ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY
TO AlstusLs.—Yesterday the twentieth annual meeting of the mem-
bers and friends of this society was held at the Queen's Concert
Room, Hanover-square—the Lord Bishop of St. David's, in the ab-
sence of the Marquis of Westminster, presided. There were present
—Lord Dudley Stuart, W. A. Mackinnon, Esq., M.P., Hon. W.
Cowper, M.P., Rev. R. Burgess, 8.D., Rector of Upper ChelseaS. ;
Rev, J. Jackson, Rev. Dr. Sprenger, John Wilks, Esq., J.
Buckingham, Esq., and other gentlemen. The Right Rev. Chair-
man having opened the proceedings by some remarks eulogistic of
the society, Mr. Thomas, the secretary, read the report, from which
it appeared tkat during the past year the operations of the society
have been materially extended, and that numerous auxiliary associa-
tions have been formed with every prospect of success. The National
Schools of the metropolis had been visited, with a view to instil into
the minds of the pupils the duty of gentleness towards the dumb
creation. Two hundred and fifty prosecutions had taken place, two
dog pits had been suppressed, and the towns of Ramsgate, Margate,
Dover, Gravesend, and other places of general resort, had been
Placed under the immediate inspection of the officers
of the society. The usual prizes of 61., 41., and 21. were
offered to the scholars of the National Society's Training College,
for the best essays on the means of preventing cruelty to animals.
The receipts of the year had been 1,2171., the expenditure less by
2301. A legacy of 1,0001. by John Orr, Esq. of Madras, was acknow-
ledged. On the motion of Mr. Buckingham, seconded by the Hon.
W. Cowper, M.P., the report was adopted, and several resolutions
were carried expressive of confidence in the result of the society's
operations.

RATHER REMARRABLE.—An along the east coast,
during the last few days, there has prevailed a smell of turf smoke,
a circumstance which occasioned considerable surprise, because the
neighbourhood round us producecs but a
antcomparaively small quan-

days the phenomenon was regarded as unaccountable, until it was

A CARRIER PIGEON FROM PARIS. —On Saturday, the

containing the prices of the various French railway
shares.—

BABE INGRATITUDE.—At the grand review given at
the Champ de Mars, is honour of Ibrahim Pacha, there were re-
peated cries of " A bas les Anglais." The French certainly imagine
that the English still rule in France; and yet we wonder at thir
forgetfulness, for our rue was very different to Louis Philippe's. Ile
