YEOVIL -Tun CHRISTMAS SHOW 07 MUT,
de.—The inhabitants of Yemeni hail good canes to
be justly proud of the " creature comforts " displayed
at the various houses of business in time town, by the
numerous competitors fur puldie favour. We our-
selves never before witnessed a better supply uf meat
in the provinces ; and we may include poultry, grocery,
confectionary, and fruit, that our tralesuien
placed before the public, for the national feast of old
Father Corimmtmas ; and our only wish is, that all,
pie.r as well as rich, have been enabled to participate
iii the blessinge of the season. Messrs. Turner, Trim,
Drayten, Brooks, Patten, and 'Sodomites'', as regular
butchers, fully bore out their established reputetien
fee having a tint chin supply of meat, while their
opponents in the market were equally well supplied,
more etimecialb Mr. John Wooliosten, of East. Coker,
who bad a splendid show of fat geese, turkeys, &c.
Nor must we firget to mealtime' Mr. Felix Curtis,
poulterer. of Nleldle-street, aho had likewise an ex-
cellent supply, his premises being mon tastefully iUu
initiated. We trust, that amine ef these good thiugs
have praced the trifles of all, and "that good
digestion %sited on &petite."

Laud pia) mg the " Itraml March in Said," (in a very
creditable manner,) appeared to deeply impress many
who were present, with the painful fact that they
were inuurniimmi for one who is, in every sense of the
word, a loss to England ; and all seemed to
sjmpathise with our beloved Queen, who we are
pleated to hear ham not suffered in her health as was
anticipated she would. We heartily join in the
{naive of every true English heart, that tier Majesty
may he spared for many more years to reign over us,
and may she be ever blerwal in Ito children, that by
their affection she way be comforted in her domestic
trOttlile.

presented to Mr. Charles Noble (the bugler of the
