40cat 1,200 head of stock have been landed at Hull and
the ether perthera outports, and 14 Oxen at Southamp-
ton,_from Spain. We perceive that the importation of
d. W
Merino Sheep has been recommenced.
We trust that
every care will be taken by the authorities to prevent
the introduction of those which may in any way be
affected with disease, as we have no hesitation in saying
that our flock masters and others have suffered severe
bates by these importation.. It is pretty generally un-
derstood that very few, if any, more Beasts will arrive
hither this year either from Spain or Portugal. No im-
provement in the quality of that description of stock has
Yet taken place: The breed generally is of very light
Weight. There were received at Southampton yesterday
82 Oxen from. Oporto. The principal portion of the
cargo arrived hither this morning, per railway, in gad
cohdition. The show of foreign stock to-day, owing to
the non-arrival'ot two Dutch steamers laden with cattle,
".as very moderate, even the time of year
considered.
t-*etterally speaking, the, quality was inferior. The
Priltest Beasts, Sheep, and Calves, were in moderate
request, at full prices. Otherwise the demand ruled
"ivy. From those quarter's 'Whence the principal por-
tions of our bullock droves are derived at this period of
theqear, the arrivals of Beasts fresh up this morning by
"drift" and railway, were seasonably large as to number.
There Was, however, a great deficiency observable in
their general quality. Notwithstanding the unfavour-
able state of the weather for slaughtering, the primest
