MOWTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

Since our laR the feafon has continued unanallr
fine for the growing crops of wheat, barley and oats',
which appear full on the ground, and promife a great
abundance. There has not been recolletted a more
plentiful year for peafe and beans, and potatoes are
=irefully a good crop. From the late prevailing
aid winds and clouded tkies, the corn bevel, in the
moll forward fituationa, will be full ten days or a
fortnight later than ufual. But we have a pleafure
in being able to Rate, that there is a fufficient num
ber of hands to be met with to expedite the bufinefs,
when the grain is ready, and on moderate terms,
elotwithßanding the multitudes who are abfent on
military and naval duties. The hay, in moll of the
Southern dittriels, is already fecured, and has proved
an abundant crop. From the frequent (bowers which
fell during the operation of making, the butinefs was
fomewhat impeded ; but no material damage has
been futtained. In the Northern diftriCts, the.grafs i%
nearly all cut, and yields a heavy fwath ; and as the
weather has been recently more fettled, there is no
doubt bin the crops will be well made, and fecured.
141.1 has been the blight upon the hops this
leer, that there is not now any expeetution that it
can recover, fo as to produce a crop. The infeEts,
the fly and lice, follow the Midfummer (hoot in fetch
a way as to leave little hope that the duty (old duty)
will exceed as or 30,0=1. The young turnips every
where look well, and have efcaped the ravages of the
Ay ; and where they have been well thinned and
hoed; will afford abundance of winter keep. The
clovers and winter tares which were early mown
grow fail, and will foon afford a fecond fwath.—
Feeding cattle do well, and, from the cool tempera-
ture of the atmofphere, thrive exceedingly fall.—
From the finurifhTng Rate of the imams, lean Itock,
as well cattle as (beep, ltilhinaintain good prices, and
are much in demand; as an tart hones, and frefh
milking cows for the dstirr. The pig markets are

HEITVOLD, JULY 30:••••CatiW11,81rili.—Mr. Juftice
HEATH went into Court. this meeting at eight
o'clock, and began,trying tle
MicMwaY 101111111 RY.
Chriflethrr Simplon; The young man who was lately
apprehended fur having committed feveral highway
robbOries in this County and Bzdfordlhire, was put
to the Bar and charged on two indiChnents, the one
robbingfot Richard Oakley, a farmer, on the irth
of July Lot, at King's Walden ; the other for rob-
bing John Br' an, on the fame day, in Bedfordfhire.
When called upon to plead, he anfwered Guilty.-
-The Learned Jude, with the utual humanity of
Englifh Judges, adviled bim to tetra& that plea, and
take his trial. But he perfißed in adhering to it. The
Jude informed him that it would be no ctreumflance
in his favour that he pleaded guilty, nor would it
operate any more againft him that he fhould be found
guilty by the verdift of the Jury, after a plea of Not
Guilty. He replied that he was not aftuated by any
firth motive ; his guilt was too flagrant, and he
&odd confider it as an aggravation Of the. crimes he
had already committed, if he were now publicly to
deny them. The plea of Guilty was then recorded.
The Prifoner is a genteel looking young man, but
not like a Londoner, apparently quite refigned to his
fate. We undernand that fince he has been in gaol,
be has always expreffed his determination of plead-
ing guilty ; and has admitted the name which be
gave was not his true one, nor will he diklofe who
are his family or friends, declaring that they are ig-
norant of his fituation, and he hopes his fate will be
deterthined before it reaches their knowledge. He
alfo !greeted that Tome of the Sharp Shooters, who
apprehended him in the wood, did nut Moot him.
