MONDAY.-FIRST DAY.

.....
About ten o'clock, Mr. COKE and his numerous
friends inspected the bay .making machine, which
was at work in the Park opposite the Hall.
The company then rode to a piece of cock's-foot
grass, on which Mr. COKF'S sheep had been feeding.
On this spot the merits of the folding system were
discussed.
_ _

Mr. BENNETT gave a dear and minute account of
the folding system, as practised by him in Wiltshire,
and contended that it was preferable in every respect,
that a larger portion of land was manured at less ex-
pense, that the sheep were equally healthy and sub-
ject to little less. _ _ _ _ _ _

Mr. COKF, on the contrary, said, that although
some advantage was gained as to manure by folding,
yet he had proved by experiment beyond a doubt,
that the sheep were not so healthy, and that the
quantity of land which by a different practice he was
enabled to manure, more than counterbalanced an
advantage gained by folding.
The company then went to see a piece of sainfoin,
where the effects of gypsum had been tried as a ma-
nure, conformably to a promise•given at last year's
meeting. Mr. COKE said, that the gypsum had been
laid on at the rate of six bushels per acre, and that the
result had exceeded his most sanguine expectations.
Mr. COKE and his friends then returned to the Hall,
where more than 300 persons sat down to dinner in
the Statue Gallery And adjoining rooms. Grace
being said, Mr. COKE gave in succession—Constitu-
tion and King—Live and let live—Good use of the
plough—the Independept Yeomanry of Norfolk—
the Enclwaires of Wastes.

Mr. Con: now gave the health of Sir J. Sinclair.
Sir JOIIK SINCI,AIR returned thanks for the honour
done him ; and proposed the health of Mr. Coke,
which was drank with three times three.
Mr. COKE returned thanks.

The next toast was, " The High Sheriff of the
County"—" Good fleeces, both long and short .wool."
" The Duke of Bedford, and the House of Russell
—a name (said Mr. Coke) that will be dear to every
Englishman, as long as liberty is valued : let us not
forget, Gentlemen, what we owe to the blood of that
family." The Noble Duke's health was drank with
three times three and every mark of approbation.—
His Grace, who presided at the second table, return-
ed thanks.

Mr. COKE then gave—The best of good men, the
Lord Bishop of Norwich ; which was drank with
distinguished marks of approbation ; after which Mr.
Archdeacon BATIMRST briefly returned thanks.
Mr: COKE then gave—The health of Lord Al-
bemarle.
Mr. COKE then gave—The health of Mr. Owen,
of Lanark ; and invited the company to asiemble at
the Hall at ten o'clock the nest morning, when Mr.
Owen would exhibit his Plan of a new Society for
bettering the condition of the Poor, &c. and deliver
a Lecture upon the subject.
Mr. Owrx returned thanks, and stated at some
length the reasons which had induced him to apply
so great a portion of his time to the subject. He
pointed out the advantages that would arise to indi-
viduals and to the nation at large from its general
adoption.
Mr. COKE then gave—The health of Lord Brad-
ford, with three times three, and called upon him
for a song, a request with which his Lordship oblig-
ingly complied.
