MORNING EDITION. HARVEST PROSPECTS. The subjoined accounts received this morning from various parts of the country supply all the l a t es t intel ligence on the subject which is really wor th h av i ng . We could easily multiply the paragraphs ad infinilum, but we question much whether a more crowded and less carefully condensed collection would add materially to the stock of our reader's information. There is neces sarily some difference in the reports : on the whole we have no doubt they are to the full as favourable as the actual condition of the crops to which they refer justify. The unfavourable report from Ireland will be found in its proper place. In the neighbourhood of London the weather has been fine. On Sunday the glass reached 70 in the shade, and to-day we have equally beautiful weather. ENGLAND. }'or some days during the early part of this week, the weather being rainy and stormy, it was very unfa vourable for harvesting. On Wednesday morning we were visited by a sharp frost, rather unusual in August ; but a change to warm sunny weather has happily taken place, and the operations of the husbandman in our neighbourhood, in housing his abundant crops of corn, are now proceeding rapidly.—Dover Chronicle. ( The very unfavourable weather of last week excited the most gloomy fears with respect to the grain harvest, ar.d as a large breadth of wheat had been laid by the heavy rains, the farmer had no alternative but to com mence reaping without delay. Accordingly the sickle was everywhere put into activity, and the propitious weather of the who!e of this week, Monday only ex cepted, has cheered the hopes of the country. Some • wheat is certainly damaged ; comparatively a very small quantity has spurted ; should the sunshine con tinue, and the barometer is standing at " fair," we shall i yet have a large quantity of fine wheat. The L en t grains are heavy, an d the quality will be as good as the crop is large, should the harvest weather continue ge ? dal. In many places the turnips look uncommonly fine ; we have heard of partial failures, but there can be little doubt but that generally the green crops are iabove the average. The hay harvest is brought to a close this week ; " better late than never" is a proverb ) which the hay har:est has this year verified ; although many thousands of acres of grass in the !ow lands have either been uncut or their crops much damaged or en s - tirely spoiled, the fin e weat h er o f t h e expiring week has enabled the late mo wn cro p s ( an d t h ese are b y no ' means of narrow extent) to be " manufactured!" well, and there will be more good hay in store than we could have anticipated a fortnight ago. The hop-plants have grown luxuriantly, but the cold nights are very nth \ vourable to the maturing of the hop. In concluding this sketch of' the crops of Herefordshire, we can but lament that the orchards present a most destitute ap pearance, and when the farmer walks through his orchard, so " few and far between" arc his apples, he feels that the smallest donation of fruit will be most thankfully received.—Herefird Times. Notwithstanding the late rains, the prospects for the harvest in this neighbourhood are very good, and the re cent fine days 'nave caused great activity am ongst t h e 1 agriculturists.—Leiceatershire Mercury. 1 The wheat harvest, on early lands, will speedily be Ibrought to a close, and on th e b e tt er w h eat l an d s is 1 pro ceeding satisfactorily. Th e l as t ra i ns h ave certa i nly b een beneficial to the outstanding corn of eat ry description. 1 The grain is more even in quality, and will leave the straw with more facility ; at the same time it cannot be denied that blight, in a greater or less degree, had, pre vious to the late rain, affected the wheat to a serious ex tent in the greater portion of the county. As the sea is approached, the blight appears to be less, and in the Isle of Wight little or no complaint is made of it. The few samples of new wheat offering at the Corn Exchange on the last market day were small, uneven, and light in wi 01', r alising full 5s per quarter less than the same description of old wheat. Barley mowing has com menced, and a con s id era bl e quant i ty w i l l b e housed or 4 stacked next week, should the weather be favourable. The crop of the latter grain is believed to be a good and 1 full one, and oats may be noted in the same satisfactory 3 terms. Pulse of all descriptions are moderate crops. ). No direct failures from blight are to be found ; at the s :me time nothing more than average crops of beans, peas, or tares, can with confidence be quoted. Sainfoin and rye grass seeds have generally failed, nothing ap pro.:chiug to average crops of either being expected. Tr( foil is pretty good, and th e c l over h ea d s bi d fair for C seed. The flail has not yet been tested to any extent ; till then the anticipated deficiency in the wheat crop in t this county cannot to any certainty be calculated on. It ' is hoped and believed to be not to any considerable ex g tent, and that the spring crops will in some measure supply that deficiency. —Hampshire Chronicle. The tempest of Saturday last was experienced with much severity in parts of this and the adjacent counties. Irorcesterrhire Herald. The harvest is now fairly commenced in most of the I agricultural districts. Since Tuesday last, a truly de lightful change has taken place in the state of the weather. Instead of a continuance of the late heavy 1 rains, which dimmed the hopes of the cultivator of the soil, at.4l awakened serious apprehensions generally, a bright atmosphere, with heavy dews during the night, has happily prevailed ; and the sun has shone out with full warmth and brilliancy, with every indication of a continuance of the most auspicious weather. The pro gress which the respective crops have made in the course of the last few days is perfectly wonderful. Nor will the extent and amount of the injury, consequent upon the late heavy rains, be so serious as many had from appearances been - induced to anticipate.—Leeds 1 1 Times. For the last four or five days, the weather in this neighbourhood, has been very fine. Should it continue as favourable for a fortnight or three weeks longer, most of the grain, except that on the hills, will be housed in good condition. There has been a slight touch of frost on one or two nights this week, but we have not heard that it has done any damage to the pota toes, of which the crop this year gives good promise.— Bolton Free Press. Reaping has generally commenced at Sully, Gilston, St. Athan, and many other parishes on the Glamorgan shire coast. The crops are above an average. Many fields of grass still remain uncut. Considerable injury has, of course, been sustained, by the hay , but the other crops are most luxuriant. Oats are above an average, and wheat will be an ex tremely heavy crop, should the weather allow it to he favourably got in. Several patches of barley have been cut in different parts of the county, and although the harvest generally will be late, a month's fine weather will secure the principal part of the wheat and oats in this and the adjoining counties. Potatoes and turnips will also be good crops if we have a continuance of dry vt. eather.—Durlia tif Advertiser. The harv es t i s go i ng on very prosperously in our neighbourhood, and notwithstanding the quantities of rain we have had, the corn is very little laid ; we have every prospect of an abundant crop.—North Devon Advertiser. The hay has suffered material injury from the late wet and unseasonable weather, but should the present tine weather continue, there is every reason to antici pate a goad and plentiful corn harvest.—Hull Advertiser. The weather during the last rive days has been favourable to the operations of the husbandman, and a considerable quantity of corn has consequently been secured in this neighbourhood in excellent condition. The straw, we hear, turns out much better than had been anticipated.—Bristol Mercury. CARNARVON.—Notwithstandi ng the late unfavour able weather, we have every prospect of a more than average harvest. As far as our rambles have extended the wheat crop appears to be ripening fast, and to be pretty fill] in the ear. Our correspondents from more remote districts join with us in very flattering anticipa tions of a good harvest in all sorts of grain. —Herald. KENT. —Harvest in the immediate neighbourhood of Faversham has been very general this past week ; much corn has been safely garnered, and of excellent quality. Several of the farmers, fearful of the weather, have been found carrying the grain as late as ten o'clock at bight. At Sevenoaks the harvest is likely to be very productive, and several farmers have commenced. Hops also promise well, and perhaps may remunerate for the great loss of hay, which th© recent wet weather has occasioned. As much as sixty and seventy acres on some farms have been rendered totally useless. The crops in that part of the Weald of Kent from Tun4ridge to Edenbriclge are looking most favourable. Ite aPitg has been begun amongst the white wheats, and some few field s of red. Both white and red are ex tremely good. been in Barl e y, as i n every ot h er coun ty I h ave ,is very luxuriant. Oats are much better than any I hav e seen in counties London • indeed they ar e really fine, N.W.• • o eans, like all others I have seen elsewhere, are short. 1 will yield well, and certainlyins!,em, but beautifully podded, and ,r will not impoverish the land like large stem beans.

A few fine warm day s in would confer many blessings. The barley lyin g cut ,;,) seeds is becoming damaged by the rains, and if the un toward weather continues, the forthcoming clover w ill be injured unless the corn be continually moved.— Canlerbuiy Journal. LANcAsTER.—The operations of the husbandman, in gathering the fruits of the earth, which in the southern counties had become pretty general, have been much impeded by showery weather during the last seven days. Much grain has, notwithstanding, been carried, anda few very f orwar d samples have been brought to , market. Generally speaking, although the heavy wheat throughout the country was much laid by the storms of wind an d rain which 'prevailed a short time, , the greater Flit is IlLely to ripen, should the present continua. All accounts concur, that what is already cut is excel': nt as to quality and quantity. The bright sun and unclouded atmosphere of the last three days will soon set all to rights.—Guardian. LEWES.—The continued desirable and fine weather since our last has been extremely favourable to the bu siness of the harvest, and the farmers have taken the advantage of it by securing the greater portion of the wheat, which has been gathered in satisfactorily, and some few samples have, we understand, already ffen re d a i dy er ber e presented at the markets. There is still some of opinion as to the quantity of the crop ; many of the provincial papers, however, of the agricultural districts, speak favourably of it.—Advertiser. LEICESTER.—The crops have, within the last day or two, assumed, contrary to the expectations of many, the most gratifying appearance. The rather heavy showers in the latter part of last week and beginning of this, have done little comparative injury, and almost every where the oats and wheat are being cut. Between Leicester and Loughborough several fields of wheat ap pear to be ripe for the sickle, and such other descrip tions of bread corn as are not cut down, look luxu riant and abundant. Accounts from every quarter re present the crop as being about an average one. Since Wednesday, the weather has turned out most propi tious, and the farmers have accordingly taken advan tage of it.—Chronicle. LINCOLN.—We are most sorry to say that the heavy rains of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, have laid the wheat level with the ground in many places, and fears are eater:ain:d that these is very little chance of its recoverv:—Chroniele. NIALToN.—The weather for the last two or three weeks has been uncommonly wet, and unfavourable to getting in the hay harvest, the greater part of which still remains exposed in the neighbourhood of Melton, and it is to be feared great damage will be sustained in the same. All other kinds of crops stand greatly in need of warm dry weather, and should this take place, the harvest will commence generally in about a fort night's time.—Hull Rockingham. ROMSEY.—Some samples of new wheat were shown at our market on Thursday ; and Mr. Tanner, of Buckholt Farm, sold three loads at 171. per load.— Devizes Independent. STAFFORD.—The rain on Saturday and Sunday last was so heavy in this county as to cause the rivers to overflow their banks ; and the prospect, at the early part of the week, was particularly gloomy. On Wednesday, however, the weather became de cidedly finer ; no rain has fallen since that day. The fields are now filled with reapers ; and al though much grain must necessarily be injured, end the gathering in of the corn retarded, by the unfavourable weather which so long prevailed, yet the mischief done is not so serious but that a dry week or two and sunshine may in a great measure repair it. We sincerely trust that a kind Providence may yet grant propitious weather for the ripening and harvest ing of the fruits of the earth.—Advertiser. . WHITEHAVEN.--We have had some days of tolerably fine weather this week, but altogether the prospect is not so settled as to justify us in supposing that the serious injury which the wheat crops have sustained in this district will now be repaired. This injury, we are afraid, is wide-spread and decisive, and threatens the most grievous calamity to the poor farmers and to the commu nity at large. The crops of wheat look well to the eye of the passing traveller, but upon inspection and handling it is found, with regret and reluctance, that most of the heads] are half wasted, and that many con tain not a single pickle. The damage done is most lamentable, and cannot now be remedied. The other corn crops are in a much better state, and a fair average yield may be looked for. Potatoes and turnips never looked better at this period of the year than at present. —Herald. YORKSHIRE.—The last few days of glorious weather have effected a wonderful improvement in the appear ance of the crops in this county. Since Monday we have had no rain, and the ripening of the different kinds of grain has proceeded very fast under the warm rays of the sun. From the inquiries which we have made of parties well qualified to judge, and also from personal observation, we hope we may calculate on the crops being a full average, and in numerous instances the yield is said to be unprecedented. Where the sickle is al ready in operation, this statement is fully borne out. The hay harvest is nearly over, and considering the late wet weather, has been secured in fair condition.— Leeds Mercury. YORK.—We have experienced some heavy falls of rain since our last. A decided change for fine wea ther appears, however, to have set in, and should it hold out, as we have every hope it will, the crops in the neighbourhood of Hull will be secured in pretty fair condition. The harvest has commenced in the East Riding. On Tuesday the cutting of wheat had begun at Leconfield Parks, near Beverley, and at Etton a quantity was in stook. The haymakers are again busily plying the fork in fields which were cut when the rains compelled a suspension of operations.—Herald. A new variety of barley, named Providence Barley, is now ()Towing on a piece of land belonging to Mr. Samuel Barnes of Westbury. It is of a very prolific nature. One corn of it has this year produced 140 stalks, and the whole of the piece will fully average ball that number of stalks from all the corn sown. The continued rains last week not only retarded the wheat harvest throughout the country, but materially injured the crop ; a large quantity was laid, and we regret to hear that whilst blight and mildew are very prevalent, in some places the wheat is spurted ; the reaping is now very general, and in fact necessary, owing to the state of the grain, but we fear the produce will fall very short of what was at one time anticipated, and the quality on many farms also be inferior. The hop bines grow luxuriantly, but the present cold nights are against the probability of a large and fine produce. Genial warm weather would now be a great blessing to the country. Saturday the vicinity of this city was visited with heavy thunder storms.—Hereford Journal. WHITEHAVEN.--Mr. Bell, of the Globe inn, in Gos forth, cut an excellent field of barley on Thursday. The grain was very good, and all other kinds of farming produce will be more productive than was generally expected.--Herald. CARLILE.—At Stainton and the neighbourhood south-west of Penrith, the crops in general look very well, with the exception of potatoes, of whiuh the late planted ones look very indifferently, while those that were early planted are doing well. Turnips look mid dling—not quite so well as in some parts of the country. Wheat has a very good appearance so far, but should these Leavy rains continue, it is to be feared it will take hurt. The hay grass is much better than was antici pated in the spring.—lbid. IVESTMORELAND.—In the neighbourhood of Kendal several fields of barley appear to be nearly ripe for the sickle, and the other descriptions of bread-corn appear most luxuriant and abundant ; but the late heavy rains have laid a great quantity, and it is feared that unless fine weather is at hand much of the wheat will be spoiled. —lbid. ISLE OF MAN.—We are happy in being enabled to state that the accounts we have received of the condi tion of the crops throughout the island, with very few exceptions, are, on the whole, highly gratifying ; and should favourable weather continue for a few weeks, an abundant harvest will crown the labours of the husband man. The weather has been, for the last few days, and now is, delightfully auspicious, and if it continues so, will greatly accelerate the ripening crops.—Manx paper, Tuesday. LlNCOLN.—Harvest is now progressing in many dis tricts in the neighbourhood of Stamford, and although by no means a very abundant crop, is yet much better than was at one time anticipated. The wheat crops have ripened very genially, and in sonic districts towards the west, where injury was done to the corn by the storms of last month and June, they have partially re covered. An average crop may, we understand, be an ticipated throughout South Lincolnshire. RALIF.tx.--We have had a great improvement in the weather during the last few days, and the pros pects of the harvest, in this district, are much more favourable than they were.—Express. WALES.— Lamentable accounts have reached us from many parts of Wales, as to the violent and long continued rain during the last three weeks. In South Wales sheep and lambs have been destroyed by the rains and torrents, and in North Wales vast tracts of meadows are untouched by the scythe, or if mown, the produce is destroyed. Near the sea coast, at Aberyst with, Towyn, Aberdovy, and Barmouth, the hay is not gathered yet the grain is ripening, and the two harvests will be almost at the same time. HASTINGS HOPS.—The hops are looking well ; the poles are generally well covered with bine, and in several gardens which we have inspected, the hops hang as thick at the tops of the poles as we have ever wit nessed. Nothing but fine sunny weather appears now to be wanting to produce flavour and condition. Not a few of the poles in Messrs. Deudney's gardens ex hibit hops about an inch and a half in length.—Susse.r Paper. SCOTLAND. On Wednesday night there has here wsas niappesdtronsogmefroostf in this neighbourhood, which the crops.

By this shower a portion of the corn crop in the neighbourhood seems considerably 'eyed ' , but th e i n j ury is represented as very slight. Monday 'a rain seems to have been very partial. As the Tweed was not in the least swollen or discoloured, it may be supposed that very little fell in the western part of the district. Since Monday the weather has been fair, clear and sunny, but with the wind varying from north to east till this morning, when it went round to the south. wes t. The harvest may be said to have partially com menced in the district.—Berwick Advertiser. A crop of barley on a field at Anstruther Wester, belonging to Mr. Conolly, and a similar crop on a field at Anstruther Easter ; possessed by Mr. David Gas man, Were cut down last week. We learn from a gentleman resident in Orkney, that the weather there for the last fortnight has been highly favourable for the growing crops, and that their pro gress during that time has been remarkable. Oats and bere promise well, but fodder will be scarce, owing to the dry weather experinced during the earlier part of the season.—The North Isles herring fishing com menced on the 24th u lti mo , b ut w i t h lit t l e success until the week following, when there was an excellent fish ing. On the morning of the 31st, several boats delivered from twenty to forty crans; one curer on that day bad upwards of 600 crans delivered to him. IRELAND. It would still be premature to venture upon any cal culations as to the returns of the harvest, because the weather for the next week or two may produce the most important effects, both as regards the quantity and quality of the grain. The weather yesterday, for instance, being wet and warm, was considered very unfavourable to wheat in its present condition. Fine dry weather for the next fortnight is required to ripen that grain, and prepare it for the sickle. From the information that has reached us from various parts of this country, and balancing the accounts in order to arrive at something like a correct estimate, we are inclined to think that, even if we should be blessed with favourable weather, the wheat crop will be at least one-fourth short of an average. If the we a th er s h ou ld prove unfavour able, the deficiency would, of course, be much greater. Yesterday samples of wheat appeared at our Corn Exchange. The quality was ind;fferent : the price from 30s. to 355. per barrel. But this case can afford no correct illustration as to the general quality or price of the new crop. It tells for little, one way or another. A friend at Balbriggan, an extensive farmer, has favour ed us with five ears of wheat, taken from some fields in that district. They appear to have suffered greatly from smut, and we should suppose that the injury must have been done before the setting in of the late heavy rains. The ear is very light, and on one sde the grain seems to have been quite blighted. Our correspondent observes—" I think I may safely say, that there is not in Fingal a field or fields less injured than those from which these ears have been taken. I leave you to imagine the very great deficiency there must be in the yield, from the specimen you have now before you." With respect to oats, we are happy to state that all accounts are very favourable, and if there should be dry weather for reaping the crop will be abundant. A parcel of new oats, which appeared at the Corn Ex change yesterday, although the grain was soft, went as high as 16s. to 17s. per barrel.—Dublin Evening Post of Saturday. Coec—Close and heavy rain descended without a moment's intermission from ten o'clock yesterday morn ing until an early hour this morning, when it ceased. This day is fine, with high westerly breezes, and again there is a prospect of good weather.—Southern Reporter. NEWRY.—The weather for the last two days has been of a broken and satisfactory character. Mean time, the colour of the corn fields is slowly approaching to the " sear and yellow" of harvest. Complaints are pretty general, and we fear not without cause, relative to the wheat crop. Reaping has commenced, especially of oats and barley, in several of the earlier districts, and the result is stated to be satisfactory. The new potatoes are becoming quite plentiful, and the quality is unusually good. All we want is a few weeks of good dry weather, which we hope will yet be forthcoming.— Examiner. WATERFORD.--The weather has been delightful since Friday, and its wholesome influence is already apparent in the harvest work. We have been favoured by John Hackett, Esq., of Mount Prospect, with a sample of superior new wheat, which he expects to have in the market on Monday, and of which he anticipates a full average crop.—Chronicle. BELFAST.--On Wednesday a very fine sample of new potato oats (selected from a quantity sold in the Belfast market) was sent to our office. It was grown on the lands of Hugh Ferguson, Esq., Castlenavery, near Comber.—Northern Whig. QUEEN'S COUNTY..-.lt is satisfactory to find that the crops have not suffered so much as might have been expected from the late severe rains. A circuit of nearly a hundred miles through the Queen's County enables us to say, that should the favourable weather which has now set in, continue--even at the eleventh hour —the harvest will produce a fair average of every description of grain, as well as potatoes. Even the hay harvest cannot be considered so defective ; and as the after-grass will be abundant, the farmer will be repaid for any deficiency in early hay ; the high prices asked within the last fortnight cannot be obtained, and must be reduced. A gentleman who has travelled through a great portion of the King's county has kindly called at our office, and given us the follow ing notes of the result of his inquiry and personal in spection :—" Monday, August 10.--From Banagher to Shannon-bridge --crops heavy and in a state of perfec tion. Tuesday.—From Cloghan to Frankford—steaw ebort—grain good and withottLemut--reaping com menced. Thursday.--From Franliford to Rosenallis— no appearance of one side of ear being destroyed, as generally represented—stalks standing upright, and grain sound, but not expected to be fit fOr the sickle for two or three weeks—straw good length. Potatoes in general bespeak abundance."—Ltinste r Express. Since our last notice a most favourable change has taken place. The weather is now dry and sunny, the wind blowing from N.E. The harvest has generally commenced in our neighbourhood with every prospect of an abundant produce.—Tippperary Free Press of Wednesday. A happy change has taken place in the weather since Saturday, which continues extremely fine, the heat being occasionally excessive, accompanied with slight intermitting showers. We confidently trust that Providence may continue this for at least one fort night, as it would be of the greatest benefit to the country, and would tend to lowe r the prices of pro visions, which continue almost insupportably high. The crops in this neighbourhood present a ripening appear ance.—Galway Patriot. The weather, which up to Saturday last was very boisterous, has again changed for the better. We are now blessed with a genial sun, and with an occasional shower. The crops in the neighbourhood of this town seem not to have suffered any material injury from the late rains. From all parts of the country we have cheering news of the healthy state of the crops. Po tatoes are now coming more fairly to market, and the quality, although yet somewhat soft, is daily improving. Prices, however, continue the same as our last quota tion. This, as we before stated, is owing to forestallers being permitted to buy up the provisions as they come into the market.—Castlebar Telegraph. Just before going to press before last publication, our favourable opinion of the weather therein expressed was belied by a most woef u l c h ange . I t ra i ned inces santly until Saturday evening, when the sky once more cleared up, and a state of unsettled, but withal pleasant weather continued until Monday morning, since when nothing could be more propitious than the season. The crops have partially recovered from the ef fects of the late rains, and, on the whole, look well. The accounts from the other provinces are not very favourable. Potatoes sold in our market yesterday evening at 21-d. to 3d. per stone.—Derry Paper of Wednesday. Saturday the weather cleared up, continued fine ever since, and at this moment wears a very settled appear ance ; so that, under the Divine blessing, we trust all our apprehensions for the fate of the harvest will be dissipated by fair average crops. Indeed, after the wet and tempestuous weather we have just experienced, the accounts from the different parts of this county are more cheering than could have been anticipated.— We.rfor d Independent. After all, we trust, notwithstanding. the gloomy anti cipations naturally produced by the state of the weather for some time back, that we shall be agreeably disap pointed. Since Friday the weather has been most pro pitious and the harvest work is going cheerily on. The wheat in this neighbourhood will, on an overage, prove a good crop. W e have received a sample of wheat grown at Mount Prospect, near this city, on the lands of John Hackett, E.'sq., than which we would not desire to see better. 'We shall watch the markets on Monday, when it is expected new grain will be offered in considerable lots to purchasers.—lVate,ford Mail.

This was an indictment on the prosecution of the trustees of the Rochdale and Halifax road against the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company ; and the complaint was, that in throwing a bridge over the turn pike read at Littleborough they had interfered with the safety and convenience of the public.

This was an action to recover compensation in da mages for an injury sustained by the plaintiff on the rail way, in consequence, as was alleged, of the negligence of the defendants servants. Verdict for the plaintiff Damages 601. CROWS SIDE. THE CHARTISTS. This morning the Chartists implicated in the late proceedings at Manchester, Bolton, Ashton-under-Lyne, and other places in this county, were arraigned. Their number is great, amounting to seventy or eighty at least. On arraignment, four pleaded guilty, viz., two persons named Bardesley, Cox, and Wardel. Of the remainder the greater number traversed till the next Assizes, in cluding all those who seem to have acted as the princi pals ; Jackson, the dissenting minister, as he is described in the indictment, Smith, Butterworth, Tinney, and others. Of those who resolved to take their trial at these Assizes, a large proportion seemed to be of the lower class of operatives. William Jackson, against whom two bills have been found, was put to the bar; he was most respectably attired in black, and is of a very intelligent appearance. Mr. Sergeant ATCHERLY said, as to the sureties which would be required, he would confine himself simply to stating to the Court that the prisoner was a cler gyman, and that two bills had been fhund against him. Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the prisoner, said he was in structed that his client, although it might be thought otherwise from his profession and appearance, was not in that condition of life, so far as pecuniary matters were concerned, as would render it easy for him to procure a large amount of bail. His LORDSHIP said that the prisoner would be re quired to enter into his own r ecognizances for 1001., with two sureties in 501. each, or four in 251., on each indictment, to appear at the next Assiz?s, and to be of good behaviour in the meantime. Forty-eight hours' notice to be given to the attorney for the prosecution. Mr. ADot.Pflus submitted it was unusual to impose the condition as to the good behaviour in the mean time, and it would enhance the difficulty of procuring bail. His LORDSHIP said it was the old practice, and he thought this w as a ca se in which, considering th e state of the country, it would be proper to impose that condition. Butterworth was then placed at the bar, and the same sureties were required from him on each of two indictments. He said he wished to impress upon his Lordship's mind that the requiring such bail from an operative cotton-spinner was simply incarceration till the next Assizes. His LORDSHIP said that it was the very smallest amount that could be required under the ci rcumstances, and every facility h a d been given . for its proc urement b y allowing the prisoner to have tour sureties in '251. in place of two in 50/. Prisoner.—That will be eight bondsmen I must pro cure, my Lord, before I can be liberated. Upon being informed, however, that the same parties would do on each indictment provided their property was sufficient, he seemed quite satisfied. From Smith and 'Pinney, against each of whom two bills had been found, the same sureties were required in each indictment. The other prisoners, against each of whom cnly one bill has been found, were then put to the bar, and in formed that they would each be required to enter into his own recognizances, with two sureties in 501., or four in 251, to appear and take his trial at the next Assizes, and to be of good behaviour in the,rneantime. Mr. COBBETT, on behalf of two of them, Lloyd and Warden, submitted that the bail required was too oigh in proportion to the means of the parties. His LORDSHIP said he had fixed it at the lowest aw ount, and it could not he reduced. The two Bardesleys, Cox, and Wardel, who had pleaded guilty, were then put to the bar. Mr. WiLxiNs, who appeared for them, stated that he was instructed on their behalf, to express to the Court the greatest contrition for the misconduct of which they had been guilty. He could state also what the prose cution would no doubt admit, that their conduct had been marked by the greatest propriety and good con duct. Their offence, too—that of drilling—had been committed before the issuing of the proclamation, and they had not been guilty of it since. They did not, indeed, at the time know that they were acting illegally, but were the tools of men more guilty than themselves. He trusted the object of the prosecution would b e served by inflicting but a L slight punishment on the pre sent occasion. Mr. Sergeant ATCHERLEY said he would merely mention the nature of the offence, not saying a word in aggravation, but leaving the matter entirely at the dis cretion of the Court. The prisoner Cox had pleaded guilty to the charge of ille ga ll y drilling, at tended the night before a meeti ng most d angerous to the public peace : at which th e cap of liberty was dis playedand he had surmou nting a bla c k fl ag. Wardel stood under precisely similar circumstances ; and ;:the 134rdesleys were sharp, with shafts to which th e y could be fitted on the instant. found i All that posseshattbe':onvenf two pikes ground very l ri triellt sought was such a sentence as would tend to assure the public peace, which by such conduct was pl ace d i n extreme peril. His LORDSIIIP said he would hear the other trials before passing sentence. They will commence on Monday. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. QUEEN-SQUARE. WORKING OF THE NEW POLICE ACT.—The best proof of the efficacious working of this New Act, or rather a portion of it, was yesterday exhibited at this Offic e in the paucity of the drunken and disorderly charges commonly called the night charges, though as as many of the prisoners, and sometimes more, are taken in the d ay as at n i ght. The 8., or Westminster Division of Police, which every Monday morning averages from 40 to 50 drunken and disorderly charges, and as late as Monday last had upwards of 60, yesterday had only 13 charges of a drunken and disor derly nature, which the Inspectors attributed to the early closing of the public-houses, and their not being re-opened until one o'clock on the Sunday morning, and the great fear generally exhibited by the dissolute among the poorer classes of being sent to the House of Correction, for perhaps there ;s no place to be equalled to Westminster in producing so great a number of con firmed drunkards ; but there it would appear Idle new law had evoked a change, for they well know that if they were compelled to make an appearance at the Office they could not put in the " set off" of a first ap pearance. There were several cases that came under the cognizance of the New Act--one of which was for ringing the door bell of Mr. French, M.P., in Parlia ment-street. The culprit, an Irishman, with th e ap pellation of Barnaby 111 Dermot, insisted on seeing M r . French, and on b e i ng refused admission, continued for two hours ringing the bell. The Magistrate sentenced him to p ay a fi ne of 205., and not being possessed of the money, he was committed to the House of Cor rection, HATTON-GARDEN. POLICE ACT.—Eliza Anderson war; charged by Hay cock, No. 108 E division, with being drunk, and annoy ing gentlemen in the public street. The constable being sworn, stated that on Sunday night last he saw the prisoner, whilst drunk, atop several gentlemen in Lucas-place, Brunswick-square, and lay hold of th em against their gill,The pri soner sa i d she had b een d r i n ki ng , an d did not recollect w h at took place. Mr. M a ll ett, the clerk, inquired of the constable what the prisoner was? Haycock—A night-walker. Mr. Mallett said there was a special clause in the new Act relative to such a case. Mr. BENET T read the clause, which stated that every common prostitute or night-walker, loitering or being in any thoroughfare or public place, for the purpose of prostitution or solicitation, to the annoyance of the in habitants or passengers, shall be liable to a penalty of not more than 40s. Mr, BENETT convicted her in the penalty of ss. Mr. Mallett inquired for what time she would be committed to prison in default of payment? Mr. BENETT replied, three days. She was accord ingly committed. Yesterday, according to the regulations of the New Police Act, the officers of the l‘letropolitan Police were in attendance upon the M a gistrates, and had warrants and summonses to execute. The penalty for any neg lect of duty is 101., or, in default of payment, one month's imprisonment and hard labour. METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Globe of last evening thus alludes to Lord Lynd hurst's anti- Ministerial diatribe in the House of Lords bit Friday night When Lord Lyndhurst poiuttd with so triumphant a tone to the mai:gled retuduns of Government measures which he had dragged at his chariot -wheels by the power he is enabled to exercise in the House of Peers, was his Lordship so intoxicated with his success as to be altogether indifferent to the probable effects which his self.laudatory oration would have on the people ? When his Lordship gloried over the expecta tions of the great bulk of the Irish population--again de ferred, although not defeated—of obtaining an equality of civil rights with the other parts of the empire of which they are an integral part in name, but from the consti tutional benefits of which they have been long shut out in fact by barriers the House of Lords now alone at tempts to perpetuate—did Lord Lyndhurst imagine that his speech, so full of taunts on Ministers for their inability to give municipal rights to Ireland, would tend to propitiate the regards of t e Irish people toward Toryism, or cause them to forgot or forgive the insult which his Lordship hurled upon them, when in a former oration delivered in the wantonness of triumphant exultation at the injustice the Peers allowed him to perpetrate in their name, and by their power, he designated the Irish people a nation of " aliens ?" Or does his Lordship imagine that were the aspirations and aims of the opposition to Ministers, which he wields so despotically in the Upper House, to be crowned with success, there is any incantation he could use that would lay the unquiet spirit of Ireland, or induce a peaceable acquiescence with Tory rule ? The announcement that the present Government was about to give place to one of which Lord Lyndhurst would be a member, would operate as by enchantment to call up the remembrance of past oppressions and present insults." The Courier, speaking of the wrongs of Ireland, says :—" The Chartists of England have unquestionably their grievances—trying, heavy, and most aggravating grievances, long borne, and yet long and keenly to be suffered ; but see, amidst the violence and the crime of which tney are guilty, under the colour of po litical agitation, and the perversion of a wise reso lution to obtain redress—see to what wrong, what oppression, what cruel and almost crushing perse cution the peaceful and loyal population of Ireland are even now exposed ! See what Tory land lords in Ireland will yet venture to do, and what tenants, who are not utterly debased and prostrate in spirit, are yet liable to suffer. Ireland is most nobly avenged for many of the heartless and wanton injuries that have been, through hopeless years, inflicted upon her— avenged, in the honourable contrast which she presents to our eyes, as we turn from threats and turbulence here to the comparatively tranquil and confiding spirit which animates that once misruled and miserable country." The Standard alludes, in the following terms, to Lord Lyndhurst's tirade on Friday night :—" Lord Mel bourne appeared to felicitate himself and his col leagues on Friday evening, on the fact that Lord Lyndhurst had founded no specific motion directly affecting the stability of the Government, on his unrivalled exposition of the Ministerial offences of the Session ; and declared that, howevt r his Lordship might degrade her Majesty's Mi nisters, he would add nothing to the strength of his own party by his exercitation.' We differ from his Lordship in this opinion ; and repeat our belief that Lord Lyndhurst's narrative of the sins of omission and commission of the Government during the Parliamen tary Session, will have an effect ' out of doors' which will eventually prove of more service to the Conserva tive cause than half-a-dozen motions involving more specific results."

Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar, in Mincing Lane, and comparing the same against that of foreign sugars sold in the same market:— London, August 24, 1839. The Gazette of last night quotes the average Per Cwt. price of British Plantation Muscovado Su gar, exclusive of duty, at The number of hogsheads stated in the market to have been sold in the week ending the 20th inst. is 2,400 hhds., whereas, the returns of sales sworn to by the brokers in conformity with the Act of Parliament, show that the ac tual number sold amounts only to 1,525 hhds. 147 trs. and 77 barrels, estimated to contain altogether 24,275 cwt. ; and it is upon this weight that the average price of 40s. 7d. per cwt. is computed. We readily admit that in the bustle of a market some inaccuracies may occur in reporting the quantity of business transacted, the vast dif ference however, between the actual sales, and those esti mated in the market, for the two weeks just passed, dis plays an exaggeration which can hardly be attributed to mistake. In the week ending the 13th inst., that difference is 714, and in the week under review 728 hhds. and trs., so that the estimated sales for a fortnight are made to ap pear as extensive as the real sales are for three weeks— these exaggerated reports of sales tend to deceive the public into a belief that the demand for sugar is brisk— while it is notorious to those who attend the market that the West India merchants experience difficulty in maintain ing the present quotations. Since the first May last, the decrease in the deliveries of Sugar from the bonded warehouses of this port, as com pared against the deliveries in the same period of 1838, has been 13,365, hhds. and trs. Hhds. Trs. The stock on the 19th August, 1837, was 22 307 18th do. 1838, was 37 303 less in 1839 th l a 7 n th lB3B d , o.lB39, 32 182 Beingby 4 121 And more in 1839 than 1837, by 9 875 There were landed at the above date in 1837 73 127 in 1838 9O 653 in 1839 6l 814 The deficiency in the stock of West India Sugar is abundantly compensated by the increase in the stock of West India and Mauritius Sugars, so that if the ships which leave the West Indies on the Ist of this month bring an average quantity of Sugar. which some parties believe they will do, we may confidently look to a fall in price before the Ist of October of 10s. per cwt. The refineries working under bond for exportation only, obtain for their produce, after deducting the charges o f shipment, the following price, namely :._.. For Refined Sugar, equal in quality to the Per C w t. double loaf standard 33 3. Od. For Bastard Refined Sugar For Treacle The refineries which work West India sugar . lasses for home consumption, sell their produce af ter ail IS'I °- ditto de ducting the duty, as follows : Per Cwt. Refined Sugar, same quality as the above. Bastard Ditto, ug O a d r . 365. 3 ° Od d : Pays for : .. Refined Treacle sugar 21s per cwt. ; and The British nation therefore pays more than . foreign nations 29261. 6d. per cw t c . w ; t. fo f r or ßa T s r t e tt a rd ele pay. If foreign Sugars were admitted to home use upon the same conditions as West India Sugar, the p u bli c wou ld b e Sugar, ad supplied with Refined which is admitted dutyl3s. d 6d in gt . he duty of 24s , at 575. per Cent. ; Bastard, ditto, free, at 24s at 425. ; and Treacle, The difference between the amount which the nation actually pays, and that for which it might be supplied, constitutes the exact cost, as far as Sugar is concerned, of Government favouritism to West India interests. 1 London : Printed and Published by 'MURDO YOUNG , °f 1 No. 112, Strand, at The Sun Office, No. 112, Strand, in the county of Aliddlesex,—Tuesqay, August 27, 1 b3r. 1,683 SMITHFIELD.
