It is a drag attached to the vehicle of State to prevent a too rabid dL.seent in slippery plae:s ; it is a more extensive part'cipa tion in State affaite, of those who have something to lose, and of those who are not inclined to play too high at the cost and danger of the Stat?, because their own stake is too large. It is the transfer to our country of one of the principal advantages of English institutions—an advantage I find in the fact that there are in England a large number of almost royal existences, by which 1 mean, of totally disinte rested persons who have nothing material in the world to wish for that could lead them into judging of the welfare of the State otherwise than according to their own calm and settled convictions. I should rather characterise them as contented persons who have no desire to seek the satisfaction of social and financial efforts in the department of politics. I consider that an extraordinary advantage for Eng land. People do not experiment in that country so ea ily, while those who feel inclined to do so have a very high stake of fortune 'and prosperity to lose. Nevertheless we have not thought it advisable to make the already- complicated machinery. of the constitution we have laid before you still more cum brous by the interpolation of a third, or, if you like, of a fourth element. I cannot easily picture to my self a German Upper House that could be interposed between the Federal Council—which, I repeat, is altogether indispensable as the organ through which the sovereignty of the individual States continues to find expression —that could be interposed between this Federal Council and this Parliament, a middle element to some extent superior to Parliament in importance upon the social scale, and sufficiently subordinate to the Federal Council and those whence it derives its powers. We would not have sovereign peers as members of the Assembly, who, on their part are inclined to rival the lesser sovereigns in social position. The Federal Council to a certain extent represents an upper house, in which his Ma jesty of Prussia isprimns inter pares, and in which thatremnantof the high German nobility finds place that has preserved its sovereignty. Now, I consi der it practically too difficult of execution to attempt And I possible t s o o v c c o r i e n i g pl a e t i e n this b e r u s p . p e e e l n iy n s a it r i l e d r i adding i t i o n it non to depress this sovereign upper house in its ingre dients outside the presiding power so far that it would resemble a House of Lords ; nor would I ever venture even to suggest such a step in presence of a gentleman like the King of Saxony. The principal reason, however, why we have not proposed any division of the Parliament into two houses remains in our unwillingness too greatly to complicate the machine. The legislation of the Bund can even now be brought to a standstill by a lasting difference of io n o i p n i n n t, opinion b m e a t y w in a three-chamber system—if lam allowe d to call a l n ;' e y d t e w r a o l c C o a umnbcei system and P a ; r i u a t the Federal Council a chamber — the proba bilit y of o ee cc n ur th in e this standstill would be materially increased. We should become too cumbrous." In the sitting of the 29th Count Bismarck con cluded a speech against Deputy Lasker's amend ment—that true reports of Parliamentary proceed ings should not be liable to prosecution, in the fol lowing terms : " One of the preceding speakers, the deputy for Berlin, has taken this opportunity of complaining that at times a hardly forced' tone of courtesy is cast aside. If in this remark he alludes to a warm discussion in which I engaged some days ago, I should like to submit one point to his consideration. When one has fought hard for five years and has attained that which we are now debating ; when one has sacrificed in so doing one's time, the bet years of one's life, and one's health ; when one re members the trouble it has cost to get 22 Govern ments to agree to one small paragraph, or even upon a matter of punctuation ; when one has reached this point, gentlemen who have heard little about these conflicts, who can know nothing of official pro cedure, then step forward in a manner I can only compare to somebody hurling a stone through my closed window without knowing where I stand. He does not know where he may hit me ; he does not know what matters of busi ness may be in progress at that moment which he impedes and what others he frustrates altogether by this opposition. lie does not know what foreign questions hover in the balance which would admit the different treatment upon energetic support of the Government by the Parliament in comparison with that they meet when people see that Parliament does not go unconditionally with the Government, and that very slight cause would suffice to bring about a serious and deep breach. Under such circumstances it is very easy, without being artificially nervous, to get into a state of mind I cannot better characterise for the hon. deputy than by recommending him to read in one of the early scenes of Henry the Fourth' what sort of an impression Henry Percy felt when the lord there spoken of came to him, demanded his prisoners, and then inflicted upon him—wounded and battle-weary —a lengthy oration as to weapons and internal wounds. The passage is at the commencement of the piece, and begins, 'I do remember me that when the fight was done, there came a certain lord,' &c. I feel something like Percy felt when I hear these sort of speeches made about things for which I have suffered and fought, and necessarily understand better." Opening Public-Houses on Sunday. The following is a copy of a bill respecting the sale of liquors on Sunday, brought into the House of Commons by Mr. J. A. Smith, Mr. Bazley, and Mr. Baines. It is entitled " A bill for further re gulatinethe sale of fermented and distilled liquors on Sunday in England and Wales. " Whereas the restrictions on the sale in England and Wales of fermented and distilled liquors during certain hours on the Lord's day and certain other days imposed by an act of the session of the eighteenth and nineteenth years of the reign of her present Majesty, chapter 118, intituled ' An act to repeal the act of the 17th and 18th years of the reign of her present Majesty for further regulating the sale of beer and other liquors on the Lord's day, and to substitute other provisions in lieu thereof,' have been attended with great benefits, and these benefits would be increased by au exten sion of the said act : Be it enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by authority of the same, as follows : •, " 1. The provisions of the recited act imposing in England and Wales restrictions on the opening of houses and other places fur the sale of fermented and distilled liquors at certain hours on Sunday, Christmas -day, Good Friday, and on any day appointed for a public fast or thanksgiving, shall (subject to the proviso here inafterrs when sold for consumption and prem ises) be extended to the wh o l e caonndsdu lisnt c ei o dl c le ontained i lt ni eu d and except as reg ards f ermented fer mented and distilled liquors when sold as aforesaid and m e af n t t e i r o l u io c o d n da o y i s l , above-mentioned e half-past two shall be extended to the times between an d eight o'clock in the afternoon and 10 and 11. days, and all the provisions of the • recited act shall apply and be construed accordingly. Provided, that where any person who / mita fide carries on as part of his ordinary daily trade the business of an eat ing -house keeper or otherwise of selling meat, eon-. fectionery, or other • premises, nothing in this act contained shall pre oo'fc l t o h c e k a i bc) n t v l e i vent such person from opening his house for the sale of, or from selling in the same manner as he might if this act had not passed, any meat, confectionery, or other victuals for consumption on the n (lum.; or any fermented or distilled liquors fur consump tion ou the premises by persons who bona Jude have purchased any such meat, confectionery, or other victuals."

'TIMES.--If statistics could settle the question of Reform, it ought to have been long since disposed of end laid aside. We have had Blue-book after Blue-book, and Parliamentary papers upon Parlia mentary papers, ex . ibiting the effect, as might be s4ieposed, of all possible alterations viewed in all pos sible light,.. 1' he present Government have not been so prodigal of figures as their predecessors in office, and bystanders striving to be charitable have, in fact, felt some difficulty at times in resisting the impression that all the short-lived proposals of which they have been sponsors were mere guesses made blindfold, but the deficiencies of the Admi nistration have been made up by the assiduity of private members. Every man who has his own solu tion of the pending difficulty moves for a return setting it forth in a statistical form, and the embar rassment occasioned by these multitudinous rows of figures has not been lessened by a suspicion that, like supernumeraries at a theatre, the same facts are constantly presented to our view, dressed up after a slightly different fashion. This endless series of details has become oppressive, and part of the good effect produced by the •Chancellor of the Exchequer last Tuesday was, perhaps, occasioned by the relief he promised, or seemed to promise, to overburdened members when he declared that the Government had sought to solve the difficulty of enfranchisement without minutely scanning the numbers who might be enfranchised. Mr. Disraeli's declaration that figures were, after all, of no great importance was very cheeriwbut perhaps it was too good to be true. Mr. aladacine's inquiries last night implied a mistrust of other parts of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's speech, which it was, perhaps, no more than the duty of the Leader of the Opposition to express, though in this case we be lieve it to have been unnecessary. With one excep tion, the concessions made by Mr. Disraeli could not be evaded, even were there a desire to recede from them. It may please hint to be mysterious in his answers to questions, but the result will not be affected by his mystery. He has abandoned the Dual Vote. The reduction of the County Qualifi cation will be frankly made if a promise to co-operate with the House means anything; and the Lodger . Franchise . will be secured by Iheinsertion of a clause which any one could carry. There is but one part of the Reform problem which is not yet settled, and we fear cannot be settled without some reference to wearisome statistics. It is the borough Franchise. Every other difficulty has been cleared away, and this difficulty, too, will doubtless be overcome in the pre sent temper of the house of Commons, but it is not yet overcome. It must be faced, and the current week, or soanueli of it as the Budget will leave at the disposal of members, ' might be profitably de voted to an examination-of the means of meeting it. The process will he made easier by first examining the means which will not serve the purpose of Par liament. A return presented on Saturday give.s the last stroke to the abandoned £6 rating franchise, the adoption of which at any time Mr. Gladstone himself, much as he may regret the " ten minutes" bill, must confess to have been altogether impos sible. It appears that the total number of such occu piers assessed at a rateable value of above £6 in the borough constituencies of England and Wales is 750,071. We know also that the total number of male occupiers at £lO rental and upwards is 639,043. The total number of electors which might by possi bility be added to the register by substituting the one qualification for the other would, therefore, be 111,028; but as, in fact, out of the 639,043 £lO occupiers no more than 451,699 have their names placed on the register, and the proportionate num ber of perssns nominally qualified who fail to get on the list increases as the value of the qualification diminishes, it would be a liberal estimate to believe that the enfranchisement of occupiers rated above £6 would add 70,000 electors to the borough con stituencies. Even if we added those rates at £6—a number not included in Saturday's return, but ob tainable elsewhere—the total of new electors who would probably reach the register would not exceed 100,000. If it were worth while to descend to de tails, it could be shown that the number thus added would be found in the small country boroughs, and the electors in all-metropolitan constituencies, and most of the large towns, would experience no ap preciable change. It is unnecessary, however, to pursue such an examination. A second project, finding favour with a section of the house of Com mons, is to accept the household rating franchise proposed by the Government shorn of the checks of personal payment of rates and additional residence. We may observe, by the way, that it is doubtful, on the legal construction of the Government bill, whether the necessity of inhabiting the whole of a separate building, which Mr. Gladstone deprecated as a third check, is really required by it. The effects of a rating franchise pure and simple, with out any security for the payment of rates except through the landlord, were thoroughly examined by the Lords' Committee in 1859, on the influence of the Small Tenements Act on municipal elections ; and it is only necessary to refer to the evidence given before the committee to acquire-a know ledge of its working more complete than satisfac tory. The lords, without a division, arrived at the conclusion that, " as a test of fitness to take part in municipal affairs, as well as a security against corrupt and fraudulent practices, actual, direct, and continuous payment of rates should be the indis pensable condition of the municipal suffrage." If we understand, however, Mr. Gladstone's position aright, he would shrink from an unfettered honse hold rating suffrage as much as, if not more than, members sitting on the Conservative benches, and his objections to the checks incorporated by the Administration in their bill are founded on the arbitrary and capricious manner in which he sup poses they would operate. He would himself sug gest a definite limit, and, deferring to the house, a rating limit, below which the rates should uni versally be paid by owners instead of occupiers, and down to which enfranchisement snould be car ried. Ratepaying clauses he would altogether abolish. The arguments against this scheme are obvious, and, we think, conclusive. It is plain that a £5 rating limit is the highest that could be fixed upon them, and we should have householders above and householders below that limit not pay ing their rates, and, in fact, differing in no sub stantial respect save that an arbitrary law divides them, and one is chosen to be a P a rliamentary voter . and the other left. The distinction is not sufficiently reasonable to be permanent. If the personal payment of rates is not to be required from the voter, how can his neighbour be excluded because he does not pay rates? Lord Grosvenor avoids this difficulty by his propsal that the Small Tenements Act should be made universal in application at a £5 rating limit, and that all householders rated at and above that sum should be bound to pay their own rates. Ratepaying and the franchise would in that case go hand in hand. Where the one was found there would be the other also, and where rates were not paid the franchise would not be given. The old scot and-lot franchise would, in fact, be revived, with a limitation adapted to the circumstances of modern life. But the difficulty of carrying out such a pro posal would be almost insuperable. It may not be impossible to make the Small Tenements Act apply everywhere in respect of houses rated at £5 and under, but we cannot suppose such a violent change as would be involved in the administration of our parochial system by taking out of the operation of the Act and similar local Acts all householders rated above that limit. We put aside with some reluc tance a suggestion which has much to recommend it ; nor can we find in Air. Poulet Scrope's sugges tion to exempt from rates both owners and occu piers of the lowest class of houses sufficient to counterbalance the reasons against eleemosynary , legislation. We fall back on the Government pro posal to enfranchise rated householders personally paying their rates, and we ask whether it is true that under the operation of the Small Tenements Act the enfranchisement thus conferred would operate capriciously and arbitrarily. Mr. Glad stone quoted last week a valuable return to show the disparity between the numbers which would be admitted to the franchise where the Small Tenements Act had been adopted, and where it was not in force. He assumed that all male occupiers within the £6 rating limit would be excluded in the boroughs under the Act, and that all male occupiers whatever would get on the register in the boroughs not under the Act, and he dwelt on the absurdity of allowing a local vestry to determine whether householders should be enfran chised by tens or by hundreds. A return, abstracted in the electoral returns of last year, refutes Mr. Gladstone's essential assumption. Before the pass ing of the Small 'tenements Act the direct payment of rates by the householder was a necessary qualifi cation of the municipal franchise, and by emnparing the number of burgesses with the number of occu piers in any borough before the adoption of the Act we can ascertain the proportion of occupiers who failed to qualify as burgesses, and who would fail to qualify as Parliamentary electors, from non payment of rates. We find that Mr. Gladstone's hypothetical disparity disappears. The proportion of occupiers failing to qualify is nearly the same as the proportion the small Tenements Act would ex elude, and the vote of the vestry adopting the Act ' would enact as a rule what hal before ban the practical result. The Small Tenements :Set, by doing away with the necessity of the personal pay ment of rates, raised the number of municipal bur gesses in the boroughs where it was adopted from 101,009 to 251,000 ; or, in other words, out of 254,000 householders otherwise qualified no more than 101,000 paid their own rates and were placed on the municipal register. The prima facie objec tion grounded on the assumed variability of enfran chisement vanishes, and all further argument on the subject is met by the provision in the bill enabling any householder to claim to be rated, as explained by Mr. Hardy. The President of the Poor-law Board declared it to be the intention of the Government that the occupier claiming to be rated should be enabled to deduct the rates he paid from his rent, and, although the clause to which he referred would not carry out this intention, we may assume that the alterations necessary for the purpose will be brought forward by the Government. If this be done, and the inevitable corollary be adopted that the rate to be paid by the occupier making his claim to be rated shall be no more than the com pounded rate paid by the landlord, all pretence of a fine on the enjoyment of the franchise will be swept away, and no more will be demanded of the occupier than the proof of responsibility involved in a readi ness to meet the taxgatherer as well as the landlord, and the minimum of trouble occasioned by the necessity, under which compound occupiers above £lO now labour, to claim to be rated. Subject to certain simple alterations the Borough Franchise proposed by the Administration seems convenient and eligible. There is no reason why longer resi dence should be required from the occupier of a house below £lO annual value than from a £lO oc cupier, and the unwise attempt to make a distinc tion in this respect, if not prudently abandoned at once, ought to be given up in committee. The power to deduct rates, when paid, from the land lord's rent will of course be clearly given, and the rates exigible from the compound householder can not be higher than the compound rates. The diversity of definition of the qualifying tenement under the bill and under the_ existing law would probably prove nugatory in. practice; - and may be prudently reconsidered. It luny- be - doubted i wheth ' the necessity of making a continued claim s of any real value, while it certainly provokes muchirrita tion. These are, however, the incidental circum stances of a ratepaying franchise. The franchise is in itself simple ; it is a test of responsibility ; it is elastic, and when fairly carried out will operate, as Mr. Gladstone very happily expressed it last week, like a law of "natural selection," bringing on the register every one who is ready to prove his personal fitness f6i. the trust. It will be the work of the House of Commons next week to remove the defects apparent in the machinery sketched out in the bill of the Administration ; but the idea of the bill will probably receive its sanction, and be enacted in the Reform Act of 1867. Serious Irish Riots on St. Patrick's Day. (Front the Correspondent of the Morning Herald.) NEW YORK, March 20. " What shall we do with these Irish ?" is the question that every native American hereabout is asking of himself or of his neighbour. The riots and outrages in this city on Monday were the last turn of the screw. The insolence of " our Irish fellow citizens" has at last become intolerable. Throughout the whole city there exists on the part of the Ame ricans a feeling of indignation against the Irish, more bitter than any that has ever heretofore had place. Not even after the riots of 1863, or during the hottest period of the Know-nothing excitement, was there so general a sentiment of dislike or de testation for the Irish portion of our population as there is at the present time. Some of the bloody scenes of Monday fell under the observation of your correspondent. Coming from Brooklyn to New York at one o'clock, and passing through Grand-street, in this city, his attention was ar rested by the evident signs of disorder prevailing among the thousands of people thronging that thoroughfare and the neighbouring streets and lanes. By published order the various societies of II iber nians, Sons of Temperance, Longshoremen, and the like, had been instructed to assemble in the triangle formed by the junction of East Broadway and Grand-street, there to break into procession. At the time that your correspondent reached this point the marshals and officers of the society were be ginning to form the procession. This work, owing to the drunkenness of the "patriots," was one of great difficulty ; in fact, the triangle was filled by a yelling, boisterous mob, which had shut up the entrances to the numerous diverging streets and forbidden the passage not only only of vehicles but of pedestrians. Your correspondent's attention was first directed to a truck standing near the entrance of Pitt-street. This was surrounded by a crowd. A man stood upon the truck, gesti culating wildly, and, pointing in various directions. Finally this man seized the reins and endeavoured to drive down Pitt-street. In an instant a violent commotion began ; stones were thrown at the ad venturous driver ; swords flashed, staves were bran dished. The driver was either pulled off or knocked off the truck. He was at once set upon by the mob, stabbed, beaten, kicked, and rolled in the mud and snow. A policeman appeared, swinging his club. He seized the unfortunate truckman, and endea voured to draw him upon the cart. Ile in turn was knocked down, beaten, and stabbed. Another policeman appeared, to be served in the same brutal way. Another and still another officer rushed into the midst of the crowd—each in turn to be stabbed, beaten, and trampled upon. At last some of the injured policemen managed to gain a footing upon the truck, and to ply their clubs upon the heads of the mob. For a moment this battle continued; then the truck, seized by a hundred brawny hands, was tipped over, and the policemen thrown sprawling upon the ground. Here they were again set upon and most frightfully beaten. One by one, other officers appeared. The alarm was conveyed to the nearest station-house, and telegrams were sent to all the precincts. Unfortunately, the officers were compelled to straggle in ; there could be little of concert of action among them. As each blue-coat approached it was swallowed up by the mob. Thus 22 policemen in all were terribly wounded. At last a detachment of police advanced in solid phalanx, marching down Grand-street upon the rioters. The mob instantly scattered, and in two minutes the ground was clear, save where dotted by the bodies of the unfortunate guardians of the public peace. There they lay, fifteen of them, too badly wounded to stand erect. Four sat on the kerbstone washing their bleeding heads in the muddy stream of the gutter. Two sat on a neighbouring doorstep, the blood streaming from their wounds, and flowing across the flagging. One hung half insensble to an awning-post; another leaned against a lamp-post. For the space of 50 feet either way the muddy snow was daubed with blood. Blood was everywhere ; on the ash-boxes, on the coal-boxes, on the shutters of the grocer's windows, on the steps of the lodging-house, on the flagging, on the inverted truck. A bloody sword projected from a box of garbage. Bloody frag ments of staves and batons were scattered about, showing that the marshals of the Irish societies had been the leaders of the riot. The wounded police men were borne to the nearest station-house, pass ing in long and bloody procession through the streets, a trail of blood telling to the following crowd the route they had taken. In a short time the procession in Grand-street was formed, and the Irish moved toward the central portion of the city. At the point of junction of East Broadway with Chatham-square a policeman endeavoured to arrest a disorderly " Son of Temperance." Thereupon a , burly Irishman, mounted on a powerful horse, charged at the officer, striking him across the head with a heavy sabre. The officer pluckily attacked this ruffian, and finally captured him. He was taken to the station-house, where it transpired that his name was Clark, and that he was a marshal of one of the societies of the "Ancient Order of lli berniaus." Numerous other outrages were com mitted during the day. Several horses were stabbed, cut, or frightfully beaten. Numerous peaceable citizens were assaulted. The driver of one of the PIM; V.. 4d. STA M VE n United States mail waggons was pulled from his seat by the mob and beaten ; his horses were stabbed, and othei wise maltreated. The mail ens have I. fr ‘ y law the right of way on all occasions; the driver's offence was an attempt to cro.:s the line of the pro cession. At least 10,000 Irishmen participated in the parade. The procession was of great length, a large number of waggons having been pressed into the service for the day. Consequently, during the hours of the parade, all communication between the upper and lower portions of the city was suspended. Traffic was at a standstill. Any person venturing to cross the line rendered himself au object of attack. The Bowery and the parallel streets and avenues were crowded with long lines of cars, detained by the mob. As the better class of New Yorkers live in the up-town streets, you can imagine the result of the suspension of transit between the two ends of the city. Many passengers for the ocean and coastwise steamers sailing at noon yesterday were left behind ; their baggage, however, having been put on board the night before, was taken out to sea. Never before were the Irish so insolent and arro gant. Ihey seemed to have determined that the Americans should suspend business on St. Patrick's day, nolens volens. Fancy our indignation at being ordered about by drunken, brutal Irishmen, whose only title to authority were the green badges they had placed in their button-holes, and the swords and clubs they carried. And yet the mayor of the city ostentatiously presented to the 69th Regiment (which led the procession) a stand of colours, com plimenting his " Irish fellow citizens" on their patriotism and other virtues, and expressing his warm sympathy with all their movements. Major Hoffman's friends may say that this presentation and speech took place before the riot. But after the riot, after the mayor knew that the officers of the law had been brutally assassinated by the mob, he favoured, gathering of Irishmen with his pre sence, mil ct rejoiced to be able to speak in praise of the sple4d appearange of the men who on that day 'paraded befOre 'him," some of whom must have shown to him bloody hands as they passed and saluted him. "He defied the world to produce a better procession or a greater array of honest faces !" Agricultural Prospects. Last week opened with a fine dry day, at times sunny, with the wind from the south-west. Monday morning was fine, and it continued dry up to noon, when rain was experienced, with a wet after noon, but a starlight night ; wind S.S.W. to S. ; thermometer 52 deg., barometer, 29.30. No field work of any description could be accomplished on this day, not even on the lightest soils. Tuesday was a fine bright and breezy day, after a heavy gale of wind in the night, which was favourable for drying the land, although this was still too wet to get on. ' Our advices are—from Norfolk—" Since Saturday last we have had a much higher temperature, with the wind from the ,S.W." From Northumberland— " The weather continued cold, with snow and sleet ' up to Saturday, when it became a little milder, and much rain fell. Since Sunday it has been fine and spring-like ; the weather has veered from N.E. to S.E. and S.IV. Weather unsettled to-day." From Lancashire—" The heavy fall of snow on Friday last was followed on the succeeding day by a com plete thaw, and we have since had open weather and a mild temperature, betokening the commencement of a long protracted spring. Much agricultural work has to be done, and the character of the season during the month of April will be of the highest im portance to the agricultural interest, not only in these kingdoms, but on the continent of Europe, where the same severity of weather and protraction of field work have prevailed as we have experienced here. As regards the future course of the trade, however, the more interesting question is involved in the prospect of wheat supply for the half year which must elapse before next harvest becomes avail able. The past six months have furnished us with equal to three-and-a-half millions of wheat and flour, and it is generally admitted that an importa tion of five and a half millions more will be required to provide for our necessities up to the close of the cereal year ; it is therefore a matter of some import ance to consider whence this large quantity can be furnished, and, if obtained, whether it can be forced from abroad except by a considerable advance in the range of prices. So many important sources of our usual reliable supply have been in a situation similar to our own as to exhausted stocks at the last harvest time,' deficient production, and a more or less preju diced quality, that it may be doubtful whether even advanced prices will serve the purpose of effectu ally filling up the void." If these views should prove correct, the farmers need not be afraid of obtaining remunerating prices for the small stock of what they are still supposed to hold. The condi tion of the samples will not have been improved dur ing the last week of March, and it is to be feared that many soft lots will now be brought forward if recently thrashed, and such a circumstance for the mome nt is against " agricultural prospects ;" but there will be a change with finer and drier weather. Wednesday morning was thick and threatening, but the day was sunny and cloudy at intervals, with occasionally slight showers. Field work might be proceeded with on light soils. The accounts from the east coast of Scotland stated : " Since Saturday we have had a fine change in the weather, and vege tation will now push on." From the west coast the remarks were to the same purport, stating : " Since Saturday last the weather has changed to mild." On Thursday morning a slight white frost was experi enced, with the wind from the W. to W.S.W. ; thermometer at 41 deg. at 9 a.m., and 53 at mid day ; barometer down to 29.35 in. A good deal of field work would be done. Our advices from Suffolk ran : " Since our last we have had a decided change in the weather, which is now mild and favourable for the growing crops. The land, however, is still too wet for much progress with spring tillage." From Warwickshire our advices stated : " The severe weather noted last week was followed on Fri day by a deep snow, which caused serious obstruc tion to traffic. On Satvrday a rapid thaw set in, with a heavy fall of rain, causing the greatest flood which has been known for years, and doing very consider able damage to property, as well as to the wheat ' plant. Spring sowing is quite at a standstill for the present, but the weather is now much milder, with the wind S. and S.W." Friday was a favourable day for field work on the light sails, and a good deal was accomplished. Our advices from the \Vest Riding:of Yorkshire says : " Since our last week's report we have had some rain and frosty nights, but the weather has been much milder than dur ing the previous week ; drier, however, is needed for spring tillage." Saturday morning was fine, but there were slight showers during the day, and the evening had a rough appearance, with the wind from the IV.N.W., and some thunder was experienced. On the whole, during this week, rather more progress has been made with spring tillage, particularly on the light lands, but much finer weather is needed to give a nice finish. In some counties provender is reported to be getting scarce and dear; at the leading ports there are, however, good supplies, and whether for pigs or cattle there is plenty.
