The Ror•t. FAMILY honoured the Earl and Countess of ESSEX with their company on Friday, at their beautiful seat, Cashiobury Park, in Hens. His MaJesry, accompanied.by the QULLM, in his travelling chaise, Jeft Windsor at an early hour, escorted by a patty of the O&M Blues. They were followed by the five PR/I/CLUES and attend ants, in two coaches, and the Duke of CASIBRIDOL in his own carriage. The town of Watford was all life and bustle: the bell zinging, the flag hoisted at the church, and the windows filled with people, expelling His MAjesry would pass that way; but, to their great disappointment, the Royal Party went by Rickmanswurth, and arrived at Cashiobury House at half past eleven o'clock ; on their anival they were received by the Earl and Countess and Dowager Countess of Essex, Viscountess Caarri.ev, Lord ST. HELEN'S, Cal. RUSSELL, and several other persons of rank and fashion, who were upon a visit at that elegant and hospitable teat. The Royal Visitors entered the house through the three cloisters, the floors of which were covered with crimson cloth. They seemed much pleased with this interesting gothic struffine, and the stain ed glass in the windows, representing the arms of the family, and other devices. A most sumptuous breakfast was laid out in the dining room—a most magnificent apartment, commanding a full view of the park ; it is supported by tiro massy oak pillars, beautifully varnished, and is hung with some admi rable portraits, including a George the Second, and a Queen Caroline. Four curious marble slabs, with antique supporters, are among the iticat't admired ornaments in this room. After breakfast the Royal Party, and the rest of the company, proceeded to view the various apartments of this superb mansion. Passing from the dining-room through a vestibule, the cieling of which is painted in imitation of varie gated marble, with curious carved flowers suspended along the pannels, they entered the great drawing. room, which is of a superior order of taste and map'. ficence. The ceiling represents a clear sky with a flying eagle in the centre, and a broad moulding all round rf burnished gold. The walls are hung with pug. ple satin, quilled with a white India muslin drapery, looped up with tassels and roses of gold. Four (bony Ca iinets stand at opposite Arles, each adorned at top with a tollellion of miniatures of fi iends and relatives, all executed by the Countess of Essee. The doors are ot satin wood, and the pillars and door eases of burnished gold. The chairs are the same as the hangings of the room with bronze feet. window curtains are white India muslin. They next visited the Library, in which they remained a considerable time. It consists of tro apartments The first, besides a most valuable collection of books, co:stains a great variety of beautiful paint ings. Among the curiosities of the second is a complete aviary, the birds all of carved wood. Ad. joininrhis is the Chinese room, hung with Chinese paintings, and a beautiful lamp of stained glass suspended from the centre, with tight glas s hells at the top, which, when lighte.f, peodace the effea cf variegated lamps. Every thing in this 103/11 is so completely Chinese, the Emperor of Cut Si • might mistake it far one of his own apartments. His MA aesr r spent a considerable time in admiring the cu riosities of this apartment ; and; at four o'clock, the Royal Groupe returned to the dining-roan, where a sumptuous dinner was laid out in a magni. cent stale. The company consisted of His MA TT, Her M•JESTY, the Princesses AL:GI:STA, ELI. raaLrir, M•av, Soeuta, and AM/ILIA, the Duhe of CAMSRIDGE, Marchioness of lights, Dowager Countess of Essex, Viscountess Ca sneer, Lead Sr II canes, Hon. Col. Russets, Rev. W. flos sed., Mr. and Mrs. Victim, Mr. and Mrs. Di. MEN, Mr. and Mrs. S r Atmore. After dinner, the comaany retired to the second drawing-room; beautiful apartment, hang with crimson damask,with gold moulding.. The chairs and tables were also of burnished gold, and everyother ornament so brilliant, the eye was dazzled with its splendour. The furious storm experienced in London, on Friday, extended to Cashinbury Park, and prevented the Royal Visitors ft an walking out and viewing the various interesting and picturescrie seeneswhich it preselits.At sixo'clock the Roy •t. PARTY took leave of their noble host and hostess - and monied to ‘Vindsor, where they ar rived at eight o'clock. The bells were rung, and every other demonstration of loyalty and joy was exhibited at UlbrisLre„ and the other towns and vil lages through which they passed. A great num ber of the inhabitants in the neighbourhood of Cashiobury Parr croudeJ to the happy spot, and par took of its hospitalities.—The Royal Family, and May Me noble HOLT( of Casheoberu floari,k for forr, were drank in many a bumper. Among the stores in his Lordship's cellar, which co:ln:bated to the festivity of the day, was a vat containing twelve hogsheads of beer, with the foilowing inscription : "OLD ENGLISH IiOsPIIALITY. No vomit, nu wadi ‘' lirrwed 15th Pa . /miry 19 Every person in the vicinity of Cashiobury Park, who visited it on Friday, partook of the contents of this bountiful cask.

'Those are greatly heightened by the admirable Music, Songs, and Chorusses, which accompany them. The whole of this Produaion proves highly attractive, and is accompanied by other Entertainments of much merit; particularly the vocal exertions, and Concerto on tt:e Piano Forte, of that surprising child, Miss Felton, and the feats of that very superior Equestrian, MA[CEN. On Thursday last, five of the unfortunate convids, doomed by the laws of their country to serve on hoard the Hulks at Woolwicis,endeavusire4 to ma k e their escare in a boat, and got a great distance from the ship before they were discovered. They were, however, at last pursued, and not sorrendering when called to. were filed at. Two of them were shot dead, and another was •cs much wounded, that he died i 0 a few hours. The other too ware taken unhurt. .. NOLEHAM ANNUAL SHEEP-SHEARING Commenced on Monday last, and was attended by his Grace the Duke of Bedford; Lord William Russell, Earl Winehelsea, Messrs.' Montagu, Bur goyne, Motteux, Moore, Greggs, Toilet, Bell, Air ley, Buckley, Postle, Cripps, Becher, Bentitack, Muskett, and other breeders and agriculturists. The business commenced by viewing two drill machines at work, which deposited rape cake re duced to powder, and tarnip-seed in the same drills, by this plan one ton of rape cake will manure from five to six acres. The company then went to Long lands, where a large party of farmers, &c. were as sembled. Here M. ,Ball's four-horse, and also a two-horse, thrashing machine were exhibited at work, the prize Boars and Rams examined, and the Leicester 'Pups shewn. About three, a very large party retired to the Hall, and were entertained at dinner with the ac customed hospitality of their much honoured and highly respeetablehost. After dinner, Mr.Cuke gave "The KING;" "A fine Fleece, and fat Carcase ;• " Small in size, and great in value;' And other appropriate toasts. At six, the company rose, and returned to Longlands, when the Luices ter tups were let at from 10 to .50 guineas each. Three pens of Leicester ewes, 5 each, were sold at 16 guineas, 20 guineas, and 25 guineas; and thus the business of the day concluded. On Tuesday morning, an improved NOrfolk Plough, invented by Mr. Balls, of Holt, was shewn at work. The Rev. Thomas Crowe Munnings had previously exhibited to tht party at the Hall, a very neat and ingenious model of a dibbling machine, made by a young man in the neighbourhood. The company, on their arrival at Longlands, met a much larger party than on the preceding day. Af ter viewing the clipping, the company proceeded to witness the operation of a mowing -machine, in vented by Mr Burrell, of Thetford ; the extreme wetness of the grass was unfavourable to this expe riment ; but, from the elle& then shewn, it was be -1 hived, by some present, that this machine, with ' very few improvements, might be made to execute its work in a manner superior to the scythe, and very expeditiously. The prize we:hers and theaves were now examin ed, and South Down tups shewn. The party having been eritettained at dinner as on the Monday, retired about six to the 4ieep houses and yard, where ten pens of South Down ewes, of revs each, were sold at from 20 to J 1 guineas each. They then mounted their horses, &c. and rode to Longlands, where the South Down tups were let at from t 5 to 40 guineas each, and thus ended the business of this day. Wednesday morning commenced with a view of the fat carcases of the slaughter-house. A three shear Leicestr;r wether of Mr. Coke's, weighed I 3 it. lib.; and the following prize sheep,viz. Mr, Money's Leicester w•ether, 9st 1311) —Mr. Paisley's ditto, Ist. Illb.--Mr. Purdy's Down, Bst. 131b.—Mr. George's ditto, 8.,t. 1211;1.—Mr. Blyth's ditto, 9st. tub. Oa the an ival of the party at Longlands, a :,cuffler was exhibited by Mr. Clark, and a drill on a very improved principle, by Mess. Wilson and ;itandidr. of Lynn; this machine deposited rape dust and turnip•seed in a very complete and regular manner, the crantity of which, as well as cf seed corn, is regulated by a screw inclosed in a box, which being locked, the man who works the machine can make no abet ation. After the trial of these experiments, the company returned to Mr. Wrignt's barn, when Mr. Rail's Tiinishing M whine, which on the preceding day had wheat cnly to thrash, was now tlied on a load of barley. The thrashing of this grain being par ticularly interesting to the Norfolk Gentlemen, they were highly .gratified with seeing it done so clean and fast. A Thrashing Machine in the same barn, eretrted by Mr. Wigful, also thrashed some wheat, but no barley. Alter dinner this day, the prize cups were placed Mr. Coke, • on the table before . who having given " The King." and one n two other toasts, proceeded to inform the company of the adjudication of the prizes. The prize for the best. Leicester wether was delivered to Mr. Charles Money ; that for the best South Down to Mr. George, of Dunstan, oa delivering of which Mr. Coke expressed great SA tisfation that one at least of the prizes was going into East Norfolk ' • Mr. Blyth received the prize fur the second South Down wether; Mr. Buckley for the best Leicester tup ; and Mr. Overman for the best South Down top ; Mr. Oakes for the best boar ; Mr. Reeve for having irrigated the greatest quantity of meadow, and in the best manner. A sweepstakes had been made the day before to estimate the weight of Mr. Coke's three-shear Lei cester wether, which Mr. Coke declared to have been won by Lord Winchelsea, his estimate beii the nearest, viz. within half a pound of the actual weight. The company now retired to the cow houses, where the long-horned cattle of Mr. Fuller's bleed were sold, the yearlings at from 7 to 13k gs. two-year olds, from 7i to 161 gs. Cows, with Calves by their sides, at from 171 to 37 gs. Cows, not in mix., at from 7to 34 gs. a four-year old Bull at 34 gs. and a two-year old do. Al 11; gs. a yearling Devonshire Bull was also sold for 8 gs. The com pany, with the exception of a few tele& friends, now dispersed, highly delighted with this enter taining and instruditive agricultural treat, and the reception they bad met with from their venerated host. Mr. Cook, of -, near Aylsham. exhibited at the I fall, a model of his thrashing mill, which was much approved. Mr. Toilet, of Staffordshire, chewed two Merino rains, the wool of which was exquisitely fine. He also shewed a three-year old wether, of the crass between the Merino and South-1)4;m, which had never been shorn ; this sheep had retained ks wool, which, though very fine, was of great length ; but it was the opinion of some eminent gentlemen present, in the wool trade, that its great length rendered it unfit for the purposes to which fine wool was usually applied, and that therefore it was worth less per lb. or todd, than If it were short• ar. It seemed to be the prevailing opinion, that anti wool would this year be worth SI. 10s. per todsl, some indeed talked of even a higher price. A three-year old Leicester, bred by Mr. Coke. was killed by Mr. E. Kett, of Norwich, aid is now exhibiting by him, at home; it is allowed by every one to be the largest and fittest ever seen in this country; each quote weighed 4511 b.

COURT OF KING . .i.BENCII, %Val-rut:wren. Just ;9. JUnCE JoIiNISTUNIE. The plea and demurer in the Case of Mr.Justicp Johnstone came on to be argued in the Court of King's-Bench. Mr. A gaol., on the part of the prosecution stated, that the indiftment was tot writing. composing, printing. and publishing in the County of Middlesex, a libel upon the Lord-Lieutenant and Government of Ireland, to which the Defendant had pleaded the non-jurisdiCtion of the Court to try the anion. lie contended, the plea was had upon three grounds; first, the Defendant had not shewn upon his plea, that there was another Court of more competent jurisdi&ion to try the cause; secondly. that the cause of aelion did not arise out of the • ordinary jurisdiction of the Court ; and lastly, as to the person himself, it could not he contended, that being a native of Ireland, he was not a subject of Great Britain. and t!crefore amenable to the laws of this kingdom, in relation to crimes committed here. Mr. RicuAILTISON, for the Defendant, cos that tho plea was good, on the grounds that in to make a person liable to the laws of the county „ he must be a resident in it, and under ha protection. I to held this upon the principle that the defendant was to be considered in the light of a foreigner who was not punishable for an aft committed in this kingdom. while he was resident in his own. Fie concluded by uls•erving, that the Honourable Gentleman whom he represented, did not argue this case, in order to shrink from investigation ; but for the purpose of having the case tried in Ireland. as he was resident in that country all the time of the transaftion, and had a multitude of witnesses resident there, to esta blish his high and honourable charter. lie had no means to sustain his innocence in this country, and the expence would, in the end, be more ruinous to him than any punishment which could be initiaed in case of convißicn. Lord Et tau at:mouton asked, was there no crime which might be committed against the King's Crown and dignity in Ireland, Which the Courts of this country had not proper jurisdtetion over. Mr. Justice LAU, lINCZ observed, that upon the principles on which Mr. Richardson argued the case, a man resid-nt in Ireland might cause any crime he pleased to be committed with imptinity in this kingdom. It ought as well, he said, in the Case of a man in Scotland. he might s:.oot as many men as he pleased from the other side of the Tweed, and not be punishable/al Engtand. The Court deferred judgment to a future Jay. The Static! roa Greta/it. then J/Iti, that per. haps the Ca:Art were not aware of the consequeucea of deferring their Lordships' judgment.
