RAILWAY STATISTICS.
FROM THE LATEST OFFICIAL REPORTS.

Baltic 22s to 23s
SMITHFIELD.
This being the day appointed for the holding of the
great Christmas Market, we had at a very early hour
a large attendance of butchers and graziers, from al-
most all parts of England; with an extensive number
of the former residing in the metropolis ; hence, as
might be conceived, the greatest animation and bustle
was apparent. Contrary to general expectation, the
supply of beasts- derived from our grazing districts
was much more superior than that brought for-
ward for a series of years past : indeed, we
might venture to observe that there were not fifty
forming it in any way beneath the middle quality—
hence it elicited the surprise and approbation of all
present, and reflected great credit upon the skill and
enterprise of the agricultural community. The com-
petition between the Hereford, Devon, Durham, and
short-horned breeders, was so extremely keen that
we scarcely linow how, in the spirit of strict fairness,
to award the palm to either in particular. How-
ever, for weight, size, and symmetry, including
of course actual value we might, we consider,
state that the Herefords (except in the instance
of the Scots, which we shall , have occasion to parti-
cularise below) was as a whole triumphant, embracing
as they did some of the most wonderful animals we
ever saw exhibited for sale in this market. Decidedly
the best of this truly excellent breed were brought
forward by Mr. Rowland, of Creslow, who had on
offer about forty, estimated to weigh nearly 200
stone, and for which 401. each was asked for the,
average of the drove. We next come to the
Devons, which, though not quite so extensive in.
numerical strength as at the corresponding market
day last year, well maintained their long-established
fame; yet, generally speaking, their weight was not
quite so great as on that occasion. There were about
400 splendid pure Durhams, consigned to various
salesmen, and which were fully as good as in many
preceding seasons. As to the short horns, these were
more than usually prime, and those offering
,by Mr.
Robert Morgan, the property of Mr. Goodall, of
Deeping Fen, and Messrs. Thomas and Wiseman, o
Holbeach, Lincolnshire, which gentlemen sent, alsb,
some very prime Herefords, were certainly the ;,best,
and produced high figures; while they were surrounded
by crowds of people during the day. The Scots next
command attention, and, notwithstanding we received
few really good ones from Scotland, those exhibited by
Mr. Vorley, and owned by Messrs. J. and H. Rayner,
of the Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire (ten in number),
were scarcely ever equalled, much less excelled. These
surprising creatures, which were estimated to weigh
nearly 120 stone, were considered to be worth quite
32/ per head, which will at once show that we have
not overrated them. Messrs. Gurrier and Maidwell,
as also several others, had excellent shows of beasts ;
in fact, to do justice to this admirable collection of
stock, brought together, as will be conceded, under
disadvantageous circumstances, would be impossible.
As to the numbers, these were considerably less than
last season, yet fully adequate to suit the wants ,of
the buyers. At the commencement of the market
they purchased slowly, but as the (lay advanced, the
biddings became more spirited, and we are happy in
being enabled to intimate that an advance in the
quotations of Beef offrom 2d to 4d per 81bs, was firmly
established, and a good clearance was effected
previously to•the conclusion of the market. To pre-
vent any misunderstanding at a time so important as
this is, we beg to state that the highest general quo-
tations for Beef were from 4s 4d to 4s 8d per 81bs,
though of course some cases could be named, in which
from 4s to 5s per 81bs were obtained; but as these
figures were not those dealing as an average, we deem
it proper to omit them from our tabular statement.
This we deem a matter of positive necessity•to mention,
as we find some statements giving higher rates,
for the general transactions, in the market than
are warranted by the actual trade. The numbers of
Sheep were rather more than those of last year, and
quite an unusual improvement was observed in their
quality and condition. Downs, though rather scarce,
were very good, and we must . say that that descrip-
tion of sheep, together with the Lincolns, Leicesters,
Dents, and Somersets, excited our admiration. And
we cannot pass unnoticed about forty Downs
and polled Sheep .in Mr. John Weall's pens,
sent to that gentleman by E. F. Whittingstall,
Esq., of Langley-Berry, Hertfordshire. For weight,
size and shape, we should say the polled descriptions
certainly exceeded those ever shown in this market,
and we have no hesitation whatever in stating that
had they been shown in the yard of the Smithfield
Club, they would have carried off the prizes offered
by that Society. Some of these extraordinary sheep
weighed upwards of thirty stones, and for which Si
5s each were demanded. The mutton trade was
somewhat renovated, and the currencies had an
upward tendency, say of from 2d to 4d per lb, the
Downs reaching, without much apparent difficulty,
4s Gd per 81bs. Calves came fresh to hand,
and were disposed of at last Friday's rise of 2d per
Bibs. The York trade was tolerably steady at fully,
but at nothing quotable beyond, late rates. From
Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and
Warwickshire, we received 2,800 short-horns, runts,
and Hereford ; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, 320 Scots, homelands, runts, &c.;
from our western and midland districts, 700 Devons,
Durhams, runts, Herefords, and Irish beasts; from
other parts of England, 250 Herefords runts, &c. ;
from Scotland by steamers, 170 horned and polled
Scots ; from Ireland, 80 beasts; the remainder of the
supply being made up by the stall-feeders, &c., in
the neighbourhood of London. Not a single fresh
head of stock was on offer from abroad ; there being
only a very rough Hamburghbeast received, via Hull.
The imports, as will be seen by the annexed returns,
have been small indeed :

It has been intimated that importations have taken
place for our markets, from Calcutta and the Canadas,
but we beg most distinctly to intimate to our readers,
that no receipts whatever have come to hand here front
those distant parts ;—the cows named in some of the
reports having merely belonged to the owners of
vessels, for the better accommodation of their passengers'

The receipts of country -killed meat, since Monday
last, have not been on quite so extensive a scale as in
many preceding weeks, still they have been season
ably large. With London slaughtered meat, how;
ever, we have been heavily supplied, while the derna
for all except the primcst qualities—which have
mostly maintained their value—has 'proved eves
sively dull at miserably low figures. This is aho "*.
pected to be a very dull week.
