SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.

Yesterday was tho fleet public day at the cattle
show, end the crowded state of the bazaar throughout the
day evinced the ill!OreSt which the public take in the rise
and prlrress of the beef and mutton with which they are t
be regaled in the approaching festive season. The Duke of
Richmond, the Rad of Leic ster, and other notabditie, con-
nected with agriculture, visited the exhibition during
the day, and expressed their satisfaction in very warm
t• rms. A rather remarkable circumstance connected with
the present 'how is, that more than one-half of the horned
rattle are idready sold, and, why. is still more curious, the
best lots have been secured by country butchers. Three or
four of the swell mob made their appearance in the °suns of
the day, but were soon detected and removed.
