Friday morning the Committee met in the Committee-room
in the Repository.yard, Goswell-street, Earl Spencer in the
Chair.

The Committee was numerous, among whom we obser►ed
the Duke of Richmond, the Marquis of Exeter, Sir C.
Knightley, Mr. W. Ferdinand Wrattislow, Mr. It. W.
Baker, Mr. John Eliman, and many other influential mem-
bers of the Club who take a deep interest in the breeding of
superior cattle, and who are otherwise extensively engaged in
general agricultural purinits. The Secretary, Mr. H. Gibbs,
having read the Report connected with the present meeting,
Earl SPENCER said he would take that opportunity of con-
gratulating the Club on the prosperous state of its finances, in-
asmuch as from the able and spirited manner in which it had
been supported, they were now in a situation to carry forward
the objects the Society had in view in a more beneficial man-
ner than they had the opportunity of doing--those great bene-
fits which had long been contemplated would arise out of this
association. His L-rdship expressed his satisfaction at the
great improvements which had taken place, not only in re-
spect of quantity, but as regarded the quality of the stock ex-
hibited on this occasion, and he deemed it a further indication
of elcir growing prosi,erity, that no less than fourteen noble-
men and gentlemen, new members, had joined them this year.
This he thought would shew that the services of the Club
were appreciated as being of great benefit to the country
geac rally.
A motion was male by Mr. It. W. BAKER, and seconded
by Mr. E. W. WILIW.T, that class 10 be struck out of the bill
of premiums, and that the premiums in class 9 in future be in-
creased to two cf 15 sovereigns and 5 sovereigns respectively.
In consequence of this show being, as before described, of a
very super for order, Vie yard has been crowded the whole of
the day with visitors.

Among the seeds and vegetables our attention was parti-
cularly directed to some splendid samples of mange' wurzel
and Swedish turnips, some of the former weighing nearly 401 b.
aril the latter 201 b. each, as also kohl rati of immense size;
c ormous cabbages, of tue kind called the drumhead, or cattle
csbhage, weighing nea-ly half a hundred weight , each.
Messrs. Thomas Gibbs and Co., of Half-moon-street, Picca-
dilly, have been very eminent for their attention to this im-
portant branai of the agriculturist's pursuits. Their numereasi
specimens of glasses attracted much attention, and very pro-
perly co, ns the improvement of our meadow pasture is of the
grea•ed moment in an advanced state of agriculture.
The priz's were awarded on Thursday. The judges on this
o.tcasion were—Mr. Edward Franklin, of Ascot, near Tets-
worth ; Mr. Ralph Oldscre, Clipstone, near Market Harbo-
rough ; and Mr. John Jcl!icoe, Bightcrton, near Shipnell.
