LAND IN ENGLAND.
Landowners in Cambridgeshire are having a rather bad time of it just now. An attempt was made some time ago to Bell an estate of five hundred acres in the parishes of Hornigsea and Bottisham, but £22.500 was the highest bid. A few years ago the same property changed hands for £70,000. Much of tho land on another Comb'ridgeshiie estate is,, we are informed by tho Land Agents, lleeord, let at 3b an acre to prevent its going out of cultivation. Tho condition of things in Norfolk is but little better. At N'orwald, where some splendid land has just been let by auction, one lot which eight years ago let for 58s an acre, was knocked down for the next four years at 16s per aero ; and another lot, which before fetched £8 per acre, realised the other dav only IDs. Tho groBS annual rental for the wh Jo lot amounted to little more than one third of the same for the previous eight years.
