in the review which this eminent agriculturist takes
of the subject that engages his attention, as doing in-
finite credit to his heart and understanding ; and as
directly coinciding with statements that we have re-
peatedly made. We will only instance, as confirula-
tory of the truth of our remarks, Mr. C.'s observa-
tions on the modes we have repeatedly reprobated
as detrimental to both landlord and tenant, practised
for obtaining exorbitant rents ; and the indiscretion of
the attempt to legislate on so important a subject as
the agriculture and subsistence of the country, with
such blamable precipitancy, and, at the same time,
so totally unprovided with the requisite information
as the Mintsters of this country were in the case of
the proposed Corn Bill,—a measure which this dis.
tinguisheci Agriculturist firmly believes " would ulti-
mately have proved injurious to the landed interest,
as well as oppressive to the community at large."
Vet this, or some such measure, is represented as again

likely to be proposed in Parliament, .and as likely to
receive the unction of the Government of this coun-
try ! Ve earnestly trust w•e shall witness neither.

We have no fresh intelligence from the Continent
to-day. The ;Morning Parrs are solely occupied in
r-t•iiling the meagre contents of the Dutch Mail,
which i; e communicated yesterday. We have made
some additional gleanings relative to Continental
twitters, from such sources as we have, but we ab.
vain from attempting to give to them an importance
which they do not deserve.

The Spanish Ambassador has been •ery constant

During the last %roe!: in his attendance at the Secre-
tary of States Mice. It is not to be doubt• d, that
important embarrassments exist between -the two
countries. —it is also whispeied, that as Mr. CANNING
cannot now remain at Lisbon, he All succeed Sir
lieges- WELLESLEY at Madrid, unless he should be
:canted at home.

The Courier contradicts-a statement of Major-
( ieneral 1)1: ROTTEN atinci's having been declared
President of Lower Canada, and of Sir Gtolwe PRE-
Nosx's having arrived at Halifax, on his way to Eng-
Ur]. At the date of the last advices from Quebec,
Sir (It:out:I: PuEvo_ir continued at Montreal—nor

Lad he any intention of quitting the province during
the winter. It is I►rohable, that in the event of the
ratification of the Treaty with America, Sir GtuaGE
mill, agreeably to hi% own desire, be relieved from his
command in the Spring.
Letters from New South NVales, by the way of
Java and Calcutta, have been received in town, of
so late a date as the 7th Fehrury last. By these we
have the satisfaction to learn, that the apprehension
of a destructive mortality among the live stock, in
eousegnence of the long prevailing drought, had
been relieve,' by a seasonable fall of rain. Wheat
bore a very high price, and the qqaatity in store was
small ; but a supply' was expected from Bengal.

Al r. COKE introduced the new Staffordshire mode
of harking, instead of reading wheat, in a field at
1101kham, last harvest, which answered so much to
his satisfaction, that be intends to cut the whole of
bis wheat crop next year in the same manner.

It is said that a great naval promotion will very
shortly take plate in the class of Midshipmen and
Alaveis' Mates. comprising all those who have served
meritoriously during tile greater prrt of the last war.
'l' he owners of the ruoi and brai!dy, warehoused
under the Bonding System, are quite out of spirits,
under the apprehension of Excliewr writs being im-
mediately issued for the payment of duties.
Last night about urine o'clock, a fire broke out in
a Pitch, tar, and oil warehouse belonging to Messrs.
Bansi:s and Co. in the Back-road, Islington, which
Incacioned the most serious alarm in the neighbour-
hood, it being stated that there was a considerable
quatity of powder nit the premises ; but which, we
understand, was most fortunately removed before the
five had made much progress. The wind being high,
Ito flames were driven towards the backs of the ad-
p:ining houses, some of• Welt were considerably
d.magod ; but uith the exception of the building in
iti}nch tine fire broka out, no others were entirely de-
rn) ed.
A v riser in a derni: g Paper, in observing upon

. .
the ilea schnn, of ('calico, sass :—" It is to be en-
acted—that every reputed common prostitute and
common street-watkor, who shall ho convicted as tlis-
orderly and romtnitt ti by the Nla4i,trate as such,
shall, it. addi ior. Iti the putti.liment of imprisonment
at the disciefion of the Nlagi.-trate, be adjwlged to
have a part, or the whole of her hair cut off. That fur
a second utleure of the kind, the Magistrate

Romto.—Mr. KE%N again appeared in this part
Tuesday, and U:IS as much applauded as on his
I,t,t rept esentation of it.
Mr. K r.MBLE is announced for twelve nights at the
i)uldin Theatre, to commence immediately.
Mrs. NI oc Nvat v, one of the few performers, who
Thine !It sense and sound, and chose vocal ta-
i,•,ta particularly excite universal admiration, is en-
at the Bath Theatre. _

Extract of a letter from Geneva (Switzerland),
domed the 19th of December, 1814 :—" I have the
i''',istirrs to ;.dorm you, that in consequence of 1111
4.,l';cat ion to our Government from several English
residing in and near our town, for a place
