was charged with his indidment on the motion of
Mr.. JARViS.,
The Prisoßy,r at first said that lie had the goods
as stated in the IndiaMem., but before the plea

turned towards the Bar, and Mr..MARYAT'i and , 7
Mr. KNAPP kindly advised him to plead not guilty,

MONTHLY AGRICLI ETUliile N. EPORT.,

THE, severity of the frost has:pre4ented most of
the operations of husbandry frott Ang carried .I.)n
during the greatest part of eheYelas triow Ir. :
Hedging, with .the breaking UP of ',.,,Vras and clOiier
lays for oat and barley crops, have, However, 'wire
undertaken ,toward the latter PartYof it. Much
grain has also been. threshed out aid conveyed to
the markets, as well as. manure .ol* various kinds
put .upon the ground. The prices argrain, espe-
cially barley and oats, have dedlined in 'most
places since our last. The averagetprice of .corn
throughout England and Wales, bk the last re-
turns is, for wheat 763. 9th rye Ps. gd. *barley..
445. rd. oats z3s. 4d. beans 435. 4d. pease 44,9'.,.7d.
From the great quantity of. snow.that has fallen
in many of the Northern Distrift the turnips in
several places have been so covered sp, as to prev'ent
the necessary supplies from being procured for the
stock, without much labour. The same cause has
likewise been very distressing to the store sheep
stock in the more exposed situations ; and to the
lamb-suckling ewes in those places where the pra6ice
is employed. -
Hops have continued of doll sale for some time,
and it is probable may continue so, since it is
understood that .the duty amounts to 241,2271. Is.
s,td. and consequently much. exceeds the 'wishes
of those speculators who have lately done so
much .mischief. Although the price is not very
high, yet the quan:ity puts it out of their power
either to monopolize, or persuade the Planters not
to supply the market, as was done in 1799 and
1800,- those years that will ever be remembered
by private as well as public Brewers, who, by the
machinations of certain individuals (now Weil known
in our Courts of Law), were compelled to pay 16
a 18 a 201. per-,cwt. for Hops, which might have
been sold for half the price. Only last year the
monopolizers demanded m 6 or 171. for Hcps, which
they have since been glad to bell from 70 CO Sos.
and they have still enough upon their hands to re-
mind the:, of their unjust condua.
Store hogs have been sold remarkably dear it
many places, especially near the capital ; and both
lean and fat cattle are still high.

MANstoN-Hou-sE.—Saturday a boy of the name
of Nathaniel Ellis, and apparently not more than
eleven years of age, was brought before Mr. Al-
derman IVIACAU,LEY‘ for stealing out of a brazier's
shop a pair of new straits, a pair of candlesticks,
and 'several other-articles, all which be had pledged
with a pawnbroker in the neighbourhood of Lon-
don-Wall. He began crying, confessed the robbery,
and said he had been about a year i:t the habit of
thieving, that he had been enticed to do so by some
boys older than himself, who were in company with
him when he stole the articles in question; he said
their pradice was to cut a hole in the panes of shop..
windows, large enough to admit their arms, and,
then they drew out whatever property was within
their reach. He gave, a direaion where his com-
panions were to be found, and the Magistrate is-
sued a warrant to apprehend them, and ordered the
prisoner into custody till Monday The pawn-
broker was severely reprimanded for taking dledges
of such a child.

A baker was summoned for selling a quantity of
bread short of weight. The bread was seized in
the shop of a chandler by the Inquest ; the chandler
said he had it from this baker, but he did not come
forward to prove this fa t. The Magistrate, for
the present, dismissed the defendant, but said he
should take measures to compel the chanaler to give
evidence against him.

the Bank of England ; they were committed to
