AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. A very interesting and valuable report has been issued by the Statistical Department of the Board of Trade, giving an abstract of the agricultural returns for 1868. The returns for 1867 are printed with them, in orde;-to afford a comparison of the results of the two years. 111 r. Fonblanque informs ns that the required information has this year been snore rea,lily obtained from the occupiers Of land, and more care has been taken, to state the actual acreage and number of live sto;;It, As the prejudice at first exiating among agricultitists against official returns threatened to prove a formidable obstacle in the way of their accuracy and completeness, it is very satisfactory to find that such prejudiceis dying out, and that the farmer himself has learned the value of the i statistics thus collected. At present the system is but fn its infancy, as this is only the third year as retards the average crops, and the second as regards live stock. The task of tabulating the forms, of grouping them into classes of crops, of computing the percentage proportion; and of testing their accuracy, demands both time and labour, and the public are indebted both to the Board of Trade and to the Inland Revenue for the manner in which these departments have discharged their arduous tasks. The statistics laid before us are full of interest. Thet total number of acres under all kinds of crop, tarts, fallow, and grass, in the United Kingdom in 1868 was 45,652,000, being 265,000 in excess of the 'total in 1867, and 1,307,000 in excess of the total in 1866. The Increase in 1868 is, however, chiefly due to the increased acreage of permanent pasture, returned in Great Britain in 1867 under a more comprehensive heading. Of the 45,652,000 acres returned in 1868, 11,659,000 were under corn crops, or an increase of 227,000 acres as compared with 1867 ; 4,865,000 under green crops, or a decrease of 170,000 acres, exclusive of potatoes, in which the acreage was larger in 1868 than in 1867 by 84,000 acres—. 50,000 in Great Britain, and 34,000 in Ireland. 984,000 acres were under bare fallow ; 5,609 000 under clover and other rotation grasses ; and 22,164,000, or nearly one half the total acreage returned, were under permanent pasture. In each division of the kingdom the acreage under wheat was larger in 1868 than in 1857, the total increase amount. ing to 30,000 acres. Under barley there is a marked decrease of 92,000 acres in England ; indeed, the decrease was 112,000 acres, but it was counteracted by an increase in the other parts of the kingdom. In oats there is an increase ; in turnips a decrease, possibly due to the long drought, which frightened the agriculturists. Th 4 acreage under flax in Great Britain is distinguished for the first time in last year's returns. There were 15,828 acres in England, 169 in Wales, and 1,546 in Scotland. In Ire land the acreage under flax was 206,446. The percentage of acreage in the returns are exclusive of hops in Great Britain and flax in Ireland. Coming to the live stock, we find a marked increase in the number of cattle and sheep ever 1867. In Great Britain the increase of cattle a nounted to 430,(00, but in Ireland there is a decrease of 82,000 totally unaccounted for. The increase in sheep, again due to Great Britain, amounts to 1.790,000. In pigs alone there is a decrease amounting to 1 , 0 32,000 • for the United Kingdom, though in this respect Ireland has the advantage. The high price of food accounts for the disparagement of this kind of stock. The returns give some valuable details of the percentage of corn crops to the total acreage, and of the proportionate number of live stock to every 100 acres under crop, div:d . ng the whole of England into two groups, the corn-growing and the grazing counties. In the grazing counties the proportion of corn crops is as low as 10 per cent., and not higher than 33 per cent., while in the corn-growing counties the proportion of corn crops ranges from 33 to 55 per cent. The calculations are carried still further, and estimate the additional wheat supply re quired every year by the increase of population in Great Britain. In round numbers, 240,000 persons are annually added to the resident popu lation in Great Britain, and the additional wheat supply required for that number, at six bushels a head, would amount to nearly 180,000 quarters, representing the produce of wore than 50,000 English acres. Returns of the crops and live stock in British possessions and foreign countries are given, having been furnished by the statistical departments. In these comparative tables the United Kingdom holds a high place; Russia in Europe occupying the very first position in regard to live stock. The returns for the United States are not yet ready, but enough is given to supply most valuable material for the legislator and political economist, as well as for the trader and the agriculturist.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22.—. The steamer Great Republic arrived to-day with advices from Hong Kong to Nov. 16, and Yokohama to the 28cb. She brings 320 pas sengers, 1,217 tons of freight, 1,549 packages of silk, and 500 packages of tea for New York. The Great Republic made the connection with the steamer Golden City, whi c h sailed for Panama to-day. Last October three trappers from Illinois for mink and otter passed Pot t Dodge. Two of them started from Maple River to go across the prairie to Storm Lake, when they were overtaken by a snow storm which hid the road from sight. After wandering for some time they decided to stop and dig a hole in the snow-drift, in which they might be sheltered till morning. Next day they crawled out, and one of them, Charles Butler, insisted on going towards the lake, while the other determined to find the nearest house. Before reaching shelter the latter became deranged through suffering, and having pulled off his boots to rub his feet, he was unable to get them on again, and was compelled to walk several miles barefoot amid snow and the coarse prairie grass stubble. Butler's dog afterwards came into Sac city, and was so excited that several citizens who knew him became anxious for his master, and next morning, following the dog, several men started for Storm Lake, where, after twelve miles march, they found the trapper lying stiff and dead in the snow. Butler has loft a wife in Illinois to mourn his sad fate. • -- - the wonder [ADVEßTlSEMENTd—Holloway s main taining cares The stomach to keep or advance his position f wonder fully busy o r world rega regaining i o n f g t hhee present e i s n f t e d l.tn a The thousand ills supposed. ybt society.e everyn ec necessity t un happiness than is commonly prevented or dislodged by the that settle there may be . and its troubles cause more discomfort and bring more annoying the 'Ont.,without ne rves of gentle, antacid spell irritating the most delicate orga the most susceptible, or judicious use of these purifying pills, which act as a sure, pills will bestow some comfort or relief on every headachy, dyspeptic, and sickly confer some as make him a burden to himself and sufferer, whose tortures orga nisation.
