We quote f..ona the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No. (18,4t3): — "Rome, July 21st, 1818.—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Bevalenta Arabica Food, of which heconsumes a p'ateful at every meal.

The CHAIEMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he hoped they would give him their sympathy, as he had to follow in the steps of a gen tleman who had addressed them from the chair for several years successfully, being fully conver sant with the affairs of the bank. Ile proposed to take the ordinary business first, and afterwards the special business. lie congratulated the pro prietors upon the completion of the new building, owing to the exertions of the architect and builder, and he hoped the public would find the building convenient in every respect for the large business they - had to transact. He was sorry they had not a larger rooni'to meet in, but they had _made it as large as they could, and he was glad to see it so well filled by the proprietors. The low rate of in terest during the past half-year had had its effect on their returns ; the average rate of interest was, he believed, not more than 3 per cent. ; and, as they held a large amount of public securities and had a great deal of business, he trusted they would consider that the directors' report was satisfactory. (Hear, hear.) The dividend was about the same as that of last year, and no doubt they were indebted to their directors and managers for the sound position of their affairs. The deposits showed an increase of £BOO,OOO, as compared with the corresponding half of last year, but as compared with the end of the Christmas lialf-year there was a falling off of £BOO,OOO. The deposits in the current half-year had increased from the end of June to the present time by £1,000,000, which he thought showed the public confidence in the stability of their bank. The reserve fund was now £500,000, after every thing had been written off. Some questions had been asked as to the large amount expended on the present building, which was all freehold, and now stood in their books ato £36,000. They had spent on it between £40,000 and £50,000, but it would be a perfectly good asset for £76,000. They gave £187,000 for the business of Messrs. Jones Lloyd and Co., but that now stood in their books at a cost of only £BO,OOO, and so he might go on through the whole list ; the cost of their branches was equally satisfactory, their branch build ings were nearly all freeholds, and stood in their books at an equally moderate amount as the parent establishment. A certain sum was written off the cost of buildings each half year, and their cost in the book was gradually reduced. There was a time, many years ago, when he opposed the in crease of the reserve fund beyond a certain figure, but things had greatly altered since that time; the reserve fund now amounted to £500,000, and it was proposed to increase it to £ 1 ,000,000. Mr. ESDAILE seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report, and it was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said the next matter he had to submit was with regard to the increase of the capital and of the reserve fund. There was a feeling at the board that as so much money was constantly in trusted to them by the public the capital of the bank ought to be increased, so as to have the amount more in proportion to the business transacted be tween them and the public. They really did not want the money, but they felt that the time had come for an increase of capital, and it had occupied a great deal of thought and careful consideration at the board. They came to the unanimous conclusion that £1,000,000 ought to be added to the capital of the bank, making £2,000,000 paid up, and at the same time to add £OOO,OOO to the reserve fund, making together, paid up capital and reserve fund, £3,000,000. They believed that public opinion would still be with them as to that step, and that the value of the property would be increased. lie would propose a resolution to that effect, and stated that it would be necessary at the end of a fortnight from this date to hold a meeting to confirm the re solution if they agreed to it. He then moved a for mal resolution authorising the directors to increase the capital of the company by the issue of 50,000 new shares of £lOO each, to be allotted to the share holders on the register of the 31st July inst. in the proportion of one new share for every share then standing in the names of such shareholders, that £3O per share be paid on the 14th of August next, and authorising certain alterations in clauses 61 and 95 of the deed of settlement to give effect to the resolution. Mr. Alderman SALOSIONS, M.P., said he had great pleasure in seconding the motion. After a few observations by Mr. Moore, Mr. Wheeler, and Mr. Johnstone, the resolution was carried unanimously, amid cheers. It was stated that the meeting to confirm the re solution would be held there on Friday fortnight. Thanks were voted to Mr. Ewings, the general manager, the managers, and other officers of the bank, for their able and efficient services during the past half-year. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. tingent liabilities for calls now amounted to only t 12,000. The shareholders in the old company who had declined to tike shares in the n:_rx com pany had been settled with on equitable term 3. The report was adopted, the dividend was de clared, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. CAMBRIDGE, WedlloSday. The official declaration of a vacancy in the re presentation of this University took place here this morning, when the Vice-Chancellor (the Rev. Dr. Cartmell, Master of Christ's College) issued a notice that there would be a Congregation at 12 o'clock, when a day would be appointed for the election of a burgess to represent the University in Parliament, "in place of Mr. Charles Jasper Selwyn, who has been appointed her Majesty's Solicitor-General." The Congregation took place accordingly, the Vice-Chancellor presiding. The attendance, how ever, was but small, in consequence of its being vacation time, and therefore but few members of the University in residence. The under-mentioned comprised all who were present :—.The Vice-Chan cellor, the Rev. E. H. Perowne, Corpus Christi College, Deputy Proctor; Mr. Bradshaw, King's College, Deputy Registrary ; the Rev. Dr. Okes, Provost of King's College ; the Rev. Dr. - Cookson, Master of St. Peter's College ; Professor Lightfoot, Trinity College;' Mr. Clay, Trinity College; and Mr. Clark, of Queen's College; Mr. Godfray, of Corpus College; and Mr. Besant, of St. John's, and Esquire Bedells, were also in attendance. The writ (understood to have been received here yesterday) was read by the Deputy Proctor, and the Vice-Chancellor having appointed Monday next at ten o'clock for the election, the proceedings, which were of a purely formal character (as, indeed, they will be on Monday, there being no prospect of op position), terminated. BIRMINGHAM. The nomination is fixed for Monday next. WEST GLOC ESTE RSIIIRE. An influential meeting of Conservative electors for West Glocestershire was held yesterday at Bris tol, at which it was announce.! that Col. Edward A. Somerset, C. 8., son of the late Lord Edward Somer set, who represented the county of Glocester before the passing of the Reform Bill of 1832, had accepted au invitation to become a candidate for the seat for West Glocestershire, rendered vacant by the eleva tion of Sir John Rolt to the dignity of Lord Justice. The gallant colonel, who at one time sat in the House of Commons as one of the representatives of the county of Monmouth, is at present on duty at Dub lin, but will return to England at once, and his ad dress will in all probability be issued to-day. The Liberal candidate, Mr. C. Berkeley, is pursuing active canvass, and a smart contest may be expected between the houses of Beaufort and Berkeley for the vacant seat. UPPER-STREET.

Hawkins in the chair, the directors were autho rised to raise a further sum of £30,000 by the crea tion of new preference shares, under the powers contained in the Tendring Hundred Railway Act, 1867. The rate of interest to be attached to the new shares was not to exceed 7 per cent. per annum. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The traffic receipts on this company's lines for the week ending the 29th June amounted to £9,027 for passengers, to £799 for emigrants, to £986 for mails, &c., and to £ll,BOl for freight and live stock ; total, £22,613, against £24,625 for the corresponding week last year, showing a decrease of £2,012. The total receipts from Jan. 1 to the above date amounted to £621,903, and for the same period last year to £633,422, showing a decrease of £11,519. LONDON AND WESTMINSTER BANK. A special general meeting of the proprietors was held yesterday at the bank in Lothbury ; Mr. Win. Tite, M.P., in the chair. The Secretary read the report, which stated that after making provision for all bad and doubtful debts, paying the income tax, and setting apart £2,000 towards the buildings of the bank, the net profits for the last half year amounted to £146,066, which added to £45,889 from the preceding half year amounted to £191,955. Out of this £12,000 was taken for interest and added to a reserve fund ; the directors declared a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and, by way of further divi dend out of profits, a bonus of 11 per cent, on the paid-up capital, making 14 per cent. for the half year. After those payments there would remain £39,955, of which £B,OOO would be carried to the reserve fund, which would then amount to £500,000, and the balance, £31,955, would be carried to profit and loss account for the current half year. The di rectors proposed to increase the capital of the bank by the issue of 50,000 new shares of £lOO each, of which £3O was to be paid, viz., £2O per share in part payment of the capital, and £lO per share pre mium, to be added to the reserve fund. The paid up capital would then amount to £2,000,000, and the reserve fund to £1,000,000. The amount due by the bank on deposits, circular notes, &c., was £21,858,958 (not including acceptances, £784,250). The assets consisted of £3,652,315 in Government securities, £17,160,117 in bills discounted, loans, GENERAL CREDIT AND DISCOUNT (LIMITED). The first ordinary meeting of this company was held on Monday at the London Tavern ; Mr. Bram ley-Moore in the chair. The report stated that during the past six months there was but little business doing, and money was at low rates of interest. The directors felt justified in recommending a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. With regard to the railway in Portugal assurances had been given by the Por tuguese Ministers to the effect that their Govern ment would eventually deal with the question in a spirit of equity. With regard to the £160,050 secured by a charge on surplus land of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, which was disputed, the directors were advised that not only would the charge be sustained, but that those who obtained the loan from the company would be held responsible for its repayment. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that this was a new company formed to succeed the General Credit and Finance of London (limited). The reconstruction had been success fully carried out, and all essentials had been com plied with. The accounts of the company as they now stood showed that the capital was £1,500,000, and the assets £1,853,000. (Hear.) The cash, bills, and short loans amounted to £729,000 ; the investments stood at £279,000, and the out standing loans were £36l,ooo—making a total of £1,369,000. But to this mast be added the bad business they had done, amounting to £484,000, including two items of £ 1 60,000 advanced to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, and £151,000 to the South- Eastern Railway of Por tugal. The company owed nothing on acceptances, but the public deposits amounted to £123,000, so that they now had liabilities for £1,623,000, against assets of £1,853,000, after taking into account the dividend about to be paid, amounting to £37,000. (Hear.) Since he last addressed them, two of the directors (Sir 11. D. Wolff and Mr. Brassey, jun.) had been over to Portugal to treat with the Go vernment on the subject of the loan for the South- Eastern of Portugal Railway, and the Minister had given every possible assurance of the intentions of the Government to repay the money. (Bear.) Should the Portuguese Government fail to fulfil the solemn promise they had given it would be in vain for them to come into the markets of Europe to ob tain any further loan. lie, however, was satisfied the Government would keep their promise and pay back the money. (Hear, hear.) If the share holders would only act together as one man, he could venture to predict a prosperous future for the company, as they stood in a good position as re garded their finances, having upwards of a million of money at their command, and he hoped they would induce their friends to make deposits with the company, for which good security could be offered. Mr. WORMS seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report. In reply to questions it was stated that the con- THE PROPOSED BOROUGH OF CHELSEA. Yesterday evening the first public meeting in con nexion with the representation of the proposed borough of Chelsea was held in the Assembly-rooms, in the Fulham-road ; Mr. W. Cattle presiding. Sir Henry A. Hoare, Bart., one of the candidates, at tended and delivered a long speech. He said he was a firm supporter of all those liberal measures which had been proposed during the last 20 or 30 years, all founded on the love of eqaality, which he believed to be a noble ambition. For himself he might say that he was not a reformer in the French sense, which sometimes meant revolution, for at all events in England we all had equality as far as the law was concerned, with some exceptions, however. In 1832 the Reform Bill brought into the exercise of the franchise the middle classes of. the community, but it left out the working classes, who were now to be provided for. He had the most perfect con fidence in the people of England, and in Mr. Glad stone as their leader. He did not like to be called a Radical ; he thought radicalism meant the up rooting of all that was good in the constitution, but he preferred to be placed in the ranks of the advanced Liberals, who were really the soundest Reformers. He believed that Mr. Gladstone's bill was the most sincere and honest measure that was ever presented to Parliament, because it said what it meant, and meant what it said ; but the bill now before Parliament would require much revision before it would satisfy the wants of the people. The bon. baronet declared that he was in favour of the ballot, compulsory educ a ti on , th e equa li sat i on o f poor rates, and the reform of municipal institutions. A resolution -to the effect that Sir H. Hoare ought to be supported was eventually carried. Who is to be the second .popular candidate for the proposed new constituency does not yet seem to have been definitely settled, although two or three influential gentlemen are said to be aspirants for the honour. THE MARKETS OF THE POOR. Miss Burdett Coutts has taken the initiative in an important enterprise for the benefit of the poor in one of the most destitute distri c t s o f th e metropolis. A local Act, promoted in her name, was quietly passed through Parliament last session, the preamble of which sets forth that the opening of a market for the sale of fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, poultry, and other provisions, in a convenient position near Columbia-square, Bethnal-green, would be a great advantage to large numbers of the labouring classes, and other persons resident in that parish and its neighbourhood. And further it recites that Miss Burdett Coutts is willing to undertake the establish ment of such a market at her own charge and to maintain it for the use of the public. No time has been lost in giving effect to the authority conveyed in the Act. A large piece of ground has been set apart for the market, and the buildings are already sufficiently advanced to enable one to judge of the aspect of the place when completed. The market is enclosed on each side by a range of Gothic buildings of an elegant but substantial character. On the right and left as you enter is a row of shops-12 on each side—with a covered way in front and dwelling houses above. On the north side of the market is the market-hall, containing 24 shambles, the access to which is by a porch, above which rises a clock tower, 110 ft. high. The shops are supplied with every convenience in the way of cellarage, water, gas, &c., and the dwellings above are each com plete in itself and contain comfortable rooms, with washhouse and kitchen, well ventilated, and fitted with every sanitary requirement. The area of the market covers altogether 90,000 ft. The large open square will be set apart for stalls and barrows of all kinds, the admission fees charged on dealers being at a very low scale suited to the costermon ge . r clss who conduct in so large a deg ree the commissariat of the poor. This scheme will not only supplem ent the house accommodation o f the adjoinin,g Colum bia-square, a large pile of m odel lou ding -hd ous now es built a few years bac k by Miss C o tts, an tenanted by a numerous settlement of labourers and artisans, but will supply a want severely felt by the whole population of the neighbourhood.—the want The project will also iuci of a convenient market. dentally confer another benefit on this quarter by opening up a new street and otherwise improving Although utility has been the t h e c ommunications . first object consulted in the plans of the market, and no effort has been spared to make the fittings of the shops as perfect as possible from a business point of view, Miss Coutts has been anxious that artistic effect should not be overlooked. The general appearance of the buildings, with the lofty clock tower in the centre of the upper end, is very impressive. The architect is Mr. 11. A. Darbi shire, who also furnished the designs of Columbia square. We venture to hope that the noble example which Miss Burdett Coutts has set will be PRICY 4d. STAMFED sd. followed, and that the Betlinal-greeu Market will be the first of an important serie3 of reforms extending throughout the metropolis. It is little to say that this market will be the best in any part of London. Compared not only with the spacious halles of Paris, but even with the markets in second and third rate provincial towns in England, the metropolitan mar kets are one and all simply disgraceful—small, mean, overcrowded, and inconvenient in every way. But the poor are left without any markets, properly so called, at all. Clare-market, the Brill, the New cut, and the other " kerb-stone" markets are merely squalid streets blocked up with stalls and barrows. The question, it must be borne in mind, is not one of mere convenience on the part of buyers and sel lers. The present state of things has a very direct and decided effect in raising the price and deterio rating the quality of the goods supplied to the poor. The amount of downright poisoning and robbery which is perpetrated by provision dealers year by year among the poor, if it could only be brought to light, would probably shock and startle people quite as much as the trade union disclosures at Sheffield. Detected crimes form only a small proportion of those which are committed ; and the list of convic tions at every petty sessions in the south and east of London for false weights and measures and adul terations is sadly suggestive of the prevalence of one of the most cruel and heartless forms of dishonesty. But the smaller class of shopkeepers say they -are themselves to be pitied. They are almost forced to pilfer and adulterate in order to pay the high rents demanded for their miserable shops, where they are subject to constant losses from having no means of properly storing and keeping fresh their goods. Mr. Harry Chester's committee in the society of Arts is doing useful service in opening up new sources of supply ; but Miss Burdett Coutts has taken up an equally important, and perhaps more immediately practical and beneficial, branch of the same good work—the improvement of the means of distributing the supplies already to be had, so as to make the most of them, and render them cheaper and more accessible. It is no part of the Bethnal-green project to furnish any contributions to the market, but we hope Miss Coutts will give as much encouragement as possible to any dealer who will undertake to bring such a thing as pure milk within reach of the poor. There is to be a coffee-shop at one corner of the market. We should not be sorry to see it balanced by a model " public" at the other for the sale of wholesome beer of the Bavarian quality, and espe cially of those small doses of wine and spirits which are necessary to the poor in sickness and which it is now almost impossible for them to get except in an adulterated state which inflames instead of relieving their malady. There is another feature in this scheme—for we hope it will be taken up by other benevolent persons, if not by the local authorities— which should not be overlooked. To reconcile the generous impulses of benevolence with the hard rules of political economy is the great problem of charity. Alms, it is said, with some truth, demoralise the recipient, impairing the self-respect and sapping the self-reliance of those on whom they are beptoveed. In the extreme case of the absolutely destitute there can, of course, be little room for doubt as to how one should act. When a man is utterly houseless and starving there is but one thing to be done, and that is to provide him with shelter and food as promptly as possible. This has now been recognised as a public duty in Mr. Villiers's Ilouseless Poor Act, and however imperfectly the principle is at present carried into practice, we may hope that in the course of time means may be found to prevent the shameful scandal of any poor wretch dying in the streets for want of the first necessaries of life. The chief difficulty of benevo lence arisesin the case of people just above destitu tion —the struggling poor who have a roof over their heads, and contrive somehow or other to find food enough—though now and then barely, and never more than enough to sustain existence. The best of these are any of anything like direct charity, and the worst of them are apt to suffer harm from it. Yet this class, including as it does those known as the " quiet poor," is above any other deserving of sympathy and assistance. They have to toil the hardest for the poorest pittance, and outr of their miserable earnings they have to pay the highest price for the worst of everything. Such a plan as the opening of a market where they will get good ar ticles at a fair price meets the difficulties of the case. It helps them to help themselves, and affords the as sistance they need without injuring their inde pendence. The mere supervision over weights and measures which will be secured in Miss Burdett Coutts's market will in itself be a pecuniary boon to the poor who deal there.—Pall-Mall Gazette. The National Rifle Association. WIMBLEDON COM3ION, Wednesday Evening. The final contest for the Queen's Prize having been decided yesterday, attention was to-day directed to the other important competitions that yet remain to be disposed of, some of which had not even begun. In the early part of the morning the common presented the same dirty and slushy ap pearance as on former days. Soon after 12 o'clock rain fell heavily, and before many could reach the nearest tents they came in for a thorough drenching. At this time the Belgians were firing for their prizes at the northern ranges, and went on just as if the most genial sun was shining over their heads. There was a great number of Belgians on the ground in addition to those who were shooting, and as a graceful compliment to England every man wore a rosette or band, in which the colours of the vinion jack were combined, immediately under the medal that was presented by the Prince of Wales to every one on Saturday last. The prizes given for the Belgians to compete for this day, at 150 yards, were as follows : A piece of plate, given by Messrs. Smallpage and Son, value £5O. A Reilly small-bore Rifle , in case complete, given by Messrs. Reilly and Co., of Oxford-street, value £25. A Cup, given by the Gunmakers' Company of London, value £2l.

There was a toler ably good sprinkling of visitors on the ground. w t accuracy The programme for to-day consisted of the se cond stage of the Albert Prize, being for a cup of the value of £lOO, and the Gold Medal of the "Wes tern India Rifle Association. Seven shots each at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards. The Rifle Oaks was also continued throughout the day. The most important item on the programme of the day was the Chancellors' Challenge Plate, value £lOO, presented by the Duke of Devonshire and the Earl of Derby fcr annual competition between the volunteers of the Oxford and Cambridge Uni versity corps, eight competitors on each side, seven shots each, at 200, 500, and 600 yards. The fol lowing were those selected to represent the different universities : —Oxford : Lieut. H. Kolli, Sergeant Blackburn, Sergeant Winger, Private Ward, Cor poral Mason, Privates Holmes, Carslake, and Reeves. Cambridge : Hon. J. Bouverie, llon. J. Gordon, Hope, Lambert, I\l'Kerrall, Rein, Roe, and Tomlinson. The other competitions were merely continua tions of those already begun. A rather anomalous incident occurred to-day at the breech-loading competition at the 200 yards range, for the Duke of Cambridge's prize. Mr. %,~ /~ n ~~ '2 :-..--,•.......,...(,,...--- ..... ...

In one case a man, out of 24 rounds, with a Carter Edwards rifle, had no less than 13 miss -fires, but that does not apply to the cartridges above referred to, for in the three minutes' compe tition no miss-fire or sticking in the chamber of the barrel has ever occurred. This day, howevt-r, on a competitor going up to th.t 1:00 yards range to fin with aQovernment Snitierand DAWC3'2, cartrilges, he was prevented from doing so by the officer in com mand, who said that he had received strict orders to prevent the Governmnt rifle being tired by any other than a Boxer cartridge. The effect of this will be to exclude the best cartridges, and to substi tute those that in many instances have failed, and this is of the utmost importance when the prize de pends upon the rapidity of firing, and which is limited to three minutes. The Wimbledon meeting is gene rally:supposed to be the place where all improvements in rifles and cartridges are brought forward, but by this regulation what has proved itself to be one of the best things in cartridges is excluded. The Bishop of London and Mrs. Tait visited the camp this day, accompanied by several ladies and gentlemen, and partook of refreshments in the mess tent of the First Surrey; after which they were taken to the firing points by Colonel Macdonald, the coin manding officer of the First Surrey, and for which at tention they appeared much pleased, and expressed their gratification at the kindness they had received. In the breech-loading competition to-day the Master of Lovat had recorded as his three minutes score the extraordinary number of 92 marks. The matter led to au investigation, and as the markers had given him credit for 29 shots, and only 26 could be fouud on the target, the Master of Lovat's score was cancelled. A notice was issued to-day stating that it had been ascertained that volunteers were in the habit of shoot ing in wrong names, and it was stated that if it was detected the persons so offending would not be allowed to take a prize, and would be disqualified from shooting again during the meeting. At the 200 yards of the breech-loading com petition, at a late period of the day, Sergeant Pace, of the 12th Kent, made 80 points in three minutes with a Snider rifle, thus tying Mr. Bird, of the 2Gth Kent, who made a similar number, but the highest score of all was made by Mr. Farquharson, with a Henry rifle, who made 92 points. Sergeant Dunlop made 79 with a Henry, Mr. Holland made 75 with a Witney, and Gostege made 75 with a Soper. offi- THE REVIEW ON SATURDAY.—The following cial memorandum has been issued :—" The force will assemble on the ground of the National Rifle Association at Wimbledon as soon after four o'clock as possible.

The society continues to work steadily on in all departments of its varied operations. The trials of portable engines are still not fully completed, but the trials of fixed engines are finished. As regards the latter the six competitors were Messrs. Tuxford and Son, the Reading,lronworks Company, Messrs. Clayton, Shuttleworth, and Co., Mr. J. J. Rawlings, Mr. ',II. Kinsey, and Messrs. Deacon and Wood. With an allowance of 141. of coal for each nominal h or se power, and with steam at a pressure of 8 01 b. per square inch, Clayton and Shuttleworth's engines ran 3 hours 9 min. ; Tuxford and Son's, 2 hours 22 min.; and the Reading Company's, 2 hours 261 win. All the double-cylinder portable engines have now concluded their first trial. Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth's 15-horse power engine ran four hours 421 minutes ; Messrs. Ransomes and S ms' 15-horse power engine, three hours 43 minutes ; and Messrs. Tuxford and Son's 14-horse power engine, three hours 181 minutes. Fourteen of the sing,le cylinder engines have now been tried a first time, and six, more were to be tested yesterday. The programme this year provides that each portable engine shall be run a second time with theresistance of the brake increased 50 per cent. ; but the trials have thus far proceeded so slowly that the stewards have put it to the exhibitors whether the first trial should be deemed decisive or not, or whether the second trial should be postponed for some other time and place. It was resolved to go on wit h the trials, although the effect will, of course, be to delay the awards of the prizes. The horse show is a local one; indeed, of the whole 260 horses shown, 123 come from Suffolk, while the adjoining county of Norfolk contributes also a considerable contingent. There is no re flection upon the show for this, as some of the best horse stock in England, especially as regards agricultural horses, is produced in Suffolk. 'The Viceroy of Egypt during his visit to the show, lingered for half an hour by the ring at which the horses were tested, although it rained heavily all the time. Among the thoroughbred stallions, Cap tain Barlow's False Alarm, and Mr. Donald's Scottish Chief, which took the first and second prizes, were especially deserving of notice. False Alarm received recently the thoroughbred prize at the Essex Agricultural Society's meeting, but was passed over a few days later at the Society's meet ing, to the surprise of many. He is a very hand some " crack," bred by Lord Spencer at Althorp. Captain Barlow again came out strong in the brood mare class, with his well-known mare Silverlocks. In the sheep classes, Lord Walsinghams South downs are as elegant, if as small as ever, and they made an excellent figure in the prize list, a result not to be wondered at, as his it l o rdship's s teward (Mr. Woods) is re p uted an authory on the breeding and management of sheep. The long-woolled sheep, formed by a combination of Lincoln, Leicester, and Cotswold blood, appears to be becoming larger a nd lar g er every he O x year. The C o tswolds proper make a fine display, and t ford Downs (obtained originally by crossing Down ewes with Cotswold taps) come out strong. The Shrops hi re Downs appear to have more of the Down cut about them than the Oxford Downs. There is a class or two of black-faced Suffolks, but the breed does not appear to be . making much progress in the county. Suffolk, if not very strong in sheep, has acquired a certain reputation in pig breeding, the t ar exertions of Messrs. Stearn, Sexton, and Crisp having evert h e b l e e e ss n , • theymost h a vhave successfulhee been enincoutnliis erepdla by particular. Mr. N Duckering, of Lincolnshire (who has of late ob tained a large measure of success), Messrs. Howard, of Bedford, and others. Suffolk formerly possessed only a breed of white pigs, but it has gradually esta blished a black breed, which now enjoys a deserved reputation. The show of poultry is large, and represents almost every district in the kingdom. The Royal Horticultural Society has commenced to-day an exhibition of great beauty and merit, near the interesting Botanic Garden, maintained by the elite of Bury, amid the ruins of the great Abbey of St. Edmund. In one circular teat there was a magnificent collection of exotic and other plants arranged with great taste. In an adjoining tent, of considerable length, there was a more mis cellaneous collection of flowers and fruits, presenting everything calculated to gratify and enchant the senses. This exhibition, which will be continued till Friday, comprises groups of foliage and flower.ing plants, fuschias, stove or greenhouse plants, pine lycopods pot apples, orchids, nativeand exotic ferns,. , es ptcotees, pelar vines, cut roses, bunches of grap , goniums, bedding plants, g arden plants, heaths, palms, gloxinias, petunias,verbenas,delphiniums,pea_ stemons, peaches, nec tarines, apricots, figs, cherries, strawberries, melons, and garden products of every description, to say nothing of horticultural imple ments. The wind was so boisterous this morning that one of the tents was partially upset, and some valuable cacti were damaged in consequence. The weather generally to-day has been of a chequered character, more rain falling this afternoon.
