The extreme wet weather in the early part of last month has greatly impeded the Spring Sowing, and inundated the Low Lands to a far greater height than is common at this season of the year. All tenacious soils have been so much saturated with water as to render their working very unkind; and many extensive breadths cannot be sown this season. A considerable quantity of Barley has been put in the ground since the commencement of the dry weather, about the middle of this last month. Never did a season more fully shew the great and interesting advantage of under-draining, as in all those places were the water had not a free percolation to the subsoil. The Wheat and the Spring Corn look fallow and unhealthy; but upon all those soils where the superfluous water was discharged freely, the crops look extremely promising the wheat will be upon the average a great crop. Barley, upon the dry Barley Lands, never exhibited a finer appearance; it has a very healthful colour and is well on the curl. Oats also look well upon dry Lands. Beans and Peas have suffered considerably; the first by budeting on the ground, and the latter from the depredations of the slug. All the soiling species are the largest crops that can be recollected for many years. The grasses are very partial, depending entirely upon the nature of the subsoil. The Hay crop on the retentive bottoms will be both light and late. Hops and Fruit promise abundance.

No. 54.] JULY 1, 1818. JOURNAL of a TOUR in ENGLAND in 1315-16. From MS. Notes of the Archdukes JoHN and Lewis of Aus TRIA. (Continued from p. 399.) AT Carlisle we saw Mr. Titsen's whip manufactory, and a manufactory of water-proof beaver hats. The old Castle is worth secing. We were shewn the room where Mary Stuart was imprisoned, and the window at which she often sat and wrote her poems. The Cathedral is a very ancient building, I believe of Saxon origin. Longtown, where we slept on the 24th, is the last English town on the frontiers of Scotland. We left it early in the morning of the 25th. To the North rise the Scotch mountains: the country between is chiefly meadow land; the cattle are small, of a brown or black colour. Large quantities of turf (peat) are found here. A small stream forms the boundary. On the Scotch side is the village of Gretha Green, notorious for the marriages concluded there. In England, minors are not allowed to marry without the consent of their parents; and when the young people find too many difficulties, they frequently get joined together here, where no formality is required, except a deposition on oath that the parties are not already married. The marriages contracted in Scotland in this manner are considered as legal in England. The country has in this part a wretched appearance, and the miserable scattered huts are covered with straw. The expression of the countenance of the inhabitants is changed; the people are meagre and ill clothed. The road passes near Leadhills, so called from the lead-mines they contain. A neighbouring village is inhabited entirely by miners, who, to divert their leisure hours in this solitude, have formed a library. In the evening we reached Hamilton, a castle belonging to the Duke of this name. The next morning he accompanied us to Glasgow, where we NIW MONTHLY MAG. NO. 54. [VOL. IX. alighted at the house of the Lord Provost. We visited the new Town Hall: the Courts of Justice are like those of Lancaster; the prisons, which we minutely examined, are in the back part of the building. Two small rooms are assigned for the confinement of criminals sentenced to death. One, in which the criminals are confined without chains, is remarkable for having its walls covered with tin plates. In the other, relations are allowed to visit the condemned. The prisons for thieves constitute a second division: they consist of small cells, and one large room with a fire-place, in which the prisoners remain during the day. The matresses are placed upon the ground. A third division contains the prisons for debtors, which consist of rooms with decent beds, where the prisoners are allowed on a certain day in the week to receive visits from their friends. We were taken to the Cathedral.-While we were examining it, a multitude of curious people, students, &c. who wanted to see us, came in. The crowd soon became so great, that they mounted on the seats and benches with loud huzzas. This pressure, though occasioned entirely by feelings of respect, was rather troublesome to us. It may be concluded from this circumstance, that in certain points of civilization the people are here rather behindhand. In general, we were obliged to pay our visits in a carriage, in order to avoid the pressure of the crowd. The Lunatic Asylum, founded by subscription in 1810, deserves notice on account of its arrangement. The rooms of the lunatics are distinguished according to their condition, sex, and the degree of their disorder. There is accommolation for 120 patients. The apartments for rich patients are in the first story; they are pretty and very convenient: the patients are divided into eight classes, each of which has a separate garden to walk in. The whole building is warmed by one fire-place.-Under a vault there is a large stove: it heats an iron-plate, over which the air VOL. IX. 8Q |
