to appear under Miss Braddon's editorship, seems likely

WEST HEATS AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. —On
Monday evening the second annual dinner of this society
was held in the Corn Exchange, Watford. Owing to the
indisposition of the Earl of Clarendon, the president of
the year, the chair was occupied by the Earl of Essex.
Amongst the guests were Lord Chesham, Lord Ebnry,
Viscount Malden, Lord Rokeby, Captain the lion. It. W.
Grosvenor, M.P., the Hon. H. Cowper, M.P., Mr. Abel
Smith, M.P., Mr. Surtees, 24. P., and Mr. Alderman
Copeland. Lord Ebnry, in responding to the toast of
" The House of Lords," alluded to the great interest
which that body had as a territorial aristocracy in all
matters touching the agricultural districts. Mr. Surtees,
as one of the representatives of the county, took the
opportunity of referring to the Central Agricultural Asso-
ciation, which was in course of formation, and urged that
it deserved the rapport of all who were interested in the
cultivation of the land. It was Taisposed to establish a
Chamber of Agriculture, which should watch the interests
of agriculturists, and rapport or oppose the measures
which might be promulgated, and which were calculated
to effect their interests. Viscount Malden, in proposing
the health of the absent president, said that if the present
• government should, at no remote period, feel inclined to
• relinquish office, there was no man to whom the country
• would look more, and no man better qualified to take.
the reins of government than Lord Clarendon.
