N.B.-The Observations are made twice every day, namely, at eight o'clock in the morning, and eight o'clock in the evening. The morning observations in the first column are made on the Register Ther THE labours of the husbandman have met with little or no interruption since our last. The severe frosts in winter, followed by dry weather, and frequent nightly frosts in the spring months, rendered harrowing clay lands a more easy process than it has been for many years past. In the west country, and towards the Highlands, heavy falls of snow and sleet, about the beginning of the present month, were rather unfavourable to the operations of seedtime, but even in the latest districts the oat seed is nearly in the ground, and in general the whole spring seeds have been got in under the most favourable circumstances. Near large towns early potatoes were planted in the field between the middle and end of March, and planting of late potatoes has already commenced in low lying, or early situations. On high grounds fallow wheat looks rather shy, but in general the appearance is flattering, and the good effect of the late passing showers is quite visible on wheat and clover fields. On humid soils sown grass has been partially thrown out by the spring frosts. On dry lands the plants stand thick, and have the earth settled to their roots by the roller. Turnips are over almost every where, and great numbers of half fed sheep are at present offered to the butcher at prices inferior to those at which they were purchased in autumn. The failure of the turnip crop has also reduced the profits which the farmer should derive from the feeding byre. The prices of grain too are rather declining. Potatoes for seed are in request, and bring higher prices than at any period since they were taken up. The rents obtained for grass parks are somewhat less than last year; parks of good pasture, however, go off readily, and lean stock are now in request. Milch cows maintain high prices. Good draught horses have been rare in the spring markets, and what were offered to sale brought high prices. In orchards the appearance of blossom buds is promising, and should the weather prove favourable when they are expanded, a good crop of fruit may be expected. Pears in particular offer a most abundant blossom.-April 12, 1820. Notwithstanding of the general indications of an early spring and favourable seedtime, vegetation is just now about six days later than at this period last season, as may appear by the following statement: 1819.

COLONIAL PRODUCE.-Sugars.-The British Plantation sugar market has been dull, but prices remain little varied, particularly of good qualities. In foreign sugars little has been done, the market being bare of both Brazil and Havannah. In refined, the contracts have been at full prices. The stock of B. P. sugar is now 439 casks more than last year's at this time; present prices 9s. per cwt. lower per Gazette average. Coffee. The market has been very dull, and sales have been made at a considerable decline of prices. The stock of W. I. coffee is now 3023 tons, being 127 less than at this time last year, present prices 12s. per cwt. higher. Tea has been in steady demand, and an advance of d. to Id. per lb. on the prices of the late sale has been generally paid. Cotton.-There has been little inquiry for cotton, and prices of most kinds, except India, have declined about 4d. per lb. The general market continues depressed, in consequence of late heavy arrivals. Imports at Liverpool last week, 14,119 bags. The delivery of East India for home consumption during last month has been larger than usual. Rum.-The rum market has been very quiet; prices, however, are steady, and low Leewards are 1d. per gallon higher. The present stock of rum is 13,765 puncheons, and price of proofs 2s. 4d. per gallon. Stock last year, same date, 10,814 puncheons, and price of proofs 3s. per gallon. Tobacco. There is a fair retail for tobacco generally, and prices continue without alteration. Oils.Southern oil, at a public sale of 90 tuns, sold at L. 29 a L. 29, 15s. which has rather improved the market. Greenland is steady. Rape oil is rather lower. Linseed has been in good demand, and the market is looking up. EUROPEAN PRODUCE.-The Tallow market has been dull, and prices are 2s. to 3s, per cwt. lower. Hemp is quoted lower. Riga hemp at L. 47 a ton; Petersburgh clean at L. 42, 10s. to L. 43. Flax is higher; Riga L. 62 a ton. Brandy and Geneva are also lower. Bourdeaux 2s. 8d. to 2s. 9d.; Geneva 2s. 3d. to 2s. 6d.
