After a few words from Mr. HUM.E, the conversation dropped. SUPPLY. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Suppl y.

Upon the next vote, 20,0001. for New Z3aland, being proposed, Mr. V. SMITH said he wished for information, if it were then convenient to give it, as to the position in lit the Government stood with respect to this colony, It having talt , n from. the New Zealand Company the colony with all its liabilities. HAWES deprecated discussion on the subject at emoment, a s i n a f ew d ays papers wou ld he laid on tabl e of the iiou,e giving the most full information. z Mr. COBD EN considered that the u u:lay on New The re was a sp.. c i men o f their colonial Governm-nt. `'gland, wer e not more t h an 30 000 E uro peans in N'•w and Net th e pe o pl e of England were paying for governor 2,5(10/. a Sear, for a lieutenant-governor, 800/, fie. a chi. f justice, 1.0001., for law officers and el k% 500/ and tor a bishop from 500/ to 6001.

A. Municipal government, like ore of the Sc!oteh hetehs, would answer all the purposes, Mr. HA. tVES sail the suljee'. was ceder the censi &ration of his Noble Friend et the head of the office. He could now state that while in 1849 12 ships of an average of 9,200 tons touched at the ielende, in 1850 no fewer than 23 touched there, with an average tonnage cl 13,622 tons. The vote was agreed to. 15 5001. for Hong- Mr. SCOTT said, looking at Hong-Kong in any point of view, no colony belonging to this country cost so mach. The population was 33,000, of which filte:m sixteenths were Chinese, and about 500 Europeans and Americans; and for the government of these 29,0001 were paid by England. There were only 20 acres of land under cultivation in the whole colony. The trade had fallen off from 294 ships in 1849 to 159 ships in 1850; while the number of persons qualified to serve as common and special jurors hid fallen off v, ry consider ably likewise. The governor and hie aide-de-camp, however, received 6 0001. a year; the col inial secretary and treasurer received nearly the same; and the sur veyor. for surveying these 20 acres of tillage, received 1,2001. a year. The harbour• master receivel 1,1161. a year, while his duties were performed by a Lascar at 300/. per annum. The place was so unhealthy that people would not live there; but nevertheless the salaries of official persons amounted to 12,0001. a year. The only reduction of expense was that of public works of utility, the roads being, iii fact, allowed to fall into de cay, while the cost of government remained at the same figure. He proposed, therefore to reduce the vote by 5,0001. Mr. HAWKS said there seemed little encouragement to the Government to pursuit. a course of economy. The paper hail on the table showed a reduction o 4 500/. on the estimates of last year. The coat of salaries alone In 1845 6 was 35 8001, while the cost in 1849 50 was only 29 1001., being a reduction of 6.6001 in that period Wich respect to public works, the Hon. Geed , min would find by the paper before the House, that, though there had been a great reduction, there bad been no neglect The colony was. no d .übt, an extravagant one; but the reduction made in the cost of iis govern ment had been from 1849—when it was 49,0001—t0 1851, when it was 15,2001. There had been a great in crease of trade in the colony, and from 1848 to 1849 the Population had increased by 8,000. He ti usted, there fore, the House would not agree to the amendment, considering the great importance of that colony to the country. Mr. HUME was very much misinformed if the whole object of the colony had not failed. It was expected to concentrate the trade of Canton, but it had not done so. The time was, therefore, come for the entire review of the establishments of this country in China, especially that of Hongkong. Viscount PALMERSTON said that as a commercial depot Hong-Kong had answered to a great extent. There was a direct trade with many parts of China. But it should not be considered as a commercial station merely —it should also be considered in connexion with its po litical bearing on China. It had been pressed upon him by the Commissioners at the settlement of the *d ors of China, that some spot tree from Chinese caprice should be secured to this country, and Chusan was mentioned; but authorities in this c 'entry thought Hong. Kong pre ferable. It was in his opinion, however, necessary that there should be some spot on the coast of China where British merchants could be free from Chinese caprice, and not placed at the mercy of whatever party hell the government of Canton. Of late there had been a re action in Chinese policy against European intercourse, and attempts had been mad, even to infringe ihe treaty, which, it was hoped, would need no.hing more than re monstrance Bit if the Chinese threw difficulties and obstructions in the way, it was of immense importance to have a central authority for the prorection of British trade and commerce. The Governor of Hong-Kong had civil and criminal jurisdiction, and that formed a consi derable portion of his duties. Under these circumstances, and seeing the importance of Hong-Kong in a political as well as a commercial point of view, he did not think the expense was greater than the considerations which were pleaded for is maintenance. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said Dr. Bowring got only 8001. a year, while the Governor of Hong-Kong, Who could not be for a moment compared to him in point of experience and ability, got 6,0001. That was prepos terous. _ _ Viscount PALMERSTON said Dr. Bowring had per formed his duties with great ability and great success. He should protest against the comparisons drawn be tween the salaries given to Secretaries of States at home said those serving abroad. It should be considered that those officers who were sent to a toreign station often went to an unhealthy climate, were banished from home, and were frequently under great expense. Many valu able lives had teen sacrificed on these stations, and Hun. Gentlemen were often obliged to leave in consequence of ill health. Those who understood the scale of official salaries could bear testimony to the fact that those ap pointed for China were very reasonable. Mr. CLAY said it was highly unjust to compare sala ries of offices at home with those abroad. Mr. HUME thought that 3,000/, was ton much to pay for receiving a duty of 22,000 L; and 1,2001. was too high a salary for the surveyor-general of an island 20 miles in ex eut. Mr. HAW ES said the salaries had been well consi &red, and then fixed at a rare which was thought rea s'inable. Considering the climate of the place it was most ur , juet to niensure the salaries with those in England. Mr. SCOTT said they thought 39 0001. was too large a sum for the government of adch a place. Mr. MACGREGOR was confident the Noble Earl at the head of the Colonial Department would carry out the reductions which he had commenced. When be thought of the confidence with w hich ships went out now to Chinn, he a , seried that Hongkong should be by no me-ms held in light estimation. Captain SCOBELL said what they had to consider was, whether the colony could be governed at a cheaper rate. He thought the salary of the governor was most extravagant. Mr. HAWES said it was not as governor alone he had that salary, but as genera l su p er i ntendent of our trade in China. After a few words from Mr. HUTCHINGS, the Committee divided, when the numbers were— For the amendment Against it ... 39 ... 65 Kijority in favour of the original vote —26 The vote was then agreed to. A sum of 5,5001. was then proposed for the governor and deputy-gook rnor of Labium. Mr. HUME thought the vote was too large for its object. Mr. HAWES said Sir J. Brooke was governor, and Mr. Scott deputy-governor; and that that vo'e had been decreasing every )ear. Iu 1849 it wus 7,8001.; iu 1850, 6,7001., while in 1851 it was only 5,5001. Atter some discussion, in which Mr. Urquhart, Mr. Williams, Mr. flume. and Mr. Anstey, took part, the vote was agreed to without a division. A sum of 25,3311. was then proposed to do fray the expenses of the Colonial Land Emigration Board and offices. Mr. SCOTT said that vote was about 12,0001. more than it had been last year. But when it was considered that about 280,000 emigrants last us every year, be did not think the sum proposed was too great for the objects, b-cause, out of that 280 000, about 120,000 were under the Colonial Land and Emigration Board. The services of these Emigration Commissioners were by no means commensurate with the salaries paid to them, because in proaortion as the expense went on the number of emi grants to their colonies decreased, while those that went to other parts of the world had in proportion increased. He attributed this state of things to the inactivity of their Commissioners. He trusted that the Hon. Gen tleman would consider seriously whether the Board might not be made more effici• nt for the carrying out cf those objects for which it was formed. Mr. HAWES said, that since the year 1847 emigra tion had increased considerably to their Australian co lonies. He must remind him that the emigration which was going on absorbed considerably more than the funds that were appropriated for the purpose by Parliament. It should also be recollected that the colonists, who were, of course, consulted on the matter, desired that only a particular class of emigrants should be sent out, namely, the able bodied men, and those that were enabled by their knowledge of certain mechanical arts to confer per manent advautage upon the colonies. As Parliament had not allowed funds enough to meet the whole ex panses of emigration, it was deemed necessary to raise more fund s b y l an d sa l es i n t h e co l on i es . Wi t h the se , however, the Commissioners had nothing whatever to do. The Colonial office had considered this question mist fully, and attar the utmost deliberation thy came to the opinion that it was impossible the business of ensi graiion coulsl be carried on in a better, more economical, or more soeces , ful manner than under the system adopted by the present Emigration Board. Mr. HUME thought that as th e H on. M em b er h a d o whom against h a e p c u o b n i t i r e a d ct ep w a u r u tra ld en b t e , s aid he was ready to repeat that from and that some e xplanation w as required. sgtiavteend, a t h ch at arg h e e w k a n s ow ns a i de whose tend er would be accepted, had bsen o ff er ed he k 30 per c ent , hi gher than the theMmr.oSmCen(lThre heard that tende rs although rw i e the others. thatgen tl, tendernians Mr. HUME thought that such a statement required some answer. He wished, also, to know, as the number of Commissioners had been increased, whether they were all fully employed? Mr. HAWES, in answer to the first remark, said, he thought when the lion. Gentleman opposite said be knew to whom the contract would be given, that be merely meant to say that he supposed it would be given to a certain person. Ho was sure the limi• Gen ( lerresa did not mean to impute to the Cotnn3issionera any Unfair dealing in the matter. In selecting which tender to ac cept, the Commissioners had to consider not merely the amount, but various other circumstances. With respect to the duty of the Commissioners, he could assure the Hon. Member for Montrose that no public officers were more laboriously employed than the Commissioners were. Mr. GOULD thought that Southampton would be a more Futtanie plate than Deptford for the embarkltion of emizrants. The det6i at Deptford was a most in convenient one. Th. vo'e was then agreed to. 60,0001. for the expense, &c., of ca2tured negroes. Mr. HUME thought this vote ought not to b e agr e e d i to until the Committee were utornied whether the African squadron was still to be continued. H e w i s h e d also to hear some statement as to what had been done with rerereeco to the al ve trade during the last year. Viscount PALM ERS lON said the Committee would recoil, et that in the discussion on the subject last year assuranceswere given that rne4surea wouldbe taken to add to th e e tli c i i ecy o f t h e f orce which had for some time In en employed. In cons* quence of that greater stringency had been exercised, both on the coast of Aftiosi sud on the coast of Brazil, which, he was glad to LONDON, .gy, had been attended with very great success; indeed, with a more rapid success than could have been ex peered. On the coast of Africa the slave trade might be said to be for the moment aemost ext.eguished north of the line. With the s xception of only two places, Lagos and Porto Novo, near Whydah, the British cruisers had spoilt the slave trade at other pieces; so much so, that those who had hitherto traded in slaves now dealt in ivory and other products of the country. Persons connected with the natives stated that the slave trade existed only in the minds of those chiefs who got presents and profits from the slave dealers, but that the bulk of the pe iple were ex ceedingly commercially inclined, and were anxious to buy European commodities with any produce of the country which Europeans would take. For a long time they had never taken anything bat slaves; but now they preferred ivory and other products of the country. En deavours were also making to extend the cultivation of the cotton plant, and specimens had been sent to Man chester, which had been reported to be of a very valua ble kind, likely to fetch a high price in the Manchester market. As far, therefore, as related to the coast north of the line, the slave trarte had been almost put an end to. In the Portuguese settlements the slave trade had also very much diminished. The Government of Por tugal bad cordially, and be believed sincerely, co-operated with the British officers. Some of the inferior officers of the Portuguese settlements still yielded to the temp tations of the slave-dealers; but at Benhuela and Loan dos the sieve trade might be said to be paralysed. Many of the slave-traders had suspended their business, and had turned to traffic of a different kind. On the southern coast the Imaum of Muscat, during the last year, had afforded facilities for checking the trade, and the result had been that in ono river in the south of the Inesuires dominions, where a great trarte was carried on for the supply of B azil, barracoons had been destroyed capable of holding 5 Out) slaves. On the coast of Africa. therefore, by the greater vigilance of the cruisers, by means of those treeti s made with the native chiets, and which he was happy to say many of them had observe d with great fidelity—by the progress made in Liberia—and by the co-operation of the au , horities in the Portuguese settlements—great progress had been made in checking tee trade. He was happy also to add, that the most cordial and perfect co-operation hal prevailed between the British cruisers and those of France and America, and that our commodore had expressed iu the strongest terms the great obligations he owed to the active and zealous supp It and ca operation be had received from the French and American forces employed.—( Hear.) The great place to which the slave trade of Africa hart been directed was to the coast of Brazil, and statements had been made before the Committee on this subject of the enormous amount f slaves that were landed on that coast. In the early part of last year the British cruisers which had be-en for a long time detained in the River Plate in consequence of our differences with the Go vernment of Bit. nos Ayres, were concentrated on the coast of Brazil, where their operations began to be much more ec,ive and off-etual. Communications had taken place with the Government of Brazil, and the result, as had been stated by his N 4sle Friend in the early part of the session, was, that the Brazilian Government, in Septembsr last, passed an additional law for the preven tion et the slave trade by declaring it to be piracy, and bad at last exerted that vigilance, and put forth that power, which, in his opinion, it was always in their power to have done if they chose.—(Hear, hear.) The effect had been the almost total extinction of the slave trade in Brazil. The number of slaves imported into Brazil in 1850 was not above half the number brought to the country in former years. The greater number was al Nays brought in the early part of the s ear, but in the first quarter of the present year, up to the Ist of April, very few slaves had been brought to Brazil. The number had been stated at only a few hundreds, instead of the thousands that used formerly to be imported. The Government of Brazil had cooperated most sin cerely and most t ffectually in fulfilling the obligations of the treaty between Brazil and England, in carrying into effect the law. They, in this country, bad always laboured under a great mistake in supposing that the Brazilian nation, as a nation, would cling to the slave trade. The fact was, that it was only a certain number of Portuguese families, of great influence, that main tained the traffic ; and the opinion in favour of it was a factitious opinion, and not the opinion of the Brazilians themselves. Within the last two years there had grown up in Brazil a powerful, active, and intelligent anti-slave trade party, with newspapers devoted to their cause, and enforcing their opinions in the Parliament of Brazil. He believed he might say that a large majority of the Brazilians were opposed to the slave trade, and that the party in its favour was a very small one, and consisted chiefly of foreigners. The result had been, that the Brazilian Government had employed several cruisers to co-operate with the British cruisers in seizing slave-trading vessels. They had de stroyed the baracoons along the whole extent of their coast and had brought to trial the person.; accused of slave-trading. They had captured slaves who had been landed and dispersed in plantations, and they had exer cised, in one or two cases, the powers given them by the constitution, of banishing persons notoriously engaged in the slave trade, who, from some technical difficulties, could not be brought under the jurisdiction of the courts. Having been informed that a great number of these Portuguese tredsrs had left Brazil and had g.ne to Por tugal, he had written to our consuls at Oporto and Lisbon on the subject, and had learned that no fewer than 140 of these traders had gone to Portugal—had there invested their gains, giving up the slave trade in despair —(Hear, hear.) He had also been told by a naval °Meer who arrived from Brezil the other day, that one person engaged in the slave trade had lost, from first to list, in that trade, 65 vessels by capture, valued at 2,500/ each; so that the Committee might judge the loss inflicted by our squadron, when this one trader had lost in ctea.equence of it vessels of the value of 200 000/. —(Hear, hear.) Another proof that the Brazilians had given up the practice of slavery was to be found in the fart of a capital of 1,200,0001., which had been engaged in the slave-trade operations, having been invested in a hank in Lisbon. A most fortuea.e change.—(Hear.) In a debate recently in the Brsz Ilan Parliament, he found the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senhor Olinda, expressing in the strongest terms his censure of the slave trade, condemning it, and declaring it had been so condemned by the voice of all nations. Gliers, tot', dwelt upon the pernicious and demoralising effects which the slave trade had produced in their own countries.-- (Hear, hear.) And, indeed, they had received a pretty good lesson on the subjeet in the terrible pestilence which had been imported from Africa, and that had carried away so many persons of influence as well as such numbers of the populace. In tact the results were far greater than her Majesty's Government could have hoped to have found them It was hoped they would b e p ermanent, prov id e d t h ere was t h e same pro visions and watchfulness kept up for a time. In Africa the natives were finding the advantage of being engaged in a legitimate trade ; they found it more profitable than a slave trade, whilst in Brazil it was begun to be seen that slave labour was more costly, more expensive, and more dangerous than free labour. The Government discovered this, in the explosion of a powder magazine, which had been worked by slaves—they found it, too, in their arsenals and other places where slaves were employed, and where a considerable cost was occasioned by having persons to oversee slave., and to use the whip in keeping them to their work. The change of opinion in Brazil was most encouraging and gratifying, and he believed he might congratulate the House upon the suc cess of their long-contiaued efforts to put down the slave ;rade. Sir J. PAKINGTON heard with satisfaction tha statement of the Noble Lord; but ho doubted that they would succeed in suppressing the slave trade, whe❑ they encouraged it by taking the pro,luce of slave labour. — (Cheers.) He wished to know from the Noble Lord when the documents referred to in the Queen's Speech would be laid ou the table, and also whether there had not been an increase of the slave trade in Cuba? Lord PALNIERSTON replied—The papers were in preparation, and would be laid on the table in a few days. As to Cuba. they had the promi-e of the Spanish Gov , Arnment to discountenance the import of slaves. After a few words from Mr. DENISON, _ Mr. HUME considered that the change on which the 1 Noble Lord congratulated himself might have been at- Wiled long since if the Noble Lord had withdrawn the fleet, and induced the Brazilian and Spanish Govern ments to fulfil their engagements—to act in the manner in which they appeared to have been doing of late. Mr. M. FORSTER considered the Noble Lord and the Government entitled to great credit for having per severed in their policy, notwithstanding the opposition that had been made to it by a considerable party in that H arse. Sir T. ACLAND also jnined in the congratulations of the House upon the success of the policy of the Noble Lord. Sir E N BUXTON also congratulated the Noble Lord on the success of his efforts in - the suppression of the slave trad-. It was said this would hay been done without the fleet on the coast of Africa. That was a mistaken opinion. The change in Brazil was produced by its having been seen last year that this was made a Government question, and that the best exertions would be made to put an end to this horrible traffic.—(l.lear.) Lord J. RUSSELL would hardly have thought it necessary to say a word on the present occasion, had it not been nee 'scary to prevent the House from being led away by what had tallen from the Hon. Member for Montrose. The Hon. Member advised the House to consent to withdraw the African squadron—which, if done, the Hon. Member considered the slave trade would now cease. He must beg the House to believe if this advice were taken Oa; the result would not be as sup. posed, but that we should again behold all the horrors of the slave trade fully revived.—(Hear.) He was not giving his own opinion only, but he was also giving that of the g a ll an t a d m i ra l who bad just returned from the coast of Afric a , an d w h o said if we continued the Afri can squ a d ron f or a 1-w years more we should find that we were a bl e great l y to dinsish the expense of that squa dron, b ut, certai tempt t o continuein uc the their the sqthatuadron altogether. it t h ß e 'O G Lll ( d )ve n r o n t m b e e n s t w in their eto r e , i d r reduce altogether.

He thanked the Noble Lord for the support he had given to this question. Lord H. VANE attributed, in a great degree, the suppresion of the slays trade to the co-operation of the Braz - le rather than to the effects of the squadron. If we cultivated a good endcrstanOing wich the Brazils we should be able to attain our object much earlier than by the adoption of the proposition for conatructing new EVENING, vessels. lle was gratified at the good that had already been done, but he did not place entire reliance in the I expectations ctiterained of suppressing the slave trade altogether, though ct,rtainly such a consummation would be most ecteeeeh!e to him. Mr. HUNIE wished so know what proportion of the 34,000 captured slaves had been liberated and sent to the West Indies? Mr. HAWES was not prepared to answer the question at that moment. The vote was then agreed to. On the next vote, for 14 750/. for the expenses of the mixed Commission for suppressing the slave trade with foreign powers, Mr. HUME asked if the vacancies which had recently oecurred were to be filled up? Viscount PALMERSTON said he hoped the expenses of the commission would be reduced very soon, and no unnecessary vacancies would be filled tap. The vote was agreed to. On the next vote for 148,490/, for the expenses of the consular establishments abroad, Mr. URQUIIART moved that the chairman report progress, as it was understood no money was to be voted after twelve o'clock, and this motion was a sort of retalia tion for what Government had done the other night. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the Hen. Member would allow the votes to proceed. Mr. URQUHART said there was a matter of great importance involved in the vote the House were about to enter upon; and exhausted as the House was by pre vious discussion, he should press his motion for the chairman to report progress. Colonel SIBTHORP thought the vote important, and that the motion ought to he acceded to. After a few words from Mr. C. LEWIS in explanation, Mr. BROTHER TON explained the motive for moving the adjournment the other night, which he declared was done without any concert with Government. Mr. HU.IE thought the Hen. Member's motion for reporting pregrese was reasonable. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped the estimates would have been finiehed by Friday night, but it' the House progressed at the present rate he was afraid the estimates would not be closed before next week, instead of the present week. He had hoped the House would have been able to adjourn the first or secend week in August; but he feared if the estimates were so protracted it would postpone the adjournment of the House to the middle or the end of August. Mr. WILLIAMS said it had Even the practice of the House fir years not to vote money after twelve o'clock, and he considered the practice ought not to be departed from. After a few words from Colonel SIBTHORP, Lord J. RUSSELL said he should have no ohjt:ction to agree to the rule of not voting money after twelve o'clock at night; but it must be reeoll , cted that when the estimates cane on it frequently happened that three or four hours were devoted to discussion. The Committee then divided, when there appeared — For reporting progress ... 26 Against it ... 107 Majority ...---81 Mr. HUM E moved that the Chairman report progress. Lord J. RUSSELL said it would be impossible to proceed if the Honourable Member persisted with his motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it would be impossible to say when the session would terminate if so much time was occupied with motions preliminary to going into Committee of Supply. Mr. REYNOLDS denied that he had been a party to wasting the time of the House. After some discussion, The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. The report of the Committee of Supply was then brought up and agreed to. On the motion f it. the second reading of the Convey ance of Mails by Railways Bill, Mr. REYNOLDS said there was a long list of op posed Irish Bills on the paper, and he therefore moved the adjournment of the House. Lord J. RUSSELL said he had no intention of press ing on any opposed Irish Bill. The motion fur the adjournment was then withdrawn and the second reading of the Bill postponed. All the Irish Bills were then postponed. with the ex ception of the Constabularary Force (Ireland) Bill, which was read a second time. The Merchant Seamen's Fund Bill passed through Committee, and the money clause was added. Sir W. SOMERVILLE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to continue certain temporary provisions relating to the collection of grand jury cess in Ireland; and also to provide for the due annexation of an isolated district, formerly of the county of Dublin, to a barony of the county of Wicklow, for the purposes of grand jury cess, and other purposes. Mr. BAINES obtained leave to bring in a Bill to con tinue the Act for charging the maintenance of certain poor persons in unlons in England and Wales upon the common fund; and to make certain amendments in the laws for the relief of the poor. The other business was then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter pest One o'clock. Mr. Scully paired tor, a itti Mr. Bouverie against, Mr. Reynolds's motion o❑ the grant to the Dublin hospitals. Mr. Stuart Knox was accidentally shut out from voting in favour of the annual grant to the Dublin hos pitals. ROYAL AGRICUL7 URAL SOCIETY. The annual meeting of this important society takes place this week in the Horne park of Windsor. Halt surrounded by ancestral trees, and leoki d dawn upon by the north terrece of the lieyal Castle, the encamp ment of :Agriculture presents an unusually striking and picture clue appearance. Close at hand is the station of the Soutn-Western Railway, affording every facility for the arrival and departure of visitors. Never before has the society had a site better adapted for its purposes, and never before has it presen ed itself before the public under a more favourable and encouraging aspect. By arrangements early adopted in connexion with the great Exhibition, the show yard is relieved of the implement department, the contents of which occupy a conspicuous place in the Crystal Palace. Yet it appears little, it at all, curtailed o f it s usua l p roport i ons , an d the space which has hitherto been devoted to agricultural machines is now filled with a magnificent display of live stock. Instead of ploughs, scarifiere, portabie steam-engiee't and such like, we have an enlarged exhibition of breeds in all the divisions, and a greatly increased entry of stock for c mp t.ition. The society have extended the number of their classes, and have, with becoming spirit, and in harmony with the year 1851, given a wider scope and character to their show. Ttie number of besets ex hi " bited is 1,267, an altogether unprecedented anount, the entries last year being only about 700. Then an im proved arrangement of the classes has been adopted, which gives more distinctness and value to the whole display. Formerly, in cattle, tor instance, it was cus tomary to distribute the animals into four divisions,- - one for short-horns, a second for Herefords, a third for Devons, and a fourth for mixed breeds. Under this latter head elm() a confused gathering of every kind of beast rejected from the three favourite descriptions, and thus attention was diverted from those peculiar excel lences which several kinds of stock possess, and which entitle them to the regard and consideration of the agri culturist. Now tais is changed, and there is no longer a miscellaneous grouping recognised. Instead thereof, we have the long-horns, the Sussex, the Channel Islands breed, the horned and polled Scotch, the Welch and Irish, all properly classified. Foreigners who visit the show may collect there with perfect ease a correct idea of the various kinds of cattle with which the United Kingdom is supplied. They ma y estimate fairly their various qualities, an d t h e manner i n w hich they , aro adapted to fulfil their different uses in our agricul tural system. For the first time since i:s annual shows began the society presents the public with on epitome of British stock. Until this eventful year, they appeared reluctant to pass beyond the Tweed for illustrations of Scotch breeds, though these were often the favourites of the eastern counties' graziers, and in the same wa y the peculiar advantages of the Channel Islands' cows for dairy purposes was almost entirely ignored. Now we have all sorts represented in the Home Park of Windsor, and it is to be hoped that our agriculturists will profit by an occasion which brings prominently before their notice descriptions of stock the merits of which they may have previously overlooked or undervalued. Nature, when in her bounty she supplied our favoured country with a variety of breeds adapted to its climate and soil, did so for beneficent and usetul ends. It is, therefore, our duty to further and fulfil her intentions, by en couraging in each class, without favour or preference, those excellences of shape or size upon which their merits respectively depend. Thus in the completeness and in the extent of the shoo; made by it, the Royal Agricultural Society pre sents itself this year to the public under the most fa vourable and hopeful aspect. From its organization politics are rigidly excluded, and in the conduct of its business no member, however it fluentiel, can enter upon that debateable territory without being immediately snubbed for his audacity. Yet to those who stand without its pale observation and comment are open, and it certainly is a most remarkable circumstance that while the landed interest are represented as suffering from an unexampled and hopeless depression, the Royal Agri cultural Society should come forward so buoyant, so full of increased strength and of future promise. The force of events i 5 always superior to the influences of party, and while Protection bemoans the uselessness of improvements which can never be remunerative, the Royal Agricultural Society day by day becomes a more powerful machine for securing to the people the bles sings of untaxed food. It revives by its action that confidence in the land which perverse lamentations over the repeal of the corn-laws tend to destroy. By its journal it is constantly supplying fresh streams of scientific and practical knowledge to the farmer, and by its annual shows it stimulates to increased excel lence and increased production—our only true protec tion against competition, whether it comes from home or from abroad. As an example of what British agri culture is capable, and as illustrating the impott mce which is attexched to superior breeds of stock, we may mention a fact which came within our cognizance yes terday when visiting the show-yard. Mr. Jonas Webb, who, it will be seen from the list appended, is a winner of seven prizes for his Southdown sheep, h as , at hi s usual annual letting this year, received us hire for the use of a ram, which, though exhibited at E xeter, was not successful there, the sum of 99 guineas. Our great breeders now have their flocks eagerly sought after by foreign purchasers. So much is this the Case ' that at an agricultural show recently held in Fran ce all the best animals exhibited had been imported from England, and at peeling an extensive - commission has been givthe prase nt en by Prince Deaodoff, the owner of the malachite ornaments in the Crystal Palace, to have a goo d breed ing stock bought for grim, which he intends sending out to Russia. such is the estimation in which our breeds of live stock are held by the foreigners , whose competi tion OUZO the fointrimice4 British fanner. TUESDAY 1851. JULY 15, The Queen and Prince Albert visited the showyard yesterday while the judges were engaged in making their awards. This is, we believe, the first rime that her Mr,- Jesty has honoured a meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society with her presence. She wasreceivsd by the Duke of Richmond, the President; Mr. Brandreth Gibbs, ho norary director of the show ; Messrs. Stokes, Jonas, and Milward, the stewards of cattle, &c. ; Mr. Barker, the steward of finance, and Mr. Hudson, the excellent sectetary of the society, who was presented to her Ma jesty by his Grace. The royal party remained for some time in the yard, and the Queen appeared espe cially interested and delighted with her visit, which was even extended to a survey of the dinner pavilion. Her Majesty paid most attention to the South Down sheep, the horses, and the pigs. After the adjudication of the awards yesterday we were enabled to take a hasty survey of the display of stock, and now proceed briefly to record our general impression as to its character. Ia the first place, then, and as a whole, the Show is not only in quantity, but in quality, which is more important, decidedly su perior to any of its predecessors. The South Down sheep, the short-horns, the Herefords, and the pigs, are its strongest points, and are of surpassing excellence. In the first Mr. Jonas Webb car rises everything before him, and completely beats out of the field, with his Cambridgeshire stock, the Sussex breeders. The first prize short-horned bull is an exceedingly showy-looking and fine animal, but has one defect which it seems questionable whether the judges were right in overlookin. In all the classes of cattle the female specimens are particularly good, and excel thcs'male. This is an unusual characteristic of the so ciety's shows, but is regarded as satisfactory, and as indi cating increased attention and success in breeding. Of the porcine display, the public will hear with pleasure that it possesses its usual attractiveness. Mr. Fisher Hobbs does not present himself this year in the field for coaipeti'ion, but his improved Essex stock is there in in creased force modified occasionally by the admixture of other blood, and fresh christened accordingly in the Ca talogues The multiplication of names for eutir' ly similar descriptions of the animal threatens soon to be come a serious nuisance, and to create contusion in one's estimate, not only of palters. but of pork. There is a fine show of Leicester and of Cotswold sheep. which will attract much attention. Suffolk pusches carry off the chief priz .s in the class of horses. The wilch cows from the Cc alinsl Islands and trom Ayrshire deserve especial notice. Ii the present meeting does no other good then to draw attention by a large display of these animals to the gross in glect of the milk supply of the metropolis, whicu the agriculture of Surrey, lier.t, and Essex pre sents, it will have done a vast public service. Of all artificial systems that of producing milk in town dairies is 'he most objectionable It is c Tinily unjust and cruel to the animal which yields the fluid, and to the human being who imbibes it. One other point remains to be noticed before we give the list of prizes. It is that Mr. Simonds, the veterinary surgeon of the society, attended the judges yesterday and pointed out to them such defects in the constitution or health of the animals as disqualified them for bsing included in their awards. These awards are as frlltess: AWARD OF PRIZES. LONG HORNS. CLASS I. In this subdivision the thist prize of 101. was withheld on account of insufficient merit. SHORT HORNS.

We are requested by Mr. Paxton to publish the ollowing letter : "TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD CAMPBELL. "My Lord,—l take the liberty of addressing the pre sent letter to your Lordship, feeling confident you will be glad to receive any information likely to correct the misloprebentions under which 3 f.O appear to labour re specting tee construction. stability, and suitableness of the Crystal Palace to be retained as a permanent building. "From your Lordship's reported speech in the House of Peers on Friday last, it appears you had founded your principal objections to the building remaining as a winter park and garden upon information derived from an anonymous pamphlet, very much calculated to mislead you, and which, it truN would furnish grave objections to the continuance of the a:ructure for the purposes I have suggested. The tarots to which I alias are these—that the building, as at present constructed, is not stable enough to be put to any permanent use, being both frail and transient; an i that the only way to preserve it would be to take the whole of it down and rebuild it. " That two•thirds of the columns of support are made of wood, which will in a short time perish, and, the girders being of the same, are only calculated to endure for one season. " That the sashes and other portions of woodwork would endure only for a very limited period, and would then have to be replaced at a great cost. " In adding my corrections to these mistakes I might just mention that from the very commencement, when preparing my original plans of the budding, my views were to make it iu every way suitable to be appropriated to a permanent use, which fact I mentioned to Lord Brougham and many others. The entire framework and strength of the structure, as it now stands, is therefore composed of wrought and cast iron fixed securely Loge', ' ther and firmly kit dded in a concrete foundation , 0, 33 2_ with ordinary attention to painting, this, the most ',if, portant pelt of tee edifice. will last for ages to oonie,w"-u made of but hale repairs ef any kind being necessarye is " Every column on which the house restsior , ~ roW are iron; the intermediate on•s in the e%e- the sashes. m , rely placed there for effect, and to dirr or ,_ , staoility of posed of wrought but have nothing to do with the EaPP" the building, rt o r the framework an ti d ut other " All the girders which form pa com and security t.f . the structure aid cast iron.

" order to render the buildinx as it now stands fit for a winter garden, considerable . expenses must be in curred, en estimate of which I shall shortly be able to lay belore the public; but, without at this time enter lug into financial particulars, I am convincied that %nen once formed the after expenses fur main tenance could be easily sustained without a public, grant, and that the tortes of admissi,,n could be made such as to suit the position and wants of all classes of individuals.
