DOCTOR SPURZHEIM has just published, at Paris, a new work on the Physiology of the Brain, entitled "Observations sur la Phraenologie; ou la Connaissance de l'homme moral et intellectuel, fondée sur les fonctions du Systeme Nerveux." This work contains several plates, illustrative of the doctrine: and Dr. Spurzheim has added two new organs to the thirty-three contained in his work, called the Physiognomical System, lately published in England, which he has since discovered, namely, one which gives the propensity to mysterize, and causes the possessor to deal in fiction, to be superstitious, and which he calls Organ de Surnaturalité. The second new organ arises

from a division which the Doctor has made of the organ of Individuality, into Individuality and Phenomenality, or the perception and accurate recollection of particular occurrences, facts, phenomena, &c.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

OPEN weather continuing, the sowing of grain although commenced late, will soon be finished, excepting upon the heavy lands not sufficiently worked. The early wheats appear healthy and thickly planted. Carting beans finished with the past month the crop though not large, is generally very good. Clover seed of the various sorts is abundant, and the sample promises to be bright and heavy. Turnip, and seeds of all kind have been much improved by the continual falling of showers followed by the genial rays of the sun.

Notwithstanding the abundance of the crops throughout England, the Markets have continued to rise. This may be supposed to arise from the last year's stock being literally exhausted before the present is threshed out and ready for market, The quantity of aftergrass is not only far beyond ordinary years, but of better quality, partaking in considerable degree of the nature of that produced in the Spring. Turnips and Potatoes may now be estimated at about three fourths of a crop; the latter however, is amply made up by importation.

COMMERCIAL REPORT.

457

COTTON.—It is now confidently anticipated that no further sale of East India cottons will be declared this year: the price will therefore soon find its level. The demand has continued very limited since our last, and the request for Surats for home consumption, and Bengals for exportation, appears to have subsided-the only purchasers are the export houses. SUGAR -The demand for Muscovades continues steady, but not extensive, with a trifling advance in the price. The refined market was a little better, owing to the demand for exportation, but the prices a shade lower. Molasses were in good request. COFFEE. The public sales of coffee have gone off heavily, within one or two instances a shade of reduction in the price, but no general depression can be stated: several extensive parcels were taken on speculation. CORN.-The supply of English wheat has been but small; the prime runs obtained an advance, but little has been done in the middling and inferior qualities. Foreign wheat also sells very heavily, and no great alteration is expected to take place. Barley is from 1s. to 2s. per quarter lower, a considerable fall having taken place of that grain. Oats fully support their price. Pease and beans no alteration. The aggregate average of the Maritime Districts for the last six weeks being above 80s. the ports are opened for importation for home consumption, free of duty; this will last until the 15th of February, 1819, when a new average will be taken. SPICES. -The prices of pepper are advancing, on account of the taxed price at the India House being fixed at 9d. Cinnamon, cloves, and nutmegs have experienced a trifling advance. OIL.-Whale oil is but slow in sale, and the prices declining. Sperm has experienced a small advance. Other descriptions are dull of sale, and a shade lower in the price. Rape continues to give way. The holders of Galipoli oil are trying to raise its price, on account of the pretended advance in the Mediterranean ports.
