The accident was likely to have been attended with the most fatal conse quences, but fortunately only occasioned some severe bruises, from which, however, his Lord ship is so much recovered that he will soon, we trust, be able to visit his numerous friends. The Duke YORK visited the KING yesterday. Yesterday the Hanoverian Minister and the Right Hon. CHARLES ARBUTHNOT had audiences of his MAJESTY. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, a Ca. binet Council was held at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, in Downing-street, which was attended 14 the Loan CHANCELLOR, the Duke of Wellington, the Earls of Liverpool and Westmorland, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Se cretary Canning,the Chancellor of the Exchequer, ViScounts Melville and Sidmonth, Lord Bexley, Mr. Wynn, &c. The Cabinet sat in deliberation till a quartet` past five o'clock. The Aniericith Ambassador transacted business with Mr. CANNING yesterday at the Foreign Office. '['he Portuguese Minister also transacted business, for a considerable period of time, at the . Toreign Office. The brother of the present Lord llAatwoon was so like to his present MAJESTY as to give him the name of Prince LASCELLES.— The present Sir ALLAN PARK, in his nisi prius wig, is the very counterpart of our late revered Sovereign. And Mr. VILLEBOIS and Mr. Nunez, two masters of separate packs of fox. hounds, used to be continually taken for each other, and the most ludicrous mistakes occurred among persons who hunted with their respective establishments. AWFUL AND MELANCHOLY INSTANCE OF SUD DEN DEATH.- : -Mrs. E. Austin, a laundress, resi dent at No. 9, Houghton-street, Clare-market, was yesterday evening discovered lifeless in her room by her only, and now orphan child. The deceased was highly respected in the parish for her sober orderly behaviour. Yesterday she had been washing the whole of the day, and appeared to - the residents in the house to be more than ttqually good spirited. About six o'clock last night, Mr. James Weaver, surgeon, of Black moor-street, was called into the deceased, and found her sitting on the floor, with her chin on her breast, quite lifeless. He did all in his power to restore animation, but without effect. Apo plexy was the cause of death. An Inquest has been suturnoned to sit this day. • iitj ' ' , . 14 ‘ cv,.... „,-4. •.,,_ ....:, • . ...;- 0-) 0, - - ) r?s , • ~.. g e , ~ ... . 4 4,..._. t. ‘—)r..1.:,1- -,,..,,, : ,.,.,„ef0.,,,%-ti .t i) '''' ...i., , ' ' ' '.( ‹ N s -s -P•Et OT .1‘- • ' v, tii, .44 NEW SCOTCH CHURCH. Yesterday the foundation-stone of the new Na tional Scotch Church, intended to be erected in Regent-square, north of the Foundling Hospital, was laid with great ceremony. The stone was expected to be laid by his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE. The Subscribers, Committees, and Friends of the new National Church met at the Caledonian Church, in Cross-street, Hatton-garden, at two o'clock, where a very numerous and most respectable assemblage, of which a large portien were of the fair sex, attended. Amongst those present we noticed—the Right Hon. the Earl and Countess of Breadalbane and daughter, Earl Gower, Earl of Rosebery, Countess Conyngham, and Lady Chetwynde, with a number of Scottish Nobility and Gentry. At one o'clock a communi cation arrived from his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence and St. Andrew, expressing his regret that indisposition pre vented his attendance. The stone being in readiness to be laid, Mr. Mann, the Chair man of the Building Committee, made a concise address, and introduced Mr. Tite, the architect, to the Earl of Breadalbane, who was proxy for his Royal Highness, with the plans for his inspection. The Reverend Dr. Manuel, of London Wall, then pronounced an eloquent prayer, invoking the Divine blessing upon the work in which they had been engaged, and all those assisting in its execution. The Reverend Edward Irving then delivered a suitable address. Mr. Hamilton, Secretary to the General Committee, then read the inscription on the plate, and exhibited it, with the vase and bottle, and presented them to his Lordship, who consigned them to their place in the following succession :—The glass bottle, hermeti cally scaled, containing an account of the Church, with the names of the pastor, elder, finance and general Committees, and a book of the subscribers to the present time: This part of the ceremony being concluded, the stone was lowered to its , proper place, and the trowel presented to the Earl of Breadal bane, who repeated the formula of nomination, having spread some mortar, and ascertaining that it was in its right position, gave it three strokes with a wooden mallet, and declared it !o be fixed. A tent was erected over the stole, which was in tha centre of the area, and which was gravelled and railed round.. The ground, as well as the scaffblding, was crowded with coin. patty, who were admitted by tickets, 1,700 of which were issued. The glass plate bore the following inscription :- 1 Kings, 11th chapter, 27th verse (m Hebrew)—" But will God indeed dwell on the earth : behold, t'le Heaven and Heaven of Heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house that I have builded." 1 Peter, 2d chapter, Bth verse (in Greek)—" Behold I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious; and lie that believeth on him shall not be confounded." " The first stone of this church was laid on the Ist of July, 1824, by his Royal Highness William Henry Duke of Cla rence and St. Andrew's. Edward Irving, A.M., Minister ; William Dinwiddie, Elder; William Tite, Architect." A sumptuous dinner was afterwards given at the Freema sons"favern, Great Queen-street, to the gentlemen engaged in the labours of the day. The crowd was great throughout the day, but not the least accident occurred. UNIVERSIT Y INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE,.

It was announced some days ago that Mr. ROSSITNIt, one of the late Mr. Ifaants's Committee, and the uncle, we believe, of his widow, would ascend yesterday in the same balloon which had proved &oil to that unfortunate gen. tleman, for the benefit of his widow and family. Something was also said about a young Nobleman, who was to have come of age on that day, ascending with him. The place fixed upon for the ascent was the garden of the Bedford Arms public-house, Cam den-town—the time 4 o'clock. Long before that hour arrived, numbers of persons of all conditions ve l a; to be seen moving along Tottenham-court. road, and as it approached nearer, the crowds flocking towards Camden town in all directions, both on foot and in vehicles, increased rapidly. We were considerably disappointed, therefore, at the comparatively few individuals who appeared within the . gardens ; the others estimating the gratifi cation of their curiosity at a hundred per cent. less ; and therefore remaining on the cheaper side of the walls. Still, however, the number inside, not taken relatively, was very c onsiderable; and we were gratified to learn that u p war d s o f 3,000 tickets had been sold. The process of inflation commenced at about half past two o'clock, and proceeded rather slowly. The balloon was at tached to a platform about .5 feet high; and also held fast by ropes faStened to poles erected at some distance from the platform.— Mr. Rossiter himself took an active part in superintending the arrangements. He is a thin middle-aged man, and was dressed in a plain snit of black. We saw nothing, however, of his intended Noble companion : perhaps his Lordship, upon reaching his full age, attained at the same moment his age of discretion. In the mean time two candidates presented them. selves for the vacant seat in the car; one was Mr. Richmond, of Bow.street, the other a Mr. St. Ashen, who stated that he had already made aerial excursion, having ascended with his father in a balloon from some part of France (Nantes, we tin, derstootia Mrs. Rossiter having expressed a great reluctance to her husband ascending without some person who had been up before, the committee decided in favour of Mr. St. Auben's claim. lie is a gentlemanly looking young man, apparently about twenty or twenty-two yea rs of age. At about five o'clock, the inflation being completed, the car was attached to the balloon. Several bags of sand, and a couple of pigeons, were put into it. Mr. Rossiter then came forward to the edge of the platform, an d addressed the persons near him ; _he said that he bad to return them his most grateful acknowledgments on behalf of the widow an d f r i ends of t h e l ate Mr. Harris, for sure e ir support i l n rin e d xhibitingto upon ni t h i i n s retu. occasion. a felt He great beautiful piecepl ea of mechanism ; and he trusted soon to b e a bl e to show them that its security was equal tomostst its beauty. Ile then bade them farewell, amidst warm and hearty cheers, and prayers for his safety. All his friends shook hint by th e and; as indeed did every person who was able to reach him. The scene at this moment was one of very intense inter est. Mr. Rossiter was himself in deep mourning for a near relative, who had but a short period before met his fate by a similar experiment in that very .machine; and he was sur rounded by his wife and children, also in black. NVhen, there fore, he took leave of his children, particularly the Younger ones, on the platform, and stepped into the car, the feelings of the spectators may be more easily fancied than described. As soon as he was seated, he took Ofthis hat and put on a sealskin cap. We thought we could observe in his countenance a con sciousness of the danger he was about to encounter. Mr. St. Auben maantecl, die car neatly at the same time. When just stepping in, his cheek appeared to blanch for a moment, but be instantly recovered his intrepidity; and as soon as the balloon was detached from its fastenings, and began to ascend, he stood up boldly, and taking offhis hat, waved it to the people. The balloon, however, was either not sufficiently inflated, or there was too much ballast in the car ; for no sooner had it quitted the platform a few yards, than it fell to the ground. Some ballast was immediately thrown out, andit arose a little, but it came against the corner of an out-house, from which there was some diffi culty in getting it clear. Mr. St. Aubin again tossed out afew bags of sand, and it began to ascend steadily until it came in contact with one of the poles, which held it for a moment or two, and excited considerable apprehensions lest the top of it, against which the wind pressed it with great force, should penetrate the balloon. It soon, however, disengaged itself, and being then clear of all obstacles, it rase majestically to a considerable height, and proceeded north-eastward. There being a fresh breeze at the tame, and the sky being much clouded, although the clouds did not hang low, the voyagers, or rather the beautiful machine that sustained them, only remained in sight for about five or six minutes, when, entering a dense fleece of vapour, it wars. completely veiled from our vi ew . In a b o ut fivosso.vistres-tifte - wards, the most painful alarm was ea ci i ied t,Y its re-appearance, as it was supposed, descending rapidly. The balloon seemed to have emitted the greater part of the gas, and hung heavily on one side, which caused a claumsy rotatory motion. It was at too great a distance to discern the car, but from the evident velocity with which it was approaching e earth, all hope of the unfor tunate aeronauts' safety was abandoned; and the general eja culation was, "Oh ! God, they are dead men." The alarm, however, subsided, upon is being stated that the object in view was only a kind of pilot balloOtt sent up from some part of the city. At half-past six o'clock, one of the pigeons arrived at a house in Old -street, St. Luke's, with a Babel fastened to it, stating that a safe descent itad,,been effected at a place called 'layering l'ark, within" 'three miles of liumfunt. The owner of the house immediately proceeded with the pigeon to the Bedford Arms, where the gratifying communication was read from a balcony to the friends of the parties, who received it with loud cheers. At about half-past ten o'clock, Mr. Rossi ter and Mr. St. Auben arrived at the Bedford Arms in n post. chaise, with the balloon strapped on the top. MR. SADLER'S BALLOON. Mr. Mr. Mr.: Mr. EntNnunait, 3triet 29.—Yesterday morning, the signti for the intended ascent of this intreped aeronaut' was ma de de by firing a gun from Heriot'szgreen, and h o i s ting a union jack on the hospital, at eight o'clock. In abo u t h a lf an hour after the process of inflation commenced. The balloon, by the bills, was said to contain . 2B,ooo cubic feet, but i t was deemed expe dient not to put more than 23,000 into it, thus making allow ;Lice for expansion. The gas with which it w a s filled was pracured from the Edinburgh Gas Work, and specially pre pared for the occasion. The coal gas prepared at that este., b'iihnient, for the usual censumption in the city, is very pure, a 'd may be, in specific gravity, as 700 to 1,000. The gee, however, which was prepared for the balloon was of a different description, and its specific gravity estimated at about 500 to 1,000. When the balloon was filled, it was a ipposed to be sufficient to tarry a weight equal to sevan hundred pounds. The mode of ' introducing the gas into the balloon, though very expensive, was very smple. Pipes were laid from the Grassmarket to Heriot's-hospital Green, having ;a stop cock at the end, to which was attached a tube formed of oiled linen, which connected with the under part of the balloon itself. The balloon wad suspended by a cord from two poles, until it attained sufficient buoyancy to support itself, when the suspending cord was removed. A number of men were then employed in holding the net-work covering the balloon, to which, 65 bags, each containing Bib. of sand, were attached—these were lowered gradually as the balloon filled. A number of men were also employed to keep hold of the moans, and to prevent the tube from twisting. Some cords . attached to the top of the b a ll o on were . held in a Banque. manner. At nine o'clock the first pilot balloon was set . oft ; i t rose perpendicularly for n ear ly a m il e , w h e n it took IS a E. titrestion. At eleven o'clock a second pilot balloon was set ofi, winch at first took a westerly direction, but subequently followed the cou rse of its predecessor. D ur i n g the previous part of the morning, the weather had been lowering and dull ; but towards one o'clock th e d a y b egan to c l ear up—. when the balloon assumed a beautiful transparent appearance, to those on off; after rising to a great height, it took a pp aren tly the course the ground. 'About half -pas! one a thi r d pilot balloon was set of the two former ones, but ultimately descended on the Castle hill. About half-past two o'clock a fourth pilot was dis patched, which soared to a great height, disappearing over Inelikieth; and, the balloon was than removed from the place where it had been filled, to a station nearly 50 feet nearer the Hospital. 31r. Sadler then appeared, dressed in a black fur ; cap, jacket, and trowsers, apparently in full self-pos session, and proceeded to make the necessary preparations by at taching the cords of the net-work M the hoop, and afterwards the car to the ballon. In the car, which was painted of a sky-blue calour, and fitted to hold two persons, was placed a speaking trumpet, barometer, thermometer, grappling-irons, with a re ticule containing a flask of wine and a few biscuits. At eight minutes to 3 o'clock Mr. Sadler leaped into the car, followed by a gentleman, who afterwards resigned his place to Mr. Campbell of Glensaddle, who, it is said, had a considerable bet in dependence upon the event, And paid a handsome sum for his aerial voyage. A Mr. Armstrong, a friend of Mr. Sadler, was to have gone up with him, but gave way to Mr. Camp beelell,stevwhoTaopwpne,aredho,vebtrrlfoarnadcoepnusrreidedra,balenttlimwiethovaer ca th n e e we i s n t h a is .grea han te d r . el ei‘eilra.psui Sadler before ed eandatyte endeavoured equilibrium ogr a. be attained in both ends of the car—Mr. Campbell being a heavy man, and Mr. Sadler very light. Everything being got ready at.four minutes past three, the balloon was liberated, and aecinded in the grandest style, the band playing ''' God save the King." It took a westerly direction for a few seconds, owing probably to an eddy occasioned by the vicinity of the Castle. It afterwards inclined more to the east, without attain ing a great height, but subsequently proceeded due north, across end of Leith Docks, in the direction of the Roads, and then gradually inclining towards Inchkeith. It was observed that a quantity of ballast was here thrown out, and the balloon attained el in ti e on ti . lu : tify the inhabitants of Leith, by descending considerably when nearly atove that town. The balloon then was lost sight of n the direction of Leven, in Fife, at 22 minutes before five, haying been visible for an hour and 38 minutes.—Mr. Sadler and Mr. Campbell returned to town this morning, at a quarter before one o'clock. We understand that they descended near Leven in Fife, at 2 minutes after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon —having encountered no adverse accident whatever on their voyage. The car in which they made this adventurous trip, was mounted on the top of the coach that brought them back. SPORTING INTIMLIGENCE. ;ETTING.ROO3I, JULY 1.-STATE OF THE ODDS.

These men, the reputed best ones among thi provincials, met at ten o'clock yesterday morning, at Gage 11111, six miles from To low, Bucks, to fight out their match for 100 sove reigns. Moss has beenproved out and o ut, and Arnold would have been matched against Cannon, but for the latter spoiling the John Bull fighter. It was a rare manly stand up mill of 35 minutes,. each ready and stubbornly keeping towards the scratch. Moss was seconded by Flowers ; and Arnold by one of the Wiltshire single-stick players, of the name of Wicks. In the first round, from eagerness, the hits were in general thrown away, and in closing some scientific wrestling took place for the fall. Moss was under. _ _ _ ..... 2. Steady she goes was the order of warfare. Moss placed a heavy left-handed hit upon his adversary's jaw, but it was quickly returned by a tie-up on the ribs, which made them rattle, and bent the receiver a bit, after being floored with it. 3. All mettle between the two—no denial with respect to nob, was out of thought. Arnold unmuzzlcd first, and let loose with both hands, and the left told heavily. He was hit away, but he fought manfully up to the scratch, floored his opponent, and closed his left eye. . 4. What would be termed by the l3illing.gate women a ricked round. nll the nerves were in action, and the punish ment was voilent more about the bOdy than the head, for. eight minutes, when after a cessation of hostilities, nature having coursrd them, they tumbled together. 5,5, and 7. The rounds were tame, with the exception of falls, and Moss had the best of these. The odds turned two to and after each had one omikiaiw.sscestrnore wa.nevor. insntod. done pTiiing, no men went at more hazardous work. One of nun meant destruction, the other intended all he could do. A se vere hitting round took place, all in favour of Moss, who was evidently the best in wind. The rallies after different br..aka were severe, and at the close of the last, Moss placed a full facer upon the olfactory organ, which renewed the streams of claret, and won him the tight. through a scheming match, or what in technical terms is called dorse. Alosi got victory through a dear channel, as far ns punisl] merit went. LANGAN'S BENEFIT. The Irish Champion hid an overflowing benefit yesterday at the. Five's Court ; not less than 1200 persons were present, and hal i . 1134 many more went away unahleto procure places. The day's play was worth 2001. Ward challenged Langan for 2401. within three months, but Langan said, as he lost 1501. of his own money on the first battle with Spring, and 1501. on the second. he ‘ would not fight und er t h ree h un d re d. Ward rejoined he could not m a k e up t h e ot h er h un d re d. Hi s backers' will most probably make the match for the full sum 11, as he is Langan's equal in weight and height, and has the ad vantage in science an d ex p er i enc e. Spring and Langan closed the day's sport with a very animated eet-to. Spring maintained his superiority With the gloves,. but Langan kept him awake with a f ew occas i ona l ticklers. Spring was much praised for his generosity in attending his rival's benefit, and Langan's speech, returning thanks, drew down thunders of applause. Let him imitate Spring's good conduct in private life, and there is no fear for success in his public capacity. llonnin MunnEtt.—On Monday night last, about 11 o'clock, a horrid murder was committed in the rand leading from this city to Collompton, by 'William Marshall, a husbandman, about 42 years of age, residing at a place called Hill-head, in the parish and about a quarter mile from the town of Broad Clist, towards Exeter. The unhappy perpe trator of this dreadful act served in the earlier part of his life in the Marines, and was for a considerable period quartered in this city, performing the duties of a corporal on the recruiting service, but was discharged at the Peace, and since that time has resided at Broad Clist, where he got married ; for the last two years, it is said he has been subject to fits, and has laboured but little, receiving parochial relief from the parish of Broad. chat. Having a child very ill, he was on Monday last sent to Exeter for some leeches, which had been directed to be applied to the child's head ; his stay, it seems, was longer than it need have been, and it was evening before he returned, appearing to have drank pretty freely ; on entering his house, he said he had brought the leeches, when the deceased, who had then his sick and evidently dying child on her lap, answered, " I fear, William, it is too late;"—Marshall soon went up stairs to bed, and in a short time the child expired. About an hour had elapsed when he was heard coming again over the stairs. At this time, there was assembled below, his wife and a living child, his brother's wife, a neighbour named Susan Thorne. and Ann Taylor ; they were in the act of stripping and washing the dead infant, and fearing some tumult from the state in which he appeared on going to bed, endeavoured to prevent his coming down, but were unsuccessful—he went through the kitchen to an out-house, in which among other things was 'kept his husbandry tools, and in a few seconds rushed again into the kitchen, armed with a spade, with which he aimed a blow at his wife, but suspecting his intention, she ran under his arm, and escaped the intended mischief; the other three women seeing this, fled from the house—Ann Taylor, and the brother's wife, ran on the road towards Exeter; they were pursued by Marshall, when, finding he gained on them, Ann Taylor turned with a view; it is supposed, to get into the hedge, thinking that in the darkness she might escape him, but far otherwise was the result,—he saw the more. meat, and being now close upon the unfortunate woman, struck her with the spade( which from thelength of the handle was a most formidable weapon), the first blow was down across the face, and she was struck to the ground,as her m ore fortunate COM panion in flight heard a cry of murder and for help; the blow was repeat ed, and her cry ceased for ever ;—the skull was literally clove, and the blood and brains scattered on the road. The neigh bourhood was by this time alarmed, and after some re sistance he was secured. An Inquest was taken yesterday Afternoon before Charles Dally Pugh, Esq., Coroner, at the Red Lion public-house, in Broad-Clist, when, after viewing the body, and hearing the evidence, as also that of a surgeon t as to the nature of the wounds, the Jury returned a verdict of Wilfid.llfarder, and the miserable man was about 0 o'clock last eve ning, brought into the Devon County ORA, under the C oro ner's warrant.— H is behaviour while being taken toprison, (during which he was recognized by many persons) was very , proper, and exhibited no symptoms of hardihood or ferocity.:— Anu Taylor the deceased, was about 60 years of age, the wife of a husbandman, and mother of six ch ildren, residing at Burriton, in - Broad-Clist, and bad kindly lent her assistance on the illness of Marshall's child, by which she has so unfor. tunately lost her life.—(Exeter Flying Post, Jura 30.) THE THEATRES. THEATRE.—The benefit of Madamoi selle NOBLET took place last night. The Opera was Tancredi, which we have noticed sufficiently, and need only add that it went off with the usual success. Madame PASTA and Madame RONZI DE BEGNIS were the chief vocal props. A new ballet was brought forward on this occa sion, entitled Judis et Ajourd'hui, au les Deux Tuntes. It would be ridiculous to attempt to develope the plot. It is sufficient to say that it was gracefully presented by all the Corps de Bullet, but particularly by the elegant move ments of NOBLET and the singular comic powers of VENAFRA, both of whom were most deservedly applauded. An elegant and numerous audience. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—Last night con cluded the humorous Monologue, in which Mr. MATHEWS recited his transatlantic trip, and which was of so diverting a description that we believe it has exceeded in attraction all his for mer efforts of the same nature. In the course of this entertaining narrative he displayed the versatility end force of his powers as an actor, and excited the warm applause of near the whole people in the Metropolis, duriog the repetitions of his ludicrous Melange. The Public will perceive that the active and discern ing Proprietor of this elegant and convenient Theatre has secured the talents of Mr.MATitcws for his short, hut, we hope, profitable season.— Mr. MATHEWS, at the close of his entertainment, addressed the audience in the following manner, and retired with every testimony of general ap probation :- 44 LADIES AND GE} TLE (MCC more taking my leave of you. for a season, I wish I could think on something to say which would entitle you to exclaim with our late friend Mr. Bray," Well, I never heard that before !" but the language of grateful acknowledgment is soon exhausted, however un boundedmay be the feeling that prompts it. To say that lam proud of your applause, and grateful for your kindness, is a •c twice told tale, which has been more than thrice repeated ; but he assured that the undiminished favour I have expe.. ricnced has, year after year, iucr,ascti my anxiety to merit your smiles, and will leave an indelible recollection on my heart, when I, and my humble efforts to amuse you, may perhaps be forgotten. N'irhile thus encouraged, it would be affectation, if not in gratitude, to talk of retiring from public ; while I continue therefore to receive your approbation, I shall continue my en deavours to deserve it, and trust I shall next year be able to . - present you with somethiug at least as well deserving your at tention as any thing I have heretofore had the pleasure and honour ofsubmitting to your notice. " With this hope, am. the gratifying anticipation of soon mntin ,, you again, I most respectfully and cordially bid you farewell." TIRE %VIE ROYA L,DU E PATENTEE.) -Mr. HARRIS, who procured the Patent, from the supposition that his superior theatrical know. ledge, and the advantages derivable room hi s connection with the Cosent-Carden Man4e ment, would afford the Citizens- of Dublin advan tages not otherwise derivable, has disposed of the new Theatre Royal, on a lease of five years, at the annual sum of five thousand pounds Bri tish. An English Company are the lessees, and we und,rster;cl that Mr. Anna - I'T, of Covent- Garden, is at the head of the Management. This is a subject to which we mutt return.— (Dublin Gorrespond:ni.)

The )Ate genial rains have been most fortunate for the crops of every description, and for the general impreve. meat of the land. The Wheat is bursting finely into ear ; the Barley anti Oats give promise of a most abundant crop.—'lime rains,. although so highly beneficial for the Grain, has very much impeded the H ay harvest; but little has been got in, and that in very indifferent condition ; the general mowing h is not commenc Ai in these part;; the Gras .continues growing, and a great weght will be found upon the ground should the season prove fine.—The general appearance of all the crops of Grain is tine in the extreme. The Potatoes, of which great quantities have been planted, look very promising, and chew an early blossom.—The Saintfoin and Lucern crops have proved most abundant, and are found highly useful to the mulch cows and working horses. These forwlvrd grasses are getting very much into request, many farmers th:s year have planted Potatoes in order to clean their land for sowing Saintfoin and 'ilium next spring.—The Carrots promise a very heavy return.—lops art much recovered ; the crop will be an average one this seasom— Apples and Pears in some parts have suffered front the late frosts, but a good year may be expected.—Stock of all kinds keep up their pric . l, good stores are much in 'request;. L 431, generally speaking, farmers' faces are considerably shortened, this is a cheering symptom. THE MARKET~. CORN EXCIIANGE, JvI.Y 2.
