Hon, G-eorge M. Dallas at an English Agricultural Fair. The annual festival of the Herts Agricultural Society, took place at the town of Hitchin. tfee 24th of Scntember. Sir E.

Ii. iLyton, M. P. presided, and wraomg those were 44 alias, tlie A men can caimrter, whs on a v'hirt to t'he the Marquis of Salisbury, Sir W. jToliffe, M.

and others. After the usual loyal toasts had been given siid responded to, the chairman We have present among us on this soccaetou tiio distinguished representative of ap illustrious people, akin to ourselves in language 'and blood, in just laws and in intellectual people of Aroerica. It is true that their institutions 1 UIUOI uuio. nxzy irec jiiiu tented wnder a republic. We liold ourselves to be equally free contented under tJbo mild sway of a constitutional sovereign.

Each nation attempts to work out tbe problem of good government in its own way. There, across the waters, we can recognize a republic which respects property and order: and here Americans inay recognise a monarchy which is not incompatible with liberty and progress. Now, gentlemen, there have been of late some political, or rattier, let me say, some diplomatic, misunderstandings, of which it would not become us od this occasion to say a single word. Let us hope that they are in a fair way of being tranquilly settled, upon terms which may equally consult the honor and the dignity of the two nations. The grand invention of the electric telegraph under the waves of the Alantic is about to add another link to those that the mother country to her giant there is a telegraph which can more annihilate lime and space, and Ashki we look to the wi6e and conciliatory genius of distinguished guest to re otrAii iuau i nuitu communicates between heart and heart, and which carries from nation to nation the language of common interest aud kindred Affection.

This is not the first time that Mr. Dallas baa visited these shores. He came here btofona towards the close of the unhappy warof 1812 between England and Amer Ice. He came then will) objects of peace and conciliation. Such arejl am bis objects now, and I trust that bis success will be 6ueb to establish imperishable fame not only among tbe statesmen of his oountry, but among the benefactors of the human race.

Our visitor is himself of British origin be is descended from an ancient and eminent family in these isles. Here he breathes the air which his ancestors bresthed, and be is treading tbe soil in which the bones of bis anoeston repose. It wss at a very anxioas and critical moment for the two countries that I first saw him, but I immediately felt sure tbat I was the right man in the right place, and and since he has honored me with a visit under my own with his amiahle and accomplished family, I have had on all occasions to admire the clearness of his depth of his observation, the dignified simplicity of his manners, the transparent kindness of his heart, and (if he will allow me so to say) the felicity with which he unites the natural patriotism of an American citizen with a just appreciation of all that is really excellent and sterling in the dear old land of his own fathers. Well I told him that if he would honor me with a visit, he would be sure, at least, of a hearty English welcome in an old English country house. But his heart is so large that the welcome of an individual does not content liim, and 1 am so proud of my guest that the welcome of an individual does not satisfy me for him and, therfore, he is here to day to receive the welcome of all classes and of all parties of Englishmen in this great national meeting.

Gentlemen, may those cheers with which I know you will receive the toast that I am about to propose be borne across the Atlantic, and assure the United States of our affection for their people, and of our respect for their representative. I give you the "health of his Excellency (jeorge M. Dallas, Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States of America;" and allow me to add one sentiment: Lasting concord between America and England. TLond e.hpprs.l Mr. It is impossible for me to allow tbe flattering manner in wbicb you have received the toast so kindly introduced by tbe distinguished gentleman who presided to pass without the expression of my warmest thanks.

A stranger to you all, 1 deeply feel the hospitality of your welcome, though, in truth, my short experience in England has given me more than I iwiouu vv? c.ijicv/1. ui liic eroua allusion (o the institutions, tlie progress and the prospects of my country, let me also return in my private as well as my public character the most cordial acknowledgments. Youthful among nations, and perhaps in the estimation of many, whom I address, far from faultless, she has, nevertheless, undeniably achieved in the general cause of civilization, in science, in art, io mccliauics, in human elevation and improvement, what may well justify encomiums from such enlightened, discriminating and candid men. In no sphere of social action arc the United States better entitled to your esteem than in the very one with which this banquet is connected. They recognize their agricultural interest, meir planters, and tueir farmers as the predominant interest tliat wields the power, originates the wealth, cherishes the manly freedom, and promotes the happiness of their entire people.

You can make no advance on that subject which will not meet with sympathy and co-operation. In the valley of the Mississippi, amid measuresless plains of exhaustless fertility, millions of my countrymen accept as the noblest of human pursuits the cultivation of their own soil. Their cheif aim and delight is to 6toek their farm6 with cattle of me best breeds, nnd they hail as more worth of their gratitude and their applause than military exploits or political victories every onward step in practical husbandry. I wish, gentlemen, I felt competent and at liberty to engage a few moments of your attention in adverting to American movements similar to yon? own. They are numerous in every separate State of our confederacy.

Impelled, as here. bv. the hicli r- a est intellect and truest patriotism, their combined results might be regarded as an offering not wholly unworthy of your acceptance. But I cannot venture so far; and although I am really sensible that an interchange of agricultural reports would constitute a powerful bond of natioual amity and peace, still, I shrink under the warning of one of your own venerable proverbs to which my Lord Helmet might, perhaps, apply his epithet of "somewhat musty," inculcating the folly or futility of carrying coals to Newcastle. fLauerhter.1 Gentlemen.

I repeat the expression of my thanks, and will now give you the only good thing which belongs to the address that 1 hnve made.

i. i i About Sating. Tho following advice is from Dr. Hall's Medical Journal. Who Las not bad suffi- sient experience to say amen to every word below Never sit down to the table with an anx- ious or disturbed mind; better a hundred fold, intermit that meal, for there will then bo that much more food in the world for liungrier stomachs than yours; and be- sides, eating under such circumstances can jnly, and shall always prolong and aggra rate the condition of things.

I Never sit down to a meal after an intense 1 mental effort, for physical and mental injury is invitable, and no man has a right delib- 1 irately to injure body, mind or estate. Never go to a full tabic during bodily i by some as being i worn out, and tired to death, used up and lone over, and the like. The wisest tiling fou can do under such circumstances, is to ake a cracker and a cup of warm tea, black or green and no more. In ten ninutes you feel a degreer of refreshment liveliness, wheh will be pleasantly surprising to you; not of the transient kindvhich a glass of liquor affords, but permaicnt for the tea gives pleasant stimulus a little strength, and before it subsides, lutriment begins to be drawn from the sujar, and bread, thus allowing the gradually and by safe degrees, to retain in ts usual vigor. Then, in a couple of hours, wu may take a full meal, provided that it Iocs not bring it later than two hours be- I ore sundown if later, then take nothing for day in addition to the cracker and tea, i md tho next day you will feel a' freshness ind vigor not recently known.

No reader will be required to be advised i second time who will make a trial as ihove, while it is felt of usual observation imong intelligent physicians, that eating i leartily and under bodily exhaustion, is not in unfrequcnt cause of alarming and painuI ilness, and sometimes of sudden death. I rhese things being so, let every family make a point to assemble around the family with kindly feelings, with a cheerful lumor and a courteous spirit; and let that neinber of it be sent from the table who to mar tlio ought-to-be blest re- inion by sullen silence, or impatient look angry tone, or complaining tongue. 2at in thankful gladness, or away with you the kitchen, you graceless churl, you ingrateful, pestilent lout that you are. There vas grand and good philosophy in the old ime custom of having a buffoon or music it the dinner table. i W.

Gilmork Boston Trav ller, of the 6th, says we are delighted to lttir that this celebrated novelist, the best southern representative of American Lit- irature, is coming North this fall, and du- ing the winter is to deliver a series of lec- ures in many of our principal cities.
