YORKSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S ANNUAL
Meatixu AT TUlll.lllL—Thir.k. August 7.—The thirteenth
annual meeting of this society is now holding at this place,
and promises to be the most successful of any held since the
formation of the society. Many parties who has beea dis-
posed to take a gloomy view of agricultural pursuits pre.
dieted that these 1 exhibitions would fall
off. Mr. Harman, • wealthy farmer, of North
Dsigkton, at the annual meeting of the Harewood ep
ciety, held on Friday last, told Lord Herewood that with a
continuance of the present system, his lordship could not
keep his peerage, or kis tenants their position, but
his lordship, in reply, told the croaker to be of
Rood cheer, for better times were in prospect; whilst
his lordship's brother, the Hoe. Arthur Lasalle*,
reminded Mr. Herman that corn had, during the
put year, sold at Wightr prices in unprotected England,
than had been obtained in the proteced countries of the
continent; and Mr. Harman's own son himself, one of
the judges of the stock, spoke of the Harewood
show of last week as superior, especially in the
quelitT of the stock shown to that of any former year. The
same is from all appearances likely to be the case as re-
gards the exibition in connexion with the larger vasty of
Yorkshire. The assemblage of agricultural implement, in
the show-yard is very large, the number shown being twice
as ninny es were shown at Leeds last year, whilst the en-
tries of stock is 690, being nearly 200 more than bare
been exhibited in any previous year since the formation
of the society. The Duke of Leeds, the president of the
society, is expected here to-day or to-morrow. The amount
to be ,warded in prix a for implements is 1701. The prizes
will be awarded this afternoon. As we have said, the show
of implements is very large. The Council of the Society
set at one o'clock this afternoon, for the purpose of receiving
invitations from plans desirous of entertaining the society in
1861, and for the election of officers for the year ensuing
It was determined that the invitation from Bridlington
should be accepted, and the following noblemen and gentle

NORTHUMBERLAND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—On
Teesday, at Alnwick, the manual show of stock of the North-
umberland Apiesdtural 8 -ciety took place. The exhibition
was held leader the most favourable auspice', his Grace the
Deko of Northumberland having taken a very active part in
it. The exhibition of stock and implements of husbandry
took place in a couple of fields conveniently situated for the
purpose, being seareely b. yend the precincts of the town;'
and, I. general excellence nos never been excelled et any
former meeting of the society, while in particular departments
there were specimens of stock which would beer a favourable
comparison with any shown in the three kingdoms. With-
out descending to particulars, it may be stated that every
department of the exhibitiou showed the great advance which
agriculture has made in the district within the list few
seri. For the construction of drain tiles of every ooaceiv.
able or practical form there ware machines provided, and
from the great .nee uragement given to draining in the
eountry, and the extent of land undergoing that process,
these implements attracted great attention. Cottage im-
prove:sone, received a stimulus in the number of articles ex-
pressly designed and manufactured for the comfort and
convenience of the rural population in their peasant homes ;
while the substantial termer and pre prietor found his wants
anticipated and his wishes teethed by the enterprise of the
skilful sechanieden. The .bow-lard wee well attended, and
great interest taken la the vans/ objects exhibited. In
Order to gratify public curiosity, so much excited by the
