On the following day, an inquest was held triune 'l. C.

Upon hearing this evidence tke jury returned a verdict of " Mond dead." After the ~quest suspicion appears to have fallen upon the girl of leing concerned in Cie death of the deceased. She was ateordingly apprehended, and, as stated above, w brought Intnre the magistrates, at lioughtmele•Spring,im Tnend ,y. Aland ri tht ,cluck on the morning of the death of the thecancil, the prisoner was seen without any bonnet, fol lowing hint up a lane which lead. toward' Mr Watson's stark-girth, a. well as towards liyeltope and other places. Mr. Watmn's stack.garth is about fifty yards beyond the end of the hove., and oppmite to one occupied by a Mr. Erring:on. On the morning in quentiou, about half-pant ten, the prisoner was oven by a witnew going over a stile into a plantation, and taking the foot road which lc ads to •he New '10w,., win re she resided. She was there met by an old man with whom she lodged (having lost both tether and mother), who was heard to sealed ht r for haring Teen such a length of time ailisent.

To account for the posaysion of the knife the prisoner stated that it had been given to her by a S outs; urn residing at Shincy-row. that she had given it to the old mm with whom she lodged, but that, in consequence of having quarrelled with him, she had t tkeit it away. The daughter of the deceased, on the other hand, snore that on the morning of his death she had seen her father cutting his corn. with the knife, %lath at a later hour of the 11431., morning the prisoner had given to her neighuour. tide stated that about two years ago she bought it, and gave it to the &twos al.

Mr. F.rringtoa, a firmer. whose stack-garth nearly adjoins the end of Mr. Watenrs stated that on the morning in question, about 8 o'clock, be saw the deceased come up the lane, and that the prisoner was not near him; that he talked to him over the wall, and that hims.ell and one of his men were engaged the whole day in making a stack of hay. lie further stated that in going pant Mr. A .. .ttsoiCr stack want about half-past 10 o'clock in the morning, he SAW tit realm' resting upon his hand* and knees, hut knowing that he had bt...n rng mei in cutting grass, he thought he was merely renting himself, and, therefore, took no par. titular notice of the circumstance. tie also stated that he frequently pooled the place during the day —that there wen NI earls belonging to Mr. Belle rby constantly leading hay that the u. ighlitotrlaimel of the place was quite public, and if there Icel been any violet". used, he must have heard it. a. he Ir,d full C 011101.1113 of the stark-yard.

With acontinuiture of highly favourable weather, farmers have been enabled to make rapid progre. with harvest, and a vast amount of work has been completed during the week in a very satisfactory manner. A few thunder-showers have tarn experhmeed in different parts of the kingdom, but the amount of rain which hay fallen has not been sufficient to interrupt the carrying of cum, and a very large quantity of grain has been safely got into the stack-yards. In proportion as n aping has been proceeded with, the evidence in favour of a good yield has increased, and it is now marly certain that toe acreable produce of wheat, as well as of spring corn, will be quite equal to that of good average years. As regards the quality, the reports arc likewise of II Eivour.thle character ' • hut hitherto the supplies of new grain brought forward have not been mall cient to admit of a very accurate judgment being formed on that point. We have, however, heard of instances of great wvi4ht, which may in general be regarded us a tolerably sure indication of lion: quality. the' great advantage resulting from the uninterruptedly fine weather with which we hove been favoured during the lust three weeks has been, that the corn irlaith had berm laid by the high winds awl heavy rains of July has become thoroughly dry, even in those localities wbcre it was dinged so Iradly a to prevent its regaining an Wight position ; we allude more purticulorly to the pro duce of the lin hinds of Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. Under them: the mi,ehi,f which %t un time threatened to he so serious will be comparatively trifling; sprout and mildew have been prevented, and though the quality nosy iu certain localities he somewhat coarse, the east coast farmers will be much better off than they were last year. The only serious drawback to the generally promi ing prospects is the state of the potato crop. The blight is certainly spreading as well in the cast as the west of England, and the reports from Ireland have, within the hit eight ur ten days, become rather alarming. Without being disposed to place itivilicit reliance on all that has been ',id alas written on this subject, we are never theless inclined to believe that a considerable proportion of the potato crop will be unfit for storing, which will be a seri ous loss to the growers, inasmuch us it will oblige them to force large quantities on the market, and sell at low prices. The immediate civet of this state of things will be to decrease the consumption of other kinds of loud, and con• sequently to lower the value, temporarily, of wheat and other sorts of grain, which wiU alleet the smaller class of farmers (who arc obliged to thrash soon alter harvest) dis advantageously. On the whole there is .ittle prospect of higher prices thou those now current, and in [way the wea ther should continue line, so is to allow the harvest to he finished as favourably as it has been commenced, we should probably have a lower range of quotations for all kinds of corn ilunng the nest twelve months than we have had from the harvest of POO to that of 14.31. Though the supplies of wheat from the growers have been very small since our last, and theatricals from abroad only moderate, a further decline has taken place in priors at all the provincial leadiug markats. The provincial markets during the week have experienced a slight dcc,ine. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into the port of London have been very small, only 2,214 qrs. haviog been re ported during the week sawing on Saturday evenin. A few parcels of new have been shown since Monday, gene rally in good condition; tut what has hitherto been brought forward hat not been sufficient to afford data for judging of the quality of this year's produce. The quantity of wheat exhibited at Mark-lane by land carriage samples from the ueighbouring caunties has been small, but the &meld has berm very circumscribed, and trifling as has been the supply, it has proved more thau sufficient to satisfy the inquiry. A portion of the wheat offered from Kent on Monday was left still unsold at the dose of business on Friday, and we question whether the millers would have been induced to have purchased even if the factors had been willing to accept lower terms. There was, however, no disposition to give way, and the few trifling bargains closed on Wednesday as well as on Friday were at prices aimlar to those current in the beginning of the week. The arrivals of wheat from abroad have been moderate of lute, but the stock in warehouse at this port is *nil con sideruble, the country impiiry having for seine time past been quite unimportant. The local inquiry has throu•dbout the week been slow, many or the town millers having still Lair quantities of foreign wheat ou hand. Importers are evidenly becoming somewhat anxious to realise, but they have refrained, thus far from attempting to press sake, and needy buyers hail to pay us much money for good qualitWs at the close of the week won Monday. The dry condition in which the crops are being harvested is di cidedly mraiust holders of old wheat, and if what is still abroad should be seennd on i.0111 . 1111y us that already carried, there will not be much occasion to employ old for mixing. The operations in floating cargoes arrived off the coast have not been numerous, but sellers have in general insisted on similar terms to these previ 4444 staked—say 33.. p rr qr ., cant and freight, for l'olish Odessa ; and a cargo of Barletta has been sold this week at 375. per qr. Most of theatricals off Falmouth have been ordered to proered,to different ports on the coast, on Owner.' account. . . The miller* report a very claw sale for flour; thy bare, hoverer, held the article at former rates, and no alts rctiou bac taken place iu the to i l price. Country markt have in some caw+ been offered rather cheaper than last week, and secondary kinds of American dour have been sold wines hat lower. . . The arrieale from abroad have consisted of 1,360 sacks from France, and 2'1,618 barely from the United States. Sanely a sample of English barley has hen exhibited since last Mondry, and in the absence of business prices hare remained nominally unaltered ; but we queatiun whether, when supplies of now increase, the rates realised last Mon day will he supported. The receipts of barley from abroad have nut been particularly large, and the downward move. mint in prices noticed on Monday has been checked. The operations in the article were out esteusive either es Wednesday or Friday, but needy buyers had to pay quite former term.. The inquiry for malt has not been active during any period of the week ; and though prices have not been quoted lower, the turn has been in favour of the purchaser. The arrivals of home-grown oat* have been moderate, having coneisted principally of a few lots of new. From &hived the supplies have been much less abundant than the preceding week, and a firmer tour has been assumed by sellers. Most of the English new oats brought farw aril have been of tine quality and heavy weight, and this crop ke:peeled to turn out well in this country as well as iu Ireland. A large proportion of the lately received supply of foreign aids having been landed, the pressure uu the oserket bas diminished, and full terms have been asked this week far good sweet qualities. The business dime on Wednesday was at about previous passes; and though slightly enhanced rates were in partial Instances obtained on Friday, the rise was not sufficiently general to render any alteration in quotations necessary. The few small lots of English beans brought forward have been sold without giving nay in price. Egyptians have met with very little attention. Yeas have been freely offered at Monday's reduction without leading to business. The continued dull repeal from hewn have not been altogether without influence on the grain trade abroad, and at most of the Baltic ports holders have lowered their pre• tensions. The weather appears to have been similar to that experienced in this country over a great part of continental Europe, and harvest operations have progressed very fa vourably. There is some talk of potato disease both in Germany and the Netherlands, but the corn crops are gene rally described as good, though not superabundant. Letters from Danzig, dated 12th inst., state that supplies of wheat from the interior had fallen off; still, holden had been obliged to give way more or less. A parcel of good lower Polish mixed wheat, weighing 61 to 621b5., had been sold a day or two before at 375. lid., and 100 qrs. of fine mixt d, 61 to 62115., at 38s. 6.1. ; for a parcel of fine high . mixed Culm wheat 38s. per qr. had been bid, but the holder had refused to accept less than 395. per qr. Freights had tended downwards ; a Teml had been chartered fur the Frith of Forth at 2.. 6d., one for Goole at 2u. 7d., and one for Liverpool at 34. tie. per qr. Advice* from Stettin describe business as almost at a stand at that port, little or no export demand having been experienced either for wheat or spring corn. Harvest was fast drawing to a close in that neighbourhood, and the produce would, it was believed, be very satisfactory. From Rostock we have &deices dated 11th inst., which inform us that the weather had for some time been, and was then, favourable for t e outstanding crops ; still har vest had only been partial l commenced, and would net, it was ex , be general or a fortnight from that date. The prospects were regarded as good, and a large yield of wheat and barley was anticipated. Many of the holders or wheat in granary still refused to accommodate them selves to eireuinstaneca, but the wheat brought forward from the 'wirier had been offered at 3.85. per quarter free on board, the weight being 621 M. to Galbs. per bushel. This shows a decline on previous quotation, from thence. At moat of the other Baltic ports the tendency of prices seems to have been downwards; but the fall hits not been so great as in this country, and the recent shipments from thence to England will loose money. hamburg letters of Tuesday's date state that hardly a sale of wheat had taken place since the previous post-day, and that prices had become to a certain extent nominal. l: da red wheat of 63144. to 61164. was then quoted 36.. up to 18- , and Wahren of the latter weight 38s. 6v1.. per quarto r free on board. Of had been receired ar Lower Baltic hail at 38a. Col. per qr. free on board. Siring corn hail excited little attention, but barley had not been pressingly offered ; old Seale on the spot having been held at 23.. fal., and 43164. to fillbs. quality, free on board at Danish ports, 21s. frol. to 225. per qr. The advicen from France in respect to the harvest are of a somewhat conflicting character ; but, on the whole, there is reason to, believe that the produce of wheat, though less abundant than last year, will not tall materially short of that of moderately good average seasons. The accounts from Paris describe business in flour and wheat ua dull, and prices of both articles were lower on Thursday than earlier 111 the week. From the Mediterranean we have nothing new to com municate ; prices of wheat are relatively higher iu that quarter than at the soarer cuutiueutal ports, and Bore is consequently not much prospect of advantageous bushiest being dune with the south. The most recently received adviees (mom America in form us that the wheat harvest was rapidly drawing to a close; and the produce would, it was expected, prove supe rior, both in regard to yield and quality, to that of ordinary season. In Virginia and North Carolina come injury had been done by drought to the Indian corn crop, hut in most parts of the Union' a large yield was calculated on. The i4V• :arable prospects of the harvest, the dull accounts from Great Britain, and good supplie, from the interior, had combined to depress busiutais at all the large 'dipping ports on the sea-board. Letters from New York, dated 29th ult , state that, though large purchases of flour had been mode there during the preceding fortuight, prices had continued to decline, and good qualities of Western Canal were then obtainable at 4 dole. per barrel. The exports of flour to Great Bri tain from the 16th to the 29th of July hat exceeded 110,000 barrels, o. wheat 116,090 bushels, and of Indian corn 101,000 bushels. Freights had rather receded, Is. per barrel having been taken fur flour to Liverpool. TILE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. A correspondent, writing from Newark on August 13, says, on the audnicity of .• reliable intormat . remised front many of the most important curls counties and di-arida in England," that on strong lands and high cultivated soils wheat and barley have beta deteriorated by the weather, and that only a continuance of the late change fur the better will ensure an average crop. Oats and peas are a good crop, and average quality. Rye a fur crop in quantity and quality. 'fares are a fair crop. Winter beans are hne, and fall:ng to the sickle in some carly districts. Spring beans wit. he short of an average crop, and in quality partially small; Swedes are a tailing crop, but turnips promise, well. Manguld.wursel good ge nerally. Clover seeds and hay will tarn out one-fourth in jured for fist-ding purposes, although an average crop. Po tatoes are planted to a very unusual extent, and look very well. In first and acc:.nil isarlys at market odd ones are diseased.—Strum STAll'ollitillinn.—From a personal survey (says the same correspondent) I am able to state that the aced, clover, and hay season was one of the must protracted for years past, and although we have average crops of clever, hay, and seeds, one-fourth of the district will be very deficient fur feeding purposes. Notwithstanding the present fine weather some proportion of wheat and barley will turn out coarse, and a part of high colour, requiring additional labour and expense in reaping. On our early lands, where managed will, the crops of wheat, barley, and oats, are ttawling, and in quality and quantity are estimated at an average crop. Beans various; winter planted are very tine and average crop; spring isapt-cteil to he full one-third abort of an average produce Peas and rye are goal in quality, and a fair average crop. Swedes have failed in many districts totally, and the crop, collectively considered, less than one-half that of last year. Turnips present a moat healthy appearance. Potatoes look well, but arc not considered out of danger. The corn har vest commenced partially last week in wheat and oats, and some oats were carried in. the latter part of the week, thrashed, and appeared at Nottingham market on Satur day. On Nlonday, .111 forward lands, cutting commenced generally, and, if fine weather continues, will progress on all soils until harvest is et-cured. Norrixcin am, At OUST 14.—During the last few days we have experienced the most favourable weather. We are happy to find that harvesting operations tre Is ing pro ceeded with in a very satisfactory intoner. Toe grain cram of all kinds are looking extremely well, and there ap• pears at present in this neiwhbourhood no probability of a deficiency either in quantity or quality. A considerable quantity of barley and wheat has been cut, and, with some further tine weather, will be carried in good condition. About 11 o'clock yesterday morning a violent storm fell over the town and immediate vicinity, and it is feared some injury may have been occasioned, but nothing to any serious extent OUNIEW,KT (li.►rn).—More delightful weather has, per haps. never been known, than we are now, and have been enjoyin4 for the last ten clays. A large portion of wheat, 'nutty-, and oats have been secured in the homesteads throughout this and the adjoining counties, in the best pos sible condition; and the produce is both abundant and of t zeellent quality. Although the confident expectation of an undamaged potato crop has b.-en, within the last few asp, impaired by the appearance of the disease in many situations. its visitation has rot been so extensive as to cause much alarm, ma .y district► tracing wholly escaped the mysterious pestilence, and in other places where its foul agency has appeared, the attack has been put par dolly witnessed. The prevailing fine weather, it is hoped, will effectually arrest the progress' of the mischief, which, though regretful, it is nevertheless gratifying to know that its late appearance has afforded time for the maturity of a large breadth of produce of unusually fine quality, and sufficiently abundant to supply the markets at a very low pricer—lintA Chronicle. I.IItII4IIIIIE.—SOUTII DOSCASTER.—The fine weather which has recently prevailed in this part of the country has had so favourable an effect in bringing the respective crops to a state of maturity, that harvest op. rations on the higher descriptions of soils have commenced and are proceeding with great activity. The accounts from the various localities as to the appearance and probahle productive ness of the several sorts of grain are Torino., as is, in deed, always the CM:. In many situations, the wheat cro; s are remarkably splendid; and in other of the ordi nary descriptions. But balancing one against the other, the conclusion may be safely arrived at, provided fine weather prevails for reaping and gathering, that the produce will be a fair average; and in come instances, the s4lllnle will be very superior. Taking into con sideration the frosts of June and the stormy periods of July, there were reasons to fear that much injury had been inflicted. But the subsequent favourable weather produced the most salutary erect ; and the progress to wards maturity was far more rapid than seemed to be justified by previous circumstances. The turnips are very much improved, although generally they do not promise a large yield; hut the potato crop is abundant and free front disease.--PDXTEFRACr.—AItkough we have previously announced the cutting of a field or two of oats, Monday last may be considered as the commencement of the wheat harvest in this district. A large number of Irish labour: re are employed ; and, if fine weather should prevail, a considerable portion of the crops of all descrip tions will I* reaped in the coarse of the next ten days. The wheat is described as promising a very fair crop.—Don [caster Gazette.

The first premium of 6,6661. fulls to the bond No. 14,738; the second, of 2,000 e, to No. 7,315 ; the third, of 1,333/., to No. 1,088; the fourth, of 668/., to No. 4,496; the fifth, of 4141., to No. 14,671; and four premiums of 94/. each to Nos. 1,679, 13,847, 7,461, and 13,066. This practice of giving premiums on drawn bonds is common in Sardinian financial arrangements. The Mexican news contained in t he Nc w York papers received yesterday was anticipated, by the previous express, but is now given in more detail, and, conse quently, the financial and political difficulties are made more prominent. We some time ago pointed out the danger attendant on the expedients proposed by the ministry, as trenching on the pelt lieges and political functeins of the states, and we are not sur prised to learn that the press and authorities throughout the country are opposed to the new financial measures. 'Die law on the enlun ul,, pro poses to abolish the rights of taxation hitherto en joyed by the States, and to put the new funds under the control of the federal authorities, who are to allot the portions duo to the several States. It. is further stated that the c.naunao tax, though nomi nally 8 per cent., is, in reality, 33; per cent. It need scarcely be added, that propositions of this kind arc revoluthinary in their tendency, and will, if carried, alter the whole constitution of Mexico. It is, however, scarcely likely that the frontier States, thinly peopled and virtually independent, will tamc'v submit to a new fiscal scheme for the benefit of the nest of jobbers established in the government and city of Nlexico. To add to the difficulties of the government, the English minister claims fur his con stituents the returns of the indemnity money appor tioned to the home creditors, unceremoniously borrowed;" and the Spanish minister claims the payment of 12,000,000 dots. due, and the interest, uniountinif to an equal sum. The King of Hulland, we are informed, has authorised Messrs. I'. Witsen, Flies, and W. J. C. Van Ilasselt, the concessionaires of the Atnstenlam seater-supply from the Rhine, to name their under taking the Royal Company. • The last quotations of exchange at foreign places on London arc us follows: I'resinus Latest Quot it ions.

THE GRAPE CROP IN IT.tLY ATTACKED UT BLiiiitY.—The Genoa Gazette, of the lith, contains an article by Professor Cantu on the grape blight which has imule its; appearance more or less in almost every part of Italy, and caused a good deal of uneasiness in the country. Professor Cantu gives some interesting information on the subject. lie has ascertained that the blight dots not affi et all kind, of grapes equally ; that the bunches exposed to the math, as well as those that are too much erideil by vine -leaves, arc more subject to it than those of the seine vine having the ad vantage ut light, air, and a southern exposition ; that the twigs and leaves of the diseased vines are covered with brown spots, whence it may be inferred that the blight dues not attack the fruit alone, but the whole plant; that the disease consists 1/1 the development of a eryptogamous pniasitical plant, which appears under the form of a whitish powder; and, lastly, that trees and other plants growing near the vines attacked with the blight appear to suffer trims their vicinity. Professor Cantu adds that be is now engaged in a reeks of experiments for the purpose of ascertaining whether the blight is oontagiutis, and whether there is any remedy for it; but that he may even now recommend vine growers to strip their vines of these leaves which impede the free circulation of air and intercept the rays of the sun, and to cut oll'and burn all the bunches which have been attacked by the blight. The Academy of the Georg/Ali of Florence held a sitting un the 3rd inst. to hear the reports which had been prepared on the snb• jest. Many interesting observations were made, and the followina facts seem to have been generally admitted as true:—The plant is of the family of the micro scopic fungi ; its power of reproduction is very great, but is nowise owing to a disease of the vine ; on the contrary, it attacks the healthy vine, and soon after causes the disease. by intercepting light and air. Its effects arc highly disase trous upon the grape in its earliest stages of formation, but much less so when the grape has grown to its full size. It has been proved, however, that this fungus gives no delete rious quality to the juice, and is perfectly innocent, in so far as the health of man is concerned. Lime-water appears to be a cure for, and a preservative against, the grape blight. After a good dial of diligent research, it has been ascer tained that this is the first time the grape has been attacked with such a malady in Tuscany.
