Carelul examination will prove to us, that although tbe visible, particles have several indirect effects, of so great importance that they are absolutely necessaiy to soil, still tbe impalpa- ble powder is tbe only portion which directly exerts any influence upon vegetation. This impalpable pow- der consists of two distinct classes of substances, viz., inorganic or mineral matters, and animal and vegeta- ble substances, in all the variuus stages of decompo- sition. A very simple method may be employed to separate thes., tWII dasst's of particles from each other, viz., the impalpable powder anil tbe visible particles; and, in so doing, we obtain a very useful index to the real value of the soil. Indeed, all soils, except stiff clays, can be discriminated in this manner. The gi eater the proportion of the iinpa'atahle matter, the greater, ctettris paribus, will be tbe fertility of tbe soil To effect this separation, <|ie following easy expe- riment may be performed: Take a glass tube about two feet long, closed at one end fill it ahllnt halt lull IIr water, alld shake into a sufficient quantity of the soil to be examined, to fill the tube about two inches from the bottom; then put in t t-(wi-k. ati(t, li;t%,iii shaken tbe tube, well to mix the earth and water thoroughly, ,;ct the tube in an upright position, for the soil to settle down. Now, as the larger particles are of course the heavier, th y fall first, and form the un dennost l?tyt'l* tif the ati(i so on in regular gradation, the inipalatanle powder being the ).?tt? subside, and benee occupying the uppermost portion. 11'111'11 I.y t'xallliuill.tlll r,:lati\'t thil'kl'sS of the variou- layers, and calculating their proportion, yon can make a\?ry accurate mechanical an!)t\is?f the soil." POTATOE PLANTING. —| always plant potatoes earlv in November, choosing u dry day. and have found them succeed exceeding well. I cut my sets in the usual w.iv a week betoie planting, draw tiie drills about two feet asunder, then put ill slimp rottell dung, and plant the sets about one foot apart, and put some dung on them. The early sorts I plant nine inches apart, in r,i%t-s i?i,,iit(-ell t,i .ill.til Ihe drills up to a ridge, which will keep Ili«- sets drv and prevent tbe frost from hurting them. B this method I have potatoes quite ripe the beginning of September, and have bad a most '?'?'P: I can recom- mend the above for small gardens. Correspondent of tn?ndt))('ab?\<'f.'rs'nai)t!<irdHns.— C urt-fsp(m d Hr)tof Fg:DING PuuLTnY.-Proftsor Gregory, of Aber- IIpen, in a letter to a friend, observes "As I suppose you keep poultry, I may tell yoll that it liiis ;ts- certained that if you mix a sufficient -if shel's ui' chalk, w hich they cat greedily, tbey will lay, ceeleris paribus, twice or thrice a; in "ny eggs as before. I A well-fed fowl is disposed to lay a ast number of eggs, but cannot do so without the materials tor the shells, however nourishing in other respects her food maybe. Indeed, a fowl fed on food and water, free from carbonate of lime, and not finding any in the soil, or in tbe shape of mortar, which they often eat off tbe walls, would lay 110 eggs at all with the best will in the world. Lay this to heart, and let me know in spring if the bens lay two, or two for one."

I The Savoyards are noted as the monopolists of our out-ur-ùor:\ music the minstrels of the streets and lanes, the grilldt rs of our extrinsic harmony; hateful are they in the sight of porters of inns at court, and much beloved of little children and nursery- maids frumpbish old maids and bitter bachelors, who have no music in their souls, urive them away from their inhospitable doors; bur tender mothers, with many little ones, welcome them on each returning Saturday with halfpennies, crusts, and cheeseparings, pityingthem, wanderers far from their friends and native land; while circumhabitant infamy and childhood congregate around the smiling minstrel, melted bv the pathetic cadences of "All roundniy bat," or stimulated to saltatory exercitations by the toe-and-heel inspiritii g air of .1 ump Jim Crow." 1 tieir little rotund chubby faces beaming with sinile., the poor grinder, though liungrv, perchance, or cold, responding to their merriment with a hop, skip, and jump, an aecomranying whistle, and a good-humoured gfiu; 'lie iitfectionat-c mothers in the background looking mi with that look ot mingled pride and tenderness, tlie mother's own expression — make a picture we often stop and gaze at, wishing lor the pencil ot a Wilkie. The Savoyards, among whom, by the way, 2re comprised lyrolese, Genoese, Sardinians, and Italians proper, have their ambitions like other men; one is happy in the possession of a white pair of micf,-aiiotiit-,r glorifh d in the tricks of a mischievous monkey; all grades of me- chanical music belonging to them, iiomthe discordant hurdy-gurdy to the orgin imitative of a full band.

 WAR IN THE EAST. For our own part (observes the Atlas) we think the invasion of Affghanistan was both unnecessary and un- just but we must protest against the unfairness of plac- ing the responsibility of a course of policy upon the to which they were urged by the constant din of Russian influence, Russian intrigue, and Russian inva- sion, raised by their opponents —the first false step in which, too, according to our contemporary, was taken ill 1326.

Fear of Russian influence, and a desire for dominion, prompted the Alighan expedition, and one party is quite as guilty in the business as another.

HOUSE OF COMMON'S, FRIDAY,…
HOUSE OF COMMON'S, FRIDAY, APRIL 29. the House went into committee on the Income Tax Bill. Mr. SUARMAN CRAWFORD proposed the omission of the words in the schedule which imposes a tax on income, "from any profession, trade, employment, or vocation." When the amendment was about to be put, Mr. ROEBUCK interposed, as its proposition would place a diffculty in the way of an amendment which he had to propose, namely, that for and in respects of the annual profits or gains from any profession, trade, or vocation, there shall be levied annually, for every twenty-shillings, threepence halfpenny. The difficulty beimr, through a suggestion of Sir Robert Peel's, obviated, by which Mr. Roebuck's amendment obtained precedence, the hon. and learned member argued in favour of his amendment, on the ground that it was unequal, and therefore, unjust, to lay the same amount of tax on industrial income as on landed propt rty. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir R. Inglis, Sir R. Peel, and l,ord J. Russell opposed the motion, which was supported by Mr. Ward. Mr. Labouchere, and Vis- count Ilowiek. The committee then divided, when there appeareil For the amendment. 112; against it, 258.

DUN COM UE commented on the severity of the terms of the reprimand, and declared his belief that Gib- bons had not committed perjury. Sir R. PEEl. vindicated the Speaker, as having fitly and properly discharged the duty laid upon him. After some observations from different memher", the motion was agreed to. Tiie other rders of the day were thea disposed of.— Adjourned. SATURDAY, APRIL SO. The House assembled for the purpose of resuming the adjourned debate on the motion for the discharge of 1\1 r. Mabson, who was committed to the custody of the Serjeant-at-arms by the Committee upon the Southampton election petition. There was a warm discussion in the course of which the Speaker called Mr. Hutt to order for saying that if nny person, in this house or out of ir. should dare to say that he disregarded the obligatirtns of the oath which he had taken, or had done anything as a member of the committee unbecoming his character a-, a man of honour, he would denounce him as a calu nniator and a liar. Ultimately the question was put and carried without a division that the prisoner he discharged, and alter a short conversation, it was ordered that he be ordered to attend the committee oa Monday.
ILAW COURTS AND POLICH OFFICES.…
I LAW COURTS AND POLICH OFFICES. I OFFENCES OF OVERSEERS AGAINST TIIP. REFORM ACT (WALES).—At the sittinl, (If the Court of Queen's Bench on Monday, the case of Roberts v. Jones, involving points connected with the law of elections, was argued before Lord Denman. It was described as an action for penalties for three offences committed against the Reform Act by the defendant, the overseer of a parish in Wales. The offences imputed to the defendant were first, that he inserted ill the list of claimants of the parliamentary franchise some names which ought not to be there; secondly, that the list which he caused to he affixed to the church door, was different from that which he presented to the Revising Barrister; and thirdly, that he omitted from the barrister's list some objections which had been made to the admission of some of the parties therein mentioned. The cafe was tried at Carnarvon before Mr. Justice Williams, and the jury found a verdict for the defendant, upon the ground that his conduct, thohgh irregular and illegal, yet was the consequence of his ignorance and incapacity, anil that he was no*, at all influ- enced by any corrupt or malicious motives. A rule nisi was afterwards obtained for a new trial-, upon the ground that the verdict was against evidence. The court discharged the rule, the 'Lord Chief Justice remarking, with regard to the appointment of assistant overseers, that it ought to he generally known to all persons who were similarly situated, that it an overseer put in his own place a person who is likely to misconduct himself, and who 'subsequently does so in fact, that state of affairs will beconsidertd by the court as evidence of deliberate misconduct upon the part of the defendant himself.

Iu bnch enses verdicts were given for the plaintiffs. MRS. GLOVER THE ACTRI SS. — At the Insolvent Debtors' Court on Tuesday, Juliana Glover, of Cnvent Garden T heatre was discharged. From the schedule of the insolvent it appeared tho.t her deb s amounted to £ 677 8s. 4d. biie had no property, hut debts owing to her to the amount of £ 32. Amongst other causes assigned for her insolvency was the necessity of supporting a nume- rous family. AN INSOLVENT MustCTAX.—At the Insolvent Deb- tors' Court of Monday, Edward Eliason, a teacher of muic, was ordered to be disChhrged. The schfdule of the insolvent showed that his aggregate debts amounted to J-7,558 10s. 4d, of which sum £ 6,33G 13s. 10d, are debts for which consideration has been received. His assets amounted to iC130, for debts owing to him-good, uéld, and doubtful. He derinrl an Income of £ïO per annum from his psofesorship of the Royal Academy. He stated that his insolvency was caused by the heavy expenses attending his speculation of the Concerts d'Ete and ci' H iver, and flls() by I)e d'Hiver, and also by being robbed by his money takers, two of whom he successfully Prosecuted. The heavy rent of the theatre was another accelerating cause of his failure. THE LATE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD'S VALPT.-On Tuesday Nicholas .Suisj# "S hnain brought up at Bo v- street Police Office, but nO facts tending to criminate him were t'stablihed, Mr. Cla'kson again applied to have the prisonr admitted out on ball. Mr. Philips, in reply, said that he wished to know whether a proof of a man's having Z27,000 in his possession which was the property of his late master, was not a strong case. He did not hesitate to say that there was at least treble the sum abstracted from the coffers of the late marquis by the samt party he should therefore .sl< for 't remand for a fortnight. Mr. Jarrline the s¡tri(\ ,ma::istratr, said that if the charge which was stated on Tuesday last had been the only one preferred against the prisoner to day, he should er to.day, he sh,,u l d cert,-iinly have diselkaroel But as another nnd a more serious one was brought against hi in, which was deserving of the strictest investigation, and was much too heavy to permit of his being at large, he should remand him this time for a fortnight; and if Mr. Phillips had not sufficient evidence by that time he would remand him again. CRIMINAL STATISTICS or THE IeTROPOLIS, It appears from the criminal returns, just published by the Metropolitan Commissioners of Police, that the total numher of persons taken in custody hy the London police in the year 1841, amounted t) 68,901. Of this number 36,708 were discharged bv the magistrates, 28,235 were summatilv convicted or held to hail, 4,018 were committed for trial, 3,020 were convicted and sentenced, 618 were acquitted, and there were 375 against whom bills were not found, or who were not prosecuted. We further find that 8,073 persons were apprehended, charged with offences against the person, 244 with offences against property committed with violence, 13,177 with offences against property without violence, 2,134 with malicious offences against property, 80a with forgery and offences against the currency, and 43 6!r> with other offences not included in the before-mentioned classes, making a total of 68,961, of which number 40,353 were males, and 22,603 females. Out of the total number, 5,41B were charned with common assaults, 2,168 with assaults on the police, 1,210 with larceny from the person, 5,108 with simple larceny, 2,090 with misdemeanours with intent to stenl, 1,919 with unlawful possession of goods, 2,082 with wilful damage, 12,795 with being disorderly characters, 15,006 with diunkenness, 4,889 as suspicious characters, and 4,841 as vagrants. linnieniers the gross number of committals seems to be, it is yet smaller than it has been in former years; for it appears, from the carefully prepared tahies before us, that in 1831 the number was 72,824, and that in 1832 it was 77,543. Cuuious CASE OF the Aberdeer, Circuit Court of Justiciary, on Saturday last, Harris Roscnhcr;; and Alilhia Burnett, or Rose.-tbarg, were accused of wilful fire-raising. They cairied on business as furriers in Aberdeen; and on Saturday, the 19th of February, fire was discovered in their shop in Union-street. The police- man, on observing the ifre, went to the prisoner's lodgings, hut it was twenty min tes before the key of the shop could be found, and on opening the shop the back part of it was in dimes. Several lucifer match hoxe., uud some burut rag-s werc found near the place that was binning. The fire was extinguished without much damage being done, I ? ( l otle. A policy of insurance bad been effected for jCI,200 on the goods. From the suspicious nature in which the fire occurred, the piisoners were apprehended. The exami- nation of witnesses occupied the court till half-past seven on Sunday morning. The counsel for the crown Laving addressed the jury for the prosecution, and Mr. C. Ilobertso-: and Mr. Patton, for the piisoners, Lord Moucritf summed up the evidence. The jury then retired; and, after an absence of about half an hour, returned the following verdict — The jury, by a majority of voices, find the prisoner, Harris Rosenberg, guilty of wilful fire-raising as libelled, and the prisoner Alithia Barnett or Rosenberg, guilty art and part, of the said crime but unanimously, and most strongly, recommend them both to the lcniencv of the court, on account of their prvious good character, of their heing- strangers in this country, and also on account of the .rv, aii d u ,?o on ar-?e-,)ur, t of tlii, circums'nces Ullrler w!tü:h this trio:l is concluded." Lord Moncrief 1 hen pronounced an interlocutor, to the effect that be would certify the i-ase to tit, liigli Court of Justiciary, j Tliis finished the business before the court at halt-past i twelve o'clock on Sunday forenoon. [Considering the scrupulous attention which, it is generally supposed, the Scotch people pay to the sanctity of the Sabbath, it appears; odd to 11s at a distance to see court of justicc engaged with such a case on Sunday. We should like to ask some of the divines of the kirk, whether the business ot the sourt is to be set dowa as a work of r4cxvy or ueccs3ity ?]
POISONING CASK NEAR NORTHAMPTON'—…
POISONING CASK NEAR NORTHAMPTON'— COMMITTAL 01.'T?'l?''UPPOSED.?IURDERER. I An inquest has been held on the body of Mrs. Ward, wife of Mr. Ward, miller, of Weekley Mill, near Ketter- ing. Mrs. Ward was 71 years of age, and was in her usual state of health on Monday, 25tli ult., when she ate a small quantity of asparagus with her breakfast, and afterwards complained that she did not feel very well About eleven o'clock she ordercd her servant girl (Sarah Goss), to prepare a basin of milk fur her lunch. The milk was pn-pared, arid on partaking of it she observed that it had a nasty taste, and inquired of the girl what she had done to it. She replied "he had done nothing to it. Whilst tins conversation was going 011, Mrs. Ward, jun.. wife of Mrs. Ward's eldest sun;a farmer t a mile distant, called in to see her mother-in-law, and the mother comphined to her that the milk she was eatini had not a right taste. The daughter tastpd it, and said she did not perceive anything particular in the tast;1, upon which the old lady continued to partake of it, but after a shoit time she said she was sure that it was not right, for it burned her stomach though it was now cool. Mrs. Ward, jun., again ate several spoonfuls, and now felt the same burning sensation. They both soon Iwcamc sick, and a man was immediately sent for Mr. Wymau, surgeon, of Kettering, who attended as quickly as possi- ble. He had recourse to the stomach pump, at the sime time supplyitig the patients copiously ith warm water. At the earliest stage of the affair Mr. Wvman had sus- picion that all was not right, and inquired what had be- come of the contents of the stomach evacuated before his armal, ami the remainder of the milk ir. the h,tson? The girl replied, that the milk had been thrown into the panchcon. for the cats, and the vomitings she had emptied down the drain. Mr. Wyman told her that she bad 110 business to do any thing of the sort till he had seen them. He immediately filled a bottle from the pancheon. and saved in other bottles portions of what was brought up by the stomach pump. The old lady lingered till five o'clock, when she expired. Mrs. Ward,Juzi., has not quite reco- vered. The J ury have pronounced a verdict of" Wilful Murder" against Sarah Goss, who is committed.
THE PRICE OF MEAT UNDER THE…
THE PRICE OF MEAT UNDER THE NEW II TARIFF. Mr. M'Culloch has written some consolatory memoranda to a bucolic friend, to prove that the new Tariff will not lowrr the price of meat, but only prevent its increase. The Chrol/icle accepts this publication with gratitude, as a seasonable contribution disarming opposition to the Tariff; but it it disarm opposition, it must also to the same degree, diminish the motives for the support of the Tariff. Sir Robert Ptel has promised that a reduction in the cost of living shall compensate, or more than compensate, for the burden of the Income Tax, but the first assurance to smooth the way for his measure of relief is, that it will not lower the price of the main article. If Nlr. NI-Ctilloch be right, what is to be thought of Sir Robert Peel and his pledges ? But thouirh we believe that the reduction to be expected from the Tariff has been very much exaggerated, both by Sir Robert Pet-1 and a portion of the public, it by no means follows tl at Mr. M'Culloch must be rinht iu bis calculation that prices will remain what tliey are, and reckon on some reduction, though not of any such magnitude as to realize Sir Roheit Peel's promise of a set-off vo the Income Tax. It is prohable that there will he a tall in prices, which will be but temporary, from the first drafts from the foreign countries which have now any stock to spare, but when that stock is drawn "ff the price will rise, and it will he some time hefore the supply can be increased by breeding. Mr. M'Culloch favours his bucolic friend with what the Scotch call as cree>. of dl)ctri¡¡e" RS to the i¡¡operatl\eness of restrictions for the creation of artificial prices For a lengthened period the belief has been general, that the prices of corn, beef, and all soi ts of provisions in England are wholly artificial, and that, provided the restraints on their importation were abolished, they might be obtained for a half or a third pnit of their present price. In point of fact, however, there is no real foundation for any such opinion and those who take the trouble to in(juireinto the facts will certainly find that the fears of the agriculturists, and the expectations of the manufaci ui im: and commercial classes in respect to the losses and benefits to be derived fiom the relaxation or total abolition of the existing restraints on importation, are alike visionary and unfounded." As these propositions are quite unqualified, it would then seem to be Mr. M'Culloch's opinion that if foreign corn were entirely prohibited, no artificial price would be created. In another passage the same luminous teacher says — But then it may be asked, if you be riirht in these statements, if the proposed measures will not reduce the price of provision. "hy interfere with ex istinn arrange- inents ? Why not "let well alone?' To that question I might reply by asking, has not the importation of cattle from Ireland been of vast advantage, though it has not had the slightest influence over prices ? The pruposed measure will not hirer the price of bu'eher^s meat, but it will prevent its further increase, and enable provision to be made for the wants of out rapidly increasing pol tilation. It will also have the good effect of undeceiving the pllhdc, of proving to the conviction of every individual, that the price of butcher's meat iu this country is w hat Adam Slllith would call its natural and necessary price, nnd that it has not been sensibly affected by restrictive refutations." Thus in one breath Mr M'Culloch tells us that it is a I mere prejudice to suppose that restrictions can artificially raise prices, but the oext instant he asserts that it is good to remove tnern to prevent tht increase of prices, and to enable provision to be made for the wants of all population.

THE KING OF THE FRENCH AND…
THE KING OF THE FRENCH AND THE MAR HIAGE OF THE QUEEN OF SPAIN. The i npropriety nnd absurdity of treating the marriage of the Young Q'Ieen of Spain as the subject of a premature negociation amongst the great powers of Em ope, have hitherto deterred us from adverting to it at length. But the reports which have been accredited, more suo, by one of our contemporaries, and the certainty that the French government have thought fit to make an official com municatiou to the other courts with respect to this event, induce us to express a more decide opinion on the present position of this delicate affair. If the King of the French had confined his instructions to M. Pageot to the sole object of disclaiming the intention of marrying the Queen 01 Spain to one of his sons, the mission of that gentleman and the language of the French cabinet would have given a satisfactory explanation on a point of some importance. It must, however, be borne in mind, that such a marriage is utterly destitute of all chances of success there is no party in Spain which would promote or endure it there is no ally of the Queen's government which would encourage it and the only proposers of such a scheme are the members of that fugitive camarilla, which has transported its plunder and i's plots to the neighbourhood of the Tuileries. In making this declaration, therefore, Louis Philippe has done no more than engage himself not to do what he had no means of effecting; and thus far M. Pageot's mission was a mere work of supererogation. But his instructions went further he was sent to convey to the Biitish cabinet, and subsequently to those of Vienna and Berlin, the expression of a resolution on the part of the French King that the Queen of Spain shall marry a Bourbon, accompanied by a direct menace that France will consider the contradiction of another alliance as a cjusa belli. It is perfectly competent to Louis Philippe, as a father and as the King of the French, to declare that one of his sous, being a French prince, shall not marry the Queen of Spain hut we are entirely at a loss to conceive what right the French government have to impose any limitations or restrictions whatsoever on the marriage of Donna Isabella with any other prince. France had, undoubtedly, the power (so long as she had an ambassador at the court of Madrid) to express her predilection for any particular alliance which the Queen of Spain may form but to lay dov.11 the law on the subject of the marriage of a foreign sovereign is an assumption which would scarcely be endurable to an allied or a subject people, and which will not he submitted to for one instant by a people as hostile to French, and indeed n1 foreign, influence as the Spanish nation. Queen Isabella can hardly be regarded as a marriageable princess until she shall have attained her majority, which period is fixed by the constitution of Spain at the age of fourteen. It is improbable that the present regency of Spain will attempt to use its temporary authority for the purpose of concluding an affair of such extreme importance to the future years of the Queen's reign but on the accession of the regency, Queen Isabella is as free to decide on her marriage as Queen Victoria. It may be the part of au ally to give advice to a Sovi reign placid at so early an age at the head of a disturbed nation, under circumstances of peculiar difficulty; but to attempt to dictate to the Queen of a proud and independent people to attempt to frighten the allies of that Queen from what they may conceive to be the right course-is as uuinanly as it is impolitic.

A legislative enactment, directing the payment made under every written contract to be reduced according to the proportion which theaverase prices of wheat, under the new Corn-bill, may, at the time of making such pay- ment bear to it, average price at the time that such contract was formed, so that such payment may he of the same value as was originally intended and agreed to by tne parties. -I I

The o-.ost simpleme. tiiod of getting good strong plants |.s hy taldn off the young shoots with roots and planting them siiiriy i,, small pots (CD's), taking CRre to surround the of each with a little sand; if the young shoots have no roots, tbey will soon form them in these circumstances The pots should then be put into a close frame ami kept shaded during sunshine until they have, tormed oots for their support. Alter being struck, tbey can he grown Ollt of doors all the summer, and only broug-ht into the house when the lfowers begin to expand in autumn. A vinery or peach-house, after tbe fruit is athered arlit the Icaves off, might be filled with these plants, and thus they might be lfowered in perfec- tion, without any extra expense. There is nothing so easily grown which is so well fitted to orna- ment the greenhouse and sitting-room in winter, for, having stems which die nff every fseason, they can he subjected to any kin(I of treatment without sustaining periiiiiii(!t)t lrlj,,ry. I'liree ,r four years a,) %-ei- ,y fine sorts were sent over from Jersey, many of them having the flowers finely curved, but almost all light- coloured; mixtures of white, rose, and lilac. The prettiest of these are named forinosum, lacidum, ves- ta, eclipse, defiance, queen, beauty, and Goliath the last-named produces very large flowers. Subse. quently, Mr. Saltei sent from France some fine dark varieties, which flowered in several collections last autumn, and formed a fine contrast with the lighter kinds. The best of these are Due de Canegliano, fiery rtark red, sometimes tipped %viti, (,anl)?s- troni, d;ii,k INI;iri,, bri]¡t r(?ti; grand Na- poleon, daik %,el%,ety I)Llff and red; Gouviou St. (yi, dark oiaiigc; Flechier, crimson; Minerva. cream and rose; Princess Maria, large rosy lilac; and Col- Combes, rosy salmon.

M:d.- BK..ET8. WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORK MARKET. (From the M/t k Lone Expiless.) We have had very warm dnvs and cool nights during the week, with tbe win l varying fioin north rat to southeast, and the atmosphere highly absorbent; vegetation has con- sell'lently sur!"e.d m"e or less from drou:!ht, partIcularly spring-sown corn of ad descriptions; no injury. which a plentiful fall of moisture would not remedy, has however yet been done and, as there are at present indications of a change, we trust that any fears on this point may soon be relieved mean while, it must be acknowledged that the reports respecting the appearance of the wheat on the gri.tind me far from favourable, (though the plant has no doubt been benefited b\ the late rise in the temperature) 1 that sown early in the autumn presents an indifferent [ aspect, having mostly been committed to the ground under very inauspicious circumstances, the soil being then satllrated with moisture: that sown about February is better spoken of, but we think it will require an unusually fine season :o produce a good crop. Spring Corn has, we beiieve, been generally well got in, but genial showers are now greatly wanted to push the plant forward. The trade in grain has remained in an extremely dull state at all the principal provincial markets held during the week, and the ddiverie, from the farmers having rather increased, prices hive given way. The chief cause of the want of activity is. unquestionably, the alteration in the Corn Laws- but even this is. we think, producing somewhat more than its uue effect, fur even if the dll'y were at once to be reduced 1Lluch below what it can possibly (in the first instance) be, the ..tock in bond is not so overwhe.ming as to account for tiit oanic which has so long prevailed in the trade. It is far fr.'m probable, however, that importers will im- mediately e.^ter their wheat fo<- horn- consumption, the present positioit of the averages holding out a fair promise of a gradual decline in the duty. The last general weekly return for the kingdom, published on Thursday, was 60s. 7d., or 9d. per qr. higher than that for the week preceding; whilst the Loudon average of Friday, 63s. 8d., shows a rise of 2s.id. per qr. This enhancement in the averages has not been caused so 1D.:ch by any advance in the price, '?t V and condition con- as by the intrinsic rise in tht. quality aod coudltion COD. sequent on the drying wiulIs e^erience'!? since the cotn- t inencement of the month of April, and this /.mproveinent still continues to go on. From our Scotch 811,1 Inh letters we perceive that the weather has been of a sial. character in those couotiies as with us. and that rnia was liegimuug to De much wanted on the whole, however, the reports respecting the manner t.. whieh spring sowing had been finished, are highly satisfactory. The dread of the IVew Corn Bdl had had the sa.ne influence on business in those parts ol the Empire as with us, and prices of most articles had tended downwards at the leading iiiarkets. 1 be arrivals of English wheat into the port of London have Ileen tolerably gOnJ since our last, 5,898 qrs. having been I reported up to thi" (Saturday) t vet iog the greater j I o. tion of This su, ply consisting, however, of parcels shipped some time back, and most of which had been sold by sample previous to arrival, the show at Mark Lane was scality, as well on Wednesday as on Friday. Tht; very best qualities have heen taken slowly by our millers at a >out the rates of MOlldjy last, but to have made any progiess in the disposal of secundary descriptions, less money must have been accepted. The demand for duty- paid foreign wheat has throughout the week been ex- cessively slow; indeed so little has been done in the article that quotations can at present oftly be regarded as nominal. the Corn mportation Bill received the Royal Assent on Friday, and as many buyers have been waiting for this event until they have become bare of stocks, we should not he surprised to see a tew country purchasers in town iu the course ot next week.
