LORD SOMERVILLE'S FLOCK OF MERINO SHEEP.
'l'o BE SOLD BY PUBLIC AUCTION,
On Wednesday the utl and Thursday the 3d of May next,
['LIE WHOLE OF THIS SPEAK, selected in
.1- 1800 and 1801, from sundry Leafless Flacks, and bred
without any talmixture of other blood.
The superiority of the Leoresa, over every other pile of Spanish
Wool, is to be seen in the Prices Current of our own Weekly
Journals.

The reputation of this Flock is fortunately so well enablished.
as to demand no comment whatever, 'beyond the following state-
ment:

In I ROG, the great Premium given for the best Merino Ram,
by the Board of Agriculture, was won by a Rant of this flock, bred
in England.
In I tIO7, the Prize for the best Ram's Fleece, given by the Bath
and West of England Society, was won by a Ram of this flock,
and it was declared in print by the• Committee of that Society,
(which, sit uatea in the centre of the superfine cloth manufacturers,
has therefore been deemed comclusive) to be the finest fleece of
wool which bad ever come under its examination. The Print of
this Sheep is to be found in Malcolm's •survey of Surrey, in Lau-
rence's Treatise on Live Stock, and iu a late Publication on the
subject of Sheep, &c. by the Proprietor.
The symmetry of his form, and the aptitude to feel, demon-
strated by this auinial in so extraordinary a manner, had, h=fore
the adjudication of this Prize, induced the Proprietor to breed
almost exclusively from him.
Lastly, any doubt of the superior value of these sheep, which
have never been beat in any competition, is for ever removed by
the recent decision of the Bath Society, by which, Pre Mums
were offered last year as follows
CLASS V. No. S. BRITISH FINE Woor.. "As many persons,
" whether manufacturers or others, still deny the practicability of
" producing in Great Britain, Wuol equally fine with that int-
" ported front Spain ; in order to put this question to a trial, front
which there can be no appeal, a Premium of Tea Guineas is
" offered to the Manufacturer of the finest Piece of Navy Blue
" Broad Cloth, dyed in the Wool, not less than twenty-five yards
" in length, which shall be exhibited to the Society, on the day
" before the Annual Meeting in 1609, made front clothing Wool
" from the Sheep Tribe grown in any Country. The name of
" each Manufacturer, and pile or specie.: of Wool, and of the
" Grower, (if British) to be contained in a sealed Paper, having
" on the outside a mark indicating the piece of Cloth to which it
" refers, and which it must accompany. Such Paper not to be
" opened until the Committee shall have made their report on
" the merits of the ti.:Tective Cloths, which report shall be given
" from the Chair; and no person form a part of the Committee
" who is personally interested in the decisi .n."
By the exertions of Messrs. Joyce and Co. Clothiers, the Pre-
mium was adjudged to the Wool of this Flock, and fur this Pre-
mium no less than sixteen pieces of Cloth were exhibited, many
of which were made from picked samples of the Saxon and Spa-
nish 'Merino Piles.

The Sale will take place at Fah-mile Farm, near Cobham,
Surrey, 18 miles from Lot.tion, on the Portsmouth Road, at tea
o'clock in the forenoon.

The great drafts w hick have been made from this flock, last
season only, namely, Seventy-five pure bled Merino Ewes, and
a large number others, highly crossed, must render these sheep
an object of H :uliar attention to every skilful Breeder.

The deck ar Sale will consist of nearly Two Hundred pure
Metino Ewes in high condition, near!) Two Hundred Merino
and Ryland Foes, highly crossed, very capital in their Wool,
an. hirty Rams of the pure Blood, five only being reserved for
the use of the Owner, the whole the get of the Rani above-men-
tioncd.—Each F.we ssiih her Lands will form one lot, as will
also each of the 831314.

The Proprietor thinks it intumbcnt on him plainly to state
that the Siniep will actually be sold without reserve, and that his
motives for holding this sale are of a private and local nature,
and by no means arise trona any change of opinion as to the value
of Merino Stock.

cation only to the Shepherds; the pure Breed at the place of sale;
