CATTLE SHOW IN FRANCE. 
The French Commissioner calls the attention of the 
Editors to the prize list of the Fat Cattle Show of Paris, held 
at Poissy. Knowing their endeavours to take advantage of 
every occasion which can afford an increase in the prosperity 
of the English agriculturists, he is confident they will give 
their co-operation in promoting the views intended by 
the French Government, viz., to extend the relationship 
existing between the French and English agriculturists, 
by calling the attention of their readers to the importance of 
the English breeders or feeders entering into the compe- 
tition, and show to France the wonderful animals they 
can produce. 
We have pleasure in complying with the request of the 
French Commissioner by inserting the following particulars : 
International Cattle Show in France, for Fat Stock, to be 
held at Poissy (Cattle Market of Paris, on the Rouen and 
Havre to Paris Railway, ten miles from Paris), on the 
6th, 7th, and 8th of April, 1857. The following classes, 
applicable to Great Britain and Ireland, are extracted from 
the Programme of the Premiums offered by the French 
Government.
