Mr. Riley, in addition lo his pamphlet, has also presented us with two beautiful lithographic prints—one taken from a drawing made by himself in this colony, of the "prize Ram and ewe, exhibited at Parramatta, October, 1828, before the Agricultural Society of New South Wales, from the Electoral flocks of Raby," and for which the two gold medals were awarded—the other a print of the celebrated entire race horse, Skeleton, which he has imported into the colony. These prints lie upon our table, for the inspection of any respectable person ; and we can assure such, that they are well worth viewing, were it only to witness the high state of perfection at which lithographic engraving has arrived in London. We had nearly omitted to state, that the Angora goats are depasturing at Woolloomooloo, where they may be seen by the public to-day only, as it is intended to proceed with them on the journey to Raby this evening. [Sydney Gazette, 24 November 1832, page 2, column 4].
