OPENING OF 11IE ROYAL AGRICILL..
TURAL SHOW.-(THIS DAY.)

The annual show of the Royal Agricultural Society of
England opened this morning in Battersea-park, where the
preliminary arrangements have been for some time in pro-
gress, and, so far as the aspects of the ground is concerned,

apparently with complete success.
The exhibition, as is usual, comprises agricultural im-
plements, machines, and other articles for farm purposed

. .
seeds, roots, manures, &e., for the inspection of which 'oy
the public it will continue open until the 2d of July. It is

divided into three distinct compartments—viz., machinery,
machinery in motion, and cattle. The first two only are
thrown open this morning; the opening of the last ia.
fixed for Wednesday. The whole cover an area of about
30 acres, of which some four acres are devoted to the ma-
chinery in motion, the other portion being about equsAlly
iivided between machinery and cattle, the length of " shed-
ding" appropriated to the former being about la mile, and
that appropriated to the latter about 1/ mile.
The grand entrance to the ground is on the south side,
whet 3 visitors pass through a turnstile upon the "tell-tale"
principle.
The sheds run in long ranges behind this open area (on
which it is proposed to have a military band), with an
ample space between for light, ventilation, and the passage
of spectators, and with a wide central opening of aisles seitat-
rating them into two great divisions. With the exception
of one shed, which is devoted to "seeds and roots," they are
filled with farming machines and implements of every con-
ceivable description, every department being carefully clas-
sified, and every class embracing a variety of develop.
ment and detail perfectly bewildering. Nothing is absent
that can by any possibility be connected with agriculture
from the huge steam plough to the pitchfork, from thn
patent .metal pig-stye to the patent sausage-chopper.
E \-ery exhibitor has his name conspicuously displayed at
his stand, and the eye successively rests on the well-known
names of Ransome, Tuxford, Crosskill, Clayton, Shuttle-
worth, Garrett, Fowler, and others, eminent as agricul-
tural machinists and engineers.
The arrangements of the various sheds was only finally
effected on Saturday night—in fact a few articles were ad -
mitted this morning ; and while this renders it im-
possible, in a bast} preliminary notice, to dwell upon the
particular merits of individual exhibitors, it is also impos-
sible to avoid doing justice to the all but absolute air of
completion which prevailed throughout the sheds when they
were thrown open to the public. In point of variety, and
perhaps of novelty, the present show is vastly superior to
any previous one ; and there can be no doubt that from the
ready access to its site, the number of visitors this year will
greatly exceed that of any former year.
The area appropriated to the " Machinery in Motion '
department, unlike that of the " Machinery," presents this
morning a rather rough and somewhat unready appearance.
There was no lack of huge machines upon the ground, and
here and there the eye detected the rapid revolutions of a
fiy wheel, or the ear the buzzing rush of a revolving strap ;
but generally the attendants seemed to be employed in get-
ting up the steam, or turning the last screw, or putting in
the last pin. To-morrow, no doubt, everything will be iu
due order, and the machinery in motion department per-
fect in its way, and more than sufficiently puzzling to the
non-practical Eye.
It has been stated already that the cattle departmenut
not open till Wednesday. Into this departments a owil!
o
feature has been this year introduced, viz., .th ma_
hibition of foreign stock (there is no
tfh°uree'giladded

(paying half-a-crown) was fully as great as had been ex-
pected, and was made up principally of foreigners.

THE MOORS AND FORESTS.—Much anxiety war
felt during the last fortnight in regard to the state of grouse
and other game, owing to the almost continuous rains and
the prevalence of bail showers and cold winds. Since SO:
