TUE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. The
admission of implements for exhibition at the Smithfield
Club Cattle Show neat we.-k, finally closed on Thursday, in
accordance with the rules of the club, and so large is the
number, that they would occupy • much larger space
than that which by possibility can be assigned to them.
Among the most prominent are Mr. M'Connick's and
Hassey's rival reaping machines. The exhibition of
seeds and agricultural produce will also be found to
be on a much more extended male than usual, the
most prominent stands being occupied by Meson.
Thomas Gibbs and Co., seediness to the Royal
Agricultural Society of England, and Messrs. Skis,
ring, of Liverpool. With respect to the cattle a most ex-
traiddisary circumstance has arisen, namely, that notwith-
standing the unprecedented number of entries over any
other year, and that the hour beyond which no admission
can take place is ten on Saturday night, up to nine o'clock
on Thursday evening but one solitary animal had arrived
at the Bazaar, namely, one of the specimens from the
Flemish farm, contributed by his Royal Highness Prince
Albert. It is rumoured that amongst the eontributors
some entries have been made in the name of his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales. The additional space
which has been thrown into the show yard will give
,nearly double the width in the central
amentmodation of the public, as compared with former
years.
SINGULAR AND FATAL CAB ACClDENT.—Yester-
day morning a remarkable accident caused the death of Mr.
George Lemlbitter, formerly a detective officer attached to
Bow-street Police-oflice. As Mr. Leadbitter was proceeding
home in a cab, and bad a d at the junction of Lower
Grosvenor-place with the Victoria-road, he thrust his
heed out of the window to speak to the "river, just as the
vehicle was on the turn, and the weight of his body coin-
ciding with the centrifugal tendency communicated to the
cab in the act of winding round the corner, threw the body
of the vehicle cg' the wheels, and it fell on the unfortunate
gentleman. He was at once removed to St. George's lice-
pital, but was found to be quite dead, and there is every
reason to believe that he was killed on the spot.

manton, near Leeds, was killed on the Midland Railway.
