MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. The country occupations at present are hedging and ditc'hing, draining, threshing, manuring, &c. From the extreme mildness of the season, very little stock as yet has been taken into the straw-yards, whilst both lands and yards, in low and undrained situations, are in a wet and poachy state, not the most salubrious for cattle. Wheat looks particularly lhattlier and well, perhaps too forward and bulky on some soils. In Norfolk, where very thick sowing has of late years become the fashion, the land in some parts is covered with such a burden of plant, as to attract the attention of strangers. Rye, tares, winter barley, and all cattle food, wear a most luxuriant appearance. The green of the meadows is of the beautiful hue of spring, aod, as bas been before observed, the quality of autumnal grass wks never better than during the present season. furnipa 'and. cabbage equally good and plentiful. Potatoes continue to rise of god quality. Hops of the first quality advanced in price, but the general sample coarse. The wool trade remains as usual dull, excepting for fine clothing wool. No re. • port of hemp grown in Suffolk or Norfolk ; formerly an ordinary crop in those counties. 'f he opinion, said to be confirmed, that the last wheat crop V/311 full one-forth short of a fair average. The must authentic intelligence from the Continent states, that the blight and mildew were universal throughout, and that prices have risen in consequence. In Ire land. the wheat is said to have escaped with the least injury. Siniuld any economical measures be thoteent necessary, to eke eut the stoe.t of whoa and Hoar on hand, it is obvious, they ought to commence with all possible speed. It k supposed, that wha:ever supplies of wheal and flour can be obtained from America, wilt be absorbed by the de mand in :-;pein and Portugal. Tee flesh markets in town and country distinguished by the ed to us ad.ual abundance ; prices not c onsidered ae exotbiLant,but expect vance in the spring. felilch cows never dearer, selling from VI to 301. each, and upwursls. Pig stock of all descriptions renew kable plenty. The ewes are lambing successfully and under favourable eircureetenees. I Smithfield market has heeu amply supplied, excepting for prime siv.- able fat beef which comman.ls a suie price r price best articles at I; the Cattle show met with a ready and advantageous sale. In consequence of a recent decision in the Court of Teieds (or Ty:hes) in Edinbtirgh, none of the Established Clergy of Scotland will have a smaller stipend than 1.501. sterling, and 81. 6s. Bd. for commu nion elements, besides a manse and glebe in the country parishes. An important fact has transpired from an eminent Norfolk grazier, respecting the Swedish turnip. After saving some part of his crop f..r seed, on pulling up the roots or apples to throw away, he discovered they were sound and nutricious, and notwithstanding the time of the ear, when the seed was gathering, his horses and other cattle fed on them with the greatest avidity. l'hls circumstance deserves serious consideration and trial. As does also the Mange! Wurzel or Sugar Beet, a root of great value, and which has been prod riuceets d in withthe th is iii e most bens ticial consequence , by a few eminent Agricultuy of I loikham, Lynn, sled Norwich. Stioceislo Cm ST R UPllE.—Fx.traa of a letter from Cardiganshire, Dec. 2.5, I 8I1.—" Whilst I was in Pembrokeshire, there happened the most awful and tremendous thunder and lightning ever known in this neighbourhothe—lt set fire to the beast-house and corn-yard at Pen. lan Lansaintpead, near Morfar Maur, which consumed the farmer's whole stock of corn, consisting of wheat , barley , oats, pease a ,and all his own hay, and a rick which had been sold to another person ; seven cows were sawed with great difficulty, and four were burnt. The dwel ling-house narrowly escaped. F.om thence the electric fluid passed by kiahits, over Tyn y Bally, without doing any damage, but struck a new farm-house, called Ty Cam. It knocked down the chimney into the middle of the house, tore off the slating in a wonderful manner, turacii up the boards of the hift (which had strongly been nailed down) on their eciges, passed through and 101!et.1 the farmer, who was in bed with his wife and two young children, ho slept on the ground-floor; the wife and children escaping unhurt.
