In Charter house-lane, St. John street, lives a baker of the name (being a German,. suppose) of Reckwitz. A wag observed to one of his customers. " You are by no means the first who have been obliged to rase sirs for their bread !" We hear much of the want of affection in cats. The following anecdote is known in Italy, under the name of " The cat of the Cemetery :"—A beautiful peasant girl, of Monte Orsano (a village in the south of Italy), suffered an epileptic 'Deletion, which frequently struck her to the earth in the midst of the village festival or church ceremony. Vows and offerings were made in vain for the cure of this incurable disease. If the saints, however, were negligent, Clementine had one friend whose vigilance never slumbered. It was her cat, who not only shared her and her punkt, but followed her in her walks and devotion from the vine yard to the altar. The first time that Mina saw her young mistress fall in a fit, and wound herself against a tomb in the village cemetery, she exhibited the most extraordinary emotion. She soon acquired, from the frequent recurrence of the infirmity, the habit of watching its approach ; and at last seemed to have obtained such a knowledge of the change of countenance and .colour which usually preceded the attack, that she was wont, on the first symptom, to run to the parents of Clementine , and by dragging at their clothes, scratching at their persons or mewing in the most melancholy manner, she succeeded in awaken ing their attention, and trotted out before them, mewing them to the spot where her young mistress lay lifeless. Mine at last ob tained such confidence for her warnings that, en the first cry of 'the bdthibl cat, the friends of Clementina flew to her assistance before the incurred any injury from the sudden fall. At fifteen the malady of the beautiful Clementine brought her to the tomb. Her eat walked after the bier on which the body of her mistress was exposed, as is the custom in Italy, and covered with flowers. During the funeral service, she sat at the head of the bier, gazing with an Intent look on the lifeless features of her young mistress. When the grave was filling, she made a vain endeavour to jump is bat was withheld by the bystanders, who carried home the affec tionate animal after the melancholy ceremeay. Mina wes, however, seen the nut morning stretched upon the new mode grave, which she continued to visit daily ; bat, gradraftelg pining with sorrow, she visited it for the hot dos s ter a. ih agar her hissed Admen's death.

When folks their proverbs write, 'tsyere Well If they 4.little truth would tell, 3 And not be always lying so ; Teaching, at every fine display Of puNictolue, men to uy That "mosey makes the mare to ga" So when our Churchmen, full of zeal. Our hearts 'gainst filthy lucre steel, And preach that all is vile below ; Religion and the Church respect As Tithes to take, who can suspect That " money makes the mere to go ?" listralities some would abate, And make no Parson Magistrate; But why these merits overthrow? This cure of Souls and Bodies too Is all for love—and quite untrue That " money makes the mare to go " When less make laws in keep us out, No man on earth should ever doubt Their motives pure as unsunn'd snow, And from such sorry baseness shriuk As to impute, or seem to think That " mosey makes the mare to go." They talk of fees unfairly shared, As if they for the plunder cared— Ah, au! they little Lawyers know, Who bold the " learned" (if not the wise) To int'rest cling *—and so surmise That " mosey make. the mare to go." All pensioners are venal backs, Professon money-seeking quacks, Nought done pre bona public.- 0 ! wicked world—from justice far— To think in all—Church, State, and Bar- Thus matey makes Me mare to go !" • Prevailing opinions are often very ungenerous ; and, perhaps, In no instance more so than in those entertained of lawyers—even attorneys (gentlemen by Act of Parliament, if by no act of their own) cannot escape slander. We have actually heard barristers, the silk and stuff gowns of the Temple, compared to the silk and other gowns which, by owl-light, flit in and about the same quarter, and might bit called Night's Tempters. In the latter case, it is tree that " Money makes the Marc to go," and woe to any intruder on their beat, or Wend profession;—but It is scandalously affirmed, that the same temper and spirit actuate the former. One thing, it is admitted, is common—each is open to all parties, and in both cases it is a ready money budness--the touching of which, bnwever, we are told, is a source of equal snxiety and jealousy. We some times bear of men, on the Circuit, being sent to Coventry ; but it is asserted that this never happens to any one of the number who merely travel at their own expense for the pleasure of saying they gs the Circuit—but frequently when a young man Is perceived to be getting a good deal of business : errors and immoralities, in the Ant, are pleasantries ; the slightest peccadillo, even ript out of the bowels of past time, is, in the other, a high crime and mistle• meaner. It such things are said of Lawyers, what profession is safe? None surely, when the Elite of Sir James Scariest, " as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, cannot escape calumny."—Morning Chronicle. POPULATION OF IRELAND. A note in WYSE'S History of the late Catholic Asso ciation : The Protestant census of 1821 exhibits a total population of 6,801,487, of which 4,838,000 were stated to be Catholics, and 1,963,487 Protestants. Mr. Shaw Mason's returns from the clergy in 1814, on which I have already animadverted. allow a still greater proportion in favour of the Protestant interest. Of late years, however, it is well known there has been great diminution by emigration and otherwise, (ace statements of Protestants, Mr. Seymour 's speech. Mr. Peel's speech on the second reading of the Relief Bill, Ac.) and that the Catholics, by purchase of lands, Ac. have proportionably augmented. Even in the old corporate towns, and those parts of the North which from their contiguity to Scot land have hitherto been supposed to be exclusively Protestants, the Catholic population has been very rapidly gaining ground upon the Protestant. This has been remarkably the case in Derry, Bethel. Ac. in the South the same causes of course work with a greatly increased activity. Mr. O'Connell, as has been already remarked, from the returns of the Catholic census furnished from the com mencement of tie New Catholic Association to the 14th of June 1828 inclusive, calculated even in Ulster, two Catholics to one Protestant, and in Munster twenty .one Catholics to one Protes tant. But this calculation excluded the great towns, and is con fined to one-sixth only of the population, therefore liable to pre cisely the same objections that have been urged against Mr. Shaw Mason's report. The conclusions drawn from these premises are also extreme. Mr. O'Connell calculates the population of Ireland to amount actually so nearly ten millions. Mr. Malthus's theory would give something approaching to nine millions, a conjecture by no means improbable; of these nine millions, eight millions nearly ought to be Catholics. The Catholics of course must increase from physical and moral causes, far more rapidly than the Protestants. A population of eight millions forms a considerable nation, far sur passing most of the kingdoms on the Continent. The kingdom of the Netherlands, comprising Holland, Flanders, Ac. has not more than 5,600,000 inhabitants; Austria Proper not more than 5,200,000; Bavaria not more than 3,750,000, Ac. ; Saxony not more than 1,260,000. There are many indeed who do not admit this augmentation to have been so rapid or considerabk, and some recent calculators have attempted to reduce the present Catbeac population of Ireland to about 5,500,000, and to raise the Protes tant to 1,350,000; but this census is glaringly incorrect, and can not cohere either with theory, or experience. These errors have arisen, partly from the prejudices of rival sects, and partly from measuring the increase in Ireland by the same scale as that which is applied , to most other anciently civilised communities. The only country with which it can be compared, is America ; and what Mr. Burke once applied with so much truth, under parallel circum stances, to that country, is at this moment scarcely less applicable to Ireland. He stated, when concession to America was under discussion, that the population of America amounted to two mil lions and a half. This calculation was thought overrated. He continued : " This, Sir, is, I believe, about the true number. There is no occasion to exaggerate, where plain truth is of so much weight and importance. But whether I put the present numbers too high or too low, is a matter of little moment. Such is the strength with which population shoots in that part of the world, that state the numbers as high as we will, whilst the dispute con tinues, the exaggeration ends : whilst we are discussing any Oven magnitude, they are grown to it : whilst we spend our time in de liberating on the mode of governing two miWons, we shall find we have more million to manage."—Speech, March 22d, 1775. The justice of the above conjectures is put, however, beyond a doubt by much surer data, the synoptical tables of the population of Ire land from 1672 to 1821, published frequently. (See " Moreau 's Statistical Tables," p. 4. " Sadler's Ireland, its Evils, and their Remedies," p. 5, Ac. Ac.) They give a great increase: but there is reason to suppose that if the census had been more carefully taken, the result would have been still greater. CORRUPTION OF THE PRESS. The great instrument of Brunswick power was the corrupt press. It was conducted generally by the lowest description of Castle underlings. They were considered identified with the Go vernment ; and there were times, in the history of Ireland, when each opinion was just. All the partisans of old monopoly, every person however remotely connected with dice, expectant' in every form. but above all, and all occasions, the church, formed the, limit mass of its robacribers. They thought themselves bound by their allegiance and loyalty, " to aid the bands of government," by giving as much support and circulation to its real opinions (as they termed them) as was in their power. The circulation in Ireland was immense; in England ►y no means inconsiderable. The funds of tke party were expended in forwarding it to every inn of any note, however distant, in the sister kingdom. A regard to accuracy itnct truth, it may be easily imagined, was not amongst its charac teristics. Speeches wereinacle fur men who never spoke, small parties were convertedfnio immense meetings, clubi, e armies, &c. &c In the King's Colinty, a small family group, a few brothers and brothers-in-law, assembled. The supplement of the next Evening Mail was filled with the important proceedings, and on. tions of two columns in length given to the eloquent movers and seconders of the resolutions. But a lie that lams for a single day, will do its work. When the ends were such, it is futile to quarrel about the means. LIFE OF MOZART. From The Foreign Quarterly Review. At length ample justice is done to the memory of Mozart.— Independently of the high gratification which his admirers must defier from bring made acquainted with the habits and pecu liarities of , the man. the criticisms and opinions upon the art, contained in the familiar letters of this great master, constitute a legacy to the mu.ical world which is quite invaluable. They not only set at test many disputed questions of cute, hut e.tablish the correctness of some opinions, which a diffidence in their own judgment atone has prevented others front avowing. When Merest' Is arbiter. there can helm appeal from the decision. The revelations of the Biography before us throw a new light upon the subject of Mozart's invention, of his rank with respect to other composers, and of the real services which he rendered to music; and truly, in the contemplation of the sublime attributes of his genius, and the imagination and feeling which he displayed from childhood to matit.ood, there is enough to gratify his warmest admirer., and to elevate and ennoble humanity. Of his six and•thirty sinfonias for the full orchestra, it appears that Ilse half-dozen masterly compositions with which we are tantiliar in England were written considerably before Haydn's journey to this country to complete his engagement with Salomon; so that Mozart had reached perfection ia the sintonia style, and won the race, long before the man who had made the first strides in it, and who had the start of hint in years and experience. Respect ing the Operas of Mozart we bad also fallen into an error, which. it must he confessed, when their extreme excellence is con sidered, was a natural one, viz. that they had cost him at the rate of a year's labour each to polish and refine. Quite the contrary was the fact; " Idomeneo" occupied him but nix weeks, " La Clemenza di Tito" hut eighteen days ; these, be It remembered, are works which defy the most scrutinizing and rigorous examination, exhibit melodies which never tire, and un equalled management of the orchestra. For the production of these models of the dramatic style, Mozart required no longer time than a common place Italian composer takes for the concoction of his ephemeral novelties ; and it is not unreasonable to conclude, that bad his dramatic genius beds properly appreciated and en couraged, instead of being opposed, we might have enjoyed at least five-and-twenty operas front his pen. When we bring into one view all the qualifications of Mozart as a composer and practical musician, the result is astounding. The same man, under the age of thirty six, is at the head of dramatic sinfonias and pianoforte music—is eminent in the church style—and equally at his ease in every va• riety, front the concerto to the country dance or baby song; he puts forth about eight hundred compositions, including masses, motetts, operas, and fragments of various kinds; at the same time supporting himself by teaching and giving public perfor. mantes, at which be executes concertos on the pianoforte, the violin, or the organ, or plays extempore. But when we learn that the infant MOZART, at four years of age, began to compose, and by an Instinct perception of beauty made correct basses to melodies ; and also, that he became a great performer on two instruments, without the usual labour of practice, we cease to be surprised at the mechanical dexterity of his fingers in active life. when composition and other pursuits had engrossed the time usually employed ill re:. serving the power of execution." THE QUAKERS. The Epistle from the Yearly Meeting, held in London by adjournments, from the 20th of the sth month to the 29th of the same, inclusive, 1829, to the Quarterly and Monthly Meetings of Friends in Great Britain, Ireland, and elsewhere : Dena Fain :Ds—We are reverently thankful that we have been permitted to meet together on the present occasion, and to know the love of Guo shed abro.d in our hearts, through Jaws Camas o ur Lou, We have been favoured to proceed with the usual yet Important business of this Meeting in brotherly harmony, and have felt that our spiritual strength has been renewed by thus uniting in religious travail for the best welfare of our society. Amidst the ordinary engagements of this Meeting, we have re ceived accounts of the sufferings of our members, in support of our Christian testimony against tithes and other ecclesiastical demands, as well as in consequences of a few claims for military purposes : the amount thus reported is upwards of 13,8001. _ _ In proceeding to unfold the Christian solicitude which has pre vailed in this Meeting, we would express an earnest desire that the confidence of all our dear brethren and sisters may be humbly, yet firnaly, fixed upon Goo. He changeth not ; his compassion. " are new every morning :" his promises are sure ; and " his kingdom ruleth over all." His " word is settled in heaven ;" and " his faithfulness is unto all generations." His name "is a strung tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe." It pleased the Emma ' in his abundant mercy and love to the human race, In their fallen and lost estate, to give his only begotten Son, the L oao JMIUS CIODIST. that, " whosoever believette in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Oh ! then, that not one amongst us may, by neglecting or undervaluing this blessed means, come short of that rest which is prepared for the people of Gon. Alay we all, in true and living faith, accept the Saviour of men, as our Redeemer and deliverer from the thraldom of sin.— " In hint dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily :" He is that eternal word which in the beginning was with Goa, and was GOD; and who was made flesh and dwelt among men. He offered himself a sacrifice for our transgreseions, " the lust fur the unjust :" "we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins." He, our ever living Intercessor and " Advocate with the Favixa, Juno CHRIST the righteous," "Is passed into the Heavens," and " and sat down on-the right hand of the Majesty on high." These sacred and essential truths of the Christian religion were the faith of our early predecessors, and have been uniformly upheld by our society from their day to the present period. It is cause of thankfulness to us, that we can entertain the full persuasion that these truths are dear to our friends in this land, in Ireland, and on the American continent; although we have to mourn over many on the other side of the Atlantic, once in fellowship with us, who have widely departed from the true faith of the Gospel. The epistolary intercourse with our dear brethren in those countries has been maintained at this time to our instruction and comfort. In contemplating those highly important truths to which we have already adverted, we are renewedly convinced of the &teat need there is for a deep and constant sense of the infinite power and wisdom of Gun, and of the very limited faculties of the human mind. We ought to meditate on these things in humility and sin. cerity of heart ; and reverently and fervently to desire that our undemandings may be illuminated by the Huey Spirit : then will our faith in their vital importance become more firmly established, and our hearts glow more and more with gratitude to GOD for the inestimable blessings provided for us in the gospel of lite and sal vation. We are thankful that, as a Christian people, we are, through Divine mercy, one in faith : but how highly incumbent is it that we should belndividually concerned, not only to accept in simpli city the doctrinal truths of Holy Scripture, but earnestly to strive that we may be coming up in the practice of every Christian virtue ! Look then unto CHRIST, dear friends,we beseech you, that you may come to know him to " dwell in your hearts ty faith," and t• rule there by the power of his blessed and eternal Si irk. Be awakened to the necessity of working " out your own salvation by fear and trembling." Let the knowledge of your proneness, by nature, to transgress the law of the LORD, incite you to seek after a death unto sin and a new birth unto righteousness : and ever remember, that it is by faith and repentance, by prayer and ci!sedience, that the work of sanctification is to be carried forward. He thee Is concerned to live as becomes a consistent Christian (a character to which we all ought to aspire), will often meditate upon the precepts and example of our blessed LORD and Samoa ; precepts which, as they regulate the life of man, increase his happi ness and usefulness, prepare bins to niece with patience the trials incident to humanity, and to look forward to a participation in those joys which shall be hereafter revealed. And as we are enabled to follow, though at a distance, the great and perfect pattern set before us in the govel,lhe heart becomes expanded in love to Gun and man; and all those passions and dispositions are kept in sub jection, the unrestrained indulgence of which destroys the peace and harmony of civil and religious society. The bumble endeavour to observe the precepts of the gospel leads to purity of heart and conduct ; it induces strict integrity in all our transactions; and gives rise to the exercise of that meekness and charity which shine forth in the conduct of the true and prac tical believer in the Cbtistian religion. If we seek first the king dom of Goo and his righteonstiesa, we shall he instructed by the example of pious men, but not blind to their infirmities ; comforted by their society, bat not dependent upon it ; helped by religious elineenation, but not disposed to enter into it hAit o 7 or sura• daily. If we are concerned aright for the cultivation and demising of our own hearts, impressed with the importance o' our own stewardship unto Goo, sod duly sensible of our own alio. and et eat need of forgivesess front Hui, we shall become very cautious how we converse on the failings of others, and melons rot to violate that charity which is enjoined upon all; that love, which is the true badge of discipleship. A real hunger and thirst after righteousness will lead us gladly to embrace all opportunities of meeting together foe the public worship of ALIOGIITT Goo. We shall then feel ktobeOM of our greatest privileges thus to draw rear unto Hue, sod to unite in waiting upon and worshipping Hut in spirit and in truth. We shall rejoice to seek after the influences of his love and power, and to pour out our souls in secret supplication for the continuance of his blessing and preservation. At this time we have, in an especial manner, telt the advantage Of being constant in availing ourselves of those opportunities which are afforded as.. an the course of the week, of communing before Hut ;—occasions when we are called upon to withdraw front the cares and perplexities of life, and to seek the Loan and his strength. Nor will our approaches to the throne of Grace he confined to the attendance of religious meeting.. Impressed with the benefit and the need 3f a daily supply of heavenly help, we shall be often seeking for the renewal of our spiritual strength ; and in our private retirements, as well as in select opportunities in our families, for this purpose, as also fur reading the Holy Scriptures and the writ ings of pious authors, we shall seek to be imbued with a deep %eone of the power and presence of theMottourv. Discouragements of various kinds may prevail and abound in the course of our pil grimage; but bow obvious are the danger and folly of relaxing to " press toward the mark tor the prize of the high calling of Goo in CHILI6T Jaws!" And such are his conuescension and geodnes., that he at times permits those who pig their whole trust in him consolingly to feel that there are no joys like unto the joy of his salvation. The great importance of cultivating true piety and virtue is what we ate at this elate concerned earne►tly to press upon every one. If this become, as it ought to be, the main object of our lives, the fruit of the SPIRIT will be apparent. Rut we are constantly to bear in mind that this is not the place of our rest. The warlare must be maintained ; we can at no period pat off the armour with safety : we have au unweaned enemy to contend with, whose temptations are diversified, subtle, and insidious : the path at lite is an arduous our; but, thanks hr unto Hut who is Omnipotent, bia grace is all-sufficient. As Ha is daily sought unto, Hr streugtheueth our souls and increasetli our confidence in lint ; and it we faint nut, but persorrre unto the end, be will give the victory, through our Loan Jesus " Unto Him," then, " that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, acc..rding to the power that wotketb in us, unto Him be glory in the church, by CURL'S' *kiln, through out all ages, world without end. Amen." At a Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, held in London, by adjournments, Crum the 20th of the Sth month to the 2.9 th of the same inclusive, 1829. This meeting has been introduced into a feeling of much sympa thy and brotherly love for brethren on the American Continent. We have heard, with deep concern and sorrow, of the close trials to which they have been subjected by the diffusion of Anti-ehri•- tian doctrines among then.; and we consider it to be a duty to dis claim, and we hereby do disclaim, all connexion, as a religious so ciety, with any meetings for the purpose of worship or disciplire. which have been established, or which are upheld, by those who, have embraced such Anti-christian doctrines. And in order to prevent aty misapprehension as to our view., we teed ourselves called upon at this time to avow our belief in the inspiration and divine authority of the Oid and New Testament. We further believe, that the promise made, alter the transgres sion of our first parents, in the consequences of whose fall all the posterity of Adam are involved, that the seed of the woman should bruise the bead of the serpent ; and the declaration unto Abraham, " In thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed," had a direct reference to the coming in the flesh of the. Loan Jesus. To Him, also, did the Prophet Isaiah bear testimony, when he declared '• Unto us a child is burn, unto us a son is given : and the govern ment shall be upon his shoulder : and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, the mighty Gon, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace : of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end." And again. the same Prophet spoke of him when be said, "Surely he bath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows : yet we did esteem hint stricken, smitten of Gun, and afflicted ; but he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniqoities : the chagisentent of our peace was upon him ; and with his stripes we are healed." 'fire same blessed Re- DMUS is emphatically denominated by the Prophet Jeremiah, " the Lord our Righteousness." At that period, and in that miraculous manner, which Geo in his perfect wisdom saw ht, the promised Massiaa appeared per sonally upon the earth, when " He took nut on him the nature of angels ; but be took on him the seed of Abraham." He " was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without 5 , n." Havirg finished the work which was given him to do, he gave himself to us an offering and a sacrifice to Goo. He ta•ted death for every man. "He is the propitiation for our sins : and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." " We have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins." He passed into the heavens ; and being the brightness of the glory of GOD. " and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the blaacsrr on high;" and ever live:h to make intercession for us. It is by the Loao Jesus Caratar that the world will be judged in righteousness. Hs is the mediator of the new covenant ; " the image of the invisible Goo, the firstborn of every crea ture :—for by Hue were all things created that are in Heaven and that are In earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities ; or powers :—ail things were created by Hut, and for Hut :—and he is before all things, and by Hut all things consist." " In Hui dwelled.' all the fulness of the GODHEAD bodily :"—and to Hut did the Evangelist bear testimony when be said, " In the beginning was the word, and the word was with Goa, and the word was Goo. The same was in the beginning with GOD. AU things were made by him ; and without hint was nut any thing made that was niaile. In him was life ; and the life was the light of men." lir "was the true light, which Ilghteth every man t►at cometh into the world." Our blessed Luau himself spoke of his perpetual dominion and power in his church, when he said," My sheep hear my vnice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto ►hem eternal liter" and, when describing the spiritual food which he hestoweth upon true believers, he declared, " I am the bread of life : he that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." lie spoke also of hit saving grace, bestowed on those who come in faith unto him, when he said, " Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst ; hut the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life." Our religious society, from its earliest establishment to the pre sent day, has received these most important doctrines of Holy Scripture in their plain and *obvious acceptation; and we not ac knowledge as in fellowship with us, as a Christiyo community, any body of religious professors which does not thus accept them, or which openly receives and accredits as ministers those who attempt to invalidate any of these doctrines, which we esteem as essential parts of the Christian religion. It is the earnest desire of this meeting, that all who profess out name may so live and so walk before G.o, as that they may know these sacred truths to be blessed to them individually. We desire that, as the mere profession of sound Christian doctrine will not avail to the salvation of the soul, all may attain to a living effica cious faith, which, through the power of the How, Grua; bringing forth fruit unto holiness; the end whereof is everlasting lite through Jesus Omar ova Lose. " Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto Hug that sittrth upon the Throne, acd unto the Laws, for ever and ever." Le Constitutionnel contains a curious account of maidservant in the employ of Baulard, Levine, and Co., Rue de Montmartre, who, having gone into the church des Petits Peres to perform her devotions, had scarcely kneeled down when she was laid hold of by one of the reverend fathers with such violence that her arm long 'ruined the marks of his grasp. She was then handed over by him to two of the SCIVAIIIV, who b.ixed her ears, and turned her out of the church. The cause of all this pious ebullition was— the fair soubrette bad come to say her prayers witkesit taking the curliest papers out of her flair ! WII ALE FISH ING.—While the lateness of the whale fishery for several years pan does nut allow us to expect any arrivals or intelligence as to its euecest, for some time to come, it is a singular fact that not one of the Continental Seal-fishers, from the ports of Holland, the Elbe, Weser, &e. bas arrived, or been be4rd of, although they have generally been home in the latter end of May, and never later than June, so that there is reason to conclude they have fallen in to the westward, and got beset.--afbeniers Ckressiek Thursday night, it was thought, would be still more injurious to the crops than the receding one. being one of the most wet and stormy that has been remembered at this season. The rain, which had ceased about nine o'clock in the morn ing of that day, re-commenced at about four in the evening. and continued to fall during the entire night, heavily and uninternuttingly, accompanied with a gale, approadilag to a storm, from N. N. E. Disagrees effects were anticipated, -hut we collect from several intelligent persons who travelled in various parts of the country yesterday, that there is comparatively rimy little injury done, and that every where the crops are in excellent condition.
