Offices : —27, Cannon-street, E.C. ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. The works selected, with the approval of Government, for first operations, consist of—lrrigating and Navigable Canals throughout the rich and extensive Peltas of Orissa (in Lower Bengal), and the Districts between those Deltas and the Port and City of Calcutta. These works have been already investigated by Engineer Officers in the service of Government, of known ability and experience, who have pronounced the m to be amon g st the moat important, and in promise the most profitable of their character in India; in fact, the present Secretary of State for India in Council in March last addressed to the Government of India an official communication, calling attention to the importance of constructing these very works, and stating that her Majesty's Government were prepared to carry them into effect as soon as the plans and estimates were approved by the Local Government. A desire to see an unguaranteed company established, he states, led to their concession to this company. The main sources of profit will be : Firstly,—The sale of water to the Government for the 'rrigation of land. Seccmlly.---Tolls 7-ied in r aspect of +he use of the Canals and Water-ways bytthe public. - To these may be added as available but subsidiary means of a Iditional returns : I.—The working of the Canals by the Company by the conveyance of Passengers, Animals, and Goods thereon. 2.—Rent and other income derived from mills and factories established on the banks of the various channels. 3.—Cultivation and sale of timber and other produce raised upon the land of the Company. And, 4.—The supply of water for general purposes. Although these latter are now put forth as secondary only, they should by no means be lost sight of—the first of them has been already ascertained to be highly productive in India, and by the official accounts of the existing Canals in the North-western provinces of Bengal the profits derived from mills, timber, and bank produce, represent a large per tentage upon outlay. The following returns realised by the Government on ex isting works of Irrigation in India will afford some idea of the highly remunerative character of such works, if selected with ordinary judgment. The works connected with the Coleroon River cost £21,700, and for sixteen years returned a net profit of £llB per cent. per annum. The Fordwak Canal cost £2,700, and paid £5,000 in the first year. Another canal in Scindo paid 58 per cent. on its cost during the first year, and a third, which cost £3,600, produced £5,000 in the first year. The Western Jumna Canal has paid £5 per cent., and produced a clear surplus of £1,000,000, the cost of constru3- non being £81,458. The works in Maiwara produced a return of 265 per cent. per annum. These are not exceptional instances. Terms of a very favourable character have been arranged with the Secretary of State as the basis of a final Agree ment, to be made with the Government of India at Calcutta. It is proposed to limit the issue of capital in the first in stance, to the sum of £1,000,000, divided into 50,000 shares of £2O each, and to take a first deposit of £ 1 p er share a only, with further payment of £1 per share .when the final agreement has been concluded ; this will, it is believed, suffice to support effective operations for the first twelve months. Of all subsequent calls, full and timely notice will be given to each shareholder. A full Prospectus and form of applications for shares may now be had upon request at the Company's Offices, 27, Can non-street, E.C., London; or at the Company's Bankers, Messrs.

The object of this Company is to purchase from Mr. Simp son, the present well-known and successful proprietor—who retires, having realised an ample fortune from the profits of this undertaking . , - the Lease, Goodwill, and Plant of these head-quarters of suburban recreation and enjoyment. The Cremorne property is held at the nominal ground rent of £63 per annum, the Ashburnham portion included, for an unexpired term of nearly thirty-three years. As evidence of the confidence entertained in the success of the proposed Company, nearly one-half of the capital has been already subscribed. 'Mr. Simpson becomes one of the lary,.est shareholders in the undertaking, and will ac cept a seat in the Direction immediately , after the for mation of the Company. thus affording the Board the benefit of his co-operation in the management. Arrangements have also been made for the retention of the services of his efficient and well-orga.nised staff, thus ensuring the carnet and.eco nomical working of the business. Since the year 1850, the income has gone on steadily and rapidly increasing. The books of the establishment have been strictly kept, and have been examined, and the accounts audited by Mr. Scrivener, the public accountant; and the average profits of the last five years show that an income equal to a dividend of 20 per cent. upon the capital employed may be confidently anticipated, and that these profits, by a small judicious outlay, are capable of being greatly increased. It is also proposed that every , holder of not less than twenty shares shill be entitled to a free admission for himself and friend, subject, however, to such conditions as may be deter mined upon by the direction. All applications for Shares to be made to the Brokers of the Company, Messrs Holdernesi, Fowler, ana Co., Change alley, Cornhill ; or to the Solicitors, at 7, New Inn, Strand, W.C., in the annexed Form.

THE THIRD ERA IN THE PROGRESS OF STEAM. "A STEAM PLOUGH FOR THE IDLE SOIL OF THE WORLD." Now that the patrons of the destructive sciences are making such efforts to bring to perfection their engines for the de struction of life and pro:ierty, it becomes the advocates of peace and commercial progress to be equally active in an op posite direction ; the attention, therefore, of the commercial community. whose interests are necessarily identified with the latter, is called to the fact of "a newly-discovered principle in locomotive mechanics," which places all the operations of agriculture entirely within the range of steam power, fur nishes the farmer with a cheap, efficient, and reliable steam engine, and opens lip the agricultural resources of the colonies to the enterprise of the capitalist. The Steam Plough has a very great and important bearing on the manufacturing and industrial interests of this country; for every kind of agri cultural produce is now daily becoming more scarce, and the efficiency of this branch of industry is daily mani festing a greater incapacity to keep pace with the de mands of society for the staples of life, commerce, and industry. The British people possess, however, almost un limited resources of idle soil in their colonies which only require labour to fructify them. A practical steam plough is therefore equivalent to nothing more or less than " a cheap and abundant supply of the staples of life, commerce, and trade, a rapid development of colonial growth and prosperity, and at; extended demand for all the products of British industry." The steam engine has been the pioneer of British freedom and power; in its first era (Manufacture) it provided a cheap and efficient method of supplying society with the conveni ences of life—gave wealth, unity, and power to a commercial class which came forth as the rival of absolute misrule and the champion of constitutional zovernment in its second era (Transportation) it furnished efficient international commu nication, and, uniting the interests of commerce in a course favourable to free trade, it broke up the system of protectio,n which had concentrated the wealth of the country (and con sequently the political power) in the hands of an oligarchy ; it united by commercial ties the various countries of the earth, and carried the banner of civilisation and Christianity to the shores of every land ; there they now wait another agent which shall tear up the forest and the jungle, and open up the haunts of barbarity and superstition for their further pro gress. Another era has yet to be accomplished—(the Agri cultural)—and with this will come the third instalment of commercial - progress, the extension of the civilising influences of industry throughout the earth, the rapid maturity and con solidation of the commercial and industrial interests of the country, and a gradual decay to all the elements of irrespon sible power and fictitious nobility. Help Preachers of the Gospel, for the first note of your message has yet to be sounded to three-fourths of the human race ; help, Christians and philanthropists, for the idle soil of the world is waiting to give bread to the poor and employ ment to the idle; help, reformers, for the power of your great enemy is built on its connection with Agriculture on its con trol over the first elements of industrial and commercial pros perity (staple supply); help, friends of the slave, for steam in Agriculture will at the same time give both a substitute and a remedy for slivery; help, merchants, manufacturers, traders, and all the armies of the industrious, for the idle soil of your Colonies is waiting to give flieight for your ships, produce for your railroads, staples for your factories and mills, wealth to your customers, and material independence and prosperity to every industrious man.

FATAL A CCIDI VT IN TILE ALPS. On Wednesday, the 15th of August inst., three English travellers—viz., Mr. J. M. Rochester and Mr. F. Vavassour, both of Cardiff, and Mr. B. Fuller, of London, left the Montanvert, near Chamouny, at 5 o'clock in the morning, with the intention of crossing the Col du Geant for Cormayeur, attended by three guides, of whom Frederic Tairraz, the brother of the well-known Jean Tairraiz, who keeps the Hotel de Mont Blanc at Aosta, was the chief; • a porter carrying their knapsacks. The weather seemed favourable. Some time, however, before they reached the summit a thick- fog came on, ac companied by a storm of hail and rain. The travellers were extremely fatigued by the long ascent, rendered more difficult by a recent fall of snow, into which they sank up to their knees. This, and the state of the weather, caused the guides to urge them to turn back. They, how ever, refused to comply with this advice, alleging that they were too tired to return, and preferred proceeding. At about four o'clock in the after noon they reached the summit. The travellers had been tied together by a new rope, of sufficient strength, at intervals of 10 feet ; two guides held the ends of the rope twisted round their hands, one preceding the party, the other following, while Tairraz walked with the travellers, grasping the rope from time to time. In this manner they descended for a onsiderable distance with out any accident, the guides continually urging the travellers to plant their heels firmly in the snow, and to walk as steadily as they were able. About six o'clock they reached a place where it is necessary to traverse a steel) projecting ridge by a muddy and slippery path, the descent of which was, however, gradual. This path was then covered by fresh and sloppy snow to the depth of about a foot. The tired travellers were advancing on this path with unsteady steps, when all at once, at the very angle of the ridge, one of them slipped, fell, and dragged with him his two companions, with the three guides, over a steep and long slope of snow. The two guides at the ends of the rope made every effort in their power to arrest their progress, but in vain ; and seeing that they were all upon the point of being launched over the precipice, they let go the rope, forced their hands and feet into the snow, and stopped themselves as by a miracle at the very verge of an abyss, into which their unfortunate corn panions were immediately plunged. They made their way to the foot of the precipice, where they found three bodies in such a sad condition as to leave no doubt of the fate of the fourth, and then hastened down to Cormayeur, where they arrived soon after 8 o'clock. The foregoing is the account given by M. Curie, the Vaudois pasteur of this place, and almost in his own words. The only point that seems to call for ex planation is the fact of the travellers being tied to gether by a rope, for which there is no need on this side of the Col ; but, as Tairraz was a most expe rienced guide, we must believe that he saw good reason for using it in this case. The result was most disastrous. The weather, no doubt, had been bad for many days, and much SNOW had fallen ; but this did not prevent other parties passing the Col in safety by the very same route ; and on the morn ing of the day on which this lamentable accident occurred a party of six (including two ladies), of whom the M. Curie mentioned above was one, ascended the Col from Cormayeur and returned here uninjured. On the following morning the Judge of the dis trict, with other officials and a staff of guides, M. Curie (who has been most indefatigable in his exer tions to investigate every particular of this most melancholy occurrence), the Rev. J. F. D a y, act ing-chaplain to the English residents, with s evera l others, ascended the mountain for the purpo se o f rec overing the bodies and instituting a formal in quiry into the circumstances. In the evening the remains were brought down, those of the English being deposited in the Vaudois Chapel. Yesterday they were interred in one grave i n th e P rotestant Cemetery, followed by all the English in Cor mayeur, to the number of 30, and a l arge crow d o f sympathizing inhabitants, the R ev . J. F . D ay reading the Burial Seevice. The guide Tairraz was buried in the Roman Catholic portion of the cemetery, as close as possible to his unfortunate companions.

E ms l ey, Yesterday Mr. Rose, and of the trustees under the marriag e se ttl emen t, had an interview with Mr. Erskine a t th e H ome• office, in the absence of Mr. Clive , th e Under-Secre tary of State, with the view . to ur ge upon the Government the propriety of offering a substantial reward for the apprehension of the murderer of the unfortunate woman. Mr. Humphrey s , the coroner, is also understood to have ad dressed a communica tion to Sir George Lewis with a simil ar o bj ect, an d it is believed that he will not h es i tate to adopt a sugges tion calculated, it may 1, to promote the ends of justice in this painful matter. At all events, in the course of yesterday, Mr. Faith and Mr. Whittaker, who each married a stepdaughter of the mardered woman , expressed their i n t en tion to offer a reward between them of £2OO. The Home Secretary can scarcely do l ess ; pro bably to-day or to-morrow—th e and more speedily the better in the interests of justice —a reward Will be offered by the Government and the relatives together of not less than £5OO for the discovery and conviction of the murderer. In the case of the Home-office, to render the reward still more effective, it will probably be accompanied by the offer of a free pardon by the Crown to any one privy to the murder short of the a c t ua l assass i n . Mr. Rose also, in an interview, he had yesterday with the Solicitor to the Treasury, informed that gentleman that in all prob a bili ty the whole of the property belonging to the deceased will revert to the Crown for want . of kindred, assuming she has died intestate, which there is every reason to believe, since a very careful search among her papers for any testamentary document has until now been wholly fruitless. A p oor shoemaker named Williams, living at Camden-t own, who states that he is the eldest son of a broth er (now dead) of Mrs. Emsley, has applied to be recognised as her next of kin; and a younger brother of his, a soldier, came from Portsmouth yesterday to prefer -a similar claim ; but so far they have b een unable to produce the register of marriage of their father and mother, which the elder brother says took P l a c hurch, but where an unsuccessfulsearchce in Lambeth has a beenbh e t made in the registry ; so, for the present, their pre tensions to relationship with the deceased fail in a cardinal point. It has been said she has a niece living, but that also is doubtful, and therefore it is not improbable that the whol e of the property left behind her, whichis very co nsiderable, may go to augment the revenues of the Crown. Since the death of a sister, about four years ago, whose legitimacy w as questioned, she herself is said t o h ave d e nied the existence of a single. blood r e l a ti on, an d th e in tention she expressed of disposing of her wealth to found an almshouse after her death giveS colour to the notion that she regarded herself as friendless. It appears to b i e assumed as indisputable by the police authorities engaged n the effort to discover the murderer that he entered the h ouse b y th e f ron t door, that she herself admitted him, and—what is more remarkable—that the murder was committed in daylight, for there was no candle found in the room, nor any appearance of any. Assuming that the murder took place under tho se c i rcums t ances , its audacity almost exceeds its barbarity, for Grove road, in which the deceased's house was situate, is not only itself an open thoroughfare in which there is very considerable traffic, but i mmediately a b uts u pon the Bow-road-one , of the greatest arter i es i n the metropolis. 1 here is a lit t l e flower g arden in front of the house, which the murderer would have to cross before he could reach t h e front d oor, and again on leaving - the premises, in sight, possibly, of of her some neighb ours , so that the hypothesis that the foul deed was done in the light of day sea lsinevitable. The small ness of the booty, probably from £5O to £lOO, witii which the murderer wes able to make away rather lessens the chance of detection, f or, supposing the plunder to have been considerabl e , and that the assassin had accomplices with whom he shared it, the difficulty of keeping such a fearful secret would have been great. Moro than one or two persons on whom suspicion alights are bein g watched at pre sent, but up to ten o'clock last night no one had been arrested. The detectives, abandoning for the time their first suspicions, are said to be now on a new scent, which holds out some chance of success. By some it is thought for the moment that the murderer is one of a gang who are well known, and if that be so, the speedy offer of a large reward, accompanied by a free pardon, to any accomplice whose hand did not actually deal the fatal blow may be expected to result in the assassin being rendered up to justice. It is rather apprehended, however, that a statement on one point, blurted out at the inquest by more than one of the divisional police, and to which it is not at present desirable to do more than allude, may have tended t o i m pair the intrinsic value of au important piece of evidence. THE ANTIMONY POISONINGS AT LIVERPOOL. ACQUITTAL OF THE PRISONER (WINSLOW) AND HIS RE-ARREST ON THREE OTHER CHARGES OF MURDER. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. This morning the court was again inconveniently • crowded in every part. The interest in the case was heightened by the impression that the prisoner's counsel would make a powerful appeal to the jury. Mr. Digby Seymour, in rising to address the jury on behalf of the prisoner, said he rose under a feeling of the weightiest responsibility, and, after a touch ing appeal to the position in which the prisoner stood, he proceeded to advert at considerable length to the medical features of the case, pointing out the discrepancies in the statements and the differences in the opinions of the medical men who had been called, especially drawing attention to the opinion of Dr. Taylor in his work, that the administration of poison must actually have caused death in order to sustain a charge of murder, whereas it was ad mitted by the prosecution, to a certain extent, th a t it only accel era t e d death. The learned counsel commented with great force and severity on the evidence of the several witnesses who deposed to the prisoner wishing them to purchase antimony for him, which, he contended, had entirely failed, and concluded by calling upon the jury to find a N erd.e. of not guilty. The learned counsel spoke for three hours: After a short adjournment, His Lordship proceeded t o sum u p th e ev id ence . He said this was the first case, so far as he recol lected, in which a charge of murder had been at tempted to be established under circumstances like those involved in the inquiry before them, and the learned Attorney-General had laid down the law ' with great freedom. His lordship read the statute under which the charge was preferred, which was to the effect that a person administering anything to a person, or so abusing them with intent to kill them whilst labouring under disease, and such ad ministering or abuse accelerating death, shall be guilty, of murder. Now if the jury believed the prisoner did administer antimony to deceased with intent to kill her, and that her death was accele rated by it, if they saw their way clear they would find him guilty of murder. They had heard the evidence of Dr. Edwards, Dr. Taylor, and the Kither medical men, who all agreed that an ti mony was found in the body of the deceased in such quantities as to have accelerated her death, and if, then, they agreed in that conclusion, the next point they would have to consider was, by whose hand that antimony was administered. The learned judge, having read over the evidence of the wit nesses who deposed to the prisoner having on seve ral occasions desired them to purchase antimony for him, commented upon their testimony, and said it was certainly improbable that it the prisoner in tended to poison the deceased, he should first ask one person and then another, in such an open man ner, to purchase for him the means to effect his deadly purpose. One of the most important fea tures in the entire case was, that on the morning of the 10th of June a cup containing cooked sago was found in the bedroom of deceased, in which, upon analysis, antimony was found. That poison had been placed in this sago the jury could have no earthly doubt, and the prisoner had admitted to Inspector Horne that be cooked the sago for de ceased on the morning of the 10th, but that he put no antimony in it. If the jury were satisfied that the prisoner's was the hand that administered the antimony, and that in doing so be intended to kill the deceased, then they would find him guilty, but they must be perfectly convinced of this beyond any doubt whatever, otherwise it would be their duty to acquit him. The jury consulted for a few moments, and without leaving the box, returned a verdict of not guilty. The prisoner's counsel applied for his discharge, which was immediately granted. As he was leaving the court, however, he was again arrested, and conveyed to Bridewell, on the charge of poison ing Mrs. Townshend, William Townshend, and Samuel Townshend, the sister and nephews of Mrs James. He will be brought before the magistrates to morrow. The greatest possible excitement prevailed in the precincts of the court. TI - 1E ROAD CHILD MURDER. TROWBRIDGE, AUG. 22. This morning Edmund John Gagg, the prisoner who gave himself up as the murderer of Francis Saville Kent, was brought before Messrs. H. H. J. Ludlow (chairman), the Rev. R. Crawley, and Mr. W. Stancombe, magistrates of this division. On being asked by the magistrates' clerk (Mr. Clark) whether he had any evidence to produce in corroboration of the statement he had made as to being at Portsmouth on the night the murder was committed, The prisoner said ho had a letter from his brother, who said he would attend. He gave the name of his brother as Christopher Gagg. By direction of the magistrates Christopher Gagg was called, but did not appear. In reply to Mr. Stancombe, the prisoner stated that his brother lived at 13, Queen's-terrace, South sea, Portsmouth, as butler in the service of Admiral Byn M g. r. Clark then read the following letter : " Tuesday, Aug. 17, 1860. 13, Queen's-terrace, Soithsea, Portsmouth. "My dear Brother,—l received your kind letter yester day, of which I am truly sorry to hear of your being in such trouble, but I hope with G o d' s b lessing that you will be liberated, and then seek for work and go back to your own place. I went to the police-station yesterday, and I saw Mr. Barber, the superintendent of police, and I have seen him again to-day, and he says that he has made inquiries at the public-house, and they recollect your sleeping there, and I will swear that you came to 13, Queen's-terrace on the 20th of Juno last, and that is the last time I have seen you. Mx. Barber wrote this morning by the early post, and he is going to write by this evening's post again. The admi ral desired me to write hoping that you will soon have your liberty. With kind love, believe me to ever remain,—Your affectionate brother, " CHRISTOPHER GAGG." Mr. Superintendent Wolfe produced two letters from Mr. Superintendent Barber, of Portsmouth, one written after he bad seen the prisoner's brother, and the other after he had gone to the publichouse referred to by the prisoner. A letter from Mr. Wil liam Kimber, landlord of the Anchor Inn, Godal ming, was also put in. The circumstances, to a cer tain extent, confirmed the account the prisoner gave of himself after being brought to Trowbridge. After an adjournment, for the purpose of waiting the arrival of a train by which it was possible the prisoner's brother might come from Portsmouth, and it having been ascertained that be was not present, Mr. Superintendent Wolfe identified the hand writing of the two letters from Mr. Superintendent Barber. Mr. Dunn, solicitor to Mr. Kent—ln order that there may be no kind of misapprehension arising from the story told by the prisoner, I ask the Bench to put one or two questions to him, which I now submit to them. The Chairman (to the prisoner)—l am going to put some questions on behalf of Mr. Dunn, who appears here for Mr. Kent. Have you ever seen Mr. Kent in your life ? Prisoner—No, sir ; I never have. The Chairman—Have you ever seen any of his family ? Prisoner—No, sir. The Chairman—Previously to your apprehen sion had you ever been to Road ? Prisoner—No, sir. The Chairman—ls the story you originally told the police as to your having murdered Francis Saville Kent true or untrue? Prisoner—Not true, sir. The Rev. R. Crawley—What made you say so ? Prisoner—l don't know what could possess me to make the statement T have. I felt if I had not done it I could not live, and that I could chuck myself on the line when any train was coming. I don't know what could possess me. My life seems now, sir, to be a burden to me. Mr. Stancombe—You gave some reason for it. You told me it was in consequence of your wife going away from you. Prisoner—That is the principal cause. My life is such a burden to me that I don't care about living any longer. The Chairman—l think it right it should be known to the public that Mr. Inspector Whicher, the detective officer in London, has made particu lar inquiries respecting your wife and family. He has taken some trouble in doing so, and what he has ascertained has been very satisfactory as re gards your wife. She appears to be living in a very respectable and comfortable manner with her mother, and from her industry—her own industry —supporting her children, deriving no assistance from you to enable her to do so. Prisoner—l have not had it in my power to give it to her. I did so when I could. The ReY. R. Crawley—Did she run away from you, or did you desert her ? Prisoner—She ran away from me. The Chairman—l am prepared to state that that is untrue, and that there is nothing to justify what you have said of her. She is living in a creditable manner, and everything you have said against her character is totally untrue. She states that she is quite afraid to live with you in consequence of your conduct, and never will do so again. You put your self in your present position voluntarily ; you have caused an immense deal of trouble and also an immense deal of expense to the county by tell ing the untruths which you did respecting the murder. The Bench only regret exceedingly that it is not in their power to give you any severe punishment for your conduct. Had they the power to do so you would have had it to the full extent, and would richly deserve it. The determination we have come to is to pay your railway fare back to London and to give you sufficient food to maintain you till you get there. Your parish is in Westminster, and you will be returned to your parish, and of course left there on your own resources. - The Chairman (to Captain Meredith).—Have you any information to communicate before the meet 'g closes ? C - Meredith, chief constable.—l have no tbiL, T; r was then taken back to his cell, and v despatched to London per railway to morrow (Thursday). It was stated by Mr. Dunn that the family of Mr. Kent feel very strongly the imputations which have been cast upon them, and which they attri bute to all the inmates of the house not having been examined at the time of the inquest. On their behalf an application was made to Sir G. C. Lewis, Home Secretary, for permission to hold a second inquest, but it was discovered that a second inquest could not be held unless the first were set aside on the ground of informality or illegality. This course not being deemed practicable, the Home Secretary was then requested to appoint a special commis sion to investigate the whole matter, and it is stated that a County Court Judge volunteered to act as commissioner. Sir G. C. Lewis, however, declined to comply with the application, on the ground that it was unusual to grant such commis sions, and that he saw no necessity for so doing in this particular case. Mr. Dunn also intimated his intention of applying to Captain Meredith, chief constable of Wilts, to examine Mrs. Kent in the presence of the superintendents engaged in the in vestigation, and stated that if this course were pur sued he should request permission to publish Mrs. Kent's evidence. IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. Yesterday's hope of a favourable change turned out to be delusory. It kept fine during the whole day, but last night the rain returned and came down in torrents, which lasted up to five o'clock this morning, when there was a partial truce; but up to this hour the sky is overcast, and there is nothing in the aspect of the atmosphere to warrant a belief that we have done with foul weather. The Evening Post publishes remarks from a correspondent, who has had the best oppor tunity for personal observation and inquiry in some of the midland and southern counties, in reference to the crops, and full reliance may be placed on his accuracy. The Post is still of opinion that, not withstanding the long-continued rains and unseason able weather, there is still a prospect of a pretty fair general harvest. In any case the harvest will be unusually late, but if there were a few weeks of fine weather the results would be far less unsatis factory than had been anticipated : " WATERFORD, Aug. 20. " I have been for some days anxiously engaged in inquiries regarding the crops in the counties between this and Dublin, and in a wide district of country, in Wexford in one direction, and to the south-west of this place in another. I have care fully examined for myself; and I have had the opinions of experienced farmers and other persons. It is certain that considerable injury has been done by the heavy rain and cold weather, but it is much less than might have been expected under the cir cumstances. To some extent the grain crops, and wheat in particular, have suffered from a want of fulness and healthy formation in the ear; and some fields in various districts are still prostrated, but beyond that, and the delay of the ripening process, I can see no damage. On Thursday morning last, owing to the terrible rain, very many of the corn fields had been as flat as if a heavy stone had been rolled ever them ; but the strong winds that since prevailed have raised the crop, and, with comparatively few exceptions, the corn fields are once more erect, and present a fine healthy aspect. Almost all the fields are very backward, but yesterday and to-day seem to have caused a very favourable change, and in several places the colour of the straw is deepening, and the grain is beginning to ripen. There is a large extent of wheat more than the average—the breadth planted has been more than in ordinary years. I think it likely that the produce will be somewhat deficient, owing to the causes to which I have referred ; and that a good deal of this grain will be nothing to boast of in quality; but, on the other hand, I have seen many very fine fields which promise well in every respect. With regard to oats, I have to report that the crop promises very well in all the places I have visited ; and I heard very few complaints or apprehensions about it. Barley is poor in some places, but very good in others; and it is rather extensively planted in Wexford and in some parts of the counties of Kilkenny and Water ford. The result as to barley as well as wheat will mainly depend on the weather between this and the end of September. In reference to the potato crop, there are many fields, especially in Wexford, in which the blight has already caused much injury. In other places, where the disease has not yet ap peared, the root is affected by the excess of moisture, and presents a half-boiled soapy appearance when prepared for table ; in fact, it,is not ripe enough to eat. There, however, are exceptions. In general, the potato crop, notwithstanding . the very unfa vourable character of the weather, is in good condi tion. I have seen good potatoes every where, and more good than bad, except in some parts of Wex ford, and there is a fair promise of a good crop, only requiring the same sunshine and warmth which, thank God, prevail here to-day. With re ference to the green crops, turnips in particular, the appearances are excellent. Hay has, of course, suffered greatly from the wet and the flooding of the fields ; but there is a great deal of it—some already well saved ; and much more that will be secured in pretty good condition, if fine weather ensue. Altogether, I think that there is a reason able prospect of a fair harvest, all things considered, and allowing for the drawbacks of one of the wettest summers ever known in Ireland." A letter from Clonmel gives a deplorable account of the destruction of property in that quarter by late rains. The writer says : " On the estate of Mr. Walpole, in the parish of Whitechapel, in the immediate vicinity of Cahir, a small inland river overflowed its banks on Thurs day, and covered the lands adjoining, to the extent of five acres on each side. This land was princi pally under grass, potatoes, and a small breadth of corn. When the water drained off on Friday morning, it was discovered that the entire five acres were covered, on an average to the depth of two feet, with a deposit of gravel and stones, many of the latter being upwards of a quarter of a ton in weight. About 30 feet of the road from Michels town to Clonmel, which runs through this locality, was torn up to the depth of nine feet ; and, as 200 feet of it are still under water, it is impossible to ascertain the exact amount of damage it has sus tained. The small bridge which spanned the tail race of Mr. Walpole's flax mill was also broken down. and the bed of the stream choked up with the fallen material. At Rehill, a place about five miles west of Cahir, the three arched bridge which crosses the river proved inadequate to give passage to the water, which completely choked it up, and, bursting its banks, inundated the lands at both sides to a considerable extent. A field of splendid wheat ready for cutting, and about two acres of potatoes. were completely ruined by this disruption. The soil is thickly strewn with a hard concrete, consisting of sand and stones, among which were found great numbers of dead trout. Close to the bridge the house of a shoemaker named White was suddenly surrounded by the flood on Thursday. It poured into the house, and he was obliged to place his family on an upper loft while he ran to call as sistance. In this quarter the course of the river has been totally diverted, and it now flows along the road, which for a time was rendered useless for all purposes of traffic. The fine modern bridge at Burncourt has been extensively damaged. The floods burst the right arch, and carried it away totally, after which they rolled into the wheat and potato fields over the embankments, and ruined them completely. These are only a few instances of the immense destruction of TIZE NA VY. The following is from a letter, dated Malta, August 16:— " Her Majesty's troopship Megwra, Commander Hender son, left this for Corfu on the 13th inst. to bring back inva lids. The Spanish war steamer General Alava, having on board the Governor-General of the Philippine Islands, which touched here on Saturday, left the same day for Alex andria. This is the first Spanish ship of war th4t has visited Malta during the last 30 years. She is expected to, call here on her return to Carthagena. We are daily expecting here the Spanish frigate Princesa de Asturias and the war steamer Vulcan, of the same nation, which have left Spain for Bey rout, and will probably touch here on their way. The pas sage of the French expeditionary corps through Malta continues, and steamers laden with troops arrive in rapid succession. In addition to the Borysthene and Amerique, which together brought about 1,550 officers and men and 24 horses, the following arrivals have taken placc:—Gange, French packet, on the 13th, from Marseilles, with Colonel Canbert, Lieut.-Col.

A naval court-martial assembled in Chatham harbour, on board the Wellesley, 72, guardship of ordinary, Capt. G. Goldsmith, C. 8., for the trial of Lieut. James Waller O'Grady, and a warrant officer, late of her Majesty's sloop Elk, 12. The pri soner was arraigned on the following charges : " First, for that he, the said Lieutenant James Waller O'Grady, being a lieutenant of and belonging to her Ma jesty's sloop Elk, did, on or about July 24, 1860, in the presence of his messmates, make use of the following ex pressions to Lieut. George Robert Bell, first lieutenant of the said sloop, ' I consider your conduct blackguardly ; that you are taking advantage of your position, and that you are a blackguard for so doing,' or words to that effect. Second, for that he (Lieut. James Waller O'Grady), being in actual service and full pay in her Majesty's fleet, and a lieutenant of and belonging to her Majesty's sloop Elk, did refuse to apologise to the said Lieut. Gem ge Robert Bell for making use of the said expressions when recommended, to do so by Commander H. Campion, of the said sloop." The prisoner pleaded guilty to the first charge, and not guilty to the second. The court, halivg heard the evidence of Commander H. Campion, the commander, and several of the officers formerly of the Elk, the prisoner read a very able defence, and handed in several certificates, after 'which the Court remained some time in deliberation, and on its opening the prisoner was acquitted of the second charge, and having pleaded guilty to the first charge was sentenced to lose two years as a lieutenant, and to be severely reprimanded. The court also tried Mr. John Burridge, late boatswain of her Majesty's sloop Elk, on the following charges : "1. For that he, the said Mr. John Burridge, being boatswain of her Majesty's sloop Elk, did, on or about the 24th of October, 1859, refuse to do any more duty, s.nd did persist in his refusal, after three days had been given him to consider his conduct ; 2. For that he was, on. or about the 30th of June, or the morning of the let of July, 1860, absent from his duty, and when called by Private Thomas Farrance, on the morning of the Ist of July, 1860, did say that 'the First-Lieutenant might go to --,, and an his fraternity,' or words to that effect." The prisoner, who pleaded " Not Guilty" to both charges, was defended by Mr. W. W. Hayward, solicitor, of Rochester. The Court was occupied a considerable time in the examination of the wit nesses for the prosecution, and the prisoner having been granted time to prepare his defence the Court adjourned. On its reassembling the prisoner read his' defence, in which he denied making use of the expressions contained in the second charge, after which the Court deliberated and found the prisoner guilty of both charges—the sentence being that he be deprived of his warrant, and that he serve three years in her Majesty's navy as an able seaman. The trial lasted till nearly eight o'clock last night. Mr. W. H. Ward's marine signals were yester day subjected to the final experimental tests at Woolwich, preparatory to their being received on board the ships of the fleet at Portsmouth, whither they are now to be despatched with the approba tion of the Board of Admiralty, so as to undergo a more extended course of trial over various ranged from ship to ship at sea. The trials yesterday at Woolwich commenced at half-past two o'clock on board the flagship Fisgard, under the personal supervision of Commodore the Hon. James R. Drummond, C. 8., Aide-de-Camp to her Majesty, and Superintendent of the Dockyard, who for some time past has taken considerable pains in improving the present imperfect mode of signals, and has con sequently encouraged with more than ordinary interest the invention of Mr. Ward, to whom he has suggested alterations and additions vary ing from the original system proposed about 18 months ago, and which have been adopted with marked advantage in simplifying the system and adding to its general improvement and facility of action. Commodore Drummond, accompanied by Commander Hawker, Mr. Hall, Mr. Ward (the inventor), and other officers of the yard proceeded on board the Fisgard at half-past 2, and made an interesting trial of the night telegraph, without lights. Four of the lanterns, forming a complete numerical, or cypher and alphabetical code, sus pended in a vertical line, telegraphed a course of signals, which were rendered visible at a short dis tance only, and after nightfall a succession of sen tences were transmitted from ship to shore, and re plied to, a small apparatus, on the same principle, having been provided for the purpose on shore, and which it§ intended for the use of gunboats and ships of small burden. The experiments were exceed- ingly satisfactory, and the invention was hailed by officers and men as likely to be productive of in calculable benefit to the seafaring world at large. A number of Mr. Ward's signal flags recently adopted by the navy were also exposed in one of the sheds of the yard, for the purpose of displaying their effect in a drooping position. The flags are made in pennant form, and possess the advraitage of being distinguished in all positions, whether ex tended by the breeze or drooping in a calm. In the position yesterday the various hues embracing the colours of the rainbow were clearly discerned. The flags are of three sizes, and half their length is their greatest width. The whole is ordered to be packed to-day and forwarded to Portsmouth. The following appointments were mad.e yester day at the Admiralty :—Frederick J.
