ENGLISH AGRICULTURE.

Whatever opinion we may form Of Britain,
her pride, arrogance, insolence, presumption,
vanity-iaults, too, that will have to be amend
ed within ten years by the compulsory pro-
cess ola general alliance of nations against
her--yet we must all confess that her agrcr9-
ture is the most stupendous thing under Hea-
ven! When it is remembered that the crop
of turniPs grown in Norfolk alone is greater
than the value of her trade with China that
the market price of geese broughtfrom the LIN
colnshire iens is more than her trade with
Denmark that YOU shall see, as common
thing, hundred acres Of turnips, or a hun
dred acres of beans, or thirty acres of cabbage

acres all mown, or a farm of the same size

is remembered, it will be seen that ''grcatn as
Britain is in every thing, the superla,ve degree
OF greatness is in her agriculture-in her soil,

from the circumstance that agriculture does
