MEETING AT EXETER.

A Teri fall meeting assembled in the Reform In-
stitution Room, in Exeter, on Wednesday evening last, for the
purpose, es the bills expressed it, of sympathising with the
heave Hungarian nation in their present struggle for inde-
pendence. Mr. Cluniza Trunnion, the president of the
institution, was in the chair. After disposing of some formal
business,
Mr. Councillor BARRINGTON rose and said he had
much *mum in Introducing the question of the evening,
end amg inmertent end Interesting sullied it was—one
peeulimly memeted with the objects of the institution. He
emeasionally saw upon their walls, end always upon their
Ags and banners, one great and vital sentiment—" Civil
and religious liberty all over the globe ;" and if
there was a spot in the habitable world more
sewed or holy where freedom was now contested, it was
that spot at present polluted by the tread of the Austrian
despot and the Hamden serf, (Chun.) The Hungarian
nation was more peculiarly entitled to consideration, as they
mere not rising for an extension of their liberties, bet were
merely smuggling for the preservation of those liberties
which they had enjoyed from time immemorial—thou liber.
ties which had been guaranteed by each succeeding Austrian
Emperor as Ring of Hungary, with the exception of the
present
Emperor. (Hear, hear.) If, then, the appeal on
behalf of the Hungarians meted on that me simple ground,
it would command at once the sonntamens sympathy of
every Englishman. (Cheers.) But, elm, there were not
wanting other reasons for rousing the snessaters of this
straggle to deep execration of the barbarous . After
Venting at the interest which England mast fisleemaeereially
on the subject, the bon. gentleman concluded by raying it was
a duty incumbent upon Englishmen to impress upon the
government the absolute necessity, by an energetic protest
—and, thank God, a protest from Ragland was some-
thing—the necessity of checking the stride of the
barbarism over a free, brave, and noble people. (Great
cheering.) He proposed :
" That this meeting regards with the greatest ad-
miration and sympathy the noble exudes' of the
Hungarian nation to maintain invi3late their ancient
liberties and constitutional independence from the tyrannical
encroachments of Austrian despotism; and it views with ab-
horrence the atrocities committed by the Ramo-Austrian
authorities in Hungary, and regards the intervention of
Runde se a violation of the law of nations and dangerous to
the peace, freedom, and general we:fare of Europe."
Kr. STROWBRIDGE seconded the resolution, which
was carried unanimously amid great *applause.
Mr. Councillor RICHARDS moved
" That her Majesty's government be respectfully requested
to protest against the interference of Russia, and to rue,-
nine the independence of Hungary and its provisional
government ; and that these resolutions be embodied in •
use/aerial signed by the chairman, end forwarded to Lord
John Russell."
Mr. Richards said that, if anything could exceed
Ruston despotism, it was Russian barbarity. His
claimed an interest for Hungary, because it was a
nation known for its moderation, with a constitution
approaching very nearly to our own, sought to be trampled
in the dust by the power of Russia, which was always
foremost in anything mischievous sr despotic.
Mr. BTANDLAKE, a working man seconded seconded the
motion. The Hungarian constitution, if effectually carried
out, seemed rather better than ours, for they had triennial
parliaments, vote by ballot occasionally, and a re-election of
magistrates every three years. He was an advocate of
national arbitration; but, if any one went is war, he hoped
Turkey would take up the cudgels, though he trusted Hun-
gary would gamed without foreign interference. He
fooled upon the struggle as between absolutism and demo-
cracy, and he heartily wished that the latter might win the
fight.
The resolution was carried by acclammation.
Mr. BARRINGTON proposed a vote of thanks to the
only morning journal word of consideration, as the advo-
cateof liberal principles and of parliamentary and financial
reform, viz., the Daily New% That journal was entitled to
their beet acknowledgments for its uniform rapport of those
principles and its hearty sympathy with the Hunparian
Cause.
The =dot wee seconded by Mr. Wawa?, and carried
amidst great enthusiasm, the CIAIRMAN observing thlt a
goad paper which would stick by the people was a great
thing—the Timesjuroped so, they nom knew where It was.
(lanatir.)
A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, and the
meeting separated.

TRH ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF

IRBLAND.

The annual show of the 'loyal Agricultural Society,
as stated fa yesterday's Emma, was held in Dublin on
Wednesday, en the grounds of the Royal, Dublin Society.
The attendance of nobility and entry wee net numerous,
bat that was is a peat 110.111 Alf• owing to the levee. It was
ezpseted that Prince Albert could have attended, but his
royal highness wee obliged to defer his visit until the follow.
fug day. The Alessi:Jut wu 'oicupled by the Jude' in the
examination of the various Mapes of stock, agricultural
implements, ita. and it was not until the afternoon that the
entrance to the :hew-yard were thrown open to the public.
Contrary to impeetation, the attendants of English and
Seotak agriculturists was bet sean.y.
The arrangements in the various departments were ex-
ceedlealy complete. In the boat yard of the society's house
isMoPvishe* to black cattle and swine) no alteration was
made or required in the order in which it was laid out for
the last spring exhibition of the Dublin Society. But very
extensive scomamodation had to be presided on the lawn
frontin4 Rerrionoquare, which was appropriated for the
show of the implements of agriculture, the horses, sheep,
and poultry. Hero, at the extreme earl of the square,
a nest and substantially" constructed; range of wooden
sheds, divided into eompartments, and extending
length nearly 100 yards, was erected for the various
of horses. At a convenient distance from, and ramie( pa-
rallel with this was aline of open sheds, also of timber, for po-
lished implements of agriculture. There wise spacious peas for
sheep, with an maple area between them and the other gree-
ting, and capable of amommodatiog a very large number of
eteoh. Some mamma for the supply of refreshments, site.,
completed the arrangements.
' I. the pearl erg bull department, a elan which generally
emareands pashas, the highest interest of say, there was a
shortnees in the number of entries, while, on an average,
the tinality of the anima's could not be stated to be of prime
exeefience. The two-years old, both balls and heifers, were
to some extent liable to be similarly characterised. The aged
balls. however, were, for the greater part, of very superior
pcetseakess.
la the milch cow department we feel gratified to be able to
state that we have seldom witnessed a better display.
The tot beast dames presented bat an Indifferent appeas-
es.* as to quality, but for the moos some of the animas ex-
hibited a very fair Amish.
Amongst all the varieties of horned stook ens eliserved
scarcely sup entitled to especial Bodes if we except a seven-
monthe-old WS calf of the pare Devea breed, the pro.
party of Lord Charlemont. A. more priest specimen of
symmetry and good points has bees rarely witnessed at any
exhibiton. _

A short Nora yearling heifer, exhibited by Mr. Benjamin
Wilson, Brawl*, Yorkshire, wee deservedly admired.
In the sheep dosses there was little requiring especial
notice. The pens were but thinly furnished, and the stock,
consisting mostly of Leicester% some South Downs, and a
few Cheviots, offering nothing for comment.
The show of horses—es hitherto almost invariably the
cass—was small, not amounting altogether to over forty
animals. Amongst these were 17 or 18 ins, the remainder
brood mares and foals, all, with two or three exceptions, of
the homy agricultural breeds, and genitally of tolerably
fair proportions.
The swine classes presented a very cheering prospect; fat
pigs in moderate number*, bat inefficient for the season. The
young broods, however, were puma highly conditioned,
highly-bred, and, as far as we could o , in smart de-
mend. The exhibition of agricultural implements was the
largest and most varied we have ever seen en say similar
occasion, and we were glad to perceive that they were objects
of very general attention.
The show of new connivances for the ensuring of mom
perfect culture of land and the abridgment of rural labour
formed not the least interesting feature in the exhibition.
There were loose furrow and subsoil ploughs in every
variety; sowing, harrowing, weeding. and thrashing ma-
chines of the latest and most approved construction; dairy
machinery, in patent churns, steaming machines, Be. was
presented is TAM= shapes and models ; farm cart; and
rollers; in, short, it was a sort of museum of the best of
everything in this way.
Amongst the specimens of implements and machinery for
agriculture) purposes, we we were proud to see that the ire-
ingeas presented for exhibition by the proprietors of Irish
factories were to the full as &termini and as excellent in their
way as any exhibi•el under very ostentatious signboards by
the great English end Scotch nianfacturers.
Amongst the English and Scotch productions we Indeed
what doubtless was meant se en inimitable displa by the
representatives of the great Manchester factory of R
and Chandler, in cutting and steeaaing machinery. We
must say the specimens were admirable. There was she
the booth of Garrett and Sons, manufacturers, of Saone.
The great attraction here was the tile-cutting machine. It
certainly does its work very neatly, producing its half cylin-
ders of tempered loam with great rapidity and correctness of
shape.
Robert Law, of Glasgow, and Gray and Son, of the same
place, had some good sorts of turnip-sowing and top-dressing
machine., and some well-contrived fans-carts.
But far the best, because the most evidently useful and
applicable to the sericulture of this country, were the
truly splendid specimens of Irish menafectun presented in
this department. Robinson, of Wan, exhibited so
admirable piece of machinery, calculated to be of vagt sod
vital importance on large farms. It was a portable steam en-
gine on wheels, of five-bores power, capable of being attached
to the gear of any farming machine in harvest, for threshing
in winter, for pumping and draining, for cutting fodder of
all kinds, for grinding corn, for bruising grain or beans for
cattle, for chopping straw, for working a cow of churns in a
large dairy, in short, a small servant of all work, requiring
but a minimum of fuel, and capable of being drawn as wily
as a loaded cart to any part of a farm, or from one farm to
another. This engine was shown at full work. It is on the
high pressure principle, with boiler and all on the one frame,
mounted on four wheels. It works with en oscillating cylin-
der and direct attachment between crank and piston-rod.
Is will:do the work of six best tans horses in any of the
=us we have enumerated. It is • credit to Irish me-
skill. Ritchie and Co., of Ards., county Louth,
ham on exhibition some admirable planof thrashing and
winnowing apparent, as also turnip drilling and sowing
=whines. We misdeed • variety of sub-soil ploughs and
borrows fopteritgagsendi that seemed to any good judges
Is be the of mesbasken.
The poultry mope ignited poorly enough in comparison to
gnat they have hew I. feet, we regret to perceive that
elds, one of the most really useful branches for agricultural
senspetition, appears to be latterly very rapidly on the de-
ans. What may be the cause of this we do not pretend to
my, but this we know, that mere than one of those who
have hitherto more spiritedly competed in this department
Measly complain of not being at all well treated by the
satiety.
The exhibition of roots, grasses, Be., for competition was
meagre in the extreme.
Mr. James Jones, of Newcastle, Newtownmountkennedy,
exhibited various specimens of wheat grown by him. The
most remarkable of these was a sheaf of red straw wheat, of
rams promising appearance as to great productiveness, and
of early ripening properties. The grower expected; and
with apparent good reason, that, weather permitting, the
crop would be tally ready for cutting within ten days. The
maw agriculturist showed varieties of Tauntaadean and
Dam Maria wheats also well headed and fast approach-
ing maturity. These wheats, all of the white kind, were
MOM to have been grown upon a light limestone sad clay
seL
Dr. Graves contributed • specimen of uncommonly fine
acres, fully ripe. It was raised, we understand, at Comfort
Moue.
Taring from the articles for competition to the society's
mussaam, we noticed in its extensive collection various oh-
join of high interest. Amongst them several reently
instructed models of agricultural machinery, dowdy
notated in brass, and pretesting very clearly the
spelt which they ate intended to act. The simplici
nastruction in many of them, as spring carts, oat and ban
mills, light handthrakiog machines, &c., is peculiarly
worthy of attention, and would ropey • visit to the museum.
Within the last six weeks, through the indefatigable exer-
tions and well directed skill (under, of course, the auspices
of the committee) of Mr. Carrigan curator of the society,
a splendid and moat interesting collection of natural gnaws,
combining almost all the varieties that the soil of this islead
produces, has been added to the other usetul stores of this
department.
The following Bret& breeders toted as judges of the
cattle :—J. Tore, H. Booth, and J. Smith, Elem.
TEE DINNER.

A very magnificent banquet was given at the Romania in
the evening. His Grace the Duke of Leinster presided.
Asacegst time present were the Lord Chancellor, the Mar-
(sis of Londonderry, the Earl of Erne, Lord Bernard, Lud
Mooch, the Bishop of Down and Connor, the Earl of Clan-
carty, Lord Clements, Lord Dunlo. Sir Percy Nugent, the
Hon. Charles French, Professor Otdham, &a.
Grace having been said by the Bishop of Down and Connor,
The Dyke of LaINSTIn rOllO and said they had been accus-
tomed at all times to drink the health of their Queen with'
enthusiasm; but, under the present circumstances, when
they had her Majesty in their own city, he was sure tilt
they would receive the toast with more than ordinary Gnaw
deem (Lend and loag-oontinued cheering.)
The noble duke again rose, and propoeed the health& el
the Q teen the Queen Dmaor, Prince Albert, the Primaeval
Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family tCheers.) He
regretted that his Royal Highness had not been able, owing
to the various oesupations which had engaged his attention,
to honour the so:iety by hie presence on that occasion, but
he
would do so about four o'clock on the following day
(Thursday.)
The toast was received with the loudest and warmest
&ems.

•
The noble CHAIRMAN then propowd " The health of the
ord Liea•enaet, end Prosperity to Ireland."
This tout also having 11118 A received with enthusiastic

'-The noble Cretimete stated that before he gave the next
tout he shoutd exprees his regret at the ab sae of the Lord
Mayor, whe was unable to attend from another enneement.
The tout which be would give was, "The Lo:d Mayor, and
prosperity to the city of Dublin." (Coen.)
Mr. °Roma Roe, is the abases of of the
Town Council, returned thanks.
The Noble Czetzweie then proposed " The A:wend the
Navy." He said that be had never been in the army him-
self; bat his noble friend, the Marquis of Londonderry, was
a distinguished soldier, and he was sure he would return
thaalm
The Marquis of LONDONDIAIIT mid he had been celled
apes by the president to return thanks for the profesaion cu
which WO bad the honour to belong -he responded to the
call with great pleasure. It had often fallen to his lot,
being one of the oldest alma in leer hisjest)'s service—
would he amid say the most meritorious—to return thanks
for the toast which bad been proposed ; bat he confessed
that, pleasurable as that eeltiltilel bad been to him upon

varies' ocessiors, it never bad been so intense as ea tLat
occasion, when he was called upon b. Ir.l.nes first dust,
whose chartetee and coaduot stood unrivalled and an

Nulled in the annals of his country—(cheers)—but further
Una this, he felt upon that occasion that he steed as an
humble Irish =Minis that noble Rotunda; and he returned
thanks to whom ?—te those lad-victuals whom he sa
and who, with great intiller, talent, and industry,
endeavoured to advaaes the agricultural interests of the
country. The noble dub* who presided had bees pleased
to refer to the period when he was engaged in the Peninsu-
lar war. He had been in the country as a soldier for about
half sowing. He knew every leek of thempital; but he
could WIDE them that he never telt more eethadastleally
attached to it than whin pawing through College-green
the day before yesterday (Monday) ; sad when he posed
the house In width he wee born his heart heat to behold
his and their Sovereign greeted as she had been. (Chasm)
She had beta noticed with enthusiasm—he might say
iatoxieation —by her Irish people, and in a manner
superior to bar reception in any part of the world.
(Cheers.) He had followed her Majesty in different puts of
her empire, and he felt convinced that she had never met se
elorions a reception as in the city in Dublin. (Chinn.) He
did take upon himself to tall the ministers of the country
that those who had =seeded them, and thee:mins also,
never had sufficient moral courage to urge her Majesty to
visit her Irish dominions. He did not know whether his
opinion had any weight with the =bantam bat he was
charmed to find that Noce afterwards her Majesty declared
her intention of musing to this =entry. (Cheers.) He would
ask them was he not right in his advice? The reception
which her Majesty had received had almost made her forget
fora time the other parts of her dominions. (Cheers) He
hoped that her Majesty would again retain to Ireland ; if
she did so, he would hail the event as one likely to con-
duce to the prosperity of the Agricultural Society of Ireland.
He might dilate upon the battles which had bum fought by
Irishmen, and the captures which they had made—be
might bring them through the campaigns of the Peninsula
down to the battle of Waterloo—be might allude to their
victories upon the banks of the Sutlej, and the enormous
advantages which they had gained in the Punjaub —he
would merely say that those who had mainly contributed to
attain these great results were almost universally Irishmen.
(Cheers.) He would then sit down, and call upon them to
remember Wellington and the army which he commanded.
( The )marquis of LONDONDIRIT proposed the next toast,
elTlie Royal Agricultural Improvement Society of Inland."
In preparing this toast fee their consideration, be begged to
observe that ha was perfectly aware of the important =teen-
age= which this society had conferred on agricultural labour.
(Rear, hear.) W hen he called to mind the great is which had taken place is his own part of the country,
he felt constrained to admit that it was mainly owing to the
valuable exertions of the Royal Agricultural Improvement
Society—(Cheers)—and he was convinced that if the farmers
of Ireland adopted and carried out the valuable principles
laid dawn by that society, they would secure at least twice
the amount of their premien profits, notwithstanding the dis-
ease which had unfortunately attacked the potato crops.
(Cheers.) He was thoroughly convinced that if they were
indulged with occasional Tithe from their beloved Queen,
peace and prosperity would speedily spring up within this
unhappy country. (Cheer.)
The toast having been drunk.
Lord BERNARD returned thanks on the part of the Royal
Agricultural Society, and in doing so testified to the entho
elastic reception given to her Majesty by the people of Cork,
and other pars of the south of Ireland, on the occasion of
her recent visit to that city.
The President proposed " The Vice-President, chairman,
and Council of the Society."
The toast was received with applause.
The Earl of Rain said, es one of the via-presidents of the
society, he begged to return thanks for the manner in which
the toast had been received, and he had the honour of doing
this duty for some of their friends who wen absent, though
he was sorry that some NM not present to perform it
rather than himself. He could MUM the meeting that
the president and vice-president were not, as might be sup-
posed by some, a mare ornamental or melees appendage,
that they were not like a piece of old family platy, that was
brought out once a year, or on state eceasone, and after-
wards locked up. (Laughter and load cheering.) They were
tot a set of fusty old gentleman who made no exertion
(Cheers.) No, they ware men who were doing their
duty to the society and to the country ; they were resi-
dent in Ireland, and doing their duty in promoting
the Improvement ;pt the land—(cheers)--and he was
glad to see that the society was, through the exertions of
these who managed its affairs, prospering. (Hear, hear.)
Ireland was an agricultural country, and by the advance-
meat of its agriculture it must prosper. (Hear, bear.) This
bad not been sufficiently understood, for he felt that the
agricultural classes had not availed themsalvi s as they might
have dons of the advantages and resources which this
country possessed. (Hear, hear.) Instead of importing a
strong smelling stuff from other countries to manure their
soil, have they not limestone, peat mould, marl, &c., upon
their lands, which could be more cheaply and advantageously
used fee this purpose ? (Cheers.) Then, as to drawing, so
much needed for the improvement of the soil, had they not
atones sufficient on their land to form drains wherever they
were required ? (Hear, hear.) And had they not also
clay suitable for =skin/Ades for draining as good as any they
cord get elsewhere ? Tiles could be made as well in this
country as in any other, and they could be purchased for 7s.
or Bs. a thousand. The people of this country had the finest
land in the world, and this had been sometuaes to them a
disadvantage, for it produced a sufficient supply of food
with but little labour, and they had often only scratched
the top of the roil without cultivating it as they should
have (tone. (Hear, hear.) Hew were they to make the
soil more productive ? By promoting a better system of ,
agriculture among the people, and thus improving the
producti of their land. (Hear, hear., How was
this to be dons ? By bringing before the people information
as to the best mode of cultivating and lamming the soil.
And how was this information to be obtained? By local I
agricultural associations in connection with this society.
(Hear, beer.) These they should support, and by doing so
they would Improve the country. But it might be said,
We have no money to do this." Why, they could get
money for any object which they desired to accomplish. They
all got money to come at this time to Dublin, and they could
also get it to promote the imoroyement of the agricultural
resources of the country. (Hear, hear.) They had heard
much about California, yet they might make Ireland a Cali-
fornia. If they wished to promote the welfare of the
country, let them give a strong pull, and a loop pull alto-
gether, and the ship would right itself. (Cheers.) From a
return which had been given to him, he found that the so-
ciety was advancing, for they had now one hundred members
more than they bad lest year. If they, therefore, wished
Ireland to prover, they must support thissociety. He re-
turned the members his sincere tUnks for the toast which
had been proposed.
Viscount Mon= then proposed " The Judges of the
Show," which was received with great applause. He said
that on the efforts of the geademen who had been appointed
• great deal of the benefits which the society was calculated
to impart depeaded. (Hear, hear.) He would say to those
whom he addreeeed that their efforts should not cease with
the present meeting. These meetings were intended to
confer • permanent benefit on the country, and to show the
breeder how he might improve hie stock. Having had the
honour of being on the management of the council, he could
stets that they had selected the best men they could find in
the British empire as the judges. It was needless to eulogise
them, for they were well know* as extensive and successful
breeders of cattle, and he oonld not say anything from what
had come under his own personal notice as to their exertions
that day, for, as an exhibitor of stock, he did not go into
the show-yard, and therefore did not see their
exertions. He could, however, state on authority, that
their judgment, skill, and assiduity, met with general
approbation—(cheers]—and as far as he (Lord Menck) was
concerned, he could state that he folly concurred in their
judgment, for, as an unsuccessful competitor, he was well
and fairly beaten. (Cheers.) That Irishman did the greatest
good to his country who exerted himself to advance this
most important object. It wai with such feelings as these
that be proposed The health ante judges who had allotted
the premiums at the cattle show that day." ' (Cheers.)
Mr. Toes, from England, one of the judges, responded to
the toast. He said that any services they now rendered to
the society had horn amply repaid by the manner in which
their health had been received, and the warm eulogium
which had been passed upon their efforts by the noble lord
who had proposed the toes,. The judges had many diftl-
cries to discharge in the performance of their du lea, but
be trusted that they had acted conscientiously, end he was
glad that their decisions had given satiefacion. (Hear, heir )
If ever there was a time when the agriculturists were erlled
upon to usei every advantage within their reach, and pat
forth all their efforts to improve their sell, the =recut was
that time. Vie low price of produce demanded greets'
efforts from them in order to maintain their position. He,
as a tenant-farmer, said that they mast for this purples
greatly increase their efforts. The object of the Royal
Agricultural Society of Ireland was to teach the people
how the greatest quantity of food could be produced at the
lowest possible price, and this was an object that required
the united efforts of all. It could not be attained without
the gran and co-operation of three ruses—the landlords,
the tenants, and the labourers; and how was this to b•
aceomplished ? He bed found the Lilt gentleman as gene.
torn the tenant as industrious, and the labourer as cap iele
for working as same elms in England, and yet they had
lament. d the sad difference that existed between 'be etre of
Ireland and England. (Seer, bear.) Something mun be
done to promote the co-operation between the landlord., toe
tenants, and the labourers. They could not improve the
land without canitd, and no capital would be invested ins
improving the agricultural condition of the c =Pry without
an adequate security for property. These °ejects must
be seined in order to improve the 'grit ulture of Ito 1a.,0,
and dent-lop its resources. (Hear, it. a-.) He thanked
them for the kindness and hopinlity shy had eh ie a
to him, and the only drawback on the pleasure he
hsd felt from his visit was the absence of their sten -
tery, Mr. Sullen, from the present meeting, on acc.unt
of the state of his health. The offide of *judge ea tie
show was to impart a correct tare for the improvement, by
setting such a mark on an animal as would botd to its b ine
tab= forth, in order to propagate its species. Mr. Ton re.
✓uined re seat amidst applause.
Mr. BALL, honorary nee tart', read the list of premium ,
in the absence of Mr. Millen, who bed been prevented by
indisposition from attending.
Mr. Horse said that be had teen called rep on to proper
the health of the successful candidates: and allude• to the I
advaatage deriv'd be the society from the op nine of their
premiums to English and &sottish come etir, es, in itesd of
eireuentribiag them to local *mind s. (Chinn )
