There was also u Seuthdown Lamb of Mr. Coke's, which
weighed tat.
The party, still greater than on Tuesday, then rode through
NVells and Warham, and their attention was particularly drawn
to the pasture of Mr. likantield, of the latter place, innotarlated
four years ago, which presented the appearance of a very rich old
established turf. After looking at Mr. B.'s fine Devon cows, a
considerable number partook of a luncheon at his house, and
then the course was taken to Mr. Moore's, in the same village,
where excellent refreshments were also prepared. The ride was
continued to the field near Longlands, where the ploughmen hail
been exerting tbeir skill for the prizes, oral about halt past three
between six rind sever. hundred again sat down to dinner. After
the cloth was withdrawn, Mr. Coke gave—" Prosperity to Agri-
culture."—Fine nUCCI: and fat carcase."

" Dr. Rigby, Mr Unthank, Mr. Dalrymple, and the other
gentlemen from Norwich who have honoured this Meeting with
their presence."
Mr. Coke then gave—Mr. Hughes from Wiltshire; Mr.
Burroughs, and pro perity to agriculture in Ireland ; Mr. Weeks,
from America; Mr. Salmter, from Nova Scotia : Admiral Lukin
and his son • Mt. M'Kenzic, from Scotland, who severally
returned thanks.
" Mr. Mown, and prosperity to the town of Wells, of which
he is the Father." Mr. Bloom returned thanks.

Air. Coke said be would again propose the health of, he might
almost say, one of his earliest friends, Sir Burdett. (ltuttiense
applause.) They had both come from the saline county, and had
never (bared in politic.; and he was convinced that the people
had nut a firmer friend, nor the crown a more faithful subject.—
(Continued cheers.)
Sir Y. Burdett knew not to what he could attribute the unusual
honour of lin health having been a second time proposed, unless
to the kinclnes.; of his host in wishing to introduce Inin more par.
titularly to the Yeomanry of Norfolk. The Hon. Hart. con-
cluded a speteh of considerable length by saying, his noble host
had entailed more upon himself than he was aware; for he was
determined annually at this season to seek bed and board at
Holkham.

.....
Mr. Coke proposed as a toast, " the Established Church, its
members Archdeacon Bathurst, the Rev. Geo. Glover, the Rev.
Mr. Odell, and others.
The Ilev. Archdeacon Bathurst said he felt highly gratified at
this notice, as well of the profession to which he had the honour
to belong, as of himself personally«from the official situation he
held, he had probably a better opportunity of knowing the clergy
of Norfolk than any one else, and he could fearlessly assert, that
there was not Ilbody of men in the kingdom who did so much to
relieve the distresses of the present times, and who yet " Let not
their right hand know what their left hand doeth"—though on
some subjects he was far from agreeing with all of them, yet their
general deportment towards hint proved the liberality of their
feelings. The worthy Archdeacon then alluded to the present
distressed state of the agricultural interest, and stated that he
feared what the clergy could do, with justice to themselves,
towards its alleviation. would have but little effect ; but he wog
sure they world gladly second every alba of the landlords.
Nothing was more to be desired than a cultivation of mutual
respect and esteem between landlord, clergy, and tenant; and
that wherever in old agreements, advantage had been taken of
the then-existing high prices, by either clergy or landholders,
such agreement ought nut in fairness to be insisted on now ;
on the other hand, the farmer should regard with respect the
lotleration of any agreement of that time, and not expect a
reduction from a rent or tithe which the lame wooed allow hint
well to pay.
The 11ev. G. Glover also returned thanks.

The Earl of Aroemarle, the Ladies Keppel, and prosperity
to the House of Keppel. (Loud cheers.)"
The Eat! returned thanks, and proceeded in that tone of plea-
santry which so delights his auditors ; but which, unless we could
give it tone, and had space fur its insertion verbatim, would lose
all its point on paper. After complimenting Mr. Hume. his
Lordship said he had but one thing to say, that they snould get
a promise from the illustrious Prince at the other table, to honour
them with his presence next year.
The Duke of Sussex assented to this. . _

Coke gave the health of a ;;li,--who through the whole of
of his Alaksty's dominions stood higher in estimation than any
man living—t' Mr. Ilume"—(ixcessive applause.)
Mr. flume returned thanks at great length.
The Duke of Sussex rose amidst loud Minas, and said that
he should now turn the attention of the company from a dark
subject to one of the brightest lustre. (Applause.) After
dwelling on the neatness of the village of llolkham, and the
happiness diffused on all around by Mr. Coke, he said it' they
looked back on all he had done as a steward under Providence.
they must exclaim, blessed indeed was that man—who had such
a retrospect to repose his mind upon ! (Cheers) Though he we
bound to say the Speaker was the first Commoner in the realm.
r. Coke was undoubtedly ,the seeml. (Cheers greatly pro-
longed.)
Mr. Cake was too much overcome to express himself. Ile had
through life endeavoured to promote the good of his country.
lie hoped he was not presumptuous, but he thought he had
established an intercuarse with his tenantry which was must
cordial and affectionate. . .

—.-.... .....
Lord Nugen,," who returned thanks.
Lord Albemarle proposed 6. the taut of the House of
I lel kl lain."
Mr. Coke returned thanks, and proposed the Ladies of
N.,rfolk," after which he proceeded to the distribution of prises,
and fist he begged Sir John Sinclair's acceptance of a silver
Vise, as a testimony of his great approbation of the Code of
Agriculture," which he believed the best book on Agriculture
to be found, and of his wad and services in promoting the niost
useful arts.
Sir John Sinclair in thanking Mr. Coke, said this was the
happie:r moment of his life. In his family there was a You
which belonged to the unfortunate Mary Queen of Saar...a relic
which they highly prised, but this gni he should consider as
still more precious.
The other 'Macs were then distributed, and no one could
" mark unmoved the cordial greeting of the soul," with whit
the founder of this Drarrrumorc presented the successful can •
didates with the tributes to that attention to Agriculture which
he so anxiously labours to promote.
Mr. Coke then addressed the company on the objects of the
Meetings, its various results, and his opinions of breeds of stock
and articles of produce. Mr. Coke finally proposed the health of
the Duke of Sussex, which was drunk with increased applause.
nix Royal Highness spoke at great length, and concluded by
proposing Mr. Blaikic's health, when Mr. Coke passed a high
eulogium on Mr. IL who, he said, was in theeapacitv of a set.
rant, but lie would call him a friend on whom he could always

rely.'
The company then departed from the teens of three days most
pure enjoyment.

The governors of Bridewell-hospital gave orders
a short time since, to all the persons occupying the
houses on the north side of the building, to quit,
with the view of enlarging the prison, for the pur-
pose of the classification of the prisoners, and other
internal improvents. A corn mill is to be erected,
and no more oakum is to be picked; the occupation
nut being considered laborious enough.
