The improvement in prices has infused much life and spirit into the farming interest, and advantage has been uni ♦ersally taken of the favourable state of the weather, in the two first months, to for ward the usual agricultural operations.—On the best soils, bean and pea setting (tile drill and dibble becoming annually more general) were successfully finished within the last month. The same of spring-wheat, Talavera or Spanish being the species most in use. The lambing season may be called universally successful. Not so the winter feeding of those who have kept their sheep on wet poachy lands, upon running, spongy, and rotten turnips. In Norfolk, that most profitable practice of storing turnips has prevailed much and commendably of late. Friday, is & * , "4 / 3-7,<- . = * MASONIC NOTICES FOR NEXT WEAL ENGLAND.

ROYAL FREEMASONS' CHARITY FOR FEMALE' CHILDREN AND ORPHANS, &C. The Anniversary of this admirable Institution, formed f(? 1- the purpose of maintaining, clothing, and educating the femo . l ° children and orphans of indigent F reemasons, an d o f p r otect: ing them from the dangers and misfortunes to which distressea young females are too frequently exposed, was celebrated le lfr terday at the Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen -street. Shortly after five o'clock that splendid saloon was crowded principally by members of the Society ; but his Royal High' ness the Duke of SUSSEX, who h a d s i gn ifi e d hi s i nten tion 0 presiding on the occasion, did not enter the Hall till six. His Royal highness was received with the most animated mar" of respect and public affection. He was introduced into the room by Col. TYNE, Provincial Grand Master of the County of Somerset, and a number of the Stewards and other Gentle men. On taking the Chair, The Duke of SUSSEX said that he was extremely sorry a t having delayed the numerous Gentlemen whom he had the pleasure to address. He hoped they would give him credit when he assured them that no private business of his own bad detained him; he was not well, and his time from eight o'clock in the morning, till the moment he had set out to meet them , had, with very little intermission, been occupied.—(Applause' ) —He hoped the company would kindly receive that excuse.- - (Cheers.) After the cloth was removed " Non nobis Domirie," tre 6 sung in very fine style by the professional gentlemen who fa voured the company with their attendance on this occasion. His ROYAL HIGHNESS rose, a nd p ro p ose d th e h ea lth °' " His Majesty the King," with this., times three. The health of hls Majesty was drank in the most enthusiastic manner.--- The other national toasts were then proposed, and disposed of, as usual. Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS, M.P. rose, and proposed th e health of " The Royal Chairman." The presence of that lustrious person necessarily prevented him from paying that tribute to his virtu es w hi c h, if h e followed the inclination 0' his own feelings, he would certainly pay. His Royal High' ness, as a Member of the Royal Family, added lustre even to his exalted station. As a subject, as an Englishman, be was an object of respect to every person who was at All acquainted with his virtues—he was the friend of liberty, the friend, the patron, the advocate of charity (Applause.) —There was not a mar, who heard him that could nut bear evidence to the fact, that in whatever place the name of His Royal Highness was mentioned, it was re ceived with that degree of respect which Englishmen always paid to those, who, like his Royal Highness, pursued a straight and honourable path in public and private life.. . 13 private life his Royal Highness was the advocate of charitfs the friend, the supporter of the poor, the aged, the fatherless-- - ., in public, hi s wa s a co urse which might expose his Royal Highness to the opposition of some persons. But every honest man would do justice to his motives. The honourable and in dependent course which he pursued, claimed and received the applause, the unaffected respect and veneration of every true Englishman.—(Great applause.) His Royal. HroftNEss rose to return thanks, hut was prevented for some minutes from proceeding, in consequence of the cheers with which he was greeted. His Royal High" ness, after alluding to the cause of his not having made his ap pearance at an early hour, requested leave to return his thanite to the company for the manner in which they had received his health. He felt great pleasure in presiding at a Meeting which had for its object the cause of charity—the cause of the or phan and the friendless. The Society of Freemasons made no invi dious distinctions —eve r y man of good moral conduct was in' titled to be admitted amongst them—they cherished no other object than that of public benevolence, and of active charity (Applause). —They formed a bond of union—a tie of affection- -- there was no jealousy—no bitter feelings of any sort created or cherished by them. His Royal Highness proceeded to en large on the objects of the Female Charity, and concluded bY returning thanks to the company. His Royal Highness sa t down amid the cheers of the company. The Children of the Charity were next introduced by the principal Members. A more interesting or affecting scene We have seldom witnessed. Those f r i en dl ess orphans—left at a helpless age upon the charity of the world, and preserved from poverty and misfortune by the fostering care of this invaluable Society—exhibited an appearance not less remarkable fur per sonal beauty, than for the modest, amiable manners, which be . speak a high degree of moral cultivation. On reaching the head of the room, they were placed immediately round the . Ckair. Some of the Girls of the First Class were taken urto the Music Gallery, and sang, with very great effect, the fol lowing Hymn, written for the occasion by J. G. Gascoigoes Esq.:— " Father ! thy Love is as a Star, Stedfast in tempests of distress; Through clouded sorrow from afar It beams to hallow and to bless ! Thy Love, oh Gracious God, is shed, In comfort o'er the righteous heart! May all our infant steps be led Through purest paths, to where thou art. " We, by thy goodness, hous'd from sin, From want, from trouble, bend before Thine azure throne, and from within, Confess thy mercies, and adore ! But when the dreaded world we roam, And have lost such fostering care, Still grant, Oh Ifeav'n ! a sacred home, Where thou wilt hear tile Orphan's prayer. " And, gracious Father, watch o'er those, Who shield us, for :heir love to thee! Hallow with peace each heart where glows Such pure, such fervent Charity ! Oh God ! accept our infant notes, Which flow in grateful praise to thee; Each blessing we receive denotes, • Thou art, Oh God! and e'er shall be ! " HALLELUJAH! AMEX !" His ROYAL HrortNEss, on proposing " The Freemasons Female Charity," observed, that these destitute females were objects of the dearest, the tenderest care. The Society looked upon them as their own children ; they had the same anxiety' for their happiness. Th e y did no t for a moment despair of the success of the Institution; it was founded upon the broad basis of charity—charity exerted on behalf of the most destitute and the most interesting of human beings—a young, forlorn, female orphan. There was no woman, who was a mother, to whom it was necessary to appeal on their behalf; there was no man, with the proper feelings of a man about him, who' would not look upon these poor supplicants as on his own child. His Royal Highness concluded by noticing, in a very handsome manner, the conduct of the Matron of the School—a Lady who, as a public servant, conducted herself in the most exemplary manner. the toast was received with great applause.
