SUSjSEX. 
The annual show of cattle and sheep for 
the prizes given by the Sussex Agricultural 
Society, held Wednesday, August 7th, at 
Lewes, was, as usual, most respectably at¬ 
tended j the show of stock was not so great 
as seen in former years, except in the South- 
down rams. The piece of plate ad.-iecl to the 
srveepstakes of ninety guineas, for the best 
Southdown ram, one year old, produced a 
number of competitors, there being fourteen 
shewn of that description, and it is believed 
there never was beiore, on any occasion, ex¬ 
hibited such a pen of beautiful sheep as were 
then collected from different parts of the 
kingdom. After the company had sufficiently 
gratified their curiosity in the field, they re¬ 
tired to the Scar In.n, when about ToO sat 
down to a bra.o of b.::k.s, presented by 
t Earl o' Egre.iiont i;.e Earl ol Egrcr 
m..:'., tne n esid-nt the institution, was in 
toe c .air' ' ‘ i amongst the company present 
were the Duke of Dorse-t, Earl Talbot, Lord 
Whitworth, Lcr.d Brook, Sir H. Poole, and a 
great number of country gentlemen and visi¬ 
tors from the near as wfil as di-tant counties. 
Wde.T the cloth was remove', che noble pre¬ 
sident proceeoed to give the usual loyal and 
ag'iicu turai toasts. Mr. Hick then presented 
to Lord Egremont a highly wrought and 
magnificent piece of plate, in the name of 
the agriculturists of the county of Sussex. 
At Lewes Wool Fair there was a respecta¬ 
ble assemblage of the principal wool-growers 
and wool-staple;s. Every room at the inn 
v/as filled with company j several of the 
staplers were from London, Yorkshire, &c. 
Aitter dinner, the company from the different 
apartments assembled in the principal room 
(as many as it could containl, and Lord 
Sheffield made his annual report, from the 
chair, of the state of the wool-markets. His 
lordship said the prices of both Spanish and 
English wools were at present low; the for¬ 
mer being from 5s. to 8s 6d. per lb. best 
sorted English wool, fro.m 3s. 4d. to 3s. 8d. 
He considered it a highly unprincipled policy 
for this country to continue to import foreign 
wool, which cost some millions yearly; as it 
w'as now demonstrated, that we can raise in 
these islands wools as fine, and as well adapt¬ 
ed to our purposes, a» those that are imported. 
His lordship thought a duty of .Is, per lb. on 
foreign wools, would be supported by good 
principles. Lord Sheffield recommended to 
the w'ool-growers not to sell, if they could 
not get 2s. 3d. for the best lots; but the 
staplers refused to give more than 2s. At 
this meeting, a Urge and beautiful wrought 
piece of plate, by Ruridell and Bridge, was 
presented to Lord Sheffield, by a deputation 
from the principal gentlemen and farmers of 
Sussex, in whose name Mr. Shiffuer delivered 
the thanks of the w’ool-growers. to his lord- 
ship, and expressed the high sense they en¬ 
tertained of his indefatigable attention, for 
several years, to the subject of wool, and of 
the great advantage the county had derived 
from it. Lord Sheffield said, in replv, it cer¬ 
tainly had been his wish to be serviceable; 
and if any of his exertions as a farmer, a ma¬ 
gistrate, or as a soldier, had their approbation, 
it would be always highly gratifying to him
