AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR NOVEMAER.

Our information from the country, at present, affords
little of novelty. The disheartening conclusion of a
season, most unfortunate and calamitous to the cultiva-
tors of the soil, is at hand, without the slightest present
prospect of relief to the sufferers, or the solace of any
cheerful autiorations ot the future. The report of the
day, however, goes the length of asserting the actual
formation of a new and powerful opposition party of the
landed interest in Parliament, which, it is supposed (3
frail supposition, perhaps) will occasion more disquiet
and actual danger to Ministers, than all the Whig or
Radical badgering of the past times. It has been likewise
said, that the late general temporary abatement of rents
has originated in au erroneous policy, which can never
answer one of its obvious purposes; and that a fair per-
111311Cril reduction would, in the end, have better sub-
served the interest of both parties. The comparatively
small quantity of wheat which has been well harvested,
is said to be fully equal, in quantity and measure, to the
famous crop of last year; and so extensive was the
breadth sown last season, that the markets will be amply
supplied dining the ensuing, however ordinary the qua-
lity of the greater part may be. The grand substitute,
potatoes, is put down as half a cropi of which a great part
will be of a blighted and inferior quality; and now our
sage and learned curb conjurors, in imitation of the ex.
ample of their grandsires, they have a new and fine op-
'tortoni'', to task their wits for a discovery of the cause of
that disease. Wheat sowing has been well performed
on all forward and good lands ; on those of a less fortu-
nate deserptin, front the interruption of too much wet,
has been an irksome and troublesome operation : in
truth, farming on such soils more particularly has been
front early spring to the present month, a most irksome,
harassing. and expensive labour; a melancholy addition
to a desperately losing pine. The early sown wheats
are very forward and luxuriant, and if no frosts come to
check them, will be winter-prowl. Should the moisture
01 the atmosphere continue, sheep in the low-lands will
be in danger of the rut. Turnips, but with more luildge
than bulb, and grass in plenty; but where they have
capital to purchase stock, they cannot entertain very
Linguine hopes of remuneration for their outlay. Mar-
kets, both for the live and dead commodity, have been
progressively
.sinking every week since our last report.
rhos the farmer and graz:er's sheet anchor seems to fail
him. The remedy of long continued fundamental errors
is, unhappily, equally fatal with the disease.

Eacesdric CIaiGUS titles —There was once a Duke of
Shureditch, but the title is extinct. His Grace of Shore-
ditch, together with the Matron of Horton, the Mar-
quis of Pancras, and the Marquis of Shacklewell, ap-
pear to have beets gentlemen archers, and to have ob-
tained those titles from Harry VIII. at Windsor. It is
well known that the head of the society of bowmen, or
archers, held their titular dignity for a long series of
years alter, and we believe this is one of the very in-
stances in which emissent titles have been laid aside
without attainder. His Grace of Shoreditch held a grand
fete In Smithfield, Seprember 17, 1583, in which 4000
archers were concerned its the processions and cereals°.
1141, of whom above 1000 were decorated with gorgeous
gold chains.
