YONTIILY REPORT FOR JUNE.
The growing. Wheats have so much • improved
by the dry weather, that, if the thin plants keep
clear of mildew, we may calculate upon Oree-
fourths of an average crop. lo Norfolk,, and
other parts of the Eastern District, the corn has
seldom gone into ear with a better promise. The
Beans are generally short ; but the Pease, under
good horse.hoe culture, never looked more
kindly.--Oats do not promise a crop, except where
they have benefited by partial rains.—Tlte Barleys
hold their colour, and have time enough to turn
out productive.--A large breadth of the early
sown Turnips have keen taken oft milli the fly,
Which a second sowing in many parts has not re-
medied.---The Ilay crops are lamentably defective'
through every part of England and Ireland; 101.
per load was given for it curreutly in the Haymarket
last week. Clovers, Tares, and other green tood,arc
equally short, so that thesucceeding winter will pro-
bably be the most trying for horses and cattle ever
known.--The Grass is generally buret up on light
soils, and even the strongest meadow lands have
afforded but little feed.—Hops continue strong ill
bine, though in Kent and Sussex they have been'
loaded with the dy, which in some of the eeik.er I
plantations have been succeeded by the honey-dew,:
speculations, notwitiistanding, are in favour of a
high duty for the year.—The plants of Potatoes
pro.ltise a general crop,- particularly in the. old
grounds of Essex and Kenr.—The Meat Markets
have held up their prices, in consequence of the
deficient/ in the usual supply of garden Peas
and Beans ; but Lean Stuck are considerably
lower, from the scarcity. of feed in all parts.—
Horses of almost of all kinds arc lower in price
full' 20 per cent. The Wool trade is dull for home
produce, and foreign imports of Spanish have ex.
perienced a reduction of price from 12s. to.
per lb. and kw buyers ate to bo found on these
terms: the recent speculations in this article have
been to an immense amount, which, whatever may
be the national benefit arising filen them, threaten
considerable loss to adventurous individuals. Fine
South Dun Fleeces reach 3s. per lb. but for long
Wool there is no fised.price, as there is little or uo
demand fur it.

-1 RAVELLING ANECDOTES OF Bo N APATITE.-
Bonaparte, during his last journey, did not allow
bis new wife more rest than what he himself took ;
scarcely was she arrived into a town, than he com-
pelled her, however tired, to get in a harouche,
and to visit with him fortifications, duck-yards,
basin's, canals, &c. There is hardly any doubt
but he will ere long make her leap ditches with
biin, was she even to break her iieck in that exec-
cise, as did General Bertrand. It is thus Oilman
chews his love. Among other instances, in Don-
kirk, where he arrived at one o'clock, P. he
hastened to get into a baroeche with lice, and vi.
sited, always with her, all the works iii
,the har-
bour and on the fortifications, till half-past six in
the evening ; she was then compelled to hear part
.of the speeches of the different wethori:ies ; and at
nine o'clock at night,., after 104)14,00er one how
for dinner and dressing, he sent her to assist at a
fete which the town had prepared in her honour.
such is nearly every day the life of that young
Princess. Napoleon did nut assist at the fete pre-
pared fur him by the City of Bruges, hut, as,
usual, he sent there the Empress, mho, by the
amenity of her manners, made the good feletni.h
people forget her husband's uupoliteness. She
gave 6000 francs to the poor of the tows. On
enteritis the Cathedral, site eoald nut, although in
company with
her stern husband,. avoid kneeling
with the utmost contrition by the moulderiug bones
of her ancestors, the ancient Sovereigns of those
countries, whose tombs have been broken by the
Revolutionists. The fragments have been since
gathered in that Cathedral, and Bonaparte, no
doubt, by way of expiation for the crimes of his
former friends, has given 12,000 francs to,repair
those repositories of departed greatness. , The Bi-
shop of Ghent, in congratulating the new Empress
on her marriage with Napoleon, said to her,
among other things—" Associated as you are to,
the destinies of an. Emperor whose glory, is mere
vast than the Empire is extensive, you await
among us in the Spring, that smiling Aurtsr
