LLO I'D'S LISIIS'. PROF! CIA LS. MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT, FOR APRIL. The check which the young wheats have received during the present mouth, has been extremely beneficial in preventing the over-luxuriance which the fineness of the preceding month had caused in all those which had been put in at an early period. It has likewise had a good effect on those which were late sown, which on the whole look well. In England and Wales, wheat avermees 91s. 10d. per quarter; barley, 445. Ild.; and oats, 325. 6d. The badness of the weather, and the snow which has fallen in many parts during thi.. month, has much retarded the, business of the field, in different situations, much less seed-grain having been got into the growd than would oilferwise have been the case. In many places tai., lands have been so soaked and satu rated with water, that it ha, been quite impossible to tow them. The grazing, stock of all kinds has, however, gone on well, as much food has been produi:ed by the warmth of the.weather is March. Grass Lamb is just getting pleu.iful in the country as well as town markets. The prices of all descriptions of fat stock however still keep up. In Smithfield Market, Beef fetches front ss. to 65.-td. perstone of Sib. ; Mutton from 6s. 4d. to 6s. hd. ; and Pork, from 6s. to 7s. There are plenty of pota toes for setting this season; hut the extent of land which had been planted with them this month, has not been nearly so great as usual, probably :rom . the badness of the season. The busi ness of repairing the fences, and of dressing and rolling the grass lands, has in tratr, places been well performed. The country folks of Hartford Bridge have been much dis turbed of late by a report that a ghost haunts the cottage nearly opposite the inn where the .coaches smp. It does not appear that the good people have been shocked by a sight of the appa rition, and from his politeness in this respect, it is supposed be Is some courtly well bred London spirit, who prefers an invi sible situation. Unlike the generality of ghosts, it admires good eating and drinking, wine and provisions are constantly sent from the Inn, and delivered to a footman, who lays the same in the way of the invisible spirit. The country people have never seem any human being belonging to the Cottage, e x cept the footman and two female servants. In the night of Thursday the 13th instant, a part of the em bankment of the Grand Junction Canal, Great-Linford, Buck., gave way, by which considerable damage was sustained on the lands adjoining. The accident is said to have arisen from springs that could not he discovered till the mischief occurred, which are now completely guarded against ; and had it not been for the immediate exertions of the servants of the Company (to wh►►m the alarm was given by some persons who were near that place), in letting down the floodgates, the consequence must have been dreadful, as there were several inhabited huts near Where the bank gave way. We are, however, happy to state, that the defect is already repaired, and the canal once more in a state of perfect security for traffic. A wanton act of cruelty was perpetrated ye s terday' se'nn►ght, in Cawsand-hay, by a marine of the mime of Walker, belong ing to the Defiance, who discharged his musket at a poor oIJ watermao, then plying at a considerable diatance in kis post. 9I) A V'.
