AGUICULIURAL REPORT.

From the contineance of wet and unfavourable weather during the
greater part of lain month, sowing the Lent clrn was necessarily de-
layed ; and even bean setting was scarcely finished upon the most for-
ward lands. Within the present month the greatest cxertio.is have
been Made, the state the lands having been mush improved by the
late drying winds. In some of the northern and backward districts,
bean sowing is scarcely yet finished, and the spring seed season will
be generally late; upon forward lamb it will not be so late as had
been expected, and all the operations of the husbandry seem to be
carried on in a spirited and effective manner. The wheat. have b:en
greatly injured by too much wet, high winds, and the changeable.
11e4 of the weather; but no a here to that dcgrceto preclude improve-
ment, should a mild and genial season succeed. Rye grass. and
clever, are a good plant, and coming forward awn Clover and
grass seeds plentiful and declining in price ; importations of clover
wed having made up for the shortness of our own crop, and badness
of the sample. Hops rather advancing in price. Illy and straw
fodder in great plenty, yet the cattle abroad in mint parts have not
done well, and will go to spring keep in rather a low condition. Tur-
nips, often in grett requeit e t this staison. have so abounded, as to
occasion the ;mashy of giving them away in order to clear the lands.
In some parts, they have been drawn and spread upon grass land for
future tuie. The country has been well supplied with live stank, for
which good pries have been obtained byte traders and dealers.—
Wool still advancing on speculation of the short crop, kiln the great
mortality which lets taken place amongst the sheep and lambs, in
consequence of the rot. Cows and calves darer. Horses of all de-
scriptions at a high price, and twiddling cart horses more in request
than fur years past. Prices generally satisfactory to the rttriwr, and
a fair prospect of improvement and plenty. The desire for a coin-
=wont of the salt duties, universal.

THE NEW PLAN ON FlNANce.—The following fre.l.
notification upon this subject was communicated with
the usual formality to the Gentlemen of the Stock Ex-
change :

" TreasuryChEmbers, April 2g, ICH.

" Lord Liverpool and the Chancellor of the Exchequor
have, upon the application of several of the Sust•rihers for
con.:erting Z per Cent. Annuities into Annuities at the rate df
31 per Cent., consented to place persons who have subscrihee
20301. and less than 50,0001. 3 per Cent. Annuities, upon thr
same footing as persist.* who have subscribed above the 'Atte.
sum, in regard to the period for making the transfer of b3l
per Cent. upon the sons subscribed.
They have also consented to postpone the payment of the
Instalment upon the Exchequer whish may be subscribed
to be funded at the following periods, ViL. :-
15 per Cent. on or before the Ist of August, igie,
13 per Cent, on or before the 3J of September.
23 per Cent. oa or before the 10th of October.. ,
10 rev Cent. on or before the 2i di of November.
10 per Cent. on or before the 11th of December.
10 per Cent. on or before Site 13th of January, 1019.
And the remainder on or before the 19th of Ihb. 1819.

" In case Money should be paid in lien of Exelsequer Bills,
in discharge ofany of tlsose Instalments, one per cent. on such
Money Payment, and Interest at the rate of dd per cent. per
diem, from the Ist day of A tognst to the day of payment, must
be paid accnrding to the terms of the twiner notice."
THE KALVIDO3COPE.—.% new optical instroment, called a
Kaietiloseope, said to be the discovery and invention of Dr.
Brewster of Edinburgh, is at present all the rage in the me-
tropolis. With the aid chiefly of two longitudinal darkened
pieces of glass, placed at x, certain angle inside a circular
tube, and some common bits of coloured glass at the end--
optical tilltisions are produced by reflection, °film most beau-
tiful colours, shape, and-symmetry, and in form ever vary.
iog. Such is the amusement with this simple instrument,
that the Doctor's Patent is tinkled ; stml tinniest anal glass-cut.
ter; ate in one universal requisition. The invention is likely
to be ofgreat utility to calico and fitmr-cloth printers, by pre-
nting thein figures far patterns in vas iety of !ennead beauty
unparalleled.
On Sunday, the 1911. ult. off Cardill Point, about 14 miles
front emnbletown, a large whale was discovered about I
chanuel. Mr. Campbell, of Cardill, immediately got four
boats .nanned and armed with every offensive weapon they
could muster, himself accompanying the expeditis.n. As they
approached, the peacefiil Arctic wanderer la) Ali inhering on
the oecan,and appeared to be in a weakened conditiois, which
created a belief that it would prove an easy eatstunist ; but
on coming to close quarters, and probing it with their nett_
pops, it evinced a powerful activity, instantly plunged, and
made considerable play, !daring the assailants in i sssss sinent
danger. Notwithstanding the hazard, they continued Use
pursuit, and finally succeeded in towing it into Port lice, at
Cardill. It measures 04 feet in length. and .511 in eircuinfer..
reoce.

inure sagely on these matters. The Earl of Warn la asked
Henry VI. why it pleased Majcsiy to go so attired 1
The F. nig answered— It beam** Gob to excel his subjects
in Virtue, not in Vc:iture."
