Their lordships met at a quarter to five o'clock, the Earl of Shaftesbury on the woolsack. l‘lesengers from the Commons brought up severa rbilway and other bills, which were read a first time.

The Lord Chancellor, preceded by the great seal, en tered the House soon after five o'clock. On taking his seat on the woolsack he received the congratulations of Several peers around him. BUSINESS IN THE HOUSE. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said be would take that opportunity of stating, that under the merely ordinary circumstances attending a change of the Government, it might have been convenient to propose that their Lord ships should adjourn for a short time, the number of writs that have been moved in the other House of Par liament making it obviously impracticable and inexpedi ent as usual till some day next week. But it has been suggested that it would be extremely inconvenient if the private business were postponed ; and therefore I propose that your Lordships should continue to sit, with the un- Zerstanding, however, that no public business should be transacted till the writs which have been issued in conse quence of the acceptance of office by members of the other bouse of Parliament are duly returned. I shall, there. fore, propose that your lordships should meet at 4 o'clock on the usual days of meeting, but merely for the purpose of receiving petitions and of swearing witnesses. Lord STANLEY submitted whether, if the House as sembled so early as 4 o'clock. the sittings of the commit tees might not be inconveniently curtailed ? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had no objection that the House should continue to meet as usual at 5 o'clock. Lord Buoy. HAM was not aware how the absence of gentlemen from the other House of Parliament should interfere with the progress of business in their Lordship's house ; but an insuperable reason against a protracted adjournment was, that judgment must be given either to-o or row or the next day, in two important cases, as the learned judges whose opinions had been sought would have to leave on circuit upon Wednesday. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MOND AY -NEW WRITS. On the motion of Mr. TUFNELL, the Speaker was di rected to issue warrants to the Clerk of the Crown to make out new writs for the election of members to serve ance of office by their late members : For the city of Chester, in the room of Mr. Jervis, who For the southern division of the county of Stafford, in the" room of Mr. G.

Buller, who had ac cepted the office of Judge-Advocate-General, and for the election of a citizen for the city of Edinburgh, in the room of Mr. Gibson Craig, who had accepted the office of a Lord of the Treasury. Alter rather a warm discussion, in which several mem - bers took part, the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway and the Birmingham Extension Railway were ordered to be recommitted. The house was occupied during the rest of the sitting in passing a few Railway Bills, and adjourned at an early hour. HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY The proceedings in this house occupied only a quarter of an hour, and were unimportant. HOUSE OF COMMONS -THURSD AY The house was occupied principally upon railway bills, a large number of which were read a third time and passed. Mr. T. Duncombe presented a petition from the Duke oflßrunswick, alleging that his income bad been withheld by the royal family of this country, after which the house adjourned at two o'clock in the afternoon. .c. - HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY Sir DenisLeMarchant took the oaths and his seat for the city of Worcester.—Several railway bills were read a third time ; amongst them the Liverpool and Bury Rail way, Liverpool and Bury and Manchester and Leeds Railway Amalgamation, Manchester and Leeds Railway Extension, Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Canal Naviga tion and Railway, and Manchester and Leeds Railway Amaliamation, and the adham, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birkenhead Junction Railway.—•On the motion of Mr. Duncombe, the petition of the Duke of Brunswick was ordered to be printed. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. tbat the total losses of the Mexicans, at the engagements of Palo Alto and Reseca de la Palma were 240 and 755 men, respectisely. Our accounts from Canada by this mail are of a most interesting, but at the same time, most mournful and har rowing nature. .On the night of the 19th ultimo a large audience were p resent at the Theatre-Royal, Quebec. A fire broke out on the stage, and, the destructive element spreading with great rapidity, the spectators became alarmed. A fearful confusion arose from the rush to the em the boxes gave way, ail escape human ed hopeless, and the mass c buildings were involved in destruction. Forty- six bodies, when the last accounts left, had been taken out, but it was impossible to estimate the true extent of THE CHOLERA.—Letters from Persia state that this dreadful disease is making frightful ravages in the interior of Asia. This scourge, which has travelled through Cabul, has already penetrated nearly as far as Taheran. A letter from Route of the 18th ult. says, that when Cardinal Falconnieri came to kiss the feet of the new Pope, his holiness said to him :—" Your brother is in exile for a political cause—be may return." The Newfoundland papers are of opinion that their island is rising eradually out of the sea, and they produce well authenticated authority for the fact that it is actually ele vating itself and that too with a steady progression, and at a rate that threatens at no distant day to render useless all the best harbours on the island. THE RESULT OF GAMING.—A Frankfort journal states that a Russian baron, who had lost large sums of money at play at Baden•Beden, has recently gone mad, and is now in a lunatic asylum. At H amburgh, says the same journal, the son of a high functionary at Bonn, having lost all his money at the gaming -table, snatched up the gold, which was lying on it, and endeavoured to escape, but he was arrested, and is now in confinement. ADULTERATED HOLY WAFERS.—An English Ship had conveyed to Gijon, a port of the Asturias, a large cargo of great and small holy wafers, in which have been detected portions of wheat flour, potato, plaster, and whites of eggs, to produce consistency and bright colour. The use of animal substance renders these wafers impro per for the holy sacrifice, and the Bishop of Oviedo sent a circular to all the curates of the diocese, forbidding them, under pain of sacrifice. to use these_wafers. [lt must be a'shock to the faith•ul to find that the veritable body and blood of Christ can be adulterated.—En. 1..5.1 THE HARVEST IN FRANCE.—A great many fields of barley have been already cut down in the environs of Paris. The crop is not heavy in the ear, and the straw is very short, as was to be expected, from the long drought. but the quantity of grain appears to be equal to what is full flower, and quite ready for the scythe. It is very rare for the second crop to be fit for mowing so early in July. If the weather should be favourable, the third crop will be fit to cut in August. _ _ _ Private letters from Rome of the 29th ult., announce that the six cardinals comprising the temporary com- mission of government had disagreed among themselves, and that Cardinals Lambruschini, Mattei, and Bernetti, bad tendered their resignation A full amnesty was to in a few days.

TUE POPE ELECTED BY A MISTAKE.—IIIS Holiness the present Pope Pius IX. has been elected by a mislake, or rather, he was, as those familiar with elections in " Alerrie Englind" well know, he was set up as a candi date without the intention of his being finally elected. It occurred thus :—When the cardinals are duly " fixed" in the conclave, they begin in the evening by giving the name of one whom they have no intention should be ultimately chosen ; this is done to see to whom are the general ten dencies of their likings directed, or, in plain Saxon, as a "feeler." It appears that on the second evening of the conclave the cardinals, according to established usage, gave in the names of those whom they did not intend should be elected pope; and Cardinal Giovanni Maria 111astai Ferretti, archbishop of Imola, and now Pius the Ninth, was appointed to call out the . names as they came seven or eight billets marked with his own name. His feelings at so unexpected an honour, when it reached the fourteenth slip that his name was written on, were so ex cited that he fainted. Nevertheless, the calling of the names went on, and to the great surprise of the Sacred College, his name was found to have the requisite number of voices, viz , two-thirds of the number of the cardinals present, —Florence, June 24. MASSACRE OF EUROPEANS AT MADAGASCAR.-- Private letters received at Paris give detailed accounts of a horrible massacre of some French and English by the Hovas.—We quote the following account of the murder of an English soldier, who bore all the tortures inflicted upon him with the heroic firmness of a martyr;—" Dur ing the struggle an English soldier, dangerously wounded, had dragged himself to some bushes, where he lay con cealed. From his hiding-spot he witnessed the horrible tortures inflicted upon his companions, and for forty-eight hours endured all the torments of thirst and hunger. Hoping, then, that his life would be spared, he left the bushes, and advancing into the midst of the Hovas, gave up his musket, and requested some water, pointing to his wo _unds at the time. The chief Marsoumana sent to in quire the will of the governor, who ordered the soldier to be put to death. The Novas then stripped him, and with their knives stabbed him in different parts of the body. The soldier, who was on the ground from weakness, raised himself by an heroic effort, and, standing, submit ted without uttering a word to the tortures inflicted upon him. Perceiving that the Englishman, who was covered with blood, derided all their attempts to shake his cou rage, they commenced tearing out his nails. He shut his eves and calmly submitted. A dagger was then driven through his heart, his body cut in pieces, and his head paraded on a pole."

All the arrangements for the elevation of Mr. Brady to the Court of Chancery, and the consequent acce-sion of Mr. Pigot to the Chief Baron ship, are completed.

GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY ACROSS THE MERSEY AT RUNCORN. — The terms upon which this company are to be allowed by the admiralty to carry their line over the river have at length been definittly settled. The admi ralty, as conservators, require that the bridge, if built on arches, shall have waterway openings of not less than 280 feet in the clear ; the piers must not exleed 25 feet in the clear, with proper cutwaters ; th.t the clear headway under the centres of the arches shall be 100 feet, and the spring of the same 15 feet above the level of the highest tides.

To compensate for the obstruction which may arise to the stream, a large portion of the rocky shore on the Lancaster side is to he cut away by the company, and a part of the Castle Hock on the Cheshire side, is to be removed, so as to give the shore a regular curve.

It is somewhat singular that, at the time of the last election, Sir Thomas Wilde should have received during his stay in Worcester his appointment as Attorney- General, and that on Tuesday, on the eve of his second election, he should have received his elevation to the dig nity of Lord Chief Justice. PEEL AND COBDEN.—OD Monday last, two votes of thanks were passed to Sir Robert Peel and Al r. Cobden by the Manchester town-council—to the former for his candour and resolution in introducing and carrying the late measures of government, and to the latter for his seven years talented and influential advocacy of free trade. It is said that Lord John Russell intends to propose the immediate equalisation of free and slave produced sugar. and thus extinguish at once all the protection of our West India planters. If so he will be opposed by a re-united Conservative party, and the Whig Administra tion will be at an end. NATIONAL TESTIMONIAL TO SIR ROBERT PEEL.—It appears by an advertisement in the London papers, that a committee is being formed for the purpose of raising funds to present a national testimonial to Sir Robert Peel. The provisional chairman of this committee is Col. Peyronnet Thompson, and the provisional vice-chairman, is Captain Polhill, the Conservative memb, r for Bradford. Among the last acts of Sir Robert Peel's Government was an official announcement that Roman Catholic> and Unitarians were to be eqqally eligible with other deno minations for professorships in the three new colleges of Ireland •, and that one Unitarian would be put on the board of management and examination with one Trini tarian Presbyterian.—Dublin paper.

EBNTINCK.—On Wednesday last, an entertainment was given to ihe above noblemen, at the Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich, which was attended by about a hundred pro tectionist peers and members of parliament. Reporters were riot admitted, but we learn, from the Morning Post, that the speech of Lord Stanley was full of uncompro mising spirit, and was received with hearty approbation. by the distinguished assembly present. Lord Geo. Ben tinck was equally firm in his language, and was rewarded with the applause of his hearers. PUBLIC DINNER TO LORD G. BENTINCK.—The ban quet to be given to this distinguished leader of the Protec tionists will take place on the 4th of August, in the town of Lynn, West Norfolk. The Earl of Orford, the Lord High Steward of Lynn, has consented to preside. The demonstration is not to be confined to the county of Nor folk, as already a great number of persons favourable to the principle of protection, from the counties of Cambridge, Soffulk, Lincoln, Bedford, Hertford, Northampton, Wilts, Somerset, Devon, Surrey, Essex, and other places, have expressed an anxiety to attend, to mirk their sense of his lordship's conduct during the course of the late debates upon the Corn Laws. THE SUGAR DUTIES.--The new Sugar Bill will be the first, and prubably the only important, measure brought forward by the Russell Cabinet this session. Its provisions will be looked to as indicating the future policy of the Government; and the debate on it will most likely deter mine the position of the parties in the Commons, whose attitude is now uncertain. Two plans are pu• forward, each having some pretence to authority. The Times sup ports one, for Sir Robert Peel and his followers: the Chronicle the other, for Lord John Russell and the Whig- Radical party. The difference between the two is magni fied rather, as it would appear, for the sake of party dis tinction than for any real opposition in either principle or detail. How is Sir Robert Peel to orpose the Ministry unless he can establish some difference between his views and theirs? As a politician his first want is some ground to stand on. He has been too long used to a command of his own to readily sink down into tne position of a subal tern. Accustomed to play Hamlet, he will not without an effort rest contented with the part of Gui/densttrri. The Times is disposed to second his exertions, and insi. diously urges him to prepare his amendments. The agree ment of the rival plans is much more remarkable than their difference. It is admitted that the absurd distinction esta blished between foreign sugars is to cease at once. Slave grown and free-grown sugars are to be admitted on the same terms. The differential duty of 9s. 4d. will for the present remain, but the ad missson of slave-grown produce will reduce the degree of protection it now affords. The first provision of the new bill, we may assume, will be carried with little opposition. There will be the duty of 14s. per cwt. on British-grown sugar, and 23s 4d per cwt. on foreign sugar, from whatever country it may be brought. —Britannia. 4 to 1 on the field. 80 to 10 agst Mr. Gully's Mendicant—taken. 80 to 10 „ Mr. Wreford's Winchester—taken. 20 to 1 „ Lo'd G.

A CLOSE MATcII.—A grand match between eleven of England and the like number of the county of Kent, was commenced' at Lord's Ground on Monday, and did not terminate until Wednesday, when the all England players were the winners, but their last man had to go in (amidst the greatest excitement) to obtain one to tie or two to win; the latter he accomplished by a two hit to the leg. Kent : First innings, 91 ; second ditto, 66-157. Eng land : First innings. 71 ; second ditto, 87-158. WALKING MATCH AGAINST TIME.—A match against time, mane by Capt. Estcourt, of the 2nd Life Guards for a wager of considerable amount, (said to be 15,000 to £1 000.) to walk from the Regent's-park Barracks to the Barracks at Spital, within a mile of Windsor, and back, within twelve hours, came off on Friday, the gallant cap tain leaving the Regent's-park at eight in the morning, and arriving at Spital a few minutes before one, perform ing the half of the distance, upwards of 22 miles, in less than five hours. Captain Estcourt, after changing his clothes at the barracks, proceeded on his journey back to town, and upon his arrival at Colnbrook, a distance of about 18 miles from the Regent's-park Barracks, he had upwards of five hours to complete the remaining distance, and therefore won easily. Some heavy bets are depending upon the issue. 1 UNIVERSITY 4. CLERICAL NEWS. RAILWAY DEPOSITS.—On Friday, leave was obtained The Rev. G. R.

TUE LATE REV. MARCUS FALLootc—ln the sudden removal of this excellent minister from the world of which he was an ornament, many may inquire for some obituary notice worthy of his late labours. The present tribute may not supply an answer to such expectant friends (to those who know him best a very eloquent and descriptive testimony might still appear inadequate), but it may recall gratefully to the minds of many the benefit, which they received under his ministration, or the edifi• cation bestowed within the circle of his relatives and friends. Marcus Fa'loon was, in truth, an elder in Israel. Many years have passed away since he arose as a light shining amidst surrounding darkness. Now, evangelical men are not thinly scattered over the ecclesiastical hemi sphere; then, a man might travel from Dan to Beersheba, and meet but few true banner-bearers. Among the few and faithful of nigh forty years gone, Mr. Falloon was numbered. His head was clear in its reception of the doctrines of the Reformation—his heart was warm in regarding their grandeur—his tongue was eloquent in de tailing their place, worth, and fulness in the oracles of God. There are those living now who remember his stalwart day. Some have gone many miles on the Sabbath to enjoy his ministrations—some have grown old in places remote from his place of ministry, but have never ceased to commemorate the spiritual consolations of his preaching. In his early day, alarm was his doctrinal statements. The bishou of the time wits led to interfere, and to summon Mr. Falloon to his presence. To the prelate's statement " that it was reportet he preached contrary to the doctrines of the Church," Mr. Falloon respectfully replied, "he preached carefully no other doctrines but those of the articles and homilies." The bishop was content with this explanation, and Mr. F. was troubled no more. Fora number of years Mr. Fdloon was the perpetual curate of Drultibo (augmented in terri torial extent and ecclesiastical income since he ceased to be connected with it). With a very limited stipend, and with the necessary care of pupils, he struggled to sustain his family honourably and usefully. It was not, however, until the year 1831 that he was presented to the living of Laye (Cushendall), of the probable value of X2OO. Here he exercised a profitable ministry. He was permitted to see his sons grow up into honourable manhood. One of v„Q - icy. um,. a Os eloquent and respected of the clergy of the eity•of• Liver. pool; another is a physician of merit in the same city. The removal of his beloved partner by the hand of death, together with bodily infirmities, were burdens upon the good rector of Layde, and for relaxation and for restora tion of his health, he was lately induced to visit England, where, in the society of his sons, he enjoyed much delight, He was prevailed on to prolong his stay beyond what he had originally intended, and write to some of the clergy in the neighbourhood of Cushendan, for a supply for his church for one or two Sundays more. In writing to them, he detailed, with evident gratification, the benefit which he believed he had experienced in renewed spirits and strength, &c. But while he asked of his friendly trethren to "occupy till he came," his place was to know him no more. Suddenly, on the Ist of July, he died, under the paroxysms of an apoplectic attack. "In the midst of life we are in death." And now that he is for ever re moved from desk, pulpit, home, and flock, let not justice be tartly in an acknowledgment of his merits. With fail ings or deficienc es, we are at this hour naturally slow to hold record : he was a veteran, he was a true men. In a comparatively retired situation, among the beautiful vales of Layde, he fed a little flock ; he shared neither the honours nor the emolumentsof his more favoured brethren; he was not upborrie by the enlivening approbation of such crowds as sustain the brethren of populous towns; he might have been forgotten by the great, or unmarked by the chroniclers of popular men ; but he was not unseen of God. As true sorrow as ever filled the breasts of poor men will move many hearts in these picturesque glens ; the " love of the poor for epitaph " is a splendid metco rial. May the congregation once so dear to this valued pastor be comforted and edified under a successor worthy to fellow in the steps of the Rev. M. Fallooon !—Belfast Chronicle. GRAND PROTESTANT DINNER (From the Morning Herald.) In our impression yesterday we briefly noticed the fact that an assemblage of the country party had taken place, at the Trafalgar Tavern, at (7reenwich, on Wednesday evening ; and at which Lord Stanley attended, as the ac knowledged leader of the party. Mr. Bankes. M.P., occupied the chair. The number present. which was limited to exactly 100. com.n.ted of 40 Peers, and 60 members of the House of Com- mons. The speech of Lord Stanley was a remarkabl e exhibition of statesmanlike views, and it is much to be regre•ted that no r e porters were present to supply the pudic with a ver batim copy of his address, as a manifesto to the party, of which the noble lord avows himself the director and chief. Displaying caution without timidity, and the most con ciliatory spirit towards those of the Conservative party who have for a time been seduced from their consistency, his speech made a deep impression on all who had the good fortune to hear it, and seemed to unite with even stronger links than before those who have so ably fought the battle of protection in both houses. There was one portion of his address which was received with the most unfeigned marks of approbation—we mean his lordship's ' allusion to her determination In uphold the integrity of the established church in both kingdoms, and to resist every innovation which could have the effect of impairing its dignity and lessening its efficiency. He then, wi'll great judgment, entered into the course of parliamentary conduct which he recommended to he pursued under ex isting circumstances, and laid down the outline of the principles which the party should adopt for their guidance, in order to maintain that confidence which they had hitherto gained from the country by their consistency and energy. There were many other excellent and constitutional speeches delivered, especially those of Lord G. Bentinck, of the Dukes of Buckingham, Richmond, and Beaufort, of Lord Exeter, and Mr. Hudson. The party did not break up till nearly one o'clock, when it separated much animated with the proceedings of the evening. The meeting would have been much more numerous had not the utmost number that could have been accommoda ted been 100, to which the party was thus necessarily limited. The first names put down for the dinner were justly given the preference. We subjoin the list of those present :—Lord Stanley ; Dukes of Richmond, Buckingham, Montrose, Newcastle, Beaufort, and Cleveland; Marquises of Exeter, Salisbury. and Ely; Earls of Lonsdale, Warwick, Carnarvon, Mans field, Sandwich, Eglintoun, Lucan, Orford, Charlevitle, Longford, Ranfurly, Sheffield, Eldon, Kinnoul, Pomfret, Cadogan, Egmont, Dartmouth, Stanhope, and Munster; 1 Viscounts Combermere, Straneford, and St. Vincent; Lords Southampton, De Lisle, Will o u g hby, Templemore , Abinger, Crofton, Berwick, an d G eo r g e - Bentiock ; Mr. George Bankes, Lord Ingestre, Right Hon.

The Bishop of Oxford arrived at Osborne House on Sa turday evening, and had the honour of joining the Royal circle. The wood pavement under the grand portico of the palace has been removed during her Majesty's short ab— sence, and the Ka m pt o lit e , or I n di a -rubber, pavement substituted The Earl and Countess of Wilton were honoured by the presence of her royal highness the Duchess of Glou cester at a superb entertainment on Wednesday evening, at their mansion in Grosvenor-square. Sir Robert Peel was amongst the company. Lord and Lady Charles Wellesley sustained a bereave ment on Tuesday by the death of their eldest son. The in fant is believed to have died from internal inflammation. The second son of the noble lord has been dangerously ill from the same dreadful affection, but is now recovering. As the Marquis of Douro has no children, this child, if he lives, will succeed to the Dukedom of Wellington. The Egyptian Prince Ibrahim Pacha, will prolong- his• sojourn in this country until the 20th or 21st instant, when he will be conveyed zo Alexandria in her Majesty's steam frigate Avenger, ordered from Cork to Portsmouth for that purpose. This week the Pacha has been enter tained at Buckingham Palace, by the East India Com pany, and other public bodies, and has visited Greenwich Hospital and other objects of interest. The Pacha was much pleased at his reception by her Majesty at Bucking- Ingham Palace. Her Majesty graciously addressed the Paella by saving that she was happy in learning that the Pacha had visited England, and that she trusted that he had received every attention. The costume of the Pacha was gorgeous; it was his full uniform—the hilt of his sword sparkled with valuable gems. His Highness also wore the ribbon of the Legion of Honour. He had sus pended from his neck a large crescent studded with dia monds, and a star formed of eight diamonds. MARRIAGE FESTIVITIES.—The town of Hclywell and its vicinities were, on Tuesday last, the scene of much re joicing and hilarity, in honour of the return of the Viscount Fielding to his seat at Downing, Flintshire, after his re cent alliance with the beautiful arid accomplished Mies Pennant. of Bangor. All business was suspenJed for the day, which was solely devoted to doing honour to, and showing respect for the distinguished wedded pair. The town presented a most gay appearance, bring profusely decorated with flags, banners, flowers, evergreens, &e. A large procession, including - the roost respectable inha bitants of the neighbourhood, was formed, and, accompa- nied by three binds of music, went to escort the noble bride and bridegroom into town. The horses were taken from the carriage which contained the noble pair, and it the shouts end plaudits of congregated thousands. An address of congratulation was presented to her ladyship, by the inhabitants, to which a very feeling reply was re turned. In the after part of the day a fe'le took place upon the bowling green, and in the evening various con vivial parties were held, at which thousands of well wishes were pledged to the newly united couple, by lips moistened with from sparkling champagne to cwrw da. Amongst the bands of music which assisted in the pro cession was " Joliffe's Band," of this town. A ball was got up at the " Belt end Antelope," the proceeds from which were given to Joliffe's band, over and above the customary professional remuneration. THE Nv THER AND THE CROPS ENGLAND APPROACH OF HARVEST.—Wheat will be ready for cutting at Sutton and at Ferriby, both near to this town (H till) in about fourteen days.—Eastern Counties Herald. The harvest, in many parts round London, has com mensed.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS IN GLOUCESTER SUIB.E.—GRUBS IN THE UARLEY.—The barometer has been slowly and steadily rising for several d.ys; which circumstance, and the elemental aopearances on Wedneti .:y, induce a belief that a return of very sultry weather day and Thu it hand. Yesterday, indeed, was a fair commencement of the Dog-days. The wheat and early sown Lent crops are making rapid progress; but ae are sorry to find that the late sown barley has been attacked in a remarkable manner by a grub. which exists, we are told, to some extent, in the neighbourhood of this city and Cbel , enharn, and probably in other parts of the county. Several stalks of barley were brought to our office yesterday, each of which, a little above the point where the stem begins to thicken, contained a greenish grub about half an inch long. The plant is thus prevented from throwing out any ear—rendered barren, in fact-- Gloucestershire Chronicle. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS —WESTYORKSHIRE. —On a journey from the county of Middlesex to the centre of the county of York, on Thursday last, we observed that the hay harvest was nearly over in the southern counties; while in the midland there is still a good deal of grass cut, but not secured, and in Yorkshire, except in the neighbourhood of large towns, where tillage is plenti ful, the grass is principally standing, as in the first process' of haymaking. The produce of the first crop will be generally abundant, and the late rains will yield plenty of aftrrgra-s and good second crops of clover. Wheat, oats, and barley are generally looking well on the whole though a good deal beaten down by the late heavy rains. The p ,tatoes look well, with tew blanks in the drills; and the weather has been particularly favourable during the are last G enerally n r tenriagl lookingf'or the i newly-sown a t p u p r l i e ti s p as.nd pears.

In fact, judging Irvin pre sent appearances, we would sae that the harvest will be much earlier than last year.— Western Star.

BALLINASLOE.—The few days moisture we have been blessed maith has been eminently calculated in its r ffectsto gladden the heart of the faimer. In fact. judging from, p r e s ent appearances, we would say that the lira-vest a this year will be earlier, by a fortnight or three weeks, than that of 1813. Western Star. TuAM.—Our accounts from various quarters, o . f the state of the crops, are cheering. The wheat crop in the neighbourhood of Headford is particularly fine this sea son, and the potatoe crop in that locality is also very pro mising. The crops of every description surrounding this district are looking remarkably well. No decided case of failure in the potatoes has as yet been communicated to us.—Tuam Herald.
