w. .re-*-AsurgV.. Ai ONE 1' MARKE asa T AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the last few days there has been more s, animation in the Foreign and C olonial Produce -‘larkets, and advanced rates have been realised for several of the principal staples. Tea, however, has I continued very quiet. Sugars have been in in- st !reased request, chiefly for home consumption, at Improved rates, and a further advance has taken st s i ,P.laee in all descriptions of coffee. Rice has con tinued dull, at barely former quotations. ,The , 1 sales of colonial wool were brought to a termi nation yesterday ; during the early part of these i suetions prices were well sustaine d, but less soyancy was apparent towards the close, a ucon siderable quantity being withdrawn. Tallow has s st been in fair request, and prices have tended up- st Wards for both present and forward delivery. A. fair amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices sl Were steady. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bale s . A fair proportion of the gold received from Aus tralia is taken to the Bank of England, a further : 1 , Parcel amounting to £20,000 having been added to the stock of bullion yesterday. The metallic ro si serve is therefore likely to exhibit au increase, sepecially as the contracted circulation usual at 8 1 thie period generally causes an accumulation of coin. „ i The tendency of the specie movement has partly st negatived the impression previously entertained, st that the extensive efflux in p a y ment for grain Would soon tell upon the rates of discount. st Continued symptoms of easiness are apparent in the general Money Market, but renewed firmness may be expected next week owin g to the engage- :ti Slents of the 4th of the month, and the Consol liquidation on the 6th. At present, however, first class securities are negotiable 4 per cent. below the Bank of England minimum quotation. About £309,000 in specie has been announced st this morning, viz., £158,516 by the Leaping Water st from Australia, and £150,000 by the Kangaroo st from New York. The A ra g o has also arrived with st £140,000 for France. 6t The Mexican dollars broug ht b y the West India t. Packet have been sold at 624 d. p er oz., showing an :tt: advance of id. compared with the price realised for a the previous supply. A call of £1 per share, amounting to £lOO,OOO, Is due to-morrow on the Dutch Rhenish Railway, and of £l, or £53,805, on the Lancashire and st, Yorkshire, Blackburn (P) share s, st, st, There has not been much activity to-day in the st, market for Public Securities, but some purchases at, have been effected, and a rise of 8 per cent. has taken st, Place. Consols being 93 934 for money and the 6th st : Proximo, and 934 934 for October. The favour able state of the weather, and the arrivals of gold, have assisted in strengthening the market. The t , New Three per Cents. are firm at 934 e ; the ltedueed at 934 ; India Stock is steady at 218 ; ,ditto New Loan at 1034; ditto 5 per Cent.

THE DANISH LOAN.—The Danish Government have advertised their intention to pay off, on the Ist of March next, the outstandinc, portion of their £BOO,OOO 5 per cent. loan of 1850. This portion amounts to £691,300. They give the holders the option of taking 4 per cent. bonds in substitution. At the same time they notify that bonds not presented within one year and six weeks will be forfeited to the State, and that the same plan is to be adopted in the case of cou pons outstanding for five years. As this course would hav h e e in some degree the a pp earance of confiscation, it would well for the credit of the Danish Government that it should be reconsidered. In Se p tember last Denm trk paid off the balance of a loan of like amount contracted in 1819. That balance wa s £697,200. The funds fo r these liquidations have been supplied chiefly by the payment of £1,125,000 made by England in 1857 in consideration of the abolition of the Sound Dues. An accident which might have been attended with serious consequences occurred the night before last at the Opera-Comique. As Mdlle. Prost, one of the actresses, performing in the " Caid," was descending a flight o f steps at the back of the stage, the skirt of her dress, which was very light and ample, came in contact with a gas burner. She was instantly enveloped in flames, and must have suf fered severely but for the prompt assistance of a fireman, who with great p rese nce of mind exting uished the fire, and I the artist fortunate]. escaped with a few slight burns. The performance was immediately continued. TFSTIMONIAL TO A CONGREGATIONAL MINISTER. !--The Rev. Thomas G. Lee, who for nearly 20 years has been th e m i n i s t er o f New Windsor Chapel, Salford, has been presented by the members of his church and congre gation with an address, expressive of their high estimation of ea his character and labours.

Wishart and Lloyd, wholesale tobacconists, Coventry-street. Mr. Powell, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, ap peared for• the prisoners. From the evidence of Mr . James Johnson, in the employ of the firm of Wishart ar i d Lloyd, it appeared that on the 25th of this month tl,e prisoner Chine who then called himself Stanley, came, accompanied by another man not now present, and, ordered three boxes of cigars of the value of £9 to be sent to his office, No. 9, Duke-street, and he would then pay for them. He sent Cue cigars as de sired by the prisoner by the porter:, who returned without the money. He (witness) went, the next morning and saw Keeling, having previously / seen the prisoner Chine pass into the back counting-house. On asking Keeling for Stanley he said he had, net then arrived. He told him that was not true, for he l dad seen him go into the back office, and if he did not tell him he would go into the room and see him himself. S'car Joy then came out, and said if he would go away and call in five minutes he would pay him, but he refused to leave. Stanley then said if he would go with him to the City to his banker he would pay him. He went with him to two or three different places, but did not succeed in getting the money. The prisoners then left the office, and he ascertained that the cigars had been pledged immediately after, at Mr. Young's, but re deemed by a person who Mr. Young believed had pur chased the duplicate. Thonaas Pullen, porter to Messrs. Wishart and Lloyd, proved receiving a parcel from the last witness, and taking it to Duke-street, where he saw both prisoners. He pre sented the bill to Keeling. He said Mr. Stanley was not there, and asked him to leave the parcel, but he said he could not do so without the money. He then said that if he took the goods back most likely Mr. Stanley would not have them at all, being offended at the distrust shown, and that Mr. Stanley was dining in the country with a lady. He took the goods eut of Keeling's hand, and Mr. Chme then came out of a back room and said that Mr. Stanley had told him that some cigars were coming, and that he was to forward them immediately to him, and that Mr. Stanley would call and pay for them. He (Chine) then took the parcel away, saying it was all right. In answer to Mr. Beadon, the witness Johnson said that Chine represented himself as Mr. Stanley, jun., of the firm of Stanley and Co., commission agents, 9, Duke-street, Westminster. Charles John Thrift, assistant to Mr. Barrington, pawn broker, Princes-street, Leicester-square, proved that the prisoner Chine pledged three boxes and six parcels of cigars on the 25th of May last. Mr. Powell having addressed the magistrate on the pri soners' behalf, Mr. Beadon said it was clearly a conspiracy to defraud and he should remand them for a week.

This bankrupt was described as of Gutter-land, silk warehouseman, and this was a meeting for choice of assig- news, The debts are stated at about £lO,OOO, and assets about 17,000 ; there is a dispute, however, as to whether they belong to certain particular bill-holders, or to the creditors generally. Mr. Drakeford, of Great Winchester-street, and Mr. Chatteris, of the Old Jewry, were chosen assig nees, and Mr. H. Harris, Moorgate-street, is solicitor to the assignees. IN RE HORTON. This also was a meeting for choice of assignees. The bankrupt had carried on business as a merchant in Fen church-street. Mr. C. H. Lewis appeared for the creditors, and Mr. rook for the bankrupt. Assignees were chosen without opposition. The debts are stated at about £1,500; assets uncertain. Mr. Lewis is the solicitor to the estate. IN RE CHADWICR. This bankrupt was described as of Augustus-street, Regent's-Park, stone merchant, and this was a meeting for choice of assignees. Messrs. Hart Brothers state the debts at £4,47l—the as sets have not yet been ascertained. IN RE SMITH, PATIENT, AND CO. These bankrupts were extensive leather merchants in Bermondsey, and a meeting for choice of assignees were appointed i'or to-day, but not concluded when the report left. SECONDARIES' COURT. SERIOUS STREET ACCIDENT.-DAMAGES, £25.-BROWN AND WIFE V. DODGKINSON. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages, laid at £lOO, sustained in consequence of the negligence of defen dant in driving his horse and cart. Mr. Tindal - Atkinson, instructed by Mr. Charnock, of King William-street, for the plaintiffs, said his clients were in a humble sphere of life, Mr. Brown being a sawyer, and Mrs. Brown, the person injured, a monthly nurse. On the 28th May last Mrs. Brown was going to Blackheath to pay her husband's club money, and upon arriving at Church street, Peckham, she was called to by a friend vho was in a cart on the opposite side of the road to that upon which she was walking. Mrs. Brown crossed over, and stood close to the shafts of the cart. While she was talking she ob served a cart driven by defendant (who is a contractor and house proprietor) at a very rapid rate. Defendant must have seen Mrs. Brown, but he drove furiously on, and knocked her down, inflicting serious injuries. Defendant, who had been drinking, was stopped and taken to the station-house, from which place he was not liberated until another person was obtained to take home his vehicle. Mrs. Brown was much injured, and the services of a doctor were required. The jury were asked to give such damages as would com pensate plaintiffs for those injuries, defendant having ad mitted the wrong by suffering judgment to go by default. Mrs. Brown was called, and deposed to the facts men tioned by the learned counsel. Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, cross-examined the lady as to whether the defendant did not call out. Witness was sure he did not. She was very much hurt. People said defendant was drunk. Mr. Field, the friend spoken of, described the 'accident and the state of defendant. Witness found that Mrs. Brown was so injured that he was compelled to drive her to her destination. She was quite sober. Cross-examined—Defendant was very drunk. He tried to stop and nearly fell out at the back of his cart. Had great difficulty in getting defendant to stop. A police sergeant and inspector deposed to defendant's being the worse for liquor, and to the horse and cart being taken to the station-house. Defendant was incapable of driving. The surgeon who attended Mrs. Brown said she was much bruised about the body, and her arm was dislocated. Her system was much shaken, and the accident might have a serious effect upon Mrs. Brown. Mr. Buchanan then addressed the jury for the defendant, and said he should call witnesses to prove that it was Mrs. Brown's own fault she had been injured, and that defendant was not so drunk as had been described. Defendant was called, and said he remembered the acci dent. He was not drunk ; all that he had drank that day, up to the time of the accident, was one glass of porter. He called out to Mrs. Brown to move when he was about 26 yards from her. There was a cart which defendant was compelled to avoid, and in doing so he grazed Mrs. Brown's arm. This witness flatly contradicted all that had been sworn by the witnesses as to his conduct. Witness was advised to give the woman 2s. 6d., or it would cost a deal of money. . Cross-examined—Had offered to give plaintiff money to settle, rather than havo any law ; but it was all her fault. Two witnesses said that defendant was a sober man gene rally, and was certainly sober, though excited, upon the day of the accident. The learred Secondary summed up, and the jury gave plaintiff £25 damages. MIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Very little English wheat was on offer in to-day's market ; nevertheless, owing to the return of more favourable weather for the crops, millers generally operated with extreme cau tion, and the demand for both red and white qualities ruled very inactive, at about Monday's improvement in the quo tations. Foreign wheat, the supply of which continues on a libe ral scale, moved off slowly. In prices, however, no change took place. Foreign cargoes of grain commanded previous rates, but the business done was only moderate. The barley trade was steady, but without leading to any advance in price. There was a fair demand for all kinds of malt, at extreme quotations. Oats were in request, on quite as good terms as of late. Beans and peas were steady. Flour commanded Monday's currencies.

LOOK AFTER YOUR WATCHES.-Mr. Maxwell, the chief mate of the screw steamship Marley Hill, lying in the river, waited upon Mr. Yardley, and complained that his watch, a valuable one, had been obtained by a man named Arthur Morrison, a watchmaker of Leman-street, under pretence of clearing and repairing it, and that he had since been unable to get his watch or to see Morrison. Howland, No. 89 H, a police-constable attached to the court, said other complaints of the same description had been made by seamen against Morrison, who had been long in the practice of going round the dicks and visiting the shipping, and had obtained a great many watches and time pieces. He believed Morrison was bankrupt and not to be found. Two orders had been issued from the court for the restoration of watches intrusted to Morrison for repairs, but he was unable to serve them upon him. Mr. Maxwell here said—My wife's father made me a present of the watch. I would not take £l2 for it. He had been to Morrison's house at all hours, sometiaaes at five o'clock in the morning, and could not see the fellow. He comes round to the ships and gets our watches under false pretences. hlr. Yardley—l believe I have heard of this person be 'ore. You should not intrust your watch to such a person. You should go to a respectable shop and take a receipt for your watch. _ _ Howland—Morrison has got many watches from masters and mates of ships, and they can't get them back. He is bankrupt. _ _ Mr. Yardley—Bankrupt or not, he has no right to detain people's watches. Look into this, Howland, and endeavour to obtain the restoration of the applicant's watch, and warn Mr. Morrison against the consequences of detaining people's property. A I•tEW SCHEME FOR - UTTERING BASE COlN.—Thomas Smith, a dirty. looking boy, aged 16, and who gave his address, No. 15, Hare-street, Bethnal-green, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with uttering a counterfeit half-crown to Mrs. Grimes, the landlady of the Ellerthorp Arms public-house, in Kirby-street, Poplar. Mrs. Grimes said the prisoner came into her house with a jug, which he placed on the counter, and called for a pint of porter, for which he handed in payment a half crown-piece. She took it up and found it to be a counter feit one. The prisoner refused to say where he lived, or who sent him for the beer, and she gave him into custody. The prisoner, in defence, said a man sent him for the beer, and gave him the base coin. Mr. Yardley inquired the distance from Hare-street, Bethnal-green, to the Ellerthorp Arms, in Poplar, and the officers in court answered three or three miles and a-half. The prisoner said he was sent from Hare-street, Bethnal green to the Ellerthorp Arme, in Poplar, for the beer. (Laughter.) Mr. Yardley—Nonsense; not a very likely proceeding. Police-sergeant Dillon, 19 K, said this was a new dodge to pass base coin, A boy without his hat entered a public house in Bow with a jug, a few days since, and called for a pint of porter, for which he tendered in payment a base half-crown; and when the fraud was discovered he ran away, leaving the jug behind him. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner until Tuesday neat TIIIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Aug. 31.—Wind this day at noon—South- Westerly ; pleasant breeze, and fine weather.

TIIE HARVEST NEAR ?Am.—The fine weather which has prevailed during the last few days has been turned to good account for harvest work in the neighbourhood of Paris. Every disposable hand bas been employed, and a considerable quantity of the productions of the earth been safely housed. Reapers have been also at work in cutting the crops which remained standing, and as the corn which had been before cut had been placed standing in shocks and covered with a reversed sheaf, the grain has not suffered by the wet. A NOVEL MATCII.—The match at Newmarket between three race horses and five couple of foxhounds, over the four mile course, to come off in the next October meeting, is beginning to create some interest in sporting circles, and the betting appears to be even. Many are in favour of the hounds, while others more acquainted with the qualities of both hounds and horses over such a dis tance, are in favour of the horses. The hounds will run by a scent trail over the course, which will bo so divided that the canine racers cannot run upon that of the horses. Two couple have already been down to Newm.rket, and from what we can gather the best kennels in England are likely to be applied to for the dogs. The match, we understand, is for £2,000, and the conditions of winning will be, not that all the horses shall be before every hound, or viceversa, but that if one horse is before the hounds, or one hound before the horses, the match will be decided thereby.— Bury atag .Noruilla .Pot. 812 I 100 100 100 1141 120 2, 691 70 I 100 ,AA 100 107} 81 100 stocl stoc] stocl 99i i 20 20 431 2! 81 124 4} 121 gto, all 100 1 all ss.

The screw steam gunboat Hind, from Falmouth, tender to the Russell, 60, blockship, arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday. The Russian screw steam frigate Gromoboy, 50, Captain Ponafidine, left the Sound on Wednesday. Prior to her departure she saluted the flag of the Commander-in-Chief, Sir A. Fanshawe, C. 8., which was responded to by the Impregnable, 104, Captain Lord F. Kerr, in Hamoaze. The screw steam Coastguard ship Hogue, 60, Capt. Reginald J. J. G. Macdonald, has been put out of No. 3 dock at Keyham steam-yard, and placed under the sheers, and has received her bowsprit. The screw steam-sloop Desperate, 8, is now coal ing alongside the jetty in Keyham basin, Ply mouth. The new screw steam gunboat Doterel, at Devon port, has been dubbed for examining her plank, which was ifound perfect. The artisans com - menced coppering her yesterday. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Commander W. C. F. Wil son, to the Spiteful, commissioned ; Commander J. R. Alexander, to the Ariel, commissioned; Com mander E. Field, to the Landrail, commissioned; Lieut. Henry Fairfax, to the Ariel ; Lieut. W. A. de V. Brownlow to the Tartar; Lieutenant F. M. H. Blair, to the Trafalgar; Lieutenant Charles G. M'Gregor, to the Wellesley ; Lieu tenant Richard B. Foster, to the Colossus ; Lieut. John B. Telfor, to the St. Vincent ; Lieut. Alexander Hender, to the Hogue ; G. A. F.

Artillery Company proceeded to Woolwich yester day, under the command of Capt. Jay, to draw from the Government stores two six-pounder guns, with harness, &c., which have been granted for the use of the troop. The butt at the Crystal Palace erected for the London Rifle Brigade having been found to require some addition before it will be available for prac tice, the commanding officer is making arrange ments for the use of another butt at a convenient distance from town, where ball firing can commence without further delay. The exertions of the adju tant to organise a volunteer bugle band have been attended with gratifying success. The band played for the first time at the head of the battalion on Tuesday last in the Regent's Park. The Victoria Rifles (Ist Middlesex) still manage to keep up a very creditable muster, the crack of the rifle being heard all day long and under every variety of weather in their spacious practice ground at Kilburn. ~The evening parades are now chiefly devoted to the bayonet exercise, in which the men take the greatest interest. A strong desire exists among the Victoria Rifles to develope the study of the most formidable weapon upon the principles of the fencing school, whereby the musket and bayonet becomes capable of being wielded with nearly the same skill and flesse as the foil itself. The commanding officer of the 13th Kent, or Greenwich and Deptford Corps, has intimated his intention of raising a company of cadets formed of youths between the ages of 12 and 16, Already 20 names have been received, the annual subscription being fixed at 10s. 6d. A similar company is also now forming for the Hatcham (New Cross) Rifle Corps, the ages of the young gentlemen being fixed at between 14 and 16, the annual subscriptions to be 55., with a cost of £1 18s. for clothing. When formed this company is to be attached to the Ist Surrey Rifles. On the occasion of the opening of a public recrea tion ground at Faversham, a few days since, the ladies of that town and neighbourhood presented a set of drums and fifes to the 2d Kent Artillery Vo lunteer Corps. The presentation, which consisted of ten fifes, three small drums, and one large drum, was confided to the Hon. Mrs. Mills. Captain Hall having acknowledged the gift in a suitable speech the instruments were played upon, after which the Mayor of the town proposed three cheers for the Hon. Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Captain Hall, and the ladies generally. which were heartily given. The Cheltenham Volunteers were inspected by Col. M'Murdo, Inspector-General of Volunteers, and Col. Dick, assistant-inspector of the district, on Wednesday, in the College-grounds, kindly given for the occasion by the directors. The day being unusually fine, a very large number of persons were present. All the four companies mustered, to the number of 250. Col. Parnell, C. 8., commanded, and put the companies through the movements, all of which the Volunteers executed with a quickness and military precision that surprised every one pre• sent, not excepting the Inspector-General, who at the conclusion of the evolutions addressed the com panies, saying how very much pleased he was to find such a very fine body of Volunteers so well drilled and such good soldiers. He was pleased to see all the four companies together, and strongly - recommended them to form themselves into a sepa rate battalion. The Colchester Volunteers will compete next Thursday in Wyvenhoe-park, near Colchester, for a prize cup, given by Mr. J. Gurdon Rebow. The ranges will be at 600 yards, five rounds to be fired, and ties will be shot off (two shots each) at 900 yards. The cup will be presented by Lady Geor giana Rebow, at 3 p.m., and the grounds will be thrown open to the public, for whom various amuse ments will be provided. On Monday the members of the Stourport corps had a general muster for the purpose of being " officially " inspected by Lord Lyttleton, the Lord- Lieutenant of the county. At 7 o'clock his lord ship came on the ground, accompanied by Lieut.- Colonel F. W. Knight, M.P. for the Western Divi sion of the county, when the company was drawn up in line in review order to receive them. After the usual salute, the Lord-Lieutenant and the Lieutenant-Colonel went down the ranks and closely inspected the men and their equipments. The company were then put through their manual and platoon exercises and some field evo lutions, concluding with skirmishing, which was per formed most admirably, and showed how much at tention the men had paid to this part of their drill. At the conclusion the Lord-Lieutenant and Lieu tenant-Colonel addressed the men and complimented them on their proficiency, The 3d West Riding of Yorkshire (Bradford) Rifle Volunteers have been engaged in sections in ball practice at Spring-wood, Bowling ; and there is every reason to believe that as the members of the corps have displayed great diligence in learn ing their drill exercise, so they will not relax in their efforts to become good shots. A scheme of competitive prize shooting has been arranged for the battalion upon the following bases:—The five best shots of each company (there are six companies) to shoot for three prizes value respectively—let, £25 ; 2d, £l5 ; 3d, £lO. The best shot of each company to get a prize, value £3 ; also a silver medal, the size of a florin, to be attached to the breast with a scarlet riband, and having on one side the Queen's effigy, and on the other the Brad ford arms. Medal to be held by the winner while best shot of his company. Badges as follows :-1. Best shot of regiment,—crossed muskets, em broidered in gold, with gold crown above. 2. Best shots of companies, —crossed muskets, em broidered in gold. 3. Those men who get seven points in the first class to be called marksmen, — crossed muskets embroidered in silver. The first and second prizes to be shot for at 600 yards, five rounds each man. Should the winner of the first, second, or third prize be the best shot of his com pany, the third prize to go to the second best shot of his company—the medal to the best shot. The best shot of each company to challenge the best shot of each company in any regiment in the West Riding for a sweepstakes, to be subscribed for as follows :—By officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of each competing regiment—captain, £1; subalterns, 15s. ; best shot, 10s. At the above rate the sweepstakes amount to £3 a company. The first, second, and third prizes, amounting to £5O, have been given by Mr. Titus Salt, M.P. for Brad ford, who has promised a similar sum to be shot for next year. Major S. C. Lister, Commandant, pre sents the prizes for the best shot of each company, and the medals and badges are given by the offi cers of the companies. THE HARVEST IN THE WEST OF ENGLAND.—In the line of country from Bridgwater to the Quantock Hills, says a correspondent, the country teems with the fruits of the earth. In many fields reapers are busy with the sickle, or rather with the scythe, as more commonly used now for cutting wheat. The crop is abundant, and in this district not at all beaten down or grown out by the late rain and winds ; barley and oats in the same abundance and good con dition ; fields of turnips unexceptionable ; the meadows filled with grass, and the trees in the orchard overloaded with apples, though necessarily small from the immense multi tude. Indeed, the whole country promises everything that can be wished, and only wants a continuance of tho bright sunny weather with which wo have boon blessed since Sun day, in spite of the croaking of somo and the speculations of others, to make the harvest turn out Well at last,—DQrsee Oronick. IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY. THE HARVEST. Being now on the eve of September—the month in which harvest operations are nearly completed in Ireland—the apprehensions for the safety of the yet unripe crops are daily, if not hourly, becoming more serious. For the last few days there has been nothing like a permanent amendment in the weather —there have been some snatches of sunshine, accom panied generally by brisk winds, which are just now highly serviceable, but the rain still predominates. Yesterday was extremely fine up to night fall, when the sky was again overcast, and the showers recom menced and continued up to this morning, and it is at present gloomy and wild looking. The Cork Examiner of last night says — The weather appears to be singularly variable throughout the country, and its uncertainty was curiously illustrated in our own neighbourhood. On Sunday heavy showers showers fell in Passage and Queenstown, while on the seashore of the har bour not a drop of rain fell. Monday was a most glorious day in Cork, while about Crosshaven and other parts near the mouth of the river rain fell in torrents. Yesterday, to the intense disappointment of those whose hopes had been buoyed up by the fineness of the preceding day, the rain began to fall at 10 o'clock, gradually increasing in intensity to wards midday, and continuing with great severity until nearly nightfall. This rain extended over the greater part of the county of Cork, though the telegraphic weather report of yesterday reported almost every other district of Great Britain and Ireland fine. The appearance of the crops here still continues to give cause for much anxiety. There is probably no better corn country in the whole county than the district lying between Cork and Midleton, but even there, among fields of fine produce and perfectly ripe, crops of oats may be seen as yet quite green, with hardly a yellow ear among them. Many wheat fields, too, are very backward. Frequently the hay seems to have been very badly saved, and much of it lies upon the ground in a state that makes it not worth removing. In every cornfield where the crop stands in stook numerous heaps may be seen of sheaves to wet that they would not stand, and were therefore compelled to lie in dirty, saturated bundles, The further east you go the poorer are the crops, and the more do they, especially hay, seem to have been damaged. To the west of the county things are still holding out well, but every day that passes makes a favourable change of -vea then matter of great anxiety. Fortunately, we still continue to hear good accounts of the potatoes, and even in Youghal, where they were considered to have been among the very worst in the county, the crop is turning out better than was expected. This day the weather has taken up again, and, notwith standing the fall of a shower or two, gives occasion for hope of a favourable and lasting change." From Wexford, another extensive corn-growing district, the last report is as follows : " The hearts of the farmers are beginning to rise, and the public have cause to rejoice in the prospect of improved weather which it has pleased an all wise Providence to open to us for the past few days. Saturday was, in the main, favourable, a soft mist only occupying a portion of the afternoon, but the night was breezy and bright, as was Sunday, which did much in improving the condition of the cut corn. About 3 o'clock on Monday morning, we experienced a very heavy shower of hail and rain, ' accompanied by a strong west wind, but we are happy to learn that it was almost limited to the im mediate locality of Wexford, passing away eastward over the Channel. Monday was, with the excel)... tion of two light showers, favourable weather, and. all hands were engaged in rearing, binding, and, stacking ; while yesterday was in general respeci L e favourable and delightful harvest weather till nc,on, when it became hazy, terminating in rather b eau and continuous rain. The quantity of grain immediately awaiting the sickle is wonderfully small, and even under the most favourable conditions full another week will elapse be fore the weight of the harvest will have ar rived. Spring oats were more generally sown last season than for some years past, and they partake, of course, of the general backwardness. Tartary oats are pretty common, a prolific crop and stood. well. The bean fields are excellent, the stalks tall. and generally well podded from bottom to top. A.Y.I intelligent and closely observing gentleman, wirio has lately travelled in the west of Ireland, informs us that the appearance of the harvest is far more advanced here than he found it in the County Clare ; but he particularly remarked there the superior aspect of most kinds of cereals, which be says he can only attribute to the much smaller quan tity of seed used, and the consequent greater expo sure to the air, which causes each seed root to tiller abundantly and gain a more robust strength, and prevents it from falling under rain, or enables it to. rise again." KOSSUTH IN ITALY. BELLAGIO, LAGO DI COMO, AUG. 26. Reuter's telegram has doubtless ere this informed you of the unexpected arrival of Kossuth at this place. He came in by the steamer ) esterday after noon, at half past 4 o'clock, from Colico, and took up his abode at the Hotel de la Grande Bretagne, on the shore of the lake, midway between Colico and Como. At half-past 7 o'clock the hotel and the adjacent gardens were illuminated, and bonfires were also lighted on the shore, which were quickly responded to by a number f similar beacons at several points along the long mountain ranges of the opposite side of the lake. The population of Bellagio is but small ; yet scarcely an inhabitant could have been absent from the spot where the Hungarian liberator had taken up his abode. The enthusiasm of the people was very great, and at each discharge of cannon their cries of " Viva Italia !" " Tiva Ungheria !" " Viva Francia !" and, though last, not least, " rya Ing hilterra!" were as loud and noisy as the most vehe ment patriots could desire. The town band, consist ing of nearly 40 musicians, assembled under the window of the hotel, and played several airs with much precision, the most popular of which seemed to be the Hungarian March ; after the performance of which Kossuth appeared at a window, and bowed several times to the populace, which act was the signal for renewed vociferation. At about 10 o'clock the crowd dispersed, and the lights of the hotel were slowly extinguished. By a singular coincidence Prince Albrecht of Prussia arrived from Colico by the same steamboat in which Kossuth had embarked, and proceeded at once to his elegant villa opposite to Bellagio, from which he had been absent for two years at Candasa. Satur day was also the birthday of the son of the Marquis d'Azeglio, in compliment to whom many of the villas were brilliantly illuminated along the shores of the lake, the effects of which, under a lovely Italian sky, with a bright-shining moon, were most fairy-like. At an early hour this morning the town band took a boat, and as they approached the Hotel de la Grande Bretagne serenaded Kossuth, who again appeared and acknowledged the compliment offered to him. The movements of this remarkable man are at present unknown, but the general im pression here appears to be that he is about to take some part in the war of liberation, than which nothing can be more popular in this part of Italy, if the signs of enthusiasm everywhere apparent may be taken as genuine. The hatred against Aus tria, at all events, is most unmistakable. The Prin cess Demidoff is staying at the Hotel Genazzini, which is adjacent to Kossuth's hotel. The fair Russian seemed to be much interested at Kossuth's reception, and as soon as the serenade ;of this morning began appeared on the belvedere of. the hotel. as the NEW Hors .—The first pocket of newarhinogp.sorfeamchareld our market yesterday from M r .

STORM AT PORTSMOUTH.—PORTSMOUTH, Thurs day.—Portsmouth and its vicinity has been visited with another tremendous hurricane. The weather had been un settled for many days, frequent rains and sharp gales, but this morning, at two o'clock, the storm burst forth in all its fury, tearing open window shutters from their fastenings, uprooting trees, levelling hundreds of acres of corn t o th e earth, and utterly destroying many of the finest gardens at o Southsea. The houses shook with the fury of the bl as t, and many of the inhabitants got up, nor did they re t urn to their beds until long after daylight, at whi c h t i me e ti v ie er, s f t r o o r u m t s h . a i d v., p h ar a t a ia o l o ly nti s u o u ft e e d ne t d ht d ou oN g v h k at the nthe g d a a l y e ~ h TheoNv - men of war have struck topgallant yards and masts and housed topmasts, veering out plenty of cable and letting go another anchor. The danger flag has been kept up at Gos port, and the signal flag hoisted at the dockyard semaphore to prevent any communication between the ships and the shore from Spithead. It is feared that many deplorable 1 accidents will have occurred. It is already r umoured that l the Wildfire, schooner yacht, was seen to g o l down off Port land, head foremost. Ix •Ie hope the report is without foun t dation, but it is believed generally throughout the port. Two boats were lifted by the storm off the beach, blown to a great distance, and smashed like or an g e boxes. The low lands are completely inundated, an d many good fields aro under water.
