pounds. This may he taken as a large fish, if we con-
sider that the fishery is not here strictly preserved, but
open to almost every person who may choose to try his
luck therein.

CAUTION TO BATHERS.—On Wednesday
se'nnight, three youths, aged 1 1, 13, and 16, the sons of a
pour widow named WOOTON, residing in Leather-lane,
went early in the morning to bathe. On arriving at the
river, THOMAS, aged 13, perspired very much, yet, not-
withstanding a caution from his elder brother to wait until
he was cool, he plunged into the water. After being in
sane few minutes he complained of a giddiness and sicl-
nets, and came our, but was unable to dress himself. As-
sistance was procured, and he was conveyed home and put
to bed quite delirious. Indeed it was necessary to strap
him down. The assistance of Dr. LAMB, and Mr.
WHITMORE, the surgeon, of Great Bath-street, Clerken-
well, was rendered ; but in spite of the medical skill of
those gentlemen, the unfortunate youth died on Sunday
evening. A post-mortem examination of the body by Dr.
LAMB and Mr. WHITMORE has since taken place, and the
appearance has verified their opinion, that the boy came to
his death throtigh imprudently bathing while in a profuse
perspiration.

AGRICULTURAL RRPORT.;FOR:JUNE.

The wheats, our most important concern, have
experienced a most sudden improvement in colour
Ind healthful vigour, and are now universally
promising. On cold and poor soils, of course, they
ire not bulky, but their promise for a crop at pre-
sent far exceeds our late expectatiew : on strong
Inc! rich grounds a rick is to be apprehended from
over luxuriance, the corn being so lofty as to be
liable to he beat down and laid by storms or heavy
rains. The ears burst forth immediately on the
favourable change of weather, and the critical season
of blooming is now in course. The spring corn,
oats, barley, pulse, together with the grasses, natural
and artificial, have received their full share of benefit
from the late fortunate change, and are all in a most
flourishing and improving siate; the exceptions, in
comparison, however hard upon individuals, being
of small consequence in a general view. In the ir-
regular crops the backward portion is shooting up
with great vigour, affording promise, should the
weather continue favourable, of nearly an equality
of ripeness at harvest.. ilionthly Magazine for July.
