FROM the middle to the 25th of last month, the temperature was as high as we often see it in June or July on the evening of the 27th, and for several nights following, the thermometer fell to 34° Fahrenheit; but, from the extreme dry state of the soil, the slight frosts did little harm. About the beginning of the present month, a general wish for rain prevailed amongst the cultivators of the soil. Some copious showers on the 7th, 8th, and 9th, followed by an elevation of temperature, have been highly favourable to vegetation, and plants which began to pine for want of moisture at the root now come forward with redoubled vigour. All the operations of seed-time have been performed this season without the least interruption, and seeds of every description have been committed to the soil under the most favourable circumstances. The brairds of oats, beans, and young grass, are fair, regular, and far advanced. Wheat has improved considerably in course of last week, and at present the appearance is uncommonly favourable. Sowing of barley on dry light lands, which had been intentionally delayed in the early part of the month, is now going rapidly forward. Fotatoes were planted, for the most part, by the end of April, and, where barley was sown carly, the plowing of turnip and fallow grounds now occupies the farmer's attention. The prices of grain have varied little for some time past. Lean cattle are still in request; fat cattle are also in demand; and milch cows bring high prices. The season has been favourable to the setting of fruit. Apples and pears show a fine blossom; stone fruit trees not quite so full of blossom as last season. Early varieties of pears set kindly, and a fair crop in the orchards may now be expected.-May 14. About the 12th of April, vegetation was six days later than at the same period last season. The warmth which succeeded brought forward the growth of plants with unusual rapidity, so that, by the 19th April, the progress in both seasons was equal, and, by the 26th, vegetation was six days more forward than last year. The cold which followed gave vegetation a temporary check. Still, however, we observed trees and plants to open their flowers five or six days sooner than last year. 1819, 1820, 1820, Apr. 18 1819, 20 21 May 4. Gentiana acaulis, Apr. 28 28 29 21.

COLONIAL PRODUCE.-The transactions in our markets, during the month of April, have not been distinguished by any particular occurrence, calculated to produce greater confidence in prices of West or East India produce. The demand for Coffee has been irregular, and prices were very fluctuating. It has been observed that the prices of Jamaica and Dutch Coffees have maintained themselves proportionally higher than those of St Domingo, Havannah, and other descriptions of foreign Coffee, which is ascribed to the small stock remaining on hand. It is stated that the crops in Cuba and Demerara will be small, and that those of Jamaica and St Domingo will not amount to average quantities. The home consumption of Coffee appears to be on the decrease, the deliveries for that purpose at Liverpool were only 260 tons; those of last year to the same period amounted to 300 tons, whilst in 1818, 550 tons had been delivered there for home consumption, in the four first months of that year. An increase, however, is observable in the consumption of Sugar. The deliveries here have been 58,000 casks, being 16,000 more than at this time last year, and upon the whole, the trade in this article has been active throughout last month; an improvement of from Is. to 2s. per cwt. in the prices of brown and low middling Sugars has taken place. The crops of Barbadoes and Antigua will, it is said, fall short of their ordinary amount. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, which is the grand market for that article, were from 49,000 to 50,000 bags in April; these were taken partly to supply the trade, in consequence of some little improvement in the demand at Manchester, and partly in speculation; the prices of Uplands and New Orleans are about 4d. per lb. higher than in the beginning of last month. Sea Islands have declined from 1d. to Id., and Brazils about fd. during the same period. The quantity of American Cotton already imported this year amounts to 115,800 bags; the total import of 1819 was 205,000 bags. Tobacco has remained pretty steady upon the whole, the inferior descriptions of Virginia and Kentucky Leaf have declined d. to 4d. per lb., and ordinary stems are about d. lower; better qualities are comparatively scarce, and prices remain steady. There were no imports of Tobacco at Liverpool in April; the stock remaining in the warehouses there is 6420 hhds. and the deliveries during the month amounted to 714 hhds. Our present stock here is rated at 10,776 hhds; namely, 10,371 Virginia and Kentucky, and 405 Marylands 5 Packages, 3 Turkey, 614 East India leaf, 10 Amersfoort, and 42 Havannah and Cuba. EUROPEAN PRODUCE.-Prices of most export articles at St Petersburgh have continued stationary, though not much business was transacted at the time the last letters came away, in consequence of the intervening holidays. 12 hd. Flax on the spot was at 150, and on contract 145. Y. C. Tullow remained steady at the advanced price of 180 rubles on contract, and considerable business had been transacted. For Soap ditto, on the spot, 160 has been paid, and the same price was demanded on contract. London, May 2. BRITISH MANUFACTURES. -The trade is now getting a little better in this quarter, particularly during the last week. The amendment is most conspicuous in the fancy weaving. In Paisley, plaids or scarfs, and split harness shawls, have advanced about 14d. on the shilling in the price of weaving. In Glasgow, fine plain work is easily got. Cypress weavers are in some request.-Glasgow Chronicle, May 2. Premiums of Insurance at Lloyd's.
