MURDER AT BRIGHTON. LEWES, DEC. 14. ARRAIGNMENT or THE FRISONERS. John William Holloway, alias Goldsmith, aged 26, described in the calendar as a mariner, but in the indict• ment as a labourer, was put to the bar, together with Ann Kennet, aged 23, charged with the wilful murder of Celia Holloway, the wife of the prisoner Holloway, at Brighton. During the arraignment the male prisoner conducted him self with a ferocity fully in accordance with the atrocious nature of his crime. The Court was excessively crowded, rend upon the names of the prisoners being called by the clerk of the arraigns, a general thrill of horror seemed to run through the audience, which was expressed by a low deep murmur that produced a solemn effect. The female prisoner, on her name being called, burst into tears and fainted ; the prisoner Holloway boldly stood forward, and seemed to beard the Court with a look of fierce defiance. Upon the indictment being read, Holloway appeared con founded by the verbose and technical forms of expression. He at length exclaimed, " Bead all that again, I don't understand a word of it." The indictment was again read. At another point he exclaimed, with evidPnt surprise, " What ! does that mean me ?" On the prisoner being asked whether he was " guilty ?' he fiercely exclaimed, " I am not guilty of all that thy,' paper charges me with." By the - COURT—Do you plead " Guilty" or " Not Guilty ?"—Holloway (with the utmost ferocity)—By the lows of my country I am, not guilty till you can prove MC so. By the Con: K t —Well, you Plead " Not Guilty." Re tuove the - prisoners from the bar. . 1 :a female Kennet was almost lifted from the bar. She seemed unable to stand. Holloway again looked fe rociously round the Court, and retired with a firm and bold step. TRIAL. OF THE PRISONERS. A case of minor importance having been tried, that of Holloway and Kennet was again called. The anxiety of an immense crowd outside of the Court occasioned some little tumult in their effort to gain admittance. Order was suet' restored, and the prisoners were put to the bar. golhaway scowled at the audience, and kept looking round skid shaking his head with a ferocious daring. Ann Ken net seemed more resigned though still agitated. The indictment was again read. It contained several counts, one of which charged both of the prisoners with the capital et ime, and another charged Ann Kennet, as an accessory, aiding, abetting, comforting, and assisting the prisoner Holloway during the commission of the offence; a third count alleged the murder to have been committed with a knife, the first alleging it to have been perpetrated with a cord. During the statement of the Counsel the prisoner took pencil notes, and once interrupted the speech. The female prisoner looked incessantly with an affectionate and sup. plicatory expression at her companion at the bar, who, however, never once regarded her, but stood as if uncon scious of her presence, or at least indifferent to it. THE EVIDENCE. David 'ltascall—l am a labourer at Brighton. On the 25th of July I went into a copse near Preston. I observed a spot of ground loose, and moved it with my stick. I dr e w out a piece of red garment, and perceived a smell. I mentioned it to my neighbours. On the 12th of August I went again, with Gillon, and I saw the same piece of garment. Abraham Gillon—l went to P►eston on the 12th of August with the last witness. Next day I went again vith an officer, and opened the ground. I first dug out one thigh, then another thigh, and then the hotly. It smelt very offensive. The ground looked rather fresh, as if it had been disturbed about a month. The body had stays on. The prisoner (fiercely)—l believe you and Mascall found the body and buried it again. The Couier—This is not the time for your observations. You may ask questions if you please. W. Elfiek—l interred the body in Preston churchyard. It was disinterred, and I fitted the body and thighs to a head which was eterwards found. They all fitted. The box and cord now in Court I received from Folksrd, the high constable. Marks of blood are on the inside of the box. Cross-examined by Holloway—Gillon told me he had found something like a body in the copse, and wished me to go there again with him. I found two thighs on the left side. The prisoner—You are a false man. I don't plead my innocence, but if that body bad not been removed you haveforswoi n yourself. [Here Ann Kennett was obliged to be removed from the Court.] The prisoner—May I be allowed to speak, my Lord ? The Coo wr —No, not at present. The prisoner—But what I want to say I must say now. Nothing has been brought forward in my favour, though all the papers against me have been. Ann Kennet was again brought into Court. W. Muit—l went to Mrs. Lever's house, in Margaret street, on the 17th of August, and examined a privy, which was common to four houses there. I found two arms, two legs, and the head of a human being, with two parts of a bed-tick. Clothes were on the arms and legs. The limbs were in a decaying state, and when I took bold f the head the hair came off. W. Pilbearn—l am a police-officer at Brighton. On the 13th of August I took Kennet into custody at her lodgings for the murder. Next day I fund on her pre mises two little shifts, and one pair of infant's shoes, with some lace, stockings, and a window-curtain. Some of teens were concealed behind a chest of drawers. I knew Celia Holloway six years. I have only heard that the lodgings were those of Kennet. Cross-examined by the prisoner—The things appeared to have been put behind the drawers for concealment. There were no clothes on the limbs when I saw them. They had been taken off. John Hardgrave—l am a surgeon at Brighton, On the 13th of August I went to Preston, and was shown a body by Elfick, the constable. He showed me a body, and two thighs disjointed at the knee and the hip. From ex amining the state of the lungs, it appeared she must have died of suffocation. There were no adhesions or signs of disease in the lungs. She was in a state of pregnancy. Cross-examined by Counsel—Mr. Richardson, Mr. Hewitt, Mr. Lawrence, and an apprentice were present at the opening. It was on Sunday, August 16tb, that the body was opened. Decomposition had not commenced. No hair was on it. It was completely bare. I saw the hair detached. The eyes were very much decomposed. They were dissolved ; but this did not appear till the eye lashes were removed. There was no colour in the face. It was like a sheet of whitish yellow paper, or:a piece of parchment. A countenance would not be cognizable about two months alter death. It would be cognizable for a month. Thought it had been merged in a privy fur a month. From the saline particles of a privy a body is preserved by being submerged in it. At this time the wea ther was exceedingly hot. Somers Clerk—l am solicitor to the prosecution. This paper now produced is the marriage certificate of the prisoner Holloway with the deceased. Here an affecting scene took place ; the father of the prisoner Kennet appeared near the dock, and the prisoner burst into tears and threw herself into his arms. Charles Chatfield proved the marriage of the parties. He had been taken up for an :illegitimate child. The parish did not make him marry. The prisoner exclaimed, " But it did though, and you advanced the money, and made me drunk. You and your parish.hav e brought me to ruin by your villainy. My heart is near broke by the villainy of you and your parish. W. Heely was reaping corn within four rods where the body was found. I discovered the box now produced with the cord. Cross.exatiaissod by the prisoner —You say you found the box, or two pieces . ? Wituess—Yes. Prig) ucr ,....4ud those are th e saute, you say ? Wit nets-Yee. Prisoner—You take your oath to that, do you ? Wit ness—Yes. Prisoner—You are sure of that, and will stand by what you have said ? Witness.—Yes. Prisoner—You said that the box was all over blood. I don't see any blood. (The box was horribly smeared with blood, and the prisoner looked at it undismayed.) By the COURT-The witness only said that the box was bloody.. Prisoner—Then I misunderstood him, if he did not say so. Solomon Nathan Burncastle, a pawnbroker at Brighton —Kennet came to pawn on the 15th of July, at my shop, a shawl and various clothing. She gave the name of Ann Goldsmith, Margaret -street. This is the shawl. I ad vanced l 6d, upon it. On the same day she pawned what I now produce—two cotton gowns, a gingham gown, and apron. She gave the name of Brown, for I questioned her about the small size of the gowns. She said she lived at No. 7, Carlton-row. Numerous other things pledged by the prisoner on the same day were now produced. They were artic:es of wearing apparel of a very common description. They all appeared to belong to a very small person. Amelia Symmonds—l knew the deceased. She had iived with Inc four months up to the 14th of July. She lived with her si,ter. No loan was living with her. Kennet used to come to bring money to the deceased, and she said she brought it from her husband. On Monday, ten thy , before the 14th of July, she brought her is., end said to Celia Holloway, " I have brought it from your hus band." Celia replied, "Is that all you have brought me ?" She appeared angry, and said—" I have nothing to eat—what am I to do with ls. ? I will go to the over seer, to know w hi c h J o h n i s to k eep — hi s w if e or hi s She took the poker and struck Kennet twice. Kennet took hold of her, and said, " You are too little to hit, but mind, you shall suffer for this." Kennet went away very angry. She repeated the words twice or three times. On the 14th of July I went out, and returned at one. Celia was crying, and stated why she cried. The biggest part of her things was gone—her trunk and bed were gone. The tick now produced was the same that belonged to her bed that was taken away that day. About four Holloway came and remained half an hour. Celia went with him. He had a little bundle under his arm, and she had a little basket with some bread and butter in it. Celia was preg nant. On the next morning Holloway came again to my house. The clothes now produced (from the pawn brokets) were part of Celia's clothes taken front my house on the 14th of July. Cross-examined—Kennet was a large woman, and could have mastered Celia Holloway, when she abused her and truck her with a pok-r. Kennet _explained that she would do her no violence, though she would suffer for it. Kennet told Celia that she (Kennet) had been mar ried to Holloway undrr the name of Goldsmith. Kennet's father (in tears)—My Lot-0, may I be per mitted to speak ? Mr. CLARKSON-Pray hold your tongue ; speak to the prisoner's attorney. Frances Symmonds—l am going on for nine years old. If I don't tell the truth I shall go to hell. I remember Holloway coming to my mother's, and carrying the box away. When he took away the box, Celia said, " Why should I not go with you ?" And he said, " You will have enough of going once... Celia cried, and said she did not think he would come back:again. Holloway then came for the bed, and Celia and he Vk en t away together. Prisoner—Who told you, my pretty maid, to say what you have said—your father or your mother? Witness— None of them. nisoner—Well, my maid, do you remember what the box was lashed up with ? Witness—Yes, with cord. Prisoner— When I went away, my maid, I took the box with me. Now, did you not give me the cord from :in old chair and the sacking bottom of the bed, and did I not tie up the box with several bits of cord and a riband ? Witness—No, you had a great bit of cord in your pocket. Prisoner—Are you sure that is the cord shown you in Court ? Witness—Yes. Prisoner—My Lord, that cord was never in the house. The JUDGL—It does not signify a farthing whether it was or not. James Symmonds—l live at No. 4, Cavendish-place, Brighton. Celia lodged at my house. About a fortnight before she left, Holloway came to my house. I heard bin, ask her why she had gone to the overseer. She said, because he had taken her pay off. He said, " Madam, you think you are going to frighten me, but you are mis taken." He then was so violent, that I ordered him out of doors. He went out, and then said to Celia, " You -, you shall suffer for this before many days." Cross-examined--Celia was a quiet, harmless woman. I had said before the Justices that Kennet was a quiet woman. Cross-examined by the prisoner—When you say abused Celia, I was out of doors —now, on your oath, do you not know that there was another woman at the next door, whom I might have threatened, and not Cicely? Witness—You were blowing Cicely up, and I believe you meant her. Prisoner—l don't contradict you, but do you reali mean that ? Witness—Yes. The prisoner here turned up his eyes to heaven, and be pyed some emotion. Frances Hawkins—l lived next door toSymmonds. knew Celia Holloway, and once saw Ann Kennet. It was on the 4th of July. That evening I heard Holloway quarrel with Celia, and say, " You d—d you shall suffer for this." Symmonds was going to put him out of doors. Ile went out and said, " Good night, Cely," an she said, " Good night, John." I said, "If I was you, Celia, I would not say good night to him. He said, you don't know as much about me as a great many, or you would mind your P.'s and Q's." Mary M trchant—l lived at No. 10, Donkey-row. On the 14th of July I saw the prisoner looking out of the chamber window of No. 11. He told me his name was John Gold,rnith. At a little after one o'clock (dinner time), on the 14th of July, I saw Kennet come out of No. 11. She left him looking out of the window. He said, " Ann, shall you say ?" She replied, " I don't know." She was very white-looking in the face. I went out ten minutes before two o'clock, and left my son James at home. A hole and crack are in the wall between the chambers of No. 10 and 11, Donkey-row. A half-brick is out, and there is a long crack. At nine at night I heard two voices, a female's and a man's. They were on the same floor as the hole. I heard a short cough. It was a woman's. The coughing lasted an hour at dif fer.nt times. Whilst I was at supper on the Saturday following (16th of July) I saw Holloway bring up a' long wheelbarrow at six in the trifling. He put it in the kitchen of No. 11, and locked the door and went away. I asked him if he was going to leave us already, and he said he did not know altogether about that. Ile was in expectation of a situation, and if he got it, he should not stay there. On the same night, a quarter be fore ten, lie had the barrow up in his hands with an old paper trunk on it. [The pieces in Court are like.] A feistale locked the door after him, and went to the head of the barrow. She was t and thin, and like the woman I had seen before. Holloway went with the harrow in the direction of Preston. No. I I was the only hou•c that had a shutter ; it was never open. During a temporary abseils* of the Judge, the pri soner turned - round to the audience and exclaimed—" Ne ver mind comrades, I won't hetray you." D. Folkard, the high constable of Brighton—On the 2d of September I went to Horsham, where Holloway was confined. I went into the infirmary of the gaol. Holloway (mine to me, and asked if Kennet was committed for trial, I said, " Yes, she was committed to Lewes gaol." He asked me if she hail confessed any thing. I went again on the 3d of September, with Sir David Scott and William Seymour, Esq., Mr. Tredcroft, and Mr. Wetherhy, the Chaplain, accompanied me. I went into the infirmary, Holloway came to me. Sir David Scott told bins that he attended there at his request, that he need not say any thing if he did not please, for what he did say would be liable to be revealed. Kennet was present. Holloway's statement was reduced in writing. Kennet heard all that he said. I made memoranda of her obser vations. (Here the witness read his memoranda.) She denied having pledged any thing but the shawl, and ob served that she did not go up Margaret-street with the barrow. She reviled him, and said she was innocent. Cross-examined—She called him a false villain, but de nied nothing but what I have referred to. She said she was innocent, and had nothing to reveal. Ann Lever—l reside at No. 7, Margaret-street. The prisoners at the bar lodged in the house up to Friday fol lowing the Saturday I lent them the barrow. It was re turned o❑ Saturday. Ann Kennet had said that they bad been smuggling, and I ob,erved that the barrow was all over light clay, And seemed to have been over hills and dales. 1 heard Ann Kennet once say to Holloway, " You have been with her again, you had better go for good and all." Who " her" meant, I did not know. Cross-examined—'The two prisoners lived at my house three months, as man and wife. Ann Kennet was very sociable and comfortable except as to the quarrels with Holloway. Cross-examined by the prisoner—Mrs. Lever, have you not known me quarrel with Ann Kennet? Witness— Yes, indeed I have. The prisoner (with some emotion)—Did you ever know her to return an angry word. Was she not always mild and submissive. Did she not always sit down as if broken hearted. Oh, have I not abused her shamefully, and did she ever say any thing in reply ? Witness—She was al ways submissive. Prisoner—She has been bruised dreadfully by me. Her arms have been beat black and blue. Her hairs have been actually torn from her by me, and for what reasen I don't know. It was my savage nature. The female prisoner wept bitterly. Matilda Johnson— I saw Holloway carry a bag from Margaret -street. I had seen him carry a box in the bag before. It was about a week before they left. Kennet was with him when be carried the bag. The prisoner here put a few questions in order to exone rate Kennet. W. Bowen, eleven years of age, had seen the head and legs taken out of the privy behind Lever's house, with a ticken bag and a box. Had seen Holloway, with Kennet a bag on hi s s h ou ld er , with some behind him, carrying thing in it. She had a box or a bundle. They went in the yard. I never saw them after. The bag was a ticken bag, like what was afterward s taken out of the privy. There was something like blood on one corner. Charlotte Thomas—The prisoners had lodged at my home in High-street, Brighton. The mother of Hollo way once came in crying, and said, " Oh, John; oh, John ; it's found," or, " she's found." Cross-examined by the prisortet—Can you with a .clear conscience say those words were the first used by my mo ther ? Witness—Yes, I can. Prisoner—Did she not say, John, what have you done —did you do it ? Witness—No. Prisoner—As God is my judge, these are the words. You are old enough to be my mother. God knows if I speak the truth ; I shall stand before him in a few hours, as you will shortly, and the truth will appear. Robert Salvage, a butcher—On the 19th of July I was returning from Cuckfield to Brig%ton, between nine and ten o'clock in the evening. I saw the prison , rs cooling from the spot where the body was buried. They got over the stile, passed me, and went on to Brighton. lam po sitive it' was the prisoners. They made observations on the bullock I was driving. The prisoner strongly reproved the last witness for his levity, when two human lives depended on his evidence. here his manner to the female prisoner induced the Court to order them to be separated. She became exceedingly distressed. W. Stedman produced the confession of Holloway, taken before the Magistrates at Horsham gaol, and dated the 20th of August, 1831. The other confession, dated September 3, was put in. The prisoner demanded that a subsequent confession should be put in. lie wished his letters to Sir D. Scott, and to his mother, should be read. • These later documents, some in his own handwriting, were put in and proved. The COURT said, that before the documents were read, it was a duty to warn the Jury that the female prisoner ought not to be affected by any thing Holloway had said. It would be better therefore for the Jury at once to come to a determination upon the case of Ann Kennett before the confessions of Holloway were read. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence as it af fected Kennet, and the Jury acquitted the female prisoner of the capital charge, and she was removed from the bar into confinement to wait the filing of a new indictment. The confessions of Holloway were the❑ read. The first attributed his guilt to the marriage to which he had been compelled by the parish, at the age of 19, the woman having sworn a natural child against him. Ile confessed to having strangled the woman, by stealing be hind her on the staircase under pretence of kissing her, and mangled the body, and alleged that no other person had been concerned in the crime. In the second confession, dated the 3d of September, the prisoner declared that the murder had been committed by him in conjunction with Ann Kennet. The prisoner persisted in having the others papers read. The first was an attempt to exonerate the prisoner Ann Kennet from the effects of the preceding confession, by pre tending that it alluded to another Ann Kennet, whom he had forced to assist him by threats. The prisoner was called upon for his defence. The prisoner—My Lord, since a man named Winter, who committed a shocking murder was pardoned, why should Ibe hanged ? I don't wish to live. A man who corn:nits murder ought to di e , but I have the same right to be sent out of the country that Winter had. I know I committed the murder, but it is not plain or clear in evidence. The woman might have made away with her self, and from fear I might have concealed it. I don't say that it is the case ; but it might have been the case. Whether Cicely was murdered or not, I don't wish to live ; but let me say only this—Ann Kennet is innocent. I have no witnesses to call ; I don't want witnesses to save my life. The Learned Judge PATTEaON summed up the evidence, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. After sentence was passed, he •imply ejaculated " Amen." He is to be executed at Horsham on Friday. COURT CIRCULAR. Prince EsTERHAaY, the Austrian Ambassador; Princt. TALLEYRANT), the French Ambassador ; the Russian Am bassador; Baron BuLow, the Prussian Minister; and the Russian and Austrian Ministers, on special missions, as sembled at three o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Foreign. office, and held a conference with Viscount PALMERSTON.

REFORM---- TITHES. -- The A TLAS (the largest Newspaper in the Kingdom), continues to be the fullest record of the proceedin g s in Parliament. Next Sunday it will contain, in full, the New Reform Bill—the Debstes on the Second Reading of that measure—and the Analysis of ,the Tithe Question in both flouses. The first Edition is published on Saturday afternoon in time for post. —Atlas Office, Strand, Dec. 14. THE BISHOPS.—It is in very current report at the west end 9( the town, that the Bishops intend to " rat," on the division nu the new Reform Bill—at least, that these who will not vote for it, will absent themselves, and not give their proxies against it. The fact is, that the stimulant to the opposition exhibited by the Rev. Bench on the last division, is now wanting—namely, the expecta tion of turning out the Ministry. This they are now convinced is beyond their power, and therefore they will naturally soon aecommodate . themselves to " existing eir comstances."—Stamford Champion. DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM SCARLETT.--- JAMAICA, OCT. is our painful duty to record the death of our highly-esteemed and respected Chief Justice, Sir WILLIAM SCAMLETT. He had been for some time labouring under ill health, and had removed himself and family to the mountains of Manchester for change of air, hut even there insidious death met him. While with pa. rental fondness—whilst indulging a hope of witnessing his son's restoration to health, and administering that solace which none but a parent can eatimatt—the fiat was pro nounced, and he exchanged mortality for immortality. As a barrister his talents were well known; as a Judge he was unequalled in this colony ; and those who were ready to condemn will now admit his impartiality, his love of justice, his beneficence, his unostentatious moral worth. The annals of the courts of judicature, the affection of his friends, the respect of the community, and the general gloom which the report of his death occasioned, bear ample testimony of the character he long supported. He (lied yesterday morning. CAPTURE OF SWING.—It is reported in the city that Government has made an important disco very respecting the incendiaries in the country ; that in telligence was received early in the week from East Grin stead of such a nature as to induce the authorities to dispatch two officers in a post-chaise and four by the way of Croydon, and another by the way of Lewisham ; the latter had not proceeded far beyond Lewishatn when they met with the object of their pursuit, two well-dressed men in a dashing one-horse chaise. When they had passed, the officers ordered their carriage round, keeping the chaise in view till near the Green Man turnpike, Kent-road, when they ordered the post boys to drive furiously past the chaise, to stop in the middle of the one passage, calling out to the toll-collectors to shut the other. The two gen tlemen in the gig immediately leapt out and tried to make their escape, but they were secured by the activity and promptitude of the officers, and one lodged in the toll house, the other in the cage. Such is the account given to us by a respectable inhabitant of the neighbourhood. A serious accident occurred yesterday morn ing to Mrs. M'KENzris, an elderly lady, and her daugh ter, a young lady aged about twenty years. It appears that while they were proceeding along the New-road, Rrgent'a Park, in a chaise, their horse took fright at a plumed hearse which was passing, and went off at full speed. Miss M'KENztE unfortunately, in attempting to leap out, was checked by the foot-rng, and fell with her face downwards, which was much lacerated. Mrs. M'KEszIE kept her seat until thrown out by the chaise coming in contact with a cart, which broke it to pieces. She was much injured, and both were conveyed home to their residence, in George street, Hampstead-road. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT WEDNES.. BURY, NEAR, Matictritsmt.—Tuesday morning, about eleven o'clock, a most shocking accident happened at the extensive gas-tube-works of JAMES RUSSELL, Esq., in this town. That part of the manufactory occupied with machinery for welding the gas-tubes fell in with a tremen dous crash, owing to a large quantity of iron, which was placed outside the wall, forcing it in ; the roof and all the iron fell upon the men and boys who were at work. JOHN Lova, a boy, was killed upon the spot, his body cut and mangled in a dreadful manner. THOMAS RATiiBONE, a young man, was likewise cut and bruised very much, and died almost as soon as he was taken home. JosErn DIN SEY, another bay, is also very much bruised, and one of his thighs broken to pieces shockingly, so that he is not expected to live. THOMAS SMITH is also hurt very much, but hopes are entertained that he will recover. The build ing has been giving way some time, owing to the bad state of the ground, which had been broken up some years ago, and the coal and stop niines worked out. RATHBONE, who was a fine young man, was to have been married at' Christmas. ~- SMITHFIELD CLUB CAT lii SHOW. - (FROM CORRESPONDENTS.) The thirty-third Christmas adjudication of Prizes for fact Cattle was yesterday made at those excellent premises in Gos_ well.street, styled the Show-yard. We are informed this Na. tional Fat Cattle Club have held nearly thirty annual shows at this Repository, which, being covered in from the weather, is admirably adapted to such a purpose. The Stewards, viz., Mr. Samuel Bennett, of Beckering Park; Mr. Jos. Kitelee, of Castlethorpe ; and Mr. Charles Stokes, of Kingston, with the Officers of the Club, devoted the whole of Tuesday last in classing the many ponderous animals ; and we find their general arrangement of the whole exhibition this'year reflects much credit on them as regards the public ac commodation. This will be gratifying news to those who an nually attend ; for, although the yard is so spacious, it is usually crowded with visitors for hours to an annoying excess. The of of gold and silver medals, with some additional prizes, supported by so patriotic and devoted a President, seems to have added much additional attraction to breeders and graziers in every part of the kingdom, each having sent their very best animals (which have gained the prizes at their local shows) up to this great national exhibition, to try (as we may term it) to win the Derby—in the metropolis. Lord Viscount Althorp, in company with his Grace the Duke of Richmond, F. Lawley, Esq., M.P., and others, were observed in the show-yard soon after seven o'clock yesterday morning, surrounded by the officers and a group of practical breeders and graziers. His Lordship and his Noble Guest ex pressed themselves much gratified to see such an excellent show. The Noble President examined into the individual merits of each animal with as much care and earnestness of heart as though he were himself deciding the prizes. His Lordship's assiduous attention to the business affairs of the Club, as well as to agriculture generally, seems to have gained the respect of the Members beyond mere votes of thanks, for we were fortunate enough to learn, that a few months ago some of the Members intimated a desire to testify their gratitude of his Lordship's services by the presentment of a piece of plate. It was soon found that their enthusiasm ran high, which caused the subscrip tions to be limited to one guinea each. A magnificent piece of plate, we learn, has been executed by the first artists, from designs appropriate to the occasion, and which will be presented to his Lordship, while surrounded by the members and their friends, at their annual dinner ; there fore we must reserve further remarks respecting this interesting subject at present. It seems to be the prevailing opinion that this is, speaking ge nerally, a very good show. There are some very superior ani mals, particularly in Classes I, and VI. The three Judges arrived at the yard about nine o'clock, just after his Lordship and party had left, viz. Mr. Thomas Chapman, grazier, of Stoneleigh, near Coventry; Mr. Francis Breedon, grazier, of Saddington, near Market Harborough ; and Mr. Edward Clarke, grazier, of Canwick, near Lincoln. They made their award of the prizes to the numbers placed over the animals, while in total ignorance as to whom they belonged. The Judges did not complete their decision until a late hour. The labels were put up during the night, from which we were enabled to extract as follows : CLASS 1.-CATTLE SHOWN. For the best Ox, of any breed, under 6 years old, without re. striction as to feeding, yet the kind of food to be certified. The Gold Medal, value 5 sovereigns, for the best Ox exhi bited in any of the Classes, be adjudged to Earl Brownlow ; and also the Premium of 40 sovereigns to his Lordship, for his 4 year and 7 months old Durham Ox, bred by his Lord. ship on his farm at Belton, near Grantham ; fed on grass, man gel wurzel, carrots, turnips, and oil cake; travelled in waggon 112 miles to show. Also a Silver Medal to his Lordship, as the breeder of the same. The other competitors in this Class were— Adam Bogue, Esq., of Woodhall, near Haddington, N. 8., a 4 year old and S months old Durham Ox, bred by John Rennie, Esq., of Phantassie, Scotland ; fed on grass, hay, turnips, and oil cake: travelled by sea from Scotland. The Judges parti cularly commend this ox, and they lament there is not a se cond prize for him to take.
