interest by the lovers Of the turf and the admirers Of the
noble animal which contributes greatly to the comfort
pleasure and enjoyment of man. and renders such mpor
tan service in its practical relations The nssocia
ton which has undertaken the great labor and expense
attendant upon this exhibition has interest the

character of this valuable domestic animal and by the
encouragement which may be derived from witnessing
the results Of perseverng and successful exertions s-
muate others who have heretofore made but feeble efforts
The proofs already abundant Of the practical results
arising from public exhibitions leave doubt Of the adj
vantages which must flow from the exhibition at Spring
field and these results must have very important bear
ing in widening the influence Of that National Association
which early gives proof Of it's energy and its claims
upon the public support. The stated premiums amount
about 81 COO in addition which the committee pro-
mise liberal Of money, with Medals and Diplomas,

GREAT BRITAIN, SPAIN, AND THE SLAVE TRADE.

Several interesting documents in relation to the Slave
Trade and the policy that has been pursued by Great
Britain and spain have recently been submitted to the
British Parliament From OF these the Cincinnati
Gazette has condensed the following facts
l. Twenty-sx treaties between England and other civil
lied nations besides sixty FIVE with native African chiefs,
indicates the Of England in her established
policy Of putting end to the slave trade.
g. The number OF slaves imported into Brazil in def
Of treaty stpuatons amounted in lS4S TO 60 000
The last year the whole number imported but 700
s. The profits Of the trade enormous. Eight hun
dred per cent. has often been been made.
T. Great publicity exists to the carrying of the
slave trade in Cuba slave vessels have been fitted out
under the guns Of Spanish ships Of great facilities
afforded to the importation Of negroes as when
landing is effected they considered natives and
steam vessels employed carrying the Government mails
from port to port, have been used to land slaves.
s. The American dag is greatly abused in the slave
trade and the cordial cooperation Of the American
Government would materially assist in the adjustment
Of the traffic
The slave trade has increased or decreased in Cuba
according to the conduct OF the Captain General and
other public officers and it is notorious Havana that
money is taken by public officers Of oil ranks, from the
Captain General downward for their conniyance &C the
traffic and further that capital VIGOROUSLY belonging
to Spaniars of great distinction at Madrid employ
ed to carry that traffic
10 The opinion is expressed that history does not re-
cord more decided breach Of national honor than cs
tabshed against Spain.
H. Great significance is attached to the remark Of Mr.
Everett then Secretary Of State that there pros
pect OF the slave trade being suppressed while Cuba was
retained by Spain.
H. The effect Of tho presence OF naval force on the
African coast has been good which must be continued
and even increased as long Cuba admits slaves from
Africa
Is England has paid, principal and interest, nearly
fourteen millions of dollars Portugal to compensate
any losses that might result from her prohibition Of the
traffic.
