MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. . 
FPHE weather in the preceding month has been, upon the whole, favourable to vegetation; 
the Wheat, winter Tares and early-fown {pring Corn look flourifhing and well; and the. 
{now did not impede the operations of hufbandry. The farmers in -moft of the forward dif- 
tri€ts have nearly finifhed fowing their barley and grafs feeds. 
Turnips have remained to the end of the feafon, found and good 5 the Swedifh kind res 
markably fo, affording an immenfe quantity of fucculent and nutritious food; and teo much 
Mesatida cannot be paid to this excéllent and valuable root, as a late crop ae ewes and lambs 
and feeding fheep, on which they wiil thrive till tares, clover, and grafs feeds, are ready to 
receive them. 
In the Ifle of Ely, the fens were laid under water by the fnow, which fell in March, and 
ptevented the farmers from fowing their Oats fo early as is cuftemary with them. The 
Cole-feed for the2p is nearly done; that which ftands for feed looks pretty well. On the 
high lands the wheat looks promifing, and Beans and Barley have been. fown; and in the 
low parts the feafon has been unfavourable for lambing: a good many ewes, as- well as 
lambs, have been loft. Wheat averages throughout England and Wales, 74s. 4d, Pee 
quarter; Barley, 55s. i0d.5 Kye, 46s. id. 
The Graffes, both idea and artificial, have lately impr roved much; and the Meadows 
and Paftures in the inland counties, whith are in tolerable condition, and particularly thele 
for many miles around tie mietropolis, appear beautiiully thriving, green, and luxuriant. 
"The late dry weather has afforded an opportunity of top diefling with foot and athes, the 
Ciover and Wneats,, and ro: ling ail the young growing crops. 
There has been, at the late fairs, no fcarcity of lean flock, which fill maintain great 
prices, as alfo do ftore fheep, ewes, and lambs. 
Cows and calves. are much in demand, and at high prices. | Pigs of all forts are both y, 
fearce and dear. In Sip oe Market Beef fetches from 3s. 10d. to 5s. 8de per ftone of 8lb 5 
Mutton from 3s. to 5s. Sd. 5 and Pork, 5s. 8d.

The quantity oF rain fallen this-month is very trifling Be being equal ese to the fractional ’ 
part of an inch in he eight 5 3 we fhall therefore refer the exact-meafure to our next Report. 
The temperature of the weather has been varishle but low, the average! height of the- 
thermometer having been for the whole-month under 45°. The north wnd north-eafterly 
winds have been feverely felt, and of long continuance: from thofe points the wind has blown 
22 days out of the 31. Five days it has fnowed, and on one, namely the 4th ink. there was a 
confidezable quantity on the ground. " 
On the 19th, from eight till half paft ten A. M. we experienced in the metropolis, and on 
the north fide ar it, a yery heavy! fog, which rendered the atmofphere fo dark as to make_ 
the aid of candles abfolutely neceflary. At the Old-Bailey, the candles were lighted before 
the court could proceed to bulineis, nor were they d {mified till the time above referred to.
