The followi anecdote of this meet revered and lamented man, has come to us frost a very respectable quarter. We give it publicity with the more pleasure, that it not only tends to illustrate the mou enrol Clire lirll4llCPSof his death hut caste an affecting end ennobliag light on the m or a l excellencies of his diameter.. It wilt, perhaps, be asked, what anecdote of his fife would nut tend to make his memory more esteemed, and Iris loss more regretted? He commenced his career at the Bar, a ruing wan, liberally, educated, with those high prinoiples of honour, and that susceptibility of amiable and generous sentiment, which distinguished his life, but without placenta fortune, and, still more, with both his parents de pends's' upon his professional success. In this situation, he i t emise acquainted with a young Lady, the charms of whose mind sad person won his affections. Hisconduct was worthy of his head and his heart, He declared his sentiments to the object of his affertions • bust added, that he must " acquire two fortunes" before th eyi could he married t the first for those to whom be owed his first duty—his parents ; the second fur her. The Lady knew how to appreciate his merit and his motives, and their vows were mentally pledged to each other. He catered upon his career of profit and honour with drat assiduous energy which forms a thief feature of genuine talent. In a comparatively short period he realised a consi derabte suet, and with it purchased an annuity for his parents. Having put them in possession of this provision for their byes, he formally declared to them, that his obligations to them were now fulfilled, and he was about to enter into other relations, which must exclusively govern him in their hum.— Se began a second time with fresh spirit—acquired " au. mind fortune"—all within a very few years—settlettit upon her on whom he had bestowed his heart, and married her.— To lose Lady Romilly after an attachment so formed, and after years flown away in tranquillity of domestic joy, dim. barbed only by the splendid pursuits of ambition, syuonstuous with virtue, was one of those shucks which must be left, nude fined, to the imagination of ands as know what it is to feel. History will say of Sir Samuel Hominy, that lie died uncor. refitted by wealth—undrszled by rank—unblemished by ain iiition—unvulgarisud by 1101111141 ity—admired by his adver saries—and even unvililied by the base. His place at the Bar—in the Senate—in the country, is vacant, and it will remain so. We understand, that when Mr. Maybrey, the surgeon, en tered the room, Sir Samuel was still alive, and looked earnestly at Mr. Maybrey t and after the lapse of a few minutes, his eyes grew dim, lie fainted away, and expired. It was after he did the fatal act, that lie expressed a wish to write a let. ter ; and the sheet of paper, and peu and ink, were given to him by his attendant. MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. The long continuance of a warm, genial, and, in its happy effects, vernal season, has universally changed the appearance of the country, and nearly put an end to all solicitude on the score of winter provision. The quantity of after-grass is not Only far, beyond ordinary years. but of far better and more nourishing quality, partaking. in a considerable filigree, of the nature of spring grass; whence it is to be toped, that it will have no tendency to cause the rot in sheep, as has been ap. prehended • on the contrary, it may be expected to forward cattle of allkinds so materially, that good Christmas dinners may be expected by all those who have money to purchase them. Even the poorest grass-lands have produced an un common after-crop, and the quantity and make of the rowels* upon the best is highly satisfactory. The finishing cut of Levan*, in Kent, so little cultivated elsewhere. and insuf ficiently there, has been wonderful. Of seeds, the reports are not so favourable. The early sown turnips ate improved to the utmost possible deg ee ; those sown in the autumn are equally fortunate. but no great expectious can ever be realized front latter sown routs. Swedes are scarce, and in general the turnip runs too much to top, and the present is not the season for twenty-pounders. 'Flte price of hay is necessarily reduced. Turnips and potatoes may be probably estimated at three quarters of a crop. the latter heing made up to the demands by importation. The quality of potatoes indifferent; the latter ones, hard. Fodder will be scarce in the winter, and roots ought to be economized, in Conte tin.. of continued frost. which may leave the improvident cattle.keeper in great snails. Meat must inevitably be dear in the spring, nor can there be bto many cattle stalled a. usual. By letters from the Bishopric of Distimin, perhaps the most backward part of England, with respect to the corn• harvest, wheat was aloottil, uncut, ou the 20th nit. Gleaning has been somewhat too good this year, front the dryness of the grain. Harvest nearly finished throughout Scotland, and plenty of corn, but the oats du not yield to expectation. On the crops genertsoly, calculators have been sumewhat too sanguine, as seems to lie indicated by the state of the markets, which might have been alarmingly high had the ports closed earlier. Wheat-sowing is finished in the best and forward districts, the clays working like garden nioulds in an admirable style for the drill, which is amuttally increasing on English ex perience.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER; BiINX FORGERIES. We extract the following curious details from the postscript to a pamphlet, just published by Mr. C. W. Williams : The following circumstances have occurred in my own person, and, being strongly illustrative of the necessity of alteration and amendment in Bank notes, as well as couch,. sive of thBemiscientionniew- a fallibility on the part of the Bank an din tinguishing between genuine and forged notes, I cannot omit mentioning them here. " Having found some difficulty in passing zone pound note which was somewhat torn, though by no means defaced or obscured, I took it=to the Bank to get it eachanged. Not only the note, but myself, were conned over in a manner not very agreeable in a public o ffi ce. After considerable delay, and es• animation by several clerks and their several inspectors, I was desired to take it to the " one and two pound note office." We there underwent a further scrutiny by two clerks, who appeared somewhat embarrassed as to their proceeding. I was informed. "it could not he examined inunedietely, and would take some time," and asked if I was in a hurry t I inquired if it were a good or a bad note ? Sonic unimportant observations were made touching the date, which was alleged to be rather obscured. I observed, I had nothing to do with that, or what ,night be necessary after I was gone. The clerk said that " something was neceasary—that he must examine if that member was written of." I stein added, I had no right to be delayed on such ground; the only question in which I was concerned being, was it aped ore bad tots ? It was bow ever in vain. I then begged lie would do what was needful, observing that it had already engaged me a considerable time ; —he politely apologised, but it was necessary. He returned in ton miscues, having written on the note " oth May, 1810," and his initials, desiring me to take it to the person who sent me there, and he would exchange it. I did so, and was again examined and delayed, and even required to write my fume dad address oaths mate. Finally, after having been sent from one clerk to another, until I had passed the ordeal of four clerks, with their four assistants, I received a new note in exchange. The whole occupied thirty five minutes by the Bank clock. "The note here alluded to being an old note, some justifi. cation might perhaps he urged. In the following, however, even this plea was taken away : " Some days after, being desirous of exchanging a ten pound note for small ones, with the view of being secured at least in this case from forgeries, I stepped into the Bank, nut conceiving it would be but a moment's affair, the note being quite owe. One clerk (cashier) received it, examined it by a table which hung up at his side, and which appeared to be a list of numbers, with corresponding dates, or perhaps a list of the numbers and dates of ascertained forgeries. Al all events, au appeal was made to this table. This clerk tore off the signature, and handed it to his inspector, who also exa mined it ; and having decided in his own mind on its genuine ness, wrote his initials in red ink across the note. It was then returned, and I was desi.ed to go lower down. There I waited a considerable iiine, as it is necessary to claim, as the phrase is, that is, call out one's turn to he served. I was here required to endorse my name and address; this was really too lu ; the note was newt I observed it was payable to bearer. I declined. I was not positive as to the person from whom I had received it. I gave my name, but did not whit' to be responsible beyond the possession.— The clerk was somewhat offended, and observed that if the note was my own, why should I refuse to put my name on it? I asked if lie would undertake not to come on me should the note turn out forged hereafter e He said that was impossible. 'flue inspector had said it was genuine, did 1 not see he had marked it? I observed it might be forged, as in the case of Mr. Hammond. He expressed his ignorance of that case, and treated the matter as false. I retired and went to Mr. Hammond, in Bishopagate-street. Mr. Hammond thought I might have put my name on it, as their only object was to prevent fraud. I asked was it true, as he had stated, that the clerk and inspector endeavoured to recover the value of the 101. forgery taken from him, even asserting that the former would loose his situation, if it were nut repaid ? Mr. Hammond said yes, but that he was not so absurd an to pay it, and never did. I returned to the Bank, mentioned the fact. again requested payment, on the specific grounds that 1 was not positive whether I had received the note of my banker or not : and that it wonlvl save me the trouble of going to the west end of the town; or ou an understanding not to re-demand payment If it proved a forgery. " My good Sir," said the clerk, " yon are giving yourself a great deal of minecesaary trouble." I begged to say, I was the best judge 11f the degree of risk I chose to ruts. Finally, I was obliged to ascertain if it had been actually received from my banker, and who, having made himself responsible to me, I esi doused the note, and the following day it was exchanged at the Bank. The delay and inconvenience was truly dis tressing. Many persons in the office exhibited dissatisfac tion at the ire r they were also inconvenienced. Impatience and irritation were indeed loudly expressed by many.— Let the reader Wile WS not experienced it imagine villa tax upon time, what an expense, even to the Bank, what a gratuitous alienation of ',untie feeling ! Let the Diseetors examine this department ; let them go ineoguito, and judge fur themselves. Thus the Pimple exchange of a note, re qniring the examination os so many tiro ks—the agency of so inaity inspectors—the scrutiny of another office—the appeal to the ledgers—the loss of sa much time—and above all, the ultimate indecision on the putt of the Batik, and the taint retnaining ou the note, to the embarrassment ta' the bolder, who, perhaps, in the interval loses his security. These two eases, in the Bank of Ireland, would not have occupied the time one would take to cross the office.
