A special general court of the governors of the above asylum
was held yesterday, at the Institution, for the purpose of
electing 10 children from abet of candidates ; Charles Eva
1.1 m., occupied the chair. There was more than usual
interest on the present occasion, as the cat bad been
conducted with considerable energy. Thing lasted
from 12 to 3 o'clock, when the auccesaful candidates were
announced. The chairman took that oppoetunityol informing
the friends of the children that they should be thereon Wed-
nesday, so that the girls might undergo a medical examina-
tion prior to their adminion into the institution on Satur-
day next. Mr. Davies, the secretary, informed the court that
as the girls were to be brought up as domestic SWIM*
their friends were not allowed to interfere with the ram
of the asylum. Every care was taken to obtain for them
comfortable and respectable situations, and they genitally
turned out very well. Lately those who bad been a
Cecil from the institution had attended divine servVL
return thanks publicly, and had reoeived the usual gra-
tufty of five guineas for good conduct. A vote of Oman
was proposed to the chairman ; and Mr. Bockett, of Clap
ham, in seconding it, said he and his family had been sub-
ecribenfor generation' past, and be had at present two ser-
vants in his family that were brought up in the institu-
tion, and very excellent
.young women they were. Be had
had particular pleasure in having obtained the election of
• thud that day. The vote was carried unanimously. Mr.
Davies said that during the ensuing spring there would be
• triennial dinner, and the committee would be glad to re-
ceive the names of stewards. There would also be • sale
of needlework, to which her Majesty bad given her especial
patronage. _ _

BRTTISH ARYLOY YON Masi AND DUMB FINAL"
Honritrote—On t3unday last a sermon was
on behalf of this charity: at St Thomas's Ch Upper
Olaptoo, by the Rev. O. J. Heathoote, M.A., to a large amid
influential congregation. The rev. gentleman took for his
text, Gal., vi. chap. v. " Bear ye one another's burdens,
and so fulfil the law of Mist." In adverting to the history
of the charity, he stated that there were nearly 17,000 deaf
and dumb in Great Britain, of whom about 9,000 were
tansies, the greater proportion being entirely uneducated,
sad without the means of Pelf-support. The asylum for
which he pleaded was the only one m the kingdom which
had for its object' the education and industrial training of
adult deaf and dumb females, besides providing • home for
the aged and infirm, and had bean now in exiatanoe for nine
yearly doing great good. Several inmates from the asylum
woe }newt during Divine service, which was conveyed to
their undembaradini with remarkable ease by the master GI
the odes, Yr. Murray, B.A. The collection amounted
to more than 501.;distepective of separate subscriptions and
donations.
ME COVENTRY Diwrumu.—The following has
been presented to the Mayor of Birmingham by the Clergy
of the Rural Deanery :—" To the Worshiriful the Mayor of
Birmingham,—The memorial of the undereigned incumbents
and other parochial clergy of the Rural Deanery of Birming-
ham, respectfully showeth : That the undersigned have
taken into their consideration the distressed condition of the
ribbon weavers of Coventry and the surrounding diatriele,
which they find to be truly appalling; that, in the opinion
of the isodervigned, it concerns the ehaeaeter of the Chair
tin public of Birmingham that au effort should be made to
&ow out its sympathies in aid of its suffering brethren.
that the nodersigned are desirous of seeing such en ego*
node on. the largest possible basis, without coesitimatien
sent or party, sad more especially that it should Miele NS

undemigned weaid therefore venture to suggest to the Mayor

The Smithfield Show of this year, at the Baker-
street Bazaar, will be looked at with more than
ordinary interest, when it is recollected that it is
the lest but one in which the cattle breeders of
England will have the opportunity of exhibiting
their prodigies of adipose accumulation to a West-
end public. Is 1863 the show goes to Islington—it
might almost as well go to Australia, in as far as
the civilised portion of the metropolitan population
is concerned ; and from that day forward it may be
expected to be looked at from a new point of view,
rok:new public and with entirely new cri-
and results. The Baker-street show has
this year theirs that if it is to die it means
to die game, for it has seized the opportunity of
exhibiting its departing glories to two of the greatest
sovereigns in Europe. On Saturday last the
Empress of the French paid it an unexpected
visit, and was detained for a quarter of an hour in
the saddlery department whilst the Duke of Athol,
who had the honour of being her Imperial Majesty's
escort, essayed the difficult task of overcoming Mr.
Brandreth Gilsbe's scruples as to the preliminary
secrecy of the exhibition. His geace, we are in-
formed, was told that the rules of the show were so
imperative that nothing under royalty could be
admitted previous to the opening day, and was in con-
, sequence obliged to disclose the name and quality
of the Illninta incognita, when, of course, the
ergs* were
peened up:d an hour vary &Fee& Y m Yoe
tug over the show, and was particularly struck with
the development of the pigs, so different from any-
thing of the same description that is to be found
in her Majesty's adopted country. Her Imperial
Majesty, who was dressed in deep mourning,
looked exceedingly well, took the greatest interest
in everything she saw, and on departing expressed
her acknowledgments for the polite attentions she
had received from Mr. Brandreth Gibbs and the
officers of the exhibition.
Yesterday afternoon her Majesty the Queen of
England paid her annual visit to the show. Like
the Emperor of China, with whom we are likely
soon to become more intimately acquainted, the
Sovereign of these islands gives annually her august
sanction to our rural pursuits, not by holding the
plough, as does the Brother of the Sun and Moon,
but by visiting the Smithfield Show, and examining
with great care and interest the prize specimens of
the traditional beef and pork of her people. Her
Majesty was on the present occasion accompanied
by the Prince Consort himself a " highly
commended" exhibitor Prince Alfred, and
the Princess Alice, the last named lady being
exerted by the Prince Louis of Hesse,
who, we are informed, is soon to become
a member of the royal family of England . His
Serene Highness, who is a captain in the Prussian
Guard, is of the middle size, and is extremely like
the Prince of Prussia. During the visit the Prince
Consort sedulously explained the features of the
show to his Serene Highness in the German lira-
gave, and the latter seemed to take much interest
in the exhibition. Her Majesty ;paid much atten-
tion to the Highland cattle, and also took par-
ticular notice of the lilliputian Breton cows,
which bad also attracted on the previous Satur-
day the attention of the Empress of the
French. The Queen and party, at the termina-
tion of their inspection, proceeded to Claridge's
Hotel, to pay a farewell visitl to the Empress of
the French'. After the departure of the Queen
several distinguished personages who take an in-
terest in the breeding of stock were admitted to the
=ne view, amongst whom we noticed Lord
, Lord Campien, Sir Williamson Booth,
and Lady Pigott, the last-named considered to be
one of the best of stock in the kingdom. As
OM el UP inciekbsd completed their awards the
were admitted, and on our entrance the first
we received was, that in quantity at least
the show was a falling off from the exhibitions of
Denser yfrs. Many of stalls and a great many of
tbe paw Were empty, the place felt cold, and the
Ames did not seem as if so well represented as on
previous occasions.. We were informed that this
Ties to ha accounted for in a great measure by the
seareity of fodder which had prevailed during the
greater part of the 7ear and which had prevented
the fanners from indulging so much as usual in 11
fancy feeding. In quality. the show will in many
of the clesises bear a oomparmou with any of its prede-
moors. The Devon' are few in number, but contain
some specimeniwhich may serves types of the breed.
In this class Mr. Heath, a well known name at
the Smithfield show takes the two 261. prizes and
the two silver medals, and in his case nobody will
be inclined to dispute the award. Indeed, we may
here observe in passing that although there may be
a few exceptions, there never was a show in which
the opinion of the judges was less likely to be at
variance with the judgment of the public than the
present one. Common sense seems to have guided
all the decisions, and the most unskilled person
can see at a glance that the animals selected
as being deserving of prizes are the right
ones. Mr. Heath's Devon steer is a model of
bovine symmetry, small head, straight back, fine
limbs, and tail falling as straight as a pendulum.
Enthusiastic graziers crowded about it last evening,
and by declaring that "It could drink out of a
pint pot," expressed their opinion of that fineness
of head which is one of the greatest desiderata.
His Royal Highness the Prince Consort exhibits a
very fine Devon heifer, " Lobelia," but is not so
fortunate as to obtain a prize. The silver medal
and 151. prize in this class is awarded to Mr. R.
Mogridge, of South Molten, Devon, whose animal
is a most worthy representative of the clams.
Class 5, Hereford steers, possesses this year the
singular feature of offering only one animal
for public inspection. Having no competitors,
this solitary Hereford might be supposed to have
won in a canter, but we were informed that his
merits underwent the strictest investigation, and
that it was not without the most careful delibera-
tion that the judges awarded him the silver medal
and 261. prize. Mr. Henry Bettridge, of Wantage,
Berkshire is the proprietor of this fortunate
animal. In class 6, same breed, but aged, a
similar prise is taken by Mr. Lloyd, of Bromley,
Kent.
The Short-horns are equal to any year of the
show ' the three-year old exhibited by the Duke
of Beaufort, and which obtains the gold medal,
being a perfect model of the Mass. In the next
class, aged, of the same breed, a similar distinction
is c irried off by Mr. Baker, of Cottesmore, Rut-
lam., for an animal of equally superb deve-
lopment.
When we have disposed of the Devoe", the Here-
fords, and the short-horns,we are in the position of
the visitors to the Royal Academy, who have
examined all the pictures on the " sight line," the
remainder of the animals being stowed away in
distant and less lighted districts, and generally dis-
posed to take advantage of their seclusion and
enjoy a comfortable nap. There is, therefore much
le opportunity for examination or criticism. In
this position are the animals of the Sussex breed,
containing many admirable specimens, and those
tremendous looking Highland steers, fierce as the
wild buffaloes of the Pampas, to whom her Majesty
devoted the greatest portion of her visit, and which
we are sure are the only animals in the show which
Roes Bonhenr would think worth a glance. In this
class the Duke of Beaufort takes a 261. prise for a
magnificent animal, and there are several others,
which, although not similarly favoured, will be
objects of great interest from their stature, evident
strength, and highly picturesque appearance. In the
same seclusion is to be found the solitary speci-
men of Irish breed which the enterprise of
the sister kingdom has contributed to the show. It
is a lean little Kerry cow, which looks as if it bad
struggled through seven centuries of Saxon oppres- 1' WELSH MUD.
