time was near, when prosperity would return hand in hand with
the old constitutional principles. (Cheers )
Mr. Coke, in proposing Mr. Ilunie's health, highly eulogised
his exertions to produce economy.
Mr. !lime expressed the gratification he felt at receiving the
approbation of those whose applause could not be bought. lie

That most excellent man, the Bishop of Norwich."
The liev. G. Glover said, that enjoying the confidence of the
worthy Bishop, lie could not forbeer returning thanks, but his
character was too noble, too elevated, too troly Christian, for hint
to attempt to describe.
The company then adjourned to the sheep pens in the park,
where some excellent stuck was exhibited ; but r me was mad.
TUESDAV.—This morning was extremely fine, and more than
Goo visitors assembled rotund the again, to view the manu-
facture of flax and hemp.
An instrument named a Perambulator, invented by Mr. Pihty,
of lloughley, Suftlilkotras also eehibited, which is tither attached
to a hand wheel, or may be adjusted to any vehicle, when it
occupies the space of a few inches only. The machinery appears
very simple, and little liable to be impaired, though it is so
ingeniously contrived as to exhibit the number of ads to the end
of each furlong, the number of furlongs, us completed, up to a
mile, and registering the number of miles paused up to a hundred.
Mr. Paul, of Starston, also exhibited his Trap for the Turnip-
fly, consisting chiefly of a linen bag on a frame, which he used
by sowing a headland, in the month of flay, as a decoy; and by
drawing the trap ovet repeatedly, has taken a pint of these dimi-
nutive insects in a warm evening, which he considers the fitted
time. He conceives that the fly may be thus extirpated from the
country in a few years, but we are infOrmed that Air. Herod, of
Burnham, has this year saved his crop by horse hoeing it, whilst
a neighbour who sowed under precisely the same circumstances,
lost the whole plant in spite of Mr. Paul's trap, though he cer •
tainly caught a great many. Mr. Paul also proved the goodness
of his wooden chaise springs, which with unusual lightness and
and th nness at the extremities appeared to possess great strength.
The sheep in competition for the premiums were next inspected,
and then the cavalcade set out for new olkliam; it pretty colony
or white brick buildings begun within a few years, in which
ehools for children of earn sex are now being erected.—

whole excited great admiration. The line Devon cattle exhibited
Mr the premiums were the next object, at the Great Barn, and
then the pigs of Longlands, amongst which the Neapolitan breed
were remarkable for their size and fatness. The company
returned to the Hall sown after three.
After dinner Mr. Coke proposed the health of the Duke of Bed-
ford, by whose attendance he was -particularly gratified, because
he knew his Grace cone out of the amiability of his heart, being
tar from well. (Cheers.)

" The Marquis of Tavistock," who returned thanks.
Mr. Coke then gave another branch of the saute noble and
illustrious family who was. present—a sun of Lord W. Russell,
Mr. Russell, who in returning thanks said he believed his name

took an interest in agriculture.

Mr. Col.e alluded to. The Noble lord thanked die company
for the honour they had done hint.

particular, one thirg he could not but tarty home, which was
most valuable—nantely, a lesson how a landlord might be ren-
dered most illustrious, a tenant most prosperous, and a labourer
most happy.
•"The High Sheriff of Norfolk, Sir Jacob Astley."
" Breeding in all its brandies."
" The Earl Marshal of England, the Duke of Norfolk," who
had been prevented attending by an unexpected summons to

gratification at all that he had seen on this Ins first visit, and his
wish t i be allowed ut a future occasion to introduce one or two of
his own tenantry, to derive that benefit which he was sure they
must from the inspection of Mr. Coke's farms.

Mr. Coke spoke of his pleasure at the number of foreigners
present, and proposed the health of the Fretieli Consul, who
briefly addressed Mr. Coke in terms not audible. " Count
Zamoroski, from Poland," who returned thanks.

The Duke of Sussex roc, when a burst of applause took place.
Ile felt flattered, be said, by the manner in which they received
his rising, and was sure they antieipated the toast he was about
to give. (Applause.) All were united in agreeing that great and
general thanks were to be given to the noble owner of that house,
for the bright and great example held up to land owners of brin6ing
into eflict an union between the landlord and his tenantry. In
consonance with those feelings, he proposed the health of Mr.
Coke. and prosperity to the House of llolkhasn. (Loud cheers.)

" The I Ilu,nious Duke who has honoured Holkbam with his
presence."—When the burst of applause had subsided, his Hoyal
flightless said he had often told dr. Coke what he felt when he
came into Northlk. If he had any cares, he threw than all from
his heart when he came to Mitcham. To sec his worthy host
extending the kindest and most hospitable reception to the highest
and the lnw. st—to see him surrounded by so many men of
science, and practical knowledge, was one of the greatest plea-
sures he had ever received. As a member of the reigning family,
he rejoiced to ace union between landlind and tenant, so beneficial
to the country, and thought it wits weed liter a Prince if he could
see these things, that he might so gain die affections of his sub-
jects, and discard the guards from about lilt person—that he
might lay his head upon his pillow with perfoct security in the
good-will of his people who surrounded him. (Applause.) He
should conclude the day by giving "The Respectability of the
Crown, the 1 /urability of the Constitution, and the Prosperity of
the Purple." (Cheers long continued.)
