PARIS HORSE RACES.
The Races for the prizes of the arrondissement took place
on Moliday last, in the Champ-de-Mars, in the presence of
Count Chabrol, I'refect of the Seine. The four prizes of 1,200
francs were won in the following manner :
First Race—For horses of the youngest age, and either sex,
of the French breed.
This race was tun by M. Desgrand's La Caillette and Ti!.

Perrier's La Juliette.
The mares, in consideration of their age, ran but once round
the course. La Juliette ran the distance in two minutes and
thirty seconds, and won the race.
The Second' Race, for half-blood horses of the second age,
was run by M. Wartel's La Clarisse and M. Grimwood's
L'Olga.
The latter horse won. He went twice round the Champ-des-
Mars in five minutes thirty-two seconds and two-fifths.
For the Third Race, for young horses of the youngest age,
and foreign breed, there was no oompetition, and Zlr. Drake's
La Macaroni ran round the course in two minutes and thirty
seconds alone.
The Last Race was run by M. Cazalot's Tigress and M.
Drake's Distribution. Distribution gained the prize, having
run twice round the course in five minutes twenty seconds and
two-fifths.
Between the races there was a contest by geldings of seven
hands high and under, rode by boys from 12 to 15 years old.
La Pomponnette, belonging to M. Cremieux, ran the dis-
tance very easily in two minutes and forty-six seconds, and
won the prize, which was a silver cup given by the amateurs.

Veins of ore and springs of mineral waters re-
main yet undiscovered in the unexplored hills
and vallies of Wales. Three mineral springs
within a few yards of each other, have lately been
discovered on a small tenement in the township
of Penarth, in the parish of Llanfair, Montgo-
meryshire.
The Frankfort Journal says—A: great number
of merchants at Leipzic continue to quit that
city to establish themselves at Dresden. This
emigration is attributed to the stagnation of
business, and to the exclusive increase of imports
of one description and another.

!AGRICULTURAL REPORT
FOR STAFFORD, WORCESTER, AND SALOP,

AUGUST 1825.

The variable weather that we have had during
the month of August, although it has added to the labour and
anxiety of the farmer, has, had a most decidedly beneficial
effect upon the crops, and the paStures have experienced its
benign influence in a most especial degree.—The Wheat has
been housed-in a quicker and generally in a better state than has
been known for years, and considerably earlier than customary
and of a truth we may say, that it has produced a very fair
average crop, such a one that even farmers say they are con-
tent, and that is a very great admission.—Oats and Barley have.
(contrary to customary seasons) been later than the Wheats ;
the straw in both of these species of grain is remarkably short,
and as usual in such seasons has ripened very irregularly; the
general expectation is, that they will both be under the average
crop, and of but inferior quality.—The. rain has had a most
surprising effect upon the Turnips, they have covered the land
well, and the bulbs will be very large; the Swede keep up
their superiority.-111angel Wurzel has likewise felt the in-
fluence of the genial showers; the weight of root will be very
great, and most important and useful will this valuable root be
next spring.--JAucern.and Saintfoin have thrown out very great
swathes, the former in particular appears to flourish best on
these parts ' • it has been twice cut, and is now almost ready
' for the third crop. It is best for this plant not to he cut
four times ; but at the latter end of the year run the sheep flock
over it for a few days, then give it a good top dressing of
rotten manure between the drills, and in the spring an early
forking between the rows, and you will then ensure a valuable
produce. A small quantity of Burnett, as a spring feed for
sheep, has been sown experimentally, the result we shall not
fail reporting ; upon calcareous soil it has been found to answer
very well.—Hops have much recovered since the warm rains
and warm nights; and many plantations will produce a very
fair crop.—Potatoes have taken another start ; and should the
autumn prove a fine and late one, the grower will be amply
remunerated.—Carrots and Parsnips are throwing out most
abundant tops; may we hope that the roots have a corre-
spondent increase; we are afraid not; but at any rate the tops
will be useful to the dairy.
