The PRESIDENT then proposed, as a toast, " The
health of the successful competitors for stock," and,
in the exercise of his privilege, called on the Duke
of Richmond to return thanks, than whom he was
sure would be more acceptable to the company.
The Duke of RICHMOND, who was warmly received,
stood on the table, and said—l was educated in a school
which taught me to pay implicit obedience to my com-
manding-officer.—(Cheers.) I therefore at once obey
your call, and stand before the meeting here assembled
to return thanks in the name of the successful candidates.

The successful candidates are proud, at all times, to
receive the premiums for their stock; and I must say for
myself, and the other successful candidates here present,
that we feel it an additional compliment that we are
honoured by the presence of the illustrious individual
who sits at your right hand.—(Cheers.) The time was,
and for many years too, that I competed at various
meetings of the Agricultural Society, and for many
years I was an unsuccessful candidate; hut I knew it
was the characteristic of the British farmer to persevere,
and I hope that I have English blood enough in my
veins to induce me to persevere until I have won the
premiums which I failed in at first. From that period
up to the present I have won on some occasions; I have
been beaten often; but, I must say for myself, if you
will permit me to say anything personal, that I never
complained of the decision of the judges.—(Cheers.) I
was not aware that I should be called on to address
you, but I can only say this, that there is no occcasion
when called on before an assembly of the farmers of
England that I shall not stand on the table and face
them as I do now.—(Cheers.) I will not detain you
any more, but assure the company here assembled that
thero is no man who feels more strongly than I do the
great advantage of these meetings, when we see the
landlord and tenant seated together at the same table,
for I say that man is a traitor to his country who wishes
$ sever the link between them.--(Cheers.)

Lion the different kinds of stock in the order in which
they were arranged, commencing with the first shed oa
the south side of the yard. This and the sheds next it
were occupied with horses, which were exhibited in ex-
traordinary numbers and excellence. In fact, it is very
doubtful whether a finer exhibition of horses was ever
seen before, and any man who has an eye for such an
exhibition—and who in this country has not?—must
have been greatly delighted. Yorkshire has entirely
vindicated her ancient and well-earned reputation for
horse breeding, and this department of the show
became at once its most remarkable feature. Of stal-
lions alone there 'were not less than one hundred and
twenty entered for competition, most of them noble-
looking animals, and by their wonderful symmetry
filling the spectators with surprise and admiration.
That to which the first prize was awarded in the
Ist class is one of the most splended specimens of a
horse, for agricultural purposes, ever seen, and not the
least singular circumstance connected with him is that
he has carried off the prize from the best Yorkshire
horses of that class, having been himself bred in Suffolk.
This part of the exhibition was divided into classes of
horses and brood mares, for agricultural horses for dray
purposes, and of young fillies. In each class the dis-
play was very excellent in respect both of number and
quality. Next to the horses came the specimens of the
short-horned breed ; and here, taking the local circum-
stances into consideration, I was not disappointed, but I
must certainly say not astonished, at the character of
the exhibition. Though York is in the very centre of
the short-horn c mntry, the show of these fine cattle—
the favourite breed at present in the agricultural world—
was not superior to that at other meetings of the society.
They were rent present in such numbers as was confi-
dently expected, and, while there were some very fine
animals among them, here again, as in the case of the
horses, the prize bull of the first class is a stranger, hav-
ing been bred, not in the northern counties, where the
,hurt-horns have their peculiar home, but so far south
as Wiltshire. When I saw him he was resting from the
fatigues of the morning, and his keeper would not suffer
his repose to be disturbed. He is a noble specimen of
the breed, and has a back as broad and level as a table.
Passing to the specimens of the Devon breed in the
yard, though they were few in number as might have
been expected from the distance they had to be con-
veyed, still their quality was excellent. The same ob-
servation applies with equal force to the Herefords, of
which there were some good animals exhibited. Mr.
Turner, of Barton, near Exeter, and Mr. Fouracre, of
Durston, near Taunton, were each successful enough to
carry off two prizes for the specimens of Devon cattle
shown by them. Tho display of cattle generally, though
well up to the mark of previous shows, exhibits no de-
cided or positive superiority, except in one respect. For
the credit, however, of the Agricultural Society and of
the judges who awarded the prizes, the point of su-
periority alluded to is a very important one. The ani
mats exhibited this year approach the natural form of
their species, and might be looked at by any carnivo-
rously minded spectator with a proper amount of satis-
faction. In this part of the show something has been
done to rob it of its interest for the tallowchandler.
There now remains little in the appearance of our cattle
to provoke the indignation of the humane. Coming to
the exhibition of sheep, the anticipation that there would
be a fine display of Leicester* has been fully confirmed.
They appeared in great numbers, and were admitted on
all hands to be of extraordinary beauty. Their swarthy
rivals in public favour, the Southdown, did not, as
might have been expected, show in such force, but
there were nevertheless some fine specimens of them on
the ground.

As for the long-woolled sheep, the effect of overfeeding
was more obvious among them than in any other part of
the yard, and it was quite distressing to see how they
suffered from the heat.

Last of all, but not least in that beauty, the lines of
which vary so curiously with the changes of animal life,
came the pig show. From the extraordinary capabili-
ties of this creature for fattening, from their half comical
appearance, and also from a deep-seated predilection fur
bacon existing among the English people, the pig show
is always one of the most popular and best frequented
spots in an exhibition of stock. The nose refuses to be
offended when the expressive squeak assails the ears;
and ladies, notwithstanding the delicacy of their organs
and the richness of their dresses being in peril, are still
induced to look at the gross feeders whose flesh the Jew
abhors. Children go there to play tricks, aud, gene-
rally, whatever part of the show-yard may be deserted,
that retains its visitors. So it was yesterday; and
worthily did Yorkshire maintain its place among the
counties for raising this kind of stock. The colleatiohne
of porkers, small and large, was very numerous, and
successful competitors were greatly admired.
This brings to a close the account of the show, which,
altogether, must be considered a very successful one.

of
Major James, assembled yesterday, on Woolwich
com-
mon, in heavy marching order, for the Commandant's
annual inspection. Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas
Downinan, C.B. and K.C.H., arrived on the nd at
half-past nine o'clock, attended by Brigade grow Cu
page and Captain Tylden, Deputy-Assistant Quarter-
master-General, and was received with the usual general
salute. The Commandant then rode down the front and
up the rear, closely inspecting every man and horse, and
the dismounted gunners and supernumerary horse, The
troops subsequently marched past in slow tame, in single
file, which allowed Sir Thomas Downrnan another op-
man and horse. They
portunity of inspecting every
then trotted past by troops, and went through the
manoeuvres of a field day. The field batteries having
Royal Horse Ar-
tillery, up the ground occupied by the
the Commandant inspected them and the super-
numerary men, and they were permitted, after walking
past at a walk in column of batteries, to return to bar-
racks. To-day, the whole of the companies ten
panies of the

companies of the 4th, 6th, 7th, Bth, and 9th battalions
at one o'clock, P.M , and two men were selected from
each company to show their necessaries, and as the in-
spection of each battalion was finished
they were
marched to barracks and dismissed.
LONDON COFFEE AND EATING-lIOUSE KEEPERS
ASSOCIATION.—The annual excursion in aid of the funds
of the above association took place yesterday to Herne
Bay and back, on board the City of Canterbury, Captain
Large. About 500 of the members and their friends
assembled upon the occasion, and the weather being extremely fine a most delightful day was passed. Clapp'-
band was in attendance, and dancing was continued
throughout the voyage, affording much amusement to
the younger part of the party. The vessel reached
London Bridge on its return about ten o'clock, and the
company separated highly gratified with the day's trip.
The excursion will produce profitable remits to the
association.

Railway Commission. This agreement on the part of
the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company
is subject to the approval of the Great Western Com-
pany, and should it receive their sanction, the laying of
the permanent way, and the other preparations neces-
sary to put the branch in working order by the time
specified, will be proceeded with immediately. We un-
derstan:l that the cuttings and levellings along the
whole line of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp-
ton Rtilw•ay beta eon this city and Stourbridge are com-
pleted, with the excepti in of a few chain lengths near
Oldswinford, and that of the Dudley tunnel, which is
now partially open throughout, is approaching cornple
tion. The repairs of the bridge over the line at the
Dudley station, which fell down some time aga, are also
nearly finished.—Railway Chronicle.
A correspondent states, I believe that the Midland
Company cannot lease it, fur the following reasons:—As
soon as the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton
Railway Bill was passed, the Great Western Railway
Company agreed with that company to take a lease in
perpetuity of the railway at 3} per cent. on a specified
sum. Afterwards the Great Western agreed to increase
the rate of interest to 4 per cent., and on a larger amount
of capital. I atten:led two several meetings of the Great
Western Company, and confirmed those agreements.
Subsequently some disco%tented shareholders of the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway called
a meeting of proprietors, with a view to annul the agree•
merits, but failed to do so.

The Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway
is on the broad ;,rauce, Mr. Brunel, the engineer, whe, in
his report to the directors of the Great Western Rail-
way, February 16, 184, stated that the works on the
South Wales, end on the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol-
verhampton Railway's, in the completion of which the
Great Western Railway is so much interested, are pro-
ceeding satisfactorily. The Great Western also have
agreed to lease the South Wales.

WATERFORD, WEXFORD, AND Dunrmt.—A Bill, pro-
moted by this company, has received the royal assent for
a subscription of 224,0001.; a guarantee of the Great
Western of tho payment, and five per cent. interest, is
stated to exist. The shareholders of this and the South
\Vales Company and landowners' petitions against the
Bill, and for an investigation into the conduct of the di-
rectors, were re-heard before the Standing Orders Com •
mittee, but, owing to the defective steps of the South
Wales dissentient shareholders, they were not allowed
to be heard on the facts they brought forward.
SOUTH WALES.—The Committee of the House of
Commons, presided over by Sir Robert Peel, refused to
sanction the guarantee of five per cent, by the Great
Western Company. The guarantees to the South
Wales Company, as to the Lynvi Valley, Vale of Neath,
and Waterford, Wexford, and Dublin Companies, are
not yet perfected.
bunt LINES.—The through route between London
and Holyhead, and Dublin and Limerick, will be com-
pleted in a few weeks. Parliament have sanctioned the
steamboat project of the Holyhead Company, consi-
dering that the Liverpool and Dublin routes, and the
projected lines through South Wales to Wexford and
Dublin, will be sufficiently competing to keep the Holy-
head route in check. The South Wales is far from
completion, and the Waterford, Wexford, and Dublin
line is opposed by its shareholders. The Waterford and
Limerick line is also in abeyance as to the Waterford
end. The Lords' Committee, of which the Earl of St.
Germans was chairman, wished to bind the Holyhead
Company to charge no more by sea thaa by land, and
vice versa, but abandoned the proposition on being in-
formed that it was interfering with a toll measure, and
would be fatal to the Bill in the other House.

HONOURABLE ARTILLERY COMPANY. —Yesterday,
after the field exercises, the battalion formed three sides
of a square, when Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. Henry Fitz-
roy, MY., presented, in his own name and that of the
regiment, a handsome sword and appendages to Acting-
Major Barnard. Colonel Fitzroy, in a neat and eloquent
speech, addressed Major Barnard upon his long and
active services in the corps, and at the conclusion buckled
the sword round his waist. Major Barnard, in short but
feeling terms, expressed his thanks for such a valuable
testimony of the opinion entertained by the corps, and
was warmly congratulated by his brother officers. We
understand that his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who
is Colonel of this ancient and honourable corps, intends
reviewing the regiment, on their grounds in Finsbury,
on Thursday next. During the recent threatened dis-
turbances the honourable corps has been almost con-
stantly under arms, ready at a moment's notice to assist
in the suppression of any outbreak.
THE POCKET PROTECTOR.—This title cannot fail
to prove attractive, if not very interesting, to all ; par-
ticularly as at the present moment almost every civilized
kingdom in the world is either deeply involved in some
national dilemma, or close upon the verge of being so.
But, unfortunately, the Pocket Protector will not drive
away the tax. gatherer from the dwelling of its posses-
sor, however calculated it may be to do him good ser-
vice by preventing the possibility of his coin, purse, or
other property from falling ont, whilst he can place such
in, or withdraw it from his pocket with all customary
convenience. The invention is patented by Messrs.
Nicoll, of Regent-street, and Cornhill, who are Paletot-
makers to H.R.11. Prince Albert, &c.—Glide.
At the half-yearly meeting of the Royal Santiago
Mining Company, on Wednesday, the directors stated
that the operations at the mine had not been so success-
ful
half-
yearly
as formerly, the expenses having exceeded the If
yearly receipts by about 300/. The low price of
was, however, the main cause of this deficit. As
directors had about 40,0001. in reserve, they thought
they could safely pay back 255. a share to the proprietors,
in
p
thus leaving about 30,000/. for conducting e! copperthe
future. Baron de Goldsmid alluded to the efforts
to sup-
press making by those interested in the copper
as far as practicable the foreign copper companies,
and overtures had been made to him as respected this
in its prospects
concern, but he had too much confidence
to aid such a proposal.

" That the said Thomas F. Meag,her did, on the sth
of July last, at Rathkeale, in the county of Limerick,
deliver a seditious speech before an assemblage of persons,
calling on them to organize in force to obstruct the
execution of the law, and be prepared to prevent the
law Irons being carried out, by force; in case a similar
attempt was made as in the case of John Mitchel, to
strike such a blow as should prevent the law from being
carried out by force in such a case.'"
The following account of Mr. sleagher's arrest ap-
pears in the Waterford Mail of yesterday : •
" On Tuesday afternoon, as Mr. Thomas A. Meagher,
who was in this city since Tuesday last, was proceeding
from the house of Mr. Sweetman, of Blenheim, in this
county, he was arrested on a charge of felony by Cap-
tam Gunn, R.M., who proceeded with him to his father's
residence on the Mall. As soon as the news of his cap-
ture became known great crowds assembled in the im-
mediate neighbourhood, and it was deemed advisable to
call out the military force, horse, infantry, and artillery,
rvh took up a position along the line from Colebeek
strict to John-street, leading to the Manor ; the police
in considerable force being stationed in the Tuwn-hall.
Up to our going to press, however, everything was tran-
wril—not the slightest sign of disturbance."
ANOTHER ARREST.
This morning intelligence reached town that another
of the very " earnest" men, Mr. Michael Daheny, who
has been one of the most active missionaries of propa-
gandism in the south, and an energetic promoter of club
organization, was arrested in Cashel yesterday, and coin-
rnitted,not without an attempt at rescue, to Nenagh gaol,
to abide his trial for felony at the present assizes. Mr.
Doheny is a contributor to the Tribune newspaper ; but
it appears that it is for a speech delivered at Roscrea, in
his capacity of emissary from the Irish Confederation.
that lie has been made amenable, and not for any of tii,
contributions to the treason press of Dublin. The fol-
lowing is from a correspondent of the Evening Mail :
" CASHEL, TUESDAY, JULY 11, 1848.—Mr. Michael
Doheny, the barrister, was arrested this morning in hi:
own house, near this town, by Mr. Joseph Cox, the sub-
inspector of police, and taken before the lion. ir.
Flrench, the stipendiary magistrate, char4ed under the
late Act of Parliament with sedition, uttered in a spreeh
pronounced by him at Roscrea in the North Riding.
After a short examination before the m;:gistrate a coin-
ieittal was made out, and Mr. Doheny was being remover
to the Bridewell when an attempt at rescue was marl,
by the mob ; but after a short delay the prisoner w;:,
safely lodged in the Bridewell—not. however, haul%
two private soldiers of the 434 Light Infantry, spectators
in the crowd, were knocked down and severely hand:e(l
\fr. I) heny is to be sent this evening to the Norti:
Riding."

THE IRISH LEAGUE.
The first meeting last night, althutigh crowded te
excess, was remarkable for one feature only—the a:
tendance was almost wholly confined to persons uncoil•
fleeted either with the Irish Confederation or the Repea
Association. The audience was composed, so to speak.
of " new faces," people who dropped in more from
curiosity than from any community of feeling with the
proceedings, which excited little or no interest out of
doors. This is to be accounted for by the known dis-
like of the clubmen, not only to the union with the Con•
ciliation-hall humbugs, but to the growing aversion to
long speeches meaning nothing, and high " resolves r
amounting to something less. In their lodge-room-
and in the open streets these men laugh scornfully
at all the old machinery of agitation—their motto being
" deeds, not words." It is all one to them, they say,
whether Mr. Smith O'Brien or Mr. John O'Connell rule
paramount over the councils of the League. It is " too
late " either for tall talk, or prosy letters, set forth with
all the aid of athletic types.

A QUATICS.
JUBILEE TOWER REGATTA.
The thirtieth nun nal regatta toc.k place yesterday at
the Tower, and, as lisual, attracted a vast assemblage of
spectators. Tho rage was in the heats, for six pair of
sculls. The distance to be rowed was from off the Tower,
twice round the eel chain, and round the lower buoy op-
posite St. Katherine's Dock up to th© Tower, and go
twice round each heat.

First Heat.

This would have been a good contested heat but from
the circumstance of Purple fouling Pink, and in their
endeavouring to get away from each other, Bury rowed
over the chain of a vessel and was upset, but received no
further mischief than a ducking.
On the men coming in at the conclusion of the heat,
the umpire of the regatta was appealed to by Pink, who
claimed second position in consequence of having been
fouled by Purple (which is contrary to the rules of their
wager.) It was at length decided that the heat should
he rowed over again; but in consequence of Pink not
feeling competent to row after his immersion, the finish
of the regatta was adjourned until next week.
