THE ANNIVERSARY DINNER

Was held at the Old Ship Tavern, on
Tuesday, 29th Iustant, in celebration of
His Majesty's Accession to the Throne.
President, Walter Burrell, Esq., Member
for the County.

About 400 of the nobility and gentry attended on this joyous occasion, consisting of noblemen and gentlemen; not from the immédiate vicinity alone, but also from the remotest parts of the county. Some of the most distinguished

characters in the kingdom were present, and, as it may well be judged, the utmost harmony, loyalty, and conviviality prevailed. We exceedingly regret that the lateness of the period renders it impossible for us to enter more fully into details, but are well assured, that the three Papers of this town will, with their accustomed accuracy, gratify the public on this occasion.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

THE timely frosts which have generally prevailed since our last report, have, in a great, measure checked the exuberant growth of the young wheats and ryes, which at present promise a fine increase. The country, every where, exhibits a prospect of abundance. The seeds look well, and the late dry weather has completely averted the fear we entertained, lest the moisture of the atmosphere should affect the sheep with the rot. The barleys are now generally apparent on the light lands, and the present favourable state of the weather promotes ploughing and sowing the spring

corns.

Should this weather continue, we think the usual time of finishing sowing, or the seedlip, as it is called in the eastern parts of England, will be much earlier than usual. Turnips, rape, coleworts, &c., are very luxuriant every where, so that the farmer entertains little anxiety for his flock during the approaching yeaning time. In many parts the young lambs are already strong and vigorous, and the mildness of the season renders it probable that the markets will be well supplied with lamb in a few weeks.

We regret to be obliged to state that the markets for every kind of animal and vegetable produce, are progressively sinking, nor dare we flatter our readers that this state of the markets will soon mend.

LONDON MARKETS.

THE highest price of the best wheaten bread, throughout the metropolis and suburbs, is tenpence-halfpenny the quartern loaf. Peck loaf, to weigh 17 lb. 6 oz. Quartern loaf, to weigh 4lb. 5 oz. Half ditto, ditto Half-quartern ditto,

THE BEE-HIVE-NOTICES RESPONSIVE.

"Floriferis ut apes in saltibus omnia libant,
"Omnia nos itidem depascimur aurea dicta."

We have adopted our facetious friend's motto for our notices. If he would favour us with an article, we should be obliged, being convinced from his Sign Manual that he has abilities.

Our Contributors en masse will observe, we have extracted some Virgin Honey," 'Hymetto dulcior,' from their deposits in the hive.

The Wen (WHEN, &c., of our first Number,) which Q. complains of, has, by most of our readers, been thought a beauty spot.

Simon Sable is too dark for us.

We thank our friend Apprice of Llan Winton, but would prefer inserting a translation of his WELSH CHANT, if he would oblige us with it.

To y we feel highly indebted, and shall be always happy to insert the sweet effusions of his Muse.

We have been anticipating a communication from our esteemed friend C. V., and hope next month the promised bon bouche will arrive before the 15th.

We sincerely thank the "Country Curate" for his continued favours, and trust long to rank him in the number of our correspondents.

The admiration which has every where been bestowed on d's Poetry, calls upon us to express our gratitude for his contributions.

Our exalted Friends "Attics" have little salt to recommend them.

Seth Porcupine's Quill appears to have been dipped in gall.

Quiz, we suspect, wishes to see us quizzed; but we are awake-his communication lies at our publishers.

C we shall always be proud to hear from, and trust he will never forget the 15th. ℗ will never find his articles rejected.

To our University friends we are unable to express the sense we entertain of their kindness; but we hope the arrangements we have made to render our Ecclesiastical Intelligence interesting, is a convincing proof of the high estimation in which we hold them.

Our worthy friend R. will see, that with us "verbum sat." We hope the Brighton intelligence meets his view of the subject.

Vindex has given two reasons for what he is pleased to call his forbearance. can assign a third more potent than either of thein-Fear.

We

Our anonymous correspondent from Cambridge will see, that one of his communications has been anticipated: it shall, however, appear next month. We hope to hear from him before the 15th.

We beg to acknowledge the receipt of the Manksman's Budget; and present our thanks to Quyllyam M‘Quyllyam, Esq., and his facete friend the Jesuit. The idea of wrapping the articles round a flagon of whiskey was unique and excellent, as was also that vivifying liquor. We toasted "The Heroes of Douglas" and Jefferson of Duke-street, the Murray of their Isle, as long as a drop was left.

We wrote to A. last month; but from his note he appears not to have received our letter: we will make inquiries, and he shall hear from us shortly.

We regret, that The Contented Curate, from its extreme length, is unavoidably postponed till next month.

NATIONAL PROSPECTS.

THE difficulties now pressing upon this nation are of that description, and some of them so moderate, that in place of giving cause for despondency, and much less despair, we may soon hope to see a remedy applied by which they will be over

come.

The great and good reason for that hope is, that upon all occasions, when we have set ourselves seriously to work, we have speedily overcome our difficulties; and now we must be serious.

The landed interest is in such imminent danger, and the landholders have such power, that they will not any longer be contented with inefficient committees, in which much is proposed and nothing done; where the members reason like the professors of a college, instead of setting to work like men who are legislating for a great, a wealthy, and a powerful kingdom.

We are possessed of nearly all that is wanted for the use of man, in the greatest abundance, produced either by the soil or the industry of the country; and what we cannot ourselves produce, we can obtain by commerce, in exchange for the surplus of what we do produce.

To speak of want in such a situation of things is. absurd; although, for a short period, by the fluctuations of things, there may be inconveniency felt by numbers. Yet, as the general stamina is good, as on the aggregate we have all that we want, a little time and good arrangement are all that are necessary for procuring to us general affluence, as well as individual ease and comfort.

Much of the present embarrassment has certainly arisen from a sort of jealousy entertained by the different classes with respect to each other, but mainly by the large proprietors and farmers with respect to the poorer or labouring classes, many of whom VOL. I.
