Admission, is. The Cholera in the Mediterranean. brought to the knowledge of the respective Euro pean Governments. (Front the Times' Correspondent) VALETTA, Aug. 22. In this memoir Colucci Bey stated the opinion, already shared by all physicians and enlightened men in Egypt, that the cholera, which first made its appearance at the commencement of this century, and has since several times completed the circuit of the world, sacrificing many million victims in thickly-peopled Europe, had its rise in Iledschaz, the Holy Land of Islamism, and notably in the cities of Mecca and Medina, and upon Mount Ara rat. The Kurban-Bairam, or Feast of Sacrifice, which falls in the first half of the month Zil-hegge, and forms the object of pilgrimage, annually as sembles in the holy city 700,000 or 800,000 pil grims, who congregate from all points of the Is lamitic compass, in order then to return home with the title of Hadji. The unreasonable manner of life, the nameless filth in which these pilgrims exist during the whole period of pilgrimage, is sufficient, combined with the murderous character of the climate, to kill a large number. The dead are not regularly interred in the hurry of this wandering life, but hastily shuffled under the desert sand, subject to be uncovered by moderate wind, so that they after a short period infect the air. Added to these miasmata come the exhalations from the garbage of perhaps two million sheep offered as sacrifices to the Deity, for even the poorest pilgrim must offer at least one. The flesh is consumod by the devotees, but the offal, blood, bones, entrails, and even the skin soon de compose in that glowing atmosphere, so that ulti mately a deadly epidemic could not fail to issue from that abundance of stench. This was also the case in the present year, when the festival of the Kurban Bairam fell in the first week of May. It was im possible but t hat cholera should proceed from such a centre of decomposing animal matter, and it broke out with such violence that in the space of a fort night 100,000 pilgrims died. The scanty reports that have been this year received from those regions are positively appalling, and an-agent of the Egyp tian Government writes-from Mecca itself that the corpses of the dead waiting for burial were piled up in all the mosques of the town. It is a Mussulman prejudice not to change the clothes during the entire period of pilgrimage, but to wear them constantly until return home, when they are cut into pieces and distributed as memorials among relatives and friends. The clothes of the dead, however dirty and filthy, are carefully packed up as sacred relics for the same purpose. Can it therefore be wondered at that these Mecca pilgrims form the epidemic telegraphic wire along which this murderous disease is diffused over the entire world ? Can Europe ever be regarded as secure from the cholera or any other disease which may follow, just as cholera has followed plague, so long as this barbarous practice of pilgrimage to Mecca is not abolished, or, at least, kept within reasonable bounds ? This is the gist of the memoir submitted by Colucci Bey to the Egyptian Ministry. He fully admits that the subject upon which he invites dis cussion is far beyond the competence of the Egyptian Government, or even of the Porte, and that it can only become an object of serious negotiation by the intervention of the European Powers. But it is nevertheless an undoubted fact that the wretched custom of pilgrimage is the true cause of the great epidemics which periodically return to devastate the European continent, and regarded from this point of view the present memoir seems to deserve con sideration. The outbreak of cholera in Constantinople and its appearance in other parts of the Mediterranean have caused fresh alarm and anxiety to a considerable portion of the inhabitants of this island, lest the epi demic now existing here, but which appears to be declining, should receive additional strength and vigour by new arrivals from infected countries. The native papers are earnestly calling on the Govern ment to increase the quarantine. Two petitions to the Governor—one in English, and the other in Italian—having this object in view, are in circula tion, and have been numerously signed. The Eng lish one is as follows : "Respectfully showeth,—That your petitioners have learnt with regret that the terrible scourge--the cholera— which has unfortunately visited this island, and which has made its appearance in various parts of the East, is assum ing a most virulent character in the Turkish capital, where hundreds of persons aro daily falling victims to the dis ease. That your petitioners are informed that several mer chant steamers may be daily expected in Malta from Con stantinople, and it is not unlikely that they will bring nu merous passengers who naturally wish to be spared from the fearful ravages of the cholera in that capital, and take refuge in Malta; that, at a time when the epidemic is for tunately on the decline in this island, and when hopes are entertained that the danger will soon pass away, it be comes necessary that all precautionary measures should be adopted, and that a most rigid quarantine be established with the view of preventing the spreading of the disease. That, according to reliable intelligence received in Malta last week from Ancona, the cholera is also fearfully raging in that city ; but, nevertheless, no quarantine has as yet been imposed here on arrivals from Ancona and from other infected towns along tho shores of the Mediterranean. - Wherefore, your humble petitioners most respectfully pray that your excellency will be graciously pleased to take the above facts into kind consideration, and direct that the quarantine of seven days already established by a Govern ment notice of the 18th July last for vessels arriving from Constantinople should be extended to such term as the local Board of Health may deem right and fit ; that quarantine should likewise be imposed on all arrivals from Ancona and other infected towns along the shores of the Mediterranean, and that orders be given for the performance of quarantine on board the steamers or vessels in which the passengers arrive ; and your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray and be grateful." The following is a translation of the'petition in Italian : " The humble petition of the undersigned inhabitants of Malta, showeth,—That these islands being afflicted with Asiatic cholera, imported from Alexandria of Egypt while it was raging terribly there, proves that the very brief period of quarantine lately established on arrivals from in fected countries is not sufficient to prevent its introduction. That, moreover, the insufficiency of the established qua rantine is not only of very grave peril to the lives of the inhabitants, but exceedingly prejudicial to commerce, as all the countries with which these islands early on most traffic, especially in articles of primary necessity, have cut off communication with them, or imposed a long quarantine on arrivals—as, for instance, Sicily, the ports of Barbary, and even Alexandria itself ; in consequence of which, owing to the exceptional circumstance of these islands being incapable of providing for themselves, the in jury occasioned is very groat; that unhappily the cholera has spread to such an alarming extent in Constantinople that an emigration from that capital to these islands has already commenced—an emigration which threatens to be come very groat, so that the inhabitants of these islands are becoming alarmed, being sure that if for arrivals from Con stantinople the same measures shall be adopted as those established for arrivals from Alexandria the disease will certainly be developed to a most fatal extent, the country being already infected with it, and the inhabitants therefore more disposed to take it. The undersigned, therefore, in submitting to the consideration of your Excellency that the inhabitants of these islands are deeply convinced that the disease cholera is contagious, beg your Excellency would deign to order that arrivals from infected places, especially from Constantinople, be subjected to a full quarantine of 40 days, with the application of the most rigorous sanitary measures ; such quarantine to commence, for vessels not having sickness during the voyage, from the day of arrival ; and for those with sickness to commence 15 days after the cure. Finally, the undersigned pray that your Excellency would deign to reform the Board of Health, and appoint to it more efficient and independent persons, the majority now composing it being ignorant of medical science." A writer in a contemporary says :---I beg to place at your disposal the following extracts from letters I have received from Constantinople relative to the state of affairs produced by the visitation of cholera in that densely populated city. They have been written by a resident whose avocations prevented his leaving the spot at which he had been stationed. This was in the midst of the pestilence, and in close proximity to the hospitals recently established by the Government. lie professes himself to have been an observer uninfluenced by the panic almost uni versally prevalent, and the statements he makes are, therefore, untinged with the excitement which fear produces. To those who are familiar with the his torical narratives of Thucydides, the more recent graphic description of Boccacio, and those incidental to the great plague of London, the similarity of events produced by like causes cannot but be in- The cholera has somewhat decreased during the last few days. Yesterday there were only four attacks, and no deaths, in Valetta. It is most pre valent at present in the cities of Cospicua and Vit toriosa, on the other side of the Grand Harbour, which are very thickly populated by the lower classes, and badly drained and ventilated. It having broken out among the 2d battalion 22d Re giment, quartered in that neighbourhood, the bat talion is about to be placed under canvas. Quar termaster Walter Jones, of this regiment, died on the 18th inst. A few cases continue to occur in other regiments. The epidemic has been particu larly fatal to the women and children. The following are the cholera returns for the civil population in Malta since the date of my last letter : * * * teresting. " Aug. 2.—Signs of sickness, death, and panic are mul tiplying fast. The spirit of fear has conquered the spirit of mammon. The Bourse is closed. The bazaars are shut up. Business is nearly at a stand still, and the mer chants have shut themselves up in their country seats. You see women unable to resist the fascination of fear looking eagerly out of their windows, and pedestrians shrinking back and putting their handkerchiefs to their noses as the coffins go past. Bodies of those scarcely dead are thrust into coffins and hastily hurried off for burial. You call at a shop ; the master or one of his friends is groaning in bed. You go to visit a friend; he has just been buried. Pro cessions of overworked priests fill the streets and pray for the cessation of the pestilence. Five hundred at least died at Stamboul yesterday. In the papers the total number of deaths is stated to have been 320. This is wholly untrue. The most respectable of the missionaries out here, a man of undoubted honesty, told me that 26 bodies passed his door alone. Another man, upon whose veracity I have full confidence, residing in another street in the same quarter, stated that 25 went past his door. Both live in retired streets in a healthy part of the town. What must the cholera be in the unhealthy localities ? "Aug. 3.—Another act of the tragedy is being performed. The Sultan has given orders that all classes are to make merry, so bad brandy, raki, and Turkish music are the orders of the day. So with the unceasing tramp of the hamals, carry ing the dead, the streets resound with monotonous twanging, drunken routs, and howling. For the last few days the wea ther has been almost unbearable. The sun rises red hot. The wind neither brings freshness nor the night coolness. In the sun the glass is at 133 deg., and in the coolest room 'in the house 85 deg. At Galata it ranges from 90 to 92 deg. After a sleepless night I rise with hardly strength to dress. Hundreds of silly stories are going the round of the place. Here is a sample :—A pious Turk at Stamboul had a dream. He was addressed by a venerable man when he was lying half awake, who said to him, ' Why do you pray so much, my friend; do you not see that God has sent this scourge to punish the wicked, and do you think he will alter his decision for you ?' Then the visitor vanished. More lying bulletins ; 270 stated to have died before yesterday. I be lieve I understate the number when I say 1,000 die daily. I cannot shut my eyes to the truth. Here are two facts : The young gentleman to whom I - alluded as having adopted a strongly astringent diet as a precautionary mea sure of safety went to make a call. Two persons had just died in the house. He rushed away to another. There were three dead there. Coming back he met the dead cart with at least 100 bodies inside. The same day an English man saw a number of corpses buried in an adjoining ceme tery. He counted 120. I learn that six medical men have succumbed to the disease. • "Aug. 4.—There is the greatest difficulty in finding medical men. I had occasion to go for one yesterday, but there was none to be found in Galata for love or money. By the merest luck I met with one at Pera. The doctors are overworked and they shut themselves in, and say they are ' not at home.' As to myself lam as well as usual. I don't fear. I eat fruit in moderation, and bathe, in defiance of the doctors. This is a good time for making some curious studies in human nature. Some of those who have studied Renan's book, and are convinced of the truth of his argu ments, now crowd into Christian churches in abject terror, and make not very successful attempts at praying. Others who have led lives of gaiety have now assumed the garb of Puritans, and denounce their fellow-sinners as the cause of the pestilence. One poor creature who had been thus assailed I saw go past with quite a hunted look in her countenance. Every one is complaining of domestic mise ries of a minor character. Servants leave and no fresh ones are to be obtained. Hamals are departing in hundreds. Yeast to make bread cannot be had. Meat has risen to an i enormous price. Aug. 18 Attacks. 44 37 46 Deaths. „ 22 The Gove "Aug. s.—The cholera has assumed most frightful pro portions. Two thousand at the very least perished yester day. The papers, of course, still conceal the truth. The chief of the municipality unblushingly avowed his right to do so. I seem to be living in the plague of London, so much do the general features of the times begin to re semble those narrated by Pepys. The little cemetery behind us is full of corpses, buried only 15 inches under the soil, and the municipality has forbidden any more burials there. Yesterday two large barges as high as a first floor window► from the ground ware taken up the Golden Horn for burial. On the same day several hundred 4/ice ,~ r PROFESSOR and the Misses ANDERSON. — Farewell season. —World of Magic.

A man named Charles Vale has bean to-day committed for trial on the warrant of Mr. Best, the coroner for Eves ham, on the charge of killing his father. The inquest was held to-day before Mr. Best, when it transpired that the prisoner lived with his father (the deceased) and his brother and sister, at Pi - idgenorth ; that on Thursday night he came home lsie and was making a noise, when his father, told him to desist, on which one of the daughters pushed her father out of the back door. He then got in at the front, when the prisoner seized him by the shoulders and with an oath pushed him into the street and knocked him down, feacturing his skull and causing instant death. The following witnesses were examined : George Tombs, cooper, heard a quarrelling at the Vales between ten snd eleven o'clock on Thursday night, and saw the deceased and the prisoner struggling together in the passage. Told the prisoner not to strike his father, and he said he would not, but that he would turn him outside. When they got outside the passage the prisoner struck his father, and the latter fell on the pavement on the back of his head. Two other witnesses, a printer named Gestingham and a gardener named Baylis, who saw part of the affray, cor roborated Tombs's evidence. The prisoner, when thrust ing his father out of the house, had his hands at his throat, and threatened to " kill the -." Deceased fell with great force on the pavement, and no signs of life were visible in him after. Baylis heard the prisoner say to his father, as he pulled him out of the passage, " - your old eyes, come out and Pll give you something."

The following Order in Council appeared in a second supplement to the London Gazette of Friday, August 25 :-- "At the Council Chamber, Whitehall, tho 26th day of August, 1865, by the Lords of Her Majesty's Most Hon. Privy Council ; present Sir George Grey, Bart., and Mr. Secretary Cardwell. _ . . . _ _ "Whereas, by an Act passed in the Session of the 11th and 12th years of her present Majesty's reign, intituled 'An Act to prevent until the Ist day of September, 1850, and to the end of the then next Session of Parliament, the spread ing of contagious or infectious disorders among sheep,cattle, and others animals,' and which has since been from time to time continued by divers subsequent Acts, it is (among other things) enacted that it shall be lawful for the Lords and others of Her Majesty's Privy Council, or any two or more of them, from time to time, to make such orders and regulations as to them may seem necessary for the purpose of prohibiting or regulating the removal to or from such parts or places as they may designate in such order or orders, of sheep, cattle, horses, swine, or other animals, or of meat, skins, hides, horns, hoofs, or other part of any ani mals, or of hay, straw, fodder, or other articles likely to propagate infection; and also for the purpose of purifying any yard, stable, outhouse, or other place, or any waggons, carts, carriages, or other vehicles ; and also for the purpose of directing how any animals dying in a diseased state, or any animals, parts of animals, or other things seized under the provisions of this Act, are to be dis posed of ; and also for the purpose of causing notices to be given of the appearance of any disorder among sheep, cattle, or other animals, and to make any other orders or regula tions for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of the said act, and again to revoke, alter, or vary any such orders or regulations ; and that all provisions for any of the purposes aforesaid in any such order or orders contained shall have the like force and effect as if the same had been inserted in the said act ; and that all persons offending against the said act shall for each and every offence forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding £2O, or such smaller sum as the said Lords or others of her Majesty's Privy Council may in any case by such order direct ; " And whereas several orders, dated respectively the 24th of July and the 11th and 18th of August, 1865, have been made undefthe authority of the said acts by the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council, with a view to check the spreading of the cattle disease described in the two last mentioned orders; " And whereas it is expedient to vary the said orders ; "Now, therefore, the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Coun cil do hereby, by virtue of, and in exercise of the powers given by the said acts, order as follows: " I. That this order shall extend to all parts of Great Britain. "11. That in this order the word 'animal' shall be inter preted to mean any cow, he.ifor, bull, bullock, ox, or calf. " 111. That whenever the mayor or other principal officer of any corporation, or the justices acting in and for the petty sessional division of any county, or district in the nature of a county, within England or Wales, and the pro vost or other principal magistrate of any burgh or town, or the justices of any county within Scotland, shall have reason to apprehend the approach of the said disease to the district over which his or their jurisdiction extends, it shall be lawful for such mayor, or other principal officer, and for such justices in England or Wales, and for such provost or other principal officer, and for such jus tices in Scotland, if he or they shall think fit, from time to time to appoint one or more veterinary surgeon or sur geons, or other person or persons duly qualified, to be an inspector or inspectors, for the purpose of carrying into effect within the district for which he or they shall have been appointed, the rules and regulations made by the said recited orders and by this order. And the same authority may from time to time revoke such appointment. " IV.

SUFFOLK. In the Beecles district Mrs. Nunn has lost four cows, one heifer, and two calves. Mr. Hamley, of Worlingham, has had five bullocks attacked by the disease, three of which have died. The disease has appeared in the neighbourhood of Walsham-le- Willows. NORFOLK. The Hon. T. de Grey, M.P., has received a letter from the Home Secretary on the subject of a sug gested quarantine. The following is an extract : "I am to inform you that it is doubtful from the evidence as yet in possession of the Government whether this disease has arisen from the imported stock, bu t that the Commis sioners of Customs have been directed strictly to enforce the provisions of the Order in Council made in pursu ance of the Act 11 and 12 Vic., cap. 105 , by which any diseased cattle imported into this country may be seized and destroyed if necessary for the purpose of preventing the spread of the contagion." District meetings for the adoption of preventive measures have been held at booking, Fulham, Swaff ham, Downham, &c. On Saturday a meeting of the Central County Committee was held at Norwich, Mr. C. S. Read, M.P., in the chair. The statementsmade as to the progress of the disease showed that several new cases had occurred, but that the visitation did not appear to be spreading rapidly, while it is still only partial in its effects. The fund raised in aid of the County Mutual Insurance Association is increasing, a subscription of £lOO having been received from the High Sheriff (Mr. H. W. Trafford) ; the Hon.

'ln addition to the 70 cases of cattle plague which occured at Meriden, near Coventry, five of which were fatal, a few weeks ago, the disorder has broken out more recently at Hurley, near Coleshill, but any further extension was prevented by the destruction of the affected animals by their owners, who by this means fortunately lost only seven cows. The above were the only reported cases in this county up to Saturday last. They were mentioned in The Sun. The same day a meeting, to take measures to pre vent the extension of the plague, was held at the Shire-hall, Warwick, the H i g h Sheriff, Mr . H. T.

A circular, of which the following is a copy, has been prepared by the council of the Royal North ) Lancashire Agricultural Society, and will shortly be among the cattleowners and farmers of the northerzi division of the county : " The Cattle Plague. Precautions and Suggestions. —l. Attend diligently to cleanliness and proper ven tilation in your shippons and cattle-sheds ; use water and the besom, quick lime, or other disinfectants freely, and frequently limewash the interior of your buildings. 2. Pay the strictest attention to the wholesomeness of the food and the purity of the water supplied to your cattle ; house them in good time ; and do everything possible by care and attention to maintain a high standard of health. 3. Buy no stock but such as is absolutely necessary, and get a warranty from the seller, or take the opinion of a skilled person:before you buy. 4. Keep separate each lot of newly bought stock, whether cattle or sheep, for a fortnight; and do the same with the animals you may bring back unsold from a market or fair. 5. Lose no time in insuring your cattle agains t the effects of the cattle plague. 6. Keep a strict watch over your stock, so as to detect the first symp toms of the disease ; should any appear, send at once for a skilful veterinary surgeon ; remove the animal attacked immediately to a situation as far as possible from the healthy stock; and avoid any and every pos sible means of communication between the diseased and healthy stock, by man or beast, by clothes, pails, fodder, litter, manure, or any other thing. 7. Carefully destroy by fire the fouled bedding, dung, &c., of the animal affected, so that nothing connected with the disease may be re moved to the midden or flow into the tank." GUERNSEY. On the 23d inst. the Royal Court of Guernsey passed an ordinance, whereby from and after Mon next, the 28th inst. masters of vessels are forbidden, under penalties, to import cattle from the United Kingdom into Guerniey unless they are provided with a certificate from a person exercising the pro fession of a veterinary surgeon declaring that the cattle on board are healthy and free from all conta gious disease when shipped in the United, Kingdom ; such certificate to be authenticated by a justice of the peace or notary public. By other provisions of the ordinance no cattle to be imported into Guern sey except at the harbour of St. Peter Port ; and all cattle imported thereat are to be declared to the harbour-master on arrival, and not to be taken away from the quay without his leave. 20 rnment have established soup kitchens in Valetta, Floriana, and the Three Cities. The soup is very palatable and of excellent quality, and will doubtless be a great boon to many poor people, who, owing to the stagnation of business of all sorts, are entirely deprived of the means of subsis tence. Sicily continues to enjoy a perfect immunity from cholera, while it has appeared in the Neapolitan provinces and other parts of Italy. If she escapes altogether it will be a strong argument in favour of segregation, where it is possible, to prevent the introduction of this much-dreaded epidemic. On continents, and in large tracts of country, such iso lation from the rest of the world is of course impos sible. The Supreme Board of Health, sitting at Palermo, have re - established communication with Malta by imposing a quarantine of 14 days to be performed at Trapani. The towns on the coast of Barbary have also been hitherto exempt from the disease, although cases have occurred on board ships riding out their qua rantine, both at Tripoli and Tunis. The Turkish Consul has intimated that Tripoli will not admit fugitives from infected places, except they be domi ciled residents at Tripoli returning there. Letters from Constantinople of the 14th inst. say that the daily deaths there from cholera amount to 1,000 in a population of about 1,000,000. remained At Beyrout, under date of the 13th ult., we l earn that a panic had seized the people, and nea r ly ever y one v in of a tthe town. population n of .

[FIIO3I REUTER'S EXPRESS.] ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 23. At a recent meeting of consular delegates, the President of the General Sanitary Department for Egypt, Colucci Bey, communicated the draught of a report submitted by him to the Egyptian Minister for Foreign Affairs, which he recommended to the special attention of the meeting, expressing at the same time the wish that its contents might be THE HARVEST. The weather hus continued unpropitious for harvest work in many parts of the eastern district, although the constant showers which have fallen are very partial. In the neighbourhood of Stamford a large quantity of grain remains =garnered, and reports are current that the new wheat is sprouting in many places. In the Long Sutton district harvest operations have been much retarded by stormy days, but during the past week the weather has happily been more favourable, and large quantities of corn have been secured in fair condition, although, in several instances, carrying has been too hastily effected. Reaping-machines have done good service in this neigh bourhood. Several samples of new wheat have been ea• hibited in Spalding market ; the quality has varied con siderably, and has not been very good. A large quan tity of corn has now been carried about Thorney ; the quality and quantity are inferior. In the Market Rasen district a few stacks have been raised, but a great propor tion of the corn is still unfit for loading. A Lincoln report says that in that neighbourhood harvest operations have been greatly impeded by unsettled weather and frequent showers ; a great breadth of corn is down. A similar report is made from Trentside, where fears aro entertained that there will be sprouted corn. CUMBERLAND. The long-continued rains and the warm temperature of the air had such a serious effect upon the grain crops that the farmers of Cumberland were beginning in the early part of this week to entertain gloomy apprehensions with regard to their cereal crops. Some of the barley and oats had begun to show signs of sprouting, and it was feared that much damage would thus be done. On Wednesday, however, the weather took a'favourable change ; the rain ceased, bright sunshine prevailed, and a dry wind blew with most bene ficial effect upon the stocks standing in the fields. Since then the fine weather has continued, and much progress has been made with the harvest. There is, however, a general complaint that shearers are scarce, and this dearth of labourers retards the operationi of the farmer conside rably. With regard to the yield of corn, reports from va rious parts of East Cumberl an d concur th at w h eat w i ll fall _ _ little, if anything, below an average. Barley is also ad mitted to be a fair crop. Oats are said to be inferior in both quantity and quality, the long drought having not only made the straw short, but the grain thin and far from so good a sample as last year. The reports concerning potatoes and turnips are more favourable. The rains have proved very beneficial to the turnips, still the crop, though much better than had been anticipated a few weeks ago, will be under an average. Potatoes promise to be a full crop, and the pastures and aftermaths look very well. NORTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE AND SOUTH YORKSHIRE. All the white corn has been garnered on the light soils in North Nottinghamshire, and all the large farmers to the west of Retford have all but finished their harvest. The yield varies considerably, and although beneath the average of the last two years, it is proving better than had at one time been anticipated. On the clay soils the wheat, most of which is cut, is remarkably good, and also on the manly and black soils. On the alluvial soils the wheat is spoken of hopefully, and all that is required is dry t condition,The early potatoes weather.

Turnips have made considerable improvement, owing to the late rains, but these cannot be a heavy crop this year. The bean crop is not a heavy one. The pastures and aftermaths are completely resuscitated, and they have not looked better for many years than they do at present. In South Yorkshire the probable yield of wheat varies in many localities. On the south side of Don caster wheat and barley is indifferent on the sand lands, while on the wide district west of the town the straw is short, but the straw is crowned with a good ear, and the yield may be pronounced an average one. Barley is indiffe rent in many places. Oats are below an average. The late rains have greatly retarded, but have been of vast benefit to root crops and to eddish and pasture lands. THE NORTH OF IRELAND. (From the Belfast Whig.) The past week has been showery and sometimes cold, but not without frequent gleams of sunshine, and for the most part conducive to the growth and ripening of both cereals and green crops in places where they have not yet arrived at maturity. But dry weather would now be more advantageous, so as to admit of harvesting operations being pursued with due vigour. The cutting of grain is proceeding as well as the weather will allow, and a great deal of oats and wheat have come under the sickle and reaping machine. The reports as to the quantity and quality of cereals are very similar to those of last week. Oats will be short in the straw, but of an ave rage yield ; while the crop of wheat, though little has been sown, will be larger than usual. Turnips and other green crops are exhibiting a remarkable degree of vigour under the influence of the present rainy weather, and are shoot ing up wonderfully. The quality will also be good, but, in the most favourable view, they cannot be expected t o . produce a really good crop. The seed was generally late in being sown, and all that was not put into the ground early will be a short yield. The flax is undergoing the steeping and grassing, although in some favoured localities it has passed through all its stages, and been sent to market. The yield is still reported light ; but the quality is said to be better than for many years, so that it is not unreasonably assumed that the remunerator of the grower will be about the same as last year, when the yield was greater, but the quality not so good. The rains are benefiting the meadows, but there are complaints that they will still be light. Front one place in the county of Down we hear of the potato dis ease having made its appearance, and affected three-fourths of the crop on one farm. In alll other directions the crop is stated to be of the most excellent description, both as to quantity and quality. A large breadth of land was sown with potatoes this season, so that any extensive blight would be most disastrous to the agricultural community who have risked so largely on the fortunes of their old but fickle Mend.

PEE-HISTORIC IMPLEMENTS FOUND AT ELBA. An interesting archaeological discovery has just been, made in the island of Elba, the particulars of which have been communicated by M. Simonin to the Paris Academy of Sciences. A number of bronze and stone implements have been found, nine-tenths of the latter being made of a flint entirely unknown in Elba, and which must have been brought from Naples, if not further. The principal articles found, beginning with the most perfect, are arrow heads of a long triangular shape, recallingthose which have already been found in Greece and Italy; knives, similar to those found by MM. Lartet and Christy, in the caves of Aurignac, &c. ; scrapers, also similar to those found by MM. Lartet and Christy, and resembling those now used by the Esqui maux ; adzes, of the same shape as those found by M. Boucher de Perthes, but smaller ; nuclei, reminding one of the pains de beurre of Pressigny, and also other objects of indeterminate form. The discovery of remnants of the Bronze Age in this island explains a piosage of Aristotle hitherto obscure, in which he remarks that in Elba bronze was worked before iron.--Thre Reader.
