The genial heat of the sun, we doubt not, will counteract the bad effects of the ' inclemency of the preceding month; all fears respecting the crops are now distapated, and a continuance of this weather will insure us an abundant harvest, so that those specu lators who anticipated great profit on corn, in consequence of the late incessant rains, will now be disappointed.— (Cosearght Journal.) CLoNSlai.. WEDNESDAY, Auo. 27.—Two or three. tram ples of new wheat Caine to our market yesterday, which, though soft, brought Is. 3d. per stone. 'New here and barley are also beginning to appear—the former at I Is. to 12s. and the latter 12s. to 14s. per barrel. New oats, Led. per stone. The dry anti rather w.rm weather we have had in this quarter the last few flays has raised the hopes of the hus bandman; and; notwithstanding the croaking of the mono polist and speculator. we trust in Divine Providence for an abundant harvest.—(Limerick Chronicle.) A correspondent inforu.s us, that in a " Rural Ride," which he took within a few das through this county, part ofthe County of Kildare and the Queen's county, the crops were in the most promising state ; very little injury has been done even to the wheat, though it is acknowledged that this crop is not so abundant in produce as was expected. I—(Dst/dia Even. Poet.) Since the 35th lust. the weather has taken up, and we have every expectation of a fine harvest. St. Swithin's 40 dsys are out. 7 —(Carlote Morning Poet.) UMITCR.—A lientleman who has bad abundant opportu nity of acvirioge correct knowledge of the @tete of the. crops is this Province, has kindly favoured us with the fol lowing statement:— I WHEAT. —Not so extensive a sowing as last season, and consequently a smaller crop. The quality in general good and promising, though in some instances affected with rust, and partially with blight. However, if we have a continu ance of the present fine harvest weather, no fears may be entertained of our baring a goo 4 • ge supply. OATS.--A much more abundant crop than that of last season; any deficienry of wheat from last year's crop will be more than counterbalanced by a profusion of this article. The weather for the last month has been peculiarly favor able to this crop throughout Ulster, and the ideas about a fortnight since entertained of the bead not filling properly, will now be found, on examination, perfectly erroneous; the stalk is good and strong, therefore well able to support the I head which is almost luxuriant. BARLIT.—Of average quality and quantity to former seasons. POTATOIB.—A pretty fair crop; thongh owing to the great continuance of rain, during July and the early part of this month, in many places injured—thuse in plantation particularly. The weather now seems favourable for this, as well as all other articles of agricultural produce: .hould it continue, no apprehensions of a scarcity may be felt. FERMANAGH.—We have been at some pains to ascertain the general state of the crops in this and the surrounding counties, and the result of our inquiries and personal ob don is, that at no former period did the corn crops exhibit a finer or more healthy appearance, although somewhat slow in ripening. From the late heavy and continued rains, it was apprehended that a large portion of them might have been lodged, but the contrary, we are I happy to learn, is the case. The growth is &maxim+, and the weather, fur the last eight or ten days, favorable for the grain filling. Hay will he abundant, and in general tolerably well saved, particularly on the cut meadows Flax, of which great apprehensions were entertained in the be ginning of the season, has improved consideralriy by the rains, and is every where an excellent crop. From the wet ness of the foregoing part of the season, turf cannot he so good nor so plenty as might he wished: hut from the great exertions now making, we riven-tin strong hopes that the scarcity will not be so great as was apprehended.—(Enites killea Paper.) The late favourable change in the weather has made a very evident improvemeot in the crops. The reaping of Wheat has commenced in many parts, and the quality is very tine ; in no instance do we learn that any grain his been lodged, for the season being a•late one, the rains had not the same effect they would have had, if it bad been a forward one.—Galway Ad vertiser, Aug. SO. Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, a violent •creaming was haat.' to proceed from a house in Nat's Head-court, Gracechurch-street, which was in the care of a widow, named Saunders, who bad no other company than her two young children. The street-keeper, accompanied by several of the neighbours, repaired thither, and by means of a lad der (the street door being found shut), an entrance was effected at the first floor window. The two children were in a state of distraction, and calling ont, Molter, mother, she is dead !" un setrching the upper pit of the/muse no traces could be discovered of her, hut upon the landiogplaate a most quantity of blood was found. Mrs. Saunders was nit there ; drops of blooi, however, were traced down stairs to the cistern, where she was found is the •water head.foretnost and quite dead. Upon inspection a deep gash was found in her throat, which accounted for the blood upon the laraing4place. A common knife with which the wound is supposed to have been inflicted was found, but the blood was.partly .wiped off. A padlock generally kept upon the etreet-dour, as well as •the bolt, and another iron faetroing. was also , taken off.

The prisoner was there, and ap. peered to be acting as waiter. Having drank some punch, witness asked the prisoner s to conduct him to the water closet, and be accordingly did so, giving him his arm to lean upon for support. When coming out, the prisoner presented him his pocket book, which he had not missed before. A person in the mean time, came up, who turned out to be Hall, the officer, and wise, desired witness to . ex amine his pocket hook. Mr. Elisha did so, and then miss ed 2111. and a memorandum, which was also in the pocket book. Robert HaUsaid, be seas the officer alluded to by dm 'former whew. 'Being ea daty at Vauxhall Gelded, on the night in question, he saw the prisoner and the prosecu tor together about half-past twelve o'clock. Mr. Mishit was returning from a certain part 9f the Gardens. Witness's suspicions were excited, and he was led to watch the mo tions orlYhartoe. He subsequently advised the prosecutor to examine his pocket book. A gentleman named Graff haM, who came up, said he was a neighbour of the prose cutor, and that lie would take care of his property. The prisoner, snatched the pocket book, and said," lie is an old master of mine, and I will take care of him and his money too." He then replaced the notes which he bad takeo from the prosecutor'. Witness then went for Mr. Hughes,..the manager of the garden, who caane without delay to the spot. —When the prisoner saw him coining, be ssid to the pro secutor "'here is a gentleman (Hall) who will take care of you." He stated thee that he had got 3:^01. Witness asked him whether be was a waiter, and lie replied in the affirma tive. Mr. Hughes desired him to produce his number, bat this he declined doing. Witness then, by desire of Mr. Finches, proceeded ta search the prisoner, wild held up his hands clench e 4. The prisoner made so mach resist ance, that witness Was obliged to call Mr. Hughes to his assist ance, in taking a piece of a tavern bill 'from Lis left held. The prisoner put something with his right hand into his mouth, anal after chewing it for some time, he said " it is gone." Witness rammed his stslf into his mouth to make him °Deo it, but could see nothing in it. Whilst he was searching him, the prisoner was kicking violently sad scratching the ground with his feet, so that where he stood was quite muddy. lie was at length taken to the watch-house. Mr. Henry Hughes corroborated the evidence of the pre. ceding witnesses as to the search. Mr. tiraffitam said that the prisoner told him be be longed to box 38. Benjamin Jessop, the head waiter at Vauxhall Gardena. said that the prisoner .:id not act as waiter thereon the night in 9,iestion. he prosecutor was called seals, and he swore that the piece of a bill which was taken from the prisoner by Hughes.' and the bank note which was found afterwards, were in his pocket book when he entered the Gardens. The prisoner, in his defence, denied having taken the, money. The prosecutor, he said. wa. very much inebri ated, avid' he had observed him before he left his box mares& ing hie money on the table, anal offering to lay bets with all within his reach. He was also inviting several persons to take punch with him. It was most probable that this excess of good nature was requited by the ingratitude of some of the prosecutor's casual visiters. The resistance which be had made to the officers, the prisoner acconnted fol. by saying, that the officer had behaved rudely by thrust ing his staff into his mouth. Two or three witnesses gave the prisoner a good cha racter. _ _ _ _ _ The CHAIRMAN charged the Jury upon the whole case. After an hour and half - of deliberation, the Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. Two youths, named Jones and Williams. were put to the bar on a charge of stealing a saw. The prosecutors at first did not appear when called, and ;he Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty against both the prisoners. The verdict against trillians, however, was not recorded by the Officer of the Conrt, when the prosecutors appeared, and a question then arose whether he was technically ac quitted. The Court at first seemed disposed to put him again upon his trial ; hut the Jury suggesting that they had in fact acquitted both, they ordered the prisoners to be discharged; Last Tuesday, William Rambold, a Journeyman Gun maker, in the employ of Mr. E. Weston, was by virtue of a warrant taken before the Sitting Magistrates at Warwick, to answer the complaint of his master, charging him with neglecting and deserting Ms work, and not being able Lois. factorily to answer the same, be was committed to the House of Correction for a month to receive the dis cipline of the Tread Wheel. The Great Sessions for Glamorganshire commenced on Saturday se'nnigbt, at Cardiff, and, much to the credit of this populous county, there were only three prisoners for trial.—Margaret Morgan, convicted of having uttered bass silver, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and to find sureties for one year, herself in 40/. and two others in 20/. each; William Jones, charged with killing Wm. Jones the younger, of Coity, was acquitted William Thomas charged with sheep stealing, was discharged by proclamation. There were no prisoners for trial at Dnlzelley, nor a single cause entered. This is the second maiden Assize for Merionethshire in the same year! DARING ROBBERY.—.OII Saturday afternoon, about four o'clock, as Mr. Japnings, of Pakenham, was attending Ipswich Lamb Pair, he suddenly missed his pocket book, containing a bank note for 10/. and a cheek on Messrs. Alexander's bank for 115/. 10e.—The latter he had just re ceived in the public room at the Royal William. On the alarm being given, Mr. Hall, of Norton, with commend. able alacrity and presence of mind, dispatched a messenger to the hank of Messrs. Crickitt and Bacon *Mist he ran to Messrs. Alexander and Co. and it appears the promptitude of his conduct, seconded by the activity of Mr. Craske, of Drinkstone, aml several others of Mr. Jannings' friends, was the means of recovering the property, as Mr. H. had not left the hank five naintites when t .vo men, one smartly dressed and the other with the appearance of a horse dealer. pres•nted the check for paytnent, and were imme. dintely secured ; they refused to give their names, and one .luid he lived in London—the other in Norwich. The man +Oki presented the check was recognised as having been present when the payment was made to Mr. Jannings, and he.then wore a white list, which he ba•lchangel fur a black one. Thei were taken before the magi trate% and com mitted for further eiaminstion. On Monday lasi as d person by the name of Bsrk-r was at work non Mousehold Heath, Norfolk, the earth under which be was digging gate way, and falling upon him, nnfortunstely crushed t' to death. It is a singular fact that this man assisted in digging out the body of Nadd, who writ killed three months since in a similar sysy, and was an evidetre upon the inquest.

FATAL PbAt.—Another inquest was 'held by the same Coroner, at the (hive Maurice, opposite the honcho Hos pital on the body of Henry Ord, a lad about nine ye:trs of age, who fell down a common sewer in the Alinories, three weeks ago. Mary Weatherby, an interesting little girl, nine years of age, stated, that on the day in triestion the deottased, another little boy and herself went to look dawn the sewer to see how deep it was; she Went away with a little girl who lives in the same house to play, a shrill distance from the sewer. when the other little buy, William Kingsley, c mt.! to wit ness, and said she, witness, had pushed the deceased into the sewer; she denied it, and it most have occurred while she was playing with the other girl. The Coaoasa questioned the witness whether her father or any one else had tutored her in What she was to tell the Jury ? She replied that no persoti had done so; her father had desired her to tell the truth. Wits.

The Coroner, in summing op, said, that although he watt of opinion the girl did push the deceased- down, yet it dot not appear that any malicious Motive actuated her, nor did she know the depth of the whole, or whether the tl , ct a :04 was likely to receive any injury from falling, therefore no criminality, lie presumed, could stt teh tit her.
