MIDLAND COUNTIES CATTLE AND DOG
SNOWS.

BIRMINGHAM. MONDAY EVENING.

Both these shows opened this morning. Long
before mid-day Biogley-ball was densely crowded, amongst
the visitors there being the aristocracy and county families
from all parts of the county. The dog show aeemcd to be
even more ►ttractive, possibly from its novelty. The place
where the animals are penned is spacious, but evidently
nut nearly sufficiently so for the accommodation of the

crowds who flocked to it, which is no matter for surprise,
looking at the interesting character of the exhiistiou, in-
eluding, as it does, so huge a proportion of the varieties of
the canine species.
The show of cattle was pronounced by all competent
judges to be one of the finest ever witnessed, and the deci-
Mons of the judges have given general satisfaction. The
drawing of the design for the President's Cup for the best
animal shown, being bred by the exhibitor, has been made
by Mr. Harrison Weir, for Messrs. 3fapplebcck and. Lowe,
of Birmingham, to whom the order for it has been
entrusted.

The Shropshire sheep were the subjectof geneml commen-
dation ; scarcely lees so was the show of Berkbhire pigs—
one or two of which from a prize pen, the proper ty of Mr.
Owta, of the Qttball'S Hotel, Birmingham, were purchased
for almost a fabulous price.
The collections of seeds and roots formed this yaw one of
the most interesting features of the exhibition.

Last evening, at Surrey Chapel, the Rev. Newman
Hall, in a lecture to upwards of 2,000 working men and
others " On Passing Events," said that the recent election
moonier of the democrats in America revealed a formidable
opposition to the emancipation or republican party. The de-
mocrat. were for carrying on the war as much as the others,
only they would preserve the " domestic institution "of the
South. Those who sympathised with the democratic party.
sympathised with tome who fought for Rho Union and
slavery, as opposed to those who fought for the 1. Mon and
freedom. The whole of the North were resolved on war,
but the Southerners wero the (authors of that war.
They began it, and while claiming the right of man.
tannin slavery sod extending it wherever they plumed,
war seemed as inevitable es with a Land of determined
brigands.falf they were our own near nethboura, and de.
mended as the price of peace the right to bring their slaves
over the border, and retain them as slaves, we must be
always at was until they withdrew that claim ; but they,
not we, should be responsible for the evils such a war would
entail. The iocunsuiteucies of those who urged us to sympa-
thise with the South were coustant and glaring. Let
Englishmen wash their hands of all participation in
slavery, and let all friends of freedom throughout the
country, whatever their differences of opinion in regard
to the war, resolve Dever to purchase another iard al
cotton branded with the mark " stolen goods." 'stained
with blood, and crying to God against thorn who keep back
" the hire of the labourer."

A fund has been raised in Tonics's, the native
town of the late enterprising Australian explorer, lit. Wills
(who it will be remembered lost his life during the uefortn-
nate expedition of the lamented Burke), with which it is
proposed to commemorate his memory in a suitable and last.
ing manner. Some difference of opinion appears to exist as
to the form of the memorial, the committee appointed at the
preliminary meeting being unable to come to a d,cision am
the 'abject. Mr. W. Oldrey has suggested (sod called •
meeting of the subscribers to take hie proposal into conside-
ration), that a reservoir should be constructed, to be called
the "Wills Reservoir," which would not only form a lashes
memorial of their distinguished townsman, kat be of winch
service to the place by providing as ample supply of water
for general purposes, and for better security against fire ;
Mr. Oldrey also contemplates the erection of a fountain 011
