: SUSSEX. 
The Annual late Siew of Catt'eand Sheep, 
for toe Prizes given by the Sussex Ayricultu-, 
ral Society, was, as usual, most respectably 
and numerously attended. The aninialsshewa 
Were, in the opinion o. the best judges, de- 
serving the highest commendation, and de- 
cidedly proved that no other food than grass 
and hay is required to produce aJl the beauty 
which che respective animals shewn can ever 
attain. Mr. Lester, from Londun, exhibited 
a portable hand-thrashing machine on an en- 
tirely new principle, without wheels, feeding 
4sollers, brasses, ar beaters, consisting of no- 
thing more than ene, cylinder covered with 
Convex inverted V’s of Cast iron, revolving 
With great velocity against similas V's, but

cone a which remain afrest. The cylin- 
der is ¢urned by one horse, or two men, with 
one mon and two boy; to attend and supply it 
w th corny and clear it away when thrasbed. 
Tt was warranted to thrash, with two meny 
from four to five bushels per hour, perfectly 
clean, without injuring either corn or straw 5 
with one horse from seven to eight bushels in 
the same time. ‘This machine has one pecu- 
liar and certain advantage for thrashing alld 
kinds of corn, perfectly clean, when worked 
by hand, which is oy the first importance to 
the interests of agriculture; that is, by toe 
ally removing the necessity of the farmer's 
attendance, for if the corn is presented too 
thick -to the cylinder, so as not to be thrash- 
ed ciean, the men cannot turn it, by which 
means the whole of the corn is disengaged, 
without the liability of imposition.” As aspe- 
cimen.of its work, some corn was cut from 
an adjoining field, after a shower, some of 
the corn being so soit as to be pressed flat bee 
twixt the thumb and finger, when it was 
deeined by the gentlemen and farmers present, 
not to be in a thrashing state. This was put 
into the machine, which, to the surprize of 
the spectators, thrashed it per‘ectly clean, 
without breaking, or in the least injuring 
either straw or-corm, 
The Wool Fair was numeronsly attended. 
Lord Sheffield stated, that the fine wools that 
were sold within 2 iew wonths past, readily 
found 4 market at jast year’s prices ; but there 
was very little deiand for the coarser wools. 
T re general opinion is, that the price of fine 
wool will exceed that of last year; and that 
the coarse wil! not attain last. year’s prices. 
This statement was acknowledged to be fair 
and candid; but notwithstand ng there ap-~ 
peared to be less difference of opinion between 
the buyers and sellers than usual, they did 
not agree. No business was done at the fair, 
nor Hi he evening. The wool-growers de~ 
~manded fiom Ys. tv 6s per tod less than they, 
demanded at the fair lust year, and from is. 
to 23 more than they had since received. 
Lord Sheflleld exhibited specimens of fine 
wool grown 1p England, by Mr. ‘Tollett, of 
Swinnerton hall;/iir. Portman, of Bryan 
stone, fy SCN and Mr. Hall, or Leighs 
court, some pure Spanish, others of mixed 
and also made several communica- 
tions in favour of tie Spanish breed; among 
others, that a three year old Merino Ryland 
wether, bred by Mr Vollet, weighed thirty< 
tliree pounds per quarter, and his ficece five 
pounds of superik r wool
