AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR OCTOPFIL
The continuing declension in the prices of Bread Corn, and other.
grain, is operating so* generally ant ti lige husbandry, that its cor=.
sequences are likely to extend fruit in hvi,nal to considerable national
distress. The accounts from cver distr'ct of the min:erotic farm*
-eing abandoned by the tenants in an uncultivated state, must so far
diminish our produce of gridn, as to render it di ulnltil whether, a
sh,rt time hence, we may he able to ra se a sufficiency from our owls
soil f our own consumption. Though exportations have la:sea
place, of the foreign Wheats, which Gavernment permitted to be
brought in to such an impolitic excess, a bulk of it still remains to
depress the agricultural interest of the British dominions, so that it
may he fuind ihlficult to apply any saving remedy t r a Calamity so
extensive and disindrons.—The Wheat Seed seas: n has been remarkably
foe; that on clover leys has plant d kindly, but that sown on filth
lands could not be got in so well, Pram the want of horses, the num..
her of which the distress of the times has unavoidably diminished.
The last crop of Wheat rises well, exe!pt the growth olsome parts of
t wo or three inland counties, which was materially injured by a blight
just b4ore harvest.—The Fen Countries of Lincoln, Cambridgeshire,
and Ely, have had the finest produce known for many years, parties..
'tidy in their Oat Crops, which are fine in weight as well as large he
hulk.—Clover Seed has been well got uo in general, and being ex-
pected to yield well, has fallen considerably in price.—The Potatae
Crop falls port in prod:!ce, being of small size, from the extreme
dryness of the summer.—Litter Tuinir, where they are a plant, have
improved much from the late rains ;• but those first sown, and also)
the e.irly Coleseeds, will att4td but little feed.—Fortunately the loot
year's crop of Hay has been abundant, upon which the stock of m::fig
districts must principally depend —The Wool maikets are brisker,
both for long and short ti.teces.—Smithfield Market has been abunai
dandy supplied with be•f, mutton, and pig. pork, nearly on Lib',
month's low prices ; but veal is scarce, and higher Is. per stone.—
The Fairs in the liotm Counties have been crowded with lean stock
'of most kinds, for which there Iris been but a slack sale on still
lower prices.—Horses and Colts for husbandry uses ate hardly sitle.tbia
on any ter,ns.

A dreadful horrid murder and pirriCide was last week committed
on the body of a poor labouring inati,• named Russell, at Hare-lane*
near Eslitr, Surrey, who was found ablut eight o'clock in the morn%
log, in consequence of a neighbour seeing sonic bf.oil on the down(
his house, in his bed-room, quite dead, his skull b.ing fractured in
three places by the blows of a hammer ratind lying by him, and ft?!
throat cut from car to ear. SuTicions were cnterta ned that tie shock.
ing act was perpetrated by R hh.3::11, his owo soil, who was hacwilt
to have been on the premises the prece bog evenir g (nterilay, the
2Gth ult.) ; and the evidence produced b-fore the Coroner, C. jern-
mett, Esq. on Saturday fiallowing. induced the in!), to bring in a
verdict of Wilful Murder against his son ; he was 111 e•`ll:;eql.lifliCe
prehended at Greenwich, and is now in tnt- gaol at Kingston, prepa-
ratory to his trial. The wretched culprit, subsequent to the murder*
was married to a young woman at Gre .nwich, where he was appr,
hended. Since he was taken, 1w has conts,ed th.i fact to a brotner„
and told him where he threw the knife with which he cut his father's
throat. His motive appears to have been theft, having rifled the pour
matt's chest, from whence he took snore than 3)1. He is a sailor, aild
a known desperate character.
