The annual dinner of the East Suffolk Agricultural Association, at

Ips- wich on Thursday, was attended by the President, Lard Stradbrooke, Lord St. Leonardo, Sir Edward Gooch, and Sir Fitzroy Kelly. The speeches of the President and the late Attorney-General are remarkable for the omission apparently agreed upon, of any but the faintest allusions to "recent legislation"; and for the general admission of a prosperity previously unknown. But this is referred by the speakers to an aban- donment of antiquated systems of agriculture, to the improvement of machinery, and to the energies of the Anglo-Saxon blood. Sir Fitzroy Kelly told the farmers that they must not look to legislation, nor to Min- - isters, but to themselves for the continuance of prosperity.

We understand that Lord Elphinstone has been appointed Governor of Bombay ; and Mr. Thomason, late Governor of the North-west Provinces, has been appointed to the Government of Madras.—Standard, Sept. 9.
