PROVINCIALS. MONTHLY AGRICULTUR %I. REPORT. The spring-sawing has been completed in the most perfect manner; bet the weather, which has been so propitious to cul ture, has been, in an almost equal degree, nnfavourable to ve getation. Nevertheless, the spring corn, as Mr as it has ap peared. proves a most healthy and vigorous plant ; such is re markably. and most fortunately, the ease with the wheats, which are strong, luxuriant, and erect ; and the present, should tile summer prove warm, vs ill, in all probability, be a great wheat sear. From the extreme late:wss of the spring, and want ofson, well grounded apprehensions are entertained tor the fruit crop. and that we may again lie under the necessity of being genii imparting customers to our continental neighbours. All vegetation is at present so backward, that noubi g remains to be said on hops, or other spring crops. Preparatious arc •caking for the turnip colture. In Norfolk, Osford-hire, and several other counties, spring wheat has of late come mach into use as a Lent crop. A re. porn r has experienced some damage to this species from steeping the seed, mid is aware of the former mistake, that spring wheat is not liable to smut ; at the same time, apparently unapprized of the fact, that the smut of wheat possesses not the slightest power of infection. Another reporter, of too for tunate experience, decries the needless trouble of pulling and stacking turnips, whilst both in the north and south tier greater numbers of sheep and lambs than was apprekended have pe rished liom famine and the severity of the weather. (inc farmer alone, near Morpeth, is reported, it is to be hoped erro aeousls, to have lost seven thousand cheep. The markets, in their smitten vicissitudes, seem to have closely followed the 'mime of the weather. The late sudden rise on mutton might be occasioned by report of the above heavy losses. Long wool is lower in price, and less quick in sale. Corn seems inclined to fall with a rapidity equal to its late rise. The farmer's stocks are not considerable, the de mand far money having been so urgent; but the national stock is ample, even exclusive of foreign wheat in warehouse, which proves to be far below general calculation in quantity. Whilst the markets were so overladen with tsheet fur snug months past, and the distress for casb so universal, the speculators ren dered an immense service to the country. The labonrets in husbandry are still in a most deplorable state of distress, in many, or most, parts ; and,unavoidably in the present exigence, are supported in a manner highly derogatory ro free born men. Their conduct in Norfolk and Suffolk is a fold disgrace upon our national, and too Demi). approaching u Tipperary, charac ter; and it becomes a vital question, to what errors, political or practical, we are to attribute the deeply-seated sentiments of vindietive discontent in the minds of our peasantry. ALARMING RIOTS. CAMBRIDGE, MAY On Wednesday laq a most despe rate body of insurgent fen men nssembled at Littleport, in the Isle of Ely, %lime they attacked on the same night the house of , the Rev. Mr. Yacht!, a Magistrate, vtlio for tome time stood at his door armed with a pistol, thremeniog to shoot any one who should attempt to rater; when three men rnshed upon, and disnrmed him. He immediately ran up stairs to relieve his wife and two daughters, who, with very slight co s cuing, made du ir escape with hint, running neatly all the way to Ely, where they arrived soli, after midnight. The rioters then broke all the windows, and nearly demolished et ery thing in the house, burning all Mr. Vitehers valuable papers and writings, and stamping his plate miller their feet ; after which they extorted considerable sums of money from the inhabitants, and broke into two shops, helping themselves, without any one daring to oppose them. The publicans' cellars were their next object, where, after *raving drank what they liked, they got a waggon and a team of horses, raid pro ceeded for Ely, taking with them every eon and other deadly i‘,:1111.11 they could find. On their arrival at that city, they were joined by sonic of its refractory inhabitants before eight oclork on Thursday morning; when they tientanded centri• buttons from the houses and shops cf the brewers, bakers, butchers, grocers, nod Millets; which were smavoidably nted to, and a di( adfol scene of riotous ceminet ensued. 'They then proceeded to the house of Mr. Richt% eed, a where they began to break his windows, tic. hot on his wife consenting t 9 go with a h.art:. of them to the Rank, for the purpose ef giving t h e m 501 ;on obtaining that sum tiny lel his Leese ttitheut co:emitting any further depredations; but THE NATIONAL REGISTErt on their return broke the windows and doors of On burble of a person who sold flour, together with great part of the fund tin e.

An Ipswich Paper states, that the riots in that neighbour hood have been less frequent toeing the last week than for some previous weeks. On Weduesdav , however (continues that puler), J. Mayes the younger. of Stoke, near Clare, Sulroik was Chilrgt: , l with having threatened to set fire to a barn belonging, to Gen. Fie's, and, having given surety for the peace ; as the law retinires, ss as dischat ged. In conse qiienee of the arrest of this (Mender, smite of the ntivgoided populace assembled, and proceeded to break up a I hrashing. machine in the neighbourhood ; but the General having, with a very laudable promptitude, procured the attendance of same military force, at the very crisis of flee riot, the ringdeaders were wised and committed for triul. On Monday week a great numb( r of persons of the labouring class assembled at Southery, in Norfolk, and it tttttt Aiately proceeded for Down ham, between whirl. places a bou t seven miles distance) they forced the labourers from their houses and work to join them. They commenced their scene of action by catering the shops of the millers and bakers, and taking away flour, bread, .s:e. At Mr. W. Baldwin's mill a great many sacks of wheal-meal were thrown into the yard, and %Hied. They then proceeded to the publicans, and demanded the, which wits brought iu pails into the street. They next went to the Crow it Inn, and drove the 31agistrates ( o Ito were balding weekly Sittings) from the roams into the street. Afterwards they proceeded to the butchers, whose shops they cleared. The Upwcil Imp of Cavalry at length appeared, when the ')lagi , trates read the Riot Act ; several gentlemen narrowly escaped with lite, from brick-bats, stones, clubs, &e. With the aid of special consta bles, however, ten men and four women were takes and put into confinement, and the test gradually dispersed; fortunately HO lives were Inst. The following morning the Magistrates directed the inhabitants to arm themselves, and, in a short time, the tows wore a formidable appearance ; the inhabitants, with time cavalry, proceeded to meet the rioters; when an amicable agreement was made, which induced the latter to return peaceably to their homes. The appearance of the apple and pear-trees in this country is generally faviairable; and, owing to the backward season, sanguine hopes are entertained of a tine blossom, and a fair crop of fruit. to some places the trees ore a little injured by blight; but, upon the whole, they promise very well.—Herefurd It is the opinion of experienced persons, that a fair crop of apples and pears may be expected.—llore(g. r Jour:, ii. There appeared lately in the Chester Conrad a paragraph, stating that 31 men employed in herd Gross enor's mine at (Lakin, blear Flintshire, had been turned out of work, because they were dissenters frum the Church of England. Abort 'don night ago they addressed a Most respectful petition to the Noble Lord; in which they stated the number of their respec tive families, and the length of their servitude, many has ing been 15 and 20 years in his Lordship's service. This petition, it would appear, had not been answered so soon as was ex pected; and, in consevence, on Saturday sennight, "The Friends of Religions Liberty" held a public meeting in the Welch Chapel, in Chester," for the purpose of devising a luau for the relief of the distressed miners at Halkin." A list of resolutions was submitted fur the consideration of the meeting; when a gentleman rose and stated, that he was authot•ised to say, that information was daily expected front Lord Gross tuor on the 'subject, and he hoped the men wenld shortly be rein stated; and on this ground he should move an adjournment tisstil Wednesday, which was unanimously agreed to. Pre ions, however, to the adjournment, a graut of 101. was ordered for the immediate relief of the distressed hotlines. We have pleasure in adding, that though thus dismissal dist :lethally take place, it originuted entitTly in a mistake of his Lordship's Agent. His Lord-hip had simply desired, that Isis workmen should be encouraged to go to Church (instead of wasting their time and %pending their carniugs idly on Sundays); mid Ids aim would have been equally gained by messing those of his werkmen, who were dissenters, to attend to their own place of worship; hut, the Agent taking the recommi :Walton its its hitsral raid illiberal sense, dismissed the hitter. We under stand that orders have since been given by his Lordship, that no person shall be dismissed,or excluded ItUal employmesst, ou account of his religious opinions. Monday night some miscreant fired a gun into the chamber window.of It. Bernard, Esq. the May or of Newbury; the charge of shot lodged a little above 31t.

This promise wa , however, broken, and the peasants of the neighbourhoo , intiarmed of the eireutustsnce, presented themselves, v..- rionsly armed, to the amount of lt or 1500, bethre Gre noble, for the purpose of demanding his release. They wt re tired upon, and hence arose the recent disturbance in thlit qmarter. The massacre at Niswcs began at the celebration of a Protestant's wedtlng.
