Parliament inthe next session, for an act for 
erecting a bridge over the river Wensum, at 
or near Carrow Abbey, and tor making roads 
for cognecting’ the same with the Trowee 
and Thorpe turnpike roads. sp 
Ata late meeting af the County Magis- 
trates, it was agreed, that the passage way 
from the top of the Castle-hili, Norwich, 
on the North East side, should be filled’up, 
and the iron railing continued from the bridge 
quite round.——{he descent from that part of 
the hill towards Gurney’s Bank, will be by a 
flight of stone steps, so that only pedestrians 
can cross the hill.

cultural Society, held July the 15th, at the

cond best to Mr. J. Reeve, of Wighton. 
And for the bull, (one only being shewn)” 
to Mr. J. Reeve, of Wighton. ‘This breed 
is anew kind, partaking of the best qualities 
of the Suffolk, the Devon, and the old Nor- 
folk. It has no horns, is of a ‘true Devon 
or Norfolk red, and will get stock that will 
fatto about 50 or 60 Stone, with as little 
coarse meat as can be expected. The premi- 
um for improving meadows and pastures was 
voted to Mr. Salter, upon a certificate being 
produced, that the improvement made in the 
herbage of 20 acres, upon which pulse and 
corn were dibbled last year, without plough- 
ing, was so great, that the judges think the 
mode thus successfully practised by Mr. 
iter should be strongly recommended to 
rfolk farmers. The society then agreed 
to the Preniuay? recommended by the com- 
mittee at their last meeting, to be propused

advertised. It was also recommended by the 
President, that premiums shall be proposed 
to cottagers who shall keep bees, and produce 
the most honey. It was then recommended

be in their power to bring forward a naviga= 
tion into the interior part of the county, 
from Wells to East Dereham.
