THE HARVEST IN THE SOUTH. The harvest has made rapid progress; in all direc tions the fields ere Ailed cleared as quickly u the compara tive shortness of hands will permit. ♦ greet many farmers bine finished h . sad the close of this week will n 1 doubt witness, wit: but few exceptions, the termination of the harvest throughout this district. As tirade the yield, but little reliable information has at present been made known. There are various and conflict reports as to the wheat. Then can be no doubt that the crop is in many, and • great many, instances, defective, lest we en disposed to thiak that the actual amount of mischief is • good deal overrated, Taking into consideration the large breadth rf land which was planted in wheat, the quantity on the ground, and the remarkably ♦tee weather which has prevailed throughout the harvest, we eeseeive that these facts will, in the gnat majority of districts, embrely compensate for such effect es blight or mildew may have produced; and that England will in a very few days bare garnered in safety • fair ge wheat crop. In these southern counties our own °Nervation, coupled with careful inquiries In re:iable quarters, leads to the couclesion that this is essentially the cape. The b►rleys are not a good colour, Mt they promise to be abundant in yield ; while, as to oat., beans, and pees the repave are most satisfactory. The potato crop is ample is quantity and excellent in qua lity, ant the dry westher during the last month appears to have mainly. if not entirely, checked the dines') which had just previously begun to oho" itaelf, and which had, we believe, in very few instances extended beyond the haulm.— Sauer Advertues. IX TRAORDINART CAPTURE OF THREE BURGLARS. Quite a sensation has been created lately in the isoustim of Somerset, Glosanter, and Wilts, ty the number Orbs:glories which have bean suceessfally perpetrated. An eatraordinary sad rather an amusing capture of three fellows gives some hopes, however, that a cheek will he put Mthe proceedings of the peg by whom the public have bma so long kept in a state of dread. It appears that on Sandal evening the Rev. Mr. Meade, Vicar of Wingfield, sear Bradford, Wilts, went to church with hie family, leaving the eieerege entirely unprotected. About half-past six o'clock a little boy 12 years of age, named Henry Gilson, the as of the parish clerk sad constable, who was playing sear the vicarage, happened to have his attention attracted by two strange men, whom he afterwards saw enter the Rev. Mr. Meade'e premises. He immediately went to the eburch, and communicated to his father, who was °Heisting at the time, his suspicions that all Mee sot right at the vicarage. Mr. Gilson, think lag it no harm to de good on the Sabbath Day, at once 'attempted the usual formalities of the public wor ship by desisting his suspicions that the parson's worldly goods were is deriver, and lifter a short conference the con gregation set off towards their pastor's hooey, which they seesplstaly surrounded, thus cutting off all means of 'scope. Some of the boldest of them then entered sad found there a fellow aimed Joeepli Withy, a returned convict, and two others of the same stamp, whom there is reason to believe • ars ticket-of-leaes men. All doubt as to the object of thew staiavited visitors was speedily removed by the discovery 1 . that alerge quantity of plate bad been peeked up in the no. gentleman's carpet beg ready for removal, and would " iambi haws Men speedily transferred to some distant =III afilf the opportune discovery, as • vehicle was hem the se ghboorhood by the supposed confide- Meg of the thieve, soon after the congregatio• so unex pectedly emerged from the church. The burglars were se ased and handed over to the police, by whom they will be bpseen before the magistrates without delay. • TILE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA.—The lest re • port of the Protector of the Aborigines hag recently been it' published, bet beyond testifying to the rapidly diminishing t Bombers of the satire tribes, it claims little of us iatanotiog • gibmerster.

Few changes have taken place in the position of the fleet during the past week. The only movement of any importance has been the rust of the various block-ships from the Cronstadt blockading squadron, which have added to the pennants under Admiral 1/undas at this anchorage. On the 28th the Cruiser, Captain Douglas, left for Memel with a disabled collier in tow. She ta subse quently to take the plate vacated by the Builisk, and cruise off the coast of Courland. Every paper we rt cries from Sweden and Denmark acknowledges the rigour of this year's blockade, and expresses surprise at the vigilance of our cruisers, who effectually exclude every intercourse along the im meow tract of coast from Polangen, near Memel, to Happaranda, in Swedish Lapland. The Finns evidently Gaffer the most from the blockade, u they are altogether dependent on the barter trade with Sweden for the common necessa ries of life. This ie also the case with the wretched population of Odensholm and Dagero, at the entrance to the Gulf of Finland, many of whom attempt to run across to Sweden in open boats, at the risk of their lives, in hopes of obtaining a few bags of salt. Their wretched condition generally creates commiseration, and our cruisers invariably send them back to their homes furnished with many luxuries previously unknown to them. This is an English requital for the barbarous massacre at Haag°, an appropriate contrast between an enlight ened and a semi-civilised nation. The Vulture, Captain Glasse, hie been on shore off Hango Head and sustained serious injury to her bull and keel, besides the loss of her anchors. She will mast probably be sent home in a day or two. The French still retain their gunboats and mortar vessels oat here. A transport has also arrived from France with upwards of 5,000 rockets on board, said to be of a new and formidable kind, supposed to range 6,000 yards. This has given rise to a rumour which now is current in the -fleet, that another attempt will be made in the Out before the close of the season. _ _ _ _ . The French Captain of the Fleet has proceeded home with important despatches, and his return is anxiously looked for by our allies, who couple his departure with the above report. The small tug steamer, cut out by the Tartar's boats at Biorneborg a few weeks back, has bad a gun put into her, and now acts se a tender to the Tartar. The other steamer captured by the Archer at Libau, on the coast of Courland, in the spring, has done good service as a tug at the depiit at Ferri). The ships at this anchorage are Duke of Welling ton, Royal George, Hogue, Blenheim, Cossack, Geyser, Vulture, and Merlin ; besides all the French ships. The Hawke and Desperate are blockading the Gulf of Riga. The Cruiser, Archer, and Conflict, are cruising along the coast of Coarland ; the Esk, Tar tar, Harrier, Firefly, and Retribution, are in the Gulf of Bothnia; the Edinburgh, off Haogo Head; the Russell, Pembroke, and HastiOgs, at the anchorage in Barn Sound ; the Amphion is off Bweaborg, and the remainder of the fleet, under Admiral Seymour's orders, watching the fleet in Cronstadt. The gun-boats are dispersed round the Gulf, and, like so many mosquitos, visit the different creeks and corners, and leave their sting behind. The Commander-in-Chief and the Captain of the fleet have been over toßaro Sound is the Merlin, sur veying vessel. Captain Caffin has lett for England, and Captain Fanshawe, of the Cossack, has taken the command of the Hastings. The officers engaged at Sweaborg are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the next mail, and the pro motions consequent on the late successful bombard ment. From various accounts derived from the islanders in and around Helsingfors we have had confirmation of the accounts previously transmitted of the effects of the conflagration consequent on the bombardment of Sweaborg, and in addition learn that the three decker, La Itussie, of 112 guns, which was moored head and stern across the postage between Ark- Ho'men and Oustahvard, was so crippled by the gunboats' shot that the day after we left she sank in deep water, and is lost to the imperial navy. One 13-inch shell passed through three of her decks and killed 11 men, wounding 40 others, — this the government papers even admit, — the islanders also report the destruction of two new steam-frigates building, supposed to have been ready for launching this autumn, besides eighteen small craft, all government vessels. This is very satisfactory, and I think the silence on the subject of the result proves that the Russian government is unable to deny what was evident to several thousand spectators, and that a conflagration extending over a mils of buildings should only have destroyed " • few buildings and s he ds on East Svarto" is prepostemus, and gives the lie to the government despatches. We have only to regret that no troops were ready or at hand to take advantage of the din and contusion, as it is probable five or six thousand men of the Alma and Inkerniann stuff would have carried the place by a night attack. A letter from Elsinore, in the Cologne Gazette, states that a rumour is current of its being the inten tion of the British government to let the fleet winter in the Swedish port of Landscrona, which rarely freezes. Negotiations on the subject are said to be I going on between Stockholm and Loudon. THE LOWER DANUBE. BUCHAREST, Ayoub: at. Within the last week large bodies of Russian troops have arrived and taken up a position on the swampy and unhealthy islands between the principat arms of the Danube, and the shore batteries have been inspected and put in a good state of defence. An other fact is, that the passable fords of the river a re attentively watched and strongly guarded. Perhaps the object of these movements is defensive rather than offensive. Fresh disputes have arisen between the Haspodar and Mr. Colquhoun, the British Consul-General, re specting the Wallaehian contingent of troops (35,000 men) to be furnished to the allied armies by order of the Porte, and which has hitherto been left undone under some plausible pretext or other. The Austrian Consul-General, it must be confessed, does everything in his power to supply the prince with good excuses for the delay, and openly supports him in his opposi tion to the will of the Sultan.

BRUCE (1101 C LAST NIGHT'S GAZYIII.) THE DESTRUCTION OF PETROPAULOVSKI. ADMIRALTY, SIPS. 10. Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been received from Roaradmind Brace, Commander in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels on the Pacific station : President, at Petropan ovski, June 15. Sir,-1 have to report, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that arriving found off this port, on the 30th May, I _ the place corn . : pletely evacuated ; not a ship, gun, or person to be seen ; nothing but empty embrasures and deserted houses. 2. I entered the inner harbour no the following day in the Barracouta, accompanied by Captain Penanroa, of the French frigate Alceate, when we found three Americans (the only residents left), from whom we learned that the Russian ships named in the margin• were cut through the ice, and took their departure, on the 17th (sth) April, with all the guns and munitions of war, and all the soldiers and government employes, 800 in umber 1 but of their destination we could obtain no clue. 3. 1 reached the rendezvous, lat. 50 deg. N., lon. 160 deg. E., in my flag ship, on the 14th May, and the Dido and Pique arrived the same day ; the En counter and Berracenta bad been there since the 14th April. Great credit is due to Captain O'Cal laghan and Commander Stirling for the melons exer tion b 7 which they effected this object; and their lordships will remark the promptitude with which they were despatched by Rear-Admiral Sir James Stirling: 4. The French frigate Alosste and the Brisk were in the vicinity of the rendezvous at the same time; bat the prevalence of thick fogs and adverse weather prevented my seeing the Bay of Aoootska before the 20th ult„ when, six of the ships being together, I trusted to the prompt appearance of the seventh, and accordingly proceeded to the port in tow of the Bar racouta, followed by the Alesete in tow of the Brisk. The Dido, Pique, and Encounter arrived the same evening. . 5. Commander Stirling, of her Majesty's steam sloop Barracants, while separated from the squadron, haring, during a break in the fog, looked into the anchorage to see if it was there, took, with much judgment, that opportunity of reconnoitring the har bour; and I was informed by him of the ships being no longer in it. 6. The Amphitrite, from Honolulu, having met me on the 11th inst., while I was in the act of follow ing the Russian ships into the Sea of Ochotsk, and given me such information as to convince me that a combined English and French force was already there, instead of proceeding I despatched her Ma jesty's ships Pique and Buneouta on the 13th, and Amphitrite on the 14th, to reinforce the squadron of Sir James Stirling at the month of the Amoor. The Encounter sailed on the 12th for Sir James Stirling's' rendezvous at Haksdadi, in the Strait of Maternal, to inform his Excellency of the movements of the other ships, in case he should not have lett there. The Amphitrite will rejoin my flag off Silks, so soon as Captain Frederick finds her services are not required in the Sea of Ochotsk. 8. Resuming the subject of Petropanlovski, I would observe that the enemy must have worked in an indefatigable manner after the departure of the allied squadron last year, as we found 9 batteries for 54 guns had been constructed with much skill and labour, by means of fasciae' strongly bound together, 25 test thick, staked and filled in with earth, and some of them ditched round, with covered ways lead. lug from one to the other, and trees planted in the rear. Every . possible preparation had been made to receive us prior to the orders arriving from St. Peters burg to evacuate the place. 9. I caused the batteries to be destroyed, but, having met with no opposition on approaching Petro paulovaki, I considered it a point:of honour to respect the town. 10. I found hidden in the Rakovia Harbour a fine Russian whaler, of 400 tons, called the Aian, built at Abo, in 1853. She would have Rafted from here three weeks since for Aian, with the family of the governor of the place, aod, among other articles of cargo, an engine for a small steamer said to be there, but the opportune arrival of some of the squadron off the port prevented her leaving. As I found her deserted, and her sails, boat, and anchors are not to be found, she will be destroyed. 11. I am disappointed in not having succeeded in opening a communication with the inhabitants, who have fled from the town ; for I hoped to obtain the release of the two English prisoners they have among them. I learn, however, from the Americans that they are very well treated. 12. In conclusion, I desire to add that, although it has necessarily been a great disappointment to the squadron under my command to find upon arrival at this place, more than 2,000 miles outside their station, that the enemy had escaped and the batteries were deserted, yet their lordships will not fail to observe that not the less credit is due for the great zeal sod anxiety that has been shown by each of the ships in pushing onward in the hope of being in time to take part in the anticipated operations at this port. 13. The best understandiog subsisted between Cap. fain Penanros, of the Almate, and me, and I cannot say too much in favour of the zeal and activity be displayed to meet every wish of mine, and to keep the appointed rendezvous; the same continues with re spect to Rear-Admiral Fourichon.—l am, &0., H. W. BRUCE, Rear-Admiral and Commander in. Chief. The Secretary of the Admiralty. President, off !Hike, July 17. Sir,—l request you will inform the Lords Commie sienna of the Admiralty, that before leaving Petro paulovski, I succeeded in opening • communication with Captain Martiohoff, the temporary governor of that place, who had retired into the interior, having for its object the release of two taken last year, as reported in my gene letter of the 15th ult. Having forwarded a safe-conduct to Captain Mar tinhoff. through the kind offices of aa American resi dent in Petropaalovski, that officer sent 150 vents inland for them, and on their arrival, on the 25th ultimo, delivered them up to Captain Houston, of her Majesty's ship Trincomalee, and three Russians that had been detained on board the French brig Oblipdo since last year were given in exchange. The two men proved to be William Garland, ordi nary seams*, of her Majesty's ship Pique, and Pierre Langois, of the French frigate Forte. The latter will be banded over to the Forte on my arrival at San Francisco, and the former will, at his own request, be appointed to the Brisk, his proper ship having sailed for the China station. Both appear to have been treated with much kindness during the Urns they have been in the hands of late enemy.—l have, &e., H. W. BRUCE.

Yesterday some hundreds of persons took up their position on the steps of the Soya' Zags's', mod swooshed the Manston•house, from the portals of which they si• peorad the civic promotion to emerge. They were, hovover, doomed to disappointment. The Lord Mayor had •ot »tamed trom p Sheffield, when he had boa oa a ~it to the Muter Cutler, and, moreover, were Daly customary wins Imam is Us- eland. It is true that last year Alderman Sidasy made an bunvation upon the usual course when the despatch of no battle of the Alma was communicated to t►e Man sioc-honse, bat the precedent has sot on this occasion been followed. At the West End, the principal point of attraction wen the residence of the French ambusador, Albert pa, whichwas known to have been splendidly illuminated on Monday night, hot the fittings had been re moved esrly in the evening, and thus a sight was missed, by anxious thousands, which is described by spectators of the previous night se having been mageificent in the extreme. This disappointment is the more to be re retitle from the feet that the order for the illumimation of the Albassadortal residence was not given until half-past sit on Monday night, sad at midnight when the prepera tions were finished, there were few passers-ly to admire the brilliant spectacle. The three sides of the house were bril liantly lighted, and around earth of the windows in the front wee fixed als rge dear), 30 feet square, with the French and English =was, the flogs of each nation, and the letters N and E, V and A., surrounded by immense laurels. There were also the letters composing the word " Sebastopol," in red, whits, and blue, the illumination consisting altogether of 10,000 lamps. DUBLIN, TCISDLT. Ireland echoes back the shout of triumph for the fall of Sebastopol. Never did news cause such a thrill of joy within the memory of the present generation. The glorious intelligence reached Dahlia about a quarter pest 5 p.m. yesterday, by the telegraphic wires, and we inetanta• soosely communicated to the newspaper (Awe by the manager of the Magnetite Telegraph Company, Mr. Lusg ster, who displayed the utmost seal and energy on the occa sion. In a moment placards made their appearance, the news spread with the tepidity of lightning, and in an incon ceivably short time it seemed to have reached every ear, and every heart, too, and a general murmur might be heard as if the city joined in one prolonged cheer. The enitement was eatraordiamy. Every one congratulated his or her neighbour, and every ms's heart appeared to es pond with the joyful sews. LIVERPOOL, TOISDAY. The intelligence of the captors of Sebastopol, brought to hand at an hoer yesterday when the majority of the merchants had left off business, was received in the Brehm's' News Room with lout cheers from those present. The news spread with a celerity perfectly astounding, end created the greatest erciteraent. It was also announced from the stage of the different theatres, the audience in all cases being most vociferous is their applause. The bells of the different churches have rang merry peals at intervals to day, the Royal Standard has been hoisted in front of the Town Hall, and the Union Jack floats over the various public buildings—in many eases in conjunction with the Preach tricolor. The line of docks end river presents gay appearance ; many easels are showing all their bunting. MANCHESTER, TVZSDAY. The Town•hell, the Exchange, and hundreds of I private berildlep hoisted Sage, and some of the church belle , gave forth merry peals.

In fact, the neve seems to have sheathed attention in all circles, and unapt all classes, and the moat cordial greetings have been heard on all sides throughout the day. LEEDS, TUESDAY. it of the fall of Sebastopol last evening produced the liveliest sensation in Leeds.

The news of the capture of Sebastopol arrived in this city last evening, at about hall-put Nis o'clock. It was immediately conveyed to the Mayor (Kr. John Dew) who lost no time in waking it as public as possible.

The Tribunal of Correctional Police of Brussels was occupied on Thursday and Friday with a trial of some Inte rest to the English on the continent —namely, that of Mr. John Admen, Bir William Magnify, and Mr. John Master man,directote of the Luxembourg Railway, on the chugs of swindling. Mr. Ashwell alone appeared, the other two gentlemen being tried by default. After Mr. Ashwell had, in answer to questions, Meted his age to be 65, that he had no profession, resided at London, and had been con demned in any court of law—the Substitute of the Prom four do Roi briefly explained that the charge was baud oa the allegation that the three gentlemen bad appropriated the greater part of 10,600 share., and of a sum of 35,750 fr., which bad been confided to them to employ, in secret purposes, in promoting the in terests of the company, or to use the expression em ployed In procuring ixfluence in Belgium." In support of the charge, it was stated that Mr. Ash well, for bie part, had resolved 6,600 shares to distribute on behalf of the company, bat that a long time after he was found to be in possession of moat of the shares, and receiving the istaroat on them.

Magary and Mr. Rasterman, it was emitted that they had severally received 2,000 shares on behalf of the company, but, instead of ,distributing them, bad re tained them in their own hands, sad had received interest on them. It was further alleged that the grant of the shares and of the 35,750 fr., instead of being regularly mentioned in the boi be, was reourded under the head of " purchases of land," or of " engineering and law expenses." Finally, it was stated that, in ob. taiaing shares and money for secret purposes, the defendants heel deceived the shareholders, inasmuch as no secret negotiations were necessary, either to obteia the con cession of the railway from the government, or to procure from it the g ee of a minimum of interest, which we. subsequently accorded.
