MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT, | 
HE feafon fince our laft has ftill continued favourable for the grain crops, and they in 
general, throughout the kingdom, look promifing. The different flight fhowers of rain 
that have fallen lately, have contributed to give them great verdure and ftrength. The 
fallows have likewife been unufually well-prepared, from the weather being fo fuitable for 
fuch operations of husbandry. : 
The average of wheat is 67s. rod. and of oats 19s. 9d. 
beans, are alfo, in moft diftriés, promifing. : 
The want of rain during the laft month, and the extraordinary feverity of the frofs in 
the commencement of it, have, however, been very prejudicial to the hay-crops in moft 
parts of the ifland ; in many places, even among the beft hay-diftri€ts, there is but a very 
indifferent appearance of a crop; and where the grafs has been cut, it is faid to turn out 
very light,—-Hay in St. james’s Market averages sl. 
Pafture-lands have, in moft of the dry gravelly foils, been greatly hurt by the want of 
tain, though the late fhowers have refrefhed them much. 
In Smithfield Market, beef fetches from 4s. 4d. to ss. 6d. 3 mutton from 53. to 5s. 6d. 
and pork from §s: to §s. 8d. 
Turnips, on the moifter forts of foils, have in general a good appearance ; but on the very 
dry ones, they are not fo favourable,

Erratum.—We underftand that our Correfpondent A. F. who, at page 203 of the pre- 
fent volume, complained of the diminution of intereft in a tontine in which he was con- 
cerned, was miftaken in defcribing it as the tontine of the corporation of Dublin. That re- 
fpe€table body has always performed its public engagements with the moft ferupulous good 
faith, and we are fatisfied that the tontine alluded to has no conneétion with the corpora 
tion of Dublin.

Although we have had during the laft month nearly as much rain as we had during 
the months of January, March, April, and May, taken together, yet the changes in the 
barometer have not been confiderable, nor has the mercury been fo low as might have 
been expected, its mean height having been 29.734, which is but 0.044 lefs than the mean 
height of the three preceding very dry months. eh. 
The mean height of the thermometer has been 61°.64, fomething more than 10° greater
