AGRICULTURE.—By accounts from different parts of the ,country, we learn that the hay-harvest has generally commenced, and that the crops are very heavy. In the inland counties the wheat is remarkably fine, znul exhibits the most favourable -.Lp pearance of an abundant crop. Other sorts of grain arc also promising; but warm weather is much wanted. The hop-crops are, in general, luxuriant and healthy. Some sorts of apples and pears have been cut off, but other descriptions are tolerably plen tiful; and it is the general opiuiun, that a great deal of cider and perry will be made. One of the miscreants concerned in the late poisoning of the race horses, at Newmarket, where he had been employed as an under-groom, was apprehended on Wednesday last, at Bristol. He went by one of the stage-coaches to the White Hart in that city, meanly disguised, and enquired his way to Pill. In half an hour after two of the Bow-street Officers arrived at the coach office, and bring informed of his destination, seized him of board a vessel, with a portmantua, containing better apparel than what he wore, and marked with auother name. They , hroneht him back to the White Hart, and collet ycd hi:n to town in a ell:tie...and four. It iz supposed he has been impeached by a man who is in custody on the same account.
