visited Norfolk, and never was he more happy; never was care more completely banished front his mind, than when he came into th,s county. —(Applause.) " The High Sheriff of the County." " The Mayor, and Prosperity to the City of Norwich." " The Town of Yarmouth—may it maintain its present Independence." " The Mayor, and Prosperity to the Town of Lynn." Mr. Coke 'hen said, that he had to propose the health of a Nobleman, whom on every account he valued and loved. lie was also valued and loved by all who knew him, but on this occasion he should speak of him only as a farmer. The Noble Lord bad con verted a oarren heath into productive fields, and it would scarcely be credited, except by those who hnl seen it, I' what miserable laud he (Mr. C.) had latelv seen the most luxuriant crops produced. He sl hi propose the health of the Earl of Albemarle. (Shouts of Applause.) Lord ALNEMARLE said, it was in vain for him to attempt to express his feelings, at the mintier in which his health hid been received. His friend Mr. Coke had been pleased to compliment him as a firmer, and he belizived he !night say that his farm was worth seeing. There never was a in which it was inure important, to see what laud was capable of prudes ing. 'Vital, les son might be learnt at Holklrain, btu, without any vanity, he might still say that Isis farm did in some degree merit the encomium which Mr. Coke had passed upon it. And there was no vanity in his saying so, for however much he loved farming, the merit was chtellv due to Mr. Colson his bailiff. The crops to which Mr Coke had alluded might, and he hoped it would induce some of the company to come and see it. Never was he more happy than when his friends and neighbours in the county would visit him, and he need not say that those stringers who had visited Holkham, would be most welcome to Quidenham. Mr. Corte then proposed the health of Lord Erskine. Be thought to no mats did the nation owe more grati tude than to his Noble Friend. As a farmer certainly he had been a little mistaken. He had taken a field of wheat for a crop of lavender—(Laughter)—and he had been an advocate for Merino Sueep; but he hoped lie had profited by experience, and learned at this visit to know wheat when he saw it, and to abandon his opinion of Merinos. Lord basame said, that he presumed, as his friend Mr. Coke was made an advocate for rotation in husband ry, he was also an advocate for rotation in toasts ; so that after having given the health of so distinguished a farmer as Lord Albemarle, he chose to descend to one who did not know wheat from lavender. (A laugh.)— But if he was not able to appreciate all Mr. Coke's ex cellencies as a farmer, lie could see, and could admire what he hail done for the people in his neighbourhood. He had set n that which was pronounced as a curse, turned into a blessing. The first man had been placed in the most productive soil, and what was the conse quence ? the devil soon tempted him to sin. And so it had been with the idle ever since. Labour was in fact a blessing to mankind. His friend Mr. Coke had had charged him with mistaking wheat for lavender; now all he could say in excuse was, that he had never before seen wheat which had been drilled, and as drilling made a wonderful change in a man, so he apprehended it might in wheat. (A laugh.) The Duke of SUSSEX proposed the health of Mr. Coke.—(Long continued and loud applauses and cheers.) Mr. Cost!. said that he felt most sensibly the manner in which his health had been received. This was to him on every account the pleasantest season of the year. To see this meeting increase in numbers, and to witness the appearance of gentlemen from almost every county in the island, assured hint that some good must hase been effected by it. This had proved a source of iii h gratification to him, and made him hope that his jour ney through life had beets of some advaittap,c to his fel low creatures.—(Loud applauses.)--He should now propose the health of a very and valued friend. " Mr. Camel), the Member for Cumberland." Mr. Co RMEN said that it was highly flattering to him to have such a tribute of respset horn their worthy host. There was no man whose good opinion he more desired than that of Mr. Coke. lie believed he was one of the of the olde-t visitors at Hulk ham. It was near s!► years since he had first visited this spot, and it was then little more than a rabbit warren. He need not say what it now was—they had but to I round on every sid e , and plenty and beauty adorned the face of she earth. Sir, (said Mr. Corwen) I envy you nut the splendour of this mansion, great and itlor;otis as they are, but I do envy that power which you possess of diffusing happiness and comfort around you. The gifts of Providence are in your hands blessings, ate! most sincerely do I wish that every great man could come here and learn, the true value and the true eej.iy. 'mot of wealth." " The independent Yeomanry of the Couuty."— " Mr. Child, of Shropshire." " 3lr. Foster, of Bedfordshire." " The Doke of Bedford." " ir HoNte." " General ‘Valpole." " Archdeacon Bathurst, and the Clergy of the Dio cese." " Mr. Windham, of 11 iltshire." " Mr. " Alderman Fuller.' SECOND DAY. On Tuesday morninctl;Je tv.ls a very cons;derahle secession of visitors, and at I I ti clock a numerous ca valcade of horsemen and carriages set off to visit Mr. Coke's farm. The stock were inspected in the course of the ride, among which we observed some beJoitifoil specimens of the Devon Ox, and a noble Scot, bred by Mr. Muskett of lootwood. The implements were after wards viewed, boot there was nothing part icoolao ly worth notice in them. At three o'clock the (*Morin) , aglin assembled to dinner in the number of thallY, (we can not guess how many) hundreds. After the cloth was removed, Mr. Coke gave THE NATIONAL REGISTER " The Marquis of Downshire." " Lord Lynmloch." " The Kirk of Scotland." " The Independent Yeomanry of Norfolk." " The Ye-mil:tory of those Comaies who have honoured this inectin4 with their presence." Lord Waterpark. Loxu %VATEMPARK said, that he had for 20 years pcid some attention to farming, hut he never till now am farming in its perfection. No wonder that a man who had done so much for the county as Mr. Coke should he so beloved and respected, and, as far as his experience went, he might say that he w.is as much forked tip to even in other parts of the Kingdom as in Norfolk. " timull iu size, and great in ♦alue." " The memory of that Lord Townshund, who first intro duced the culture of the turnip iu Norfolk."—(liy General IValpole.) " The Marquis of Lansdowne." " Sir John Sinclair." Lord Attietetisß LE proposed the health of Lord Anson. Lord ANSON said that young as he was, he could lay no claim to the notice of the meeting as au agriculnirisi, it was true that he loved ag•iculttire and hoped to im prove in the knowledge and practice of it, but lie must consider the manner in which his health had been re ceived as a fresh proof of the regard of the men of Nor folk his revered and honoured relative.—(Applause.) " Mr. Witham Coke."—(By the Duke of Swum) Mr. W. Cole returned thanks. " The Earl of Albemarle." . Lord ALSENAHLIS Said, I know not how it is with others, but wilt reg.aril to myself, when at the table of inv worthy friend, I ainieipaie the probability of his _,icing toy 11,faliii, I endeavour to put together a few sen tences by way of returning thanks, but I find that he has a wooderfol fancy tor overturning the fabric which i have endeavoured to erect, and fur Ic wing ane to floun der tiirnoii a speech wilhnut having any thing to say. —(l.atrAllier.)—l alt something to the situation of Dr. Purgaute, in Prior'a Tale, who 1,4 " But had not always wlierew it hal." Now I certainly have not wherewithal in express half what I feel of respect and affection !Or you, Sir, for the way iu which you hare now been pleased to speak of me, and for the many proofs of confidence and regard which I have received from you, now to COM ry my sense of gratitude to the freeholders of Norfolk—fOr the expression of these feelings I frankly coolest that I have not " wherewithal." taut coming here to contribute my mite, if not in the instruction, at least to the convi iality ni the meeting, I am anxious to do so, whether the laugh he against me or with me. " The Ladies of litilkham."—(hy the high Sheriff.) " Mr. Milli ps."—( M. P. for Wootton Bassett.) Mr. PHILLIPS returned thanks. " The Duke of Sussex."—( Long continued cheers.) His Royal Highness said—" The handsome manner in which ow worthy friend has proposed my health, and the vety warm and Cordial way in which you gen tlemen have received it, have made a Joel) impression upon me. 1 have listened with great interest, and 1 hope with some improvement to what 1 have heard on this occasion. To me the scene is as novel, as it is grati fying, 1 can therefore only give my opinion as a general well-wisher to the prosperity of agriculture, and it is quite impossible that such meetings as these can take place without leading to the most beneficial results--results equally honourable to Mr. Coke and beneficial to the country at large. " Lung may the Rose, the Thistle, and the Shamrock, entwine rouit4l the Oak of Old Engiautl." The company then retired. THIRD DAT. The morning of this day was Occupied in visiting and inspecting the carcases of the Vether Sheep, at the slaughter-house in the liaßyard, and in visiting the farms of Mr. Blonotield, and Mr. Moore, at NVarliain. The ploii,4liina match for the prize also took place.— Almon three o'clock the Sallie number as on the pre -ciling day sat down to dinner ; after which, the coin piny toned with Mr. Coke, to witness the distribution of pinks. Extract from the late Mr. Grattan's will:—" I have n reversion in fee, in my Queen's County estate, and Vail my children die without issue, living at the time of their death, I leave the said estate back to the public—that is to say. to the following great officers fur the ticle being :—The Provost of Dublin College, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, the Bishop of Dublin, and Judge Day, in trust, to thrm a foundation for the annual support of unprovided Gentlewomen, daughters of poor and meritorious Citizens of Dublin, according to such rules and regulations as they shall plan and devise." ExEetirtoN.—On Wednesday morning William Paling, John Robinson, and William Henry Stan ford, for uttering forged notes; Henry Hawkins, for a burglary, under aggravated circumstances; William Arnold (a soldier), for extorting money upon the highway ; and William Saunders, for horse-stealing, forfeited their lives to the outraged laws of their country, at the usual place of execution in the Old Bailey, in the presence of a comparatively small number of spectators. On *fhursday last, a cow, the property of Mr. Bowing, of Kingston Farm, near Dorchester, brought forth t h ur fu timed calves ; three of them died in a short time the other, with the cow, which was reduced toAtatreme weakness, is likely to live.
