l'iitweninn.—The weather during the past week has
bora dry, but cold and ungcnial ; still all the grain crops are
so well turward that a temporary check will not be attended
with bad effects. The late-planted potatoes areabove ground,
and everywhere looking well and healthy. Some of the
early kidneys have given way in gardens, but there is reason
to believe in such ewes due care had not been taken with
the wed.

TIIIII2OIILANDS.—We have bad a good deal of rain in
the valleys, which wu snow upon the high grounds ; and in
many of our more elevated districts,owing to their proximity
to the mountains' the low grounds and arable land are
covered; but ea it is still 'guy fresh, without any symptom
of frost, no apprehensions of any injury to the young crops
are entertained. Sewing, excepting that of turnips, may be
considered LI finished. The braird looks fresh and healthy.
No opinion can be hazarded regarding the potato, as what
has been planted has not yet made its appearance above
ground ; mostly every household planted a few. Farmers
and others, who usually planted nine bolls, contented them-
selves generally with two or three, by way of trial, this

GRAND MILITARY INSPECTION OP THE HOCRE-
HOLD TROOP/I.—This day being appointed for the celebra-
tion of her Mejesty's birth-day, the customary military
inspection of the household troops took place in St. James's-
park. At nine o'clock, the whole of the disposable force of the
five battalions quartered in the metropolis arrived, and the
ground to be occupied having been marked out by the
brigade-major, the troops took up their position as follows :
The flank companies of the let and 2nd battalion of the
Grenadin Guards, flanked by the troops appointed for duty
at Buckingham and St. James's palaces ; the two battalions
of Coldstream Guards occupied the centre; and the second
battalion of the Scot's Feather Guards on the left. The let
Regiment of Life Guards, and the bands of the
several battalions present, were placed on the ex-
treme right. The eight was most brilliant and imposing,
the troops wearing their new clothing, and forming three
sides of a square ; the view from the Horse-guards was mag-
nificently grand. The number of rank and file present
amounted to nearly 1,600. At haltpast 9 o'clock, the officers
commanding the several divisions arrived, as wall as • num-
ber of fashionable, in their carriages, who had the privilege
of entering the marked ground, which was kept by detach-
ments from the various regiments. At precisely fire
minutes past 10 o'clock. the Elute of Wellington, in field-
marehal'a uniform, Prince Albert, Grand Duke Con.
'tontine, Prince Leiningen, Price of Lutes, Duke: of
Saxe Weimar, Marquis of Anglesey, Marquis of Lon-
donderry, Duke of Cambridge, Prince George of Cam-
bridge, Col. Drummond, est., accompanied by a numerous
star, arrived, and were received by the troops presenting
arms, the bands playing the national anthem. The tropkq
haying formed into double open order, were inspected
the Dote of Wellington, aceompanied as above, atter w
the battalions broke into divisions from the right, and
marched past in slow and quick time, when they again
formed into line, and went through several minor evolu-
tions, the ground not being sufficiently extensive to admit of
any grand manmavm being performed. Another grand
salute having been given, the illustrious party and generals
left the ground, and the troops were marched to their
respective quarters.
THE. GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-SIITP.— A well informed
correspondent, writing andel. date, " Tyre la, May 20th" in-
forms us: The springs having gone off seems to have made
' no difference in the position et this noble and unclose-
' tionebly strong alp. She stands now very nearly upright,
and to the eye she appears nearly on an even keel instead'
of being buried as it were eight or nine *et by the head,
lithe has been through the winter. Her stern is but a few
inches below the level of the sand, and her keel is quite
1 visible at low-water, or thereabouts. Captain Claxton, last
week, gave the poor people who live along the shore side, •
and who had been working upon the skip, leave to help
themselves to that portion of the breakwater termed by the
&gots; and very speedily a vast difference was made in its
height—carte, barrows, trucks, hands and arms being
' speedily in requisition ; at low-water, for many dap, this
work went on. The crew have fur some days been engaged
in removing chains and other materials from off the top of
the fagots, preparatory to breaking them up. The poles and
spars are not yet disturbed, nor the foundation of the break-
I water—which, however, must be removed, ma'am it he in-
tended to lift the ship over it. Up to ties list of the sprium
'many persons visited the ship and breakwater. It is reported
on board that timber has been ordered from Downpatrick,
by Captain Claxton, and the bed places in the reed to the
ship are being made Intim far meting wow the fields.—

THE FALL IN Costs.—That important functionary,
the basun, was spin called on this meanieg to announce
to the town a piece of news of lass questionable character
than his last week's proclamation Oh yes, oh yea, oh
yes Glorious news ! Great &et ! Cheap bread mad flour !
Louden, Mark-lane, Monday. Men, men, and children,
inhabiting Bury St. Edmund's, are with great joy informed
that there was a large arrival of wheat and flour in the
Loudon market yeetercla and that wheat was 65. to Be.
per quarter cheaper, ands' 'flour 61. per sack lower, with a
dull gals. God save the Qucsn and the Free-traders."—
