ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S
CATTLE SHOW:

WINDSOR, SIINDAL—The annual meeting of the
Royal Agricultural Society, which was intended at one
time to have been held in Hyde Park, adjoining the
Great Exhibition, but which, by the gracious permission
of her Majesty, has been removed to the Home Park of
Windsor, commences to-morrow. During Friday and
Saturday the cattle were introduced into their places in
the show-yard, and on Saturday evening the last of
them had arrived. The judges begin their labours of
exeming the stock and awarding the prizes at nine
o'clock to-morrow morning ; and it is understood that
her Majesty and Prince Albert, who came down to
the Castle last night, will visit the show-yard in the
course of the day. In the course of the afternoon,
when the judges have delivered in all their awards,
the public will be admitted on payment of a fee of
10s. each—members of council and governors of the
Society for 2s. 6d. On Tuesday the show-yard will
be opened at a charge of ss. each. On Wednes-
day the price of admission will be reduced to
2s. 6d. ; and at four o'clock in the afternoon the
great annual dinner will take place in the pavilion
which has been erected for the purpose, and which is
capable of accommodating 2,000 persons. On Thurs-
day the price of admission will be reduced to Is., and in
the evening the stock will be removed. On Friday the
general meeting of the members, in the Guildhall of
Windsor, will close the proceedings, as far as the society
is directly concerned; but it is understood that the local
committee mean to celebrate the occasion by giving a
dinner to the agricultural labourers in the neighbour-
hood, to the number of 1,000.

THE GREAT CHESS TOURNAMENT. The first
prize in this very interesting contest of skill is decided.
against England, Herr Anderssen having succeeded in de-
feating his fourth antagonist, Mr. Wyvill, These gentlemen
played seven games, of which Herr Anderssen wun four, Mr.
Wyvill two, and one was drawn. Messrs. Staunton and
Williams have played twice since ,our last notice, on both
of which occasions Mr. Williams was successful. The
score is now three to three, consequently the next game
will decide their respective position among the players,
unless the game should be drawn. They are to play again
on Wednesday. The tournament will then be at an end,
except as regards the relative position of Messrs. Horwitz
and Mucklow, who have still to play. There is still to
take place a game by consultation, three players on each
side, and it is rumoured that Mr. Staunton will avail him-
self of the clause in the articles, which entitles any player
to challenge the winner of the first prize to play a match of
15 or 21 games for a hundred guineas.
BURGLARY AND ROBBERY OP 3,0001.—0 n Satur-
day, at the Ipswich Quarter Sessions, three well-dressed men,
named Lavis, Hodson, and Griffiths, were indicted for bur-
gliniously entering the counting-house of Mr. Fison, of the
steam flour-mills, and stealing therefrom an iron chest
monies and securities, amounting in value to 3,0001. The
prisoners succeeded in forcing out the safe with an iron bar,
and had put it in a sack preparatory to its being placed in a
cart which the prisoners bad with them, but the sudden
appearance of a labourer who slept in the mills caused them
to make a precipitate retreat, and springing into the cart
drove off at a furious speed along the London-road. The
sack and safe were found near the counting-house. The
police immediately worked the telegraph, and about four
o'clock the following morning the defendants were capturel
by Mr. Witham. All the prisoners were found guilty and
the Recorder sentenced them to be transported beyond.'
a to
seas for ten years. The doom of the prisoners see.olB_,_
have a marvellous effect upon many of the fraternity who
were in court.
