THE great Reform meeting in Hyde-park, so much feared and deprecated until the last moment, has happily passed off without giving rise to a single incident that could properly justify alarm. It must be a satisfaction to all parties in the State, whatever their own par- ticular, views as to Reform itself, to find that the-masses of the people have proved them- selves capable of taking part in a political demonstration on a large scale, in a most peaceable and orderly manner. It is high time, indeed, that the last remnant of the feel- ing that the working classes of the country are a disorderly rabble who cannot be trusted, should be dismissed from the minds of all who have ever entertained it. Their demeanour on each occasion of the metropolitan gatherings during the last few months has been all that their best fri-etidi could desire, and we have the testimony of General Peel and others to the fact that it has had the most salutary in- fluence upon those who were previously in- clined to look upon them with mistrust and suspicion: After the notice issued from the Home Office, warning all people to abstain from at- tempting to take part in Monday's meeting, there was every reason to fear that the avowed determination of the Reform League to persist would lead to a calamitous result. But the publication at the last hour, evidently by authority of the Government, of the opinion of the legal advisers to the Crown that there was no power to stop the demonstration, created as much satisfaction for the time as, undoubtedly, it caused surprise. Satisfaction could not but be felt that a collision between the authorities and the people would be avoided but it was certainly astonishing to find that the Govern- ment had taken up a position from which they were compelled immediately to Recede. The ill-advised notification issued by Mr. Walpole could only have been justified had there been a clear legal opinion in support of the exercise of authority to which it pointed; but the effect of the opinion was entirely the other way. Moreover, this opinion was not one for which the Government had been waiting, and -under which it could therefore act only on tho eve of the event, for it had been before the Government ever since the meetings of last year were first proposed. The mistake com- mitted would have been far more serious in its influence upon the authority of the Govern- ment had the Reformers been less moderate in their triumph. The actual state of the law has now been very clearly defined. As far back as 1856, the legal advisers of Lord Palmerston's Go- vernment had laid it down that although there was a right in the Crown to exclude the public from the parks, persons who had once entered could only be turned out by distinct notice that the -license to enter was withdrawn. In fact,, the .rules which apply to trespass in an ordinary case were i force with respect to the parks, and, righttof user having been es- b tablished, it could not be terminated suddenly, .if at all. It was this opinion which, in July last year, was laid .before Sir William Bovill and Sir Hugh Cairnes, the law advisers to Lord Derby's Government: and they were distinctly asked whether there was any legal authority to disperse by force a park meeting for political purposes. The answer was very clearly in the negative, and the general prin- ciple previously laid down was fully supported. It was further expressly stated that the con- templated assembly was not unlawful so long as the conduct of the persons taking part in it were peaceable. The difficulties of action in the way of interference of the Government, even under the law of trespass, were so great as practically to render it incapable of taking any steps in the matter. Publication of notice of ejectment would not be sufficient, for there are many who cannot and others who would not read, and a distinct service of notice and warning to each individual* must be shown. This, in the case of a mass meeting, is of course entirely out of the question. Moreover, after notice served the individual who has received it must be removed without violence, and can- not be arrested if he is quiet. "If the as- sembly remain peaceable, the police can do nothing but hand out man after man. In no b case can they legally clear the park by a charge." The military cannot be brought for- ward at all except in case of riot. 'With this clear and explicit opinion before them, the wonder is that the Government did not bring forward early in the Session the bill for the better protection of the parks, which they only introduced on the Friday night be- fore the meeting. By this bill it is provided that no meeting of a public character shall take place in the parks without the Sovereign's permission, and any person convening or as- sisting in such a meeting is liable to be arrested and summarily convicted, and to a penalty not exceeding £10, or one month's imprisonment.

BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS. These Sessions were held on Tuesday last, before John Davies, Esq., mayor, and Joseph Joseph, Esq. DlmNK AND RIOTOUS.-David Jones was charged with the above off eiice.Fi tied 5s. including costs. AFFILIATION.'—Robert Buelzarn was summoned by Ellen Ball, charged with being the father of her illegitimate child.

Mary Ann Dennis appeared, and the case was fully proved.—Fined 10s. and costs, or 14 days, and to be bound over to keep the peace for three months, herself in £10 and two sureties at £ o each. A SIMILAR OFI,ENCE.- kvillianb WatHns was summoned by Margaret Evans, charged with as- sault and battery. Witnesses were called on both sides, and the evidence was rather conflicting. Their worships considered the charge proved, and fined the defendant 5s. and costs. A SIMILAR OFFENCE.— William Davies was summoned by Mary Williams, charging him- with assaulting her. Mr. Bishop appeared for the' de- fendant, and the case was adjourned for the pur- pose of having proper time to summons witnesses. Mrs. Porter applied to their worships for pro- tection against her husband who had been in the army, and had deserted her some two years a<*o. In reply to their worships she said that she was married in India about six years ago, and she had had two children she expected a legacy shortly since her husband had left her she was in the habil of taking in washing, and by that means she main- tained herself and family she had never received anything from her husband since he had left it was supposed that he was in Cork; she only knew from what she had heard she never heard from him himself. —Their worships requested their clerk to make out an order of protection accordingly. POLICE STATION, WEDNESDAY. Before the Mayor, John Williams, Joseph Joseph, and Lewis Hughes, Esqrs. DRUNKENNESS.— William Lee, a native of Ches- ter, was charged by P.C. Williams, with drunken- ness. Witness deposed that about half-past 12 o'clock last night he saw the prisoner in a beastly state of drunkenness, and throwing money about the streets he was in such a state that he thought it best to lock him up. In answer to the Mayor the prisoner said that he had nothing to say. The Mayor asked him if he would leave the town in an hour, and on that promise he was discharged. AN INDECENT ASSAULT.-John Powell, pig dealer, Llanfaes, was brought up for examination, charged with an aggravated assault on the per-on of Catherine Watkins, a little girl about 10 years of age. Mr. T. B. Bishop prosecuted, and Mr. W. Games defended the prisoner. Catherine Watkins, having first satisfied their worships that she knew the nature of an [oath, de- posed that she was 10 years of age last March her father's name is Thomas Watkins who is a haulier, and lives in Llanfaes she remembered last Mon- day, on that day she and her mother and sister went to her grandmother's to tea it was between 0 4 and 5 o'clock it was fair-day after tea witness went home with her little sister, and left her mother at her grandmother's she did not remem- ber the time she went home. but there was no one in the house, her father was not at home. After going witness went to write/on a slate the door was open, her sister was with her while writing on the slate Powell came in (pointing to prisoner:) that Powell, he is a pig dealer when he came in he shut the door he caught her round the middle and took her on his lap and put his hand under her clothes, aud kept pushing against her he hurted her very much, which made her cry he then gave her three-half-pence she threw them at him and he picked them up and put them in his pocket he then gave her sixpence which she also flung at him he then asked her if she would have an orange or a tart; witness refused; he then went away he was in the house about half an hour. By the Mayor—She was on his lap about a quarter of an hour. Cross-examined by Mr. Games—Prisoner has been in the habit of calling at our house for years, and is on very friendly terms with the family he was not in the habit of her she has been going to his honq: frequently, but he never nursed her there, nor never gave her pence her little sister was in the house-when Powell came in she was sitting down by the fire, and witness with her; they were at their grandmother's about an hour, which is a short distance from her mother's there was people passing when Powell was in the house witness sat in the house after Powell left, and in a short time she went to meet her mother it may be in an hour after she was sitting down prisoner took her little sister away with him; he has done so before she did not go out to tell anybody what Powell had done to her when she met her mother she told her Powell had been in the house and had been most killing her. Catherine Watkins, the mother, deposed that she is the wife of Thomas Watkins, haulier; she remembered on Monday last taking her two chil- dren with her to her mother's house to tea, and between 6 and 7 o'clock she sent the youngest child home with the prosecutor on witness going home prosecutor met her on the way, she was crying and looking very pale she had sixpence in her hand when she met her she threw it down on the ground; witness asked her what she was crying for and where she got the sixpence from she said she would tell her when they went home on going into the house she saw Powell with her youngest child in his arms. Witness was about to state what the child told her, but Mr. Games objected to that as it was not in the presence of the prisoner. Mr. Bishop contined—and witness from what prosecu- tor had told her, she examined her, and found her under clothing all blood the rest is all unfit she said she was in much pain and prisoner had caused it witness went to him immediately and asked him what he had done to her child, and. what did he wan*, in her house he made her no answer the child was 10 years old last March witness gave information to the police. Cross-examined— Her family and prisoner's have been on friendly terms some years used to visit each others house; her youngest child was fond of him he used to carry her in his arms witness had been taking some drink with prisoner on Monday, and left him drinking he was in drink but knew what he was about; always found him kind in assisting her in buying or selling pigs have heard his wife say that he is in a kind of mad state while in drink. Howell Ravard, labourer, deposed that he lives next door to the prosecutor he knew the prisoner; on Monday last while in the house he heard a child crying it was between 7 and 8 o'clock he went to the door, and saw the prisoner standing by the prosecutor's door. Cross-examined—Did not think the crying sufficient to go in did not see Powell do anything while on the door did not observe a child in his arms it was between 7 and 8 o'clock. Margaret Smiles deposed that she lives opposite prosecutor on Monday evening last, about 7 o'clock, she saw the prisoner going into prosecutor's house, and saw him come out in about half an hour; he shut the door when he went in. Cross-examined —Seen the little girl the prosecutor came out in a short time after Powell. Mr. John North, surgeon, deposed that he had examined the prosecutor, and found certain indi- cations of violence having been used to the child by force, by the hands or otherwise seen the clothing, it had blood on it. Cross-examined—It may have been caused by the finger of a person; was informed that such had been done do not re- member the mother telling him that she had ex- amiiied tHe child; there was a lavgs siuwmit of swelling, and it had the appearance of having been done by violence even if the matter had been done the day before. Supt. Lee deposed that on information he re- ceived, he enquired into the matter, and got the clothes (produced) marked with the blood from the mother; he then apprehended the prisoner. The mother identified the clothes, and proved them to be in the same state as when given to Supt. Lee. P.C. Poyntz deposed that he apprehended the prisoner he was in bed and came down he told him the charge, when prisoner said, "Oh! dear, dear, when I am drunk I do not know what I do do." Mr. Games then addressed the bench for the prisoner, and principally contended that from the wording of the warrant it was a matter which mav be adjudicated upon by themselveS; and founded his opinion on the wording of the warrant. Mr. Bishop objected to that being necessary for such a statement to the bench, and after some consulta- tion between the magistrates that was overruled, and Mr. Games then addressed the bench on the case generally. The room was then cleared for a short time, and on re-admission, the Mayor, addressing Powell, said that it was a painful case, but they must protect children, and sentenced him to three months hard labor.

ARCHDEACON'S VISITATION. The Venerable R. W. P. Davies, Archdeacon of Brecon, held his annual visitation at the Priory Church, Brecon on Tuesday last. There was a large attendance of the clergy and churchwardens of the archdeaconry. Choral service was held at the church at 11 o'clock. The Rev. John Jones, curate, intoned the service. The first lesson was read by the Rev. Herbert Williams, Vicar of Bre- con, and the second lesson by the Rev. G. B. Sharpe, curate. The secretary called over the names of the clergy, after which, the Archdeacon delivered his charge to the clergy and churchwar- dens. He expressed his gratification at seeing so many present. In his charge the Archdeacon re- ferred to the desirability of proper and suitable, ves- sels being provided for the celebration of the Holy Communion, that in former years the same had been much neglected, but during the past ten or twelve years or so a vast improvement had taken place. He also dwelt upon the necessity of fre- quently celebrating the Holy Communion. The Archdeacon eulogized the efforts of the clergy who had during the past few years succeeded in resto- ring so many churches, and suggested the desira- bility of forming a church building society for the archdeaconry. He also spoke upon the question of ritualism, and deprecated much the practices of the extreme ritualists. The Archdeacon stated the propriety of keeping the churchyard fences in repair, and preventing the Icliiirellyird being depastured by horses or cattle under any circumstances. The names of the churchwardens were then called over, and the list of licenses to non-resident incumbents read, upon which the meeting terminated. A Lunchoon was afterwards served up at the Castle Hotel. The Venerable Archdeacon presided, and John Thirlwall, Esq., vice chairman. Upwards of 40 of the clergy besides some of the church- wardens were present. The customary toasts were given, the health of the Lord Bishop was drank. The Rev. Garnons Williams proposed in eulogistic terms the health of the Archdeacon. The healths of the Rural Deans, coupling the name of the Rev. David Parry, and the health of the Vicar of Brecon and other toasts followed.

FOREIGN AND BRITISH BREEDS OF CATTLE. ■ Continued.. THE ZEBU. In India the species of oxen called the Zebu is very nnmerous, they vary in size from ordinary cattle to that of a Newfoundland dog the limbs are of a deer-like shape, in the shoulders there is a fatty lump, which has been known to weigh 50lbs. they are used for the purposes of com- merce, draught, bearing burdens, &c. they are also used by the Princes of India in their state processions; their motion is easy, they can trot and gallop almost as freely as a horse, and can go about 20 to 30 miles a day—some say 50 or 60 miles The milk-white colour is highly esteemed by the Hindoos, as having a character of sanctity, hence the name of "Brahmin Bull." Very often rich Hindoos dedicate a bull of this color to SIVA, one of their gods he is branded with the emblem of the god, and is thenceforth exempt from labour and wanders where he will, no one strikes or molests him,—if he lies down in a narrow lane no one can pass until he gets up of his own accord he feeds in gardens and rice fields; or whenever he chooses to enter the market place, helps himself to the choicest fruit, or the" most tempting pastry on the green-grocer or confectioner's stalls, the poor trades- men being silent but no doubt unwilling witnesses of his dainty repast. We might observe here the wTmderful arrange- ment of Providence in the adaptation of animals to the donate. In India and hot climates the heavy ox of Holland and England could not exist for any time, hence we find a less bulky and more agile beast like the Rebu. THE YAK, OR GRUNTING OX. In the North of India and Central Asia another species of foreign cattle meets us—the Yak, or, Grunting Ox. He is stout in form, short muscu- lar limbs, and his tail resembles that of the horse- hence he has been called by some the horse-tailed Buffalo they vary much in size, there must have been some exceedingly large—judging from the tail of one preserved in the British Museum which measures six feet long they are the only species cultivated by the Tartar tribes they are a hardy sure-footed beast, the hair supplies them with ropes and tents, their skins provide them with coverings the milk is good and yields excellent butter. A profitable trade is carried on by the Tartars in disposing of the white tails which these oxen possess. These tails are dyed of various colours, and are in request all over the east, being used as standards in Persia, Turkey, &c. In India they are used as fans, with beautiful ivory handles for driving off the flies the Chinese use them for ornaments on their bonnets—on the same principle as our modern ladies have so extensively patronised Natural History in the use of birds, wings, &c. as ornaments. One peculiarity of this anim Ll is that instea.d of bellowing like ordinary cattle it grunts like a pig.

BRITISH CATTLE. The origin of our present breed of domestic cattle has been a subject of much discussion. Their introduction into these islands is neither known in history or asserted in tradition. The bulk of evidence seems in favour of the theory that as- signs their origin to the race of wild animals of the Urus race. Julius Caesar describes some of these as existing when he landed in Britain, as being little short of an elephant in size. Many fossil remains oi this species liftye-lwn found and quite correspond with the description of Gesar. The climate of Great Britain and Ireland is pro- ductive of great variety of pastures, and as it is on the supplies of food thlit the size and strength of the animals much depend, we find a corresponding variety in the breeds of cattle and their condition. Caesar informs us that the people lived on milk and flesh to the neglect of tillage another writer of the same period states that such was the rich- ness of the Irish pastures that the cattle of the "Green Isle" would burst if allowed to feed on them too long. Tillage received little or no atten- tion for many centuries, and during the feudal times immense stores of food were laid up. We read that in the castle-of one of the Spencers, in the month of May, when nearly all the winter stock was cleared out there was still remaining in salt 80 oxen, 600 bacons, and 600 sheep. The breeding of cattle however, was much neglected for the more profitable pasturage of sheep, indeed, so great was the evil that in 1555, Parliameut in- interfered, and a law was enacted to the following effect :—" Forasmuch as of late years a great num- ber of persons in this realm have laid their land, farms, and pastures to the-feeding of sheep, oxen, runts, scrubs, steers, and heifers, &c. having no regard or care to breed up young beasts and cattle, whereby is grown great scarcity of cattle and victual, it is enacted that a cow shall be kept wherever there are 60 sheep, and a calf reared wherever there are 120 sheep." About the middle of the 12th century an agricultural writer, Fitz- stephens, mentions a number of wild oxen that infested the woods round London. Hector Boece, in his History and Chronicles of Scotland, mentions a wild species of cattle.—" At this toun (Stirling) "began the grat wod of Calidon. This wod of Calidon ran fra Stirling throw Monteith and Stratherne to Atholl and Loehquhabir. In this wod was som time quhit bullis with crisped and curled mane, like feirs lionis, and thoucht they semit meik and tame in the remanent figure of thair bodyis, they were mair wild than ony uther beistis, and had sic hatrent aganis the societe and cumpany of men, that they come nevir in the woodis. Also sone as any man invadit thir bullis thay ruschit with terrible press on him that tliay dang him to the eird; fcakand na feir of houndis, scharp lancis, nor uther maist penitrive wappinis." The family name of Turnbull in Scotland is sup- posed to have been derived from one of their an- cestors who turned a bull which had nearly slain King Robert Bruce in Calidon Wood. Wild white cattle, the supposed descendants of those alluded too, stil remain at Chillingham Castle, at Northumberland, and at the Duke of Hamilton's, in Lanark; th{y have however lost the mane as- cribed to them by early writers, and the female is destitute of horns they are about the size of West Highland cattle, a dun white color, the muzzle is black, inside of ear red, hoof and tongue black. It appears from various notices that a race -of cattle similar to these existed in Wales, as early as'the 10th century. Howell Da, surnamed the good, describes certain cattle as being white and having red ears at a subsequent period we are informed that as a compensation for offences against certain Princes of Wales-there were' de- manded 100 white cows with red ears, that if the cattle were black 150 were to be given. The breeds of cattle as they are now found 111 Great Britain are almost as various as the soils of the different districts they have, however, been very conveniently classed according to the com-j parative size of the horns;—the Long Horns, the Short Horns, the Middle Horns, (not derived froi-a i a mixture of the preceding, but a distinct breed;) t and lastly the Polled or Hornless Cattle. These have, however, been mjxed, and so many mongrel breeds result that it is often really difficult to pro- cure the real "Simon pure." The question arises which is the original breed of English Cattle ? The short horns and the polls can have no claim the first is evidently of foreign extraction, and is of modern culture the iatter although it has ex- isted in certain districts from time immemorial, was probably an accidental variety. Youatt and others are inclined to give the palm to the middle horns this breed is found in its greatest purity in Devonshire.

Physicians of all nations have been comparing notes at a cholera conference at Weimar. One point on which all present were agreed was that the malady is most frequently introduced into a. country by travellers from abroad. An all but unanimous opinion was also expressed that cholera only exists under certain conditions of soil and water supply. The discussion, which promises to yield valuable results, closed with the adoption of resolutions recommending disinfection, cleanliness, and a supply of pure water, as the most effective means of preventing the disease spreading.
