CATTLE SHOWS.

(Abridged from the Brighton Gazette.)
HAL SHAM.

This show took place yesterday. The market was well at-
tended, and some of the cattle at the show remarkably fine.
At two o'clock a large company assembled at the George
Inn to dine, G. Darby, Esq., in the chair, supported on the
right by W. C. Mabbott, Esq.) and by Sir T. :if. Wilson,
Bart., on the left. H. B. Curteis, Esq., M. P., was present,
and between 20 and 30 of his Radical friends from Brighton
also attended.

The CHAIRMAN gave the " King," the " Queen," " Success
to the Cattle Show," the " Earl of Egremont," the " Mem-
bers of the County."
Mr. CURTEIS, in returning thanks, proposed that when the
business of the cattle show was disposed of, they should adjourn
So the open air, if no larger room could be provided, as others
besides these present had a right to hear the sentiments ex-
pressed on the present state of public affairs.
The CHAIRMAN said that whatever might be determined
upon after the business of the meeting was disposed of, he
must at present proceed with the business of the cattle show.
Mr. CURTEIS acquiesced in the suggestion, and
The CHAIRMAN then adjudged the prizes ; after...which
The CHAIRMAN expressed his determination not to adjourn ;
he would remain there as long as the old supporters of the fair
were present ; and if others went elsewhere, he might attend
as a freeholder, but would not preside as Chairman.
Mr. Cultism then proposed the health of Sir T. Wilson;
whieh having been drank with applause,
Sir T. Witson returned thanks.
Mr. CURTEIS hoped the electors would be careful not to let
a Tory slip in under the mask of Conservative.
Sir Tnos. WiLsoN—l manfully avow myself a Tory.—
(Great applause and disapprobation.)
Mr. CURTEIS expressed his admiratien of the manly and
straightforward conduct of Sir T. Wilson, and called on Re-
formers, whether Whigs or Radicals, to come forward and sup-
port him against the titled Aristocracy o(the county, who had
raised a purse of 20,0001. in support of his opponent.
Mr. CtraTEis.subse:jnently declared that if he had no choice
but between the government of the Duke of Wellington and
that of Lord Durham, he would prefer the latter. He also
expressed his views as to the extension of the suffrage, short-
ening of parliaments, and the ballot ; and said that if the
freeholders became anxious for it (the ballot) he should con-
sider the time come when it ought to be granted. If the go-
vernment took office under such manifestations as had been
made in the country, it was impossible to tell what such a
government would do ; but he reminded the electors that the
greatest dislike had always been shown by the Tories to the
101. clause of the Reform Bill.
Mr. MABBOTT said that Mr. Curteis' father would not have
come forward had it not been for the purse—( Hear, and
uproar.) He gave his support to Mr. Curteis' father, and
would have continued to give it to the son, if he had not
declared himself a Radical.
Mr. CURTEIS asked whether the allusion was intended as a
personal insult to himself—if so, there was a remedy--( Great
disturbance.)
Mr. MABBOTT had misunderstood Mr. Curteis; but as to
reforms, he was as much an advocate for them as Mr. Curteis.
(Groans, hisses, and indescribable noise and confusion. )
Mr. DARBY then addressed the meeting at considerable
length, and contended that the Duke of Wellington had
shewn a greater disposition to support the agricultural interest
than the Earl of Durham who entertained free trade principles.
Mr. Darby then asked Mr. Selmes (we believe) whether he
had not voted for Sir E. Knatchbull, in Kent.
Mr. SELMES replied that he had.
Mr. DARBY—And yet in this county Mr. Selmes supported
Mr. Curteis.
Mr. SELMES explained. He considered Sir E. Knatchbull
a friend to agriculture and a man of great influence, and
therefore supported him. Mr. Selmes then assured Sir T.
Wilson that it would be of no use for him, after his address,
to go into his (Mr. Selmes') district—(Battle, we believe, in
whose neighbourhood Mr. Curteis's estates are situated)—for
none out of 48 parishes there would support hirii; except a few
parsons. (Uproar.)—Even a Tory had assured him (Mr.
Selmes) " that if the tithes were not taken off, he would
rather submit to a revolution." It was now nearly eight
o'clock, and the company drew off (most of them being a con-
siderable distance from their homes), apparently not in the
best humour with each other. The Brighton party had made
a journey of 22 miles to attend this meeting. There were
about 100 persons in the room, besides numbers who were
clamorous for admittance, which they could not obtain, al-
though many of them, we believe, were persons accustomed
to attend the Cattle Show.

ARUNDEL.
The Arundel Show Market on Tuesday was well at-
tended, and the quality and quantity of the stock shown
equal, if not surpassing, that of any former year. Among the
persons assembled, we noticed the Dke of Richmond, who ap-
peared to take great interest in viewing the stock exhibited,
conversing freely with the farmers near him. A considerable
number of persons connected with agriculture, including
several gentlemen of the neighbourhood, dined at the
Norfolk Arms, at which dinner the Earl of Surrey presided.
The meeting being for the purpose of deciding on the merits
of the stock shown at the Market, politics were not discussed.
