LORI) SOMEiVILLE'II FLOCk OF MERINO SHEEP.
• TO BE SOLIYBY PUBLIC AUCTION,
• WednesdilThr ed and Thursday the 3d of May next,
'HE WHOLE QF THTS STOCK, selected in
ispo 'and. Atli,' from 'intsdry Leonesa Flocks, and bred
without any thine:tore of other blood.
The su periork of the Leonesa, over every other pile of Spanish
Wool, is to be seen in the Prices Current of our own Weekly
Journals.
'lke reputation of 'this Flock is fortunately so well established,
as to demand no comment whatever, beyoud the following state•

mem:
In 1806, the great Premium given for the best Merino Ram,
by the. Board of Agriculture, was won by a Ram of this flock, bred
in England.
In 1807, the Prize for the best Ram's Fleece, given by the Bath
and West of Fogiand•Seciety, was won by a Ram of this flock,
and it was declared in Print by 'the Committee of that Society,
(which, situated in the cuntre of the superfine cloth manufacturers,
has therefore been deemed conclusive) 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 in a late Publication ou the
•
subject of Sheep, &c. by the Proprietor.
The symmetry of his form, and the aptitude to feed, demon-
, 'traced by this animal in so extraordinary a manner, bad, before
tlie adjudication of this. Prize, induced the Proprietor to breed
'almost exclusively from him.
Lastly, any doubt of the superior value of these sheep, whisk
hive never been beat in any competition, is for ever removed by
the recent decision of the Bath Society, by which, Premiums
were offered last year as follows :
CLAss V. No. S. Barman Fret Woos. "As many persons,
" whether manufacturers or others, still deny the practicability of
" producing In Great Britain, Wool equally fine with that ins-
" ported from Spain ; in order to put this question to a trial, from
" which there can be no appeal, a Premium of Ten Guineas is
• offered to the Manufacturer •of the finest Piece of Navy Blue
4 Broad Cloth, dyed in the Wool, not less than twenty-five yards
• in length, which shill be exhibited to the Society, on the day
before the Annual Meeting in 1009, made front clothing Wool
from the Sheep Tribe grown in any Country. The name of
each ManufactUrer, and pile or species 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 respective Cloths, which report shall be given
" from the Chair; and no person form a part of the Committee
" who is pefsonaily interested in the decision."
By the exertions of Messrs. Joyce and Co. Clothiers, the Pre-
mium was adjudged to the Wool of this Flock, and for 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 Fairmile Farm, near Cobham,
Surrey, 18 miles from London, on the Portsmouth Road, at ten
o'clock in the forenoon.
The great drafts which have been made from this lock, last
season only, namely, Seventy-five pure bred Merino Ewes, and
a large-number of others, highly crossed, must render these beep
an object of peenliar attention to every skilful Breeder.
The Flock for Sale will consist of nearly Two Hundred pure
Merino Ewes in high condition, neatly Two Hundred Merino
and Ryland. Ewes, highly crossed, very capital in their Wool,
and Thirty Rams of the pure Blood, five only being reserved for
the Me of chi Owner, the whole the get of the Rana above-men-
tioned.—Each Ewe .with her Lamb will form one lot, as will
also each of the Rams.
The 'Proprietor thinks it incumbent on him plainly to state
that the Sheep Will actually be sold without reserve, and that his
Motives 'for holding this sale are of a private and local nature,
and by ntlimeans arise from any change of opinion as to the value
of Merino Stock.
The Sheep may be viewed every Thursday by personal appli-
Cation bnly to the Shepherds; the pure Breed at the place of sale;
the nified till Tbunsday the 19th of April, at Bipo'; Park, Bark.
ing, Essex, after which time they will be conveyed to Fairmile
Farm.—N. B.The Wool must not be plicked from the Sheep.
Catalogues may be had on and after the 3d of April, at Messrs.
Gibbs and Co. Seedemen„ corner of Half-Moon-street, Pica.-
dilly ' - at the Bars of the Post-Houses of the following Towns

A Combiission of artillery officers has been, for
loin time past, emil9Yed at Vinceninesio experiments
respecting the Conpeve rockets.• All their:researches,.
with regard to the ilisnlensions, tbeitomposition, and
the means of discharging them, have been mast suc-
cessful. The trial of these rockets was made in the
plain of Alfort, in.ille presenceof Count Laribeissere,
General of Artillery, and Messieurs Uuytottrde Mor-.
veau, lklonge, and kerthollett. The first rocket let
off went 800 toises, (the second 1,200, arnl
.the third
' 1,300: Such a result certainly could not have been
expected from a first auempt. Still it is not sufficient.
It is known that the Cengreve rockets go the-length
of 1,700 or even 1,800 tomes. Hit Majesty has ex:
pressed his satisfaction with the proceeding of the.
CoinmisSion, and assured them, that he would per-
sonally attend their experiments as soon as they are
certain Of being able to throw rocket to the dis-
tance of I,boo wises.
