It required no common share of judgment to 
select such a stock, as was submitted to sale 
by Mr. Wakefield ; and though the prices at 
which they were knocked dowa, excites the 
wonder of those unacquainted with agriculta- 
sal pursuits, the experienced fermer weil knows 
that Mr. Wakefield’s unsparing expence ef 
money and exertion in the collection of this 
stock have not been too liberally rewarded. 
A sale more numerously attended has sel- 
dom taken place. The sheep sold uncom- 
monly well, and notwithstanding the wetness 
of the second day, the Devons brought large 
prices, but the great competition was for this 
gentleman’s Suffolk horses. Mr. Robinson, 
of Ireland, was the purchaser of Kyot of Oak 
the most beautiful cart stallion in the king~ 
dom. Colonel Maister bought the old horse 
Britton. Lord Chichester obtained two stal- 
lions, Sir Hugh Smith one, and Sir Henry 
Mildmay another. The Duke of Rutland, 
the Earls of Chichester and Jersey, Lords 
Heathfield and Somerville, Sirs H. Mildmay, 
W. Rowley, J. Sebright, R. Harland, and the 
Hon. Mr. Vanneck, were present among the 
mumerous graziers, farmers, and agriculturists 
who attended from all the districts of the 
kingdom.

KENT. 
The commanding engineer at Dover, has 
it in contemplation to pull down the cliff to 
the southward of the town, called Hay Cliff, 
but more general y known by the title of 
Shakespeare’s Cliff, so distinguished from the 
allusion made to it by our immortal bard in 
the play ot King Lear. The plan is as fol- 
luws. The clitt is to be lowered about fifty 
Kent. 
[ Noy. Is 
or sixty feet, so as to leave a level spacey in 
erder that a battery of twenty guns may be. 
erected, under the idea that the guns of the 
castle andheights are not able to take the 
coast to the eastward 6f the castle, and to the 
westward towards Folkestone. The perpen- 
dicular height of the clifis thought to be now 
three ec and fifty feet, and has for centu~ 
ries past excited the admiration of every be- 
holder, and is the common topic of converta- 
tion with travellers who visit the town. 
Should this cliff be lowered, as it is intended, 
‘it would tend to lessen the beauty of the place, 
and to deprive vessels at sea of a very excel- 
fent land-mark 5 but, on the other hand, 
should a Martel! 0 tower be erected, onit, in 
the state it now is, it will command the whole 
range of coast Ram the South Foreland to 
Folkestone, and would be of infinite service in 
protecting the coast. Should a landing be at- 
tempted and the enemy take shelter under the 
high clits at St. Margaret’s, it would also 
protect the heights from the enemy throwing 
snells into the place, were they to get posses- 
sion of any of the adjacent hills. Barracks 
might also be built to contain some hundreds 
of men, and the plan would add to the beauty 
and grandeur of the scene 3 at the same time 
it would not cost one-third of the expence 
which the erection of a battery would ins 
cur.
