THE AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITION.
(THIS DAY.)

The Exhibition in Battersea-park, to-day, must
have been as successful as all parties could wish.
The weather was such as to make getting about
amongst both the cattle anti machinery
quite pleasant, and the show of both was
abundant, and of a gratifying character. The
machinery in motion was, even to non-agricul-
turists, an entertaining sight ; the manufacturing
districts will soon lose one of their grand distinc-
tions, for steam showed itself quite as much• the
handmaid of almost every conceivable agricul-
tural operation us of cotton spinning and
weaving. The specimens, too, of all kinds
of animals were generally of a high order. The
company, we may add, was worthy of the occasion;
the Prince of Wales, Prince Arthur, Prince Na-
poleon, and Prince Louis of Hesse, • and Lord
Palmerston, were amongst those we noticed. When
we left, the judges had not finished their awards,
but many of the prize cattle were already dis-
tinguished by the cards hung over their heads.
We had only time to notice particularly the Devons,
the show of which was considered by most quite to
take the lead. The first prize in the first class
was awarded to No. 349, a three-year-old
ball, belonging to Mr. James Davy, of
Flitton Barton, North Malton, Devonshire,
and named " The Duke of Flitton." He was an
extraordinary animal of his age, nothing could well
surpass him ; he was, indeed, one of the best Devon
specimens ever shown. We noticed, also, a fine
animal, No. 356, a first prize in Class 111.,
and another, a second priZe, No. 357, " Fusi-
lier," which was generally considered the most
useful and best animal in his class, a very good
specimen of the pure Devon, not toofat. It belonged
to Mr. James Merson, of Brinworthy, North Malton,
Devon. Indeed, North Maltou carries off
many honours. We cannot, however, par-
ticularise further than to mention that we noticed
among the prizes, 361, Ist prize, " Prince Al-
fred," belonging to Col. Hood, bred at the Prince

The attendance up to 5 o'clock this evening at
aristocratic.a Islington,
The dogs that

numerous
attracted the greatest attention were those, in most
instances, to which a prize had been awarded, and
the justness of the awards appeared to be univer-
sally admitted.
The English mastiff seemed to be regarded as a
general favourite with the gentlemen present, but
the `'toy" or small dog division received the support
of the ladies. No. 553, a beautiful little white
animal, which might almost be placed in a lady's
slipper, excited universal admiration. One lady
who appeared to have taken a decided fancy to the
pretty little creature, gently hinted to the fine
specimen of Young Englandism that accompanied
her, " that it was just the sort of thing
she would like above all others ;" but
his reply to this appeal was merely, " At), yes,
but it's no good at rats ;" and he good naturedly
proceeded to point out the beauties of some of the
other animals.

The black and tan and King Charles' spaniels
were greatly and deservedly admired, for certainly
finer specimens have seldom if ever been seen.
To-morrow and two following days the price of
admission will be ls., and a very large attendance
may very fairly be calculated (air, as the exhibition
is perfectly unique, and one well worthy of a visit.
The arrangements for the convenience of the
visitors are of the best description.

house. He hoped that the hon. and learned baronet,' would
not retire from this measure without promising that he
would bring the subject before the house. He did not
hesitate to say that the present system was one under
which no one can obtain impartial justice. After retuning
to the charges brought against him, the hon. gentleman
said the whole matter would be brought before a jege and
jury, and if the house thought ik necessary to vindicate his
character as being entitled to retain his seat as a number of
Parliament, he would be happy if a committee were ap-
pointed to investigate the charges that had been brought
against him.
Mr. BOVILL, as one of the benchers of the Middle
Temple, who had adjudicated on the case of the hon. and
learned member, said they were bound to institute an in-
quiry into the charges that were preferred against him.
The hon, and learned member had been accused of defraud-
ing Mr. Parker of £5OO, and allowed judgment to go by
default. When Mr, Parker heard that the hon. and learned
member denied the correctness of the transaction•between
them, he offered to let the matter be tried by a jury.
Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR—I accepted the challenge.

Mr. BOVILL—The judgment was still on the file.
Mr. SEYMOUR was understood to dissent from this
statement. . _

Mr. BOVILL then entered into some further details
tending to incriminate Mr. Digby S'eyrnonr.
After some further discussion, Sir G. Bowyer withdrew
the bill.

The house then went into committee on the Juries Bill,
and clauses 1 to 7 were agreed to, and the house resumed.
The order for the second reading of the Church Rates
Voluntary Commutation Bill was discharged.
The Consolidated Fund (£10,000,000) Bill went through
committee, the other orders were disposed of, and the house
adjourned at 10 minutes to 6 o'clock.
