The prospect of a plentiful produce in all kinds of grain, is highly gratifying throughout tht three kine.doms. '1 he Wheats are generally good in all the principal corn districts, and Nor folk and the other Barley couailes have derived the finest plants from the late genial rains that they have kilowu for many years " past. The Beans and Peas in Kent and Essex, and the Oats in Lincoln, Cambridgeshire, &c. are likely to ht nt tit abundantly by the same prollic cause. We scarcely recoil( ct to have seen the old rneadow, and other grass lands, su full of seed as they are at this early season : Hay, as the natural consequence, is -falling weekly. Early Potattiq plant well, and we are glad to see their extent of rowth rvery year increasing. The Flop Plantations of Farnham, Kent, and Sussex, look well, fur nishing the poll with plenty of bine. Lean Stock of most kinds was lower, and dull of sale, at the beginning of the month; but has had f start in beasts, from the expectation of plenty of feed. The Meat Markets have been well supplied with prime Beef, Lamb, and Nluttoni the Merino sheep, howevir, .do not yet approach the South Downs at Smithfield in price, su near as several of our principal graz*s were l•d to expect.
