POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY

DOW-STREET.
Henry Need was charged by a bouncing, five feet-ten
Venus of Vinegar-yard, with inflicting a violent blow, "on
the top of her bonnet." She- was supported by another
Venus from the same immaculate region, and both swore
that the conduct of Mr. Nevel was extremely disrespectful.
The defendant, however, a smooth-spoken youth, of sonic
seventeen Springs, stated, that the ladies introduced them-
selves most jovially to himself and friend, and that " being
the most inoffensive young man in his Majesty's dominions,
and much more tender on the whole than fierce ;" lie had
only done it in the spirit of good humour; but that the
complainant bad most unfeelingly consigned him to the
inhospitable fastnesses of the watch-house, because he had
refused to squire her to her domicile.—His friend here
stepped:forward, with the formidable assertion, that he could
indentify both of thud; but Mr. HALLS recommended a
settlement, which was at length effected.

A Velocipeder presented himself at a turn-

A LIVERY-MAN.—The daughter of a highly
respectable tradesman in Cheapside, having lately run off

too late to part them. But then his condition ! How
can I introduce him ?" " How !" replied his companion,
"why introduce him as a Liveryman of the City of Lon-
don—what is more honourable'" The father took the
hint ; and his son-in-law is now to be seen, instead of
standing bellied, riding inside the carriage, the envy of
other Livery-men less fortunate.
A young Nobleman was lately boasting of the
superior abilities of a famous blood horse he had recently
purchased, and offered to back him at leaping against any
horse in the county. An ould one ridiculed the idea, and
said he had a blind hunter that should leap over what the
other would not. A wager to no inconsiderable amount
wa. the consequcnce, and day and place appointed. The
time having arrived, both parties appeared on the ground
with their nags ; when laying clown a straw at some distance,
the ould one put his horse forward, and, at the word
" over" the blind hunter made a famous leap, while neither
whip nor spur could induce the other to rise at all. The
wager was consequently lost by the boaster, who learnt, to
his cost, that in some instances a blind horn zusy (IQ mere
than a yoog one' in his prime,.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR MARCH.

•
A renewal of the froit for upwards of a week, and variable
weather, again put a stop to getting-in the spring crops, for
which the linds universally were in a forward state, work-
ing remarkably well, from the effects of a, dry summer and
a sufficiency of frost, though late in the winter. The far-
mers, of course, were under the necessity of a temporary
suspension of the field culture, and of a return to their usual
occupations, in such case, of carting manure, thrashing, or
any object of immediate interest it the various business of
the home-stall. Notwithstanding the heavy rains, the
field culture has sing', recommenced; and, on the best soils,
sowing the spring crops is, in general, in a considerable
state o forwardness, and the seed well got in. On the
other hand, in low-lands subject to be flooded, and in those
northern districts where the late high winds and snow-
storms have proved so injurious, field business has been
much retarded, and its conclusion will necessarily be some-
what late. The great desideratum at present is a good
cover of March dust, to absorb the superfluous moisture of
the late rains, which, however, have been scarcely even
yet in quantity sufficient to replenish and renew the springs
in those counties where they were completely exhe.nsted by
the summer's drought. If the wheats on the ground have
really received any damage from the severity of the wea-
ther, it will most probably be experienced in Scotland, and
in the northernmost and most exposed parts of the country.
Taking the crop generally, it may be pronounced thus
far safe, and of good promise; for, standing thick upon the
ground, as for the most part it did, thinning of it, in a
slight degree, may prove rather beneficial than otherwise.
The clovers and various seed crops are said not to have
escaped considerable damage.
