AGRICULTURE, &c,

MONTHLY REPORT FOR SEPTEMBEft.

The general run of samples of the new Wheats
has hitherto afforded so few of fine qnality, that
prime ones lioth of white and red fit for seed,
are eagerly bought up.. The crops from filth lands
are found most defective. The Barleys and Oats
were heavy iu most districts, but the quality is
not equal to those of last year. Beans and Peas
are likely to rise well in many parts, although in
some the former were much injured by the night-
frosts when going off their bloom. Rye has prov-
ed a general good crop. Seed Tares, both Winter
and Spring, were found scanty in produce, and Clo-
ver seed not much better. The latter Turnips are
much improved by the late rains, and Coleseed in-
tended to stand for seed is a general good plant.
The Hop plantations in Kent, Sussex, and Surrey,
have fallen off so' much just at, the eve of pick-
in7, that not a third of an average crop is expect-
ed, and that of very inferior quality.--The Grass
Lands are recovering from the effect of the long
drought, and are throwing out plenty of feed,
keeping the Hay markets within moderate prices.
Potatoes turn up everywhere in abundance.—
The Cattle and Sheep fairs have had large shows,
but the Drovers at first holding up the prices,
little or no business was done till they submitted
to a reduction of full 15 per cent. Cart Horses,
and even the best boney Colts, continue low in
value. Smithfield has been abundantly supplied
with Beef, Mutton, Veal and Lamb, all of
which, except prime Beef, were somewhat lower
than the run of lasrmouth.—The Wool trade is
a little brisker for most sorts at a small advance,
particularly in the cross kinds for the shawl ma-
nufactories.

HAYMARKET THEATRE. The School for
Scandal was represented last night at this
Theatre, and attracted a numerous audience.
The chief novelty was the appearance of TERRY
in the part of 'Sir Peter Teazle. Many persons
have represented this character, but none with
more success. lie was particularly effective in
the quarrelling and reconciling scene with his
Lady, in which he was admirably supported
by Mrs. CHARLES KEMBLE, who was in high
spirits, and who sustained the part with
as 'much genuine humour and animation as
the Author could possibly have required. The
same may truly be said of Mr. C. KEMBLE in
Charles. He was all spirit and gaiety. We con-
demn the humour which the Author has thrown
into this part, in the scene on the downfal of the
screen. It would have given a moral grace to
Charles to have shewn some pity for the situation
of an indiscreet woman, for an injured uncle, and
a disgraced brother. But Mr. C. KEMBLE fully
expressed the design of the Author, contrary, no
doubt, to his own taste and judgment. Mr:
YOUNGER was a correct and spirited repreSenta-.
tive of Sir Oliver; and RUSSELL, from Drury-F,
Lane Theatre, gave true characteristic support.to
Joseph Surface. The piece which preceded this
excellent Comedy was KOsina. Miss CORM
gave the airs ably, and acted the part wait
feeling, but her dress was most ridiculous. She
was adorned with silk
,and ribbands, insomuch
as to appear like an Arcadian Nymph rather than
a poor English Gleaner. This is a common fault
with all the Rosinas ; but 1% hy will Stage-Mana-
gers tolerate such an absurdity ?
LORD LOTHIAN.—At a grand review by his
late MAJESTY of the Portsmouth fleet in 1789,
there was a boy who mounted the shrouds with
so much agility, as -to surprise every spectator.
The KING partiCularly,poticed it, and said to
Lord LOTHIAfff"4,OIIIIAN) I Irave heard much
of your agility ; let me see you run up after that
boy." cc Sire," replied Lord LOTHIAN, "it is
my duty to follow your _Majesty."
MATOI AGAINST TIME.--MT. ALLARD, a dea-
ler, undertook yesterday, on the Bath road, to
trot a galloway, under 13 hands (his property)
14 miles within an hour, and lie engaged to ride
141 stone. He did the first quarter of the dis-
tance in 13 minutes rind 30 seconds; the second'
quarter in 14 minutes ; the third quarter in 14
minutes and 35 seconds; and the fourth and last
three miles and a half, with ease, in 15 minutes
and 58 seconds, winning, without the least dis-
tress, 1 minute and 57 seconds within the given
time.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 28.

THE PORTSEA ADDRESS TO HIS MAJESTY.

This day a numerous and highly respectable
Meeting of the town'-of 'Portsea was held at` the
Society's Hall, pursuant to a requiSitiOn handed
to Sir SAMUEL SPICER. Sir SAmuEr, was imme-
diately voted to the Chair. The purport of the
Meeting was then announced by Professor IN-
MAN, who declared he would allow no town to
stand more forward in its attachnient to the Il-
lustrious Personage they were about to address,
than the town of Portsea; but as they were not
met they to discuss any party question, he trust-
ed they would frame such ,an address, as should
totally exclude politicss,and one that should be
unanimously adopted. ' He concluded by again
stating, that more loyal subjects than the people
of Portsea did not exist. THOMAS GRANT, Esq.
seconded the motion, that an Address of the
above tenor should be immediately prepared, and
that the following. Gentlemen should retire for
that purpose :
Sir Gto. Gray, Thos. Grant, Esq., Professor Inman, Thos.
Seeds, Esq., Geo. Soaper, Esq., Alex. Ponidol, Esq., Har-
Snooke, Esq., W. Baker, Esq., N. Did,lams, Esq., Rev.
'l'. Morgan, Rev: W. Dusantry, Rev. W.Tate, Dr. Lara, M.D.
The tolloWing Address was then brought in
TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

-The 'humble and dutiful Address of the Inhabitants of the
Townand Parish of Portsea, in the County of Southampton.
,We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, inhabitants
of the town and parish of Portsea, beg leave to express the
great pleasure which your Majesty's safe arrival in our neigh-
bourhood has given us ; to congratulate your Majesty there-
on, and at the same time to offer the humble, but sincere
re-assurance of our deep and unalterable attachment to your
Majesty's person. We are anxiously solicitous for the conti-
nuance of your Majesty's health ; and we venture to hope
that your Majesty's visit to our coast, so flattering and grati-
fying to ourselves, will prove agreeable and beneficial to your
Majesty. Again, we ask permission to'lay at your Majesty's
feet the declaration of our unshaken and ardent loyalty; and
we pray God that your Majesty's reign over us may he long,
happy,' and -in every thing accompanied with the Divine
Blessing.

The rending of this Address produced a simul-
taneous burst of applause, followed by nine dis-
tinct huzzas, from the hundreds who had crowded
into the Hall.

Sir GEORGE GREY, Commissioner of his Ma-
jesty's Dock-yard, then rose and complimented
the Chairman, Sir Samuel Spicer, on his knowh
loyalty and attachment to his Majesty. Sir
George then observed, that he had refrained,
during the proceedings of the day, from ut-
tering any sentiments whatever, until the
Address had been approved of, that it might
not be supposed his opinion should influence
any one ; he trusted his presence had: not had
that influence. Ile
,then acknowledged the
inward and heartfelt satisfaction which he en-
joyed in meeting so respectable a company to
address their King ; and he could 'now proudly
assure himself that the gentlemen present, at-
tached to his Majesty's Dock-yard, were. totally
unbiassed by him in their conduct of the day.
He could declare he never did, nor ever would,
attempt to bias any person connected with the
Dock-yard. He concluded by complimenting
the company on their attachment to his Majesty,
and assured them that he. knew his Majesty's
sentiments,, who, when he was in, his presence,
had declared himself highly pleased with the
former loyal expressions of the town of Portsea,
and he trusted his Majesty would receive this
Address with_ his usual affability.
The Chairman was then requested to write to
the King's Secretary, to be informed when it
would meet his Majesty's pleasure to receive the
Address. •

It was resolved that, upon receiving his Ma-
jesty's wishes, a deputation, consisting of the
gentlemen who prepared the Address, headed by
Sir Sam.'Spicer, should convey it to his Majesty.
It being suggested that as probably his Majesty
would receive the Address either at Cowes or
Spithead, it would be more respectful, and more
fully meet the wishes of the inhabitants, that
they should proceed on board the yacht in pro-
cession, the same was most enthusiastically cheer-
ed, and Sir George Grey, in the most handsome
manner, offered his yacht and barge to forward
the object of their wishes.
The thanks of the Meeting were then voted to
Sir Samuel Spicer.

Before tbe-_night set in, above 3000 signatures
were attached to the Address, and we are free to
declare that a more loyal, unanimous, and re-
spectable Meeting was never held iu the. town► of
Portsea; not a. dissentient , voice or hanit_was
heard or seen Miring the whole proceeding.
Majesty this day received the Ryde Ad-
dress-4: to-morrow he receives the Gosport and
Portsea,Addresses: The GoSport Address will
be presented by Samuel Jellicoe, Esq..
His Majesty :comes on shore hereto-morrow,
reviews the,lsf Battalion 3d Guards, and 'sets oil
for town in the afternoon. His carriage•is coming
from Brighton to-night.

The following is an extract of another. Letter,
dated P6rtnnouth, Sept. 28 :—. ..

teries and every ship here. His Majesty proceeds straight to

THE ADDRES.

TO'HIS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY GEORGE THE

FOURTH, KING OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRE-
LAND, DEFENDER OF THE FAITH, &C. &C.
May it please yonr Majesty,—We, your Majesty's most
loyal and dutiful suhjetts, the Inhabitants of Hyde and its
vicinity, and the Visitors to that watering-place, collected
from various parts of your Majesty's dominions, avail onr-
selves of the occasion of your- Majesty's visit to the Isle of
Wight, to offer to your Majesty out warmest sentiments of
loyalty and affection to your Majesty's person, of devotion to
the Illustrious House of Brunswick, and of attachment tv the
blessings of the British Constitution:
Your Majesty's naval excursions, while they prove a stimu-
lus to various species of nautical and other industry, and en-
courage a spirit of emulation amongst all -classes of the com-
'munity to become familiar with the element on which Britain
boasts her surest defence in her gallant nary, will, we ar-
dently hope, be attended with the most beneficial effects to
your Majesty's health; that the welfare of these kingdoms
may continue to be promoted by your Majesty, and that we
may long look up to your Majesty as the patron of all that is
for the good of these realms.
At a period when disaffection and sedition lose no oppor-
tunity of raising their hydra head, every loyal_ subject is im-
peratively called upon to evince his regard for the King and
the Constitution, by upholding those establishments that have
so long made Great Britain pre-eminent among all nations for
wisdom, glory, commerce, and prosperity.
Animated by these considerations, we beg, with the greatest
humility, and with the most heartfelt desire, that they may
be favourably accepted, to offer to your Majesty our united'
sentiments of loyalty and attachment, and assurances of our
continued prayers for the health, felicity, and .prospefous
reign of your Majesty. ; . . . - • • .

His Majesty received the Address with his

to reply to it in the following .terms

HIS MAJESTY'S ANSWER.

GENTLEMEX—It is with the utmost satisfaction that I Tf-
ceive from the Inhabitants of Ryde and the Visitors thereof,
this dutiful and affectionate Address.

I fully appreciate the loyal spirit which has called.fort•.lh
this declaration of their warm and affectionate feelings to my
person, and to the House of Brunswick; and I honour those
sentiments which breathe so ardent and so devoted an attach-
ment to our excellent Constitution. .

I rely with full confidence on the good sense of the people;
knowing that at all times, and in all cases, evil designing in-
dividuals may by artifices create partial and temporary delu-
sions; but that the sterling sense, and innate loyalty of the
great body of the Nation, are ever guided by the. all-ruling
dictates of sound reason and the infinence of truth.

I have derived-great pleasure from witnessing.and admir-
ing that superior system of our naval service, which has main-
tained, with so much glory, the maritime pre-eminence of the
Empire in war, and so essentially contributed to its commer-
cial prosperity in peace. -
I thank the good people of Ryde and its. vicinity for their
cordial prayers for the conservation of that health which,
under the blessing of Divine Providence, I hope to preserve
for the benefit of my people, and the maintenance of the Con-
stitution of the Empire. _ _

The Deputation were most graciously received,
and had the honour of kissing his Majesty's
hand ; after which they came on shore. His
Majesty then came close in under the town.
The pier was crowded by the Nobility and
Gentry here, who, with the whole .of the inhabi-
tants, pressed forward to testify their loyalty to
the King.-Just as his Majesty passed the pier,
he .was saluted by all the guns in the harbour,
and by pine distinct cheers from his subjects ;
while the. Ladies mingled in the affectionate con-
gratulations, by enthusiastically waving their
handkerchiefs.—His Majesty continues in excel-
lent health. Ile was on deck yesterday evening,
and perceiving the splendid blaze which our il-
luminations and bonfires created, returned the
compliment by sky-rockets and blue lights.
