Agricultural Meeting, Lord SOMERVILLE produced several pieces of cloth made front the wool of his own improved breed of sheep, which unequivocally established the important fact that Englisli wool is equal to the finest Spanish . The Meeting resolved.upon instituting a chemical laboratory, :as. illustrative and highly' benefieial to rural economy: The show of cattle this year was comprised of such as were more calculated to enrich the table and sustain life, than for the dripping pan or chandler's shop. The• medicinal stores at .

BLACKWOOD, of the Euryaius, had delivered to, the Lords of the Admiralty the Jack, &c. of the French ship L'Aigle. A letter from an Officer. of the DOince states that account to be erro. neous: •The tollowing is an Extract.from the Letter beg leave to inform you that L'Aigle struck to -the Affittpwe that Lieut. ammo . most gallantly boarded her, hauled down her colours, wnich he brought, partly lashed round his body, into this' Ship, and then returned to L'Aigle in' aid of the boarders, and *as unfortunately. shot on Viler pooli. The Pviante stuck 'to L'Aii,rle for some d a y s a tt er the actiOn, and remained with her so near the share as to endanger her own• safety; and el thOugh • was considered in, a situation eminently perilous, yet the Pdiatire was ,obliged to leav© on boardef her a Lientenant (named PURCIIER) and about fourteen of. her' people, who were wrecked in her, but who, I ern happy to say, were saved. The Ensign, /xis, and Pendant of, L'Aigle, were sent to the • Lords Ccitnmissieners of the Admiralty by Captain Dun n AM." • Tug °Pitt( account of the indisposition of GIIASINA a . the C9lllle Opera of La Cosa Tara was represented on Saturday night, at the King's*Theatre., This ()Pep, W leb .- 0011 t a inzi some of the hest ,music MARTiNI ever composed, .was very pppuiar lest sea. • son, and it was so well performed on Saturday that its: par:36llon is not likely to subside.

We have great satisfaalion, in being able to state that Mr. PHILLIPS, the Publisher, who lost several valuable Works in the late destruction of the Print- Mg-office of Mr. GILLETT, was insured for a stun which will indemnifrhim from serious loss.

Those works are all re-printing with a degree of dispatch which is chara&eristic of the known energy of their Proprietor, insomuch thin ne)v editions of some of them may be expe6ted to be ready in ten days or a fertnight. The losS orate new types, cast on pur pose for 'Dr. Ganootty's new CyClOpg!dia, must, however, occasion one month's delay it the appear : . ance ufthat work. • It is singular, that at the time. of the fire at Mr. Hamilton's, the Printer, in Fleet-street, about two years age, a very valuable pnblication, entitled, `Atiacbarsis's - Travels," had been completed, witA, the exception of a single sheet ; the. whole edition was consumed. :This work was Afterwards given to Mr. Giilet ' to print,, and .he had adually finished it all but two sheets, when the unfmunate accident of litirsday night, in: like thanucr, destroyed every copy.

An old Lady, at - a village in Surrey, was last week defrauded out of rive guineas, nnder the following curious circumstances : A servant who had lived with her in her husband's lifetime called on her on Friday sennight,• and, after a long pretce of a very important secret, informed her that her band bad buried a large , pot of money in the 'church ' yard ; that be ,knew . the. spot ; but that as another persOn was concerned, some rnoney must be ad-, Vanced. Three guineas were paid th em b y t h e credulous old'Lady, and two 'guineas more on the Monday evening, when the party went to dig for the precious deposit; it WAS soon found in a pot such as honey is usually put in, and appeared to weigh about seven pounds. On turning it up, the coin chinked in it, to the Lady'S great delight '; but 'on her getting it h ome and breaking it open, about twenty new .halfpence were foond in it, the rest was only mould. Her disappointment - and mortiti- . Cation are easier conceived than described.
