ve,;aels. lie was Iv atificd at the good that had already
been done, but he did not place entire reliance in the
expectations entertained of suppressing the slave trade
altogether, though cfiTtainly such a consummation would
be most azreeabM to him.
Mr. HUME wished to know what proportion of the
34,000 captured slaves had been liberated and sent to
the West Indies?
Mr. HAWES was not prepared to answer the question
at that moment.
The vote was then agreed to.
On the next yore, tor 14 7501. far the expenses of the
mixed Commission for suppressing the slave trade with
furfign po•xers,
Mr. HUME asked if the vcicancies which had recently
occurred were to be filled up?
Viscount P AL NiEtts-roN said he hoped the expenses
of the commission would be reduced very soon, and no
unnecessary vac-...“-.;ips would be filed up.
The vote was agreed to.
On the next vote for 1484901. for the expenses of the
consular estahlishments abroad,

'rho Q teen and Prince Alle,rt visited the showyard
yesterday while the judges were engaged in making their
awards. This is, we believe, the first time that her Ma. 1
jesty has honoured a meeting of the Royal Agricultural
Society with her presence. She wa'received by the Duke
of Richmond, the President; Mr. Brandreth Gibbs, ho-
norary director of the show ; Messrs. Stokes, Jones,
and Milward, the stewards of cattle, &c. ; Mr. Barker,
the steward of finance, and Mr. Hudson, the excellent I
sec. etery of the society, who was presented to her Ma-
jesty by his Grace. The royal party remained for
some time in the yard, and the Q teen appeared espe-
cially interested and delighted with her visit, which was
even extended to a !survey of the dinner pavilion. Her
Majesty paid most attention to the South Down sheep,
the horses, and the pigs.
After the adjudication of the awards yesterday we
were enabled to take a }misty survey of the display of
stock, and now proceed briefly to r ecord our general
impression as to its character. In the fleet place, then,
and es a whole, the Show is not only in quantity, but
in quality, which is more important, decidedly su-
-1 perior to any of its predecessors. The South Down
sheep, the short-horns, the Herefords, and the pigs,
are its strongest points, and aro of surpassing
excellence. In the first Mr. Jonas Webb car-
rises everything before him, and completely beats out
of the field, with his Cambridgeshire stock, the
Sussex breeders. The first prize short-horned bull is an
exceedingly showy-looking and fine animal, but has one
defect which it seems questionable whether the judges
were right in overlooking. Its all the classes of cattle
the fern Ile specimens are particularly good, and excel
the male. This is an unusual characteristic of the so-
ciets's shows, but is regarded as eatisfectory, and as indi-
cating increased attention and success in breeding. Of
the porcine display. the public will hear with pleasure
that it possesses its usual attractiveness. Mr. Fisher
Hobbs doss not present himself this year in the field for
compete ien, but his improved Essex stock is there in in.
creased force. modified occe-ionally by the admixture of
other blood, and tresh christened accordingly in the.ca-
talogues. The multiplication of names for entirdy
similar descriptions of the animal threatens soon to be-
come a serious nuisance, arid to create confusion in one's
estimate, not only of porkers, but of pork. There is a
fine show of Leicester and of Cotswold sheep. which will
attract much attention. Sufi ilk pueches carry off the
chief priz in the class of horses. The mulch cows from
the Ceannel Islands arid from Ayrshire deserve especial
notice. It the present meeting does no other good than
to draw attention by a large display of these animals to
the gross nt glect of the milk supply of the metropolis,
whieti the agriculture of Surrey, Kent, and Essex pre-
sents, it wilt have done a vast public ieiciee. Of all
artificial systems that of producing milk in town dairies
is the most objectionable. It is equally unjust and
cruel to the animal which yields the fluid, and to the
human being who imbibes it. One other point remains
to be noticed before we give the list of prizes. It is that
Mr. Simonds, the veterinary surgeon of the society,
attended the judges yesterday and pointed out to them
such defects in the constitution or health of the animals
RS disqualified them for being included in their awards.
These awards are as folloes:
