MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.—The fine nefs of the feafon has enabled the farmers to put in their wheat crops with much facility, and in a very perfea manner, even in the more northern parts of the ifiand ; and the late mild rains mutt have had a highly beneficial effea in promoting their vegetation. The potatoe and other root crops have been mottly taken up, in the more fouthern parts of the kingdom ;and though in ge nerd good, iv refpea to quality, are not fo large or produ)ive as is often the cafe in lets dry fiafons. The drynefs of the feafon, in the beginning of the month, afforded good opportunities for putting manure upon the grafs lands; and much was of courfe got out in thofe diftrias where it is the cut . - tom to apply it at this period of the year. The paftures in many places have been fo greatly re fretbed and improved by the {powers that have fallen during the lalt ten days, that the ftock may remain in them, without any inconvenience, for fome time to come, if the weather continues mild.

On Saturday a new Comedy, (as it is called), from the prolific pen of Mr. RZYNOLDS, intitled Delay: and Blunder:, was performed at this Thea tre for the firft time.—The following are its prin cipal Dramatic Perfona and Rory Henry Sapling - Mr. Lawn.

Lieutenant St. Orme, againft the confent of Sir Frederic Dela uny,married Amelia, his only daugh ter, and fled with her to America ; where, being involved in diftrefs, Mrs. St. Orme returned to England, to folicit the affiftance of her father.— Sir Frederic, waiting to feparate her from her huf hand, invented (tortes of her falfehood ; and foon after informed St. Orme by letter, that Amelia had detected his intrigues, and, maddening at his bafenefs, was fevered to delirium—was infane. St. Orme haftily anfwered, ‘, I charge you to con fine her : if the efcapes, my mifery is everlafting;" —and, with his daughter Lauretta, flew to his unhappy wife's relief. On his arrival Sir Frederic refilled to let him fee her. St. Orme, followed by Lauretta, rufhed into his prefence, and demanded falisfaelion. Sir Frederic declined the meeting : S . Orme prefented him a piftol, and, on Sir Fre deric's grafping it to five his life, St. Orme con ceived it an acceptance of the challenge, and fired. Sir Frederic fell, and Tome time afterwards ex ,pired, bequeathing (in the cafe of her recovery), his whole eftate to his daughter ; but, dreading (till her hutband's interference, he named his fuc ceffor her truftee, who profecutes St. Orme for the murder; and confines Amelia after her recovery, in order to keep poffeflion of the property. He likewife thews Amelia St. Orme's letter, defiring that the may be confined, and thus makes her be lieve that he is her enemy and tyrant. The Play opens with Lauretta coming from her retreat on the mountains, to vifit the county gaol where her father is confined for the murder. She perfuades the gaoler to deliver to him a fmall wicker baiket,and receives in return the following written anfwer :=" Retire to your retreat, and never forget that you alone were prefent at the murder, and that there's no other witnefs to con. via me." She obeys him inftantly ; but is after wards difcovered, and feized by the profecutor Sir Edward ;—when Henry Sapling refcues her, and to fecure her efcape, places her in a farm houfe, where the meets her mother. St. Orme is acquitted by the delay: and Wender: of Paul Poft pone ; and Lauretta reconciles him to her mother by means of a tranfparency of the Veftal buried alive; while Sir Edward in contrition, declares, that Sir Frederic had died a natural death, and not as was fuppofed immediately by the hand of Sr Orme. There is a fort of underplot, in which Honoria, the ward of Old Sapling, is united to her lover, young Sapling, a naval officer, after many delays, alfo occafioned by blunders and miaakes, which produce much jealoufy between Old Sapling and his wife, and alto lead Honoria to furpea the fide- lity of her lover. Such are the materials of which Mr. REYNOLDS, in his ufual way, has conftrutied a Drama that in tome parts is truly diverting, as it exhibits cari cature 'ketches not fo outre but that they are re cognifable in our general walks in fociety.—Henty Sapling, perfonated by LEWIS, is a very well drawn portrait of a naval officer of a warm heart, but of little worldly experience, made the dupe of mere tricious fentiment. The blundering lawyer, ad mirably performed by FAWCETT, is the molt pro minent charther of the piece. —The introduaion of his diminutive Lordfhip, Orlando & Courcy, gave Tome offence, and indeed we advife Mr. REYNOLDS to cafhier him altogether, inffead of whom we could have walled Lady Senfitive had been intro duced, if it had only been for a few minutes. Of the ferious part of the play we cannot fpeak greatly in approbation. The Story is too much of the German texture to fuit the genuine tattle of a Britifh audience,and the language is too pompous and inflated. A piece called a Comedy, opening with a view of a prifon, in which a perfon is con fined for murder, makes, at the moment, rather a queeriffi impreffion upon an audience ufed to the legitimate produaions of a Comoaiv r, a HOADLY, and a SH ERIDAN ; but to fuch as relifh fuch Gothic nonfenfe, we have only to obferve—De non elifputandum. The performers of Saturday night were all ex tremely perfea in their parts, and their efforts were crowned with univerfal approbation. Lrwt on his entrance, in confideration of his late alarm ing indifpofition, was received with a triple burft orapplaufe. Musings was uncommonly happy in Sapling, though it is a part rather ont of his ufual walk. But the moft chafe :Laing of the evening was Ex ELY'S Yorkfhire Clown. The Prologue and Epilogue, fpoken by BRUN TON, and MrS.MATTOCIS, were both very languid produaions ; the latter in particular, though from a tip-top manufaaory ( that of Mr. Au Dams ), and delivered by fo excellent an aarefs, failed in all its intended points : but no wonder, the exhaufted &Nat was that of Air Balloons, and Cockney trips to Calais ; of which John Bull has fome rea fon to be attained. The play was given out by Mr. Lewis with general applaufe. In the After piece Mifs Itstvit appeared, for the firft time, in Rena, the fongs of which charaaer the fung with con(iderable area. The Houfe was uncommonly crowded. The manner in which the Comedy is brought forward relied' great credit on the managemet of Mr. HARRIS. All the fcenes are new, and the dreffes teftify his tale and liberality. OLD BAILEr. Saturday ten prifoners were tried, two of whom were convicted of manflaughter, viz. James Brifeoe, James Denham, and jarvir Were charged with the murder of ThomAs Pamph lin, by giving him a wound in the upper part of the belly, with a knife, in Compton Itrcet, Clerk enwell, on the 4th of Odober laff. Mr. CONST and Mr. KN AP P were Connfel for the profecution ; Mr. ALLEY for two of the pri foners, Brifcoe and Denham, and Mr. KNowLvs for Baker, againit whom there was very little evidence. John Shevenan laid, that he was fervant to a tripeman, and knew the deceafed for about fix months. Having met each other on the evening of the 4th of Odober, they went to a public houfe, and on coming away, the deceafed, though not drank, was fomewhat the worfe for liquor. They agreed to go home together, and he defcribed the local fituatton of the places they had to pals through. On coming near the Harrow, public houfe, in Compton-flreet, the w;tnefs was a little, way before the deceafed, and paired two young women, one at the door, and the other coming out of a green !hop, who turned out to be the caufe of this unfortunate tranfaftion : the deceafed caught hold of one of them ; he was not clear whether he did it by defign, or whether he miffed his ftep, and fo fell againft her. lie heard her fay, lam not one of that fort." The deceafed replied, I like you the better for that." He then heard the name of Jem called-out; on which he turned round to the deceafed, and alked him to come along home. He had fcarcely fpoke the words, 'when three men furrounded the deceafed ; he fuppofed them to conic from the Harrow public houfe.— Brifcoe was the first who doled with Pamphlin, Smith followed, and Denham was the next. He faw Brifcoe make two or three blows at Pamphlin with his 0, as he fuppofed ; but he could difcern no more, as feveral others then came round him, and feparated him from his friend. Denham was one of them. After a fhort time, he was enabled to make his efcape, and run up Compton-ftreet.— He had not got far when the deceafed came run ning after him. He waited for him, when the de ceafed aficed him (the witnefs) how he came off? Witnefs replied, he only felt a blow he had re ceived in his face. The deceafed raid, he had not come off fo well, for he felt his fide exceedingly fore. They then parted, and went to their refpec tive homes. On his crofs-examination he denied that Brifcoe was knocked down ; but Paid, that Pamphlin was a Rout man, and twice as big as Bi ifcoe. The language made ufe of to the two women, he ad mitted to be highly indecent and fcandalous. A perfon who lodged in the fame room with the deceafed, defcribed the manner of his coming hOme on the night of the 4th of 06tober ; lying down on the bed without pulling off his clothes, which induced the witnefs, at firft, to conclude that he was in liquor, After remaining in, that manner for fame time, the candle went out, and the wit nefs defiring Pamphlin to undrefs himfelf and go' to bed, he complained a good deal, and laid he was not able. The witnefs then got another candle, and helping him to undrefs, obferved that his fide was very bloody, and that he had received three wounds with Tome (harp inftrument, one on the left fide of the belly, which appeared to be the mat fevere, another in the right fide of the belly, and the third in the back, juft under the blade bone, in confequence of which he applied tor,the affiftance of a Surgeon, and the deceafed was conveyed to an Hofpital. The clothes of the deceafed were then produced and exhibited. The jacket had a large cut in the back, near the fhoulder, and the waiftcoat and shirt, which were much clotted with blood, had the marks of the two wounds given on each fide of the belly. The cuts had all the appearance of having been made by a knife. Wm. Smith,the witnefs on whole teitimony at the laft examination before the Magiftrates, the prifo ners were ordered to Newgate, and who on that oc cafion was admitted to be an evidence for the crown, Rated that he was with the prifoner on the 4th of Odober, in the Harrow public-houfe, together with the prifoner's wife and her filler. About half paR nine o'clock in the evening, the girls went out to buy apples ; be followed loon after,!and faw two young men behaving exceeding impudent to them, and ufing very grofs language. Mrs. Brifcoe went into the public-houfe, and called_her hufband, who immediately came out, and pulled from his pocket a clafp knife, which he opened, and went up to one of the men. Denham followed with a knife that opened like a razor. They both cut away at the men, and made them fly. He did not fee the men Rrike again. After they were gone, Brifcoe re turned to the public-houfe, and, as he entered the door, gave Jarvis Baker a knife ; exclaiming— " Here, take the knife I have been ufing." He knew the knife, for that afternoon as he and Brifcoe were coming from Merlin's Cave, Brifcoe Paid, he believed he had loft his knife ; but on feel ing his pockets he found it there, pulled it out, and (hewed it him. Witnefs, the prifoners, and the two girls, Raid at the Harrow till eleven. While they were there; a good deal of converfation took place refparting this matter, and Brifcoe in particular talked of it more than once as a bloody row. There did not at this time appear to be any fufpicion that a murder was committed. He did not fee Baker do any thing. The knife (hewn by Brifcoe, he Paid, had a buckhorn handle. On being crofs-examined, he admitted, that one of the women faid to the deceafed, a we are not of your fort," and that he replied, he liked her the better for it, but the language, on the whole, was very atrocious. He came out of the houfe for a certain occafion, before the women were addreffed by Pamphlin, whom he did not fee coming up, as his back was to them at that time.—He did not himfelf interfere in the fray, and never faid to any one, that he had himfelf (truck the deceafed, or given him the wound. He did not fee Brifcoe knocked down, and at the time the parties came out of the public houfe, the two men, Pamphlin and Sherenan, were going away, and bad got - ..,•=11
