At a time when Foreign Loans absorb so large a portion of English capital, we cannot render a more desirable service to a large class of our Readers than to lay before them a clear and faithful report of the financial statement of the countries which are most prominent in demands of this nature. A new Loan for Spain is well known to be ix agitation at the present moment, and therefore we feel particularly called upon just now to examine the foundations on which the Public CreL dit of that country rests, in order to ascertain what probability there is that any investments may be made on such security with the prospect of recovery at any future period. In doing this we shall rest solely on Official Accounts recently published by the Spanish Government, adding only such remarks as we may think necessary in the way of elucidation.

Loans. It may be well to inquire into the practicability of relieving them in this way ; and to she,/ the, i ne vitable ruin that must tall upon those who 'become finally the holders of Bonds, Or such other securities as the Spanish Gdvernment may giVe, in exchange for money. To make up the difference between the estimated expenditure and actual receipts, aniekinting, R as-above stated, to the sum of eales de Vellon 912,7311,512 There is now on the tapis a Loan for 13,000,000 of Reales de Vellon of Rentes of 5 per cent. on a capital of 260,000,000 Which may be supposed, for the sake of argument, to be negociated at the rate of 55 per cent. The produce will be • • . 153,000,000 Leaving still a deficiency of . . . . 769,739,512 It appears to be the fashion , with regard to Spain, that the more desperate and irretrievable her circumstance become, the higher is the value fixed on her public securities ; in conformity with this principle, it will be curious to see how many Loans of the small sum of 200,000.000 each she will absorb, to make good the deficiency here announced, each Loan being supposed to be taken at five per cent. higher terms (and consequently so much more favourable for her) than the preceding one. The above-mentioned one of 200,000,00 0 now contracted for, or about to be so, may be called the first loan for the service of the year 1322. Second Loan for 1322, negociated Ist November.

But it must be recollected, that this calculation is made on the argumentative supposition that the high and increasing rates could be obtained, and the amount would be actually provided at those rates; no allowance being made for the ap propriation in part payment of every new loan, of the obliga tions or bonds of the preceding one, at 10 or 20 per cent. profit —or of the application in the same way of large amounts of claims of other kinds on the Government, purchased at a fifth or sixth part of their nominal value, and given, with 2 or 300 per cent. profit, in exchange for Bonds at the full contract price, which Bonds go to the public with this enormous addi tion to the other profits of the contractors. This being the actual practice, to the extent of a third or fourth part of th full amount of each loan, it would naturally give rise to the neces sity for one or two more loans of 200 million reals each, to make good the defalcations in amount created by this honour able mode of filling the pockets of the contractors at the ex+ pense of the public. CAPTAIN SCORESBY, JuN.—Vire are happy to announce the arrival of this Gentleman at Li verpool, in the Baffin, from Davis' Straits, where he has had, for the season, more than the usual success, having got nine fish. Capt. SCORESBY landed on the west coast of Greenland, a part of that inhospitable region which has not, we un derstand, been visited, or even seen, by any of the navigators of the Arctic seas, for more than two centuries. lie found no inhabitants, but saw several huts, with indications of recent fires in them. The country abounds with rein-deer and game. On her passage home the Bqffin en countered rough weather, and in a tremendous gale, off the Faroe Islands, two of the crew were lost. TILE COMET.—It is stated in letters from Flo rence, that the little Comet discovered by M. PoNs, on the 13th of July, in Cassiopea, is now visible to the naked eye, and that on 22d of Au gust it was 37 degrees in the northern hemisphere near the Dragon, and that in a few days it would pass through Hercules. Mr. POPE, of Fawley-bottom Farm, near Henley, has gathered from one tree the extraor dinary quantity of fifty 'bushels of walnuts. As another instance of the fertility of the present season, on the same farm, a young grape vine of three years plant, which yielded a full propor tion of the finest fruit, has also twelve bunches of a second crop, which were in flower whilst the former were gathering ) and are now of the size of small peas. 665,000,000 Deficiency on Estimates It appears, then, that the Estimates of Expenditure surpassed the Estimates of Revenue by Reales de Vellon _ But of this Estimate of Revenue of 665,000,000 There appears, by the accounts now published, to have been paid into the Treasury . only - 365,551,447 Leaving a deficiency in the actual Receipts, below the Estimates , o f - - Making a total deficiency for the year ending 30th June 182'2, of Reales de Vellon - - 390,662,770 But, as the contract with the house of Ardouin and.Co, for the Loan of 1821, stipulated that there should be paid up be tween the Ist January and the Ist June 1822, amount 46,000,000 of for Reales de Vellon in money, being the given, ,91,214,217 91,214,2 299,448,553 PRICE SEirEiNIPENCE. TRE. COLON tES (Concluded from' SatzirdoS Su 0 .) DIS'rRICTI Q'UE BEd' ' AGRiCULrUItAL'REB 'k'Oß JUNE lg . :12: The weather this month has been c older arid Wettirtiiart any at the Same season since 1816. The higheSt teriiparatuie; excepting on the 19th, has not exceeded om tO 80, and there have been several nights when the theirnatheter wal deism' early to freezing. The rains having been more frequent than of long duration or in great quantity, did not prevent the sowing of ttie %Main; der of the Oats and Barley in good 'season. Potatoe planting was also genera lly concluded in good time , with the ground in tolerable condition where it:is tinder a regtilat rotation of col ture. under lnth cu this neighbourhood lti t iti9nf th e e 4i re . is . fully the usual extent of ground . • The increase of moisture at least in as far as the grain crops are concerned, has riot compeniated for_ the . diminution of the usual degree of heat. Wheat put in the ground nearly as earl); as usual is more backward by ten days or a fortnight than is' common at this season. All grain crops are short ; but; they have a heali.hy appearance, excepting on very wet grounds, or where the young grain is choaked with weeds, which is too commonly the case. There has as yet been few edmplaints of injury to the grain by insects, although a small spetieS of grasshopper is found in immense uumbers in the pastures and meadows: The Potatoe crops haire come up well, and in the hands of careful farmers who have' had the precarition to harrow down the drill before the potatoes came up, the ground they occupy is entirely free from weeds, and the young plants are &for ploughing the ground from the rows, and the first harrowing between the drills: Some farmers in this neighbourhood, being fearful of a dry season afar the present rains, have completed the preparatory labour for turnip sowing, in order to take advantage of the moisture now in the ground. The proper time is between the Ist and 10th of July, or to the 15th at latest, immediately before or after rain, as soon as the ground will work, and the yellow answers best for the main crop: Swedes must be sown earlier, and the labour interferes more with other ne cessary work ; the others, particularly the red and the white, although perhaps more productive, do not keep so well The meadows and pastures never looked finer than at pre sent. They are however much mixed with weeds or other un profitable grasses, all of which being natural, to the soil and climate, quickly overcome the more useful grasses. Sorrel and a wild ranunculus have spread greatly within a few years, nei ther of which are ever tasted by cattle.—There is probably no remedy but a proper rotation of crops, consisting of .Ist, Drill crops with manure, 2d, Grain, 3d, Bay, 4th ; Pasture, sth, Grain. We have seen on a farm under this rotation ; a field of very poor land which was covered with Sorrel, Mar; guerites and other noxious weeds, and which has had no ma-: nure but with the Drill Crop of 1820, that will yield this year at the rate of 300 bundles per. arpent of clean Timothy and Clover Hay. No Dung was used but what - was gathered on the farm, and no greater proportion Was laid on than is usually given to potatoe or other Drill Crops. Garden Stuffs in general are strong and promise abundance. The apple trees and berry bushes promise at least an average crop. Caterpillars, particularly on the gooseberry and currant bushes, have been more troublesome than usual. The prosperity of the husbandman, upon the whole, up to the present time, is rather cheering than otherwise. The critical period is however not yet arriv e. The prudent who recollect the disasters to which we have occasionally been exposed, will be prepared, if they have means, against their recurrence.— The markets are probably now nearly at their lowest. Grain has lately risen at New York, and the prospects of the present harvest throughout the United States are far from being good in respect to both grain and hay. A new encouragement has lately beep offered by the Go; vernment of Great Britain, to an agricultural production of the Canadas, which _might prove of great future benefit.— We allude to the article of hemp which Government will pur chase for the Marine on the Lakes, at the price at which it can be imported from England ; and for what may be sent to England, of a quality equal to Russian hemp, it will take for the use of the Navy.to the extent of one-4th of the annual consumption, which is very great, at the contract price for Rus sian Hemp. It is to be hoped that the certainty of a sale will lead to the formation of establishments for rolling and dressing* this article, giving ready cash for it to the farMers without for or. extraordinary trouble, in which case, its culture will soon become general, and furnish the country with a certain tide of export to pay for the supplies which it may be neceV sary to import from Great Britain. Quebec, 31st June, 1822. QUEBEC, JULY 15.—HEMP—'1`o the growth of which the Government of the Mother Country have given so strong an encouragement, may, under proper management, prove an article of extensive and profitable export, subject • to less of change in demand than any other article in our trade. It has already, in many cases, been grown in Lower Canada the soil and climate are congenial to it, and no doubt our farmers would engage in its cultivation on a large scale if they had prospects of meeting with its immediate sale at a moderate profit. To ensure the good quality of the Hemp, without which it can never be exported, it is evident that the farmer must only.caltivate it—its preparation must be left to the intelligent merchant and the man of capital, who will purchase the article in its raw state, and prepare it for the manufacturer, under the most improved method, at the lowest cost, and then shit. it. These persons must co-operate, or rather the latter, who it may be well supposed is the most public spirited, ought to hold out the strongest inducements to the former, if he finds that the Hemp of this Country could be brought into England, or be sold here, to pay. it is obvious that there is some risk in this, but in all enterprise there is risk ; in the common concerns of the Merchant there is great risk, and as nuich as there is in this ease. The average pro duce of Hemp is one ton to about five acres of land; the prime cost of imported Hemp when landed at Quebec, is from 481. to 52?. a ton. Now to the person acquainted with the expences of preparing Hemp for export or otherwise, it is easy to calculate what might be offended to the farmer, and then the farmer knowing this, could decide at once if it were pos sible to cultivate upon the terms offered: The Success of this undertaking, certainly the trial of it,depends upon the merchant or the intelligent individual, and it remains for him . to attempt to establish a branch of trade, which, if established, may in some time hence make - hemp one of our staple articleifor export, affording the mother country a resource in her wasra with the Continent of Europe, and the colony herself one part of the means for improvement in her Agriculture and Internal Communications,as well as an increase of wealth andease among its inhabitants. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. On Saturday four young Me.n, consisting chiefly of servants out of place, viz. John Sugden, ' Wm. Jones , Geo. Hammond, and Geo. Fennell, stood indicted for unlawfully conspiring to gether in keeping a certain house, in the patish of Marylebone, and there carrying on the most abominable practices. The CHAIRMAN, in summing up, observed, the Jury must be possessed of almost Egyptian blindness to entertain any doubt upon the evidence they had beard, that the prisoners were guilty of conspiring together for the most shorn:MO:sic purposes. After the Chairman had concluded, the prisoners all, ex cept Sugden, addressed the Jury. They were young men servants out of place, sent there to lodge. They had no wit nesses to call. _ The Jury found the whole four Guilty. Nbte.--'!'heir sentence, as far as we conkl collect from the Chairman's address to the Jury, will be transportation beyond the seas for life. CONSPIRACY AND RIOT: George Porter,• Richard Blake, Samuel Williamson, Ed. Wray, James Hadley, Robert Prittay, Joseph Malfseld, T. Owens, Win. Pickering, and Peter Hann, were iiioi:ted for a. riot and aonspiracY in the paiiih of St. *say, Islington; bit the 25th of July last. The - Prisoners were employed by Messrs. Pickford in navi gating their boats, on the It.e . gent's Canal.' On the' day men tioned twenty-sit boats were in readineSs to convey a battalion of the Guards on their way, to' Ireland, but thePrisonersi with others, refused to work themselves, and by threats and vio lence prevented those who were well-ditposed from working, unless they received an increase of wages. - z The Jury found them all Guiltyl and sentenced them to various periods of imprisonment.
