who had done so much for the county as Mr. Coke

experience went, he might say that he w.is as much
forked tip to even in other parts of the Kingdom as in
Norfolk.

no claim to the notice of the meeting as au agriculnirisi,
it was true that he loved ag•iculttire and hoped to im-

" But had not always wlierew it hal."
Now I certainly have not wherewithal in express half
what I feel of respect and affection !Or you, Sir, for the
way iu which you hare now been pleased to speak of
me, and for the many proofs of confidence and regard
which I have received from you, now to COM ry my
sense of gratitude to the freeholders of Norfolk—fOr the
expression of these feelings I frankly coolest that I have
not " wherewithal." taut coming here to contribute
my mite, if not in the instruction, at least to the convi-
iality ni the meeting, I am anxious to do so, whether
the laugh he against me or with me.

" The Duke of Sussex."—( Long continued cheers.)
His Royal Highness said—" The handsome manner
in which ow worthy friend has proposed my health,
and the vety warm and Cordial way in which you gen-
tlemen have received it, have made a Joel) impression
upon me. 1 have listened with great interest, and 1
hope with some improvement to what 1 have heard on
this occasion. To me the scene is as novel, as it is grati-
fying, 1 can therefore only give my opinion as a general
well-wisher to the prosperity of agriculture, and it is quite
impossible that such meetings as these can take place
without leading to the most beneficial results--results
equally honourable to Mr. Coke and beneficial to the
country at large.
