SALE OF FARMING STOCA: AT 8UR117:M..;17.

NIKE.

It has been both the boait -and the advantage of
this country, that attention to agriculture has long
been tts'e habit of the Most distinguished chartiderst
for rank ante talent. IV this- heaps the stable re-
sources of the country have been augmented, And a
smiling pea)antry haVe been_ accompanied with na-
tional strength. The time of Bakewell excited the
enterprise of otherS. In the late 'Duke of Bedford
the country lost one of the ablest agriculturists and
the most.geoetous patron of-husbandry. We have,
however, stilt Ellunar', Gulley, and Westcar ; but
we regret to find ' that the late sale at. Burnham
alike has deprived us of the exertionsand judgment
of Mr. Wakefield, whose extensive and valuable-
- stock is now dispeesed.-
: Mr.Waltefield did not confine his exertions to one
department of husbandry-the flock, the drove, and
the draft, were equally the objects of Isis attention,
• 'and in-the late sale it wag difficult to say which was
most admired, . his South Down sheep, his Devon
stock, or his Stiffollthorses. •, it required no com-
mon share.of judgment to sate-Such a stock as was
submitted to sale by Mr. Wakefield; and though the
rare and astonishing -priCes- at 'which they were
knocked down excites the wonder of those unac-
quainted-with agricultural pursuits, the experienced
s:trmer well knows that Mr. Wakefield's unsparing
,expcnce of money and exertion In the collettion of
this. stock have not been too liberally rewarded. •
We. cannot but consider Mr. Wakefield's aban-
donment of agricultural pursuits As a great national
loss for though some little advantage may be de- •
\ rived in particular districts from the dispersion of his
stock, yet it .can never. balance the great injury
arising from the close of a concern which afforded so..
perfect a lesson to every farmer.
While Burnham Wikc, continued in the posses
slob of Mr. Wakefield, an annual dispersion of the
best stock was sure to 'improve: the breeds. of the
kingdom, and the economy of his farm was a never-,
failing source of instruction to the numerous per-sons
who came to view it.. If any merit Is due 16 the
plan of farms, under the direakin of
the Board of Agriculture, how deeply is the loss of
such a farming establishment as Burnham. alike to
be regretted, It is an additional source of regret,
when we recolleet that Mr. Wakefield has aban-
doned his farming pursuits in-the prime of life; and
when his experience, his matured judgment, and
his valuable colletliOn of stock; were •beginning to •
confer such great and lasting benefits 'on his coun- •
try. Bedfordshire has lost a Duke of Bedford; •Lei-
Cesteeshire,. a Bakewell; and Essex-has now lost a
' Wakefield.

We never witnessed a sale more numerously at-
tended, and the prices were proportioned to the
eigerness. which was felt by those present to obtain
some part of so celebrated a stock.

ABRAHAM NEWLAND, Esci..—„,l neeonclua of this.
Gentleman during .the long periOd. that be had been
in public employment, bolds forth such an example
of diligence and probity, as entitles him to the rer
spe6t of mankind. There is no instance on record
of any public officers, who, with reference to the
extent of the' duties entrusted to them, ever dis-
charged those duties in a more honoUrable manner.
The circumstance that marked his retirement fidly-
coincides. with all the other valuAle qualities which
constitute his obaraaer. Having acquired consider-
able property by a faithftil and zealous rierforMance
of Ws,duty, he refused that remuneration which has
hitherto been assigned in such cases, and would
ceiVe no more than a complimentary present, in tes-
timony, of the esteem and respect of his late-employ-
This condua evinces a true independent spirit,
which places his chargter iri a still more honourable
point of view, and is as distant from pride as from
avarice. That ha may long enjoy the fortune he has
so well deserved, must be the sincere wish of his
-fellow-citizens in general,, as well as of the wile
circle of immediate friends who well know that his
private worth corresponds with that sense, of pnhlic
duty which 'has been his invariable principle of ac-
tion.
