SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT…
SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF ARTS, MAS U FACTURES, AND CO UIMERCE, The following account of the proceedings of this excellent in.rjtution at the anniversary" meeting, held on Tuesday last, may be deemed very interesting to readers of taste, as weil as to the friends of those discoveries aud improve- ments which-tuay be to mankind. The business was opened, according to annual custom, by h speech from C. Taylor, Esq. the very able and wor- thy Secretary of the Socicty. The views of this Society, from its first institution, ob- s?rTfil .Mr. Taylor, have Wen steadily dircctc^ t.o almost every object by which iu'mkinct c«h be ithpioveu or be- nefited, and a division, of its business into nine classes has been made lor the more nvelhodi'cai transacting thereof. The Secretary next, the outline, of business in the investigation of matters submitted to the So- ciety, proceeded as foitows: it forms a part of wiy duty to state to this very respec- table Hssembty, the rewards which ate- this .-day to be con- ferred ill the several classes I ha\e Hamed, awl to notice some of the advantages likely to arise from then" labours/' Permit me stiongl.v to impress upon your minds, that thi'Se advantages are intended for the. world at large; the mem- bers of this Society discard the nanov,- principles of »eilis>h interest: minute accounts of. the inventions approved ave given in their annual volume, and the machines rewarded are gratuitously open Jive days iu every week, in the repo- sitory oi the Society, lor public inspection. Agriculture 1MS been long and deservedly a favourite object with this Society, as well as with the more recent establishments of the Board of Agriculture, and the numuruus provincial So- cieties, having tor their the making and improving plantations of timber trees, amelioration of land, produc- tive rotations of ciops of grain and herbage, the preserva- tion of stich products, improvements in agricultural imple- mcnts, and the means ut contributing to the happiness oi labouring men. To tiie Right Hon. Earl ofBreadaibane, who has late- ly improved a large tract of land in Scotland, unfit for the plough, bv plantations ot larch, and S.;otch Jirs, which arc now in a Nourishing state, the silver me-daf of the society has been voted as a mark of their approbation. "To Thomas Johnes, Est], of Halod, M. P. for Cardi- gan, the gold medal has been adjudged t'orplanung 922,000 oaks, besides other valuable trees. "To John Christian Cnrweii, Esq. M. P. for Carlisle, the goid medal, has been adjudged for his admirable sys- tem of culture of beans and wheat.—Upon this prucipie, Otter U. Sood crop of LJeanshalh, been procured in summer, the same land has been sown with wheat in autumn, and more grain produced than by a previous tallow. To William Taylor, Esq. of'Beamish, the gold medal has been adjudge' for improving'acres ot land lying waste, and rClIderillg an estate, which cost him, in May, 1792, 2tii¡bl. at present of the value of 90<¿;>I, 13s. I tee| (continued Mr. Taylor) a. particular pleasure in noticing to you that Captain John Miller, the nephew to our worthy lounder, Mr. fcih-ipie-y, is entitled to a reward this session, for a pair of "lkels for clipping woo!, which will -prevent the, sheep from, be.ug wounded in shearing, which has Irequebtiy'occurred ior wmch.invention lie will receive a silver medal.

The. attention of agriculturalists has been much ell- best hind; and ssaid o.i the advantages of Mr. Eikmgion's mode of d:aming; but Mr.* VVm. Smith has a considerable tract of land, where Mr. ,.Elking- ton's attempt had tailed, belonging to his Grace the Duke of Bedford, called i'rislcy Bog, and by a superficial irri- -y tt up gation of such laud has biought *>0 acres into iirm land, produciug the most valuable herbage. The Sodifty, ior this (;,)!lIIIJl!iUC3tjOIJ, have voted him their silver medal. Mr. VV'ni. Watson, of North tfliddleton, has continued his comparative culture of turnips, and deady proved, by experiments, that drill husbandry is much superior to the broad-cast for this usef ul vegetable the Society have there- fore voted to him the. sum ot ten 'founds. Mr. Seth Bull, of Ely,, who received a reward in 1802, for planting osiers, has been the successful cmKfidate tu the same class this session, having planted seven acres of land, for which he was entitled to the gold medal, or tilii,ty gui- neas, but has preferred the latter." His Grace the Dufee of Norfolk Aen rose, and said, that he was now to have the pleasure of presenting the several candidates, ill the above class of premiums, with their e- wards, and called upon the Earl of Breadalbane, who ad- vanced between the tables; when his Grace put several short questions respecting the kind and state of his planta- tions; w hich his Lordship answered, aud received from the hands of his Grace the silver medal. On Mr. Curwen appearing at the table, his Grace com- plimented him on his unwearied course ot experiments, on his success in the present instance, in gaining, as it were, a crop of beans before wheat, and presented him with the gold medai; for which Air. Curwen returned thanks, in a short speech. The nest premium ol 30 guineas to Mr. Wm. Taylor, was delivered to the Secretary, for him, the recent determination of the Society on his claim not having admitted of his being summoned. Captain J ulm Miller next appeared before the President, who complimented him on his nniting with his military du- ties an attention to the great objects for which his late worthy uncle so successfully laboured, and presented him with the silver medal, as we have mentioned above. Mr. S. Taylor's silver medal was entrusted to the Secretarv, on account of the short notice which had been given him of its being voted. A gentleman next appeared for W. \Vallis Mason, Esq. of Goodrest Lodge, near Warwick, and received the silver tuedat for his account oftbe culture of carrots. Mr. John Farcy, when called upon by his Grace, previous to his receiving the silver medal, at the request of his Grace, explained the object of his experiments commu- nicated to the Seciety. A letter was next read from Mr. Wm. Smith, stating his unavoidable absence tn Norfolk, on which account Mr. J. Taylor received his silver medal. Ten pounds, in a neat morocco flat purse, having the candidate's name, &c. in gold letters upon it, was also delivered to the Secretary, at the request of Mr. William Watson, of North. Middleton, to whom it was adjudged, for the comparative culture of turnips, as before mentioned. And the same gentleman also received Air. S. Bull's thirty guineas, for planting osiers. This finishing the class of agriculture, his Grace sat down, and Mr. Taylor resumed his speech, and entor- ed on the class ofchermstry, nearly as follows: The premiums which have been offered in this class have been productive of great improvement in mineralogy, dyeing, painting, varnishing, and other arts, besides disco- veries advantageous to the health ot our seamen and ma- nufacturers. A valuable discovery has been lately made by Mr. Thomas Vanherman, for making paints with fish- oil which are more easily prepared, nmch lower in price, and more durable for out-door work, than those usually made with linseed oil, and are not liable to blister or scale. He has also liiven a process for a white paint to be used in the interior of houses, and free from the nox- ious smell attending common paint. Forrtheseinventions the society have awarded to hilll their silver medal uud20 guiucai. Ap easy and efficacious method of cleaning feathers from their animal oil and fected smell, by HutnersiOIl ill clear lime- water, has been shewn, for which the Society have adjudged to Mrs. Ann Richards the premium ot 20 guineas. A cheap and efficacious means ot removing the dirt from dyed silks, printed cottons, carpels, and woollen goods, itas been discovered by Mrs. Ann Morris. It is effected by the mucilaginous liquor formed by grating raw potatoes into water, and applying the clear liquor culd with a spuuge. This process removes dirt without injury to the delicate colours of silk or cloth- The Society have voted to her the sum of 15 guineas." His Grace then rose, and Mr. Vanherman having ad- eed to the table, his Grace asked him 'several questions respecting the applicability of whale oil to the making of his paints as above, and respecting the smell ol figh-oil paint, and I hen presented him with the silver medal, and a purse of twenty guineas. Mrs. Ann Richardson was next presented with 20 gui- neas, as above) with a suitable remark, by the noble chair- Wen, on her mode of cleaning feathers. Mrs. Ann "Morris was next asked several questions by his Grace, respecting her process of cleaning clothes by pota- a,, when she exhibited to his Grace and the company '.a ae.w instance of its beneJicial c.liectin cleaning old or dirty engravings or prints. The President, on delivering her the t; guineas as above, complimented her oil the great simpli- city of her process. Air. Taylor, the Secretary, now resumed, and proceeded to the class of the polite and liberal arts. In every in- stance of reward ;¡ djud .Tcd this session, proof has been given in the presence of the committee, of the abilities of the didate., whichspecimens are now exhibited to you below each pcrfonu<Hlce, It would," continued Mr, Taylor, trespass too much upon your time to enumerate the particular merits of each performance in the instance, however, of Miss Hay's chalk drawing, of our Saviour takcn down from the Cross, I beg lcave to remark, that it wouid be dillicult to ilnd equal excellence under similar circumstances, aud par- ticularly to note, that the Society have highly honoured this performance,by bestowing upon the Útist a double compliment. Can words express the feelings of a niothei whilst she observes her daughter receiving here the public reward of her merit? Canthesatisfactionofafatherbe delineated, whilst lie observes the bounties conferred on a promising son ? or can the mind of any spectator remain un- moved, who regards the lovely diffidence of female beauty, tremblingly alive to fame, stepping forward to receive the honours which await her ? Scenes of this interesting nature now demand your attention." On which his Grace the President rose, and Miss II. Au- gusia Jackson, of Hanover-street, Hanover-square, a charm- ing young lady, being conducted lorward to the table, his Grace complimented her on the grcat cxcelleuce of hero! i- ginal drawing of V fnm Marina, and Cupids (Venus' face being a good likeness of herself), and delivered her the gold medal; she, with great propriety and grace, thanked his Grace and the Society, and retired to make way.for Miss Mary Hay, of Cliaudos-street, who received her sil- ver medal as above and on beiog called a second time to receive a purse of twenty guineas, as a lurtber reward, she received iroui bis Gnce a very handsome compliment on her abilities and performance. Miss Hancock, of St. Helen's, Norwich, was next pre- sented with the silvrr medal, for an oil painting of an old '0: from nature. Mr. Thomas Palner, Hammersmith, then recsived from us grace's hand, the silver medal, lor an excellent pen mid i::kdrawing o! a human ligure. Mrs.M.).-j..Ait;.ijQues,ofLeadenhan-strcct, next ap- pe*r?d, ana receved the goid pallet, for her drawing from nature- of Go mmbury Abbey, near St. Alban's, formerly ¡ ¡,l'SCët of Lme' i:$acu!¡, oj VendalIl. ü1.r. Henry Co; bould, of Jotjij-stree" Fitzroy-sqnare, a youth, was icxt call diu. and rewarded with a gold pai- t, foi his draying of Ajax defending the body of Patrocius. M'ss Coclcreii, of ..■VVesibournc, Paddingtou, was next presented vu:h the great: s.i.erpaiiet.forher drawing ot the Virgin,Christ, and St.-John. Mr. Gcirge Jones, of Great Portland-street, Mary-le- i.o.iiie, wis next complimented by his Grace, on theboid- ness of he subject lie had undertaken to delineate, m Ins tf-awing of Ulysses's Descent into Hell, and presented with th< greater silver pallet. I J^issZornlin. of Newiiigton-place, Kennington, a young o considerable beauty, was next sanded lorward to fhe mole President, who presented her with the lesser sil- j'cr pullet, for her drawing of the Venus de Medicis, from gi. Cast. J Mss S. D.

The Secretary concluded the. business of this class, by mentioning that two young ladies of Bath had premiums tnvo 1 voted them for their drawings of flowers, conditionally that the specimens they gave of abilities were approved but they had hitherto been prevented from attending on the commiitee. Mr. Taylor then proceeded to point out the good effects of the Society's premiums and bounties in the class Of ma- nufactures when Air. W'ilhanl Coston, of Ludgate-hill, was presented with the gold medal, for a substitute lot Leg- horn plait for ladies hats, specimens of which he produced, and also answered several questiorts put to him by his Glace. Mr. J. Beard, of Coggershall, a poor but very ingenious mechanic, received the silver medal and 40 guineas, for his complete machine for forming the wire teeth of cotton and wool-carding machines. Mr. John Austin, of Glasgow, received a silver medal, for various minor though useful improvements of his iii ma- nufacturing machinery. The Secretary then made an excellent speech on the very great advantages which the community has reaped from the formuand preseutlabours and rewards of the So- ciety in the. class of mechanics; after which the follow- ing premiums in this' class ''were delivered by the no- ble chairman, viz. To Mr. Geo. Smart, Ordnance Wharf, Westminster Bridge, for chimnies cleansed by mechanical means, the gold iiiedal.

As soon as the worthy Secretary had concluded" the no- ble President rose, and in a short, but very excellent speech, expressed his great pleasure and satisfaction at the highly respectable attendance. It was full an hour after the,chairman had concluded before the room was cleared. Thfe.accounts of the English (nereJfahts'WvsAp .chums W" the Court of Madrid for 4 aud detained in the Bank of that city, at the commencement uf the last war, are shortly expected to be put in a state of payment, with in- terest.

So cordially has the plan for the promotion of literature and diffusion of scientific knowledge been received by the pub- lic, that the subscription now amounts to 60,0001. It was unanimously agreed to present a petition to his Majesty, praying for a charter and a committee of 21 persons was appointed to prepare the'out line of a plan for the approba- tion of the pruprieLDrs, as tlw basis of-their.establishment.

Agricultural Reporf for lIlay,-Thela,tc prevailing cold winds have much Impeded the growth of wheats and early sown barley, and oats on the cool strong soils. Beans, and the hardy klllds of held-pease, look well, having sobered less from the severity of the season than the white-corn crops. In well managed districts, the turnip-tallows are in a state of great forwardness and much manure lias already been laid upon them. The rape and turnip crops remaining for seed; from their healthy appearance and lull blossom, promise great abundance and as there is now growing a large quantity of the Swedish kind* it is probable that the utility of a valuable turnip is become better under- stood. In the fens the farmers have finished sowing their spring crops and from the good condition the. lauds were in, plentiful and abundant crops may be expected, l'rom ihe late frequent frosty mornings, and cold liorth-easieriy winds, the fruit-trees, both wall and standard, in exposed situations, have suffered much; and the smaller berry-fruit ivill not prove so productive as might have been expected from the general shew jofbiossom. Lean stock, at the tate-fairs, both cattle and sheep, have expert need a pret- ty considerable reduction in prices, owing to the backward- ness in tttegrowth of pasture, natural <\>;lleil nsartdibal consequently a want of early keep, winch has occasioned dull sales m the plentiful number's brought to market. Fresh milking cows, and good draft-horses* are stili in de- and obtain good prices. Sows with p'g, and smaii stores for the dairy, are very dear, and much in request the larger sort of swine, of which there is a great stock Oil Hand, are cheap and scarcely saleable. Commercial Report jar May.—The commercial intercourse of Great-Britain with both the East and West Indies, with America, and not less with the Is most un- happily embarrassed by the sailing of the French and Spa- nish fleets, and by the uncertainty in which we are still left rcspectingtheir destination. The lreiieh Government has lately increased the rigour of its restrictions upon the trade between England and llol- tanc to such a degree, that even letters of commercial COI- respoudence between the two countries are now pro- hibited. The interruptions given to the trade over Europe in con- of the late prevalence of the yellow fever in Spain and Italy, and the general fear of its importation with mer- chant goods, begui to be at an end- The house of Reinhards, at Amsterdam, has lately be- come bankrupt. Its debts are said to have amounted to several hundred thousand pounds sterling. Its failure threw a momentary gloom over the people's' countenances on change in that city. The value of the exports for the last year, by sea from I St, Petersburgh, to the latest date to which, the custom- house accompts have been settled, amounts to, ;;O;ÜüO,()üü of roubles. '1,'he value of the Dutch stocks in general has rather risen than fallen since the change of the Government. '"Thel)¡:dcrwriters'ôf London are likely to suffer consi- d<rabiy by the recent josses of shipping in.th* West-Imtfes. The planters, and the IlIncliants in Loudon', their creditors and consignees, also suffer materially by those depredations 011 the islands by which the French have done much more of damage than they have gained of advantage. We are sorry to iearn that ttre mischief must be felt more especially by.-the merchants of Glasgow and other parts of the west ot Scotland.

Having a large supply of Foreign Wheat, and several thousand quarters now on sale at the coffee-house up stairs, atrcdaccdprtcc-i. it has caused a general decline on the Market of about 5s. per quarter with the late customary exception, however, of a few select samples of fine white obtaining rather more money than stated'in our currencv. Barley ccfhtinues a heavy article, with no iUlprovement in price. Pease of the various kinds remain nearly as last re- ported. Tick Beans are dearer. Good Oats, of which tbvic is no scarcity, obtain good prices.
