The fears and doubts of Paris and its numerous 

 visitors were finally dispelled on Tuesday last (the 

 15th) by the opening of the Exposition Universelle, 

 which took place with all the forms and ceremonies 

 proper on such occasions. These will be found 

 duly recorded in another part of this Journal ; our 

 remarks must be limited to the points which more 

 directly concern the interests of those engaged in 

 agricultural pursuits. The interest which was 

 excited by, and the commercial results which have 

 followed, the Exhibition of 1851, have perhaps been 

 as marked in reference to the agricultuial Classes 3, 

 4, and 9, as in any others. We did well then, and 

 received our reward : we now have to enter the lists 

 with the same competitors, but on a foreign soil. 



In the Paris Exposition the classification differs 

 considerably from our own. We therefore think 

 that a brief summary embracing all our agricultural 

 relations with it may be serviceable both to those 

 who intend to visit it and to those who are content 

 to remain at home. 



Class 2 comprises forestry, hunting, shooting, 

 fishing, and the gathering of all produce obtained 

 without cultivation. This is subdivided into eight 

 sections : — 1. General Statistics, Maps, &c. ; 2 and 

 3. Vegetable Substances used in Arts and Manufac- 

 tures; 4. Hunting and Shooting (capture of 

 animals); 5. Fisheries; 6. Produce obtained with- 

 out Cultivation ; 7. Destruction of Vermin; 8. 

 Acclimatisation of Plants and Animals. With this 

 class happily we have not much that concerns us to 

 any extent ; in each section, however, we may find 

 something to learn; and in none, perhaps, more 

 than in that which relates to the management of woods 

 and forests, still such an unsatisfactory page in our 



national ledger. 



Class 3 is the representative of " productive in- 



and comprises within the general term 



to the cultivation of 



have seven sectional 



dustry, 



" agriculture " all that relates 



plants and animals. Here we 



divisions: — 1. Statistics and 



2. Agricultural Engineering; 



machines 



general documents ; 



3. Implements and 



fixed plant, &c. ; 4. Crops cultivated for 



Crops cultivated for special 



general purposes ; 5 



purposes ; 6. Breeding of animals (including poultry 

 and insects) and their produce ; 7. Industrial 

 applications of agricultural produce. This class 

 in its comprehensive range will no doubt con- 

 tain much that will interest and much that will 

 i instruct ; as yet, however, no indications of its 



existence are to be met with save in cur own 

 department, where the agricultural machinery begins 

 to make a creditable show. Its location, however 

 is in the annexed building, which, although gradually 

 emerging from the state of confusion which obtained 

 lor it the name of Balaklava, is Mill in a very back- 

 ward condition. 



+ l S ° m * ™^ et . v appears to exist as to the opportunity 

 that will be afforded for a general trial of The agri- 

 cultural implements exhibited by different countries. 

 The Imperial Agricultural Society, which usually 

 holds a meeting for the trial of ploughs early in June, 

 has this year notified that the.e will not be one. 

 and the G reat Agricultural Meeting (Concours Genera! 

 Agrtcolc) to be held in the Champ de Mars from 

 the 1st to the 9th of June, is confined solely to the ex- 

 hibition of breeding animals, including cattle, sheep, 

 and poultry, but not horses. This doubt, there- 

 fore, cannot be decided until the Jury meets, which 

 commences its sittings on the 15ih June, and will 

 no doubt at once take into consideration the 

 most suitable arrangements for a full and fair com- 

 petition, without which no proper estimate of 

 merits, intrinsic or comparative, can be arrived at. 

 In regard to the Great Cattle Show, too, we believe 

 less interest is excited and fewer entries will be 

 made in this country than there would have been 

 had its conditions been made known to us at an 

 earlier date, and through the oidinary medium of 

 communication with the agricultural community. 

 For the fiist time our neighbours have invited us, 

 and other stranger countries, to send over our cattle 

 to compete for their liberal prizes. 



The exhibition is to be divided into 2 sections ; the 

 1st comprising animals bred in foreign countries, and 

 belonging either to foreigners or to natives ; the 2d, 

 comprising animals bred in France. In the first 

 section, which alone concerns us, the following 

 prizes are offered :

In the four first classes, cattle and sheep, it i> 

 required that the males were born before the 1st 

 May, 1854, and the females before the 1st Novem- 

 ber, 1853 ; the pigs must have been born before the 

 1st October, 1S54. All entries are, accoiding to the 

 regulations, to be made before the 24th May ; this, 

 we are informed, will not be very rigidly inter- 

 preted in regard to English stock ; but all must be 

 on the ground on the 1st of June. Ail expenses 

 attendant upon the transport of the animals from 

 and to the Channel ports, and their charge while in 

 Paris, will be borne by the Government ; the 

 exhibitors having only to provide the food. 



At the termination of the Exhibition on the 8th, 

 sale will take place, when any animals not 



a 



i 



previously disposed of may be submitted to public 

 competition. 



This Exhibition, we think, offers great opportunities 

 to our farmers for making known some of those 

 breeds of cattle and sheep not generally imported 

 into France, but which may be particularly suited 

 for certain districts. Thus, new sources of demand 

 might be opened up for our agricultural stock, which 

 in a few years might rival in importance the demand 

 uhich has increased so rapidly for our horses. 

 The natural resources of France are great— her agri- 

 cultural produce is comparatively small ; this can 

 be increased to an enormous extent if the country 

 continues in its present tranquil state. Those who 

 have watched the career of the present Ruler of 

 France, and have seen the vast and important im- 

 provements that have been carried out under his 

 Government in the different parts of the country, 

 recognise his policy in now collecting in his capital 

 the choice stock of foreign countries. He thus offers 

 his people a means of comparison with their own. 

 and an opportunity of improving their native breeds 

 by an admixture of foreign blood, or of substituting 

 others for them that may present superior advan- 

 tages. W: 



Dairy Management was made the subject of a 

 lecture before the Royal Agricultural Society on 

 Wednesday last, by Professor Way. His remarks 

 on the theory and practice of the butter and cheese 

 manufactures wilh no doubt, hereafter appear in full
