Cattle Snow and Fcrir.-——'I‘he first Cattle
Show__and Fair of the Auxiliary Agricultu-
ral Society took place in this city _ori Wednes-
day last. The exhibition mogethan equalled
our expectations. ‘~'
The number of working cattle present
was 350 pair; all from only four towns, viz:
Pairfield, Trumbull. Huntington and Strat-
ford. The competition among these towns
for the premiums on trains was animated and
interesting. Old Fairfield took the first pre-
‘mium ; her train numbering 150 yokes.—-'-
Stratford took the second: ‘numbering l0l
yokes. The teams from']‘rumbnll and Hun-
tington numbered over 100 yokcs each.-—
Such a string of cattle in yokes we never
_saw before. Among them,were some as fine
well matched and disciplined, as can any
where he produced. A yoke of twins, fotir
years old, belonging to VVm. Brrlkley, Fair-
field, attracted great attention. They were
-the prettiest and best trained pair of cattle
we ever saw.
The nrimber of stock cattle was 130 head.
manv of which were Durham bloods.
Biit few horses were exhibited. There
were also but few sheep and hogs; though
-those exhibited were fine looking, and good
breeds.
The competition on grain was not very
strong. But few specimens of rye and cats
were exhibited. They were all, however,
very fair. On com, the competitors were
more numerous. Several varieties were ex-
hibited, and amon.€1' “Wm “'°"’ °""“e excel"
lent specimens. The quantity to the acre,
ofthose which took the premiums, we have
not heard.
But few specimens of fruit were exhibited.
No winter apples of any kind. There were
however some fine large fall apples.
The specimens of roots and vegetables
comprised the usual varieties; some of which
were very large and nice. In the dairy line
there was considerable competition. The
butter exhibited wris all of the best qtrality.
Cheese, ditto. In the manufacturing depart-
ment, the usual variety of articles were ex-
hibited. A couple of quilted coverlids com-
manded univcrsal admiration. There were
also numerous fancy articles, on which pre-
miums were not ofiiered. Some of the most
beautiful Dahlias we ever saw were exhibit-
ed, embracing every variety of color.
Among the manufactured articles, was a
pair of Burr Mill Stories. made by Wm. Ty-
ack, L'iFayette Factory,New York. They
were pronounced, by competent judges, to be
ofsuperior make and qriality. A premium
was bestowed on them by the discretionary
committee.
Take it all in all, the exhibition was a great
one. It far exceeded the expectations ofthe
nianagcrs. The collection of people was
very great; the house was thronged from
' the commencement to the close.

Destructive Fit e and Loss of Life, at
Liverpool.
Yesterday moriiirrg witnessed the most
awfully desiructive fire, whether as regards
life or property, that has ever taken place in
this loc-ality—more dcstirictive indet d, than
the memorable fire in 1802, which destroyed
the Goree warehouse-s.
It has been ascerttiine-;'l by the brokcr’s
returns, that 37,474 bales of cotton have been
consumed by the coiiflagration of yestr-rday.
which averaging each bale at e-£9_——not a-
bove the mai‘k——gives the enormous sum of
-£337, 266. If to this be added the cost of
warehouses and sheds destroyed, together
with the valuable colonial and foreign pro-
duce consumed therein, the actual destruction
ofproperty by this fearful visitation will, we
fear he found to exceed five hundred thous-
and pounds!
The loss of life, from the peculiar circnni-
stances attending it, can never be satisfacto-
rily 8S(‘.€!1‘l:1ltlt-‘Cl, but we should not be eur-
prised ifincluding the unfortunate persons at
prrsent in the North:-r_n Hospital, and those
buried beneath the ruins, all traces of whom
will be forever swept away, before the re-
moval of the burning materials —-the number
exceeds thirty.
Under the ruins there are, it is believed.
eighteen to twenty men, and from the darn-
gerous state ofrnany in the hospital, half
that ntiniber, it is feared, will not survive.
In the hospital there are now severiteen
dreadfully mutilated, exclusive of three who
died there yestcrrlay.
Two ofthe engines were smashed, and
we fear a considerable number ofthe firemen
and others were killed. —
The fire was distinctly seen for thirty or
forty miles by vessels working up the chan-
nel, as well as by the guards on the mail
train from Birmingham.
The following items are taken from the news
brought by the Britannia, which arrived at Bos-
ton last week.
Livrsniroon, Oct. 4.—--The American
tarifl has been the chieftopic ofconversation
in mercautil--. circles since our last, both in
England and France, and is coritplnined of
as virtually prohibitive of many important
articles heretofore imported into the United-
States from either country. We have else-
where reported what the French newspapers
say upon the sub_iect. The animadversions
ofthe British press are so strongly indica-
tive of angry political feeling that we think
it brit prudent not to reporttliem. It is qriite
clear that Birrningliarri and other seats of
British manufacture will severely suffer.
The Ashburton treaty has been thetlieme
of much discussion-—-many of the papers af-
firming that this country has the worst ofthe
bargain.
The mission of the Right Honorable
Henry Ellis to Brazil, respecting the near
termination of our commercial treaty with
that country, has attracted considerable atten-
tion. The object is understood to be that of
obtaining a modification, if not an aban-
donment. ofa design of the Brazilian Gov-
ernment to lay heavy import duties upon
British manufactures.
A decided improvement has taken place
in the manufacturing districts of Englanrl.
Many ofthe hands have returned to their
work, but some of them are still discontentecl
and are threatning a more formidablestrike
at it future time.
A change of ministry has taken place in
Portugal. and it new Cabinet has been form-
ed, at the head of which is the Duke of
Terceira.
According to the Custom House returns,
the falling offin the consumption of wines
during the past year varied from 40 to 48
per cent. on different qrialities.
I-Ve'h:ive heard that our military force in
Canada is to be reduced immediately, and
that, should the war of China continue, sev-
eral regiments will proceed from America
to the east.

As the hour of four o'clock approached.

fired almost sirnulta"neously on board" the
North Carolina 74, and in less than t'wo

thought the brig appeared to raise in the cen-
tie and expand, and then a column of spray
appeared in its place, while frtigariients of
spars. planks and ti-iiber were seen floating
about in the most mournful confusion throrrgh
the air, at the height of sixty or ei_1lity feet
from the surface ofthe water‘. In less than
a balfa minute, after the signal was fired
from the North Carolina, all that could he

that orders have been sent up to put the
whole establishment in full blast. They had
rt-ccntly I000 tons of iron in the city of N.

At the Matr:iwan factory 400 hands, it is
stated, have been set to work; and the estab-

employs over 200 persons, is about ‘to go

Calomcl.——'I‘lre fillowing extract is from
the lectures of N. Chapiiiuii, M. D., Proft-s.-
or ofthe University of Pennsylvania, located
in Philadelphia. He thus discoursetli on
the use of calomel: .
‘If you could see what I almost daily see
in my private practice in this city, persons
from the south in the very last stages of
wretched existence emaciated to a skeleton ;
with l.')0ll1lfllfrlt-,‘S of the skull almost
pletely perforated in many places; the nose
half gone, with rotten jaws, ulcerated throats
breaths more pt-stiferous, more intolerable
than poisonous upas. limbs racked with the
pains of the iriquisition, minds as iuibccile as
the puling babe, a grevious burden to them-
selves and a disgusting spectacle to others,
you would exclairri as I h:tvc0ft€n tl0rte,‘Ol
the lamentable want ofscicnce that dictates
abuse of that noxious drug, calomel, iii the,
southern states !’ Gentlemen it is a disgrace-
ful reproacli to the profession of medicine;
it is qtirickery, horrid, un warranted, murder-
orisquaclcery. What merit do gentlemen
ofthe sorith flatter themselves they possess,
in being able to salivate a patient? Can-
not the variest fool in Christendom salivate
-——give calorncl? But I will ask atiother
question. Who isit that can stop the career
of mercriry at will, after he has taken the
reins in his own (l'."Slt‘llt‘llV€ and ungoverrin-
ble hands? He, who for an ordinary cause,
resigns the fate of his patient to mercury, is
a vile enemy to the sick; anti if he is toler-
ably popular, will, in one successful season,
have paved the way for the. business of life;
for he has enough to do ever afterward to
stop the mercurial breach of the constitutions
of his dilapidated patients. He has thrown

The majority of Governor Morehead in
North Carolina over his Loco For-o compet-
itor Mr. lleiiry, is 4,592. This looks very
much like a ‘Detriocratic victory’ as _ the
Loco Focus called the late election in North
Carolina. It is quite true that local causes
enabled'locofocoisrn to elect a small majority
of members ofthe Legislature, but the vote
thrown for Mr. Morehead shows pretty
tiearly the real Whig strength of the State.
The Madi.-onian asks whether the ‘illus-
