That the general e.Uttes at Cambridge having resolved
that it be referred to the council whether the Kew observa-
tory should be discontinued, a committee had been appointed
to collect information as to the scientific purposes which that
establishment bad served, and as to its general usefulnese—
the result was a resolution by the committee that the esta-
blishment be maintained in its present state of efficieu7,
because it afforded to the association, at an inconsiderable
expense a local habitation, and a convenient repository for
its books, papers, and apparatus—because it had been the
means of prosecuting many physical inquiries—because the
grant of occupancy by her Majesty was a proof of the interest
her Majesty took in the objects of the association,
while, if it were now to be relinquished it might
never again be available for the purposes of science,
u well as for several other reasons—with this resolution
of the committee, the council concurred; that the council had
received a letter from the Secretary of the Scientific Insti-
tute at Cheltenham regretting that circumstances had
arisen which would not enable them to give to the British
Association that cordial welcome they would wish to give
them, should they determine on visiting that town, sod
which they could have given, had such 'fait taken place in
the present year. That the council had no invitations
from the towns of Oxford, Norwich, and Swansea, for
future years.
The report on the motion of the Marquis of NORTHAMP-
TON, seconded by the MAYOR, was received and adopted.

The lists of members for the various sectitnal committees
suggested by the committee of recommendation, was read
and adopted.
Sir It. I. MURCHISON (the president elect) said—lt has
been generally understood that his Royal Highness Prince
Albert intends to honour the association with his presence
on this occasion. That such is his intention there can be
now no doubt—(applause)—and I propose that weshall confer
on his Royal Highness that only honour which we have to
give—that's, to create an especial place for him, and declara
him to be the one and only honorary member of this asso-
ciation. (Cheers
The Marquis or NORTHAMPTON seconded the proposition,
which was put by the President, and carried by general
acclamation.

The town is rapidly filling, but owing to the admirable
arrangements made by the committee, no difficulty has yet
been experienced by the numerous visitors in obtaining suffi-
cient accommoiation. Prince Albert is not expected until
to-morrow afternoon.

ROYAL BUCKS AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.
AYLESBURY, WEDNESDAY; EVENING.—The annual
festival of the Royal Bucks Agricultural Association took
place to-day, at the George Hotel, and the attendance was
more numerous than on previous occasions.
The day commenced with a ploughing match, and a dis-
tribution of prizes to meritorious labourers and servants.
The prizes for ploughing were competed for by 24 ploughs;
and three ploughmen who had obtained prizes last year,
competed for the trial stakes. The da. was very fine, and
the performances of the various competitors gave great satis-
faction to all present. The trials took place in a field belong-
ing to Mr. Morris, one mile on the Wendover-road.
For the dinner, the large room at the George was hand-
somely decorated with various devices. Shortly after 6
o'clock the Duke of Buckingham took the chair, supported
by Mr. G. C. Dupre, M.P., the Hon. Captain Fitzmau-
rice, M.P., Mr. Rice Clayton, M.P., and several influential
neighbours. After the dinner, which was of the usual
description, " Non noble, Domino" was sung, and the routine
toasts were given and responded to.
Captain HIRRERT then proposed the health of his Grace
the Duke of Buckingham and Chau:idea.
The Duke of BUCICINOHAM-I beg to acknowledge, with
the deepest feelings of gratitude, the friendly spirit you have
just manifested towards me. For many years I have devoted
myself to the promotion of the interests of agriculture, and
of agricultural associations, such as that over which I have
the honour now to preside. This and similar associations
were founded at a time of great peril to the farmers of this
country. They were formed for the protection of the farmer
in a time of great exigency, and I certainly look back with
I sincere pleasure on the time since which I commenced my
labours, and to the circumstances by which they have been
attended. I am proud and gratified to find, that,
at our successive anniversary meetings, we have
nit diminished in numbers, nor declined in strength.
We have exerted ourselves to the extent of our power, and
though we have not been entirely successful, we have
averted much threatened mischief. For myself lam bound
to declare that I never feel so happy as when I am engaged
In the promotion of agriculture, because I am fully per-
suaded that it not only tends to the advantage of a large and
influential class of the community, but also to the benefit of
the country at large. I will not detain you farther on the
present occasion than to express to you my deep sense of
thankfulness for the honour you have thus conferred upon
me. (Loud cheers.) After some songs,
The Duke of BUCKINGHAM again rose and said—l now
come to a tout which is a very important one, and after that
will come the chief business we have on hand, namely, the
distribution of prizes to the per ons to whom they have been
awarded. I cannot introduce this toast to your notice with-
out making one or two remarks upon it. The society was
founded in 1832, and was intended to be a means for the
promotion of the agricultural interests. (Hear, hear.) It
affords me unqualified gratification and delight, to
inform you that the amount distributed this year
to the labourers, for whose benefit the society was founded,
was 1,0031. 175. Cel. The number of members has increased
to 1,100. When I remember that the primary object of the
society is to relieve those industrious families who by honest
industry have rendered it unnecessary for them to apply for
parochial assistance, I feel thankful for having been allowed
to take so prominent a part in its affairs, more particularly
when I reflect that our proceedings this day will teach the
labouring man that honesty is the best policy. It is with
deep regret I allude to the occurrences of the past year—a
ye sr which will never be forgotten by the farmers of this
country. To retrieve the errors of the put, and to regain our
former position, will probably be a work of time ; but we
shall assuredly gain the victory at last. As far us my humble
abilities will permit, I will strain every nerve to prevent the
party who recently. betrayed us from ever being in a position
to do the same again.
The noble Chairman concluded by proposing "Prosperity
to the Royal Bucks Agricultural Association."
The health of the county members having been proposed,
Mr. C. G. DUPRE returned thanks, observing that under
existing circumstances it would be better to do so without
any harsh expression of feeling towards those by whom the
" diuders "of the late session bad been created. It was a
matter of sincere regret to him (Mr. Dupn"..) that there had
been found so many men in the House of Commons, who
had violated the pledge which returned them to parliament"
and power, and who had betrayed their constituents. He
deeply regretted that they had intrusted themselves to the
keeping of at least one man, whom they. supposed the true
pilot who would have steered them safely into port, but who,
on the contrary, had falsely and treacherously ran them
amongst the breakers.
Other toasts having been drunk, and the prizes distributed
to the successful competitors, the company separated at a late
hour.
