Fifteen tups were let by auction for the ensuing
season in the Exhibition_room. About zso So.uth
Down ewes and themes were sold by anaion
from Pens in the Park, in lots of ten and twenty.
They did not fetch such high pfices as those sold in

Bath, exhibited his Map, now in very considerable
forwardness, of the Strata of the different Earths,
Stones, Coals, &c. &c. which constitute the soil Of
this Island. The ext raordinary degree of patient re.
iearch and investigation which Mr. S. has.for many
years carried on, n'it only. on'th. surface, but be;
low it, in the.tnitnerous Mines, Wells, &c. which
have been sunk in almost every part of the Coun-
try, promises to give his work a degree of scienti-
fic certainty hitherto unattained in Mineralogical
and Geological Publications. He was particularly
noticed by Sir JOSEPH BANKS.

Between twelve and one o'clock the company left
, the farm, and adjourned to Crawley Heath, where
the different implements that were offered for the
premiums were tried; and in addition to those we
bave 'mentionedwere Mr. Salmon's drilling machine,
calculated to. drill five rows of any sort of corn with..
out the possibilitv of going crooked: Mr. Wild's
patent harrow and scuflier. Mr. Runciman, of Birch-

and the illustrious House of RUSSELL ; to the me-
Mory of the late Duke of BEDFORD, was repeated a
second time on rising, with the addition of, and
may we never forget him.
Mr. COKE, as one of the Managers, rose evi-
dently under great embarrassment, and spoke as
follOws : It is a very painful office I have to perform
upon this:melancholy occasion ; and said, nothing
but the love he had for the late Duke could induce
him to undertake ii ; he had been requested by the
present Duke to represent his late Brother, he there_
. fore informed the Gentlemen, that the Judges whO
bad been appointed to investigate the different
Claimants' pretensions to Premiums, had adjudged,

While the company were at dinner, the Candidates
for the Premiums for the best Shearers were set to
work ; eight of them had four sheep each, and forty
minutes allowed them for each sheep, within which
time they sheared each sheep with the greatest ease ;
after which, Mr. ELMAN, Mr. WAKEFIELD, and
another well known judge, examined them, to decide
the premiums offered, but their decision was not
known this evening.
The Premiums, &c. offineny the Duke for the
next year, were made 'public in the Exhibition-
zoom.

About forty Devon, Kent, and Sussex cattle were
then sold by au Lion ; they fetched very high prices,
but not in proportion to the South Down ewes and
theaves which were sold yesterday ; their prices
were considerably enhanced by, three or four Gen-.
tlemen who bid against each other, and a few
pounds was no object to them. The South Down
three shear tugs were lett,
