VEstritoAy niorning Lord SONl,Bitvit4i,,--:and,
a great number of Agriculturists and .Breeders,
again assembled at Langhorn's Reposi,cory,
bican, when the Judges proceeded to examine the
merits of the Oxen and Sheep exhibited for the prizes
offered by his Lordship. A great number of MI,
proved implements in agriculture were exhibited,
At three o'clock the meeting adjourned tO'theFree.
masons' Tavern, where.his Lordship entertained in
the most liberal manner about two hundred Gentle.
men. About six o'clock his Lordship took the
Chair in the Great Hall ; the Duke of BEDFORD
being on his right hand, and the Marquis of SLIGO
on his left. After dinner his Lordship gave,

The Khtg, and thanks to hint for the honour he has done
the Society. (Alluding to His Majesty having sent two
Oxen to be exhibited.)
The Queen and Royal Family.
The intim, and thanks to them for their kind attention.
Farming Societies in every part of tbe Worid, not forgetting
those in Ireland.
Good Grazing, and a short time to pad it.

His Lordship then,addressed the Meeting, in a
neat. and appropriate speech, respeCting the different
Candidates who offered. themselves for his prizes.
He stated, that the Umpires he had appointed had
paid very great attention, and had spared no pains
to investigate the merits of the different oxen and
sheep offered for the prizes.—They had adjudged,
For the best yoke of fat oxen, who have laboured a given
period to provide cons and other food tor man, but never once
consumed it, to the Duke of Bedford ;el.
For the second class, or second-best yoKe, to Mr. Ed-
monds, provided his oxen dts not exceed the limited weight ;
if that should be the case, then the prize to be awarded to
Mr. Martin.

Tor the best ewe hogs, or one year olds, not in lamb, to
Mr. Edward Smith 301. -
The second glass, tbr the best fat wethers, four or six
tooth sheep, to the Duke of Bedford 201.

His Lordship said, he hoped those who had not
been successful this year would not be daunted, but
that they would be mote diligent in their exertions
to excel another year. His Lordship then gave,
Improved Husbandry, and increasing Commerce, and long
may their Interests be inseparable.

The Duke of BEDFORD proposed the health of
his Lordship, which was drank, with great applause
with three times three. Lord SOMERVILLz said, he
felt himself extremely flattered by the manner in
which his health had been drank, and thanked the
Gentlemen for the honour they had done him by
their attendance. His Lordship rose again, and in-
formed the meeting, that he had not only a wish to
improve the carcasses of sheep,but likewise the wool;
he had therefore procured the assistance of some of
the first judges of wool, as well as manufaliurers,
to assist: the judges in their determination of its
worth, and-their decisions were,

Mr. Chapman's. rs. 6cl. per lb.—Mr. Ellman's as. 3(1.—

—The Duke of Bedford's, from Maulden Farm, at Mautden,
Bedfordshire, u. rd.—Mr. Runciman'6, of Woburn, as. ad.
Mr. Smith's 24.11 d.

Lord SoNtE RV I 1.1. r gave a tong statement of the
improved state of wool, and the prices since the
year. 1792 ;, and his Lordship contended, that al.
though a few pence in a pound may appear trifling,
yet t goo Sheep he had . known it pay the rent
of. the Farm- and in pia state►nents he was eon.
firmed by an eminent dealer in wool.
His Lordship they► read a letter, which he. had
received from Mr. NicitoLs, whoproposed, that a
deptit should be opened, untier .the management .of
a Committee of Agriculturists in London, for the
reception of all improved implements in AgricUl„
tore, and every improvement: relative there.
to ; likewke for a Library to be opened, where
every Publication relative to Agriculture should be
kept ;, and that Ledures on Ag`iiCtiltitreishould be
delivered at stated times, which he would himself
undertake to deliver, without any remuneration,
provided a better could not be found. His Lord.
ship paid many handsome compliments to Mr.
Ntcnot.s, and assured him .all'clue attention would
be paid, to his proposal, which had his most hearty
concurrence.

Mr. NICHOLS' returned his Lordship thanks for
the flattering manner in which his proposal had' been-
received. He added, that Gentlemen.. engaged in
agricultural pursuits frequently went to inspeO
improved implements that were to be sold in
London, and found persons,completely unqualified
to explain how they were. to be used, by which
means instruments of great merit got into disrepute.
Many Gentlemen, he further observed, resided six
months in the year in London, who were engaged
in Agricultural pursuits ; if such an establishment
was farmed, they would have an opportunity of
frequently meeting, and when Gentlemen and.
Farmers came from the country, they would know.
where to resort to for information.
