The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
.he Company being prohibited, by the S4th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis-
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
Are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PRE \ULM SYSTf.—By this plan only one-half of the
nremiums • with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p lid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIE:i are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER -HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
,ng the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
eutstaMing debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three mouths after proof of the death of
the assured life
The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons,
approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in
connexion with this Company.

The Directors, during the continuance of the prevailing Epidem'c,
particularly call the attention of the public to the fact, that Three
Months' Policies (renewable, If required, at the expiration of that
period) are granted by this Society, covering the risk, not only of
Cholera, but of all other diseases. As no charge is made in this office
for policy stamp, the premium includes every expense. Thus a per-
son aged 30, by the single payment of 125. 11d. may as,ure his life
for 100/. against every disease or accident. The number of policies
now issued is nearly 700.

its delicacy and beauty arc so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan,
Spots, Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the
KALYDOR, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa•
rency of complexion. Ladies travelling or taking out-door exercise
will find it to diffuse a grateful and refreshing feeling. In cases of

pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony tethe virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an Hs. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume itl far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afew
drops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mate it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
mast aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops
on the *town of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
heir ou ehildren's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
bac% it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent 40nVillSiOnS, as well AS promoting the growth of hair.--See

The barony and estate of Islay, comprising the island of Islay
and small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and
Glasgow, and is ore of the richest anti moot productive properties in
the west of Scotland. It ceetains about 140,000 acre'', of which
34,010 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture.
Tll* present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present
to 20,0011.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex-
pended in drainage and improvements. The rents are periodically
and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that
such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much
larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for
about 500,0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose,
and contingent expenses, of 600,0001., in 12,000 501. shares, each
shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to '
be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his
subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The
remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years
amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the
estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000
nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business
of a lite assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of
profits.
Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton-
tine, sill, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his
investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in-
terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits -of
the generallife assurance department (and the basis and guarantee
indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and lucra-
tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years h's nominee
survives, in the accumulated and constantly improving rental; and,
in the ev, nt of his nominee being the last survivor, will become
the absce ate owner, in fee simple, of the-entire estate. It is also
to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the
marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en-
hanced.
The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con-
sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq , the eminent actuary of the Me-
dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and received his entire ap-
probation.
The 4, etste is to be vested in three trustee', resident in Scotland.
The affairs of the Society shall be conducted by a board of seven
directors in Scotland, commtudeating with a board of correspondence
in London. Two general meetings shall be held in Scotland in the
months of „Tune and December.
The preliminary deposit to be ss. per share (being the maximum
snowed under the Registration Act), and a call of 1/. per share shall
be made syt cmnplete registration. The remainder to be called up
by such instalments as tray be found necessary to meet the payment
of the purchase money.

-11 Jr Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar,

York,

" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.

" Sts,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Nils. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed: I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
lielth T have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effcczed by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."
The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.
They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.

AGRICULTURE in CUMBERLAND.
CARLISLE, SATURDAY NIGIIT.—The annual meet-
ing of the East Cumberland Agricultural Society
took place here this afternoon, in the Castle-yard.
The show of prize cattle, particularly horses and bulls,
was most creditable to the exhibitors.
At the dinner in the evening the Earl of Lonsiale
presided. On his right sat Lord Brougham, Colonel
Lowther, M.P., and Mr. P. Howard, M.P. ; on his
left the High Sheriff of the county, the lion. C.
Howard, M.P., Mr. Hodgson, M P.:the Mayor, &c.
Covers were laid for 320, including many of the
most respectable squirearchy and tenantry on the
border.

The dinner took place in the Athenmum•rooms,

Shortly after the commencement of the entertainment
Lord Brougham found occasion suddenly to leave the
room, and was absent for half an hotir. On his return
he was most enthusiastically greeted by the assembled
company, who had in the interim apparently given up
all hope of hearing his Lordship speak.
The usual introductory toasts of " The Queen,"
" His Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the rest of
the Royal Family," with "The Army and Navy,"
having been drunk with the usual honours,

Lord BROUGHAM rose and said—l am about to
propose a toast which I am quite sure you anticipate
from me at this moment—l mean the health of my
Noble Friend on my left, our Chairman, and the
president of this society.—(Cheers.) There is no-
thing more important than that which has occasioned
the formation of this association, namely, the promo-
tion of agriculture in our native country—(Cheers)—
and there is no person at the present time in any part
of our country to whom agriculture is more deeply
indebted than to our Noble Chairman, because of
that vigour and earnestness, and that sagacity and
skill which he knows so well how to apply to every
subject that interests him, and in which, happily for
the community, he from time to time takes a part—l
allude to various public works of his, such as the
reform and improvement of the Post-office, the im-
provement under the Macadam system of the roads
and highways, and various others of the same sort, all
important in their kind, but none so important as
agriculture—in every one of these he has shown the
same distinguished talents, indomitable perseverance,
unwearied zeal, well and firmly directed to the accom-
plishment of his purpose. Since he succeeded to his
ample estates on the death of the late Lord-Lieutenant
of these counties, he has applied himself to agriculture, as
was his bounden duty and also his interest—(Cheers)
—but indeed many men do not discharge their duty
when it is their interest so to do.—(Cheers.) Else
should we see so much bad farming in various parts
of the country ? For it is the duty of every farmer
to be the best farmer he can, and it is his interest
also, yet God wot we do not see every man a good
farmer. But my Noble Friend has performed his duty,
whether it was his duty or not; and I hope and trust
he will, as a good farmer, reap the profits of his good
farming.—(Cheers.) I know what he has done,
because he stated it at a meeting over which I pre-
sided a fortnight ago at Penrith. By deep draining
(the only true system of drainage, as all farmers
must admit,) he has already delivered from water
3,000 acres, and laid no less than 300 lines of deep
lineal drains. In praise of him .who, having begun
only three years ago this admirably useful course of
agricultural improvement, and this great work already
by him performed, it is needless to add more. We
drink him not only as Lord-Lieutenant of Cumber-
land and Westmoreland, but in his nearer connexion
with our present meeting as President of the East
Cumberland Agricultural Society.—(Loud cheers.)
The Earl of LONSDALE said his Noble Friend had
done no more than justice in attributing to him a
desire to promote the prosperity of agriculture, and
that, too, more for the purpose of advancing a great
national and independent interest than from any
benefit it would confer on himself. He believed,

indeed, that his own private interests would be bes
consulted by applying the money he devoted to agri
culturalimprovements in another way. He had
thought it his duty to direct a good deal of attention
to this subject, in consequence of the peculiar position
of England at the present moment, and circum-
stances connected with
,it, which he viewed as of
the highest importance. He was glad to observe the
general feeling throughout the country with refer-
ence to the roprovement of agriculture in order to
make us independent of other countries. One proof
of this they had in their present meeting, which was
not, like that at Penrith, the conjoint association of
the two counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland,
but an assembly of agriculturists connected only
with the immediate locality of Carlisle. Nor was
that city inappropriate for the holding of an agricul-
tural meeting. It was famed, certainly rather as a
manufacturing town. But nothing could he better
than that manufacturers and agriculturists should
unite. They were each other's best customers. If
the one felt distress the other must be sickly.—
(Cheers.) But, more than that, the neighbourhood
of a large town was most beneficial to agriculture.
They all knew as a principle that for what was taken
from the land something must be returned. For ex-
ample, a great quantity of manure was necessarily
coliected in large towns. This created an intolerable
nuisance, which in many places, at the present mo-
ment, increased, if it did not create, some of those
fearful maladies that prevailed in different parts of the
country. But its removal to the adjoining districts
would improve and fertilize their fields. Much time
had been misspent in some large towns on a contro-
versy which had been going on as to the respective
excellence of liquid and solid manures. There were
plans laid for conveying over the land meandering
streams of diluted manure, so different from the pure
mountain streams of the country ; but, as an agri-
culturist, he advised them against this water•sprink-
ling system. They would find it very expensive
and very unmanageable. From what he had done
himself, and from all he had seen of the operations
of others, his opinion was they must rely for good
and certain crops on the solid manure.—(Cheers.)
The effect of such societies as the present was
obviously to stimulate agricultural improvement,
which they must all admit was possible, in order to
obtain the largest product at the smallest expense.
—(Cheers.) Landlords were doing much to for-
ward that object, so were tenants; and at no former
period did England ever possess so respectable and
intelligent a set of tenantry as at present. Land-
lords had their own difficulties to contend with, and
in some cases they were not able to make the requi-
site improvements. But he thought, under
present circumstances, if they could once make it
certain that agriculture would become profitable,
there would be no lack of capital or intelligence to
embark in it.—(Cheers.) With these views, knowing
the energies which were now put forth in every part
of the country, and seeing that Englishmen had
never failed in the pursuit of any object they wished
to attain, he had no despondency with reference to
agriculture; and he hoped when they met next year
they would have as good a prospect before them as
had ever been looked upon in this country.—(Cheers.)
The Noble CHAIRMAN then proposed "the Health
of the High Sheriff;" which was most cordially re-
ceived.
The HIGH SHERIFF, in returning thanks, observed,
that in being thus prominently brought before the
meeting, he felt he might briefly say that, like an
unhappy chieftain in the East who had lately received
sentence of death, he was indeed the victim of circum-
stances , and, like the unhappy 111 oolraj, he was en-
titled to the indulgent consideration of his hearers.—
(A laugh.) It was his earnest desire to discharge
the duties of the high office he most unworthily filled
to the satisfaction of the community, and it was most
gratifying to his feelings to find that his humble en-
deavours had been se favourably received. He con-
sidered it the duty of the High Sheriff to attend all
such meetings as the present, which he did consider
highly beneficial to the country. Not pretending to
know or say anything which could be interestesting
to them on the subject of agricultural improvement,
he would content himselt with expressing his grati-
fication at witnessing the good feeling that prevailed
throughout the county. However strenuously, as oc-
casion might require, they were disposed to exert them-
selves to carry their own party opinions and interests,
when the strife was over they all met in good fellow-
ship, and that rendered the execution of his duties
most agreeable to him.He did not look for un-
bounded prosperity, or anticipate the reign of universal
peace throughout the world; but, to repeat the obser-
vation of his Nob!e and Learned Friend Lord
Brougham at Penrith, if they might not see the day

when the lion would lay down with the lamb, they
bad at least the satisfaction of seeing upon that occa-
sion the blue and yellow boar feed together.
The Earl of LONSDALE had the greatest satisfaction
in now proposing the health of his Noble Friend on
the right, whose presence among them he was sure
they all hailed with grateful delight.—(Cheers.) It
was not for him to refer to the high offices in the
state which Lord Brougham had filled, or the ells•
tinguished abilities he brought to the discharge
of every function he might undertake. But to come
at once home to the particular busine!s of their
meeting, he would say that whenever his Noble
and Learned Friend applied his active mind to any-
thing, good was always the result. At the late Pen-
rith meeting his Noble Friend made some most j ust and
valuable observations as to the importance of farmers
keeping ace aunts. This undoubtedly was a most
difficult subject. He himself had seen all sorts of
accounts. As treasurer of the navy and in the office
of Postmaster-General he had known what public
accounts were. He could manage public accounts,
but a farming account was a hopeless affair. /NI in
tenths, he believed, of the farmers could not tell what
they lost or gained by. They knew the general result
at the end of the year, but the particulars were un-
known. Within two or three days, however, of the

observations made by his Noble friend, a most intel-
ligent land-agent announced that he was preparing a
set of farmers' accounts—that Lord Brougham had
explained everything he had long thought about—
(Cheers)—and he should take an extract from his
speech as a motto for the book.---(Cheers.) Here
was a practical illustration of the advantage their
society had derived from the countenance and support
of his Noble Friend.—(Cheers.) Without further
preface he begged to give " the health of Lord
Brougham."
The toast was drunk with all the honours, and
" good fire."
Lord BROUGITAM, in acknowledging the compli-
ment, said—l am exceedingly obliged to you for the
kind way in which you have rec€ ived my Noble
Friend's proposal, as also to him for the very flatter-
' ing, I should say exaggerated, manner in which he
stated his case when giving my health. No doubt
there is one point in which I entirely agree with him
that he could not overstate—it is my decided attach-
ment to and affection for the agricultural classes of

the community. Though I may differ from some
here, and many not here present, in approving of
measures which they did not think betokened a very
wise and well considered affection for agriculture, on
which I respectfully, but very firmly and conscien-
tiously, take leave to differ with them and to act upon
my own opinion, upon one subject I never had the
least doubt, and I believe no man can have any doubt.
It was referred to most properly and judiciously by
my Noble Friend in the chair. It is the greatest
delusion in all the world—a delusion on the part of
some to suppose—as it is a fraud on the part of others
to pretend, that there is a conflicting interest between
the agricultural, the commercial, and manufacturing
classes of the community.—(Cheers.) That interest
is one and the same.—(Cheers.) As my Noble
Friend most happily observed, if agriculture is going
down or suffering, commerce is pretty sure to be sick.
—(Cheers.) It was said long ago by a very great
merchant, Sir Josiah Chill, whose words I have over
and over quoted in both Houses of Parliament, and
every one admits the moment he hears them, though
like many people who admit things when they hear
them—for example on Sunday, they forget them on
Monday—(A. laugh)—says Sir Josiah Child, " Trade
and the land are knit together so as it never shall be well
with the land if trade fells, and it never shall be ill
with trade if land flourishes,"—(Loud cheers.) That
is my creed on the subject; the creed I hold on Sa-
turday and Monday as well as on Sunday.—(A
laugh.) Now one word as to what my Noble Friend
stated of the importance of these meetings. They aps
pear to me of the highest importance. If it were no
more, they bring together many differently constituted
minds, with various modes of expression, and farmers,
as well as other classes of the community, if they
would convey to each other the results of their experi-
ence, will be sure, in the amicable collision of their dif-
ferent minds, to strike out sparks of light. That is
quite certain. My Noble Friend has given you oae
instance, I will state another, and rather of a remark-
able character. My Noble Friend has adverted to
the urgency with which I insisted on a former occa-
sion that farmers should keep accounts. My Noble
Friend stated that it is utterly impossible, under the
present system, for the farmer to know whether he
gains or loses ; but not only so, suppose he loses one
year on the production of a particular article, how is
he to guide his practice next year from the experience
of the last? It is utterly impossible. Unless he
keeps his accounts with tolerable regularity he must
needs be in the dark as to the result of the particular
processes, and each separate portion of his concerns.
—(Cheers.) I don't pretend to be a farmer ; but it is
not necessary to be a farmer in order to see the im-
portance of the subject. I have had communicated
to me a proposal from a person to publish a work on
farming accounts—a sort of model-farm account-book,
and another has sent me an actual book which he

had published, which never received public patro
nage, but which, since the observations I made, so
well received by my Noble Friend and the great
meeting at Penrith, has acquired some influence.
That is a proof of the importance of such meetings,
and the effect of the collision of minds on this impor-
tant subject.—(Cheers.) You have heard what has
been said by my worthy friend and kinsman, our
High Sheriff, the Moolraj, as he calls himself—
(Much laughter) —though happily he is not in the
state of the Moolraj.—(A. laugh.) lie reminds me
of an excellent joke he made, and which succeeded
perfectly at Penrith, about the blue and yellow boar
lying down like the lion and the lamb together. He
has repeated his joke. I must add my joke in answer
to his. His juke was at my expense. Mine was not
at his expense. I return good for evil—(A laugh)—
for what,„l said was this—" It was no wonder the
blue and yellow should be together, because, as
optical philosophers tell us, blue and yellow combined
make green; and the blue and yellow now had joined
to make the earth more green than it was before."—
(Cheers and laughter.) I was rather discouraged at
seeing a French newspaper mention, with reference
to this matter, that there was a joke they could
not comprehend, though they are very apt to
comprehend jokes and often to make good ones in
Paris. They say they could very well understand
the optician's doctrine, that blue and yellow made
green; but they could not see what blue and yellow
had to do with Brougham and Lowther.—(Much
laughter.) So ignorant were these poor people in
France—(Continued laughter)—they did not know
that the one meant blue and the other yellow, which
explained the whole matter. With respect to what
my Noble Friend has stated I must beg leave to say
a few words. I won't enter into the controversy
about manure. I venture with the greatest humility
to differ from our Noble Chairman on that subject,
and proceed upon most important experiments re-
cently made. Until they are repeated and thoroughly
tested by the repetition, I cannot say whether I abide
by liquid or solid manure. That is a matter for
further consideration. But there is another subject
to which I would direct your attention. There can
be no doubt of the great importance of improving
agricultural machinery. I adverted on a former
occasion to the application of steam for this pur-
pose. I think it of the highest possible moment
(Cheers)—and I have no doubt whatever that
before twelve months pass over we shall
have attempts made—they may fail at first, as the
steam-engineitself failed at first—but which must
afterwards succeed.—(Cheers.) What I desire is to
see steam engines not too large but on a convenient
and inexpensive scale—somewhat between the larger
sort and the small teakettle shape, in which such
engines have been found practicable in Glasgow for
various operations, applied not merely to thrashing,
sifting, and chopping machines under cover, but I
expect to see them applied in the field itself.—
(Cheers.) And if any one should say that this is a
chimerical and visionary expectation, I would ask how
long is it since you had the expectation that steam-
carriages would be brought into use ? Yet they are
now supplanting horses and carriages of every other
description ; why then should I not be permitted to
hope that the application of steam should not supplant
but aid the horse and ploughman ?—(Cheers.) To
take only one instance, there can be no doubt that
clodcrushing is a most important operation. On this
subject I may be allowed to say that I have contri-
buted not a little to the advancement of agricultural
improvement. The Useful Knowledge Society,
under my presidence, has published eight volumes in
penny numbers on farm improvements, manure, and
machinery. Earl Spencer, unfortunately now no
more, vice-president of the society, attended more to
those topics than I did, but I also paid some attention
to them, and, having refreshed my recollection by
some of the disquisitions in those works, I find that
the important subject of clodcrushing was largely
handled, and three or four different kinds of machines
are indicated for that purpose to which steam Is appli-
cable. Don't let any one suppose that clodcrushing
is not of the greatest importance in farming ; to the
minute pulverization of the soil I ascribe a great por-
tion of its fertility. It stands to reason ; everybody
knows how important spade husbandry is, though it
takes so much labour; its effects are more visible in
Belgium, Holland, and part of France in increasing

the fertility of the soil. For what reason ? Nothing
of the size, of the tip of your finger but is crushed into
dust ; and it stands to reason that should be so. When
the clods are heavy, and particularly in clay soils, na-
ture is allowed to exhaust a great portion of its vegeta-
tive power in pushing the roots through the incumbent
mass; but if you help nature by crushing the clods into
a powder like snuff, the root gets through it easily, and
no vegetable power is thrown away. To this
important point I say I hope to live to see steam
power applied. lam most delighted to find that there
is a good chance of these remarks, and the still more
valuable observations which fell from my Noble
Friend in the chair, going forth to the world. I am
sure they will do so, for I know through whose hands
they will pass—they will go out with most extraor-
dinary accuracy—much greater accuracy than I am
sorry to say belonged to the local report that my
Noble Friend and I had been at a small dance together.
—(A. laugh.) It was stated that at Brougham I had
danced with the country lasses for two or three
licu-s together. I wish to God it were true.—(Much
laughter.) No one would have been more delighted
than myself. But the truth was, I had gone to bed.
—(Laughter.) lam particularly glad such was the
case, for the sake of a most worthy, noble, and learned
friend of mine, my predecessor and successor in office,
Lord Lyndhurst, who must have been extremely
jealous if any such thing had occurred. Ten or
twelve years ago I well remember he made me dance
because he did—(A laugh)—and as he did I thought
I might as well try.—(A laugh.) I always maintained
I beat him that night, while he thought he beat me ;
but if he had seen the statement to which I allude,
when he, from his unfortunate lameness, cannot dance
at all, his jealousy would pass all bounds.—(Much
laughter.) As one of the greatest men and lawyers
of the present day—as one of my oldest and dearest
friends, it gives me the greatest delight to administer
the consolation to Lord Lyndhurst, that his reputa-
tion is in no danger; for I love not passed him behind
his back.—(Lcud cheers.) I beg again to tender you
my

thusiasm,

Howard, M.P.
The health of Sir James Graham, as the largest
proprietor of acreage, and the best cultivated estate
in that division of the county, followed amidst loud
cheers.

The healths of " the Lord Bishop of the Diocese
and the Clergy," " the Members for the county and
city," " the Mayor and Corporation of Carlisle,"-were
afterwards given and duly acknowledged.
The Earl of LONSDALE then proposed " Success to
the East Cumberland Agricultural Society." Estab-
lished a great many years ago, it bad gone on with
snore or less support ; but he believed its founders
never anticipated such a meeting as had taken place
that day. One of its earliest promoters happened to
be present ; and he should therefore associate the toast
with the name of his friend Mr. Ferguson, the founder
of the society. The Noble Chairman, at some length,
referred to the history of the association, and stated,
with reference to the agricultural implements which
he had been able to introduce in that district, that he
hal learned the importance of draining in his manage-
ment of the metropolitan roads some twenty years
ago. Some portion of the county of Middlesex was
low and flat, with a strong clay soil. He found that
the shallow system of draining took a little water off
the surface without strengthening the foundation, and
after various consultations he determined on draining
a great part of the metropolitan roads five or six feet
deep. From that time be found that their maintenance
did not exceed half the cost. He remembered on one
occasion driving a drain through a gentleman's garden,
which was necessary to the particular lo-
cality. The owner, of course, was offended,
lustily protested against their interference,
appealed to the Legislature, and in every way
opposed their measures. They persevered in their
drainage, and, two years afterwards the same gentle-
man said, "I cannot think what has come to my
garden, for the vegetables ccme a month earlier, and
all the other produce remains a month later."—
(Cheers.) His own experience, as a practical agri-
cultural improver, did not extend beyond three or
four years; he therefore spoke with diffidence, but
all he had seen led him to believe that shallow drain-
ing of 2 feet or 2i feet was throwing their money
away. He was accustomed during winter to go over
as much farmers' land as any one in the kingdom,
keeping as he did a pack of hounds at Tring, and with
reference to Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Ox-
fordshire, and Bedfordshire, he would say he knew
at once the depth of drainage in every piece of ground
over which he passed. Nothing could be more
striking than the difference presented by land under
deep and shallow draining. He had seen this exem-
plified on the estates of two friends of his—the Duke
of Northumberland and the Duke of Bedford—of
opposite opinions, but both most energetic in en-
deavouring to improve their lands. The Duke of
Bedford, although his predecessor had laid out a great
sum of money in shallow draining, had entirely dis-
carded the system. In fact, deep drainage was the
only system that could with propriety be adopted. On
his own estate of \Vhitehaven, one farmer who had
looked with dismay at his land being cut and hacked

about, admitted this year that while the adjoining
farms had formerly always reaped before him he now
reaped before any of them— (Cheers)—and his har-
vest this year had come three weeks earlier than
usual.—(Cheers.)
" The Judges," " The Successful Candidates,"
"The Unsuccessful Candidates," and "The Vice.
President," were next toasted.
The Hon. C. HOWARD, M.P., gave " The Press,"
which was drunk with much applause.
Lord BROUGHAM wished to say a few words with
reference to the last toast. The press undoubtedly
was a moat important power; without it all other
powers in the state would be paralyzed.—(Cheers.)
Without it, he ventured to say, no taxes could be
raised in the country.—(A laugh.) In London there
was a great dark building where a concealed manu-
factory was carried on—a manufactory of tax-s.—
(Laughter.) If that was all the public knew
about the manufactory of taxes no power on
earth could make the people pay them.—
(Cheers) The manufactory would not go on to
thrive; something would happen to stop the wheels;
the oil which kept those wheels going, and he hoped
always would—though he wished they would grind a
little less than n ow— (Cheers) —the oil which kept those
wheels always going was the publicity which the
press gave to the proceedings in Parliament.—
(Cheers.) It was considered by Parliament a breach
of privilege to publish a word of what went on there,
but that was a privilege which very justly neither
House had been anxious to enforce.—(Cheers.) In
various ways the press 'in this country had acted
most beneficially; they had all benefited by the dif-
fusion of useful knowledge. The society of which
he was the head had published many thousands of
books within the last twenty-five years; amongst
others, they published a magazine, which circulated
to the extent of 220;000 every week.—(Cheers.)
But, with reference to the press generally, he would
say that he viewed with gratitude the great services
of that valuable instrument of public instruction and
good government.—(Cheers.) Other nations were
not so happily situated; nothing like a free press
existed in France. In short, there was no freedom
at all. Perhaps he was now exposing himself to have
his liberty cut short when he went through Paris next
month—(Laughter)—but, nevertheless, he believed
what he had said. Certainly, there was not a very
strong Government there, but it was strong enough
to keep the press in order—(Laughter)—for they
could suppress the newspapers any week.—(A laugh.)
That would not be tolerated in this country. Lately
it was thought high time that the journals got
possession of the Government ; now the Government
had possession of the journals. Everybody in the
Administration belonged to the National office, where
the unhappy revolution was hatched, which plunged
France from the height of prosperity into the abyss
of ruin.—(Cheers.) In Provence, where he resided,
they had a sub-editor of the National as mayor, but
he did not complain of that.—(Laughter.) The
French had a Republic, it was said, but the only Re-
publican thing among them was Republican confu-
sion.— (Great cheering.) There was a Republic and
no Republicans.—(Laughter.) The people did not
pretend to be in favour of the Republic, and when
the worthy man now its head went into the country,
he heard not " Vive la Republique !" but " Vive
l'Empereur!" and " Vive Napoleon!' It was not
because the press had done it that he objected to the
Republic; he did not care who had done it ; his ob-
jection was, that the thing had been dune at all. He
wished the press to be victorious, and the able men
who conducted it known in society ; but he ob.
jetted to any set of men making a revolution when
the people were in possession of a mild good Go-
vernment, and no pretence existed for making any
change. The Noble and Learned Lord, after some
further observa'ions, concluded a speech which was
much applauded, by proposing " the Health of the
Duke of Richmond and the Royal English Agricul-
tural Sccietv."
Several other toasts were proposed, after which the
meeting separated.
