sense which the nation entertains of his services. A monument has been voted to his memory. It is a strange coincidence that the death of Lord Keith was announced on the same day; we think he well deserved an association in the honours voted.

Mr. Maberly introduced, unsuccessfully, a plan of finance as a substitute for the sinking fund, the principal feature of which was the purchase of stock by the sale of the land tax. His plan embraced the repeal of the assessed taxes to the amount of 3,200,000l.

ing agriculture, is the growing opinion that the domestic supply is not equal to the demand, and that recourse must ere long be had to importation. The opinion Mr. Whitmore lately gave in the House of Commons to this effect, and the facts by which it was supported, are well known. We may add, that the falling off of the supply to Mark Lane coastways since the last harvest, relatively to the same period in the preceding year, has been very considerable.

AGRICULTURE..

After the departure of the snow, the usual operations of the seasonpreparing the land for the springsown crops, and getting them in were busily going on in spite of the almost continued series of cold and wet weather, when we are again surprised to see the earth thickly coated with its white dress, and the snow still drifting with great violence before a north-wester. This sudden change will still further impede the operations of the field, which are already very backward. In the west of England, hay and fodder are already very scarce; and every where the turnip crop, though less injured than was to be expected, is getting short. The superiority of the Swedes over every other species has been manifested this year, more perceptibly than heretofore; for they have suffered far less than the rest. But the want of early grass will probably be felt with some severity; and stock is certainly much more scarce than has been known of late years. This scarcity, it is thought, will be seen in a higher price of all sorts of meat. The last Smithfield market exhibited a brisk trade, with a little improve ment for beef, which was for 3s. 4d. to 4s. 4d.; mutton was a little lower than the previous market day, say 4s. to 4s. 4d. Wool is also a little improved and more in demand. The capital circumstance, however, affect

Since the commencement of the present year, compared with last, the account exhibits the following results:

Thus the supply has fallen off about one-third. The average supply of wheat to Mark Lane in 1819, was 6000 quarters per week; in 1820, 7000; in 1821, not quite 9000; in 1822, about 9000. The deficiency in the early part of this period, it is conceived, was made up by the prize grain introduced and sold in 1818-19; and the increased supply of the late years is accounted for by the appearance of the English stock, which was displaced by the great influx of the foreign, and which was held over by the grower till forced to sell. Now the supply is found to be something below 7000 quarters per week, it is thought that both these causes are past, and that the country, left to its own growth, will soon need foreign assistance. This is the point most important to be ascertained in the whole agricultural question, for upon it depends all the rest.

The delay in the actual commencement of hostilities, and even a degree of uncertainty whether they would really take place at all, have caused
