be quite indifferent to what is said and done in the
Reichsrath. The reconciliation between the Mag-
yars and South Slaves is said to be " perfect." Re-
cently several " ill-disposed" persons have been
arrested in the Voivodina, and at once transported
to the interior of the empire. II is related, that
Count Rechberg was in such a Ina humour yester-
day evening that none of his people dared to ap-

Great preparations are being made for the de-
fence of Venetia and the coast of Dalmatia, which
is much more likely to be attacked by Garibaldi
than Istria, which forms a part of the German
federal territory. Fiume belongs to the maritime
coast of Croatia, and consequently does not enjoy
the protection of the Bund. The Duke of Modena
is here said to have met with an enthusiastic recep-
tion at BassanQ, where his troops are encamped;
but Austrian military men have hinted to me that
the Modenese are kept at such a distance from the
frontier because many of them have displayed a
desire to join their fellow-countrymen on the other
side of the Po. Rear-Admiral von Poltl has been
here, and after having had an audience of the Em-
peror he left without delay for Trieste. The Aus-
trian ships of war are assembling at Lissa, where
there is a very large and secure harbour.

The weather to-day was ii marked contrast to the wet
and cold which signalised the proceedings on Tuesday. A
cold crisp morning was succeeded by a bright warm after-
noon, and the Heath presented a cheerful aspect. The
'racing on the whole was excellent, and although the fields
were not very strong, yet the "finishes" in several in.
stances (more than compensated for any deficiency in. that
respect.
difouravieff and The Rover virtually made a match of
the Eleventh Triennial, as neither May Morning nor St.
Clarence were in the race at some distance from home. The
set-to between the two firit mentioned ended, after a tre-
mendous race, in favour of Mouravieff, who won, after a
rare display of gameness. Folkestone and Ilesper's race
in the Granby was even more exciting than the open event,
and perhaps no two-year-old encounter was ever marked
by such an exhibition of gameness as that displayed by
Mr. Merry's colt. Some distance from home he ap-
peared quite beaten, but answering to every call of
his jockey, he stalled off the Duke of Bedford's youngster
by three-quarters of a length. The Wizard accom-
plished at Newmarket what he was expected to do at Don-
caster, for he won the St. Leger in a canter, coming away
when he chose, and winning literally in a trot, thereby
satisfying those persons who had previously insisted that
he was unable to " stay." The success of his stable
companion Cape Flyaway in the Twelfth Triennial Pro-
duce was almost as easily attained, as he landed Lord
Derby's colours without being extended. A dead heat
between The Greek and Pitman, formerly stable com-
panions, appropriately wound up a day's stirring racing.
Speculation on the Cesarewitch was throughout the day
a dead letter, the attention of bookmakers being confined to
the events immediately to be decided.

lhlot its his only
y
the second year of the existence of the
o rlhaveis now
thaton celebrating
made
amalgamated society. I heard with very great
pleasure that these societies had determined to
amalgamate their resources and their energies. I
had hoped it was on the whole for the advantage of
the county, and I am confident myself that that
amalgamation, founded as it was on sound princi-
ples, will, if we are determined to carry them out,
ultimately accomplish all- the most sanguine have
anticipated. But success will not be attained by
being blind to the real circumstances of the case.
Amalgamation is an admirable arrangement under
favourable circumstances, such as I thought were
those under which the amalgamation of the two
societies in this county took place ; but when you
amalgamate, you diminish rivalry, and if amalgama.
tion has virtues emulation can also produce wonders,
Emulation has always two strings to its bow; amal-
gamation, we flatter ourselves, has only one string--
has that string of a stouter character. I trust we shall
not be disappointed in the character of our amalga-
mation ; that we shall not have only one string to
our bow, and that not a bit stronger than that
which we had before. We must avoid that as much
as possible; and in the constitution of our society,
we must attempt to arrive at not merely the ad-
vantages of rivalry, but also the benefits of perma-
nence. Those were the objects we proposed to our-
selves in amalgamating the two societies. I am
sure there are in the room members of both the
original societies met together with only one ad-
mirable object, and they will not at all misconceive
the spirit of my observations. They are made with
a sincere desire to see the Royal Bucks Association
not only maintain, but increase its character in
public estimation. We can only do that by all of
us putting our shoulders to the wheel, and all
classes of our society must unite together, and by
that union of exertion we shall accomplish the
1
great object we have at heart. It becomes, then, I
think, the principal proprietors of this country, the
leading men among our tenant farmers, and all con-
nected with the various classes of our rural life, to
remember that it is only by union that societies of
this kind can be maintained—that the objects of
such societies are the most admirable that
can possibly propose themselves to a pro-
gressive and free people like the free people of
this country. (Cheers.) Allow me in reference
to the toast you have drunk, to say that it is
an honour to represent men who will carry out and
accomplish the objects this society has publicly de..
clared it is its intention to fulfil. I thank you most
sincerely for the honour you have done :me. To
possess your confidence and deserve your good feel-
ing is one of the greatest objects of my life, and at
all times it is to me a source of great gratification
to find myself with you ; and, on occasions like the
present, I am happy that while I am performing a
public duty I am also enjoying a private gratifica-
tion. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. BERNARD, M.P., also briefly responded; and
several other toasts, principally of a local character,
having been given, the proceedings terminated.

AYLESBURY, WEDNESDAY.
The annual meeting of the Royal Buckingham-
shire and Central Bucks United Agricultural Asso-
ciation was held in this town to-day, when, as
usual, there was an exhibition of stock, butter, and
agricultural implements. In the afternoon about
120 gentlemen sat down in the County-hall to a
dinner, supplied by Mr. Fowler, of the White
Hart. Mr. R. B. Harvey, in the absence of Lord
Chesham, occupied the chair ; and there were also
present the Right Hon. B. Disraeli, M.P., Mr. T.
T. Bernard, M.P., Mr. S. Smith, MP. Mr. G. C.
G. Pigott, Col. Smith Dorrien, the Rev. J. Wil-
liams, Mr. R. Rose, Mr. Acton Tindal, and the
principal tenant farmers of the district.
The usual toasts having been drunk,
The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the
"Army and Navy," coupled with the " Volunteers."
(Cheers) lie sincerely trusted that our troops might
long steer clear of the difficulties which now-beset
the southern nations of Europe ; but, if they should
ever be compelled to take the field again, he was
sure they would gain those laurels which they had
always sought and always acquired. (Cheers.)
With regard to the Volunteer movement, he was
happy to say that it had made great progress in the
town of Aylesbury, and he was satisfied that it
would have a permanent beneficial effect upon the
whole continent of Europe. (Cheers.)
Mr. PIGOTT, in responding, expressed a strong
opinion that the great mass of the French people
were anxious to maintain friendly relations with
this country. Indeed, a celebrated French writer,
who was well acquainted with England, had re-
cently warned his countrymen that if they thought
of going to war with Great Britain they had better
think twice upon it, as, in the first place, they
would have to encounter those old wooden walls,
which had lost nothing of their firmness and power;
in the second, they would have to meet an army-
which, if not so numerous as those upon the conti-
nent, was an army which whenever it was neces-
sary to fight had always conquered ; and in the
third, they would meet a nation in arms. (Cheers.)
It was said when the idea of the Volunteers was first
broached a few months ago, that a panic had seized
the country. There was, however, no panic at all.
We know of nothing of the kind in this country,
though, no do:ibt, there had been a just surprise and
indignation that we should be assured on the very
best authority that if 100,000 men were to land
upon the shores of the country they might march
from Lands'-end to John o'Groat's, without meet-
ing the slightest opposition. (Hear.) The whole
nation rose as one man, and said that such a state
of affairs should no longer continue, and the result
had been the magnificent body of Volunteers now
scattered throughout the country. (Cheers.)
Mr, A. TINDAL also responded on behalf of the
Volunteers.
The CHAIRMAN next gave the health of the
" Members for the county of Bucks and the borough
of Aylesbury." (Loud cheers.)
The Right Hon. Mr. DISRAELI, M.P., on•rising
to respond, was received with great cheering. He
said—l beg leave to return you, on the part of the
county members, our thanks for the kind manner
in which you have received the proposal to drink
their healths. Although my colleagues on this oc-
casion are absent, I know—at least lam convinced
—that their absence may be accounted for by cir-
cumstances which rendered it impossible for them
to be present. I can, however, truly say what I am
sure they must always feel that there are no occa-
sions when their presence could be more agreeable
to themselves than on occasions like that which has
brought us together to-day. And, gentlemen, I can
assure you most unfeignedly that after all the
labours of public life, in which through your con-
fidence, and through your confidence alone, I and
my colleagues take some part, it is a very great de-
light to find ourselves among our friends and neigh-
bours again, and among our friends and neighbours
whom we have known and honoured for so many
years, from whom we have received so many repeated
proofs of good feeling and trust, and whose good opi-
nion it is the principal object of our life ever to retain.
(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I am more pleased to meet you
when I remember the occasion and the circum-
stances which bring us together. We are met to
support with our presence and our sympathetic
feeling ono of those societies which, in my opinion,
exercise so beneficial a result upon the general feel-
ing and conduct of all classes connected with agri-
culture. It is no longer necessary to rise and vindi-
cate the design and the management of these agri-
cultural associations. They have become, if not for-
mally and legally, in spirit and in truth, part of the
institutions of the country, and all classes and all
parties combine in acknowledging the advantageous
consequences which they exercise upon the general
life and pursuits of this country. When this society
was first formed—and I took a particular interest
in its formation, for I was one of its original mem-
bers—it. limited itself merely to the recognition of
the virtues of the humblest classes connected with
English agriculture ; in recognising and rewarding
the merits of those who by their service and their
skill in husbandry had deserved that recognition on
the part of their neighbours. That was a most laud-
able, but in a certain sense it was a limited object ;
but that object, limited as it was, was for a consi-
derable period viewed by some persons with cold-
ness, and even occasionally with derision ; but all
that has passed. It has passed because every man
connected with rural life has long arrived at a con-
viction that these associations, even with that limited
object, have done much good—that they have ele-
vated the tone of this country with the labour of
the land, and that they have brought about a result
which those connected with the labour of the land
have shown they highly appreciate. (Hear, hear.)
Every one knows that those rewards which have
been described as not commensurate with the merits
they recognise, are rewards which are eagerly
sought and are highly appreciated by those who re-
ceive them, and there never was a greater mistake
than to suppose that the labourers on land ever be-
lieved for a moment that their merits were valued
by the mere pecuniary amount they received. They
have always sought these rewards, and have always
cherished them because they looked upon them as a
public recognition of their privatevirtues. (Cheers.)•
I could give you, if necessary, many instances to
prove the truth of this assertion ; but there is one
which I will touch upon very briefly, because it oc-
curred only this morning, and is to me quite a con-
vincing proof of the position I wish to enforce. It
is the case of a man who, having worked on a farm
for 45 years, in the same service, with, I need not
say, the respect of all those acquainted with him,
had several times been requested to advance his
claim for those favours which, by the regulations of
this society, he was entitled to, but which he has re-
peatedly said he would not come forward to claim
until he had completed his 50th year of service.
That shows that in the mind of this man it was not
the pecuniary reward but the public recognition of
his long-enduring private iirtues which he sought
and which he valued. (Hear, hear.) These, though
ever laudable, were the limited objects of the society
when it was first formed. As time has advanced,
in obedience to that law of development and pro.
gress without which no society and no institution
can long exist, we have found it necessary to increase
the area of our exertions, and to aim at other and
more extensive objects than those we originally
proposed. So in time we have found it advisable to
appeal to that spirit of competition and emulation
which pervades all classes, and to ask not merely the
peasants and labourers on land to exert themselves
to obtain the recognition of their superior qualities,
but the farmer and the landed proprietor also to
prove their skill and their anxiety to obtain a public
recognition of their attempts to advance the public
welfare. By this course we are now the means by
which rewards are offered to those who produce
crops of the best roots, and who exhibit most supe-
rior stock. These are great and important objects
of which we ought not to lose sight, and the Royal
Bucks Agricultural Association, the anniversary of
which we have met here to observe, has aimed at,
and I hope will continue to accomplish, those o
jects. (Cheers.) At the same time
should not
myself be speaking with that frankness wi▪ th which
a__ll
you always permit me to address yo. u upon
occasions if I were to say, as is sometimes said at
'similar meetings, that I have been a your show-
yard to-day, and was struck with amazement and
wonder at what I have witnessed. I did see
some things there which do our friends great credit,
but I did not see enough of good things, and I think
it of very great importance, when we di▪
ne after
these exhibitions, and sum up our. experience, that
we should not shut our eyes to wnat is the truth of
what has occurred, because it is by annually taking
stock of our progress, as it were, that we may re-
gulate our exertions for the coming year. (Hear.)
Gentlemen, I did not see with respect to horned
cattle, or even sheep, that promise fulfilled which
last year was even so prominently made, and though
it may be accounted for to some extent by the un-
fortunate weather which has occurred at the period
of our union, preventing some of our best friends
from exhibiting, still we must never for a moment
forget that it is by progress, by constant efforts at
excellence, that §ocietie§ like the present can, alone

SEPT. 23.
The discussion relative to the future organization
of the empire made but little progress yesterday,
but the Reichsrath, on the proposition of Count
Clam, unanimously resolved to insert the subjoined
passage in its report to the Emperor :
" In consideration of the fact that in the management of
the press in general, and of the periodical press in particular,
administrative (police) measures and judicial functions
(Funktionen) so interfere with each other that there is no
well-defined (si Mere) line of demarcation between legal in-
tervention and arbitrary proceedings, and in consideration
of the unpleasantness arising from the want of a well-
secured legal basis for the press, which must indirectly have
an unfavourable influence on the public welfare, it becomes
evident that a speedy regulation of the affairs of the press
in the sense of lawful freedom of action, is an absolute
(unabweisbar) necessity."

AGRICUL7TIRAL* PROSPECTS.

-Nr-- --
very unfavourable change in the weather took
place at the commencement of the week, much rain
having fallen from 1 p.m. on the first day and
throughout the afternoon. The following morning
was also showery, putting a complete stop to har-
vest work wherever it extended. On Tuesday there
was rain up to noon, and another stoppage caused.
We will still allow our friends to speak for them-
selves. On that day, from Liverpool, they re-
ported :—" The weather last week up to Saturday
was favourable for harvest work ; since then, how-
ever, we have had incessant rains, with a close at-
mosphere, likely to be injurious to the wheat al-
ready cut and in the fields, which forms the chief
portion of the present crops. To-day the weather
has become fine again." From Hull, the same day,
it was stated :—" The weather up to the 15th was
fine, with high, drying winds, which were very
favourable for harvest operations, but owing to the
crops being cut unusually green this season not
much corn has been secured in this locality. Since
Saturday we have had heavy rain, which must
again cause damage and great delay in harvesting.
From Suffolk, the same day, our friends said,
" Until Saturday evening fine weather continued
without interruption, and considerable breadth ofoudr

From the west coast the same day it was stated :--.

and 'tmp, with occasional light rain since Satur-

From Norfolk the same day it was said :—" Since
Saturday last a deal of rain has fallen, and the
residue of the harvest is quite at a standstill. The
wheat crop, however, may be said to be secured ;
but there is a large quantity of barley abroad. To-
day is fine." From Cornwall advices indicate that
the harvest in that county is finished. Wheat there,
with a good bulk of straw, will be found in many
cases deficient in yield, as the sample is small and
shrivelled. There may be some exception, but in
general it is in bad condition, being saved in the
wet and unsettled weather. " The barley was
ripe and saved in the fortnight of fine weather
which we had, and is in good condition, the best
sample we have had for several years, and a full
average crop. Oats are not largely sown here, but
more than usual this year, and a large crop."

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—WEDNESDAY.
Tho amount of business done was neither so spirited nor
of that important character that might have been expected
on the day that the acceptances for the Cesarewitch and
Cambridgeshire Stakes were made public. The number
accepting for the Cesarewitch is rather less than was anti-
cipated. 20 to 1 was offered on the field, but we saw
nothing less than 25 to 1 booked against any horse : that
price was taken about Conscript, Optimist, Golden Pippin,
and Weatherbound.—For the Cambridgeshire, 20 to 1 was
offered on the field, and there was an offer to take 25 to 1
about Sutton, without being responded to. Tho quotations
will best indicate the business done. Closing prices :

FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT ON TILE RIVER CLYDE.
—On Monday an accident occurred on the river, through
the mismanagement of a skiff, which has ended fatally.
Henry O'Neil, moulder, Bridgegate, and his companion,
'Barney Malone, hired each a skiff from Mr. M'Whirter's
Aquatic Saloon, about mid-day. They proceeded all right
until, when nearly opposite to the Round Seat, O'Neil
missed a stroke with his oar, which caused his frail bark to
upset. His companion, dumbfoundered, instead of going
to his rescue, pulled into shore, leaving him to his fate.
Mr. George Geddes was quickly upon the spot, and had the
man taken out, but not before ho had been about eight
minutes in the water. He was taken to the Humane
Society's-house, and there Drs. Burns and M'lntyre did
all that they could to restore animation, but their utmost
efforts were unavailing. He has left a mother to lament
tier loss, ho having been her only support. —North British
Daily Mail.

Amy Robsart made play until within a short distance
from home, when Mousetrap took up tho running and won

tween the second and third.

Kbd-el-Kader has addressed the follower letter
to a French gentleman, who had written some verses in
praise of the heroic conduct of the Emir at Damascus :
I have received your kind letter, in which you eulogise
me for the protection which I was enabled to afford to the
poor Christians in this city. Your charming poetry which
you sent at the same time has also reached me. -What I
have done has no great merit, for I did it from three great
motives, which imposed it on me as a sacred duty—first,
it was because God ordered me to act as I did ; secondly,
it was because humanity requirod it; and thirdly, because
France, which was' so kind to me is Christian—and I
thus had an opportunity of rendering all the assistance
in my power to her co-religionists. I am on the one hand
very happy-at the little I was able to do on this occasion;
and, on the other, very sorry at not having been able io
prevent all the horrors which unfortunately took place in
this city. God so willed it; let His Holy will In donee_
