BY SK fil.VF. ■ITi"h spirit, energetic animation, and courage, may be accounted STRONG points OF the Welsh character: arid these, -when properly exhibited, cannot fail to createrespectaild admiration. "That zeal, which attaches the numerous branches of families to each other, and the tenants to their landlords, often calls these native propensities into action. Hospitality, which retreats in general from the seals of ouulence and' luxury, is peculiarly adapted to the disposi- tion of the Welsh, and wherever all- oppurtunity has occur, CTI, I have often witnessed its fascinating influence. This ever blooming flower, frequently adorns these rugged tr:«ks, that would seem al-n vious to the haunts of MEN; in the most drear; wtKJs t: charms the wearied tense's of the traveller, and it flourishes eminently in the re- motest valley of Cambria. Open, ingenuous, and eonsi, derate, the native gcntletnan of Wales dispenses freely around him the benefits of his situation, and supports the character lie derives from his predecessors, by a well-timed and liberal attention to all who jail within his sphere of action. Some few defects, however, appear amidst the many "valuable qualities of this race, but even these may frequent- ly be traced to the excess OF virtues and as the general civilization increases,;they WJG be no longer perceptible."

FURTHER THOUGHTS on AGRICULTURE. [liY THE LATE DR. JOHNSON.] I have already observed, how differently Agriculture xvas considered by the heroes and wise men ùr the Iloman commonwealth, and shall now only' add, that eve# alter Em- perors had made great alteration in the system of life, and taught men to portion out their esteem to other qualities than usefulness, Agriculture still maintained its reputation, and was taught by the polite and elegant Celsus among thcotberarts. The usefulness of Agriculture I have already shewn I shall now, therefore, prove its necessity and having be- fore declared, that it produces the chief riches of a nation, I shall proceed to shew, that it gives its only riches, the only which we can call our own, and of which we need not fear either deprivation or diminution. Of nations, as of individuals, the first blessing is inde- pendence. Neither the man nor the people can be happy to whom any human power can deny the necessaries or conveniences of life. There is no way of living without the need of foreign assistance, but by the product of our own land, improved by our own labour. Every other source of plenty is perishable or casual. Triide and manufactures rrrust be confessed often to en- rich countries and we ourselves are indebted to them for those ships by which we now command the sea, from the equator to the poles, and for those sums with which we have shewn ourselves able to arm the nations-of the north in defence of regions in the western hemisphere. But trade and jnanfactures, however profitable, must yield to the cultivation of lands in usefulness and dignity. Commerce, however we may please ourselves with the CONTRARY opinion, is one of the daughters OT fortune, in- eeustaut and deceitful as her mother; she chuses her resi- dence where she is least expected, and shifts her abode, -when her continuance is in appearance most firmly settled. It is apparent, that every trading nation flourishes, while it can be said to flourish, by the co .nlesy of others. We cannot compel any people to buy from us or to sell to us. A thousand accidents may prejudice them in. favour of our rivals; the workmen of other nations may labour for less price, or some accidental improvement, or natural advan- tage, may procure A just preference for their commodities AS experience has shewn, that there is 110 work of the hands, -A I)icit, at dinertut times, is not best performed in dulerent places, Traffick, even while it continues in its state of prosperity, must owe its success to Agriculture the materials of ma- nufacture are the produce of the earth. The wool which we weave into cloth, the wo'od which'is formed into cabi- nets, the metals which are forged into weapons, are sup- p!:ed by nature with the help of art. Manufactures, in- dee(1. and profitable manufactures, atc sometimes raised ,,111 imported materiaisy but then we are subjected a se- cond time to the caprice of our neighbours. The natives of Lombard v might easily resolve to retain their silk at home, and employ workmen of their own to weave it. And this wiil certainly bedone when they grow wise and indus- trious, when they have sagacity to discern their true inter- est, and igour to pursue it. Mines are generally considered as the great sources of wealth, and superficial observers have thought the pos- session of great quantities of precious mfctals the lirst na- tional happiness, iint Europe has long seen, with won- der and contempt, the poverty 01 Spain, who thought him- self exempted from the labour of tilling the ground, by the conquest of Peru, with its veins of silver. Time, how ever, has tauglif even this obstinate and haughty nation, that ■without Agriculture they may indeed be the transmitters of nioitev, but can never be, the possessors. They may dig it out of thC F-ARTL), but must immediately send it away to purchase cloth or bread, and it must at last remain with some people wise enough to sell much, and to buy little tlol live upon their own lands, without-a wish for those things •which nature HAS denied them. Mrnes are themselves of no use, without some kind of A piculture. WE have, in our own country, inexhaustible MORES of iron, which lie useless in the ore for want of wood, it was never the design of Providence to feed man with- out his own concurrence we ha\e from nature only what we cannot provide for ourselves; she gives us wild fruits ■which art must meliorate, and drossYluetalJ which labour xiiust refine. Particular metals are valuable, because they are scarce and thi'y are scarce, because the iiriacs that yield them are emptied in time. But the surface of the earth is more li- beral its caverns. The field, which is this autumn laid caked by the side will be covered, in the succeeding sum- mer, bv a new harvest: the grass, which the cattle are de- -vouring, shoots up again when they have passed over it. Agriculture, therefore, and Agriculture alone, can sup- port us without the. help of others, in certain plenty and genuine dignity. Whatever we buy from without, the sel- lers may refuse whatever we sell, manufactured by art, the purchasers may reject; but, while our ground is cover- ed with corn and cattle, we can want nothing; and if ima- gination should grow sick of native plenty, and call for de- licacies or embellishments from other countries, there IS UQ- thing which corn and cattle will liot purchase. Our country is, perhaps, beyond all others, proditetive of things necessary to life. The pine-apple tliri*. es better between the tropicks, and better furs are found in the nor- thern regions. But let us not envy these unnecessary privi- leges. Mankind cannot subsist upon the indulgencies -of nature, but must be supported by her more common gifts. They must feed upon bread, and be cloathed with wool: ■■•and the nation that can furnish these universal commodities, may have her ships welcomed at a thousand ports, or sit at » home and receive the tribute of foreign countries, enjoy their arts, or treas-ure up their gold. It is well known to those who have examined lite state of other countries, that the vineyards of Prance are more than equivalent to the mines of America and that one great use of Indian gold, and Peruviau silver, is to procure the wines of Cbarapaigue and Burgundy, The ,advantage is iudeed always rising on the side of Prance, who will cer- tainly have wines, when Spain, by a thousand natural or ac- cidental causes, may want silver. But surely the vallies of Ein-land have more certain stores of wealth. Wines are chosen by caprice: the products of France have not been always equally esteemed but there never was any age, or people, that reckoned bread among superfluities, when once it was known. The price of wheat and barley suffers not any variation, but whatts caused by the uncertainty of seasons. I am far from intending to persuade my countrymen to quit ail other employments for that of manuring the ground. I mean only to prove, that we have, at home, all ihat we can want, and that therefore we need feel no great anxiety about the schemes of other nations for improving their arts, or extending their traffick. But there is no necessity to-in- fer, that we should cease from commerce, before the revo- lution of things shall transfer it to some other regions-! Such vicissitudes the worid has often seen; and therefore such we have reason to expect. We hem-many clamours of declining trade, which are not, in my opinion, always true; and many imputations of that decline to governors and ministers, which may be sometimes just, and sometimes calumnious. But it is foolish to imagine, that any care or policy can keep commerce at a stand, which almost every nation has enjoyed and lost, and which we must expect to lose as we have long enjoyed it. There is some danger, lest our neglect of Agriculture should hasten its departure. Our industry has for many ages been employed in destroy lug the woods which our an- cestors have planted. It is well known that commerce is carried (in by ships, and that ships are built out of trees and therefore, when I travel over naked plains, to which tradition has preserved the name of forests, or see hills arising on either hand, barren and useless, I cannot for- bear to wonder, how that commerce, of which we promise ourselves the perpetuity, shall be continued by our descen- dants; nor can restrain a sigh, when I think on the time. a time at no great distance, when our neighbours may deprive us of our naval influence, by refusing us their timber. By Agriculture only can commerce &e perpetuated and by Agriculture alone can we live in plenty without in- tercourse with other nations. This, therefore, is'the great art, which every government ought to protect, every pro- prietorof lauds to practise, and every inquirer into nature to improve.

BATH AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. We gave some particulars of the proceedings at the an- nual meeting of this important institution in our last paper, and have now to add the adjudication of the principal premiums, &c. A gold medal was awarded to Miss- Fail- shaw, for the best design for the Bedfordean die; and also to Mr. Arthur Young, for his essay on the nature ana properties of manures, the subject of the Bedfordean prize for the present year. To Thomas Crooke, Esq. the premium for the best heifer and calf; they were of the Tytherton breed, or two parts French and one Devon. To Mr. Clyde of Preston, near Yeovil, the prize for the best sow and her offspring; they were between the China and Leicester breed, and remarkably find ones. To Mr. Troy, near Monmouth, the prize for the best fat sheep of the new Leicester breed and to Mr. Lewis, the prize for the best fat spayed heifer, being of the Glamorgan breed. Premiums to encourage friendly or benefit societies among the labouring poor, were adjudged, and a new one esta- blished for the encouragement of female friendly societies. -Sir J. Hippesley was elected a Vice President, and be- tween 50 and 60 new members were admitted.—A circum- stance highly interesting and acceptable to the meeting, e I was the introduction to the sittings, by his friend S. Galton, Esq. of Captain Norton*, a distinguished Chief of the M o- hawk Nation, ardent in the pursuits of agricultural im- provement in his own country, and desirous of adopting the best systems of this kingdom. The presence of this interesting Indian diffused general pleasure and having 011 the instant been electcd an honorary member, lie re- quested permission to address the chairman on that occa- sion. He began with an appropriate compliment to this country on its felicitous situation, even when surrounded on all sides-by the hostile banners of war, preserving in itself the fullest degree of envied tranquillity, enjoying uninterruptedly every pleasing pursuit, and advancing the progress of agriculture, with other sciences beneficial to the human race. He adverted, by way of contrast, to the dawning of science in his own country, expressing, how- ever, the hope that they might in process of time be ex- panded to some degree of useful maturity that he was little enabled to make a suitable return to the Society for the flattering honour conferred on him but that he would be most happy in offering such returns as might be in his power, by transmitting specimens of such plants, seeds, or animals, as were considered amongst them to be curious or interesting; and with such communications on their an- cient husbandry, as opportunities might aflord him. The real name of this illustrious stranger M Teyouinhoka- raw an open door. r

SMITHFIELD CATTLE SHEW, The cattle, sheep, &e. intended for this annual exhibi- tion, were sent into Mr. Wootton s yard on Wednesday evening or early on Thursday morning, and it was near three o'clock before the five judges had finished their exa- mination of the different animals, when they retired to pre- pare their report. The number of amateurs who flocked on Friday to see the prize cattle was greater than on any former occasion, and from about eleven till two o'clock, Mr. Wootton's yard and premises, where the cattle stand, were so thronged that it was very difficult for the persons present to move along. It was remarkable, that although there were in former years so many candidates for the prizes for fat pigs, no one had sent to this shew any pigs within the time limited, and with the requisite registers of food, weight, See. and of course no prizes are awarded for pigs. In the first or lower stable, was a yellow-red cow, of the Holdemess or short horned Yorkshire breed, very fat. Be- yond this. stable door stood two beautiful small black polled heifers, belonging to Alderman Curtis they attracted a good deal of attention, and so much resembled the Scotch or Galloway breed-of cattle, that the Earl of Galloway, who examined them, seemed to consider them as the ge- nuine breed of his country; but Sir William Curtis stated, that they were by a Devon bull, out of cows of the China breed. A black ox, of the North Wales breed, four years old, which had been fed on grass and hay, by Mr. Gilbert of Leicestershire, was next shewn, for which he is adjudged ten guineas, in cla,ss 4, this animal having gained the great- est comparative weight of flesh in a given time of feeding. A yellow spotted cow, very fat, of tne short horned breed, eight years old, having had five calves, which had been bred and fed on grass", hay, and turnips, by Mr. Pick- ford, the second prize of ten guineas in class 4. The next object of attention was a beautiful dark red cow, of the Kent breed, eight years old, which had borne five calves, bred bv Mr. Monk, of Romney Marsh, and which had been fed by the Duke. of Bedford, on oil cake, turnips, and hay.. This gained the first prize, fifteen gui- neas, in class 4. The next was a small brindled ox, of the Scotch breed, five years old, bred by the Duchess of Gordon, and fed 011 grass, hay, and turnips, by the Duke of Bedford. This gained the second prize of ten guineas in class 3. A red ox of the Scotch breed, four years old, bred by Mr. Routiedge, and fed with grass, hay, and turnips, by Mr. King, gained the first prize of fifteen guineas in class 3. A large red ox of the Hereford breed, six years old, bred by Mr. Tully, near Hereford, and fed on grass, hay, and turnips" by Sir. Wcstcar, gained the second prize of fifteen guineas in class 2. A dark dun ox, of the Glamorgan and French breed, six years old, bred by the Duke of Bedford, and fed by him on grass, hay, and tarnips, gained the first prize of twenty- five guineas 111 class 2. A large spotted- light-red 0: very fat and fine, of the Hereford breed, bred by Mr. Tully, near Hereford, and fed on oil-cake by Mr. John Westcar, gained the principal prize of twenty-live guineas in class 1. A large red ox of the Devon breed, six years old, fed on oil-cake, which had been fed and bred by the Duke of Bedford, gained the second prize of fifteen guineas in class 1. Next came the exhibition of prize sheep :—Three new Leicester: two years old, bred by lYle, Thomas. W estcaf, of Woolaslon, Oxfordshire, and fed on grass, by his brother, Mr. John Wcstcar, to whom the prize in class 7 was awarded. Three new Leicester sheep, one- vnr old, bred and fed by Mr. Plasket, of Oxfordshiye, on i^rass and hay, gained the: prize often guineas in class 6. Three South-down sheep, two years old, fed on grass, hay, and turnips, the property of the Duke of Bedford, bred and fed on his Maulden Farm, gained the prize of ten- guineas lnclass 9. Three South-down sheep, one-year old, fed on grass, hay, and turnips, belonging to the Duke of Beford, from his Maulden farm, gained the prize of ten guineas in class 8. After inspecting the cattle, &c. there was a meeting of the Committee of the Sinithfield Society at the Crown and Anchor, the Duke of Bedford in the chair Thos. Buckler, Esq. the Rev. Thomas Plaskett, and several ottier gentle- men were admitted members of the Society, and some other business was transacted after which about thirty sat down to an excellent dinner. The prize cattle, and sheep were inspected on Saturday by the Dnke of Clarence and several noblemen and per- sons of distinction. The Society met oil for the purpose of publicly declaring the premiums already ad- judged, and afterwards dined at the Crown and Anchor..— 0:. the cloth being removed, the Duke of Uedlord ad, drosed the company, calling their attention to the ori- ginal objects of this Society, which were, to excite the in dustry.of ihe feeders and graziers, for inipfotuig the breeds of cattle, and increasing the supply of the markets; tiiat, happily, the idle prejudices which had existed respecting the objects and views of this Society, had disappeared and, it could not be doubted but the public mind must ap- plaud-the institution which produced such cattle as had been this year exhibited, and which were in January last in the straw-yard, or in use in the dairy or the plough; wasteful or long feeding couid not possibly therefore be urged.

Letters from Flushing mention, that the epidemical dis- ease at Gibraltar, &c. has extended to the coast of Africa, and that the greatest part of the Spanish garrison of AI- buccmas, about ten miles from Ceuta, had nearly pensheo with sickness and hunger, from which it was feared the Moors would get possession of the place. Government have exchanged the Dutch Captain Blys Van Trusiong, late Commandant of the Dutch marine for.es, captured at Surinam, for the Hon. Capt. Col viII, late of the Romney; and as a cartel for the exchange of prisoners has been opened betweeen the two Governments on .the most liberal footing, the British now in Holland will very soon be restored to their country and friends.. It is whispered in the higher ministerial circles, that the short experience of the present First Lord ot the Admi- ralty, has already convinced him of the absolute necessity of the reforms in the naval department, which were intend- ed by Lord St. Vincent; and that they are to be imme- diately carried into execution but, it is added, a more agreeable mode is to be pursued in accomplishing those reforms than v. !,at Lord St. Vincent thought practicable aud 4 Commission under the Great Sea), siniihir to those which were instituted in 1609, 1618, and 1626, is to be granted to certain persons, for the purpose of investigating and carrying these wholesome reforms into execution. We learn that Sir Charles Middleton is to be at the head of the new Commission for reforming the civil department of the navy and, among the names of the members, we have heard those of Mr. Pordyce, Surveyor-General of the Crown Lands, and a Civilian of high rank; the latter to regulate prize affairs. We understand that a new class of oflicers, to be called Sub-Lieutenants, are ta be appointed in the navy, to be selected from Midshipmen who have served their time. They are to receive half pay. Tuesday a Court Martial was held at Plymouth on/Cap- tain Hunter, the officers, ship's company, and marines, of his Majesty's late ship Venerable, of 74 guns, for the loss of the said ship; when, after a very short trial, the Court unanimously, and very-honourably acquitted them all, ex- cept one man, who was found guilty of drunkenness, dis- obedience of orders, and plundering the officers' baggage. He was adjudged to receive 200 lashes round the fleet, as an example. An interesting trial took place on Saturday, in the 'Court of King's Bench, in which Samuel Ferrand Waddington, Esq. was plaintiff, and a Mr. Francis defendant. Mr. Erskine stated, that the action was brought to enforce a contract made for the purchase of 23 acres of hops at Canterbury in 1799, at the time the hops were growing when the plaintiff agreed to give. 101. a hundred for them, after they should be picked they were afterwards sold for 171. 10s. a hundred.—Mr. Dallas, for the defendant, resisted the action, on the ground of the contract having been an illegal monopoly,, similar to that practised at Wor- cester in 1800, for which Mr. W. had been tried and con- victed. Lord EllenborOugh held, that an act done in 1800 could not invalidate/)- transaction which took place in 1791). The jury found for the plaintiff, damages 7.501. A clergyman was asked the other day, what he thought were the feelings of the Pope on anointing Bonaparte ?- "Just such feelings as mine would be," he replied, if I were compelled to christen a wof l1" j Monday a party of the Old Buff regiment, iccruiting, en- listed, to appearance, J very fine young fellow. The regu- lar mode of proceedings were all gone through to make a soldier; he was taken before Colonel Robiuson, the In- specting Officer of the district, about three o'clock, to be passed, with a number of other recruits belonging to other regiments, when the Colonel, having strong suspicion it was a female in men's clothes, gave orders for the inspecting surgeon to examine him, which was accordingly done, and it proved to be a fine young woman After being repri- manded, she was dismissed. She appeared in Pitulieo a short time after in female ciress. Monday se'nnight a duel was fought at a place near Gateshead, commonly known by the name of the. Quarry Field, between a Mr. C of Gateshead, and a Mr. T-, of Newcastle, in consequence of an qjtercation, which originated from the latter gentleman having snatched a letter out of the hands of the former. This affair might have been attended with serious consequences, had not the seconds taken care to load the pistols with powder only. The gentlemen having taken their stations at 12 paces, exchanged fires tfhen by thfc mediation of the se- conds, each declared himself satisfied. The rencontre afforded much diversion to the seconds, who could scarcely refrain from laughter at the fearful gesticulations made by the opponents; but how much was their merriment in- creased, when, after the reconciliation had taken place, one of the opponents seriously affirmed, that he heard the ball buz past his left ear, and by the sound could swear it came within half a yard of his person !-Tyne Mercury. About eight o'clock on Wednesday-morning, the 5th instant, a man of pale complexion, and middle size,, in a greyish drab-colourcd coat, and white striped wuiiicoat, and about twenty-six years of age, knocked at the door of Simpson's Hospital, in Dublin, and desired to sc,e one of the patients, named Edward Johnson; and being in- formed that he was not out of bed, the stranger requested the person who opened the door to inform Johnson, that a man from the country wished to speak with him. This message being delivered, the visitor was immediately in- troduced to Johnson's room, where he sat down, and said he came from Johnson's part of the country, near Donegal. The latter, who was totally blind, professed himself some- what surprised at a visit from a person whose voice was quite UNKNOWN to him the STRANGER TLECFACRF.6 it MERELY a visit of friendship, undertaken at the desire of the wife and family of the patient) with wb-na lie said he was toler- ably intimate. Aftcr slopping a short time, he invited Johnson to go out with him to drink, which being declined, he took out of his pocket a small cake, asking IlIín to break bread, since he would not drink, and giving it to him, im- mediately took his le that a female friend of Johnson's, whom he met on horseback on the road from the North, would call on him at one o'clock. On the stranger's departure, Johnson divided the cake with ano- ther patient, named Thomas Mallow, who was also blind. In the course of the day Johnson grew sick, his bowels were much affected, and a dangerous vomiting ensued. It then occurred to him that he was poisoned, and he com- municated his fears to the Steward of the Hospital. Mal- low complained in a similar manner, when Dr. Boyton was sent for, but medical interference was ineffectual—both were violently, convulsed, and at four o'clock on Wednes- day evening Johnson expired. Mallow died on Thursday morning. The first was forty-six years ot age, the latter twenty-lour, A Coroner's Inquest was held on Thursday on the bodies of the unfortunate men, and after the fullest investigation of the horrid transaction, returned a verdict OF—Wilful murder, by poison, uguinst some person or persons unknown. Grim. COIl.-In consequence of a suit instituted by Mrs. Jane Harbin against her husband, Thomas Henry Har- bin, Esq. of Corsica Hall, near Seaford, Sussex, in order to obtain a separation a mensa ct thoro, for various acts of cruelty and adultery, the cause was tried in the Arches Court of Canterbury, before Sir William Wynne, on Tues- day. The defendant totally denied the allegations, and, by way of recrniunaiion, charged that his wife, the plain- tiff, had been guilty of criminal conversation with several persons, particularly with Capt. Wall, and Lieut. Rowed, oftheGfocestershnemihtia..—On the part of Mrs. Har- bin, the principal accusation against her husband was, that he had. carried on a criminal intercourse with Minicent Muggeridge, a servant of the family, for whom he had taken private lodgings, and who had produced him two children. Various acts of cruelty were also deposed to; but, from the mass of evid-'nce adduced, it appeared that Mrs. Harbin was not blessed with a more agreeable dispo- sition than her husband, for she constantly did every thing in, her power to enrage him.—Sir W. Wynne, the Judge, after recapitulating the whole of the evidence, considered that the wife- was justified in flying from her husband's house, and that, buth trom his adutterousintercourse with Minicent Muggeridge, and his repeated acts of cruelty to- wards her, she was entitled to a separation which he ac- cordingly pronounced in the usual form, allowing the wife that alimony to which she was entitled by the fortune she brought the defendant. MARRIED.—At Winchester, Lynch Cotton, Esq. Cap- tain in the loth light dragoons, and second son ot Sir R. S.

This character was universally admitted by the police-officers to be the most expert* pick-pocket in England. There was scarcely a fair or race; between Ber- wick-upon-Tweed and the Land's End, where she had not exercised her professional abilities. She originally came from Scotland, and married one of the notorious Wheelers, with whom she lived some years. On the arrival of ano- ther notorious pick-pocket from Botany-Bay, of the name of Barnsley, she took a great fancy to him, and left her husband. With this man she practiced picking of pockets for several years, both in town and country. Although in person rather delicate, it was no unusual thing to see her on Lord Mayor's Day, and other public occasions, in the greatest crowds, in conspiracy with the notorious gang of hustlers, who have for so many years infested the metropo- lis. She is generally dressed in a very genteel stile. About seven years ago she was at Bath, committing her depreda- tions, and at ,one of the churches received the Sacrament; at the same time the Mayoress of Bath happened to be one of the communicants, MOGGY observed Lher to have a very valuable gold watch, contrived to rob her of it, before the conclusion of the solemn ordinance. She had several chil- to dren, whom she kept at a boarding school. Notwithstand- ing she had been several tunes tried on capital charges, she was aiways fortunate enough to escape punishment.
