DUKE OF BEDFORD'S AGRICULTURAL lat.._
(Concluded).
CASTIABiI, ocr. 1 I.
On Thursday evening His Grace the Lord Lieu-
tenant and suite arrived at Westport House, the
magnificent seat of the Marquis of Sligo. The
Doke was there met by a seled party of Agticultu-
rists. His Grace was early on horseback yester-
day morning, viewing the numerous flock of his
Noble Host, and his extensive farming improve-
ments : he was particularly struck with the skilful
arrangement of the spacious farm-yard, the threth-
ing mill, and various other machinery ; the while of
which are admirably contrived to be wrought with
the greatest facility by water. Westport House and
demesne could not fail to excite great admiration.
Among the numerous curiosities of this place,
may be classed the extraordinary Irish wolf dogs; a
race peculiar to the island, and now exclusively in
the possession of the Marquis of Sligo. These were
brought into the great Hall, and much admired.—
His Lnidsitip's famous Bull, Brew). Jack, this day
arrived from Ballinasloe, decorated with his tibband,
2; winner of the Gold Medal, and underwent a
third inspeetion from the Duke. A lamentable ac-
cident happened here a few days before, by another
bull of his Lordship's killing his keeper. His Grace
received advice here, that the cattle and sheep,
which he had presented to the Farming Society,
were safely strived from Woburn, at the Pl.cenix
Park. The Duke and suite left Westport House
soon after six this morning, on their route to liasle-
wood, the seat of Owen Wynne, Esq. %%here they
will remain until Monday, and then proceed to
Farnham House, the seat of Earl Farnham, near
Cavan, and return to the Phanix Park early in the
Inext week.
