not boast of any works of a higher order of art, of
native production, than those celebrated pictures. The
circumstances under which they were executed were
sufficiently curious, but it would be out of place to ad-
vert at any length to them on the present occasion.
It is said that he liberally offered the society
(although he subsequently received, at the sug-
gestion of Sir Joshua Reynolds, the sum of
500/. for them) to paint those great pictures for "as much
bread and cheese" as he might require during their com-
pletion, so devoted was he to his art, and anxious to have
an opportunity of developing his grand designs, and a
worthy field for their display. It may not be unin-
teresting, as this exhibition is not as patent to the pabl;c
generally as the National Gallery and other exhibitions
of the kind in London, to state briefly that these pic-
tures were meant originally to illustrate the proposition,
that " the attainment of happiness, individual and public,
depends on the cultivation of the human faculties." In
the six pictures by which the artist so successfully en-
deavoured to carry out the above idea, he has thus
treated the subject. The figures are the size of life.
The first represents mankind in a savage state ; the
second, a Grecian Harvest Home—a Thanksgiving to
Ceres and Bacchus ; the third, the Victors in the
Olympic Games; the fourth, Navigation; the fifth, the
Society of Arts; and the sixth, the Elysian Fields, or the
state of final retribution and reward.

As soon as the members of the society had assembled
in the council-room, the chair was taken by John Lewis
Ricardo, Eq., M.P., vice-president.
The minutes of the last meeting were then read and
confirmed, after which,

Mr. T. B. JORDAN road a most instructive paper on
the application of machinery to sculptural purposes, de-
corative, architectural, or artistic—showing how carvirg
of all kinds on wood and stone might be effected by
mechanical contrivances, and illustrating his remarks in
a most lucid and scientific manner, by occasional refer-
ences to drawings, models, diagrams, and sculptures.
The specimens exhibited were highly interesting, parti-
cularly those by which was manifested the possibility
and practicability of manufacturing companion subjects
of the same designs, reversed as they might be supposed
to appear in a mirror.
After the conclusion of the oonversation which arose
on Mr. Jordan's lecture (so to call it), a vote of thanks
was passed for his communication.
I❑ consequence of the lateness of the hour at which
the discussion on Mr. Jordan's inventions terminated,
Mr. J. A. LEON said he wished to postpone the read-
ing of the paper which he had to submit to the society,
on high-pressure steam generators.
The following members were balloted for, and admitted
during the evening:—Sir William Curtis, Bart., Ne-
theravon, Wiltshire; Henry Pickton, Normal School,
Borough-road, Southwark; James Lyne llancock, Gos-
well-mews, Goswell road; George Frederick Morel!,
149, Fleet-street; Alfred S. Joe, 6, John street, Adel-
phi; Thomas Musgrave, 6, Gordon-square, London;
Solomon Maw, 11, Aldersgate-street, and Hornsey;
Edward Varnish, Hyde Park-gate Villa, South Ken-
sington; John Edward Errington, C.E., Adam•street,
Adelphi; Thomas Parry, 38, Bloomfield-road, Pad-
dington. _ .

The following were proposed for admission to the so-
ciety :—The Hon. Edward Cecil Curzon, Scarsdale
House, Kensington; William Williams, 6, Rood-lane,
City; George Claridge, 2, Regent-place East, Regent-
square; Juhn George Bonner, 7, Furnival's Inn; J. R.
Gardiner, the Duchy of Cornwall, Somerset House; J
Jackson, Grove-road, Brixton.
The meeting then broke up.

CHESTER WINTER ASSIZES.

CHESTER, THURSDAY.—Last night George Joseph
Mantle was found guilty of conspiracy and sedition, but
was not sentenced.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, DEC. 6.—At Gloucester market, on the
2d, wheat was is to 2s per quarter lower; at Worcester,
same day, a reduction of 2s per quarter was submitted
to. Barley, Is per quarter lower. Oats, 6d to is
cheaper. Beans and peas nearly maintained their value,
in consequence of a small supply. During the present
week we have twain had little passing in the trade, but
wheat is offering sparingly, and goo 1 qualities are sale-
able at fully as much money. Barley, nominally un-
altered. Oats, 6d per quarter hw'r. On beans the
turn is in favour of the buyer, with a limited demand.
No transactions reported in peas. At this day's market
there was a fair supply of wheat, which sold readily at
the currency of this day se'nnight, arid in some instances
prime samples of red and white English realised an ad
vance of is per quarter. Barley dull, but not low. Oats,
an improved sale at a decline. Beans sold in retail at
former prices, except damp new, which were cheaper.
Very little sale for peas of any kind.
BRISTOL, Due. 2.—At this day's market there was a
moderate supply of English wheat brought in by the
farmer's. Ord English cheats fraught 52s to 56s per
quarter, and new from 44s to 48s; the new was, how-
ever, generally, in very bad condition. Old and dry new
were saleable at former prices. In foreign wheats there
was a drop of about Is per imperial quarter, foreign
white bringing 54s to 56s per 4801bs. Foreign red, fine
qualities, 50s to 525; foreign red, ordinary qualities,
46s to 495, ditto, hard, 45s to 50s. The flour trade was
extremely dull, and is per sank cheaper; English seconds
soli at 37s to 39s per sack; American, &c., sweet, 2Ss to
30s per sack. Malting barley was rather dearer, best
English realising 32s to 361 per imperial quarter; grind-
ing parcels of good quality were scarce, and brought
full prices, both English arid foreign bringing from 24s
to 27s per 4001bs. Oats were extremely dull, and lower
rates were accepted; Devon and Welsh lbs 6d to 17s 6d
per imperial quarter; Irish white 19s to 20s per 3201b5;
Irish black, 16s to 17s 6d per imperial quarter. Foreign
none. In Egyptian Beans there was no alteration.
English brought 40s to 44s per imperial quarter;
foreign, 34s to 38s per 4801bs. At the Gloucester
market the wheat trade continued heavy with
moderate supplies; picked samples of new English were
Is per quarter, ad all other descriptions, including fo-
reign, 2s per quarter lower. The Flour trade was ex-
tremely dull, and Is per sack cheaper. English malting
barley was the turn cheaper, whilst foreign was pressed
at a reduction of is to Is 6d per quarter ; grinding also
declined in value Is per quarter. Oats were in good
supply, and of slow sale at a decline of 6d to is per quar-
ter. The demand fur Egyptian Beans was dull, but
they were not lower in price. The arrivals during the
week have been—from Waterford, in the Rose, 250
quarters, 164 sacks, and 200 barrels of oats, and 96
sacks of pollards ; from Cork, in the Green Isle, 200
barrels of oats, in the Nimrod, 400 quartets of barley ;
from Minehead, in the Packet, '29 quarters of barley,
12 quarters of malt, and 18 quarters of wheat flour ;
from Liverpool, in the Troubadour, 105 baskets of flour;
from Prince Edward's Island, 143 bushels of oats; from
Dublin, in the Victory, 250 quarters of oats, 190 barrels
of black oats, 25 sacks of pollards, and 240 sacks of oats;
from Cork, in the Juverna, 120 quarters of barley, 156
barrels of grinding barley, 100 quarters of oats, and 20
barrels of oats ; from Gloucester, in the Fanny, 1,250
cat of flour; from Bideford, in the Prince of Wales, 100
quarters of barley. The averages for the week have
been, by the corn inspector's weekly return—wheat, 47s
2d; oats, 13s I Id; barley, 33s 10; beans, 36s 10d.
ROMSEY FAT CATTLE Snow, DEC. 7.—The Christ-
mas show took place this day. The weather was very
unfavourable, yet the quantity and quality of stock and
sheep exceeded last year's exhibition. There were some
beasts of Lord Palmerston's, of Broadlands ; Sir John
Barker Mills, of Mottisfont Abbey; Wm. Steel Tomp-
kins, Esq., of Broughton, &c. Sheep shown by Mr.
Alfred Beisley and a Mr. Clark, both from Fins-
bury. Messrs. Allsop's, of East Wellow; Messrs. King's,
of Broughton; Mr. Robert Spencer's, of Riege Farm,
Romsey; and others, were very superior animals. The
Calves were greatly admired, as were also the fat pigs.
The exhibition of Swede and other turnips, mangel
wurtzel, and various roots, was exceedingly fine. The
best oxen we re sold to dr. Oliver of Southampton, at
high prices, one making 421 and another 401. The Down
wether sheep realised from 55s to 60s each, or near 8d
per lb all round. Calves, lls 6d per stone for the best,
and lOs 6d second rate. Finest prize fat pigs, 71 each
for two, and 61 each for the third; nearly all brought
found purchasers. At three o'clock about seventy gen-
tlemen arid agriculturists of the neighbourhood sat down
to a substantial dinner, provided by Messrs. Cocks, of
the White Horse Inn. After such had been partaken
of, and the cloth removed, the prizes were distributed
by Mr. George Jenvey, Secretary to the Ronssey Asso-
ciation and Cattle Show.

STAMFORD, DEC. I.—Our market to-day was very
large. There was a good supply of both wheat and
barley, but the demand continued slow, and a reduction
of is per quarter on each article had to be conceded. In
other sorts of corn no alteration.—Wheat 44s to 50s;
barley, 29s to 31s; beans, old, 39s to 41s; new, 33s to
35_s•, peas 40s to 435; oats 18s to 255 per quarter.
LINCOLN, DEC. I.—There was a moderate supply of
wheat, which met a fair sale, at Is to 2s decline. Of
barley there was a large supply, and the sate was slow
at a like decline. Oits were 6d to is cheaper.—Wheat,
red, 42s to 48s; white, 44s to 50s; barley, malting, 30s
to 335; grinding, 26s to 28s; oats, new, 15s to 20s; old,
21s to 275; beans, old, 41s to 435 per quarter.—

(aver. 41s 8d). Price of Rough Fat +or Tallow, in the
Lincoln Butchery, on Friday last, 4s 3d per atone.

BOSTON, DEC. 6.—There was '.rmness in the cheat
trade to-day, and with a fair average supply the rates of
this day week were fully supported. Nu qu )table change
in the value of oats and beans.—Wheat, red, 41s to 475;
hite, 495; oats, 14s to 225; beans, new, 30s to 355; old,
38s to 40s; teas, blue, 40s to 45s per quarter.
11'1:TECH, DEC. 2.—We continue to receive fair but
not large supplies of wheat, and little of any other ar-
ticle. The trade in wheat, owing to the dull accounts
from all the leading markets, was again depressed, but
at a decline of Is per quarter there was a fair business
done, and rather a better feeling existed. Oats and
Leans were to be bought rather lower.—Wheat, new red,
41s to 475, extra 48s, white 43s to 495, extra 51s; old
red 48s to 51s, extra 525, white 50s to 55, extra 565;

about the same rates as last week.—Wheat, 02 52s to
545, new 48s to 51s; barley 30s to 335; oats, old 285 tc
30s, new 22s to 245; beaus 44s to 48s per qr. Butter 13d
to 144 per lb. Eggs 11 to 12 ter is.
EAST RETFORD, DEC. 2.—We have not had so much
business transacted to-day as for some preceding weeks;
notwithstanding, the attendance of factors was quite
equal to that of past weeks. For barley a good demand
existed.—The returns exhibited the averages to be of
wheat 52s 91d, and barley 30s 4i-cl per quarter.
GAINSBoRO', DEC. s.—Wheat 45s to 565-666 quar-
ters, 1,6531 Ils 9d (average 495 74d); barley, 362 quar-
ters, 5311 18s Od (average 293 4ict); oats 9 quarters,
916 s (average 20s 8d); beans"s ciaittiers, 91 .5s 6d (aver-
age 37s id).

Wheat 46s 9id; barley 28s 44d; oats 17s per quarter.

considered very little under last week's prices, but
every kind of grain is quoted lower. Return of sales up
to Saturday last—Wheat 20 qrs, 461 Os (aver 465);
barley 16 qrs, 231 4s (aver 295); oats 63 qrs, 641 16s
(aver 20s 64d); beans 14 qrs, 301 14s (aver 43 101 d).
LOUTH, DEC. 6.—At this day's market the business
done was not extensive, and we noticed no change in
the value of any article. There were more samples of
good wheat showing than we expected; and as regards
barley and oats, there was nothing to complain of.
Wheat 44a to 475; barley 26s to 30s; oats 16s to 19s;
beans 35s to 40s per qr. •
SPALDING, DEC. s.—This day's market was badly
supplied with dry wheats ; indeed of all kinds there
were few samples, the time of year considered. Sales
generally were not pressed by the farmers; consequently
the millers, contrary to their expectation, were obliged
to give the full prices of the previous market, and in
some instances a little advance ; say for 17/st. red
Wheat 42s to 44s ; 18st, 44s to 46s ; 17ist white 44s to
46s ; 18st, 45s to 48s. The Oat trade was really a slow
one at lower prices. Few new beans offering at 30s to
32s ; old 403 to 425., 19st. Return of sales for the past
week :—Wheat 938 qrs, 42s ; oats, 345 qrs, 15s 9,1 ;
beans, 97 qrs, 40s.
SLEAFORD, DEC. 4.—There was not much business
doing here to-day ; the price of grain was rather lower
than last week. Wheat, white 473 to 48s, red 46s to 475;
barley 28s to 29s ; oats 17s to 20s ; beans 40s to 42s
per quarter.
NEWARK, DEC. 6.—The decision of the new Corn
Exchange proprietors as to closing the doors for business
on fair-days (except falling on a Wednesday) made this
day's market large. The supply of Wheat consisted
principally of qualities out of condition, which were re-
luctantly taken at a decline of is to 2s per quarter; first
quality is dearer. Fine malting barleys were in limited
supply, and commanded 6d per quarter advance; second
qualities is cheaper; which also applies to grinding bar.
ley. Oats, beans, and peas had a downward tendency,
and little was doing in them. The quotations below were
the ruling prices of the day:—Wheat, new white, 50s to
525, red 49s to 50a; barley, malting 32s to 32s 6d,
grinding 28s to 295; old beans, 43s to 445; peas, white
42s to 465, blue 50s to 56s per quarter. Oats, new 10d
to Is per stone.
11.,THERHADI CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 4.—The sup-
ply of both beasts and sheep was.not so large, yet equal
to the demand. The attendance of buyers was middling
numerous, which caused the beef trade to be brisk, at a
shade higher in price; mutton the same as last week's
quotation:—Beef, 6s to Gs 9d per st; mutton, 5d to Gd
per lb.
GLASGOW, DEC. 6.—Coastwise and from Ireland our
supplies have been light; from Canada and the United
States there arrived about 3,836 quarters of wheat,
5,502 barrels of flcur, 346 quarters of peas, end 119
loads of oatmeal. At Grangemouth, about 1,002 quar-
ters of wheat and 130 quarters of beans and peas
reached from foreign ports. Business during the past
week continued dull and lifeless; part of the late Cana-
dian arrivals beimg pressed on the market at 24s to 24s
6d pr 2401 b for wheat, and 28s to 28s 6d per barrel for
flour, in retail even, caused the trade to operate with still
greater reluctance than heretofore. This day's market
was thinly attended, and the sales effected were of little
importance. Wheat and flour have to be written 61
lower per boll or barrel. Barley nominally una.tered,
the stuck, both of malting or grinding descriptions, being
light, but neither kind a ready sale. Oats and oatmeal
in slow demand, and the turn in favour of buyers, Beam,

and peas in moderate request at last week's prices. India
corn and meal neglected.
EDINBURGH, DEC. 6.—At the market to-day sales
)
were ready for all sorts, but back in price, except barley,
which sold better than last day. The quantity of wheat
brought forward to-day was 512 qrs.. being 45 qrs. less
than last week. Top price the same as last week, but
the average 3d up-95 qrs. unsold. The quantity of
barley brought forward was 1,183 qrs., being 364 less
than last week. Price on the top down 3d, and the
average ld-28 qrs. unsold. Ot oats we had 1,019 qrs.
brought•forward, or 26 qrs. less then last week. Top
i price Is, and the average 61 down-65 qrs unsold.
The quantity of beans to-day was 124 qrs., or 24 qrs.
less than last week. Prices on the top and average same
88 last a eek-14 qrs. unsold.

THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE

SHOW.

Yesterday, notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, the visitors more than doubled the numbers of
the previous day.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge yester-
day honoured the club with his presence. His Royal
Highness arrived at the bazaar at one o'clock, and was
received by his Grace the Duke of Richmond, the pre-
sident; Mr. Gibbs, the secretary; Mr. Kendall, and
other members of the club committee; and by Mr. Bout-
nois the proprietor of the bazaar; and was by those
gentlemen accompanied through the exhibition. His
Royal Highness paid particular attention to the Here-
ford ox belonging to Prince Albert. His Royal High-
ness next proceeded to view the stupendous picture
painted by Mr. James Ward, R.A., of the " Alderney
Bull, Cow, and Calf," executed in competition with the
" Bull" of Paul Potter, at the Hague. His Royal
Highness expressed his astonishment and gratification
at viewing so extraordinary a specimen of English art.
Amongst the other members of the aristocracy who
were observed during the day were the Earl of Leicester,
the Marquis of Exeter, the Duke of Cleveland, the Earl
of Radnor, Lord Portman, Major-General Wemyss, Sir
Francis Lawley, Sir R. P. Joddrell, the Earl of Verulam,
Sir Thomas Lennard, Colonel Sibthorp, &c.
During the evening the electric light was exhibited by
Messrs. Stai:e and Petrie, and with a most wonderful
and extraordinary effect. The battery was erected on
the roof, and the light directed from the south-east
angle, rendering the entire area nearly as light as day.
The experiment was so successful that it is understood
that during this day and to-morrow it will be used in
lieu of gas.
It is said that there could not have been less than
from 20,000.t0 30,000 visitors during the day.
