TH?. UNITIOr ST.%TM4 OP AMEIHCA PENGesI,O% This was a plea to a bill filed by the United States of America against certain persons who had acted so agents of the Confederate States or Confederate government, during the late w ir, for the purpose of making good the claim of the plaintiffs to certain goods and property which lid been acquired by the Confederate government, and coasimed by them to the defendants. an their agents. The argues , nts, which were of • very technical nature, will gathered fro' his Honour's judgment. Mr. (l home, Q.C., Mr. Kay, Q.C., and Mr. Widdington Byrne supparted the plea; Mr. G. M. Clifford, q.c., and Wickens, for the hid, were not called upon. The Vice-Ilhar , ellor thought that the plea must be overruled. The bill did not recognise the authority of anyone except the United State*. It alleged that divers persons, miejects if and owing allegiance to the plaintiffs, the United Matas, entered into an association for the purpose of carrying on a rebellion against the government of the United States; that such persons usurped the plaintiffs' authority, and established in part of their dotal niMlS a pretended government, under the style of the go vernment of the f lot:kilo:de States of America. It does not acknowledge the existence of any each things as States at all. Taco it went on to allege that such pretended government, during the period of their usurped authority, possessed themselves of moneys, goods. and treasure, which were part of the public property of the plaintiffs, and of other motleys and geode from time to time con tributed by person. owing allegiance to the United States. It then went on to allege that the rebellion was entirely suppreaeol, and was now at an end, and the association, or so-called Confederate government bad ceased to exist ; that the said revers! persons hail sub mittal to the autho rity . of the government of the United States, and all the joint or public property of the persona ao described, including the moneys and goods in question, had vested in the plaintiffs. Then, how did the plea meet this ease? It said that the Confederate States, in the bill mentioned (there being, in fact, no States mentioned in the bill) did not owe allegiance to the United States of America ; and that they did not rise in rebellion against the government of the United States, or usurp their authority, but were independent and sovereign States, having the right to secede from their eounexion with the United States without being guilty of any act of rebellion or usurpation. Ilia Honour thought that Wades. did not sufficiently answer the bill. The two things wcre mot ad idem. The bill spoke of a number of persons calling themselves a goverement ; the plea spoke of Confederate States. The bill oaid nothing shout a connexion with the United States; the plea spoke of a connexion, but did not state what sort of connection it was. This the plea ought to have done. In reality it confirmed without avoid ing. If it averred a connexion with the United States rt all, it ought to have supplied the court with materials for judging of the nature of that connexion. Whether the court could or couhl not deal with such a question as to whether there hail been a violation of allegiance or not, was one which, of course, lay behind all the rest ; and it would be • disguise thing if parties came to • Court of Chancery to decide whether or not they were law ful subjects of an established government. The plea, moreover, admitted a whole set of new facts which we e glanced at, but not carried out. The bill had clearly not bean met ; and the plea must be mended with coats. (Before Vice-Chancellor Bir B. Melina) RN TAP RUINIRIUIN HOTIL COMPANY. This case. which has been for some weeks before the mut, and has Mood over train time to time, was brought to a close to-day. The proceedings arose upon a petition to wind up the company, which was formed a few years ago to may on the business of an hotel in the N'sdo of Health, at flampatead. The petitioner, an npkilsterer, in Holborn, alleged that the hotel was being carried on at I loss, and that the furniture and building were in • hod condition, all of which statements were distinctly coo indicted on the part of the directors, who stated that part of the hotel had been closed during the winter months, because the hotel was a place of summer resort anlythat the construction of a sewer in the neighbourhood hadinterfered with thobusiness, hut that a railway station was about to be opened near the hotel, which would mach improve its value, and there was every ressou to anticipate a fair profit. In accordance with a suggestion from the court, a meeting of shareholders was held on the 27th of Nay, to remainder the question of the winding up, and at that meeting :!.260! shares were represented out of 3,633, the petitioner being present. After an inspection of the building and property of the company, a resolution was curried by 2,930 shares against 330, declaring that the lbuildiag was in good and substantial repair, and the fur niture in a condition highly creditable to the management, an] that there was every prospect of a large profit being realised on the opening of the railway station in the im mediate neighbourhood, which was to take place within • The resolution further stated that the share holders were aware that, from exceptional circumstances, the profits of two years had been almost entirely destroyed, but thu trade of the peat year showed that the business Was now good and profitable, and that they appioved of the easenomical arrangement of closing the hotel during the winter months. Mr. Roxburgh and Mr. Lemon appeared in support of the petition, sad Mr. Glasse and Mr. Buchanan opposed. A number of witnesses on both sides were croso-exo mined in evert upon their affidavits. The Vi co-Chancellor was of opinion that there was little prospefet of carrying on the business satisfactorily while such a determined opposition existed between the holders of one-tenth of the shares and the other members of the company. The wisest course would have been for some arrangement to have been made to buy out the petitioners, which would have involved a very small sac, ince. As that Lad not been done he thought it his duty to rrint the usual order for winding up, but would suspend the order till Friday next, in the hope that the parties might oome to dome agreement in tho meantime. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-.Jove 10. Sittinp is Banco. —(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justice+ Mellor, Shea, and Lush.) DID= AND ANOTHER V. THE DUBLIN TRUNIC CONNECTING RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Lewd applied for a rule calling upon Mr. Henry French, a shareholder, to show cause why a scire facies should not issue to recover the amount unpaid and uncalled up in respect of certain shares held by Mr. French in the company. The action was brought by the joint engineers of the company, to recover 7,0001. The cause was Net down for trial at the spring assizes for Bris tol. The record, however, was withdrawn by consent under an order of Mr. Justice Shee, and referred to arbi tration. The arbitrator had awarded 6,7041. 541., and taxed coats 1037. las. A writ of 6. fa. was issued against the company by the Sheriff of London, who returned the fol lowing day nulls bona. The only process now left was to proofed under the Companies Clauses Act against the shareholders for the amount of their unpaid 'harm Se veral such rules had been issued against shareholders in this company, and he had to move against twenty-four sli.ireholders. Rules granted. GrilSta said he had ►lso to make similar mo tions against IS other shareholders in this railwaycompany. Mr. Hotten said he appeared for one of the shareholders in the Let batch. who consented to an order for 4001. in order to save the cerise of a sic. fa. Mr. Orieks said ‘OO4. was claimed as due from the abareholder. Mr. Rotten said it would be better then to take an order for the 4001., and a sic. fa. should issue on the :3004., the balance. Rules were granted in the whole of the cues except so far as the 4401. in the last case. BROWNS AND ANOTHER v. ?WI COMMISSIONERS OP wmce, Mr. Thesiger moved, under the Courts of Justice Con centration Site Act, on behalf of Mr. Browne and another, for a rule calling upon the Commissioners of Works to show c.uM' why he should not take up an award.

Sitting' in Bonco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Bovill and Juitiem Wines, Keating, and smith.) RAW,ToNE APPELLANT n LACKNOU , E RESPONDENT. This was an appeal from a decision of the Salmon Fishery Commissioners, by which they declared that four lathe nets, or balks, in the estuary of the river Ribble "ere illegal, and must be removed. The plaintiff claimed to have the nets as lord of the manor of Hutton which bra been granted to his ancestor, Lawrence Rs - at one, by Henry VIII. at the time of the dissolution of the religious houses, in consideration of a payment of .iisSf.; and there were various deeds and other evidence to show that a right of fishery was attached to the manor. Another cir cumstance war, that under the Ribble Nsvigat'on Act, pouted in 1844, the course of the river had been straightened and narrowed, and the nee were therefore moment nearer to the middle of the stream. The appellaut claimed the right of Fairing the nets under a charter of Richard 11., but the commissioners held that the reti were kiddies, a species of engine prohibited by Magni. Charts, and by sonic early statutes, and that the charter dill not exempt these particular nets from the operation of the law. They also held that the removal of the nets in 184 e was in enhancement of the use of them, and therefore even if there had been an ancient right, there was no user of it butween 1,144 and ls6l. Mr. Mellish, t?.C., appeared for the appellant ; and the Solicitor-General and Mr. Hannen for the defendant. The court, after hearing the argument at some length, took tine to consider then decision. Judgment postponed. Sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesex. —(Beforc Mr. Justice Liles and a Common Jury.) LKaLIP T. LIMPS(,:. The plaintiff was Mr. Henry Leslie, the dramatic author, the writer of The t,ronye Girl, The Mariner's Compass, Tine and Tide, and other pieces ; awl the defendant was the proprietor of the Theatre Royal, Birmingham. The action was to recover damages upon the ground that the defendant had not completed an agreement accuiding to which the plaintiff was to write a drama for him. Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Joyce appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Mr. Francis for the defendant. In January last the plaintiff advertised hie willingness to write dramas, and thi. brought him into communication with the defendant, and it was agreed Vent the phiintiff should write a drams to be called the Black Countrn • or, Litlle !cm, the Collier's Son. It was signed that the de fendant :Mould pay and should in consideration have the sole right of representation in Birmingham. The plaintiff went to the Black Country fora fortnight to study local circumstances, and he afterwardesent down the first act. In the meantime the plaintiff placed the piece upon the list of the Dramatic Antl , ors' Society, so that managers of thest. ea might have an opportunity of acting it upon paying the price for so doing. It seemed that the defen dant had wished to acquire a more extensive interest in the piece, and be was so annoyed at the plaintiff placing the piece upon the list that he returned the first act, and declined to go on with the transaction. The glair. tiff now claimed to recover the balance of 10/.., and damages for the 100 wh;oh he had sustained in conse quence of the defendant not having brought out the piece, and the defendant seed to recover back the 20/. which he had paid to the plaintiff. A good deal of correspondence was read, and Mr. Stir ling Coyne and Mr. Tom Taylor were called in reference to the raies of the Dramatic Authors' Society and other matters connected with the profession of a dramatic author. Some points of law were also raised by the defendant's counsel. After some discussion a suggestion of his lordship was adopted, and it was agreed that the litigation should be put an end to by an amicable arrangement. The result was that a verdict was entered for the plaintiff in the case for 101., and that them should be a certificate for costa and further, that the other action should be stayed, and that no costs should be .01ov:ea on either side. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1867. back into court returned a verdict of f;nifte againyt the prisoners Ilarwitt and Bull, and of ll'ot Goat, in favour of °email. The constable in the case, in reply to theltecorder,Ptatol th a the prisoner Ilerwitt was not known, but that Ihtil had already been tried for receiving stolen goods, but ac quitted, and that his premises were now full of valuable property of every description which it was strongly sus pected lid been stolen. _ . . The Recorder renttnced Barwitt to 18 months' impri sonment, with hard labour, in the House of Correction ; and Bull to be kept in penal servitude for the term of six years. Janus William Kern, , DI, was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering abanker's cheque fur the payment of 301. 35., with intent to defraud. The prisoner pleaded Mr. Poland, with whom was Mr. Montagu Williams, appeared for the proem. tion ; and Mr. Metcalfe was in structed on baba of the prisoner by his friends, and on his application the sentence was deferred to enable wit nesses to be called to the prisoner's previous good character. Frederick Forster, 17, was ind;cted for unlawfully coun selling, inciting, and procuring one Edwin Noche to steal tobacco, the property of Messrs. Goode, the wholesale tobacc3nists,.the masters of I lasche.. It appeared that on the 27th May last the prisoner met and introduced himself to Noche a lad of 12 or 13 years of age, as be was leaving his master's premises to go to his dinner, and asked him if he could not get him some tobacco out of the warehouse in the same way as another lad had done some time before, and to whom he (prisoner) bad given as mush as '2f. per week. The prisoner told %ache that he would pay him 2s. per lb. for the tobacco ; but the boy persiirten.ly refused to do anything of the kind, and at length, persecuted by the prisoner's importunities, gave information to his employers, who at once communicated with the police. A parcel was made up and entrusted to Basche, who had made an appointment with the prisoner under the directions of the police, and when they met the parcel was banded to the prisoner, who was at once secured by a constable who was in attendance for that purpose. The jury found the prisoner °silty of the misdemeanour, and The Recorder, after complimenting the boy Ruche on his hood conduct in the affair, and alas on tl-e very esti+. factory manner in which he had given his evidence, sen tenced the prisoner to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour in the House of Correction. In the New Court the Common Serjeant waa occupied during the whole of the sitting in trying prosecutions in stituted by the authorities of the Mint, but no case of interest or meriting a report trenspired. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. -JuN z 10. Sitting. in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barone Martin, Bramwell, and Channel.) SAVAGE r. MADDER AND ANOTHER. This case came before the court upon a demurrer to pleas, and raised a question as to the ability of a person to recover money which he had deposited in the hands of another in respect of • bet upon a horse race. The plain tiff backed the horses Lord Lions and Rustic for a place at the Derby last year, and deposited the money sought to be recovered with the defendants, who were to curry out the transaction. The plaintiff won, bat obtained neither his owu money nor the money due to the winner, and he sued the defendants for the former sum. The action was for money payable by the defendants to the plaintiff, for money received by the defendants for the use of , the plaintiff, and for money found to be due from the defendants to the plaintiff on an account stated. The defendants pleaded several pleas, stating, in subetance, that the money was deposited in their hands to abide an event upon which a wager was made, that it was claimed by the plaintiff as winner of the acid wager, sod that he dal not repudiate the wager or demand hack his money before the event took place. The question now was whether these pleas w-re • good defence to the ,action and it depended chiefly upon the construction to be placed upon the Bth and 9th Vic. chap. 109, commonly called Lord George Bentinck's Act, the 18th section of which provided that all contracts or agreements by way of gaming or wagering should be null and void, and that no suit should be brought or maintained in any court of law or equity for recovering any sum of money deposited in the hands of any person to abide the event on which any wager should have been made. Mr. Warion was beard in support of the pleas, and Mr. Hume Williams against them. In the course of the arguments it appeared from certain authorities quoted that it bad been decided that, where the plaintiff hod repudiated the bargain or do mended back the money prior to the event having taken F 1 1: 4 7 ; could recover the money from the party in whose he had placed it. The Lord Chief Baron, having referred to the provision of the act, said he thought the principal pleas relied upon constituted a good defence to the action, and that judg ment should be for the defendants. Mr. Baron Martin, concurring, said the legislature had rightly enacted that actions should not be brought upon betting °entracte, because these were transactions which ought rather to be discountenanced than otherwise, and because if such actions could be brought, the business of the courts of law would be blocked up with them, and people would be leaving their business to come and listen to, and take a part in, the trials. If people would bet they must take their chance of getting their money in the event of winning, these being entirely matters of honour which they must settle amongst themselves. Barons Bramwell and Channell being of the same opinion, Judgment wu entered for the defendants. 00IIRT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Jume 10. (Before Mr. Commissioner Hoiroyd.) IN Ili CAPTAIN BENT. The bankrupt, who was formerly a captain in the army, described himself as of Eastbourne, Paris, Northampton, Graftonxtreet West, Euston-square, and other addresses. This was • dieting for examination and discharge. Mr. Sykes appeared for the official assignee ; Mr. Brough for an opposing creditor ; and Mr. Heed for the bankrupt The accounts tiled under the bankruptcy return the sum of 2,1001. as being due to unsecured creditors, and there are also liabilities of uncertain amount upon accom modation bills, which the bankrupt states he incurred two or three years ago whilst at Paris, and of which he did not keep any record. It was objected on behalf of the creditor opposing that the accounts were quite insufficient for the full disclosure of the bankrupt'. affairs. He had gone about contracting debts at different places, and had been travelling round the country with an equestrian circus. After bearing Mr. Reed fur the bankrupt, His Honour granted an adjournment for the bankrupt to Me a cash account for 12 months prior to the adjudica tion, and a deficiency account. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. Witham Ramat, 22, traveller, was indicted for felo niously stealing two silver table spoons, one dessert spoon, three tea spoons, and other articles of silver plate, the property of It. S. Illingsrorth, in his dwelling-house ; and William; Bull and William Gerrard (who, surrendered in discharge of their bail) were indicted for feloniously re ceiving the said property, well knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. G. S. Griffiths conducted the prosecution ; and the prisoners were respectively defended by Mr. Ribton, Mr. Sleigh. and Mr. Montagu Williams. The prosecutor of the indictment is a gentleman residing in Norfolk-crescent, Hyde-park, and it appeared that the prisoner Barwitt was acquainted with a men named Sloane, who was footman in the prosecutor's establishment. On the 3rd May last, Barwitt called on Sloane, and was admitted into the pantry, and availing himself of Sloane's temporary absenoe, he possessed him self of the articles of plate mentioned in the indictment with which he made off. On the property being missed the footman Sloane, accompanied by a pollee-constable, went to Berwitt's house, and on charging him with the robbery Barwitt exclaimed "Good God, what do you mean ?" and Sloane replied, " You will soon see what I mean," and gave the prisoner into custody. The polioe and Sloane then went to the residence of the prisonerßull, who keeps a general shop in the neighbourhood of Notting-hill, and there the property which bad been sold by Torwitt to Bull for W. was found. The only evidence against Gerrard was that he was in Bull's service and employment. The jury retired foe sometime to consider, and on coating THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Salomon Lyons, 20, described as being a fishmonger, was brought up in custody, and charged before Alderman Sir R. W. Carden with expoeing for sale in Petticoat-lane, Houndsditch, a quantity of cards of a disgusting and filthy description. From the evidence of John Hawkes, 900 City police, it appeared that he was on duty about 12 o'clock on Sunday in Petticoat-lane, when he caw the prisoner surrounded by a crowd of 30 or 40 men and boys, exhibiting the cards for sale at one penny each. With considerable difficulty the offioer worked his way through the mob until Fe got near the prisoner, who was holding up the cards to the light and permitting his auditory to examine them, a process which was followed by shouts of laughter, and the moat indecent and obscene remarks. He seized the primmer's hand, and took from it a packet of the cards now produced, which he had been exhibiting in the manner described. The prisoner stated that be was there selling them for another man, and begged of the officer to let him go about his business, but Hawkes was inexorable, and conveyed the prisoner, after an at.empt by tke mob to rescue Dim, tothe police station, where another packet of 50 cards of tine same description wan found upon him, making Rei cards altogether. Hawke added that a regular trade in these cards was carried on every Sunday in Petticoat-lane, and in consequence of scouts being put out to give signals of the approach of the police, there Will the utmost difficulty in effecting a capture of the offenders. This, however, was the ninth ease he had been able to bring to this court. . . . . The prisoner, in his defence, urged that be was a hard working lad, and did not know that he was doing any harm in disposing of the cards, which another man had given him to sell for him. Sir B. W. Carden said it was impossible to believe that statement. The prisoner well knew what he was about when be offered these infamous earth, which were calcu lated to pollute the young minds of the lads by whom be was surrounded. Those already convicted had been sent to prison for twenty-one days' hard labour • but the pri soner, who appeared from the number of c ards found upon hint to be &wholesale dealer, must go for two months' hard labour in the House of Correction. The neat offender of this class that came before him would have three months. BOW-STREET. - - - - Richard Stewart wu brought up for final examination charged with stealing a watch from the person of Mr. Colciidge, the barrister, in the Strand, during the tem porary crowding of that thoroughfare in consequence of the passage of the City militia on their march to Hyde. park on the occasion of the late review. Fifteen previous convictions were proved against the prisoner, and he was c.mmitted for trial. James White, aged 18, a paper glazer, who refused his address • William' Scieington. aged 21, a labourer, of 6, Suf folk-street, St. Pancras; John &and!, aged 16,a labourer, of 6, Horse-shoe-alley, Wilson-street, Finsbury ; /Amid lArer, aged 19, a French polisher, of 2, Camden-passage, Islington • Benjamin Antmo, aged 16, a labourer, of 19, Fleur-de-Lis -street, Norton Fo4ate ; William Smith, aged 17, a seaman, haying no fixed place of abode ; Reuben Bobinson 'zed 17, a general hawker, of 1, Montague street, Whitechapel ; and George Dann, aged 17, apa ter, of 79, Charlton-street, St. Pancras, were charged before Mr. Mansfield, on remand, with robberies and out rages in the Pentonvillc-road, Clerkenwell, during the passage of the City of Loudon Militia, u already reported in our columns. After hearing the additional evidence adduced, Mr. Mansfield said it was clear that an organised gang of thieves and disorderly persons had congvegated, and that the public were robbed and the police assaulted. A prima facie case for committal had been made, and all the prisoners would therefore be committed to the Middle sex Sessions for trial. The case against White was very plain, and he should, therefore, not admit him to bail, but he would take bail for the others—two sureties in the sum of 251. each, and the prisoners themselves in the sum of 501. each. John Moriarty, a well-dressed young man, who refused both his address and occupation, wea charr,edwith stealing a gold Albert chain from the person of Mr. Joseph Smith, architect, &c., of 60, Colebrook-row, Islington, at Cold bath-square, ClerkenwelL Mr. Smith said—l am an architect, and on Saturday night, about ten o'clock, I was passing through Coldbath square, on the pavement by the side of the House of Cor rection wall. I observed four of what I considered to be respectable artisans on abreast in advance of me. Then they separated two and two to allow me to pass. I then observed about four or five yards a-head three others walking abreast, and the centre one slipped in frost of his left-hand companion, so as to make, as I thought, room for me to pass. As soon as I got between the other two the one in front turned round and made a snatch at my watch chain, and got it. I tried to secure him, and he ran away in the direction in which we had come. I fol lowed, and cried " Stop thief." To my surprise the four men I had passed opened to let the prisoner pass, but closed to prevent me, and one of them attempted to take hold of me. I flung him from me. The prisoner turned sharp to the left, where the volunteers' headquarters are, and I followed, still calling " Stop thief." Fortunately some volunteers were passing, anal they assisted the police in capturing the prisoner. I charged the prisoner with stealing my watch, fancying, as the chain was gone, nay watch also might have gone. On the way to the police station I found my watch in my pocket. My watch-chain is gone, and the prisoner is the man. The two watch keys produced are my property. I have not get my chain back. -- The prlaoner was reeogniaed by Reeves, warder at the House of Correction, as having already been convicted of felony ; and, offering no defence, was committed for trial.

George's Hall, Plymouth, Mr. James Curtis, of Brighton, the Grand Master of the Order, presiding. At this meeting, which will be continued throughout the week, all matters con nected with the society are discussed, rules amended and new ones made—in short, it may be called the annual par liament of the order. As its name implies, this ammo. binge is moveable from year to year. In 1862 it was held at Brighton, in 1863 at Leamington, 1864 at Birkenhead, 1865 at Worcester, and last year at Burton-on-Trent. Yesterday about 170 deputies from various parte of Great Britain answered to their names. The grand master de livered the opening address, from which it appears that on the Ist January, 1866, the Unity consisted of 387,990 members, and that during the past year 36,909 new mem bers were admitted, being the largest number of admissions ever made in the society in a single year. On the Ist of January last the total number of members was 445,255. The financial returns for 1866 have not yet been com pleted, but on the Ist of January, 1865, the Unity pos sessed a capital of 1,796,3481., and after paying 252,617/. for sick relief and stuns at death, the accumulated capital amounted to 1,916,2941., being an increase on the year of 119,9461.

The week opened with a hot g. owing day , splendid white clouds flying about, gent-rally the sure sign s of rain at no great distance, and iu Huntingdonshire it fell heavily in the afternoon. On Monday morning early • heavy thunderstorm was experienced, and the weather remained of a doubtful character until towards noon, wine it became decidedly wet, and in the afternoon much rain full. A bunch of tine wheat ears was shown in Mark.lan e from Sussex, very healthy, and of a good length—the sort was Talavera. On the corresponding day of the week lam year (June 4th) some were exhibited from Somersetahire, grown from Australian seed, and these were good, but not so huge as those of this season. There is little difference in the forwardness of either season up to this poi n t. The weather from this time forward up to harvest will determine whether wheat will be brought to market tartar or later. Last year the first sales were made in Mark-bee on Wednesday, the Bth of August, when Talavera was sold from Essex, and "rough chaff" from Huntingdonshi re. Tuesday was a ne day on the whole, only having h a d some slight showers. Wind from nortu-west. to south-welt; thermometer, 62 deg ees at mid-day ; barometer, :SU inches. Our advices on that day were as under : —From the West Riding of Yorkshire : "Since Friday we had forcing weather, with showers on Sunday and • thoroughly wet day yesterday, but not heavy rain as you seem to have had. To-day is fine and sunny, and crops look very fresh and cheering, and, no doubt, will progress fast." From the East Riding : " Weather has been hot and foreleg, and vegetation has made rapid proper. Some rain has fallen, and, so far, it has proved bemecial both to spring corn and pastures, but we tan scarcely say the same as regards wheat, which hardly requires so mach moisture at this season ; but, on the whole, pro spects for the future are favourable, on the high lands especially." From Suffolk, borders of Norfolk: "Our growing crops exhibit improvement during the last few days. The hay mop promises to be an abundant MX" Wednesday was a showery cold day, and somewhat unfa vourable for the wheat plant. On that day from the west meat of Scotland: "The weather is warm, but rather too much rain falling daily." From Norfolk, mar the coast : " The weather has been fine the past ten days ' which was much wanted for the growing mope" Thursd a y was a fine breezy day with no rain. Our advices on that day were from Suffolk,near the coast: "The weather since Sunday last has been cold and showery, but to-day is dryand warmer." From the interior of the same county : "Si nce our last the weather has beenvery variable, but for the put three days wet and cold, notwithstanding which the appearance of the growing crops has much improved." From Warwickshire : we have now splendid growing weather, which has already wonderfully improved the appearance of the growing crops and pastures, that were looking so sickly from the effects of the late trying tem peratunt The very heavy and continuous rain of Sunday night and Monday has, however, caused • flood in many parts, and the damage by grit and sand to thousands of acres of the growing hay crops will be a most serious loss to the farmers. On Friday sun and shower were alternately experienced; the latter were heavy and most prevailing in the afternoon. Our advice* on that day were from the West Riding of Yorkshire, stating : " The weather has been cooler since Tues day, and we have mice again to-day." From Lincolnshire our advicea ran thus: " - The weather (farmers' greatest difficulty) is again unkind from the excessive quantity of rain which falls conti nuously. Clay lands are showing symptoms of doine badly, and, in fact, there is too much moisture for th e growing crops on any land. Wheat is about as forward as last year, and will be in ear in a few days, and on high lands looks remarkably well and vigorous? Saturday was a fine breezy day ' • Loth the thermometer and barometer were well up, but the weather became rather threatening after sunset.
