MONTHLY REPORT FoR NOVEMBER.

The reports front every part of the country, as
far as concerns its resources, culture, and grow-
ing crops, iire simply those of the most encou-
raging prosperity. We have been fortunate, for
some years past, in favourable autumnal seasons ;
but, probably, the oldest man in existence cannot
recollect, dating from the first week in Sepia inher
to. the present day, a latter season equal to the
present : the present writer,- a constant and at-
tentive observer of the weather, can answer for
full" 50 years. Roses and flowers in full bloom,
strawberries, cucumbers, pe•rs, cauliflowers, con-
tribute to deck out and cater for this deiiglvtul
autumn. Both the pastures and the stubbles af-
ford luxtiriart and plentiful food for sheep; ~nd
the straw-yard, fortunately, will be a very late
resource. Grass has been so high as to he laid,
and has beets mown within the present month
The cows yield a summer flow of milk, and the
batter produced is excellent in quality. Early
turnips generally good, and those sown not later
than mid August prove beyond expectation. Lat-
ter potatoes have risen well. The cattle crops,
rye, tares, &c. never more promising. The wheat
looks well on all, and is as forward on rich warm
soils as in some seasons in the month. of May.—
The apprehension that the luxuriance of the
plant may exhaust it, has induced the practice in
many parts of eating the wheat off with sheep, a
custom hitherto unknown in autumn.

Great preparations are making,: within and with-
out St. George's Chapel, to add to the melan-
choly splendour of the scene. A long covered
way is erecting on the south side of the Chapel,
which terminates in a large portico in front of the
south porch. Another covered way is also erected
in front of the cloister leading to the east doorr!--
These Will be lined, both internally and externally,
with black cloth. They are intended for the con-
venience of the numerous personages who will
form part of the procession ; and that on the
south side is constructed, that the mourners may
alight and form themselves in order while the
coffin is removing from the hearse .4 On the en-
trance at the south door a platform commences,
which, gradually rising, extends down.the south
aisle, and up the nave into the choir, so that
the inconvenience of ascending the steps into the
choir is avoided. The whole of this large plat,
form will be covered with black -cloth. A small
space is provided for the foot guards who flank
the procession. 'lhe whole of the choir is hung
with black drapery. The issue of tickets will,
it. is stated, be limited to persons forming the pro-
cession. The Royal standard on WVindsor•castle
hangs at halt mast, and is surmounted by streamers
of black crape.—(Windsor and Eton Express )

INSCRIPTION FOR A SNUFF-BOX.

LIST !—in me see Hamlet's Ghost,
Similitude 0 rare !
How comes it ? a'n't I at my post
To—" snuff the mar/4v air ?"

Of friends I boast a perfect glut,
Who never turn my foes ;
And yet they seldom greet me, but—
/ take them by the nose !

Like tiger youthful jeering flies
At me whereer I stand;
What then ? 'tis plain the good and wise
Oft—take me by the hand !

There can't a Congress settled be
Sans me and Mister BURKE;
And yet whene'er they deal with me
There's—dirty handed work !

Although my coat is rich and soft,
And golden every inch,
Alas ! how very, very oft
I'm drimn to a pinch !

I ne'er presume to speak to one Gent
Quizzingly ; but, rot 'ern !
There's many find me, quite a pungent
Fellow at the bottom !

In me a moral lesson's hid—
Think whereunto you must,
You raise—what ?—say, a coffin-lid ;
You join—what ?—" dust to dart

Therefore for duller dust prepare,
Pass, mortal, well your days :
Nor think your had acts hidden arc,
For I—nose all your ways !

BEPPO.
