England Agricultural Meeting for its specml prize, and 
Sed at the head of this article. It is called the Ver- 
Turnip Cutter and Coot Shear, and is the invention 
of Messrs Kenly and Co, of Oxford-street. It was com-

ticular regretting that they could not give » double prize 
including the cylindrical application of the patent. It

The present West of England Agricultural Meeting at 
Bath went off with great spirit, though the competition 
was neither so prominent nor satisfactory w on some 
former occasions. The steam-engines stood their trial 
well but the reaping-machines rlid not come up to the 
mark Mr. Amos, the consulting engineer, expressed 
himself highly gratified by the display ; but the greatest 
feature, after all, was the cattle, and in this all that could 
be desired was achieved. There were manufactures from 
all parts of the kingdom, with machines of all sorts and 
qualities. Lord Portman presided at the dinner, sur- 
rounded by the elite of the « Beautiful West. 
THE CATTLE TRAFFIC OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. 
The following is a summary of the cattle traffic con- 
ned by the railways of the Uuittd Kingdom for the year 
ending December 31, 1853, compiled by Mr. Or, nandy, 
of the London and North-Western Railway: 
England. — Oxen, 908,537; sheep, 3,502,445; calve* 
160 538 ; pigs, 704.037 : total, 5,335,557 ; amount received 
for carriage, £299,975 16*. 
Irebuid.— Oxen, 104,148 ; sheep, 208,048 ; calves, 17 ,732 ; 
piu*. 223,499 ; total, 553,427 ; amount received for carriage, 
£31 jl*79 18s. 3d. 
Scotland.— Oxen, 180. 6C8 ; sheep, 630. 74o ; calves, 
3,055 ; pigs, 28,022 ; total, 843,090 ; amount received for 
carriage, £30,323 19s. 4d. 
Total— Oxen, 1.253,353; sheep, 4.341,238; calves 
181,925; pigs, 955,558 ; total, 6,732,074 j amount received 
for carriage, £301.479 1 3s. 7d. 
The want of agricultural statistics for Great Britain 
prevents any comparison being drawn as to wliat propor- 
tion the cattle carried by railway bears to the quantity 
in the country , but a comparison can be made as 
regards Ireland, and the result is as under :— Oxen, 
of all ages, 1 in 25} ; sheep and lambs, 1 iu 13} , 
pigs, 1 in 4 J - , 
Upon reference to the above statement it will be observed 
that although 289,660 more animals were conveyed by the 
Scottish than by the Irish railways, yet tho receipts of the 
latter exceed the former by £850. This is owiug to ths 
peculiarities of the two countries. In Scotland, greut num- 
bers of sheep have to be carried ut exceedingly low rates, in 
order to compete with the common roads, by which lurge 
droves are moved at little costs, whilst in Ireland the stock 
of sheep is comparatively small, the pig being the favourite 
animal, and for the conveyance of which much better rates 
are obtained. We therefore find that whilst 630,000 sheep 
were carried in Scotland, only 208,000 were carried in 
Ireland ; but, on the other hand, whilst Scotland carried only 
28,000 pigs, Ireland carried 223,000. 
The value of the cattle conveyed by tho railways of the 
United Kingdom during the last year may be estimated as 
follows -.—Oxen, £13,786.883; sheep, £0,511,857 ; calves, 
£308,293 ; pigs, £2,868,674 ; total, £23,475,707. 
The Chops in Norfolk. — The wheats continue to look 
well, and barley, beans, and pease promise an abundant 
yield. It is almost impossible to form at present a positive 
opinion as to the prospects of the coming harvest; but, to 
adopt the language of the farmer, the crops have got a 
good start. Warm and dry weather is much needed to 
maintain their present healthy appearance, hut the past 
few days have oeen extremely cold for the season. The 
sowing of turnips is satisfactorily progressing, though in 
some places the extraordinary Quantity of rain during the 
month, four inches, lias impeded that important operation.

Holland, 74s. to 80s. ; Leer, 72s. to 70s.; and French, 70s.

inir to quulity ; and American, 50s. to 54s. Imports were 3,400

there being a larger consumption. Middles are dealt in with 
moro freedom— American, 42s. to 4bs. ; and Irish, 53s. to i 58s. 
Hams aro in greater demand and prices firm Irish at 68s. to

HOPS. 
London, June 15.— The market remains in a lifeless state, 
holders not being disposed to sell unless they can realise such 
high prices as purchasers at this early period of the season think 
it hazardous to submit to. Meantime tho accounts from the 
plantations are very unfavourable, both fly and 
l lie increase, and tho duty keeps fluctuating between 105,0001. 
and 120,0001. To-day it has been done at 115,000/.— 11. A J*
