most schismatical aid otherwise unwarrantable attempt to
tarry nut the preteusions of the Popedom—pretensions which
our toretathen utterly repudiated at the R. formation, and
which are alike unecriptural and unprimitive, contra-titled
by the laws of the universal church, and specially condemned
by an early bishop of the R,men see, the great and mainly
Gregory, who, ails well known, emphatically declared, " He
is an anti Christ who shall claim the title of Universal
Bishop," and in whose words we would add, " Let that
bluphemous name, by which the honour of all bishops Is
taken away, and madly arrogated by one to himself, be air
hornet to the hearts of ell Christians." And while thus
protesting, we entreat you to hold counsel with your brethren
of the episcopate, and to adopt in concert with them such

the doctrine, idolatrous in the worship, and corrupt in the

CLUB CATTLE SHOW.

This exhibition finally closed last evening, after
having received faring the tour preceding days an impute
dented amount of public' patronage. It would be very
ditileul to estimate the number of persot s who have visits.
the show this year. Fortunately such an inquiry is not ne-
cessary; it is suftHent to know that the popular feeder
extended to the exhibition will have a very beseficial West,
orengthemi g its resources, sod enabling the committee to
carry oat the objects of the club in a more enlarged manner
than has hitherto been attempted.
The market was rather better yesterday and when the exhi-
bition clad last evening very few salmis remitted unsold.

TSB DINNER.
The anniversary dieser of the members of the club took
plus last evening at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Doke
of RICHYOND, president of the club, occupied the chair, and
was Deepened amens other by_ene following gentlemen :
The Berl of liudwiekeL_Sir Watkin Owen Veil, Colonel
Stlnhorp, Y.P., Mr. J. Villiers Shelley, Hon. Henry Wit
eta, Mr. C. T. Tower, Mr. R. Bather, Mr. H. Standreth,
Proems., Simonds, Mr. Mechi, Mr. Fisher Hobbs, Captain
Sibthoep, &o. About 80 gentlemen set down.
The noble CHAIRMAN proposed the health of her
Majesty the Queen, a sentiment always received with seek-
mations is every part of the country, and which Ite was
sure would be peculiarly acceptable to the member
of the Smithfield Cattle Club. (" Heir," and cheers.)
Her Majesty and her royal consort having this year
expressed a desire to visit the cattle show, after consulting
with the stewards and the hon. secretary Mr. Student'
Gans, he was empowered to inform the Queen that the
committee of the club would feel greatly flattered it her
Majesty would be pleased to honour the exhibition with a
visit on the day the judges 'marled the prizes. This
arrangement was gracioualy approved by her Majesty, who
with characteristic kinds's', and aossideratioa felt moat
anxious not to jottings upon the days set apart for the public
to view the show. Her Majesty oecordingly visited the
exhibition on Moeday, end he had the grat.ficatioa to inform
them that both the Queen and the Prince, after viewing the
show, expressed themselves faigtly pleased. (Loud stout)
The trust was drank with great euthanasia
The noble CHAIRMAN, having given use health of the
Prince Consort, the Prints of Wale,, and the other members
of the Royal family, proposed " Success to the Smithffeld
Cattle Club." lie wit sure it would be most gratifying to
every member to know that notwithstanding the fi iuring
financial conditlon the club was in last year, it was in a still
better condition this ye ir, having euffionat mosey is baud
to pay all the premium neat year, without touching the
subscriptions. (Cnet re.) It was impossible for all those who
had visited the show not to sine with the judges and the
old member of the club, teat the stock exhibited ten year
was not only more numer.us, bat of far greater merit than
any shows to former years. (Hear, hear.) Admitting the
advantages of erase breeds in sheep, the noble duke
advised the members of the club not to lon sight of
the isisporteace of preserving the pure breeds, es without
them no advantageous • cross ' could be obtained.
(Hear, hoer.) He had no apprehension as to the succeu
of the Smithfield Club, so long as it was supported
by disgust body of the honest, intelligent, and industrious
tenantry of the kingdom; sad withoat further teaspoon*
upon the company, he would all upon them to drink
" Success to the Smithfield Cattle Club." (Loud cheers.)
The toast was enthusiutically menet
The census prism were bete distributed by the noble
chairman to the successful competitors. This ceremony can-
eluded,
The Berl of HARDWICKE proposed the health of the
noble chairman, a lout which he was eerier... Rid be received
with acclamation. (Lend cheers.) la the pneence of
the ruble duke he would not dilate upon his chum:bee
especially as he was fully convinced In wee tho-
roughly appreciated by all those present, not only in
consequence of Lis connection with the Smithfield
Club, but also for the great interest he always evinced
foe the 'Outten' interests of the kingdom. (Cheers.)
He felt that to the zcal and energy with which the noble
chairman dischutted Lis duties as patron of the Smithfield
Club, they were indebted for a l..rge portion of their pros
parity. (Cheers.) la obedience te the rules of the club, he
should avoid all political allosiou, but he could not join •
party either of commercial men or agriculturists without
observing Low they look-d, and he mut ray that the present
company did net generally exhibit that rotundity which was
emotions wondered the diniegainting leature of thi seri
cuiturista. (Laughter.) Tois, he was led to Deli. ye, mast
either result from some peculiar prawn an that claw or
from the meeting not blot generally unsposed of turista-
turista. However, they had nothing to do with that at pre-
sent, the oblect of their meeting being to promote tha interests
of the Smithfield Club, but he trusted that ere long they should
receive some explanations relative to the agricultural intents',
more especially from those experimental farmers wins*
example the yeomen of Ragland were invited to follow at
this juncture—out of whom (Mr. Mechi) be was glad to see
present. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) The noble owl
econeloded by proposing the health of the Duke of Itiramond.
(Hue, hear.)
The toast was drunk with three times three.
The noble CHAIRMAN acknowledged the somplimeot
a few pertineet remarks. In allots. to the presents of Me.
!litchi he said be was rejoiced to find that that gentleman
took so much interest in their proceedings as to come among
them. He was glad 'het eentleman was trying experiments
in agriculture, for, whatever might be the retitle it must
prove advantageous to the femme of England. Should Mr.
Meehi'm exionnacno prove successful ha would b: entitled
the gratitude of the agricultural body, who might avail them
velvet of the results of his experiences, while, if he should
peeve un•ucoesst at he would be equally entitled to their thanks
for having shown them what they ought ta avoid. (Hear,
hear.) He concluded by proposing • The Health of the
Earl of Hardwick, and the other Vice-Proideuts of the
Club." (Cheers )
The Eat of HARDWICKE feared he was a better
a ilot than a farmer. though he had for some years de-
voted a great vino& et his time to the study 01 that
important art. He had hod the honour of exhibitive at
their show, and the good fortune to receive a handeome
prise. (Hear.) In his opinion the present system adopted
by the club in awarding the poses was uot a good one, aa it
could not be told with eersaioty bow long the animals had
been under feeding, how tiny were cod, or what was
their reel age. He thought that the proper method
would be to take the inimale when they were lean,
put them up together, and feed them ups the nine
food, and then it would be asterisked by the
speed with which they fattened which animal was
of the beet blood. (Hear hear.) He was pouted
to put up his animals under that spies, though he he
aware it might be attended with some difilculties, and he
challenged all Ragland to compete with him. (Cheers.)
Like his tackle friend, he, too, was glad that Mr. Ileclei
was trying experiments, and he begged to offer hie tribute
to him for those experiments; but he could not kept that
they bad not yet seen the Wanes...beet, and until that was
produced he met considt r that nothing at all had been dote
towards proving how $0 torduce the largest crops at the
smallest me at wet. (Hear, hear.) If Mr. Mute's agri-
cultural system proved successlul, he would certainly ba en.
titled to the largest gold medal that they could give him ;
but to prove that, the balsam-sheet must be pc-
duce& (Rear, hear.) If it should turn out that Mr.
Mechi, by another besieges, could raise capital from
the a do of 'summate for reaping the beards of the Queen's
'abjure, which he was willing to expend fa reaping ersin
it was clear his exutele could not be followed by tits
who had to live upon the produce of their land. (Hear,
hear.) The soble earl concluded an energetic and eloquent
speech, by expressing his opiates. that if from any cause at
was found that the cultivation of the land wee set yowling
profitable to throe employed upon it, and the literates, were
thus thrown out of the means of obtaining an honest living,
it would become the duty of all parties to unite in obtaining
Nome measure Itr the relief at the agriculturias, failing
which the worst ammonites must ensue to the Country.
The noble earl was loudly cheered oa resuming biome.
The ordinary routine touts followed, and were severally
seknowledgid. atter wbicti the party separated. It was seder-
stood that Mr. litchi was iothilus to reply to the abeam-
doze et the noble charms and Lord Hardwick., but no
opportunity offered.

Lower than last year, because the profits were not

Ilie7 not be wasting their resources, and be Manny
mites up by the suaseletorers for upper ? It was all
very wall to say that manufacturets were ewes on very well;
bat, ociatinued the hon. gentleman, I ask Mr. Mathews what
is the state of the iron trade jun sow ? I ask Mr. Chancel
what condition the glass trade is in? lea Mr. Shaw
whether commercial affairs are In • satisfactory state just
nowt All 1 eon say is this—that if large busineeses do not
produce a fair profit for the risk and the capital embarked in
them, that they are only robbing their neighbours of • lair
than of the work of the country, whilst they were spoiling
trade and ruining all concerned in it. (Hear.) But then,
all the writer In town and country said that the trade of
England was good—that the working people were weal off
—that they were never so well off. lie (Mr. educe) thought
that the working men, and clerks and others, were better off
than they ought to be at the expense of other claws; but
how would it ell end ? Why, wean the farmers were all
eaten up the landlords would not remain long behind. It was
only a question of time, and in the long run they would all eat
each other up, like mullygr els. (Roses of taught. r.) For whose
benefit waselithatt YorthebenefitoftheChancellorof the
Exchequer. Dot they suppose the landed interestlost thirty
or forty millions yearly without the Chancellor putting some
money into his pocket? Thou who were living on the te.rio
cultural interest were consuming more excheable articles
than they had • right to; the Ceaccellor of the Exchequer
remind the profit, and then he boasted of the prosperity of
the country. (Chun.) Let them not expect, as his friend
Mr. Spooner had said, that one interest could live at the ex-
pense of another. If they prospered they must prosier
together. lie had seen on article the other day in the Teases,
a paper not very choice in what it said of any one, and 'peek-
ing of Nottiortamehire it said—sore's a pretty fuse in Not-
tiughainshire ; all this fuss is merely a reduction of tour
shilliags a quarter. Now, he 'eked them if that was cot
the greatest lee it had ever uttered. (Great laughter) It
was not • question of a reduction of four shillings sines het
year, but a reduction of four and twenty or fire and twenty
within the lest three years. The Times knew all that very
well, but it answered their purpose to alienate it. He had
had some oorrespoudence with that paper, and not being
able to write him down, they had written them-
selves out of coon. It had been aid that hu-
t:ado would make everything prosperous, but that
had long since been discovered to be a fallacy. (Criss of
"No.") Hs repeated that it had, and in the particular letter I
to which he had referred what he said was thin—that men
lampabill look at these things in • national point of view—that
If in nosseemenee of the necessity of higher prices being
mabitained to England than in the rest 01 the world they
Auld hare higher prices for ell articles—that they dr uli
set have higher for one and lower for another—that if it was
necessory for wheat to be at 60s. sad not 40-.—then that
these articles by which the price of wheat was regulated
should he on • simile? scale. What was said in answer to
him? That he wanted to rob all parties at the expmee of
the public debtors. Now he knew that from the Prime
Minister even down to the very lowest fag in the treasury
the wish of all was that there should be a high scale o(pricee.
That was their wish for the last three years, to hie certain
knowledge. He asked the agricsdturists how could they ex-
pect to have wheat at the near of 605., while other articles
were at the ratio of 405.? Would they pay taxes at the
rata of 60a, and all the other public burdens, while wheat
was at 405., and their means were reduced to that extent.
He told theta that it was sot to be done—they
might whistle as much as they pleased, but it
would never come. ()a the otter side of the guanine,
the agriculturists said, give us protection ? He denied
their riglit to protection on the plan that they propaeed,
because it was not in the course of nature that they could
maintain it. U they got it to morrow it would not last
twelve months. (Hear, hear) If they got a protection
equal to 00e, while other articles remained at 405., dawn to
40s. it would Roc if they were to have prism in accordance
with their wants end wishes, let them find out what that
pries was which mud be maintained with a due regard to
ali the interests of the country, and then whatever their cir-
culation might be they world have all the Our interests
re4ulated accordingly. (Cheers.) If they obtained it
otherwise it would net be ju,t, and if they got it they could
not maintain it. They must consider what was due to others
as well as themselves. He was quite satisfied that the con-
sexton between agriculture and manufactures should be
maintained, that their Murata were inseparable, and the
element one sought to benefit keel( at the expense of the
other so are would it derive no permanent advantage, but
the 'necklet would recoil upon itself. The present system
meld not go es long ; of that he was quite satisfied, ard he
milyleopd that the remedy might not be too long delayed.
Hen," and laughter.)
Lord LYTTELTON proposed as the next tout " Agri-
culture and Commerce." His lordship said that he thought
it would be better if the debate which the hon. gentleman
had introduced was not lengthened. (Hear.) He thought
that this was a bombe meeting, and that all controversial
subjects were to be avoided, instead of which Mr. blunts had
to some extent thrown • cloud over the meeting ; but he
sapposed the circumstances were to be amounted for in this
way, that Mr. Monts was emancipated from all rules in
Birmingham, that in fact here he could up pretty much
what he liked. (Rears of laughter.) He hoped, however,
that any one compuatively • stranger would by no means
yeasts on the same course Mr. Month had pursued, unleu
be pesseesed the same ab lity, and let him add, the same
Inanity. (Cheers.) He thought, therefo.e, th n he
would do well to oonfine himself to god yeah, with regard
be both interes's mentioned in the tout, to a desire for their
esajoint welfare. (Cheers.) All of them would feel and up.
bold the sentiment of Sir Josiah Child, who said, "It is never
well with trade when it Is ill with land, nor ever ill with land
bat when trade shall decay. (Cheering.) He coot, seed he
beard with some surprise the statementsot the indifferent con-
ditiea of the middle and lower claws. Certainly be was not
prepared for the statements made by Mr blunts, because
be had seen and others had witnessed what they considered
so be a sure sign of prosperity in the numerous bands of ex-
earsionists that had visited Hagley and other ',Weis in his
solghbourhoed. (Cheers.) On the other hand, it seemed
eensurhat enigmatical to him to bear of the great agricultu
Wroth that prevailed. Be wasconvineed that no one who
lad witnessed the exhibition that day could have had any
idea thatthe agricultural interest was all going to decay.

at both interests would go en fit ouishine (Cheers.)
Mr. CHARLES SHAW, to whom Mr. blunts had re-
ferred as evidence in favour of his peculiar views, was next
lately called for. Mr. Show is &banker, a merchant, and
seenufseturu of 40 years standing, engaged is some 10 or 12
different mercantile concerns in the town, and this gentleman
pappind to Mr. Mutoe's remarks, as follows :—I do not spree
with what has been said by my worthy friend on the subject
al the condition of the trading concerns of this town;
*either do I agree with his arguments. (Cheers) I am
Intimately acquainted with ;the working cleaves and with
trade generally, and for forty years 1 Taff never known
them hotter off, or it in • healthier state. !Renewed
ahem.) I say that the middle sad the working clue are
well off; and it is the cheapness of agricultural reduce
that enables them to enjoy themselves in the mangier
do cribed by the noble lord. (Lyttelton.) [lt may be worth
while to state that Mr. Shaw ts • tory and a Protectionist.]
The health of Mr. Wright, the indefatigable henorary
secretary, benne been drunk with much warmth of feeling,
the health of Sir Erasing Lawley, the president-sleet, was
sett given from the chair.
Sir FRANCIS LAWLEY, having fist acknowledged the
personal compliment, referred to the remake of Mr. Minn:
is the following terms I may be excumed (said the hon.
baronet) to *ripening before eon in a state of considerable
trepidation, seeing that we have just heard from the hon.
gentleman the member for Birmingham that a farmer is
metes every night by • manufacturer. (Laughter.) Now I
promise that hon. gentleman that if he will only let me
know whoa he Is coming to deem me, I will put on
my best boots and spurs, and at least do my best
to remove some of the acid contained in that
stomach of his. (Roca of laughter) Bat 1 mast my that
I object to these diseuesioss on each oceasione. I luausted
it Wet year ; I do so this; for I know of nothing so dangerous
to introduce at such meetings. (Cheers.) la reply, how-
-1 ever, to what has been said by Mr. Mews about the
pitiable audition of the agriculturist', I can only my that I
Mall use my best exertions to make my own tenantry as
happy u I can ; and bid as times are, I can only try that

and speaking to yoti as a farmer as well as landlord, I esn
only say that, bad es times ate, I behove we shall
swine them ; and if you, the mannfecturers,
will only stunt by uo, we will endeavour to
provide you with the very best beef and other
produces use low a pries as passible. (Cheers.) For my
ewa part, I will always hold myself Meedly to the manias°
tuns, and espeaelly to these of Birmingham, where I
have always been received with se mach kindness.
hear.) It is said that fanners are very badly off, and that
farming altogether is in a ruinous state. Well, 1 can only
say that I never recollect the time when the very same
thing wee not said; any time deco I can remember—sad
my experience goes • long way beck now—he would have
been a bold man who would have ventured to say that
the farmers were doing well in the world. (Hear.) Now
I tell the agriculturists this, that if they will only
rely on their own right arms, on their industry, end their
attention to their business, they may yet do well
is the world. (Immense cheering.) I say that we, the
landlords, are litigious te soot oar tesantry in every way in
our power ; where rents are toe high, we are willing to
reduce them; where improulatmls are wanted, we are
willing to make them; end where additional buildings are
required, the same suntans/ will be emended. (Cheers.)
Therefore do I dislike such *raiment' as Mr. Manta has
employed to-night. (Ranowed diem.) Bat they an sot argu-
ments—they are mere assertions, end one man's assertion!. as
