-AGRICULTURE. Barley ~-The barley crops not sown in March should be in the ground hylhc middle ol this month. The lalld we suppose to lie as 1)1) ill tile so that vshentwer sown, it ii ^on fhe old ploughing system) ,on the spring-earth. This supposi- I tion is necessary; because, if there had been previous ploughing* in March, or iu'the end of February,The seed should' have been sown then, c'/icepJing, however, turnip land, that ;>roke up at first too rough to be sown, which will sometimes happen. The fanners iu sonic part of the kingdom, -will put oif their -sow- iig till tiie las! week iu this mor.lh. and the irst and-second of May, fur the sake of gain nig tinie. for giving three spring earths but !hey-1<>«e more !>* far from, late sowing, than Iheygzin !IX makint;theirlantl fjae. ,f ver is a-.priipcipnl object, and they had not the land fine- enong-h "beTore, delays must be made; .Hif if so, that can scarcely be owing 11? any hing but bad husbandry; for such events should be had hi view, and the tillage. given before winter, on lands not cropped with plants that s'aud till the spring.. The utmost exertions of good husbandry should-be-made to-recom-iie jarring circumstances, when they cannot be totally prevented. But in the mo- dern system of avoiding spring ploughing^, wiln a care proportioned to the heaviness of the soil, the main reliance is on frosts tor pul- veitifion, and Ihe object is to keep the surface I ■so'gainst!, for the seed to be deposited in it.— It-the ^earner was unfavourable for sowing ;¡ \lrtOV. or, biug' fa vourah!e, the hrtad¡ ',) I do great to allow the operation to be fiiiishe!?" and if weeds appeared fit the lands hid up for barley, it is to be supposed that they were of course destroyed by the sciif- fiers; and this moulh the sowing must be tJ- nished, .whether broad cast or by drilling. in the laiier case, the to the, right breadth of Ihesiilclics shouHlhavehecn I very attentively executed. The young farmer must have it carefully in memory, that at, the summer approaches, wi'ih- hot suns at hit-ervals any-degree of posciong >>r daubing,. ertramp- I ling, ^ec-oniies more "and more 'fata- for the sun binds whatever earth was touched in too wet a slate. This caution has litlle to do with the occupation of sand, much of which wants adhesion to be given it by art; but here, again, if such land has been amply clayed, it will sometimes be apt to set, to bind with heavy rains, so that Ihe temper-of it should always be examined before the teams at season are permiltedio go on it.

To the Editors of the North Wales Gatelle, I G I NTLr.MEN, I have herewith sent you an extract from the charge delivered to the Grand Jury at the I Assizes holdeu at Ely, March 29, 1799, by I Henry Gwellim, Esq. Chief Justice, which is replete with sentiments of sound judg- ement and patriotism. AMICUS. Üt: R present scheme of government, gen- tlemen, is not only happily adapted to the I genius of this country, is not only admirable relatively considered, but is in itself, perhaps the itiost stupendous system of-policy that ever I was devised by human wit. A system like ours, that should combine in itself the benefit •of the three regular forms of government, I which mankind have acknowledged of mo- narchy, aristocracy, and democracy of file one, the few, and the many ? was treated bv the most philosophical historian of ancient Rome as visionary as what we. could never hope to see realized, or, if by accident it should be brought into being, what could never be of long duration. A system thai should unite with the vigour and -energy of a monarchy-, the wisdom, the temper, lhVm-<» deration of an ariskiotaey, and that generous concern for the common interest, thxt disin- terested regard for the cwmrnim welfare, the virtue of a republic that fey combining tut: benefits of, should exclude the evils generally consequent to, each form of is a state which certainly seems rather it) '),;e de- sired, than expected; Gentlemen, I have said, a sysiern that .should combine the benefits of the three forms of government; for it is a political error, leading to very dangerous consequences, to suppose that our system ac- tually combines the three forms of •govern- fnentfhcmsefves: had it been -,B(), it certain- ly could not. have been lasting; three jarring interest's, three powers c.)-ordinale and co- i equal-in the state, must soon have terminated in anarchy and confusion. No; the 'beauty of our form of government, the ingenuity of the contrivance, is, that whilst it nniles the benefits of-each, it is, in itself,, one and sim- ple it i« a 'Monarchy the power, and do minion, and sovereignty are lodged in one only; lie t he King is supreme, the whole of government is carried on hy the King only, and in the King's name; the King only acfrfj in a 1 ? cases not indeed arbitrarily and without control, but under certain checks and limitations. These checks are, that be must act., in all cases, with I lie a-it ice of his subjects in some cases with their consent as well as advice. His power in mailers of le gisiation-ie-quaiified by the consent of his Par i lament, the consti-fuf lonai represent a ti ves'bf the three estates of the realm, of the whole people of his kingdom;; he can make no la w which lliey ha^enot previously thought proper to be proposed to-him, which they do not au- thorize him to. make. His power ill the ex- ecutive part of his government is qualified by the tir/virre of certain counsellors, whom the laws have assigned to him, and who are re- sponsible fo their country for every act which lie does. Thus, while a couYplex effect is pro- duced, the machinery itself is perfectly Jím- while the interests ot all arc provided for, the unify and entierty of the monarchy are preserved: the states a Sect no equalily or the Sovereign though 'hey limit his power, they acknow ledge his supremacy"; the subject is not distracted where I to'ply bis allegiance he lindeth the whole power of the- state -concentrated in one -on-lv he bopctli protection from the Crown,' to use the words of Sir Michael Foster, 1 he pay- eth his allegiance to it in the person of him whom heseeth in lull and peaceable possession of it. He seeth the fountain whence the bless itigs.ofgovernment, liberty,, peace, and plen- ty flow to him, and there he payetb his alle- giance." Beware, then, gentlemen, of all attempts to -make.' any alteration in this most stupend- ous machine 4 beware how you affect to vary its direction, or to abridge it of any of its parts as useless. The attempt to Reform wiii end, most probably, as it is intended it.shouid end, in its ruin. Depend upon iI, Ihe system is so-complete, so perfect within itself," that you cannot strip it of any of its parts without endangering the who!e."

ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, A duet was fought, on Friday, in the vici- nifyof th# Metropolis, by Lord De DuusfalK ville and Sir Christopher Hawkins; but wC arc happy to state that neither received any injury. The latter, we understand, was challenger, and a disagreement relative to fl'0 Borough of Grampound, is assigned its the ca<i;ie. A uian and his wife were recentI3' exectilcd. at Angsburgh for a murder, the discovery "t which, after a long lapse of time, strongly manifests the impossibility ofeltidin g ihe all- seeing eye of Providence.
