AGRICULTURAL REPORT,

FOR JUNE.

The unexampled mildness and serenity of the weather has conduced much to the termination of the hay-harvest, but the general complaint throughout the Kingdom is want of rain-The parched lands, especially in the light districts, display a most melancholy prospect, the corn is in many instances entirely destroyed, and the second crop of upland hay, which it was expected would be most abundant, now promises an utter failure. The fen-lands in Lincolnshire and in the neighbourhood of Ely, however, exhibit the appearance of unusual abundance, and the season is reckoned amongst the speculating farmers to be highly propitious for the Talavera wheat. The markets are still falling, and, in our opinion have not yet found their levels.

The exertions made by his Majesty's Government to lessen the burdens which press so heavy on the farmers, must be a cause of sincere congratulation to every one who has the real interest of his country at heart. The jacobinical clamour of whiglings and radicals are too despicable to cause a moment's uneasiness to the real patriot. We shall not, however, here dilate on so disgusting a subject, but leave the revolutionist to the gratifying, enviable reflections of his own rancorous heart-being well assured that the country is gradually recovering from the deleterious effects of a long war, and that agricultural interest will soon revive under the fostering care of our noble, patriotic, and enlightened administration.

Why do you not respond in poetry?
Asks Lady Scribelina Philamuse;
To please our sweet rebuker we will try,
Tho' Pegasus is rather out of use.

Ye tuneful Nine! on such a weighty matter,
Aid and assist with all your richest powers;
Nor niggardly your valued favours scatter,
But fill with harmony this head of ours.
First to the sex we pay our grateful thanks
For favours numerous both good and bad;
Daughters of Mona-vulgate yclept Manks,
Your kindness in remembrance aye is had.
What tho' the regal sceptre We refuse,

'Twas that we could not leave the Brighton well;
We trust you then will let us stand excused-
Such offices are incompatible.

α B ♥

Salopiensis, Alpha, Beta, Gamma,

And all the Græcian alphabet, in course,
Already make old Christopher North stammer,
Of late his numbers lack their wonted for ce.

Weak, pointless, lustreless, impoverishëd,
His poesy appears, compared with our's;

What sweeter harmony can e'er be wished,

Than Mountain Musings, or the Heathery Flowers

Which greet us from the North-there's Wordsworth too--
At least a better man--and G-- and P:

In fact, what is there not that's worth a goo--
-se-berry? Lord what witty rogues are we!!!
Then, too, for prose-who ever saw such writing?
Keen and facetious-a la F* Addison;

The world would think the ancients were inditing,

We mean--Steele, Hawkesworth, Goldsmith, Sam Johnson.

There's Cantab, how he tickles up Lord Byron Noel;
E. C. the enlightener on Memnon's Head,

On ancient Egypt no man can write so well,
The Zodiac Signs are all unrivalled.

M'Quyllyam's essays nemo non miratur,
They prove at once that he's a jolly rogue;
The Jesuit too is a facetious cratur';-
In sooth we know not which is most in vogue.
The Cambridge Letters every one peruses
With admiration, they're so full of life;
Then for critiques-pɛu! pɛu! no one refuses,
To us the palm, then wherefore all this strife.
Farewell our friends, readers and writers Vale,
We're tired, and so are you, we should opine;
In No. IX. we trust again to hail ye,

Till then farewell, your's aye, SOUTH PEREGRINE.

We have received a somewhat peevish epistle from Mr. Ambrose Barber, complaining that the poem which we inserted in page 94 of our last number, is different from that to which the Newdigate prize was adjudged, and of which he is the author. We are very happy to hear this: for we confess we thought that " Palmyra" as we copied it, and as we believed it to have been written, would make but a sorry figure by the side of the "Dying Gladiator" or the " Apollo Belvidere." As Mr. Barber has not been good enough to inform us in what particulars the poem which we copied is erroneous, our readers and ourselves must still remain in ignorance for how much of of it that gentleman is answerable. We hope, however, that anxiety on this important subject will disturb neither their repose nor ours.

CUVIER ON THE THEORY OF THE EARTH.

[Continued from p. 11.]

§ xxiv. The high importance of investigating the Remains of Quadrupeds in particular.

THERE are several reasons why this study should lead to more important results than that of any other organized bodies.

1. They more clearly indicate the nature of the revolutions, being much more precise. Their appearance proves that the bed where they are found has been dry, inundated, and 'dry again. Thus we learn the important fact of repeated irruptions of sea upon the land, and by a careful investigation we hope to ascertain the number and epochs of these irruptions.

2. The revolutions must have exercised a more powerful action upon terrestrial quadrupeds than upon marine animals. If the irruption was general, the entire class of the former would have been destroyed; but this does not follow of the marine animals.

3. It is more easily ascertained, because the number of the species of land animals which now exist is so much better known.

§ xxv. Small probability of discovering new Quadrupeds.

We have reason, on the first view of the subject, to think that all quadrupeds are not yet discovered, for new species have been discovered from time to time; consequently, it is easy to say that the unknown fossil remains which are discovered belong to VOL. II.
