LAIC INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL 3.
TEMPORARY LOSS OF Tlilt MACE.

..... _ _
This turning, at ten o'clock, the Loan CHANCBL•
ton, pursuant to adjournment, attended to hear bank-
rupts' petitions, but on-arriving at his private cham-
ber, wonderful to relate ! the Mace was missing
which always precedes his Lordship's ingress and
egress to and from the Court of Chancery, as well as
the House of Lords, &c. In this dilemma his Lord-
ship, after considerable deliberation, determined to
proceed, and did accordingly enter the Court and
take his seat without his golden precursor, the mace.
Messengers were dispatched in all directions to en-
quire about the mace, and first of all to his Lord-
ship's house, in Bedford-square, where the mace was
nut to be found, on which the consternation was in-
creased by the recollection, that the mace had been
seat several days ago to a gold burnisher, or fiaisher,
to be polished, from whence it was not returned to
the house, but by some mistake was carried to the
House of Lords, Westminster, whence it was at
yowl) reconducted to this Court, to the inexpressible
joy of the officers upon search. - Alter hearing some
bankrupt petitions, of no public interest, his Lord-
ship stated that he was called upon to attend in
another place, and accordingly adjourned the Court.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR APRI L.

From the continued mildness of the Spring, fine
young Wheats have become unusually luxuriant
their growth. In most of the districts where large
fucks of sheep are kept, they arc generally feeding*
down, and no doubt it will prove with profi:able of
fect. The early sown Barleys, which were chiaNl
by so long a succession of rains, have recoverej tl,ei!.'
colour utthin the last ten days, and throughout Nor
and Sulfalk wear a promising appearance. Tie:
forward plants of Beans and Pease are free grow ins;
in Kent and Sussex, but are more foul with summer
weeds than is usually known in thuse coulties ; but
in the former their drill husbandry will enable them
soon to clean them. Oat-sowing has been much re-
tarded
on strong land by the v.ecness of the season,
but on tender soils they appear to plant well. Rye.,
grass, Clover, and Winter Tarts, promise every'
where abundant crops. The general tillage, how.
ever, is on the decline, which is too visibly m '
tested throughout 'most districts, by the neglected
state of the lands intended for fallow; this unfortu-
irately arises either from an inability, or a want of ;
slArit in the tenantry, to give, under the pressure of
the times, that due cultivation to the soil, by a libe-
ral expenditure thereon, without which it must in-
fallibly deteriorate, to great national loss. The
grazing couittrivs scarcely ever experienced so much
teed at so early a season. In the Vale of Ayles-
bury, and most of the rich marshes on the banks of
the Thames, mere Beasts have been laid out already
than is generally known in the middle of May. The
Haymarkets fiSe fully* supplied, and but with-little
variation in price.. Lean Stock of .most kinds. has
fallen considerably, particularly Welch and S..otch
Cattle. Smithfield has been largely supplied threugh
the month with prime beet, Unicorn, and 1.i4 pork,
at reduced prices of more titan Is. a stone, but veil
and lamb are nut cheaper. The Wool market is dull,
and in all torts somewhat lower than that 01 the last
mouth.

The following observations deduced from the in-
fluence of the Planets, on the aff:irs tf the Aurl.l, in
M ore's Almanack, for the present yt-tr, m.ty affor,l
At least some amusement to many of our Readers :

GL Some commotir n. and broils scent to take place in France,
Germany, and Lay, it nut in Spain also.
" It seems also, that thn French GOvernment is wonderfully
employed, for strange tirno are stilt donig these.'
" As to Enzland she shall have • i rincipal hand, with some
Northern Powers, in performing and concluding some gre.it thing,
and as anti;lity actions as Eurore r b.:1161d beture, at least for
many years; for the Etnrerrr of Russia, King of Prussia, se-
conded by the friendly aid tit Austria and Great Britain, will
have the honour o; contr:lituang toward, britling things abut,
and setthvg the Ali:. of Lnrope that may I)! s•ia 1,1 agit.At'utt."
" A certain runt/tun seems valuing ground, and in tavolr
wit!: the rrench Nati.' or Fres& Govessununt, to the nt.,..nfa-
cant r. of a certain ezaited family."
WC of tire late hlovitevrs, publTshed under the au.
spaces of contains the following pragrapb:
" All the Merchants rejoice Oat tLey are no :anger obliged to
shut their shops on seeder. Trade will no terser be shackled;
and the workman, who has no odor day but this to make his
Tittle purchases. will no longer be obliged to sacrilic.* s tart of
his time &voted to Lib.,tic tot this purpose."
If this is one cf the blessings which this regenera-
tor of liter& has restored to the French people, ,we
believe that there ;Ire few, very few, of our country-
, men, whether nurchahts, tradesmen, mechanics,•or
Libourers, who would aicept, much lets rejoice for
such a hl,...ssint,t.
