But the main attraction of course was the Panto mime. There wits a new one fin. the occasion, en titled "Harlequin and Don Qui.vA tw Sancho Panza in hes Ginty" As a Pantomime it vlaytgl well That Genius of Fun, Grimaldi, made an admirable Sancho Panza; and, with the assistance et u real •lonkey, that would have been a fine study tin.

The Don Quixote of Norman was well dress ed, and sustained with becoming ridiculous serious ness.

Fait..--In aid of thenMitylathlahle institution, cstablls.wd throughout the country lur the improve. meat of Agriculture, I consider that it may be de. sirable that an Agrieulturist who may hit upon any, ' new and apparently heneficiul practice should offer• dt to the *take of the public. In the month of June last IC sowed my crop oI Swedelend turnips, broad cast. In the mouths of September, O.tober ► end until 10th Novem ber (having ?reviously hoed the turniJ' twice), I continued to dibble wheat over 36 acres of my turnip crop in rows, for the mod part ninit inches asunder, but a small part put in by the acre. contrary to toy intention, excee.led that distanc. , . The wheat came up well, and on the '24th instant 250 down sheep were turned on the turnips and wheat, where they arc now fe ding. %veil supplied b....sides with hay in racks, which are not left more than 24 hoots un the same spot, lest the ground around them should be too much tro.iden. The ground from which the turnips and whey have been already eaten, and which u week ago Was 113 green us a meadow, has now at a small distance the appearance of fallow. The moat practice in cultivating turnip wheat has been to plough and sow atter the turnips have; • been eaten, which has too ofiest been the occasion of sowing the Wheat .►t a late season, and also of the • blight whielt is usually attendant un late sown wheat. The practice now offered to notice admits of sowing us early as may be dei.ired. It saves ono ploughing and a very considerable quantity ascot': fly the treading of the sheep, and the manure they calve behind them, the wanted firmness is given Icy a crop of wheat to the light turnip soil, and a vigo runs vegetation to the wheat sown on it. This method also appears to have the further re• commendation at this period of:An-ding a very cue., siderbible scope fur manual labour. • It is well known that wlelit supplies etc:client substitutes fbr almost all the other kinds of grain, while none of them can well be used as the substi lute for wheat. Hence perhaps might arise an ad vantage in sowing wheat by this method on turnip ground, instead of barley at all times of an expected scarcity of bread CUM Should any Agriculturist feel inclined to notice the experiment of dibbling wheat Amon k ," the grows ing crop of turnips, and then eatiog both off by sheep, he shall be %volcanic to ow so ai any time between this s and harvest, an application to my bailiff, George Field, at Wigan 1 lalloear WutColkl, Ileris, where the crops are. The insertion of :his letter in your valuable Puy pct., might perhaps he agreeable to SOUL: of your Agricultural Readers, and would oblige, Sir, your very obedient, humble Savant, T. DEACON.
