.at an early hour, the 'corm.

burn Park,. and about eleven o'clock, His Grace

tlemen with him, at the Abbey, being arrived, the
exhibition of tlinew Leicester rams commenced.
A colossal figure in bronte, nine feet in height, rest-
ing the right hand on a plough, as H.)pe and other
figures have frequently been made to do upon an
anchor, with four emblematical figures at its feet,
(the model for casting which is in great forwardness),
which is to be erected in Russel.square, on a pe-
destal of granite, twenty-five feet high in the whole
the effect of which was shewn by a very good per.
spettive view of the Square, with the intended
Statue in its centre. On the pedestal, the following
inscription is intended :

" To the memory of Frtmgcrs, Duke Of BEOForso, this
Statue was erected by Public Subscription, in gratitude tOr
his Grace's unwearied endeavours to improve the theory and
practice of Agriculture."

Six Thousand Pounds have been received by the
Committee appointed for cresting this Statue, and
in small sums, a proof of the estimation in which
this Nobleman was held by many. In the course
of the forenoon, a party repaired to the Duke's
Mill, where a Steam Engine, perhaps the first ever
applied to the purposes. of Agriculture, hias lately
been eteaed. An extraordinary case was mention-
ed, of twenty.four ewes in HoWetness having this
year produced seventy fine Limbs, and which was
attributed by the narrator to their having lived -
luxuriously on green tares.
