The company was very numerous, and, 
besides the purchasers, a great number of dis» 
tinguished amateurs were present. Onsome 
particular lots the bidding was-very eager. 
The sheep were in very good’condition, and 
much credit is due to Mr. Smart for the great 
improvement of his Majesty’s Merino flock. 
—The amateurs were much pleased on exe 
amining a twin ewe and wether, two years 
old, out of a Somerset ewe, by a Merinoram, 
which were very straight, and in most. points 
quite Complete,’ and which appeared very 
much: inclined to fatten. A one-year old 
ewe, out of the ahave half-hred Somerset, by 
a Merino ram, attracted much notice, as the 
shape was very much improved, and the qua- 
lity of the wool but little inferior to the true 
Merino.
