The appatent arrears for the,years 1803 and 1804
will not be collet-fed. On finally passing the accounts
in the Exchequer, the Receivers 'General have credit
for the amount certified by Commissioners to have
been for causes, allowed by the Act of Parliament,
diseharged from the assessment, and also for sums
returned, insuper to be recovered by process from the
Court Of-Exchequer. The amount of these appear,
from .accorints passed for 1803, to -exceed the- pre-
sene-arrears here stated, and probably the same will
arise in subsequent years. Pithhof the arrears fot

For the year ending sth April, 1807, the above
account is'made out from aeltial returns, except from
the department of the War Office.
- For. the year ending sth April, 1808, returns
from 218 Surveyor's Districts have. been received;
from which it appears that the Assessments on
Trade and Professions -have decreased ; so that on
the whole a diminution of duty may be computed;
to the extent of 7-210001. nearly in the assessments by
'Commissioners for'Gtneral PurpOses'; but which is
overbalanced by the deddatiOni of duty it other de•
part mentel. _ _

For the year ending sth April, 1808, returns from
25Surveyors' Districts have been received ',• the're-
suit from which is more furourable than in the
year preceding, at the rate of 4-16 per cent.
crease,- and will therefore warrant an estimate
to the amount of that year. The remainder of that
year, e'xcept in-the article of Duty on Dividends, is
likevrise'computed on the amount of 'the preceding
year from the same sources, for wart of returns.

ORDE,R OF ST. PATRICK.

The Installation of the knights of St. Patrick took
place on Thursday se'nntght in Dublin ; his Grace
the Duke of RICHMOND, Grand Master. The Earl
.of BECTIVE was p-oxy for his father, the Marquikof
I-lEAForr. The other Knights installed were the
Marquises of WATEu FORD and ELY ;
Itonest, Costuogiot,and 4iiANNOU. •
The dress and plume* worn on the oceasiott nett
superb. Ugiaitak consisted of eighteen fee
thers, scarlet, bluit,'4l4l..white, sum:mooed upon
hats of white satin,. Jihad with Nue, turned up be-
fore with a star of the Order iu front, from which
the plume rises. The robes were blue silk lined
'with white, richly trimmed with silver, and silver
tassels ; breeches and waistcoats of white satin to
correspond.

Mier the Installation, his Grace the LORD L/ELT-
TENANT, Grand Master of the Order, gave a grand
dinner to the Knights, their &quires, and the th-
ficcrs of the Order in Patrick's Hall.

BAI was expe,aed to be most brilliant. Her
Grace thn Duchess of RICHMOND, Lady EDWARD
SOMILIISET, and several other elegantes of the vice-
inal party, wore miniature plumes it, honour of the
,occasion.—Such was the arraugerneat made !or this
splendid ceretnon.y.

The change that bas taken place in the customs
of Parliaineut since the year 1571 i forms a curious
article in historical records. At that period, and be-
fore, in the " order and usage how to keep a Parte-
nlerit in England in these dales," it is stated that
" the beginning is at eight of the clocke in the
morning, and dooth continue until eleven of the
cloche." The great alteration which has taken place
in the modes of life, will sufficiently account for the
difference in the time of the daily sitting of Parlia-
ment, and the vast exten:ion of the period of dis-
cussion must be imputed to that persevering zeal
among the Opposition Members, which induces them.
to sacrifice ease and health, not in pursuit of place
and pregit (as might be supposed), but merely fur
the good of their country !
The following letter, which has been received
from a very respeaable quarter, confirms the state-
ments already given of the commercial policy main-
tamed by the Court of Russia :
" RIGA, Ju 9.—The most severe measures are
reunited to, to prevent any thing from/England be-
ing admitted. Near 1* vessels and cargoes are already
condemned, the Danish and French Minister, hay,-
ing severally declared the certificates counterfeit,
which have been exhibited from Bergin, and ports,
of Holland. A Commission, in which all the Con-
suls are to sit, has been appointed to examine the
papers of every vessel that enters any Russian porti.
This already causes much delay, and a large pre-
mium is to be held oat fot every one that proves a
fraud; in which the Captain and crew are to parti-
cipate, if they favour the condemnation, which fol-
lows of coure."

Hail ! all the dear delights once more
That cheer thy rude domain.—
What joy thy Sylvan haunt's t'explcre !
Thy beauties to regain !
The bold blue hill's majestic line ;
The plains ; the distant sea;
beep gidns, and woodi, and liwns corribine;,
lo richest harmony.

Yet the lov'd scenes, we hire descry,
A latent spell impact;
And while they lure the wanditios eye,
In raptures bind the heart.

The sweet Enchantress then we'll own
Whose charms our breasts inspire :
'Tis Nature : Nature's self alone,
In all her wild attire.

Composer an opportunity of shelving his skill as a Painter,
in a very beautiful representation of the scene here described,
which was in the late Exhibition of the Royal Academy.

MONTHLY REPORT FOR JUNE.

The cold- dry, weather in the former part or this
month has proved injurious not only to the Wheats,
but to the Oats, Barleys, and event the pulse crops,
on the wet and clay lands, in almost every corn dis,
irk* of the island. The Rye crops have suffered
lunch by the seve,ity of the winds, so prevalent on
feeir coming into bloom.—The Barleys in Kent
haVe been subjed to the same fly that is found so
prejudicial to Turnips, and been materially injured
by the insect visitation, seldom if ever known before
in that species of Corn. In Essex the crops were
never found More generally detedtive. Norfolk had
ilitici4t the exclusive advantage of fine rains about
the nitddie of the month, which have improved the
Barleys; so as to promise a large produce.—The re-
cent importatioes of Wheat and Flour from Ame-
rica may be considered as a very fortunate supply,
under the general appearance of the Corn crops of
Great Britain.-The pasta : lands are very short of
Grass, except in old rich ineadows, where the crops
are large ; Clover of both sorts, and Trefoil, are like-
wise abundant. tiotatoes bid fair for a general good
crop. The forward TurnipS have been much taken
off by the fly in mobt-Cotinties where Mr. PAUL'S
simple instrument for ?,Weeping them off the land
into a bosom of canvas annexed to a slight frame, has
not been applied : the AgriCnitural Interest is highly
indebted to Mr. CoKE, for his trenuons recommen-
dation of this most useful instrument in Norfolk, by
which he can effectually. secure own extensive
Turnip crops at f-lolkbam, for the• trifling expence
of sixpence per acre.--,-The Hop Grotnids continue
foul and unpromising, except where sdine partial
heavy rains have cleansed them. The WhCat bar'.
Vest, from the general shortness of the straw, is eic-
peded to be au early'one. Since the setting iri of
the warm weather, the Meat Matkets have fallen
'considerably in all articles. But little has been done
in Lon Stock in the course of the month, but both
Beasts 'and Sheep are somewhat lower.--A brisk
-dmatid cothirmes for Wool of all kinds, but par-
tici:la-Hy for 'short fleeces : the flock masters re-.
Ore as. 3d. a ito-tred for South-down wool at the
shears, and sotne Considerable graziers have obtained
that price.
