A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS,"
eentaining the results of the day's Races, is pub-
lished every evening during the Sporting Season, at
o'closk.

these timee of political anxiety we learn to
a dear, substantial, unmiagled political er
success. Any firm, assured step of progress
national welfare, any method by which all gain
rhils nobody loses, in either material or moral
.spects, is keenly relished at a time when govern-
ments are anxious, and statesmen perplexed, and
parties effete, and nations hardly able to tell friends
from foe*. This is no doubt one reason why the)
meeting of the lt,,yal Agricultural Association at
Chester has been so mocesefal this year, and so
thoroughly enjoyed. Experienced members say that
no former meeting could compare with it, for energy,
effectiveness, and cheerfulness. At no former meeting
. the spectacle hare been Chore remarkable, er
suggestive ; and those who know old Chester
'at once see why. Looking down on the green
which, enclosed by the river and the city
, forms a natural lists, every stranger at ones
thinks of the old aristocratic and popular sports—
tournament, or the Church festivals and fairs—
ehich brought people together in crowds in former
notaries; and the contrast between the ancient
observances and those of last week is too striking
too self-asserting to need to be enlarged upon
)or anywhere. That set of suggestions we may
pale.

is of more practical importance to remember for
another parrs* what Chester once was. The
Romans had placed it too high up the river to make
good port, and before there was a Liverpool to
,t it, it had received its doom in a commercial sense

wool, coal, and water-power were in its neigh-
bourhood ; and afterwards cotton came in from
abroad, and iron from the soil. Manufactures and
commerce arose. Far-sighted men foretold the con-
sequences, as regarded agriculture ; that, as dense
popu!ations thronged the great and growing towns,
the demand for food most encourage and develop
tillage. The multitude (and especially the political
majority) were long in seeing this ; and food was
led, in order to repress the manufacturing interest,
the protective policy could be endured no longer.

not many years since the general notion
that the manufacturers were the ingenious,
knowing, calculating, inventive, and speculative

farmer had only to learn the old rules, and carry on
- old operations with the old implements. The
speech of Mr. GLAorroxe, on Thursday last, shows
- the cue is changed—how much more resource,
and knowledge are needed now to make a
successful farmer of a man with 6,0004. of capital,thaa
