At a meeting of ;espectable gentlemen, 
held at Bristol, on Monday June 18th, it 
‘ was resolved to form anvinstitution, to be 
called, «‘ The Bristol Institution for the Cure 
of Diseases of the Eye, amongst the Poor;’’ 
and subscription-books were opened at the 
different banks in aid of this benevolent 
pian. 
Dr. Parry’s auction of fine- webihed sheep 
at Summer-hill (Bath), was attended by a 
large and respectable company of agrieultu- 
rists, and the prices given were genefally 
high. A ram, pu rchased | by one of the first 
breeders in the kingdom for 75 guineas, «was 
afterwards valued by him at 200; and i160 
guineas were offered and refused ae another, 
When it is considered that these purchases © 
were wholly made by clothiers and farmers 
by profession, looking out for immediate 
profit, and altogether uninfluenced by the 
fancy and fashion which direct the choice of 
noblemen and gentlemen amateurs, a fair 
conclusion: may be drawn’ in favour of the 
Superiority of this flock, in the united excel- 
lencies of wool and carcase 3 and it is pleasing 
that so just a tribute’ should have heen paid 
to the age breeder, for his patriotic exer- 
tions for the benefit of his country, in this 
important branch of agriculture.

man’s hounds from their kennel to assist his

tised by his own father and Mr. Hardiman

bis propensity for the chase, that he would 
sit up whole winter nights to get his work 
forward, in order to hunt on foot the next 
morning. Latterly he was obliged-to part 
with his hounds ; but even to the latter end 
of the last hunting season, he would meet 
the fox hounds on foot; and almost to the
