tifie.d for Several days;past, by viewing the
sheep lately imported from Spain, which are at pie, ‘•
sent grazing in St. James's Park, attended by the ,
eight shepherds who: were appointed to attend them
during their passage. About 1300 of these f're'e.
sheep were shipped in Spain, and upwards of 1200
have safely arrived. They are shorn close, but as
yet have not sufficiently recovered from the fAtigue
of:their journey to appear.to advantage. 'The shep-
herds (the same who art iv ed last year) have a Iregular
allowance of food per day, at his Majesty's charge;
and are otherwise well provided, and, have liberty id
remain in England as long as they please. They
have a very: rustic appearance, and -eicite much
miration from their uncouth dress. They are ex-
tremely swarthy, wear large dusty, breod-blitrirned
hats,, and, like their -sheep, seem not as yet cleansed
from thedirt they accumulated in their journey.
lsroA-,GOATS.—Some very 'beautiful animatS of
the'.goat kind have been sent home from India in
the late fleet, as a present from Sir E. Baillie to hi
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. They are
larger than the ordinary size; with smooth
beautifully speckled, as we sometimes see- deer;
with very brilliant colours.' One of them, in parti
cular, ta. Male, is beautifully variegated with red and
white. His horns, which are smooth, are also ele-
gantly mottled. These animals were brought, to
Calcutta, at the express desire of his Royal Highness
to Sir E. Baillie, from Delhi, where they had'beeti
introduced
,from: Persia. His Royal "Highness in:. •
tended them for his Royal Mother's -Lodge at FrOg,
more, and has already presented them to her Ma,
jesty, who is highly gratified with the gift: , The
number originally embarked was four, viz. one mald
and three females; and being likely to be very
troublesoMe passengers,' and to ehdartgerihelr Own'
safety by their own inconsiderate and-untimely 'gam-
bols, they were committed to the care of Captain
Herbert, of the Company's ship Euphrates; with
a•particular request to pay every attention to their
safe and healthful conveyance. Captain Herbert
'attended -so,well to his charge, that, though two of.
'the females were knocked about so dreadfully as to
occasion their death, in the tremendous gale which
separated the fleet off: the ISle of France, on the
• 14th of March, one of two kids, a female, left by
one of them, was preserved and reared by the milk
of the ship's cow; and landed in good health .with
the surviving female and male. These three were
conveyed to-town immediately after the Euphrates
arrived in the River ; and being kept some days is
the stable of Carlton House, were sent to-Frogniore,
where they now are. There is every assurance,
that with proper attention, the breed will be speedily,
multiplied, as the elder female was twice pregnant
during the voyage, though in consequence of the'
male having got access to her, she was prevented
from bringing forth her young in a perfeEt
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. has con-
veyed, , through Colonel Macrnahon, hiS gracious
acknowledgments for Captain Herbert's care of these
animals, which, from the description of their beauty
and usefulness, he had long desired to annex to the
ornamental stock of Frogmore. When the breed
is nirore generally diffused, it will be a valuable ad-
dition to the improvernerqs:and extensions recently
made in the animal stbck xf-f,flte kingdom.
