A New race on cattle.

--M. Dutrone, one of the most distinguished cattle breeders of France, has succeeded, after twenty years trial, in producing a bovine race without horns, which carried the first prize at the great cattle show of Poissyin, in 1854. A cow of this species, which had been raised on the farm of the King of Belgium, at Lacken, near Brussels, was killed lately in the latter town, in the presence of the professors of the veterinary school, and the surveyors of the public slaughter-house. The report of these gentlemen confirms the fact that the quantity both of suet and meat was much more considerable than that of the ordinary cattle. M. Dutrone ordered that one half of the cow be sent to Ghent, to be sold for the benefit of the much suffering poor of that town.
