NOVELTY IN CANADIAN AGRICULTURE.—Last Tues-
day a load of Lucerne Hay was exhibited by _Mr. Greece in our
market; a specimen of early produce that deserves imitation.
We are glad to hear that the same gentleman has' introduced
the practice (in vogue in Europe) of sending to town green
Lucerne for the use of horses and cows ; as it is considered one
of the most nutritive grasses, is medicinal, and, will in many
cases preclude the necessity of pasture, and the inconvenience
resulting from distance, flies and bad water.
PRICE OF STAPLECOMMODITIE§.—Ashes Pot, Ist sort,
28s. per cwt. Pearl, do. 335. Flour, fine 20s. - Superfine
225. 6d.; Middling IS. Wheat is offered at 3s. 9d , but can
find no purchaser, on account of the State of the British Market,
with respect to that article.
Mr. West's troop of equestrians will leave this city tomor-
row, in the Steam-boat, Lady Sherbrooke, for Quebec.—
During their stay, they lace succeeded '
remarkably well; hav-
ing averaged on each night of their performance about 1001.-:-.
Out of this, however, is to be deducted the daily expenditure
amounting to 251.

MONTREAL, Jr NE 26.—DrEn.—Here, last evening, after a
very short illness, Mr. James Gielespie, aged about 34, a
respectable citizen of this place, and a native of Aberdeen,
Scotland.

The death of Mrs. Stuart, announced to the public in the
last paper, is an occurrence entitled to notice from the place
Mrs. Stuart occupied in the respect and friendship of her ac-
quaintance, and in the love and affection of her relations.
During a residence of more than thirty.years near' Kingston,
she was blessed with siunal mercies, and also was visited with
severe bereavements. 11rWitlie enjoyment of the former,
she ever expressed a grateful sense of flod's goodness towards
her, and while under the pressure of affliction by the ,de:Ali of
her nearest and dearest connections, she manifested a pious re-
signation to the will of God. •
Mrs. Stuart survived the late Rev. Dr. Stuart several years,
and when the public by his death was deprived of the savices
and example of their pastor, it was a consolation to the rela-
tives to observe in her character the piety, benevolence, since-
rity of temper, and pleasantness of manners, that endeared
him to society—and such was her disposition, which continued
unchanged to the close of her life, protracted beyond the period
assigned to man.
When attacked by the slow but fatal and insidious disease
which terminated her life, virtue shone with a bright but serene
lustre at her last moments. Aware of her approaching disso-
lution, and in possession of beta mentalpowers, with composure
she bid farewell to her reiatiorb and tendered to them her last
blessing. Through faith in tlie Redeemer she aspired to the
happiness of Heaven,, of which it is presumed she engaged an
anticipation on earth.—(.Tune 20, 1821.)
MONTREAL, JUNE 26.—The Steam-boat Perseverance ac-
complished her first trip frOm La Chine to the Cascades in high
style, having performed the distance of 21 miles against a very
strong current, in the short space of three hours.
MONTREAL, JUNE 30.—(ROBBERY.)—Last Wednesday
night, some villain entered the Store of Mr. C. L. Ogden, on
the wharf, made his way into the counting-room by cutting out
four panes of glass, forced open several drawers, and carried
away a writing desk, which was, however, found the next morn-
ing broken open near the New Market. Fortunately the
drawers which were opened contained but little money, while
those unopened held the principal.part of the cash. As; before
closing the store in the evening, there was once or twice heard a
noise, (to which the clerks paid little attention) it is supposed
that the depredator secreted bin-licit' then ; though it is possible
that he might have entered, by meats of a ladder to the third.
story, the door of which had been left unfastened in order to
air dour.

DlED.—Last Tuesday, Jo M'Ray, Esq. Captain of the

SECONDARIES OITICE.—RICKFORD v. ELLIOTT.
—This case, which excited considerable intereq.,
came on for trial yesterday, before tilt SECON-
D xtt y and a Special Jury. The plaintiff's case
was Most eloquently and energetically stated by
Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS. Mr. ALLEY conducted
the defence with his accustomed ability. It was
an action for assault and false imprisonment, and
the defendant suffered judgment to go by default.
There was but one witness called on the part of
the plaintiff, and the Jury, after deliberating for
about live minntes, returned a verdict for the
plaintiff. Damages—One Thousand Pounds.—
Our present limits prevent us frbm inserting a full
report of this
.case ; its importance, boih from
the magnitude of the verdict and the respecta-
bility of the parties, cannot fail to excite a consi.
derable portion of public interest; and we shall,
therefore, endeavour to gratify that interest by
the insertion of our report to-morrow.

Bnicurrcot, Aua.l-I.—The Duke of Your
attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, on
Sunday. Many families of rank and fashion
were included in the congregation.—Yesterday,
his Royal. Highness was .present .at a Cricket-
match, on the Level, between. General MuNny,
the Officers of the 10th Huisars, and the' acightou
Club, though the two best bowlers of the latter
.were, absent. The gefis (le guerre were over-
matched—it was worse than a hollnw thing—
their two innings left them 118 runs short of the
single innings of their adversaries. The ga*,
however, was played i i high s.pirits, and afforded
interesting diversion.
