At the late quarterly meeting of the Hol derneess Agricultural Society, the question discussed was, The value of straw for sale, or for manure, and the effect of stubble he fore and after ploughing being estimated—Is. it the best husbantry, to mow, or to shear white corn" As to the general question,

At Cockermouth, Mr. John Johnstone, 65. At Corby Castle, Philip Howard, esq. 79. At Winton, Thomas Murkhouse, esq. 79. At Douglas, in the Isle of Man, aged 54, William Hough, esq. This gentleman was a captain upon half-pay, and owed his commission to the favour of their Royal High. nesses the Dukes of Cumberland and Cambridge, to whom Mr. Hough was recommended by the innoxious hilarity and amusing mirthfulness of his manners. In his early days Mr. Hough made a considerable figure in the circles of fashion. He was cotemporary at the Charter-house, and at Cam bridge, with the present Primate of England, and with the Chancellor of Ireland; and in such of his school-mates and companions in more advanced life, as happen to survive him, the mention of his name can hardly fail to excite many interesting recollections. The entanglement, in a fenty-years Chancery litigation, of a large fortune which Mr. Hough inherited from a father, far more thrifty than his son, disarranged the whole system of his domestic life; whilst in the management of what escaped the protection of the law and the benevolence of the money lender, it would certainly be more easy to praise the good nature than the discretion of Mr. Hough himself. A few refractory creditors, together with the total destitution of all sympathy, in quarters where the sentiment had been most natural, exiled Mr. Hough from his country for many years.

to shear white corn, the members present differed in opinion; but the majority of them were in favour of shearing. Some important communications were made by Thomas GrimSton, of Grimston Garth, esq. for which, and his active and useful zeal upon many former occasions, to promote the agricultural intérest of the country, the society felt themselves highly obliged, and voted him their cordial

and unanimous thanks.

As some workmen were cutting down an elm belonging to Mr. Jepson, of Conisbrough, they discovered, in the heart of the tree, a horse-shoe, with a nail in it, in excellent preservation. It is supposed that it must have lain in the tree for fifty years. The elm is five feet in circumference. Green, of High-street, Sheffield, has the shoe in his possession.

An appropriate and classically-elegant monument, by Westmacot, is just erected in York Cathedral, to the revered memory of the late Dr. Burgh. It is placed in the cha pel behind the choir, and exhibits a fulllength emblematical figure of Religion, sustaining with her right hand a cross, and having her left placed on a book, entitled, "On the Holy Trinity." Adjoining, is an altar, with the name BURGH on the upper part, and in the centre, a glory, diverging from the letters J. H: S. On the base or pea destal of the monument, is a brief Latin me mortal of the dates and plates of Dr. Burgh's hativity and death; and beneath is the following poetic inscription, written by John. Bacon Sawrey Morritt, esq.

Lost in a jarring world's tumultuous cries,
Unmark'd around us sink the good and wise:
Here BURGH is laid; a venerable name,
To virtue sacred, not unknown to fame;
Let those he lov'd, let those who lov'd him,

tell

But list'ning crowds this honour'd tomb at

tend,

And children's children bless their father's friend.

The animal was quite alive when taken up, notwithstanding one of its legs had been cut off by the, saw. The ca vity in which it was found, was exactly in the centre of the tree, just large enough to contain the body. In the tree, not the least crack or aperture could be discovered that had a communication with the atmosphere.

Sir John, in the reign of William the Conqueror, married the daughter and heiress of Sir John Woodesham, of Woodesham, Kat. an ancient Briton: from him, the 27th in lineal descent, was Sir John, the first Baronet, a Colonel of a regiment of horse in the service of Charles I. in the civil wars, in which he suffered much both in person and estate.

WARWICKSHIRE.

Leamington was last year honoured with the presence of many of the nobility, and other families of the first character and distinction in the kingdom. The arrivals were very ng merous, it having been ascertained that not less than fifteen hundred persons visited the place for the benefit of the waters during the season, exclusive of servants and children. Notwithstanding the accommodations in excuse very rapidly, they are not yet equal to the demand of the company; but that inconvenience will be shortly obviated by the -extensive and commodious houses now erect ing there by the Leamington Building Society, and other spirited individuals. Many poor invalids, who sought the benefit of the

waters in distressed circumstances, were libe

rally relieved from a fund established there for that laudable purpose; and returned, restored to health, sincerely grateful for the • assistance they had obtained from that bene

ficent institution.

A mecting of the inhabitants of Warwick was lately held at the Court House, to take into consideration the propriety of new paxing that borough; the company present were generally of opinion that the plan was a most desirable one, and that the foot-paths should be laid with flag-stones to the extent of five fre in width. A subscription was immediately entered in o, when upwards of one thousand pounds was raised by twenty gentlemen present, but as the total expense is calculated rat six or seven thousand pounds, it is expect ed that an application will be made to Parlia ment for an act to enable them to accomplish the plan.

The sentence, though comparatively light, was of serious importance to a man who had not been long in trade, and the support of whose family depended chiefly on his own exertions. However, the prosecution, and his conduct under it, strengthened the attachment of those who knew him; and he was in the highest degree gratified by their friendly ef- forts and spontaneous aid. His release from confinement was followed, naturally enough, by a serious illness. For many years before his death his health was weak; and, having for the last two months of his life, experienced an affection of his lungs, he sunk tranquilly under the pressure of disease.
