The Under-Sheriff who was fined 51. by Lord
F.i,t.F.nioaouna for Ed refing fiknce in Court,
complains that the decifion is very liven, as ir E drd
not open his mouth.
The Woburn Sheep-fhearing commenced on
Monday. The Dute.of BF DFORD, floor motives
which may tarsi), be conceived, was not relent,
anJ, in confequence, the whole was under the di-
reftion of Lord SOMERVILLE. Many of the firft
agricultuiitis in the kingdom were prefent, but
the company was by no means fo numerous as lalt
year. The hale of flock was very brilk, and all
the lots were fold at high prices. Eighty (even
guineas were given for a (core of ewes. The de-
cilion on the prize.cattle was to take place yefter-
day. . About three o'clock the company retired to
the Abbey to dinner; as foon as they had taken
their feats, a gloom was calf on the countenances
of all prefent, for the chair where the late much-
lamented Duke ufed to lit was by defign left va-
cant, and a plate fet before it, turned up. Lord
SOMERVILLE prefided as Chairman on the right of
this chair. About five o'clock the company left
the Abbey for the Park Farm, when molt of the
Leicellerfitire rams (hewn in the morning were lett
at good prices. Ten Herefordthire cows, and two
bulls were hold at a high rate. Mr. SALMANt the
refident Surveyor, has invented a very capital
thrashing mill, which is fo portable, that it can
be all taken in a waggon, and completely fixed
up in barn in the courfe of a few hours.
Tuefday morning, at ten o'clock, the company
left the Abbey, and proceeded to the Park Farm
Yard, and infpeeted the fheep.fhearers.
Five three (hear cups were fliewn in the exhibi-
tion room, and ten two-(hears. Two hundred and
forty hreeding South Down Ewes and Theaves
were then exhibited in pens in the park, and fold
by auelion by the bailiff; they were fold in lots of
ten and twenty each; and fuch an opinion had the
company of the bred, that home of them aftually
fetched 41. cos. per head. The principal bidders
were gentlemen of rank; fume of them fold only
at 11. 18s. a head, but, upon the whole, they
fetched very high prices.
Mr. Pickford, the great waggon-mafter of
Market greet, exhibited a Sow Pig, not two years
old, which weighed about 70 lone, which bad been
principally fed ui.on peafe. He likewife exhibited
a Boar for the prize, not nine months old.
The late Duke had extended the objeels of this
truly noble fete, not only to pradical agriculture,
but likewife to the liberal and ufeful arts; and
we were pleafed on the, prefent occafion again to
fee a number of intelligent and ingenious men,
from all parts of the United Kingdom, mingling
with the agriculturifts and breeders, and exhibiting
their refpeelive arts and inventions.

At three o'clock the principal part of the corn.
party adjourned to the Abbey to dinner, where a
molt elegant dinner was provided for about 200,
in the ancient hall. The Chair, formerly filled by
the late Duke, was again left vacant—Lord So-
MERVILLE fat on the right of it, and Mr. COKE, of
Norfolk, on the left, as managers. An adjoining
room was likewife filled with company.—After
dinner Lord SOMERVILLE gave—
The King.
ro the Memory of the fate Duke of &thfurd.
After which Mr. Yews+ G, Secretary to the Board
of Agriculture, addreffed the company by calling
their attention to a letter be had that day received
from the Duke of BEDFORD, in London, which his
Grace direded him to read to the company.
The letter Rated, that it was his Grace's inten-
tion to carry into effea the deligns of his late
brother to the fullelt extent, and to continue this
meeting; and as he knew it was his brother's in-
tention to dilconlotte offering premiums for the
encouragement of the breeds of South Downs and
Leicetterthire !heel), as he was perliraded his objeft
had been anfwereti by the extention of thefe breeds,
particularly in the South Downs, which bad made
confiderable progrefs in the county, he Hmid,
therefore, difconunue offering any premiums on
this head, but thould offer premiums for all dittind
breeds of fheep, for the purpofe of trying experi-
ments; he, therefore, propofed to purchale twenty
of every breed of theep throughout the country,
and to pay all travelling expences of any breeder
from any part of the country, who chore to fend
them, to be delivered at Woburn between the 13th
of September, and the isth of I:Mober, and the
effects of the different experiments to be made
known at the (beep (hearing 1803. It was limed
to be his• Grace's intention to continue the premi-
ums to Shearers, being convinced of neat and dote
clipping being a confiderable Ewing, and of national
utility.

and his Grace's health was immediately drank,
which was followed by—
