forward the science of production in a manner
hitherto unheard of —(Cheers.) There were many
improvements which had only been recently thought
of or made, which were calculated to produce
most important 'Tsui's. He therefore trusted this
society would continue to receive from the pro-
prietors, and from the occupying tenants of the
county of Northumberland, the same energetic sup
port which it had hitherto done, and that they should
all exert themselves to maintain the ancient fame of
this county, and that all their efforts might be suc-

Sir GEORGE GREY in proposing the heaCethheoefrtshe
High Sheriff of Northumberland, said he might, per-
haps, be permitted, though not directly connected
with that toast, to make one single observation, with
the view to express the gratification he had felt in
taking part in the present anniversary of the society,
which had for its aim the improvement of agriculture,
in which they were all so deeply interested.—
(Cheers.) They had been told that the show of the
stock in the show-yard that day was not so large as
they had witnessed on former occasions, but he had
seen enough to satisfy him that the interest
taken in this society was not declining, and that
its benefits continued to be felt and appre-
ciated.—(Cheers.) Bat it was not in the show-yard
that they were to look for the advantages resulting
from this and kindred associations,; it was rather in
what they saw around them that tey were to trace
the course of improvement. He had had opportu-
nities of observing the marked and rapid improve-
ments which had taken place in the northern division
at least of Northumberland in late years. lie
spoke
only of what had come within his own observation,
and he was proud to say that he saw in what was
going on around him the best and most satisfactory
evidence that Northumberland was not behind other
parts of the kingdom in the energy and the skilful
application of capital and industry which were essen-
tial to the prosperity of agriculture. (The Right
Hon. Baronet was enthusiastically cheered both on
rising and on resuming his seat.)
The Hon. H. T. LIDDELL gave " The Duke of
Northumberland," the patron of the society, to which
Lord LovAINE, M.P., responded, and proposed at
the same time " The Health of Earl Grey," the
lord-lieutenant of the county and the president of the
society.

Mr: CLARKE gave " The Members for the County,"
which was acknowledged by Lord LOVAINE, M.P.,
and Mr. LIDDELL, M.P.

The meeting was subsequently addressed by Sir M.
W. Ridley, Mr. C. W. Orde, Mr. 0. Cresswell, Mr.
Cookson, Mr. P. Selby, and other gentlemen present,
and the proceedings terminated shortly after eight
o'clock.

le Marquis de Londonderry a bien voulu lui adresser.
Londres, le 3 Mai, 1852.
LORD LONDONDERRY TO PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON.
(Copy.)
Holdernesse House, May 3, 1852.
Mon Prince,—Your Highness cannot be surprised
if I again call to your mind the position in which a
peculiar fate, under circumstances, has now embarked
me, and I must ffrst respectfully represent that I
could not believe my letter of the Ist of February
last, officially sent through your Minister of War, and
by his reply, laid before you, should have remained
for two months entirely unnoticed. lam convinced,
however, that this has arisen from entire forgetfulness
under the immense occupations of the vast empire
over which you have been destined to rule with entire
dominion—or, otherwise, the usual courtesy between
gentleman and gentleman would never have been
omitted ; more especially when, under your own band,
you have assured me—" Que le pouvoir n'a rien
change de votre cceur."

Under the impression, nevertheless, of a seeming
oblivion, I hope, with the most perfect respect to the
President of the French Republic, and the magnani-
mous French nation, I may venture, for the last
time, to place my petition before your Highness for
the liberation of the brave warrior at Chateau d'Am-
boise. I fervently hope that in the heroic and gallant
hearts of all Frenchmen, soldiers as well as citizens,
and of all Europe, I shall stand acquitted of impro-
priety in the measure I am now pursuing.
My letter, Feb. 1, here annexed in copy No. 1, and
the answer of the Minister of War, No. 2, will certify
as to the cause of regret I have experienced at my
late communication being neglected. I come now to
your Highness's autographs of September, 1851, and
May 29, 1851. I need not now make them known
to the world ; but if your Highness refers to them,
you will not wonder that I wrote in my last epistle
to you, that I had a " lettre de change, payable I
vue ;" and what does this consist in ? or what is the
value thereof? your honourable recorded never to
be blotted out words, " Je veux, tot ou tard, mettre
l'Emir en libert6, parceque
je crois l'honneur de la
France yeest engage."
Your Highness then most sagaciously adds, that it
would be more difficult for you to accomplish the
object if urged by any foreign power, any influence
of the press, or any discussions in our Parliament.
For more than one year and a half, sire,
undoubtedly,
from your opinions known, no one has breathed the
great captive's name; but this cannot lest for ever.
But then, further, what were your Highness's next
declared impediments? The Ottomon Porte ? No! By
the vigorous and praiseworthy efforts of your enlight-
ened Ambassador, they were ready to facilitate an ar-
rangement equally honourable to France, Turkey,
Your own former Ministry and objections,
and humanity.
by your
own splendid career, are no loner in your way ; you
are absolute, supreme,
omnipotent, mountable to no
one but yourself ; and between you and your con-
science, Abd-ehKader still liners!g
Beyond all this, and more forcible than alll have
urged, as regards your brave army, I bear from au-
thority not to be doubted, that the last remaining
tribe of Kabyles have been entirely and
signally
defeated, and the war in Algeria for ever at an end,
thus affording no reasonable, or even politic, ground
for further delay.
The time and moment, then, seems, at length, to
have arrived in the eventful year of 1852, which you
proclaimed to me would be a period eesy for you to
carry the object into effect, to take the bold, glorious,
and courageous decision of liberating the fallen chief,
your noble prisoner.
Away then with all, chimeras of difficulties, delica-
cies, and consequences—your decrees are final' An-
nounce "Le President le vent " and Abd
prison doors fly open ! And you will give effect alrnike,
by this proceeding, to your wish and to your will. 11-.D‘e
unsullied honour of Prance, and the desire of !Ls
powerful ruler (the chosen of eight millions) will be
accomplished.
I have the honour to remain, with the highest con-
sideration, and most perfect respect and regard, your
Highness's constant friend and well-wisher,
..et-el s

THE YORK MEE LING, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The two princip,til races at Beading, yesterday,
terminated in the defeat of the favourites. Vaultress,
with 7 to 4 betted on her, finished a wretched fourth to
Defiance for the Abbey Stake; Hambletonian and Pug
Orrock actually giving her the go• by. It is evident that
her numerous preparations this year are beginning to
tell; and without she is boxed up at once will train off
altogether.

Larnartine,an immense'pot atis to 4 against the;fieldfor
the Berkshire Stakes, and booked a certainty, finished
a very indifferent third to Old Dulcet and Waterfall, the
former winning very cleverly. It must be understood,
however, that Ethelwolf passed the chair first, but as he
went on the wrong side of a post, be was, according to
the laws of racing, distarced.
The racing fixtures for next week are four in number:
Lichfield on Monday and Tuesday; Plymouth, Devon-
port. and Cornwall on Tuesday and Wednesday; Pinner
en Wednesday; and York, the meeting of the week, on
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
The attractions at York being of:so superior a nature,
it is very probable that the other meetings will be dis-
carded by the sporting public generally, in favour of
ancient Ebor. It is my present intention to touch upon
Wednesday's races only. Tiny commence, as usual,
with the Dundas Stakes, which old RADULPHIIS may
possibly win.
The Ebor St. Leger Stakes of 26 says. each, with 100
added for the benefit of the owner of the second horse,
two miles over the old course, will, so far as I can ascer-
tain at present, be contested by Longbow, Caracara,
Frantic, Sackbut, and Leopold; to whom may be added
Lathe, the Golden Age, and Alfred the Great. Daniel
O'Rourke s name also figures among the entries, but I
'
have good reason to believe that he will not be pulled
out on this eccasion. Frantic, with the Ebor Handicap
on the following day in view, I should almost fancy—if
they consider his chance good for that stake—would be
dravvnfor this event; if he runs he must finish first or
second.Sgekbut I have no fancy for; neither have I
for thers, as Golden
th
olden Age, Alfred the Great, or Lucio. Cara-
IA will allow a jockey of some expe-
riencebee w
up, will finish forward—probably third.

The Convivial Stakes of 10 sovs, each, h ft, with
50 added, over the T.Y.C., a straight run in of five
furlongs and forty-four yards, has the tremendous entry
of one hundred and seventeen two years old horses.
The most formidable-looking names entered for this
stake seem
to me to be Mr. Bowes's Auld Acquaint-
twee and West Australian, and Mr. Gratwicke's Bit-
tingbourne ;
WEST AUSTRALIAN
being the most hopeful-looking of the lot; his running,
however is not altogether certain.
