United Kingdom (and especially to those who in their different 
localities have assembled and united their exertions for the ac- 
complishment of the objects in view) for the patience, discre- 
tion, and unbounded confidence they have manifested. And to 
state that it has been their unceasing endeavour to carry out the 
objects for which they were elected in a spirit of good feeling 
and good temper — honestly, and with a spirit of cordiality to- 
wards the existing institutions. 
They would farther assure the members of the profession, that 
it is their intention to still carry forward their labours in the same 
spirit; and supported, as they trust they will continue to be, by 
the individual exertions of every member of the body, to never 
cease from their exertions until they obtain for the veterinary 
surgeon that rank , station, and professional education, which is 
justly his claim and his right to expect .

[We make no comment on this Report — we leave that to our 
readers. The Profession will repose implicit confidence on 
their Committee, and that confidence will not be betrayed. 
Still we should like some expression of the wishes and hopes 
and fears of the Profession.]

W e have lately received from Messrs. Hall and Chatterley, of 
Havering Atte Bower, near Romford, a very interesting pro- 
spectus of a course of scientific instruction of young men in the 
principles and practice of agriculture. The large and increasing 
number of agricultural societies and publications, and in which 
the practical application of science to agriculture forms one of 
the chief subjects of discussion, is a fact honourable and useful 
to the farming interest. It is a pledge of increasing improve- 
ment and prosperity, notwithstanding some of the evils which 
seem at present to threaten the condition of the farmer.
