HASZARIYS GA'I.E'l"l‘E, SEI’TEMBElt. I7. NEWS OF T‘II WEEK. (Front the European Tiiim.) Lord Stanley, who distinguished himself at Bristol last week on the subject ot'l{et'or- matoriea for the juvenile criminal popula- tion, has this \Vt‘€k added to his httirels by an equally excellent lecture on it very op- posite. subject-agriculture. Whatever he touches, he turns to gold. On this occasion his lordship presided at the dinner ofthe urth Laiicashire Agricultural Society, and gave the body which he addressed some excellent advice on the subject of drainage, inuuures, and the application of nincliiucry to the soil. Lord Stanley never appears in public without carefully prepar- ing what he hits to say, and the result is thiit‘there is sonn-thing always infuriniiig in wlitit falls fi-oni Iiini. Ho is great in statis- tics, btit even his desultory reading is prac- tical ittid instructive. llis lot-dsliiptliinlts that altliot._ fi diiiinage has been carried on oftato _u-iii-s to at considerable extent, tiiucli yet rt-inniiis to he done, and relying oti the estimate of others, he believes that a Initi- drtd inillione ofinoiiry might be protitubly invested in this particular species of im- provcnicnt——an enornious sum, it is true, btit small, as he showed, in comparison with the money sunk in rtiilwuys during the last twenty years, a species of invest- ment whicli hits been productive oftlie best public rt-~ults. Ofthe 77,U00,0tl0 of acres In the United Kingdom, it is ascertained that tlireo-tiiibs are already in cultivation, good, had, oi- llltltlli‘l't'l\l, as the case tnay be,-—that one litili inoro inight be cultiva- ted, and that the rcniaining fifth is not worth cultivation. Instead of bringing ex- pensive lIltllIlll‘t'S front the far Pucilic and the ends of the eat-tli, he thinks that ina- nurt-s at lionie might be ndrnntzigeoiisly employed oti the principle that nothing in titttore is drstroyml, and that wliatever conies front the ('llI‘ll| tnnst int-vitulily re- turti to it. The setvngc of the Tlianics alone, he contends, would save live niillioiis a-year, and ii tiohle river from pollution. The application of Il|ilt.'llltICl'y to the soil during the last tiftecn _Vt'itI‘S has been most encounigiiig in tlirnsliiiig, sowing, and renpitig nincliines—-in itnprovcd plotiglis, and various other nggrit-,ii|tur~il llllplt:IItt'lllS One firin dui-in;_v the last four years has cold no lcssthan l3!lU steam engines for agricultural purposes, and there is now in €XItilt'll(.'l5 in tliis country no less than 400 agt-ictiltiiral SuCi(?llt'S, bi-sides 150 farnit-rs‘ clubs. It may be iiift-rt-ed, that the intro- duction of these topics, skilfully treated, foi-nit-d the material of It discourse which could not fail to startle and iniprove the agricultnrists. 'l'|ici-c was one passage at the close of his address relative tothe labo- ring sons of the soil which was so excellent in sentiment, that we cannot resist tliu tcinpt:itioti to quote it--Lord Stanley said, ‘‘l at: the laboring classes, because confess that that is a consideration which gives the whole subject ofagricultural pro- grass on interest, in my mind, which it would not otherwise possess. The higher the farmer becomes, the more machinery you employ, the less need will there he of brute force, and the more you will require skilfully cultivated intelligence: you will have a less demand upon your labourers‘ muscles, and a greater demand upon their brains.” The weather, although broken occasi- onally, is upon the whole fine. Ifthere he showers or rain one hour or one day, the rain or the showers are succeeded by warmth and sunshine, which immediately repair any trifling damage which may have been done. The harvest in all parts of the country is progressing most favorably, and the accounts are very encouraging. Indeed, we do not remember a year when the line- hundman's rospects were so good. In addition to the home supplies being thtis ample, the quantity of wheat and flour coming in from the \'Vestern World is large, and the price obtained leaves a handsome margin of profit. This year of the harvest in the United States and in Canada has been bountiful beyond precedent. Of course, the cargoes which are now coming in are ‘ _of last year's growth; but impelled by the shortness of the crops in Spain and Portu- al, and by the painful condition of things in the Island of Madeira,-tibovo all, acted tiontil quantities of wheat and flour will he foi-warded from America at the earliest possible moment. gratitying state of things, inoincntary nint- ters wear an unpleasant u.-ipect. us, the disappearance of I few inilliotis of gold poisons ourjoy.

The thing was well and iiohly done, and we can well tindei-stutid the feel- ing displayed by the ‘.2000 fine oldiers who sat down to the entertiiininent. The chair was filled by Scrjeunt-l\lajor Edwards, the senior serjeant ot tlit- Guards, who claims to be the oldest soldier in the British army, although the accounts represent him to be far from aged-looking. Unlike many thou- sands of the brave men who accompanied him to the Crimes, and left their bones there, he escaped the fatality oftliat peril- ous campaign, and although olfered ti. coin- mission declined it. The interest which the Queen has taken in the British veterans who have returned from the Black Sea has, in some instances, been substantial, for the dinner to the guards brings out the pleas- ing fttct, that she sent for this Edwards, and appointed him one of the Yeomen of the Guard, besides melting him the Prince of Wales’: tutor in calisthenic exercises—a trait in her Majesty ‘ii character which it is pleasant to record. From the trade and navigation returns, which have been published during the week, we learn that the value of exported ooda in the month of July exceeds that of ast year by nearly two millions, and shows an advance of more than halfa million over the year previous. 0» tho seven months of 1856, the increase is more than live mil- lion as compared with the corresponding seven monthsof I856. and tnore thantwulvo as compared with 1854. This exhibits an (decently-attired ' man in Europe.” But ;listen to the scandal which the naughty ‘editor pours forth on poor Mrs. Bull. "The ‘Eng-lishwoinau of the middle class leaves, ; no doulit, much to be desired as far as dress ‘ is concei-ned,in comparison with her French sisters. Ht-r gowns are ill-inade and worse put on. Slio has most imperfect theories upon the important matter of wearing her shawl. She will persist in adopting some tawdry dab of velvet in summer, and win- ter beholds her fiaunting about in satin. .~he delights in bad contrasts of colours, and the more of these she can bring into imperfect combination, the better satisfied with herself she appears to be." To keep it check upon the Catfres in future, it has been determined to establish a military Colony in South Africn,—a trien- sure that receives the warm approval ofthe London Times. That paper devotes a leading article in its iinpreiision ot'yt-ster- day to the subject. The Queen of Oude has been holding it levee at an hotel in Southampton, in true Orientitl fashion, and is on the point of taking tip her quarters in Regent's-park, London, where several houses are engaged to receive herself and her suite.
