ceedesi to give judgment. Under all the circumstance,
of the case, he thought there was nut im!licient judicial
certainty fur hint to say that the Stables were guilty of
any contempt of Court. it was further hisAlecisian, that
Mrs. Deane, with Barnett, her servant, had been guilty
of a contempt in not sooner placing the young man un-
der the protection of the Court ; and he should while it
to go to the world that it was nut to be supposed that
this Court would extend its care when the parties were
out placed under its prOtection until the danger was un-
avoidable. With respect to the committal of Airs. Deane
and the others for this contempt, he should decide on
another Jay. •

AGRICULTURAL RI POR I* FOR FERRVARY

The price of all kinds of grain continue, much under
what the scanty produce of the last harvest might rea-
sonably have been expected to command. A new Par-
liament, it is hoped, will deem the present depressed
state of our Agriculture a subject well-de,,erring their
serious and early consideration. Not a district but
daily exhibits very lamentable distresses amongst the
most industrious cultivators of our soil. Wheat has ad-
vanced a little in price, from the expectancy tinsig con-
siderable quantity of foreign, now tinder the Klug's
locks, would be shipped for Holland and Flanders
Though the late frost, and falls of snow may impede the
Lent-corn sowing, they. will prove genetally beneficial
to the young Wheats, particularly in the forward plants,
whirls, before this check, began, in ascend COURIIOI, tM
show winter-proud. No complaint is any where heard
of the slug, or wire-worm. From the general lon of
Tnrnips, and the unpromising state of Tarn,
or
Orin, and young Clovers, Spriug:feed must na
be very backward, and the want of it sevCreL"l
those who chiefly rely on artificial food, flay; o_. 4
scarce, is advancing in price. The plants of- Rape, in-
tended fur Seed. have been so much cut by the repeated
frosts, as to promise but a slender crop. Those an tke
fens of Lincoln and Cambridgeshire have been power-
fully destroyed liv inundations. Beans and Peas base
been well got in kefore the last frosts. in most oilskins
but little of Barley or Oats has hitherto been sewn 111
either. Clover seed, both red and white; rises better
than was looked for. The Meat Mirket has fluctuated,
considerably through the month ; prime Beef and Mut-
ton have been rattler scarce. Lean stock of most kinds
are higher priced—the Scotch drovers hare shown at
present bnt few beasts upon Epping Forest. The de-
mand for Wool is brisker.

re bad very little fine wheat at market this morning,
baring bad no fresh arrivals since Monday, and prim
remain a. on that day. Fine Barley fully supports its
prier, having i short rnpport to-day ; but the middling
qualities continue heavy sale. The arrivals of Oats hays
been very large this week, and at a decline of about
li. per quaker; the trade was very heavy. :n other
articles there is no alteration.

ANacnnTs OF nts LsTR Md;icaTT.—The fol'oirinie
anecdote was introthiced by i very popular Scottish Mi-
nister on Sunday week, near (be end of his discourse,
while incoleatitfg the duty of masters to watch over the
religious interests of their servants. and is well anthem.
tirated, as be got it from a near relation of one of the
parties mentioned :—His Majesty hiving observed one
of his domestic servants to he unusually dejected for
sutne Instr. one de/ paid to him, " Thomas, what is the
matter with you, have oftserved you very Melancholy
of late? Are you happy in my family, or has any thing
occurred to vex you: Are you at peace with your fel-
low-smuts?" To all these questions he answered,
that he was well pleased with his service, and lived at
peace with all his fellow-servants. Ilia Majestv desisted
for the resent ; but some days afterwards, still obsery
inn h m dejected, he said to him, " Thomas, it is tile
state of your sou/ that troubles you :" The man ar.
iteowledged thit it was a deep sense of sin on his cot.
science which grieved him. Hie Majesty then said,
'" Can yon feud no comfort from tbi gospel'? You bear
the gospel in St. deorge's" (the.chspel at Windaor).—
The man answered, that he could find no comfort in
what he beard there. His Majesty then feelingly ad.
vised him to attend a worthy Independent Minister in
Dstchet (a small village on the other side of the Thames);
and directed him to call on a certain aged and cape.
rienced Christian who lived there, to whom he should
apply for advice in his present situation. The ab•ve
anecdote shows strikingly the attention his late Maty
rattosi the temporal as well as spiritual interests of his
ties, and his fiberfill!, in regard to religion.

thief, who immediately dropped a picklock hey, and r
into the street (the door being open), and the clerk p . •
sued himwith a cry of " Stop thief:" he was step .
and taken in custody, when there was found on h'
plated oohs of candlesticks, and two waf candles. *ch
he had stolen from the natlonr. He was take, to 01-

re-train the defendant from selling or disposing of the
„remises, fernitnre, and other property, in the hone,
Hoed, thtford-street, lionit-street, county

pleased to appoint and anthorise a person to take pos-
Serll.oll Of the said promises, and carry on the business
the estalnishisient, until it was ascertained in whirl'
tot the parties the proferty was legally vested. Mr.

triset for several years, and at his death, in Ileo4. the
partite' herewe entitled each to a moiety of his effects,

the Mistress with considerable bereft, when, in the
year Is It), site purchased the house of the Viscountess
ets.tene, in tlitionl-street, Bond-street• and removed her
s -tellisheisrist there. This lady, it appeared, had snie

sl:ent that the defendant entered into business to the pre-

tutu the attains, that Me rrwttemon had, on account
of other engagements, not only taken no active part in
tar conduct of the business for several years, hot that
f-e permitted it to be carried on in the name of his sister
e :elusively. Finding, however, that she had leer mars,

<tte was about to dispose of the establishment, he caused
this motion to he made, for the purpose of haring the
pronsrty in greater security, until the determination of
Lis suit. The property was valued at between hi and
t.lelten!.
'rite Vicit-thiavesLton refused the motion. If the
ulaintif. be sot doing any one art of partnership for a

Win from the effects of his oa n negligence. Hr wonld
rot, however. dismiss the motion with costs, hes-mise
ere defendant had by no means proved that the other
party had completely withdrawn himself from the eon-

APPEAL! TO TH2 LOSID
fn the course of the day his Honour, the Vtre-ritsx-'
e: LLAtt, took occasion to observe, that the iniesher of
orals to the Lord Chancellor had become very great.
Ifs could ndt help complaining in the strongest terms,
v "out meaning any thine personal, that when appeals
s ere taken from this branch of the Court to the Lord
tlancellor. and when such appeals were heard by his
Lordship, very different grounds were stated, from those
Aids had beta laid before him. It Ira, by this means
Vie administration of justice in the several branches of
Cie Coen was brought, in public view, into ilisrepnte
and disrespect, and it was a practice which ought, on
many grounds, to be put an iiiiniediate check to. lie
esti felt it his ditty to talk seriously with the Lord chats.
:Asir on the subject, bellow it was his opinion, that if
appeals at all were taken, they ought to be regular ap-
peals, and thus the true grounds of the cage ivisnld be
t ate.). It certainly was very wrong to appeal from a
j silginent, and then, when the appeal came to hr heard,
I's state differeae.grounds to the Judge who hears' sech
appeal, than what had been stated to the Jester from
wtiose judgment that appeal oas taken.—The other
motions were of no interest.
