised for erecting a new church there. J. D. Case, Esq., hasbcen unremittin g. i n hi s atten d ance to prOMote the good cauSe; and the ladies presiding at the stalls have never shrunk from their arduous labours. We are glad to he able to state,. that up to Wednesday night £460 was received in the room and at the door. We think the following description of the church, for the erection of which this bazaar has been held, will be accept able to our readers:—The building is of the Norman style, but much lighter in its proportions and details than the early examples of the order; so much so as to give it an air of originality, an attainment not often_made with judgment, or even an eye to ordinary proportion. In this instance it would be unfair to condemn the architects (Messrs.-Cunningham and noble) for having stepped out of the beaten track. For malists may easily observe and point out a difference— for candour and liberal taste to see the merits of the tra, gression. The plan of the church is simple, being a parallelogram, with chancel and tower at the entrance. Tile tower is a fine design, a good deal ornamented, and what is-of much conse quence to the main point, the ornament neither make: nor mars its beauty. That, according to the rule of nature, con , sists in a very few features. The first we would instance is the belfry windows, and perhaps this is the finest thing in n a the whole. Th- .ne next is the set-off from the lower to the upper division Of the tower ; but in this praise we can scarce ly include the huge winged head supporting the clock. No UOUUC It is meant for an ancient grotesque Bead, but really it looks too like an absurd satire on a bishop. Indeed, take the heads in general (and there are not a few of them), we al., _ unnic they might nave been better. It is curious sometimes to observe the two sides of a mistake. The heads, intended for living heads, seem all either dead, or sleeping with their eyes open, while one or two death's beads, among them, have a very animated expression indeed. But perhaps they were made so for the sake of the moral, in which light they.are not bad heads at all for the money. The entrance door is double shafted, and much higher for its width than the old Norman, which, with due deference to the ancients, .we think, is an improvement. The drill ding over is carved in the form of fwo serpents twining- We do not know the emblem of the thing as mounted on a pony ug, cu trutn of the officer's s I severe reprimand f rom t h e B enc h , t h ey were eac convicied and after a A CRACKSMAN TRA.PPEI Holt, the constable of Seacombe, what is well known, introduced to the Court tact as an oftic ne apprehended on Wednesday 'milling, under the following circumstances.
