EVENING EDITION, THE LATE LADY FLORA HASTINGS. The Morning Post, of the 14th inst., devoted half of its columns to a lengthened correspondence between the Marquis of Hastings, Lords Mel bourne, Tavistock, Portman, &c., in relation to the singularly unhappy fate of his ever-to-be-lamented sister. This correspondence includes various letters which have already appeared before the public, and whose republication is manifestly intended to serve and further party purposes of the basest descrip tion. The peculiarly afflicting position of the near and dear relatives of Lady Flora, almost forbids the idea of expecting from them the exercise of calm and sound discretion ; and whilst we regret that the Noble Marquis did not act on the advice of his Grace of Wellington, and whilst we deplore that he has not done more honour to his father's memory than to be a recreant from his statesman-like views in joining the Tory ranks, we feel too much respect for the lacerated feelings of a brother,,honourably and deservedly confiding in the virtue of his sister, not to perceive in the poignancy of his grief an extenuation for all the violence of indignation which he has manifested. Far different are our feelings towards those prostitute defamers, who, for the filthy wages of corruption—for the vilest purposes of the vilest faction, seek to convert a most lamenta ble and unhappy error of opinion, which appear ances rendered wholly unavoidable, into an occasion of party discord and warfare, to be eagerly embraced to brand with dishonour the character of the Court, and through the Court presumptuously and insi diously impugn the motives of our amiable and virtuous Sovereign. We know well the loyalty of Tories out of place. We know how they talk of the noble spirited Queen of these realms. With these Tories out of place, she is a mere child, of whom itis difficult to speak with any degree of temper ; whilst all their anxious looks of lingering love centre in Hanover. We recollect that, in place, when excess of sensual voluptuousness had rendered George the Fourth infinitely a greater child, in point of intellect, these same Tories could not find terms of incense sufficiently expressive of their adoration of their most relig ious and gracious King. Tory adulation was shed on the hoary head of indolence and of sensual indulgence.. Tory vituperation is reserved for a maiden Queen. The ... _ _. child of licentiousness and premature dotage is worshipped—is deified ; the generous independence of youth is vilified ; and all this entirely indepen dent of any other cause in nature than the difference expressed in the expressive little particles of in and out. Times are happily changed, and with the loss of place, loyalty to the Sovereign ceases to be a Tory virtue. Knowing, however, that the unhappy fate of Lady Flora Hastings is to be resuscitated for party purposes, and how busily meddling are the agents and emissaries of Tory strife through out the kingdom, it becomes every honest journalist to assist in disabusing the public mind from those delusions with which the hireling Tory journalis.:s seek to envelope it. Who is there but that bit terly laments the unhappy fate of the innocent, ate virtuous, the talented, the amiable, Lady Flora Ha; t tings ? Is there a monster in human shape so dye prayed as to be insensible to the wretchedness of a fate so deplorable ? Yes' the odious exception is to be found in that base prostitute pander to :an abandoned faction, who, with the malice of a fiend, joined to more than Jewish rapacity for h is dirty wages, regardless of the forgiveness of it e dead, seeks to revive unjust clamour against e living. All loyalty—all truth, is to be intmolato d to vengeance of faction. We lament those ap.- pearances which gave rise to such sad realities. B ixt the ladies of the Court could not shut their eyes to them, and, with the exception of nut revealing their suspicions to the Queet I's illustrious mother, we cannot imagine hi iw such palpable, undeniable appearances cot gld have led to different conduct or to different results. Had such appearances only existed in it to imagination of her accusers, then, and then onl vy could those accusers be justly visited with indignai it censure. T. suppose that the ladies of the Cour , t, and a medical man of the highest character and .rO,l - potation, would gratuitously asperse an innoct.m. young lady, of exalted birth and irreproachaialet character, without the most remote conceivable Eli:- vantage, is to form a still more diabolical esti - mute of human nature, than we, with all our ex - perienee of Tory infamy, ale inclined to arrive a; L. Were not such appearances clearly established— directly admitted, and their cause, at the death o the lamented victim, precisely ascertained ? then, a medical man of undoubted skill, and, up to that period, o of unimpeachable inte grity and humanity, could form an unfavourable opinion from appearances, surely we must acquit the ladies of the Court of anything in the shape of malice, in the truly painful and delicate position ii 3 which they were placed. We no more doubt the: ' sincere regret of the ladies of the Court, and the feel • ingly expressed sorrow of her Majesty, than we do , the unquestionable innocency of the amiable victim to so sad an error of fallible human judgment. It. was an error which no human ingenuity, trusting to the generally received testimony of " seeing is be lieving," could have avoided ; and for which the exalted ladies so malignantly defamed were no more A accountable, than for the cause of it. We cannot, in deed, imagine any means short of those truly painful ones adopted by Lady Flora, which could have averted the consequences of such a dilemma ; for let ua suppose, that Lady Flora in the conscious ness of virtuous innocency had retired into the bosom of her family, can we imagine that the indignant feelings of a brother, at the bare idea of such sus picions having been for a moment entertained, could. have remained passive until death had demonstrated_ ( the fallacy of such suspicions ? Lady Flora thought, and thought rightly, that her injured honour re quired instant reparation ; and let us indulge the. I hope, that the unfeigned sorrow of those wh o h a d_ ) been so u n h a ppily led into unavoidable error, af forded some balm to her wounded spirit ; and that the pains taken by her Majesty to vindicate her in nocence were not wholly devoid of a soothing influ ence, on a fate so singularly unhappy, an d so preg ' nant in enjoining caution in the exercise of the fal lible judgments of humanity.—North Devon Journal. TORY IDOLS. (From the Examiner.) When Maroto, in a late address to his soldiers, said, " Men are not bronze," he certainly ought to have excepted the men who write for the Times. Never, indeed, did they prove themselves more worthy of such exception than on Tuesday last ; never was exhibited in the pillory, or even in the Times, a front of such surpassing effrontery. There is an impudence that, in its excess, amounts almost to genius ; hence the Times has claims upon the curious. Having so often swallowed its own words, it has now a stomach for anything ; and we look upon its daily shifts with the same serenity that we watch the fire-eating mountebank, knowing full well that the rogue is not in earnest, that he cares not for our sympathies, but our shillings ; not for our credence, but for ready money. Maroto has sold Don Carlos. There can be no doubt of the fact, for the Times avers it ; more, names the price of the bargain, a sum wandering between a hundred and a hundred and fifty thousand pounds. The Times has seen the money paid, and writes with the ring of the sovereigns still in its ears ; and yet, simple, guileless people as we are, we wonder where the gold goes If, however, Maroto have received so great a sum, we cannot marvel at the indignation of the Times. That any political per fidy, in which, strange to say, the Times has no share, should be so handsomely rewarded, stirs the bitterness of its envy. We do not think it likely th at Lewis Caspar and Emmanuel Moses rejoice very much at the fortunate escape of gold-dust Solomons. Even 'the Times has its human weakness. Poor Maroto! The Times has turned him inside out ; but then the Times has done the same by all its former favourites. It excels in giving any shape to anything. We know only one instance of a succes ful rivalry with this peculiar faculty of the writers in the Times. The reader may possibly accord with us, if, in his street walks, he may have witnessed the adroit legerdemain of a man who, by means of one and the same sheet of paper—and that not so ex p ansive as the Times—makes, with wonderful dex te city, a hundred different objects. " Now, " says the paper conjuror, " It is a lady's fan, and now a Chancellor's wig—now an easy chair, and now a chest of drawers—now a fender for the fire, and now a sofa to lie down upon ;" and still, at the word, the paper takes these shapes. So with the Times : "Now," it cries, "you behold a patriot, and now a traitor—now a miracle of honesty, and now a public thief—now a very Solomon, and now a Balaam's ass—now the only states man who can save us, and • now a driveller to be im peached ;" and all one and the same man, and all exhi bited in the pliant paper of the Times. So with Maroto : he was the admired, the lauded of the Times, and is consequently become, upon the same authority, "a treapherous murderer." The Tories are shocked at the immorality, the trea chery, of Maroto. The Times weeps Bobadil drops of fire, and the orthodox Standard, like Flood's kan garoo, wrings its " short fore-paws" in an agony of grief, that Carlos, the pet of the monks, the especial darling of bigotry, the last forlorn hope of fiercest ig norance, is rejected from the kingdom he would shroud in moral darkness, and scourge with most religious hate. The Tories, however, have cause to mourn. We can sympathise even with Lord Londonderry, departed, as the Post informs us, for Lisbon (where, it is to be hoped, the slave-dealers will honour bim with a sere nade), when he shall let fail" some natural tears" in the Tagus for the fate of the legitimate King. It is hard to be robbed of our idols ; and the Tories have of late been sadly despoiled of both their public and their household gods. This—this is the rankling wound. Idols, it is evident, are becoming scarce ; hence a blue monkey or two that, when false gods abounded, might have been spared from the Tory Pan theon, are now bound by the very heart-strings of the faithful. How short the time since Don Miguel— that ape with the golden tooth—was remorselessly torn from the affectionate hugging of the Tories, to improve his time, quail-shooting, at Ronne ! Like Rachel weeping, the Tories would not for a long time be comforted ; at length they took heart, and found consolation in Carlos. He became to them as a champion, fighting their fight on his own soil —the adopted of Toryism, making his cause good in the blood of his countrymen, and fighting the path to the throne of legitimacy by the blazing cottages of the poor. Murder and havoc—" time out of mind" legi timacy's servants—have done their best, and yet—Don Carlos is in France 1 Ed io anche sono in Arcadia .1 The Tories must worship something. The English Constitution was their idol , but some years have elapsed since Lord Grey took their darling from the pedestal—where, like " the statue that enchants the world," it stood in ail s graceful purity—and so bedizened and so painted the image, that her former worshippers have turned from her to seek new gods abroad. These, too are failing ; and, with every benevolent wish to point out some thing to be adored by the party, we cannot hit upon any promising iniquity worthy, as the advertisements have it, of instant attention. The place of action is rather remote, and not very extensive ; yet, unless our memory trip, we think, by the last accounts, Toryism was looking; , up at Owyhee. Certain, how ever, is it, that it is dead in Spain ; its obsequies to be performed by . thousands of bigots, cowled and uncowled, in sackcloth and ashes, and in blood stained suits, with ignorance and rapine howling in the train, and, bring up the rear, the representatives—if they can be found—of the Standard and the Post, with Punch in cloak and hatband, and Spanish onion to his a ye, as proxy for the Times. A former Carlos of Spain caused his funeral ser vie e to be performed whilst he was yet in the flesh. The• present Carlos is politically dead, and will make the best atonement for the past evils by com manding his political obsequies. As he were wrapt in lead, and deposited in the Escurial, is Carlos now to Spain. This, we repeat, is a sad blow for the Tories ; however, even now, we spy hope for them. They are not wholly bereaved. Though banished from Spain, there is yet a resting-place for them in Hanover. Car los is in France, but King Ernest yet sits on the neck of a Constitution. Though they may not visit Madrid, they may congregate at Hanover ; though ilut out from the King of Spain, they may meet and t alk " precious mischief " at the White Horse. But Maroto—the pestilent Maroto! That he sl could have listened to the voice of the charmer, and th e sound of Espartero's artillery, and hare sighed for pe. ace ! We fancy the indignant Times putting itself in .the place of Carlos, and exclaiming, with the unfor -1 tuna to illacheath, " That Jemmy Twitcher should have peached me, I own, surprises me !"

It may be desirable to know the amount of the com merce and navigation of these flourishing States which. under Universal Suffrage or a Suffrage nearly so, and having their elections chiefly by Ballot in every State ; their representatives to the Assembly of each State, and also to the General Congress paid salary for their services, and being elected without any other qualifica tion than that of being an elector, that is ,he who can vote for a Representative, may be himself elected. The Chartists in England ask for nothing more than the people of the United States have for many years enjoyed ; and yet we find that property is as well pro tected as in England—that every man is better paid for his labour there than in this country—and the work ing men have food and every necessary of life in abun dance. Why, then, should the richer classes in England be afraid of granting to the industrious classes in England the civil institutions and privileges which produce so much happiness and so great prosperity to millions in the United States ? Why, when privation, suffering, and discontent are spread over the land of England under our aristocratic system of monopoly and exclusion, should we hesitate to adopt what experience has taught us has done so much good in the United States? COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION OF THE UNITED STATES. An Abstract of the last official Annual Statement of the Commerce and Navigation of the United States : IMPORTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING SEPT. 30, 1838.

It will be observed that while the imports of 1837-8, are less by 27,000,000 dollars than in 1836-7, the exports aye less by only 9,000,000 dollars more. This looks like getting out of debt. The tonnage of Ame rican shipping which entered in 1837-8 is greater than in 1836-7, by 3,254 tons, while the foreign tonnage is less by 173,593 tons. This, again, is a favourable indication fo: the United States. The actual tonnage owned in the United States has increased within the year, from 1,296,68 J tons, to 1,994,798; or 98,113 tons. Rather less tonnage was built in 1837-8 than in 1836-7. PROGRESS OF THE COTTON TRADE IN THE UNITED STATES OF NORTH AMERICA. We have not the returns of imports of Indigo from the East Indies before us, but the enormous increase I which took place in the import of that article into Gre.;:t I Britain has been looked to as the most extraordinary increase of any one article on record in the annals of oui commerce ; but we would call the attention of the public to the increase of growth and of exports of cotton in the United States as something still more remarkable, and, in some of the results, calculated to make the reflecting Englishman consider how the millions depending on the cotton trade in England are to be provided for, if, by our Corn-laws, we force that country to continue tin tariff against England, and thereby foster the cotton manufacture to become not only sufficient for the supply of all the States of the Union, but also to become the manufacturers for South America, now our best cus tomers. It requires the serious consideration of tho statesman who wishes to preserve the commerce 0: Great Britain, to remove as speedily as he can all plea from the United States to continue their heavy duties against English manufactures. The tariff, which begat; in 1822, will expire in 1844, and we have it in our power to abolish all those Customs' duties in these State::, which have injured our trade, and forced into existence a very profitable trade in New England in cotton ar.d other articles. We have the Southern States of Nortl America with us, demandine , a free import of Britist, manufactures ; and if we abolish our Corn-laws, we may besatisfied that the general Congress, having no longer any plea or pretence for continuing the tariff, would be unable to renew the present heavy tax on British manufactures, The benefits would be mutual to all the Southern anti Western States of the Union, and to the people this country, and therefore most desirable. The cot ton trade had no existence in the United States until the tariff was established, and we know from o.oe statement of our Ambassador at Washington at that time, that it was the continuance of our Corn-laws whieb induced them to lay on the heavy duties on our cot tons and• woollens, which have forced into existence the flourishing manufactures of New England, and dt prived England of the means of employing many thou sands of workmen, and.the manufacturers of millions of profit. The people of Great Britain are ignorant of the deep root which the manufactures have taken in the United States since the tariff was imposed, and we will state as an example, Lowell, only one manufacturing village, where in this year, in July last, there were upwards of nine millions of dollars invested in 28 mills in acti%e operation, exclusive of print works, 163,404 spindles, and 5,094 looms, requiring 890 bales of cotton weekly, or 46,280 bales in the year, manufacturing 1,061,230 yards of various descriptions, of which 255,000 yards are printed, giving employment to 2,077 males, and 6,470 females. When we consider that those extensive and flouri.A ing works were all commenced in 1822, after the passing of the tariff, we may easily guess the extent of the manufacture in the Union. We think the state of the Cotton produce, consump tion, and export will in figures tell better than we eZ.I3 by words the great increase, yearly augmenting : In 1798, the export of Cotton from the United States was 1,900,0001b5. ; in 1819 it was 87,997,0451b5. In 1830 it was 298,459,1021b5. and in value was 30 millions of dollars. The amount exported in the year ending with Sept., 1838, was 639,000,0001b5., being 98,000,000115. for home consumption ; the year's crop may be stated at 720,000,000 lbs. So that, from 1798 to 1838, a period of forty years, the increase has been from less than 2,000,000 to 720,000,000 of pounds of produc- ; evd the machinery and manufactures have increased ill the same extraordinary degree, since 1822. We think, when large portions of our workmen are out of work, and famine, from the mismanagement of our currency .and from the weather, threatens the worst re sults, that it behoves the Ministers to look out in time, and by the repeal of the Corn-laws, and all other laws which interfere with the commerce of the country, an d foster and encourage the manufactures of other countries, to provide employment for the millions, who will other wise suffer all the horrors of want and misery. Nt' e ask the capitalists and men of property, whether they can see all this go on quietly, and not join the Govern ment in their attempts, as we hope, to remove all these impediments? We say again, that the soundest policy, and the dic tates of humanity, call on every Englishman to demand the repeal of the Corn-laws, if it were only to promote our commercial intercourse with the United Stat_`s. We may here notice, that a new species of cotton has been discovered in Alabama. The Southern Ari culturist says that it grows much taller than the corm; 00 plant, and bears a number of short lateral branches nn Y four or five inches in length, and bearing twin pods or ciw ters of 312 or seven pods on each branch. The cotton is finer than any other kind of short staple, commands four or five cents more, and the product is very much more abot,d ant. The plant, with leaves like other cotton, resembles the okra in other respects, and in rich land will react a height of eight or nine feet. The seed is not yet in general use, and the small quantity to be had sells at very prices. It ripens earlier than the other cotton, and stands a bettAr chance, therefore, of escaping the worm, which is veryl Istructive to late crops in the south-west. GOLD AND SILVER COINAGE IN THE UNITED STATES OF NORTH AMERICA. Whilst we hear so much of currency in England and in the United States, it may be matter of curiosity to our readers in England to know what has been doin:.: in coinage in the United States, and what supplies of the precious metals they have had from the mines in ti:eir own States. We are enabled to afford that information by the following extract from the Merchant s for July, published at New York : UNITED STATES MINT—COINAGE FOR 1835.—The Di• rector of the Mint, Dr. Patterson, has made his annual report of the operations of the Mint and its branches for the year 1838, from which we extract the following particul,trg, viz.:-1. Whole amount of Mold coinage is 1,809,595 dol lars. Of the above quantity 7,200 pieces were in eag ies 286,588 pieces were in half eagioti; and 47,030 pieces :ere iu quarter eagles. Total native builion deposited, 4;.;5 100 dollars. 2. The whole amount of silver coined is 2,333,2.13 &l iars, of which the whole was coined at Philadelphia, ,x -eept 40,243 dollars in dimes, at New Orleans, the ollier branch mints being not yet authorised to coin silver, tir,! Bi;1 which passed the Senate to authorise them to coin silver change not haying passed the House of Representa tive, and being now in the Senate. From this it will he seen that the total coinage of the Mint and branches, in gold and silver, i s 4 , 1 42,838 dollars. Besides this, the copper coinage amounted to 63,702 dol lars ; making a totality of 4,206,540 dollars.

ABSENCE OF ALDERMEN FROM THE CENTRAL CRIMI NAL COURT. Alderman COPELAND requested to be informed whe ther the Sheriffs had any representation to make on the non-attendance of Aldermen at the Central Criminal Court, during any part of the session about to be con cluded ? Sheriff JOHNSON said he was far from being in the habit of complaining. Indeed, in the event of a failure of attendance upon the part of any member of the Court, the deficiency was so instantly supplied, that he had had no occasion to say anything upon the subject at any former period. The absence of a member from the Court on Saturday last, however, had drawn forth such animadversions in the public prints, and so much incon venience had been complained of, that although he (Sheriff Johnson) did not come to the Court of Alder men to make any representation, he could not help stating that the public business was impeded by the ab sence of a member for an hour. The LORD MAYOR said that he had no private com plaint to make of the condu c t o f any mem b er o f t h e Court ; he certainly had a complaint to make upon public grounds. Saturday last happened to be a public day with the Lord Mayor, and it was his duty to attend Christ Church. lie was ready to set off from the Man sion-house to be present at divine service at the usual hour, when information was brought to him that the Central Criminal Court could not proceed with business for want of an Alderman. It was ne cessary for him to state that on a former occasion the Judges had privately complained to him of the non-attendance of the Aldermen on the rota, and he replied that he certainly would bring the subject before the Court. He accordingly wrote to the absent members to come to town. The course he adopted on Saturday was to proceed at once to the Central Cri minal Court himself, instead of going to Christ Church, and there he remained till one o'clock, or the public business must have stood still. He regretted the oc currence very much, and he put it to the Court whe ther it was not incumbent upon them to adopt some strong measure to prevent future inconvenience of the kind.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman VENABLES said he was aware that he was the member alluded to as having infringed the arrange ment of the rotation. He regretted the circumstance very much, but he had gone out of town with his family, and had not the least idea that his presence at the Cen tral Criminal Court would have been necessary. 11 trusted lie need not say t hat no member of this Court attended more closely than he did to his duties.—(Loud cries of " Hear.") His absence on the recent occasion originated entirely in mistake. He lamented that the public, to whose business the Court of Aldermen was bound most strictly to attend, should have sufferee inconvenience, and he should take care that the error should not be repeated.—(Hear, bear.) With respect to the letter which the Lord Mayor had sent after him, he bad not received that com munication, as he was tra velling from place to place. The LORD MAYOR made some observations upon the duties of his office, which he said did not comprehend the obligation to send for Aldermen to supply the place:: of those who might be absent. Alderman COPELAND said it was most desirable that, for the sake of the public, all chance of future inconve nience arising from such a cause should be obviated. He trusted that measures would be resorted to which the regular attendance of members wou!d be se cured. He should submit a motion to meet the object. Alderman VENABLES declared that he would rnos willingly second any proposition calculated to answer such an end. Perhaps it would he most desirable to refer the matter at once to a Committee. Alderman COPELAND observed that he was prepared to show strong grounds for some effective regulation for the attainment of punctual attendance. Alderman VENAELES again expressed regret at the inconvenience to which the public had been subjected by his oversight, and he again appealed to the Court whether he did not punctually attend to his duties. The appeal was responded to by every member of the Court, and there were those behind the bar who could testify as strongly as the members themselves to the punctuality, zeal, and unwearied exertions of the gen tleman who in this one instance fell into an error. Sir W. HEYGATE entirely concurred in the propo sition for referring the whole question to a Select Committee, by whom he trusted such arrangements would be made as would prevent the recurrence of any inconvenience. The Court had the power, he believed. of imposing fines amongst themselves, and that would probably materially remedy the evil, at the same time he must say that no care or exertion could p r event casual failure of attendance, arising from illness, accident, or other circumstance, to which the most healthy and the most activ: were exposed in common with the rest of mankind.-- (Hear, hear.) Alderman Venables had always been distinguished by his punctuality and attention ; yet even he had forgotten, whilst on a journey, the duty in ques tion Such an accident might and ought to be provided for, by regulations amongst themselves. With respect to the general performance of the duties of the City Magistrates, no duties, he must say, had for cen turies been performed with so much iadependence and satisfaction to the City, and not only at no cost to the public, but at a considerable loss to the individuals. Others who served the public either received large salaries, or did not hold themselves bound to particular hours and days of attendance. The Houses of Lords and Commons, if he might venture to allude to them, containing more than five huntired members each, oft 11 could not make a quorum, although one of them re quired only four or five, and the other forty, small as either number was in proportion to that of the Court of Aldermen which required thirteen members out of, twenty-six to enable them to act as a body.—(Hear.) He did not say this to throw blame on them or to dis parage the advantage of a magistracy chosen by then fellow citizens and consisting of men for the most part engaged in the trade of the country. The disadvantages arising from that circumstance might be provided for and the advantages preserve d.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman HARMER thought that some arrangement might be made by which the paid officers of the Cor poration, who ar e i n th e cot om i ss i on o f th e C en t ra l Cri minal Court, might attend and considerably ease the Aldermen whose duty had 'hi icome exceedingly laborious. Sir PETER LAURIE would not suggest anything of the kind. He had his apprehensions of the introduc tion of paid substitutes for the City of London Ma gistrates. He certainly was of opinion that those who were incapable of performing the duties of the situation by age or infirmities ought to retire, for their incapa bility threw an enormous weight upon their brethren. Alderman HARMER—The Central Criminal Court ought not to be obliged to .:top in its functions, and our paid officers might occasion ally act in the event of any extraordinary emergency. The whole question was then, upon the motion of Alderman Copeland, seconded by Alderman Venables, referred to a Committee of the whole Court.—Ad journed. m•• The St. George Steam-packet Company's steam ship Sirius arrived off the Le,ndon Docks on Monday, at twc o'clock, from St. Petersburg h, having performed the voy_ age in eight day s , includir , g detention at Copenhagen.

SINGULAR CASE OF SUFFOCATION.—O n Saturday morning an inquPst was held at the Red Lion, Kensington, on the body c Frances Cooper, whose death was or.casioned in rather a : singular manner. It appeared that the deceased, who wa s an elderly woman, had been afflicted fi.or some years past with a pain in her throat, for which she had medical ad , rice, but to no avail. Having obtained some relief from t he introduction of the handle of a spoon down her t!nr oat when the pain was at its height, she purchased an ies strument called a probang, and with it was i n th e fr e e uent h a bit of operating upon her. se lf .

THE HARVEST We resume our extracts ti oat the country papers. YORIESHIRE.—A great deal of harvest work has been done in the north of England during the present week, but it has been more in the fields than in the stack-yards. The reaping, except on the cold and high lands, has become very general. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Mon day, and Tuesday were all very wet days—so much so that the rivers throughout Great Britain and Ireland have been swelled in many cases to overflowing. A favourable change took place in the weather on Tues day night, and Wednesday, Thursday, and yesterday were all tolerably favourable for cutting, if not for carrying the corn. The wind still remains in the south. and the sunshine is only in gleams ; but on the whole the harvest is making tolerable progress, and ,ind a good deal of grain is secured, if not in high, yet in fair condition. In most of the wheat-fields there are sprit ears, and in some of them, where the hedges are high, and the ventilation imperfect, the mis chief already done is considerable ; but from our own observation, we should not say that in Yorkshire and Lancashire this is by any means general, and a fort night of fine weather would yet save the harvest. It cannot, however, be denied that we are in the midst of a crisis of great public importance, and that the fate of millions of property, consisting of the necessaries of life, and the comforts of the poor and the rich for a whole year, depend upon fair or foul weather from this time to the end of the present month.—Leeds Mercury. KENDAL.—It is impossible for us to advert to the state of the weather in Kendal of late without deep concern. The rain for six weeks has fallen almost in cessantly, and during the present week there has not passed a day without the most drenching showers. Every brook and rivulet is overflowed, and our river is swollen much beyond its usual height. As to the crops, it is feared they will be much less than an average, and poor in quality.— Westnzoreland Gazette. DURHAM.—We have had two or three comparatively fine days since our last, but there has been a decided preponderance of wet. The crops are, in many places, fast becoming fit for cutting ; but but the operations of the reaper have been subjected to great interruption by the changes in the weather. The demand for shearers has been very great, and wages are consequently high. —Durham chronicle. WINDSOL—We are thankful to say, that notwith standing the unfavourable weather of late, the corn in this part of the country has been got in remarkably well, the crops being good, and in general well housed.— IVindsor Journal. DERBYSHIRE.—We regret to state that the harvest in this neighbourhood has been greatly retarded, owing to the very heavy fall of rain, which commenced on Friday se'nnight, and continued, with little intermission, until Sunday morning, when it cleared up, and the sun began to shine. About noon, however, the rain again descended in torrents, and did not cease during the cehole of the night. The low grounds in the neigh bourhood of Chesterfield were almost all inundated, the rivers were largely swollen, and the roads from Ches terfield leading to Derby and Mansfield were nearly as deep in water as they were during the floods a few weeks ago, when so many of the hay crops were de :troyed and swept away. The weather has since been .enerally fine, although showers have occasionally fallen, nd the sickle is now in full operation. Considerable 3jury_ has been caused to the crops in the neighbour- tood by the rain ; and we hear but indifferent accounts 'rom the surrounding districts.—Derbyshire Courser. WILTSHIRE.—The most gloomy appr' hensions are ntertained for the fate of the harvest. On many arms in the northern part of this county, the greater ,art of the wheat crop is still unhoused ; and in some laces not a single acre of barley has been secured. The :cattier continues unpropitious, and the grain becomes Laily more deteriorated in colour and in quality. The .larvest in tho more forward districts, we fear, will be tit from realising: the expectations entertained a few weeks cgo.—Devizes Gazette. BATA.—The weather of the past week has been de . trimental to the bcn ley to a very serious extent : what ,vas cut in the latter part of the preceding week will be unfit for making, and the continued unsettled state ,f the weather gives us every reason to expect a further Advance in the market. We have had no harvest day luring the last week, until Saturday, which was a :,ropitious day.—Bath Journal. IRELAND. —Thy past couple of days have continued tine, and we have reason to believe that an immense quantity of all sorts of grain has been secured. We are Happy to hear that in many districts the wheat has not suffered so much as people at first supposed, from the unexampled severity of the weather. The district rang from Kilkenny to Kildare has suffered very much ; but, as we stated in a former number, the wheat grown on the large tract of country around Limerick, and stretching along on either side of the Shannon to Per tumna, has generally escaped safe from malt. The ex treme south of Ireland, too, appears to have got over be bad weather better than the midland district ; but me fear much that in every district a large admixture of Foreign wheat will be _required to mix with our own 4 rowth. We are told, indeed, that extenvive orders Nave gone out to the Continental and American corn markets for wheat, and that freights of ships have risen :20 per cent. in consequence.—Dublin Since our last notice of the weather, on Tuesday, we have been blessed on the whole with a continued favour lble change. A few showers have fallen, but they have not been to the extent to interrupt the harvest opera tions in those parts where the crops were sufficiently ripe for the sickle. There is nothing new to communi. sate. The Wheat will be a short crop ; all accounts concur upon that point ; the Barley and the Oats are very promising, and the Potatoes were never in finer condition or more abundant supply.—Cork Reporter of Saturday. SCOTLAND.—The damage done by the rain to the crop generally, is very great. The grain has been seri ously damaged, and the hopes of the country as to the result of the harvest have been almost dashed to the ground. The weather has been since better, but is still rather wet, and the welfre of the country with regard to cheap and abundant food is still at stake. The crops are good ; but if the weather continue in the same state as it has done for a month past, scarcity or famine is sure to overtake us.—Edinburgh Chronicle. THE GREAT STORM in SCOTLAND. The accounts from Scotland, contained in the Scotch papers, as we have already stated, represent the late floods to have been very extensive, and extremely destructive in their effects to the outstanding crops. Bridges were, in several instances, broken down, and all kinds of out door property was swept away or damaged. There is, however, only one instance of loss of life recorded, which occurred at Ruthven, near Auchterarder. During the whole of last week the weather had kept dry, with the exception of a slight shower on Wed nesday morning, which retarded harvest work for a few hours only ; but on Thursday the barometer began to fall, and continued low during the whole of Friday, although it was as fine a day as ever graced the month of September. The evening set in, however, clear and cold, with the appearance of frost. On Saturday morning, when we opened our eyes, it was to behold a very different prospect,' for the clouds were pouring down in torrents, and the country was not only drenched, but deluged with rain from the surcharged canopy, borne to cur district upon the wings of a south east wind, and having reached us, it seemed to rest right over our heads, pouring out an incessant heavy rain, which continued for thirty hours without intermis sion, commencing about five on Saturday morning, and continuing till mid-day on Sabbath, with occasional and rather lengthened heavy showers until Monday morning. Nor has it ceased falling in occasional showers up till this date. The rain was accompanied during Saturday with a strong wind, and at night it increased into a furious storm, which roared and rumbled during the hours of darkness with impetuous rage, rendering it quite impossible to remain out of doors to collect the produce of the harvest field, which in some localities was carried away by the roaring flood in one simultaneous heap of irretrievable ruin. During the whole of Sunday sheaves of grain were seen floating down the Forth in great numbers, and boats were out in several directions endeavouring to save it, and much of it was dragged ashore. So numerous were these about mid-day, that a person standing upon one of the bridges counted upwards of 110 at one time between the two bridges, a distance of not more than 150 yards. They consisted principally of oats and barley from the uplands, although we have beard of several patches of ground having been cleared by the river in the carses, but these, we are glad to say amount to but little. The Allan has, so far as we have heard, been the chief agent in this destruction above Stirling. In rolling through Btrathallan it has carried away the produce of whole fields ; and we have heard of one farmer, at Greenloaning, who has had seven acres completely cleared, together with a large quantity of lime, although the ground, as we learn, was em barked. Many others have lost less or more. But other products of the field have been lost besides grain, for calves, sheep, and swine were observed floating down the river. About 600 trees laid down at Bluebank, upon the estate of the Earl of Moray, were also borne away by the current. Numbers of wheelbarrows, and even a plough, were observed in a similar predicament. Indeed, the havoc seems to be very general, and there is very little prospect of the weather clearing up. On Monday afternoon there was some very loud thunder, which some think a good omen, Six or eight weeks alp Scotland, especially in this district, never presented a more cheerful appearance ; but now all appears one universal waste, and an ex tended scene of desolation—the work of only a few days. But the appearance, bad as it is, is not the worst of this serious matter, for the reality is fast becoming worse than the appearance. Wheat and barley are both springing in the stook, and our utter helplessness can do no nothing b u t l oo k on . The result of this is, as might have been expected, our bakers, some of whom have not bought a quarter of wheat for many months past, anticipating a good harvest, are now hastening t o the bonded warehouse to purchase foreign wheat, b, - cause they see now that the home grown article will prove inferior in quality. This will be a severe blow to the wheat-growing farmer, after three so bad years as ' he has just passed over with so much difficulty.—Cale donian Mercury. During the whole of Saturday last we had the wind from E. to E.N.E., hazy, and with a heavy ground swell, which generally indicates an approaching gale on the east coast of Scotland. Towards midnight the haze thicken e d, an d b y fi ve, A.M., on S un d ay, i t bl ew a violent gale, the rain falling in torrents. By noon, the wind was due east, the storm raging with dreadful violence. In the afternoon several vessels were seen in the offing, labouring hard to clear the headlands, and evidently anxious to open the Friths on either tack. The sloop Lilias, Cowie, from Shields to Port soy, with coals, made very bad weather, and, getting more closely embayed than any of the others, had to attempt the harbour at a great risk. The little craft, however, behaved wonderfully well, took the bar with much more ease than could have been expected, and stemmed the current of the Dee without any assistance from shore. With the ex ception of the loss of part of her bulwarks and some moveables on deck, no other damage was sustained. There was a good deal of jerking among the vessels in the harbour generally, but no injury was sustained beyond the chafing of a few ropes at the Lower Basin. The rivers Dee and Don were now rolling tremendously ; and from the immense quantities of corn, hay, turnips, and other agricultural produce which were coming down, it became but too painfully evident that the work of de vastation had been going on at a sad rate in the upper districts. Towards night several dead sheep came down the Dee, and a good deal of alarm was excited by the appearance of some thatch and barnyard implements floating in the river. From this it was conjectured that the flood had extended to some of the steadings on the river side ; and, in view of the fact that the water was now within ten inches of the flood-mark of 1829, at the Bridge of Dee, such a conjecture was but too well grounded. The storm took off towards Mon day morning, when the sky cleared up, and the wind went three points to the south-east, moderating gra dually. But the scene which now presented itself along the beach for several miles was truly heart-rending. Nothing was to be seen, as far as the eye could reach, but farm produce, trees, and brushwood ; and on exa mining some of the corn it was found to have been torn out by the roots from the field. The rivers settled down by Tuesday, but even yet they have not fallen to their wonted level. From the accounts which hare reached us the damage done has been immense, and many a poor family who last week were looking forward with plea sure to a comfortable winter are this week realising, in all the bitterness of the sentiment, " a blank in nature.' It is impossible as yet to ascertain the actual amount of injury done by this storm and flood.—Aberdeen Herald. EVENING EDITION HOP INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE.--Picking is now in full force, but the rainy weather has been particularly unfavourable both for the pickers and the hops. In some grounds great complaints exist of the ravages of mould, and if the hops are not picked very quickly, of which there is little prospect, many are expected to rot on the poles. In the " crack" grounds the weight for quantity is generally short, and the bad weather cannot but materially affect the sample. HORSMONDEN.—The weather has been unfavourable, particularly for the backward hops. In this parish, pick ing is general, with a great complaint as to their weight- We get our first very handsome, but without a change in the weather the rest must rot on the poles in another week. LAMBERHURST AND GOUDHURST.—Picking is now pretty general, but the hops are much battered by the late winds, and weigh light. There is very little ap pearance of mould. TICEHURST, ETCHINGHAM, AND EURWASIL—The picking is general, except in a few backward grounds. Where they have escaped the late severe gales, the samples will be bright and good. The plantations will be more productive than was at first anticipated, but so far as weighing has taken place, they require about eighty bushels to the cwt. Duty 220,000/. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
