AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR NOVEMBER.

The old hackneyed saying:" the gloomy month of No-
vember," has for the present one lost all claim to that deno-
mination ; we, therefore, shall begin with terming it the
delightful, fine, and mild month, which has not been alto-
gether unseasonable for wheat tillage ; a considerable por-
tion was completed in the early part of the month on the
soils of moderate fertility, and on the uplands where the
seed was not sown last month. But on the strong, warmer,
and binding soils, the work has been much impeded for the
want of rain, which was but scantily supplied until the last
week or ten days, since which great progress has been made
on the rich and lumpy soils ; these soils, without a few
occasional showers, great labour is required with drag and
roller, as well as extra ploughing—which ploughing should
be followed immediately with seed and harrow, or the
ploughing would be labour in vain. Many wheat-growers
are too fearful of sowing their wheat too early ; this we
hinted in our last report, and the continuation of dry
weather up to the middle of the month, amply proves the
correctness of the remarks therein made on that sub-
ject, thus showing that delays are dangerous, as every
day increases both labour and difficulty, therefore per-
severance is the best mode to pursue, as the season
is passing away. Every day gets shorter ; the heavy
drenching rains might be daily looked for ; frost and snow
may shortly follow, with cutting winds, which must prove in-
jurious to the young and tender plant just peeping out of its
icy bed ; whereas if the labour had been followed up in
October, the seed would have gone into the ground in a
dry and wholesome condition. In many instances the soil
has been in the most desirable state to receive the seed,
but, as we have before stated, as the farmer thinks the season
not being sufficiently advanced, and the want of rain, they
wait and wait until those contumacious soils are become so
dry and hard that it is almost out of the power of the
plough, with its minor implements, to perform their requisite
uses ; the consequences are, the season for this work of
husbandry is far gone by, the earth soon becomes soddened
with wet, and instead of being in that freed,state as it was
found in the preceeding month, is, at the end of November,
in danger of being like so much mud and mortar, which
state possibly may not be recovered the whole winter ;
then you may expect a useless crop of grass and thistles,
and not what has been laboured for, a luxuriant piece of
the staff of life.

The early sown wheats are looking strong and healthy,
;he latter sowings are also looking well, thanks to the ex-
,raordinary favourableness of the weather.

The yielding of barley is various, according to the
variableness of the soils and situation ; the malting samples
are considered better than was expected. Oats in some
districts arc called inferior, but high in prices for the quality.
Vetches or tares are looking strong and well where the
soil is good.
The weather has been most favourable for the housing of
turnips for the winter, and extra workmen have been em-
ployed by those who practise that commendable work ; the
practice is good, and the lands are sown with little labour
and expense to wheat ; and by good management no harm
can arise by such a mode, but many landlords are opposed
to the plan, but let its usefulness in a hard winter be the
judge. The practice is much followed in the West of
England.
The summer through has been an excellent one for
cleaning the various soils of weeds and troublesome grasses,
which all arable lands are subject to ; but we fear this ne-
cessary labour has been much neglected by a large portion
of the needy for the want of the needful to defray the ex-
penses of that extra work, therefore, this with many other
improvements are left undone, to the prejudice to all
who are depending upon their arable productions, and
the want of employment of many hundreds of agricul-
tural labourers ; it is quite distressing to see and hear
of such numbers of this class of society perambulating
the roads in idleness ; therefore, can it be wondered that the
spirit of incendiarism prevails to such an alarming extent ?
If the land-owners would turn a favourable ear to this great
object in rent and tithes, to the benefit of the agriculturists,
and enable him to call on the half-starved but willing la-
bourer to work for the means of satisfying the calls of his
distrissed family, the word incendiarism would be erased
from our memory.

Many of the markets in the counties have been well sup-
plied with wheat ; but, the millers have generally deter-
mined to lower the price of sour to 425., the sale, in conse-
quence, is but dull, at a decline of Is. on the best, and more
on the ordinary descriptions. Barley rather steady ; if
any thing, a little lower. Beans are lower Peas remain

steady. Oats—a large quantity has been received from
Scotland, and the trade dull.

At the annual sheep fair at Andover 8,000 were penned,
dealers numerous, and the greater part were sold at an ad-
vance of 2s. a head upon the price obtained at the late
Appleshaw fair. Pigs are low. Wool has had a quick
sale, but little advance in price.
Nearly 19,000 quarters of various descriptions of foreign
grain have arrived in the London port ; and the quantity of
grain remaining in bond is reported at 1,199,712 quarters.
Flop duty 172,0001.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

CHARGE OF FORGERY.—A young man of very respect.
able appearance, named Benjamin Neck, was brought be-
fore the LORD MAYOR in the custody of John Forrester,
jun., upon a charge of forgery. Mr. Bush, the solicitor to
the Committee of Bankers for the prevention of forgery and
fraud, attended for the prosecution, and stated the facts of
the case as they were afterwards given in evidence. The
forgery it appears was not discovered until two or three
days after it had succeeded.

Mr. Richard Bcscoby, one of the clerks at Messrs. Bar-
nett and Hoare's banking-house, stated that a person who
put the name of " Joseph Boyd" on the back of the bill
as a receipt applied for the amount of a draft, which ap-
peared as if it had been signed by the Baroness Rehausen for
the sum of 54/. The following is a copy of the check :
" Stockholm (date not legible).
" Seventy-five days after date pay to the order of Mr.
Thomas Perry the sum of 54/. " H. L. REHA USES.
" Accepted, Oxenford and Alcock, London.
Payable at Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Co.'s, London."
On the back were the names of Thomas Perry and Jo-
seph Boyd. _ _ _

Witness paid the money in sovereigns to Mr. Boyd, who
put his address upon the draft. Upon finding that the draft
was a forgery he went to the house of Mr. Boyd, who was
not at home when he called. He, however, saw Mr. Boyd's
wife, who said that her husband had received the note from
the prisoner for the purpose of having it cashed, with the
direction to put the name of Perry or Perrin upon it. Mr.
Boyd, however, had very properly put his own name upon
it, and it was therefore easily traced.
Mr. William Oxenford, of the house of Oxenford and
Alcock, No. 27, Great Winchester-street, deposed that he
knew the prisoner, who had been a clerk to the firm. The
prisoner, who had left his employment about three years
ago, was intimately acquainted with the business of the
house, and had frequently seen witness's acceptances. The
acceptance was not in the handwriting of witness or of his
partner, or of any person authorized by him to accept in
the name of the firm. The Baroness Rehausen was not
at Stockholm at the time the draft was drawn. The house
of Oxenford and Alcock received the Baroness's dividends ;
she had never drawn upon them, but ordered her bankers
to do so.

The LORD MAYOR—Did the prisoner know that the Ba.
roness had dealings with your house? Mr. Oxcnford—
Perfectly well.

John Forrester apprehended the prisoner in his house on
the River Bank, in Croydon, near that of Mr. Boyd.
Mr. Bush stated that Mr. Boyd was from home when in-
quiry was made for him, but would no doubt attend on the
next examination.

The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, have you anything to say
why you should not be remanded till Tuesday next ? Pri-
soner—Nothing whatever.

Remanded till Tuesday.

GUILDHALL.
COMPLAINT AGAINST THE OPERATION OF THE POOR
ACT.—Elizabeth Land complained against the parish of
St. Bride, Fleet-street, for stopping an allowance of 2s. 6d.
per week for the maintenance of an illegitimate child, now
three years old, the parish holding a Magistrate's order on
the father for the payment of that sum, and the father being
well able to pay.

Mr. Carylll; the assistant overseer, said the trustees or
parochial board had, under the new Poor Law, adopted a
resolution not to relieve any illegitimate child out of the
Poor-house. The complainant had been duly informed
that her allowance would be stopped, and that she might,
if she pleased, send her child up to the workhouse, where
it would be taken proper care of ; but she had travelled up
from Suffolk without the child, in the hope that she should
get the pension renewed. The trustees, however, would
enforce the rule, and he could only offer to take the young
woman into the workhouse as well as her child.
Mr. Alderman KELLY said such a-course was mischie-
vous to the parishioners. The child itself could not be
brought up at the weekly charge paid to the mother ; and
what should be said when the maintenance of the mother as
well as the child was incurred in preference to paying 2s. 6d.
a week? Mr. Carvill ought to look to the cheapness of
the latter course, especially as there was no imputation on
the young woman's conduct, and she appeared capable of
training up her child properly. He might have added that
the resolution of the trustees was obviously impolitic in
another view ; that workhouse children grew up inveterate
paupers and begetters of a race of paupers.
Mr. Carvill said he could no nothing contrary to the rule,
that no other relief than maintenance in the poor-house
should be afforded to any bastard child.
The Clerk said if he had no power to deviate from the rule
he was not a fit person to attend upon the magistrates. The
trustees ought to come themselves and not shelter them-
selves behind walls.

The mother said, she did not wish to be immured in a
workhouse, and she would suffer anything rather than part
with her child. VVby could not the overseers make the
father pay?

Mr. Alderman KELLY recommended the overseer to
state his opinions to the trustees, hoping that they would
alter their resolution.

Mr. Carvill offered the mother an asylum in the work.
louse till next Board-day.

UNION HALL.
Jeremiah Mahony was charged by the parish officers of
Bermondsey with refusing to maintain his wife.
The defendant said the marriage by compulsion, and
therefore she had no claim upon him. " You know," said
he to his wife, " that we were married by an excommuni-
cated priest ; and you know what happened in• Cork gaol."
The wife said that she did know that ; and proceeded to
tell the Magistrate that Mahony had committed a felo-
nious assault upon her in Ireland, that he was taken into
custody for the offence, and that she got him off by consent-
ing to marry him.

Defendant—l don't deny it ; and I married you to save
my neck. The priest, though, that married us, as it was
afterwards proved, had a wife and children himself, and you
know that the ceremony was not lawful. The defendant
complained that on one occasion she left him for upwards
of twelve months.

The Magistrates said they should leave the case in the
hands of the parochial authorities.

SKETCHES OF THE CORTES.

CHAMBER OF PROCURADORES.
EL CONDE DE TORENO.
Imagine a short thick man, with a bead like a young
bull, a determined ferocious eye, an awkward carriage, a
repulsive manner, and you have the outward signs of the
Minister of Finance. Add to those, quick mental vision,
great determination, perfect intelligence, and a sound un-
derstanding, you_have the inward characteristics. Toreno
is an able man, perhaps one of the most able in Spain, al-
ways seeing his way clearly before him, never deceiving
himself as to the means in the end. Confident in his own
resources, and careless of public opinion, he is just the per-
son to take a lead and to hold it, if the world believed him
to be sincere ; but all the moral pre-eminence to which Mar-
tinez has attained, and which is the secret of his power,
Toreno is deficient in, and therefore do what he may, his
ath will be one of doubt, and his position uncertain. He
has not been fortunate in his private affairs, and there was
something in the management of the debt due to the house
of Hope of Amsterdam, which has left a sinister influence
on him since 1823 ; and some trafficking in the silver coin-
age of that period has also preserved an unfortunate recol-
lection. His circumstances in France further led to some
evasive conduct, and it cannot be denied, whether these ac-
cusations be well or ill founded, that there is a prejudice
against him, and he, of all other men, requires to be pure,
for suspicion is ever alive, and any unfortunate financial event,
however accidental, will be attributed to his creation for his
own proper purposes. He is a man of business, and the usual
procrastination of the Spanish character is not to be found
in him, except when he does not wish to pay his debts, as
Mr. Rothschild has lately found out. There he can say,
" Manana," as fluently as any other Minister. He is not
as eloquent as Martinez de la Rosa, but he is a much bet-
ter business speaker, and if both were to be transplated to
the House of Commons, he would create a name while the
other would lose it. He has a hard serious manner—goes
directly at his object—and seems to hammer it into the
Chamber. He laughs at opposition—sneers at declamation
—and grounds himself on his will and the public convenience.
He is the reverse of elegant in manner, and appears to shun
the graces as a pest : but he has a full measure of good
words to express the abundance of his ideas, and though he
never rises to sublimity, he often produces fine impassioned
bursts, which deserve and obtain applause. In general he
sits wi'h eye cast down, in a sulky John Bull sort of hu-
mour ; but when anything touches his spirit, he is up like
light, and seems disposed to annihilate in a rage, or to blast
by a sneer the unhappy object of his anger. After rising
to speak, he rests with both hands on his desk, keeps his
eyes half-closed, and then lets fall a few sentences of no im-
port ; but he soon becomes eager, drives without order into
the midst of the subject, cuts and slashes about him, spares
neither friend nor foes and almost dares the Estamento to

' vote against him. He is a strange compound of eunp;
and obstinacy. Before he joined this Administrationwas the beau ideal of Radicalism, and the movement.P:P)
were almost in tears, because they could not contrivelhi,
squeeze him in. The moment he was installed he desert,.
roe
partisans, and, like Martinez, opposed by his votes all f° Li.
promises and professions. Still, his influence among thei.:ol
bends is great, and the very men who are now opposed t°4.
in the Chamber, will, if they can, upset the present Adlsol,
tration, and place him at the head of that which is to sn
Ine most violent democrat looks to Toreno as his ez;i

leader. Such is the strange influence of hiss im'
racier, no man will trust him, yet all combine to ,P(111
phcit faith in him. His ambition is restless, and °""
he must be at the head of affairs. I ncad not touchfif
late financial projects—they have revealed the mann,aill
pared to rob, he has the audacity to ask for money de
to sacrifice the English and the French creditor, be )der,
to the remonstrances of both ; he ends .by a partial P', thiace
and an evasive justice. It is said that all his Plans nilf
been founded on motives of private interest, and str!terr
must suspicion attach to a Finance Minister, whose linire
bons are communicated to friends some weeks in ado of
of their public disclosure. He has destroyed the ere or
Spain. A man of his intellect must have foreseen the tbe
sequences of his measures. Therefore, as be Ca'3l,°„%est
called a simpleton, he must be classed amongst'
men. Toreno was one of the Deputies from the Astors
