MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL RRPOIZT•—The past
has been one of the mildest winters within me-
mory, and particularly so in the north and in
Scotland, where vegetation in January and Fe-
bruary assumed the florid and blooming appear-
ance of April and May. The improvement in
prices has infused much life and spirit into the
farming interest, and advantage has been uni-
♦ersally taken of the favourable state of the
weather, in the two first months, to for-
ward the usual agricultural operations.—On
the best soils, bean and pea setting (tile drill
and dibble becoming annually more general)
were successfully finished within the last month.
The same of spring-wheat, Talavera or Spanish
being the species most in use. The lambing
season may be called universally successful. Not
so the winter feeding of those who have kept
their sheep on wet poachy lands, upon running,
spongy, and rotten turnips. In Norfolk, that
most profitable practice of storing turnips has
prevailed much and commendably of late.

ROYAL FREEMASONS' CHARITY FOR FEMALE'
CHILDREN AND ORPHANS, &C.
The Anniversary of this admirable Institution, formed f(?1-
the purpose of maintaining, clothing, and educating the femo.l°
children and orphans of indigent Freemasons, and of protect:
ing them from the dangers and misfortunes to which distressea
young females are too frequently exposed, was celebrated lelfr
terday at the Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street.
Shortly after five o'clock that splendid saloon was crowded
principally by members of the Society ; but his Royal High'
ness the Duke of SUSSEX, who had signified his intention 0
presiding on the occasion, did not enter the Hall till six. His
Royal highness was received with the most animated mar"
of respect and public affection. He was introduced into the
room by Col. TYNE, Provincial Grand Master of the County
of Somerset, and a number of the Stewards and other Gentle-
men. On taking the Chair,
The Duke of SUSSEX said that he was extremely sorry at
having delayed the numerous Gentlemen whom he had the
pleasure to address. He hoped they would give him credit
when he assured them that no private business of his own bad
detained him; he was not well, and his time from eight o'clock
in the morning, till the moment he had set out to meet them,
had, with very little intermission, been occupied.—(Applause')
—He hoped the company would kindly receive that excuse.--
(Cheers.)
After the cloth was removed " Non nobis Domirie," tre6
sung in very fine style by the professional gentlemen who fa-
voured the company with their attendance on this occasion.
His ROYAL HIGHNESS rose, and proposed the health °'
" His Majesty the King," with this., times three. The health
of hls Majesty was drank in the most enthusiastic manner.---
The other national toasts were then proposed, and disposed of,
as usual.
Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS, M.P. rose, and proposed the
health of " The Royal Chairman." The presence of that
lustrious person necessarily prevented him from paying that
tribute to his virtues which, if he followed the inclination 0'
his own feelings, he would certainly pay. His Royal High'
ness, as a Member of the Royal Family, added lustre even
to his exalted station. As a subject, as an Englishman, be
was an object of respect to every person who was at All
acquainted with his virtues—he was the friend of liberty,
the friend, the patron, the advocate of charity (Applause.)
—There was not a mar, who heard him that could nut
bear evidence to the fact, that in whatever place the
name of His Royal Highness was mentioned, it was re-
ceived with that degree of respect which Englishmen always
paid to those, who, like his Royal Highness, pursued a
straight and honourable path in public and private life.. .13
private life his Royal Highness was the advocate of charitfs
the friend, the supporter of the poor, the aged, the fatherless---.,
in public, his was a course which might expose his Royal
Highness to the opposition of some persons. But every honest
man would do justice to his motives. The honourable and in-
dependent course which he pursued, claimed and received the
applause, the unaffected respect and veneration of every true
Englishman.—(Great applause.)

His Royal. HroftNEss rose to return thanks, hut was
prevented for some minutes from proceeding, in consequence
of the cheers with which he was greeted. His Royal High"
ness, after alluding to the cause of his not having made his ap-
pearance at an early hour, requested leave to return his thanite
to the company for the manner in which they had received his
health. He felt great pleasure in presiding at a Meeting which
had for its object the cause of charity—the cause of the orphan
and the friendless. The Society of Freemasons made no invi-
dious distinctions—every man of good moral conduct was in'
titled to be admitted amongst them—they cherished no other
object than that of public benevolence, and of active charity
(Applause).—They formed a bond of union—a tie of affection---
there was no jealousy—no bitter feelings of any sort created
or cherished by them. His Royal Highness proceeded to en-
large on the objects of the Female Charity, and concluded bY
returning thanks to the company. His Royal Highness sat
down amid the cheers of the company.
The Children of the Charity were next introduced by the
principal Members. A more interesting or affecting scene We
have seldom witnessed. Those friendless orphans—left at a
helpless age upon the charity of the world, and preserved from
poverty and misfortune by the fostering care of this invaluable
Society—exhibited an appearance not less remarkable fur per-
sonal beauty, than for the modest, amiable manners, which be.
speak a high degree of moral cultivation. On reaching the
head of the room, they were placed immediately round the.
Ckair. Some of the Girls of the First Class were taken urto
the Music Gallery, and sang, with very great effect, the fol-
lowing Hymn, written for the occasion by J. G. Gascoigoes
Esq.:—
" Father ! thy Love is as a Star,
Stedfast in tempests of distress;
Through clouded sorrow from afar
It beams to hallow and to bless !
Thy Love, oh Gracious God, is shed,
In comfort o'er the righteous heart!
May all our infant steps be led
Through purest paths, to where thou art.
" We, by thy goodness, hous'd from sin,
From want, from trouble, bend before
Thine azure throne, and from within,
Confess thy mercies, and adore !
But when the dreaded world we roam,
And have lost such fostering care,
Still grant, Oh Ifeav'n ! a sacred home,
Where thou wilt hear tile Orphan's prayer.
" And, gracious Father, watch o'er those,
Who shield us, for :heir love to thee!
Hallow with peace each heart where glows
Such pure, such fervent Charity !
Oh God ! accept our infant notes,
Which flow in grateful praise to thee;
Each blessing we receive denotes,
• Thou art, Oh God! and e'er shall be !
" HALLELUJAH! AMEX !"
His ROYAL HrortNEss, on proposing " The Freemasons
Female Charity," observed, that these destitute females were
objects of the dearest, the tenderest care. The Society looked
upon them as their own children ; they had the same anxiety'
for their happiness. They did not for a moment despair of the
success of the Institution; it was founded upon the broad basis
of charity—charity exerted on behalf of the most destitute and
the most interesting of human beings—a young, forlorn,
female orphan. There was no woman, who was a mother, to
whom it was necessary to appeal on their behalf; there was no
man, with the proper feelings of a man about him, who' would
