" According to dispatches received here yesterday

ROYAL EAST BERSS AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.
—At the annual ploughing match and exhibition of stock of
this association, which has just taken place at Bray, near
Maidenhead, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who was an
exhibitor in four classes, had no less than four prizes awarded
to him by the judges, via.:— In " cattle, class 1," a prize of
for the best faE ox, and a prize of the same amount for
the best in-calf heifer. In " sheep. class 3," a prize of IL 103.
for the beg Southdown ram. His Royal Highness com-
peted for the prize of 11. 103. for the best pen of three
porkers, under six months old, against Robert Palmer, Esq.,
one of the Members for Berks, and J. Ilercy, Esq., but was
unsuccessful, the judges awarding the victory to the latter
gentleman. The animals exhibited by the Prince Consort,
bred and fattened by his Royal Highness on Flemish Farm,
at Windsor, were remarkably handsome, and justly admired
by those present, and highly commended by the judges.

Our market to-day,;Zt7lertilrlT7yell, but not to say
heavily, supplied with Beasts. The number of buyers
in attendance being small, and Newgate and Leadenhall
largely stocked with meat, the Beet trade ruled exces-
sively heavy, at barely Monday's quotations. Sheep—
the numbers of which were moderate—moved off slowly;
but we have no decline to notice in their value. The
fow prime l)owns on offer sold at 4s per 81bs. The
supply of Calves—which Rag chiefly composed of fo-
reigners—was more tban adequate to the demand. Prices
were, therefore, with difficulty supported. An immense
arrival of Pigs having taken place from abroad. tho
Pork trade was heavy, at barely late rates. Milch Cows
were dull, at from 141 to 181 5s each, including their
small Calf. _

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The part of Shylock, in which Mr. Macready ap-
peared last night, was selected by him for the opening
of Drury-lane Theatre, when he undertook the manage-
ment of that house. Nevertheless, it is not one of the
characters which ho commonly sustains, and we may say
generally that the series of personages who are distin-
guished by inherent malignity, and who were so conspicu-
ous in the list of Cooke and Edmund Kean, are not very
prominent in Mr. Macready's repertoire. In rendering
Shylock he seiz 's on the logical temperament of the
Jew, and this ho rigidly follows out, till despair at the
failure of his cause obliterates all distinctive peculiarity.
When, before he advances the money to Antonio, he
enumerates the indignities he has endured, he does this
not so much in spite, but rather as if he were advancing
an argumentuni ad absurdum against the request. In
stating the singular condition of his own bond, he dwells
on the laughter which accompanies his statement, as
if ho would show the contingency to be so absolutely
ridiculous that Antonio need not fear for a
moment to strike the bargain. Such expressions as
—" What I would'st thou have a serpent sting thee
twice ?" and " Hates any one the thing he would
not kill ?" which are susceptible of a concentration of
malignity, he interprets as if they were cool
sound arguments for the course he intends to pursue.
Thei railings and sentimental appeals which assail
him at the judgment-seat he impatiently re-
pels; not so much because they are hurtful
to his feelings, but because they seem to be
away from the point —to be impertinent in-
terruptions to his own straightforward reasoning.
Even though the elopement of his daughter be-
wilders him with rage and grief, he appears amid
the storm of passion consequent upon this event to
fall back upon the analogy between the Jew and
the Christian as though the argumentation were his
natural element. Shylock, it will be borne in mind,
while he is actuated by the deepest malignity, abounds
in arguments, not only plausible, bat good ; and, bad
as he may be individually, he is made by the poet the
mouthpiece of the noble doctrine, that difference of re-
ligious creed makes no difference in the rights between man
and man. To sum up in a few words our notion of Mr.
Macready's interpretation, we should say that he brings
forward the intellectual tenour of Shylock's
mind mere prominently than the aetuating malig-
nity. Mr. Davenport, gentlemanlike and careful
in his elocution as Bassanio. ; Mr. Howe,
lively and spirited as Gratiano ; and Mrs.
Warner as Portia, gave good effect to the perform-
ance. We may especially commend Mrs. Warner for
her speech on mercy, which she delivered to the Jew, as
the poet intended, and not to the audience, which is too
freque►.tly the case. The house was crowded to suffoca-
tion, there being not so much as a good place vacant even
in the slips by the time the curtain rose.

THE EXPOSITOR, No. I.
In anticipation of the Great Industrial Exhibition
of 1851, an illustrative journal, under the above
title,is has just been commenced. Issued from the
establishment of the enterprising publisher, Mr.
Joseph Clayton, junior, we may anticipate
with confidence the fulfilment of all the
brilliant promises given forth to its subscribers in the
opening address and prospectus. The ability and
enterprize of the Leader justify any such confidence in
a weekly organ published under the same intelli-
gent management. As a specimen number, the one
lying before us is sufficiently admirable, moreover,
to confirm the public in those expectations.
While the letter-press is marked by its prevail-
ing perspicuity the wood-engravings are both
clever and manifold, embracing a large variety
of interesting subjects, and enabling the most un-
scientific almost at a glance to comprehend the
nature of the improvements applied by in-
ventors to the industrial arts and sciences.
In this manner we find in one part of the
Expositor a view of the " Recoil Breakwater
and Lighthouse," and in another an outline plan of
the " Dover Harbour of Rofuge." Under the heading
of " Patents, Registered Designs, and Im-
provements," are given sketches of Simpson and
Shipton's short-stroke reciprocating pendulous en-
gine, of Elliott's Opisometer, for measuring curved
lines (a simple but most ingenious contrivance), of
Moseley's continually revolving archimedian drill
stock, of the gutta-percha ear-trumpet, used by
Miss Harriet Martineau, and of the Amempton,
a new and beautiful description of carriage
contrived by Mr. Edwin Kesterton. A larger en-
graving of Dover Harbour is given further on in the
publication, and under it an exquisite drawing
of the Queen's retiring room at the Hay-
market Theatre, a sumptuous apartment, de-
corated with much artistic grace by Sang.
Other curiosities are likewise pourtrayed in the first
number of the Expositor, as, for instance, the three
patent silvered glass goblets lately used at the York
his Royal Highness Prince Albert and
Mayors of York and London. Added
tßhaenqLueotrdbvmay
to these engravings a representation of a cast-iron
lighthouse and other minor embellishments, it will be
apparent that no exertions have been lost in the deco-
ration of the opening or specimen number of the
Expositor.

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN BRIGHTON AND CHER-
BOURG.—III the course of a fortnight it is the intention of
the London and Brighton Railway Company to open a com-
munication between the south coast of England and Caron-
tan, near Cherbourg, a beautiful district of France. The
Ayrshire Lassie, steam-packet, has arrived in Shoreham
Harbour for that purpose; but the precibe by for *lading is
