the authenticity of his report, and, with re-
luctance, after an hour's suspense, joined in the
procession. Placards were put up, announcing
that the Baronet had emigrated from Ins
confinement. We will not attempt to describe
the change of countenance that took place, at its
being understood that he would not honour the
procession; but certainly they were of a nature that
if HOGARTH was present, he would have a plentiful
Geld for his pencil. The sturdy carter looked
rave, the farmer discontented, and the disap-
pointed politicians, of all classes, whether orators
at the east side of Temple Bar, or those who
have displayed their abilities to so much ad-
sastsge in the Senate, displayed the mine turn
of feature; amongst whom Colonel WARDLE war
the most conspicuous, and received the adulation
of the populace in the most satiate manner.

At ten o'clock there were not more than on per-
sons before Sir FRANCIS BUNDetT'S hoose in Pli:CS-
dilly ; they consisted chiefly of inconsiderate boys,
sod the only noise we heard, was, vociferation to
oblige coachmen snd equestrians to take off their
hats. 'flit Baronet's windows, very properly, were
not lighted up, although the house seemed to be
inhabited. There were not swore than twenty
houses illuminated in that street ; in St. .14ines's-
street, not more than ten ; not one of the club-
how's, er coifee4ionses, compiled with the requi-
titian. There were ic4ne musical parties, but,
fra+s their iustroinents, the performers must have
been batchas, or their workmen, as they exhibited
their trowels oa marrow-bones and cleavers. In
Pall-Mill, there were not more than twenty homes
illoiniiisted. IA Co: kspur-street, it was more ge.
neral; bat it seemed a hu.iness of necessity ; the
het appeared as the semblance of the proprietors of
the hoo.e, for they barite(' with reluctance. In ►he
Strand, every house, more or less,' was illuminated,
except the Office of the British Insurance. A units.
bet of persons appeared to front of it, and several
stones were thrown, under the mistaken idea that
the proprietors would not illuminate. But we un-
derstand the fart to be the contrary ; that, after
a certain hour in the evening, every person be-
long* to the estahlishotent leaves the Office, end,
of course; that they would, in conjunctiou with
the other inhabitants' of the Strand, sooner
she* a light, than allow their windows to be
broken. We are happy to say, that this illumi-
nation Was not even caused by the friends of the
Honourable ilsrimet, or his Committee. It was
eerierl by a numb. r of boys; and the inhabitants,
to pr the peace, conformed with their re-
quest. We saw a number of constables perambu-
lating the streets, wearing she emblem, or insignia,
as directed by the Committee of the Baronet, or
the self-created one, which we have a right to sup.
pose, from his having so wisely acted contrary to
• wisher, and these invitations for the pfO7SS-

LYCEU4W THEATRE.

Last night The Haunted Tower am performed
at this Theatre with much applause. PHILLIPS
supported the diameter of Lord IVilliatn, and
Dowroo that of Baron of Oaklnnd, in the inust ex-
cellent manner, and met with deserved approbation.
The Castilian Minstrel followed with increased
success. The Spanish national dances, cod the'
fate of the oppressor of Castile, who falls by his-
own murderous dau,ger, met the feelings, and ex-
cited the plaudits of audience. We were sorry
to observe that the House was very thinly attended,
which was probably owing to the out of doors busi-
ness, which had greater attraction, from its novelty,
than the rational amusements afforded by the stage.

SOCIETY OF FRIENOT OF FO ReIGNERS

IN DISTRESS.

Yesterday a great number of those who were in.
tent upon the relief of the distressed of any nation
whatsoever, met at the City of London Tavern.—
The meeting Was attended with the utmost atten-
tion and solicitude, by those who had before openly
declared their opinions upon that occiviion.
Immediately after dimmer, the health of the King -
was drunk with UhlatllllloUS ; afterwards,
that of the Queen. and the rest of the Royal Family.
The Duke of Gloucester, who had met, upon
his entrance, the most select and distinguished air
probation, was, after retiring fur a few moments,
drunk with the most enthusiastic admiration. thion
his return, he give thanks to the company, and
rejoiced that he had met with the applause of
the society upon an occasion where sucii circum.
stances were called into action. He felt
larly happy in stating, that the British nation
were, of all others, the most capable of skewing
their great humanity to tbeir fellow-creatures, and
concluded with the hope that they would impress
the &Art/ascii, he meant the necessity of compelling
a system of conduct which would be of the must
material service, and attended with the must salu-
tary consequences.
The health of Mr. Piockuey was then drunk, and
Aniit: with America.

This toast was drunk with three times three, and
Mr. PINICK m cy, in an animated speech, in which he
praised the institution with the utmost fervour, de-
clared, that lie looked upon the present institution
as one of the most happy tendency.
There were many other toasts or the same na-
ture. and missy health' drunk, which were met by
the MD: persons with similar enthusiasm, and the
cninpany separated ■t the hour of twelve, with the
utmost couduct and propriety.

The company next repaired to the park, to are
an experiment with Lumbered large patent mole
capstan draining plough, which, however, failed,
owing to the hardness of the ground, and the break-
ing of a part of the apparatus.
The prize ssicep•shearers next engaged the atten-
tion of the company, who were notch gratified by
the expertness with which this essential operation
was performed.
Messrs. Gibbs exhibited a choke collection of
the seeds of grasses, and other agricultural plants.
The process of building a wall of pis, or com-
pressed earth, according to the methods laid before
the Society of Arts, last year, by Mr. Robert Sal-
mon. was exhibited : as also, of succouring another
wall, which was built last year.
Ire addition to the implements mentioned yester-
day, the Norfolk turnip fly-catcher was shewn ;
also, James Wallis abetted models of his temporary
sheds of canvas, for sheltering cattle in hot, or very
rainy weather ; and of sliced and dried potatoes, re-
commended by him fur the feeding of =title.
William Shepherd sheered his roll sod turnip-
drill, and Pasmore's chaff-cutter.
Mr. George Quinton, en artist, attended, and
made drawings of several of the implements exhi-
bited, fur the Br wd of Agriculture.
A second whew of South-down Tops took place,
and several Hereford and Devon cattle were ex-
hibited.
About three o'clock the company repaired to the
Park Farm, and sat down to en elrgant dinner,
his Grace in the chair. After which the toasts
ar
" The King."—" Prosperity to Aprieallare."--" Breed-
ing in all its Branches."—•• The Plough."
Ills Grace don. rose and proceeded to read the
adjudication of the several Judges, fur the different
classes of his premiums, 40 rllllOl4ll.
To Mr. Bithrey, a Cup, fur his 9.shear luag-wooled fat
wetter.
To Mr John Hatfield, a Cup, fur his 2-shear long wooled
fat wetisci, heed in Bedfordshire.

To Lord Ougley, a Cup, fur his pea of short-wooled
theurric
To Mr. Trev,ir, a Cup, fur his pen of short-wooled [beeves,

The judges fur the long-wooled sheep, were,
Lord Somerville, Richard Astley, Esq. and Tho-
mas Crook; awl, *fur the short-wooled sheep,
J. Reeves, John Elinan, jun. and Healy Boys.
ills Grace, on the delivery of these cups, puid a
welt-merited compliment to the general txcellen, e
of the sheep exhibited, and of those, in particular,
to which prises had been adjudged.
Ilia Grace then proceeded to read the award of
William Child. Samuel !stead, and Nicholas
Buckley ; and delivered to Mr. William Runci-
man a Cop for the best Boar under two year* old.
His Grace read the Award of J. Nichols. John
Bithrey, aad John Smith, respecting the merits of
the respective sheep-shearers ; and delivered to
John Bullard, of Lidlingtott, ..3 &erns.
George Arnold, of :topic,. ..• gainer.
Jaintx Martin, of Nurtbill, .3 guineas.
Job Arnold, of Crawley, ..• guineas.
Rich. Coleus, of Lidliegton, gimes.
Ilia Grate then read the award of the Rev. Mr.
Priest and Davies Giddy, E4q. which adjudged
twenty guineas to Mr. 'Robert Sal moo. for his
Planting-plough and Drag ; an implement which
they much aad very justly commended. recom-
mending, however, some improvements to lighten
it; and concluding with some remarks on the uti-
lity of hand thrashing machines, if such were
brought to perfection, In a country whose popula-
tion is increasing heyond the means of subsistence.
Ilia Grace, in delivering this premium, bore testi-
mony to the great utility of Salmon's plough and
drag, is preparing fifty aces of heatb-land for
planting, last whiter, in au effectual and economic
manner.

His Grace next read the award of John Fine,
Esq. the Rev. Henry Bate Dudley, sod Mr. John

And that, romirdering the cleanness of furrow, and
other essential requisiti-s of good ploughing, they
had adjudged the Cup to Andrew Wilron, his
Grace's bailiff at the Park Fora' ' • and two guineas
to Jobe Green, the holder of the same. His
Greer, in delivering these premiums, observed, that
allowing his bailiff, to chuse their own implements
to be used on his firms, he had hitherto permitted
them to compete for the plonghin prize ; but, as
the great merit of Nlr. Wilson s ploughs and
ploughmen had so often carried the prize, be
should not again allow him to start, in order to
encourage a wider competition.
His (?race next delivered to Mr. William Run-
(imam, of dirchmoor Farm, thirty ginner', for the
most satisfactory comparisons of the drill and broad-
cast culture of corn, un ten acres of land.
The premiums to careful shepherds were next
distributed. as follows, viz.

now eloped, without Isis having received any claims
for the fifty guineas In bad offered, for uiskiug

tea ici-es. at the least; of n I Ige ereptitre, @kg

might also be, by consulting Mr. Coke sod Mr.
Reeves of Norfolk, who were present. lie

year more; end should make so other alterstiOn
in his premiums, for neat yeur. than omittinK that
fur comparative trials of drill and broad-cast hus-
bandry. the trials having proved in favour of the
drill uniformly.
Tne printed conditions of premiums far next
year, were thee distributed to the company, as
dso a statement di drilled and broad-cast hus.-
hiudry. by Messrs. Batcneidera. of Lidliugtoe, to
Bedfordshire.

His Grace concluded by remarking, that Ida
objects in these Meetings were general improve-
ineut, and that of Bedfordshire Ilusbeistirfr iii par-
ticular; which he larneuteil match to say, war still
disgracefully l►ehiud that of flimsy other counties.
a disgrace which lie earnestly extorted tFe company
present, to do their best to wipe away, as speedily
as possible. His Grace then gave—
. Mr. Coke, sad Norfolk Husbandry."
Mr. Coca rattle and mid, that called on es he was
to acknowledge the compliment paid to him, and
to Norfolk Farming; he lamented that he could
not sit down without joining in the charge brought
by their Noble Host, against much of the hus-
bandry of Bedfordshire, where little improvement
was certainly visible. Often as he hod repeated
his invitation in that room, to the Bedfordshire
farmers, to come down to Holkhain, and view the
system there, and on the farms of his tenants, kw
bad evaded themselves of it. He was proud to
state, that some of big tenants, who were formerly
as backward as themselves, and as prejudiced in
favour of old practices as themselves, Mr. Reeve'
in particular, who was present. were now bright
examples of good management. Norfolk sheep,
continued Mr. Coke, have given place en Mr.
Elman'e improved South-down sheep, and drill-
ing lass become general, without any instances
of farmers going back from Downs to Norfolk
sheep. or from drilling to broad-cast corn. end
by which practlce the carioca, avid other thigracefal
weeds of Bedfordshire, ought to be get ►id of. Mr.
Coke concluded by observing, th it Sir Joseph
Banks, by his exertions in favour of Spanish sheep,
had rendered a most important service to our rote -
nufactures ; but do they, said he. Want motio:i
or can we have a ti.ie dtece on a fat caret-s
gave,

The worthy Hsroilet tote, end with nicest an. mo-
tion anal good humour, thanked the company, crier
gratulating them that it cis at len4-th a•hnitted.
that iinprovernent in wool hail bore effected : and
said, that if the Melillo carcasses were inferior, it
was, because tiieir improvement was bot juit begun.
We have, said he. sera New L icest.es rise front
nothing, anal no oue know, what breed ; and we
have seen Downs, formerly like rats in size, now
rivalling any breed in the kingdom. In Spanish
sheep there is as much capability us to Lincoln•
shires, which have risen into Bakewella. or in little
rats of South-downs, which have swollen into it
proved downs. • •
This speech wits much end long applauded.
His GM! then gave. ',Me. Ifeev4 of Novi& ;••
mid after • high compliment to Ea►l Ludlow's very
excellent farming at Cople House, which he recom-
mended as a pattern, gave that Noble Lord as a togas
His Grace next gave.--fl Lord Dunougheort."
His Lordship thanked the company, mud meureel
them of the extreme gratification with which he
had viewed his Gram's improiements here, and
how deeply his sudden lags in Ireland had been felt
and lamented by multitudes.
His Grace hewing left the chair, his health wee
drunk, as was that of his Noble Duchess, end the
Marquis of Taviatock, (who is, we understand.
recovered) each with three times three.
The company new retureed to the farm, and II

On Tuesday lart, the King of FRANCR. Louts
XVIII. paid a visit to the Duke of Ileuroan, at
Woburn Abbey, about one o'elrw:ki, while his Greet
and numerous friends, and agricultural visitors,
were attending the ploughing match on one of the
farms adjoining the Palk. The Marquisof 111.111 T.

The Kara and suite, after partaking of a cold col-
lation, west over the Abbey. which he much ad-
mired, particularly the magnificent Library and

reeled at the sight of the tine whole-length portrait
of his unfortunate brother, Louts X% I. iii one of
the smaller State Withdrawing-rooms. His MA.
MITT afterwards inspected the farm-yard. and im-
plements of husbandry exhibiting fur prizes, which
were explained to him by Lord Wrstworrii. and
at which he expressed

to Aylesbory to dinner.
It may not be deemed unworthy of remark, that
there is now standing, in the house of Farraline4

one of his progenitors on the day immediately pre.
