Theaktliylhiornhti Mr. Sadleri Repositdry-yard
in Geier*ll-street, was opened for :hewing the prize:
mitle.and other stock, exhibited in consequence of
the premiums offered by the gmithfirld Club, of
olien, Gentlemen, and Parriters, associated for
the laudable purpose, not of promoting the feeding
of eilairoito fat aniAall, but of eacotnaging the In-
noditiffion to the great London rearket, of animals
which have been well and sufficiently fatted. with the
greatest possible attention to the early maturity, and
quick and cheap feeding : these being the only ra-
tional sources from which a decline in the prices of
butcher's meat, or even their remaining at their pre-
sent prices, can be hoped for, under the circum-
stances of an increasing consumption of animal food.
—Mr. Sadler's premises were found abundantly
commodious for the purpose, and wholly covered in,
although affording sufficient light for the examina-
tion of the cattle, at the heads of which, labels are
affixed, announcing the prizes, and other useful
matters of information; these particulars, relating
to Mr. Pickford's cattle and sheep, were, we observe,
more full and explicit than the others, owing to
the laudable attention of that spirited improver, for
g:ving to the public every requisite information re-
'peeling the breeds, ages, feeding, efte. of his ani-
mals. The cattle (inhibited were, in

This animal was thought by some to be, ;bathe" the very hest
Ox ever exhibited to the Club ; but owing to its not having
been worked the required time, it could not, according to the

if Cats* who attended ar tha Sbaw yesterday, were
very numerous, and they seemed amply gratified.
A basket of remarkably fine and large Swedish
turnips was exhibited by Mr. Pickford, growl on
land, within a few years past in a mate of waste,
near Met krt-street, Herts. Another basket of
these useful roots, nearly equal in perfeaion, was
exhibited from Lord Mansfield's farm, at Caen
Wood. These turnips were greatly admired by the
ALriculturists present. Among the notices interest-
ing to Farmers, which were stuck up at the place
of show, we observed a very judicious alteration an-
aeunced by Lord Somerville, in the conditions of
the ensuing Spring Show, at this place. on the 2d
and 3d of March, limiting the prizes for fat wether
shorwwootled sheep to such 'as do not weigh above
251 b. quarter of metre's, and allowing the grazier
AS well as breeder of such sheep exhibited, to he
candidates for the prizes. Mr. Fletcher's prepared
peprion was recommended as cheap and portable
top-dressing for crops of corn and grass; and Mr.
Farnham, the gentleman who sells His Majesty's
Spanish sheep, gave notice of some Merino sheep,
belonging to a Gentleman, deceased, which will
shortly be said.
After the company had left the Show-yard yester-
day, a meeting took place at Freemasons' Tavern,
of the Members of the Smithfield Club, when se-
Versa new Members were proposed, and other ban-
ners relative to the premises triinsacted ; after which
.beet thirty f.:enslonsen of the Club dined together.
