A great stancher of notices of nericaltuial works, lately published, and other timings interesting to Farmers, were stuck up.

As soon u the - cloth was withdrawn, his Lord. slip rose, and gave " The King ;" and, after lamenting the absence, from indisposition, of a distinguisheJ supporter of this show, gave, " The Dake of Bedford." " A .fine fleece covering a good frame of fat." After which his Lordship informed them,. that the mutton, which they had eaten of, was from his own Merino flock; and, we may add, that finer mutton was nerd,. set on a. table. Ms Lordship neat gave, " Sir Jolts dinclair," whe, after some time, returned thanks, and expressed his wishes for the speedy recovery I of the Duke of Bedford's health. •-• The Marquis of He wane rose, and proposed, " Lord Somerville ) and mm/ he long cnjok breeding in all its branches," which was much applauded. Ifis Lords)tip then rose, and read the award of the Rev. Bate Dudley, Mr. George Smalipiece, Mr. Hardwick, Mr. Joseph Prentice, and Mr, Garment, the five Gentlemen appointed Judges of the Show. To Mr. John Terre, two elegant silver cups, as the breeder and ns the grazier of two Hereford oxen. To the Mike of Bedford. two cups, :It the breeder and the grazier of two French and Devon oxen.

To Mr. John Boys, for his South-down ewe-hogs. at the delivery of which, his Lordship complimented Mr. B. on the great oerfection of those ne showed lest year, though not with the necessary attention to certificates. Mr. Farticonsb's etve--hogs were stated to be disqualified, through informality: The Rev. James Willis. esperiment of five different Me rlon crown& was mentioned with commendation by the Judges. To Mr. George Dodd, a cal& for his Essex and Saidk batrow pig. .4 in Besides the abovensvarded prism, his Lorilip presented— . . Mr. John Thorpe wilts a cap, fee his Merino and lON* down %strewn. although they. were not quite truly bred.

Jenhiorno, a rep, for his pen of Merino-Ryland evre , hogs, which were not in preparation for this show 14 days ago. His Lordship then read the Judges' award rco specting shepherds, which stated, That John'iloUand, the Duke of Bedford's flitik:down shepherd, hail, from WI ewes put to the rain, raised 9tY2 nr 149 per cent.; mad Charles Payne, Mr. John Ell inatt's South-down shepherd, from 596 ewes tapt, ralatd Bill lambs, or IJS per cent. who were the successful candidates, although others had great merit. leis Lordship then gave " The Judges of the Sho:v," " Breeding in all its branches," and pro.. cecded to explain the alterations made in his bill of premiums, for the next year, fur dividing the British _and Merino crossed sheep into different classes, in confining the pig-premium to breeding sows, and for an additional prise for shepherds raising Merino lambs. These printed bills were then distributed to the company. Loral Somerville then gave, "Mr. Pinckney, the American Minister; and may harmony always prevail, with those who speak the same language," which was draiik with long and loud plaudits. Mr. Pi scsorsir rose, amidst a thunder of ap. 'plause, which, fur some time, presented his say. ing, that, called upon as he was, by the very flattering notice which his Lordship and the No blemen and Gentlemen present had- bestowed on the American States and on himself, he could not do less titan tender his most-grateful and sin. l ccre ackno w ledgments, ()t ithe part of his coon.' try,•asidfor himself individually, and also thank his Lordship for this new proof of the scud. meats of personal friendship .with which he had been so often honoured. " An American Mi. ulster (continued Mr. Pinckney) can claim no merit' to himself in saying, that he most corcliallyi and sincerely joins in the wish. now expressed, for. perpetusfl harmony between his country and Great Britain, since tiro mutual interests ire so strong and apparent Tibia biud the two countries together—interests which are in es instance-ia. compatible, and in most so identic is to render it next to impossible that these ties should be broken. But inteteit (continued Mr. P.), effectual as HI ought IO be in commlinicating a character of steady friendship to our relations, is not the only pledge of harmony between us ; fur thoueand kindly influences, with which calculation has no cancers, combine to form an setillary pledge, little inferior in strength, he should hope, and far superior in moral excellence, he was sure, to the other." Ile concluded by drinking the health of the company, and a burst of applause followed, and •watt longer continued than almost any which we remember to have heard. The Duke of Hedford's premiUms for his sheet). shearing, in June nett, were announced by print. ed bills distributed in the room. his Lordship gave " The Farming Societies ix Ireland, and good husbandmen in England, Scot. land, and IVales ;" 44 Benjamin Hobhouse, and the Bath Agricultural Society." Mr. Itoemouti rose, and after thanking the company for himself and the Society, compliment. ed L',rd Somerville as one of its most itealous and able supporters, and particularly for his 4:tedious fur improving fine wools. His Lordship took this Oppoitniiity of men tioning the mode in which he and ninserous others have disposed of their fine wools for two years past, through Thomas Martin and Co. Jibe nil annually in July, on commission. His Lordship then gave " Mr. Joyce," tad " Mr. Gurteex." . The latter Gentlemen role and expressed his con. fidence in the resources of the country, were agri cultural improvements but followed tip generally, after the example of his Lordahip and others pre sent. HONOURA#LE CAPTAIN LAKE. The following is the most material part of the Evidence laid on the table .of the House of Commons, adduced 'on the Court Martial of Captain LAILI, which was cOnfirmed by sereio rat other witnesses : Mr. EDWARD Sys:sera, late Master of his Majesty); sloop Recruit, called in and worn. • The Judge Advocate asked :—You will be pleased to state to the Court what you know of the charge agairot Captalet Lake?—On the latts.of December 1807 itausding to the earthward, and the island of Sombrero beairing east from the ship, distant from her *hoot a mile and a half (which island, is about five or six leagues from the Dog and Prickly Pear Island, in the West Indies) Captain Late came on decks, and came to the gangway, where I was *Madill& between the hours of five and six in the afternoon, and asked, mitt island is this? I anayered, it was the island of Sombre**. Capt. Lake said, have we not some thieves on board ? To which 1 said said, yes; there are two who have been guilty of theft. Capt. Lake immediately said. send up Jeffery here; the man saint came up. Capt: L rue told him, he "lonia nut keep such a fellow in his strip, and that lie should send him on shore. Capt. Lake afterwards went up to Lieut. Mould, Second Lieutenant, who was carrying on duty at the time, and spoke to him; but I did not hear a hat passed. — In afloat a quarter or half nohour afterwards Captain Lake said, bear a-hand, and land the man, and come eaf. At this time Lieutenant Mould was in the boat astern, as was also Hohert Jeffery, from the time he was called to the gangs ay anal I saw him pass the gangway, to go Into the boat ; he 111 W at that time looking for his Slum, ant. lie. was caned -14k*ge—ini• she boot aver the stern.

The Court ast ed, Was there any water Or provisions fat into the boat that lauded Robert Jetay, for his use? I did not see any $ neither slid 1 hear any ordered. Were his clothes put Into the boat? No, they wer• l ; r :tj I saw them, the next day I think, on board t he Wass in a frock and trainers, not having any hat or Shoes on at the time I saw him. On the following day I dined with Captain Lake, and just as he was rising up to quit the table, Captain Lake said, I wonder how old friend Jeffery Comes on tow; I suppose he is got 'housed by this time. Are there any houses on Sombrero? None. I was on the Island afterwards as 18th day of February, 1808. • I was sent on share by Captain Lake, accompanied by Lieutenant • Moult, tusee if I could see any thing of the man (Jetta , y), and see What sort of an island it was.

Mr. J. MOORE, as Counsel for.the Claimant, itx an able and appropriate speech, stated, that the Hobjeet of the Society watt° provide, a fund for the relief of eick and distressed members, their wi. dows, and children, in the manner, prescribed by . 'the lawl of thaSociety ; and that .1 Ohn Smith!, the , late husband of the claimant, became a member in • Itiouary, 1804, and died on the 7th Nov. 1807. —That under the 18th Article of the Society, the claimant was plearly entitled to an annuity of Moore dwelt with much energy on.. tka true construction of the Articles, and clearly pointed out the widow's right. lie stated it to be a great cruelty. on the part of the Committee, - acting as they did, for a society for, benevolent sod humane purposes, in compelling the claimant to the'dclay and et:pence of an application to the Magistrates; and at a time, too, when they ad. mined themselves possessed of a fund of .e 33,000 stock, not one farthing of which would the claim. ant be entitled to, if she was possessed of any . other property. lie said, that gentlemen who took upon themselves too act on Committees fo r benevolent. purposes, shold not forget the ob. ject for which they Were formed. That by a bye law of the Society itself, passed in 1808., and-oree since acted upon, the Society had clearly putt the saitio construction on the Rules as he .bpd dune.
