AGRICITI.TURAT. Rr.potrr FOR SF.PTRAIRER. The new Wheats having been r.o drily harvested, have been freely -threshed out an tit.- coasts of Essex and Kent, and shipped for Mark • line, where, trout their superior quality and weight, they have coin. minded increasing prices. The light soils in the home districts hav ing experienced some mildeW before cutting. their wheat produce has sulkred from it considerably ; hut the general growth of England has hf.en abundant. Battey. though of large average -produce. is not so file in quality or colour, as the growth of last year. Oats are likely to rise largety, and Beans and Pease were scarcely ever rememf - ered a fuller crop. Clover Seed. on strong lan Is, promises well. The latter Turnips have come on since the late rains, but were too long set by the dry , weather to produce a crop. The late sown Cole-seed, Flint kindly. Clover-legs. front the late showers, break up well for Wheat, and t h e fallowed lands that continue under a spirited system of husbandry, appear, in general, bright, and full of tilt!) ; but the uncultivated state of many thousands of acres in most districs. affords too lamentable a demonstration of the impolicy, in neglecting the re strictinu on foreign imports so long, The Grass seed continues short in most parts, aid Hay is advancing in proportion accordingly. The Mop counties have varied much in produce; but half a crop is the full extent that is ca'eilated upon. The Meat markets have an abun dant supply on last month's low terms. Lean „Stock, of any kind, fads, with difficulty, a saleable market, at still lower prices. Wool is rat herl on the advange, particularly for - long fleeces which have reached 555. per todd. Tur Dit EA Ita ND FA TA L Acri or NT ,Wednesday sennight. as James Curry; sop of Mr. John Curry, of Temple Cloud, was riding home from Bristol to Temple, in Mr. lholden's waggon, in attempting to get nut, at the bottom of Pensford Iliil (without stopping the horses), fie unfortnuntely Cell under the a heels, both of which passing Over his tights, (Lectured and lacerated them in a most dreadful manner. Ile was immediately conveyed back to the British Infirmary, where the p roe fellow languished until Saturday, and then expired. The itnme diite cause of the accident was singularly remarkable :—Being asleep in the waggon, the unfortutuee young man dreamt that he was driving his father's horse and cart, (an occfmation he was much accustomed us) anme.s here in the neighbourhood of Camerfon; and that the horse be jug in danger of running into the canal, he, wills great earnestness, jumped out of the front of !lie waggon (which, iu lis dream, appeared to him like his own cart) to lay hold of the horse by the head, and in so • doing unfortunately fell under the wheel, and lost his life The following circumstance lately occurred at Mr. G. Knock's, Brix ton farm, at Charing•heath, Kent :—A few nights ago, about nine o'clock, Mrs. K. being in the kitchen, heard a slight noise in the chil dren's bed room, and while li,tenine, Mr. K. who, with a friend. was s Itiag at the window, saw by the.hght of the moon something, app. rttnily.iss white, dust swiftly across the orchard, which he supposed was a man from the cellar window, which -had been left open; he , ately pursued, but lost sight of it at the end of the orchard. Mrs. K. being 4uformed of this, ran out, and mut her husband returning ; shrieks and cries of distress were then heard, whicir she exclaimed was tier son's voice, both in consequence proceeded across the field to their next ereightiour's house, %slime they found their son, John, about 12 years of age, just taken ant of a pond, quite naked. It appeared, that in his 41( . 1 1 , he had, umped out of a chamber window, 14 leo high, nod that . and Mrs Judge, the neiglsbnurs, had heard a dash into the pond, whore, on their approach, they found the poor boy immersed up to the neck in eater. Ile recollected nothinr , bat the idea, that he had been persued by some one to kill him. On Monday evening lest, while Mr. Wilson, of Mincing-lane, Tower street, was on his return twin Wahhamstow to London, he was met by a Lascar seaman near Lea-bridge, who suddenly jumped from the road.

Mr. Wilson for a mnraent hesitated, and affected to put his hand towards his socket in compliance, when, how zeor, foetunately being provided with a stick, he breeght the taint') 1 with a blo w t o the {(round, who loudly screamed. At this moment two errher lAscars rushed from behind the hedge, the one armed with a ketre, the other with a sword, and Mr. Wilson not thinking it prudent t ~ e act timer...these desperadoes, fled with precipitation.—Shortly after, he gave information Of the circumstance, and a secret eas iustituted ~f, A f" the ifet buoters, but ts:th• - ,ut ei. et. 8.19 . Tippling at public-houses has always been fatal in its effells spas the lower class, and its baneful consequences have trequintly ex tended to those in higher stations of life. This truth has lately beets verified by the conduct of a young man, who lived opon his owu. estate, the son of a respectable widow woman, at Rettend..n. Essex.

The first tfnse they stole three sacks of wheat undiscovered ; the last time four sacks were taken, nue of which having a hole in it, so scattered whvA, that fell in the track of the wheels, enabled Mr. Bak( r t , follow the cart directly to the house of the delinquent. —Mr. Baker, without , uspielatt that he had discovered the oat rider, rather *opposing some one bad borrowed the rart, called tip the owner ho, instead or joining in pursuit of the offender, ran out back way and endeavoured to escape. On being overtaken, he confessed the oo'etwe, but de• alined giving that information which would otherwise have enabled.
