plete that of the ships which remain
on the station.—
The GRAMPUS will refit at Portsmouth for foreign
service, and it is supposed will take out the direct
China fleet, which will sail from Portsmouth in the
course of this month. The DIOMEDE, Captain FA.,
utAN, also arrived at Portsmouth on Monday with
about five hundred Royal Marines, from the Roona-
pot. The DIOMEDE took out Russian seamen belong-
inz to the same corps as we stated last week went to
Holland in the THAMES and NknrEsts. In ct-,nse-
qitence of Admiral VERHEUIL still holding out in die
Texel, the SCARBOROUGH.; Rear Admiral Fcattimit,
and PitiNcEss CAROLINE, Captain DOWNMAN, are kept-
lioseley Bay to observe his motions. The anc-
TRA, Captain GREGORY, arrived at Portsmouth on
Thursday, from Gibraltar. Sh--• sailed from St.
John's, Newfoundland, on the 27th of November,
with convoy for Lisbon alb the Straights. .(Irt the
13th of December she experienced a dreadfitrgale,
which obliged her to throw eight guns overboatd ;
her sails and rigging were also much shattered. It
is feared that one of the convoy went down. The
ELFcTitA arrived at Gibraltar on the 3J of January,
and after refitting, and taking more guns on board,
she sailed for this country, with dispatches from
Rear Admiral LtNZEE. The IMOGENE was collecting
a convoy for England, with which she would shortly
sail. The ELECTRA is under quarantine.

AGRICULTURAL REPORt for FEBRUART.

The severe weather in the early part of last month,
succeeded by frosty nights and clear days, has consi,
derably impeded the early sowing and other necessary
operations in agriculture.
The young 14 heats have not suffered by the severity
of the winter. Tue early sown have thrown out a
sti ong and luxuriant Hag, a sure indication of a full
crop. 'the latter sown, upon tenacious soils, have
been checked, but the plants, although backward,
look healthful.

The spring preparations of the land to receive the
Lent corn, must be thrown backward in consequence
of the frosty weather. Considerable breadth of peas
aid Leans have been put in prilcipally in the after
part of the day, when the sun had thawed the soil.
The earth is much ameliorated and fertilized by the
large covering of snow, and works kindly under the
*ugh both on filth and lay.
_ _

- The young clovers, tares, rye, winter barley, and
all the soiling species, are in the most promising .state.
Turnips and the brassica tribe have not suffered so
much as might have been expected from the severity
of the winter ; and from the same cause there is more
of this species of spring food than can be recollected,
and will consequently keep back the feeding cattle
from market, and throw the barley sowing very late
on those soils.

We understand that Lail Powts will exhibit, at
Lord SostEavnix's Spring Shew of Cade, on the
7th March and two following days, two of the most
surprising Animals that ever were seen (of the In-
dian breed, of an amazing height, brought over by
Lord CLIVE), and are allowed by the first judges who
have seen them, to have greater weight and smaller
bone than any yet shewn.
