The spring ploughing match and annual sheep shearing of the Wiltshire Society for the encouragement of Agriculture, &c. were held at Marlborough on Wednesday. Thirteen ploughs were started in the different classes for the several premiums offered by the Society, which were awarded as under, viz.
In the 1st class, being 2 horses without a driver, the 1st premium was awarded to
And.Sprewells, a servant of
Mr.Goodman of Fyfield, with Tickel's two-wheel plough, who ploughed his half acre in 2 hours and 14 minutes; the 2d to

Mr.King, of Overton, with Tickel's two-wheel plough, who ploughed his half acre in 2 hours and 18 minutes.
In the 2d class, being 2 oxen without a driver, there was no competition, there being only one candidate, namely,
Wm.Sprewells, servant to
Mr.Goodman of Fyfield, with Tickel's two-wheel plough, who ploughed his half acre in 2 hours and 48 minutes; but his work was performed in a very meritorious manner, and the judges felt it their duty to award him the first premium.
In the 3d class, being either with 3 horses and a driver in 2 hours and a half, or with 4 oxen and a driver in 3 hours and a quarter, the 1st premium was awarded to
G.Ash, servant to
Mr.Goodman of Fyfield, with Tickell's plough, who ploughed his half acre in 2 hours and 7 minutes; the 2d to
David Pickett, servant to
Mr.Budd of Winterbourne, with Tickell's two-wheel plough, who ploughed his half acre in 2 hours and 36 minutes; and the third to

Geo.Comner of Milton.
In the 2d class, the 1st premium was awarded to
Isaac Risen of Ogbourn; the 2d to
Ed.Worrall of Aldbourne; and the third to

There were no less than 18 competitors for the above premiums, and the work was generally executed in a very skilful manner.
Only two claims for the premiums for shepherds rearing lambs were delivered to the secretary, viz.one from
David Hiscock, shepherd to
Mr.Simpkins of Staunton, who reared 380 lambs from 375 ewes, and the other from
John Rabbits, shepherd to
Mr.Grant, of Manningford Bruce, who reared 407 lambs from 414 ewes; but in consequence of some informality in one of the certificates, the decision was referred to the committee to be assembled on the day previous to the next annual meeting.
The committee were favoured with the company of a very respectable party of members and their friends to dinner, which was provided by
Mr.White of the Castle Inn. The
Marquess of Ailesbury, with great liberality, presented the committee with a side of beautiful venison, the fattest we think we ever saw; and on the cloth being removed, the health of the noble donor was drunk with three times three, in the most enthusiastic manner. A variety of other toasts succeeded, and we need hardly add that the evening was spent in a most convivial and happy manner, and highly to the satisfaction of all present.
At the above meeting we understand
Mr.Stothert of Bath exhibited his patent self-adjusting plough, of which the judges spoke in favourable terms; the draft we hear, is diminished at least 20 per cent, by the judicious alteration which he has the merit of having introduced, and which promises to be productive of important advantages.

On Monday last, being Trinity Monday, the friendly society of Tollard Farnham held their annual meeting; the members proceeded, accompanied by their band, to Church, where an impressive sermon was delivered by the
Rev.Mr.West, Rector of Chettle; after which they partook of an excellent dinner at their club room, and the evening was spent in great harmony.

Mr.Willis;
Mr.F.Pitman, president, in the chair. After the cloth was removed, the secretary read the report of the preceding year, stating the enrolment of many new members, and the increased state of the fund, which diffused general satisfaction. Many loyal toasts and sentiments were introduced by the honorary members present, and the evening was passed in social and convivial enjoyment.
Wild Ducks - A sporting gentleman in the neighbourhood informs us that he has known two instances of wild ducks building their nests in the tops of pollard willow trees hanging over a river, from whence, he imagines, (although he has never witnessed it) that the old birds push their young when of sufficient maturity into the water immediately underneath.
