The miscreants concerned in this outrage isl ipli the latch of the door from the outside, it is to be nerd with the hope or intention of consuming the labs- We are happy to hear they did not suecred in ' t vi le intent. Th e only reason we can learn for this outrage is, that as Woodranger, and doing his to hi s em ployer, he some time since gave information , .4 pose timber having been stolen, and that oh searching it, it was found. We lately noticed the sailing of the Isabella transport. ipith 400 convicts on hoard, for New South Wales. On Wedoesdav last 180 others were drafted from the Surprise b a lk, to the Medina, note lying at Cove, Which, hawing then received the number she is capable of carrying, will ail the first fair wind. The vacancies which have been matod in the hulk by these quick and successive removal., have been since filled up from the depot in this City, several large bodies having been sent down during the last two or three days. The dins itch need in completing these vessels forms a singular contrast with the system which was in use on this station a few years ago. Of this we could not, perhaps, give 4 stronger instance than this plain fact, that the Isabella, which only arrived in the river on the 6'h inst. had bar unusher on hoard on the Bth—and the Medina which arrived on the Nth, had her complement completed cm the following Jay; whereas, under the old system, it wag not unusual for transports to remain at Cove for several weeks. withont any arrangement or preparation for sending them to sea, by which an expensive demurrage was entailed on the Coantry, amounting in one instance, within our own recollection, to some thousands of pounds, and in others, to teeny hundreds.(Cork Paper ) On Sunday, the 24th instant, several thousands of coun try people aasettilil-d on the Kilpatri , k road. abont two miles froin Bandon, f,r the purpose, it should seem of en gaging in the lawlims and dangerous practice of bowline. The Km Joseph Jervois, with his nsnal attention to• the duties of the Magisterial office, despatched some of the new police. .who immediately di-persed the multitude. It was understood that they would return next day in greater numbers, inclined to make resistance• to any interruption offered them; they did so t and Mr. Jervois, accompanied by the police, again dispersed them. About seven o'clock that evening, a party of over 100 men, a great proportion of whom were armed with large cedgels, assembled outside Mr. Jervois's gate, near Bandon, and commenced a riot Mr. Jervois, with two of his ser treats, and the Bandon h idewell-keeper, who was present, advanced to disperse them.

A large number afterwards assembled at the old 1. hapeb cross, wear Bandon, and manifested every dispos;tion to memos rioting; so flinch so, that Mr. Jerwris, at the hour of ten at night, had to repair there with the Polire, and read the Riot Art before they would diaperar.

ASTRONOMICAL EXPRDITION. • • The (following is an extract of a letter from an Officer on board of his Majesty's gun brig the Oriper, Capt. Sabine,' on her voyage to the North Pole:— Hamesersfast Bay, Norwegian Lapland, Julie, 1823- "We arrived here safe en the 2d inst. having left the None on the 11th ult. For the first week or ten days'we had a favourable broom, after which we were detained by contrary winds instil we made Norway, coast* along the land.

The weather is pow getting better, as summer is rapidly ad vancing, and we have a continuation of day-light all the 24 bours, the sun never setting below the horizon. We take oar meal, mechanically, every four hours: and with respect to sittry.just as we feel inclined. The island is about 24 miles in circumference, and five or six in breadth, and gives name to a small town of shoot 30 or 40 wooden houses. con- hieing about 200 inhabitant.. Capt.

Ireland, owing to very abundant grass, will exceed that of last season by 80,000 firkins! The agriculture of Ireland is so improved, that nearly 300,000 quarters of oats have been imported into the Port of Lou don from that kingdom sines the Ist ofDctober last; an 4 by the last accounts it appears, that the farmers have just commenced netting a finer crop .8 wheat and oats, in the counties of Wicklow, Kildare, 'AMI N Meath, and Louth, than that of last year. Next week reaping will be general throughout Ireland. and tbi represent the fields as loaded with wheat and oats. HA RV EST. 'The harvest is become general, and the crops of every des otkiption are abundant, and of the best quality.--(Bath aironicte.) The reapers are now in full activity throughout the country, and we are most happy to state that whatever may be the ree ports circulated by those interested In spreading uufavouroble rumours, the crops are abundant and good. The rains, al though of long continuance, have not affected the harvest, or et least only in the slightest manlier; and should the present One weather be permanent, of which there is every prospect, the cbrn will be got in, in fine condition. It is, we under stand, fully. expected that there will be more than an average crop. in some districts oats do not look well, but, generally peak lug, they are good . Barley is very fine.--(iiriplifon Gazette.) The harvest has now become general throughout the larger perdess of this county, and the few days of doe weather we Itaire lessntiessed with, bate given life and spirit to the far mers, whose fields present • scene of activity, bustle, a nd cheerful labour. A large quantity of wheat, excellent in quality, has been housed In floe condition, and if the weather continues favourable, very shortly the exhilarating shouts of " harvest home " will reed the Welkin os all sides, and startle the stillness of dusky night with theitecno of the jocund sound. The barley is mostly a fine crop, and the apples are abundant in some Meadow, though mostly small iu size. The hop yards ere a complete blank, and the visiting exciseman will have a sinecure this year, for we do not koow one person whose ground will produces bag of hops. We are truly sorry for many of the poor, to whom the hop-picking used to be a source of profitable employmeut. On Monday last (Ist inst.) we understand about 60 bushels of wheat, kiln dried, the pro duce of a farm in this neighbourhood, were delivered at the Hay, and the price and sample were satisfactory to grower and purchaser.—( Hereford Journal.) Mr. John earaher, of Dundalk, contoneuced cutting a fine field of oats last week, we believe the first cut in the vicinity of that town Time crops on the big .ly cultivated lands for wiles around Dandalkere most luxuriant but backward. Should the present fine webther continue. we may soon expect a plen tiful and general harvest.—(Dublis Ks:calks Post.) A field of wheat, belonging to Mr. M'Ciutrk, of Newtowo ) Drogheda, was cut on Friday on the banks of the Boyne, Ole low Green-hills. Several fields will be fit for - reaping in the neighbourhood of Drogheda, in the course of this week.-- (ibid.) CANTERBURY, September 1.-.-Our best grounds have made a fair progress within the last week, and will furnish the mar kets with some fine samples; but owing to a great number of acres being almost tetally unproductive, the ensuing average crop is not called more than from three to four hundred an acre. The picking will commence next Monday, the Bth inst., but we believe it will not be general till the lath. The 'hem in the neighbourhood of Salisbury bat been nearly gat in. The crops of all kinds {says our correspondent) are excellent, and promise through the winter to afford • cheap leaf to the constatmtr.—(Dreizes Paper.) The immense swarms of wasps have, ill this neighbourhood, been very troublesome to reapers, who have, in some in stances, found It necessary to employ the sight previous to the commencement of their laboure, in desire) Ng the nests of of those insects. In • field at Earl's Croome, near Hpton-i upen-Severn, a few days since, ease hundred nests were de stroyed. and in another held, within • mile of that place. the number found'waa 47. It cannot be too widely circulated that u speedy end simple antidote to their sting may be found in the leaf of the broad leaved ?mutant, 'which. being bruised a:.l rubbed on time part staug, will la • few minutes remove all pain and inflammation; the sane remedy is applicable to the stings of bees, gnats, Ac.—( If J.mraal.)

Much corn has neeu tut, and some of It gathered In excel- lent condition, and exceedingly satisfactory, - both as to quality and quantity.—New oats were In our market a fortnight since, but new wheat has not yet, we believe, made Its appearance, though there a ill doubtless be some sem les of it to-morrow. We know a person hi this neighbourhood, who is thrashiag a considerable quantity, and soma of it will •be gron , d at the mill, before the close of the wook.—(NeffinOMm. &Wm, September b.) . The wheat on shock, during the rains, was beginning to sprout, sod had the wet continued only one day longer, the in jury must hive been most seripus and extensive ; but fortu nately a few dry ays at the close of the mouth have most op. portunely checked the bad effects of previous moisture, and enabled thefarrner to get in a greet deal of eqrn.

They may, perhaps, be more fortunate than their earlier neighbours.—(Norwich,. ,September 4.) • The fine weather has had a wonnderful effect.on the markets in this county ; and the crops, which are excellent, are now getting up, with Very'few exceptions, in . fine condition. A few wheat ricks, about Chictester, which had been made In too great haste, have been taken to pieces by their owners, and reconstructed.—(Brfeston Herald.

A more propitious week than this which is now passing away, hat scarcely ever shone. Not a shower has fallen to interrupt the work of the reaper, nor a cloud appeared to hasten prematurely the, carrying of the sheaves. A brisk wind has rapidly dried what the fervid gays of the sun had fast brought to ma.turity • and if the like weather continue spottier week , the apprehensions that were entertained at the lateness of the harvest , will, in the southern counties, give way to the rejoicing at the uncommon fineness and abundance of din produce.

An accident of the most distressing kind, occurred lb Castlesupare, on Thursday morning last.—A workman, employed oh the building appertaining to the Palace, which overlooks Castle-stymie, while engaged in hammet ing some work on the roof, inadvertently suffered the ham mer to slip from his' grasp, when singular and dreadful to relate. the implement, which was one of a very heavy kind, fell on the head of a 13001' girl, 13 years of age, who was attending a berenor of fruit at the corner. on the pavement below, and fractured her head in the most dreadful man ner. The poor ea tkrer was instantly conveyed to the house of Messrs. Brewster and Co. for surgical assistance. The operation of trepanning Was immediately performed. and several large portions of the skull were, we Understand, removed. - She was, subsequeintly; borne on a neck to the dispensary, where, we hear, she now lies in a very danger ous state; though, from the Promptitude and skill with which the neceuary operations were performed, hopes are entertained of her surviving, and by the latest accounts, she was going on as well as could possibly be expeeted.— (Brighton Medd.) A very serious accident occurred on Wednesday morning, at the erection now building in Rutland Street, Notting. ham; for the Female School of Industry, and the St. James's Church Sunday School. The school is raised to the square, and on the back part of the building, two flights of stone steps had been erected on the *aside. Samuel Lane 4 the master brlcklayer y and William Pem berton, one of his men, were upon the scaffolding, finishing the additional well necessary for the support of the steps, while Robert Chambers, a labouree, was digging away the earth at the foot of the wall, preparatory to laying the foundation of attother part of the building. This operation loosened the earth upon which the wall good, and it suddenly gave way, bringing down the wall, steps, scaffolding and men also! Chambers was fortunately enabled to retreat to the furthest corner, of the hole which he was digging; Pemberton fell from the snit . ..doling op .n Chambers, so that the former was verylittle hurt, and though Pemberton received sonic severe bruises, it is ex peeled he will he able soon to resume his occcupation. Mr. Lane was not so fortunate. He was precipitated to the ground, and two of the stone steps fell in such a way a, to shield him, in some measure, from the weight of the mass of ruins under which he was buried. Persons immediately began to remove the bricks and rubbish, brit they were sumttime before they could find him, and at length, when - got out; he was fmtird to be dreadfully bruised and hurt.— (Nottiogisom &nivel.) On the Rd inst. a man named Wm. Goodman, whilst at work on Belvoir Castle, was precipitated from a height of 36 feet ; he, ell OR his head, lois brains were dashed out, em 4 he expired intreediately.

This is the 7th man who has been killed at Belvoir Castle since the tire there in 1817 ; all of wham hare left widows and children, who are provided for by the Dake.—(. hcetes berry Chreniele.). t Ananatrwo Film—This morning, about 2 o'clock, an alarming fire broke out riche house of air. Howell, a car penter, residing in Chancery Lane, which burnt with a real fury, and speedily cothinunieated to the adjoining houses of Mr. Cathcart, a LAW Stationer, and air. Walms ley, a Sheriff's officer. In consequence of the firemen not being able to obtain a supply of water on the first arrival of the engines, great fears were entertained for the safety of the sina'l houses 'halted at the back, in Chichester Rents and Bishop' Court, several of which were damaged. In a short time, *however, a sufficient sapply of water ' was obtained, and the progress ,of the destructive element was soon arrested by the exertions - of the firemen. Mrs. Cathcart, who, we were into pied, had not ' long since hero pot to bed, and had not recovered from her accoucheinent, was carried out in the arms of four men, ! and conveyed in a dreadful state of alarm to the honse of Mr. Randall. the pogili.t and publican, at the Hole in the Wall, Chancery Lane, where every humane attention was shown her. The house of Mr. Cathcart only, we wider stand, was insured. but to an anionut far below his actual loss. The engines were playing upon the ruins this fore noon, at eleven o'clock.'

The fire engines were quickly on the spot, and tho Ugh the supply of water was scanty, yet they were worked with so moch rigour, that the fire was got under very soon after their arrival. It has been the fashion, of late, to rail against the town engines, we have the satisfastion to-state that, ow this occasion they irere in excelleot order.

On Wednesday week, an accident occurred, at Keg worth, through the imprudence of a person of the name of Braithwaite, delivering into the hands of a boy, a loaded gun to take home. The boy met a young woman, and pre sented it at her, but it missed tire.

By this time an immense 'concourse of spectators had assembled i a Soho-squire and the tejscent streets. who•loudly greeted the intrepid adveuturers. From the rradual manner in whidh the balloon nt ftrst ascended, strong fears were .enter ' teined, that it would not deer the tops of the houses. 'They were not, however, realised, and on coming into Soho•square, the sefonants threw out a quantity of ballast, and the balloon ascended rapidly, taking a steady course towards the •county of Kent. In about twenty minutes after its ascension it entered a cloud, and for a few moments was oot visible—afterwards it was again seen for • short time, and then disappeared altoge • than. The fineness of the weather added greatly to the gene ral effect; and from the calmness of the evening, sanguine hoped were entertained that the aerie: voyage would come to a successful close.
