AGRICULTURE; &c.

MONTHLY REPORT FOR APRIL.—The growing
crops of Wheat vary much in their present ap-
pearance,
according to the condition of the soil ;
on cold wet lands, they have lost colour, and in
many parts their plant also. The most promising
are those on clover-lays; those on tilth, and
bean and pea eddishes, are in general foul, for
want of the necessary means for clean and pro-
fitable culture. Prime samples of Wheat are
scarce, and rising in price. Barley sowing has
been much retarded through the eastern district,
by the great abundance of Turnip and other
green feed,.for which sufficient stock could nal
be procured to take it off in due time. The Oats
have been got in well in many parts of the Fed
countries ; burmany extensive farms thereon re-
main'unsown, from the inability either of land-,
lord or tenant to cultivate them. Winter Tares
are very forward and abundant, and so are the
Rye Grass and Glovers. The meadows and pas-
tures were never fuller of grass at this season of
the year. Rape for seed blooms promisingly on
high lands, but those in the fens of Lincoln,
Huntingdon, and Cambridgeshire, have suffered
much from the early floods. Smithfield fell off
at the end of the month in its supply of prime
Beef and Lamb. Mutton, 'Veal, and Pig Pork
continued coming up in plenty. The early fairs in
the Shires for Lean Stock have had a brisk de-
mand, from the great scarcity of homebred steers
and heifers, which the general distress among the
dairy farmers has rendered them unable to rear.
The latter fall of lambs has been very favourable,
more twins having been dropped, particularly in
the Down flocks, than has been kndwn for many
springs past. The Wool market is nearly sta-
tionary for all kinds at last month's prices.—
Good Horses, particularly boney cart colts, sell
more freely, and at some advance in price.

DISTURBANCES zil MONMC)UTIISHIRE.

(From the Gloucester Journal of Monday.)

On Friday last, the 26th instant, a meeting of
the Magistrates. and Deputy Lieutenants was
held at Usk, at which his Grace the Duke of
BEAUFORT, Lord Lieutenant, presided, for the
purpose of taking into consideration the disturb-
ed state of the county. The Ist resolution states
that, " comparing the low prices of provisions
with the present average rate of wages paid to,
the colliers, they are in a much better state than
the labouring classes in general ; and that, in the
present depressed state of the iron trade, no ad-
vance in their wages appears practicable." The
remaining Resolutions relateto the measures to
be enforced for the maintenance of the peace,
and for bringing the refractory to a sense of their
duty to their employers and families.
A Special Sessions of the County Magistrates
was also held at Pontypool, on Friday se'nnight,
which, though convened at a very short notice,
was numerously attended. A reward of. 501. was,
ordered to he offered for the conviction of persons
going about in disguise, in women's clothes and
with blacked faces, by night, exercising any
species of threat or intimidation ; a proclama-
tion was also ordered for preventing or sup-
pressing mendicity ; and other energetic and ne-
cessary measures for preserving and restoring the
peace of the county .were adopted.
The preceding-night (Thursday) a violent at.-
tack had been made on a house at Tredegar, in
which were some men who still continued at
work; as th,ey repelled the violence by fire-arms,
one or more of the assailants were wounded,
which, it is expected,' will lead to their being
discovered and taken. Early on Saturday morn-
ing a large party of colliers assembled at Gelly-
ha w colliery, stopping by force and chaining to-
gether nineteen waggons laden with coals for the
Tredegar Works.
Intelligence of this outrage, and complaint hav-
ing been made to J. H. Moggridge, Esq. the
neighbouring Magistrate, he instantly repaired to
the spot, accompanied by Capt. Lewis's troop of
Yeomanry Cavalry,.who were at the time break-
fasting at Woodfield. Every endeavour to dis-
suade the misguided workmen from their illegal
purpose, and every warnidg of danger and friendly
exhortation, proving vain, the Riot Act was
read, and the consequences of remaining
together after the' expiration of an hour,
or of any previous breach of the peace.,
fully. explained. In less than 20 minutes, how-
ever, a general attack was made on the waggons
in the rear, and the coals were thrown out • upon
which, hoping still to avoid the painful alterna-
tive of ordering the cavalry to charge, the Magi-
strate syized one of., the ringleaders; but, after
some resistance, he was rescued, arid the cavalry
were then ordered to clear the ground, which was
effected in a few minutes, with equal celerity and
humanity, not a single individual being even
wounde'J. The waggons were then forwarded
under guard of the cavalry, and, together with
55 others,.making in the whole 74 waggons, were
conveyed, notwithstanding repeated attempts to
break up the roads in advance, to within three
miles of the Tredegar Works, where they were
met by a detachment of the Scots Greys, under
'Captain Wynham, accompanied by the Vicar of
Abergavenny.
DESERTING FARMS.—The desertion of 'farms
by their occupiers, after a thorough clearance
of the property, is beginning to be very alarm-
ing in part of Monmouthshire. It is an abso-
lute fact that two Magistrates residing in that
county travelled eighteen miles on Saturday
se'nnight, to give possession to the landlord
of a deserted farm, and in order to complete the
business they must travel as many more ! The
same Magistrates had the mortification to learn,
as they went along, that several other tenants in
that part of the county had already done the same
thing !

A small quantity of young green peas, which
when shelled would probably fill xabout a pint
measure, were produced on Saturday morning,
in Covent-garden Market, and for which four
guineas were demanded.
The Duke of GRAFTON'S bay filly Pastille, by
winning the 2000 guineas stakes at Newmarket,
including the bets, is said to have put 50001. into
his Grace's pocket.
