We should gratefully contrast the aspect which the fields now present, with the-state of things in the beginning . of May ; when a Member of Presbytery, with a rue. tel countenance, informed his brethren, that on his 'way to the Meeting he had seen a farmer sowing and harrowing his seed in the snow.

Spooner:FN." et the last Casabridge . Assizes, a point of very con ' alders hie importance to the Public was brought under the notice of the Court. Mr. Sweeting, the . Under Sheriff, having been 'ailed upon to state the practice es tothi charges levied under execution., said, " the constant practice had been to levy under all execu tions the amount of the levy, pouedige, Officer's fees, and all other expellees. incurred in making the levy. Upon which Bruton Graham declared, that Once the Statute passed in the 43d year of his pre. fent Majesty's reign, Sheriffs were confined to levy ing the sum endorsed upon the writ and the poundage only, and that their officers hod no right'to make any charge whatever. The Legislitore had consi. tiered Is. in the pound upon the first 1001. and 6d. In the pound on any greater sum, a full compen‘a. lion for the levy ; and that it rested with the Sheriff to satisfy their officers for their trouble in business of this nature, and not the parties whose goods and chattels were taken in execution.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION. At half.past five o'clock yesterday afternoon, the inhabitants between the Obelisk, St. George's.fieldo, and the Asylum, were thrown into great censierna. rioa bya terrific explosion, occasioned by the ignition of a large quantity of gunpowder and detonating cam. bustibles, tsarina:elided into fire•works, as we are in. formed, for Yaoakall Oirdeos.

What. will the Public think whet, they are informed, that Mock Pepper is imported in large Wee. What is Mock Pepper they will naturally ask ? We shall inform them—a little of the sweepings of a ship in which Pepper has been imported, called Pepper Duet, mix. ed with a large quantity of Pipe Clay, moistened with water, and while soft, artfully formed into small round balls resembling the Seed Pepper. Of this composition, Mock Pepper, both white and black, may be had in abundance; for to makr the black ills only necessary to moisten the composition with a solution of copperas, in a decoction of logul wood, or, cheaper still, in Tanner's nose.
