award concluded by commending the wis.

offered by the Board, as tending to excite an uni-
versal competition, beneficial in the most extensive
degree to stock of all descriptions in the United
Kingdom: and the same was signed—
F. LAWLEY,

H EN KY J. NICHOLLI,
IYM. STICKNEY.
His Lordship next gave " The Judges of the
Sheer," and then proceeded to call up the me-
credal candidates, in succession, to select and re-
ceive their plate.
Mr. Thotnasoin receiving his Elate, gave a high
character to the improved Durhatns, as good
'milkers and ready fattener&
Mr. Hutchinson next received his plate.

The harmony of the meetiug was now for genie
time disturbed by one of the candidates rising to
complain of Iwo on/y of the six offered premiums
for hulls having been adjudged, although nine
good animals were liberal for the saute. He also
preferred a similar complaint of several sheep pre-
miums having been withheld, for reasons which
himself and others could not understand, as a pro-
test which was just then haudtd to his Lordship
would more fully stale.
The Hey. Mr. Jess's, endeavoured to explain
this, by stating that the Board, in a►ranging there
premiums, wished to keep the different breeds
distinct.
This paper, on being read by Mr. Hall, quoted
three passages from the Board's advertisement,
" To the several breeders of the six best bulls of
any sort or kind kept in the United Kingdom, the
merits whereof are to be considered on a compa-
rison with other bulls of the same breed, a piece
• of plate of the value of 301. each ;" and two other*,
in similar words, offering six premiums of 15/. each,
for rams; and six of 101. each, fur pens of breed-
ing ewes. It then went on to repeat the complaint
above dieted, as to bulls; complained also that al.
• though three excellent long-woolled rams were
ahem', one only had a prize—and only two ewes,
one of which was fat, and not a breeding ewe.
Mr. Totems rose, and strongly reprobated this
protest, is unprecedented and presumptuous ; al.
though there might, he admitted, ginner some
ambiguity in the words of the proposals, the
Judges, it might be presumed, had awarded pre.
miums to all those whom they thought deserving
then►.
Mr. Cuavree, from the bottom of one of the
table., stated, that undoubtedly the Board intend.
ed six premiums to the hest animals of six differ.
rut breeds; sod he must ►uy thi.t he was of
opinion, having exansiued the wick, that the
Judges, in some instances, had too much considered
fatness, instead of the breeding fitness, which
the Board contemplated ; yet, as he trusted that
mote precautions would he used next year, he
elsould recommend the withdrawing of the protest;
and which latter sentiment being repeated from the
Chair, we understood it to be complied with, and
the business proceeded with the accustomed ottani.

LON DON, •
THURSDAY, Aram li, MI.

The Paris Papers of Sooday last have mrived at
oar office, Letters from Rome, of the nrh of lost
month, announce that the Kiug of lb! SICIL4SS
" hid entered his capital amidst the general tier:lona
mations of his subjects." This expression is to
much a matter of course i• all the essetirseutat
papers, whenever they notice the movements of
Kings and Reoperate, that we receive it as it is
given, without attaching to it any definite significa-
tion or meaning. The phis*q serves to finish a
period, or to satisfy the exigencies of a courtly
style, or having been, °act established as a kind of
standard fines of ezerrewirm. its absence would he
regarded as an insult. Those Neapolitans, how-
ever, who are oTJ enough to recollect the return
Of the same King FERDINAND IV. to Naples about
twenty years since, and the sanguinary scenes that
distinguished that unhappy period of their history,
must tremble at the probable consequences of the
Kitio's present restoration to au unlimited autho-
rity. There was scarcely one noble family in
Naples that bad not, at that time, to mouru the
lees of some of its most distinguished members by
the scaffolds or the no leas certain operation of PcCf‘S
imprisonment; fur neither age,. nor einineat ser-
vices, nor private virtue, nor learning, nor rank, could
save the obnoxious individuals who could by any sub-
tlety or ingenuity be brooglit within the meshes of
the ex post facto law which as promulgated by the
Governuteat as the Kino's return, and which luar
deed seemed to have been framed for the purpose
of embracing the case of every individual what-
ever, who had remained in Naples during any part
of the five months for which the Republic had
apb-
sisted. An amnesty had st that time beenspeentised
by the KING, yet thousand, were put to death ist the
cruelest manner, and the revolting circumstmsces
that accompanied the murder, fqr it was no better
than a cruel sod inhuman murder, of the old Priem
FRANCSSCO CARACCIOLO, shew what little confi-
dence can be reposed upon the clemency of his
MAJESTY. It is true that, to the eternal Israel
of a name which stands deservedly among the most
distinguished of the warriors of England, ilia Bei-
that Admiral then iu the Bay of Naples aeenai to
have been the most active &gest in this dreadful
tragedy, but it is impossible to believe that the
KISIG was not sppriaed of the proceedings of
the court-martial upon this unfortunate old
Prince—of the reiterated commands of the Ad-
miral that the beat
sentence of banishment
should be revised—that in point of feet the
death of the victim was the object sought by
this mockery of a trial, and that nothing short a
this would satisfy his enemies. This is the third
time that the old Kiug of the Swum has been
restored to the full enjoyment of arbitrary power ire
Naples by the interveution of his foreign Allies, yet
notwithstanding the necessity of his seeking such
easietance. and the notorious harshness and severity
of his perique' government, we are told that the
late revolution was the work only of • small factio..,
in which the great body of the people had no
caticerrence. and that not only the KING, DUI
even the &reign troops to silents he is indebted
for his power, bare elder's' Ibe capital amidst
the joyful acclamations of the inhabitants; !
We are yet to learn whether his MAJIOTY
will observe his engagements, and grant the Ere-
maned Conetitaliett to his People; PeeOli he
