We shall give a full report next I To what is this owing ? To the enlightenment that has 



* ' come to the popular mind with respect to the clearing 



of land, the benefits of autumn fallowing, to the large 

 quantities of artificial manure that are being used 

 annually. One of the Parliamentary returns shows 

 that in 1834 there were imported into England 2281 

 tons of guano, and in 1854, 235,111 tons, so that taking 

 it at 10Z. per ton, there is found to have been expended 

 in 1841, 28,808J. ; whereas in 1854 there was expended 

 the prodigious sum of 2,351,1 00/. to secure the benefits of 

 this one manure to the farmer. The use of the nitrates, the 

 only other kind of artificial that the returns take cogni- 

 sance of, is doubled in the same time. And when 

 we think of the immense number of bones that go to 

 make up the superphosphate manures distributed the 

 length and breadth of our country, we may well 

 arrive at the conclusion that the farmer is not 

 asleep, and that where he sees an outlay of capital 

 will benefit him, he hesitates not to adopt it." 

 The President alluded to the admirable results of 

 the associative principle, as exhibited by the meetings 

 of the Society, and the meetings of the local societies 

 throughout Great Britain. He praised the beneficial 

 effects of the Society's Journal, having spread far and 

 wide the experience of experimentalists, studying always 

 to confine and consolidate the practical results of such 

 meetings as the one over which he presided — doing their 

 part to the better feeding of the millions of the country. 

 And while referring to the Journal he paid a most just 

 tribute to the memory of its deceased editor, the talented 

 Philip Pusey. In describing the pleasure he received 

 from a recent visit, in company with some of his tenantry, 

 to Paris, he mentioned the unexampled success there of 

 the English exhibitors, Jonas Webb taking a prize 

 for every other animal, or nearly so, on which account 

 the Emperor has ordered that a special medal shall 

 be struck off to commemorate so honourable a fact. 



For the societies of Scotland and Ireland Capt. Ball 

 responded in a very appropriate speech for the 

 Irish Society, and Sir J. Maxwell, as a member of the 

 Highland Agricultural Society, and in the absence 

 of Mr. Alexander Graham, for the Scotch Society. 

 Sir J. Maxwell merrily alluded to the border feuds that 

 did once exist. He would do away with the exclusive 

 spirit of clanship, and was glad that the representatives of 

 the three sister societies were in Paris looked upon as one 

 and the self-same body, and that in this united capacity 

 they presented an address to the Emperor before they 

 left France. Captain Ball hoped that this alliance might 

 not merely exist in name, but ultimately grow to the 

 proportion of a great and splendid fact. 



Mr. Thompson proposed the Mayor and Corporation 



in a humorous speech, full of good feeling, to which 



the Mayor, Mr. Ferguson, responded very fittingly 



indeed, though unfortunately for the meeting not in a* 



voice sufficiently strong to be heard many yards in front 

 of him. 



Sir James Graham rose from the body of the Pavilion 

 and proposed this toast— agriculture, manufacture, 

 commerce. He complimented Mr. Miles, gracefully 

 alluded to Mr. Pusey and his indefatigable labours as 

 Editor of the Journal, reminded the meeting that 

 while we regarded with pride our present advance, 

 we must not cease to remember to whom we owe it 

 --our predecessors Mr. Coke, Sir J. Sinclair, &c. They 

 introduced drill husbandry, Turnip culture, and folding 

 upon arable laud, and this is the foundation of our 

 present successes— the starting post, in fact. Sir James 

 spoke upon the intimate relations that exist between 

 agriculture, manufacture, and commerce— relations the 

 repeal of our import duties has tended so much to 

 enlarge and strengthen. 



The Dean of Carlisle spoke to the toast " the Labour- 

 ing Classes," with right good feeling. He was followed 

 by Sir Stafford Northcote, who proposed thanks to the 

 Railway Companies for their co-operation in promoting 

 the objects of the Society, and Mr. Hasell responded. 

 Col. Challoner then proposed "the healths of the 

 Stewards and Judges of the Show," to which Mr. Fisher 

 Hobbs made answer. With the " Health of the Presi- 

 dent-Elect," proposed by Mr. Marshall, M.P., the 

 proceedings terminated, and the vast throng, consisting 

 of some 1000 or 1200 people dispersed, dispersed again 

 to encounter the Cumberland shower baths !

[We are unable in this Number of our Journal to 

 report on the Poultry Show. The number of pens of 

 poultry shown is 185, being 110 less than at Lincoln. 

 The Dorking fowl class comprised some of the most 

 admired specimens ; and the two classes of Dorkings, 

 the entire class of Spanish fowls, game fowls, and the 

 Aylesbury ducks received a general high commendation.] 



THE PAVILION DINNER. 



Every seat was occupied. The presiding notabilities 

 were, beside the fine spirited manly President, Mr 

 Miles, the Duke of Cleveland, Viscount Dillon, Lord 

 Eeroers, the Baron Ricasoli (a large landed proprietor 

 fromluscany), M. de la Trehonnois, of Paris, Sir J. 

 Maxwell, the \ery Rev. the Dean of Carlisle, Sir James 

 Irraharn Bart., M.P., Sir Stafford Northcote, the High 

 bherirf of the County, C. W. Hoskyns, Esq., &c. 



The loyal toasts were enthusiastically responded to 



The Baron Ricasoli responded in Italian to the toast 

 given to distinguished foreigners present. He spoke a 

 niost complimentary language, and used it eloquently 

 in reference to the benefits that result from international 

 alliance and concourse of all kinds. 



The toasts had been so arranged as to omit the 

 Array and Navy, but the meeting proving rebellious to 

 this arrangement, the President proposed the Army 

 and Navy ; and Sir J. Maxwell responded first for the 

 Navy, while the Duke of Cleveland returned thanks as 

 the senior officer in the room, for the Army. 



Lord Berners, in proposing the health of the Presi- 

 dent, passed a very high eulogium, which was most 

 cordially endorsed by the cheers of the meeting. 



The President, in responding to this toast, expressed a 

 just pride and satisfaction at presiding over such a 

 meeting— the largest he had ever seen in that Pavilion.
