Hosmuaini
y BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
.A year 1790, I had been afflicted with the lases Venereal,
which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine
prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and no
dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
charged fYitin the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
he of the mast inveterate nature. In tic spring of last yeas
my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period
to my existence—l lAM a large ulcer on the..crown of my head,
one on each arm, and my legs _were broke out in a frightful
manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a
state of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had also
two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, 'and gave
tar such excruciating pain, . particularly when warm in bed,
as nearly to deprive me of rest; in this lamentable state, I
was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received Sit
great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills,
which I began to do on the (26th o. May; • in the course of a
fortnight I began to receive beitek—in little more than a
month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly healed,-
soon. after, the sores on sty legs healed also ; leaving, how-
ever, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the
b►iue. of the left, which, by the blesEitig of God, me,l a little
longer pet severance in your invaluable Medicine, sub/sided ;
the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and
thy nocturnal pains gradually going thtis became, by
your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free front all my
former complaints—have recovered my former spirits a nd
strength, and am become jolly acrd fat, in which state oaring-
continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew
tie, I ant at a loss in what treats to express u►v gratitude, hut
beg you for the good of other suffering mortals, to make
this my case as public as possible., as I shall on every occa-
sion; in so doing you will greatly oblige,

AGRICULTURE.

HOLKHAM SHEEP SHEARING, MO2/DA5.*, JULY 1.

(From the County Chronicle.)
The company assembled on the lawn about half-past ten ;
soon after Mr. COKE appeared, accompanied by. his Royal
Highness the Duke of SUSSEX; and proceeded to inspect the
different gradations of preparing fiax by machinery from the
rough state until it is spun into yarn. The work was done
chiefly by children, who performed the labour with considerable
activity and adroitness. The machine for the breaking of the
flax stalks is v-:•ry simple ; it consists of -two rolls, armed with
bars of iron, through which the flax is pulled by the children.
The upper roll is constructed so as to lift it up, which is per-
formed by a foot-board, to which is attached a spring commu-
nicating with the upper roll. The instant the .foot is raised
from the board the roll flies up, .and the flax is quickly placed
between the teeth. This work has .been introduced by Mr.
Coke since the meeting last year, at which one of these ma-
chines was exhibited, and speedily adopted by Mr. Coke, as it
afforded a means of employing the children. of the adjacent vil-
lan•es. The company, after this pleasing spectacle, -rode to
Longlandst Farm. In the progress to the farm, Mr. Coke point-
ed out a piece saintfoin mowing, which had been laid down for
13 years. In the proper course he stated this land should have
been ploughed seven years since; but in consequence of Mr.
Holditch's recommendation, it had been manured with gypsum,
which had so completely restored it to its . original vigour, that
it this year bears a luxuriant crop, and upon the average had
produced last year one ton per acre more than it :would other-
wise have done. The cavalcade next arrived at Lon lands,
where the prize stock and implements were exhibited. The im-
plements consisted of a drill roll for light lands, invented-by
Mr. Johnson of Hampton ; it consisted of a roll with the usual
apparatus for sowing. The machine was provided with small
wheels with buckets, which received a certain quantityof seed for
distribution, and apportifined it regularly through the conductors
to the ground. The principal objection to this implement ap-
peared to be its size and weight. A plough with a drill attached
to its side was also shown.; the scuppers were adapted to any
grain. It was calculated' for ploughing and drilling at the
same instant. Mr. Coke theft led tie way over the Quarks,
Waterden, and Egmere Farms. The state of cuLivation and
fine crops of these farms drew from the visitors frequent expres-
sions of admiration. The company returned to dinner about
four o'clock. When the cloth was drawn, Mr. Coke rose to
express his acknowledgments to the RoyaDuke, to the many
Noblemen, illustrious Foreigners, and celebrated Agriculturists,
who had done him the honour to .attend the meeting. This
meeting, Mr. Coke said had been originally held for the benefit
of agriculture, and for the benefit of the county of Norfolk.—
This meeting had extended itself, and he hoped it had also ex-
tended its benefits, all over the world. . He tnen expressly stat-
ed, that although at this meeting politics were not discussed,
yet, on the present occasion-, agriculture and the country heal ar_
rived at such a state, that he should not,. ,s there were so many
gentlemen so eminently,quadifled to.spenk on .such subjects,: so
entirely prohibit the introduction of political sentiments .as here-
tofore. Mr.. Coke said that he had always had an opinion tlat,

The Duke, of,.ussEx then rose, and after adverting, in the
warmest trims or approbation, to the obligations &testi) Mr.
Coke, gav6 his health, fry-%e-a ikaaas received wi ~that siniul-
titnaLs.ahout of feeling whi6 pains that it emanates from
the heart. After the applause had ceased,
Mr. CoKE rose to express his thanks for the kindness the
company had manifested to him. The Noble llost alluded to
the late Report of the Committee on Agriculture; it was a de-
lusion, a system which had been carried on for years : the Re-
port had been deceitfully drawn up. Mr. Coke- had never ex-
pected any good to arise from it ; and the farmer would be dis-
appointed of any assistance, so long es the present system was.
continued. Mr. Coke then complimented Mr. Hume on his
extraordinary exertions in the House, which had laid bare the
extravagance and patronage posgessed by the Government,'
which, if continued, precluded relief. So long as taxation ex-
isted, patronage would remain ; and while patronage remained,
the present system would continue. Actin..b on this principle,
all the present supporters would'soon desert the Ministry ; for
it was not from principle they supported the Government, but
from selfish motives. He should wish to have forborne to enter
upon politics, butit was impossible, in such times as these, for
men to conceal their feelings and opinions. It was time to tell
the former that the system which had been carried on—and
what they had been long before told—was a system of delusion.
Mr. Coke then alluded to the Hon. Member for Kent (Mr.
Honywood), from whom some knowledge might be gained,
whose county is called the Garden of England ; and truly it
might be called so,. since it grows very fine gooseberries. Ile
thought the Hon. Gentleman would give some credit to Nor-
folk for its agriculture. Mr. Coke, in allusion to the late re-
peal of the Agricultural HOrse Tax, said that Ministers had it
forced upon them, for they could not get their creatures to' vote
for it, and therefore they gave it up. He was sorry that Mr.
Curwen, after the exertions he had used to repeal the Act,
should be weak enough to get up and compliment Lord Lon-
donderry.for granting it as a boon : it -was no boon : the far-
mers derived no good from it. Ministers would, lie thought,
be forced into much more ; but if they did not do what was ad._
vantageous for. the 'country, the freeholders had no right to
complain, for it depended on their votes. Mr. Coke then gave
—" Mr. Honywood."
Mk. HO±,TYWOOD briefly returned thanks by saying, that he
should not enter into a discussion as to which of the two counties
of Norfold and Kent was the garden of England, as the odds
were greatly against him ; but he said that Kent produced ex-
cellent wheat as well as fine gooseberries. They had seen this
day land of a superior quality, and in a high state of cultiva-
tion : they had also seen cattle of 2 years old larger than cattle
of three years old in Kent;
.and he hoped to return to his Con-
stithents with a specific for the breed of finer cattle.
" The plough, and good use to it:"
Mr. COKE, in proposing the health of Mr.-Benett, the mem-
ber for Wiltshire, alluded to the Merino sheep. He had, at
the wish of Sir J. Banks, tried that breed, and had great atten-
tion paid to them-but it failed. Mr. Benett had said his wool
remained on hand. Mr. Coke with touch pleasantry made
some remarks on the unprofitablencss of this Species of-sheep.
He strenuously insisted on the necessity of paying greater atten-
tion to stock and cattle.

Mr. BENETT, in rising to express his acknowledgments;
said, that however diffident he might have been in first address-
ing the House of Commons, he must now suffer under much
greater difficulty from the manner in which his health had been
given and drank, and he felt it as-the highest compliment that
could be paid ; and if he had wanted a stimulus to excite him
to•keep the course he had already adopted, that stimulus had
been given in the compliment just paid him. Mr. Benett then
-entered into a defence. of the Merino sheep ; he contended that
they were-more profitable than the South-down ; but maintain.
cd Norfolk sheep would not answer. Strong lands and lying
about would •not suit them, but the system pursued by Mr.
Benett kept them in good health.
" Mr. Western, -Member for Essex"—A gentleman to
whom, Mr. COKE said, the agriculturists were greatly
indebted for his exertions, particularly .for his late motion
for the repeal of the last new malt-tax, winch he hoped he.
would bring forward again, as he thought it would be
gained, inasmuch aS we should see- those, like an lion. Gent.
who lately complimented Mr. Hume, whom we are all glad ,to
see here—(Applause.)—we shall see those who voted for-the
estimates, vote for the repeal of that tax.
Mr. WESTERN, in returning thanks for the kind-and flat.-
tering manner in which his Honourable Friend had spoken of
hiM, said, that in adverting to this most important topic, no
relief could be obtained except by a diminution of taxation,
and he must confess that he considered this tax as one of the
burdens most oppressive to the Constitution, the people, and
the agriculturist. He (Mr. Western) pledged himself to move
for the repeal of the Malt Tax again and again. He called upon
the landed interest of Norfolk and Kent, and indeed upon the
whole landed interest, to unite their strength to triumph .over.
the evil, which, if gained, will 'be of importance to the welfare
of the Agriculturist, and benefit the' labouring classes'of the
country. Mr. Western then entered into detail in defence of
the Merino sheep. He thought the experiment should be ully.
and fairly tried.
-Mr. COKE, in giving Mr. • Gregg, of Hertfordshire, called
upon that Gentleman, in• a very pleasant strain, as he hat
v.sited at Quidenham, to give the compani, his opinion of Lord
Albemarle's farming. •
Mr. GREGG returned thankS in so low a tone that we could
hardly catch his meaning; but we understood him to say that
his Lordship's farm was iike himself—spotless.
Lord ALnisian.LE rose and said, a military friend had-suer,-
gested a simile to him, which was, diet his friend Mr. Coke had
in this case acted the part of the trumpeter, who did not engage
himscll but excited others to do it.---(Laughter.)
Much good natured sparring here took place between Lord
Albemarle, General Walpole, and Mr. • Coke, and which en-
livened the company for a considerable time. Mr. Coke then
rose and gave the health of the Earl of • Albermarle, 'who tie-
knowledged the compliment, with much humour.
. , Lord Erskine, to whom the country is greatly indebted."
Lord ERSKINE, in returning thanhs, alluded to the agricul-
tural report, and spoke highly of the abilities of one of the
Gentlemen. who drew up the report- He then pointed out two
passages in fiat contradiction to each other, and adverted to the
recommendation of economy by the 'Committee, when they had
rejected every thing proposed by Mr. 'Hume, but who; his Lord-
ship hoped, would be finally- successful .
My noble friend, Lord Crewe," who briefly returned thanks.
" Sir F. Burdett." _ _ _

A unanimous burst or feeling followed this toast, which con-
tinued for several minutes. The lion. .baronet rose, and re-
turned thanks in a long and eloquent harangue. After profes-
sing he had no acquaintance with agriculture, he said it was a
proud sight for an Englishman to see such .a meeting asi the
present. Agriculture had snffered excessively for w.iht of such
meetings. Cooperation wAs requisite, and agriculturists
should hold meetings, as .all men are entitled to do, to
consider their own • interests,_ and recolve to pursue such
measures as might seem necessary to their welt*: you
find yourselves, said the worthy .Baronet, in - a condition
of distress; but if you have sufficient energy, you will,
by you: exertions and your resources, be
,able to grapple
with this distress'; for remember that in your own exertions,.
and with a fair, just, and economical Government, must the
prosperity rest. Our forefathers truly said, that liberty and nro-
sperity are, and will always be, inseparably united. The Hon.
Baronet entered into a warm and glowing euloittril on the con-
st•tution, and of the Duke of Sussex, whom he described as the
ornament of his family. He then alluded to the Agricultural
Report, which he could not call a delusion. The•report agreed
s to the state of distress in the country, hut attributed the pres-
sure to the currency ; if thet were the cause there is a rcutedy,
as the debt was contracted in a depreciated currency, and paid
in a restored 'currency: the remedy was envious. Von Must re-
duce taxation, yoUr expellees, and the interest of tht, national
debt : justice should be tiene-none could complain, fur all

This morning's ride commenced with viewing the operation
of the roll for spreading hay.. The company assembled in front
.of the hall, between five and six hundred persons. The com-
pany next proceeded to view the exhijsition of Southdown rams,
wafters, and hoggets, in competition for the premium, at the
sheep-house in the park. The exhibition of the sheep-was
extremely good, and the competi.ors numerous.- Some very fine
Southdowns were exhibited by Mr. Reeve, Mr. Blyth, and
Mr. Hill, as extra stock. A very ingenious machine for clean-
ing wheat from hair-weed was exhibited, and fully answered
the purpose. Mr. Coke • then led the way to the village, where
several of the houses were inspected by the gentlemen, who
expressed the admiration and gratification they experienced from
the neatness and comfort every where displayed, as well as the
happiness depicted on • every countenance. We observed that
Mr. Coke was erecting a new house, which we understand is
intended for a public school—another proof of the care and at-
tention paid by that gentleman to the morals and education, as
well as happiness of his villagers. The great barn-yards afforded•
the company a very ratifying spectacle in the exhibition of the
numerous Devon bulls, heifers, and bullocks, both as extra
stock, and as competitors for Mr. Coke's preinituns. This show
was of a very superior description. About four o'clock upwards
of 500 noblemen and gentlemen sat. down to dinner. After the
cloth was drawn, Mr. Coke gave—
" His Grace the Duke of Bedford and the house of Russell,"
who, notwithstanding his indisposition, had done him the ho-
noureof attending this meeting.
The Duke of BEnronis was highly gratified by the honour
done him by Mr. Coke and by the company, although he could
have wished the pain of addressing the assembly could have
been spared him ; but still, attached as he was to agricultural
pursuits on various grounds, he wished to make one or two oh.
servations on the Agricultural Report. In consequence of the
distressed state of agriculture a Committee was appointed.
What their report was he needed not to describe, but it had
• been exceedingly unsatisfactory to those who expected some re-
dress. Whether it was diaivn up by the Chairman or Mr.
Huskisson was of no consequence, for it was not his intention,
nor was it the wish of the Noble Host to enter into party politics,
but he must consider this subject closely connected with agri-
culture, upon which our strength, our wealth, And our pro-
sperity depended. • With respect to the pretended boon, his •
Grace considered-it as an advantage, but to call it a relief was
palpably absurd, since it bore no proportion to the distress it
purported to alleviate..- It was as a drop of water in the ocean.
One of the causes of distress his Grace had heard the Prime
Minister of England himself assert to be a super-abundance
from excess of production ? What then, in such a case, became
of the industry, skill, and talent of the agriculturist? These
virtues became a mischief instead of a good, and thus, said the.
Noble Duke, my Hon. Friend Mr. Coke is the most mischievs
ous person in- the world. His Grace again returned thanks,
and said he had been taught always to look up to Mr. Coke as
the most perfect model of an Englishman—as a man zealously
and invariably exerting himself in the cause and fur the pro-
sperity of his country.
" A worthy branch of a Noble stock, the Marquess of Tavis-
tuck," who briefly returned thanks.
" Wm. Russell, Esq." who, in expressing his acknowledge-
ments, said, that.not to any merit of his own, but to the name
he bore, must be attributed the partiality of the company.
Mr. COKE, in proposing the health of Lord Althotp, alluded
to his Lordship's excellent breed of short-horned cattle. The
Noble Lord, in rising to retain thanks for the honour conferred
on. him by such assembly, said he was but a young agricul-.
turist. He might perhaps be expected to say something on the
subject of the agricultural report, because he was on the Com-
mittee. He had never expected any good to be derived from
it. Ills Lordship thought taxation the cause. of the distress ;
he was well aware, front the formation oftne Committee, that
this, which was the grand source, would not be touched upon ;
but any person would be able to &duce from the evidence on
the Committee, that taxation had produced the distress. Al-
though the Report itself was faulty, yetshe thought the evi-
dence would •led • the people tq, exert themselves to avoid the
distress. With respect to short-horned cattle, they were a very
excellent breed, came to a large size, and fatted in a short time.
Tice Devon he thought an excellent breed, but he was of opinion
that small beasts were better adapted to heavy soils, and large
cattle to light land.
" Lord -Nugent," who said lie owed much to Mi. Coke's
partiality. • He should not think highly of any titian's head or
heart, if he could quit the place without -full knowledge of how
a landlord might be illustrious, a tenant prosperous, and a la.:
bourer happy. Ilis Lordship perfectly Agreed with the other
Gentlemen es- to the impose of the Agricultural Report ; it en-
deavoured to keep alive a spirit of delusion for one year longer,
and to"divert the attention of the agriculturist from the excessive
taxation, for the.twofold purpose of administering to dill:then
vanities and gross corruption. There were still means to save
- the coinitry by a change of systernhy demanding from, eandis
dates for Parliament the pledge of economy. There were some
among the repiesentatiVes, truly honourable, and they were
backed by such 'men as the members for Essexe Sussex, •West-
minster, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, and. Kent—there
Lord Nugent pointed to. these several Members sitting . roundhim], and last, net. le.ast, their Hon. Ilest at the head of the
table. The following toasts were drank in succession The
High Sheriff—Breeding in all its branches-The Duke of
Norfolk—Lord .Arundel--The. French Consul—Count Za-
morvski."

------
The Duke of SussEx then proposed the health of Mi. Coke,
who having thanked the company in a neat speech, gave—"fir
John Sinclair," whom it gave Mr. Coke great pleasure to ace at
Heil:ham, and who had become a strenuous advocate for the drill
system.. The lion. host should beg to urge Sir J. Sinclair to
accept a piece of plate as a mark of his esteem, and for the
strenuous exertions he had made in support of Agriculture.
Sir J. SI C L AI R celt:highly gratified at the attention shown
him by Mr. Coke, ;and, ihough his endeavours had not been
crowned with the success he could have wished, he did not re-
gret the exertions he had made. - The Hon. Baronet concluded
by givirg ".Drilling in all its branches."
" The independent i'eoimmry of Norfolk."
" Mr. Owen; of Lanark," !Rill:, given, that Gentleman said
lie maid not agree that a reduction of expenditure and a re-
form of Parliament ,rapid give us the phosperity we • sought-
We were at this moment pressed down by the weight of inven-
tions and improvements, which, tinder a proper science and en-
lightened direction, would !easenti:dly meliorate. the condition.
and gladden the hci-at, of :very human being in existence: these
powers, when fairly put in action, might be easily 'applied to
create wealth until society shall be gorged with it, anti say we
have enough for all, and an unnecessary. superabundance to
spare beyond every possible want that can arise.. Their worthy
Host had found Ilonham a waste and a wild, and the few in-
habitants it kept pour and ignorant. You now see what it
a domain unrivalled 'in many respects by any other in the'
world, and the inhabitants.ar: increased sixfold, living in a de-
:,ree of comfort that must delight every one who has exam:nee.

Mr. Coxi.l then gave the health of Dr. Rigby, and the two
other Gen demen who came from Norwich to attend this tnee,•
ing, Mr. Unthank and Mr. Dalrymple. After thanking
Coke on his own part, and that of his friends from Norwich,
now, as the doctor observed, in the plural number, and afte.
briefly observing that it would prObably afford Mr. Coke satis-
faction to hear from him that Norwich was at this time in a
prosperous state, that
,its manufacture was flourishing, the Is -
bouring classes well einployed, i s population greatly increased,
new buildings contantly ri,,ing up, and the boundaries of the it: -
habited city rapidly extending, he begged to express to Mr. Co:-
the ;ratification and,instruction he had a erived from his presentvi
tol~lolki;ain. He then adverted to Mr. Coke's admirable syste::
of agriculture, and pointed out the excellent state of the severiil.
crops for conimendation. The Doctor next expatiated On the'
Agricultural Report, which he designated as one continued
ries of sophistry; fallacy, and contradiction, calculated, most.
obviously, to mislead the public mind on the subject of agri-
cultural distress, and for a while to stifle the feeling of coin.'
plaint and discontent. The principal source of relief, on tils
calamitous occasion, must be looked for, he said, in an effective
diminution of the public expenditure, and an adequate red::.-••
Lion of the public taxes.
" Mr. Hughes," a gentleman from Wiltshire, of whom. Mr.,
Coke, requested some information on wool.—Mr. Hughes re-
turned thanks, and.stated the different prices of wcol, the
of which he said was improving.
6°The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Earl Talbot."
" Mr. Burroughes, and Prosperity to the Agriculture of Ire.:
land." That Gentleman said he could assure the honourabLi
host he was as well known in Ireland as in England,.and hiS
country was neither backward in the protection of agriculturei-
nor in appreciating Mr. Coke's kindness and hospitality whirs:-.
many of his countrymen who had visited Holkham had expe,
rienced, and returned highly gratified with what they had sr:tia
and heard.

" Mr. Weeks, of America."
Mr. COKE said, every one knew his admiration of the Am
ricans for their manly assertion of their liberties. lie had
always • voted against the war with that country, and he was-
proud he had done so. He looked back with satisfaction
to that vote.: -He was the first, although it might not be-
known, who moved to put an end to the war, and the rah-
don was carried—the numbers being for the motion 17..,h
to 177. Alf. -Fox had suggested to biro that it shoni-i
be carried up to the Throne, which Mr. Coke did, and Lehi
North moved that it should stand over. The debate lasted
till seven in the morning, and he (Lord North) gave wel'i
and the address was carried ; and he went in the character of in
English Gentleman, in buck-skin breeches and boots. Mr. Coke •
then repeated, that till now he had always endeavoured at these
meetings to avoid politics, and only to enter into agricultural
diieussion. lie now, however, found, that in the depress... 4
state of hgricalture, it. was utterly impossible to do justice, un.

ofpreventing mo dons being made on the subject, and to prohibit its

'Committee have finished their Report. This was at least a
fallacy, and of a character with the Ministry. He should not be
worthy to Le the representative of Norfolk, e' id he not give tin rit
his opinion in manly arid independent language. We she azia
like to see two independent members returned,: -for he had he,
come tired of his situation. He wished to be where lie bre:tend
salubricais air, but in Parliament was nothing but corruption.----:
In town he never enjoyed his health; but the three days here
had completely restored him, and he could wish that the lest
day was as long as two. Mr. Coke again said, he was happV

that every day duving the war did he drink General- Washing-
ton as the greatest man on earth.
Mr. Wsires:s rose i, i behalf of his court vmen : he begged

him than the honour he had done his country. llohenam-hall,
he could assure Mr. Coke, was often thought of in America-._
He (Mr. Coke) lived in the hearts of the Americans, for the
friendly and kind manner in which they had been • received:
Mr. Weeks begged to think, " Prosperity to the agricultural
interest of our mother country, Great Britain."
" Mr. Sabatier, of Nova Scotia." ' The Hon. Gentleman re.
ttirned thanks, and entered into a lengthened detail .of the ad.

and Sir Alexander Cochrane.

" Mr. -Mackenzie, ,and the Gentlemen coming from a dis.
