ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE. PREVENTION
OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

Yesterday the 23rd annual meeting of the above
society was held at the Hanovirequare Rsoms, and was
numerously attended. His Grace the Duke of Beaufcrt
presided.
The report slated that the principles of the society
had continued to progress during the past year, and
that the dimemination of humane feeling' wiude
the brute creation had diminished the necessity of
bequeath appealing to the law for their protection.
The bill for the more effectual prevention of cruelty to
animals which had been introduced into parliament by the
Duke of Beaufort would won pars into law, and a consi-
derable improvement would thereby be achieved. The com-
mittee recommended that the society should promote the
preparation and presentation of petitions against the con-
tinuums of Smithfield market es • public /miasma.
as strikingly prejudicial to the health of the community, sod
the source of constant animal suffering. Tee constalges
of the society were continually witnesses to eases where
animals were treated with the utmost brutality, but
which they could not bring before a magistrate because they
could not connect " wantonness " with these acts the ann.
nem of the area of the market, compared with the number of
baste crowded into it (sometime' so many as 30,000) render-
' Mg the employment of cruel and revolting measures neces-
sary to enable the drovers to make the animals pas inroad
out of it. The attention of the society's constables had been
also directed to the metropolitan and county distric's, and a
considerable improvement was reported in the con-
duct of the driven of animals used on pleasure
excursions at the various watering places, &o. The commit-
tee stated else that auxiliary somata had been established
at Wells, and those already in existence at Plymouth, Glou-
cester, Norwich, Belf at, Bristol. Devor.port, Statehouse,
dc.„ were extending their operations. and the number of
their supporters. They also appealed to the humane to co-
operate with them in the attempt to put down steeple chas-
ing ; and referred to the occurrences at the late Liverpool
steeple chase, when three horses were deprived of life in
consequence of accidents, in illustration of the barbarity of
the practice. They had else directed their attention to en-
deamiring to procure a mon humane mode of conveyance
on railways for animals, sad ham:wired extensive assurances
of co-operation from the railway functionaries. A prize of
10 guineas bad been placed at the dirpoial of the committee
in June last bye benevolent lady, fin the best easy on the
value and importance d the society, which war
awarded to Mr. J. Spear, who had presented the amount to
the society. Prises of 51. and 21. had been offered to the
scholars of Christ's Hospital, for essays on the subject of
Cruelty to Animals, and they had beep awarded to Messrs.
H. Crowd and B. Gill. Some donations of c-nsiderable
amount having been acknowledged. they concluded by stat-
ing that a benevolent lady had established a class at the Bela'
National School, at Nottag-hill, for the purpose of inculcat-
ing kindness to the brae (treatise, and thus preventing the
exercise of cruelty for the future.
The report having been adopted,
The Bishop of PETERBOROUGH moved a vote of
thanks to the Irmorah officers of the society, which was
seconded by Mr. G. BIBRUILIIIY, al P., supported by Lord
D. STuAnT, and carried unanimously.
On the motion of Mr. Musaorr, the thanks of the meet-
ing were given to the Duke of Beaufort, the Duke of Argyll,
the Bishop of Oxford, and the other n-bleinen and gentle-
men who supported the new measure f.r the more effectual
prevention of cruelty to animals.
Kamm Crowd and GU. having been presented by his
grate with the primes which were awarded to arm, the pro-
seedless terminated with the usual rote of Meets to the
chairman. aria •
