AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

The week opened with a fine autumnal day, and
much lower temperstare ; wind N.W. Monday was bright
cod Mariam : thermometer down to 58 deg., berometa 30
inches. On Tuesday there was slight rain with the wind
round to the south. Our advice* from the West Riding of
Yorkshire on that day state : " The weather has been fine
and breezy oe the whole, though showery at times." From
the Ecet Riding of Yorkshire cm the same day, it was re-
marked : " Weather during the week has been favourable
for harvest work • and a great portion of the crops in this
district is sow skely housed." From Northumberland at .
the same date it was said : The weather since our last re-
port ham been very unfavourable for harvest operatioes, a
good demi of rain haying fallen, eceampanied with high
winds from the earth-west and south-west. To-lay is fine,
wind south-west." From Licooleshire our advice* stated :
" The whole of the harvest ha. been gathered in throughout
these districts an nee ceedition." From Lanombire, on
the same day, it was observed :" The weather is houseroom.
wet, and cold, and the northern harvest progresses slowly."
Wednesday was• doubtful day, bat the weather held thy
until noon, when min set in, audit was very heavy for several
hours. la Nottioglientshire, on that day, it was stated:
'"flie weather has been open dudes the past few days,
turnips and mural& stomach improved HI orneriness/ond
there is also cousidersibly mate grass is the peataree." From
Scotland, on that day, the account, were unfavourable
from both the east and west coast, the weather bolos at '
tames very wet, and a cossiderable quantity of grain was re- r
ported to be stall oat in the bells, seamed to the miss, cad .
taking coosidemble injury. On Thursday the morning was
fine sod aetruneal, but rain was (anthems& at
11 a.m., and it was very heavy at intervals after-
wards during the day. From Warwickshire no that
day it was stated: •• Weather throughout the week
has been showery, which, with previous rains, has
had the effect of entirely changing the aspect of the eosin-
try ; the pastures now present quite a spring-like appear
mace." From the North Riding of Yorkshire: " The
farmers were getting on very well on Tuesday with then •
harvest., though there was part of the corn out in the neigh-
bourhood of Flamlnirough Heed ,• and they have some
very good amps." la the East neighbourhood of
linion, the farmers find, on. thrashing, that they have 5 to
' 6 qrs. of wheat per acre. Opposed to which, in the fort
neer Ely. some have tidy ruched 2 qrs. per earn. Ow
Saturday microbes it appeared that heavy rasa had
fallen, mad we learned that it had come down in torrents
during the past might for several hours, and in the day It
was ocossiettally very wet, bat suany at iatervals. Prom
the middle of the week to the end a greater fall of rake
has taken place than for a long time past, sod yet from the
thirsty state of the ground it is sheathed quickly, and there
is scarcely any water yet ire the peed., but the ground will
be moistened and made mare reedy for the plough, which
may soon be at work. All articles likely to produce early
spring feed hams Imes sows exteesively—rys, winter tares,
trifulturn• and winter barley, with rapeseed. All these
have coosiquently met a goad demand, and. with the remota
rein, this is likely yet to ocetisue ; prices being much
more remunerative to the farmers than that for wheel.
This is still depressing and diecoureging. without any imme-
diate prospect of amelioration from one cause or other.—

Scorriss Rimers °Nes Moss—A special meet-
ing of the Jedbargh town sound is.. held last week, at
which the provost moved the following resolution :—" That.
as the exercise of the jurisdiction over St. James's fair by
the magistrates of Jedburgh is a lose to them, Out only
bat also es • corporation, it is expedient that the
right be disposed of." This propositiou appears to have
excited the greatest possible disgust in the town. The
council chamber was tlllad by a disorderly crowd, one of
whom cried cot amidst tremendous elastritg. Oor hate
war gotten by bluid, an' if we loss thew' it'll be w i bluid too."
Bulls, Elliot, who spoke ou the popular aide, said, " I will
never be • party to sell our ancient rights. O.:rest cheering.)
l am told that the expenses ominectol with going to the lair
are only about 31., sod the customs amount to 30e., leaving
only 31/s. et • lose. if the magistrates were worth a penny
they would pay it out of their own pockets." (Great ap-
plause.) After • SOSO' indescribable tumult the motive
of the provost was best by three votes—a result which called
forth the most enthuslastie &win&
