111 LE DINNER.
The annual dinneirin connexion, with the. exhibition
was held in the aftertaton;. in a spacions matquee, which
had been specially erected for the occasion, e the show-
ground. About eight hundred gentlemen' sat down.
The Earl of Sefton, lordllientenant of the county, pre-
sided. On his lordship? entering the paviliOn, he was
most enthusiastically cheered. The Chairman was
supported on his right by the Mayor of Live .-+.l,
Colonel Wilson Patten, MiP., T. B. Horsfaii,
Gregson, Esq., MP, W. Hall, Esq.-,- Alder-
' man. Gardner, S. Gregsonr ESq., W. Ledger, Ace, J.
White Esq., &c., &c. ; aeon his left by J. llelaad
Illackburne, Esq., Colonel Hopwood, Colonel lieland
Blackburne, &c., &c., &c. The dinner, which was of
the•most sumptuous and reeltificke character, wal•sup-
pile& by Messrs. Morrish and 'Child, of the merchintsz'
dining-rooms. The repast having been partaken of,.
The CHAIRMAN called upon them to fill their gia'sses)
as. he was about to propose re toast—a toast whielr
Englishmen were always proud to,drink, and he lropedi
ther ever would be proud. It wan " The Queen."
The. toast was drank with enthusiasm.
The. C.II,nIBMAN then said the next toast was, " The
Prince Consort, the Prince of Wahis, and the rest of the
Royal; Family." The "Prince Consort" was alway:Pa-
toast,that should be drunk. 'He was always ready to
advance the interest, and promote agriculture through,.
out the•country ; he was always proud to attend meet-ings of that sort as a' competitor for a prize, and he was'
always" proud to see an animal to bent his own. The
Prince"of Wales, they were proud of him, and he was
proud of hiS country. " The Prince Cdrisort, the Prince
of Wales) and the rest of the Royal Family," which was
*drunk amid cheers.
The CHAIRMAN said he would propose:the next toast,
which was. "The ArMy and Navy." It was ten years
since this- society had held a meeting in.-Liverpool, and
in that ten years great changes •had taken place. The
battles of'Alma and of Inkerman had been fought, and
our armies- had also proved their worth beneath the
burning sun of India. He thought that' with a good.
. cause to fight they were able to maintain the honour of
Britain. They would go forth with a ready made
.glory, araPcarry their laurels, ready mad with them.
He would couple 'with the toast the name of Colonel
Patten • Wilson, who had commanded one of her
Majesty's militia regiments for this country, and who was
proud of the' command which he held, an& those that
were unders him were proud of him. (Applause.) ,
Colonel WILSON PATTEN rose, and was received with
loud applause. He said, it was only in obedience to
the orders of their noble chairman that he rose to reply
to the toast which had been so kindly proposed and
received. He always.had a feeling of dislike to speak at
public assemblies.; but as the noble lord (their-chairman)
had held a commission, and had taken part in, the duties
which he had alluded to, he had still more hesitation in
offering may remarks. However, as he had ordered him
to do it, he• did So With the greatest pleasure: He was
only commanding a regiment of her Majesty's militia; but
in that capacity-he had seen as much as was sufficient to
convince him of the greatness of her Majesty's army
and navy as .to say, when they looked at other-countries,
that they hadevery reason to be proud of their little army
and navy.;; and in the name of both he thanked them
for the manner in which the toast had been honoured.
(Applause.)' '
The CliaarimAx. then said the next toast which he
felt it his dity- to-proposer was the health of the patrons
of the society—Lord Derby and Lord Egerton—who,
he was sorry -to say; were not present. Lord Del-by was
a public. man, and. had many things 'to do, or he was
sure he wouldthavebeen present on that occasion ; but,
notwithstanding this, he• had great pleasure in proposing
the health of tie' patrons, Lord Derby and Lord
EaertonL" '
The toast wasafrank amid cheers.
The CHAIRMAN: them rose,. and Said it was Ma' duty to
proposwthe toast- of the evening. He was net-so well
acquainted 'with agriculture or agricultural improvement
as many who • were. present„ and who would.'.tell them
of all that.shoulZbe.dene in order to improve. There was
one thing he •had to tell thene—the greater part of. which
they were no doubt aware of—that the judges-had not
been able to decide as to, who the prizes should be
awarded to, beoause they were all so good that they could
not make out who had the- best right to them.- This
was &very gratifying state of things, and they should
be proud to seesit increased'. He was happy to say that
-he had the honour to be the landlord to the former who
had got the- prize. for tha• best cultivated farm•in the
'county, andho.wished to tell him, that the-aecond and
the-third weve.very close upon him. The &mminers were
like thereselaresi: they were' all open to improvement.
They- must go on and' never stop ; for if that farmer
stopped who) had the best cultivated- farm, and the
others who. weir close to, him went on, they would
overeome Min! next yenu He had one word to say to
the exhibitersof machinery. They liked; very much
to .see the various implements at work beftire they laid.
out large sums of money upon them. A-:. Lancashire
farmer of the-old schook when he came there to look at
3 pigs' • he-said. to himself,,, "Well, when r was a- little-
bey there. was none of them steam thinge-at work, and!,
I, don't know what to say about them: 7' The on/yr
;thing to, convince the- people of their utility, and he-
imight say necessity.,, was. to go on showing them
from. timo to time. so that the people might- be
'convineed that labour could be saved; If labour
'rose lib price, they would say that they could
employ the assistance of machinery. HD was not ac-
quaintiecl with many of them ; but he• dare say most
of the-people present knew him ; for the old sayin&was
true, that " more knew Tom fool than-Tom fool. knew."
(Laughter.) But he had to propose the-toast, which he
was sure they would all drink -with, three cheers--
"•Success to the Manchester and Liverpool Agricul-
tural Society."
The toast was responded to by loud' cheers.
Colonel WILSON PATTEN rose, and' said he had been
privileged to propose the next toast, which, he was sure,
would be received with mingled pain and pleasure. He
had to propose the health of their noble president.
On looking round him, he saw the faces of many, who
had attended the meetings of the society for many years
past. In proposing the toast, he could not. help calling
to memory their noble frieud, who had presided over
them when they last met in this town ; and he would
only say of him, that all who. knew him found that on
all occasions he was ready to be a friend to the county
of Lancashire. He hop,ed, that their noble chairman,
who now filled his position, would endeavour to follow
his footsteps. He had no doubt, from what he had seen
of the commencement of his career, that the successor
to the late noble lord would not allow the name whick
he bore to be tarnished. He had only to propose the
health of their noble President, and their thanks for his

Market-place,

The toast was drank amid renewed cheers.
The CHAIRMAN, on rising, was greeted with loud and
?roluged applause. He said he sincerely thanked
let,. and the trentleman who had proposed his health.
