AGRICULTURE, &c.

MONTHLY_REPORT FOR APRIL.

The long continuance of heavy rains has greatly
impeded the getting in the Barley and Oats on
heavy lands, a considerable extent of which in
many districts will probably, from'the lateness of
the-s-eason,- remain, unsowed. Those. found sown
on sender soils -have planted well. Beans took
kindly in general; but Pease do not carry so pro-
mising an appearance. The IVheats have gone off
in colour from the chilling- rains and frost ynights,
and are so bound on strong lands, as to promise
but little benefit from the _hoc. In the Northern.
counties, particularly in• Yorkshire, every branch
of agriculture has suffered much from the severity
of the ‘veather, a fall of snow covering many
parts of it in the last week, nearly t vo feet deep.
Tile Clovers have stood the weather better than.
the Grass lands, the growth of which was checked
by the frosty winds in the middle of the month.
Rape for seed is thin, and -not likely to produc
an average crop. The Hop Plantations look ge-
nendly well, affording strong bine to the poll.
The Cider countries of 'Herefordshire and Devon
have a promising bloom.
Oak Timber is advancing, fetching S pounds a
load at- the stub. Bark is also worth more mo-
ney. The Meat Market is a little lower for Beef,
from the large supply of Beasts which have finish-
ed their turnip feed in Norfolk,
.Bte. Mutton,
Lamb, and Veal, maintain their prices. Lean
Cattle have dropped a little but Store Sheep are
scarcely to be purchased on any terms, from the
great loss in many- extensive flock, not only of
ewes and lambs, but of hoggets and welders also.
-The Wool Market is higher for all sorts. Boney
Horses-and Colts for husbandry are also dearer.

On Wednesday last, Captain Newton, of the
brig"Williain, stated in a former paper to have
,been committed to Haverfordwest gaol, on sus-
picion of having poisoned Captain Rider, the late
master of the said vessel (who died shortly after-
wards), and William Bowden, the mate, who
became much indisposed, eras, in consequence of
the arrival of Bowden trotn Liverpool, re-exa-
mined, and finally'committed to take his trial at
the next Adm,iralty Sessions in London.—(G44-

POVERY.

Essays, ebservations, discussions, and argud,
ments, ere generally so occupied by leading to
facts, that the clue is often lost before we'can get
at their inferences. They are like a chain, of
which no one link is singly useful, brit as it leads
to another. Instead, then, of arguing for our
leader, we will put a few plain questions,, and
leave him to argue for himself.
Is the Protestant Establish►nent of any value in
Great Britain ?

Are we hound to preierve it unimpaired ?
is there any institution or privilege among USA
which is more valuable?

Is it to be ket aside or impaired for any object;:.
lesi't-han the general good of the whole empire ?
Is it to be set aside or impaired for the particu
br good of the minority ?
Is it not consistent with every principle of re•.
ligion and of liberty ? •

Is it not inconsistent with every principle of
superstition and of despotism
Is not every subject who acknowledges his'

equal allegiance, entitled to equal ptivileges ?
Is any subject who does not acknowledge at
equal allegiance entitled to equal privileges ?
Is there to be a different Constitution for the
same subjects ?

Is•noc the Constitution open to every man-who
complies with its conditions ?

Ought it tole open to any man who does not
comply therewith ?

Would not such indulgence operate as a bribe to
refuse compliance ?

Is the Romanist prevented from the same prime
vilege as the Protestant, if he consents to fake
upon him the same obligations ?

Ought be. to have those privileges, without
those obligations?
Is he excluded by the laws which framed thosb
obligations, or by the conscience —which rejects.
them ?

Is such a conscience to be trusted ? • , •
Is the Prottistant Establishment in danger, whili
Popery is exclutled.from poiver

_ .
Will the Protestant Establishment be in safety,
when Popery is admitted into power ?. •

Is more wanted from the Romanists -than sub-

.
mission to the laws ?

Are they to be rew:u•cled for, or bribed into, the
common cluiy of such submission ?

Does their exclusion deprive the State of any.

,benefit or security ?
If they will be:neither useful nor faithful with-
out privileges, is their utility to be thanked, or
their fidelity to be trusted ? •
Is not the proposition of such an argument a
menace ? •-

Ought a menace to obtain either compliance or
confidence

Is the profession cif the Popish Religion com-
patible with tl►.e entire preservation of our Pro-
testant LaP,s, in him who is entrusted with mak.

•
ing or executing them ?
Is it to.be cared--4hether the Romanists need
our Constitution ; or, whether our Constitution
needs the Romanists ?
is it to be cared—whether our Constitution is
good for the Romanists ; or, whether the Rea
manists are good for our Constitution ?
Have they not already the full exercise of their.
Religion, the full disposal of their Property, and
the full possession of their Liberty ?
What more can they attain, except Power?
Is Power a natural right ?
Does experience warrant us in thinking, or.
history in believing, that Popery can safely he
entrusted with Power in a Protestant State, or
over a Protestant People ? .
Let every man take these questions to hi 3 pil-
low, and then act as he shall decide upon them—
. YES OR NO..

CROWN OF SCOTLAND —About the tenth or
eleventh century, when all the Powers of Europe:
were at war against the Turks, the famous King
ALPIN went to Constantinople, at the head of the
Scottish army, where by stratagem he obtained
the countersign, or pass-word, of the sentinels,
by which means he found his way into the sanc-
tum sanctorum of the Grand Turk, where he bold-
ly cut off his head, carried away the Crown, and
imported it into Scotland, where he wore it during
the rest of his life and famous reign, and resigned
it to his successors in office.—For the rest of
KInG ALPIN'S life, we refer to Buchanan's History
of Scotland-, and Skinner's Ecclesiastical History
of Scotland.--The coat of arms of the MAC-
GREGORS, who are the real descendants of King
ALPIN, hear a clear :illusion to this tradition.—
