At the late Annual Meeting of the Stafford.
(hire Agricultural Society, Mr. AN sow, the Preti.
dent. called the attention of the Meeting to the
unnecelfitry number of horfes made ufe of on the
plough farms in that county. He (lrongly remit-
mendedand wi(hed to fee the fame fy (len) of plough ,
hufbandry adopted there, which was pradlifed with I
fo much fuecefs in other counties, pat ticularly Nor-
folk and Suffolk. Intlead of four or five bodes to
a (Ingle plough, he was defirnus of feeing only tw,
horfes or oxen driven abreaft, and with only one
man to drive the horfes and diret the plough.
At Btitford Fair, near Saiitbury, on Thuifday,
the (how of Sheep and Lambs was fo gi eat, that
the number was computed at zoco more than have
been in the Fair for many years. The great quan-
tity of feed on the ground, and the neceffity of
putting Sheep thereon, made them fo valuable,
that the prices atlced early in the morning ap-
peared to frighten the dealers, who hung off from
purchafing. In two or three hours, the feller.: a
little I-Avered their demands, and the fates then
went on fo brifkly, that the pens were Coon cleared
Inn at an advanced price of full five (billings per
head from 'aft year, and more for lean flock,
which, for the reafons above, fold proportionably
dearer thin fat \Vethcrs, the average prices of
which were about three guineas a-head : Ewes,
about two guineas a-head ; and Lambs, from 15s.
to 3os. prime 325. One London Drover is faid to
have purchafed between 2 and 3000 fheep ; and
one London Butcher, for his own confumption,
about 500 Sheer and 200 Lambs.
THE HARVEST.—In Surrey, Middlefex, Berk-
litre, Oxfordfhire, Buckingliamihire, Effix, and
Suffer. the reaping commenced generally at the
beginning of the !aft week. About Hereford it
began on Wednefilay, and generally in Worcefter-
fhire on Thurfday. It has likewife begun in the
neighbourhood of Whitaable, Hearne, the.Jfle of
Thaw, and molt parts of Kent ; about Stamford,
Uppingham, Wifbeach, Lincoln, Plymotith, Ex-
eter, &c.
In numerous places the harveft is not only car-
ried, but the land is laid down under turnips.—
The difbanding of the Militia, and the redudlion

meat, have given to the Farmers all neceffary af-
fiftance, and enabled them to take full advantage
of the fine weather.

The Farmers acknowledge that wheat produces
a full average crop, and that barley and oats are
uncomm► nly abundant. The damage done by
the rains is very trivial, and by no means to be put
in competition with the benefits which vegetation
has derived lions them. The turnips are finer
than at any former period fince their introduCtion
into Agriculture ; and the after grafs and clover
make ample amends for tire deficiency in the ear-
ly crops. Peale, beans, &c. are all abundant, aad
the former in moft places carried.
The !..ty in Devonthire, Herefordfltire, Shrnp.
and 11.,,ft cf the Northern Counties, has been
wt l ftved ; it is only in the counties contiguous
to Ike capital, where the hay harveft is always
for' ard, that it has been unfavourable.

The price of wheat has fallen general 4 through-
out the country, and doubtlefs will be confiderably
lower. At Cluterfield and Newark it, on Wed-
neftlay, fell fix Millings per quarter ; at Stafford
and GainMorough, about five; Lynn, four ; Nant-
wic.h, nearly to the fame ;,mount; and at North-
ampton, Devizes, Doncaller, and numerous other
places, two to tour.
The harvell is partially begun in Scotland : a
field of tine rate was cnt down on Friday fen-
night at Cromwell park, near Perth.

Oa Tuefday morning, at eight o'clock, a very
Angular circumflance occurred at Teignmouth.—
The lea, at low w;tter, inflantaneoully rote and fell
nearly two feet, fcveral times in the (pace of ten
minotes; and the filling fmacks at tea experienced
foci' violent agitation, that they were in danger of
Ling 1011. The tamp phenomenon has been ob-
ferved at Exmouth, Weymouth, and feveral places
along the coati. On the chores of Italy furl, phe-
nomena are not uncommon ; they art there gene-
rally regarded as the forerunners of earthquakes.—
A fimilar occurrence happened at the time of the

Saturday a painter fell from a two pair of flair,
window in BermondfeyAreet, by which .i.7ridt.:•i•
his &till was frac-hired, and be was ialierwile
ihocki4y bruifed, that he died while being taken
to the 1 lofpital.
On W'cdneiUay fe'nnigbt a Ilage wattgon was
overthrown into a piece of water within a Inv
milesoflVorceder, in confequence of the waggolier
entruiting the care of the horfes to a litee bay,
whit( he flopped behind to drink a::: public houk.
One of the horfes was fo much injured, that it be-1
came necetlitry to kill him ; and -a great part of
the goods falling into the water, were entirely
fpoiled. We are lorry to add, that after the
waggon bad been extricated, the hor being much
fatigued, got into the hay bag to reit hi midi, but
falling afleep, he was ihaken out, and inflantly
crulhed to death by one of the wheels.
As a young lady was time days tince riding on
the Powiek-road, Worcetter, her horfe ran away
with her; and knocking down a gentleman and
his wife, who were walking in the road, unfortn-
nately killed the latter. The Coroner's verelia
accidental death.

Midday Afternoon as a well-dreffed lad, raid
to be the fon of a tradefman in Whitechapel, was
(landing at the corner of Three Crown court, in
the Borough, a dray which was entering emitted-
him between the wheel and a poll in lb terrible. a
manner, that he died fhortly after in the holpital,
whither he had been conveyed.
On Tuefday afternoon, as a fervagt of the Rev.
fir. Brown, of Conington, was returning. from
Cambridge with a cart load of tiles, he unfortu-
n::tely fell from the fhafts, on which he was riding, •
and the wheel going over his loins, brulled him
dreadfully. He was carried to Addeubrooke's
Florpital, where he expired next el:ty.
NVednefday week, as a young man was travel-
ling with a vicious bode (a flallion) near Ahem-
cham, in Chefhire. the animal violently feized him, ,
and, horrid !o tell, tore nut his bowels, fo that he
died almoft it,:lantaneoufly.
On Friday morning an accident occurred which
was nearly proving of very ferious coufequence.
A fet of the Qieen's hones yvere ont upon the
Hammerfmith Road early in the morning, in a
Break. As they were paling the Newbury Wag-
gon, one of its axletrees gave spay, and the im-
menfe load came down upon the Break, and
crutlied it to pieces, but, fortunately, the borfes
and their drivers were far enuti!:h advanced to
be Tuft clear of the waggon, and they efcaped
hurt.

It is much to be regretted that, notwithilamling
the many accidents which happen daily, perfons
will Bill continue to go out of their depth to bathe.
Sunday morning, about nine o'elnck, five young
men took a boat °nage Chelfea, for the purpofe
of bathing. They had not been long in the water
before one of them was feen•to go down feveral
times, but was fuppofed by his companions to be
diving, as he was well accußomecl to it, but un-
fortunately in a fhort time he was found to be
miffing. His brother; who was of the party, had
him immediately dragged for, and in about an
hour he was found, and taken to the Red Houle,
where a Coroner's Inquell was taken on his
body yellerday. His name was RIPEL; he was a
years of age, and had lately fcrved his time to a
confeCtioner in Vere.ftreet, Oxford-fireet. _

Saturday fe'nitii.;llt one of the privates of the
regiment of dragoons bathing at Sandy-
point, near Lxeter, being fuddenly leized with
the cramp, was drowned.
Same day a child, about r 4 mouths old, playing
near a fmall pond, in Little Silver, on St. David's
hill, Exeter, fell into the fame, and was drowned.

tiunday fe'nnight, as Mr. J. Godwin, affiflant
to Mr. Blowers, grocer, of Halefworth, was bath-
ing in the river Blyth, near that town, he was un-
fortunately drowned. •
On Friday afternoon a boat, with feven perfons
in it, corning from Greenwich, ran find of a Blip's
cable near Greenland Dock, and was overturned ;
but. no lives were loft, -they being picked up by
other boats palling at the time. • . • •
A few days ago a waterman of
,the name of
Tv ItNER raved the lifeola young man from drown.
ing, who had been bathing a little above Wetimin-
fler Bridge. He bad difappeared under water
three or four times, 'but the latt time he rofe,
Tv v.N UR caught hold of his hair, and dragged him
into his boat. The youth was with difficulty reco-
vered, but as foon as he came to his fences he
(hewed his gratitude by ciafping the waterman
round the neck.

Thurfday night at Moreton, near Sherburne,
two horfes, belonging to Mr. Lightfoot, were
lit uck dead by lightning. A boy likewife by the
fame means was deprived of his Ipeech, and con-
tinued apparently dead fome time, but was after-
wat cls rettored.

On Friday, about four o'clock in the afternoon,
a great part of the front of an old houfc in Wych-
Rreet (lately an eating•houfe) gave way, and fell
with a horrid crath. Some workmen were em-
ployed in the infide at the time, pulling away part
of the wood work, which is laid to have been the
etude. However, they efcaped without injury.
A molt melancholy accident happened fall
Thurfday morning in Great Pon`Amy-lb-act. As
a man of the name of Pritchard (a flulentaker) fat
at breakfafl with his wife, the maid going to fill the
tea-pot, the kettle of boiling water unfortunately
flipped out of her hand on their only child, two
years of age, which expired in the greateft agony
before it could be [tripped. The cataltrophc had
Inch an effeet on the mother, that (he has been ever
Mince out of her reafon, and at prefent there is no
great appearance of her amendment.
