The Subject of the Norrisian Prize Essay for the present year is :-" The Internal Eridence of the Divine Origin of the Christian Religion." AGRICULTURAL REPORT. The capital parts of agricultural employment and produce at this season are all well performed and promising. Wheat has seldom been sown under more favourable circumstances, generally speaking, and in most districts, the plant is up and looking vigorously. The drier soils have had a slight superiority over the heavier lands, but all may be said to have got the seed in as advantageously as in any former season. The turnips are excellent and the after grass abundant. Potatoes fail in some counties to a considerable extent, but in others (Oxfordshire particularly) they are more than an average crop. The various fairs have been supplied with immense stock of all descriptions, and the natural consequence of the glut has been further depression. The effect is felt, indeed, in most of the provincial markets, and such a fall in many articles of Provision is described in several of the provin cial papers, as must be ruinous to the grower, however beneficial to the other classes of the community. Pigs of nine weeks old are stated to have been sold at Newbury for eighteen pence a piece, and cattle in Smithfield (prime cutters) at 3s. 6d. per stone of eight pounds, on the last market day. The supply of wheat has been also superabundant. For some weeks together the influx coastways to Mark Lane has been considerably more than the whole average of foreign and English supply when the Ports were open. All the county reports are filled with complaints, and agriculture must be the most extraordinary of all trades, if the present depression be not attended with wide For very many years and sweeping ruin. past, and with only one or two exceptions, till 1820, the price of agricultural produce was 100 per cent. higher than at present, and often even considerably more. What other trade then could stand under a loss of one half of its whole returns, not of its profits, but of its whole returns, as farming now does? The landlord and the clergyman are in a vast number of instances foregoing from a fifth to a fourth part of their claims, and such reductions must be universal. But while the same amounts of taxation are rigorously exacted, it must be matter of extreme doubt, whether the landed interest can bear up against the pressure; and the evil is aggravated by the destruction first falling upon the small capital of the operative man, by whom loss can least easily be borne. It is stated that ministers have resolved upon a reduction of the rate, at which importation is to be permitted, to seventy shillings per quarter, in lieu of eighty, and are determined upon admitting foreign wheat under a duty of twenty shillings per quarter. The effect of such a regulation will only be to reduce the price to an average of about fiftyseven shillings per quarter, the cost of the grain, transmit, and duty, to England. We are persuaded that no artificial regulations will serve the turn. At the autumnal meeting of the Hampshire Agricultural Society, the following premiums were awarded. A piece of plate of the value of 50 guineas was given by the president, Sir Thomas Baring, Bart. MP. for the best cultivated farm, on the alternate system of husbandry, consisting of 500 acres and upwards, and occupied by a tenant at rack rent, and was adjudged to Mr. William Pain, of Mitcheldeven. A piece of plate of the value of 20 guineas, given by Sir T. F. Heathcote, Bart. for the best cultivated farm, on the alternate system of husbandry, consisting of less than 500 acres, and occupied by a tenant at rack rent, to Mr. James Comely, of Otterbourne. A piece of plate, of the value of twenty guineas, given by Sir John Walter Pollen, Bart. MP.; for the best cultivated farm, consisting of 300 acres and upwards, and occupied by a tenant at rack rent, and managed upon any system, to Mr. Richard Baily, at Alresford. A piece of plate, of the value of twenty guineas, given by John Fleming, Esq. MP. to Mr. Webb, of Lea, near Romsey, for the greatest number of live stock of all descriptions, working horses excepted, maintained during the course of the year, ending June 1, 1821, in the best condition, in proportion to the soil, and with the fewest losses by death, upon an arable farm of not less than 100 acres, with the smallest proportion of common down, permanent pasture, or water meadow, annexed thereto. A piece of plate, of the value of twenty guineas, given by Sir T. F. Heathcote, Bart. for the greatest breadth of turnips, in proportion to the whole land occupied, and cultivated in the best manner; regard being had to the quality of the soil, on a farm of 300 acres, and upwards; by a te nant at rack rent, to Mr. Dennis Batt, of Pittleworth, near Stockbridge. A piece of plate, of the value of ten guineas, given by W. Chute, Esq. to a competitor for the above premium, second in merit, Mr. H. Digweed, of Chawton. A piece of plate, of the value of ten guineas, given by John Blagrove, Esq. of Great Abshot, near Titchfield, vice-president, to the occupier of a farm in Hants, for the greatest breadth of artificial green crops, applicable to the use of man or live stock, cultivated in the best manner, specifying the quality of soil, and as near as may be the weight of such crops, on a farm of not less than a hundred acres, and not exceeding 400 acres, to Mr. Richard Hinxman, of Chilling. OBSERVATIONS ON THE WEATHER, FOR OCTOBER, 1821. GENERAL REPORT. THE weather this month has been very changeable, yet the number of fine and clear days exceeds the overcast and rainy by three. The great space described by the fluctuations of the mercury in the barometer often happens in wet and variable months like the present. Although the depression in the mean temperature of the air is 8° lower than last month; yet the mean of this month is more than 44° higher than in October, 1820. Spring water is nearly of the same temperature as at the latter end of last month. Naval Academy, Gosport. The fall of rain and hail here, on the 20th, 21st, 22d, and 23rd instant, was nearly 3 inches in depth, which, from a comparison of our Meteorological Journal for the last 7 years, appears to be unprecedented in the same period of time; and we have already had 4 inches more than fell in the preceding year. The difference between the state of the weather in this latitude, and in that of Scotland and its vicinity (a distance of only 5o) is remarkable; as there it is reported to have been uncommonly dry, while we re ceived very heavy rains that have overflown the low lands. The atmospheric and meteoric phenomena that have come within our observation this month, are 3 parhelia, 3 lunar halos, 24 meteors (some of them with trains), 5 perfect rainbows, and 5 strong gales of wind, or days on which they have prevailed, namely, 2 from SE. and 3 from SW. DAILY REMARKS. October 1. Fair, with passing beds of Cirrus and nascent Cumuli: a clear sky, and some dew by night. 2.

A slight hoar-frost in the grass-fields before sunrise, being the first we have seen this autumn.A Stratus early, followed by a fair day and night. A corona and a small green halo around the moon in the evening, and a moderate gale from SE. 10. A fair day, with small Cumuli only passing in the direction of the wind: Cumulostrati and a gale from the same quarter by night. 11. A rainy day, and a fine night.

A showery day and night-3 perfect rainbows, 1 parhelion at the top of part of a solar halo, and 3 small meteors. 23. Rain and wind nearly all day: 6 small meteors in the evening, and passing beds of Cirrostratus by night. 24. A Stratus early, arising by evapo ration from the great fall of rain here during the last four days. AM. an overcast sky: PM. fine, with some passing clouds at intervals: 3 small meteors, and a very heavy dew in the night. 25. Two parhelia, one to the north of the sun at a quarter before 8 AM. the other on the opposite side at a quarter past 8, both of them distant from his centre 220 20', and situated in a mixture of passing cirrocumulative and cirrostrative clouds an overcast sky soon followed: PM. frequent showers of light rain. 26. AM. fine after the fog dispersed : PM. a shrouded sky. 27. Overcast, some light rain, and a very damp air. 28.
