The CHAIRMAN responded for the Army, Captain
Emil/MON& R.N., for the Navy, Mr. Ougnar for
the Yeomanry, the Csalas us for the Militia, and
Limit GOOD for the Volunteers.
The CHAIRMAN gave the health of the Bishop and
Clergy, and Christian Ilinisters el all denominations.
The Rev Prebendary GROADLIT responded, and
complimented the agriculturist" on their progressive
spirit.
The Rev Mr Fox bad been most employed at sea,
where they heard not much of agriculture. To boson
they had " ploughed" the deep—(letigister)—had had
something of risking" their wieraies—(laughter)—and
plenty of "drilling"—(renewed laughter) but the
most he had lately experienced was "rolling "—(eon.
tinned laughter).
Rove Mr Yearns and Mr POWER also responded,
Mr T. COLIMI gave the health of the Lord•Lionten-
ant and magistrates.
Mr. FLOTIR responded,
Mr. Joe, Gooney gave the health of the members
of Parliament present, Mr Floyer, Sir James Elphin-
stone, M.P. for the borough of Portsmouth, and their
own member, Mr Mitchell—(applause).

protracted applause. He begged to thank Sir Moiyneux
Neiman, the vioseshairman, his good friend Mr.
Gundry, and this large company, moss sincerely for the
great honour they had paid to the county members. It
would indeed be • bad day for him if he did not feel
deep gratitude in returning thanks for snob an honour
as their receiving the toast of their health', in such •
manner as they had on this occasion. It was indeed
gratifying, and members received it gratefully, not
bemuse they wore Whigs or Tories—though there was no
man that felt more than he (Hr. Floyer) did the
portance of party action in Parliament—they received
it not as followers of Mr. Gladstone or Mr. Disraeli,
bat as an acknowledgment of their endeavours to do
their ditty and serve that country to which it is their
pride and happiness to belong—(hov). That duty in
the last session of Parliament had not been very SOS,
for they had had work and plenty of it. Bat wean
they came to look at what had been done—when they
came to sum up, he would not say so mach about it—
(laughter). If they applied that favourite principle,
which his esteemed schoolfellow was so fond of —the
principle of payment by results —(the ..1111.IRMAN : "Oh
Ia r —laughter)—he was afraid the wages they had
earned would not be found very good ones. TOO next
thing was to try to account for this. Many people
had tried to aocoont for it; Mr. Brim, the Home
Seeretary.had been travelling about the country, trying
to account for 11—(laughter). Some people say it is
because the members make such long speeolies • but
thou that is mot of their business—(a laugh) -Others
say, and perhaps his right hon. friend their respected
member may be pleased to say so. "It is all owing to
that Opposition l"—(laughter). And if he should say
so, he (Mr: Floyer) was not altouther certain but he
should agree with him ; " but then they must remem•
her." said Mr. Floyer "that is our littsinose"—(renewed
laughter). "When the Government brings in bills,
and they bring in plenty of them, it Is our business to
out them up, and we have some pretty good hands at
It, and I believe it is pretty generally allowed
that the right bon gentleman the member for Oxford-
shire, is about onetiest hand for cutting up •bill that we
have in Parliament. There are • good many others—
my right hon, friend on my right, whom I am rejoiced
to seen in Dorsetshire—and I hope this is not the last
time he will honour us with his company—(beer. hear),
—and there are others like him perhaps not with quite
so much experience, there are others of Os who try to
do our duty, and mitate his bright example. But
thin. if we have had some delay in public, busineis. I
think it is but fair to oon:ider that has not always been
the coarse the Opposition have taken. There have
been some instances, not very remote, in which
the Opposition have given what their opponents
ham acknowledged to he a 'generous support
to the Government." It was acknowledged that on the
Irish Lad Bill,the humble contribution of the Oppo-
sition had not been altogether unavailing. Last year,
when we had a measure second to none in importance
as to the welfare of this country, • right hon. gentle-
man, born not very far from here, and who is • credit
to his native parish, and a credit to the wooly of
Dorset, was pleased to say that the measure was hp
debtei for its moms in some degree to the help of the
Opposition. That shows that though we always oppose
what wo think Inoue, we do not oppose what we
believe to be right. But all these things are past and
gone, and we cannot alter the past. We may alter the
future. What is that future likely to be? I think it
is likely to be very much like the put. I have often
hoard of "a good time analog," mid I hope IA haa corns to
many present here to-night; but whether or not there
is • good time coming for members of Parliament, I do
not think it is likely to beau ilk time. The Govern.
went have looked out a good deal of work for us, Mr.
Brume has already got on his Ale bills enough to make
one's hair stand on end, and as if there was nothing else
for us to do, there are a good many amateur bodies who
at that season of the year meet together and provide
us more work. We have hardly get home, shaken
hands with our friends, walked round our little patri-
monies, and seen how the farm gets on, before these
societies are hard at work keeping the pot boiling. At
Leeds I believe there snot • society, which engaged
Itself de connihes rebus et quibusdasi of its about
everything in the world and something besides. They
have toutibed upon IRMO topics very interesting to tut

man was more industrious and assiduous in his duties
In the House of Commons- (Lear). For himself be
should not have intruded upon their notice but for the
fact that this year, for the first time, they had conde-
scended to make this town the place of meeting of •
great agricultural society. He was delighted to witness
e hat he hope I might be the beginning of periodical
assemblages, because Inc understood they were to meet
here every two years. Bridport for • good many years
had • very bad chancier indeed in the county of
Dorset, because it returned to Parliament some 25
years *go two members who were dreadful free-traders.
But free trade was carried, and for the result he
appealed to what had been said by his hon. friend
opposite. Free trade, which he (Hr. Mitehell) always
believed to be a measure of great benefit to the whole
kingdom, had resulted in • great addlition to the
profits of those who understood their tininess, and no
one who did not mold succeed at the present time. The
whole country had been stimulated, and the result was
increased consumption over the kingdom ; the wealth
of the artisans had been increased, and the prices of
producielalso. Again free trade in increasing tho pros-
perity of the consumers has increased that of agricul•
turista by stimulating them to increased energy and
I skill in the growth of their oorrmodities. He there-
, fore thought Brid port did not deservethat bad chancier
i wlich it had 25 years ego. He was happy to see such
! a largo assembly of Dorset agriculturists, and hoped
their meeting here two yams hence would be equally
' large-(applause.)
Sir JAIL ELIIIINfiTONC was revolved with protracted
cheering. He came here accidentally to visit • relative
who had received an appointment in this district; but
he little thought he 'Mould have the happiness of
attending such an important meeting, presided over so
ably as that had been. As to the show, although it
was not enormous, there was nothing there that would
not be • credit to any showy•rd in the kingdom, and some
of the animals would have taken prises anywhere.
As to the measures which may be offered in tho next
session, he hoped members of Parliament would parti-
cipate in the reforms looming in the distance' and if
Mr. Gladstone would give , them a ten hours bill for
the House of Commons he would be uncommonly glad
to welcome it, for he had many day' remained fifteen
hours in the House, The members selected to
serve on Parliamentary committees, of whom he was
one, often were engaged thus all the morning, and sat
in the House et night, so that they were obliged after-
wards to fly to the top of the Highlands to regain that
strength of whith they had been deprived, He must
plead guilty to being one of that party who did a rood
deal to obstruct some legislation, and they often did a
good day's work in doing so-(laughter). But they
were often blamed for the laches of the Government,
and it reminded him of • time when a cover was drawn
where they pretty well knew all the foxes were trapped.
An ordnance survey had been going on in that part,
and when they a•koi the gamekeeper where the foxes
had got to, he said with a knowing smile, 'Well sir,
I don't know; but I think them 'ere sappers and
miners has taken 'em all"-(Inughter). As long as
constituents returned them to Parliament, their mom.

the head of the table, who bad been in the army and
militia and is now a riflemen, and who is reedy to
serve his country in any capacity-(applanse). They
all thought it • good day when the old family estate of
Lvders was weepier' so hospitably by one of the old
family name of Nepean-(three times three and one
for Lady Nepean.)
The CHAIRMAN humorously returned thanks, and
gave the "Health of Mr. Bartlett. "Mayor of Bridport,
and prosperity to the town''-(applause.)
The MAYOR returned thanks. The town has much
commercial prosperity, and he hoped it is progressing
socially. He welcomed the sagely to Bridport, and
promised that the inhabitants would heartily do any-
thing necessary to further the object of holding future
meetings-(appluuse.)
