Unsettled weather prevailed until the 28th ult., with a low tem perature and little sunshine, while fear inches of rain bee fallen during the month. No such fall bee occurred for several Augusts past, sad, had it not been fur thorough drainage, we would have had to report much injury done to green crops. Although it hes not had much effect in retard. mg the harvest in the low district of the county, yet in the middle and high it has prolonged the ripening very con siderably; so that while on several farms reaping was i finished on the 30th, on others, a couple of miles or so off, little more than a comm-ncement has been made. Reaping was general in the low districts by the 18th, and was prow -1 muted rapidly notwithstanding the rain, and now the sharp dry breezes which have prevailed during the end of last week have removed much of the evil therebyoceasioned, and a goodly number of stacks are in the farmyards. Compara tively little remains to cut in the low districts, but in the middle little has been done ; and the crops are ripening very slowly. There are plenty of hands, and most farmers are cutting their crops fully greener than formerly. The wheat has not its usual length of straw, but it is clear and Inn, while the ear seems well filled and the grain plump. It has a fair average bulk, but nothing more. The barley stooks do not stand high, but are close, and the ears seem of their usual length. Tcrop seems a good average, but we cannot expect so equal a sample of better quality than last year. The early sown early oats ere the worst crop this year; the quality may be fine, but the bulk is wanting ; while the later sown or late oats are much better—in lace, i tto ea vilt. is peematere to meek yet of the on tee Mollie been ; anictiMeeelf we of the fine quality in the south, we mast bear in mind that harvest, 1880, was very ants veuratie them, while this one is the reverse. On the whole, we do not expect the corn crops to fill more epees in the barn-yards than in average seasons, and we can hardly look for doer grain than last year. The state of the petite excites much attention, and it is quite appa• net that the taint exists in many fields ; in some only in a small spot or two, but in others it is more diffused. The amount of tubers already injured is not great, but wherever the leaves and stems become affected it is perfectly certain that: a portion of them will be attacked also. Some fields of earhes are) almost entirely decayed In the leaf, but as this arises from ripeness they are more likely to escape; yet the sooner they are out of the ground the better. Solt rainy weather will increase the mischief. The crop is the most luxuriant grown for several seasons. Turnips on dry or drained lands have been thriving well, and the Swedes are now (having thrown off the injuries arising front cater pillar) more promising ; we hardly think that this sort, and all kinds grown on partially dry land, will be an average. The rains have brought up a good deal of aftermath for cattle, and the pastures are generally good. The demand for hay became less and prices lower as the season advanced, from 81 to 9d. per 22115. being its price.—. Scotsman. Ever.—During the last month, with a moderate tempe rature, there has been a considerable quantity of rain, the gauge showing a fall of three inches six-tenths, being double the average of the last four years ; it is, however, exactly the same as fell in August 1846. Fine drying winds speedily put all things to rights again, and it is as tonishing to see how little damage this amount of moisture has done to the crops, and even harvest operations bate been but little delayed by it. Reaping commenced sooner than was a month ago anticipated by fully a week • and now, in the lower district of the county, the whole Of the winter wheat, most of the barley, sad all the early oats, have been cut down. Some Wien have finished cutting altogether, with the exception e( part of &dr Wu crops, but some fields of these arc also est. These has Wm alma dance of openat low wages, end Whirls has bees lent by wind. With the exceptions( an NM hada of early sown wheat, all the mere may be as short of straw, but generally thick and dial an the grand. As it takes a large number of sheaves*, Item as eidinary-sired stack, the stackyards will be smaller than meal; but, not withstanding this, the crop will be an average at least in quantity and quality. The yield of the oat crop is very favourably spoken of, though they certainly looked shabby enough when in the stook ; and from one trial made with wheat, the quantity per acre was found to be large and the' sample good, but rather dark in the colour from the qua* tity of rain that has fallen ; this is only what might have been expected. It must be confessed, however, that from the large extent of grain still at the mercy of the weather, it is too soon to speak decisively us to the result of the whole crop throughout the country. The tamps premise well in spite occasionally an indfferent Rea Itetneres are now watching with much anxiety ; in sun Adds the tops are a little browned, but this is cri es* memo from cold and the plant reaching maturity then Min easy disease. Some seedling potatoes raised from seed, seat Ikea Quito, South America, ere much affected by it ; while Regents and Orkney reds, in the same field, con tinue healthy.—/bid. Witrr.—The weather this month has been, with little enseptios, cold, wet, and windy ; at the same time, it was perhaps, under the circumstances of the case, well aka 'stet' to improve and hring the crops into a general state of maturity, which, after all, are much better than we at • more early period prognosticated. The rain gauge shows 1i..21 inches, an unasually large quantity of moisture flaw August. Harvest commenced in the eastern part of the scanty about the Inth, and became general about the 25th of the month, and another week of good weather will suable us nearly to complete the reaping in our lower dis tricts, but in later quarters there will be little for a fort night to come. Wheat stooks well, and appears to be a fall avenge crop, and the grain of fair quality. Barley is generally balky. Oats, having derived more comfort from the rains than our other cereals, bulk far beyond expecta tion; bat as little progress has yet been made in reap ing this 'rep, we are unable at present to report as to the quelity of the pain. Beans are a abort crop, and no dmeripties of weather can now make them other wise ; at the some time time, there are a few promising fields of these to be seen. They are well advanced, and to be Is a healthy state—indeed, some fields are set ilewy the presses system of drainage having modem* this erep same earlier than of old. Contrary to exportations, primes have come round to be a full crop. They am net fres from taint, however, as might have been : l a ra Uer hem the moisture with which they have been M isms time past. It is plain that they are at =he a precarious state, and that much must now on the weather, as a succession of wet days may now mum the destruction of • large portion of the crop. Tur nips, particularly the Swedish, have had a sad struggle to maintain this season against the dryness of the soil after seed time, and the ravages of the By and caterpillar. In most instances, however, they are in a satisfactory state, and promise to be an average crop, but in some PAP they have little progress since last report.—/bid. TSB —_ _ MOULANDS.—The weather has been coequal for some weeks, and the progress of the crops has been much interrupted ; yet in surveying the large extent of yellowing corn, one must be struck with even the step at yid* it has arrived An around Perth cutting is eftniddet i ond the wheat bunches well. Towards the north ern pre ear Meaty it is light, and not heavy in the head. Anned Crialfenting is partial, and there will not be much rigs ern for sins days yet. The patches on the croft lands at Ira Tay le* pretty well upon the whole, although not equal, we druid think, to last year. In Strath Tay the beret is cisme at hand, and the corn everywhere looks well. Turnips are an excellent crop, and are probably the i best to be seen n Perthshire. As to potatoes, we are sorry to admit that the disease has appeared. A mile or two above Login* wit observed several drills in a narked state of taint, and ea haply we found that the dinar, although not inmeneing, was prevalent in • maim of . Lest year the disease had not apparel ea at the sear 'ease& silks year ; but as the troltrahoot Y Its hither enemies may be checked, for there seems a close emmoction between the appearance of the dinar and the state of the annsphere.

" Oentlenten,.—The accounts of this company have been carefully examined by us, during the half-year ending June 30th, 1851, with the assistance of Mr. Deloittc, end found to be substantially correct, with the following excep tions. The surplus balance of 10,9521. 4s. Bd. will be liable to certain deductions, amounting to 3911. lls. 3d., for items agreed by the directors at our suggestion to be charged to revenue ; bat which, in consequence of the books being IL closed, and the inconvenience that would have arisen in =- making the necessary entries before the accounts were printed for circulation amongst the proprietors, will not be charged until the present half-year, thus reducing the 231 balance to 10,580 i. 13s. 641. St /krone Accoomvs.—lt will be observed that the sum of 51,8051. Bs. 11d. is stated to be the balance of the stores g t . account. We have not, upon this occasion, had the stock se adores taken, in consequence of the trouble and expense SO which it would involve to the company ; but we have Ind- Is =WI oar intention to the board of directors of having the Oak in question taken on the 31st of December, 1851, k• sag have also suggested to them some variation in the 2,y made of keeping the store accounts, which, in our opinion, will render the future adjustment of them comparatively g wag.• . . " CARRIAGE STOClL.—Twenty-eight carriages have been 3: 1 broken up, and we are informed, have been ordered by the board to be reconstructed at the cost of revenue. st. ft "CAPITAL ACCOUNT.—We are glad to observe that your se directors in their present report state, ' that as long as no IN new expenditure of moment will be incurred without the 14 previous knowledge and sanction of the propiietors, the au time is fast approaching when a fair approximate of the et. company's ultimate lisbilties es capital account may become r o a matter of fact, and not of estimate ;' and again, ' your di- ii , rectors have no reason to believe that the already estimated 4- 4 : amount of 12,000,0001. applicable to present lines and works to will be exceeded.' TO "We find, however, in this half-year's accounts a con- f3 is siderable sum charged to capital, for land purchased for lid your oriTinal Manchester and Leeds line, now opened at. upwards of ten years, and we infer that similar accounts et. against lines recently opened will not be settled, and cone- U queutly your capital account not finally closed for some time I C , to come. We are, therefore, strongly of opinion that it s o woul I tend to the simplification of your accounts, to aster- se tain your other than land liabilities; and we earnestly 40 advise that no contracts for new works be entered into after le this date without your previous sanction, and that the e i t, directors be requested to submit to the next general meet- s e ing a list of such items of expenditure on capital account 9 9 as, in their opinion, are still requisite for the accommoda- at. tion of traffic. By adopting this course you will, as appears ea to us, not only narrow the basis, and define the nature of _II your future expenditure, but, at the same time, relieve your hoard and auditors from the classification between capital st. ' and revenue, of a variety of items for which they have at so present no positive rule to guide them. We have received SO from the board and officers of this company every possible It. facility in the course of our examination. The efficient Li! manner in which Mr. Deloitte (a eentleman of great expe- ir, rience and unconnected with this district) has discharged 10 his duties, has given us much satisfaction, and afforded us It. the fullest confidence is the general accuracy of the ac- le counts.—WlLLlAlt DUNLOP, EDWARD HARPER." le 81 The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said be 1 91 could not afford to quarrel with the auditors about so small to a sum as the 3911. its. 3d. alluded to at the commencement lel of their report. lie differed with them considerably, how e .-er, as to the subject of their remarks in the last paragraph 11l o that report, in which they said, "We fi nd, however, in " le ' '1 half-year's account a considerable sum charged to se capital," /lc. Now he thought the shareholders would not IS consider it a very "considerable sum" when he told at. them it only amounted to 2,0471. 16s. Id., toped- ~.8 0 ally when they remembered that the capital of this ; company was very little short of 12,000,0001. The auditors is also inferrred from this, u they stated, that there were „. other large outstanding accounts against lines recently opened, So and that consequently the capital account would not be 10 closed for some time. That was not the case. The whole anammt of their outstanding land payments was 103,0001., is , whisk on comparison with the large land capital of the 1. 1 1 compay, was also a very all amount. As to the capital at. omits it had bse all poodisel purposes been closed for the last b ol o moidsr. sod flay had bass paying 2 per cent. disigool ea dole estimated snolli,of twelve millions during IS Mot Om.

(Hear, bear. He had the satisfaction of informing the shareholders Hi that ' capital, including all their future engagements, would be limited to less than 12,000,000/. of money. The Se working expenses of the company were at present 41 per is cent., whilst they were 46 per cost. in the corresponding half of last year. (Applause.) The half-year just ended ss was the first time that the revearne had been debited with all the general charges and construction accounts of the 30 company. (Hear, hear.) The remuneration to the 28 P., directors had been reduced from 2,8001. to 2,0001. 171 a year, though there was the same amount of 129 work to be done as when there were 36 directors who received 3,6001. per annum. There had been a considerable IS diminution in the arrears of calls this half-year. The matter se of forfeited shares stood in this way i The directors had re- ... 1 ceived calls to the amount of 60,0001. upon the forfeited '" shares, and if they did not re-issue the shares they would ge I make a profit to that amount; but if they issued them there is would be • loss. Tho traffic was in a very satisfactory position. The receipts this half-year had exceeded by „. 55,0001. those of the corresponding six months of 1850. '' From the report of Captain Loom, the general manager, it al would be seen that this company hail the greatest security -• for its property, which any proprietor could expect, via., 84 that the average distance travelled by each passenger, 12 was 111 miles, the amount received being 131 d. Very few ... people rival them at a trade of that sort. It showed '''- that the company were trading at a small rate of profit, with some result, and he hoped that better times would come. The Great Exhibition had abstracted a considerable "A amount of passenger Valle thin half-year. In that plague St: spot of this company's property, the Preston and Wyre Railway, tin loss had been 3001. or 4001. a week over that of the corresponding period of last year. The line of 15 iy miles from Huddersfield to Penistone, of which he did not d know how this company had become was another plague spot, and its construction wou ld costa million and a half in round numbers, without any working stock. And It 4 yet it was in that locality that the directors were asked to make new lines, although those already constructed only paid in the gross receipts, 12s. 6d. per cent. per annum. Ire The company were at present sustaining a loss of 100,0001. el a year by similar unprofitable bargains, including their 81 - share of the loss on the Preston and Wyre Railway, wbleh is was 18,0001. The total amount of loss on that line was e t . 27,0001., but one-third was paid by the London and North it. Western Company. The directors must, therefore, resist being called upon to make those lines, b esandansus or otherwise. The last paragraph of Captain Laws's 7. 4 report was very cheering, because it showed the g vitality of their line, and of the locality thine% es which it pemed. It showed them that if there had beat no 6 nein,* non, and their dividend could have been A. 1100sWed over the whole of their capital, it Wild ! have emenetod new to 4j per cent.

He concluded by ["that the mart of the directors be received and le and ire Hide peseedbps be approved of; and ss ant the ocesente Kell* leas last be passed." 17 After some twavelmilmes 17 The report was wont to all but unanimously.

Nos rm.. wilt Pin. w=i L ia api et a period The general feeling of the stock market to-day has been flat, and the appearance of sellers of Con sola both for money and account has reduced the quotation 1. The accounts from the Continent are to-day read less satisfactorily, especially combined with the accelerated downward movement of the funds at Paris. On tho other hand the Board of Trade returns for the month and seven months ending the 3th August, just issued, are regarded with great satisfaction, the general features being again particularly good. The total value of the month's exports is 6,418,203/., against . 6,029,568/. in the same month of 1830, and 6,364,426/. in 1849, being an increase of 6 per cent. A good deal of discussion has been excited by the publication of the accounts from New York by the Humboldt, and opinions are freely expressed as to the probable result of the excitement prevalent in New York and other parts of the union on the subject of the insur rection in Cuba, and the summary execution of half a hundred of the American sympathisers. Consols opened 961 to 1, but are now called 961 tot, both tor cash and the 11th inst. The prices at which business is marked arc:—Three per Cent.

Bank Stock, 2131. India Stock, 260. _ _ • Exchequer Bills rallied Is. yesterday afternoon, and the late announcement that the Bank will make advances on stock at three per cent. during the approaching shutting of the transfer books would appear to be now producing sonic effect in this market. The improvement is to-day main tained, business being recorded in all descriptions of Bills at 458. to 48s. premium. India Bonds, under 1,000/., mark 495. and 525. prem. There is very little business offering in the foreign investments, and prices arc unaltered. Transactions have occurred as follows: Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 92. Danish Five per Cents, 1014.

A continuous increase is again presented, as com pared with last year, by the railway traffic returns for the past week, now in course of publication, in which the metropolitan lines more especially parti cipate. The London and North Western return is 62,739/., against 51,2121. in the corresponding week of last year, showing an increase of 11,5271. ; the London and South Western, 17,5631., against 13,0511.—increase, 4,5121.; the Great Western, 24,6741., against 16,93,51—increase, 7,739/. ; the G rent Northern, 13,3481.,against 5,863/.—iocrease, 7,485/. ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire, 18,6171., against 16,0771. increase, 2,510/.; the York and North Midland, 9,9711., against 9,947 l.—increase, 241.; the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 17,0961., against 14,5011. — increase, 2,5951.; the North Staffordshire, 5,1121., against 4,987/.—increase, 1251.; the Bristol and Exeter, 3,0601., against 4,9lll—increase, 1491. ; the Shrewsbury and Cheater, 1,929/., against 1,6651. — increase, 284/. The decrease on the Midland this week is only 380/., the amount being 24,5881., against 24,9681. in 1850. As some interest is excited at the present moment as to the financial arrangements of Sardinia, we take the opportunity of stating, from official documents, that the expenditure of the finance department for the ensuing year is estimated at 2,468,9761., of which 740,000/., for an instalment of the Austrian indem nity, and that the interest of the debt amounts to 1449,3201.—name1y : Eerpetual debt, 1819 .edeetutiblt/debt, 1819 iiede - e;;;ble debt, 183 - i """""""""""" ---"-- 60,000 Redeemable debt, 1834 Redeemable and Perpetual Feudal debt Redeemable debt, 1844 Redeemable debt, 1848 Redeemable debt, 1849 Redeemable debt, 1849-50 652,084 Redeemable debt, 1860 The prices of funds are weak at Paris, but exercise no influence here. The exchange remains as before, but sovereigns are marked from 3 to 5 centimes lower. Other bullion is unaltered. The demand for sovereigns on the part of French, Spanish, and Italian excursionists has slackened. There has been no large number of transactions in Bank shares during the week, but prices are well supported. Bank of Australasia continue to be in quired for, and have attained a further improvement. The sales reported are:—Australasia (401. paid), 38, 1,1; London and Westminster (201. paid), 281, 29 Provincial of Ireland (251. paid), 421, 42; Union of Australia (251. paid), 351; Union of London (10/. paid), 141, 1, 1,1, 1. Under the head of changes and appointments in banks, the Banker's Magazine for September notices that the Birmingham and Midland Banking Com pany have entered into arrangements to connect themselves with the Stourbridge Old Bank, which has been for so many years carried on under the firm of Bate and Robins, the arrangement commenc ing from the 4th August. The business is now con ducted in the nameof the Stourbridge Branch of the Birmingham and Midland Banking Company. Mr. Robins, we understand, continues his connexion with the b ank. The Belfast Banking Company have opened a new branch at Drogheda, under the man agement of Mr. W. C. Joyce. _ The market for Insurance shares is somewhat steadier, though prices are still in a few instances the turn in favour of buyers.

Sin,—ln your paper of Monday, August 25, I observe a notice of a case at the Gmport Petty Sessions, where the superintendent and storekeeper of the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard were brought before the magis trate for a public nuisance, namely,the stench analog from the preserved meats for the use of the navy. This is a subject I have been long expecting to seo brought before the public, and even before parliament, and I have often thought of addressing you upon this matter. I have time now to do so, only very briefly. From my own knowledge 1 can say that one of her Ma jesty's ships some years ago, while engaged on a distant and arduous expedition, found a very large proportion of the preserved meats supplied for the use of the sick in such a condition that they were obliged to be thrown overboard week after week. If one of the meat-cases in this state happened to be opened the stench rendered the ship un bearable for en hour afterwards. At the same time, out of the private stock of preserved meats purchased by the officers for their own use not one case turned out defective. The officers bought of an old established respectable house, and gave a good price; and when the meats were bought the vender said that they . had cost him as much or more per pound as the contract price for which the public stores were supplied to the navy. I have heard from good authority that in Sir James Ross's last expedition in search of Sir John Franklin the preserved meats were so bad that they could not be used, that the men and officers, and even Sir J. Roes himself, were consequently attacked by scurvy and their energies paralysed, as well as their confidence in their supplies de stroyed. On the same authority I was informed that the preserved meats taken out by Sir John Franklin himself were part of the same stock as those afterwards supplied to Sir J. Ross. Now if my information on these two points be correct, or if not, if the preserved meats supplied to Sir J. Franklin were only as bad as those supplied to the ship in which I myself sailed, the failure of Isis expedition is easily accounted for. I have but to hint at the supposition that, depending on these treacherous supplies, he had pushed on as far as possible. and that in his first, second, or third , winter he had found his provisions a nuisance, instead of a I support, to call up to our imaginations a scene too painful for them to dwell on. . . . Hoping that sonic one with more leisure and authority than myself will investigate this matter, I remain, yours, &c., BETA. P.S. Since writing the above I have heard that in her Majesty's ship Herald, lately returned from a aix years' cruise In the Pacific, half her preserved meats had usually to be thrown overboard, and the ship had frequently to be fumigated from a defective case having been opened. I be lieve, if an investigation took place, there is scarcely a ship in the navy to which these stores have, within the last ten years, been supplied, but would have the same complaint to make. Now, sir, these preserved meats are the stores kept for emergencies on distant expeditions, where nothing else is to be got. Boats are supplied with them when about to be absent some days or weeks from the ship. But I feel r need not enter into any further details. August 29, 1851.

Tut BarTrANY GRAZIERS have induced the South Western Steam Navigation Company ta alter the time of their steam pickets leaving Modem for Southamp ton. Hitherto the packets have left on Wedneedays ; sn fame Hwy will leave on Thursdays. The cattle ex po rted hem Maga in these boats will, therefore, be landed at S on Friday, sent to London on Saturday, and a l iter ls = all day on Sunday, will be quite ready for Smieblieli market on Monday. A day's keep and housing fo ffide ...airy will, therefore, be saved by this arrange ment, which, for a hundred or a hundred-and-twenty besets in a single cargo, amount to something considerable. This trade in cattle with France, by means of the Southampton and Morlaix boats, is thriving. The beasts are driven to Morlaix from a distance of between 30 and 60 miles, from the rich grazing lands of St. Pal de Leon and Lesneren, fa the department of Finiaterre.
