SUGAR.—To-day importers of Raw Sugar were not in clined to make any further concession in prices. but there was no increase in the home or export demand for any kind, and there was a loss quantity on offer. Of West India Muscovado the private sales were only 420 hluls and trcs at the rates of yesterday, or at prices 6cl to Is under those of Friday last. REFINED.—To -day Refined goods met with a dull demand from the home trade, although brown grocery Lumps could be obtained at 55s to 55s 6d, and Standard Lumps at 56s 6d per cwt. For Bonded Crushed Sugar former rates are asked, but there was little passing. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon a public sale of 2,985 bags Mauritius Sugar went at about former rates. In the private market little business was done. FORElGN.—Although importers of Foreign Sugar have been desirous to sell upon previous reduced terms, and in some cases rather under, still exporters mani fested less disposition to operate, and privately they have only taken 600 chests fine dry white Havannah at Is, and 3,000 chests yellow at 23s 6d to 25s ; 4,000 bags brown Pernams 19s. The demand from our refiners working under bond has been trifling, whilst the home trade have been cautious in their proceedings, and the purchases made privately by them are not worth enumerating. At public sale 384 bags Para were taken in above the value. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 238 bags Bengal sold at 41s 6d for low damp white, and at 38s for soft yellow. Privately there was little business done in any kind. COFFEE.—This afternoon a public sale of 4,005 bags 10 barrels Costa Rica went at reduced rates, but the whole sold. 123 bags Plantation Ceylon soil at rather loner prices. The market for Native is in a dull state. TEA.—Black is held for the previous currency, and merchants display firmness, but there has been little desire evinced to ao business in any description. At public sale yesterday the quantity of tea offered amounted to 2,000 pkgs ; but little desire was shown to operate, and only 600 were sold, but as the chief part consisted of Tea, in small pkgs, and out of condition, the prices obtained formed no criterion to the market. lircE.—A further decrease has taken place in the de mand for all descriptions of East India, whilst holders are anxious to realise, in consequence of the large quan tities there are to arrive. Although there are sellers of all descriptions of Bengal Rice at a reduction on previous rates of is per cwt, still the purchases made have bean limited by the home trade, whilst the export orders exe cuted have been trifling, and the speculative demand has ceased. In other sorts little business has been concluded. SPICES.—There has been a much better demand for all sorts of Nutmegs, occasioned chiefly by the post ponement of the Dutch company's sale until next spring. Prices here have advanced 2d to 3d per lb, whilst the parcels offered at public auction were all sold, and amounted to 51 chests of Penang. Mace sells more freely rather above the previous value, and at auction 16 cases of Penang were disposed of. The market has been in a quiet state for black Pepper, and the qnantity brought forward is larger, whilst the rates aecepted have been rather under those that ruled pre viously. Pimento has been dealt.in with more freedom; and at public sale 557,bags were sold at full rates. SPIRITS.—There has been a much better demand for all descriptions of Jamaica Rum this week, a good bu siness having been transacted by the home trade; whilst exporters have been purchasers to a fair extent, and the rates obtained are equal to those of this day week, but not above. The total purchases amount to 300 puns. In the value of Leeward Island there is little variation to notice this week, but the demand is more active, and the purchases have reached 350 puns at 2s 6d to 2s 7d proof strength. For Demerara there is a much better demand, and the sales amount to 250 puns. Holders of East India are not inclined to make any further con cession in price, but at present there are few buyers. The market for Brandy is in a dull state, exporters and the home trade operating with much caution in all sort The older kinds are offered upon further reduced terms but for young Brandies former rates are required Geneva is in good request for exportation. For Briti Corn Spirits the market is dull. SALTPETRE.—This afternoon Rough was required, and 1972 bags at public sale sold at full rates. Ous.----For Southern Oil prices cannot be quote higher, but the demand is good for all kinds, and 160 tuns at auction all found buyers. Holders of pale Seal have shown less firmness, but submitting to rather lower rates, occasioned a good busi ness to be transacted ; other kinds have been sold The stock of Fish Oils continues on the increase, whilst large parcels are near at hand. For Linseed Oil the demand on the spot has been active for actual consump tion, whilst several shipping orders have been executed. Holders of Palm are inclined to realise, but a good busi- ness has been concluded in consequence of 36s 6d to 38s having been accepted for good and fine quality. Cocoa Nut is heavy of disposal. Lard Oil moves off slowly. TALLow.—This afternoon the market closed with much heaviness—fine Petersburgh Yellow Candle on the spot at 46s 6d to 475, and 46s for delivery in the last three months. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 6.—Prince Albert, accompanied by the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, will inspect the dockyard battalion to-morrow morning before going to the Clarence-yard. After the inspection the Grand Duke Constantine will leave for town. Royal salutes were fired this morning by all the ships mounting a sufficient complement of guns and the plat film batteries, in honour of Prince Alfred's birthday. This afternoon, by the express train of the South- Western Railway, which was brought into the Clarence yard for their Lordships' convenience by Mr. Stevens, the Earl of Auckland, G.C.8., First Lord; Rear-Admiral Prescott, C. 8.; Captain M. F. F. Berkeley, R.N., M.l'.; Lord John Hay, C. 8., and the Hon. W. F. Cowper, M.l'., Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty; together with Captain W. A. B. Hamilton, R.N., Second Secretary to the Board; Captain H. Eden, R.N., Private S e cretary to the First Lord ; Mr. T. Woolley, of the Private -office : Colonel Irvine, Director-General of Engineering and Architectural Works; and, accompanied by Captain H. Stewart, Controller-General of the Coast Guard,larrived on their a nnual official visit of inspection to this port and its dependencies. Their Lordships were received, on their arrival at Gosport, by Flag-Lieutenant Cochrane, who ushered them into the Clarence-yard, where Admiral Sir C. Ogle, Admiral Hyde Parker, Sir W. E. Parry, and other officers, naval, military, and civil, received them. Their Lordships immediately proceeded to business, after the usual salutes had been fired in honour of their arrival, commenced by inspecting one of the victualling boys be longing to the establishment, fitted as a gunboat, with a 32-pounder medium shell gun amidships, which was ex ercised yesterday at Spithead, in half a gale of wind, by Mr. Davies, the Master-Attendant, major of the boat brigade of the Clarence yard. This kind of vessel makes a most admirable gunboat, and without a pound's ex pense, being capable of holding 200 men without the slightest injury to its properties and uses as a victualling boy. The application of the gun succeeded yesterday admirsbly, and the experiment will, we understand, re sult in alt the hoys at this and similar establishments being fitted with guns. Their Lordships then went through the whole of the victualling buildings and store rooms, commencing with the tank -store, and ending with the newly fitted up armoury for the battalion, which has been made out of an old office, with much taste and economy. Having made a most minute inspection of the whole internal economy of the Clarence-yard, under the escort 1, of Sir Edward Parry and the Storekeeper and Master ' Attendant, the board proceeded to the open space of ground (an area of about nine and a half acres), in front . of the Clarenc e - jar d ga t e , enc l ose d w ithin the fortifications, to inspect the contemplated site for building the new Marine barracks for this division (a scheme we hinted at some months since, and which was ridiculed by sundry official and other individuals connected with this port), where the plans for the structure were produced by Captain James, R.E., the Director of Works, and all the details of expense, time, position, Scc., explained to the board. From these it appeared that to erect a bar rack for 1,000 men will cost 80,000/., or 80/. per man. Captain James very properly and forcibly exposed the absurdity of having walls around a town, without a soldier within them to defend them; for it is a notorious fact that all the receptacles for troops around Gosport are at great distances outside the fortifications. From this ground the board walked to Haslar Hospital, of which establishment they made a most minute inspec tion, returning by water in their barge, steered by Lieut. Mills (1827), of the Victory—their Flag-Lieutenant — to the dockyard, and dined in the evening with the Com mander-in-Chief, at his official residence. CHATHAM, AuG. 6.—The Iris, 26 guns, Captain G. R. Mundy, was paid off into ordinary on Thursday afternoon, the sth instant, and her Marines joined for the head-quarters of the Plymouth division the same day. The crew collected 211., and purchased a gold watch and chain, which they presented to the sergeant of Ma rines, for his good conduct towards them. The Antelope steam-packet, for the lonian Isles, commissioned on the 3d inst. by Lieutenant F. Smyth. This vessel is to have a complement of 60 men. The Elk 12. gun brig, building and fitting for sea, has had her bottom caulked, and it is now ready for copper ing. The caulkers are employed caulking the bottom of the Heron, also a 12-gun brig, fitting for sea. The Rochester, Sedgwick master, arrived yesterday with stores from Pembrolie and Devonport yards. The Duck, Savage master, is receiving a general refit, and will be newly coppered. THE DOCKYARD BATTALION.—Tho following letter v< as read at the head of the battalion yesterday even- ing:— " ' The Captain-Superintendent is commanded by my Lords Comissioners of the Admiralty to communicate to Lieutenant-Colonel Karley, and the officers, non-com missioned officers, and privates, and the C ro hatham Dock yard Battalion, their Lordsh i p s' high apiibation of the proficiency made by that body in the use of their arms and in the practice of manceuvring; and their Lordships also desire to express their satisfaction at the ready and cheerful manner in which both officers and men have mat the views of her Majesty's G o vernment on this.' WARD oc• casion. " The Captain-Superintendent has much pleasure in being made th,,, medium of this "g r TatifyOURCHER ing cornrnunica tion. . B." -----------.T--r-, hundred WESLEY 1N CONFERENCE. —The one and fourth annual conference of the Wesleyan Methodist ministers commenced its regular sittings in Liverpool on Wednesday week. For more than a week several pre paratory committees of ministers and laymen have, as is usual before the assembling of conference, been engaged in investing th e o p erations of the various connectional instrumental ities during the (Methodist) year just ended, and, in considering the best means of bringing those in• strumentalitics into increasingly extensive and efficient exercise. The election to the office of president has fallen upon the Rev. Samuel Jackson, and that of se - retry upon the Re,. Dr. Newtora. ... • __ SUICIDE OF A MURDERESS. , LINCOLN, At:G. s.—At the recent assizes for this county Mary Ann Millner was sentenced . to death by Mr. Baron Rolfe for poisoning her mother-in-law, sister in law, and niece, in the village of Barnetby-le-Wold, by mixing arsenic in food which they partook of. Her execution was appointed to take place on Friday . last, at noon, and crowd s k e pt fl oc king into the city from all parts to witness the dreadful ceremony. She, however, avoided so ignominious a fate by hanging herself in the cell she was confined in during the night. The sentence of the law not being carried into effect at the usual place and hour, led to the rumour that she bad been executed within the walls of the prison. The inquest on her remains was held on Saturday, and the Rev. Mr. Ritchie, the chaplain, stated, that he last saw her on Thursday night about eight o'clock, when she seemed reconciled to her fate. She had made a con fession, and declared that she had nothing more to confess. She said she felt that she bad made her peace with the Almighty. She evinced deep sorrow for the crimes she had committed, and sympathy for those she had sent un prepared out of the world. She wished him to write to her husband and give him the best account he could of her, and beg of him to take care of her child. On this occasion she certainly betrayed more dejection than at former times, but it was not of such a character as to lead..him to suspect that she would destroy herself. He had no doubt of her perfect sanity. Ile did not order her a candle. Mrs. Johnson, the matron, deposed that she last saw the deceased on Thur.:day evening, about a quarter past nine o'clock. She then seemed as well as she had been. Did not notice anything particular in the room. De ceas..4l kept her clothes on an arm-chair by the side of the bed. She had no person to sit up with her. There as no candle in the cell. There was no order for wit ness to visit persons condemned to death more frequently than others. She had been 18 years matron of the prison, and during that period had had no order to have a person to sit up with prisoners. She was the first person who opened the door of the deceased's room, and found her suspended against a cupboard door by a handkerchief which she had round her neck. It was affixed to a screw, which was used to secure books in a closet. - Mr. Nicholson, the governor, said that during his governorship there had been no instance of a prisoner having on the night previous to execution a person to sit up in the cell. There was no order on the books for a person condemned to death to have a person to attend, and in this case there had been no departure from the prison discipline. The magistrates intended to adopt some regulation for the future. He had noticed the handkerchief by which she had suspended herself. She had formed a knot of such strength that, having once put it round her neck, strangulation would inevitably follow. He had heard the opinion of the public execu tioner, who stated that the knot was made in the most dexterous manner. W. Millsom, one of the principal turnkeys, assisted in taking down the deceased. He felt her neck ; it was cold and hard, as if she had been dead for some time. There were two chairs near the cupboard door, and, by jumping off either, she would suspend herself. This being all the evidence, the jury returned a ver dict of b'elo de se, and the body was interred within the precincts of the prison. The Rev. Mr. Ritchie, the chaplain, has caused to be published a correct statement of the confession the wretched murderess made. He says, "On Wednesday morning, the 21st of July, she confessed to me that she did poison her brother's wife, by inviting her into her house to eat a cake made of batter, into which she put arsenic for the purpose. No further confession was made till the morning of July 26th, when the prisoner said she poisoned the infant daughter of her brother's wife ; and when on a future occasion she was asked how ? she said she put arsenic into its drink (tea, she thought), and fetched the child into her house to give it to her. In the evening of the same day she confessed that she had intended to poison her husband's father, by putting arsenic into a rice pudding ; but she de clared solemnly she never intended to poison her husband's mother, and that if she died of poison it must have been by accidentally eating some of the rice pudding that was put away after the father had partaken of it. This is the amount of her confession; and she gave the following reasons for perpetrating the crimes:— The prisoner said, that with regard to her brother's wife, there had been much disagreement between the husband and wife in which she herself was mixed up; that the wife was continually vexing herself, and making herself very unpleasant to her; and that, in revenge, she deter mined to rid both herself and brother of the wife and child. When asked what induced her to attempt to poison her husband's father, she said that his father and mother did not treat her well; that they came to her house on all occasions, as though it was their own, and took and did what they liked, without regard to her, and also that her husband gave them money and things, which so exasperated her that she told him she would leave him if he continued to do so; and that, finally, she determined to poison his father. The prisoner could give no other reason, and constantly declared that she did not intend to poison his mother, that she had made away with no one else, and that no one else was con cerned in the crimes she committed and which she had confessed." • The Secretary of State will doubtless direct a strict investigation to be made into the affair, so as to ascer tain if any of the gaol authorities were guilty of neglect while having charge of the culprit. ALLEGED MURDEROUS ASSAULT AT N E PORT. On Monday evening last, about nine o'clock, a large mob of men and boys came down High-street and on towards the station-house, yelling vociferously ; and in their midst, guarded by two men, was pushed onwards a p,or half famished Irishman. At the last step from the street into the . station, some gentle Christian be st,,wed a curse and a heavy blow upon the unlucky Irishman'; head, as a threw-ea token of popular favour. In an hour after down came the mob once more, :Aso !wily frantic, and shouting more than ever. " litre are the other two murderers 1" they cried ; and in their midst, tightly hemmed in by the mob, were two other Irishmen, in rags, and very pale. To the station they were also taken. And then rumour, with her thousand tongues, cried out that these villanous Irishmen had almost murdered a poor inoffensive navvy ! On Wed nesday, it was rumoured that the navigator died ! On Thursday, accordingly, the examination was ordered to come on. But the charge was only against one, John Sheehy, the person who was said to have committed the murder. The first witness examined to-day, however, was the murdered man himself, stout and strong. Aaron Goss, sworn, stated as follows:—I am an excavator upon the Pontypool line of railway, and on Monday evening last was coming down the Marshes-road towards Newport, about seven o'clock. I went to a fire on the side of the road near the toll-gate, to light my pipe. Three or four men, amongst whom was the prisoner, were sitting against the wall, near the fire. I asked them to allow me to light my pipe. I stirred the ashes about to see if there was any fire. The prisoner said something, and made a motion with a knife and fork he had in his hands, as if to cut my boot, and I put my hand to his arm to prevent it. I believe the fork was in his left hand, and the knife in his right. He stuck the fork into my bead on the left side. I believe he struck me twice in the head with the fork. The knife and fork produced by ThomasMedlam, constable, are the same. He held the knife pointing at me, as if to stick me, and he gave me a stroke with it, which cut my right hand little finger. The blood from the stabs in my head ran down the side of my face. My finger bled much. 1 caught hold of the prisoner by the arm, and seeing I was cut, I got away from him. I came to Newport, and went to the doctor. I am sure I did not push myself against the knife or fork. The prisoner struck at me in the head with the fork. Prisoner said he would cut me when first went to the fire. Cross-examined —I was not drunk. I did not ask you for tobacco. I did not follow you to the farmer's house or to any other house. I did not strike you. You said you would cut my boot. I did not pull you down on your back, because you would not give me tobacco. You did strike me with the knife and fork. I did not see you eating anything. Mr. Win. Brewer, surgeon, sworn, said, on Monday evening, somewhere about seven o'clock, the last witness was brought to me. On examining his head, I found a wound, which I am certain had not been done with a fork. There was an incised wound on his finger. Ile was very drunk. The cut on his finger might have been done by seizing hold of the knife.—The case was dismissed. [lt is said that the " navvy" grossly insulted those homeless people, while eating their miserable meal, kicked out their fire, broke up their cooking apparatus, and with drunken brutality gave them kicks and oaths, and dragged a feeble old man along the road en his back. If this be true—and it is stated to be—we cannot wonder at the case being dismissed]. Henry MacMahon, surgeon in the 87th regiment, w . as taken into custody under a judge's warrant, for fogng. aker, at a receipt for 271. 14s. 2d. on Luke H orner, Pill.—He was removed in cu stod y Monmouthshire Merlin. to :lte'emtation.— ---- STATE OF TRADE. YORK WOOL MARKET, AUG . 5.--There was but a small show of wool at this day's market, and few buyers being in attendance very little business was done. Prices without alteration. E NGLIS H WOOL M AR NNT, ALTO. 6.—The supply of wool at market remains light for the season, and prices h e re are not so hig h in proportion as those recently ob tained by the growers. There is a steady demand ; but the buyers say they cannot afford to give an advance, and therefore buy very cautiously. L EED S.—There was more business done a t the Cloth y ' Halls, both on S aturda y and Tuesday, than on the two prev i ous market days, but principally for good s o f l ow qua lity and heavy winter goods. There is no alteration in prices, nor do the stocks accumulate, although more goods have been supplied from the country during the last few weeks. Business has b een d u ll i n the ware houses this wf ek, but from the splendid harvest weather we have had, and the fall in the price of corn in con s( quenee, there is a very general opinion prevailing that business will improve as soon as the elections are over. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—We have nothing fresh to report from the last few weeks. This market is very bare of wools, and will continue so while the farmers demand the prices they are doing, as it is im possible to realise on them from the prices the _ manufac turers are offering. Noils and brokes are in pretty demand, and a shade higher in price. Yarns—There 1 week. is nothing fresh to report in yarns from last general Pieces—With respect to the p dullness is complained of; whichiemccayrnbare attributed to temporary causes. In both yarns and pieces prices are without alteration. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENIII.G.—W a very dull market for doth t his week, e hare had and prices are RAILWAY RETURNS RAILWAY TKAFFIC.—The following are the Total Receipts of Rail ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the date to which the respective returns are made, together with the receipts of the same week in the previous year : NAME OF RAILWAY.

ELSDY , Deputy Cashier. A heavy failure —the liabilitie s bein g rumoured to be betwt en 200,0001. and 300,0001.—was yesterday morning announced on the Corn-Exchange. The tirm is that of M,ssrs. Charles Douglas and Son, and the im mediate c a use of the disast er has been the sus p e nsion of a house at St o ckton-on-Tee s (Sampson, Langdale, and Co.), who were indebted to them to the exte nt o f a b out 20,000 Z. The general losses of the firm are attributed to injudicious advances, and not to direct speculation, but it is fe are d t h at t h e acc ounts will p rove ver y unfavourable, and that many smaller par ties, es p eciall y among the Irish houses, will be pulled down. About 100,6001. arc alleged to be the liabilities of the parties at Stockton, with regard to whom it has been asserted that a rise of ss. in the corn - mar k e t would ena ble the m to pay 20s. in the pound. Apart from the influence of these events the corn -market yesterday showed a firmer tendency. We understand that Lord George Bentinck sent a subscription of one hundred pounds to the committee for scouring the election of Mr. Bernal Osborne for Middle sex. The contribution was respectfully, but we think Tory properly, declined.-11/ornegy Paper. rather lower for nearly all descriptions. Even the great decline in the corn markets app, ars not to operate in any perceptible way. The tightness of the money market has induced some wealthy manufacturers and spinners to press sales, and while it continues things are not expected to improve. Yarns are in fair demand for export, but this season is always the busiest among shippers. THE HARVEST AND CROPS. NORFOLII.—The harvest is already commenced ; yea, and some of the new corn may, even at this very moment, have been converted into food for man. The stock of old wheat at the commencement of harvest is probably less now than it usually has been at any former period ; the mills are literally empty, and the barns and granaries nearly so. The general harvest may be expected to commence in the early part of next week; and it appears unquestionable that wheat, oats, and barley, will be found to yield a full average produce, with the smallest possible amount of defective grains where there are indications of the presence of blight or mildew. The bean and pea crops appear to he more seriously affected; first, by reason of the glutinous and adhesive substance usually called honey-dew ; and afterwards (as a necessary con sequence) f rom t h e presence o f green a nd black aphides ; hut even in this case we are not quite sure that the amount of injury has not been greatly over-rated. The worst feature of the present season is that which appertains to the potato crop. The disease to which this root has been subjected during the last two years exhibited itself this year earlier than hereto fore, and is rapidly spreading over the whole, th under somewhat similar circumstances, althoungll peers to be a slight vari a ti on in the syiptomserwe aP which indicate eventual decay. Thus, instead of brown spots on the skin of the young tuber, the pellicle is enlarged by watery pu s t u l es ; which in crease in size, as the potato it se lf a d vances in growth, and will, in all probability, produce a more rapid destruction of the root. Symptoms may vary, but the disease is unquestionably the same ; and such has been the case with the so-called epidemic amongst horned cattle. First the hoofs, afterwards the mouth, and latterly the lungs, became more or less affected; and although naturalists may disagree as to whether the former is produced by aphides or electricity, the reasonable presumption is, that both the one and the other owes its origin to some atmo spheric phenomena, of which we are wholly ignorant. We never remember to have seen so large a breadth of land seeded with mangel-wurzel as the present year affords, and certainly a more perfect crop has never been exhibited since the introduction of that root. Turnips are almost equally unfailing, and the prospect with regard to winter provision in general is abundantly satisfactory. DONCASTER.—FINE CROP Or OATS.—A crop of oats, grown in a field in the occupation of Mr. Axe, of the Plough Inn, adjoining the grounds of F. Fisher, Esq., of Westfield, near Doncaster, from its extraordinary luxuriance, has attracted much atten tion, has been cut, and presents such a mass of sheaves as, in point of productiveness of grain, as well as of number, has rarely been surpassed.—Leeds Mercury. Coamvatar---The harvest is in a very forward state. The Volley crop is spoken highly of. ' DORCHESTER.—SeveraI farmers in this district have commenced harvest, and in a few days the opera ' tions in the harvest field will be general. At present the crops promise well.—Sherborne Journal. BARNSLEY.—The glorious weather we have been , favoured with of late has done all that could be wished for in the vegetable kingdom of this district, and if we have only a continuance of favourable weather, every thing promises to be abundant, with the exception of beans. A few patches of oats have already been cut, and several farmers talk of cutting barley next week. We hear nothing of potatoes being diseased, but, on the contrary, abundant crops, and the few showers we had on Monday afternoon has rather revived the turnips and other crops. lium..—The weather has been hot, and although we had some rain yesterday, it was again fine to-day. We have nothing further to remark with regard to the complaints about insects in the grain, although there is no doubt but that injury has been done to the crops in the south, and partial, though not very mate rial, in the north. As far as our own observation extends, we think wheat and oats will be light in this district, and barley good, but not a great crop. Beans bad. RIPON.—The season has hitherto been favourable for the crops, although occasionally gloomy, with slight showers of rain, but which have been rather beneficial than otherwise. Some fields of barley we have noticed much twisted, and in some situations flattened, but they will not sustain much loss, save the extra trouble in reaping. Wheat stands erect, and presents a beautiful appearance. In oats there is little reason to complain, but in beans the crops will be very deficient. In some favourable situations cutting has commenced, and will be general in the ensuing week. We have not heard of a single complaint of the rust, &c., in wheat, but a general acknowledgment of a most bounteous crop. From very close observation of the potato crops, we are: enabled to state there continues a general soundness in the plants. Occasionally diseased onea have been exhibited to us, but, on inquiry, they would not a►uount to a single one in a cart-load, and would only have been noticed a few years ago as a common ("CC UrrenCe. If the yield of the lute erops .be equal to the produce of the early ones, and even one-half of them diseased, a reduction of 50 per cent. from last year's prices would be ample compensation to the grower. FAILURE OF TUE POTATO CROP IN PARTS OF et/RN WALL.—The Cornwall Gazette says—At Grade the potato crop is beginning to look bad, and the disease is become general. The sound potatoes are of a superior quality, could we preserve them, but it is to be feared there will be but few left after the diseased are separated from the others. BUDE.—The blight has begun to exhibit its baneful effects in many gardens and fields ; the very early sorts have turned out remarkably fine, but those re maining in the ground are showing the disease in the leaves and stalks, and some that have been drawn the last few days are marked with the scald (if we may so term it) or dark spot on the skin : it is to be feared that the late crops will be seriously affected, but as a large breadth of other roots and vegetables has been planted, it is to be hoped that the loss will not be so distressingly felt among those ill able to bear it. The weather is remarkably fine, and in the course of a few days the harvest will be general in this district. At St. Merryn the potato fields are fast assuming the same withered and blighted aspect they wore last year. Still, we are happy to state that the tubers themselves are not so generally diseased as they were then ; neither in those which are diseased is the process of decay so rapid; and the earlier varieties of the potato are yielding an abundant produce. It is to be feared, however, that there will be a very serious failure in the late crops, since the leaves and stalks are already smitten ; and these gone, it is impossible that the tuber can attain any size. The ripening n heat, barley, and oats, are magnificent. WHEAT FROM SEED THREE THOUSAND YEARS OLD.—At Castletown, on the lands of J. Eastwood, Esq., within one mile of Dundalk, may now be seen a splendid crop of about two acres of mummy wheat, the seed of which was taken from the mummy brought from Egypt, in which it was computed to have lain above three thousand years, and presented to the Earl of lladdington when First Lord of the Admiralty. A few grains of the seed were given to Mr. Eastwood, , am' who has cultivated it during the l a st five y e a rs The augmented it to the present abundant yi stalks are one foot higher than those of tl t i rs e e l ozd e. ina l ry n wheat, and present a most luxurianvte m aPps ent and even these days of agricultural impl r ;ood might be much grain prov f ed the tobe enterprise, the supply of cerfa Examzner. isnucitreedasteodthbeybithshe secuill.trive efrya Greatly do we rejoice at the prospects o most e har vest, which a COnwtoinuilldanbeee su o is f e fi ie n n e t t w o e s a ec th u e r r e. for ln a few weeks longer wheat rrh crop. encouraging frreegmardaltlo p cereals, f there Ireland.

We quite believe, although there are many examples of the o ld disease, and here and there very bad cases, that, never theless, upon the whole, the crop is in a s atisfactory state, and likely to produce an average return. ,We shall, however, be prepared to speak with more certainty a week hence." Our own accounts warrant this favourable tone ; but it would be foolish to conceal the fact, that there are still occasional accounts of the appearance of disease in a decided form. For instance, Mr. MiCormick, the steward of the Duke of Manchester, at Tandragee Castle, has published a letter in the Newry Telegraph, stating that disease of the most decided character has suddenly a ppeared in the potatoes of various kinds planted there. Still, however, such cases are compa ratively few and isolated, and we have now got beyond the time when the blight had become general and de structive last year.—Dublin Post. LONG SERVICE.—WORTHY or IMITATION: MT John Wills, an old servant of the late J. T. Coryton, Esq., and the present Augustus Coryton, Esq., of Pen tillie Castle, has retired after having been forty years in their service, rewarded with an allowance sufficient to make himself and wife comfortable for life, with a good house and garden, land sufficient to keep a cow and horse, and likewise a very handsome present from Augustus Coryton, Esq., as a token of the estimation in which his cast services are held.— Wett Briton.
