Notwithstanding that the consumption of food has unquestionably fallen off, owing to the late panic in the commercial world; and, although the prices of fat stock have, consequently, shown a tendency to give way, we never recollect a period during which so much general interest has been shown in reference to our fat stock shows as was the case here this morning. At an early hour the market was thronged with visitsrs from nearly all parts of the United Kingdom, as well as from the Continent, to inspect and admire perhaps the finest col lection of animals ever shown in this or any other market in the world. As the day advanced, the number of •isitors rapidly increaeed, yet, from the enlarged space included in the market's area, there was ample room for close inspection without inconvenience. That the show of beasts was of the richest order of merit will be understood when we observe that fully nine-tenth■ of them were considerably above average weight, and otherwise in unusually fine condition. The increase, be it understood, was not so much in the qaantity of fat carried by the collective lsreeds, but in their general symmetry. At was the ca-e in Baker street, there were not so many obese marvels as in some former years; but the absence of ex*.reme fatness inay be noted as one of the great merits of the present show. The fat being laid on evenly and well is the result of well-shaped and well-bred animals being in more general demand on the part of the butchers and coneamers. Formerly, by dint of stuffing, fat was often deposited everywhere save in the right places, and the result was that the buyers of both beasts and sheep lost considerable sums by the stock when slaughtered. We hail this change in the system with much satisfaction, because we are perfectly convinced that our breeders and feeders have at length got into the high road to additional fame. From the foregoing observations it will be seen that the supply of beasts was one of no ordinary merit, and we may now briefly glance at each of the leading classes, the more fully to determine their positive excellence. These classes we may call Scots, Herefords, Devons, Short-horns, Sussex, and Welsh. When we consider the great disadvantages, as to climate, under which the Scotch graziers are suffering, compared with those re siding in the " sunny south," great surprise may well he expressed at the wonderful animals which were shown from the " far north." Whether wo carefully consider the high value of their primer, consequently most selling, parts to the butcher, or the supreme quality of the inferior joints, it must be admitted that the word "perfection" may be fairly applied to them. Those who witnessed the splendid collection of Scots, the property of Mr. William M'Combie, of Tilly four, exhibited by Mr. Daniel Maidw.ll, will at once understand the bear ing of these remarks. Not a feult could be found with there ; though, on the cairn hand, it is to be regretted that they should have been reserved for an open market. Still, they added greatly to the show, and proved to the world what Scotland really can produce. Mr. M'Com bie'sox exhibited in the bazaar was purchased by Messrs. Banister and Bidboraugh, of Windsor, to supply the royal table on Christmas Day. The collection of Herefords has seldom or never been repelled. Amongst it were very few what may b t termed large animal-, the supply being almost wholly composed of a raise admirably suited for general con sumption. As regards the Devons, the excellence of their condition was fully equal to that of the Here fords, and the " men of the we-t inurt: red in full average strength. The short horns, too, were of more than average merit. Taere was everything to admire in them, even though the fat was not " plastered" upon them so much as at some former e;hibitione. From Sussex there was au increased show of oxen, all in first-rats order ; but the graz'ers in that county can do even greater things by a more extended cuttivation of the turnip. They have now a aide field opened to their enterprise and industry, from a separate class having at length been allotted to them in Baker- street, There were about 300 extraorditary prime Welsh runts on sale, an .I which elicited the marked encomiums of the •isitors. As regard the sheep here to-Jay, we must admit that the supply, taken as a whole, fill short of our expecta tions. True, there were come very fine and very large animals on offer; but the bulk of the show was of a second-rate character. And here is the result of prema ure forcing, and of what is termed "early maturity ; " whilst, no doubt, an macaw:ate selection of stock for crossing purposes has led to a decreased eizs and sappy. Exceptions, however, should be noticed, and we have no hesitation in referring to choice specimens of the Lincolnshire long. s °oiled, bred direct from that country. Tney were shown by ALt , ,,srt• El.,nd, Hancock, Wood card, and Smith ; and com priced 30 from the flock of Marshall 'leanly, Esq., of Croft ; 10 from H. Seek, E,q , of Wai:•flett Ilall ; 29 from J.

There were also a few splendid sheep of the same breed, the property of J. Cook, E,ci , of Norfolk. The whole of them possessed that pecul;ar quality which the county of Linciln is noted fur pro ducing, via., a large proportion of meat, compared with In this respect the breed must be considered superior to what are termed the new Leicester'. From Norfolk, Suffelt, Essex, Suss , x, some fine sheep came to hand. _ . iliZe.

A portion of the unsold stock exhibited in Baker-street was here to-day. A moogst it wo noticed a shorthorn, the property of Thomas Whichoote, Bart , which took the second prize of 101. In addition to the beasts from Scotland already referred to, Mr. D. Mard well had on show some wonderful shorthorns—over 219 stones — forwarded by Menus. Wiseman, residing near Spalding, as also some prime animals of the same breed, fed by B.lberiegham, Es 1., of Oxford Abbey, Norfolk. On the stand of Mr. Robert Morgan we observed one of the most even lots of beasts ever sold by any one salesman. They were forwarded by the following breeders :—Wm. Thomas, Esq., of Holbead ; the exe cutors of Robert Cook, Esq., of Restland ; Fisher, Esq., of Weston, near Spalding ;L. Bird, E-q., of Ferret End ; Hewson, E , q., of Crowland ; Robert Leeds, EQq., of West Sexham, Norfolk ; Edmund Fer rer, Esq., of Sporle ; Josh. Freeman, Esq., of Dersirg ham ; John Allday, Esq., of Solehill, near Bonningharn ; and from Messrs. Martin, Cooper, Mitchell, Stoddart, Milne, &c., residing in Scotland. Messrs. Giblett and Gurrier exhibited some remart• ably fine animals, fed by Messrs. Milne, Stewart, Mennie, Martin, Garden, &c., residing in Scotland ; besides some prime breeds from the home counties. Mr. William Collins showed some wonderful beasth, the property of Joho Hudson, Esq,, of Castleacre, Nor. folk ; Mr. T. Scrivener, of Stanton ; W. Brands, Esq., of Great Stace ; and Mr. W. Shaw, of Cotton End. Mr. Thomas Dixon had - also a good show of beasts, fed by the Marquis of Exeter, Sir Thomas Whichcote, Bart. ; Mr. D o kets, contractor, of Bermondsey ; Mr. John Little, and others. Mr. Vorley's stand was well filled with good sym metrical stock, f ,rwarded by Mr. Sweeton, of Lincoln shire ; Mr. J. Seppings, of Norfolk ; and Mr. Cooper, of Hilbrae, N.B. Considering the immense supply in the market, and its unusually fine quality, there was what may be termed a fair demand for most breeds. A very few superior Seats sold at ss. per B:b., bu; the general top quotation for beef was the same as on Monday last, viz, 43. BJ. per 81be. We have before alluded to the general quality of the sheep ; but we must here notice those offered by Messrs. Weal. They were certainly very prime nal. inal4, and comprised 20 Dawns from Richard Wakley, Esq., of ,Lawrence End, near Luton, Beds. 70 Glou cestere, from Richard Rowland, Esq., of Creslow, near Aylesbury ; and several pens from Berkshire, Oxf , rd. shire, and Hertfordshire. At the stand of Mr. Gurrur were some extraordinary Cotswolds, bred and fed by Messrs. Hewers and ce hers ; also some fine half-brede from Mr. Edm trls, together with several pens of good Downs. Some of the C )tswolds realised 71. each. We understand that the latter breed is becoming more gene rally used for crossing purposes. Mr. Starkey exhibited 20 very good half-brede, the property of the Earl of Leicester, of Holdham ; and 50 from S. Abbott, E q , of Castleacro; Messrs. Parkenon and Mawer, exhibited 5 wonderful LiucAns, fed by Marshall Heally, E.g., of Croft ; FRI some of the same breed forwarded by R. Ererard, E.q., of Fulney House, near Spalding; there were 6 very fine Hampshire Downs shown by Mr. G. Bullock, bred by Mr. Sharp, of Rernen hvn, Haub- y-on-Thatnes. This gentleman took the first prix i in the show yard. The total number of sheep in the market was.; only moderate. For nearly all breeds the demand was inac tive, but without leading to any quotable change in prices compared with Monday last. The best old Downs sold at 53 41 per 81bs. _ _ Calves ware in short supply and good request, at a further advance in prices of 2d per 8113% In pigs oLly a limited business was doing, at lite rates. The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, &c., were 3,600 abort horns ; from other parts of England, 2,800 Herefords, Down , a, &c.; from Scotland, 700 Scots ; and from Ireland, 200 oxen.

Barley was quite le to 2s lower, and the value of all other produce had a downward ten dency. The French markets, under the influence of numerous orders for flour received from this country, have ruled steady ; but, i❑ the United States and elsmhere, the trade genes ally is heavy. Only moderato supplies of English grain reached our market last week. From abroad, we received 18,916 quarters of wheat, 18,513 barley, 18,981 oats, 2,161 beans, 7,710 linseed, 11,190 rapeseed, 580 sundry seeds, 2,210 sacks and 20,:411 barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up from market, this morbing, coastwise and by land carriage, were very limited, and the show of samples was consequently trifling. As several buyers wore i❑ attendance from distant ports there was more disposition shown to purchase. The de mand, however, wr:s far fr_•m active, yet ESECX, Kent, and other growths mostly changed hands at last Monday's cur 'i he general condition of the samples was tolerably good. There was an extensive chew of most kinds of foreign wheat. Fine dry samples sold at last week's quotations, but middling and damp parcels met a dull inquiry, at baroly previous rates. In floating cargoes of grain only a limited Imiiness was transacted, Malt—the supply of which was by no means extensive -ruled inactive, on former terms. Wo have no change to notice in the value of oats, the demand for which was by no means active. The show of beans was rather on the increase, and sales progressed slowly, at is to 2s per qr. less money. We bad a d u ll inquiry for peas, and, in some instances, the quota tions were is per qr. lower than on Monday last. The fluctuations in the value of flour were trifling ; but the demand was chiefly confined to actual wants.

WOOL. The public sales of low wool were brought to a close on Friday. During tho ir progress, about 4,000 bales were sold at a reduction of from 25 to 30 per cent. In the pri vate contract market the quotations are very uncertain, and some kinds of English have changed hands at a further decline in prices of ld. per lb. The imports have amounted to 1,840 bales from Algoa Bay. 1, 482 from Taganrog, 231 from Natal, 80 from Madras, 12 from Calcutta, 227 fro Table Bay; 279 from M o g adore, and 47 bags from Sevill m e.

GEORGE'S CHANNEL.—LIVER! POOL, Sunday.—The Times, screw steam ship, arrived from Dublin this morning.

LIV INGSTONE.---Dr. Livingstone has this week sailed for Lisbon, its order to make arrangements with the Portuguese Government relative to the naviga tion of the Z tinbese River, and commercial intercourse with those regions of the interior where the coast is under the Crown of Portugal. The en lightened interest already taken in African exploration by the King of Poi tugal and his Ministers leaven lit le doubt of the success of this mission of Dr. Livingstone, whocarries with hie, private letters of the highest weight, as well as the official papers of Lord Clarendon and the British Government.
