LOVE AND JEALOUSY. i Some alarm was last evening created in the.neighbour hood of Walworth, in consequence of a rumour to the effect that a young man, in the employ of Mr. Meadows, of the Duke of Suffolk Tavern, Brandon-street, \Val worth, as potman, had murdered his,ellow•servant, and afterwards committed suicide by hanging himself. From inquiries made on the spot this morning, it ap pears that, last evening, about six o'clock, the young man, named Joseph Hart, suddenly seized a young female, named Elizabeth Bird (his fellow-servant), round the neck, and, pressing his thumbs on her windpipe with great violence, attempted to strangle her. Having appa rently effected his object, he left the girl and ran into the skittle-ground at the back of the house, and delibe rately hanged himself with a rope to one of the beams. At this time the barmaid, Miss Thompson (who had previously seen him with a rope in his band), missing Hart, had her suspicions aroused, and accordingly went in search of him, and found him in the skittle ground suspended from the beam, apparently quite . dead. Miss Thompson, with great presence of mind, immediately cut him down, and raising an alarm he was ultimately recovered, and conveyed to the police station, on the double charge of attempting to murder the girl and destroy his own life. Hart, it seems, had, for some time past, been paying his addresses to the girl, and had always treated her with the greatest affection, but she, however, did not appear to reciprocate his feel ings ; and at the time he made the attack he said, " Well, Betsy, do you mean to have me or Bill ?" and she replied, " Oh, if I have any one, I shall have Bill." This morning Hart, having sufEciently recovered, was brought before the Hon. C. G. Norton, at Lambeth Police Court, and was remanded. THE SUNDAY CLOSING ACT AND THE. LICENSED VICTUALLERS. Yesterday a meeting of licensed victuallers was held at the King's Arms, Oki Kent•road, for the purpose of promoting the movement at present on foot to obtain a repeal of the act of last session, for the better regulation of the sale of beer. The chair was occupied by Mr. Wallace ' of the Glou cester Tavern, Sloane-street, who l amen t e d the necessity of the meeting, and strongly condemned the conduct of the Protection Society and the newspaper of the trade in reference to the act itself and the agitation to which it has given rise. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Messrs. Tuckers, Byers, Grimes, Hexall, Simes, Wells, and Bar row, to the same effect, and in general condemnation of the act, as well on account of their own private interests as on public grounds. Resolutions were agreed to, pledging the meeting_ to the furtherance of the movement, and thanking the pfess for its support. Mr. Harris - then announced that there was a prospect of an amalgamation being effected between the Metropo litan and Suburban Protection Society and the Defence Association, and stated that he expected before Thurs day next the members of the latter would exceed 300. A. vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the iro ceedinga. Loss OF Ms SHIP ABERGICLDIE.—The ship Aber geldie, Brook, which foundered in the Gaspar Straits on the 17th of June, was bound for Hong Kong. It appears she left London on the 15th of last March with a cargo of lead, sheathing copper, and Manchester goods. On June 17, just as the evening was setting in, with a slight breeze abeam, she struck on a reef, about a mills and a half off the north end of Palo Leal, in the Gaspar Sea, and hung, making water. Soundings abaft gave three and a half fathoms ; amidships two fathoms. The whole of the chain cables and seine cargo were hoisted out of the forehold, and taken right aft, with a hope of lightening the ship foi ward sufficiently to allow of her slipping off ; but all efforts to effect this were unavailing, and on sounding the well six feet of water was found at the pump.. As it was then evident that nothing could be done to save the ship, the boats were got out, and the next day the crew abandoned the ship, and were picked up by the Euphrates, for Bombay. They were afterwards transferred to the Challenger, 111 days from England, which landed them at Hong Kong on the 3d of July. TITE NEIV BANKRUPTCY ACT.—Yesterday a portion of the new Bankruptcy Act came into operation. Every declaration of insolvency to be filed on or after the Ist September is to be filed in the office of the Chief Registrar in London, and in the country districts with the regis trars. The registrars are to forward copies to the Chief Registrar. On and after the Ist Sept. a trader may peti tion for an adjudication of bankruptcy against himself, and unless before adjudication he can make it appear that he has an available estate to at least 1501., his petition shall be dismissed and no further petition filed without permis sion granted. Hitherto the privilege was only (*ranted to persons who could pay their creditors at least ss. in the pound. The time for di , puting an adjudication in bank ruptcy is from yesterday extended to two calendar months instead of 21 days. On and after the Ist September, excepted articles to 201. in furniture, clothes, or imple ments, are to be allowed to bankrupts. The same are to be valued and the expenses paid out of the estate. An inventory of the remainder furniture is to be made, and the same is not to he sold without an order of a commissioner. This is a great boon to bankrupts. In case a bankrupt should be entitled to an allowance on his estate paying a certain dividend, his household fur niture is to be taken in lieu of money. The other por tion of the act relating to vacancies in the court and to matters connected with the administration of the law, took effect from the 11th August, when the act received the Royal assent. LORD LUCAN ON RAILWATS.--Previously to the Earl of Lucas's departure for the seat of war in the East, Lis Lordship addressed a lengthened letter to the President of the Board of Trade on the subject of the extension of railway communication to the county of Mayo. Discussing the advantages of such communi cation, the noble and gallant Earl observes :—" In a military point of view I cannot but look upon this proposed railway as of much importance to the United Kingdom, connecting, as it will, the military station at Athlone by direct and uninterrupted railway as well with the west and north of Ireland as with the several military stations at Tullamore, Naas, Newbridge, Limerick, Cork, Waterford, the Cove of Cork, and the other towns and ports on the Great Southern and Western Railway and its branches. On a matter of such importance I hope that the best evidence will be produced from the highest military authorities. I cannot think that a railway from the Midland Great Western Railway of Ireland at Streamstown to the Great Southern and Western Railway at Tullamore would constitute the proper junction between Athenry and Tullamore, as it would very much lengthen such junction, and involve the necessity of change of carriages or running powers over a small portion of another line of railway, which would be most inconvenient in the transmission of troops and stores, and dangerous to the public. Should a foreign army land at Killala, or that neithbourhood, as happened before, it would be in possession of the entire of those districts before an army could be sent to check them, but if this railway was made, detachments of military could be sent from the depot at Athlone as well as from Coils, Newbridge, Dublin, &c., to this district, before their landing could be completed. I am further decidedly of opinion, as well for military as for agricultural purposes, that Athlone should be the town at which the two railways should be united, situated as it is in the centre of Ireland, the head quarters of the district, one of the principal military posts, and the key of the River Shannon, between Deinster and Connaught ; and I am confirmed in this opinion by a reference to the journals of the House of Lords, where I find that the committee of that house strongly recommended that a junction should be formed of the two lines at Athlone at the earliest possible future period. In con clusion, I must add that, without having the lightest pri vate interest in this matter other than as a considerable lauded proprietor and one occupying himself and farming a very large proportion of his estates, that I can scarcely overrate the very great advantage I anticipate from this railway. In my opinion, no line could be sug gested offering a greater advantage. The terms of gua rantee are most fair and liberal, and I really believe that should the present opportunity be lost, the county of . Mayo can scarcely hope to secure railway communica tion at any early period on equally favourable terms. VIOLENT ATTACK ON A YOUNG LADY,- NEAR MATLOCK BATH.—On Tuesday morning last, as a young lady, the daughter of John Sellors, Esq., of Herbert Lodge, Bun sail, was proceeding from her father's house to Matlock Bath, in descending the hill through Matlock-wood, she observed a man coming from an adjacent path, who lowed her. Perceiving that he continued to walk close behind her, she stopped to allow him to pass. This he did, and lingering a little to avoid his further approach, she lost sight of him. On Miss Sellor's return from Matlock Bath, to her surprise and alarm she saw the man lyirigon the wall iu the saine . spot, apparently asleep. She hurried past, and walked very quickly across the fields homeward. To her horror, just as she reached a gate leading to the rope-walls, a short distance from her father's house, the fellow, who had taken a short cut by another road, sprang over the wall, and seized her violently round the neck. Miss Sellors struggled with him and screamed out, " Papa, papa " Mr. Sellors, who was reading in the breakfast parlour, fo r t una t e l y h ear d the outcry, and run*. ni n t gioign bean u l .g t a da found ßyrda belgienig‘"t h ge nyinaset :toscream, d h A a u le r g T. c h a sh t u e ee hfo i n etr sl b a os uisweget a d t t a rat f toff n e o o e f iso n chff e ri x impp t dur r : at o u h ng en y e r t r h r e a a v c in l i d b tno'f l in mOia g within hearing h e en d eavoured to throw him off his guard by aski ng hi m t h e way to Crainford.

ENGLISH PROPRIETORS IN CONNAUGHT.—We under stand that the extensive property situate in the county of Galway, belonging to James Lambert, Esq., of Gregg Clare, has been sold by him to Mr. Hope Scott, an English barrister, for the sum of 92,0001. Mr. Scott is married to Miss Lockhart, grand-daughter of the late Sir Walter Scott. Some two years since Mr. Scott and family, who were members of the Protestant church, withdrew from that religion, and embraced the doctrines of the Roman Catholic faith. We understand it is the intention of the new proprietor to reside at least for a considerable portion of each year on his newly acquired Irish property, and we trust that he will have every reason to be satisfied with the good conduct and indus trious habits of the tenantry.— Galway Packet.

DozwAsTrn, Ag 31 _.From all parts of Yorkshire we receive the most favourable accounts of the state of the grain crops, and of the extreme.hfineness of the weather for harvest operations. Rea become general in all the three RidingsP,uNheas now having ripened rapidly within the last few days and, cr o ps if there is no check with the weather, an immense P q tity of corn will be safely housed before the end of - n u e ; week. The yield and quality of the grain , more es next cially of wheat, are highly spoken of on almost eve P r hand, and there can be do doubt the present will prove y one of the most prolific harvests on record. The supply of field labourers was, a few days ago, adequate to the demand, but hands are now very scarce, and wages are in some instances rising. Perhaps there never was a greater body of labourers in the harvest-field at one time in this county than there is at the present moment, nearly every grower of grain having as full a staff at work as he can get. We hear only occasionally of the reaping machines being in operation, and the opinions expressed of their working are too few and meagre to form any conclusion thereupon. NOTTS.—The splendid weather which we have had for more than a week has enabled farmers to clear a great breadth of land, principally wheat. the condition and yield of which are very excellent. The crops generally are considered above an average, although there are some partial failures. The samples of new wheat are very good. Barley is, on the whole, fair; oats moderate. D ux , ing the last few days we have heard more of the potato disease. Turnips are looking beautiful, and this useful vegetable promises an excellent crop. Another week's fine weather will see most of the wheat cleared. SOMERSET.— The late fine weather has been of the ut most benefit to the crops, and all harvest operations are proceeding with the greatest activity in the corn-growing districts of this county. The wheat near Taunton is particulary good, and has been cut and the main por. tion carried. In the neighbourhood of Bridgewater the barley is excellent, and the yield is expected to be very good ; it is mostly cut, and in many cases secured. Oats *and beans are likewise in excellent condition. There is a much greater breadth of land under potatoes than last year, and they are in better condition, and, to all appearance, have n o t su ff ere d so muc h f rom the blight. The green crops are generally good, but the present fine harvest weather is unfavourable to the turnips, which require rain. H EAST LoTarasr.---During the first four days of las week the weather was exceedingly unsettled, and at times heavy showers occurred, accompanied by oold blustering gales. Harvest operations were consequently occasionally suspended. Friday and Saturday, however, proved charming days for ripeaing the later fields, as well as for cutting down those that were ready ; and, in the early districts, by the end of the week, a very large quantity of grain was to be seen in the stook ; and a small portion of wheat and barley was likewise carried to the stackyard. Sunday was decidedly the finest day that has occurred during the season, the thermometer having stood at 73 in the shade for several hours. Shearing became quite general in the higher parishes on Monday morning, and the weather continues delightful. Hands, however, are not so plentiful as last week, on account of large bands having taken their departure for Berwick shire and Northumberland, where wages generally range Ihigher than in the Lothians. Leading has been going on briskly yesterday and to-day, and already from 10 to 30 stacks are not uncommon on some early farms along the line of the North British Railway. There are under stood to be upwards of 20 of Bell's reaping-machines, brought out by Mr. Crosskiil, of Beverley, now at work in the county. Where the crop is standing and the surface level the work is admirably performed ; but in 1 those places where the grain is laid or materially twisted, the result is not so satisfactory. The machines, however, turned out this season are much improved, as compared with those formerly used ; the adoption of the serrated cutters being in every respect preferable to shears. The draught is also much reduced, and the working department altogether less liable to get oat of order ; and it may now be held as established that the reaping-machine (although not so perfect as could be desired) will now prove at least a valuable 'auxiliart on the generality of farms, more particularly in early sea• sons, when the crops are less luxuriant than in the pre. sent. As was expected, the wheat crop is cutting up somewhat unequally. On the early land around the margin of the coast, some light fields are to be seen, which are also indifferently filled ; but on all substantial land, including the strong clays, there is a fair bulk, and, what •is important, the heads are found to be sound, large, and heavy ; so that a full average crop, if not some thing better, is on the whole confidently expected. Bar. ley is undoubtedly one of the most abundant crops ever reaped, and is fully realising the high expectations that were formed of it when growing. Oats are in the most of instances a close gifty-looking crop, but not so uni formly to as barley, and should the weather remain favourable the quality is likely to be very superior. Beans have suffered latterly in the most of the cases from attaches of insects on the stalks and pods, which is cer tain to diminish the quantity as well as the quality of the produce. If the potato crop is judged by the appearance of the stems, many fields seem in the most hopeless con dition. Such, lid wever, in the most of cases, is not the yet almost entirely free of disea se , fact, as the roots are as except in gar dens, and partially in the fields, particul ar ly on soft land near . the coast. Should the ensuing month ble and dry, it is exceedingly prob a bl e prove tolerably eqti:,. that, as happened last season, it will be found that snore alarm has been felt in the ti:st instance than the ultimate damage sustained seemed to warrant. The common wage for shearers this week is understood to be 10s., with vic tuals.— Ldinburylt. Courant. FIFESIIIRE.—The harvest is now general in this dis trict,. and great progress has been made during the last few days in cutting down the various crops, the weather having been of the most favourable kind. The yield of the grain crops is spoken of favourably, and we are glad to learn that the potato disease is by no means so preva lent as was at one time anticipated. Here and there the taint has made its appearance, but the great bulk of the crop is yet is a sound condition.—Ftfeskire Journal. ASTLET'S.—A most successful burlesque has been pro. duced here, called The Siege of Troy. It is replete with wit, humour, and repartee, and is materially aided by the introduction of the splendid stud of horses which forms the nucleus of this theatre's attractions. COMMERCIAL DOCK COMPANY.—At a meeting of the Commercial Dock Company, held to day, the directors were authorised to raise a sum of 100,0001. to complete new works.
