FORD, AND SALOP:- .1

'7 :lE44', at:

The season continues. e'x Cretnely mild, rind th6'
pastures retain an almost spring verdure, the natural coirs-e
quence is, that the Wheat is making so rapid a progress thatc
the sheep are generally driven upon them fora few days, in
order' to retard the progress, an male the plants tiliow or
spread. The open weather has been very favo..irable to. the' tt.
cleansing the ditches and. cleaning the grouud, fur the ploughi
has not been kept out of employMent by a single daK3s frost;
and the season-being dry, the land has been iii a pr4Per'State to '
receive the manure, which in.many cases haS been .mes; libe-
rally supplied. The farmers at length seem to know, that un-
less the land is well fed and attended to they must not expect
to receive a proper or adequate return. The pracitke of losing
a season by fallowing seems wearing out very fast, and the
sooner it is totally done with the better, both for the land and ;;,
the farmer.The-wintec Vetches look very promising, but its
some foul grounds the hardy weeds snake strong head against "7
them...--Carrot and Parsnip sowing has commenced in,;;,,•me,,Lg
parts, but not generally ; they are a plant not much afFectLei
ftost. and this early planting almost insures a heavy -crop.—;;
Good Barley maintains its price, as great quantities Of this
grain were damaged by the haste in which it was co/lectetl4-v,i
brain of all description is very plentiful, and the salestneit,,,
having a supply on hand, are unwilling to 'let the groivershre
in the present advance of prices. All, articles of agriculturaria
.se are in request, and the general appearances arc favourable
uo those concernedin cultivation..

THE MARKETS.

'CORN: EXCHANGE, MAncir,l'.'
The =rivals of all descriptions of Grain lasi week were only
moderate, but of Flour it vas large. This Morning there was
only a inothirate supply of 'Wheat aTIcl Oats at market, but.
tolerably good quantities of Barley, Peas, and Beans. Prim& •
Wheat has met a free • sale at 2s. per. quarter advance on the
terms of Monday last; other qualities haVe not been taken off
freely, owing to the dullness of the Flour trade. Barley fully'
supports the terms of ,-this day senniglit, ;--Beans have imt
with a few buyers at nearly the same prices .as, last quoted. .
White Peas and Grey Peas are rather cheape7, but they are
nearly all sold. There has been a fair demand for Oats to-day„
and the best parcels have rather exceeded last Monday's quota-
tions. Rape-seed is 11. to 21. per last lower.

'l'here was literally- a scramble for Whole
Tickets-at-all the Lottery Offices; Two Days before the Draw..
ing commenced, and the consequence is, a Whole Ticket can-
not now be obtained for Love or Money.. Mr. SIEVEWRIGII
bowever, has arranged, that whoever wants a Ticket may haves
rwo Halves at the sarrie Price—the Contractor making good to
the Office-keepers the difference in amount. This alternative 1
the Purchasers seem very smell reconciled to ; and as there are
.still FIVE 1'29-,000. Prizes (Two Of Ihczn for the 17th of
MARCH), it is very possible for Two Halves to 'gain TWO dif-
ferent Prizes of £20,000: whoeVei gets only. One of them;
would be very likely to console themselves with the recollectica
that "Haifa Loaf is better than no Bread."

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Papers, March 1.

[NEW TIMES]

The favourable termination of the Account
appears to have given animation to the money
market, the greatest hustle having prevailed dur-
ing the whole of Saturday. The chief specu-
lators continue confident in their renewed antici-
pations of a further advance in all moneyed
Securities. Consols closed on Saturday at 934
far the April Account, being an advance of one
and a half per cent. since Tuesday last, on which
day we noticed every exertion having been used
to' produce a temporary depression, which was
attended with soma success. On Saturday,
however, the parties used less disguise, and
purchased very largely for the account ; and the
consequent rise has astonished almost every one,
as much from its rapidity as its extent. The Old
Four per Cents. remain at 10244, and the New
1071. Exchequer Bills are again lower, as the
public prefer making a temporary purchase of
Stock with the probability of•a profit, to buying
these Bills at the late heavy premiums ; they are
now 38s. to 41s. premium. Money continues
also scarce, which tends to lessen the premiums.
The business done in the Foreign Stock Market
equalled on Saturday any day during the time
the mania for speculation in these Securities was
at its height, and previously to its receiving a sa-
lutary check by that decline in Spanish Bonds,
which will long be engrave!' on the memories of
many hundreds. Notwithstanding the fervour
of successful speculation there are still moments
when a symptom of returning sense exhibits it-
self, and individuals are heard to exclaim to
their friends, " Where will this end ?" Even
tisose who have made their fortunes in these
species of speculation predict the fatal result
which must ultimately attend such investments,
where the security for the capital is entirely lost
sight of in viewing an exorbitant interest, hit the
continuance of the payment of which is as uncer-
tain as the return of the principal.
