1110ATHLY AGRICVI,TUIIAL REPORT.

The wetness and charigeab:eness of the weather
have occasioned a catching and difficult seed sea-
son, which will. pn,bably be two or three week's
later in most pails this spring than usual. The
late drought wai.too quickly followed by wet and
otherwise • unfavourable weather. Nothing yet
sown but beans, peas;and a few black or early oats,
of which little is said, from, their not being forward,
in growth. Wheat in general looks well, excepting
where it is too forward in the glass, and upon cold
wet soils, where much of the plant has, perished, -
from the too gel-4 Moisture of the winter season.
Accounts, (rout various quartets, of a disapproba-
tion of spring wheat ; in same few, of a breadth
of wheat unusually large. .Broad cast wheat ex-
tremely foul and weedy, where the land has been
at all negleaed. The spring cattle crops continue ,
to improve. '
- Turnips, upon the whole, have held out well, and
hay has been in great plenty ; straw short in quan-
tity. It has been an unthrifty season for all out--
door stock, and the rot in sheep have prevailed,,more
or less, throughout ; the lambing, • -in course; has
Clot been attended with the usual success. S ore
cattle rather scarce and dearer, preference generally
.given to the Scotch. Fat stock dearer. Store pigs
declining in price, from the advancing price of corn.
Cows beyond all former price.. From the vast
price's demanded for.good cart horses, the custom
of substituting bullocks is gaining ground,in martyr
parts. The wool, trade continues as before, except.
ing some additional briskness -in the demand lot:
fine fleeces.

On Sunday evening George Smith and Flannagan,
two persons who were in confinement, charged wi4l
uttering forged bank-notes, made a temporary es-
cape from Clerkenwell New Prison, by means of
forcing their way through the cieling of what is
termed the guinea room, where they were confined.
They by that means got on the top of the prison,
and Smith jumped from thence on a tree with
irons on. The turnkeys were on the'alert, and se-
cured them both, and lodged them in sate custody.
