THE HARVEST OF 1•61 a hater to the Time written from Richmond, ou Friday last, Mr. IL J. Turner thus describes ie-t tour rapidly performed last week, his observe , .•• :Ming from Corusall to East Anglia, anal thence • 7• Ith Riding :—" I remained in Cornwall until Lae : when I again returned into Berkshire, but ;..y route at Exeter, 1 went by Bristol and Rath and thence to Reading. I thus pissed het was to me a new and very beautiful district. •:n crops varied a good deal, but that :eqr obviously arose either from difference in ..ity of the soil, or (row better or worse ~,t a. The crops of swedes generally were very pr0..,1..1 .. , 1..1 the pastures very good. Tuesday I spent very in riding or driving through some of the best • t.. 1 parts of Berkshire.. I now and then found a. I poor grain crops, but that certainly is not the ..;:aracter of those crops over the whole county. I iiiefulay I went over portions of Buckinghamshire tha deses, and then went forward into Esees, where at... 1 that night. Next morning I had the privilege over the crops of my host, whose farina in ed set/ acres. I found considerable difference in there and in other parts of Essex ; one field of a I ,timated at fully sic quarters per acre, while ::ad not very distant field had little over half that Immediately adjoining those fi elds was a crop ,•Lielt was calculated to have 12 quarters per acre. r.e.: crops look well and pastures are good. Lucerne :tie ate.' in most of those southern counties and is Itobe a most valuable plant for green food. I saw ehl which was being cut for the third time this year, ,he present crop is a great one. Much of the grain 1 the stack. Where tares or early peas bad been a. the head after the removal of those crops had been , ate.' and sown with stubble turnips, anal I was in ..l that from tumble so grown they get valuable food vit in the spring. I went to Tilbury Fort, and, cross die Thames to Gravesend, I had a pleasant drive into t. Most of the corn there is in stack and manystacks are dash The grain crops varied like the land, for Kent .ins some of the test soil in the kingdom, but it has in it a good deal of strong and poor clay. quality of the wheat disappointed me—it is perfectly .1 and a fair sample, but the grain is not so very fine had found it when passing through the same district a rears ago. I then went into Middlesex, and thence gh Cambridgeshire into Suffolk and Norfolk. This is ... grain district, and the mope generally are good, but tore than half the grain is in the fields, and the oorn in vany fields is yet to cut. The crop of swedes is very pro. Using. The pastures are not nearly so good as in event other counties I have visited. From Thetford I went by Ely to Peterborough, where I einained until this morning, when, peering through Not- In4ll.onshire and Lincolnshire, I cause into Yorkshire. As lir north as York there is a great deal of corn carried, hut her , is in the counties last named a considerable breadth f land where the grain, though ripe, is still uncut. The em crops generally are heavy, and turnips very good. trim York to Northallerton there is a deal of corn cut, tot more ready; very little carried. Thence, northward, ere is a striking change—very little corn has been out, the general crop will take several fine days to make it . The pastures from Nottinghamshire to Durham e gone off much within the last three weeks. In a few with your permission, I will, after carefully weigh over my notes, state the opinion I have formed on the Is over the whole of England." Bishop Twella preached a sermon the other day St. John's, Hammersmith, in which he said he must trebly but firmly declare his conviction that if the masses home are ever to be won back to the church, it must be coniumaities of both men and women living by rule r that was the meaning of a canon, very different the degenerate custom of modern chapters), and `dog in their midst. Since he had been absent further lineation of our ancient universities had taken place, the real idea of the collegiate system was almost lost. trusted the subject would not be overlooked at the caching Pan-Anglican Synod. While they should be Mut to the church of England, and never forsake her mg as she held to the truth, they must bear in mind they expressed their belief in the Creed, not in the of England, but in the church catholic ; and that most ever act on the principle which had inspired ts, confessors, and martyrs, and not be ashamed of ing at all east those distinctive dogmatic truths, the of every branch of the catholic church, which it fashion in the present day to ridicule. PRRSONS SUFFOCATED AT FLINT.—A most accident, by which five persons lost their ,rend on Thursday evening at Flint. At the .pun the bodies, which was held on Friday after- Adore Hr. Peter Parry, the following particulars of ielaneholy catastrophe were adduced: —On the chemical if Muspratt and Co. there was a drain used for the ow of running off waste matter from the works.

By some means the bucket caught in the side of the shaft, and the boy descended dude for the purpose of loosening it, when, overcome le poisonous vapour which ascended, he fell into the which contained a quantity of water that had there from the influx of the tide (the works being sy the River Dee). A carpenter, named Enoch its, immediately descended to extricate the boy, but himself overpowered and likewise felL A smith, red Thomas Ames, also endeavoured to save the others fell n victim to the gases ; as did also two other men, red Owens and Joyneon.

The medical evidence was to the purport that was caused by drowning , doubtless owing to the eing first suffocated by font air, most probably gas. A verdict of "Accidental death" was re- Roberta and Joynson were both married men, and large families. The occurrence has cast quite a .ca over the neighbourhood of the accident.

Ois 0'014,0z. There is an increased amount of business in the Stock Exchange to-day, and the general course of prices is still favourable. Some of the securities which for some time past have been almost , entirely neglected are in better demand, includ ing foreign bonds and miscellaneous shares. It is evident that the public are becoming dissatisfied with the very low rates of interest now allowed for deposits by the joint stock banks and discount establishments, and, with additional confidence, investments in the stocks referred to may be reasonably expected to enlarge. The political advices from abroad are still regarded as satisfactory, while it is anticipated that a large amount of gold will be sent into the Bank during the present week. Consols are firm, at the improvement of Saturday. Home railway stocks have further advanced. The requirements in connection with the 4th of the month have caused a somewhat increased de mand for money to-day, but the supply is still very large, and good bills are taken at 14 to If per cent. Consols are quoted 94# to f both for money and the 10th instant, and 941 to 4 for the Bth October. The Three per Cents. Reduced and New ' Three per Cents. are steady at 94f to 1. British railway stocks continue in request, and have further improved. Metropolitan, Caledonian, and South-Eastern have advanced 1 per cent. ; Great Western, London and North Western, Great Northern, and North British, 4 ; Midland, ; Brighton, 4 ; and Great Eastern and London, Chatham, and Dover, 4. Annexed are the present quotations :—Metropolitan, 1254 to 4, ex div. ; Great Western, 47 to 4 ; London and North Western, 115 to 4, ex div ; Midland, 119 to 4, ex div. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 127 to 4, ex div. ; Caledonian, 1094 to 1104 ; South Eastern, 69 to 4, ex div. ; Great Eastern, 304 to 31i ; Great Northern, 1134 to 1144, ex div. ; ditto A, 1171 to 1184, ex div. ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 184 to 4 ; North British, 304 to 314 ; and Brighton, 514 to 4. Turkish Bond; of 1865 have risen per cent., viz., to 31# to #. Spanish Passive and Certificates are # higher, at 191 1 to / and 14 to 1 respectively. Turkish of 1862 are quoted 571 to 64 ; Greek, 133 to g ; Italian of 1861, 481 to 49 ; Mexican, 14* to 1 ; Chilian scrip, 11 to 1 dis. ; and !Egyp tian, 1864, 84} to 84. Bank shares show firmness, although the deal ings are' upon a moderate scale. Subjoined are some of the quotations, viz. :—London and West minster, 70 to 71 ; Union of London, 38 to 39 ; Imperial Ottoman, 14 to oi din. ; Alliance, 124 to 11 j dim. ; London and County, 56 to 57 ; and Chartered Mercantile of India, 30 to 31. Financial shares are without alteration. Inter national Financial are called 21 to I I dis. ; Lon don, 24 to 22 die. ; General Credit, 21 to 21 dis ; and Credit Foncier, 6 to 51 dis. _ _ _ United-States 5-20 Bonds and Illinois Central Railway shares are I per cent. higher, at 73i to i and 77 to A respectively. Erie are quoted 40} to 2, showing a rise of f. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are steady at 161 to I, and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference at to HALF-PEAT THEM o'CLoce. The stock markets remain firm, the transactions still consisting mostly of purchases. Consuls are quoted so to 2, both for money and Sept. 10, and so to 1 for the new account (Oct.). About 248,000/. in gold has been sent into the Bank. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rental opened at 60fr. 70c., being firm. An important provision has been introduced in the new Companies Act (1862) Amendment Bill. By clause 26, " A company shall on the applica tion of the transferor of any share or interest in the company, enter in its register of members the name of the transferee of such share or interest, in the same manner and subject to the same condi tions as if the application for such entry were made by the transferree." Hitherto the seller of shares in a joint stock company has stood at a consider able disadvantage with regard to the buyer. The former was obliged to fulfil his contract, and hand over a properly executed transfer, and the share certificates at a certain date. The latter was at liberty to defer registration of the shares into his own name ss long as he pleased. Several cases of hardship occurred last year from this cause. Shareholders in Overend, Gurney, and Co., who were distrustf•.rl of the course of affairs, not only sold their shares for nothing, but sometimes paid a premium to have them taken off their hands. The nominal purchasers purposely delayed to register. If the concern had got through its difficulties they would have done so at once. When, however, bankruptcy supervened they simply avoided to complete their contract. Tho copse lquence was that the unfortunate sellers were re tained upon the list of contributories, and although 'several attempts have been made to get their names replaced by those of the real holders of the shares, they have uniformly failed. It is possible that by a tedious and costly litigation in the Court of Chancery sums paid in respect of calls might be re covered, but many technical difficulties stand in the way. In the first place, it is not very easy to prove the acceptance of shares by the buyer. It can readily be shown that he has paid for them, but the mere fact of a sum of money having passed from A to B will not thereby relieve B from his future lia bility to the company or its liquidators if A refuses or neglects to register. Secondly, it is no easy matter to compel the buyer to carry out his contract and almost impossible to enforce it upon the company itself. The clause in the new bill to which we have referred in some degree, meets this last objection. There is, however, one material defect. How is the transferor to make good his claim for shares to be placed in the name of the transferee f He is in precisely the same position as , the landlord of a house, who on letting it gives an agreement to the tenant and retains nothing him- self. If it is worth the tenant's while to maintain possession, he does so by virtue of the agreement, if otherwise, he has only to put the agreement in the fire and the landlord is practically helpless. In any future law on joint stock companies it would be desirable to include some provision for the execution of duplicate transfers, one of which should, as now, be given by the seller to the buyer, the other by the buyer to the seller, either to be considered binding on both parties, and equally so on the company. Under the present act, supposing that a transferor should make an " application " as pro vided by clause 26, it could not be entertained without the support of adequate proof, and in this respect endless difficulties are sure to arise. About 57,0001. in bar gold was sent into the Bank on Saturday. The annexed clause from the Railway Com panies Act of the past session (30 and 31 Vic toria, c. 127) illustrates the half•feeble, half-inter fering manner in which parliament deals with these questions. It is almost needless to say that the COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY.) _ _ Very little old English wheat was on sale here to..lay ; but the supply of new was good, and in excellent condition. The inquiry for most kinds was inactive, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of from la. to 2s. per quarter. In foreign wheat, the show of which was good, very little was passing. Selected pareds supported last week's prices, but inferior kinds were rather cheaper. We were well supplied with malt in which the transac tions were only moderate at late rates. The sale for oats, partly on French account, was steady, at full currencies. Beans were quite as dear as last week. The supply was very limited. The few peas on offer were disposed of at full prices. The flour trade was heavy, and, in some instances, the quotations had a drooping tendency. New white mustard seed was brought forward. The sale fur seeds generally was in a 'doggish state. Cakes were a slow sale. For floating cargoes of wheat there ham been • fair demand. The prices realised, however, are Is. to 2e. per qr. lower than this day se'nnight.
