TIIE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL

SOCIETY OF ENGLAND.

NORWICH, JULY 19.—The great event of the agricul-
tural meeting at Norwich has taken place to-day, amidst
circumstances more favourable to the society than on
any former occasions it has had the good fortune to ex-
perience. The general show of stock and implements
was thrown open at an early hour this morning, and the
success which has attended the exhibition has been of
the most decided and complete character. The society,
there•ore, and the friends of agricultural improvement
generally, have every reason to be satisfied with the re-
sult, and the good ciiizens of Norwich and the inhabit-
ants of the Eastern counties may fairly congratulate
themselves upon having made a grand and triumphant
demonstration in favour of that earliest and largest de-
partment of human industry which provides for our first
and most immediate wants, and upon which the prospe-
rity of this district of the country principally rests for
support. What struck the observer most forcibly at the
outset this morning was the extraordinary number of car-
riages, flies, gigs, tax-carts, vans, omnibuses, and every
form of locomotive machine that obstructed the streets of
the city. The hotels were barricaded with the more fashion-
able description of equipages, and in front of the small
inns were collected long rows of more bumble country
conveyances, tilted up to economise the space where they
stood, and covered with a fine varnish of dust which be-
trayed their country origin. Never, except perhaps at
Epsom, was such a glut of vehicles of all shapes and sizes
seen, and it was quite a relief when, as the day advanced
and some of them were put in requisition to carry visi-
tors to the show, there appeared some prospect that Nor-
wich would be eased from the tremendous accumulation.
Moving out towards the show-yard, the preparations
made Won.," the road had evidently assumed a more ex-
tensive and complete character. The full complement
of flags had been raised aloft in every direction, and
wherever the eye turned these favourite manifestations
of public rejoicing were seen streaming or fluttering ac-
cording to their different lengths of bunting, in gay va-
ne ie, of colour, and with really a very laudable atten-
tion to :ceeic effect. The face of the country, too, duals
to the refreshing showers of yesterday, looked extremely
well. Trees, hedge rows, and crops, had put ou their
greenest and most luxuriant appearance, and the exten-
sive prospect which the positi el of the show-yard com-
mands seemed with its smiling plenty to join in the agri-
cultural rejoicings. A continuous stream of pedestrians,
equestrians, and passengers in vehicles poured along the
Ip3wich road, which leads to the show. Male and fe-
male, young and old, rich and poor, the landlord in hie
carriage, the rich farmer, good-humoured and well-con-
ditioned, amidst the ruins of Protection; the yeoman in
substantial top-boots or cuinfortable drab gaiters, the brown
visaged, rough-handed, and smock-limited peasantry,
the needy-looking mechanic and artisan of this once
flourishing seat of manufactures—all were moving along
in dense masses to the centre of attraction. The half-
crown charge on a morning admission threw many back
upon the drinking and refreshment booths at the entrance
of the yard, and it was not till 2 o'clock, when the charge
was reduced to Is., that the exhibition received its full
accession of visitors. During the entire day the Eastern
Counties Railway, throughout all its branches, cease-
lessly poured upon the spot the population of the great
district through which it runs ; Yarmouth, ,Ipswich,
Cambridgeshire, and Lincolnshire, furnished their
quota, and for once the inhabitants of the fens, yielding
to the agricultural furor, seemed determined to make a
day of it. Entering within the showy and a new scene
presents itself. The division between the exhibition
of implements and stock is thrown down, and the "unity"
of this great farming spectacle is restored. The well-fed
short horn, the South-down pan Ling from heat and fat,
the pig littered to the eyes in straw, and conveying his
sense of comfort in short expressive grunts, are each per-
mitted to see the array of mechanical ;facilities by which
they are slowly and carefully led through a life of indul-
'once to the butcher's stall. The philosophic spectator
is allowed to see the means and the end of agriculture—
the calculating science and ingenuity of man in provid-
ing for his own support—the well-planned treachery
with which he domesticates, feeds, fleeces, and kills
the lower animals for his daily appetites, and ever
returning wants. There are few exhibitions more de-
servedly popular, or which are calculated to give greater
pleasure than a walk round the pens and stalls of a well-
filled cattle-show. The cleanliness, the comfort, the
well-fed, well-clothed, and well-housed appearance of the
poor animals—and their own evident appreciation of the
material blessings by which they are surrounded—all
these things should satisfy the most rigid Brahmin or
the most exacting member of the Humane Society. All
these things were abundantly evident in the exhibition
to-day, and must have convinced the spectators that,
however the peasantry of the eastern counties fare, the
brute creation at least are well provided for. From one
end of the show to the other, in every compartment,
from the powerful horse and the massive bull, down to
the shearling ewe and the litter of young piglings—the
marks of human care are everywhere visible. A cart-
load of green food is brought into the yard, and instantly
a struggle takes place among the stall-keepers, for the
especial behoof of their different charges. Patiently
do they watch beside them throughout the boiling heat
of a summer's day—listening to the criticisms which
their shape provokes; when they lie down to rest,
guarding their repose; and when they are up
and lively, turning them to every point where their
beauty of form may be seen. In the horse and cattle de-
partment especially there is an inexhaustible fund of
amusement to the onlooker in what goes on at each stall.
The variety of expression, the outline and beauty of mould
in each beast, furnish of themselves a delightful study;
their obvious adaptation to the purposes for which they
are intended, the contrasts presented by different breeds
of the same species, and the endless abundance in which
the skill of man and the bounty of nature multiply the
varieties of animal beauty—all are brought irresistibly
before the mind. Then, the conduct of the crowd of
farmers and agriculturists who throng the exhibition is
not uninteresting. The prize animals are easily distin-
guishable by the knots of eager spectators formed in front
of their stalls. From the horses, of course, they keep a
respectful distance; but the mild looks of the cattle en-
courage them to greater familiarity, and hands are passed
freely along the back and ribs of each fat, good-natured
beast, as it nothing would satisfy them but the touch,
that the huge forms before them were not idle visions
which would collapse or vanish before their eyes in a
moment. The sheep and pigs also came in for their
share of general attention ; but the great attractions of
such an exhibition are necessarily the larger animals, the
size and beauty of which present, of course, the most
striking subjects of admiration.
To leave the general description of the scene within
the show-yard, we proceed to coseider the general cha-
racter of the stock exhibited. The display is upon the
whole equal, if not superior, to that of any former meet-
ing. There never has been an exhibition of the society
in which all the classes of stock have come out so
strongly, although there may have been occasions on
which particular classes have shown greater excellence
and been present in larger numbers. In no department
was the show of a decidedly inferior character, and in
nearly every one the animals were of extraordinary
beauty, size, and purity of breed.
The following return will illustrate the relative posi-
tion of the present and former exhibitions:—

It is due to the society, to the judges, and to the agri-
culturists, of the eastern counties, to state that at this
exhibition the rage for stock, fattened till they were fit
only for the tallow chandlers' melting tubs, has been en-
tirely extinguished. Overfeeding, with all its painful
and disgusting consequences, does not, at least as far as
cattle are concerned, exist in this district. The stock
exhibited is in excellent condition, and nothing more ;
and it would really appear as if there was some prospect
that the encouragement of the society would now be
permanently given to the production of the best breeds.
The eastern counties have in times past been principally
a feeding rather than a breecing district, and therefore
the exemption of this from the great blemish of former
exhibitions is the more cr, ditable to them. To this dis-
trict, tempted by the vast supplies of turnip and other
artificial food, vast quantities of the lean stock of Scot-
land and England have been drawn; and from this, when
in good condition, they are transported in extraordinary
quantities by the railway to London and the other great
markets of the kingdom. Latterly considerable r fforts
have been made to introduce throughout the eastern
counties the purest breeds both of sheep and cattle, and
a glance at the names of the most successful candidates
in the list of prices, which I subjoin, will satisfactorily
show that the matter is in good hands. In the breed-
ing of horses for agricultural purposes'Suffolk stands
pre-eminent gthroughout England, and it was there-
fore to be expected that this department of the exhibi-
tion would be a splendid one. Nor has the expectation
been disappointed, a finer collection of these animals
was never perhaps seen together, and in roadster stal-
lions and brood mares the show was also remarkable for
its excellence. The display of horses on the whole was
not so numerous nor so splendid in its general character
as that of York, but for the purposes of an agricultural
society the best judges think it superior. The show of
dray horses was small and rather inferior. The stallion,
which carried off the highest prize in the first class, is
really:a magnificent creature, and looked as full of pride
as if' he understood the honour that had been conferred
upon him, and the admiration be had received through-
out the day. His great size and length of bone were
objected to by some critics wedded to the pudgy charac-
ter of the Suffolk breed, to which he certainly does not
belong, though his owner lives in Norfolk; but it is
often by no means amiss, through the medium of awards
like this, to remind the breeder that be may carry the
best qualities of his stock to excess—and that the prin-
ciple of having the largest amount of power in the smallest
bulk may be pushed too far. Turning to cattle—the
show of short horns and Devons were both excellent,
that of Herefords alone being rather interior. The bull

first-rate competitors was facile princeps. His great
size, beauty of form, and docility, made him the principal
object of attraction in the yard, and he took the ni ani-
pulations of the farmers who pressed around him with
such thorough composure, that he won golden opinions
from all Rho saw him. In the sheep department of the
show there was an unequalled exhibition of South-
downs, and the shearling ewes in particular w, re, it is
the opinion of the best judges, never surpassed. The
Leicester and long-wool sheep were also present in con-
siderable numbers, and the exhibition of them was of a
very high character, though in the former a mixture of
breeds was suspected in some of the prize stock. In pigs
of the large breeds the show did not rank high, but the
smaller breeds were better, and Mr. Fish,,r Hobbs, of
Boxstead Lodge, near Colchester, exhibited some
porkers which, as far as the species can be said to be so,
w tn. models of symmetry.
