OXFORDSHIRE AGRICUL7 URAL
ASSOCIA7ION.

The annual exhibition of stock in connexion with
the Oxfordshire Agricultural Association was held
at Banbury on Wednesday, When prizes weio
awarded for cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, and imple-
ments, The principal prizes were given by the
Earl of Macclesfield, the Duke of Marlborough, Vis-
count Dillon, J. H. Langston, Esq., M.P., and Col.
North, M.P.

The show of stock was not lirge, but was ex-
ceedingly good ; and although the weather was as
unfavourable as it could be, the attendance was
considerable.

In addition to these prizes numerous others were
given to servants in husbandry for long and faith-
ful services, and also to shepherds for rearing
lambs, by the Oxford Agricultural Society : and by
the Banbury Agricultural Association, for shep-
herds, labourers, and servants giving evidence of
good and faithful servitude.

In the evening the usual dinner took place at. the
Red Lion Hotel, Colonel NORTH, M.P., in the chair.
Among the guests present were—the Hon. J. W
Henley, M.P., Colonel Fane, M.P., Sir Henry
Dashwood, the Rev. W. C. Risley, H. Ward, Esq.,
Mayor of Oxford, Colonel Cartwright, M.P., H.
Cowper, Esq., Mayor of Banbury, &c.
After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, the
awards were read over, and the prizes were dis-
tributed amongst the exhibitors.
"The Members for the counties of Oxford and
Northampton, the borough of Banbury, and the city
of Oxford," was proposed by the Rev. W. S. MIL-
LER, who referred to the patient endurance of the
Lancashire people as an instance of the admirable
manner in which our i epresentative system worked.
Mr. HENLEY, M.P., regretting he was the oldest
of the members whose health had been proposed,
said it was a great pleasure for a member of Par-
liament coming among his friends on such occasions
as this that all political differences were set aside,
and that social converse was uninterruptedly en-
joyed. We English had every reason to congratu-
late ourselves on the present condition of this
country. We had not read the chapter of liberty
so widely as our Transatlantic brethren; but we
were reaping benefits they did not now possess. We
could not but deplore the sufferings, dire disasters
and misery at present existing in the new world. We
must hold our bands, however, and trust the suffer-
ings of our own people, from the loss of one source of
supply, cotton, might be alleviated by the supply
being obtained from some other source. It must
be a sourc3 of satisfaction that every step had been
taken calculated to mitigate the distress in the
north. Those who recollected the distress of former
years would remember that then the people bore
their privations with fortitude, and that there was
no outbreak until the crisis was over. That showed
that prosperity was harder to bear than adversity.
He congratulated them on the peace reigning in this
country, whilst wars and rumours of wars raged
abroad. The best way to have peace was to pre-
pare for war. (Applause.) It was all nonsense to
suppose that we should stand still unmoved when
we saw an enemy pulling his coat off, with a lot of
guns and swords lying close at hand. It was na-
tural for us to pull our coats off and double up our
fists under those circumstances. People said it was
disagreeable to "pay the piper," but it was cer-
tainly more pleasant to " pay the piper ard have
peace" than pay and fight. (Applause.) He thanked
them very sincerely for drinking his health.
Col. NORTH, M.P., said one of the chief supports
of a member of Parliament, and one of his chief
comforts, was to know that he was likely to receive
the support of his fellow-countrymen; and not one
of their least gratifications was to meet their consti-
tuents on such an occasion as the present. His
right hon. friend Mr. Henley had alluded to the
distress in the manufacturing districts. He was
afraid he might say he was old enough to have
partaken in the riotous proceedings which occur-
red in the manufacturing districts in 1827-28-
29. He was then stationed with the military
at Manchester, and hardly a day passed with-
out his having to perform the most disagree-
able of duties to an English soldier—being called
out to support the mu

the populace.was quite right in
remarking that is those times the least disturbance
in our social system caused an outbreak on the part
of the people.
The accounts now received from the
districts, however, showed that the

men on that account. He hoped and trusted their
sufferings would soon be mitigated.

the case they must have done pretty well. (Hear,
It had been very truly Enid that these were
troublous and warlike times. Not very long ago
We bad a European war. They could all recollect
how recently the Emperor of Russia wanted to get
rid of the "sick man." That gave rise to one of
the most bloody wars of modern times. Then came
the Indian mutiny, suppressed by the indomitable
courage and vigour of our English soldiers. Then
there were the two Chinese wars, in both of which
we were engaged; and now we were spectators, so to
speak, of one of the most uncivilised civil ware ever
known between two nations, one of whom seemed
desirous of exterminating the other, whilst that
other was fighting for independence. In 1851 they
had an Exhibition in which there were shown no
implements of war, as it was peculiarly an Exhibi-
tion of peace. Now they had a second Exhibition
in which a person who had previously shown
hydraulic machines, exhibited an article for which
he had received knighthood, as being calculated to
ensure the greatest destruction of life of any similar
invention ever produced—he alluded to Sir W.
