"FEB• Q• MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. The appearance of the wheats, rye, winter tares, kept grass-land, every species of winter crop, is held universally to-be equal in goodness, to that of any season within memory. The turnips last beyond ex pectation. Bean setting has commenced upon a very good tilth in ge neral. Ploughing and preparing the lands for the spring sowing was the material business : but the use of spring wheat does not appear to gain ground; the farmer depends . more upon an autumnal crop, whenever his land is ready for wheat. . ..• • Straw fodder, and particularly• hay, very plentiful; cattle chiefly con fined, with some exceptions , to t he fold-yards . The ewes, in many parts, unsound ; and s to re shee p in a rotting state, upon undrained grounds : the unseasonable warmth of the autumn may have, in some degree,- contributed to this. . . The last year's crop of wheat is likely, by all accounts, particularly , from the North, to turn out greater than was at first -expected, and its progress to market has been much facilitatec4by the now-common use of the . threshing-machine. This accidental piece_ of,good fortune ought, by no means, to rendee.iis indifferent to those fad measures in the extension .of the culture of waste lands, whiCkareabiolinelyand imperiously necessary.. Stoppage. of the Corti distill - cry,' by . reducing the' price of * soft corn, will have a very .lp fa;routili effe.et upon the breeding and fattening of pigs, and cattle in general. . A boxing match between Ballard , and Sthith, for a 'slake of twenty guineas, and a subscription purse of ten guineasrtook place - on - Wednes-. day, at Coinbe Wood, near Kingston.. Caleb Baldwin, was second to Ballard, and Paddingtenlones to Smith. At. the fourth • round Smith 'i'vas brat without a hit of any conseiiuence, although he managed to stand up fourteen minutes. . • . .„ A second battle was fought between two .pugilists, the former named King, one of the best.eleven stone men; and the latter a plant, from Bristol, named Ford, of tremendous power and-action. It was one of the best contested battles ever . observed. King was the favourite at set ting to; but the courage and knowledge of punishing by Ford , van uished the former's science • although he fought with the cou ra g e of Crib or Gully. The battle 'lasted forty minutes. Ford reminded the amateurs of the invincible Pearce, the Game. Chicken. Like the Chicken, he possessed little science, and disregarded punishment; he was always hitting with his man, and his blows were planted right and left with tremendous force. A pitched battle was fought on Pittrm Common., near Farnham, on Wednesday, between Green and Hamerton, two stout novices, for a wager of ten guineas. It lasted two hours and ten minutes, during which above sixty knock-down blows were given. Hamerton won the match, but both-were hit senseless. Sunday evening last, a and between three and four years old, be longing to - Mr. Dell, wheelwright, of Reading, without being observed b its arents, unfortunately drank out of a tea-kettle which was full of boiling water, and was so dreadfully scalded that it died on the follow ing day. A man, named John Bunton, was lately committed to the City Gaol, at Norwich, for burglariously entering the premises of Messrs. Aggs, in the night, and stealing some twist cotton. The conductor of the maim factory has a daughter, who superintends the department performed by women, and sleeps in a room adjoining. She was awakened by a noise; when, slipping en a great coat that laid in her room, she ran to her father's chamber who not being dressed with sufficient speed, she snatched.up a large h ammer,' and went alone, in the dark, into the manu factory, where she perceived Bunton taking the twist cotton from the loom. She instantly struck him on the-back of the head with the ham mer, and on hfs turning about repeated the blow upon his forehead with such effect, as to bring him to the - ground covered with blood. Appre hending he might have accomplices, .she shrieked, which brought her father to her assistance, and they secured - the robber. ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES. • Gawler, the Navy-Office Clerk, was taken on the 9. 8t h ult. at New castle. He had left London for that place in a collier, the Captain or which, suspecting him, gave information to the Mayor, who directed . him to be secured.

Her distracted husband came out of the house just time enough to be a spectator of the horrible scene. The lifeless body was immediately conveyed to the Golden Anchor public-house, for the in. quest of a Jury.
