COUNTY OF MUD-LOTHIAN. EDINBURGH, Dec. 22.—This day a Meeting of the County of Mid-Lothian was held in the Town-hall of Edinburgh, pursuant to the Requi sition of a few Gentleinen of the County, pre viously advertised. The expectation that the original Requisition and Address would be op posed occasioned the Hall to be exceedingly crowded at an early hour. The Most Noble the Marquis of LOTHIAN was called to the Chair. — 'The roll of the Freeholders having been called over, Sir JoHN HOPE, Baronet, proposed a Loyal Address, which dilated on the prevalence of se dition and blasphemy in the Country. It was se conded by JAMES WALKER, Esq. This was wormwood to the Whig-Radical Junto, who, a few days ago, had promulgated their loyal effu sion at the Pantheon Meeting, and Mr. Fergu son, of Keith, therefore proposed an Amendment, which was supported by A. M. Gibson, Esq., the Earl of Rosslyn, Francis Jeffrey, Esq., &c. The' tenor of the Amendment may be easily conceived; but it was scouted by a majority of nearly five to one, for on a division taking place the numbers were as follow :-- _ _ 110 For the Motion Amendment Majority -84 The performers at the Pantheon looked very blank, and; one by one, they dropped away. CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN. DUBLIN, DEC. 21.—Yesterday there was a Post Assembly held at the Assembly House, William-street, for the specific purpose of ad dressing the King. A long and uninteresting disctssion respecting the form of the proceeding took place, after which the Address was -put and agreed to. Mr. ALLOWAY then moved, that instead of being transmitted to the Throne through the me dium of the Lord Lieutenant, that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Deputy Recorder (Jonas Greene), the senior High Sheriff (Mr. Geo. Whitford), and the Town Clerk (Mr. Molesworth Greene), should be ordered to carry the Address to the foot of the Throne. Some Members opposed this motion, on the ground of the expense it would occasion. The Corporation was, they said, so poor that they were unable to pay the salaries of their officers. It being understood that the deputation were to pay their own expenses, the .motion was agreed to. Mr. MOORE rose and said, what he hail to move might be deemed extraordinary, but he would submit it to the House, who might dispose of it. He moved that the High Sheriff, in the name of the Commons, should wait upon the Lo r Lieutenant, and request that the Royal yacht might be ordered to convey the Lord Mayor and suite, with the Address to the King, across the Channel. Mr. Wm.'s said, that it was no wonder that the mover of such a proposition should fear that it woutd be deemed extraordinary ; indeed it was the most nonsensical thing he ever heard of.; and besides the absurdity of asking till Royal Yacht for the Lord Mayor—there was the expense to be taken into consideration, if grant ed, which he did not think it would ; the very warrant would cost 201. ; and there was money to the sailors, and money to the Captain. lie had heard a nobleman who had got the Dorset yacht to convey him to England, declare it had cost h m above MU Several members spoke for the motion, and Mr. Sheriff Whitford, after thanking the House for the high honour they 119. d done him, declared for his part, that there should not be a shilling expence charged to the Corporation. The Re solution then passed with a few dissentient voices, and was sent up to the Board for their approbation, and was agreed to. The House was then about to break up, when a Member ex claimed, " What a glorious example do the pro ceedings of this day present to the Radical Corpo ration of London ! We have proved our loyalty, and their acts have proved any thing but theirs.!" An Address to his Majesty was voted by the Magistrates and Town Council of Dundee on Wednesday, and the Provost requested to trans mit the same to the llonourabfe lition LINDSAY, M. P. to be by him presented to the KING. An Amendment relative to the QUEEN'S Trial was proposed by Dean of Guild ROBERTS, and se condedby Counsellor BLAIR, but ultimately ne atived by a majority of 15 to 3.—(G.tasgow, Courier, Dec. 21.)

REPORT. - _ The usual Agricultural Report for Ocroeztt LAST has been-deferred ) in - order to include the close of the season. • • During the first days of Oetoberthe weather continued to there is partake of the chars ter of drought, which predominated throughout 11.. e preceding part of the season. It was not till after) he heavy rains of the night of the 14th. the 15th, and 161 ff of October, that the ground had imbibed sufficient. moisture to admit of its being, ploughed with facility front the 26th to the 2Sth, the snow which lay on the ground sus pended -ploughing ; hot upon the wlifile, the season up,to the 9th Nov. has been favourable for this important part of the labour-ill the agriculturist, and it is believed that nearly all the work of :his descrption, which it was thodght neces sat yto perform in the fall, has been effected. There was 110 frost sufficient to prevent plouging till the 10th inst., and the pastures canticle:o good till that time, affording sufficient food for all kinds of stock, excepting during the short inter val when the ground was covered with. snow. Front the 10th of.the month to the, present date, the farmer has been com pelled by the snow on the ground to fodder . his cattle, which has oat Isoen tl.e case so early for several years past. as'ely iiitrodisced turnip Flops were taken up in good orler, after the first of the . presiost month; it'd ;where they were sonin at the end of June or beginning ofinly. on land properly prepared and manured, in drills from to 3 feet apfirt, and thitmid in the rows to a distance of about tight inches between each plant, and kept perfectly free from weeds by frequent workings with the horse-hoe and drill-harrow, the crop has proved excellent ; leaving the ground complete ly cleaned, and fit for succeeding g rain arid grass crops. Ex perience has proved that the on ly precautions for preserving them in this climate in a fit state As food for cattle, thrslugh out the winter, is to place Owns in long heaps where they m ay lie rather exposed to partial congelation than otherwise. They soon spoil if heaped upon one another in great quan tities, or in warm cellars sir root houses. The Swedes and the Yellow have been found to stand in the fields in sheltered situations without injury throughout the winter. In the scarcity of fodder wills which we are threatened, those who have cultivated the turnip will find it a valuable aid to that article, and we are confident that this root will eventually operate a similar advantageous change in the agriculture of this province which it has so remarkably effected in Great Britain. It is still doubtful whether the winter is finally•set in, but there is an end for the present. season to that part of agri cultural labour which immediately contributes to production, The farmer has now to confine himself for nearly six months to the labours of preservation, during which himself and his live stock are little better than mere consumers of formerpro duction. This is the great disavantage which results front our climate. It is however less than is generally, imagined. Every production of the soil may he raised and preserved here as well as in milder climates. Our live stock intended to be slaughtered. may he killed early in the winter, and pre served fresh for five months, thus saving a large [ Inti' of their food. The snow preserve s the roots of thegrass from severe frosts, and enables it to revive in the spring as early as in milder climates. Even winter wheat is found to suc ceed where the snows are not driftedoff the fields. Our sum mer roads (which like those of all new countries, must he very inferior to those under tolerable management in old countries, owing to the impossibility of applying on them at-first and during the short season of agricultural labour, a 'great proportion of that labou), become good in winter, arid may be kept so at a trifling expense. The most distant settler may then communicate with celerity and case with the best market ; a practicable sleigh road may iudeed he made and kept up in the i n:g i nn ing of winter by the exertion of an individual alone, to a distance its the'forests, where no carriage could be conveyed in summer without a ruinous ex pense. One of thsl worst featores of our climate, the early frosts, has disappeared since 181 G, since which time frosts ,alitd:ittetw. have !Lappet - red. nearly as early at Philadelphia arid,. Niagara as at Quebec. It is probable that the present state of trade, and its threatening aspect for the fut me, by forcing us to 'introduce a greater proportion of domestic manufactures, a g reater part of our labour, which cannot be employed in tillage during the - winter; may be in future usefully employed in supplying us with necessary articles which we now procure, front abroad ; thus in reality increasing the real source of all wealth; la bour qusefully employed, the quantum and productiveness of which, together with the perfect security of property, is the trite measure and cause of the prosperity of every coun try,— Quebec, 15th Nov. 1820.

Mr. Forbes exhibited a very small specimen of the Green Tea Plant, in foil flower, and made some remarks on the means of causing that flue evergreen to throw out its blossoms. The Secretary mentioned, that, .by the influence of Dr. Yule, a large packet of Mountain Rice, front the elevated regions in Nepaul, had been received from Dr. Willie!), of Calcutta, who was of opinion, that it might be cultivated in this country, and that members, desirous of trying the ex pe rimont, might be supt.lied with some of the seed.

They lived together for a short time. This 'young wonoto was handsome, strong, and bealthy.: , and the widow of an otlicer named Debiral. She was soddedly seized with art in, ternal indammation, which occasioned tier the most excru ciating pain, and , notwithstanding the skill of her medical attendants, and the power of medicine, she became worse and worse, till death terminated her sufferings. After the untimely end of his mistress, and in the space of a few years, Chevalier contracted four successive mar- riages. • He married first, Mary Desgranges, daughter of a gentle man of landed property at St. Dither; the second witt, Mar garet Pizard, whose mother resides at Lyons ; the.thipt was called Mary piquet, her brothers and sisters are still living; and, lastly he warned for the fourth time, Demist': Boson, his present wife, whose fattier is a land-owner and merchant at Charlieu, departmcnt of the Loire. The four marriage contracts are all in the same form and tenor, and entitle the survivor to the joint property—a disposition, of whiCh Che valier was not tardy in availing himself. The young woman, Desgranges, first wife of Cht calier, was of a strong constitution and of excellent health. She presently complained of internal pains, and to►.d some of her.friends that she at length had scarcely the use of her limbs rthat tier nt daughter was in the same. condition; and that sue Id no account for this paralytic affection.

An article from Tobolsk, in Siberia, dated October 14, states that a labouring man, - who is a purse of skin, vhich he wore at his breast, had placed the hard-earned savings of his life, was murdered by two-of his companions, for the sake of his little treasure. The murde-...rs escaped to a neighbouring foreBt, followed by two dugs be longing to the deceased, which would not quit them. The wretches did every thing to appease them, but in vain.
