Gl-.N ER AI, OBIERVATIONS.—CoIoured satin spensers• made very
glort in the waist, lined with white, and trimmed with swansdown,
though on the decline, are not exploded. The only novelty in these
rlensers is the cape, which is cut up on each shoulder, and is round-
-4d behind, but quite square in front; the sleeves, which are bon
atul pldin, ate not so loose as they were worn hat month.
The French bonnet is still nom ; next to it is the novel Neapo-
litan hat, made of primrose or straw colour pearl silk. The crown
of the Neapolitan hat is narrow at the top and broad at the bottom;
the satin is on in byas folds, and those are edged with a very
light silt trimming ; there aretiet more than four or Eve folds in the
crown. The front is a turn•up one, broad in front and shallower
behind. A short plume of feathers, either white or to correspond
with the mantic., finishes this bat.

Tile most ta•teltil novelty in the carriage costume is a short
French pelisse iu white satin, lined with violet sanuiet, and ors&
sanded with violet satin.

MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

From the continued mildness of the Spring. the young Wheats
have become unusually luxuriant in their growth. In most of the
districts where large flock. of sheep are kept, they are generally
feeding down, and 1,0 doubt it will prove with profitable effect. The
early sown Barleys which were chilled by so long a succession of
rains, have recovered their colour within the last ten days, and
throughout Norfolk and Suffolk wear a promising appearance. The
forwrrd plants.of Beans and Pease are free growing in Kent and
Sussex, but are more foul with summer weed* than is usually known
in those counties; hot in the former their drill husbandry will ena-
ble them soon to clean them. Oat sewing has' be- n much retarded
on strong land by the wetness of the season% but on tender soils they
appear to plant well. Ray-Grass, Clover, and Winter Tares, pro-
mise every where ablindant crops. The general tillage, havvever, is
on the decline, which is too visibly manifested throughout most dis-
tricts,
by the neglected state of the lands intended for fallow; this
unfortunately arises either from an inability, or a want of spirit, in
the tenantry. to give. under the pressure of the tinies, that due cul-
tivation to the soil, by a li!seral expenditure thereon,.withont which
it must infallibly deteriorate, to great national loss. The Grazing
counties scarcely.ever experienced so much teed at so early a sea-
son. In the Vale of Aylesbury, and most of the rich marshes on the
banks of the Thames, mole beasts have been laid out 'already than
Is generally known in The middle of May. The Hay markets are
fully supplied, and with but little variation in prieo. Lean stock
of most kinds has fallen considerably, particularly Welch and Seoteb
cattle Smithfield has been. largely supplied through the mouth with
prune beef, mutton, 81141 pig pork, at reduced prices of more than
:s. a stone, but veal and lamb are not cheaper. Tile Wool market
is dull, and in all sorts somewhat lower than that of the last month.

three weeks ago I had some dispute with the pris.nier c>u at:cowls

Mr. Robert Gregson Turner corroborated his fatherN evidence,

She was committed, for trial.
UNION HALL.
Margaret Ryan, a milk carrier in the emploc of Mr. Strafford, of
Stony-street, Borough-market, was on Thursday brought up by Collin_
bourn rind Clark, eh:l4;er! with attempting to destroy hrr infant female
child, of which she delivered herself secretly on Wednesday morning,
It appeared that the prisueer had been repeatedly accused .of being
pregnant by her mistress and 'others, but always denied it. About
seven o'clock on Wednesday morning, however, she was observed to
go to the privy, and remain there for some time. About half an hour
afterwards her mistress, going to the pump, was alarmed by the cries of
an infant. She instantly called her husband and suer, and on investiga-
tion, it was found the cries canto from the privy. The boy was let
down by his father with a rope, and on the surface of the soil, ten feet
from the floor, found a bundle ling, from which the cries cane. On
examining the bundle, it proved to be one of the prisoner's blue aprons,
and its contents a fine new-born female infant, still alive, but not likely
to survive, owing to the injury it had sustained from t.e cold, bumf-
dity, and stench of the soil. It had apparently received same severe
bruises, either in the fall aecitherwise. The Infant is taken care nt,
and the mother is committed for re-examivatiou, its tate shall
have been agertained.
