This show of fat stock, forming as it does one of the
earliest and more striking indications of the approach of
Christmas, takes place in its old locality in Baker-street
during the present week. There is no reason to doubt
that it will prove as attractive as on any former occa-
sion, and that for the next few days thousands will
hasten to feast their eyes upon the prospective supplies
of a season consecrated to good cheer. It would form a
subject of curious speculation to inquire what are the
secret springs of that intense desire which seizes upon
Londoners to inspect, poke, and handle the animals
which are destined to furnish forth their Christmas
dinners. Vegetarians and Brahmins may recoil
appalled and disgusted at the calculating cruelty o'
that cold-hearted survey, but unquestionably it i
one which chimes in amazingly with the popular
humour and tastes. Being great consumers of
animal food, a fine large joint of meat is in the eyes of the multitude as genuine and worthy an ob-
St.
ject of admiration as anything else, and at this seasonso
S.
their enthusiasm camas them - a stage beyond the
butcher's shop to stare at the portly and sleek results of St.
careful feeding and shelter. Undoubtedly, a fine show 12
of fat stock, unless the fattening is carried to excess, is 50
as pleasant and comfortable a sight as can well be de- 16!
sired; and it is satisfactory to be able to state that the St.
display this year at Baker-street is larger, better in 20
12
quality, superior in arrangement, and in every class more
worthy of our agriculturists than on any previous occa 50
-
sion. The Smithfield Club is fortunatein the favour with 20
which its annual show is everywhere regarded by prat- 10
tical farmers. Numbers of them who view with linger- St.
ing suspicion the action of the Royal Agricultural Society St.
take a pride in fattening up a beast or two to send to ,20
London at Christmas, and carrying off a prize in the 10
arena of Baker-street, is considered a great event St.
in their lives. The impending doom of Smith- 50
field has abated none of the confidence felt in the club, g
and this year the entries are greater than ever. In sheep 25
especially the increase is marked, but nearly all the t. classes are well filled, and the new and extended prize SBf3
list has been well responded to. Formerly the animals St.
exhibited were not arranged according to breed, and for St.
reasons, which appeared sufficient, as it was considered 50
that au exhibition of fat stock ought to be judged of 25
solely with an eye to the meat market and without refer- 100
ence to the purity of the blood. It was found, however, g
that the want of classification interfered with the justice
of the awards, and prevented the public from duly 20
appreciating the merits of the whole display. A alas-
sification has, therefore, been adopted which admits of St.
the comparison of animals of the same kind with each 15
other, ;which is wide enough to embrace the advantages 50
derived from judicious crossing, and which also in- St.
dudes a general survey of the whole collection, by 16
giving gold medals for examples of extraordinary excel- 16
lence. By this change the club have imparted to the g
show of the present year a distinctness of character
which enables the most uninformed visitor to appre-
-20 20
ciate its general excellence, and helps the connoisseur 10 to satisfy himself thoroughly as to the fairness and im- St,
partiality with which the judges have discharged their
duties. The classes, as will be seen by a reference to
the prize list, besides extra stock, are 31 in number, and
the total number of entries is 333—being, we under-
stand, an increase of 20 above last December. There
is a small display of Devon steers not exceeding three
years old, and of heifers not exceeding four years old ;
of Hereford heifers not exceeding four years old ; and
of Scotch, Welsh, or Irish heifers or cows of any age ;
but in all the other divisions the competition is well
kept up, and the show is remarkable for its sustained
excellence throughout. An interesting feature of
these annual displays is the stand-up fight which the
farmers and graziers make against the great amateur
agriculturists, who, with unbounded resources at corn-
m.a.nd, enter into rivalry with them. Prince Albert, the
Duke of Richmond, the Earl of Leicester, the Earl of
Aylesford, Lord Feversham, the Marquis of Exeter,
Lord Hatherton, the Earl of Radnor, the Earl of Darn-
ley, Earl Spencer, and the Earl of Hardwicke, are
among the aspirants for prizes and medals at this year's
show, and one might have imagined that with such op-
ponents in the field, practical men who pursue cattle-
breeding as an occupation, would have very small chance
of success. Yet strange to say, the latter have decidedly
the best of it, and year after year their superiority is be- g
coming more decided. The merits of the show may now 2
be considered quite independent of aristocratic contribu- 2,
tions, and it becomes a question whether their zeal in be- Si
half of agricultural improvement might not henceforth be
more usefully directed to endeavour by experiments,
which are, of course, beyond the means of ordinary men,
to elucidate more fully than has yet been done those na- ;3 turaljaws upon which the qualities of stock depend. As St.
an example of what may be necomplished in this way,
we may refer to a remarkable account given in the. "Jury 20
Reports" of the Great Exhibition of a new breed of sheep St.
developed in France which possesses a peculiar and 15
highly valuable fleece for manufacturing purposes.
A hasty run through the showyard last night enables
us to do little more than speak in general terms of the 64
excellence of the animals exhibited. The grievous cruelty
and waste of over-fattening is less to be complained of
than on former occasions, especially among the cattle, 5
and we sincerely hope that free trade, among other ad- 7i
vantages, will at length teach our farmers that there are 6I
limits to oilcake feeding, and that they manufacture for
the butcher not the tallow-chandler. While on 61
the subject of feeding, a point strikes us of some 10'
importance in connection with these winter exhi- 20
bitions. The conditions imposed by the club upon
competitors require them to specify the kind of food 10
given, but not the quantity. Now, in going through the St
country, nothing is more common than to find agricul-
5
turists pampering animals which they intend to send to 5
Baker-street at an unheard-of outlay—one far beyond St.
the limits of possible recompence in the market, and
which, besides outraging every rule of economical ma- St.'
nagement, is the secret cause of the rage for over-fat- St.
tening against which Earl Ducie and all our greatest au-
thorities
on farming have long and vigorously protested. 64
We have known instances of bullocks maintained at a
weekly outlay equal to the support of a labourer and his 50
family. This is, upon the face of it, a monstrous extra- St.
vagance, and the Smithfield Club might surely do some-
' thing in their regulations, if not to suppress, at least to 16
discourage it. Might they not, for example, make the
cost of feeding an element for the consideration of the St.
judges, or at least take some step by which economy of 20
management would have its due reward ?
One remarkable feature of the present show is the ab- 20
sence of any animals exhibited as mere curiosities with- M out reference to the useful objects of the general display. st:
On most former occasions Brahmin or Italian bulls or three-horned sheep, or other contributions of the kind, St.
have been displayed, but now there is nothing new or 50
strange to gape at, unless, indeed, it be the hideous re-
presentation of her Majesty in zinc, with which the &-
Vieille Montaigne Company disfigured the nave of the St.
Crystal Palace, and which, by a singular fate, has found
sanctuary among the fat oxen, pigs, and sheep in Baker- 50
street. Oilcake and bean meal have had a sadly dege-
nerating effect upon the restless sharp-horned Devons
and the fiery West Highlanders, or, beyond all question, 12)
there would be a case of treason on the premises of Mr.
Bulnois. He has effected great improvements in the 25
arrangement of the space devoted to the show, and by
his liberality, and the exertions of Mr. Brandreth Gibbs, 10
the Honorary Secretary to the Club, some prospect is 6
afforded of enabling the public at length to see the stock 12!
with ordinary comfort. 12,

There is• an unhappy craving after notoriety
that leads persons so afflicted into all manner
of absurdities. Ridicule, contempt, anything
rather than pass in the undistinguished crowd
without notice or observation. Digito monstrari
eundo, to be pointed at or talked of is the great
desideratum. It matters little whether they are
spoken of in terms of commendation or censure,
whether they obtain approbation or the reverse.
The former would of course be 'preferred, but it is
not quite so easy of attainment. The path to the
Temple of true Fame is too tedious and difficult
—the way too long and arduous to suit such tem-
peraments. The goal must be achieved by a sud-
den exertion, and as the spring upwards is im-
practicable, the plunge downwards is generally
resorted to.
Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY appears of this mind.
From the time that he called the public attention
to the family. quarrels in which he was unhappily
involved, when, unable to administer his favourite
remedy—" a punch in the head" to " his big
brother," he did his utmost to bring the ancient
name they bore into disrepute. There has been
an incessant straining after effect--a feverish
anxiety to rush into print, on any and every occa-
sion. DOGBERRY himself was not more solicitous
to be written down an ass, than the ex-Member for
West Gloucestershire. It was so at the time of the
Great Exhibition. It is so still. Indeed, the ne-
cessity is more pressing at this moment, as the
Honourable Gentleman no longer possesses a seat
in Parliament, by means whereof his antics might
be prominently shown off to the community.
Mr. BEER ETXY has now adopted the expedi-
ent of lauding " Protection," of hugging the
defunct monster, as a mode of attract-
ing the coveted notice. He exhibits the
zeal of a convert in his proceedings, arraying
himself side by side with the SIBTHORPS, CHOW-
LERS, FOSKETTS, arc. The device was inge-
nious—the result certain.• The mental calibre of
the man who ratted to Protection must necessarily
be of an extraordinary description. We might
not feel any great astonishment at those who,
true to their ancient predilections, continue blind
to the changes that have taken place and are daily
occurring, but we cannot help wondering at the
man, once a professing Free-trader, who would
advocate• the reimposition of a bread-tax, and who
actually glories in his infatuation.
But even Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY has not the
hardihood to deny the general prosperity at present
enjoyed' •I - the industrious classes—or that it is
partly ascribable to .the Act of 1846. Ile merely
declares that "it is incorrect to assert that it
arises solely from recent legislation, or the abroga-
tion of the Corn Laws." This is a virtual admis-
sion of the existence of that prosperity, and also
that the welfare and happiness of the working
man is in some degree promoted by the legislative
recognitiOn of Free Trade. Oh ! but for some-
thing else they would. not be so well off. Every
man able and willing to work, would not be cer.

The result is that thirty five private Banks have

The Dutch Government expects successfully to
carry out its plan for converting the 4 into 3/ per
Cent. Stock. The capital to be dealt with is
252,158,000 florins, and the saving off per Cent.
would amount to 630,395 florins per annum, or
supposing an allowance of 1 per cent. to be paid in
money to those converting, and the expenses inci-
dental thereto included, the net saving would
be only 504,000 florins. The new bonds issued
at 98 to 99 would soon roach par, it is thought,
because the highest rate of interest paid
on any portion of the Dutch debt, will hereafter
be 32. The bonus of 1 per cent. in cash, moreover,
will be a temptation, as it represents four years of
the / per cent. dividend to be taken off: at Ham-
burgh, last Friday, the exchange on London was
lower.

97 to 98 ; Dutch 2 per Cents. brine
Railway Shares have been flatter this morning,
and there has been rather a fuller supply of them
on the market. This is not the result, however,
of sales by real holders, but simply of speculative
dealings, and founded on the temporary dullness in
other departments of the Stock Exchange. Dur-
ing the Christmas holidays, a large traffic may be
expected, and this should give confidence. The
re-action in prices is about to 1 per cent, in the
case of some of the old lines, including Great
Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire and North
Western. Norfolk have risen 2/. to 31. French
Shares are all lower, to the extent of 4 to 5 per
cent. The business doing is very small, and when
speculators realise, there is a difficulty in prevent.
ing a decided reaction.
The Gold Mine Shares have been in request at
very full prices, and the Australian tend upwards.
A remarkable advance has occurred in the Aus-
tralian Bank Shares. Australasia have risen Si. to

Banks also are higher.

THE DUKE'S FUNERAL.—A Supplement to the London

report of the "proceeding" at the lying in state and inter-

THE ORDNANCE ESTlMATE.—Yesterday the supple-
mentary estimate of the ordnance department was issued,
amounting to 92,6581., of which 70,825/. is for raising 2,000
non-commissioned officers and men for the Royal Artillery,
and for the purchase of 1,000 horses as to pay, &c., of the
ordnance military corps ; 5,1331. for the commissariat and
barrack supplies • 2,700/. as wages ; and 14,0001. as ord-
nance stores ; making the total 92,658/.
CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS.—Yesterday the examiner
of the recognizances decided that in the case of the peti-
tion against the return for Carlisle, affecting the seat of
Sir J. Graham and Mr. Ferguson (Liberals) ; and in that
of the return for Hastings, affecting the seats of Mr. P. F.
Robertson and Mr. M. Brisco (Conservatives), the recog.
nizances of the petitioners were informal and invalid, and,
of course, the petitions fell to the ground.
THE DERBY ELECTlON.—Yesterday, this committee,
consisting of Mr. Goulburn (chairman), Sir W. Moles-
worth, Lord Barrington, Lord H. Vane, and Mr. Deedes,
re-assembled in committee room, No. 8, to consider the
matter of the petition 'of inhabitant householders of the
borough of Derby, alleging the existence of systematic
bribery and corruption at the late olection, and that the
Secretary-at-War, :the Right Hon. Wm. Jeresford, was a
beingparty

nrcfrd, by counter
allegations petition
l:
allegations to the effect that the charge in question was the
result of conspiracy, falsehood, and subornation of per-,
jury. The evidence of Mr. Fleuker, who had managed the
Conservative side in 1847, and who was then introduced to
Major Beresford, was taken. He said that he first became
acquainted with Frail in 1848, through the Major, and,
subsequently, he saw Frail in company with the Major on
several occasions at the Carlton, the National, and 77,
Pall-Mall. At the close of this witness's evidence, the pro
ceedings were adjourned.
ROBBERY BY A BANKER'S CLERK.— Yesterday,
Thomas Sandys, a clerk in the banking-house of Glyn
and Co., was brought before the Lord Mayor upon a
charge of having stolen a 501. note and two 301. notes,
the property of his employers. Mr. Mullens, of the firm
of Bush and Millions, solicitors to the Committee of
Bankers for protection from felony and fraud, attended
for the prosecution. The prisoner was remanded.
IMPORTS FROM IRELAND.—Yesterday a return was
issued, showing that in 1849, grain of Irish growth to
the amount of 844,501 quarters were imported into Great
Britain ; 751,146 quarters in 1850 ; and 850,068 quarters in
1851; whilst of meal and flour 1,176,920 quarters were im-
ported in 1849 ; 1,055,241 quarters in "1850; and 823,129,
quarters in 1851. In 1849, of live stock the number from
Ireland into Great Britain was 520,756; in 1850, 475,192 ;
and in 1851 the number was 474,203. .
BURSTING OF A RESERVOIR.—A serious flood occurred
o i Sunday near Bury, in Lancashire, by the bursting of
a reservoir, by which, though happily. 'no lives were lost,
an immense amount of property has been destroyed,

tain of obtaining remunerative employment--of
receiving .a
fair day's wages in exchange for a fair
day's work. " Had .we as many labourers in the
United Kingdom now as there were in 1846,"
he exclaims, " the rate of wages at present paid,
must and would have been infinitely lower, or
half the hands been without occupation."
Here is a perversion of a distinct fact, on which
he founds his subsequent argument. We join
issue on the premises. We deny that the labourers
in the agricultural districts of England are less
numerous at this moment than in 1846. There
are, fortunately, fewer unemployed. The work-
houses are no longer crowded by able-bodied
paupers, but there are as many free families in
villages' and hamlets, and scattered cottages, earn-
ing their daily bread by their daily labour, as in
1846, or in the most palmy days of Protection,
and they are in the enjoyment of comforts previ,
ously unknown. They are no longer unprofitably
consuming the resources of the country, but are,
as they.ought to be, the creators and producers of
national -wealth.

It is. title that thdre has been An extensive
emigration—that landed proprietors have availed
themselves of the funds provided by the colonies,

to get rid of the idle and worthless, the permanent

inmates of the workhouses, sending persons very
different from the class bargained for by those

and
who supplied the means. Many industrious
well-disposed persons were also. attracted by the
promise of the unstinted abundance, the ample
provision which they would readily obtain in
Australia ; but the numbers who left their native
shores were not more than equivalent to the an-
nual increase, others spring up to supply their
places, and there are at this moment in England
as many labourers as there were in 1846. This
'
fact .1113 T easUy be ascertained by looking to the
emigration returns, and comparing the 'numbers of
English labourers who have sought their fortunes
in other -climes, with the average addition to the
population, which experience teaches us must

yellow fever has
THE YELLOW FEVER.—A fatal and malignant case of
just occurred at Southampton, to a man
who had been the second engineer of the La Plata steamer.
He came home in excellent health, but was attacked by the
fever directly after he landed, and ho never rallied. It is
said another of the crew has also been overtaken by this
terrible malady, and he now lies in a very precarious state.
THE NEW IMPERIAL CROWN OF NAPOLEON 111. is
said to be not only
a master-work of the jeweller's art, but
one which will surpass every royal ornament in its richness
in pearls, and precious stones. The jeweller, Lemonnier,
114 s been sent to Russia to purchase various costly stones,
and the Princess Matilda, who has a collection of rare
black pearls, has placed them all at the disposal of the
artist entrusted with the ornamentation of the crown,.
which is to be completed by the end of the year.
THE ROYAL NAM—Yesterday the supplemental esti-
mates of the Royal Navy for the year 1852-53 were printed.
The whole charge amounts to 113,1001., and 100,0001. for
the expenses of steam machine ry for naval purposes during
the year ending the 3d April, 1853.
