FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF IE,TERDAT. 4111161111101 I portant " we ," and at every public !ban that should refuse to bow to us?' It would be quite un necessary to give that pledge for political integrity that a decent consistency affords, as experience sh:wvs ; and as for talent, the smallest amount possible would be sufficient, as we see by the in spiration that always invests the editors of a popu lar journal in succession with eloquence, wisdom, and learning, for a long succession of years, though the parties may be and have been uniformly a succession of absolute dunces—except during the illuminated periods of their employment. The secret is all in this, abuse plentifully and indis criminately, find fault without end. Everybody can shine in this, from Billingsgate to Westminster, Covent-garden and the Corn Exchange, Dublin. All can be eloquent and seemingly wise for the day, if they will only throw aside the restraints of truth and decency, and minister to the humour of the day, which, if the venerable Hooker says rightly, is commonly a sour, angry, and desponding humour. A journal such as we speak of must command commercial success, if the ground were n o t u l uckily already occupied .' Our reflections have been thrown into tliis channel by an article which we • have elsewhere copied from a morning paper, not precisely of the stamp that we have been describing, but which seems to prove by its recent success that quackery is not the only road, though certainly it is the easiest, to public favour. The article in question demonstrates, we think very satisfactorily, that the alarm set up by a nia:o!•ity of. our Contemporaries, is wholly groundless—that Frahce is neither desirous of con quering Moroceo, able to conquer that country, nor able to retain it if conquered. Further the article to which we refer offers a series of remarks which must convince all who are not intellectually blind that as England never was either absolutely or relatively one-half or one-third as powerful as she is at this moment, no war can be declared against England byany ma c dm oun e t n. ry the rulers of whi c h are no t down right selves by their labour in the place for five years, not to be removable.

On arriving at the London-bridge wharf the pas sengers' luggage was conveyed to the baggage . room, while they awaited' in an adjoining one the pleasure of the officials. Although the steamer comes up to the wharf, and th e baggage room elapsed before isupo r the n e th officers .ewharf rfitselr, m ore t h an an hour announced them se l ves rea d y to examine , t y h a e g luggage, which, to pas sengers j ust landed after perhaps long a b sence from Eng land, is no slight and trial to their patience. Their names are given from the Captain's list, and therefore, in the order in which they paid their fares, and, fortu nately, mine stood among the first. Even when the examination commenced, it was very slow and weari some work; a party with a large quantity of luggage would not be less than twenty minutes, or perhaps double that time; so that even I, who luckily had not more than seven or eight names before me, had to wait nearly another hour before my turn came ; and from the numbers which were below me, I am con fident that some must have been detained more than double that time. 40 r 50 60 Full particulars are detailed in the Prospectus. • A.

UNPARALLELED ACTIVITY IN THE BOOR TRADE.— About a fortnight since, a. young man neatly dressed, with something of the air of a Dissenting minister or country schoolmaster, called at the shop of Messrs. Light and Ridler, the well-known booksellers and librarians in High-street, Bristol, and inquired how often they were in the habit of writing to London for books. The answi r was " every evening." In that case he would trouble them to order for him six dozen of a sixpenny pamphlet, entitled the "Biter Bit," the parcel, when received, to be sent to Mr. John Duncan, No. —, Stoke's Croft. In the course of the same day, a young bookseller, who gets his parcels through Messrs. Light and Ridler, sent to re quest they would get 100 copies of the " Biter Bit." On receiving this additional order they concluded that this, to them unknown publication, was some religious tract of surpassing interest. The next day Mr. C., who carries on the same business• in Clare-street, called, and after a few remarks in his usual facetious style, as to the state of trade, &c., asked if they had any orders for the " Biter Bit." " Why, yes;" and so on comparing notes it appeared that Mr. C. had been favoured by Mr. Dun can, of Kingsdown House, with an order for six dozen. An adjournment was then moved and carried unanimously to the house of Mr. 11., a brother chip, whose private residence is on Kingsdown, and he, on examination, while professing utter ignorance of any Mr. John Dun can, of Kingsdown, owned a slight acquaintance with a gentleman of that name, resident in Stoke's Croft, for whom he had the previous evening ordered too copies of a pamphlet called the "Biter Bit." Mr. C., who had not dispatched his order, indulged in a loud guffaw ; the countenance of Mr. Light grew dark and heavy, while Mr. Ridler seemed in all the painful throes of solving a most difficult conundrum. In a few minutes investiga tion was the order of the day ; domiciliary visits were paid all the bihliopolists of Bristol, and an inquiry con ducted with a celerity, minuteness, and acattuness, which a Home Secretary or an Assistant Poor-law Commis sioner would have envied, concluded in ascertaining the gratify ing fact that Mr. John Duncan had been per • fectly impartial in the distribution of his favours. None in the trade were too high or too humble -to escape, his patronage. About 3,000 copies of the " Biter Bit " have been obtained at, his request. By some mistake he has up to the present moment neglected to call, pay, and take away the interesting pamphlet, which, so far from being of either a religious or political character, is an unmitigated farrago of .nonsense, detailing the quarrels of two itinerant lecturers.—Great Western Advertiser. Lime spots on woollen cloths may be completely removed by strong vinegar. GLOBE.—The bombardment of Tangiers—even though the active intelligence should lack confirma tion—would be sufficiently threatening to the dura tion of peace, with which the essential interests of England and France are identified. There is, how ever, hope that war yet will be averted. The forbear ance of Lord Aberdeen is proverbial. The lamb-like patience that has hitherto shown itself invulnerable, still promises to be proof against this additional in stance of French aggression. The Herald—which, in all the qualities that separates our Foreign Minister from the sympathies that have been roused throughout the nation against the reiterated inso lence and injuries of France, bears a striking resem blance to its patron and prompter—bestows a reproof upon us for our remarks on this now all-absorbing event. Tangiers is not, it seems, of sufficient im portance to warrant a moment's regard from a nation so great and glorious as England ! France may, accord ing to the Herald, be permitted to play what pranks she pleases on the entire line of the African coast ; bombard what towns she pleases, and occupy what ter ritory she pleases, without calling forth any expression from England, beyond, perhaps, an expostulation uttered with " bated-breath," against what cannot be altogether approved. If a remark, prompted by surprise and indignation at the indifference or pusillanimity which characterises the Ministers of this, country, be uttered, the complaint is met by the ready excla mation, " England is great; and Sir Robert Peel is Minister ! " What necessity can exist for uneasiness ; even though one event after another, each indicative of the aggressive policy of France, tread each other's heel ? " Who a afraid ?" The Herald assigns a long string of reasons—some of them very strange ones; which are adduced for the pur pose of snaking out a justification for ministerial for bearance :—" England has nothing to fear, in the vul gar sense of the word, from a war. At this moment the surplus revenue of the country, beyond its expen diture, represents a capital of nearly one hundred millions sterling, which might be doubled or trebled if necessary, and true economy would dictate to engage in war ' cum lota corpore regni,' should the cruel necessity of war be forced upon us. - And no t only are -the pecuniary resources, but all the other elements of military power at hand. We have an ample, if not a redundant, population. We, too, have a bold and high-spirited youth, whom we do not always find it easy to provide for in peaceful occupa tions. We have an enormous amount of capital (the Three per Cents. have been hovering about par), the possessors of which would not be sorry for a more active demand for it. We have manufacturers who do not forget. _the prodigious fortunes acquired between 1793 and 1815; and agriculturists not unacquainted with the prices of that period—even our labourers sometimes think of war wages." What is this but a repetition of the old story of the countryman, who sought improvement of a good state of health, and be took himself to a quack ? To the questions, "Do you eat well ?—Drink well ? —Sleep well ? "—the answers were " Yes." "Oh !" said the quack, " I will give you something which shall speedily cure you of all that." The nation's " surplus revenue," derived from the income-tax, will give place to formi dable deficiency. " A redundant population" will be readily got rid of by the wholesale destruction of life that is occasioned by war. " The bold and high-spirited youth, for whom it is not easy to find employment in peaceful occupa tions," will be provided for by commissions in the sud denly-raised fleets and armies that will be required in the war, on a grand scale, which England is suffi ciently wealthy and powerful to undertake. " The Three per Cents., which have been hovering about par," will rapidly sink to 60 ; and the fundholders " will not be sorry for a more active demand for their capital," in the loans which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer will be compelled to raise to provide the sinews of war. " Our manufacturers," continues this profound lecturer on the commercial advantages of war, " do not forget the prodigious fortunes acquired between 1793 and 1815." The manufacturers who profited by Clio war we re c hi e fly th ose w h o f a b r i cate d t h e munition° of -,,..-, „-L:.1„. ....—,.......i.........2 i t ii.... Government with the money raised by means of enormous taxes imposed upon every imaginable article consumed by the people. There are " agricultu rists who still remember the prices of that period. Even our labourers," adds this approved Govern ment guide, " sometimes think of war-wages !" Yes ; and these different classes, whom the Herald represents as desirous of war, have also a salutary recollection of the widely-spread ruin caused by a return to peace, and to peace-prices. The immense increase to the National Debt, and the perpetuity of the immense load of annual taxation imposed on the country to pay the interest of that sum ; with the other numerous calamities which were entailed upon the nation by the " just and necessary war," in which England was engaged from 1793 to 1815 ; are, we trust, sufficiently impressed upon the memories, and seen and felt in the daily privations of the community, to cause a renewal of war to be deprecated as a fearful visitation, and an aversion of its threatened curse to be anxiously hoped for, as a deliverance from the worst of national evils. As to the insignificance of Tangiers, on which the Herald expatiates, as a reason for allowing the French to occupy it, and the whole territory of Morocco, if they please, without the remonstrance or interference of England—we are happy to find that at present there is no response to the disgraceful hint. It would be a shorter and a less troublesome course to surrender Gibraltar to the French, without further question, than to allow England's power to be frittered away by the occupancy of Tangiers by a French army. Could not the dispute be arranged by a French " Protectorate" being established on the old rock, in order to keep the EngliSh in order, and as a retaliation for some fancied affront to thegreat nation, in not allowing them to do as they please upon it ? STANDARD.--Whoever has had .the misfortune to be intimately acquainted with an hypochondriac (and it is a plague that few escape thratsgh life) must be aware that there is nothing more unac ceptable to the sufferer from imaginary ma ladies than the plain, and what ought to be the consolatory truth, that there is nothing really the matter. Flatter his delusion, assure him that he is in a dying state, and if friend'you will be welcome, if physician well fed, and if relation duly considered in the ready will : but dare to tell the truth, promise length of days, recommend beef stakes, port, and an excursion on the moors, and you are sure to lose friend, patient, orin heritance, according to the relation in which . you stand. Nor is it only in respect to bodily ail ments that this unreasonable hypochondria pre vails, though doubtless the high and palmy state of medical quackery in' Our- day demonstrates its preva lence in that department. There are hypochondriacs upon all subjects —every one remembers the doleful gentleman in Goldsmith's pleasant comedy, who always visited with his bitterest resentment, those who told him that his fears and his resentments were groundless. We are tempted to quote a passage for the benefit of our Contemporary alarmists. "My dear Honeywood—Look at this, it will freeze you with terror—and yet my wife can read it—can read it, and laughs." The friend appealed to gives no en couragement to fear, and our disappointed hypochon driac proceeds, " How, sir, do you maintain that I should lie down under such an injury, and show neither by my tears nor complaints that I have something of the spirit of a man in me ?" Whoever will compare this last touch ing appeal with some recent articles of the Morning Chronicle, Times, &c., and, comparing, will observe the community not only of principle, but almost of phrase, between the apostrophe of Goldsmith's humourist and the remonstrances of our public instructors, will, we think, agree with us that all nervous fancies are not limited to corporal ailments, and that there is much quackery which has no concern with pills, draughts, or lotions. The public, in fact, always has been, and always will be a complex giant hypochondriac. And the press, we must say it to our shame, lives in a great measure b 7 exciting the absurd fears of this patient. fake the history of Great Britain for the last fifty years—that history is, certainly, one in which prosperity predominates. But be lieve the predictions of the press, and the coun try must have perished at least twenty years ago, and had the suggestions of the press been adopted twenty years ago or more, the country would, in fart, have sunk to a third-rate power. It is a remarkable fact, too, and one which must go far to excuse the quacks of our order to worldly judges, that the most persevering alarmists and fault finders, and the most Uniformly bad advisers, have always been and are, in a, commercial view, pretty generally the most prosperous. If the ground were not already occupied, it would be an ex cellent speculation to set up a journal with some such motto as this—" How- art we ruined ?" and to conduct the org an o f woe u p on a p r i nc i p l e of indiscriminate abuse, sneering and snarling at every measure that did not emanate from the im- On entering the baggage-room I found a landing waiter at a desk writing into a book the numbers which had been affixed indiscriminately to each article of luggage. There was only one man to search out my things from the confused heap, which he could only do with my assistance ; for the affixed numbers did not follow each other in any sequence, and were, therefore, no guide whatever. He then called out my name with the numbers aforesaid, and the landing waiter entered them. The same man - had to open and examine the trunks; I was not permitted even to unlock them, still less to --.7..". 'le w.. exaliination was ne cessarily very imperfect, although a good deal of fussy and rather annoying roughness was dis played in pulling the clothes out of their pl ice and crushing them down again without the slightest re gard to their smoothness, &c. This done, the trunk was stamped by another landing-waiter, and when all had gone through this process, they were taken to another table to be again stamped and delivered. There was a great deal of pretension made at " open ing everything," even down to a little parcel of a dozen apricots. The whole process seemed as badly arranged as possible. Nothing could be more use less than affixing random numbers to each article of luggage, and then ent er i ng them i nto a book—a pro cess which alone took as much time as the whole examination would have done in a Belgian, and still more a Prussian, Custom -house. There being only one man to search out the luggage of each person, open and examine, it is perfectly absurd when we consider that he has to perform the same duty for 80 or 100 pas sengers. There was no incivility shown beyond an unavoidable degree of rough haste in going through the examination, although the half surly silence of the chief landing-waiter —a stout mlidle-aged man, who did not vouchsafe a word beyond a monosyllable or two to his sub—struck me as very different to the 'cheerfol civility particularly of the Prussian officers. , With them the business is much more simple and short, and the baggage of a couple of hundred railway Passengers is dispatched in the same time that is required for a dozen by the mud dling and feeble arrangements of the London Cus tom-house. A circle of tables is formed round the room, within which at least a dozen officers stand with the baggage ; the passe ngers range t h emse l ves on th e outside with some m ore officers for s tiltfurther expe dition ; the whole is d one much more agreea b ly, an d with fifty times the di spatc h ; each article receives its mark of having been examined, w hi c h i s inspected by two more officers at th e d oors ; and lam sure that .1 speak within bounds wh en I say, that f rom t h e mo ment of my arriving at the station to my leaving it I was not detained twenty minutes. E• R• August 14, 1844. THE "TARTAR SO ----- I:I - lER" IN HYDE PARK.

Acco r di ng l y, at five o'clock, or a d p eg pe: e e d to t o d act ire e t a hiss his m i shortly . after, - the Tartar m a d e hi s appearance, ac companied by several ge n tl emen on horseback, one rpenrtset, and interpreter, and in some h° m large space o f groun d f ur hi s evolutions was cleared out and kept, as the term is, by of w the privates of the 2d Regiment of Life Guards. The Tartar is a good-looking man, apparently between twenty-five and thirty years of age, of an athletic frame, with con siderable squareness of limb, but with no superfluous flesh. He stands about five feet ten inches in height, an d may weigh about 13 stone. He was dressed in a tight fitting tunic of rose-coloured silk, wadded, and capable of resisting a bard blow; very loose trousers, drawn tightly round his legs j us t b e l ow t h e knee, and met by tight black boots almost resembling long gaiters. On his head was a sheepskin cap of black wool, similar to those worn by the Persians who were in the suite of the Persian Ambassador when in this country a few years ago. He had mustachios on the upper lip. Ilis arm s cons i s t e d of a pair of pistols, which, in the course of his performances, lie repeatedly discharg ed, and a p o l e about ten or a dozen feet lon g , w hich he used as a lance, throwing it with considerable force when galloping, and with so correct an aim, that had it not been for the quickness and agility of the gentleman who volunteered to be the object of his aim, and who was also on horseback, a broken head or a fractured bone would probably . have been the result. We believe 'this part of his practice is what is called throwing the " djereed." The Tartar also dis plays considerable skill in lifting this weapon from the ground without dismounting, but this he performed without putting his horse in motion, mak ing him stand still whilst he recovered his weapon. He also threw himself off his horse while at the top of his speed, and vau l te d again into the saddle with great ease. The performances were very well in their wav, but nothing that cannot be done, more especially tlie equestrian feats, by a large proportion of the men in our cavalry regiments, and by hundreds of others ; and the spectators did not seem to be much astonished by what they beheld. Towards the clo se formerly an officer of the Blues, the son of Lord Maynard, mounted upon a troop horse, VI ith a fencing ifoil, undertook to encounter the Tartar, who was armed with a basket-hilted single-stick, and nothing daunted by his formidable al tr , aranee and reputation as a, swordsman, succeeded with apparent e.e.e in la flicting a " palpable hit" upon his ribs, just beneith the left arm of the Tartar (who is a left-handed swordsman), as the latter raised his arm to inflict a perpendicular cut at his head. The Tartar did not appear to comprehend what had occurred, and in rather an irritable manner dismounted and did not renew the contest. Mr. Maynard then threw his fencing-glove on the ground, and putting his horse in a canter, lifted it up without dismounting. This gen tleman also exhibited the feat of vaulting into the saddle, and in the comparison of horsemanship with the Oriental foreigner certainly suffered nothing. As a skilful swordsman the Tartar is certainly to be sur passed by many of those who were on the ground, and many of the Life Guardsmen expressed their willingness to contend with him. On Tuesday last, we believe, he exhibited at the barracks in the Re gent's-park, and was matched with Limbard, consi— dered the best swordsman in the regiment quartered there, and also w ith Hemmingway, a good swords man of the same regiment. Limbard, in the sporting phrase, had the best of him, and Hemmingway also set him at nought. In the course of the exercises of that day he discharged his pistol so close to the face of the last named of these two men, that the powder drew blood, and the man's face is blued, probably for the, rest of his life, as such marks are rarely oblite rated. Some allowance must, however, be made for the impetuosity of the Thrtar, and his total unac quaintance with the manner and feeling in which our national sports are carried on. The following account of this singular personage may not be uninteresting to our readers ; we have it from a gentleman who has had opportunities of in quiring and coming at the facts :—Balthazar Beck Pogus is the son of a Kniaz, or Khan of Independ en t Tartary, a country w hi c h boasts of never having been , conquered by, or subject to any foreign power. The inhabitants are Christians. At the early age of four teen, Balthazar joined the Circassian army and fought against the Russians for three years. At the end of this time the troop in which he served were taken prisoners, when engaged in a battle near Tiflis. Ai Balthaza,r had no choice left but to be sent to Siberia or to 'take service in the Russian army, in the hopes that some day or other a chance of escape would offer itself, he chose the latter, and was sent to War saw , where he was pl ace d i n a klussulman regiment, and served in it for nine years. ,In November last, a mus ter of hii regiment was eidered ; the horsemen under his cmmand consisted of '29, but as he appeared on parade with 28 only, his superior officer inquired why the number was' hot complete, - and on being told that the reason was, that one of the men had been taken very ill _ in the morni ng , an d th ere h a d b een no t i me to report the circumstance, he exclaimed, " Christian dog, I shall punish you for this breach of discipline; you are one of those who eat-pork, and your religion is a dog's religion !" and at the same time struck Bal thazar on the breast in an insulting manner with the back of his hand. Thus outraged without cause, be fore his own men, the Tartar could no longer master his feelings, and, in a state of frenzy, he drew his sword and cut down the officer who had so griev ously wronged him - . He saw, in a moment, that he was a lost man, and there was no safety for him but in the ,desperate expedient of flight Beckoning to his cousin and his ser vant, who served in the same regiment, -to follow, he started without losing a moment. They made for the frontier of Prussia; hut by mistake they took the road of Plock instead-of Plonsk. Meanwhile an alarm was raised, and Cossacks were sent in pur suit of them ; but although the pursuers obtained fresh horses at the different pickets, so well were the fugitives mounted, that it was not till after they had ridden twelve hours, having performed a distance of 120 English miles, and being very near the Prussian frontier, they were at length overtaken. An officer with seven men rode up to them, calling out to Bal thazar to surrender. He replied " Never;" and added " You know me, and that when I take an aim I never miss ; if therefore, you value your life,. suffer me to nroeppa " A 4. iSvo pistol shots were heard, and Ins companions dropped dead from theirhorses. Battliatz.ar bj ..1.1. his brace of pistols two of the Cossacks; then, setting spurs to his horse, he resumed his flight, followed by the remaining Cossacks. So good, however, was his horse, of Arab breed, that his pursuers, one by one, dowmr wounded un p ,n pe da e c s 1 dh o effh, rode o i d l ein o nl a the y f t e o rt n h e ti thigh. e he m . T a a i rr n ae dr feltfi t r he officer. etdheath T blood m him, and gush out and run down, but he was not of a temper or in a situation to be stopped by such a casualty ; and now he suddenly came to a wide and deep brook, which seemed to forbid his further progress. Rousing, how ever, his aded but high-couraged horse, he rod e boldly at the brook, and got clear over. The Cossack officer, following closely, attempted the same feat, but failing, fell with his horse into the water. Balthazar, now in Prussia (for that brook formed the boundary), and freed from his pursuers, rode on to the first village, where having told his story, he was taken in and kindly treated. 'Shortly after the Russians sent to claim him as a deserter, but the Prussian authorities refused to give him up. Some Prussian gentlemen of distinction in the neighbour hood showed him great kindness, and when he reco vered from his wound, which was not for a long time, and expressed his desire to return to his own home, they advised him as the bestmode of doing s o , t o ge t t o the coast and embark for England. Accordingly, hav ing been supplied by them with money for the journey and with letters to friends at'Dantzic, he proceeded on his horse to that city, where he met with further kindness from the officers of the garrison, by whom he and his horse were sent to this country, whence it is said he intends to depart for France, and by way of Marseilles to get to Constantinople. We understand he has been patronised by Lord Dudley Stuart, and other influential persons, and that a subscription to defray his expenses and journey to Constantinople, to the amount of 501., has already been made. He has the greatest affection for his horse, a grey Arab, of great beauty and extraordinary good points, and has refused to p ar t w ith it f or any pr i ce. On being asked a few days ago by an officer of the Life Guards if he would sell the animal, he energetically laid his hand upon the scalp of his head, and said, " I would sooner cut this from my head, and make• my horse eat hair and sill, than. sell her, my preserver r—Times.

Grouse shooting commenced on Monday last, but the wet weather of Sunday night and Monday morn ing prevented many of the sportsmen from going out till nearly noon, when the moors were so w e t as t o be unfavourable for the sport. The birds were numerous and strong, and during the week very ex tensive destruction has been effected on the Yorkshire moors. Leeds has been amply supplied, and yester day (and two or three days previously) grouse was sold at six shillings a brace.—Leeds Mercury. The Duke of Devonshire, on Monday, the 12th instant, shot twenty brace of moor game in the Broad Park, near Barden Tower. His Grace has had a party of friends staying with him. We hear from the moors, in the northen part of our own county, that the sport on the 12th was not so good this year as the last, owing to the fact that the young birds are quite strong, and that there having been a shower on the previous night they were dis turbed, so that sportsmen could scarcely get within fifty yards of them.—Derbyshire Courier. 'he Aberdeen and Inverness papers give glowing accounts of the sport in the north ; with which letters before us (Ayr Advertiser) from the moor grounds at Eaglesham, Barr, Portmark at the head of Loch Doon, and the Stewartry of Kircudbright, quite co incide. Saturday vouchsafed splendid weather for sportsmen, with their dog-carts, keepers, and dogs jogging along the hilly roads to quarters, and although the 12th dawned rather inauspiciously, and the grounds were wet from recent rain, the coveys sat well, and what is still more to the point they were e numerous, and the birds strong on the wing. 0n of our accounts states that two parties who met at their match on hilly moors near Castle Douglas, athou,h two r.m., had not seen a single "ch d eep since e party e two aod . fo e u r' r le te g en un br t a e c n e guns e ns oth h e a r d b wi g th ge a Stair's moors, of five gentlemen, shooting orc ) and a half brace from the same hour.

BnouGu.—The 12th of August, which is looked forward to with so much interest, WAS, during the early part of the day, but unfaV6urableto the sports men in this neighbourhood. The morning - was dull and heavy, and the fells covered with a partial mist, which greatly retarded the progress of the early risers, and during the forenoon the falling showers were very frequent. lowa:* nou n, however, the sun began THE HARVEST AND T HE CROPS. Owing to the unsettled state of the weat her, the corn harvest has made but little progress in the - Northern counties during the present week. A good deal of oats and some wheat are cut, but very little of either has been carried. Much of the wheat is laid, but only little is yet damaged. It is too early to judge of , 'the yieldof the corn crops with certainty, but the pre vailing opinion is that winter-sown wheat will exceed an average produce, if well gathered, while spring wheat, and oats, and barley, will be below the yield of average of years. The reports from all.parti of the country, as well from the South as in the' North, - describe the weather as dainp, cold, and boisterous, not only in England, but in Scotland and Ireland, and the critical state of the harvest cannot fail to ex cite some apprehension. This feeling is indicated by the London Corn Market, in which wheat advanced from Is. to 2s. a quarter on Monday, and a further advance of Is. took place on Wednesday.- In the Wakefield Market of yesterday wheat temporarily advanced is. per quarter, as compared with the market of that day se'nnight, and other grain in proportion; but at the close of the market last week's prices were submitted to. The root crops and the after meat are improving rapidly. On Thurs day the day was fair, though dull, and the glass was on the rise; yesterday the weather was fine. and sunny, and the glass still advancing, though by no means high. Throughout Yorkshire the corn crops generally look well, and little or no injury has been suffered. We have this week had an opportunity of observing the crops northward from Leeds, by Harrowgate, Ripon, Masham; liedale, and Richmond. in this line of country there is a great deal of corn ; and the appearance of the crops gene rally is very beautiful. In most parts the harvest is beginning, and about Ripon a good deal of corn has been cut. Comparatively few fields are so lodged by the rain as to have suffered. If the weather should now be fine, there will be an excellent and abundant harvest.—Leeds Mercury. Instead of the universal wish and prayer for rain which was daily breathed but a short time back, an earnest desire at this moment as generally pi ciri t lL my Tr'eqUe . nt shavers, tut - very heavy rains have fallen, as well by day as by night ; and the important operations of harvest have thereby been unfortunately much retarded. Hitherto, we hope, the corn has not sustained any material injury; but a continuance of the same moist and mild state of the atmosphere, far even a few days longer would, it is feared, be at tended with serious consequences. Nothing could be more cheering than the accounts of the wheat crop, and of the prospect of housing it in good order, re ceived from all quarters previously to the present visitation of wet weather, nor is there, we are happy to believe, any grounds yet for alarm or apprehen sion.—Norwich Mercury. PETERBOROUGH.—Last week a large quantity of wheat was cut in our neighbourhood, and if the weather had this week been as favourable as the last there would have been but little remaining to he cut. A few fine days will make the farmers (who with us are generally on the alert) alive to their own inte rest, and to that of the country as well. The wheat here is much heavier than usual, although the sheaves are not so numerous as we have seen them stand. Upon the whole, there will be in this neighbourhood at least an average crop.—Cambridge Chronicle. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The late heavy rains in this district have had the effect of laying a considerable portion of the wheat, notwithstanding which, should the weather prove favourable, heavy crops will be secured. Should the rain, 'however, continue to fall heavily, serious damage may be sus tained. The harvest has not yet commenced gene rally in the East Riding ; on the clay lands sorae fields have been cut ; on the `golds, however, all is yet standing.—Hull Advertiser. At the quarterly meeting of the Wetherby Farmers' Club, among other resolutions come to is the fol lowing :—" The best time to cut wheat is when the grain is in a raw state, and the straw beginning to assume a yellow hue up to the ear, or from ten to seven days earlier than is customary in this district." As the subject of this resolution is one of great im portance to the farmer, and is opposed to the general practice of allowing the corn to become. fully ripe before cutting, we have thought it right to call the • attention of our readers to the point.—Leeds Mercury. THE HAY HARVEST.—The hay harve'd will this year, to all appearance, extend over a great part of four months, namely, June, July,' August, and September. In a considerable part of Yorkshire the hay is still abroad in the fields ; in many places it is uncut; and we hear in the northern parts the farmers think of postponing the getting in of their hay till after the corn harvest ! The crops are geperally very deficient, though, where the hay is cut very late, the quantity is increased, but of course at the expense of the after-grass.— Leeds Mercury. day evening, Mr. Joseph Payne FATAL EXPERIMENT WITH POISON.— O an i ur a,d; employed in the laboratory of Mr. Freeman, * Friday night last he went d From the evidence of his the hod) o n f e Charles Co l well, ag e d G o t:y r ' e s ce l i l l o tl s y pital, the laboratory to see how the deceased got on with into his work, when e c m h a e s i t n e i r s t i , t o appeared,f Blackl'ri a t r h 's a -road. o o a n h found him lying asleep, and upon being aroused he fell and struck his head against the floor. lie then left him, and at nine o'clock rung the bell for him to shut up the shop, and receiving no answer he went to see what detained him. Deceased was then lying very ill, and understanding from him that he had taken arsenic, but for what cause he did not state, a surgeon was sent for. Previously to the ar• rival of the surgeon, his master offered him some sul. phate of zinc to counteract the effects of the poison, but for some time, and until he had threatened to use the stomach pump, he refused to take it. His master said he had never observed anything strange in his behaviour to lead him to suppose that deceased was not in his proper senses. Mr. John Ash, house-surgeon, said that deceased was brought to the hospital the same night, and died a few hours after his admission. Several other witnesses were examined, and all agreed that deceased was in his sound senses, and had no cause whatever for committing suicide. The Coroner said it was probable that deceased had taken the poison merely as an expe riment, not knowing what the effect would be. Verdict —" Died from the effect of an irritant poison."
