The greater part of the harvest is secured in the sonthern and for. ward dit.tricts ; in the northern parts of England and Scotland, it Mill not commence until the tirq or second week in September. The new wheats altra-dy sent to market have presented a dry and tine sample. beans arc an universal great crop ; barley and oats ithout, orsomeuhat above, an average. Potatoes as well as turnips have suffered from the drought of the season, hut they are yet at a reasonable price, and in great plenty. from their very extensive cul tivation. Turnips arc only good in patchy, and the Swedes have generally suffered, in some Lauda being total:) , destroyed. Hops are a very irregular crop. A Cvnrour. F.t CT.—A bOla forty five years ago, a person in this comity lost three 51. notes, whether by accident, or his pocket had been picked, he could never dearly ascertain ; but a few weeks ago, 1w received a letter from a man, describing himself as in a very declining state, and informing him that two of his brothers and himself (at a certain ti-':e and place) had taken the opportunity whilst he slept, of picking his poi.ket of IN. Well they divided equally amongst thetli ; that one of the brothers was dead, and the other had lung since quitted the country. He concluded by ear nestly mine:sting that he would come to him and receive his share of the booty, and grant him his forgivenes., that he might die in peace, adding that if his death should take place before he reached him, the five pounds would be fonod in the hands of the Clergstnan of the parish. The person who had been plundered complied with the contents of the letter, found him still alive, received the pro mised dividend, forgave him, and the self-accused culprit died a few hours afterwards.— White/wen Paper. ti ii:inest was held at Portsmouth, on Friday, on the body of Fiances Colvin, who died in consequence of taking a quantity of arsenic. The dercited, who was about v 4 years of age, was a straw hat manufacturer and mantna maker in that town. It appeared, she had received the addresses of a young man for some time ; but he at length verceiving an irritability of temper in her, which was un congenial with his own, and with his views of future happiness, about three tnontliS since he abandoned all his intentions concern ing her, formed a similar connection with another young woman, and a few tley:s since was married. This last act, it would appear, nnseated the mind of the deceased, and she conceived a dreadful act of revenge, On Thursday morning; last, she purchased a pen knife, and in doing so, requested to have one as long in the blade as possible. She then went to a neighbour's home, and sent a mes sage to the young man to come thither, as a gentleman wished to speak to him. When he came, she said, " I am going to London— will you not drink with mei'' He just tasted of the cup, and return ed it.—She said, I Wish it had been poison—l understand (she continued) you are married ; are you not sorry fir it i" He replied, " No." Instantly she shuffled the pen-knife from tinder ner gown sleeve, and made a blow at him, inflicting a deep wound in the shoulder. The knife was broken three parts off by the Violence of the thrust ; but with the remaining part she contented to strike at his head, until, by his efforts, she was disarmed. Slie then left the house, proceeded to a druggist's shop, and bought a quantity of arsenic (tinder pretense that it was lb poison rats),snd went to her home at Green's-field, Green.lanc. There she put the arsenic into a cop, filled it up from the pump, and drank the principal part of the contents. In a few minutes afterwards she infoimed her parents and neighbours of what she bad done. Medical assi,tanee wigs sent for ; lint she had taken so large a quantity of the poison, that r was found impossible to make her void the whole of it from In .to mach. At half past five in the evening she dicd.—Coroner's diet, Lunacy. Sunday fortnight a barge belonging to Mr. Beasley, beavgdi ' ,n with groceries and other merchandize, returning from London to Reading; was met at Chewer l'oint, near Windsor, by a similar ves sel belonging to Mr. White, which► was sailing at a great rate, and the men on board being all in the stern, the bead of Mr. White's barge struck Mr. Beasley's in the side, stove it in, and she sunk. The goodr on board were nitich damaged, and the loss sustained by son►c tradesmen of Reading is nearly SOM.
