AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

The severe .weather in the early part of last
month has bad varied effects on, the pursuits of
agriculture, the most conspicuous of which con-
sisted in the change of employment among the
working cattle upon the farm, 'by directing their
lab Our from the plough to the cart—as the atten-
tive farmer iv;i: not lose the opportunity of con-
veying the manure upon his tender soils, at the
moment :t can be done without injury from the
trampling' of ,the animals and the track of the-
wheels ; but the early frost, that is so propitious
fo this labour, makes great inroad into the winter'
stock of provisions. The late fall of snow, and
sudden thaw, has greatly revived the flag of the
,wheat plant, which had apparently suffered -in
point of colour from the preceding frosiy nights.
The late severe Weather has increased the barn
labour, to furnish straw for the cattle; but the
deficiency of corn produce in the year 1811, with
the great demand for seed last autumn, has run
so far into the last year's produce, as to prevent
the price of corn front being reduced so much as
was expected froM the late apparently taVOurable
season and productive harvest,.
Barley has comp more freely to market since
the great demand for straw. The quality
strong, and the yield abundant, . •
The soiling crops for next spring had, before
the frost set in, formed a strong 'flag and good
covering to the soil, which, consequently, will
protect the roots through the winter.

At the dinner of the Grand Lodge Of Freema-
sons, to be given to the Right non. the Earl of
MOIRA, A. G. M. on Wednesday, the 13th Jan.
next previous to his departure for India, a Alasonic
Jewel, of a value not less than 500 guineas, will
be presented to his Lordship, in token of the high
sense which thcC Craft at large ontertain of his
Lordship's most valuable services to the Society,
from the year 1791 to the present time, and of the
brotherly affection the) bear him.
On Wednesday night,. about twelve o'clock,
ns one of the
.Iforse Parole, belonging to Bow.-
street, was On duty between Brentford and Houtis-:
lon', he observed a man mounted on a black mare,
proceeding at a loitering pace, apparently without
an object,
,which induced him to question the
man as to 144 bOsiness to which he replied, he
belongedto Russell's waggon, which was gone to
Bedlont ; but on the parole questioning him
farther, be found he knew nothing-of the waggon,
which oacasioned him to tell the man he must go
back with him to a public-house near at hand : to
this the man readily agreed ; but they had pro-
ceeded only a short distance, ;when the man sud-
denly jumped of f his mare, and got Over a hedge,
into a. gardener's ground. The patrole in at-
tempting to pursue him, unfortunately fell with,
his into a ditch. He extricated himself,
howeier, and went into the gardener's ground,
in pursuit of the man, where he searched for
him in vain a consitknkble time. The patrol, re-
mains in possession of the wire which the man
loft behind him.

On Monday last, as some labourers were dig-
ging in a garden belonging to Mr. Palmer, as Lit-
tle Chester, near‘Derby, a large large skeleton of
a man was found about two yards deep in the
ground, quite perfect and uncovered except a
few loose stones rudely placed around It, zueasur-
