TETE VETERINARY SCHOOL.

This Establishment is now in sixth year of operation,
under the Lecturer appo;nted by the Society, Mr. Dick, a
Graduate of the Veterinary College of London. Its prac-
tical utility has already been clearly ascertained.—Young
men, from various parts of the country, have received in-
struction in the most approved and scientific modes of
Shoeing, in the Anatomy and Diseases of the Horse and
other domestic animals, and in the best system of Treat-
ment and Cure. Several of these students have oven sent
up by agricultural associations, and others have attended
on their own account.

It may be interesting also to members of the Society,
to be informed, that Mr. Dick last season delivered a set
of Lectnrea, at a forenoon hour, to a numerous class of
gentlemen, with such success, that a similar course is in
progress in the present session, and it will probably also
become an annual course.

The Lectures and Demonstrations for the cession 1829-
1530, will be commenced in November uczt, at the utual
Lecture-Room in Edinburgh.

NOTICE TO COMPETITORS, AND GENERAL
REGULATIONS OF COMPETITION.

'When Subjects are specially selected for Competition, it
is always to he understood, Ist, That, however concisely
the subjects themselves be announced, ample information is
required concerning them ; 2d, That this information shall
be founded on experience or observation, and not on simple
references and quotations from books ; 3d, That it shall be
digested as methodically as possible ; and, 4th, That Dem-
ings, Specimens, or Models, shall accompany Writings re-
quiring them for illustration.

_
Certain conditions are annexed to each of the various
subjects of Competition, as detailed in the List of Pre-
miums ; and these are rigidly enforced by the Society, as
the only means of ensuring regularity in the conduct of the
business, and of distributing exact justice among the Com-
petitors.

•
Copies of the List of Premiums, with the conditions
applicable to each subject of Competition, will he delivered
to intending Competitors upon application at the Society's
Hall. Without reference to these conditions Competitors
cannot expect that their reports shall be satisfactory.
In all Essays for Competition, it is expected that when
facts not generally known are stated, they are to be authen-
ticated by proper references. Competitors in Essays shall
not communicate their names, but shall transmit along with
the Essay. a sealed note containing their names and addresses,
and inscribed on the back with some distinguishing motto or
device, which shall also be inscribed on the Essay. When
this regulation is neglected, such Essay shall not be received
in competition. If the Essayist has formerly gained a Pre_
mium ft om the Society, for a Paper communicated by him,
it is recommended that his subsequent Essay shall be written
in a different hand from that of the former successful Paper,
hone of the sealed notes, except those which bear the
distinguishing motto or device of the Essays found entitled
to Premiums, shall be opened ; and such as are not found
entitled to any premium, shall, with the sealed notes, be re-
turned to the authors, if required. The Society is to be at
liberty to publish the Essays, or Extracts from them, fur
which the Premium, or part of it, shall he awarded.
Candidates are requested to, observe that, in any instance
when Essays, Reports, or Certificates, are unsatisfactory,
the Society is not bound to give the reward offered ; and
that, in certain cases, power is reserved of giving such
part only of a Premium as the claim may be adjudged to
deserve; but Competitors may feel assured that the Direc-
tors will always be inclined to judge liberally of their se-
veral claims.

In all Reports of Experiments relating to the Improve-
ment or Management of Land, it is expected that the ex-
pence* shall be accurately detailed.
In the enunciation of all Premiums, having reference to
Weight or Measure, the New or Imperial Standards are
alone to be understood as referred to ; and should Compe-
titors, in any instance, refer to other Weights or Mea-
sures, the exact proportion which these bear to the New
Standards must be accurately specified, otherwise the claim
will not be entertained.

When Premiums are awarded in Plate, the Society will,
in such cases as the Directors !say see proper, allow them
to he paid in mosey, on the application of the successful
Candidates.

CHARLES GORDON, Dep. gec.

The Lord Primate of Ireland, Earl Bathurst,
the Earl of Aberdeen, Viscount Melville, Viscount Beres-
ford, Mr. Secretary Peel, and Mr. Herries, visited the
Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday at his residence in
Downing-street. The Right Hon. Gentleman was better
yesterday.

Viscount de Moltke, the Danish Minister,
had a conference with the Earl of Aberdeen yesterday, at
the office of the Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs.

We understand that, under the present prospect
of a happy settlement of the Catholic Claims, the Earl of
Shrewsbury has suppressed his reply to Lord Bexley.
Though already in the press, and under a strong tempta-
tion to repel the calumnious attacks of that Nobleman, on
the principles, both civil and religious, of his Roman Ca-
tholic fellow subjects, Lord S. makes this sacrifice as a
peace-offering to the manes of that religious dissension
which has so long distracted the country, but which has
at length expired under the happy determination of Govern-
ment to consolidate the whole Empire in one great bond
of union, by equal laws and equal rights.
