industriously at work, to leave it, and to overawe sheer rm.
ployers compliance with their demands. We are sorry
for their conduct, beciiine we cannot but think it injurious
to themselves and their families. The same spirit, we are
contented to add, has broken oat *bother trades.

usual. Upwards of 120 persons sat down to the din-
tier, at which T. W. Coke, EN. ',resided, supported
by the Duke or Norio4k. the Earl of Albemarle,
Gen. Fitzroy, Adin. kin, J. Merest. Esq. M.l'.
Messrs. Styletnan► Moseley, &e. &r. The principal
wool buyers were Messrs. %Vatter, Ilawkes, Figono,
Gsrdener, Voyageur, and several gentlemen from
Yorksjsire mud other parte. After the cloth was
removed, the Chairma► gave the following toasts—
" Constitet tun and Kiag.'•—•wProaperity to the Wool Fair,
awl a fair prize between Daysearatt x..4ier.---eg Prosperity to
the Coieritiet of Norfolk gedieoffolk."—The Woollen Ma-
nufactures of Gore Britain.'
The tliuirman, iu calliug ,the attention of the

felt greater pleasure than on the present occasion,
in which he witnessed the largest and toast respect-
able Wool Fair ever held in Thetford. lie rejoiced
to he able to state to thew, that the Woollen Ma-
nufactories were never je a more prosperous condi-
tion than at the ',moot goonient. As he had es-
tablished the Fair, so he wished to promote those
beeefitial results which were •to flow from it, by
offering his wool at a fair sod liberal price. He
knew a hat was expected at the Lewes Fair, and
lie doubled not bet the Meeting would give him

was accepted by Mr. Waller, who complimented
Mr. Coke on the superior quality and cleanliness
of his wool, and recommended his example to other
growers, particularly in reference to the breaching
the fleece.

The Duke of Norfolk offered his wool at Ws.
which was accepted.
On the health of the Earl of Albemarle being
drunk, his Lordship observed, that he was never so
hap py. as when he could be useful to his friends and
tbeiglibisnes; he often regretted so little bugines,
hod been done in the room, and was glad that Mr.
Wailer had broken the ice. It appeared to him
that the wool-buyers had bound themselves by a
vox not to buy in that room ; but rash vows
were better broken thou kept, in proof of which
he related an anecdote of a foreigner, who, iii a
quarrel, vowed he would never comb his hair until
he had obtained revenge. This vow, said his Lord-
ship, was only inconvenient to himself awl his
friends. He concluded by offering his wool to
Mr. noon at 84s. but winch was refused : how-
ever, his Lordship shortly after rose and stated,
that *Won't Mr. Fison to have his wool as usual,
lie had agreed to take Ms. and that Mr. F. had
accepted it, requesting his Lordship to state to
the company, most distinctly, that he was not int-
pared to give the same price to others—(how-
ever, we believe that before the bosisiess of the day
concluded, the Messrs. Fisous were compelled to
give Me.) Lord Albemarle, in the course of Ilia
speech, having lamed some very high encomiums
on Mr. Futon, gave occasion to the Chairman to re-
mark, that he fully agreed in the sentiments of his
noble friend respecting the gentleman just named,
but regretted that Mr. Fisun had only nibbled ut
his wool. but never yet took it. Before he sat down
he would saurus the Meeting, that since the esta-
blishment of the Fair, the quantity of wool grown
in Norfolk and Suffolk had increased to double or
treble. He concluded by proposing for a toast
"The Mabel' of Norwich, the best Shepherd in Christen-
dom."

The Rev. Mr. Et.t.rtu, thorigh little inclined to
interrupt the important busier*, of the Meeting.
could not, as a Clergyman, refrain from offesiiig
his thanks to theCliairmaii for proposing this toast,
mid to this very respectable company, for the hand-
some manner in which they had received it. Ile
observed, that the Chaim:in was in the habit if
paying this tribute of respect to that excellent
man at almost every public meeting. sod he did not
wonder at it ; " Siasifis sissili platelet :"—or, to
use on English proverb, Dods of a leather flock
together." The same liberal spirit—the same seal
for civil and religious liberty—the same charity
for the failings of otheri,and (as far us ability
