cent, he may be relented from confinement.
The interference of Mr. Bancroft in his behalf bee been
made known in our journals • and I am thus led to speak ol
this gentleman. His reputation is a very high one with his
own cougar" men, and we am gratified to learn that be has made
a favourable impression abroad. The only drawback to hie

country our pubic men of late years have been compelled to
yield so moth of their personal dignity to the clamorous de.
mends of party. It is to be hoped that distinctions will sot
now necessarily belong to those who make such sacrifices to
obtain them, but that men of Mr. Bancroft's stamp will be
honoured for their worth and fir their talents. It is the opinion
here that our foreign ministers will only be changed in
those instances where the confidential nature of the trust,
'risme from particular causes, will require a change for the
actual benefit of the government. As, for example' if (Jen.
Taylor's policy should requires certain line of neroliatiut

remain some time abroad.

SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.
The annual show of this national society comme

this day, in Baker street. The judges were engaged the
whole of yesterday in examining the stock submitted to their
decision, and in awarding the prizes, a lid of which is ap-
pended. la the evening • private view was afforded to the
patisse of this edam of enterprise, which was productive of
greet gratification to those favoured with the • .portunity of
warm- "g uncrowded the minus specimens of living adipose
matter with which the spacioue arena teemed, in the shape
of catt'e, sheep, and pos. The number of animals has of
late yeau decreased, Lilt the quaity of the snow fully oom-
peassoes (or this questionable advantage.
The gr. sat feature of the past year's cattle feeding is, strange
to say, a cow, nine yeah of age, and the dam of three sums-
dee calves ; but notwitlotandiag age, and wear and tear,
she ism animal of surpassing symmetry, wl.ich has been
developed to its utmost extant be the skilful manner in
whir she has been fed. The number of this beast is 102.
She is of the short horned Durbin' breed. Her feeder and
brinier is Mr. .1. Haan, who concentrates in his double
=peaty the gold medal, the sliver medal, and the prise of
301, all of which he amply deserves for the admirable skill
with which he has developed the qualities of the famous
Teesdale breed of Kin.. The next most remarkable
animal is a steer of the Hereford breed, fattened by
U.K H. Prince Albert, who in that capacity obtains the
prise of 201, and a silver medal to the breeder, Mr. P.
Devise—all richly deserved and worthily bestowed. This
beast is well worthy of remark, from the elegance of his
preportinny and the symmetrical arrangement of the fat over
the varous parts of his body, each little dumpling of tat on
his dexter side having a corresponding one on the sinister
literal. A collection of four West Highland slots—as James
Hogg would have called them—also merits a poring remark.
The worthy Highlander, J. Rob, who brouebt them up to
town to compete with dukes, and primes, and esquires, was
carefully tending his beasts in IN non, and be was luckily
able to point with exultation and delight to the
significant placard above one of his beasts (a fine
dun Kyloe, of the same breed as that vanquished by Guy,
Ear: of Watwi.k) which announced that a price of 101. had
been awarded to him. There are numerous other very Sae
specimens of " animated oil-cake and =mastoid wurtscll' (as
these living proouctions of the taw materials have been cyni-
cally styled) to be seen, hat which must be left unspecified.
The show of sheep and of pigs was probably better than has
of late years been exhibited. The gold fur sheep was
awarded to a pen (No. 157) of three sheep, bred and fed by
Mr. Webb, who also remind the pprrice 0(201 as feeder. The
pigs were charming—their easy Ustlemeas, whilst dreaming of
milk and barleymnal, and the petulant grunt with which they
minted any attempt to disturb their Mambas, almost
vested a wish to become one of the trlysiesn crow ; the
happy state of innocence ia which, amnesia= of
shame, they reeliesd the tint line of that celebrated
slid Ugh& meg, "The pigs they lye," tic., was in
Wilt may engeolug, more particularly when their infantile
eimelNien is held In remembrance, their ages in few instances
ezemailies 26 weeks—perfect babies. One small family of
three, use of whoa could see out of their eyes, were said to
be only 22 weeks old ; their sweet whelesome looking
skim, their rolls of fat, their gentle grunt,
their porkosity, in fact, begat a sort of tender
feeling which would have developed itself in a desire to have
a black pudding or a trotter from me or the other of them,
had such ideas feathers banished by the clatter of knives and
forts In as adjoining ream where, strange to say, a painter
