ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SO-
CIETY.

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.
Baisron, JULY 14.—Yesterday, at 6 o'clock, the Council din-
ner, of which the anticipated grandeur had been so long the subject
of conversation, took place at the Victoria Rooms, and upwards
of 500 noolemen, gentlemen, and farmers sat down at the ta-
bles, which were covered with dishes principally of cold meats,
and tureens of turtle, which was at a temperature something
about the atmospheric heat of a summer day. The large room
in which the dinner took place is a vety splendid apartment,
and capable of containing a much larger company than was as-
sembled yesterday. At the cross table was seated the Presi-
dent of the Society, Mr. Handley, who acted as Chairman,
supported by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the
Dukes of Beaufort and Richmond, the Marquises of Dow nshire
and Worcester, the American Minister, (the Hon. E. Eve-
rett), Lords Somers, Spencer, Ilchester, Beauclerk, the Dean
of Bristol, Dr. Lamb, the Mayor of Bristol, &c. ; and amongst
tile guests at the other taales were a great number of the no-
bility and gentry whose names have already been given in
connection with the meeting of the Society,and a vast number
of persons of rank and intluenc.:. The whole was well ar-
ranged and conducted, and considering the great number of
persons to be accommodated, there was perhaps not much to be
complains d of.
'I he cloth being removed,
Thu CHAIRMAN, Mr. Handley, President of the Society.
rose and proposed the " Health of her Ilaje,ty," which was
drunk vtiih great enthusiasm.
The next toast was the " Healths of her Majesty the Queen
Dowager, his Royal Highness Plince Albert, Albert Prince of
Waies, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and the
rest of the Royal Family."
His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE returned
thanks.
Atter other toasts the CHAIRMAN gave the " Health of the
Hon. Edward Everett, Honorary Member of the Royal Agri-
cultural Society."
_

Mr. EVERETT, on rising, was received with reiterated accla-
mations. tie said-1 came here with no other expectation
or purpose than that of being a gratified and instructed specta-
tor. I find myself by the liberality of the Council elected to the
distinguished honour of being permitted to associate with you
as a brother member, an honour fur which I can assure yon I
feet the deepest gratitude. lam aware that I do not appear
betel e you this nay in an official capacity, but I feel that this
honour has been conferred upon me as the representative of
my native country, and I have great pleasure in acknowledg-
ing, on behalf of my Government, this tribute of your good
feeling towards my country.—( Cheers. ) if I may he per-
mitted to use the words of his Royal Highness, I would say,
that though I cannot boast of being a practical farmer, I
have in my native land been ever a diligent observer of the
science of agriculture, and have always been most anxious to
promote its prosperity.—( Cheers.) When I had the honour
to be elected, some years since, by the voice of my fellow-
citizens, to the office of Chief Magistrate of the State of Mas-
saehusetts, it fell to my fortune to have to contribute to a re-
port on the agricultural state of that portion of the United
States. That report, I understand, has reached this country,
and the Duke of Richrsland has greatly gratified me by saying
that he has read with pleasure some of the documents referred
to. 1 thank you most cordially for this friendly and cordial
reception. It is with no ordinary emotions that, though in a
foreign country, I find myself able to speak its language, and
that it meets with a response like this from those whom I have
the honour now to address. But it is not merely in language
that the two ;countries agree ; many of our fathers emigrated
from these parts, and brought with them the then modes of
agriculture, which have gone on gradually progressing, and
even our domestic anima's bear traces of a common origin,
and to the eye of the farmer the dumb animals; though they
cannot speak, proclaim that they also came from Old England.
—( Great cheering.) What au insensible clod of the valley
should I be if I was not touched by that which is proclaimed to
me by the dumb animals themselves !—(Cheers.) lam afraid
I have already taken up too much of your time, and I will now
only detain you while I again express my acknowledgments for
the great huuour done me by this distinguished Association,
and I big to offer my best wishes for its continued prosperity,
and that of the agriculture of Great Britain generally.
The award of the prizes to the successful competitors in the
