THE HARVEST.—The accounts of the potato are gene rally less unfavourable; but some, from Tipperary and Wexford especially, are quite disheartening. A letter froth Nenagh says--" The potato crop is more than half gone in this neighbourhood." On the other hand, a letter from Macroom mentions that the potato fields in that quarter, since the heavy rain, are again wearing a healthy appearance. The Cork Reporter has an account to the same effect from Blarney, where, it is stated, " several field's in which the symptoms of disease had ap peared have since the rain of the last few days begun to look healthy once more, and the diseased stalks to ac quire new verdure." Altogether the reports are more favourable than might have been expected, as regards the cereal as well as the potato crops. Wheat is deficient in most parts of the southern and midland counties; but appears to be a pretty fair crop in Down and other norther counties. Oats are everywhere a very fine crop. ►SUICIDE OF A MILITARY OFFICER.—CoIoneI Beau champ, an officer of long and distinguished service in the Peninsula, but for some years retired from the army, committed suicide at an hotel in Dawson-street, on Sun day last, in a fit of temporary insanity, produced by a severe attack of erratic gout.

THE CUM-STREET SAVINGS BANK CASE.—Yester day the City grand jury found true bills against John Emanuel Hughes for embezzlement, as cashier of the Cuffe-street Savings Bank. ATTACK ON A CLERGYMAN IN THE MARINERS' elluacn.—On Sunday, during the performance of Divine worship in the Mariners' Church, Kingstown, a woman, whore name was subsequently ascertained to be Sarah . Mares, entered the church mentioned, and took her seat near the reading desk. In a short time after she stood up and exclaimed, while the Rev. John Massy • was reading, " Siloice, sir ! Why do you lead the people astray, having no sacrifice ?" and rushing on suddenly, she made a blow at his head with a stick, which he avoided by a sudden movement. She made three other blows at him ix f,,re she could be seized upon, when she was removed from the church in custody (..f a constable. The congregation was greatly alarmed, and the worship was interrupted for a con , siderable time. She was brought up in custody on Mon day, before Mr. Wyse, at the policy-office, Kiustowo, when upon the examination of witnesses it was ascer tained that she was labouring under the effects of in sanity. She pleaded guilty—uttered some incoherent sentences evincing disappointment at not accomplishing the act she intended to perpetrate, and on the informa tion of the Rev. Mr. Massy, who only desired to have her placed under protection, she was committed, with the view to her removal to a lunatic asylum. She declared . she wai a Roman Catholic, and had a mission to root out error.—Saunders's News Letter. DUBLIN STOCK AND SHARE MARKET.—SRIPB yester day—Three per Cent.

DANIEL SMITH and SON will SUBMIT to AUCTION, at the Mart, on TIIISDAY, August 20, at Twelve (unless an acceptable offer shall be previously made by private treaty), The above remarkably choice and most valuable FREEHOLD Et,TATE, comprising, in a perfect ring fence, about 1,150 acres of exceedingly rich grazing land (capable of fatting the largest bullocks), with a range of luxuriant meadows intersected by the river, and a fine breadth of sound fertile arable land, the greater part in the hands of first-class tenants, and, with little exception, in the finest state of cultivation. The mansion (of which possession may be had) stands upon a gentle rise, close to the beautiful little church of Brooksby, surrounded by some , exceedingly rich park-like paddocks, studded with very handsome timber, and beautiful springs of water. The manor of Brooksby, with an extensive fishery, also the perpe tual advowson of the rectory, with the right of next presentation, are attached to the estate, rendering it altogether a most complete and desirable property. From its extraordinary sound, deep rich soil, and from its being subject to comparatively trifling poor-rates (the population of Brooksby rot exceeding ten or twelve persons), and exonerated of land-tax and tithes, it is an unusually eligible and c oice estate as an investment; and, being in the midst of several favourite hunts, and within a short ride of Leicester, with a railway station adjoining the estate, bringing it within four hours' journey of London, and connecting it with most parts of England, it is also a most attractive and desirable residential property. The estate may be viewed by application to Mr. Simpkin, the principal tenant, and descriptive particulars with plans may be eh tamed of Messrs. Delmar and Wynne, solicitors, 46, Lincoln's Inn- fields ; or of Messrs. Daniel Smith and Son, Land Agents, in Wa terloo-plaee, Pall• mall.

Yesterday morning an adjourned General Court of Commissioners was held at Greek-street, in pursuance of a requsition signed by three of the Commissioners — Sir J. Burgoyne, Mr. Hardwick, and Mr. T. Hawes —" for the purpose of adopting the report and plan of the engineer with respect to the drainage of the south side of the river, and to take such measures thereon as may be deemed necessary for carrying the same into effect." • In consequence of the number of Commissioners c, succeeded yuboaoaecesmmscst purpose mnoeeuorn d di rdtse i ep ffi sa. dooiyocsp Commissioner, eni the l noir t re y f, utsochenabonetntui making tadl meantime announcing aeini delayfna .being summoned p required to constitute a court (six out of the twelve) patssh i tts the attendance a trt:f c auet _:eterea.tl Burgoyne, messenger eoe o ui rr n r aare a gdnnd l heco l d y al eynal tufnyh.emope.ufnabnseotat ri n nle . dispatched lolhy experienced. ahvf eeofn Dawson, Capt. Harness, Mr. Hawes, Viscount Ebrington took the chair; the other Com missionersand Mr. Lewes. 'The CHAIRMAN moved, pursuant to notice given, Mr. Hardwick, Captain " That the order of the Special Court of Sewers of the 29th of August, 1849, be rescinded." The order has reference to the flushing operations carried on under the authority of the Commissioners; and the report as to their proceedings, now produced, would be received and laid before Parliament in a few days, probably on Thursday next. . • The Secretary then read-the following report:— " Pursuant to the resolution of the general committee, that I should forthwith make a r e t urn t o the order of the Special Court of Sewers of the 29th of August, 1849, as far as the materials for such return were already di gested and arranged, I beg to report to the Court the stage to which the inquiry directed by that Order has advanced. The duty imposed upon me by the order in question was to prepare an account in detail of all the expenditure of and incident to the flushing works done since the opening of the Commission of November, 1847, and of all the work done for such expenditure and under whose direction, showing the' length of the sewers cleansed and, as nearly as may be, the quantity in cubic yards of soil removed by such flushing from its original place of deposit to its place of final discharge from the sewers, and to report thereon to the Court, with such r e marks as might enable the Court to form an opinion' as to the propriety of such expenditure. In order to ascer tain th e most convenient mode of conducting the in quiry upon the passing of the order referred to, I pro ceeded to read the several reports made upon the subject by the surveyors, examine the contracts, returns, and pay-sheets, and conferred with several of the officers of the Commission and with others, with a view to acquaint myself with the general nature of the flushing opera tions and the successive changes which the system had undergone during the period mentioned in the order. This preliminary investigation led me to the opinion that the most convenient mode of commencing the inquiry t e one o h r ad two he d ee is m tr e ict te s d a ur c in e g rta th m e e y x ea te r ht lB m 4 a 9 . , w w h as en to th s e el s e y e s t m the tu r ed, examination d to o fdocumentary a ascertain it s operat io e n d i e n th th e e r districts vi s e edeeeewith i by reference to the several heads of information required by the order of Court. For this pur pose the eastern and western divisions of the Westmins ter sewers were selected, and I directed a re turn to be made for those districts of the sums paid to the persons contracting to cleanse the sewers within those limits, as well as of those sums paid in respect of expenses which might fairly be considered as incident to the operation of blushing, though this last head of ex penditure was one which presented considerable diffi culty, giving rise to much difference of opinion. To as certain the lengths of sewers flushed, directions were given that a careful abstract should be prepared of the inspectors during th e per i o d i n question,o show the length s o f sewers returnsflushed purporting by the u made der tue contracts, t and the number of times each sewer was flushed. At the same time I took steps for ascertaining, as nearly as could be conveniently effected, the actual length of the sewers mentioned in those returns, and directed a competent person in the office, with two assistants, to determine the actual length reports on works completed , and orders of t b h y e a r e e g a i r s e t f e a r l s oefx, a s m ew in e a rs tio d n eta o i f l m th a e ps s o u h bt a er la ra rg n e ea s n ea s le u , rvy, sur veyors'e IComuaryt.reWmiathrkrtehsaptecttha quantityreturns e rns of deposit removed, furnished to the Commis sioners professed to set out the length and dimensions of the sewers, and the quantity of deposit removed ; and it is obvious that the whole value of this information depended on the accuracy with which these observations, as to the depth of deposit, were made. I. therefore, directed the clerks before alluded to to carefully ab stract the quantities stated in these returns, and, by the lengths as correctly determined and the actual dimen sions and form of the sewers, to ascertain the quantity removed; proposing. after obtaining this information, to examine the parties by whom and in whose pre sence the deposit had been measured. to learn whether this operation had been so conducted as to justify confidence in its accuracy. The inquiry thus commenced was proceeding at the time the first Metro politan Commission of Sewers was superseded. After the issuing of the present Commission, my time was so much engrossed by the current business of the Commis sion that I found it impossible to take any active part in the investigation, though I from time to time examined the work as it proceeded. This continued until within a few weeks of the resolution of the House of Commons requiring a copy of the return of the above order. I may venture to remind the Commissioners that among the earliest instructions to the engineer, after his appoint ment, was that he should direct his especial attention to the flushing works, and within a very short time it was determined by them to effect an alteration in that sys tem, and in the month of ---, in the present year, it was placed upon an improved an d more econom ical foot ing. The present Commissio ners h av i ng d ec ided upon the course to be taken in reference to this matter, thus effected the chief object to which the inquiries directed by the order of Court were intended to lead. The officers selected for this duty have now carefully ascertained, by reference to the documents I have named, the actual length of each sewer in the eastern and western divisions o h f av n gbeen W estminsterflushreetdurdnuering the period under dbythe flushing inspectors as considera tion, and by taking the nu m b er of limes each sewer was stated to have been flush e d t h ey have shown t h e t ota l number of lineal feet fl us h e d i n the above named divi sions during that period. They have also given certain results as to the quantity of deposit removed in cubic yards; but on this it must be observed that the value of these depends on the correctness of the depth of deposit stated in the returns, :which returns were made by the flushing inspectors thern,elves, and the accuracy of this portion of them I have up to this time had no opportunity of testing, It is, indeed, stated by the officers above referred to, that the returns are erro neous so far as regards the quantity of deposit removed —inasmuch as they omit to take into account the vari ation in the shape of the tower, whether circular, egg shaped, or with segmental inverts —that they treated all sewers as square, and consequently exhibit a consider able excess of deposit over what would have been shown if t h e measurement had been taken with reference to the actual form of each sewer. On the other hand, the officer who had the charge of the flushing al leges, that alle e., that the practical differenc e b y either method of shapes which mea surement was, for vario us reasons, inconsiderable. But it was never attempted to d o more than give a rough approximation to the truth, as the question of quantity a s that d from d not rom d t i directly irregularl y bear on h e the contract, deposit but was s u merely e s m important with referenc e t o certain collateral objects; at the bottom of sewers, the numerous defects in the sides and inverts of the open sewers by decay and other causes, and the fact that the measurements were taken in the middle of the sewers, the quantities returned are rather under than over the mark; and he, moreover, states that whenever reference was made to them in former reports to the Commissioners, the gross quantities were always considerably reduced. It was, no doubt, true that the question of the quantity of deposit, however im portant tor the purpose of determining the relative cost of the different systems, bad nothing whatever to do with the contracts under which the work was performed. These contracts were to keep the sewers clean, or to prevent deposit from accumulating in the sewers within a certain district, at a given sum per week, and payment was agreed to be made on the certificate that such work had been performed. Neither the length of the sewer cleansed, nor the quantity of deposit re moved, was any element in the contract, either for determining final payment or regulating ad; vances. It appears to me, however, very questionable whether there is any mode of ascertaining the quantity of soil in cubic yards removed from its place of original deposit to its place of final discharge, as directed by this part of the order of the Court. The whole of the re turns relative to the Surrey and Sent district have been abstracted, but no further step has yet been taken for measuring the lengths or investigating the other matters in question, as in the eastern and western divisions. The general result of the inquiry, as conducted in the manner I have described, is to show that in the eastern division, between the sth of January, 1849, and the 4th of Sep• tember in the same year, 899,780 lineal feet of sewers were the aul were flushed ; that for this ther e was p con tractors the sum of 4661. 14s. 11d. ; that to this amount must be added the sum of 45/. 2s. 4d for the cost of open ing the ground before and making it good after flushing, flushing small sewers , removing soil, cleansing nose pipes, and other small items, and making venti lating shafts, but the whole of the lasthead is not pro perly chargeable to flushing, a s the ventilating shafts arc useful for other purposes. The te depths deposit statedfurnished to have been removed, as ascertained , b y by the inspectors, and the dimensions f and forms of the sewers, amounts to 11,9 39 cu bic yards. The accuracy _ no opportunity of of this, as before stated, I have had testing. In the western division the len gth flushed is and the total am oun t p a id stated at 1,320,206 lineal feet, to contractors in respect of this work was 5241. Os. 3d. To this must be added the sum of 1881. 12s, sd. for openin gs and the other items above enumerated in the case of the eastern division. There are other:items of expenditure not yet aseeriainede--the cost of flushing-gates, hooks, rakes, and other implements, a proportion of the coot of yenti• lating shafts, side entrances, and of superintendents, but which can bo ascertained if the Commissioners should be pleased to give directions to that effect. The quan tity of cubic yards is stated in this division at 17,767; but the observations already made on this point again apply. The detailed particulars, locality of sewers, con tractors' names, &c., will be found in the returns ap pended thereto. If the Commissioners should direct that the inquiry should be further prosecuted I will en deavour, as far as practicable, to satisfy the minute re quirements of the order upon the subject; but I venture to remark that the consequence of ,o doing will be to consume so much valuable time as materially to impede the general business of the Commission and to necessi tate additional expense. If the Commissioners should bo pleased to decide upon ordering the return to be completed, I beg respectfully to observe that the present staff of officers is inadequate fur the purpose, and that it will become indispensable that I should be furnished with additional assistance. '•I have the honour to be, my Lord and Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, "E. H. WooLniecir, Secretary. " To the Hon. the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers." _ _ _ This report was agreed to, and ordered to be pre sented to the House of Commons. Upon the motion of Mr. LiwEs, the report as to the drainage of the southern side of the metropolis was formally received and adopted, and the works ordered to be commenced with the least possible delay. Mr. Hams said that it was very important, in car rying out works of this magnitude, that they should be executed with as little delay as possible. They had seen enough of these kinds of works in the metropolis to know that the moment any delay took place alter ations were proposed entailing a great expense and frequently much disappointment. He hoped that this great work, which had been agreed upon after due consideration, would be carried out with vigour, and as quickly as possible. Capt. HARNESS said that it was erroneously stated that the drainage of the southern side of the metro polis would cost 500,0001. ,The cost would be only 241,0001., or, in round numbers, 250,0001. Mr. HAWES said that it would be requisite to bor row 250,000 L, and this had been, by mistake, pub lished 500,0001. He was anxious to guard against misapprehension on that point. The following works were then ordered by the Court :-450 feet of 9-inch pipe sewer in Webber street, Southwark, cost 441.; 250 feet of 15-inch pipe in the open ditch near Battersea-bridge -road, cost 37L; 700 feet of sewer 3 feet 9 inches by 2 feet 3 inches, and i-brick thick, in Goldsmith's-place and Margaret- place, Hackney, 2921.

The Boord of Admiralty will commence their annual tour of inspection of the dockyards and ports at the latter end of the present week. Arachne's (16) bottom having been completed at De. vonport, she was taken out of No. 2 dock on Monday morning, and the Ringdove, 12, was taken in the same tide to be broken up. Kestrel, 4, brigantine, Lieutenant Commander Baker, would not have Seen paid off at Devonport, but on examination she was found defective. As we have stated, orders have been received to pay her off, after which she is to be carefully surveyed and her actual state reportef. The Vengeance has received her mizentaast at Ports• mouth, and will be brought into the Angle Dock to•day. The Termagant, steam. frigate, was removed from it yes terday, the beams having been placed over her engine for stopping her mainmast seven feet further forward. The Termagant will be masted and prepared again as an advanced steamer. The Seaflower cutter and buoy-boat were undocked at Portsmouth, on Monday. The Fire Queen, iron steamer, was docked at Ports mouth, on Monday, to have her bottom examined. She was payed over with Mr. Hay's composition eight months back, and has been lying in the dirty water of the harbour for the last two months; but her bottom was perfectly free from barnacles and weeds. There was a slight coat ing of soft brown soapy matter on it, which came off with the lightest touch of a mop. There was no oxide, and the varnish was hard and perfectly smooth; altogether, the iron was as clean as the copper sheathing of ships is after lying up the harbour for a considerable time. She is to be again payed over with Mr. Hay's composition. We uuderstand the Government have some intention of purchasing the yacht Nancy Dawson, lately returned from the Pacific, after having been of much assistance in the Arctic regions to the Herald and Plover. She will be placed (if purchased) to run between the river Plate and Rio, in room of the Kestrel. We hear she was surveyed by the authorities on Friday last. She is a safe, wholesome little vessel, but some of the revenue cutters, now being paid off, would answer the purpose of carry ing the intermediate mails in South America just as well as the Nancy Dawson. The Dauntless was commissioned on Monday at Ports mouth. She is rigged, and will soon be ready for ser vice if required. The Retribution also hoisted the pendant on Monday at Portsmouth. Captain Warden having joined, the shipwrights have something to do to her, altering her spirit-room, hatch, &e. 'She will now make a useful vessel, and carries a sufficient armament:— On her main. deck l2 guns, 32-pounders ,9 feet, 50 cwt. „ Quarter-deck ... 7 guns, 8 inches, 9 feet, 64 cwt. „ Forecastle shot, 95 cwt. ft Of If 2 guns, 8 inches, 9 feet, 64 cwt.

The Inflexible steam-sloop, Commander Dyke, sailed from Spithead this evening, for Plymouth, en route to the West India station. WOOLWICH, Aua. 13.—Mr. Thomas Crouch, senior extra clerk at Woolwich dockyard, has been placed on the establishment as a third-class clerk. The crew of the Perseus receiving-ship, recently lying off the Tower of London, and commanded by Lieutenant Greet, were paid off to-day at Woolwich. The Advice and the Jasper steam-vessels went up the river yesterday to John Penn and Sons' establishment, adjoining Deptford Dockyard, and passed Woolwich this morning at a qurter before six o'clock, having the Tiger steam-sloop, fitted with engines of 400-horse power by that firm, in tow to take her to Sheerness to be made ready for sea. The Lords of the Admiralty intend visiting Woolwich Dockyard to-morrow, and will afterwards embark in the Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master-Commander S. B. Cook, and proceed to Sheerness.

GRAVESEND, AUG. 13.—50 much suspicion is now attached to the origin of this most destructive confla gration, involving a loss, as this day's further inquiry has elicited, of little short of 100,0001., that the ma gistrates of the borough felt it to be their imperative duty to suggest to the coroner (Mr. J. G. !Elder) the necessity of holding an inquest to ascertain how and in what house er place it had originated. The coroner, as we have learnt, expressed his willingness —nay, his anxious desire—to hold such inquest, so many very destructive fires having within some ten years occurred in the town, but was diffident in doing so, seeing that the corporation might, as was done in the city of London, repudiate payment of the expenses of such inquiry, should he hold it. He, very properly it would seem, required a guarantee en the part of the corporation for the payment of expenses, but up to this hour, six o'clock P.M., we have not been able to ascertain whether such guarantee has been given. Doubtless it will yet be given, as the Mayor is ac tively engaged in promoting an inquiry before the coroner, assuming that public officer to be the proper person before whom it should be legally instituted. In the meantime an active and close investigation has been going on during this day before the Superinten dent of Police (Nr. North) as to the origin of the fire. All the statements made to him were by persons wbo, having witnessed the outbreak of the fire, came vo luntarily forward, or on the invitation of the police officer. To-morrow the magistrates propose to take the evidence of these persons, so as to ascertain from it the necessity of holding an inquest by the coroner. We subjoin a letter from Mr. Reed, to whom refe rence was made in our yesterday's report:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stit,—As an inquest is to be held as to the origin of the late calamitous fire at Gravesend, I will refrain from any observation here in reference to its origin, but as an allegation " that I had left the town, or, at least, not been seen since the fire," contained in your journal of this day, is calculated to raise a strong im pression against my character, and an inference that I shunned an inquiry, I beg to inform you that im mediately after myself and family escaped from my late premises we went to the Rose Tavern, next door to the Town-hall, which place we left in a public cab yesterday forenoon for my present lodgings, No. 22, Parrock-street, previously leaving with the landlord, Mr. Lewes, a written address of where I was to be found. Trusting to your sense of justice for the insertion of this letter,—l am, Sir, yours &c., M. W. REED. 22, Parrock-street, Gravesend. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—Allow me to state that this office lost about 2,0001., and not 6,0001., at the fire at Gravesend, as reported in your columns to-day. I am, Sir, yours &c., THOMAS A. BURR. Kent Mutual Fire Insurance Society, 6, Old Jewry, Aukust 13. A WISE MAN ASFIRING TO THE PAPACT.—Dr Wiseman (the Roman Catholic Bishop , a pamphlet of whose was sedulously distributed among the Anglo-Catholics of St. Martin's Hall), has been made a cardinal; whereby hangs a tale. It is said that our ambitious countryman aims at filling the chair of St. Peter itself, and that when he is seated in it the celibacy of the Romish clergy is to be abo lished, thereby removing the chief stumbling block in the road to Rome of so many priests of the Church of England and in Scotland.—Manchester Examiner and Times. NY CASED WINES. — An importation having taken place of a parcel of French wine in cases, which were, subsequently to their being housed in the bonding warehouse, found to contain considerably less than two gallons to the dozen, as usual in such cases, the importer requested permission for one or more of the cases to be measured as a guide for the whole quantity.
