ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OP ENGLAND.-/THIS DAT) The general meeting of the Rqyal Agricultural Society of England was held this day at the Hanover square Rooms, the Duke of RIM:KONA in the chair. The half-yearly statement of accounts for the half-year WAR approved. It appears from the report that the council resolved to terminate their engagement with Mr. Hall Dare, he being presented with 60W. The country meeting at Manchester, will be held in the week commencing Mon day, July 19, and close on Saturday, the 24th. Prizes to the amount of 2,9301. are offered by the society for live stock, and 1,0461. has been added by the Manchester local committee. The report was adopted. SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. (THIB DAY.) The show opened for its second public day this morning at 9 o'clock. and before the appointed hour there were many hundreds writing to gain admission, and a continuous stream of visitors kept pouring into the build ing at every entrance. Twenty-three thousand is the re corded number as having Famed the turnstiles and paid for admission on Tuesday, and if the number of visitors continues in proportion to those who have visited the show this morning, it may be fairly assumed that the aggregate number *1 titers from the opening to the close of the show to-day, will be nearly, if not quite, doubled. The great points of interest are naturally the prize animals. Mr. Heath's splendid Hereford, and the Earl of Hardwickc's beautiful cow, which obtained the first prize in their respective classes, ae well as her Majesty's prizes, were crowded beyond precedent. The competition which has taken place in the Scotch polled clasies between Mr. 111.Combe and Mr. Stephen, by w ho . n the former cele brated breeder has this year been beaten, also excited sleep interest; but it had been deemed advisable, from the extreme pressure upon the animals, to give them a link rest, and, therefore a complete barrier has been formed around them. The pig classes are us usual also a prominent feature, and the splendid pen of Windsors, bred by the Queen, which obtained the first prize in Cla.9 44, was especially an objet of uttraetiou. In reference to the piggery it may be mentioned that the pungent smell, of which there was some complaint, has now been entirely removed by the profuse distribution of Sir Win. Burns tt's disinfecting fluid, a circumstance most grateful to the visitors. Up to 12 o'clock it was under stood that over 14,000 persons had entered the building, and the public were passing in at the vari,w, uutraisce, by hundred... The subpettsien is announced of the firm of Wyman and Arklay, merchants, of Dundoe and of Boton, United States. The.liabilitics of the firm in the district of Dundee alone arc said to amount ti 80,0001. or 100,000!.
