which, on account of these sheep, when alive, hav-

deficient in merit, he was anxious, before" the regu-
lar time of slaughtering and of returning the dead-
weight to ;he Club, to have them killed and submit-
ted to the inspection of the numerous company ex-
pected on Monday, and who gave them a consider-
able deal of attention. On these carcases were labels

Before slaughtering, these sheep were shorn, and
produced 18!b. of wool, which sold in the grease, as'
it Was, to Mr. Newel, for 3s. per lb. or 18s. for the
wool of each of these wethers.
At three o'clock the Members of the Club assem-
bled very numerously, at Freemasons' Tavern, and
held a meeting, Thomas Mellish, Esq. in the Chair,
who read to the Meeting a letter that he received on
Sunday from the Marquis of Tavistock, stating that,
highly flattered as he was by the honour done him
by 40 respectable and useful a body as the Smithfield
Club, his own sense of unfitness- for the office of
their President must compel him to decline accepting
it • adding, " but in so doing, I must assure you,
Halt I do not yield to my late uncle or my father, in
estimating the object of the Society to be most nearly
connected with the national prosperity."
Sir JOHN SEBRIGHT then rose and proposed, and
Lord Bradford seconded, that Thomas William
Coke, Esq. be requested to accept the office of Presi-
dent, end that the Stewards do convey this request ,
of the Club to him. .
The Meetiug then proceeded to complete the ar-
rangements of the Committee of Management agreed Bow-STREET.—Yesterday Ann Berridge, a young

We cannot quit the presence of your Royal Highoem. with-
out offering cur humble tribute of adininstiim to the recent ad-
ditional proofs of skill and %Moor displayed by the Allied Ar-
mies under Field-Marshal the Marquis of Wellington, within
the boundaries of ancient France. It would be but faiat com-
mendation of the reiterated glorious exploits of that great
Commander, and his gallant forces, were we nu this occasion to
express our feelings in the usual language of panegyric. His

POLICE.
--.....--

The determination manifested throughout the United Pro-
vinces of the Netherlands, to shake off the yoke of France, and
to lc-establish in their Government that Illustrious Family to
whom thel originally owed their liberties, was well calculated
to call forth, auionest all classes of his Majesty's subjects, that
sympathy mid exultation in which you so largely participate,
and which strongly cram.' the characteristic generosity of a free
people.
1 look forward, with the utmost satisfaction and confidente,
to the renewal of the Kline (dewily intercourse and connection
between that country and Great Britain, which experience has
proved so be equally important to the true interests of both, and
to the independence and security of Europe.
The sentiments is hick you have expressed on the deliverance
of the ancient inheritance of my family from the dionitibm of
the enemy, could nut fail to be pcculi,rly grateful to my feel-
ings.
That unexampled career of victoryq, which, through the fx=
your of Divine Providence, has attended the arms of his Majes-
ty, under the command of Field-Marshal the Marquis of Wel-
lington, awl those of his Mkjesty's brave Allies on she Conti-
nent, affords the fiirest prospect of ultimate and complete suc-
cess; aid I am persuaded that you are animated by it firm con-
viction, tout ii is only the following Ito with unabated vigour
the advantages already obtained, that the grept object ran be
accomplished, of rehiring to this country, and to Europe, the
blessitigs of an honourable and lasting peace.
They Were all very graciously received, and had
the honour of kissing the hand of his Royal High-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN.

perceive there is a Letter signed EPPING..
NAN Wit.son, in your Paper of this evening, which
contains many unhandsome and unfounded reflec-
tions on rne. I used Mr. Wilson's address, because
•I had been in the habit of having letters recently ad-
dressed there, when he was my Publisher. I cannot
enter into any controversy with Mr. %rims, whom
I did not mean to injure or ()tend; I shall, therefore,
pass over his illiberal assertions and insinuations,
with informing you, that when Mr. WILSON referred
me to Mr. SIBLEY, there was more than one witness
present In his shop; nor did my reasons for addressing
the Admiral rest upon the shallow basis Mr. WILSON
has assumed.

Without meaning to hurt the feelings of Admi,
rat GRAVES, it may be allowed me publicly to
state, that I never, in any manner, directly or indirect-
ly, sought the honour of his acquaintance. My letter
afforded that officer a desirable opportunity of vindi-
cating his character from unpleasant animadversions,
61 which he has not availed himself. Were Ito in-
dUlge in severity of comment, I should pity an Ad-
miral who required a certificate of character from
Mr. ESTINGUAK WILSON.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
