ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SO-
. CIETY OF ENGLAND.
YORE, JULY 14.—Yesterday at four o'clock, the
general dinner of the society took place in a pavilion
erected for the purpose between the Castle and the Ouse
The number of the company could not have been less
than 1,200, and comprised, with the exception of the
agricultural labourers, all classes connected by oocupa-
tion or otherwise with the landed interest of the
country. The appearance of su large an assemblage
when rising to do honour to the toasts proposed on the
distinguished guests present was particularly striking
and tine. The whole proceedings, it is proper to adol,
went off with the utmost regularity and decorum. His
Royal Highness Prince Albert, who was received
with enthusiastic and vociferous applause, sat
on the right hand of the President, on a raised
platform which ran along one side of the pavilion,
and on which the following noblemen and gentle-
men were also seated :--Earl Fortescue, the Marquis
of Abercorn, the Earl of Zetland, Earl Powis, Earl
Fitzwilliam, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Beaumont, the
Chevalier Bunsen, M. Van de Weyer, Mr. Bancroft, the
Lord Mayor of York, Lord George Bentinck, Lord
Feversham, Professor Johnston, Viscount Morpeth, Mr.
M. Milnes, M.P., Mr. C. Hillyard, Mr. Hudson, M.P.,
Mr. Pusey, M.P., Mr. George Stephenson, civil engi-
neer, and other distinguished personages. In other
parts of the pavilion were seated the Marquis of Down-
shire, Sir D. Acland, Mr. Childers, M.P., the Duke of
Richmond, Sir Francis Lawley, Sir C. Lemon, Sir
Robert Price, Lord Portman, Lord Southampton, the
Earl of Egmont. The table opposite the President's, on
the other side of the pavilion, was occupied by the Earl
of Chichester, president elect, and the other vice-
presidents of the society.
After dinner,
The PRESIDENT proposed, in brief terms," The health
of her Majesty the Queen."

The toast was received with immense cheering, the
waving of handkerchiefs, and clapping of hands.
The PRESIDENT next rose, and gave " The Queen
Dowager, Prince Albert, Albert l'rince of Wales, the
Duke of Cambridge, and the rest of the Royal Family."
Alluding to the presence of his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, he said—On ordinary occasions the toast just
proposed is always received with enthusiasm; but I am
sure that I only second the wish of the society, and all
who are now present, when I say that they do feel
greatly honoured at having been visited on this occasion
by his Royal Highness. His Royal Highness visited
the show yard shortly after his arrival in York. Yes-
terday he examined minutely the stock exhibited, and so
anxious was be to see what had been done by this society,
in the way of improvement, that he again visited the
show field this morning at six o'clock.—(Cheers.) He
was engaged for two hours in inspecting the implements,
and he was also pleased, as a governor of this society, to
show that he has come here not merely to see the show,
but to evince the deep interest he takes in this meeting
by again attending the ground when it was most
thronged with the members, and therefore his Royal
Highness, although he must have felt somewhat
fatigued, was pleased to pay a second visit to the
yard in order that he might gratify the members
afterwards present.—(Loud cheers.) And I need not
remind you that one of the great objects of this society
has been to lead the country to know that it is not
merely for the benefit of the farmer that it holds these
meetings, but that it wishes sincerely that the condition
of the labourers may be bettered.—(Cheers.) I cannot
remind you of that without asking you it you do not be-
lieve with me that the country was perfectly electrified
with the speech which was made lately by his Royal
Highness when he was advocating the claims of the la-
bourer?— (Loud cheering.) I have now the satisfactson
of proposing to you " The health of the Queen Dowager,
Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, the Duke of
Cambridge, and the rest of the Royal family."—(Con-
tinued cheering.)
His Royal Highness Prince ALBERT, who was re-
ceived with tremendous applause, rose and said—Gen-
tlemen, 1 have been most deeply touched to witness
the expression of your loyalty to the Queen—(Cheers)
—and to the members of the Royal family generally,—
(Continued cheering) I beg to return you my best
thanks for your drinking my health with so much cor-
diality. It is a great satisfaction to me to be able this
year to pay you an old debt, by coming amongst you and
attending this most useful and interesting meetings__
(Cheers.) All that I have seen to-day exhibits a bright
picture of the progress of British agriculture, and for
much of that progress the country is indebted, I firmly
believe, to this society.—(Cheers.) Agriculture, which
was once the main pursuit of this, like every other, na-
tion, tar from weakening the development of commerce
and manufactures holds a fundamental position in the
realm.—(Great cheering.) And although time has
changed the position which was once held by the landed
proprietors with their feudal dependencies, yet the coun-
try gentleman, with his wife, the country clergyman,
the farmer, and the labourer, form still one great and
united family—(Continued cheering)—one united family,
in which we cordially recognize the foundations of our
social state.—(Great applause.) Science and mechanical
improvement have changed the former practice of culti-
vating the soil. In this day it is net an industrial pur-
suit only, but one requiring ,capital, one requiring the
application of machinery, skill, and perseverance in the
struggle of competition.—(Cheers.) We must consider
this to be a great progress, as it demands high r energies
and a higher intelligence. Conscious of these changes,
we agriculturists of England—(Great cheering)—have
collected in this meeting, the meeting of the Royal Agri-
cultural Society, in order to communicate to each other
the result of our various experiences and the progress we
have made in the application of science or improvement of
ingenuity of machinery, or in the breed of cattle. Feel-
ing, us I do, a high and lively interest in this noble pur-
suit, and having myself, in a small way—(Cheers)—ex-
perienced all the pleasures and little pangs, I feel its
paramount importance to the country.—(Great applause.)
I feel highly gratified that the president of the meeting
should entrust it to me to propose to you the toast of the
day, which is " Success to the Royal Agricultural So-
ciety of England." I trust that you will respond to it
with enthusiastic cheers.
The toast was then drunk, his Royal Highness him-
self regulating the cheering which followed.
Earl Frrawmuesa proposed the next toast. He said,
that he was sure he should only consult the wishes of the
company, and that of his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
who had done them the honour of being present on that
occasion, when he called their attention to a toast which,
after that which they had just before so enthusiastically
cheered, would, he thought, appear to them, as it did
to him, to call for their special attention. They were
honoured on the present occasion not only by the pre-
sence of the Consort of their Sovereign but also by
that of the Sovereigns of other nations, who were, by
their Ministers, there testifying to the value of the so-
ciety and expressing their desire for the prosperity of
this empire.—(Cheers.) It had indeed been said by some
ill-omened voice that ambassadors were but licensed spies
on the conduct of other nations. He said that it was by
an ill-omened voice that this sentiment was expressed.
Ile looked upon the representatives of foreign nations in
a very different light. He looked upon them as the
means, not by which foreign nations were to spy impro-
perly into the conduct of their neighbours, but by which
they were to cement friendship and mutual good-will.
He looked upon the Ministers of foreign states as the
golden links in that great network of society which the
civilised world now formed, he might have said the net-
work of European society, were he not reminded by
the presence of his friend Mr. Bancroft that civilised
society was no longer confined to Europe, but a large
portion of the other quarters of the world. It was then
a bright circumstance that on the present occasion they
were honoured by the presence of the Ministers of
three great foreign Powers, He had alluded to his
honourable friend Mr. Bancroft, who sat near him, who
had, in illustrating the history of his own country, added
largely to British literature, and had obtained for his
works a conspicuous niche in the temple of literary fame.
If he looked to the other side of the chair, he there saw
M. Van de Weyer, the Minister of the Belgian Sove.
reign, who was placed at the head of a Government
which, like our own, gloried in free institutions; and
not only gloried but rejoiced that those free institutions
were bound together and cemented by the Royal Head
which reigned over them. Did he say over them? He
would say not over them, but with them; for his Ma-
jesty the King of the Belgians reigned with his subjects;
his subjects had given within no very long period a sa-
tisfactory demonstration of this. Having passed on the
other side of the chair, when he returned on his own
side he saw sitting near him his excellent friend the
Chevalier Bunsen, whose name realised, to every one
who had the slightest knowledge of European literature,
his connexion with those bright names, Niebuhr and
Arnold, immortal in their countries by restoring the
history of former times. When they looked at the three
distinguished persons he had mentioned, the representa-
tives of foreign nations with whom this country was in
amity, they might well rejoice in being honoured with
their presence, and it would ill become him not to pay
them his tribute of admiration by wishing them health
and prosperity. 'rho Noble Earl concluded by giving
" The health of the Foreign Ministers who have ho-
noured the show with their presence."
The toast having been heartily drunk by the company,
M. VAN DE WEYER then said—ln rising to return our
most sincere thanks for the honour you have conferred on
us,l'and for the manner in which this toast has been received
by you, I ought to apologise and express my regret that
the toast is not in better and more competent hands.
However, when a foreigner speaks before an English
audience, some how or another the kindness with which
he is received makes him almost as much, or I should
say more, at home than if he spoke in his own native
language, before his own countrymen. It would appear
an act of ingratitude, both nationally and personally, if
I confined myself merely to thanking you for the honour
which you have just conferred on me. It would be
an act of public ingratitude in me, the representa-
tive of a country where agriculture has been the
making and the saving of us, of a country whose efforts
in that line have always met here with the most un-
bounded praise. It would appear a personal ingratitude
because the honour which has been conferred on me is
not from any personal merit, but as the representative of
Belgium, being in that capacity an honorary member of
your society. Belgium has an old debt to pay to Eng-
land, for there is no country where our practical efforts
in agriculture have been more clearly exposed than in
England.—(Cheers.) Two hundred years ago an Eng-
