AGRICULTURE, &c.

MONTHLY REPORT FOR FEBRUARY.

Since the breaking up of the long frost, plough--
ing and field-culture generally have proceeded
with all possible diligence, and in proportion
to the facilities afforded by the soil. The
wheats, and all arable lands, %sill receive a full
portion this season of the benefits which never fail
to accrue from a frost of considerable duration at-
tended with a sufficient cover of snow. Considers.
able quantities of the potatoes in store have been
frosted, whilst the apple• have never been known
to keep better, and never was there a more plen-
tiful season of that most useful fruit. The low
meadows bate been generally flooded from the
sudden thaw ; and the wheats so situated are sup-
posed to have received heavy damage.

CORN-EXCHANGR, MANCH I —We had very
little fine Wheat at Mathet this morning, having
had no fresh arrivals since Monday, and prices
remain as on that day. Fine Barley fully sup.
ports its price, having a short supply to•day
but the middling qualities continue heavy sale.—
The arrivals of Oats have beer► very large this
week:and at a decline of about Is. per quarter ;
the trade was very heavy.—ln other articles there
is no alteration.

A Letter front Leeds of the 27th tilt, says—
" my last I informed you of the ttinviluous
proceedings at Dewsbury and the rlci,hbouting
townships and of the committal of teo of the ring-
leaders to York Cas.lle. I; was hoped that
aided by the presence of the mEitary, would have
restored tranquillity, at least for a time ; but I
am sorty to sAy it has not been the case. The
Union men show a bolder front than ever, and
openly declare they will avenge themselves
on all who ()prose Ilietn. lo spite of the
presence of the military, and the inmoit vigilance
of the Municipal Authorities, the Union Societies
increase."

THE MURDEROUS CONSPIRACY.

PUB LIC-OFFI GE, BOW-STREET.

It has been ascertained that so determined were
the horrid gang that their deadly weapons should
not fail of the desired effect of committing murder,
when applied to the body of any victim they might
attack, that they bad their swords fresh sharpened
on the day preceding that on which the Earl of
Ilaaftowey was to give his Annual Grand Dinner,
as Lord President of the Council, to the Cabinet
'Ministers, the Great Officers of State, and other
official Gentlemen, whose assassination they had

contemplated.
The apprehension of Thistlewood in such an
obscure retreat, so soon after he absconded, is
probably the greatest act of prompt, discovery and
exertion that ever was performed, and especially
es he was the leader and captain of the gang, and
had, no doubt, led the poor ignorant crew of as-
sassins into the blood-thiror hardihood in which
they had embarked with him.
Yesterday Mr. Llliston came to the Office, and,
in the roost hand!,ome manner, offered the use of
Drury-Lane Theaire, any night that might be
ti(2red upon, for the benefit of the officers. This
will enAle the Public to re mai d the exertions ot
a deserving and mewl set (.1 ins n, who Lave rid
thew of. such a dcsprilite gang of miscteants.
Thomos Preston.—Thi, igoot.:nt fellow, after
being shot- ly examieed ort Monday evening before
11.1 r. Burnie, was sent to Covent-garden watch-
house, where he remained in confitrement during
that night. He was yesterday morning removed
from that place of eohtinement to the Sect entry of
State's Offiee for the Home -Department, where,
at 12 o'clork, the Lords of the Council assembled,
consisting of the Cahinet.Ministers, the Martinis
of Cemden, Mr. Peel, Sir William-Scott, Sir
John Nicholls, Mr. Sturges Bourne, • toge-
ther with the Attorney and Solieitor-Gene-
-t all, and other Law Officers. 11103uller, one of
the principal clerks of the Council, attendo to
take the minutes of the proceedings. When
l'r•Aron was taken in before the Lords of the
Council he behaved with his usual boldness and
low insolence to most of their Lordships per-
sonally. He called upon them with the most In-
dicrously impudent arrogance, and "asked what
they meant by sending for hint to (fistful) his
peace of mind, and to disturb the economy of his
family, alluding to his three daughters binding
shoes, and himself making then.—The examina-
tion of this impudent fellow lasted about half an
hour, after which he was committed to 'Fothill-
fields Bridewell in the custody of two of the Bow-
street Officers.

We omitted to notice, in desciibing the op-
prehensiun of Thistlewood, at Harris's house, in
White-street, Chisvrell-street, that on searching
the house, some powder was found, which Hunt
calls his " Breakfast Powder.''

!kir. Birnie, the Magistrate, has received a
letter flora the Earl of Essex, inclosing a check
for 101. with a request that it might be distri:
bored in such a way by Mr. Birnie, to the widow
tit Smithers, or to the wounded officers, as his
►discretion might dictate. The Noble Lord also
pa,,sed the warmest awl most deserved eulogium
on the activity and zeal displayed by the worthy
Magistrate himself. .

has been offered, has not been apprehended.

person -attended at Bow•street OffiCe, by or-
der of Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, to -examine the
arms•and combustibles found in the loft in. Cato•
street. Upon this occasion one of the hand-
grenades, to which allusion has been matte, was
°veiled. It was found to consist internally of a cy-
lindrical tin box, closed at each end, and.contain-
ing about two ounces of gunpowder; from, this
there was a tin tube, or fuze, of about three
inches in length, filled with damped gunpowder,
which would of course only •ignite by slow de-
grees ; around the whole was wrapped a quantity
of tow, saturated with tar, and beyond this there
was a quantity of old nails, pieces of .spikes,
old iron, bits of broken files, &c. which were
bound together with tarred rope-yarn ; forming
altogether a ball of about six inches in diameter,
which, when exploded, •would spread its destruc-
tive effects to a distance of one hundred yards, and
each fragment of iron thug dispersed would be
more injurious than .a musket ball, asit would
inflict •a more dangerous wound. From these pre-
parations some estimate may be formed of the
deliberate and diabolical determinations of the
conspirators.
Yesterday Edward Forster, alias French. Ned,
charged with using seditious expressions 'respect-
ing the KING, underwent an examination before
It. 13irnie, Esq. The utterance of the expres•
•ions in question were proved by the soldiers by
whom they were heard, and the prisoner,was or-
dered to find bail to answer the offence at the
Sessions. .Not being prepared with his sureties,
be was remanded to the custody-of Salmon.
The lodging of little Waddington, of Radical
untotiety, was yesterday searched by Lavender and
Bishop. lt•was thought some of the conspirators
might he concealed on the premises; but nothing
of a suspicious nature was found.

- DARING , THIRF —Yesterday morning, -while
one of the Clerks .to Mr. Stephen Young, Soli•
citor, of •No. 7, Poland-street, Oxford-street,
was in she back office, his attention was attracted
by a noise, as if some person lid shut the par-
lout door : be immedisrsely -hastened out Of the

thief, who immediately dropped a iiick4ock-key
and ran into the street (the door being open), and

when there was found'on him two plated-nobs of
candlesticks, and two wax candies, .which be bad'

name Poole. Ha is quite a youth, and on being
found out in various falsehoods, he to!d the Ma-

SOUTTMARK MEETING.

ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE TO HIS MAJESTY.

Yesterday, pursuant to a Requisition, signed by
several of the most respectable Members of this
Borough, a Meeting was held for the purpose of
voting an Address of Condolence with his Muss-
TY on the lamented death of our late revered.
SOVEREIGN, and of congrattilation,on the acces-
sion of his present MAJESTY to the `Throne.
About one o'clock,:. John Prinsep, Esq. the,
High B4iliff, attended,by Mr. Calvert, Sir Robert
Wilson, Mr. F. Young,, and several other Gen-
tlemen, entered the Hall. The High-Bailiff, after
the Requisition had been read, 'informed the,
Meeting of the object for which, they had been
convened, and acquainted them with ,the nature
of the Address which it was intended to propose,
for the adoption of the; Meeting.
Mr. FLORENCEIrOV-N6 felt it necessary to pre.,
face the motion he was about to submit to the
Meeting by an observation, as to the origin of
this Meeting. Having no corporate rights of their
own, they could not, as the law now. stood, have.
met for that or any other purpose, without being
convened by their High. Bailiff. Several, therefore,.
of the. most- respectable persons in. the Borough
Wad' tiler-00re determined that, it
.was their 'duty to
address his Majesty on the subject of his acres-
becoming demonsftation of loyalty
and attachment to his Illustrious House. These
persons, amounting to 35 in. number, signed the
Requisition, and the High -134iliff, with his usual
politeness, had convened the Meeting. He was.
aware there were in that Assembly persons of
very different political creeds, and the Address had.
therefore been so drawn up rhat it was impossi-
ble it could contain any thing which might be
considered objectionable by persons of any party.
One part of their duly on this occasion Was WWII-.
Tritely defined by the -general sentiment of grief
which pervaded the nation on the death of the
King, the 'other part cougratulating his Majesty
on 114 Accession. He trusted it was not neces-
sary to remind them it was a manifestation of
their loyalty-, as cr-editable to themselves as it
must be gratifying tq their Sovereign. He then
moved the following Address be presented to his
Majesty :
To HIS MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY,

We, the loyal and dutiful inhabitants of the ancient
Borough and Town of Southwark, do most deeply and sin-
cerely condole-with his Majesty upon the severe loss we have
sustained in :common with others, in the death of his much
lamented and beloved Father, who by his many distinguished
yltifies had afforded to his subjects the brightest example,
and mainly contributed to fortify and maintain to this Coun-
try its invaluable Constitution, impressing thereby the most
favourable opinion, of our national character upon foreign
nation's. We take the earliest opportunitrUrciingratulate
your Majesty on your accession to the. Tbrinie of these
Realms, and to express our gratification upon your recovery
from your late severe indisposition, in the fullest confidence
that your Majesty will use the powers confided to you for the
maintenance and preservation of our Religion, Liberty, and
Laws, humbly imploring the Divine Providence that your
reign may be long and happy.
Colonel GAITSKELL rose to second theltddress.
He reviewed the principal features of his late Ma-
jesty's long teign, which lasted nearly 60 years.—
His early accession to the Throne proved no
temptation to him to indulge in those juvenile
pleasures or excesses which might have been pal-
hated lay his extreme youth. in every sphere of
hie he had conducted himself so as to secure the
affections and respect of his subjects, and render
his memory dear to every Briton. In attachment
to our commercial interests, in affording an ex-
ample to the nation of morality and religion, no
King had ever shewn himself more conspicuously
than our late beloved Sovereign. During his
reign the jurisprudence of the country had been
improved, by his voluntarily rendering Judges
independent ; general warrants too were declared
illegal, whereby every man's house became
his castle; agriculture was encouraged amongst
Country Gentlemen, by his setting them the ex-
ample; the system of educating youth was 'adopt-
ed on a grand scale ; -sad thus every act of his
long reign entitled him -to the endearing epithet
of Father of his People.—(Applattsel-r-Of that
Illustrious :Personage now on the throne; the
pecrpleiot -England might well be prowl ; during
the nitte years .of his Regency., his tender care
and affectionate solicitude for his aged father had
_endeared him-to all. From the country had
every thing to hope,
.and trusted his. Alojesty
would imitate his Sire, in
.handing down io his
Successortt, aritnpaired, those institutions and
laws which were the pride and blessing of Eng.
lishmen.

.....
Mr. Gtwes (who spoke (torn ,the body of the
Hall) wished a trifling addition should be made
to the Address: Why should the name of Queen
Caroline not he added? Whatever were the cir-
comstances which induced the King and his Royal
Consort to live spat t, her name should appear in
any Address of this nature, unless it could be
proved she has disgraced the'British Throne.—
(Applause.)
The HIGH BAILIFF wished to correct the mis•
apprehension: of the last speaker as •to the busi-
ness before them, which consisted simply, accord-
ing to,the tenor of the Requisition, of an Address
to his Majesty on two prescribed and defined sub-
jects. Another Meeting might be called with a
view to carry the object of the last speaker into
execution ; but to move any such etriendment
then, would be a violation of the terms of the
Requisition. He should, therefore, refuse to put
any such amendment.
Sir Roam' NVILsom thought the adoption of
a course so singularas that propoeed, could not
fail to create pain in the nnud of her Majesty,
should it come to her ears. She .was now not it)
England, and, therefore, could not be jointly ad-
dressed with his Majesty. Nothing prevented such
a joint, Address but her absence. • Queen Caroline
was undoubtedly entitled to the homage and al-
legiance of every British subject, unless she were
proved to hate acted unworthily. When, bow-
evershe, *honkd appear in
,England,
e public
would:recollect: she- wet, for many -reasons dear to
:them-as'the daughter: of. one of the first Generals
of the age ;,as tke sister of the gallant, Duke of
Brunswick, who, perished:bravely in opposing
tyrant; as the mother of our: belovethand ever-
to-be latuented Princess Charlotte ; lastly, they
would recollect she- was,a-woman, and, hence,
entitled to our countenance and support.-;—(Lond
applause.)
Mr. CALVEHT, N. P.- thanked most cordially
the Gentlemen who had drawn up the Address,

for having excluded front it all p 444.41 topics
whatever ; and he trusted the reward of it would
he, that the Address would- be voted with that
unanimity_ which it was entitled to from both the
topics to which it alone alluded. fle.entertained
the firmest hopes that his Majesty would act tip to
those principles in Which, his Majesty •had often
;boasted he bad been brought up in the society of
theArear Mr. Fox, and other sound constitutional
Stateimett. He (Mr. Calvert) had the high ho-
nour of his personal 'acquaintanCe for years, and
could, with the utmost confidence, rely on any as,
surance given; by that-Illustrious Peisonage as to
the measures of Povernment he might pursue.

Mr. GfL.LIES confessed himself satisfied with the
explanation of the Hon.MeMbers for the Borough.
Sir ROBERT WILSON triisted the late •King's
-memory .was embalmed in the grateful recollec-
tion of his fellow-countrymen. His piety • has
heen as unaffected as his morals had been pure
"and benefieent. tie had often been heard to
repeat the poet's sentiment—" An honest man's
the. noblest work of God." Although kind
and fami:iar with many, none ever abated
less the respect due to his high station. How
long had he been the admiration of Ms sub-
jects whilst, surrounded -by his fine family in
his peaceful retirement at Windsor. Of his Go-
vernment there existed but one opinion 'amongst
foreigners, which was, that it fitly resembled the
courageous. conduct-and character of the people
he governed. Of the reigning Monarch it was
difficult to speak with propriety, as eolngy was
now the only terms considered respectful to the
Throne. He htid received from the, Sovereign
prisons! favours. His feelings were peculiarly
kind, and the benignity'of his disposition remark-
able. To an understanding of the first rank he
united the highest accomplishments, so as to render
hint the most highly gifted Pt ince in Europe. Al-
though he had conscientiously, he trusted, op-
pnsed the measures of- his Government, he ft It by
no means disposed to confound the person of his
Sovereign with the measures of his Ministers.—
fie concluded with a wish that he might long en-,
joy the throne of his ancestors, and support the
honour and happiness of his loyal and faithful
subjects.—(Applause )
EBENEZER COLLET, Egg. (a Magistrate) moved
the High Bailiff should sign the Address on ltehilf
of the Meeting, and present it to his Majesty in
the" usual manner.

Mr. CALVERT suggested an amendment, fearing
it open to a deputation of the Meeting to attend at
the next Levee with the Address, should his Ma-
jesty he pleased to receive the Address from their
hands in person ; which tv4s agreed to.

Thanks were then voted to the Chairman for
his conduct in the Chair, and to the Itepresenta-
tires of the Borough in Palliament for their Fa-
te-Mance, which were unanimously agreed to, and
the Meeting dispersed.
