THE HARVEST OF 1700, COMPARFT WITH THAT or MC—An old man in Renfrewshiresays, that he recollects his father often remarking, that in the year 1700 or 1701, there was no rain fell from the time barley was sown till it was ripe--suul that the crops were so very short in the • straw, that it wart impottrible to Lind the grain in sheaves—. the farmers, therefore, etuffed it into the larie sacks of those days, and carried it to the barns on hones backs (for they had no carriage carts), and immediately thrashed it.— Though the straw was deficient, he said the ears were well filled, as one sackful yielded a boll of dighted grain. Some showers then opportunely fell, and tire after crops were so good that fodder was neither scarce tier dear, and, the win ter being mild and open, the cattle ittere •never better off'. In scene points, the year isufe has been very aierilat to the one alluded to. Let us hope that for tli benefit of our starving work-people, since it has been similet in salhe agreeable features, it will not be dissimilar in those which were more beneficial. Harvest proceeds rapidly in-every quarter; and frern no part of die kingdom, some districts of fieotod excep*ett, do we hear of any perious fears of the general rei•ults of the crop. On the contrary, in t neind and in Ireland, every account, speaks of a fair crop of different Maloof grain while the wheat crop is every where represented as abundant in quantity, and excellent in quality.--Ca/Irk mien Mercury. From Many parts of the county we have the satisfaction of learning that the crop of wheat is not only a fair, but a decidedly good crop, which has beat got in during t he late warm and dry weather in the best possible condition. The barley, except on very light soils, will torn out, after all, to be a decent crop, and the eats, though deficient in straw, arc well. grained. Harvest will soon be over.

At Beer and &aton, on Tuesday last, the sea presented an extraordinary degree of convulsion, and the tide ebbed and flowed so rapidly, that a laigo schooner, lying in Mr. Hallett's harbour, was suddenly left aground: in a few minutes after she was. floated by the tide, or bore, which came in whit such violence as to excite apprehensions that she would be thrown on the pier-head; and this was re peated several times. It is feared that an earthquake or other agitation of nature on the Continent occasioned the phenomenon. —On Wednesday, a heavy ground-swell was experienced at Babbicombe, which occasioned the regatta to be postponed, the stewards deeming it unsafe for the boats to veature to sea, white the ocean was so disturbed. What renders the circumstance the more remarkable is,' that there was little or no wind at the time.---Exeter News. • PHENOMENON IN NATUIIAL Iltsvonv.—A sparrovr,! perfectly white, was shot by a gentleman at the village of Fulford, near York, on Wednesday last. LADY-Brans.—The great fall at Brighton, and in the! sea near that place, of the insects commonly known by the name of " lady-birds," is by no mans an unprecedented occurrence. A similar fall took place some years ago in and near Rochester, when the " ladyehirds' infested, as long as they lived, that city, and left after their death a disgusting scent, which was retained in the shops for many months. It is not often that they appear here in such multitudes as have swarmed this season: they seem to have spread over the whole country, and drop down from the trees about Aylesbury almost as thick as from the cloud that passed over Brighton. When they visit the hop-grounds they feed upon the larva. of the Aphides, small black bodied flies with large wings, which appear upon the hop-plants before the " lady-birds" arc visible. Both these kinds of insects are migratory: on two occa sions in Autumn, we have seen a cloud of .4phides going off from the coast to the sea, that of the • lady-birds" in the neighbourhood of Brighton. One of these occasions was off the coast of Kent, when the cloud appeared a mile in length, and dropped myriada every moment into the sea. About the same time of the year, the Rev. Mr. White, of Selborne, witnessed a similar phenomenon in his own neighbourhood :—" On the first of August," says that in teresting natural historian, " about half an hour after three in the afternoon, the people of telbcrne were surprised by a shower of Aphides, which fell in these parts. They who were walking the streets at that time, found themselves covered with these ins: I.ls, which settled also on the trees and gardens, and blackened all the vegetables where they slighted. These armies, no doubt, were then in it state of emigration, and sbtftiag their (patters; and might . perhaps come from the great hop-plantations of Kent oc. Sussex, the wind being that day at North. They were ob-. served at the same time at Farnhatn, and all along the Yale to Altou."—Bucks Chronicle. • • -- , r (From the Freonates Journal of Friday.) THE .WORKMEN—MEETING IN TILE PARK. .In our. Paper of yesterday, we noticed that placards hal been posted about town, calling a meeting of the workmen to be held in the Phoenix Park yesterday. Di conseque:.ce of this public announcement, Mr. Greece, one of the MarUstriees of the Head Office, and Mr. Studdart, one of the Second Police Division, pro ceeded to the Park, at the head of twenty. horse police, with a reserve of forty of the foot patrol. On their arrival at the ap pointed place of meeting, the Fifteen Acres, they found an assem blage of about two thousand persons. Mr. Graves, in a hem, but conciliatory manner, remonstrated with them on the illegality of such a meeting, and admonished them instantly to disperse.— Two persons, who appeared to assume a kind of leadership, produced a copy of the Resolutions which were to be proposed for the edoptton of the meeting. They were to this effect:— " That, with every desire to be amenable to the law, they felt themselves imperatively called upon to demand from their employ ers British currency, instead of Irish, which no longer existed. tin being again warned to disperse, they . requested. a few minutes to communicate the opinion and the wishes of the Magistrates to the meeting. This was granted ; but the Magistrates perceiving that a meeting of the delegates of trades was about to be called, and that the people had formed a ring, they teed the Riot Act, and peremptorily called on the people to - disperse. This tined mandate was complied whit, seeing that the Magistrates were determined to enforce their orders. The meeting slowly cho mped, the police attending them through the Park, and the adjacent streets, mail they had completely separated by half-past two o'clock. Peace-officer Needham, and a party from College-street office, were stationed in the Gas Works in Brunswick-sheet, on NVednes day night, in consequence of an apprehended attack on the men employed in that establishment. Every thing remained quiet during the night. DISTRESS IN TIIE LIBERTY. The adjourned meeting for the purpose of receiving the report of the Committee appointed to administer the funds subscribed for the .relief of the distressed weavers, was held yesterday at the Royal Exchange, the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor in the Chair. We were happy to ace the meeting very fully and respect ably attended. Among the persons of distinction present were :-..- Lord* Rosamore and Clonctury, Archbishop Murray, Mr. J. Grat tan, M. P., Mr. H. Grattan, and Mr. Moore, City Members, D. Latouche, Esq., A. Guinness, Esq., Mr. Blake, Chief Remem brancer, Sir C. Morgan, &e. Mr. ObtovEs, the Secretary, read the report of the Meeting, which was received and ordered to be printed. Several Resolutions were proposed and carried, and the Meeting was addressed by most of the respectable gentlemen we have named, as likewise by several others. At the close of the proceedings, Mr. Home rose to address the Chair, on the subject of the market and loan fund for the operative weavers, which he had so frequently proposed to be established.. The sense of the Meeting appeared at first to be against entering into Mr. Home's views, at least at the present Meeting; but after he had been heard for a short time, his ar guments were so convincing, that a sudden change of sentiment Was wrought. Mr. 11. GRATTAN' then !Ingested the propriety:of adjourning this important discussion to a future day. The meeting acceded to the propriety of an adjournment to Saturday next. In the course of the proceedings, the necessity of en immediate subscription, to relieve the present distress of the working classes, was strongly urged by all the spea . kers. A long conversa tion took place on the propriety of applying the money subscribed to erect a testimonial to commemorate his Majesty's visit to Ireland, to a loan fund for the operative manufacturers. Mr. Home said, he had addressed a letter to the King upon this' subject, which he read to the Meeting. It was truly pleasing to observe the perfect unanimity of senti ment that prevailed in the Meeting, where persons of all creeds and politics were assembled for the one great object—Christian charity. From the late hour at which the Meeting adjourned, and the length to which the proceedings ran, we must defer a detailed es- port of them to our next publication. ••••tetet-- —'''''''"'''''''''''''' ----- _ I Friday, a little boy offered his services to the owners of two potato carts, in King-street, Aberdeen, to keep a look-out, which were accepted. Be in g mounted between the carts, in a short time lie was discovered ever ant! anon dropping a potato, from either cart, into the apron of another boy, who was snugly seated on the ground. By ' this windfall the latter had collected a comfortable al lowance, with which he escaped ; and his companion was simply discharged for breach of trust.—Aberdeen Journal. A man was taken out of the river Tyne, on Tuesday last, with his feet and hands tied so as to prevent him from making any effort to prevent the approaches of death, in case he had been so inclined, after he had thrown himself into the water. It appeared that the person in question was a Danish seaman, who had been employed in a foreign vessel freighted to the port of Newcastle; and that having shown symptoms of insanity previously, it is supposed'he had, in the very singular manner above narrated, contrived to wake au cad a himself.--X Chronicle. to ability.--Carl4le Patriot. Since Monday there has been some vivacity among the small coasting vessels that go to the highlands; but in every other department business is as dull and the pros pects are as gloomy as they were six months ago. Out of twenty-one Liverpool traders, eleven only are sailing; attri they very frequently depart with . half cargoes. ,very other trade has fallen off in proportion. On Saturday sennight, exclusive of steam-boats,"there Were wily vessels at the Broemielaw. Before the effects of the re action of the currency began to be felt, there were gene rallyl 2OO, and never less than 170 vessels at the quay a t one time.-Gtasgaio Chronicle. The herring fishing continues to improve in the west Highland Lechs. Besides getting more ablindatie,. the fish have been both larger and better in quality the lest four days. Yesterday about 130 mazes, ;or d 3,000 herrini, arrived at the Broomielaw. •So large a supply has seldom been seen at the quay. Sales Were pretty ,good,, and they sold at frosts be. to Si. GI per hundred.—Glasgow Chronizle. For the last tiro" wdeks thetihtte been abundance of herrings off Peterhead and Bedlam ; but as there are to curers settled there, the fishermen have not caught them. It is likely that this fishery will become of more importance after the light-house orifitiehanness is finished, as it is well known that the Dutch have nniforinly made their best fishing eff the Duals:mess. On Ft May last the servants of Mr. Smith, who occupies a larg e farm between 'Beachley tad the flack Rook,- were desired by their master to destroy a wasp nest, whieticex isted in the dung:hill. Thii theyelid by taking the dung into a neighbouring stubble-field, from which wheat had been lately hauled, and setting it on fire. They . hlti scarcely applied the light, before a breeze sprung up, teVen the fire running along the stubble, caught the hedgeseand thence communicated to seven fine thowd of wheat and hey, and thus in a few hours were destroyed -the whole proceed. of the summer harvest. —Gloucester Journal. A young lady, at Hatherleigh, a short time ago, was called upon by a travelling barber soliciting employment, whom she permitted to cut her hair ; the Manor; during the performance of his duty, strongly recommended his employer to dispense with half of the growing crop, with which he would make a neat wig for future use, itatihgbis charge should be only two shillings and sixpence. A ready compliance was the consequence, but " the artful tradesman has probably found another • head to fit. as, he has not since been heard of. We are not informed whether the lady, like Sampson of old, had lost her wits previous to parting with her locks, but her credulity could be no proof of her better judgment.—ExeterNews. POISONING BY A QUACK.—On Thursday last, a quack doctor, who styled himself Dr. Campbell, was placed at the bar of the Police Court, Edinburgh,, charged with giving a young man, a shopkeeper in Nicolson-street, de leterious drugs, to the endangering of his life. it appeared that the pretended Dr. Campbell had gone intolifosbcp of a respectable spirit-merchant in Nicolson-street, on the evening of NVednesday last, and asked for a gill of whisky. and the young man who gave it to him having a small stoppage in one of his nostrils, the prisoner observed it, sett said he would remove it in a few minutes for a mews trifle. The young man agreed to give what was asked, and the prisoner then took a common dram glass, and having put a little spirits into it, poured a small quantity of a liquid out of a vial lie bad in his pocket amongst the spirits, and desired the young man to drink it, which he did, and in a few minutes he was seized with a sick ness and violent gripincss about the stomach, to such an extent that he was unable to stand. A respectable medi cal person in the irumediate neighbourhood, was sent for, and by the time he arrived the yoring man was rolling upon the counter in great agony, and saliva running from his mouth in great quantity. The surgeon gave him an emetic, which operated freely, and afterwards a purgative, which soon removed the dangerous symptoms. It appeared that ' the prisoner had given tha young man a considerable quan tity of the solution of corrosive sublimate (a 'powerful poison). The prisoner did not deny the chare b e, but alleged that he had cured hundreds with what he had adminis tered on this occasion. Ile said if they would let him tree this time, he would sign his own banishment, and leave the town for ever! The Sheriff thought this a case de serving the most serious consideration, and the prisoner was committed for farther examination.—Cakdeniaa Mer- curt/. ELECTION EXPLNEES.—LEI all those " worthy and independent" personages who arc wont to hail the approach of an election as the watch-word for gluttony, and who contribute, by their sweeping charges, to the expenditure. of eighty thousands in one place, fifty thousands in 1 another, and so on, read the subjoined effort of honest simplicity, and blush.
