MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

TIIE. seasonable rains which have fa!lPn during
the course of the -present month have very much
imprbred the growth of the Winter and Sping cop
the
the Wheat crops utiversally look .w4ll and improve,
much.

Niue and Beans are in the most tionrishing‘state,
and. blossom ; the Grass Seeds sown this Sprisrg
have taken. good root, and.are very promising.
The Clovers, Which are noNt mowing, or ready
for the scythe, will prove an abundant crop, the
swaith being- long and heavy. The 'Meadows lo
warm situations *ill be,
,although nut so .early,
equally produaive.
Winter Tares have yielded anzbendance of excel-1
lent keep for sheep and horses. The judicious prac-
tice of penning sheep on tares, and feeding cart horses
in yards, has now become nearly general in the Mid-
land Counties, and is attended with the most bene•
facial effects in enriching lands
.and raising manure.
Fruit-trees in, exposed situations have been much
injured by the long coiitiimance• of north-easterly
winds ;- and in such aspeas blights have been very
prevalent.
•
The Potatoe Crops begin to grow, and recover froth
the check. given them by the late cold weather.
Great part of the turnip follows have been sown
in the best condition ; and we notice a large propor-
tion of the Swedish kind,.for lato.winter keep.
The present growing season has beenfavourable
to the business of the. Dairy, and has increased the
demand for Milking. Cows and small Stoke Pigs,'
which still maintain good priees : the larger sort .of
Swine are dull of sale.

Lean Stock, from the recent improvement- of the
pastures, is much in request at the late Fairs, and ob-
tains good prices: Feeding Stock do well.
Store Sheep are in abundance, and much cheaper.
Wool in the fleece has a brisk .sale, and obtains
pricea somewhat higher than last year.
The price of Wheat has gradually 'declined in the
London market; at the beginning of the month Eng-
lish Wheat was from 645. to 945. per quarter, and at
the close the highest price was 885. 'Oats liave varied
from 295. to 363. Beans have been supplied in
small quaiitities, and have been bought freely at a
small advance : they are at present at 48s. Barley
and Malt have experienced a (ball sale during this
month ; and the prices have declined full 3s. per
quarter; Barley varying from 40s. to 375. per. var.;
ter. Fine Flour 80s. 78s. 755., per sack.

per stone; "Mutton 4s. to 53. Bd. ; Veal ss. to 6s. Bd.;
Pork 4s. 4d. ; and Lamb 6s. to Os. 6d.

to 21. 15s. In Smithfield, from at. 10:;. t 0 31.; and

0 cn BAILEY.—On Sanyirday an Mruiralty Session
held before Sir W. SCOTT, Mr. Justice Room,
and 13.1r0n Surrox.

Architald Macdonald and James Cowan, two sea-
men wreck.ed on the Dutch Coast, in Ibis Majesty's
ship- Romney, and afterwards trikeia on board a
Dutch Privateer, were put to the bar, on the charge
elf aiding His Majesty's Enemies. Their defence
was, that they had made their escape froM a Dutch
prison, and were informed that the vessel in which
they embarked was a Prusfian, bound for Madeira.
The Jury 'gave credit to their defence, and, after re-
tiring some time, gave a verdi& of acquittal.
Ballric Power was indieted for a similar offence,
having been dete&ed on board the Villerdis Dutch
Privateer. He Via also acquitted, and the Session
ended.

A melancholy instance of depravity occurred at
Winchester on Friday morning :—the only son of Mr.
Dear, h Hyde-street, a boy about ten ,ears of age,
after receiving admonitory correction tram his mo-
ther, on his not goin!, to school, under the influence
of his pashion, it is tl;ought, went and hung himself
in an out-house,
,where he was fotmd a corpse !
