THE INTERNATIONAL SHOW OF THE
ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

This is the closing day of the Battersea Show.
Arrangements have already been made for the re-
moval of a great portion of the foreign and Scotch
stock.

The steam ploughs have finished their operations
at Farningham. Mr. Fowler on Saturday is said
to have performed a most unprecedented feat. With
the double cylinder 14 horse-power engine driving
the 7 tined cultivator 6} inches deep, he is re-
ported to have broken up a considerable
piece of land at the rate of three acres
an hour. Although we do not vouch for the truth
of this statement, we believe it to be trite. It is
one of some few results which come out of what is
a simple uncompetitive examination. We made
some calculations, to which we attach no particular
importance, because the different implements were
frequently impeded by the crowds which pressed
round them, and only give them here to satisfy any
curiosity which may be felt respecting the compa-
rative powers of the different sets of steam tackle
exhibited by Mr. Fowler and Messrs. Howard.
The latter, with a 10-horse double cylinder engine
at 701 b. steam pressure, a plough which cut 90
inches in width, to a depth of to 7 inches,
turned over 3 roods per hour, or 7} acres
a day. With the grubber, at the time
we made our observations, they were working
at the rate of 9 acres in 10 hours. Mr. Fowler,
with a single cylinder 10-horse power engine, run-
ning with 601 b. to 701 b. steam pressure, was ploughing
with digging breasts, 7} inches deep, at the rate of
one acre per hour, or 12 acres per day of 10 hours.
His large 14-horse power, with 501 b. steam pressure,
with four-furrow plough taking 40 inches, 7 to 8
inches deep, inverted 31 roods an hour, or 94 acres
a day of 10 hours. Inconclusive as these calcula-
tions may be, they show at any rate that great ad-
vances have been made, and it is very encouraging
to know that from 15 to 20 of Mr. Fowler's and
Messrs. Howard's seta of steam tackle are purchased
by foreigners, and are about to proceed from this
country to lend their great shoulders to social re-
volutions—to be produced so quickly, and silently,
and surely, by no other agents.

The first two columns of the Nord of to-day are de-
voted to a legal judgment, in which are set forth the various
steps in an action for damages which was commenced against
that journal in 1861 by Dr. Bernard, the French refugee. I Towanla the end of August the King of Den-
