Sir Robert Peel, and attended by Lord Charles Wellesley, Mr. G. E. Anson, Sir Edward Bowater, and Baron de Alvensleben, left the Castle before ten o'clock, to shoot in the royal preserves at Bagshot.

Baron de Brunnow, Russian Minister, and the Earl of Aberdeen, arrived at the Castle to-day, on a visit to the Queen.

The great point of interest, however, in connexion with the proceed. ings of the meeting, was that it was unanimously resolved by the Club, in future, to offer for competition two gold medals instead of one ; the first for the best oxen and steers, and" the other for the best cow and heifer produced. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and the Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz arrived at the Bazaar shortly before one o'clock, and were conducted round the yard and implement department by Mr. Shelly, a member of the Committee, and a well-known agriculturist in Sussex. On arriving at that part where the prize pigs of his Royal Highness Prince Albert were located, an occurrence of a very amusing character took place. It appeared that the white pigs bred by the Prince and their black competitors of the same class in the adjoining pen had been for some time not on the most friendly terms. The moment of the arrival of the Duke was seized upon by one of the black porkers to make a formidable attack upon his enemy, and, notwithstanding his extreme fatness, the former made a sudden leap into the royal pen, and seiz• ing one of the Prince's animals by the ear made him squeek most lustily. The cries of their companions aroused the slumbering energies of the " unclean" royal family, and a. desperate attack was made upon the black intruder. Tedman, the inspector of police, accompanied by one or two other persons, found their authority wholly insufficient to quell the riot. His Royal Highness laughed heartily at the incident, and remarked jocosely to his royal' son-in-law, " that he never saw such a disloyal pig as the black one." His Royal Highness expressed to Mr. Shelly his great approbation at the improvement in the exhibition. Amongst a number of very fine cattle not included in the regular classes, and which in any other place would have been considered models of perfection, a remarkably fine' Hereford ox, bred by Mr. Richard Smith, of Sussex, attracted considerable attention. It was purchased by Mr. Budge, of Lambeth-walk. From 14,000 to 15,000 persons visited the exhibition during the day.
