The Leicester Journal of the 6th of December contains an ingenious paper on the fubject of tranfplanting wheat, as a' means of providing against the expected. fcarcity of that neceffary of life. It is recommended "to fow, in dry land, as much corn as may be deemed neceffary to plant in the fpring any number of acres which may be occupied with that article in the following year.When the foil is prepared, a furrow is to be made with a very fmall plough and one horse, in the center of the ridge or land, returning back in the fame track (this time only of every ridge), then turn towards the left hand, and plough another furrow, about eight or nine inches from the first furrow, turning always to the left hand, till the whole ridge is finished; it will then be formed into trenches, in parallel lines, of about eight or nine inches afunder, and imitate what gardeners term drawing of drills. In thefe furrows the plants are to be laid." Mr. JOHN AINSWORTH,, of Glen, the experienced author of this communication, fays he has practifed this method with the most complete fuccefs. At a General Meeting of the Subfcribers to the intended Female Afylum, at the Exchange, Leicester, on the 25th of November, it appeared, upon the report of the Treafurer, that the annual fubfcriptions amount to 941. 12s.; and that 221. 3s has been received from various perfons as donations. -Mr. Robinfon reported, that Mr. WIL BERFORCE, M.
