MiI:TESTY's &4a. of SPANISH SFIEJP,

Yesterday morning, about-ten O't -.lock, the breeders
and :Gentlemen who are, engigt td in rearing of
Spanish Sheep began to assemble in the Paddock,
south of the Pagoda, at Kew, .and entered on their
examination of the forty-two Mtt .ino Sheep, in as
Many pens, which had been selc ted by the superm
intendants of his Majesty's :Fanning Concern, at
Kew, for sale on this occasion : they consisted of
fourteen four-toothed Rams, two six-toothed Rams,
seventeen full-mouthed Ewes,, four six-toothed
Ewekand -four other aged or broken-mouthed
Ewee,: all of the true Merino breed; without any'
admixture or cross of other breeds. fit general; it
seemed from this examination, that the Sheep were:
considerably larger than those ' soid by his Majesty.
four or five years-ago, when this•sale ,was first esta-
blished, and much improved in carcase, and were'
equal, if not superior, to any before sold, in the
.fineness of their wool.

About half past one o'clock', Mr. Smith, theanc.;.
tioneer, who has succeeded to this.trust, in conse-
quence of the death of Mr. Farnham-, who hitherto
sold the King's -Sheep, opened the -business by a
short but appropriate speech to the company, on his
Majesty's gracious intentions in taking this mode of
disseminating this inestimable kind of Sheep ; and
stated,' that the Rams now before them had, On the
average, sheared tun). each of washed wool, and the
Ewes four pound and a half on the average;y the
wool this' year having, been washed on the Sheep's
backs, before shearing, aecording, to the English
method. He noticed the body of evidence which
has been adduced, of these Sheep being hardy
enough to endure the climateof Shetland, and any
of the,Northern British Isles.

The biddings then commenced, and the whola
were sold as follows, viz.

In ,putting up the last lot, Mr. Smith rather
facetiously observed, that he had now to sell A rara
qv's, aid Merino Ewe; and such in truth'she was,
cowpared 'with any thing which has before been
sold from the King's flock.

At the conclusion of , the sale notice was given,
that such purChasQrs as wished it, might have their
Sheep ddiVeredlinmediately ; and that-bthers,-Whose
convenience it Suited,. might leave them throe or
four days, under the same care which has hitherto
been taken of them.
