CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND. 
Mr. Curwen’s sheep shearing, at Harrow- 
slack, was held on Thursday, June 29th-- 
The attendance was greater than on any 
former occasion: nearly 100 gentlemen and 
farmers dined with Mr. Curwen, in a tent 
erected for the occasion:—a large assemblage 
of shepherds also partook of the hospitalities — 
of the day. The show of cattle was nume- 
rous, and many admirable. specimens of the 
. Long Horn exhibited. 
| Mr. Curwen's flock 
is. greatly increased, and much improved. 
The sheep clipped well; the average of the. 
whole was 3lb. 940z.—Mr. Curwen strongly 
_ recommended attention to the improvement 
of the fleece, and instanced.the great advan. 
tages stated, py the Farming Society of Ire- 
~ land, to be gained by the cross of the South 
‘Down with the Mountain Sheep, in the coun- 
ty of Wicklow; where, in. the course ofa few 
years, the practice and \the breed were’ (to- 
gether) become almost universal.—The first 
and second premiums for cloth, given by that. 
Society, were both adjudged to cluth manu- 
-factured entirely of South Down Wool. » 
The superb mansion, now erecting by the 
Earl of Lonsdale, at Lowther, in Westmore- 
land, isin great torwardness. 
of this noble edifice was laid on the 29th of 
December, 1806. The: fronts (there are 
two) are each of them 540 feet in length, 
and the breadth of the building is 140 feet. 
Within this area are. a number of spacious 
and magnificent apartments, such as can 
hardly be. paralleled in this kingdom. The 
grand stair-case will exceed any thing of the 
kind that is tobe met with any where. © -
