THE MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL AGRI-
CULTURAL SOCIETY.

The eighth annual exhibition of live and dead
stock took place on Monday, in the Cricket Field, at St. ,
Helen's, The weather being exceedingly propitious, there ,
VOA • very amorous attendance of agriculturists and others ,
interested._ The show of animals was somewhat smaller
than on former occasions, but the rrality was eseellent. Of
insolent'ste there was • great variety, while of roots and
seeds there was so lack; and, upon the whole, we can
congratulate the society upon this year's exhibition, indica-
tire, as ft wire, of progress.
A lap number of gentlemen afterwards dined together
at the Market Hall, Lord Stanley in the chair.
After the usual loyal touts.,
Lord 13e•sxxv begged to propose one which was almost
new in the records of public dinnen in Reiland, but which,
although new, would not be the leas welcome—the " Empe-
ror sad Empress of the French." He might almost say Me
Emperor and Empress; for in this country, at present,
there was oily one imperial health which they would receive
with any great cordiality. (Loud cheers.)
His lordship nest gave the " Army and Navy," to which
Sir R. Cisarian, Bart., responded.
Lord SUNLIT nest, in bad terms, proposed "The
Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," and, to prevent even the
appeareacis of Invidiousness, would include la the tam the
' elstp of all denominations.

The health, of the patrons (Lord Derby and Dlr. W.
j r.I) having been drunk,
LACZWIJUII proposed that of the noble president,
which was received with loud cheers.
Lord STALIILIIT rose, amidst load cheers to respond—
He said, if his duty on raring were lignite" to the simple
&amities of returning thanks, he would not think it seen,-
=l„rionigy much of their time upon so insignificant •
Pagasnally, be bad no claim upon their gavotte but
ems—semely, that as Lancashire men, they were apt to
eutertam • warm and kindly feeling towards see who bore
lan old Lancashire name. (Loud cheers.) But it became
kis duty to propose that which was justly and emphatically
felled the tout of the evening—" Success to the Manchester
sad Liverpool Agricultural Aseociation." (Cheers.) The
state of the association was, as the Their, satis-
factory. Last year there wore 483 subscriber.; this
they nearly amounted to 600. (Hear, bear.)
leilr did not [stead to eater—fee, indeed, be was not comps
teat to de se—upon any practical remarki, as to the improve-
meat of which the mode of farming was susceptible in
this country. There wee a streag feellog, and • very
eemmeadable Gee, upon the minds of ell man of seats,
that every am should stick to his own business, and talk
of that which be understood, and of that only. Now,
he was not versed In fuming, and he did not pretend to
be; but there were some palate in connexion with agri-
culture which, as a public rasa, engaged in public (maniere,
it would he difficult not to perceive. In the first place,
he would say that, in the present state of English agricul-
ture, there was great room for improvement, and, at the
frame time, he would say, equal necessity for it (Hear.)
It was estimated that in the United Kingdom there were
77,000,000 scree, of which 47,000,000 were cultivated, well
or badly; 16,000,000 waft* and irreclaimable; 16,000,000
which ought and might be cultivated. That was to say,
of the entire soil of the country there were three fifths cult'.
rated, ourrfifth which could not be brought under
tion, and oae.fifth which could be, but was not, But
this was a partial and inadequate test. It was not of
the lands left waste, but of the lands bat half cultivated,
that they should speak. It was calculated that by
splayfoot to the fullest extent the resources of modem
scream the produce from the land would be three times
the present amount. At present they fed, say twenty
millions of men; if the resources were fully developed
they might feed silty millions; and this wee not dm
but based upon positive calculation. (Hear, hear.)
referred to the capability ; be would now deal with the
necessity. The value of the agricultural produce of the
country, aceordieg to the statements of the Statistical
Society, was 216.000,000 L steelier. He did not know
what the private income of the United King•lom was
—it was unknown; bat probably the agricultural pro-
does was over half the whole, and be would leave his
beaten to judge how vast would be the effect both
apse public sad private prosperity of such a develop-
meat of the egrieeltoral resserees of the weepy,
as reeler* teisase weakd warrant them is especting.
Bat thews was another point of view in which they
might and ought to consider it. This Englaad of theirs
ranked amongst the first of the nations of the earth. She
possessed everything requisite—wealth, intellect, public
order, ardente. There was owe requisite only wanting to
her prosperity. And what was that t Her narrow area
and eireassecribed territory. And no nation, morally and

narrow limits. It was clear they could not extend the
area—the days of conquest were gene by, and there were
no unoccupied land to fell beck upon. Thee what re-
mained f The only resource in this state of things was to
en if they could not virtually extend the area by
extending its productive powers. Nations bad quer.
celled for increased means of supportiog their
people. It was for this object that battles bad
been fought, and blood had been shed, and countless
treasures wasted ; sad that object it was in the power of the
people of these countries to anon by applying the resources
of
winos. One doctrine had been insisted on, that land
dissid be more easy aad free to boy and sell than it was at
punt. There were legal difficulties in the way, but the
.it, obstacles were social. National feeling—the pride of
sessaistion—was the sentiment which madonna reluctant to
nil ; but the pummel sentiments and feelings of individuals
should give way to the oedema necessities; and be (Lord
Stanley) did not Imitate to say, that the man who, oosseioas
that be could not improve, and 'mill sell, sad who still re-
tained in his own hands, was a weeng doer. The weeny
would have a right to say to loch person," Use your land

ilMifflgeoil Estate Act, but be wasted that nets man should
have the power and the will in his own bands. Till these
things were dose there would be no sound footing in the

ma. His lordship sent referred to the epplicationof machinery
to agricultural purposes. This was • great feature of the pre-
mat time. No doubt difficulties arose in the application,
which did not exist in in-door operations; but he believed
that inanimate labour was &teethed ultimately to supersede
hand labour ; and that was sot only a radical, but a 'moral
and social change, of which it would be hard to to the
importance. (Hear, hear.) After some rewires on general
egricaltural statistics, the noble lord concluded by propos-
