BON MOT.—Mr. CONRAN, the celebrated Irifh
Barrißer, was force time fince pleading in the
Court of Chancery, when he complained of being
twice interrupted by the Lord Chancellor's Clerk,
whole name is Halfpenny. On the third interrup-
tion the Chancellor preremptorily ordered the
Clerk to fit down ; upon which CuRIAN exclaimed,
" My Lord, I thank you—you have at length
nailed the rap to the counter."

SOISIX AGRICULTURAL Marrisc.—The An•
niverfary thew of Cattle and Sheep for the pre
miums given by the Sae: Agricultural Society_
held at Lewes, on Wednefday LIR, was numeroufly
attended. Among the company were his Royal
Highnefs the Palm cs of WALE the STADTROLDER,
the Dukes of RICHMOND and BEDFORD; the Earl
of Eos amour, Lord PELNAM, and the Prefident
of the Board of Agriculture (Lord CARRI mcrora )
with a long train of the Nobility and Gentry, and
Breeders off' Cattle from every part of the United
Kingdom.

After the judges had examined the cattle ex.
hibited, and the company gratified their curiofity
in the field, they adjourned to the Star Inn, where
between two and three hundred fat down to din-
ner. The Earl of Eca■MoNT, Prefident of the
Society, took the Chair, and after having received
the report of the judges, in a handfome fpeech,
made their decifion known to the company. His
Lordthip then prefented the piece of plate given by
the Society, to Mr. ALFRIT, and after compli- '
menting him upon the breed of Rock he had (hewn,
challenged the cup himfelf, as did alfo Sir TeoMas
CAUL. Lord EGRIIIIONT afterwards noticed the
very liberal offer of a filver cup, value five guineas,
from Mr. Effuse, of Glyndc, for the bell one-
year old South Down Ram, got by a ram of his
breed, and with an appropriate addrefs, prefented
the cup to Mr. PACKHAM, of Charlfton.
Mr. Effuse then informed the Meeting, that
it was his intention to give a cup every year, of
the value of five guineas, upon the fame condi-
tions as the one then difpofed of.
The Earl of EGasswer next read a challenge
from Sir HINRY JOHN MILDMAY, to produce of
the Devonfhire breed at this Meeting a yearling
Bnft, a yearling Heifer, and a three year old
Heifer, for five guineas each, and ten guineas
the main, pay or play, againft an equal- num-
ber of the Suffer breed, which challenge had
I been accepted, and the Rock produced by Mr.
ALFILIT. Sir H. MILDMAY did not produce any
flock, thereby tacitly ceding the proud palm of
fuperiority to the Suffer breed. The company
then repaired to the field to view the feveral prize
'animals which were detained there for the purpofe.
Sir THOMAS Case's flock made a diftinguifhed
figure; he exhibited nearly fourfeore oxen, twenty
yoke of which were driven in one chain; and alfo
produced a coofiderable number of (beep.
Mr. Effuse produced for competition only
fps yoke of oxen, for which the judges awarded
him a premium. Twelve of Mr. Effuse's Ewes
and three Rams were driven into the thew field,
and were much admired by the amateurs.

We underiland the fweepilakes for the bell pen
of twelve South Down flock Ewes, were gained by
the following fubfcribers, vis.—
