meeting of the Friends of Agriculture and

Several resolutions were adopted, expressing
a sense OF the importance Of encouraging these

II is remarked by the Editors Of the Boston
Patriot, that from The circumstance Of the Brit
ish government having awarded a pension Of
twelve hundred pounds sterling 10 Sir Hudson
Love, it may be inferred tina, they held IN high
estimation the services Of this officer, while
jailer Of Bonaparte a, ST. Helena. Men Of no.
bic minds and generous feelings would not have
accepted the disagreeable duty which devolved
on Sir Hudson, but he seems to have been suit
ed 10 the purposes Of the British government,
aud they have rewarded him, it appears, ae-
corlins to his services.
