SIR EDTVAIii) itULTVER LYTTON AT-

BUNTINGFORD.

BUNTINGFORD, Friday Evening.—Yesterday the an-
nual meeting of the Ilerts Agricultural Society, estab-
lished for the purpose of encouraging an improved system
f husbandry, the exhibition of stock, and to reward the
honest industry of the labourer, was held in this town,
and the occasion was chiefly interesting from the speech
it elicited from Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, one of the
members for the county.
In the evening the members of the society and others,
to the number of about 300, dined together in a spacious
marquee, erected for tho occasion in the centre of the
town, under the presidency of the Rev. Leveson Vernon
Harcourt. The two members for the county—Sir E.
B. Lytton and Mr. Abel Smith—were present, as were
also several of the county gentlemen.
The usual loyal and constitutional toasts ha sing been
drunk,
The CFLIIIIMLN gave "Prosperity to the Hefts Agri-
cultural Society," and in doing so observed that he had
always taken a deep interest in agricultural meeting 9,
especially those which offered prizes to agricultural
labourers.

Mr. C. H. Ennis then proposed " The health of the
Members for the County."
Sir EDWARD BIILWER LITTON rose to respond to the
toast, and was loudly and enthusiastically cheered for
some minutes. He said—Gentlemen, I thank you sincerely
for the honour you have bestowed on my colleagues and
myself. I am requested by Sir Henry Meux to express his
great regret that he is not present on this occasion. But
he has not been unmindful of his old friends, and we are
indebted to him for some of the, excellent cheer which
bas been provided for our entertainment to-day. In-
deed, gentlemen, I may say on behalf of my colleagues
that the time of year appointed for our annual meeting
is not calculated to insure a large attendance of mem-
bers of Parliament, who, naturally enough, fatigued by
a long session, are accustomed to disperse themselves as
soon as it is over—some on the continent and some on
the Scottish moors—in search of health and relaxation.
And no man who is not actually in the House of Com-
mons can know how much we desire, and how necessary
to us are, some complete ohanges of air and scene after six
months of heated atmosphere, of angry passions, and, I
would add, of speeches which seem much shorter in the
newspaper reports than they are to the orators who de-
-1 liver them. Gentlemen, before I touch upon any topics
immediately connected with the trust which I hold as
your representative, allow me to say a word or two in
my capacity as a member of this society, and also as a
member of a public and still more numerous and still
more ancient body of labourers, whose ploughshare fur-
rows the ocean, and whose industry enriches the globe.
I mean th:4 very active association commonly called the
tieepte ge.esee-ea. ireeer,-. —ale I.asargant to, this,
longer, society-in which we are interested, ivangrattliate
you upon the success that has attended the wise experi-
ment that shifts the place of our annual meetings, and
that brings home to these rural districts the advantages
to be derived from competition, and those suggestive
ideas that arise from the sight of modern inventions, and
the intercourse of various minds. I am told, indeed,
that in the show to-day there is a deficiency of stock ;
but there is no deficiency, I am happy to think, of that
which is nobler and better—there is no deficiency of men
—(cheers)—and I think this is the largest assemblage of
gentlemen whom I have ever yet seen at any agricultural
dinner in this country. And, talking of the value of
suggestive ideas, one idea was suggested to me to-day
before I entered this meeting to account in some degree
for any deficiency in stock, while at the same time a
remedy was in some degree suggested by the remarks
we have heard from our admirable chairman with re-
spect to the nature of the prizes, for, perhaps, the defi-
ciency of stock may in some degree arise frcui the cir-
cumstance that the tenant farmer is called on to com-
pete with the greater capital of the gentleman farmer—
(cheers)—and this, to a certain extent, may be disheart-
ening to him in the rearing of stock for exhibition at
meetings of this kind. I would, therefore, respectfully
suggest to the gentlemen who give and the gentlemen
who arrange the distribution of prizes, whether on some
future occasion it might not be possible to give the prizes
with regard to stock as I have always given my own
prizes, namely, confining them always to the exclusive
competition of tenant-farmers, while there should be
other prizes for which the gentleman-farmer and the
tenant-farmer should be equally competitors. And the
prizes of the tenant-farmer should be of the value of those
given to the gentleman-farmer—(hear)—for it is some-
thing of which a gentleman-farmer may be very proud to
compete in skill with the tenant-farmer ; while, on the
other hand, It is somewhat hard for the tenant-farmer to
be called on to compete with the capital of his landlord.
(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, thus much will suffice in my
capacity of a member of this society ; and now one
word as your fellow-citizen of the great community of
England. In an earlier stage of your proceedings you
drank to the health of those gallent men who are
fighting in a cause which has pledged the honour of
England to the preservation of those boundaries which
separate civilised liberty from barbarous force. We, in
this country, have had our share in the national glory,
and we have had, perhaps, more than our share in that
private grief which commands especial sympathy and
respect. By war, or the disease which war has entailed,
many of our neighbouring hearths are now darkened by
mourning ; but that mourning is a robe of honour, a
title of nobility, which no demoorat will dispute ; and
is conferred on the humblest Englishman who can point
to a hero's grave and say, "There lies the brother or
the son whom he lost in his country's cause." (Cheers.)
And henceforth, it seems to me, as if a higher rank
among the inhabitants of this country will be duo
to those families who have enrolled amongst the
glorious victims of Sebastopol the names of Sutton,
Powell, Clutterbuck, Blake, Ryder, and Delmer-Rat-
cliffe ; and when I utter this last name I am remanded
that, if our friend Mr. Delmer-Ratcliffe has a sorrowful
pride in the son who fell at the head of his men,,
in the field of the Alma, so he has now a glorious
pride in the living son distinguished by his wounds and
his valour in the assault on the Redan. (Cheers.) I
wish to read you an extract from a letter which may,
perhaps, furnish you with an answer if ever you bear a
sneer against what are called "raw recruits." This is a
letter from a distinguished officer in the Coldstreame,
who was an eye-witness of the assault on the Redan,
and who wrote the letter to a family in this county.
He says—" The conduct of our young officers in the as-
saulting regiments, and the way in which they led their
men, was splendid. The bravery of young Ratcliffe, of
the 23d, was beyond all praise. Three times did this
boy attempt to climb the scaling-ladder, twice was he
beaten down, and the- third time he gained the top,
when he was wounded with the thrust of a bayonet, and
hurled to the bottom of the ditcli: But, strange to say,
he is now doing well." Why, that boy was only 17.
(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I wish that you would cheer,
for that cheer will not only gladden a father's heart, but
will ring through this county of Hertford—(cheers)--
and it will show of what mettle Hertfordshire men
are made. (Renewed cheers.) And, gentlemen, while
we do honour to those young living .soldiers, do not let
us forget that Hertfordshire can also boast of one of ma.
turer years, who is still spared to the service of his coma.

TOO I..tiontial object of this treatise is V+ point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-

their physical condition, and who are conscious of having bazardot,

may, be well proud of that matchless
taining discipline amidst hardships so incredible, and
earning renown against such formidable odds, has trans-
ferred its encampment to the very fortress of the enemy,
and now holds in Sebastopol a material guarantee for the
rights of nations and the demands of justice. (Cheers.)
It is not here, and I hope it would not be anywhere, that
I would dwell on what hds been urged, I think, some-
what hastily, in some of the newspapers, in mitigation of
our joy at the victory for which we have rendeted up our
thankegivingi to the Divine Arbiter of human destinies.
It is true that we did not storm the Malakhoff, and
therefore had not as direct and immediate a share in the
taking of Sebastopol as the French—but what then ?
Look at that emblem before you; it is inscribed with
the initials of Victoria and Napoleon, surrounded by
the same wreath. (Hear.) What does that mean ? Why,
it means that England and France are a single army—
(loud cheers)—and that the glory of the one is the glory
of the other. Do you believe there is any Frenchman
who would deny us our full share of the laurel tree which
took its root on the hills of Alma because the last gale
in the storm of battle drifted its leaves towards the ranks
of the French ? (Hear.) Why, in the next turn of the
wind those leaves might be drifted towards us. But,
gentlemen, I will never for the paltry purposes of damag-
ing a Government to whom I may have been opposed—
no, I never will consent to disparage English soldiers,—
(hear)--and though I will not —upon imperfect and hasty
evidence -- censure an absent general, for whom,
as for all military appointments, the Government alone
can be held responsible, still there is one useful and most
wholesome lesson that ought to be impressed upon our
minds, for we Englishmen can bear to be told of our
faults ; and I have always observed through life that
the man who is most painfully sensitive to the fear of
failure is always the man most sure of ultimate success.
(Applause.) Mr. Fox once said in the House of Com-
mons that when England went to war she could not de-
pend upon the amount of her physical force, but that she
must depend upon the superiority of her civilised intellie.7
genre--that ft was not to be. expected _that she _could
bring the largest armiesinto-the field, but that it was'
to be expected that the army which she did bring should
have the best weapons, the best ammunition, the best
commissariat, the wisest strategy, the most skilful corn-
menders, and the amplest avail of all modern facilities and
inventions ; in short, all that the highest degree of civili-
sation could give to intelligence. (Hear.) Well, gertle-
men, I am afraid we must all acknowledge without dis-
tinction of parties, that in those points in which we had a
right to look for success we have notoriously failed. We
have relied chiefly, and not in vain, upon what our an-
cestors relied upon—the chivalry of their gentlemen and
the pluck of their soldiers—(applause)—but we must all
acknowledge that we have a great deal to learn before we
can fairly say we have brought the entire force of Eng-
lish intelligence and civilisation in 1855 to bear against
the enemy that we have assumed the right to despise as
-barbarians. And, therefore, whatever Government is in
power—no matter what party is uppermost—l say it is
our imperative duty, as Englishmen and as men of sense,
to force into all our departments, military and civil, that
intelligence which it is our boast to possess, and without
which we may indeed beat our enemy, but at the price
of the most fearful less, and at the risk of impairing our
position as a wise rind enlightened people in the eyes of
our allies and the judgment of lees friendly nations.
(Hear.) Well, gentlemen, it was with that view—if you
will allow me to refer for a single moment to the mo-
tion, which, by your kindness in electing rue as your
representative, I introduced in the House of Commons,
and I may do so without irritating political differences,
for it was carried without one dissentient voice—l say,
it was with that view I framed the resolution to which,
in my opinion, Parliament and Ministers are bound that
at the very earliest period they would so revise all our
public establishments as to bring into all the largest
available amount of that energy and intelligence which
distinguishes the people of this country. And now, gen-
lemen, since you have called me up to address you as a
member of Parliament, may I claim the right to say one
word on behalf of that assembly. I am sure that you
will grant me that indulgence, as my observations shall
have no reference to politics. You will all remember
that the last House of Common's was elected under very
different circumstances from those in which we now find
ourselves. The majority were united upon a commer-
cial principlo, under leaders, some of whom, like Lord J.
Russell and Sir J. Graham, had long official experience,
and very great and justly deserved Parliamentary re-
nown. Other leaders, like Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright,
were conspicuous for their eloquence—the surpassing elo-
quence—with which they supported popular opinions ;
while Mr. Gladstone, a host in himself, combined all the
attributes of the most captivating and consummate ore-
tor. Well, is it not to the credit of that majority—is it
not to the credit of that house—and does it not show
the independence of that assembly, that all the talent,
popularity, position, and virtues of those leaders could
not rally around them the men they were accustomed to
command, the moment their followers thought they had
separated their opinions from the honour of England and
the cause of eternal justice. (Enthusiastic cheers.) This
much I will say on behalf of the majority from whom I
have often differed. But let me say this on behalf of
the minority, with whom I have for the most part acted,
and with whose sentiments lam most familiar. I say
you cannot misjudge that minority more than by sup-
posing that they, or those who may be regarded as their
A,..AArra. ,are unduly
that
for the transfer of political
polka. I- declare that duriiirthEivlasiTYftrie Iltactlng,
-viciasttudes of last anion I sari witlAntOdea adoration
their absorbing•armlety to make iheldet7 of the nentt•
try, the maintenance of the army, and die honour of the
Crown paramount to all other considerations, (Cheers.)
As for myself, as a member of Parliament, I say to you,
in my proud position as one of the members for the
county of Hertford, that I never will, either from
party motives, or, God forbid, from perscA,at ambitior,
be an instrument to displace any Government which
shall seem to me firmly and skilfully to maintain the
national honour, and finally to conclude our quarrel.
(Hear.) Neither will I, on the other hand, stoop to
support any Government from whose feeble or faithless
hands the sword would drop paralysed, or the olive
branch be dishonoured. (Applause.) But, gentlemen,
never let us forget that we fight not for dominion nor
revenge. We fight for another and different object—we
fight for the tranquillity of Europe, and for its defence.
(Hear.) Never, in the flush of triumph, or fear of dis-
aster, or heat of contest, let our passions blind us to
those definite objects, and never let us be content with
less. Duly mindful of the horrors of carnage, and the ini-
quity of vengeance, do not let us, by demanding more
than we are entitled to claim, become the scourge of
humanity, instead of being, what we now are, its shield
and defence. (Hear, hear.) As for myself, I acknoe -
ledge that in many respects I am moil-, inadequate to re-
present you. I know that lam very often hd from a
right judgment either by my own prejudices, or by the
throb and pressure of political strife, by which intn of
the coolest heads and firmest footing are sometimes
j..stled into a wrong direction ; but in one respect I feel
fully persuaded that I will represent you truly—that I
will represent you all, no matter what your party or
politics ; no matter whether you record your votes
against me in the polling booth at the next election or
not. In one respect I know I shall represent you all.
In all my judgment, whether they be right or wrong,
I know that I shall carry the heart of an Englishman,

hating oppression, scorning treachery, mourning as a
private grief over every national disaster or discredit,
but exulting as a private joy over every national glory
and success. The hon. baronet concluded amid enthu-
siastic cheers.

A public meeting was held at 7 dale on Wedness
day ( vening, iii the public halt at town, for the
purpose of presentiag to Mr. S. an Crawford, the
late representative of the horc4,,' a testimonial of
esteem for his Parliamentary set... ;s. Mr. Bright,
M.P., and Mr. Aldan, M,P., the present member for
Rochdale, besides nearly 100 of the most respectable
merchants, millowners, and other leading inhabitants
of the borough, were on the platform. Mr. George
Ashworth, cf Roach House, presided.
The testimonial consisted of au elegant silver cande-

destal was the following in,.cription :—•` Presented by
the inhabitants of the rough of Rochdale to William
Sharman Crawford, Esq., of Crawford's Burn, as a
testimonial of their esteem for his public services while
representing them in Parliament for a period of eleven
years.—Rochdale, Oct. 3, 1855."
Mr. Sharman Crawford acknowledged the honour
conferred upon him in appropriate terms.
At this meeting Mr, 13right, M.P., took the oppor-
tunity of abusing the press respecting the war with
Russia. The hon. member said :—" The newspaper
press was mainly responsible for our war policy. The
men who got their guinea or two guineas for writing a
column of what they were told to write were the mets
who had to bear the heavy burden of this war policy.
Whether its national results were good or bad, they
would observe the newspaper editor was omnipotent.
He was not now a man writing up a "three-pair-back ;"
he wielded a sway over the spirit of the country, and,
while the newspaper sold in double and treble numbers,
the Minister was driven to acts that might hereafter form
a disastrous page in the history of the country. He
had not an atom of regard for newspaper oipinions, un-
less he could see in the facts and the arguments some-
thing to command his henest support. He could say for
himself with truth, that, often as he had spoken in pub-
lic, he had never stated that to be a fact which he did
not belies— to be one, or advanced as argument that
which 6- , :-„enestly bear on the question ; but when
he disc • :`ll other men he liked a return of the
same honesty. If what he had sail were reported, he
should, doubtless, be abused by the press. He had
heard Lord John Russell say that in 1303, when a peace
was concluded, the reason why it could not be main-
tained was, not that Napoleon wanted to attack us, but
that the newspapers stimulated the warlike feelings of,
country till the conflict was obliged to be reneeted,-
-and one vir 'the most Intigninary ware In -our annals ties
the result. He doubted if these Russian soldiers wore
not as precious in the sight of the Omnipotent God as
were the soldiers of France and England ; and, there-
fore, when he looked at this question, he confined him-
self not to the streams of English blood which had
flowed, but lie looked to the sufferings and misery also
which had been inflicLej by an, slaughter of 500,000
men, who had been sacrificed within the last two years
in this appalling struggle. He had none of that blood
upon his hands. It was not upon his conscience. He
declared to that 'meeting solemnly that there was no-
thing that could be described that he would not willingly
at that moment undergo rather than be held responsible
to history and to his Maker for the atrocities which had
been perpetrated during this war."

THE' DRAIN OF GOLD ON THE BANK
OF ENGLAND.

It is understood that, notwithstanding the plans
adopted by the Bank of Franco for obtaining gold, their
supply, which was equal last month to 11,500,0001., has
now fallen below 10,000,0001. This result might have
been apprehended. They have attracted bills on London
from other cities, and have thus rendered all their ex-
changes less favourable, while, at the same time, a de-
gree of distrust has probably been excited, by which the
tendency to hoarding has becu stimulated.
The mode in which the greater part of the gold sent
from this side bas been obtained by the Bank of France
is asserted not to have been by the accommodation p per
between the houses employed in the transaction, but
simply by their clearing the market of all the bills and
bank-notes on London that could be procured. The
whole process therefore appears to have been as follows :
The Bank of France proposed to the hcuse of M. St.
Paul, of Paris, to pay a high price fur a certain amount
of gold ; this price was such as to enable M. St. Paul
to give high terms for draughts on London, which
were accordingly bought up in all quarters and trans-
mitted to agents on this side, with instructions for the .
proceeds to be remitted to Paris in gold. On the gold
being taken to the Bank of France the payment for it
to M. St. Paul, of course, took place in the notes of
that institution, and in this way the affair of the
first 3,000,000/ was accomplished. But it is not to
be supposed that the amount of bills naturally
obtainable in Paris would have furnished the full
supply. The artificial prices offered attracted bills front
other quarters of the continent, and thus the remittances
have probably been composed of all the floating claims
on London that could be transmitted to the Paris market
from the trading ports of Prus-ia and of other neigh.
bouring countries. Whether the negotiation of the re-
maining 1,000,0001. was managed in the same way is un-
certain ; but, assuming even that the whole 4,000,0001.
has been so obtained, it may be regarded as the with-
drawal of an amount whioh must, sooner or later, come
back. If, for instance, the average total of claims on
London afloat on the continent of Europe at all periods
when the rates of exchange are not against us is
10,000,0001., and that average be suddenly reduced by
4,000,000/., our position in relation to the continent is
precisely to that extent better than in ordinary times ;
and, while the average is being allowed to regain its
former aggregate, we shall derive the benefit of retaining
4,000,0001., that would otherwise, in the course of •

Mr. ABEL SMITH, as one of the members of the county,
also responded to the toast in a brief speech.
Mr. C. W. PULLER afterwards gave "The Labourers"
in an eloquent speech ; and several complimentary toasts
followed in the course of the evening.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT MESSRS. MYERS'S TIMBER-
YARD, LAMBETH.—Yesterday Mr. W. Carter held an in-
quest at the Old Guildford Barge, Belvedere-road, Lam-
beth, on the body of William Burr, aged 34, a workman
in the employ of Messrs. Myers, the builders, of Ordnance-
wharf,iLambeth. The evidence proved that the deceased,
on Wednesday iast, was employed emptying a barge of
lime lying at the wharf, and whilst passing a stack of
solid oak logs weighing between three and four tons, the
whole fell over, and he became buried beneath the
weight. He was, extricated as soon as possible, when it
was found that his leg and thigh were fractured, and his
jaw and back broken. Medical assistance was procured,
but life was quite extinct. The occurrence being one
over which no one had any control,
the jury returned a
verdict of Accidental death.
