Bankrupts and Dividends. [Dec.], 
MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 
O UR information from the country at 
present, affords little of novelty. The 
disheartening' conclusion of a season, most 
unfortunate and calamitous to the cultiva¬ 
tors of the soil, is at hand, without the 
slightest present prospect of relief to the 
sufferers, or the solace of any cheerful an¬ 
ticipations of the future. The report of 
the day, however, goes the length of assert¬ 
ing the actual formation of a new and pow¬ 
erful opposition party of the landed inte¬ 
rest in parliament, which it is supposed (a 
frail supposition perhaps) will occasion 
more disquiet and actual danger to minis¬ 
ters, than all the whig or radical badgering 
of the past times. It has been likewise 
said, that the late general temporary abate¬ 
ment of rents has originated in an errone¬ 
ous policy, which can never answer one of 
its obvious purposes; and that a fair per¬ 
manent reduction would, in the end, have 
better subserved the interest of both par¬ 
ties. The comparatively small quantity of 
wheat which has been well harvested, is 
said to be fully equal, in quantity and 
measure, to the famous crop of last year. 
And so extensive was the breadth sown 
last season, that the markets will be amply 
supplied during the ensuing, however or¬ 
dinary the quality of the greater part may 
be. The grand substitute potatoes, is put 
down as half a crop, of which a great part 
will be of a blighted and inferior quality ; 
and now our sage and learned curb conju¬ 
rors, in imitation of the example of their 
•grandsires, they have a new and fine op¬ 
portunity to task their wits for a discovery 
of the cause of that disease. Wheat sow¬ 
ing has been well performed on all forward 
and good lands 3 on those of a less fortu¬ 
nate description, from the interruption of 
too much wet, it has been an irksome and 
troublesome operation : in truth, farming 
on such soils more particularly, has been 
from early spring to the present month, a 
most irksome, harassing, and expensive 
labour 3 a melancholy addition to a despe¬ 
rately losing game. The early sown 
wheats are very forward and luxuriant, 
and if no frosts come to check them, will 
be winter-proud. Should the moisture of 
the atmosphere continue, sheep in the low¬ 
lands will be in danger of the rot. Turnips, 
but with more foliage than bulb, and grass 
in plenty 3 but where they have capital to 
purchase stock, they cannot entertain very 
sanguine hopes of remuneration for their 
outlay. Markets, both for the live and 
dead commodity, have been progressively 
sinking every week since our last report. 
Thus the farmer and grazier’s sheet anchor 
seems to fail him. The remedy of long 
continued fundamental errors, is unhappily 
equally fatal with the disease.
