FARINA'S ESSENCE OF MEDICINAL
HERBS.

The above is the title of a new Preparation, which has been lately
brought to perfection at the celebrated Eau de Cologne Distillery of
John Maria Farina, 23, Rhine-street, Cologne, and which has already
attained an extraordinary repute ; the Faculty having universally
recommended its use, and it being now generally adopted in all
parts of Germany.
Its qualities are manifold :—as a medicine it operates as a strength-
ener of the digestive organs ; is an excellent specific in eases of liver
complaints and bilious attacks ; induces an appetite either in robust
or sickly constitutions ; is a certain remedy in cases of indigestion ;
and a never-failing cure for wounds and bruises : it allays the pain
of toothache, purifies the skin from eruptions, and is a certain pre-
ventive of all cutaneous disorders. As a disinfectant it is infinitely
more efficient than Chloride of Soda ; and, when diluted with water,
It forms a delightful wash for the face and hands, imparting a Clear
and healthy bloom to the complexion.
It consists of an extract of various medicinal herbs, mixed with the
purest spirits of wine. It posSesses a pleasant taste and a delightful
perfume ; and forms an elegant appendage to the toilet.
Price per box (containing Three bottles) 65., or a box of Six bot-
tles, 10s. 6d. Each bottle will be wrapped in a paper fully descriptive
of its many excellent qualities.
To avoid imposition, application must be made to Messrs. Voelcker

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SO-
CIETY OF ENGLAND.

SOUTHAMPTON, 'TUESDAY EVENING.—The proceedings of
the Society at this place commenced this morning with the
exhibition of implements, the number of which was greater
than on any former occasion. The present exhibition is not,
however, so much distinguished for novelty, in this respect,
as for the decided improvements which have been made on
former inventions. This being the case, it might perhaps be
invidious to particularise; and we shall, therefore, content
ourselves with subjoining a list of the prizes, and proceed at
:once.to describe the trial of the implements, which was de-
cidedly the most interesting feature in the day's proceedings.
We should, however, premise that, although not yet so full
as had been expected, there have been many distinguished
arrivals at Southampton.. The Duke of Cambridge will ar-
rive to-marrow, and be received by the Mayor and Corpora-
tion with all.the honours due to a Prince of the Blood Royal.

of Beaufort, the Marquis Conyngham, Earl Dude, Earl
Spencer, Lord and Lady Palmerston, and a number of other
fashionables arrived this morning, but the great influx of
company is expected to-morrow, when I will send you a more
specific account of the arrivals.

EXHIBITION OF THE WORKING OF THE IMPLEMENTS.
This was the •most interesting portion of the day's pro-
ceeding, And attracted universal attention. The time fixed
for. the public ..trial. of the agricultural implements to take
place :Was twelve o'clock. For some hours previous to that
time the road leading from Southampton to the trial ground
was thronged with vehicles of every description, conveying
the interested and curious to the appointed place, distant
about four miles from Southampton, on the farm of Mr. C.
Caters at. Swathling.. Many thousand persons were on the
ground, consisting of the agriculturists of Hampshire and the
adjoining counties, as well as of numbers from the extreme
western counties. The Queen, Brunswick, and two other
steamers arrived in the morning from Plymouth and Corn-
wall, full of passengers. All the steamers from the Isle of
Wight-were also full, notwithstanding many persons were
prevented from coming in consequence of the races. Among
the parties on the ground we noticed most of the noblemen
and gentlemen whose names we have already given, and the
landed proprietors of the county. The test trials to deter-
mine the merits of the several implements took place yester-
day and Saturday, but were strictly private, the public not
being allowed to approach nearer than the outside of the
fields in whickthe implements were tried. These trials were
conducted with great care and fairness, and even the exhibi-
tions of the various implements were confined to the attend-
ance upon their own implements, and were not allowed to
inspect the working of the others.
The judges were Messrs. Outhwaite, of Cathrick, York-
shire, and another gentleman, who conducted the proceedings
Most impartially, and in a manner which gave general satis-
faction. The implements selected for the public exhibition
of their working,. were those previously selected for compe-
tition before the judges in the private trials, which had occu-
pied the two previous days—those adapted for light land, at
Mr. Cater's farm, at Swathling ; and those adapted for heavy
land, at Mr. Spooner's, at Eling. The field selected for the
public trial to-day is a level one of considerable extent, ad-
joining the railway, apd is a clover ley. The ground was
not in good order for working, in consequence of its being un-
usually hard from the long drought. Precisely at twelve
o'clock the ploughing match commenced. There were six-
teen ploughs started, among which were two specimens of
American ploughs, presented by Professor Col. The con-
trast between the working of these transatlantic ploughs and
the English ones was most striking, and was the most per-
fectpractiCal refutation of, the self-congratulating remarks of
Daniel Webiter, wlio, on his return from England, stated
that 'he had not seen any implements in England worthy of
comparison With those of America. We particularly ex-
an'iltied 'the work of these plOitghs, and, compared with the
level and accurate furrOWs made by the English plough, which
appeared as though cut out by a plane, were coarse, rough,
and irregular.
The work of the competing plough, with the two excep-
tions we have alluded to, was generally good, especially so,
considering the state of the soil. One of the ploughs was a
new implement made by Messrs. J. R. and A. Ransome, of
Ipswich, and was in consequence of having a moveable nose-
piece, which adjusted the pitch of the share either to take
more or less hold of the ground or literally to give it an in-
clination more or less towards the land. This plough won
the prize of 10/. and a silver medal, in competing with the
others as a heavy land plough ; and also won the prize of 10/.
and a silver medal, in its competitiou on the light land.
Another of the ploughs was also a new instrument, by the
same exhibitors, the ,peculiar feature of which is, that the
mould board of this plough is adapted for turning furrows
four and a half inches deep, and nine inches wide, so as
to leave the angle of the furrow-slice precisely at forty-
five degrees.
There was another and a strong plough, by the same
exhibitors, fitted for deep ploughing in tenacious land.
Mr. Lowcock's patent plough for laying furrows all in one
direction, and which was awarded a prize Of 5/., was another
of the competitors.
An iron two-wheel pulverizing plough, invented by Wil-
liam Mason, ,constructed -for a light soil with the mould •
board- made to jet wider or narrower as required, and
pulverizing knives attached for breaking up old pas-
tures, stony soils, or land that required, harrowing and
bringing to a finer tilth, was one of the ploughs tried, and
the remaining others were
A One-wheel or sowing plough, by Messrs. Taskor and
Fowle, of Waterloo Iron;works, Andover, which may be used
With or without the skim coulter.
An iron sowing plough, by. the Earl of Ducie, which oti--
tained 5/. at the Royal Agricultural Society's meeting at
Bristol.

A two-wheel wrought-iron plough, with patent coulter, by
Messrs. Saunders, Williams, and Taylor, of Bedford, which is
fitted for wheel or swing plough, and is worked by two or
four horses.
A one-wheel plough, by Mr. Hugh Carson, of Warminster,
suited for-light lands.
A patent iron plough for sand and other light land. It is
made principally of wrought iron.
An iron plough, trussed beam, and steel breast, invented by
Itansothe, and manufactured by Messrs. Sims and Brown, of
Tollard Royal, Dorsetshire.
A one- wheel plough, invented by the exhibitors, Messrs.
Barratt, Exhall, and Andrews, of Reading, which is filled
with an open turn furrow for ploughing loamy and other ad-
hesive soils, as it breaks the lower part of the furrow, and
thus admits the air. This plough is extremely light, and
has very great ease of draught.
Immediately after the termination of the ploughing match,
the other implements, consisting of drills, harrows, clod-
crushers, and numerous other articles, were tried in an ad-
joining field, all of which seemed to excite general attention.
Throughout the day the trains continued to bring in a
great number of cattle for the show on Thursday, as the
exhibition of stock will be the next great point of attraction.
The Council dinner will take place to-morrow.

ROYAL SOUTH LONDON FLORI-
CULTURAL SOCIETY.

Tuesday the Royal South London Floricultural Society
held their second grand miscellaneous show at the Surrey
Zoological Gardens, on which occasion the display of fruit,
flowers, and vegetables was on a scale of unusual magnitude
and excellence. There vi ere numerous tents and extensive
marquees arranged in various parts of these beautiful
grounds, in which the splendid specimens offered for corn-
petition were placed. No fewer than seventy-four prizes were
offered and awarded, consisting of gold and silver medals, a
silver cup, &c., in addition to various sums of money. These
prizes were awarded early in the day, before the public were
admitted ; and the following are the names of the successful
candidates :—The first class consisted of amateurs, members
only ; and those who carried off prizes for the piccotees,
carnations, heartsease, &c., were Messrs. Edmonds (gold
medal), Procter, jun., G. Leach, R. Headly, Trevers, jun.,
J. Hunt, W. Hall, J. Edwards, Schroder, F. B. Garty, and
S. J. Cox, and the Rev. A. H. Matthews. The prizes to the
second class (gentlemen's gardeners, entering in their own
names), for flowers, fruit, and vegetables, were given to
Messrs. Atlee (gold medal), Hemp, Ilatterton, A. Parsons,
J. Bruce, C. Embleton, Welsh, and Parsons. The third
class consisted of specimens sent in by nurserymen, market-
gardeners, and florists, The- gold medal was awarded
to Mr. Jackson, and the various Silver ones to Messrs.
Fairbairn, Bushell, Jackson, Paul, Willmer, Norman,
Bates, Keynes, Brown, Bursill, H. Chapman, J. Gains,
and Flicker. Other prizes, open to all classes, were given to
the Rev. A. H: Matthews and Messrs. Plant, Dan, Schroder,
Bruce, Chuchill, Lyred, and Norman. The silver cup, value
5/. 55., offered by Mr. John Dickson, for the best twelve
white-ground piccotees, dissimilar blooms, was won by Mr.
Barnard ; and the 5/. given by Mr. James Coppock, for the
best collection of miscellaneous plants in the gardens, was
awarded to Mr. J. Bruce. Mr. Turner was the successful
competitor for the Linnrean medal, for the best collection of
cut indigenous plants in flower. The above enumeration
will give an idea of the extent of the prizes bestowed under
the auspices of this Society; and many of the persons men-
tioned gained more than one medal, some several. The
flower-show was allowed on every hand to equal all, and to
surpass many former exhibitions, and the fruit was likewise
remarkably fine. The vegetables, too, deserve high, praise.
There were some magnificent specimens, especially of cucum-
bers, some of which were of enormous size. The Duke of
Cambridge, and the Prince of Mecklenburgh Strelitz visited
the Gardens early in the morning, and were highly gratified
with the exhibition. The company was extremely numerous
throughout the day, and towards evening the extensive
grounds were completely thronged. The attraction was truly
sufficiently powerful, for, in addition to the splendid exhibi-
tion of the day, and the usual promenade concerts, the
colossal 'representation of London in the olden time, and the
great fire thereof, there was displayed (for the first time) the
beautiful and highly interesting model of Venice, which is so
well known, and has become so celebrated for its perfect and
elaborate workmanship, which shows every palace, church,
and even house, in that city of the waters. This great addi-
tional attraction to the Gardens will continue to be exhibited
throughout the season. The amusements were not concluded
until a late hour of the evening.

THE EARL of MANSFIELD'S FETE
CHAMPETRE' at CAEN WOOD.
The Earl of Mansfield gave a fete champetre, on Tuesday
afternoon, at his Lordship's seat at Caen Wood, Hampstead,
which was honoured by the presence of their Royal High-
nesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Duchess of Glou-
cester, and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of
Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and above seven hundred of the lead-
ing aristocracy.
The preparations for the fete had been in progress during
the whole of last week, for it was necessary that a spacious
temporary structure, sufficiently large to accommodate the
numerous circle invited, should be erected. The weather
was most propitiotis, and crowds of respectably-dressed per-
sons congregated on the heath and at the lodge-gates, to
witness the arrival of the severAmembers of the Royal Fkmily
and the noble visiPers; a strong body of the police being sta-
tioned at different points of the road to preserve order, and to
remedy any confusion that might arise from the number of
carriages which would, of necessity, collect in the immediate
vicinity of the house.
At half-past three the carriages began to set down com-
pany, and for two hours and a half there was a constant
—.e Th WE'r.ry
attractive those of the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort.
Earl and Countess of Powis, Marchioness of Ailesbury, Earl
and Countess of Beverley, Earl and Countess of Eldon,
Countess Brownlow, Lord Foley, &c., demanding more espe-
cial mention.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, accom-
panied by the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess
of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and attended by Baron Knese-
beck, was first to arrive, the royal carriage entering the ap-
proach to the mansion at ten minutes past five, preceded by
outriders in their scarlet liveries. The Earl of Mansfield was
at the entrance to receive the royal guests as they alighted
from the carriage, and the Dowager Countess of Mansfield
had advanced to the lobby to greet the illustrious visitors as
they arrived.
The royal party were forthwith conducted through the
suite of saloons to the library, where many of the leading
company had met to offer their congratulations. Her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Gloucester came shortly after, her
royal brother the Duke of Cambridge bearing her Royal
Highness company. Lady Caroline Murray and the Hon.
Captain Liddell were in waiting on the Duchess. As those
respected members of the Royal Family descended from their
carnage, the Dowager Countess of Mansfield, having been
timely informed of the royal approach, received them, the
Duchess of Gloucester and her Ladyship exchanging an affec-
tionate salutation, when their Royal Highnesses were ushered
to the library.
The suite of drawing-rooms, with the music-room, corn-'
prising seven elegant apartments, were all opened for the re-
ception.
The Duke of Wellington was among the visitors, the
Noble and Gallant Duke arriving shortly after the Royal
Family. As his Grace entered the lodge gates he was warmly
Cheered by the assemblage of persons mustered there from
curiosity:
Their Royal llighnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam-
bridge, Duchess of Gloucester, and the Hereditary Grand
Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, with the
Earl of Mansfield and Dowager Countess of Mansfield, pre-
vious to dinner being announced, promenaded the terrace
and went through the flower gardens, all laid out in the pure'
English style, and'with which the royal visitors were much
gratified.
The company dined at seven. There were at the table her,
Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, whe sat on the
right of the Earl of Mansfield; the Duchess of Cambridge
sitting on the left of the noble host, with the Duke of Wel-
lington sitting on her Royal Highness's right hand
eis-a-ris sat the Dowager Countess of Mansfield, with the
Duke of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess of Mecklenbargh Strelitz. In addition we,
observed the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, his Excellency
Baron Nieumann, Marquis of Salisbury, his Excellency M.
Dedel, Marchioness of Ailesbury, Marquis and Marchioness
of Ahercorn, Marchioness of Londonderry, Earl and Countess
of Jersey, Earl and Countess ,of Westmoreland, Earl Dela-
warr, Baroness Brunow, &c. Covers were laid for upwards
of thirty.
We now come to the grand feature of the fete, the enor-
mous marquee at the eastern extremity Of the terrace lawn.
It was a wonderful structure, about 150 feet long by 50 feet
wide, the dome in the centre rising to the height of 50 feet.
The interior was lined with scarlet and white draperies, fes-
tooned all round, confined by rosettes of the same colours.
Suspended from the roof were some 60 chandeliers, which
were of course lighted up at dusk, contributing to render
the interior a gorgeous spectacle. The exterior was sur-
mounted by several minarets, from which floated banderols.
It was boarded throughout, for it must be understood that
it was subsequently to be converted into a salon de danse,
and three tables, extending the whole length of the marquee,
were arranged for the sumptuous fare. Above 600 persons
sat -down to dinner at the same time, so the magnitude of the
marquee may be imagined.
It was shortly before eight when the dinner party in the
tent retired, and the grounds were promenaded by the ma-
jority of the visitors. At dusk the grounds were illuminated
by more than 15,000 variegated lamps. The parterres of
the flower gardens were bordered with coloured lamps, and
in the trees various coloured. lamps were suspended resem-
bling artificial fruit.
Her .Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and the
Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess retired about
eight o'clock to go to the Italian Opera.
-Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge and
Duchess of Gloucester remained to a' more advanced hour.

There was a superb display of. fireworks at nine o'clock on
the verdant lawn, at the.verge of the lake, :which lasted
nearly an hour. . .
Dancing was-kept up • with untiring zeal until after
midnight.

Wheat reaping will commence in this neighbour-
hood in the next week. During the last few days a
great change has taken place, and a few more warm
days will render the greater part of the wheat on the
chalk hills fit for the sickle.—Hants 7'elegraph.
The wounded men from the army of Gwalior dis-
embarked from the ship Windsor, on the morning of the
22d instant, and proceeded forthwith to Chatham, in medical
charge of Surgeon Wood, 9th Royal Lancers, and Assistant-
surgeon Mapleton, her' Majestf,s 40th Foot; who were
selected at Gwalior for this arduous duty. It would appear
that the result has been most satisfactory, only one casualty
having occurred amongst those brave fellows on the voyage.
It is gratifying to learn, too, the very great kindness and
attention that were evinced towards the wounded by the
authorities in India, in proof of which we need only mention,
that the Governor-General himself visited and comforted
them in the field of battle, and repeatedly in their respective
hospitals, and subsequently, when at Calcutta, he personally
superintended the arrangements that were being made for
their embarkation.

It &IL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
INCREASE OF RAILWAY TRAFFIC.
The following is the increase on the traffic returns for the
half-year ending June 30, 1844, as compared with those for
the same period last year :
Birmingham and Derby
Birmingham and Gloucester... 1,094
Chester and Birkenhead ..... . .. 1,294
Edinburgh and Glasgow •
Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr 7,737
Grand Junction
Great North of England
Greitt Western

Liverpool and Manchester
London and Birmingham.... 18,026
London and Brighton '
London and South-Western 8,513
_ ___

Manchester and Birmingham 10,349
Manchester, Bolton, and Bury
Manchester and Leeds 18,347
Midland Counties .
North Midland ... 11,591
North Union 7,208
Sheffield and Manchester
Ulster..
York and North Midland 2,287
Total increase for the half-year, on the above 21 railways,
196,322/.
The large increase in the Great Western traffic is partially
accounted for by the opening of twenty-two additional miles
of the line within the last six months; but even taking this
fact into consideration, the addition to the previous income
of the company is still very considerable. The most remark-
able advance, having reference of course to the length of the
line, only fifty miles, is presented, however, by the Man-
chester and Leeds nailway ; and the two weeks which have
elapsed since the above return was made up go to prove that
the income of the company is still rapidly tending upwards..
The receipts for the week ending July 6 were 7,493/., against
6,222/. in the same week of last year, and those for July 13
were 7,9011. against 6,2751. in the corresponding week 0f1843,
a ratio of improvement which leaves every other railway far
in the rear. We allude to these circumstances because the
position of the Manchester and Leeds line, and the system
on which it has been managed, are peculiar. Third-class
carriages, at extremely low fares, have been employed upon
it to a greater extent than on any other railway in the king-
dom ; and it 'is gratifying to find that the great share of
public accommodation thus afforded has resulted in a large
measure of prosperity to the company.

THE LONDON WEATHER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—Since my last, many changes have occurred in the
weather, as the provincial and the foreign papers will attest;
but still there is an extraordinary influence prevailing, as the
thermometer presents. There have been the same circuitous
currents, arising from the south-west or north-east, crossing
each other at different altitudes, and subsiding with storms;
but this has continued so long;that we are led to think of'
some unusual planetary influence is prevailing against the
ordinary course.
This day the thermometer stood' in the sun, south aspect,
109 deg. When placed, at 4 o'clock, upon wood, in opposi-
tion to its rays, the spirit reached 121 deg., whilst the other,
which was longitudinal, was only 102 deg. The shade ther-
mometer indicated, in the sheltered position, 84 deg. 5 min. ;
and the most extraordinary indication was the heat of last
night, which `vas not, less than 63 deg., being 8 deg. above
temperate heat, being a very unusual heat in the night, even
in eastern nations.
Seven o'Clock.—There are now signs
•of wind, from the at-
tenuated state of the atmosphere, and there will be, probably,
a storm of thunder, from the currents of electric fluid which
has been generated.
I remain, Sir, your subscriber, H. P.

AGRICULTURAL. LABOURERS, &c
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Since I wrote yesterday I have seen a farmer, who paid,
before the commutation of tithes took place, 28/., and who had
paid since for the-same land 42/. ; that is, you see, 50 per centl
Here are twamore clauses from the agreementd referred to,
having relation to game. Ask yourself how a man, who IS
subject to the clauses already sent you, accompanied by these
and others like them, can afford to do anything with his
labourers but grind them.
Once a man consents, and has signed an agreement like
this, he is degraded in his own eyes ; and I know several who,
have signed them, but are unwilling to own it.
But all these things brings the one fact into operation--;
making single men work for less than the married ones, and
unquenchable heart-burnings as the result :
" That the said , his executors, administrators, or
assigns, shall not without the permission in writing of the
said —, bis heirs, or assigns, shoot, course, net, fish, or
otherwise sport or destroy game, fish, or wild fowl, on the(
said premises; nor give leave to any other person or person
i
so to do ; but shall from time to time, and at all times, at th
request of the said , his heirs, or assigns, sign notice
discharging persons from doing so, or from otherwise tres
passing on the said premises; and shall permit his name t
be made use of in any action or actions which shall b
brought by the direction of the said —, his heirs, on
assigns, against any person or persons for trespassing on thd
said premises, being indemnified by ,the hii
heirs, or &signs; from and 'against all'txpebses thereto re-
lating; and shall and will, in all other respects, use his best
endeavours to preserve the game, fish, and wild fowl on the
said estate."
Is not this tolerably stringent. when cooled with the
clauses I sent you yesterday? Here is prov3ion 'bade that
the farmer shall give keep to any quantity of game the land-1
lord eatiadja7Vac—rt the kl`p=3,
" Whereas the poor have been of late deprived of the ad--;
vantages of gleaning by the custom of mowing instead of
reaping the wheat crops, it is hereby agreed that the said
—, his executors, or administrators, shall not in futurd
mow any wheat crop without permission in writing from the
said , or his agent, under forfeiture of the presest
agreement."
You will understand that mowing (the word has not thl
same meaning here as in Scotland), by leaving less stubbl
than reaping, leaves less cover for the game, and hence th
farmers adopt it. As a matter of fact, all the farmers agr
that it does not make the pretended difference in gleaning.

THE RUSSIAN FRIGATE AURORA)
WITH PRESENTS FOR THE QUEEN, AND!

GOLD.

On Monday (as we stated yesterday) the above fine vessel
commanded by a Vice-Admiral, came to anchor off the Cus-
tom-house, G;avesend.
Tuesday morning, at four o'clock, several boats, con
taining eighty boxes, bound with red tape, and impresse
with the Custom-house seal, were landed at the wh4rf, an
immediately packed in three uncovered light waggops, dra
each by Ibur horses, furnished by the landlord of the Falcol
Inn, Gravesend. . •
Shortly before five, o'clock a Russian non-commissioned
officer aml several soldiers entered the waggons, together with
a police-constable from the metropolitan force in each wag-.
gon, the whole being under the charge of acting Inspectoi
Taylor, of the A division.
The escort started, followed by the Russian Consul-Generali
the Chevalier Benkhausen, and some Russian officers, and
the chief officer of customs at Gravesend, in two carriages,
From the weight of the boxes the waggons did not reach
Blackheath until nine o'clock. They halted until half-past
nine, and then went forward, escorted by some mounted
police of the Greenwich, or R division,' to the Bank of Eng 4
land, which they reached at half-past ten o'clock, and en.;
Jered the north gate of that establishment. The packages
were then taken from the waggons,and sealed in the presence
of the principal officer of Customs. The whole of the vain.
able property contained in wooden boxes weighed just six
tons, and were safely deposited in the vaults of the Bank of
England.
It was rumoured at Gravesend that the gold was sent to
this country for the purpose of being refined, and that the
frigate would remain three weeks in the river, for the purpose
of taking it away when so prepared.
