AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

The past week opened with a fine day, sunny and
cloudy at intervals, wind N.W. Monday morning
was thick, but it held up, and there was no rain
until 9 p.m. ; wind round to the S.W. ; thermome-
ter 43 degrees ; barometer 30.5 inches. A fair por-
tion of fieldwork was proceeded with, the seed going
into the ground well on all but the very heavy soils.
Tuesday was a fine morning, but a heavy spring
shower was experienced at 11 a.m., when it took up
and was fine all the remainder of the day, with a
brisk wind at W.S.W. ; thermometer 51 deg. ;
barometer 30.10 inches. This improvement in the
temperature will be serviceable, although the usual
March winds would have proved more generally ac-
ceptable. Our advices on that day from Northum-
berland stated that " the weather had continued fine
to the close of the past week, with the wind from
the N.E. Since then it has been damp, the wind
varying from the SE. to the S.W." From Suffolk
it was remarked, " Barley sowing has been going
on satisfactorily, but has come to a check, owing to
wet weather. Thus far the seed has been deposited
in good order." Wednesday was warm and spring
like ; wind W.S.W. ; thermometer up to 58 deg. at
mid-day, but the barometer down to 29.15 inches.
Our advices from the east coast of Scotland stated,
" Weather very mild, .and this afternoon wet."
Another account says, "We have had a complete
change in the weather during the past week, the
temperature being now mild and spring-like."
Thursday was a fine and cheerful day, warm and
spring-like ; wind W. ; thermometer 52 deg., baro-
meter 30.05 inches. From Suffolk our advices
stated, " The weather has varied, and during the
last few days has been mild and spring-like; sow-

rally early sowing of spring grain proves most
beneficial. Wheat is looking very healthy ; the
growth of the plant has been much kept backby the
weather, -which Ido not think unfavourable." From
Warwickshire it was remarked : " Weather con-
tinued cold and stormy up to the close of last week,
but we have since had the temperature many de-
grees milder, and farmers will now be enabled to
proceed more rapidly with spring sowing." Friday
was the finest day of all the month, sunny and
warm, and had it been a working day spring til-
lage would have progressed extensively ; but, being
Good Friday, the labourers had a holiday, and a
cessation from this work. Our advices from Lin-
colnshire stated :—" We have now fine growing
weather, but the low lands and heavy soils are not
sufficiently dry for sowing at present. Turnips are
nearly finished, so that the bulk of the barley will
be put up in the ground at a seasonable time, for
sometimes when turnips are plentiful seed time is
delayed too long. Wheat looks almost without ex-
ception well and thick enough. The cattle plague
is dreadful about here ; a friend of mine has buried
seventy beasts." From the East Riding of York-
shire on the same day it was stated :—,‘ The wea-
ther has become warmer during the last day or two,
and out-door work is progressing satisfactorily."
A thorough change took place on Saturday morn-
ing, the wind having got round to the north-east.
Rain set in, and much fell during the day, which
was the more unfortunate, as the previous beautiful
day had dried the land a good deal, and had it con-
tinued fine a great breadth of land would have
t
been finished. Still on the whole, during the past
week a fair extent of ground had beeni‘i rpelha planted d i

LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 3, 1866.

It is always
very satisfactory when a grand
undertaking like that of yesterday succeeds, and
when no untoward event takes place. The Volun-
teer Review at Brighton on Easter Monday has
lately become an established thing, but additional
importance and interest have been imparted to it on
this occasion by the visit of the PRINCE and PRIN-
CESS OF WALES. Their royal highnesses since their
marriage have been about so much that it will sur-
prise many to hear that this was their first visit to
Brighton which they paid yesterday. Indeed
the PRINCESS had never been there at all,
and the PRINCE not since he was three
years old. It was a great gratification to
all parties that their Royal Highnesses should have
thus happily accomplished their visit to the town,
and the loyal inhabitants were most eager in wel-
coming them. In every point of view we may de-
clare that this Royal visit was a good thing, it re-
moved the feeling of awkwardness which has existed
for some years now respecting the relations of
Brighton with Royalty, which once lent so benefi-
cial an influence to the locality. It also gave great
encouragement to the Volunteer Review there as a
custom of the period, and, not less important, it was
a tribute to the principle of the thing—it was a
homage to the Volunteer establishment itself, which
is in itself a valuable thing.e, It was by no royal
road that this body attained its present proud pre-
eminence, it had to make its own way through 'ail"
