he had seen American plants to which English
skill and culture had been applied, and they had
attained degree of beauty and perfection
which they never possessed in their native soil

1t had afforded him the highest qualification
to witness the beauty of the horses and stock
exhibited that day. Agriculture in his country
differed very much from that in England. In
England the farmers went through a course OF
work which had been continued from centuryto
century. and had only to perfect what their fore

difficulties OF natnre--to tame subdue and ren.
der useful the natural exubarance of their cx-
haustless soil. Nothing had struck him more
since he had been in England than the manner
in which the fields were cultivated and weeded
by the hoe and hand. In America the trees
were older than the roads--oder than the towns
and, where spared. were the oldest monuments
existing in the country. In England not an an

amidst the graves of their fathers, that seemed
to shed sacred influence on their toll. (Cheers)
With the Americans. beneath whose blows

population those who now lived upon the soil

be hoped that the relations of commerce. and
the interchange of intelligence between the cul-

copy from the Farmers, Magaziue the following
account of the crops Of L GLAND. together With
the Editors speculations in relation to prices for
the future. His remarks are based upon the
agricultural Report for July.
Many features Of more than ordinary interest
in connection with the agriculture of this coun-
tv have presented themselves TO the special no.
lice of all classes of society vet we regard
the past AS one of the most important months
we have had TO record FIR a serie. of years past.
In making these remarks it becomes necessary
that we should enter into a few details IN con-
nection with the features above alluded to, and,
further, to Illustrate the importance Of the month
/ Just brought TO close. 1t is, we presume, a
t generally acknowledged fact that the produce of
} last years wheat crop was by no means abun-
dant. and that the yield of all kinds of spring
, corn was unusually small. The position OF tie
consumer became perllous from the great en-
, tent Of the potato disease, the consequent mise-
~ and distress in Ireland, and the aOso'n'r me-
cessity OF exporting largely To that country IN
