JULY 15,

The Queen and Prince Albert visited the showyard
yesterday while the judges were engaged in making their
awards. This is, we believe, the first rime that her Mr,-
Jesty has honoured a meeting of the Royal Agricultural
Society with her presence. She wasreceivsd by the Duke
of Richmond, the President; Mr. Brandreth Gibbs, ho-
norary director of the show ; Messrs. Stokes, Jonas,
and Milward, the stewards of cattle, &c. ; Mr. Barker,
the steward of finance, and Mr. Hudson, the excellent
sectetary 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 Queen 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 hasty survey of the display of
stock, and now proceed briefly to record our general
impression as to its character. Ia the first place, then,
and as a whole, the Show is not only in quantity, but
in quality, which is more important, decidedly su-
perior to any of its predecessors. The South Down
sheep, the short-horns, the Herefords, and the pigs,
are its strongest points, and are 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 overlookin. In all the classes of cattle
the female specimens are particularly good, and excel
thcs'male. This is an unusual characteristic of the so-
ciety's shows, but is regarded as satisfactory, 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 does not present himself this year in the field for
coaipeti'ion, but his improved Essex stock is there in in-
creased force modified occasionally by the admixture of
other blood, and fresh christened accordingly in the Ca-
talogues The multiplication of names for eutir' ly
similar descriptions of the animal threatens soon to be-
come a serious nuisance, and to create contusion in one's
estimate, not only of palters. but of pork. There is a
fine show of Leicester and of Cotswold sheep. which will
attract much attention. Suffolk pusches carry off the
chief priz .s in the class of horses. The wilch cows from
the Cc alinsl Islands and trom Ayrshire deserve especial
notice. Ii the present meeting does no other good then
to draw attention by a large display of these animals to
the gross in glect of the milk supply of the metropolis,
whicu the agriculture of Surrey, lier.t, and Essex pre-
sents, it will have done a vast public service. Of all
artificial systems that of producing milk in town dairies
is 'he most objectionable It is c Tinily 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
as disqualified them for bsing included in their awards.
These awards are as frlltess:
