Messrs. Gilmour and Thomson, from Glasgow, and Messrs. Grey and Hutcheson, tom Edinburgh sod Leith, all re spectable and intelligent fleshes's, being prrvw•sly appointed as judges, entered upon business about eleven o'clock, wheat after the must complete investigadium, the difTereut premiums were awarded as follow : Ist. To Mr. Dunlop, fur ilia lot of fire fattest cattle, of the short-horned breed, bi. 51. 2J. To Mr. Alexander Brodie, for the lot of fire fattest, cattle, of any other breed, 51. ss. 3d.

The object of the B•tctrty being to ascertain what dercription of •lock, or degree of fale►w, is worth must per pound to the butcher, allowed, of course, the gainers of the first cud second to compete for the third premium also. There were but few pens of sheep Lou the field, but the whole were excellent according to their different thoracic,. 'aud ag.•►. _ _ Ist.

Messrs. Hogue mid Welsou had a sweepstake, of a guinea each for the best Highland wetber, which was gained by Mr. Wilson. The two sheep were killed immedoetely after the show, when the best was found to weigh 112th by the caress., with 17Th.. of and the other was 1061 b. with 191 b. of tallow. Fur fat and weight these have been rarely equalled, and the qua. lity of site meal, especially the lightest sheep, gave the utmost aatisfacti to a great cusicouse of intelligent specta tors. Messrs Dunlop and Hogue had likewise a sweepstakes fur the lot of live best, or fattest cattle, of one guluea a side, which was gained by Mr. Wigue. A considerable nom. her of the cattle were sold on the ground, but at priers which afforded a very pour remuneration for the care and expruse bestowed in briugiug them to so high a state of maturely.

All the office-bearers, the Must Noble the Marquis of Tweed. dale bring Provident, were unanimously re.eleeted; but whets the award of the judges was auuouuced, an objection was raised against payiug the first premium for cattle, tos the ground that they wire nut really short /ewes. It was pretty obvious that those whit started th■t objectiou meant, that the cattle is question not brine what are understood by the Teenotatr, or improved short horns, could have use claim whatever to the premium offered. On this it was observed by oue of the. most intelligent and most eaperienced mem. ben of the Society, that forty years ago Relater the name of New 'renewer, nor of improved short hurus, was ever heard of, yet at that period the shurt•hurnrd breed of cattle were as well known as at preseut ; and that the cattle is dispute sere of that description, must be obvious to every person in soy ' _-• KNOCKING. • [From a new Monthly Publication, emitted" TlmOkanet."l MR. EDITOR—I beg leave to address you on a subject in which myself and my _fraternity are very much interested. You cannot. Sir, have fail ed to observe that the principal part of a fisolatow's duty is to be able to knack well at a door. So much depends upon this, that since distinctions in dress have been given up, and the aeon a better dressed than the piaster, a proper style of knocking is now the only difference between the great and the vulgar. Now, Sir, as I base turned my hand to this subject for years, I wish to be of some use in my brethren, stud purpose to give lessons on knocking, according to the strict principles of rank and qatu/ity. I shall, hereafter, send you an adver tisement for my course of lectures; need I have no doubt I shall be able to make some noise in the world. In the mean time, that you may be able to give me a gond word, I shall mention a few pars oculars relative to the science of knocking, which. I hope, will chew that I am not, like nisei) , pre tenders, uuacquaiuted with the subject I have taken in hand. In knocking, the great business is to give a suit able idea of your master's consequence ; the knock, therefore, must not be single, but a series of knocks, arising one above another iu loudness ; sufficient n ot only to give notice to the porter (for if that were all, one tap would be sufficient), but to shake the nerves of the company, and prepare them for some thing grand. I have often thought of a scale of knocks that shall distinguish the different ranks of the peerage, from the Baron up to the Blood Koyal—but it won't do; for, independent of the stupidity of my brethren (a lamentable thing!) I never could find a Baron who was williug to knock under to any //eke in the land ; nay, Sir, what is worse, the merchants of the City, and the bankers, ever since they forsook Lom bard-street fur the west end of town, have reduced knocking to such a state of anarchy, that I know not whether I shell ever be able to arrange the number of taps in a proper series. It is necessary, however, to keep off the mob; I therefore restnct all persons who come to deliver miesmges, ask favours, or visit the servants, to one single tap, and no more. Nor will I permit two taps to any curate, half-pay officer, author, or other needy person. There are a sort of genteel visitors, distant rela tions, and sixteenth cousins, whom my Lord arks now and then to hike a bit of dinner, when he is sure nobody else will be there ; :hey may be allowed two or three taps, because it may be useful to them in the way of their business ; but they must not go au far as to alarm the neighbourhood. My own proficiency in knocking is now so well established, that my Lady will never venture abroad without mr ; and. as •she pays a great number of visit., at all which I do her knocks, she very ge. nerously considers it in my wages. When we have company, and one of the clumsy new-caught York shire footmen (fellows that belong io country gen tlemen) attempt to knock, she exclaims, " Lord I only hear such u horrid style of knocking—l'd die before I would enter a house after such a knock !" lam so tenacious of my knocker, that I tierce fail to be very tingly if any visitor presumes to use it improperly. It was but the other day a poor devil of is parson's wife, some (fishnet relation, gave three knocks at our door ; I told her pretty sharply, that that was not the way we did filings in London, and warned her in future to content herself with one knock. Indeed, my heart relented a little when she mentioned her being a widow, with sin helpless children ; hut you know, Sir, if we were to give up this point, there would be un end of all rank and quality, and it would be impossible to know who were at the door before we opened it. I have taken the liberty to send you these for remarks, merely as prelommeries to my Course of Lectures, the tenses of which will be a dvertised in all due time ; and I have no doubt that before win ter, when the town tills, I *hall have reduced knock ing s ; r to a perfect and regular sperm, in spite of dust levelling principle which scents to threaten kaork e for of " all men etre equal," all knockers must Ise equal too ; and I leave you to judge what fine work that would make amoug people of rank. • . 1 am, Sir, your very humble nt, Joss. Remota' St.Jameee-squire. P.S. 1 have borne fault to fiiid with the postman. awl shall address a letter to the Colvin)lkr-Ge wend on the subject. These fellows sometimes knock twice, but our porter knows them so well, that he always bids the muids open to them. There wits w good supply of gram of every de. script's's. ut Norwich market on Saturday, and new wheat declined about la. per womb; other priers much as last week.—The exhibitmi cf cattle was tolerably large, but few purchases were made.

A communication has reached us, to which we deem it expedient to give the 'tidiest publicity. least a misrepresentation of the fact upon which it is founded may furnish a subject of rejoicing to the lower ch i les of Oraugemen, or of unreasonable jea lousy to the snore enlightened close of the commu nity. The circumstances by which the Lord Mayor came by a Knighthood. and the promise ohs Baro netcy, are simply-these: A. soon as the procession 'inched the Castle, his Excellency conferred the honour of Knighthood on the Lord Maeor ;• but his Lordship intimated to Mr. Blake, the Catholic Barrister, that the Sheri& had been knighted, and that on such occasions it was customary for the Lord Mayor to look for a higher honour. M►. Blake generously acted from the impulse of the moment, and represented to the Marquis Wellesley the suggestion of hits Lordship. The Noble Mar quis then kindly added the promise of recom mending hint for a Baronetcy. Thus a Lord Mayer of Dublin, and a Lord Mayor, in the composition of whose character liberality is no drstingnishiog ingredient, is indebted to the generous recomm-n -dation of a Catholic Gentleman for the honour that he hiss received. In this favour it is evident there ix nothing 'political ; in it there is nothing that can possibly be construed into an approval of the past conduct of the Lord Mayor. Indeed we have some reason for asserting, that Lord Wellesley was not apprised of any thing that Mr. James—we beg par don—Sir Kingston James, may have done to con stitute him a person of political interest to any party in this country. He recognised him only as the Chief Magistrate of the metropolis of Ireland, and if any other motive be even insinuated, we have abundance of proof before us to disprove the mai nuation.—(Dablin Freenvon./ EFATE OF THE COUNTRY. lIILLINNT. A notice was served on the gamekeeper of P. Power, Esq. of Tibbroughney, commanding him to quit his house and service within seven day., " or have his coffin." The party who made the ser vice fired several slug. through his windows. • A notice was posted at Pdtown, cautioning and desiring Mr. Sandy., Rector of Fiddown, to di4- ' charge Adams, his Proctor, to reduce his tithes to Is.

A similar notice was posted, stating that Adsmr, the Proctor, should not, under any circumstances. be allowed long to live, " so to prepare for death."
