relative to the capabilities of the respective gentlemen
named as judges, the following were appointed for short-
horned cattle :—Messrs. Hugh Watson, John H. Drought,
and Torr, an English gentleman. The judges for the other
section were also appointed, but as it has not been definitively
ascertained whether they can conveniently aet or not, they
deem it the more advisable course not to give their names
Some routine business connected with the internal arrange-
ment of the show-yard having been transacted, the list of
toasts for the Council dinner was considered, and, after some
discussion, settled. There will be no less than fourteon sen-
timents, each to be proposed by a different speaker, and each

Clonbrock, Lord Clancartv, the Duke of Leinster, Major
Bryan, William Blacker, fag., Lord Crofton, theAlariqauidisfoorf
Downshire, and the Earl of Erne.Covers have been
three hundred, red, and it is calculated that close on that number
will attend.

INQUEST ON CAPTAIN J. G. DURBAN, R.N.--Yea-
terday afternoon a long inquiry took place at the Old Cock
Tavern, Market- street, St. James's, respecting the death of
Captain John Gooch D'Urban, aged forty-five, residing at
No. 8, Norris-street, Haymarket. Mary Ann Huson stated
that the deceased came home on Sunday evening between
nine and ten o'clock, apparently in good health. He went
up stairs to his apartment, as witness supposed to bed. On
Monday morning, about eight o'clock, witness proceeded to
the deceased's bed-room with some hot water, as was her
usual custom. Witness knocked several times at the door,
but not receiving lany answer, opened the door, and went
into the room. She then discovered the deceased lying
on his left side upon the bed, undressed, and quite in-
sensible. Witness raised an alarm and sent for Mr. Arm-
strong, the' surgeon, who pronounced life to have been
extinct several hours. Captain W. S. Cooper, RN., de-
posed that he had been on very intimate terms with the
deceased, whom he had known for several years. He was
the son of Sir Benjamin D'Urban. Deceased had formerly
been in command of the Griffin, which came home from
the West Indies about five years ago, since which period he
had been of very weak health. Witness had dined with the
deceased nearly every day for the last six weeks. He gene-
rally complained of an affection of the heart. On Sunday
evening last, about seven o'clock, they dined together at the
Junior United Service Club-house. Deceased was much
better than he had been for some weeks past. He told wit-
ness he had had a long walk in the Regent's-park. Witness
left him about half-past eight o'clock at the Club-house. Dr.
Michael Lambton Este, formerly surgeon to the Life Guards,
said that he had known the deceased for the last two years.
He had been labouring under disease of the heart, or some
large vessel in its immediate vicinity. Witness saw him on
Sunday evening last. He was then in better health and
spirits than be had seen him for some months. Witness was
strongly of opinion that he had over-exerted himself in
walking too far on the Sunday afternoon, as such excitement
was likely to prove fatal to a man in his condition. Other
corroborative evidence having been adduced, the jury re-
