ROYAL SOUTH BUCKS AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.-

Yesterday the annual meeting of this society, of which
her Majesty is the patroness, was held in the vicinity of
Slough, and the interest of the occasion consisted in a
ploughing match, at which " the bold peasantry" of
Buckinghamshire were engaged for some hours in the
innocent and generous rivalry of "driving their team
afield ;" and a dinner afterwards at the Windmill Tavern,
Salthill, under the presidency of the Right Hon. Henry
Labouchere, M.P. The ploughing match took place in
a field en Burnham Abbey Farm, in the occupation of
Mr. Ralph Goodwin, and, the day being singularly
beautiful, a considerable number of people were attracted
to the scene, many of the neighbouring gentry being►
present, among others Mr. Labouchere and Lady Mary
Labouchere, Colonel Hood, and Major Bent. The
competitors, fifty-three in number, included ploughmen
in the service of H.R.H. Prince Albert, the Duke of
Buecleuch, and the Earl of Orkney. About 100 gentle.
men sat down to dinner. Among the company were Mr.
J. Trumpet., Major Bent, Mr. Wanklyn, Mr. Clayton,
Mr. Kaye, Major Simpson, and the Rev. H. Palmer.
The repast was graced by several haunches of venison
from the royal forests at Windsor, presented by I.R.H.
Prince Albert.

A PICKPOCKET AT CHIIRCEL—On Sunday morning,
as Mrs. Hughes, wife of the governor of the Blind
Asylum, Old Trafford, near Manchester, was leaving
the gallery of the chapel attached to the Deaf and
Dumb School, to attend the communion service, she was
followed into a pew by a well-dressed man, of fashion-
able exterior, who took his seat beside her, along
with some blind pupils who were under her care. 11,
had a light coat slung over his arm, which he kept
in that position. While they were kneeling together,
Mrs. Hughes felt his hand in her pocket. She could
not see his movements, as his arm was covered by the
coat, and on turning round his hand was instantly with-
drawn. Immediately afterwards Mrs. Hughes mails
vigsals with her fingers in the deaf and dumb language
to her husband, who.sat in a pew opposite, telling him
what had occurred, and he signalled back to her, re-
questing her to remain quiet. As soon as the service
was concluded, the man endeavoured as quickly as pos.
Bible to leave the chapel, but Mrs. Hughes having given in-
formation to a gentleman who was near her, he was de-
tained and given into custody. . Yesterday morning he
was brought before Mr. Trafford, at the New Bailey,
Salford, when he gave his name as Thomas Johnson,
alias Hopkins, and was identified by the police as a
well-known Manchester thief. He was committed to
prison with hard labour for three months.

[ADVERTISBNIENT.}—Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for
valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most power-
ful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-course, Opera, and
Perspective Glasses (glazed with Munic German Glass), to know
the distances of objects viewed through them—of great im-
portance to the army, navy, and others. Messrs. S. and B.
Solomous, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Ob-
serve—opposite the York Hotel.-- These telescopes possess
such extraordinary powers that some 34 inches, with an ex-
tra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's
ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be
seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant,
and an object from 12 to 14 miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly,—The Royal Ex-
hibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small,
powerful waistcoat-pOcket glass, the sizeof a walnut, by which
a person can be seen and known 1i miles distant; they answer
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses,
country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.
They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power ; an object can be clearly seen from 10 to 12 miles
distant. Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power.
The valuable advantage derived from this invention is, that
vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and
very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most
minute occupation—can see with these lenses of a much less mag-
nifying power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf-
ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordi-
nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness,
entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the
kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced.
Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it
enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at '
public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises
in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly could be desired,-39,• Albemarle-street,
Piccadilly. Observe—apposite the York Rotel.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Medicine always aggravates chronic
diseases, such as dyspepsia (indigestion), habitual constipa-
tion, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, consumption,
&c., but Du Barry's Delicious Revalenta Arabica Food
invariably cures them in a very short time. We extract
a few out of 50,000 testimonials of cures, which had
resisted all medicines. Cure No. 180. " Twenty-five
years' nervousness, constipation, indigestion, and debility,
from which I had suffered great misery, and which
no medicine could remove or relieve, have been effec-
tually cured by Da Barry's food in a very short time.
