AGRICULTUKAL 4NNIVIihSAR Y.

[From Ilse "Albany Staternsr," Americas Paper.]

The Annelid Fairand Cattle Shew for the county I
of Alimony took place in this city on Tuesday and
11'eduiristlay last.
011 Tuesday 'naming, of an early hour, the
citizens from different part, of the e y, and
:strangers from other roulette", began to assembles io
great numbers at the Capitol. and on the rkbibition
ground at IValloingtotosquisru. The 31tonberis of
the Society and those who wished to become Mem-
ber., repaired to the room -et apart for them in the
basemesit-atory of the Capitol, and moiutcd the
agricultural badge. which commits of three ears of
wheat, tied with a blue ribband,•od woru as a coek•
ade. At eleven o'clock the Members of the Society
footled in 'not eosin'', headed.-by the C miller,
51151 moved to Washingtosioiquare. The roc's..
stole wit. numerous mild respectable. In front was
borne a new rind elegant agricultural standard, dr-
sien-t1 suit painted by Mr. Ameso justly-celebrated
root of this city. The field of the flag iv white,
whorled with a landscape view, which presents iu
the foregoomid • hillock, with a tree tiptoe the sum-
mit, mod cattle recumbent—a flack of sheep near
by, the most prominent implements of husbandry,
amid goldesi wheat. A husbandman is
seen in piospecoive upon a plain. 111 the attutuile of
holding and driving his plough. Both the (Ilosign
and execution lire appiopitate and neat, tool do
great credit to the artist.
On striving at the eopare, the procession ascended
a large anal commodious stage, erected for their tor-

ing the uniwal, for exhibition. Over the soros too
eroding to the stage a white flag w** raised, bear.
log the image of 1111 ox. The group in each of the
op ertinents was highly creditalde to the county,
atilt mailifested all evident improvement since the
last anniversary. Both the size uppeoratice of
the cattle and sheep furnished satisfactory evidence,
that the levels in this vi.•iisity are by no 1111.1111‘ of an
iiiferior quality as a grazing country. Pubic curi-
osity was much aerated by a herd of swine, com-
prising a female sod her two litters of pigs—the
fiat of nine. and the latter of thirteen—
both of which Ole had produced mid reared within
the last six months. She was in good case herself,
aid appeased to move about in the midst of her
numerous and flourishing progeny with a degree of
pride mid sitisfoc .
Kit-Neon the hours of one and two the ploughing
match commenced. 'llw' lipid or as sur-
rounded by sin immense COIICIWIIC of spertators of
both seers, in eau rooges, on horseback, •till use foot.
The neighbouring hillocks, home-tips, ssisidows.
awl fences, were thionged with throe who were
anxious to wimp's this curious and interesting 'pee-
tack. It was literally an agricultural duel, as
there were but two competitors for the premium.
The teams bad hardly started, before (lie sympa-
thies of the multitude were visibly divided and en-
listed in favour of one or the other; and the blacks
aid yellows were alternately cheered. The skill
displayed in the speed and neatuess of the work,
clearly proved that each of the autagonists was
master of his professien. As there was hut at mu-
' meat's difference in the tittle of completing the two
equal areas, rod the work gm both sides was done
remarkably well, it seemed to be the geasral opi-
nion that looth debt reed pre 1111.11ils.
If the forenoon passed pit esautly in the midst of
these exhibitions amid curl fetes, the iifterlision was
not less agreeably dewiest to all exantiteittiott of the
of doinewic inanufactore, deposited for pub-
lic inspection in Vie Assembly Chamber at the
Capital. The specimens of female ingenuity, skill,
amid industry were sooner ms, tool each exialleitt iu
its kind. Among throe were found well.wrouglit
and dressed broad-clothe, carpeting% of different
naitelial* and fignees, fl mods of various colours
and (polities. ortiamental quilts I coverlet's, exhi-
biting in matty hist:ince% hue samples of needle-
work, 'oleos of all kiosk, stockitigs, &c. Our of
the fitieo articles we recollect to have noticed was
a piece of flannel, manoCulured iu the family of
Mr. Mtoire, of Itemorlarriiii!e. Good judges pro-
nouticed it not inferior to the limiest and hest-
imported flannels, mud a number of Gentlemen of
this cily will have the satisfaction of knowing how
it will wear. ‘Ve niu4 not neglect to mention a
lady's beau; iful cape, finely WI ought from die !Hir-
oo. tits or (fowl' of the uselepiue, or milk-weed, by
Miss Caroline I.ovett, of this city. This curious,
and we believe original material of female orna-
ment, is of a rich cream colour, and has the 391111e8/
and ;tins-iness of the richest silk. The tioverarticle
was handsomely trimmed with red satin, and in the
opinion of the itaintroua spectator', both male and
female, clearly entitled its ingemoua inventor and
fabricator to o premium and potent for ladies' eves.
On the whole, no one could examiuse the many
heiuttrol Hulse-tic fabric, here deposited, tine lero-
ditto* of so much tabor, skill, amid intluatry, without
contiog to the irresistible conclusion, that the
county of Albany is by no weans destitute of
those who are. and those who will it: Ike, good wives.
Ou IVetlimsdity morning, the 'tempi day of the
fair, at; aluetiota sale of the articles of domestic ma-
nulisioure, which were deposited fur premiums, took
place in the hall of the Capitol. A great concourse
of purchasers presented themselves., and in some
ittatances the competition for labourite pieces of
g110(11 was very wed'. Some of the fl. Is were
sold as high as I dollar 5 cents a yard. Sales of
this kind might be much extended, to the ideate.
'age mid accommodation both of the purchaser
and seder.
At teas o'clock the Monist's of the Society met at
Sktoner'. Mansion-hower, fur the purpose of electing
thew officers fur the ensuing year. About 12 o'clock
a very 1111111C111014 and highly respectable processiote
foimed in froot of the 31.tiision-houiw, and moved
through Stale-street to the Capitol, preceded by
cart drawn by eta floe oxen. Tha car was fariei-
fully adorued by three Wooers-sows' of which have

lately been mentioned—the other w..• a innilifac•
luring warbiliard. bearing the picture of a spintsiog.
wheel. 'rule fore part of the cart was crowsied
with flower., and sheaves of wheat with tickles
listigiug in them ; and the wiles were hung with ears
of corn, cluaters of grapes, sand other fruits of our
soil. In the rr.,r a c cle rued we. raised, cover-
ed with black cloth, in which the iirentiums about
to be distributed were eli.played with much taste.

whole was so arranged as to produce the finest
egret. One of the apples, which crowned a fruit
dial*. measure Abe. it Matra in circumference, and
weighs upwards of a pound.
On the arrival of the procession at the Aasembly
Chamber. a very solemn and appropriate prayer
was offered up by use Rev. Dr. lie Witt; slid ""

artilicoce of ladies end geittlemen by Chief Justice

The President of the Society, the lion. Stephen

Committees, and distributed tile premium., which
amounted to 1,500 dollars, one third of which sum,
it will be remembered, h the *initial slonitiim of the
munificent indibidual who ',trestles over the desti-
nies of the Soilety. The preaniuirne consisted of
biker plate. The successful competitors received
the honorary tebtimonials of their auperinr skill and
industry from the hand of the Prebittent, and re-
tired to their seats amidst repealed shouts of imp-
plaitae.

The length of this sketch has I,ft us little room
for general remarks. It seemed to be all otsi-

assumed a new aspect, and others have been made

LAZY INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WerrmissTen,
THURSDAY NOVISISCR 23.

THE LING V. CiaTWIIIGHT, WOOLIIII, and oTturks.
The whole of the Defendants being in Court.
Mr. DENSE IN moved, on the part of the De-
fendants, George Edmonds and Charles Nlarldos,
for a rule to skew cause why the verdict obtained
should not be set aside, and • new trial granted.
The grounds on which lie 'eil fur it were inde-
pendent of any thing which took place on the Intel,
but related to the 'nude in which the Jury were
collected. The first objection to which he should
draw their Lordships attention was the same which
wait taken m the ease of the King against NVooler,
its to the manner in which the ..luster selected the
Special Jury.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE —" Is there any other
made by winch it can be done)"
Mr. DENMAN humbly suhmitled, that they
should not be selected at all.
Tue LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—" The Special Jury
Was struck on the 25ili February last ; there were
two Terms, therefore, in which a motion might have
been made. I. there any insiance, Mr. Denman,
in which a party has taken the chalice of use trial,
and afterwards come to this Court to ohket to the
mincer of forming the Jury ?"
Mr. DENMAN said lie was vtry unwilling to com-
mit the interests of his client by trusting to his
recollection ou the subject. At the moment the
Jury was struck at the Crown Office the objections
were made, and at the trial the D- fendants chal-
lenged the array, on the ground of the partiality of
the Master, and that was the second point which lie
intended to urge. Ou the first point he had the lath.
daviiii of Charles Pearson and Julio Cartwright,
who attended by appointment at the Crown Office.
The book of the freeholders of the county of War-
wick was produced, which contained 2,500
Major Cartwright inquired of the Master by what
rule he governed himself io striking the Jury? He
repliid, that it had been his practice to open the
book at hazard, and select such names from the
place at which the book opened in he thought pro.
per; but that lately he bad abandoned that me-
thod, sud selected the names from the whole li.t.
The question, therefore, for their Lordships was,
on the construction of the Act of Parliament. if by
it the Master was entitled to Rollie such selection.
Mr. Pearson and Major Cartwright objected to the
Master. that by such mode the liat of the Jury was
placed at the discretion of an individual.
The LOaD CHIEF JUSTICE —" The question is,
whetter the Lewsliature did not mean it should be
so. Who dots it in ordinary cities ? Is it not au
inlividual—the Sher if?"
Mr. Denman submitted, that such a mode
would give the Matter a very great opporth * y of
exercising partiality. In Loudon and Nliddlesee,
where he resoled, stud *bete he ;night be suppi.w.l
to kitow ilie parties, lie might act on his owl, per-
suital kerowltilge; but with rcgard to other cowl..
ties. lie must follow the Slieritrsdeperiptioso. Their
Lordships would hear with surprise that out of
8,500 freeholders in the county of Warwick, there
was only 66 detiguated as Epquirev—so that if the
Sheriff had thought proper so to designate only 48,
the same men must always be returned. If the
designation of Esquire, or Merchant, was It•Cessary
to ctiainnute a Special Jurymen in some cottutirs,
it might happen that it could Hot he possible to
form a Special Jury at all. In the Act of Podia.

tiori was, that they should he free rumil

In the present case, II nut of the GG Special Jar)-
men had been on the Grand Jury. In answer to
his Lordship's iitteminta, of how the Master could
nominate without aelecting ? he would answer, ttat
he ',login to leave the derision to chance. 'There
alas o far a difficulty, that the Legislature had not
wooed out she mode in which It was to he dune

but it was a point of great importance, a:A w, II
worthy of the further consideration of the Cantrt.
The MASTER said that is One respect Mr. l)ru-
man
wars mistaken ; uotoe of die Grand Jury were
on the panel ; they were excluded by (mascot.
Mr. Incesx said they were in the first instance
included. The Leanne', Cours.tl read Irons his
affitlivits the objections which were taken before
the Matter, who refused us take any names loot
such as were designated Esquires. The second
imint was, that soli:posing the Master of the Clown
Office was vested with the power. the Defentlasots
objected to the mode in which he bad exercised
it. They charged I lin with partiality, and its
point of fact he had nominated fourteen of the
perrom• who haul found the bill.

Mr., DEN NAN humbly submitted, that they

objected at the Crown-Office, and having the right
of challenge to the array at the A►stxe+, they had
exercisi,tl that right, amid the Judge was hound to

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, it dill not fol-

Mr. Justice BEST—" Ito a civil case it would be

the Court, besides those offered by Mr. Denman
Mr. Wonler said there was one other ground.
I.t had been recently ascertained that Mr. Peach
tend stood twelfth on the list, and consequently he
must be one of the Jurors, in the event of the first
ee!v.• attending. But it wrs discovered thy( there
had been a- marshalling of the panel, and two
:limes had beers placed before Mr. Peach's, by
which means he now stood the fourteenth on thi! list,
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, that the officer
had suggested as a reason fur the slterst►on, that
there were two Baronets among the twenty-four,
aid that it was always usual to place then► at the
head of the list. That appeared a ►atisfactory ex-
planation, and therefore the Court would not grant
any rule on that ground, but on the other grounds,
whether it was fit there should he a challenge to
the array, and a challenge ilb the poll for favour,
were points tit for footle r thscusrion, aid the
Court therefore granted the rule. But it was to
be understood it was not to be put its the new trial
piper.
