HUMPHREY'S CAMOMILE PILLS. A Preparation of unparalleled success, from this inesti mable plant, recently discovered by Mr. Humphrey. It puri fies and cleanses the blood, strengthens the stomach, invigo rates the constitution, affords certain and speedy relief to flatulency, loss of appetite, drowsiness, giddiness, nausea, heartturn; and in all cases of indigestion , headache, stomachic, bilious, or nervous affections is unrivalled. Its preparation is personally superintended by Mr. Humphrey, and its immense sale in the locality of his residence is the best proof of its efficacy. A scientific and laborious research for the benefit of a private patient and valued fr'end led to its discovery ; its wonderful properties induced the Proprietor to extend its salo for the benefit of the afflicted. Without descending• to the quackery of saying it is a cure for all disorders, yet the virtues of the camomile are so skil fnlly extracted and combined with other invaluable medica ments, as to render it the most perfect remedy discovered for the above disorders. Igir Observe the genuine have the Proprietor's name writ ten on the Government stamp in hiz own handwriting.

Collyer, seeing her condition, insisted that the experi ment must be discontinued. " We then informed the audience where we had taken the lad:. Dr. Lewis also stated that this was in accord ance with his suggestion, and he considered the results both accurate and wonderful. There are a great number of trees in that burying-ground, much shrubbery, several large monuments, one of which has a vine upon it, and what is more remarkable,' said 1)r. Lewis, ' the light from the street lamps would naturally strike upon my own family tomb, which is numbered 22 !"rhe audience were thrilled by this announcement, as by an electric shock, so fearfully true were the results." We have not space to extract all the instances of a similar nature which (recurred in the course of these exhibitions, as we find them reported in the same paper, and in the Boston Mil, and the Boston Morning Post, of various dates, front the Ist down to the 19th of July. The following, however, related in the leading article of the Mail is very curious, and equals the cases re ported by the French commission of 1826. The subject in this case, it will be seen, is a buy. " Dr. Joseph Dixon, of Taunton, a gentleman who has been for some years a believer in animal magne ! tism, was next put in communication with the boy, and carried him to his house in Taunton. The boy described the size and appearance of the house accurately ; told the number of steps, the colour of the door, and of the paper in the front entry; described the appearance of the "Actor's study; and, on- being taken into another apart- ment, said he saw two ladies; that one of them was lying on a bed, and was sick. Nov,' sail he, they are gi r ing her something to drink.!' Question by Dr. Dixon— ' What is the matter with her ?' Ans.—' Oh, she has something in her side.' Ques.—' What is it ?' Oh, it looks bad.' Ques.—' How does it look ?' Ans. It looks bad, and white—she is going to die !' " These results were of such a fearful character that Dr. Dixon became very much excited, and was unable to proceed with the investigation. Theboy, acting in concert with his mind, sighed deeply, and soon fell into violent convulsions, from which it was difficult to relieve him. " Mr. Dixon then informed the audience .that the boy's descriptions of his house were correct in the must essential particulars. He said he had a daughter, about eighteen years of age, who was sick, and the disease. it was supposed, was an affection of the liver! This was the most convincing experiment in ettir-voyance we hare ever witnessed." _ _ " With respect to the degree of credit to be attached to those statements, we really have no thing to say, but that they are placed before us on as sound a basis as it is possible for human evidence to rest upon. . . Expe rience has proved that the influences which may be exercised over the nervous powers of man are . altogether unlimited in their extent and in their nature. Hence it is always unwise, and even irrational, fur any one to say, on a subject so mysterious, that this fact is impossible, and that that fact could never have taken place."— Monthly Review, London, Oct., 1833. The pleasant pseudo-paradox, " It may be impossible, but I know it is true," will often be the only answer which can be offered to the per versely incredulous, by a person who is placed, with respect to animal magnetism, in the same circumstances as some of the American editors, whose papers are now b e f ore us . These gentle men:—all writers of great ability and high attain• tents—all known personally to their fellow citizens by the daily publication of their names, with the titles of their several journals—solemnly testify to the " fearful reality of the mys terious influence called animal magnetism," in some cases from their personal obser vation, in others from their personal expe rience. But their assertion, of " True," is si ill met with the cry of " Impossible," by numbers around them, who, like a large mass of our own neighbours, will neither observe nor inquire. From the candid and elaborate reports, which we find in the Boston newspapers of last month, it appears that the public investigton of mes meric phenomena is proceeding re;Few Eng land with as much energy, both of favour and opposition, as in Europe; but with far greater fairness and good feeling, and consequently with f'ar greater chance of a searching and satisfactory scrutiny than the subject has yet undergone in London.

At the Audit-House on Friday (yesterday), five fel lows, belonging to a gang of thimble-riggers, were placed at the bar, charged with obtaining money and securities to the amount of 1701. from a gentleman named Ed wards, residing at Mil'brook. They gave their names John Purcell, of Dudley, Worcestershire, glass cutter; Frances Varyer, of Burford, Oxfordshire, cook ; Ben jamin Parrott, of Sheffield, file grinder ; Joseph Kemp and James Curran, labourers.—Mr. Saunders attended on behalf of Mr. Edwards, and stated the particulars of the case, which will be gathered from the following state ment made by the complainant.—Thomas Spencer Ed wards deposed—On Tuesday last about one o'clock I went to the Southampton race-course. A little beyond the grand stand I saw some persons collected round a table, on which a man was playing with three thimbles and a pea. The prisoners Purcell, Parrott, and Varyer, were standing round. The man with the table offered to bet to any amount, from a sovereign and upwards, that the pea was not found. I saw several sovereigns won and lost. The three prisoners were looking on. One of them advised me to try my luck. I took out my purse,—in whiCh were one sovereign and a 501. note,—and put the sovereign down, which I immediately lost, by taking up a thimble which the pea was not under. Parrott said, " try your luck again." I replied that I had nothing but a 50/. note, and I would not change that. The panics round the table went on playing for larger stakes, 10, 20, or 30 sovereigns. A man standing behind the man who played the thimbles, whenever the thimbles were moved, took up that which Covered the pea and said, " now's your time to bet, you're sure to win." At these times, the thimble-player turned his head away. The mad put down 50 sovereigns, which he said he would stake. 1 put down my note, and immediately lust it. Before I did this, I saw several persons win large sums. I walked away. Parrott followed me, and said he was sorry I lost,—that I was too much agi tated, or I should not have lost. He invited me to go and take a glass of sherry with him, but I declined. He said we had better go back and look on ; two or three eyes were better than one. We went back to the table, which had been moved a little distance. Parrott touched me, and asked which thimble I thought the pea was un der. I pointed once or twice, and he coincided. Varyer, who, with Purcell, were still standing by, said, " Try your luck again." I said I had no money. Parrott said he had no money, but his friend would lend me some. Varyer then took a handful of sovereigns out of his pocket, which he almost forced on me., I was induced by him to take it and bet, and I immediately lost it: This was done two or three times, until Varyer told me I had had 701. Parrott then said, " Come away, you have had bad luck ; you are too timid." We went away to the back of the booths, Varyer following.—(Mr. Edwards went on to describe that the party got him to give his ac; ceptance for 701., payable in two days ; that Parrott, under pretence of friendship, remained in his company, and managed again to fall in with the ; table, where Pur cell And Parrott indUced him to play again, and give his gold watclt as security for 50/., which Purcell lent him, and which ,"as of course immediately lost ; and that he then became a,7ake to the trick practised on him. He left the course, am;, an appointment having; been made for the Purpose of redeLl"ull; the watch and acceptance, Mr. Edwards took with him inspector Enright and two police officers, who took the melt into custody. The other two were taken at their lodgings iit'SLlTug's Head Tap. Inspector Enright and Serjeant Terry deposed to knowing the whole of the party, and to having often seen them on the race course. They Were remanded until Wednesday next. —Hampshire Independent. In Boston, Taunton, and all throughout Mas sachusetts, the subject has attracted the greatest attention, and is examined with the most in tense, yet, as far as we can judge, with the most sober interest. Clergymen, physicians, and even barristers of the highest repute, not only attend the public exhibitions, but test the cor rectness of the impressions which they receive there by private experiments in their respective social circles, under circumstances into which fraud or delusion could not enter; and the tes timony which they render is at once startling and conclusive. Although from the open and severely-scruti nized character of the exhibitions, it may be of little moment to inquire who is the exhibitor ? yet it will, perhaps, be satisfactory to state all that we know of him. His name is Dr. Henry Ro bert Collyer. He is a native of Jersey, and stu- died medicine and surgery at the London Uni versity, under Dr. Elliotson and Mr. Samuel Cooper, the celebrated author of the Dictionary of Practical Surgery. The latter, in writing of Dr. Collyer, sayS :—" I am convinced that he will manifest, not only great profeSsional skill, but the strictest honour and integrity in whatever situation he may be placed." It seems that in consequence of the excitement produced in Bos ton, by reports of his private practice in Mes merism, he was either invited or challenged by members of the Massachusetts Medical Associa tion, of which he is a licentiate, to repeat his experiments in public, and to operate not only on his own patients, whose susceptibility was ascer tained, but upon all who might choose to submit to the operation. Accordingly, in the beginning of July last, the public exhibitions commenced in a theatre of the Temple in that city, and were repeated nightafter night with wonderful results before crowded audiences of the most respectable citizens, including all the distinguished members of: the learned professions, whose names are given in these reports. The ordinary phenomena, which we have repeatedly reported in The Sun, as we witnessed them in the experiments at the North London Hospital, the Hanover-square ' Rooms, and at private meetings in the house of Dr. Elliotson, were again and again exhibited. By ordinqry phenomena, we mean the mesmeric sleep, accompanied with preternatural insensi bility, somnambulism, magnetically produced, and in many respects different from that which sometimes naturally occurs, and an occasional manifestation of physical and intellectual powers not possessed by the patient in the natural state. It happened sometimes (as we learn from the re ports, though we suppose it must in such re peated experiments with so many subjects of various temperaments, have happened often) that an evening's exhibition passed off with out producing any other result than the fatigue and disappointment of the audience. This would not have been made a ground for the accusation of " imposture and humbug" by any reasonable sceptic, who fairly conceded the pos tulate, which is premised before a solution of the mesmeric problem can be attempted—that " all persons are not susceptible, and that the same persons are not susceptible at all times." Occa sional failures, therefore, partial or total, should re move from any mind, justly reasoning, all suspicion of trickery or collusion. It' the exhibitor were a charlatan, he should never fail, as the charlatan commands his own results, and can always effect the same deception by the same means. The non-universality of mesmeric susceptibility is an acknowledged principle, and where the magnet iser never fails collusion may justly be suspected. No number of subsequent failures could disprove an effect once manifestly obtained; but there were not wanting in the Boston Temple, more than at the Queen's Rooms, those who could dis believe the facts which they had previously wit nessed, because they did not appear again under apparently the same circumstances. These persons, reasoning by the logic of the Irishman, who could not believe himself guilty of the act which a dozen had seen him commit, because lie could produce a dozen others who . did not see him do it, created : unseemly inter ruptions of the exhibition ; and, consequently, the frequenters of the theatre came to a resolu , tion, that at each meeting the company should elect from amongst themselves a committee to superintend the proceedings, and act as a medium of communication between the professor and those who wished . to put questions, or to propose particular tests of the experiments. From that time matters went on with regularity, which was interrupted only on one occasion by an eminent engineer, who failed in producing the failure which he pertinaciously attempted. He retired amidst the laughter of his fellow-citizens, and a Boston paper thus reports him : " Mr. Adams during the whole affitir mani fested a degree of impudence, stupidity, and bigoted self-conceit altogether insufferable. He was made the butt of ridicule to the end of the exhibition." The license of the British press would not al low us to characterise in such terms, however appropriate, the conduct of certain gentlemen who have similarly disturbed the London exhi- CH ARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT DRAYTON P.ARSLOW. On the 25th ult., an inquest was held at Drayton Parslow, Bucks, before J. W. Cowley, Esq., and eighteen respectable Jurymen, on view of the boy of Solomon Loveridge, a gypsey, aged twenty-three, whose death was occasioned under the following circumstances : The Jury having been sworn, the Coroner observed that as the result of their inquiry might possibly involve two individuals, named Jolla and Joseph Smith, then in custody on an alleged charge of slaying the deceased, he should give them an opportunity of being present during the inquiry. They were accordingly called in, and upon beM; asked whether they wished to be present, re plied in .the affirmative. Kitty Millburn, kept a public-house in Drayton Pars low. The two Smiths and deceased came to her house on the previous Thursday night about a quarter before ten. Deceased called for a quart of beer, which all three sat down and drank. They remained about twenty mi nutes, and appeared on the best terms. Deceased paid for the beer. In a few minutes afterwards she heard a quarrelling up the road ; supposed it to be among the parties who had just left. They were rather l'resh in liquor when they quitted the house. Ann Chappel resided in a cottage near Mr. Fountain's rick-yard. About ten o'clock on Thursday night she heard some men quarrelling on the road. Heard some one say, " come and go in the rick-yard, for this is the highway, and you will be run over." Somebody answered "I wont go, I will lie here and die first." She also heard one say immediately afterwards, " Don't squash my guts out." Hannah Viccars examined.—On the previous Thursday night, about half-past ten, she went towards Mr. Ram tain's.rick-yard. There saw the tv o•prisoners and the deceased; they were dragging the latter along the road toward the rick-yard. Joseph Smith put his fist in her face, and said he had hit the —on the jaw. Deceased did not speak. James Webb examined.—Was present when the two Smiths dragged the deceased into the rick-yard. They laid him uner a rick and then left him. They ran towards the church. Saw John Smith go into the rick , yard the next morning between loin- and five. Did not see bins conic out. Other witnesses were called, who' fully corroborated the fact of Joseph Smith having struck the deceased on the head, of his subsequent bruta treatment, and that on Friday morning .the deceased was found lying under the rick quite dead. • John 'Thomas Wynter, surgeon, was of opinion the congestion and effusion of blood were produced from the bumps on the head, and they were undoubtedly inflicted by some blunt instrument ; a blow from the fist or falling to the ground was calculated to produce such an injury. Was of opinion that deceased's - death was caused by the injuries descriled. Should say death ensued shortly after the injuries on the head were inflicted. The prisoners were apprehended on the Friday morn ing, about eight miles from Drayton. The CORONER then addressed the prisoners, and told them they were not bOund to say anything while there, and it was entirely at their option to do so or not ; and it was his duty to tell them that whatever they said would be taken down in writing, and produced in Court, and might criminate themselves. •• . Joseph Smith expressed a desire to say a few words ; he then stated as follows :—" We quarrelled on the road ; deceased struck me first, and then I struck him." The CORONER then. summed up, explaining to the Jury the difference between murder and manslaughter, andjo what extent the present case bore reference to each. After a short consultation the Jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against John and Joseph Smith, and the Coroner accordingly issued his warrant for their commitment to Aylesbury gaol, to take their trial at the next Bucks assizes.—Leansington Spa Chronicle. A S , • bitions. At length Dr. Collyer was induced, by the de mand of his visitors, to produce, from a distant place, a young lady, whose powers of clairvoy ance had been much talked of; and the reported results of those public experiments in her case are such as we should at once reject with disbe lief and contempt, it' we had not already seen enough to make us hesitate before we pronounce anything impossible which comes supported by similar evidence. The reporter (and, it seems, editor) of the Boston Paper, the Yankee Notion gives the following account of his own experiments upon her :—[We must premise that by taking her to a place it is meant that, being in what is called " magnetic communication" with her, whilst she was In the mesmeric sleep, and in ascertained insensibility to everything around her, he proceeds in imagination to the particular place, when the clairvegante, though never in that place before, is expected to describe it, without any sign or intimation from him.] " Dr. Lewis requested us, in a whi s p er , t o t a k e the lady to the new burying-ground,, on ' the Neck,' so called, near the Roxbury line ; a place we had never visited, and had . only seen from the street as we have passed occasionally on foot, or in a carriage. Being put magnetic communication with the lady, we took her, i n i m agination, to the corner of Winter -street, down Winter-street to Washingtanitreet, up Washington-: street to the Lafayette Hotel. We thee uevntelly looked at the Boylston-market, and asked her what she saw, She replied, A high building.' We then took her, in thought, directly from the Boylston-marl:a to the gate of the new burying-ground, without passing along the street, and asked her what she saw. She reilivd, see a large open place.' Dr. Lewis sat very near the lady, and heard her answers distinctly. We then asked what she saw in the open place. She answered, I see a great many trees.'

A letter is published in the same papers from a clergyman, said to be of high cha racter, named Dod, who states that he found. similar phenomena in a young lady of his acquaintance, mesmarised by himself, in the presence of her family, to whom he refers. A curious letter is also publishedfrom a gentleman, named Nymon, who appeals to his fellow citi zens whether he has not been known to them as an avowed disbeliever in the immortality of the soul, and declares that what he had seen at those ex hi bitions has convinced him, after the most anxious and scrupulous examination of all the facts, which he believed at first to be solely produced by imposture and collusion, that the " soul has a separate existence from the body." A Committee of twenty-four—eight clergy men, eight lawyers, and eight physicians of eminence in Boston, and most of them sceptics —was appointed to make the .experiments in private, and make a public report to their fel low-citizens. They published a detailed account of their proceedings from day to day, and con cluded with an unanimous resolution. "That, while this Committee refrain from ex pressing any decisive opinion as to the science or principle of animal magnetism, they freely confess, that, in the experiments of Dr. Collyer, certain appearances have been presented, which cannot be explained on the supposition of collu sion, or by a reference to any physiological principle known to them." It cannot be denied that the resolution is suffi ciently cautions, especially when we find in the authenticated report of the investigations made by the Committee, the following account amongst several of a similar character : Dr. C. had said to some members that Frederick was now in an unusually fine state for ibirveyance, when John C. Park, Esq., whom Dr. C. had declared to have the requisite continuity of thought, was put in eommu nication with the lad. Mr. Park, without giving any intimation of his intended course, and avoiding all lead ing questions, asked the boy as to what he saw. The first two or three answers not being satisfactory to Mr. P., he willed him back again, he said, to where we were sitting, and then proceeded again. Each succeeding an swer, as Mr. P. declares, was correctly descriptive of the same things, in the same order, and at the same times that Mr. P. had the ideas of them in his mind directing attention to them. Mr. Park's question-1. What do you see ? Frederick's answer—Something high. Mr. Park's statement made on each answer after the conclu sion of the whole experiments.—The building west side of Bowdoin-square. Mr. P.-2. What colour is it ? Ans. —Black or white—not very black. Mr. P.'s statement —lt is of granite. Mr. P.-3. What is there about it? are there any streets ? Ans. One on each side. Mr. P.'s statement—Such is the fact. Mr. P.-4. What do you see now ? A door, Mr. P.'s statement—l viewed in imagination the door of the jail in Leveret-street. Mr. P.-5. Any thing about it ? Ans.—Only the steps there. Mr. P.'s statement—There are steps to it.. Mr. P.-6. Now pass into that door with me through an entry, and what do you see ?—Ans.—Oh, a great many doors. Mr. P.'s statement—l was in imagination at this time, and during the two following questions was in ahall of the jail, having in it nine: doors all in view.— Mr. P.-7. How many ? count them.—Ans.-1, 2, 3 ; I can't count them. Mr, P.-8. Yes you can; I can and so can you. Try again.—Ans.--1, 2,3, 4,5, 6, ; oh, there's more than that ; I can't count them. It's a cold place ; I don't want to stay here.. Mr. P.—Well, then, we'll leave this place and go to another. What do you see ?—Ans.—A door. Mr. P.'s statement—l content plated the door of Williamson's cell. Mr. P.-10. Well. well go into that door. Ans.—Oh, we can't, it's all barred up. We can't, go in. - Mr. P.'s statement —lt's kept bolted, of course. , Mr. P.-11. Why not ? yes, we can. We will go in. Are we in ? —Ans.—Yes. Mr. P.-12. What do you see there ? Ans.--A man. Mr. I'. 13.—Any body else there ? Ans.—No, one man, and no more. Mr. P.'s statement —Williamson alone is kept there. Mr. P.-14. What is he doing?—Ans.—Sitting there. Mr. P. 15.—What does he sit on 7—Ans.—Something dirty. Mr. P.'s statement—The beds are dirty. Mr. P.-16. 1)o you see any thing else ? —Ans.—Only the black thing over there. Mr. P.'s statement—l knew not what the boy meant at the time, but went directly to the. gaol and Williamson had a black article up against the wall to lean against as he sat. Mr. P.- 17. Now we'll turn round, and • what do you see ? Ans.—A small white thing, round. • Mr. P.'s statement- A tub, for necessary purposes, which is round. Mr. P.-18. What is it for ? Ans.—lt's nasty I don't want to tell.—(Exhibiting great disgust.) Mr. P.'s statement—Correctly described thus. Mr. P. 19. Well, you've told enough about that. What do you see now ? Ans.—A window. Mr. P.'s statement—l was directing attention to the window. Mr. P.-20. Look ont at that window. Ans.--I can't. Slr. 1'.—,21. Why? Ans.—lt'sdirty. Mr. P.'s statement.-4 was wishing to have him speak of the iron gates to it, but I do not cum• prebend his answer. Mr. P. then said—Now we'll go another part. What do you see ? But the answers this and another question not being satisfactory, Mr. P. said—Well, I don't know where you are. You are where I'm not, and proceeded no further. The following is Mr. Park's certificate of the above :—" I hereby certify that the expressions above attributed to me, are in sub stance correct. " JOHN C. PARK." This article has already carried us so far that we must conclude by expressing a concurrence with the sentiment expressed in the paragraph from the Monthly Review, which we have placed above. There can be little doubt that the recent work of Mrs. Romer will cause mesmerism to be snore extensively thought of and discussed in this country, than all the writings of Mr. Colquhoun, or the experiments of Elliotson and Lafontaine. It is at this moment, therefore, the more desirable that the subject should be fully investigated, and the question determined whe ther it is one of imposture or reality. For this end, we could suggest no better means than those adopted by the intelligent citizens of Bos ton—the election of a Committee at every exhi bition to communicate between the company and the magnetiser, so as to prevent disorderly interruption, which have no more satisfactory results than to expose the ill manners and presumption of some well dressed persons. A general meeting of the learned professions and others interested in physiological research might be held here as in Boston, - for the purpose of appointing a Committee to conduct in private 4 sPl'}Pi of eNperinients, which we have no doubt would very won enable them to give tile public a conclusive and Fiatisfactory report.

Mrs. Trollope's " Charles Chesterfield, or, The Youth of Genius" is now published, complete in three volumes, doubtless to the great delight of all no vel-readers. The Naval and Military Gazette observes that " Mrs. Trollope (even bearing in mind Widow Barnaby herself) has never chosen a better subject for the display of her great and varied powers than in these " Adventures of a Youth of Genius . ' We have perused her pages with great admiration. At the variety, the vigour, the individuality, and the truth of the portraits here placed before us, the invention and the dramatic tact displayed in the incidents and the s i tua tions, the forcible humour and cutting satire of many of the scenes. (especially those connected with the literary co teries), and the remarkable originality displayed through out in the whole conception and execution or the work, the whole has a strength and stamina about it which bespeak for it a permanent place among the prose fic tions of the day. The comic embellishments by Phiz are numerous and excellent, and will greatly add to the attraction of the work.

Tissot, Solomon, Jordan, Goss, and others. By WILLIAM HENRY CASTLE, Surgeon. Illustrated with Cases. This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.: -Ist, The cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ; and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided. The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare. The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay, impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities, comprehended under nervous debility, will find this locket Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va rious wants.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver tisement will only allow of being published:— The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With th e f orce o f thi n p re j u di ce on our minds, we with no littl e re l uctance were i n d uce d to peruse Messrs.

With the exception of Tuesday the weather during the past week has been exceedingly favourable for harvest operations. Many fields of wheat and oats la this neigh bourhood have been totally cleared. The crops are stated to be nearly average ones, and the corn is in good con dition. Should the tine weather continue fur two or three . weeks longer we may hope to escape for another year the curse of scarcity with which we were threatened by the baneful influecee of our Corn-laws.—Hell Advertiser. EAST RETFORD.—The harvest progresses rapidly in this neighbourhood, and during the week (a ith the ex eeption of a few hours slight rain on Wednesday morn ing) the weather has been tine. We believe that nearly the whole of the wheat in this district is housed, and we hear fioin all sides that the yield is fully an Average one. Thu fears of scarcity,' are altogether at an end, and the hopes of the Anti- Corn-law gentry have consequently sunk to zero, to yesterday we had a succession of beautiful weather, but in the afternoon a very heavy thunder-storm visited us, and the appearance of the atmosphere in the evening did not betoken such settled weather as we ha‘Tbven favoured with of late.—Cnonbridge Journal.

We have had another week of glorious Weather for the harvest ; shearing has commenced on every iide, though as yet but slightly in the immediate vicinity of the town. The earliest corn actually gathered here was a parcel of oats sold in oar market on Tiles:lay : but we were told yesterday that, not only were the sickle and the scythe busy at work, but that in one instance a fine crop of oats were passing through the threshing machine in the open field. The favoucable change in the appearance or the fine standing crops, within the last few days, and the concomitant fall of prices in the market, have been most exhilirating.—Shdfi.ll Mercury- LEEDS.—The glorious weather of the last moon, from the new moon on Monday, the 16th of August, toi its full on Wedne4day, the Ist of September, has given to the prospects of the corn crops of the present year an es sential improvement. A tolerably extensive tour in North Wales, Shropshire, Cheshire, and Lancashire, with close observation of the state of the harvest, has convinced us that the gloomy apprehensions so naturally excited by the wet and stormy weather of the six pre ceding weeks, along with concurrent accounts, received from other parts of the kingdom, that we may fairly cal , : ciliate upon an average produce of grain, and upon a considerably larger produce, taking all kinds of corn into account, than we have had for any one of the three years preceding. The state of the harvest in the dis trict we have mentioned, froM the source of the Dee to the Mersey, and from the Mersey to the Humber, being divided into finir parts, may be thus represented :—One quarter as uncut, but nearly ready for the reapers ; the second quarter as partially reaped ;"the third as reaped and standing in the fields in- sheaves ; and the fourth es secured in the stack-yard. These proportions will be materially altered by each successive ,harvest-day ; but this may be taken as the present average of the king- . dom, for, while in the great corn counties the corn is chiefly carried, in the North of England, from the Tees to the Tweed, and in many parts of Scotland taut Ire land, the corn harvest has only just commenced.—Leeds Mercury.
