THE LATE EARL OF WESTMORELANEL—Au honour
seldom paid to a foreigner having no connection with
Prussia has just been bestowed at Berlin in memory of
the late Earl of Westmoreland, so many years the
British Ambassador in that capital. All the principal
military bands were assembled in presence of thd Prince
Regent and the, most distinguished persons in Berlin,
and performed Beethoven's Funeral March, a favourite
work of the late ,o•eneral and diplomatist, whose com-
positions were well known and appreciated in the Prus-
sian capital.

line when they fall back on pleasant Lord Pam—that
marvellously entertaining old gentleman, who can
make fast young M.P.'s from the Temple, and heavy
country squires shake their sides in admiration, just as
easily as the sentimental Don used to bring sunshine
into the boudoirs of the Cyclades and Portman-square.
Now, at, any rate, the Imperial senate will not like a
joke while, preparing against explosions of a more
disagreeable character ; but what Lord Palmerston has
ever effected successfully besides cracking jokes it
would indeed be difficult to tell. To him, more than
to any other individual, is England indebted for the
circumstance that she has been overreached in the
political arena by her treacherous and crafty neighbour

Tng NEGRO INSURRECTION AT HA_RPER'S FERRY.
—A New York journal says : A large bundle of
letters, addressed to Charles P. Tido, one of the dead
filibusters, was found in a trunk at the house of Captain
Cook's mother-in-law. Among them were several from
his mother, who, it appears, lives with a second hus-
band at or near Springdale, lowa, breathing the most
tender and affectionate spirit, and praying Heaven. to
bless and protect her ." dear child, Charles," through all
the dangers which he was about to pass, and beg-
ging of him, if he escaped unharmed,. to return
at once to his home. All the letters are written
in the Quaker style of " theeing and thouing,"
and are pervaded with a deeply religious tone. All
appove and encourage the enterprise in which he is
engaged as a holy cause, and exhort him to lead a life
of piety. Many of the letters are in a feminine hand.
One signed. " Em10n,4," very prettily written, and dated
" Bth month, 11th, 1859," contains this. sentence
" Press' nobly on, for by your instrumentality millions
ma have the pleasure of s-iging the song of liberty."
" Jana" writes, under dote of "7th month, 22nd,
1859," as follows :—" My dear Friend,—As the time
seems drawing very near that we must part, per-
haps never again to meet, on these mundane shores,
and finding that I, have many things to say to
thee, I have concluded to let my pen follow, for a
few moments, my thoughts. * * * I believe that
thy motivrs are purely philanthropic and sympathetic,
and I think that I do appreciate the feeling that prompts
thee to take, as it were, thy life in thy hands, and go
boldly forth in such a hazardous undertaking in that
cause that lies near my heart, and in which I can see
nothing that I can do to hasten the day of deliver-
mice. * I have been thinking, this afternoon,
of the great responsibility that is going to rest upon
thee in the command of others. May thou do it with
wisdom and discretion, in calmness, doing nothing
rashly. Set thy mark high, and aim at perfection.
Be noble, be dignified, and always see that the rights of
women are respected and protected."

MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Yesterday, a general meeting of the local committee
an .1 subscribers to the local fund raised for the pur-
poses of the show at Liierpool this year was held at
the Town-hall, for the purpose of winding up the
accounts and making a general settlement. The
mayor, Wm. Preston, Esq., presided.
Mr. T. B. RYDER, the honorary secretary, read the
report of the local committee which, after an introduc-
tory paragraph, proceeded as follows :

In fulfilment of the duties so entrusted to them the com-
mittee have assembled in this hall eight times, irrespective of
the two sub-committee meetings and of the first and present
general meetings. Their duties have consisted chiefly in the
solicitation and collection of donations to • the required fund,
then in determining the number, amount, and character of the
premiums to be offered for competition. These were de-
nominated local or special prizes, in contradistinction to the
ordinary ones of the society, in addition to which they were
given. In the next place it was requsite to obtain a stun
sufficiently large to cover the amount of prizes to be awarded,
besides the contribution of ZOO to the funds of the society,
and othir considerable expenses, the- probable amount of
which, owing to the shortness of time had to be speculated
upon to a certain extent. From first to last, however, the
committee have not in reality felt any pecuniary responsibility,
owing to the very liberal and handsome manner in which their
efforts have been responded to, and the general results of which
they will now 'give. The total sum subscribed to the local fund
has now amounted to £865 18s. This comprises 410 subscrip-
tions varying in amount from £1 15.,, the minimum. (except in
four accidental cases), to £5O each from the Earls of Derby and
Sefton; whilst the names of all contributors, saving thosenow
announced, have from time to time been published in the local
papers. Of this amount £686 was offered hi special prizes,
whilst of it £626 was awarded at the show on the Bth and 9th of
September, and has since • been paid, except those priZes
respecting the award of which' there were objections which
had to be reserved for consideration by this meeting, and will
be paid as soon as possible hereafter. £lOO has been paid to the
society, as promised, towards its expenses. £65, 7's. has been
expended in advertising, printing, ' Stc., and indirectly aiding
the society by plaearding the show, &c. ; and there remains in
hand a balance of £6O 17s. 3d., or what will probably be
about that amount after the banking account has been made!
up. • The secretary and treasurer's accounts , have been
duly. audited by Mr. Ledger and Mr. Brown., who were
appointed for the purpose at the last committee • meeting,
and whose services are now gratefully acknowledged. Finan-
cially, therefore, a great success has been achieved ; and there
can be no doubt that, had it been deemed • requisite, £l,OOO at
least could have been raised for the purpose. As was to be
expected from such encouragement and stipport, the exhibition
proved to be one of considerable magnitude and importance.
Probably• not fewer than 20,000 persons witnessed it; and
altogether a very general and wide-spread interest in the
meeting was manifested. A very few figures taken from the
society's records of its last meetings in Liverpool, in 1849 and
1852, will suffice to show the immense superiority and advance
of this year's exhibition.

there were about 300. And here it may be stated that there
were 1,590 entries for the show, the largest number we beli?ve
the society has hitherto known. Full particulars of them were
given in the catalogues. Of-these entries 1,153 were for the
society's premiums (implements. included), and 444 for the
special prizes. The latter eornprised the most valuable and in-
teresting portion of the show, as regards the live stock ; and
mainly through these being thrown open to general competi-
tion, the show may be said to have been to a great extent a
national one. The folloviing is an analysis of the entries far

Sufficient has now been said to.prove that the exhibition, as
such, was a very successful one ' • and the committee are glad
to think that, upon the whole, it will have proved to be agra-
tifying one to the .subscribers and members of the society,
whilst it cannot fail to have greatly stimulated and advanced
the great cause of agriculture,, and especially that of the
Society's district.
At the last meeting of the corcunittee, it was unaniMously
decided that, 'in consideration of the great assistance rendered
on this occasion by the Mayor, a medal be prepared and offered
for his Worship's acceptance to-day, and the committee feel
assured that it will afford the subscribers generally inUchgra-
tification in having the opportunity of joining in this small
but' sincere token of respect. The medal is of silver, richly
gilt, and is inscribed as follows : •

"Presented to William. Preston, Esq., Mayor of Liverpool,
by the Local Committee of the Manchester and Liverpool Agri-
cultural Society, as a souvenir of its meeting at• Liverpool
during his mayoralty, but more particularly as a token .of their
high appreciation of his courteous, attentive, and' ififinential
aid on the occasion, whereby the orerations of the society
were widely, extended, and its objects greatly promoted.
"Sep. 30, 18594 T. B. RYDER, Hon. Sec: and'Treasr."
To the Mayor, also, and to the members ot.the corporation
of Liverpool, the committee feel that the warm thanks of the
general meeting is due for the very' efficient and admirable
police arrangements, which, under the guidance of Major'
Greig and Inspectors Quick and Ride; were gratuitously
'afforded on the occasion. .

The meeting will-further be glad to join the Society in ex-
pressing its cordial thanks to George Holt, Esq., the owner,
and the London and North-western Railway Company, the
occupiers, for the nse of the show ground, the use of which
was gratuitously, given by them,; and to the railway companies
in general for 'the facilities afforded for the transit of stock
and implements, &c. •

On the motion of
.Mr. LEDGER, seconded. by Mr.
ROBERTSON GLADSTONE, the report was received and
adopted.
Mr. Rmun then proceeded to present to the
mayor the medal alluded to in the report. He
said he made the presentation with very great
pleasure. The local _committee, as well as the society
in general, felt very greatly indebted to the mayor for
the services that he had rendered to the society

on this 'occasion, This, was one of. the closing
scenes of Mr. PrestOn's Mayoralty, and he (the Secre-
tary) hoped it would' prove to be not one of the least
gratifying incidenta in his worship's year 'of office.
,Again, he begged to say that he presented the testi-
monial with a feeling of great respect, and was glad
that the occasion had arisen which gave him the oppor-
tunity of giving expyession to that feeling. (Applause!),
The MAYOR, having received the medal, said he was
sure that no services of his could in any way have called
on the Council to reward him with such a valuable little
souvenir, His services, such as they were, had been
given with 'the greatest possible satisfaction, seeing that
the gentlemen who formed the rn Council had taken so
much interest, in giving 'so much time and paying so
much attention to the discharge of their ' respective
duties. He thanked the secretary for having presented
him with so handsome, a testimonial. (Applause.)
....• .... .

Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE having spoken in' terms
of commendation of the character of the testimonial that
had been presented to the mayor, said—As to the appro-
priation of funds, he had generally found that-the best
mode of arriving at a correct estimate' as to What was
due and right towards-others, was to put ones-self into'
the same position ; and, knowing that the duties con-
nected with ' the- secretaryship had been , extremely
onerous, and had occupied a great deal of time, not only
of Mr. Ryder himself, but of others employed in
his service, and believing that he had been most
efficient in the discharge of his duties—that he
thoroughly understood the business of a secretary to
an agricultural association—he felt that it was their
duty to encourage Mr. Ryder, and to look forward to
his services, being employed on future occasions. And
beyond all this, he thought it was still further due that
there should be some testimonial of Mr. Ryder's duties
having been performed in a satisfactory manner ; and
therefore he begged leave to move that- of the balance
of £BO in hand L5O should be..awarded to M. Ryder,
and the remaining £lO kept in hind to meet any out-
standing claims against the committee, and that if there
should he no such claims, then thatbthe balance be
handed over to the parent society. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. BROWN seconded the motion, and spoke from
personal experience of the admirable services rendered-
by Mr. "Ryder. He would take that opportunitY: of
expressing a desire that he entertained tltht there should
be a proper organisation embracing the whole county,
With a proper staff of Officers, and. 'funds 'sufficient to
ineet,the demands caused by extra efforts to give cha-
racter to a show. Lancashire had sufficient wealth in it
to buy up all the small societies ; and he 'thought if ithis
sod* exerted itself, they might get a sufficient amount
of money to induce the exhibition of special specimens
from all parts of the country. lie pointed out that-two
or three societies in different parts of the country had
absorbed smaller societies, and achieved a great measure
of success.

The MA.Yon. said he cordially agreed with everything
that Mr. Gladstone had stated with respect to Mr.
Ryder's services. He was sure that the time and atten-
tion devoted by that gentleman to the duties of his

office would be very inadequately rewarded, even by .a
gift of £5O. (Hear, hear.)
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. RYDER gracefully acknowledged the vote, and
made particular allusion to the services iendered to the
society by the collectors, stewards, committee, and other
gentlemen.

The committee then proceeded to the transaction of
some routine business, and so brought their labours to

a close
