A portion of the royal stock bred by her Majesty the Queen on the Elam sh farm, Windsor-park, under the supervision of Mr Brebner, was forwarded on June 30 to the East India Docks, en route for New Zealand. The consignment consists of a fine Hereford bull-calf about nine months old, named the Duke of Edinburgh, out of compliment to the recent Royal Visitor to the southern hemisphere, and a boar and sow of the pure black Berkshire breed. The animals were shipped in the Siam, which leftthe East India Tjocks on July 1, for New Zealand. The stock has been purchased from the royal farm by a gentleman in that colony for breading purposes.
