No longer ago than l on Wednesday last, the House of Commons resounded with the loud and prolonged cheeis;•*first of the Whigs; and afterwards of the To ries, as their respective champions planted a telling blow on the sides of their opponents.. All the Press was interested on the following day with the masterly though merely factious orations of Lord PALMERSTON and Sir It. PEEL, and commented on them, and pro mised'to make them the text of many a lengthy leader. Monday came, and the two great speeches seemed to be already forgotten. The outstand of the operatives in the manufacturing districts, the alarming fact of an insurrection requiring to be met with troops and can non, and which at once stopped, though it may be, we hope, but for a moment, the welling source of Bri tain's wealth, has consigned almost to com plete oblivion the speeches which those great masters of oratory no doubt supposed were to live for ever. We are not aware that we can by any means represent more forcibly to the imagination the immense impor tance of the movement, temporary as we hope it is, in the manufacturing districts, than by the fact that it has almost driven out of the public mind, as if they had never been uttered, these two masterlyspeeches of , two of England's greatest. statesmen. We are not, therefore, of those who would treat the great social insurrection of the North--for it is more an insurrection against the usages and practices of society than against any positive enactment—as a trifling matter. Whether the present eruption be sooner or later suppressed, the continual apprehen sions which have been entertained for months, and even years, of some such movement—the length of time such a thing has been talked about--the warn ings that have been given concerning it—all conspire to slams that it takes its rise from some deep-seated and ' permanent. cause, which is not to be eradicated, ! though the. symptoms may be alleviated, by the ordi nary political remedies of imprisonment, banishment, and death. The benevolent, though, we think, mis, directed exertions of Lord ASHLEY and the inquiries of the Mine Commissioners—the researches of the Secretary of the Poor-law Commission—the sta tistical inquiries of scores of intelligent gentle men, all converge to one point, and show a great mass of persons living in Great Britain . in close and daily communication with one another, almostcut of from all sympathy with the classes above them, andhaving for the staple of their converse their own misery and suffering, and the hardships and op pressions they endure from those above them. It is the existence everywhere in society of great masses of men so circumstanced—with no respect for the law, with a dislike of their superiors, living in the world, as it .iS said,' without Gem—though they have an abundance of priests—and liable to be influenced by the:iaiellinations of ambitious • demagogues to their owii purposes, which makes the social insurrection in the North, .though it may, piThaps, be easily put down at present by the strong hand, a subject . to us Of niolnentous importance. It is not to be trifled With; nor can it be effectually cured by communication with/ the Horse Guards, or by any irecedent to be found on that file which Sir IL PEEL will, probably, exclusively consult. He, and the great majority of the middle classes, rely on the law, and follow its commands ; but when he and they persisted in divorcing the law from justice, they robbed it of more than half its power. Of itser, the law is a mere piece of spoiled parch ment, and it owes its vitality to public opinion. NOw, there is one great branch of the law peculiarly affecting. the districts and the population at present distu;•bed, -which has been—whether justly or not is besi'?. , > the present question—denounced by a great num - 'her 07 the middle classes, by intelligent ministers of religion,:hy the great body of the - Press, as an iniquitous law. It has been held up in sermons, pam phlets; newspapers, and speeches, as equally a violation of .the.aevealed commands of GOD and natural justice. A ~. deepirupression has been made on the public mind, and law . in that instance, has become synonymous with .rn:Wice. To be effective it should be supported by the ,intellgent people as well as the Ministers and the army ; but throughout the districts where the dis eturbance prevails, the law is considered to be the 'cause of distress, of discontent, and of insurrection: ''There the' lily will be deprived of its power.

' eg reFiously deceived. !,qr, t T' t, secuig the "reliance which our, rulers and public writers still place on • this broken staff, we should be filled with despair, if we did not notice a striking symptom of change and coming improvement. The Press is taking the station which is due to it. Differing essen tially from the Writers in the Times, the Herald, - and the Post, we at the same time see with satisfaction that, casting off the trammels of party, or rather of factiOn, as The San has done before them, each of those journals is pursuing an independent course. They one and all refuse to be the tools of any statesman. Not one of them is a reelite. They think for themselves. That is a healthy symptom. They will soon get over caste prejudices, and prejudices of a by gone age, and look fearlessly at the present condition of society. They will seek a remedy in things not in words ; they will look to facts, not to precedents, to reason not prescription, which is only the reason of a more ignorant age. They will soon see, and soon lead the public to see, that our country cannot be successfully governed, by the sword, and they must; in common with all reflecting men, aid in_ putting down violence of all kinds, and in restoring, amongst the different classes, that love and respect li)r one another, and that confidence in the law, by making it just, without which England can not be either great or flourishing. We dare not hope for a speedy and happy conclusion to the pre sent difficulties, but we should wholly despair if it were not that the Press is casting off its party shackles, and is struggling to ascertain, freely and unfettered, what is really for the public welfare. As it is palpable that the greater part of the social phenomena, whether for good or evil, depend on the number of the people, Wand the relation they bear to the space at their command and the means of subsis tence, it is also palpable that those who undertake to limit and regulate the supply of food, must, at the 'same time, take measures for proportioning to that the amount of the population. We are not at all surprised, therefore, to find the landowners, who re striet the people to a limited space for obtaining their f 0 6 ,1, also taking measures. to prevent the increase of people. It is certainly more humane to prevent births, if they-.can, than cause deaths, and we there fore are' inclined to characterise as consistent thu following, circular, from Lord FRANCIS EGERTON'S head steward, which has been sent, says the Manchester Timex, to the tenants on the Bridge water estate : " Worsley ' July 30th, 1842. " The evils which an over-crowded population entails upon the poorer classes of society make it necessary to consider in what manner this may, with the most ease, and with the least interference with their comforts, be diminished gradually, and finally removed alto gether. There can be no doubt that early and ill considered marriages between very young persons is one great. cause of these evils. Marriages contracted without forethought, and without any consideration as so the means of future support and maintenance of children. Such marriages should be discouraged for the sake of the individuals themselves, as well as for that of their parents and neighbours. Such marriages, receive great encouragement upon the Bridgewater Estate, from the parties being permitted to reside in their parents' dwellings after marriage, thereby producing other serious evils and inconvenience. It is. titrefore, hereby intimated, that after the Ist day of Ot;:ober next, no cottage tenant shall permit any newly married son or (laughter to 'take up their residence in their house, without leave in writing from Mr. Fereday Smith, er Mr. Robert Lansdale, as the case may be, 'or the tenant himself will be put under notice. Mr..Lans dale will fill up any cottage now vacant from those cot sages which contain more than one family, taking great care that the vacancy thus made shall not be filled up by an extra family or lodger. JAMES LOCH." The gentlemen of England must either watch over the breeding of the people as they do the breeding of their cattle, or they must abstain from meddling with their food and trade. We cannot think that they will find any encouragement to do this in the state of society, as in Russia, in parts of Sweden, and parts of Germany where such a principle has been acted on. Society in those countries is not so energetic, civilized, and moral, that the gentlemen of England can look for any great reward for taking on themselves this extra ordinary trouble. It is no doubt a vast, if not a noble ambition, to regulate the number of people within any given space, and, by a nice adaptation of mouths to food, promote the improvement of mankind ; but remembering how Lancashire was peopled a century ago, and that no perso*earned of its present popula tion, we infer that for ch ambition to be wise it re-1 quircs that it be directed by the prescience of a God. The important decision given by the House of Lords in the Auchterarder case, has set at rest the main question, which has agitated the Church of Scotland for the last seven years. Even the dominant party must admit that there is no alternative now but to obey the law. The question had received the most deliberate consideration in the Supreme Law Court of Scotland, and a unanimous judgment was given against the defendants. It had been twice argued in the House of Lords ; counsel, well acquainted with all the merits of the case, were heard for several days ; and four of the most eminent lawyers of the day, Lord LyNnutaisT, Lord BaouGuAm, Lord COTTEN HAM, and Lord CAMPBELL, also came to a unanimous decision that the Presbytery, or, rather, the General Assembly, for the majority of the Presbytery acted under its sanction, had wilfully disobeyed the law of the land, and must take the con sequences. There was no political feeling to sway the minds of the Judges in this case, as, fortunately, they belonged to both parties in the State—nay, the majority of them were Whigs, a class of politicians naturally disposed to view the claims of the people in a favourable light, and for more than a century al most identified with that portion of the Scotch Church which has from its commencement been opposed to patronage. In addition to these facts, the appellants cannot now have recourse to any higher authority than the Supreme Court of Law, as well as equity, the House of Lords, for by appealing to that Court from the Court of Session, they at once admitted its authority, and if they are not utterly destitute of common sense as well as common honesty, must abide by its decision. We cannot, therefore, conceive any judgment more enti tled to respect, whether we consider the long and solani deliberation on which it was founded, the ability and honesty of the Judges, or the voluntary appeal of the parties themselves to the highest tri bunal of the country. The next step will Fe to remit the case to the Court below, which, of course, will send it before a Jury for the assessment of damages; and however much Mr. YOUNG, the presentee, may have suffered, both as regards his pecuniary interest, his public character, and his long exclusion from the sacred office of the ministry, we believe nothing like vindictive damages will be required. He has gained a peaceful victory, and, if found duly qualified, will be at once admitted into the bosom of the Church. It cannot be denied that that portion of the Church to which he belongs, have, during - the whole of this unseemly contest, displayed great moderation, that they have ever yielded respect and obedience to the Ecclesiastical Courts, when act ing in conformity with the principles of that law from which the Church of Scotland derives its existence ; and that there is every probability when they have acquired their rights, they will use them with moderation and Christian charity. The other party, we trust, will act in the same spirit. They cannot fail to see the vast injury they have done, not only to the Church, but to the cause of religion in Scotland. They cannot carry on the contest with any hope of success against' law and justice, and, we may add, against the repeatedly eX pressed opinions of both Houses of Parliament ; and if. they wish, as they pray, for the peace of Zion, they will imitate the example of their great Master, sub mit to the powers that be, and dwell with their bre thren in unity. This would give unmingled satisfac tion to the true friends of the Presbyterian Church. We have taken great interest in this affair from the commencement, and have invariably opposed the Veto Act, because we saw •it was impracticable, and calculated to throw into confusion the most beautiful and useful Church establishment ever known in Christendom. We opposed it from our respect and attachment to that Church, and the endless (Hsi sioni, it - has -caused ; the depositions of venerable clergymen to an extent. hitherto unknown, and the complete anarchy which now prevails in every Kirk Session*, Presbytery - and Synod, bear ample and me•:, lancholy testimony to the sincerity with which ire denounced the dangerous scheme of Lord Moisenitrr and Dr. CIIAIALRB,. ,We trust they will learn wis dom by experience, ; and . now endeavour to m a k e atonement 'for their errors, and heal the breach which has caused such distress to the religious pwple of Scotland. From the Iffiest advices from the Mining and manu facturing districts, we gather that the disturbances still continue to spread—and to spread with a speed, and to an extent, that demand the utmost prompti tude and energy on the part of Government. r This vigour, ranch to their praise be it said, Ministers seem actively bent on exerting; and we are not without strong hopes, therefore, notwithstanding present appearances in the , disturbed districts, that their exertions will be crowned with success. As regards those misguided operatives who still persevere in th :ir lawless and tumultuous pro ceedings, we would exhort them seriously to pause and consider whether they are not, by their intemperate course of conduct, removing themselves still further than ever from the chance of obtaining redress of their grievances, and perilling the cause which they profess to have so much at heart. If they imagine that, by their present exhibitions, they are displaying their for midable strength, we can assure them that they are wholly in error ; for they are showing rather what they cannot do, than what they can do. They have power and they have influence, and they can make that power and that influence felt in the Legislature (notwithstanding the vast number of monopolists there arrayed against them) so long as they maintain a firm and peaceable demeanour; but the instant they abandon this pru denEial line of conduct, and have recourse, as at pre sent, to illegal acts, their influence diminishes ; they multiply enemies, and compel those to stand aloof; who would fain be their most active friends and sup porters. The report now goes that they are agi tating for the Charter. Do they hope to gain that Charter by showing, to the satisfaction of all parties, how unfit they are to be entrusted with fur ther lower? To obtain just privileges, by ha% lug recourse tci unjust acts? We conjure them to weigh well their present position, and more especially to consider what a blight they are' casting over their prospects—what misery they are heaping up for them seive, and those who are dependent on them, by the ill-judged course they are now pursuing. We have received the whole of-the Trench. Papers. They state that some s had taken place in the Bureaux on the Regency in general it firids fa vour, even with M. TRIERS. M. ODILLON BARROT also will vote for it as it has been propOsed by the Mi nisters. It was, however, still reported that some De puties, and M. DE LA MARTINE is mentioned as one, would endeavour to substitute the name of the thichess of ORLEANS for that of the Duke de NEMOURS. Such an attempt can only cause a little . irritation, and must end in the disappointment of the ambitious poet, who is quite misplaced as a politician. Both on Friday and gaturday:there was aconsider able fall in the price of Spanish, on the Paris Ex change, in consequence, as it is said, of the increasing difficulties of the Spanish Treasury. The Journal des Debats discusses, at considerable length, the failure of our West India Mail Packet Company, and indulges a hope that a French Coin pany, which is about to be formed for a similar pur pose, will succeed. The Parisian Journalist is obviously very ignorant of the cause of failure - here, and if he knew it, he Fould find in it no discouragement for the French undertaking. We see no reason why both the French and the English Companies may not ultimately succeed. The following are brief extracts PARIS, AUG. 13.—A letter from Carraccas of June 11 anno , inees the death of M. de la Falun, Consul-General and Charge d'Affaires of France to the Republic of Cen tral America.- lie died at La Guayra, where be was to have embarked for Europe. A cotton-factory at Fontaine Guerard (Seine Infe rieure), belonging M. Levavasseur, was burnt down on Tuesday night. The loss is estimated at 400,000 francs. Tile building was not insured. " A fire broke out on the 3d instant in the presbytery of the village of Aresches, near Satins, and in an hour ten houses were burnt down. The loss is estimated at 80,000 francs. A letter from Madrid of the 6th instant says :—" The Government is now engaged in the organisation of the Custom-house officers as military bodies. This project is attributed to General Rodil, who in the time of Ferdinand VII. was Inspector-General of the corr. of Custom-house officers, organised as military, by the name of carbineers of the coasts and the frontiers. The commercial treaty between England and Portugal has caused a great sensation in SFain. It is_ feared that smuggling will daily increase.

SIR ROBERT PEEL SUNDAY EVFNING, AUGUST 14, 1842. Stu RonEßT,—While out this evening, I acciden tally passed a portion of the Birmingham Railway, where, observing an unusual number of people looking over the wall, I inquired the reason, and had for answer, " The soldiers are coming." I stopped with the others to see " the soldiers." In a few minutes a noise was heard somewhat between a rumble and a rattle. The train slowly approached—it had, not fairly started. Some of the poor soldiers had their caps out, attempting to cheer. Oh ! it was a miser able attempt !! In what manner, think you, Sir Robert, were your helpless minions received I was attentively watching. The male spectators hissed and spit at them ' • the females were in tears ; on e o f th e latter turned to me, and sobbingly said, " They are going to shoot the poor starving weavers ; but they can't help it, they must go, it's all Peel's fault." When the train and the excitement had passed, all seemed to concur in the idea that the soldiers were not in fault, but that the blame and the blood would rest at the door of the man to whom the emolument of office was as nothing, the man who was con t en t to "do the state some service," having in return the hallow of an " honest fame." God Forbid that ever I should have such honest fame attached to my name. Honest!!! Here is a specimen of yotir honesty. I give you, Sir, a statement of the rental of two or three farms, taken at random from a list which de notes the action in a national view. The farms here alluded to were all let in 1841, and are situated in the parishes of Dunse, Fogo, and Chirnside, county of I3erwick. Previous Re;dtal. Rental in 1341 . First Farm £1,40 2. 14 8 £2,006 14 0 Second 1,,r , J00 0 0 1,350 0 0 Third 1,660 0 0 2,000 0 0 Total Total increase £ 1,393 19 4 Here, Sir, we have an increase of upwards of X 1,393 utich m a y b e by in the rental of th ree farms alone, taken as a fai r average o f the rise throu g h ou t t h e United Kingdom. Thi s I cod prove man examples ; the farms of the buke of Allftlborough in Wiltshire for one ; but you are aware of the fact. Now, Sir'Robert, I ask yau, from whence - is thiS enhancement of rental derived ? I pay to the baker and butcher 3s. per tcce'k more than I should have to do were•the foal not withheld by you ; the baker and butcher pay this 3S. per .week to the rearers of corn and cattle; the rearers of cern and cattle then pay it over to you, and such as you, as a portion of the 1,3931. advanced , rental. Remember, however, Sir Robert, while you constrain me to pay this 3s. per week extra, you not only violate my only pro perty (labour), but vou pre ve nt my w if e from buying many a gown and frock - for herself and my dear children ; those gowns and frocks riot being bought, spinners and weavers starve, they cry for bread, and you send them soldiers by the Birmingham Railway. Sum this up. Filch from such as myself who are helpless, 3s. pey week, stop the demand for cotton ! &c, starve the spinners and weavers ; render them desperate, slaughter them, and all fur " honest fame.". . -Most respectfully, A •.FIN,MAt 1 1 14: WORKER.

Although the prices have de clined consequent upon the accounts from the north, still, from the small fluctuation, and the absence of any large ope-ations, it may be inferred that no great degree of apprehension exists of the results, whaa the mercan lid men deeply regret the circumstances which must necessarily occur before tranquillity be completely re stored.

This has been the day for settling time bargains in those do cuments, but as transactions have been at an end since the withdrawal of the capital created by the forged Ex chequer Bills, it has not caused the slightest sensation.

The letters received this morning are more satisfactory, and especially frcm Manchester Although much ex citement prevailed, still less fear of serious consequences is exhibited, inasmuch as it is believed that the workmen themselves are inimical to the movement, and are acting only from pressure from others. Two mills had been kept going, protected. only by their own artizans, and it was expected that others, this morning, would folloW the example ; business, however, was wholly suspended.

It would appear that Santa Anna was aiming at being appointed Dictator, and to ef fect this was endeavouring to gain over the support of the army.- The form of a new Constitution had been laid before Congress, which it was supposed would ma terially assist the plans of the President. Business con tinued to be very dull, arising partly from p litical causes, and partly from the uncertainty of the relations between Mexico and Texas. A further remittance of 100,000 dollars is received by this vessel. Intelligence from Rio Jeneiro to the 19th June has come to hand. The improvement in trade, noticed by the two last arri‘als continued, but the amendment was slow. The crop of new coffee was being brought rapidly into the market, and as eagerly taken off at rates . - ' ',cis had caused a griis.lor demand for manufactured goods, some parcels of which had also been taken on speculation on account of the low prices. A diminution, small however, had taken place in the stock, but the rates quoted are apparently far below re munerative. The disturbed state of politics had increased; the insurrection in the provinces of St. Paul having ex tended itself into those surrounding it, Government were taking energetic measures for putting a stop to it, but much dissatisfaction was visible ; and the mercantile let ters speak of it as likely to become of serious consequence.

The crop of sugar had not proved to be near so great as had been expected, consequently some commercial embarrassment had been experienced.

BERLIN, AUG. I.—II is said that h►s Majesty the King of Prussia during his visit to the Russian court, only once honoured the city- of St. Petersburgh with hs presence, and then stopped but for a few hours. Various conjectures, which, however, are not suited for publicity; are made on the subject. It is said that the interest manifested by the northern capital in the joyful celebration of the 25th anni versary of the marriage of its august sovereign, by no means answers the expectations that were en tertained. The cause is alleged to be the discon tent of the Russian nobles who are displeased that the humane Emperor endeavours more and more to civilise his people, because the .despotic power which they have hitherto exercised over their vassals is thereby diminished.—Ditfield Gazette. CASSEL, AUGUST 3.—The Commission of the navi gation of the Weser is to meet this year at Carlshafen. Deputies take part in the Conference from Prussia, llanover, Hesse, Cassel, Oldenburg, Lippe, Detmold, and Bremen. The Commissioners do not seem to expect much from the Conference. The expense of improving the navigation of the Weser would be very great on account of the number of shallow places which would have to be dispersed, .and this is the great obstacle to be overcome. HANOVER, AUGUST B.—The King again left the capital this morning at eleven o'clock to pass some days at Celle. lIAMBURGII, AUG. 11.—DUTY ON COTTON TWIST. —The Prussian State Gazette contains a remarkable article on the wishes of some cotton-spinners to raise the import deity. on English twist. The writer ob serves that the very same complaint was made, and the same r.medy proposed ten years ago ; that a Com mssion was appointed, to which the following ques tion was proposed :.—" Can the cotton yarn manufac .tories flourish and increase with the duty now levied on the importation of Ibreign twist.?" The answer of the Commission was, "No, they cannot exist with the present duty ; an increase of them is not to be thought of, as experience has proved." The duty has not been augmented ; and if this measure had ✓ been well founded, there should now, after a lapse of eight years, be no increase of their establishments in our country. Instead of this, we find that they are doubled—nay, that the increase took place at the very time (1835 and 1836) when all prospect of higher protection was taken from them, for some considerable time at least ; that this increase was effected by extremely costly establishments, partly by the same men, experienced and grown Old in their business, who delivered and signed the above answer, and now repeat the same complaint. All th€se con tradictions are to be acepttnted for by the fluctuations in the cotton manufactures of Great Britain, and the great difference in the price of raw cotton and those of yarn.. The writer adduces various arguments to show that a duty 'sufficiently high wholly to render ineffectual the influence of England would inevitably ruin the cotton manufacturers, and that nothing could justify so dangerous an experiment, of risking important existing establishments which have proved beneficial to the • proAperity of the c6untry, in order to support others far less. important, and which besides could not exist without the fimmer. So far as is known the very great majority of the commercial authorities in the Prussian State, that have been consulted on this question, have declared against the augmentation of the import duty on twist.

The following is a portion of a letter, giving an exact account of the expense and produce of simewhat less than two acres of land in the south of Ireland. It points out what improvements may be made in that country by adopting a new system of agriculture : " 1841-1)r. Potatoe crop. " Second Month, February : £ s. d.

Thus, ft;fio, confining our agrieulture to corn crops, driving our population to starvation or emigration, whereas an improved system would give employment to five times as many labourers, prolreiter abundance of food for them, encreasingly enrich them, and would enable them to consume a greatly increased quantity of manufactured goods. To accomplish this, the importance of a national education, embracing floricultnral and mechanical instruction, will readily be perceived , "In conclusion. I may add, as my own conviction from my o bservations this year, that whether the Corn-l aws ' be repealed or not, the farmers of this country will • change their system, with difficulty,ahowever, from igno— rance and want of capital. The tenant of the farm on which I was born, of 200 acres—about three years ago had two-thirds of it under corn, the other one-third waste and pasture- s --this year, not one-third corn, twenty acres of cloYer, about eight of turnips, a large quantity of potatoes. and a greatly increased doing. In a ride through the western and poor part of the county Clare, I observed very little corn ; and on asking the people why it was so, they said that they had found it to fail and disappoint then) so much for the last three or.four years, that they were turning their attention to cattle feeding, and are planting much more potatoes, cabbage; &c., for feeding- pigs and cows.—Thy assured esiend, " BENJAMIN C.

Ten days cf glorious sunshile have dcrie more to forward the harvest than we ever remember.• By the close of this week so considerable a portion of the wheat will be stacked in Norfolk, that. little will re main, except on the coast. We are happy also to • find that opinion with respect to that abundance of the crop rises. It seems now to l:e thought to. be a full average. The barley crop is very large, and the second clover wonderful.--Norwich Mercury. LYNN.—Throughout the whole of West Norfolk, harvest is now progressing - with great rapidity, and should the weather during the week continue fiwour able, much wheat, and -a considerable quantity of barley and oats will be carted. The new wheats ap pear, for the most part, to be of good quality, and promise to be of greater weight, upon the average, than the wheats of the last harvest. Though in some places the wheat is rather thin of plant, yet this seems, in many instances, to be nearly compensated by - the size and weight of the e ars. In th e Uplands of West Norfolk, the wheat is, perhaps, upon the Whole, better than in the Marshland district, and in many of those fields the wheat is backward, and will scarcely be fit to cut in a fortnight from this time. The barley crop in West NoColk promises generally to be good, as does also the .oat crop, and the beans and peas have a very fair appearance.—Cambridge The long-continued delightful weather has pre pared .the grain for the sickle generally throughout this neighbourhood ; much has already been gathered in, and the remainder is in a forward state. . The crops on the whole may be considered favourable— rather thin in ground, but good in the ear. By way of caution to gleaners we mention all act of dis honesty by an individual of this town, who was de tected in carrying away three sheaves from the field, the property of Mr. D. Rutter ; he is now in custody awaiting the course of justice.—Somerset Paper. The harvest is going on very rapidly, and if the fine woather holds a few days longer most of the wheat will be cut in this neighbourhood. The crops are quite an average. Barley is also excellent, wtile the beans are looking luxuriant, and turnips are favourably progressing.—Cambridge TILE WEATIIER AND THE Caors.—We continue to enjoy excellent weather for ripening the crops, and we are glad to say that, in every district of Aberdeen shire, there is the prospect of an early and abundant harvest. In Buchan, the crop of oats and barley is rather light, having suffered a good deal from the grub ; but, in jthe upper districts, they have mostly escaped the ravages of this destructive insect, and pre sent, in general, a most healthy appearance.—Aberdeen Herald. THE HARVEST.—The splendid weather which we have had during the last month still continues. In this neighbourhood several fields of oats were cut last tveek, and many have since fallen before the reaper. Here and there wheat has been cut ; hut, generally speaking, it requires another week or fortnight's ripen ing to fit it for the sickle. A friend, who has lately traversed several parts of the southern division of the county, speaks of the general appearance of the crops i.s most promising, though thin in places, the pasture lands presenting almost the only exception.—Leeds Times. The wheat harvest in the neighbour hood of Aber gavenny is become pretty general, and the song of praise will be heard amongst our agriculturists for the bountiful harvest, and genial weather.—Monmouth shire Merlin. 'I he hop-grounds around this town and the neigh bourhood present a very rich and beautiful appear ance. The bines are literally festooned with blossom, whilst the plantations have been less liable to aphides this year than has been the case for many years past. The crops look well, and now the picking season is at hand, the harvest will prove the means of affording remunerating employment to many industrious fami lies.---Hampshire Chronicle. . . THE MayEsT.—Reaping in this country, is now general, and farmers are looking forward with much anxiety, as we have had some heavy rain during the week. All accounts agree that the crops, generally speaking, are good, though in some situations com plaints are made that the plant is thin. —Cambrian. ANALYSIS OF A TIiAGEDY. One night the celebrated singer Martin was to come to a supper. All the guests were already assembled. Each prepared to do honour to the Amphitryon and to his cook, a virtuoso as distinguished in his way as Martin was in his profession. .The new Vatel would have been capable of running his larding pin through his body, if a magnificent trout of the lake of Ge nera, which had arrived thatlvery morning in all its freshness, had suffered, by a delay of three minutes, the slightest damage in the perfection of its seasoning. At' length the door opened. It was Ellavion's rival, the Marquis de Tulipano, Pieol'os, in short, Martin in person. A half exclamation which meant enfin voila!! saluted his entry. 'The company forthwith proceeded to the supper room, and all sat down to table. " You must excuse me,"' said Martin, with a serious look, whilst unfolding his napkin, " if I have made you wait a little. I have just witnessed so strange, so terrible an occurrence....i....Who would be lieve that in the very heart of Paris such things can take Place ! What demoralization ! What are we come to ! Good Heavens ! lam still (Fite shoeked at it, and cannot recover niy composure. ' " What is it ? What is sit ?" exclaimed the guests with eagerness. " I'll tell you in a few words what has happened : a man of a certain age, but still vigorous, enjoying s handsome fortune, and a very honourable station, had married a second wife, young, and of a fiery and exalte temper. I must premise that the gentleman had by his first wife a son—a very handsome youth, modest, reserved, contracting no debts. indulging no frolics; in short, a youth such as is seldom to be met with in our corrupt times." " Go on." " Well, then, it came to pass that the step-mother conceived for her step-son a most violent passion ! Her husband was travelling on important business: She availed herself of his absence to make a declara tion to the youth of' her unlawful love. The honest fellow was petrified when he heard it, and received it as honour and morality , commanded him to do." " He was quite right. ' " Seeing herself repulsed and disdained, you may imagine what the lady's confusion was. A knave of a maid-servant, in order to prevent or avert the con sequences of a disclosure, advised her mistress to accuse the youth of having insulted her by a declara tion precisely similar to the one she had suffered to escape her lips." " This is becoming very serious," said one of the guests ' • every foot was motionless, and attention general. " This infamous stratagem," continued Martin, " gave, indeed, some scruples to the lady. The wretch of a maid took upon herself the execution of it. The , master of the house having returned, she told him her - Odious story, which the guilty wife confirmed by her silence. As you may well suppose the father's anger was terrible. In vain did the innocent son strive to justify - himself by adducing the most persuasive argu ments ; the exasperated father would listen to nothing- He banished his son from his presence, and the un happy youth entered a vehicle in order to quit his father's 'place of residence for ever. But a friend of the father, in order togratify his resentment, had had the dia bolical idea of a method of contriving to frighten the horses on the road. They made off with the vehicle, which was upset and shattered, and the poor youth was killed on the spot. On this intelligence reaching her, the guilty step-mother destroyed herself, after con fessing her crime. " Good heavens! what a catastrophe !" cried the company, " why it's quite a tragedy. " " I don't say the contrary." And has this just taken place ?" " This very evening, in the presence of twelve or fifteen hundred persons, who were content to look on, without one of them thinking of fetching the police to prevent such a denouement, or of procuring sugical as sistance." "This is another instance," cried the company, " of Parisian batimderie, to which everything is a mere sight. But this is really too much. What indiffer ence! But where has this fearful event occurred ?" " Just at the end of Rue - Richelieu in a large house with arcades." " What, at the Theatre Francais ?" " Precisely," said Martin. " Mademoiselle Duc.hes nois has this evening played Racine's Phedre, an ;wa lysis of which you Lave just heard." A general explosion of laughter followed. I'he forks which had remained in suspense resumed tht iir activity, and the health of the 'departed step-son a] xi step-Mother were drunk together, with that of the witness of their tragic deaths.—Purls Print.
