~ Yesterday. Morning,. Mr. Sadler's., Yard, in Gos-
,Well-street,- was opened fOr publicly exhibiting the
'cattle, sheep, and pigs. sent in by the candidates for
the handsome prizes, offered by this patriotic body,
for such animals as' shall. appear, by the certificates
sent in with them, to have improved the most in flesh,

mulled by each respeCtively.
Mr. William Walker, of WoolsthOrpe, Lincoln-
shire;' Mn William Watkins, of Brinsop, Here-
, fordshire ; and Mr. John Roper, of Potters-ferry,
' Bucks, three eminent graziers,were appointed Judges
lot examining -the certificates and the animals shewn,
and awarded the prizes ; a task so arduous, owing to
the number, and nearly balanced excellencies of the
animals in several of the classes, , that occupied
these Gentlemen the whole of Thursday, and all the
-
forenoon of yesterday, before they were able to com-
plete their award, and that labels announcing their
decisions could be stuck up at the head of the several
animals, which were as follow, viz. •
A premium of 20 guineas in Class I. for the Herefordshire
breen of oxen, to Mr. Samuel Chandler, of Morton, Bucks,
for his six years old pied ox, bred by Mr. William Walker,
of Burton', Worcestershire; and an additional premium of ten

by Lord Melbourne, of Brocket Hall, Herts.

In Class 11. 'ior the long-horned breed of oxen,
and in Class VI. for mixed breed of oxen, we are
sorry to observe that no candidates appeared; and
that the one who offered for the premium hi
.Class
11.1. failed in ;:roving the requisite quantity of labour
to have been done by his ox, in the last two years.
The Judges, by a special note annexed to their
award, called .the attention of the Club and the
Company to the excellent qualities of Mr. Thomas
Brooks's three-year old Scotch ox, in Class ;as
also to the high perfection of Earl Maccfestielo's,
Mr. John Ednu.thd's, and Mr. Wrri. Bonk bee's pens
of two-shear new Leicester wether snLep, in Class
XI.; .also to the pen of one-year old new Leices-
tets, belonging to Mr. Thos. Oldacres; in Class.X.
The Judges regretted that two very large and tine
Hereford oxen, belonging- to Mr. John \Vestcar,
were sent in without any certificates to entitle them
to competition for the Prizes in Class I.

Tke great -number of -animals shewn this year
precludes our going particularly into the other ani-
mals exhibited; sonic ploughs and oilier implements
Were exhibited, and several notices interesting to
agrieulturists, merchants, N-c. were given, among
others cat. ir. John Hawkins's Mechanical Museum.
A great colcoilise of Noblemen and Gentlemen
,attended, end seemed 'high.), delighted with the
animals exhibited at this very commodious and con-
venient place, the whole area of which is covered
with hpacious sky-lights.
The exhibition will not close until Monday
evening.

At three o'clock, such Gentlemen as are Memberi
of the Club adjourned •to Frevmasons' Tavern,
where a meeting was held, Lord Somerville in the
chair, at whit!) twenty-three Members of the Club
were present ; when the following six Gentlemen
were elected Members of 'the Club, viz.
Mr. John Lomas, of Kensington; Mr. John
Chapman, of Drayton; Mr. Thomas Moore, of
Taidibeg ; Mr. John Tomlin, of Knightthorpe ;
Mr. Thomas Cobb, of Banbury; and Mr. John Ko-
per, of Potter's Bury.
Sir. Jo;epli Banks attended, and read to the com-•
pany a Methorial, intended to be presented to the
Board of Trade, soliciting the support of Govern-
.
in removing the .dreadrul damage and. mis-
ChiefS which arise to indi'vtduals, and to the public,
from the confined and crowded state of Smithfield
Market, and its total' inadequacy, intersected as it
is by various great thoroughfares for carriages, to ac-
commodate the increasing number of cattle, sheep,
and pigs soldtfiere, amounting to the enormous sum,
as is stated, of fiie millions sterling annually. The
necessity of this Mode of proceeding is stated to arise
from the City of-London having, spent seven years in
ineffettual atteiuuts and schemes for enlarging this
impartant market, whose 'extent remains the.satue
now as it was in the reign of William the
Cori-
queror.

At the conclusicin of reading t liis MeMorial, it was

; ItErRESEkTATION TUE 46ST NOIILE CITY
vp..ita CELTZ, TC IS EXCELLENCY tHE VICE.ROY.,

" MOST EXCELLENT SEI:1.&IORy
" This Corporation, and all the inhabitants of
this city, have, 'ever since the arrival of the, rimtura,
,been plunged into the most inexpressible 4,oliclion.
" They have,seen in the Gazette, .No: 59, of this
capital, published yesterday, copies. of:. the three
Madrid Gazettes,
,of the. 13th, 17th, and nth of
May,, inserted by order of your Excellency, tbr the
information of the whole of, this kingdom.; and
t. their consternation has reached-the 'highest pitch.
" From the intbrinalities to be remarked in the
Protest, and its. ratification, attributed to his Ma-
jesty D. Carlos IV. and in the letter of the Emperor
of the French, said to have been addressed to Seig-
nior D. Ferdinand Vll.—from the alarming contents
of all these instruments, and from .the ssrie of the
succeeding events, there tan be no doubtAliat
.the
renunciations of our unfortunase PrinceS, which
,even if voluntary, would have been invalid, have
been extorted by extreme violence, and di&ated 'by
the imperious and irresistible force of necessity.
" Our Mother Country occupied by 160,000
men, (who, received as allies, and treated as friends,
in -return for this generous hospitality, have seized
the fortresses, whence they held out the alternative
of slavery or death) actuallystirprized, unprovided,
and defenceless, cannot, at least a: this moment,
generally.manitest her resolution, punish the. out-
rages she has suffered, and combat the'oppression
under which she labours.

Weconceive that New Spain, happy, loyal,
brave, opulent, and the envy of the world, under
the indispensable obligation of preserving tbr it na-
tural sovereigns or their lawful successors, under
our existing religion. laws, and Customs, this pre-
cious niheritance of their august ancestors.
" Vera' Cruz, the tirst;settlernent on this Conti-
nent which swore allegiance to them—loyal, ,obe-
dient, and singularly attached to its Monarchs—is
duly impressed with the unalterable fidelity of- your
Excellency, and all the tribunals of the kingdom ;
and its inhabitants are ready to sacrifice their lives
and property in support of the most dignified and
important undertaking which has ever been -pre-
sented to the characteristically faithful hearts of
Spaniards.

" We 'have accordingly this day, in our own
name, and in that of all the inhabitants, assured
the Military Governor, Don Pedro Alonso, that he
may confidently rely on our exertions as tar as they
may be thought' necessary for the said purpose and,
meanwhile, we cherish the hope that the hand of.
the Almighty, the Special Protector of Catholic
Kings, blessing the ett;ffts of our patriotiSm, will.
deliverthe most innocent Ferdinand from the bonds
of captivity, by one of those means which limited
human conception 'ought to adore, but is incapable
of comprehending, and that he will be 'restored to
his august throne, or that he will establish it in this
important asylum of his misfortunes.
" We feel the highest satisfaction in thinking that
your Excellency, animated with similar sentiments
and wishes, will make all the exertions, that are
suited to your exalted functions and obligations, and
by so doing, immortalize your name in the temple
of fidelity.

" This line of condua is, in our opinion, not only
prescribed by the inmost sentiments of our ardent
loyalty, but also by the interest of our captive. coun-
try,ssince, should she deliver herself from the yoke
that oppresses her, she would be stripped of this
valuable Colony, were it in the mean time surren-
dered to the Government- of the Usurper; and such
surrender might, perhaps, render abortive all 'the
efforts for her deliverance. •

" Policy, patriotism, character, indignation, alike
summon us triresistance and an heroic defence; and
posterity, impelled by heart-felt gratitude, will con-
secrate the most splendid monuments to the me-
mory of your Excellency, and all the happy and
loyal inhabitants of New Spain,. whose sentiments,
we flatter ourselves, with the most just Confidence,
are all equally unanimous, as your Excellency Mil .be
able to convince yourself, if you will be pleased
.to
assemble and consult their Representatives.
Those of this most faithful city Ratter them-
selves that your Excellency will receive, with ap-,
probation, this small proof of their drdent zeal, and
that you will be pleased to communicate to them
such instructions and commands as shall secure the
attainment of their objet, and admit them uklie
greatest possible share of the glory of attracting the
admiration of the Universe .to the extent of the
loyalty of the successors of the immortal Cortes, and
the attachment of the Americans to their Sovereigns,
the more ardent in consequence of their being en-
compassed by misfortunes, and separated from their
subjetts,and dominions.

" May God preserve your Excellency many

years.

DARING ROBBERY.--On Wednesdq evening Mr.
Clewlow, of Norfolk-street, Secretary tO Admiral
Sir Samuel Hood, left London in a post-chaise for
Portsmouth, when two large hunks ‘c ere faStencd &11.
the perCh of the chaise Tile post-b,y, previous tO
Mr. C.'s departure, informed, him that the 'loads
were touch better by way of Putney to Kingston,
than the Wandsworth-yoad, and conseque4 the'
driver was ordered to proceed that way. After hair.;
ing got a sb*t distance from Hyde. Park Corner
Gate, Mr. Clewlow thought he heard a noise, and
on looking on the perch, lie.missed his trunks; hd
immediately-alighted and went.,back. towards Hy:4
Park Corner. He discovered one Of the trunks; cones
taming` private papers, &c. in the middle ofthe turn..
pike-road, but the other, containing considerable'
valuables, wo not found. It is conjedured, from.
certain circumstances, that the robbery was preme-.
ditated, and the Officers belonging to Marlborough-i•
street Police Office, are endeavouring to trace tb
• I •
thieves.

- Another robbery was committed on the property
of Sir' Samuel Hod; at about the same
.time as the
former. The Admirals servant had been sent to
fetch a small package from Phillimote-place, Bromp-
ton, to his town-house, in Wimpole-street. The
servant, on coming back, was met by a genteel
dressed man, who informed him he had been long
on his errand, that his Mistress was waiting the ar.;•
rival of the package, and that he was to return to
Phillimore-Place, to fetch another package. . The
robber by this artifice got possession of the property,;.
and the credulous servant returned to Phillircore-
place as he was ordered. Thk 'package also con,
tained valnables to a considerable amount. ;
Wednesday evening last, between seven and esgltt
k, o'cloc as I\lr. Knapp, an industriouS Currier, of
Tunbridge, Wilts, was tzaVelling towarols Bristol;
on the road near 'Keynsham, a man suddenly seized
Jiro reins of his horse, and dematicletl his Money. Mr.
Knapp endeavoured to extricate himself by clapping
spurs to the horSe ; but the robber held the bridle h
thk the animal , was unable to proceed.—
During this struggle an accomplice, who leaped.over
a gate, came to the assistance of the other robber,
and struck Mr. K. a dreadful blow in the groin, with.
a large bludgeon. They then rifled his pockets, and
took from him 821. and some silver; and, after per,.
mitting his horse to go astray, they left him
dead on the side of the road, where he remained
some time, unable to Move, till a gentleman, attracted
to the place by his groans, humanely conveyed hirn to
Bristol, where he now lieS dangerously ill. Thci
horse on which he rode *as found the same even,
ing by a waggoner; but the rObbers,• we lament to
say,. have hitherto eltided deteelion.
