STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, SEPT. 30.
We hays had a very dull and inactive market. There
is a general opinion that cotton will be dearer, yet in the
present state of the money market buyers are disinclined
to operate, so that manufacturers, who have already had
to pay very full rates for their raw material or for yarns'
are placed in circumstances of great discouragement'
The rather better inquiry for India reported last week
led to stocks being somewhat lightened, so far as
sO-inch shirtings were concerned ; but there has been
little or no business to-day, and the market is, on
the whole, flatter than on Tuesday last. The
yarn market is firm, but in other respects it is in
much the same unsatisfactory state as the cloth. Spin-
ners,e com2elled by
the hardening tendency of the cotton
market, are asking more for yarns, while both manufac-
turersaik t,
and shippers are unwilling to give last quotations.

LEEDS, SEPT. 30.
There is no alteration to report in the bWinesa at our
cloth halls this morning. The demand for heavy goods
was brisk, though fur ordinary cloths the sale was dull,
except in whites. At Huddersfield this morning there
was only a small attendance of buyers, who made but
few Purchases in low unions. Business generally is
reported unusually quiet.

BRADFORD, SErT. 29.

The incessant rain to-daylteoccasiOned a very flat
market. There is an extremely limited attendance, trade
is dull, and business in each branch exceedingly meagre.
In the few. transactions that have taken place, however,
in combining wools and yarns full prices have been ob-
tained. In manufactured goods there has scarcely been
a piece sold.
In the Halifax market the inquiry for some descrip-
tions of worsted
goods is somewhat better and
that
and stocks in
the hands of manufacturers are low ; they
the prices do not improve„, in proportion to the rates
o btained for wool- Twist yaps are rather dearer, with
a fair demand ; but carded qualities are not much asked
u
for. More money is required for fine bright-haired
wools, to which the spinners are compelled to accede
The growers are reported as holding out for still higher
prices, and stocks in the batids of Halifax staplers are
not very extensive.

The Right Hon. W. E. GLADSTONE, M.P., then came
forward, and was received with loud and protracted cheer-
ing. When it had in some degree subsided the right hon.
gentleman said:—My Lord Bishop, I venture to assure this
great assembly that if, on account of the connexion of
my family with the great community of Liverpool.. ....-
app•iirance hero is a materdfinterest to any of those who
hear me it is not less so to myself. (Applause.) My Lord
Bishop, you were pleased to speak of my share in the pious
labours of the evening as if the assuming that share de-
noted something of the nature of condescension. I assure
you, my Lord, I feel myself rather that it is not condes-
cension, but, if it be any simple sentiment of my own
mind, it would rather be ambition—it might be presump-
tion—which should induce me to place myself before you
33 the advocate of the cause of the Society for the Propa-
gation of the Gospel. (Cheers.) The matters with which
I am most accustomed to deal are, indeed, widely differ-
ent from these ; and, perhaps, descending for a moment
from the seriousness of the subject, I might venture thus
far to say that you have spoken to-night of the usual strain
of debate in the assembly with which I am familiar in
terms far more complimentary than those which are some-
times employed respecting it. (Laughter and cheers.) But,
however that may be, and grave and weighty as are the
subjects to which within those walls the representatives of
a free people address themselves, they cannot be more
grave or weighty—they cannot compare, in pointof gravity
and weight, with the interests that are involved in the ob•
jects of this society and of this meeting. (" Hear, hear,"
and cheers.) I rather, my Lord Bishop, should feel it
necessary to seek an excuse for taking upon me any share
in such a duty. You have listened with merited attention
to those who in this country have devoted their time
from year to year to the efficient prosecution of those
useful labours—you have listened with oven more merit-
ed attention to the voice of one of that devoted band
who, in the name of England and
.her Church, are
preaching the Gospel in the far countries of the world ; and
these, my lord, are the men to whom attention, to whom
honour is due. (Cheers.) Any tribute in my power to
render—l won't say any information in my power to give
—I am but an observer like yourselves—any tribute in
my power to render is not worthy to be named for a
moment in comparison with the sacrifices of those who
tear themselves from honie and country, who encounter
difficulty, hardship, disease, danger, and death for the
cause of the Gospel in foreign lands. (Cheers.) My Lord
Bishop, it is little indeed that I can offer in the way of
services to this society ; but, summoned as I have been
by the persons responsible for the conduct of its affairs
in this town, I could not decline to appear here, in your
presence, as the constituted head of the church of the
diocese, to tender my testimony, such as it is, in
its favour ; and in no place could that testimony be
rendered—l won't say with mere efficacy, but certainly
with greater earnestness and zeal, or with greater satis.
faction and interest to myself—than it is now rendered,
in the town where first I saw the light. (Loud cheers.)
My Lord Bishop, we are met, I believe, at a critical period
of the history of the society. For a long time its course
has been one of unremitted assiduity, and of a prosperity
almost commensurate with that assiduity. For my own
part, I feel it due to its managers to say that when we hear
of the greatness of the works that it has accomplished—
when we see how deeply it has struck its roots in many of the
great territories of the earth—when we notice, to take only
a single instance, what a blessed memory it has left behind
it, and what a great and blessed trophy it has erected in the
United States of America; and when I then consider how
little in comparison of those great works are the sums
which this society has raised from this rich and powerful
country, I feel indeed our debt of gratitude to Providence,
which from such small beginnings 'has wrought out such
groat results, universally accumulated; and that we are
likewise under a debt of gratitude to those who have been
stewards of its affairs; and we are likewise subject to the
strongest appeal addressed to us, to our interests, our
minds, and our hearts, to rouse ourselves at length in or-
der to have a worthy part in the great office of such an
institution. But it is crisis in the history of the society,
because the society, whose means have been increasing,
but whose obligations have gone on increasing even faster
than its means, has recently suffered the sudden with-
drawal of one of the resources to which it was accustomed
to trust. That resource consisted, as probably many of you
are aware, of what is termed a Queen's Letter, which after
all amounted to no more than this, a permission only to
the members of the Church to offer their free-will offerings
in all the churches of the land on behalf of the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. (Hear,)
I believe that this is a resource that it would have been
perfectly competent to the Church of England to make use
of, with full profit even, irrespective of the sanction of the
Crown. (Applause.) But it so happens that it has been
a particular form in which the Church has been accustomed
to snake her appeal to her members; and the sudden
breaking up of any form whatever, even although it is one
of no peculiar virtue in itself, and one which might origi-
nally have been easily dispensed with, is usually attended
with a momentary inconvenience; and the inconvenience
is, I believe in the Present instance, something like the
OS Of MI average income of 10,0001. a-year. I hope there I

o an upon Parliament, and amounting to
three times the aggregate of that which it then collected
for itself and that it received by the sanction of the nation.
Under those circumstances we should be agreed that there
is not:reason for despondency and no reason for despair in
the circumstances in which we new stand. I will ven-
ture to go further—l will ♦enture to say, without giving
auy opinion upon the withdrawal of this peculiar instru•
went of support, the manner of which I scarcely regret—
I will venture to express my strong opinion that the with-
drawal will prove ultimately, ay, and speedily, to have
been beneficial to the society ; for again will happen that
which has happened already—the energy of the society
will receive a new stimulus. In consequence of this re-
moval of the artificial props, she will fall back more unre-
servedly upon her faith, her zeal, her prayers—her appeals
to the faith, the love, the zeal, the prayers, the alms, the
service of Christian people; and fur every pound that she
amassed through the machinery of which she now loses the
use, she will obtain many pounds without being indebted
for them to anything, only excepting the love of the mem-
bers of the Church of England. I was glad to hear from
those who have addressed to us to-night warnings and cau-
tions with respect to the expectations that we are to enter-
tain from the works of the missionaries of the society in
foreign lands. It is the business of this institution, if I
understand it rightly—l don't mean to say that it is not
likewise the business and the practice of other institutions
—but it is the business of this institution, if I understand
it aright, to make her works resemble the nation to which
she belongs—to take care that her proceedings are straight-
forward, not so much by the love of show as by a solid
prudence—to see that she lays her foundation broad and
deep as those who have to do with God, and not with men,
as those who are to obey Hia commands and to trust Him
for the issue—reckoning as to the time when the fruits are
to become visible, scarcely belonging to us. It is
the work of faith and patience to wait for those
fruits, as it oftentimes happens that the larger they
appear before rising to the surface the more precious
and the more minting they are when they once
have appeared. Solidity has, I venture to say, been
up to the present time the eminent and peculiar cha-
racteristic of this society ; for this society, though it be a
private institution, yet it has had to do with the greates
communities of men ; and, as you have already noticed,
there is a great community of men—a religious persuasion
—beginning to count its numbers by millions; I mean the
Episcopal Church in the United States of America. That
Church, with the simplicity of its laws, with its apostolic
doctrine, with its discipline, with its constitutional go-
vernment affecting with its rising tone their spiritual life,
looks back upon this society as its parent. You are not
it uilding—you are not labouring for to-day; your labours
are cheerfully to expect their reward beyond the grave;
but, looking at them even in their temporal operation, you
are labouring for all time—you are seeking to find that
which should be a blessing not only to those who now live,
but to those of long successive generations. It is true that
Christianity itself, in the first impulse that it received
from the hand of its Divine Author, appeared to make
rapid progress; but how soon was that progress stayed ?
How many centuries elapsed before any considerable mass
of Europe could be called Christendom? It is a true analogy
that you draw from the vegetable world—the oak does not
grow in the same time as the poplar ; and great and fun-
damental changes that teach the heart and the character of
man, cannot be operated with the same rapidity as the
sword of the warrior devastates a country, and seems to
produce in the shortest time the most terrible, and as one
would suppose, the most enduring effects. This is a great
moral fact, and you must be content to see this society go
forward according to the laws of moral facts; and I
think we are justified in saying that for the time which
has elapsed the fruits which have been borne warrant
you in making kumblo submission to the Divine will--
warrant you in entertaining a sanguine anticipation for
the future. (Hear, hear.) Now, my lord, I may be per-
mitted to say, that sound prudence has strengthened the
operations of this society. I do not intend to touch on
that interesting portion of its labours—perhaps the only
portion of them which will be permanent, for we may see
the colonial part of *its operations reach its climax in the
natural course of events—l do not mean to touch on that
interesting portion of its labours which are connected with
the heathen ; but I wish to refer to that which is especially
characteristic of this society, because I find myself directed
to it by the terms of the resolution which has been placed
in my hands. There may be an impression, after all, that
those who quit our shores in order to find their habitations
in foreign lands—l should not say foreign, but in distant 1
lands—and to continue the subjects of the British Crown :
in their new character as colonists—there might be an im-
pression that these men should bear for themselves the
burden of providing for themselves religious ordinances.
Well now I think the true principle is that tempoiary
support and aid should be lent to them from home
(Hear, hear.) I don't hesitate to go even so far as t, say.

_ . .
( been acting. You have boon told that in one important
diocese of Tasmania, within a couple of years, the grant of
the society will be practically abolished. You have been
told that it will bo absolutely abolished in a still more im-
portant district, the diocese of Toronto. As I have said, it
is not for me to give information which I scantily possess,
but it may be worth mentioning to you that, not only has
the principle of subscribing for the support of the pare.
chial clergy made great way in the colonies, but we have
seen, within the last two years, the principle of support
for the episcopal heads of the Church likewise recognised
as a burden the colonies ought to take upon themselves.
And, unless I am much mistaken, there aro at this
moment contemplated—if they are not gradually ad-
vancing towards maturity—two funds in Upper Canada,
raised solely from colonial resources, with a view to the 1
foundation of two bishoprics in that colony. (Applause.)
I might also venture to say what has been done by the 1
Bishop of Now Zealand. (Applause.) Unless I am greatly
mistaken, that admirable man, as prudent and practical in
his measures as he is fervent in his zeal and unbounded
in his sacrifices to God—(applause)—from the very first mo-
ment when he went to take the charge of that missionary
church, has been contemplating and preparing for the time
when it would have to depend only upon its own resources;
and, by the prudent acquisition of land, he has been form-
ing a fund, the objeot of which is, after a limited period, to
relieve this society of all pecuniary charge to the church of
New Zealand. So, I trust you will feel that the object for
which you are now asked to contribute is a just, a prudent,
and a reasonable object. Ido not say.that our case would
be hard if we threw our alms away, for alms given in piety
and faith, even though the object boons not to require them,
are far better spent, I fear, than large portions of the expen-
diture of this great Christian country. (Applause.) Still,
it is not for the society to proceed upon that principle. It
is her duty to satisfy every one of the thorough reasonable-
Joss, tho justice, the prudence, and the foresight with which
she acts ; and you will agree with me she does what is just
and fair to the people of England who support, and what is
most for the interest of the settlers in the colonies, whose
spiritual nurse she has been for so many generations, when
she adopts the rule which is adopted iu the State because it
is in regard to its own sphere—namely, that during the pe-
riod of the first difficulties and pressure the liberal offerings
of the people of England should be given to prevent the
want of religious ordinances ; but, after the difficulties of
the first stage of colonial life are surmounted, she consents,
not for our sakes, but for their own, that they should take
upon themselves the burden of supporting their own colo-
nial ministry. (Applause.) Well, now, my Lord Bishop,
standing in the town of Liverpool, and addressing a fraction
indeed, a small fraction of its vast population, but yet an
assemblage so large and of such a character that its influence
must bo felt throughout the whole of that gigantic mass—
standing in the town of Liverpool, I venture to beseech
this assembly well to lay to heart both the dignity and
the necessity of this work; and likewise well to consider
the peculiai relation in which it stands, first to our
functions as Christians, next to our place in the world as
Englishmen ; lastly, I would even venture to say to your
place, as to a commercial community almost unrivalled for
its marvellous expansion and its groat prosperity. What
is this society of which we speak, and what are its claims
upon you ? When founded? More than a century and a
half have elapsed since it commenced its unobtrusive la-
hours. It was founded in a time which, in reference to the
best purposes of our nature, I am afraid we must call an
evil time, for undoubtedly, although the Revolution of
1688 was, in the hands of God, the means of preserving t•
us the inestimable blessings of our civil and religious free-
dom, yet we cannot but see, not in any just relation to
that revolution or its causes, yet as a matter of fact dur-
ing the last century, and from its very commencement,
these cause in a rapid decline in the religion and morality
of the British people. As the consequence of that, a groat
relaxation of the discipline of the Church, a material
lowering of the standard of its piety, and as the last result
again, or at least the necessary result of these lamentable
circumstances, a great multiplication of the religious dif-
ferences of the country. In full time darkness had begun
to gather in, and, while it was beginning to increase, this
society was founded by some of those who wore the elect
of their generation—the mon who endeavoured to atom
the tide of ungodliness at home were likewise the men who
endeavoured to make provision for the interests of their
fellow-subjects and fellow-Christians abroad. During all
those generations—during those dreary years of the last
century—this society never ceased from its work. I will
not say it was carried on with all the energy and zeal that
now characterise its operations ; but this I will say, that
wherever it was it was a source and a fountain of bless-
ing to mankind. (Loud cheers.) And if it did no
more than this, it reminded the Church of England of the
duty of missionary operations in a 4..,iee when they
were forgotten, I say that alone. ..rrespective of all pre

After inspecting the stock exhibited, the company re-
paired to the Town-hall, and partook of a cold collation,
called,hy courtesy a dinner. The Duke of Buckingham
presided, and was supported by the Right Hon. Mr.
Disraeli, M.P., Colonel Knox, M.P., and General
Hall, M.P. There were also present various other gen-
tlemen of note and influence in the district.
The repast having been disposed of, the noble chair-
man gave the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, which
were received and drunk with the usual cordiality.
The noble CHAIRMAN then proceeded to give " Pros-
perity to the Royal Bucks Agricultural Association ;"
in doing which, he remarked, that 24 years had elapsed
since its formation, and never yet had its members for-
gotten the purposes for which it was called into existence
of uniting the agricultural interest in one common cause,
and conferring advantages as well upon the labourer as
upon the farmer and landlord. He would leave it to
those who represented the county to say whether the
association had not done its duty ; in his opinion, it had
done the utmost in its power to effect the object for
for which it was originated—the encouragement of good
conduct in the labourer, and the promotion of the in.
terests of agriculture generally. His late Majesty had
through himself (the Duke of Buckingham), been gra-
cious enough to patronise their association, and had by
a liberal contribution to its funds shown how greatly he
pp a• r eciated its labours. Patronised, therefore, by
Royalty, they had ever endeavoured, through storm and
through calm, to carry into effect those great principles
for the support of which the association was formed; and
if their objects had been mistaken through ignorance, or
misrepresented through wilfulness, they had at least the
consolation of knowing that, as far as they were con-
cerned, they had pursued one steady path, deviating nei-
ther to the right band nor to the left, but ever having in
view, as their great end and aim, the promotion of the
interests of agriculture. With that object in view, it
was most gratifying to him to behold the steady advance
which agriculture, as an art, or rather as a science, was
making throughout the whole of the country. There was
scarce a farmer whom ho had the honour of addressing
but, who must be sensible of the astonishing progress
which of late years had been made in the art of cultivat-
ing the ground, and with the extraordinary results
which had followed in every part of her Majesty's do.
minions. Nor were the benefits which arose therefrom
restricted to the farmer alone, or even to those connected
in any way, directly or indirectly, with the land.
(Cheers.) Every class participated in them, and the im-
provement in the cultivation of the land might be felt at
the loom or in the workshop of the crowded city.
(Cheers.) Fur those improvements they were indebted
greatly to the existence of such societies as the present,
and he therefore hoped never to see the day when they
would cease to exist in this country. Art, it was true,
had done much for them ; mechanism had effected
wonders, hut it was not those causes alone which could
insure them success ; but the energy, the perseverance,
and the enterprise of the farmers themselves, would en'
able teem to secure that reward which, if they
tSoso qualities, they had a right to expect and to possess.s.e
&limited
(Cheers.) Havieg paid much attention to qie. subject
he had witnessed the progress of the agriculturists of the

INEWSPAPEN"
country with the greatest interest, He had ae '14;41
most extraordinary changes introduced, new ins: Tee. e s application of new manures, new modes of cults et-Ae ee; -
brought into operation; in fine, be had seen the farm. ,= c.
England, and especially of Scotland, putting forth alt 4 sthe energy, and with a zeal, perseverance, and ability,
which allowed no difficulties to stand in their way, or .
prevent them from achieving the object which they had
at heart. (Loud cheers.) A glance at the farms them-
selves was quite sufficient to enable the most casual ob.
server to see the progress which had been made, and was
still making, in agriculture. Now machines were daily
pressing themselves on their notice, which enabled them to clear the fields of weeds, to cultivate the land, and
produce much larger crcps than it had heretofore borne.
In fact, the introduction of farm machinery had intro•
duced a revolution, the ultimate result of which it was
impossible at the present time to prognosticate. Already
they saw steam superseding, to some extent, the labour
of horses, and he hoped that before many years they
would see the smoke of the steam.plough issuing from
every farmstead in the country. As he had before said,
stehlefisOh aCCuspation of the farmer was not so engrossingly
many people would have them to suppose ; by
benefiting himself he benefited his country at large, and
as pure a patriotism reigned in his breast as in that of
the manufacturer or the merchant. (Cheers,) But so-
cieties of this kind were most usefal in bringing together
the landlord, the tenant farmer, and the labourer, and
uniting them in bond—not by the links of interest, but
affection. He rejoiced that these societies rewarded
faithful, hone: t labourers net by the small prize, which,
of itself, was, perhaps, of the least consequence, but by
the public recognition ef the value of the servant to his
employer. They this showed the world that there was
no contest between them and the labourer, but that they
were willing witnesses to their worth and integrity. God
forbid that they should ever see the day when the labour-
ere of the country should be forgotten by the tillers of
the soil. (Loud cheers.) It was not his province to en-
large upon these topics, but this he might say with re-
spect to thefarmers themselves, viz., that he was confident
that, by evincing energy, perseverance, and industry, the
English farmer would overcome all his difficulties. At the
same time, to enable him to accomplish this, he mustfollow
the example of others, taking advantage of every new aid
which could be placed before him. (Hear, hear.) He (the
noble duke) was proud of the position which he: occu-
pied as their chairman ; be felt deeply interested in the
success of agriculture and the promotion of the landed
interest. He hoped, if be lived a few years longer, to
see this noble society flourishing and increasing, still
following out the wise policy which had ever distin-
guished its action; doing everything in its power to im-
prove the cultivation of the land. (Cheers.)
Mr. Darlene—The noble chairman has introduced
to you vt bat he has most happily termed the principal
toast of the evening. We are all members of the society,
and are', therefore, all interested in its success. I, myself,
have a personal recollection of its formation, having as-
sisted in that event 24 years since, but it is not for that
reason that I venture to obtrude myself upon your atten-
tion. It is to me, as it must be to all, a source of great
satisfaction, that, at a period of considerable difficulty in
the fortunes of these societies, it has weathered the
storm through which they passed, and having been con.
ducted with so much wisdom and discretion, it has ar-
rived at a haven from which we can contemplate with
satisfaction and gratulation the prospects of a bright
future. It has been happily said that there is nothing
so difficult as a commencement. No doubt there is great
truth in that observation ; but allow me also to remark
that a recommencement is perhaps more difficult than
the commencement itself. After passing through many
years of success, and some of difficulty, the time had
arrived when we might have ceased to exist, but we re.
commenced, and, adapting ourselves to the new circum-
stances which surround us, have succeeded. (Cheers.)
We were called upon, I may say, to reform our consti•
tution, and we have reformed upon the only principle
upon which a successful and a secure reform can be ef.
fected, namely, by an adherence to the original principles
of our foundation. Whatever may be our future, we have
adapted ourselves to the principles of the present day,
while still keeping our original object in view, viz., the
promotion of one of the permanent interests and institu-
tions of the land. (Hear.) The Royal Bucks Agricul-
tural Association has advanced with an advancing age,
but we still recur to the principles of our original con•
stitution, to encourage the labourer and advance the
interests of agriculture ; and allow me to say that in no
other way can we more effectually advance the interests
of the country at large. We have very great reason to
congratulate ourselves on the progress of agriculture ;
for the last 24 years has accomplished almost the work
of a century of time. That period has been distinguished
by numerous inventions, and has given rise to institu.
tions some of which deserve the admiration, the respect,
and the sympathy of mankind in general. (Cheers.)
The health of the noble chairman having been drunk,
The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said that he had
been amply rewarded if, during the time he represented
them, he had given satisfaction, and avowed that he
should ever have the interest of agriculture at heart.
Mr. LOWNDES then, in a complimentary speech, pro-
posed the health of the " County Members,, coupling
with the toast the name of Mr. Disraeli.
Mr. DISRAELI, on rising, was received with loud cheers.
After regretting the absence of the lion. Mr. Caven-
dish and Mr. Dupre, the other county members, the
right hon, gentleman said I will not detain you by ex-
pressing upon the present occasion any hope that the
farmers of England will not cease in that course of
energy and enterprise which has already accomplished
such considerable results, and upon the exercise of which
alone depends their future prosperity. It is not for' me
to flatter you with respect to the amount ef ability yea:
may possess, nor is it for me to read you lectures 'on the
best mode of cultivating the soil, because many here
present know very well that when questions of that
kind aripe, ou which public affairs depend, it is for me
to consult you, and not to instruct you 'as to what must
necessarily happen. But although I know, as many of
you may know from experience, that the state of agri-
culture is ono that redounds to
te honour of this coun-
try, and, in my opinion, places the cultivators of the
soil in England beyond those of any other country,

to all the, maxims of prudence if we reposed upon the
present position of affairs and did not feel conscious
that it is individual exertion and aggregate enterprise
to which we can alone look forward for the maintenance
of English supremacy in this respect. (Cheers.) We can-
not conceal from ourselves that our soil is now subject to
unrostricte,l competition. The time has passed when we
can enter into any discussion as to the policy or impolicy
of such a state of affairs, but we should be madmen if we
shut our eyes to it, and did not resolve to meet it by the
only means by which it can be successfully encountered
and triumphantly vanquished, namely, by a continuance
of the energy and enterprise which for years have distin-
guished the efforts of the farmers of this country. The
British cultivator is favoured with a soil which, on the
whole, is a fax soil ; with a climate which, on the whole,
is'a favourable climate ; and, in addition, he has the
blessing- to live in a land where there is a just adminis-
tration of the law, and the enjoyment of a free constitu-
tion. Whatever may be the difficulties he may have to
encounter—whatever may be the burdens he may have
to beer, with these advantages, and with the spirit which
they animate and sustain, he has a right to hope and
believe tl at he can maintain the proud position which he
at present occupies. It is, however, only by being con-
scious not only of the advantages he possesses, but of
the difficulties which he has to meet, that be will prove
that be is equal to the occasion and to the age in
which
he lives. lam sure that the farmers of the county of
Bucltiughain will not go backward. lam convinced
that societies of this kind, administered in such a spirit
of wide impartiality, free from any ef the measures of
party and faction, as in this society, is admirably condo
cive to such a result. I therefore believe that Bucking-
hamshire will maintain its character. I believe that the
farmers of Buckinghamshire, by the exercise of their
skill, by the ardour with which they pursue their
efforts, by their resolution to have recourse to all legi-
timate means to stimulate and improve the cultivation
of the soil, will remain, as they have long remained,
foremost in their cla's ; and if that be the case, and if
these be my hopes, you may judge of the pride which
I feel, and of the spirit which, under all circumstances,
animates me when I remember that I have the honour to
represent you. (Cheers.)
