Carter shewed the white feather, and was again down to avoid tickling. 57. A desperate rally, and a close. Carter down. 58. Similar to the last. 59. A spirited rally, in which Spring seemed to have got fresh wind. Carter went down with a slight blow, evidently a ruse de guerre to get wind. 60. This was almost the best round fought.

In a wrestle for the fall, both down, Carter under. 70. Spring came up with renovated vi gour, the prospect of victory seemed is have restored all his strength. Carter came up but slowly, and in the rally which fol lowed, in which he was thrown by a lefthanded hit on his head, he went down to rise no more “in battle array." His head was completely abroad. His seconds. endeavoured to revive him, and to put his vertebræ in working order; but he seemed to be perfectly satisfied, and resigned his hard-earned laurels to the youthful candidate, whose manly and fearless conduct throughout the fight, independent of his consummate skill, fully entitled him to the prize. The success of Spring was hailed with the loudest plaudits. He left the ring without losing a drop of blood. The battle lasted an hour and three quarters. EDINBURGH.

N.B.-The Observations are made twice every day, namely, at eight o'clock in the morning, and eight 'clock in the evening. The morning observations in the first column are made on the Register Ther mometer. NOTWITHSTANDING the easterly winds, accompanied by showers of hail and snow, in the latter end of May, the crops in general appear to have suffered little. The suc culent plants, such as clover and potatoes, have in some places, however, been considerably injured; but in the orchards in the Carse of Gowrie, and on the banks of the Clyde, the fruits having been mostly set before the frosts came on, the injury to the expected crop is not so great as was contemplated. Wheat still continues to promise a luxuriant crop, and many fields are now in ear. Oats everywhere have a flattering appearance; and barley, except on heavy soils, and sown when the ground was wet, generally looks well. Beans and pease appear in very desirable condition. The weather has been favourable for turning over fallow grounds; and a great breadth of turnip has already been sown. The genial showers since the commencement of this month (and it is hoped the frosts are over for a season) will enable the hay crop to reach a fair average. Grain still continues to find a dull market. Fat cattle meet with a ready sale; and young cattle for grass bring high prices.—June 14. The Cardamine pratensis and the Montia fontana, both aquatic plants, came in flower on the 15th May; apple-trees in orchards, and the lilac in shrubberies, were in full flower by the 16th. The various leaved water crow-foot was in flower by the 17th, the lily of the valley by the 19th, the laburnum tree by the 21st; walnut and oak trees were in leaf by the 24th; the Cerastium tomentosa and hautboy, and Chili strawberries, were in flower by the 28th; the hawthorn came in flower on the 1st June; the Veronica beccabunga, (brooklime,) a water plant, on the 2d, the common peony on the 6th, water-cresses and the Stellaria uliginosa by the 8th; old ash trees were in full leaf by the 9th; and, on the 12th, the common rye-grass (Lolium perenne) began to open its flowers. The temperature of the water in the pond where the water plants grow, on which the above observations were made, ranged between 48° and 53° Fahrenheit, from the 11th May to the 12th June. |
