AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR JUNK.

The growing weather through the whole of last
month, has produced a particular and very interesting
appearance in the corn crops of this island, and that
at a time when the public mind was much agitated by
some proposed alterations in the laws relating to the
commerce of corn ; the difficulties attending which
would vanish, were the 'arable lands of this country
drained of their injurious bottom water, and the whole
corn produce economically preserved, and perfectly
separated from the straw and chaff. All those soils
where the water percolates freely from the surface,
are clothed with the most luxuriant vegetation; but
those situations, even in the same furlong, where there
has been no difference of cultivation for many years,
but which retain too much bottom water, are par-1
tially.covered with a poor sickly yellow diminutive
plant, which will hardly produce the quantity of the
seed sown. The difficulty and waste attending its
separation from the straw and chaff, are known to
every observing farmer. Wheat, with the abOve ex-
ceptions, is a full crop, the ear large and strong, but
its produce .cannot yet be ascertained. Barley, with
the above exceptions, a full crop, a large ear, with a
great bulk of straw,and much down. Oats, with the
above exceptions, a very heavy crop, the straw like.
reeds, and the hell prolific. Hops are promising ;
but the apples are a partial crop.

The following was yesterday posted at Lloyd's :

A few days since, a detachment of American pri-
soners
arrived at Taunton, on their route to the depot
at Dartmoor. In the middle of the night they con-
trived, by taking up the flooring of a room in which
they were confined at the Old Angel Inn, and dig-
ging down to the foundation of the place, to make a
hole to admit their escape. Twenty-seven succeeded
in getting out, of whom 1 I only have been retaken.

Yesterday, at Marlborough-street Police Office,
a woman, who cohabits with an industrious working
inAn in Windmill-street, was charged at the sett
of the Parish Officers of St. James's, with various acts
of barbarity to four children, from seven to four years
of age, the offspring of the above man. The neigh-
bours had often seen her beating the children in the
most inhuman manner witil thick ropes, and other
improper weapons. The children bore numerous
marks of violence. The prisoner was held to bail
