ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS. UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO CIETY, 1, King William-street, London. Established 1834. Empowered by Act of Parliament. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five - preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The - first division of Profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the annual premiums of all those policies entitled to participation. The following table will show the operation of the reduction made by the Society : Age Annual when P°lic Date of Sum' Orig i nal Premium was Y Policy. Assured. P re thi um .

BARTHOLOMEW FAIR-PIE- POUDRE COURT. e w most which expeditio us It is not generally known that the arrangements of Bartholomew Fair are under the control o f a Court o f l P e i w e - e p s t o a d a r n e d , v a u t lga t r h ly e called P Court of Justice known in the law of Eng l and. It is called Pie-poudre, probably from t he d usty feet of sui tors, or, according to Sir Edward Coke , because justi ce time Pie -powder, r' is..the is there done as speedily as dust can fall from the feet. It is upon the same principle that justice among the .Jews was administored in the gate of the city, that the proceedings might be the more speedy as w e ll as pub lic. Another a uthority assigns its etymology to pied pod Breaux, a pedlar, in old French, and there fore signifying the Court of such petty c h apmen as resort to fairs and markets. It.is a Court of Record incident to every fair and market of which the steward of him who owns, or has.the toll of the mar k et, is the Judge. Thi s , f o r Bartholornew,Fair, was formerly the steward of Lord Kensington , the Lord . of the M anor , who so ld hi s p r i v ilege about six years mace to the Corpo tion of London, who now appoint the s t ewar d . I t was in s tit u t e d to administer Justice for a ll commerc i a l injurie s d one i n the very fair or market , an d not in any preceding one, so that theinjury complained of should be heard and decided w ithin the comp ass of one and the same day, unless the fair lasted a day l onger. T he Court as cons tituted take co gnizance of a ll ma t ters that aris e i n th e fair, whether of debt or trespass, and a writ of e rror li es from i ts decisions to th e C ourts o f Westmin s t er . The reason of Its establishment was to do speedy justice, and save the expense, of app ea li ng t o a superi or C our t of Judicature. The C ourt f or S t . Bartholom ew f a i r is held daily at the Hand and Shears public-house, in Cloth-fair, in Bart holomew -close, where matters connected with stall-beepers are the chief sub jet is of complaint. Several ludicrous cases have oc curred in the Court, and the memb ers of Richardson ' s company and other Thespian corps were often brought up for breaches of contract.

(£II AN Eyk-WITNVO.) • The boasted civilisation which Mehemet Ali has in troduced into the countries under his sway is entirely superficial, and has no origin whatever in any real im provement or amelioration in the condition or lof the benefit of their respective populations ; and the reason why a contrary impression has so generally prevailed amongst late travellers is as follows :—When travellers arrive at Alexandria, and more particularly those of name or rank, they immediately fall into the hands of a set of clever persons, some of them Consuls, who having either made their fortunes by the Pacha, or having them to make, leave no effart unemployed to impress them with favourable opinions of his Government. They are then presented at the Divan, it here, instead of a re served austere-looking Turk, they find a Hedy animated old man, who converses freely and gaily with them, talks openly of his projects to come, and of his past life, tells them that he is glad to see them, and that the more travellers that pass through Egypt, the better he is pleased ; that he wishes every act of his Government and institutions to be known and seen, and that the more they are so, the better will he be appreciated. He then turns the conversation to some subject personal to them, for he is always well informed of who and what they are, and what they know, and at last dis. misses them with an injunction to visit his establish• merits with care, and to let him know their opinion of them on their return ; and if they happen to be persons of distinction, he offers them a cavass to accompany them on their journey. All this is done in a simple pleasing manner, which can hardly fail to captivate when coming from so remarkable a man. Endoc trines by the clique and won by the Pacha, they pro. coed on their journey to Cairo, where the delusion be gun at Alexandria is completed ; for travelling through the country is now easy, and comparatively safe to what it was, and establishments of various kinds, such as polytechnic schools, schools of medicine and _general instruction, and manufactories, have been formed in Cairo and those parts of the country which are most frequently visited. These arc under the direction of foreigners, chiefly Frenchmen, and arc open to those who choose to visit them ; consequently, as the greater proportion of travellers seek for sights more than in struction, these gentlemen, won at Alexandria, and deb lighted at the facility of their journey from that place, neither turn to the right nor the left from the beaten track, but, judging of what they do not see by that which is purposely prepared to be shown them, return to Euiope, and on grounds such as I have above de• scribed, and without looking an inch beneath the sur face, proclaim the Pacha the civilizer and regenerator of E:zypt. How far such is the c a se you will b e a bl e to judge from what follows, in which there is no exag geration. The journey I made extended up to the se cond cataract on the Nile, throughout Egypt and Nubia, and then through Palestine, the whole of Syria, and the Libanus. I consequently visited very nearly all the countries under the domination of Mehemet Ali, and, as I did not allow myself to be influenced at Alexan dria, - and missed no occasion of informing myself of the state of things whilst on my journey, I may fairly say that can give an unbiassed opinion as to what is going on in that unhappy part of the world. In Egypt the whole of the land belongs to the Paella ; besides himself there is no landed proprietor, and he has the absolute monopoly of every thing that is grown in the country. The following is the manner in which it is cultivated :—Portions of land are divided out between the fcllahs of a village, according to their numbers ; seed, corn, cotton, or other produce is given to them : this they sow and reap, and of the produce 75 per cent. is immediately taken to the Paella's de pots. The remaining 25 per cent. is left them, with, how evi r, the power to take it at a price fixed by the Pacha himself, and then re-sold to them at a higher rate. This is generally done, and reduces the pittance left them about 5 per cent. more ; from this they are to pay the capitation tax, which is not levied according to the real number of the inhabitants of a village, but ac cording to numbers at which it is rated in the Govern ment books ; so that in one instance with which I was acquainted a village originally rated at 200, reduced by the conscription to 100, and by death or flight to 40, was still obliged to pay the full capitation ; and, when I went there, 26 of the 40 had been just bastinadoed to extort from them their proportion of the sum claimed. After the capitation comes the tax on the date-trees, raised from 30 to 60 pares by the Pacha, and that of 200 piasters a year for permission to use their own water-wheels, without which the lands situ ated beyond the overflow of the Nile, or too high for it to reach, would be barren. Then comes an infinity of taxes on every article of life, even to the cakes of camels' dung, which the women and children collect and dry for fuel, and which pay 25 per cent. in kind at the gate of Cairo and the other towns. Next to the taxes comes the corvee in the worst form, and in con tinual action ; at any moment the fellabs are liable to be seized for public works, for the transport of the baggage of the troops, or to track the boats of the 'Government or its officers, ansl tbi 4 witb w it toren." to.tbo - atitte — Ortlezr crpps. : When Mehemet Ali nrde his famous canal &Om Alexandiia to the Nile; he did it by forcibly marching down 150,000 men from all parts of the country, and obliging them to excavate with their hands, as tools they had not, or perhaps could not be provided. The excavation was completed in three months, but 30,000 men died in the operation. Then comes the curse of the conscription, which is exercised in a most cruel and arbitrary manner, without any sort of rule or law to regulate it. An order is given to the chief of a dis trict to furnish a certain number of men ; these he seizes like wild beasts wherever he can find them, without distinction or exemption, the weak as well as the strong, the sick' as well as those in health; and, as there is no better road to the Paella's favour than showing great zeal in this branch . of the service, he, if possible collects more even than were demanded. These are chained, marched down to the river, and embarked amidst the tears and lamentations of their families, who know that they shall probably never see them again ; for change of climate, bad treatment, and, above all, despair, cause a mortality in the Pacha's army beyond belief; muffle. tion is not now considered on exemption, and the consequence of the system is, that from As souan, at the first cataract, to Aleppo, you, literally speaking, never see a young :nan in a village, and such is the depopulation, that if things continue as they now are, for two years more, and the Pacha insists on keep ing up his army to its present force, it will be utterly im possfble for the crops to be got in, or for any of the ope rations of agriculture to be carried on. The whole of this atrocious system is carried into action by the cruellest means—no justice of any sort for the weak ; no security for those who are better off ; the bAstinado and other tortures applied on every occasion, and at the arbitrary will of every servant of the Go veretnent. In addition to this, the natives of the country are rarely employed —never in offices of trust— and the whole Government is intrusted to Turks. In short, the worst features of the Mameluke and Turkish rules are still in active operation ; but the method of app!ying them is much more ingenious, and the boasted civilization of Mehemet Ali amounts to this—that being beyond doubt a man of extraordinary talents, he knows how to bring into play the resources- of better than his predecessors did, but, like them, en tirely for his own interest, and without any reference to the well-being of the people ; and that with the aid of his European instruments he has, if I may say so, ap plied the screw w ith a master-band, and squeezed from the wretches under his sway the very last drop of their blood. Such is the state of these two countries. Syria is perhaps' the worst off of the two ; for the Egyptians, used to oppression, bear it without a struggle ; whilst the Syrians, who had been less harshly treated in old times, writhe under and gnaw their chain. The cause of the insurrection which lately broke out in the Libanus is as follows . Previous to the occupation of Syria by Mehemet Ali, the inhabitants of both the Libanus (Maronites and other Christians) and the Anti-Libanus (chiefly Druses), were mildly and patriarchally governed by an hetcditary chief named Emir Bechir. After the occu pation of St. Jean d'Acre, the Emir was decoyed into Ibrahim Dacha's camp, and there kept as a hostage. Being an old and timid man, he consented to every thing in order to obtain his liberty, and particularly to the' disarming his people ; but at the same time under a strict engagement on the side of the Pacha that the country should continue to be governed by himself, as heretofore, and that the Pacha should be contented with the tribute formerly paid to the Porte. As soon, however, as the mountaineers were disarmed, Ibrahim forcibly introduced Egyptian governors and Egyptian taxation, and particularly insisted on the corvee, in order to work the mines in the country which he had seized for himself. Matters continued in this state til last year, when he himself being on the frontier with the army opposed to the Turks, and an insurrection having broken out amongst the Druses of the Anti-Li banus, and the inhabitants of the Haoran and Damascus being in a state of ferment, Mehemet Ali applied for assistance to the Emir Bechir, to whom he made the largest promises, and succeeded in engaging him to fur nish a body of mountaineers to suppress the rising of the Druses and Haouran, and to keep Damascus in awe : for this purpose 16,000 stand of arms were issued to the Mountaineers by the Pacha, with a solemn promise on his side never to reclaim them, but to leavo them for ever in their possession. Under this stipulation, they performed their part of the engagement, and subdued the Daises by force, and kept down the others. As soon, however, as the battle of Nezib had set Ibrahim PRICE sd. tree, be determined to violate his father's treaty, and ac cordingly in the end of last May he demanded back the arms, insisted on the payment of the Egyptian taxes for three years in advance, and 16,000 men for the conscrip tion ; on this an insurrection broke out in the whole Li banus, and also in the Anti-Libanus, for the Druses, laying a s id e t h e i r anc i ent an i mos i t i es, and notwithstand ing what had happened last year, joined their fellow sufferers, and determined to make common cause with them. I happened to be on the mountain when this took place, and being detained in consequence for five or six days, was enabled to judge of their wrongs, and of the extreme justice of their cause. Their great hope was assistance from the Porte and countenance from the European Powers ; both of these, however, failed them, and the Emir Bechir, who had never counten anced them, has by the last accounts so effectually aided tit , troops, 12,000 men, sent to Beyrout by Mehemet A!i,ds to have partially subdued the insurgents and taken away their arms. in doing this, the Egyptian army has indulged in all the horror:, for which Oriental warfare is remarkable ; amongst other atrd;:ities the monks of the convent of Mar Koccas have been sie . ned in oil and burnt alive ; nor can there be a doubt, that nothing is done by the European Powers to save them, the , whole of this Christian population of 150,000 souls will be subjected to all that the cruelty of one of the most cruel of men, Ibrahim Pacha, can inflict on them ; and I have no doubt that the result will be their ultimate annihilation. I should not have gone to this length, or perhaps indeed written to you at all on the subject, had not my feelings been deeply inte rested for these high-spirited people, and had I not been disgusted at the line of policy adopted by the French. After two revolutions, which have shaken the moral world to its foundation, and both of them under the pretext of a love of liberty and abhorrence of tyranny—after attempting to force their propaganda on every country, without in the least considering the nature of the government and the national wants of the people, we find them now supporting by every in trigue in their power the most atrocious tyranny that has existed in modern times, doing all in their power to repress and keep down a people struggling for the most sacred of all rights, and playing into the hands of the Pacha, apparently because he is a rebel to his Sove reign, but also with the eventual hope of profiting by the weakening the Turkish empire, and establishing them, selves and their ac!hority in Egypt and the East. The policy of England has begin honourable, but unfortu natcly to a degree weak : ncgotiatij,sf's and threats do no thing in this country, and a very trifling !•eal demon stration a year ago would have prevented ad dui! has happened. Lord Palmerston is, I believe, not to blame in all this ; his views have been correct ; but he has been unable to carry them out in consequence of the interest that Mehemet Ali has acquired at home, and perhaps even in the Cabinet. It is but justice, however, to Lord Ponsonby to say, that he has acted in a straightforward honourable manner throughout ; that he suggested, and has, as far as in his power, acted up to a line of policy which he considered the best for our country ; and that, had he been allowed to work it out, he would long ago have settled the question, and raised Turkey and reduced the Pacha to the relative positions which he thinks they ought to occupy for the general benefit of Europe. Whilst so many subjects are con stantly held up to our country as objects of sympathy which do not deserve it, this one ought not to pass un noticed, where 150,000 Christians are struge..9g for their liberties and existence against the most cruel tyranny that ever oppressed men, and that not against their legitimate rulers, but against a rebel and usurper, who, without a semblance of right, has conquered, trampled on, and will, if no one interferes, eventually destroy them. DEATH OF PROFESSOR MULLER The following is an extract of a letter from Mr. G. Finlay to Lieutenant-Colonel Locke, dated Athens, August 8: . _ ‘;-. The subject on which I proposed writing was the melancholy death of Professor Muller, of Gottingen, He died here on Saturday, (13t inst.), in the afternoon. He was taken ili some days before at Delphi, where he exposed himself very much to the sun, copying inscrip tions for hours together, during the heat of the day. He had made an excavation along the polygonal wall, which supported the basement of the great temple, by which he had discovered a number of new and long in scriptions. He likewise discovered some subterraneous chambers under the site of the temple, but he was un able to extend his excavation, as they were under the houses of the peasants. When his illness was known here one of the royal carriages and the King's physi cian were sent to meet him at Kaya a khan, below Gyphtokastran (Oenoe), and he was conveyed here on Friday last, but in a state which rendered his recovery hopeless. ‘-‘ M. Curtius, who accompanied him, with Dr. Schoell, of Berlin, tells me that the foundation of his illness was laid by his over exerting himself at Athens, in copying the modern plan of Athens by the architects. I how ever spent a night with him and his party at Rhamnus, e t in the open air, and parted from him irreirt yat ram en be appeared in perfect health and high spirits. The foundation of the mortal disease seems to have been laid either at Orchomenos, where be slept out in a region of malaria, or by his great exertions at Delphi. As nobody can appreciate the loss the literary world has sustained so well as you, I shall not say a word on that sub ject ; but I cannot recollect his amiable, personal qual ities, and the care with which he made his profound learning available in social intercourse, without deep regret. Oa his return I expected him to pay Liosea a visit, and to examine the topographia of D'Acria : he is now buried on the summit of the little bill above the Academy. This was the idea of the Council of the Athenian University. Ile had intended on his return to Germany commencing his great work on the general history of Greece, which was to have been preceded by a topographical description of the country by M. Curtius, for which Muller would have constructed the maps and given his aid. He bad already made many curious discoveries and observations, which it is to be hoped will be given by Dr. Schoell or Curtius in an account of their journey. PROTECTION AGAINST SCARLET FEVER. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Scarletina, an annual visitor at this season, has this year prevailed to a greater extent than usual ; scarcely a town in the kingdom but has felt its effects, though some but slightly, yet in others it has been more severe than for many preceding years ; it has been almost en tirely confined to children. Nightshade has been strongly recommended by the .first physicians of Eu rope—as Dr. Hahneman of Leipsic, Dr. Brindt of Castrin, Dr. Muhsbeck of Dearmin, in Western Po merania, Dr. Dustenbourg of Warbourg, and many others who have tried and proved its good effects in all cases. Those who have used this precaution have, though in the infected houses, escaped the infection. It is also recommended by our own celebrated Dr. Gra ham. The formula recommended is, a solution of two grains of the extract of nightshade, in an ounce of Idis tilled water. To children of from o ne t o t en y ears o f , T I a g .o, from ono to Avo-dropo- thi,roo.h.t.iotictB-grven-fou• - times a day ; from ten years upwards, from six to ten drops is given also four times in the twenty-four hours. In some instances this has been continued for a fortnight. PATRONS. His Grace the Duke of Beaufort. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol.

To enter' into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which-for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been, set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of-young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary .consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ulthEately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack coy of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

There is little change in our market this week, though the demand for yarn, yesterday, was perhaps rather better than on the preceding Tuesday, but without any improvement in prices.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, Aun.3l.—The in creased de:nand for flannels manifested last Monday, has been fully maintained to-day. The market has been well attended, and many pieces have been sold at rather better prices. There is not much change in the wool market : the demand is tolerably good a t steady prices. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, SEPT. I.—The demand for most descriptions of goods to-day was equal to the average for some weeks past, at much the same prices.

Tan law relating to bankrupts is Confined to traders under certain conditions. 'Fee law relating to insolvent debtors is applielble only to debtors, whether traders or non-tradeifi, have undergone a certain imprisonment. The immediate object of the bankrupt law is the Equal distribution of the effects of traders who cannot meet their engagements ; its ordinary consequence is. the rc...1e..50 of such traders from all future liability of thee:- p e rso n s and after-acquired property: The object of the law for the relief of insolvent debtors is the personal discharge of honest debtors, prolonged imprisonment by way 0 ; punishment for the b . amongst presentdishonest effects and f r andnu du futurelent,an a d eg a u f i a r i e r d pdtr;:oprty ribution of their their creditors. It appears to us that there are defects in both these branches of the law, and that the provisions of each a t e inadeqn ite to the several objects they have in view. Tice statutes relating to bankrupts were originally enacted to meet cases of fraud, for which the ordinary forms of the law did not afford effectual remedy, and were founded upon principles of extreme severity. By p ;tngressive alterations they have become more lenient, and have been extended to many classes of persons, not originally ;;:eluded in their provisions. The bankrupt law provides, indeed, efficient means for the discovery of property and the detection of fraud, but it is defective in provisions for the punishment of dishonesty ; for if the bankrupt fully discloses his trans actions, and submits himself to the jurisdiction of the Court (even at the last moment, and after a most liti gious resistance), his misconduct, however flagrant, can not be visited by any direct punishment. On the other hand, the law for the relief of insolvent debtors affords no efficient means for the discovery of property, or the detection of fraud. but does afford (though to a very limited extent) an indirect power of pun;shing dishonest and fraudulent debtors by a rsmand to prison. There are, then, two systems of law relating to debtors who cannot satisfy their creditors : the one being confined to tr.:- ders comparatively deeply involved, whom it protects from periznal restraint ; whilst by the other, those who have contraett.:l debts to a smaller amount must undergo imprisonment. By the one the debtor obtains an absolute release, and by ale other a release only of his person. By the one prompt and effectual powers for the collection, the discovery, and the seizure of property are afforded, and by the other very inefficient means ; by the one there is no power to punish fraud, and by the other such power is given (though to a very limited extent); the one operates in invil ton, whilst the other may be, and can only effectu ally be, put in force by the voluntary act of the debtor. —.Extractfrom the Report of the Commission of Inquiry. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR AUGUST. This has been 'a glorious month—a ripening period , which has set at naught all the fictions that have been trade current throughout the country, with the sole ob j. et of 'keeping up the prices of the necessaries of life. The temperature has been most benign, for, subsequent to the 25th of July, four cit;:s only have occurred in which the maximum has not been at or above 70 deg., and on many occasions the mercury bar ranged above 10 deg. higher. All meteorological observations must to a cerzZin ex tent be local, yet we believe it will scarcely admit of doubt that, from the extreme east of England to the west of Devonshire, a vast belt of country, the finest corn land of the kingdom, has experienced little other than dry weather since May ; theretbre the few rich and fertilizing showers which fell during the period in cluded between the 10th and 21st of August have been hailed as blessings to the country. Where we reside, indeed, so droughty has been the entire summer, that bad it not been for the seasonable supply of rain the tut nips must have failed, and green fodder of any sort been extremely scarce. Even in the north and west, where the outcry of destruction was raised, we could not but be amused at reading of the great benefit which was conferred by the late gentle rains. Truly it is not a little remarkable that a country which has been deluged by floods of rain during many consecutive weeks, and ploughed up by water spouts, should, after little more than a fortnight of fine weather, find cause of congratulation in the recurrence of rain. Be this as it may, there is, and has long been, ample cause of grati tude and rejoicing —for such a harvest, so rich, so dr), so secured, has not (as a general thing) been witnessed during the course of several years. Wheat is no longer in the fields ; even the springs sown Talavera is housed ; the grain large, firm, ,and when compared with that of 1838-9, as respects size and condition, is as three are to two. Barley is cut and carried at once to the barn or rick, so trifling and so dry is the green herbage at the bottom. The Tartar] oats arc ripening the latest in the course, and are suffered to remain in sheaves, but, like their precursors, they go to the rick as dry as the sun and air can render them. 'fae red-chaffed wheat has nobly sustained its honours and acquited new ones. Beautiful and striking in ap- - pearance, its seeds, when examined closely, have sur passed those of the Chittam, the gigantic, or any other variety ; and we hope to see it everywhere. We be lieve, also, that it has established the great fact that aintzie wheat can retain its character in our soils. Potatoes must prove ' a varying crop. Our own are ripe a month in advance ; and so dry has been the whole season that the yield is very low indeed. In the north there has, no doubt, been three times the quan tity of rain that has fallen within thirty miles of London, and there the potatoes will yield in proportion ; but the average, like that of peas and beans, must be at pre sent threatening. We have accounts from Bucks, Nurthamptoa, Hertfordshire, Dersetshire, all gratify our own judgment assures us of the welfare of Berkshire, great part of the south and east of Buck ingham, and of Middlesex. Fruit is most abundant and cheap, and, as a finale, we may safely assert that nothing has occurred to damp the joy of the harvest to this day. Hop DUTY.—A deputation of Sussex Hop.. planters waited o n A ugustus E lliott Fuller, Esq , of Rose- , hill. and on G. D ar b y, Esq., M. P., o n . Thursday the 9.7tti ult., for the purpose of consulting those gentlemen as to the means best to be adopted in endeavouring to obtain of the Lorda of het- Mojesty's Treasury a remission or postponement of the instalment of hop-duty due in November next. Mr. Darby and Mr. Fuller agreed with the deputation as to the necessity for attempting to avert the deplorable consequences which must necessarily ensue, bo'h to planters and labourers, should the payment of the duty be enforced. The result of the interview was a re quisition for a general meeting of planters, to be held on Monday, the 14th of September instant, at the George Inn, Hope-green; at which the above two gentlemen will be present. The Hon. C. C.- Cavendish, M.P., and numerous other gentlemen are also invited to attend. The chair will be taken by Augustus FL Fuller, Esq., at twelve o'clock. It is obviously the interest a the various hop districts to exert themselves in this matter.—Brighton Guardian. THE HARVEST.—The result of our reading reports from all parts of the country relative 'to the harvest is the formation of a favourable opinion, as regards both quantity and condition. The rain appears to have done much less damage than was apprehended. In southern and midland counties most of ,thetcorn ixobonsed ; while in the more northerly districts the operations. of the bar v. st-ficld are going on actively, and' should favourable weather continue, the land will soon be cleared. , . All ac counts do not concur, but on tbe whole, and taking the at crags, as we just said. the crops, it is confidently anti cipated, will turn out well. iMPORTAgT TO THE Tl,"* ..
