NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. 
On Monday, fuly 9, Mr. Sitwell’s firt 
fhew of rams, of the improved Leicefterthire 
breed, was exhibited at Barmoor-caftle, ia 
Northumberland 
At the meetings of this agricultural fociety, 
but lately eftabiidhed, were affembled up- 
wards of 450 amateurs, all in the breeding 
and grazing jine: noblemen, baronets, fata: 
lords, and tenants, from both fides of the 
‘Tweed, fat intermixed, difcuffing the advan. 
tages likely to refult from gentlemen of land- 
ed property becoming the patrons of agricul- 
tural experiments. The filver cup, for the 
beft Shearling tup, bred in Northumberland 
North Durham, was adjudged to Mr. Lowry, ’ 
whofe competitor was Mr. Jobfon, of Hed- 
gley 3 the judges were full two bours deli- 
berating before they came toa decifion. The 
ftock in general, was gratifying to the eye, as 
well as to the hand, in fleeces, weight, form, 
fymmetry, and every other point of examina- 
tion, and, as fuch, was readily engaged at con- 
fiderable prices. A fuperior Leicefter tup 
was introduced into the caftle-farm, for the 
purpofe of taking in ewes, but not to quit 
the place. In the park, or a place near to it, 
where the fheep were exhibited, was a tent 
with a collation provided for fuch of the com- 
pany as chofe to partake of a refrefhment be- 
fore dinner, many having travelled morse 
than forty miles that morning to the exhibi- 
tion. About three in the afternoon the great 
eating-reom and the faloon of the caftie were 
completely filled, and the tables were covered 
with the richeit viands. In no part of the 
United kingdom, perhaps, have greater im- 
provements taken place than at Barmoor and 
its vicinity, within the fame period. The 
oid ¢afiie has been replaced by a new one, 
rebuilt on a grand, fubfiantial and elegant 
plan; the roads and avenues to it, formerly 
very bad, are now altered and made better and 
more convenient 5 inclofing, planting and cul- 
tivating the demefne land furrounding the 
eaitle, preceded the whole, é&c. &c. 
The new turnpike road from Thirfk to 
Yarm, in the county of Durham, is now ina 
fiate of great forwardnefs. That. part of the 
roag which lies below Borrowby-hills, is al- 
ready opened, and the remaining part will be 
compleated, it is {uppofed, by the month of 
lay next enfuing.
