HIGHLAND AND AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND.

ABERDEEN, Thursday Night.
The proceedings in connexion with the present
year's show of the Highland and Agricultural
Society of Scotland terminated here this afternoon.
The weather throughout the whole three days oft he
meeting having been most inviting for outdoor re-
creation, the attendance of spectators has been un-
usually great. Yesterday alone the admission
money amounted to £BOO, while the total takings
at the doors approach well on to £l,soo—a sum
about sufficient to pay all the society's expenses
connected with the Exhibition.

A ball in the Music-hall last night was attended
by the elite of the stranger members of the society
and the residents of the city and northern counties

A considerable amount of business was done by
the exhibitors of implements, but the number of
stock which exchanged hands was not large. The
special committee appointed to examine the imple-
ments have selected some sixty articles from the
immense collection on the ground, with a view of
practically testing their merits ; a double furrow
plough, the invention of Messrs. Pirie, a local firm,
said to do its work admirably with one pair of
korses, attracted a great deal of attention from
machine makers and agriculturists. The arrange-
ments of Mr. Menzies, secretary of the society, and
the local secretaries, Messrs. Ligert, Wood, and
Yeats, have been very complete, and afforded ge-
neral satisfaction.

BIRHINGHAiII CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

The half-yearly meeting of this body was held
yesterday afternoon. The following are extracts
from the report. As to the County Courts Amend-
ment Act :

4, Your Council during the past half-year received
a letter signed by more than 50 manufacturers,
merchants, and factors, requesting efforts to be
made to obtain a change in the above law, which
at present renders it necessary to sue a debtor in
the County Court of the district where he resides,
thus placing the plaintiff in an unfavourable position•
Should this change, after experience has fully shown
the working of the Act, still seem desirable, your
Council will renew efforts to get an alteration Of
the law in this respect, and the- next Session of
Parliament may be expected to be more able to give
attention to:commercial questions than the present
has been.

In relation to " Trades Unions and Strikes," it
was said :

"It is impossible to deny the right of working
men to combine for their own just interest. The
part of wisdom is to do all that can be done by per"
suasion and enlightenment to induce trade unions
to keep their action within the limits of fairness and
justice, as the only conduct that can be permanently
successful. Your council considered that the stone:
masons' strike in this town, which began in April
last and unfortunately still continues, was a proper
occasion to try if any good could be done towards
effecting a settlement between employers and their
workmen by conciliation. In order to offer a
Board of Conciliation that should be as
unexceptionable as possible to the workmen
49 well as the masters, your Council ar-
ranged with the Trades' Council of this towe
that three deputies from their body should jou'
with three members of your Council in offering
themselves as a Joint Committee of Conciliation
between the parties in difference. The stonemasons
on strike and the master builders were invited each
to send three deputies to meet this joint committee
in the council-room of your chamber. This offer
was readily accepted. Some meetings were held,
your Council regret to say without success hitherto,
but as these meetings may possibly be renewed,
your Council abstain from further statement. This
attempt was the more readily made by your Couo'
cil from the hope that it might open up the waYWii
some permanent Council of Conciliation to which
employers and their workmen might aPPIi
in their differences before resorting to actual
hostility." In a subsequent paragraph, after the,
advantages that would arise from an International
Monetary Union were pointed out, and as to the
purchase of the telegraph system by the Govero-
tnent, this report said—" This will be a most n:,
portant change, and one from which your Con
expect great advantage in regularity of working
and greater extension of telegraphic facilities to 81_
parts of the country. Your Council would also
_
hope that important reductions in charge will 131.:
made, but they cannot help avoid expressing
opinion that the sum now proposed to buy out tie
rights and properties of the present companie3
unfairly large, and it is likely that the interest o
this sum will prevent an early reduction to the log' 0
rates for telegraphing that under the Post-office
management would probably have otherwise soon

proved to he sufficient.
Finally, in relation to the condition of trade vce
"Your Council greatly regret that they are uoilb f
to record any notable improvement in the trade
the town or country. If periods of contraction 313130
depression of trade are, as they believe, but to
natural and necessary consequences of danger°
expansion and over speculation, which are allygnio
n
found to precede them, then we should expect' A"e,
looking back, to find that the long-continued 'bit
pression which we still suffer from was prececled„a
an equally great period of high speculation.
probably the memories of all men of business "•,-0.
lead them to pronounce that we are but now atttio
taming to a balance. If we would take win-
from the past, and avoid these trying times (4. ospression in future, we must prevent the prey°
expression which causes them."
After some discussion the report was adopted'
