Silt CHARLEs MORGAN'S CATTLE SHOW—This
exhibition, which this year we might naturally have antici-
pated would not have been attended as heretofore, conse-
quently on the decease of the lamented and venerable
Baronet of 'jr. timer, was altogether an average one,
and its general character was sustained on an equality
with post years. Some of the fat cattle were mag-
nificent animals, but the inferior and lean stock
were of an indifferent character. The pigs and sheep
were greatly admired, and there was it good display. of
poultry and other agricultural produce. The following is a
