SOCUTY Fun THE l REVhrTION or CBUELTy TO
ANIMALS.—The 2tid ativisersary meeting of this society
was held 3 t werday at the Hanover-square Rooms, and
was prceided over by the Duke of Beaufort. The meet-
ing was very well attended. His Grace, in opening tho
proceedings, alluded to the progress which the society
hail been making, and the prospect which there. was of
carrying successfully through Parliament a Bill intro-
duced during the present session, and containing more
:ttingent prosisiens against cruelty to the brute crew'
tion. The report, which; was then read, announced that
the committee had determined to petition the Legisla-
ture for the abolition of Smithfield Market. The cruel-
ties formerly practised there by the drovers had been
checked ; but in many cases the offending parties had
been prosecuted to conviction by the society.. The re-
port denounced the pastime of steeple.chasiug, and al-
luded especially to that which took place recently at Li-
verpool, the parties concerned in which would have been
proceeded against had the Jaw permitted. Dr. Evans
moved, and Mt. Samuel Gurney seconded, the adoption
of the report, which was carried unanimously. The
meeting was also addressed (y the Bishop of Peter-
borough, Mr. G. Berkeley, M.P., Lord Dudley Stuart.
and Mr. Meyoll. Prizes were presented to Mr. George
Hector Croad and Mr. B. Gill, scholars of Christ's Hut"
petal, for the best essay on the value of the objects for
which the society had been formed. These young gen-
tlemen acknowledged the honour done them in suitable
terms, and, after the usual vote of thanks to the Chair'
man, the proceedings terminated.
