SMITHFIELD SOCIETY.

YESTERDAY the Society held their Annivers7W
Dinner at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, whet'
the Duke of BEnFoiln was in the-Chair. His Grace'
was supported by_ the Earl of AL is Ehrilß LL, Mr'
COKE, and a numerous Company of the most
tinguished persons who have dire(fted their influence
towards the improvement of their Country. His
Grace gave as toast—

The KING.
Success to the Smith4cld Society.
ProsPerifY to the industrious Grizict
• Bree:hug in all its branches..

After whiCh the Noble Duke in .4 short and
clear Address to the Company; xtkplaindrl the oil*
jet of the Institution, the 664 by :which the?
• were asituated, the difficulties of prejudice they had
to enconnter, and the means by which they hoped
to be ultimately useful to their Country.
His Grace said,_ the Society would persevere in
their endeavours to promote-the art of improving
the Breed of Cattle and Sheep, against all the lin%
founded prejudices Which were excited against
them. But if it could be shewn that their eifortt'
tended in the slightest degree to raise the price of
animal food, or give a pretence for its advance,
then -they were resolved to dissolve their Society,
and to' acknowledge their errors. Thev had not
yet satisfied themselves, from the fats they had
colleded, of their having attained sufficient infor-
mation to be practically useful ; but they thought
that they had collefted many fats of importance,
and had prepared the way for obtaining much va-
luable knowledge in future. From the experience
they had had, they were resolved to require more
minute information in regard to the breed and the
feed of animals, and in the distribution of their ft.;•
cure prizes.

Tfie Noble Duke then read the Report of the
Arbitrators in, adjudging the Prizes of the present
year, and stated, that as they had expressed a doubt
with regard to the second class, Mr. WESTCAR anti
hiinself had concurred in desiring that the Premiums
adjudged to them should be thrown into the Fund
fnr the next year.

His Grace then read the Proposal of Premiums
for the next year, which are to be divided into nor
classes than heretofore.
