LEWES, AUG. 9.

THE Anniversary Show of Cattle and Sheep, for
• the Premiums given by the SUssex _Agricultural So-
-ciety, held here on WednesdaY•last, was, as .usual,
very 'numerously attended. The fields in -which the
animals were exhibited, were crowded with a large
assemblage of amateurs of the first fashion, as well
as distinguished breeders from every part Of ;the
United Kingdom. •
After the Company had sufficiently.gratified their
anxiety in the field,- they'retired to the White Hart
Inn, where about 20C sat down to dinner, among
whom we observed' the Earl Of EGit EM6NT (in the
Chair),. Lord GAGI., Lord SIIF.FF I ELD, Sir T.
FR ANKLAND, Sit C. BISSHOPP, Messrs. PAR MEN-
TI ER and HOUCHARD, Members of the French In-
. sti tate Nationale, 'with. a: long et ca" tera of the
most distinguished - breeders in the agriCultural
worll The KING, the PRINCE Of WALES, and
other usual. toasts having. *gone round, the Earl of
EGREMONT informed the- Meeting, that the time
for which : the Subscription in • support of the in.
stitution had been originally entered into, had ex-
pired.. His Lordship then proposed, that a New
Subscription should take place for the ensuing five
years, and offered fifty guineas annually •for that pe-
riod ; several other Gentlemen subscribed their names,
and we have no doubt but every. support will be
given to an Institution which embraces as its objed
the best interests of the Public, with the particular
advantage of the, County of Sussex. His Lordship then
gays the healths.of Messrs. PARmENTIER and Hoy.
c 11AR 9,ancl the Agricultural Societies in Fra-nce,add-
ing, that those Gentlemen had visited this Country,
after a ten -years war, for the express purpose of
beingpresetwat the exhibition Of that day, and thus
enabling themselves to judge of, and explain in their
own Count ry,wha t had been &Me-here to advance the
intereSts. Of Agriculture, 'Which, he, added, was-
one of the first and best arts of Peace,- and pro.:
moted exclusively the true interests and happiness
of tpankind. The French Gentlemen expressed their
thanks' in very polite terms, and gave, " Prospe-
rity and success to. Agriculture _all over the world,
and may every. Agricultural Society associate with
that at Lewes." The Earl of EGREMONT then gave
" The Memory of the late Duke of BEDFORD,"
a sentiment which seemed to operate' with elelric
force,on the feelings of the company. His Lordship
began' to explain, the intention of the late Duke's
friends to ered a-Monument to his Memory, but such
was the poignancy of his feelings on the occasion,
that for a few thomentS he was unable to proceed ;
recovering himself, his Lordship stated the motives
whiCh had influenced the deceased- Duke in his
general condua, and who, he said, had devoted
the whole of his matchless talents and ample fortune ,
to the diffusion of knowledge, and the benefit of so-
ciety. A. subscription , from those present who had
not subscribed before, was entered into, and added
to the general fund.
The judges then:made their reports, as usual, on
the merits of the cattle, sheep, and fleeces, which
his Lordship read to the meeting.
The other decisions having been made, and Mr.
EL LMAN'S CupS presented, Lord EGREMONT, with
the rest of the company, repaired to the fields to
view the prize • animals, which had been detained
there for that purpose.

At Ashford Wool Fair, on Monday last, Lord
SONDES presided. A very large assemblage, of
growers attended; but two staplers only were pre-
sent.

At Lindfield Fair, on Thursday last, lambs
fetched from 18s. to 3os. per head.
Thursday two Troops,of the Second Regimedt of
Dragoon Guards (Scotch Greys) marched into this
town, where they halted for the night ; and on Fri-
day recotnmenced their march, for coastink_duty in
the Eastern part orthis county. The appearance of
the above regiment
(is very little altered since it
was quartered in, SLAiex lour or five and twenty
years ago. • , ,

• The Rev. WM. GRIFFITHS, Vicar of St. Issey,
near St. Columb,t .on Saturday • morning, the 3 st
ult. took his horse, and said, that he intended to go
to Lanherne (a seat of Lord ARUNDEL, about two
miles from St. Columb) to see the Nuns, and that if
he did not return to St. Issey to dinner, he should
dine at St. Columb, and return home in the evening.
On his not returning to St. Issey, as expeaed, Mrs.
Griffiths grew very uneasy, and sent several per-
sons in search of him on Saturday night, but in vain
and on Sunday morning his horse was found in a
field near the cliff at Mawgan, and his whip was
stuck up 'near the cliff. As he had been seen there
riding to and fro several times on Saturday after-
noon, it was immediately conjeaured that he had
fallen over the cliff into the sea. On searching
the cliff, his body was discovered under water,
and was drawn up by ropes ; but though the cliff
was very high and rugged, he did not appear to be
much bruised by the fall ; his spurs were found one
in each pocket of his coat, and a gold ring in -his
coat pocket. The Coroner (Mr. Hamley of Bodmin)
was sent for immediately, and the Jury brought in
their verdift " Accidental Death." He has left a
widow and five-young children to mourn the loss of
an affeaionate husband -and a tender father. The
living of St. Issey, about cool. a year, is in the gift
of the Bishop of EXETER.'
A Mr. HAWKINS, of New-York, has construaed
a new. musical. instrument which he calls a Claviol.
The music is produced from gut strings by a rosined
horse-hair bow, and TS' played with finger-keys like
the harpsichord. :The tones which this instrument
produces, are stated to possess-the sweetness of the
Harmonica, the richness of. the Violin, and the
grandeur of the organ.

Monday two Soldiers of the Second Regiment
of Guards, were fully committed from Bow-street,
for trial, for robbing T. WARNPR,'OIEast Afton,
of his money, as he was walking past Shepherd's
Bush, on the Afton road, on Saturday night last.
