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 Thermometer. THE rains in the early part of March were followed by dry weather, which continued from the 10th till the 24th, and during that period a considerable breadth of land was sown with beans and oats in the lower districts. From the 24th the ground was too wet for receiving seed, till the 3d of the present month. On retentive soils in the higher districts the oat seed has not yet been all got in the ground; in early situations some barley has been sown about the 10th; and giving the second furrow to fallow, potatoe, and turnip ground, now occupies the farmers' attention. The temperature continued low till the 9th, when the thermometer stood 10 degrees higher than it did any time in the preceding spring months. On the evening of the 10th a heavy fall of rain was succeeded by a temperature somewhat depressed, occasioned partly by excessive evaporation. Vegetation has within these four days made astonishing progress, and the foliage of young wheat, to which the cold dry winds in March had communicated a brownish tinge, now assumes a lively verdure. Artificial grasses come forward with vigour, and beans that were plowed down in February show a regular braird. Early varieties of peas that were sown about the 21st begin to look up, and spring-sown wheat that lay five weeks in the soil now shows a fair and healthy braird. Farm produce of every description continue to bring low prices; cattle, indeed, are in request, but in the northern markets they have lately experienced a decline in price. Lambs, being a sort of luxury at this season, bring high prices in great towns; but the sale of sheep is dull. Grass parks bring lower rents than usual when exposed by auction. Seed potatoes are wondrous plenty, and sell at 7s. per weighed boll of 32 lb. to the peck in the northern counties. Labourers are, in general, regularly employed, and receive from 1s. 4d. to 18. 6d. per day of ten hours. 14th April 1821. Average Prices of Corn in Scotland for the Four Weeks preceding March 15.
