MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL AGRICUL-
TURAL SOCIETY.

WARRINGTON, WZIMIZSDAL
The fifteenth annual show of the above-named
society was opened here this morning. A preliminary show
of implements only was held yesterday. The show
ground is a field of fli acres, lent for the occasion by Colo-
nel Patten M.P., situated close to the Landon and North
Western Railwayi station. There is ample room for the
various kinds of stockexhibitid ; and the whole arrangement
and accommodation ppear to have been provided in the
most complete and satisfactory manner. The show itself ix the
hugest ever held by the society, except the one last
year at Ashton, and with that exception it is perhaps also
superior in respect of the quality of what is exhibited.
To-day the weather has been brilliant • consequently the
show has been visited by great I:mut:ere of people, in-
cluding many ladies, and if to-morrow should prove equally
favourable, there is every prospect of a highly successful
pecuniary result. The town is gaily decorated with banners,
&c., and full of holidaymakers and visitors.
Although. this year the total entries are somewhat lees
than those in 1861, being 1,740 as against 2,150, there is an
increase in several of the most important departments. The
moat interesting part of the show is that of implements and
machinery. There are 70 stands of implements, and 967
entries. The exhibitors are from Manchester, Liverpool,
Warrington, Leeds, Lincoln, Sheffield, Carlisle, Knutaford,
Birmingham, Gloucester, Herefordshire, Grantham,
other parte of the country, and there is one exhibitor from
Canada. Steam engines are at work in every part of the
field set apart for implements, making bricks, driving cir-
cular saws, and setting all kinds of machines in motion. A
more complete collection of steam-engines has probably
seldom been brought together. Among the prim-
cipal exhibitors are Meears. Richmond and Chandler,
of Salford ; Messrs. Pickaley, Suns, and Co., Messrs. J. and
H. Key worth, of Liverpool ; and Messrs. Clark and Son, of
Leeds, who exhibit 41 entries of harness, saddles, and bone-
clothing. Several Warrington exhibitors, of whom Mr. It.
Cookson makes the largest show, have contributed mate-
terially to this attractive portion of the display. Rather
conspicuously above the tenta arelloatieg the" Stars aad
Stripse,"from the stand of Mr. Fuller. of Manchester, wise
exhibits a good collection of Wheeler and Wilson's sewing
machine.. Mr. Bradford, of Manchester, has also his washing-
machines here. About 30 vehicles, comprising broughams,l
sociables, phaeton, drags, gigs, whitechapels, and basket
carriages, are shown by Mr. W. Thomas, of Liverpool.
Mr. Robertson Gladstone, of Broad-green, exhibits a newly-
contrived waggon, the chief feature of which is the great
ease with which it will discharge it. load.
The show of horses is unusually good, the thoroughbreds
being of fine quality. The horned cattle are below the
average in number. The show of poultry is extensive.
There is but a scanty exhibition of roots, vegetables. fruit..
and flowery but there is nothing to complain of on the score
of merit. The entries of horned cattle are 73; of
horses, 119 ; sheep, 92 ; pigs, 63 ; poultry, 138 ;
geese, 11 ; duck; 27 ; turkeys. 3 ; cheese, 13 ; but-
ter, 22 ; seeds and root., 74 ; saddlery, 4. There
are also ninety-nine competitors for special prizes given by
the Warringtoe local committee to amateur cottage gar-
deners and others. There are twenty-sesen entries of
flowers. Mr. Henry White, of Warrington, has the gene-
ral direction of the showyard arrangements, hut all pre-
liminaries of the exhibition have been ably accomplished by
Mr. T. B. Ryder, of Liverpool, the secretary. It does not
appear that many sales are effected on the ground.
Inside the main entrance, and in different parts of the
ground are large placards announcing that subscriptions
would be thankfully received for the distressed operatives
of the district, and boxes are provided for deposits under
the care of a militia sergeant. The hands of the Warriugton
Bluecoat School, and of the local rifle volunteers
are in attendance. Among the earliest arrivals of visitor
to-day were Lord Stanley, M.P., Colonel Patten, M.P. (the
president of the society for the year), Mr. Burgess (Mayor of
Warrington), Sir R. T. Gerrard, Bart., Mr. Greenall, MY.,
Lord Sefton, and Lord Skelmersdale.
The annual dinner of the society was being held this
afternoon, at the time this report was despatched. Colonel
FATTEN, M.P., prerided. The dinner took place in a large
teat on the show-ground, accommodating about 400 persons.
Lord tiKELMIRSDALI proposed "The patrons of the
society, the Earl of Derby and Lord Egerton of Tattoo."
Lord STANLEY, M.P., who WWI warmly cheered, res-
ponded on behalf of Lord Derby, and added—No man, I
think, can look at this country now, and recollect what it
was fifteen or twenty years ago, without being able to bear
from personal observation his testimony to the value of
associations such as this. No doubt we have still some-
thing to learn and a great deal to do, but no men can now
travel a mile in any direction over the cou.itry which
be remembers some year. ago in this neighbourhood
without seeing that crooked fences have been levelled, that
small fields have beet laid together, that morasses have
been drained, that weeds are lea, frequent than before, that
laud which was formerly unproductive from wet has been
brought under drainage into a rich cultivation, and
above all that, gradually and slowly, vet steadily, in many
departments of agricultural iudustry hand-labour is being
superseded by implements of the clam which we have seen
in the show-yard. (Cheers.) He concluded by expressing re-
gret that there was not a larger number of tenant farmers
in the association, and proposing the health of the chair-
man.

MR. HENLEY; M.P., ON AMERICAN AND
ITALIAN AFFAIRS.

Yesterday the annual dinner of the Stow-on-
the•Wold and Chipping Norton Agricultural Society took
place at the White Hart inn, under the presidency of Mr.
HUEY Bemorr. Amongst the guests were the Right Hon.
Mr. Henley, M.P., Colonel North, M.P., Colonel Fsne,
M.P., Admiral Leigh, Colonel Dawkins, Colonel Payne,
Osptain Thornhill, and a large number of other gentlemen
oorineeted with the district.
. .

Th. Right Hon. Mr. HE ET, in responding to the tout
of "The Members for the County," said there were few
topics to which members of parliament could advert on
oocaaions like the present, with the exception of that unfor-
tunate distress under which our fellow-countrymen in the
north were suffering, and those topics were fortunately at
a distance from our shores. He could but heartily hope
that it would please Gad to enlighten those who were
bent upon cutting each other's throats without any good,
reason that we could understand for so doing, and bring
them to a better state of mind, so that peaceful relations I
might on established, and we might receive those supplies of
which we were so greatly in need. (Hear, hear.) With re-
gard to Italy, there had been a kind of revolution going on in
that country, and a certain class of people were glad to kick
down the ladder by which they had climbed to eminence.
In the history of the world that always had been the case
and always would be. Honest and sincere men west ner.
tain lengths • more long-headed men gained the advantage,
and having obtained that advantage the more honest men
were cast adrift, if they did not fare worse. (Hear, bear.)
This was too much the character of the events that were
occurring in Italy at the resent moment. All he hoped was
that the honest man would fare better than they seemed
likely to do, and that the really good and deserving men
would obtain that advantage which they deserved, and
which that unhappy country desired. (Cheers.)
