AmucutTuß AL REPORT.

Sowing prnrccds with r•ipidity, but much remains to lie done. In
all probability the seed will be got in during the present season in
the mat perfect state, the laildslraviiig -worked' vi ell througliont,
from the dryness and mellowness of the soil. A greater breadth of
kind, by many thousands (Weems, than ever before upon this Wand,
have been this season preMted for potatue planting, which has
already advanced in the forward districts. The spring crops all
look svell, but the barley and oats will soon be in want of rain. The
hop bine said to come up strong and healthy. Rye very bad. The
wheats still appear thin, which will be no sort of disadvantage to
the crop should the remainder of the spring prove warm and genial,
with moderate shower.; upon some parts, however, of the clover ley
wheats, the plant has been' so dreadfully ravagt'd. by the slug and
wire worm, as to be deemed irrecoverable. The risk of sowing
wheat upon clover leysLin a suspicious season, is too great. As the
only, though partial security against this misfortune is the rook
she should. •be preserved, not destroyed, in the country. The
swill damage done to corn and roots by rooks limy be guarded
against, but they are our only guards against most destructive insects.
The fruit trees loaded with blossom, and, notwithstanding the con.
tiotiance oldie cold north and easterly winds, hitherto no great
appearance of blight. •
Reports of the stock of corn on hand more favourable in general
last month, arising probably from the vast quantities of foreign.
lately exposed for sale; it is, nevertheless, confirmed by personsof
the most extensive information, that, independently of foreign sup.
ply, our last crop'of bread corn, large as it really was, would be in.
sufficient for the year's consumption.
Cattle markets, both for fat and lean stock, somewhat reduced in
price. Mulch cows and cart horses nevei before at such a price in
Britain ; cows just calved have been sold at 3M. each—cart horses
from 001. to VA. e..ch. This extraordinary price, it may be hoped,
will promote the use of oxen for labour, one of the greatest savings
both individual and national, in the whole rauge of rural economy.
r The distemper arrising from atmospheric influenzfi in horses, bus
prevailed considerably this spring. The rot in sheep has futtpately
ceased, and the lambing has been, thus far successful.
