on the forest-marble clay (some of very tenacious cha- 
racter), with a depth of 6 or 7 inches of soil on the top. 
These lands were first well drained at the expense of 
the landowner. The cost was nearly 4/. 4s. an acre, 
exclusive of hauling, whieh was performed by the tenant, 
who also superintended the workmen. He pared and 
burned and cropped the greater portion of it, after the 
manner of the last party referred to, and succeeded fully 
as well, if not better. A portion of this land, wh'eh 
here more particularly claims our notice, was managed 
otherwise, with complete success. Instead of letting it 
remain idle for a month, exposed to the atmosphere, he 
determined on sowing it, as soon as the suds were 
burnt, with white Mustard. This was done imme- 
diately, drilling it thick (16 Ibs. to the aere), with a por- 
tion of the ashes, leaving a portion for the intended suc- 
ceeding crop—half of the whole quantity, which was 
large, having been hauled away to other lands. The 
Mustard succeeded wonderfully ; in less than five weeks 
it was ready for the sheep.to eat off. The land was 
immediately ploughed up, dragged, and Turnips drilled 
with ashes. The Turnips were an excellent crop ; they | x 
were, in their turn, eaten off with sheep in September 
and November; the land was thea ploughed and sown 
with Wheat, which, as may be supposed, is very pro- 
mising.—Mr. Bravender, in Eng. Ag. Soc. Jour.

COVENT GARDEN, Ocr. 31.—Fruit and Vegetables are 
sufficient for the demand, which is far from being great. E 
apples of excellent ality are plentiful, and the same ma: 
said of Grapes both English and Foreign, especially the 3 
Apples and Testa have not altered in price since our last re- 
port. Oranges are scarce, uts are sufficient for the de- 
mand, English Walnuts are scarce; but foreign ones are 
plentiful, and very good in quality. There is Ri demand for 
Filberts. Lemons are scarce, an ood English 
Melons. Of Vegetables, Cabbages ahiDauliHomeré 50; are good, 
and the latter tolerably plentitul. Carrots and Turnips have 
altered but little in price. Peas have lately been prety 
lentiful, and have been selling as low as 2s. i peek. 
Beans remain nearly the same as n week, Celery is good 
in quality. Good Potatoes are scarce, the greater part being 
affected by the prevailing disease. To ttuces and other Salad- 
ing are gd and plentiful. Considerable quan ntit
