The members of the Royal Agricultural Society of England held
their annual dinner on Wednesday, at Cambridge, under an immense pavilion erected on the lawn of Downing College. About 2,500 per- sons were present; and among themSirRohert Peel, who descanted on the importance of agriculture, but said nothing specific about protection to it, or Corn-laws. The accounts of the crops, in the Country papers received this week, are generally unfavourable ; but the warmer weather, which has since occurred, may have improved the prospect of the coming harvest. There was literally no change in the Manchester market on Tuesday ; the same dull and inanimate feeling prevailing with respect to yarns and manufactured goods of all descriptions ; and not muds improve- ment can be reasonably expected until the fate of the coming harvest is aseertained,-31towbester Guardian.
