however fil! rather high. Fat Sheep are alfodear. At Smithfield Market on April 26, beef

In North Britain the fpring corns were never committed to the foil under more favourable 
circumftances; the-cold aay weather mentioned in our laft continued to the 1; th current, on the 
evening of which day there fell one of the fofteft and moft genial fhowers ever remembered, 
and fince then the atmofphere has beén moderate and mild. Field labour, having fuffered no 
interiuption. 1s very far advanced ; (a little barley excepted) every thing is fown of the grain 
kind. Land intended for turnip, is generally reduced into fine tilth. The prices of fat cattle 
have deities fomewhat fince the figning of the Definitive Treaty of Peace. The prices of 
grain had alfo dropped; but are rather inclined to look upwards again, particularly that of 
wheat. Good horles ftill continue high priced. On the weftern coatt of Scotland, the fpring 
vhas been indifferent ; 9 weather having retarded agricultural operations.

The ee 2 of rain fallen during this month is equal to 865 inches in depth, 
Since cur laft report, the changes in the denfity of the atmofphere have been very trifling = 
the barometer has not once ftood below change ; ; the average height for the whole month is 
29.895, which is fomewhat higher than the medium height of the iaft. ‘The barometer has 
been higher than we have obferved it for thefe two or three years. 
‘Ehe variations, with regard to the temperature of the air has been more confiderable: the 
difference of heat between the 28th of March at 5 in the afternoon, and the fame hour on the 
2gth was 27° the cold of the latter was attended with a fevere fhower of hail, rain, and fnow. 
‘The mean height of the. thermometer for the whole month is 51°.76 more than ten degIEES. 
greater than it was the laft.month. 
Perhaps a finer feafon for depofiting the grain in the earth was never known in the memory 
of man; the Jabours of the hufbandmen have not once been retarded by rain: twenty-four days 
have been fine, of thefe fixteen were remarkably brilliant; and although the quantity of ‘rain 
fallen has been very fmall, yet it has had a iain ee effect i in promoting the progrefs of veges 
tation.
