The Commiitee of Veterinary Surgeons, in returning their sin- 
cere thanks to the members of the profession at large for the 
liberal manner in which they have assisted them with their con- 
tributions, respectfully request that those who have not yet paid 
their subscription will kindly forward the same, per post office 
order or otherwise, to the Treasurer, Mr. F. King, jun., of

Mr. SHAW’S TESTIMONIAL. 
Our readers are respectfully informed that the Testimonial to 
Mr. Shaw will be presented to him on Thursday, the 8th of 
December, at the London Coffee House, Ludgate Hill, at five 
o’clock in the evening, precisely. 
It will not be forgotten, that while Mr. Shaw was, in point of 
fact, the father of the English Agricultural Society , and still 
continues to be its most strenuous supporter and ardent friend, 
he has lost no opportunity of cordially contributing to the onward 
progress of the veterinary art ; and to the determination of Mr. 
Shaw and others, who were always ready to support the cause 
of veterinary science, we in a great measure owe it that the in- 
structions at the Veterinary College are now more worthy of their 
noble object. 
Messrs. Percivall and Youatt would be most happy to receive 
any communications from their friends on this subject.
