MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

The Reports from every part of the eonntry, as far as eon-
earns its resources, culture and growing crops, are simply
those of the most encouraging prosperity. We have been
firtenate, for some years pa.t, in favuurable autumnal sea-
son• : but, probably, the oldest man in existence cannot
recollect, slating Irons the tint week in September, to the
present dd', a latter season equal, to the present. The present
writer, a constant and attentive observer or the weather, can
answer for Intl A years. Ruses and flowers in hilt bloom,
strawberries, cucu 'Wien, peas, cauliflowers, contribute to deck
cot and cater for this dclighttulautumu. Bosh the pastureN and
the stubbles afford In xuciant and pleutiful food tor-sheep:
and the straw yard %via be a very late resource. Gress has
been so high as to be laid, and has been mown within the
present month. The cows yield a summer dose of II ilk, and
the butter produced is excellent in quality. 'Early turnips
generally good, and those not sown later than mid August
prove beyond expectatiou. Latter potatoes have riseu well.
The cattle crops, rye, tares, ite. were never more promisiug.
The wheat looks well on all, and is as forward on rich warm
soils as to some seasons in the month of May. 'llse apprehen.
'sion that the luxuriance of the plant may exhaust it, has in-
•tluced the practice in many parts of eating the wheat off with
sheep, a custom hitherto unknown in &ultimo.

An American paper gives the following anecdote.—A gentleman of
the bar in a neighbounng county, in easy circumstances, and pretty
good practise, had rendered himself somewhat remarkable by attempts
in the way of mattitnowill tweculation. A maiden, rather advanced
in years, rending :Some miles "slant in the neighbourhood, bearing
of this lawyer's speenhuing propensity, that his character was unexcep-
• tionable, and his life tolerably good, resolved upon making him her
husband. She hit upon the following expedient :—She pretended
suddenly to be taken very ill, and sent for the man of the law to draw
her will. He attended for that purpose. By her will she devised
10.0001. in the bank stock, to be divided among her three cousins,:
tome thousands in bonds and notes to a river—as vast tended estates
to a favourite nephew. The will being finished, she gave the law
yer a very liberal fee, and enjoined seeresy of him for smite pretended
purpose.-- Thu..precluding him from an inquiry into her real circum-
-stances. Need I mention the result ? in a f innight, the lady
thought proper to be again restored to health. The lawyer sailed to
congratulate her on her restoration, and begged permission tesvisit
her, which was politely given. After a short courtship, the ilesired
offer was made. The bargain was concluded, add ratified by the
Priest. The lawyer's whole mats by his wife consists of an antaisy
of 65 dollars.

Mr. Kelly opened the ease, and
Mr. Adolphus stated it to the Jury. Ife commenced by
observing, that this rase, thoti4is rather a singular one, was not'
one of finite novelly, for there was nothing new under the
sun. It was it chat ge against a noblemen of•ititlb rank iii the
sister kingdom, ai.4l of similar rank in this, save the pats ilhte
of sitting and voting as a Peer of Parliament ; mid the runny*
imented ko him were assent., false imprisonment, and es ter-
tian of a soon of floury from tour young gentlemen, tinder
circumstances, to obi. h he shovels have to allude, of no of.
dinary aggravation. The gentleman (Mr. Hall) who brought
the prosecution, and the other yrfing se-sidemen who were
concerned in it, had no vindictive motive in it. Their twin-
cipal object was, that impartial justice should take its courNe,
and that their•nnnies should he rescued from the ineptitude's
of having tamely siihntitted to unmerited insult, medley might
add outrage; and here he-felt it thee to the Challactrr of those
young gentlemen to state, that had the moderate but tamely
course which they ps °posed been pursued ; had that lustily.
and dignified trellis' which shooed characterise the conoltser
of a nobleman been adopted, lilt the other side, the Case might
long since have been -settled, and never have met the public
eye. But that would not satisfy Lord Itanelagh; he had
nea,le his election,'ise had chorea to conic into Cosset, and as
that was his wish, he shouid take its cusisespiences upon'
himself. lie should submit to hear the whole tenth of the

ship. He wonld leave his Lordship for a moment, sued state
to the jury who the gentleman well by whom, on his own
behalf, cud that of his friends, the present prosecution was
brought. He was a gentleman es respectable as Lord Raise-
high as any other stern. He was the son of a most respectable
gentieman, the Rev. Mr. Hall, of Her, fortbisire ; and he was
of the liberal prolession—" of our profession," continued Mr.
Adolphus, "mud God turbid that I should ever crouch so
iuw as to admit that it was inferior to any in society." The
other gentlemen concerned in the prosecution were all of
them highly respectable. What the defence which would he
set up was, lie you'd not anticipate. It would appear to them
in evidence, that Mr. Hall nod his three young friends bad,
in the month ofJoiy last, taken a boat and proceeded up the
Thames •011 a party of pleasure. %Viten they bad reached
near that part where Lord Ranelagles residence was situated,
which was nut far trout Putties-bridge, they were overtakes'
by a violent storm of thunder sued fall., which obliged them
to run their boat into Use first convenieut spot they could find
for that purpose. This happened to be part of the Noble
Lord's hind. Here they took 'shelter ender a large tree fur
a while, and eller the inclemency of the weather had subsided,
they sat down on the grass-plat, to partake of some slight re-
-freshluemt which they had brought with them. During this
very,abort repast, some of the party amused themselves by.
singing. They had finished, and were about to return to
their boat, when they saw a man with a double-barrelled gun
coueing towards them, whom they at first took to lie a game-
keeper, but who turned out to be no other than Lord Raise-
high himself. He was followed by two of his tits armed
with immense bludgeons, such as were used by the natives of
the Sandwich Islands. Three others of his servants were
seen coining in another direction, one armed with a pitchfork,
and the others with souse other weapons of offence. When
bis Lordship approached, he demanded, in no very mild tone,
what they did there ? and being answered they lead taken

milting any trespass, be asked who and what they were 1 To
this Mr. Hall replied, that they were gentlemen; and re-
; pealed his declaration of no intended harm on-their part. His
Lordship remarked, that he had of late been much annoyed
by the rabbet coming out his grounds, bat that lie was snore
I annoyed by the well-dressed rabble, than by any other. He
followed that remark up by stating, that they were not
gentlemen, that they should follow his servants to Boa-street
to answer tar their conduct. After some other observations
on both sides, which erossid appear in evidence, Mr. Hall and
iris party were .shout to proceed to their boat, when, by a
signal trouts Lord Rissielagli, two of his -servants,• one aimed
with a pitchfork and the other wills a club, stepped before
them aged opposed their departure. Some further conversa-
tion thee took place during the time they were detained,
which was about 20 minutes, and it ended in a declaration
front Lord liaatelagh, that. he would let tbens go about their
business, but that they should fiat give sense compensation to
his servants fur their trouble. This the gentlemen, seeing the
very unpleasant situation in which they stood, consented to
dootud they gavels. to one of the servants in his Lordship's
presence, and were then antlered to depart. A few days

were only a few yards from the water. There was a pathway
behind the tree; and immediately behind that, a ditch and
hedge. Our piovisions were contained in a Milan I 1111 l the.;
we had uo wine nor spirits. . Alter we had liuished our repast,
we were about to return to the boat, wheal saw a-ntaa
coming towards us. with a large tiliidgeou in his hand, and
accompanied by a dog. He addressed himself In Its and said
that my Lord was gnite surprised at our conduct in coming
to trespass on his grounds. One of my companions asked
who was my Lord ; to which he replied " My Lurd Ranelagly
on whose ground you uow are." At this timed saw two other
nien coining down towards us, armed in a similar manner.
There were, besides, three men wangle in the same direction
front another part of the gritends. One of these hail a
double barrelled gun, and another with a pitchfork. The
bludgeons appeared ta.me.lndiati clubs. The man with the
pitchfork saute on one side ; those with the chihs on the
other ; anJ he who held the gun. whom 1 found to be Lord
Ranelagli, advanced in front of us. Wheu I saw him up-
prOatil I proceeded tow-aryls hina,.but he called out in a loud
voice," Halloo, what businew have you there?—you must
know that you are committing a irespays. To this I answer-
ed. that we had been driven to the place-for shelter from the
storm ; that we had not intended to do, nor lied we done any
harm, but that we world then.go away, and were very sorry
fir having evon unintentionally committed a trespass by
coining on his grounds. After this,l stepped forward to go
towards the boat ; but Lord Ranelagli waved his hand, and
two men immediately ran betweeu Ow boat and we. One of
them presented the pitch..furic at me, and refused to let me
pass. 'fhis interference on the part of the men eppeared to
toe to be entirely caused by L"rd Ranelagli's motion of the
hand. Immediately on my being stopped, his Lurdship said,

Waldo who lie woe. To %snick Mr. Waldo made a similar
answer, and tefereed bins for its truth to alr. Scutt, a magic
trate of Hammersmith, who was Iris-friend. About twenty
minutes then elapsed, which were tilled up with a long con-
versation, in which he endeavoured to prove, and I to dis-
prove, the impropriety of my conduct. At leitgili lie put an
end to it, by saying," Well, I shall let you off On your-making

to contend, that the charge of extortion could not be main-
tained in law, even if the facts given in evidence were true,

eery strong terms on the cOushict of Mr. Hall, and on life

letter complained of ill treatment on the part of Lord Kane.

he
also complained that this letter was not answered. It
was not answered. Lord Kanelagh treated it with the con-
tempt which was dee to the impudent scribbling of * lawyer's
clerk,whe forgot the respect which wen due to his superiors.
The impudent libel which that letter• contained, he would
have no hesitation inadvising the noble lord to have answer-
ed in a Court of Law, in the way it deserved. lie then
called

Anthony Maewitlt, who stated that he was butler to Lord
Ranelagh. Remetabe►ed the 21th of July last; it was a tine
day. Did not remember a storm of thunder ; was nresent
when Lord Ratielagli came down to where the prusectitur
and his companioas were. Saw the four persons together.—
There was a green enshion on the potent!, and the appearance
of souse persona having been eating. Lord Ratielagh asked
what they wanted there. On which Hall came up, with his
bands in his pocket, and said, that the) had been hiding up
the river, and had come there to refresh themselves. Lord
Ranelagh remarked, that their conduct was improper, mud
that they shoeld have known better. Ohe of them expressed
his sorrow, mod said ho did not know of any harm in what
was done. Lord Itanelagh torld him that he had been robbed
frequently, by permits coining there ; and after some farther
enhversations told them that they might go away. His Lord-
ship then returned towards his house, after one of the parties
had thanked hint for his politeness. They then proceeded
towards the boat; but one of Wein turned and gave him (wit-
nevi) souse silver for himself and the other servants who were
p t. Lord Ranelagh was on his way 10 his house at that
time, and could not sec what was done. Hr never told any
of them to give the money, nor did he offer to detain them
front the boat. He ordered witness to remain and see theta
off, which he did. The matt (Gregg) who was put en his
trial, was tint present at any part of the transaction.
Two or three other servants of Lord Ranelagh gave nearly
the same evidence as Macwith; after which, the defence
being closed,

Mr. Adolphus rose to reply. He denied having need any •
one word in the course of his opening speech, which was
onbecominr, him as an advocate, or a hitch war not called for
by the circumstances of the ease. He then defended t;ie
conduct of Mr. Hall. which. lie maintained, was the very re.
verse of that whirl, it was described, nod said he threw bark
the charges which had been made against that respectable
young gentleman with contempt—let that word light where
it may. With respect to tic defiance which had been thrown
unt, of intended proseentitin 4:piiiist his client, he treated it
with indignation; that defiance might. if the party pleased,
be put in earcittion ; but he should treat it at any time with
indignation and contempt as the effort of imperious pride
and impudent atidacity—let those Writes be takes, where they
might.
Mr. Alley.—Do yon mean that as a personal insult to me,
Sir? If yon do it shall not be sunoticed.
Mr. Adolphus.—Gentlemen ni the Jury, I have always
made it a rule, which I ant determined to adhere to, during
my professional life, never so give any persolcd explawitiuti
in a Court of Justice of what passes mere. If l have said any
requiring such, or have beet)inelerstwed to base said
so, "I
sin known out of doors, mud may he found at all
times.
Mr. Alley made no reply : but Mr. Adolphus, in the ermrse
speech, said, that Ise had not meant the words to apply
to Mr. Alley, and that lie rook! not so meant it ; but it;
under the cover of what Ise felt it his duty to state, ant im.
pression of that nation* were tnktit, he was to be seen in anu.
thee place. He then proceeded to detest., the rental ks
which he hail made in his opening speech. an.: observed, that
his allusion to the feudal times was rather meant as humorous
Vests severe; but, at the same time, he now telt it ii;:ht to
express his regret that the noble lord hail not shown a little
mire of that hospitality for which the feudal baron. hail been
so reinarkahle —that a strao4er revising shelter or relief
WA, never turned away from their doors As to his language,
it Was what ihe sattject deserted; lie spoke what Ise felt,
and what the nature of the r;l•4e ealculated to dictate.—
With respect to the Ilio eat of iiitended prw.erillion, he should
iittani say that lie.dessii•til it. The noble lord might take the
udru e uloith bee,' given to liim ; he .eight institote pros
