COVENT GARDEN,-THIS DAY,

Wet weather having again set in, trade has been in conse-
quence less brisk. Vegetables are good and plentiful. Pears
and Hothouse Grapes are insufficient for the demand ; the
former consist of Beurre Rance, Ne Plus hli uria, and Easter
Beurre. Apples are as yet plentiful ; among Om are nice
samples of the America,' Newtown Pippin, and we also
observed Lady Apples very tine, at from Is. 61. to 2s. per
dozen. Cob and other Nuts are realising fair prices. Both
Beakale and Rhubarb are now tolerably abundant. But
gpcd Asparagus has not yet become plentiful. Potatoes
have not altered in value since our last report. Mush-
rooms are scarce. Cut flowers consist of Heaths, Primulas,
Early Tulips, Roses, Mignonette, aad Camellias.

THE LAMBING SEASON.—The lambing season in
Surrey, Sussex, and Hants, has commenced geuerally in
these counties, and bids fair to be a very prolific year for
the flockmasten. For not only do the lambs come healthy
and strong, but the greatest proportion of the ewes have
thrown doubles. But the general impression amongst many
experienced shepherds was that the long continu-
ance of wet weather, which is so very injurious to Sheep,
would have caused the lambs to have conic weakly. But
they now are of opinion, that if dry weather should set in,
from the great abundance of turnips and other winter pro-
vender on the land, we shall have a much earlier supply
of fat lamb than usual.
