MR. W. H. RUSSELL'S LECTURE. On Saturday Mr. W. H. Russell delivered, in the Phil " harmonic Hall, the first of the three ledtures on the war `which he purposes giving in Liverpool. The body of the hall and boxes were well filled by a most fashionable 'audience, but the galleries presented only a slight muster, consequent,no doubt, on the hour, half-past two o'clock, at which the lecture took place. The reception of Mr. Russell was most hearty, indeed enthusiastic, when coming from such an audience, but not more hearty than he deserved. He commenced his discourse, which was illustrated by most excellent maps, by stating that he sought merely to give a personal nareative of the war—to narrate the im_ pressions which the principal scenes and incidents con • nested with it lied made on his individual senses, &aiming no infallibility for those impressions, nor pretending to see through his neighbours' eyes. Ile described his start ing from Marseilles on the 29th February, 1854, his fellow passengers being Greek revolutionary leaders, Italian sympathisers, socialist missionaries, newspaper correspon dents, Queen's messengers, English soldiers of fortune, and no fortune—in fact, in company with all the "Stormy Petrels " of the world, whose presence denoted the brew ing commotion in the East. Touching at Malta, where they nmained for a few days, they soon after arrived abreast of Gallipoli, and here the first indication of the mismanAgernent which he subsetiuently so fearfully exposed came under the notice of " Onr Correspondent." Seated on the beach, and looking as helpless as do " turtles when placed on their backs just before being made soup of," were two commissariat officers. The troops wanted rations, and the country abounded with cattle, but, unfor tunately, the commissariat officers could only speak English, and the inhabitants could only speak Greek, and the English consul, with his dragoman, had gone to see our minister at Constantinople, who had gone to see somebody else some where else, and the engineer of the steamer broke his leave and could not be found, and hence the officers picturesquely seated on the beach and successfully doing nothing at a Cost of many thousands. Mr. Russell narrated such, inci dents as this with an infinity of quiet humour, not a jot of which was lost on his audience, but it was only in his narration of battle scenes, where he glowed with his subject, that his power as a " word painter" was fairly manifested. Casting a melan choly glance at Scutari, within the shade of whose tall dark cypress trees so many memories lie buried, he hastened on to Silistria and Varna, and described with singular force the first outbreak of the cholera among the troops there encamped. In listening to Mr. Russell one Could easily realise the whole event, so strikingly did he present it to the mind's eye —the pleasant social party given the night before by the officers of the 7th Fusiliers, the joyous chorus, the merry laugh, the more boisterous merriment as the hours wore on, the deep silence of mid night, unbroken even by the sentries' tread, the hot oppresive atmosphere, and then, suddenly, when the angel of death had flapped his wings over the sleeping host, the whole camp. aroused by cries of pain and alarm resounding on every side. In one giant leap that fatal night the cholera had sprung eighteen leagues, and in the morning there were dead in the tents hundreds who had lain down strong healthy living men. After describing the waste of time, men, and treasures at Varna, the hesitancy of the commanders, as well on the side of ,the F. each as the English, as to what should be done or where they should go, the proiotind ignorance under which welaboured, as to the position of Sebastopol, and everything conuectel with the Crimea, notwithstanding the long existence of a Costly diplomatic staff at Constantinople; the sailing of the fleet and transports across the Black Sea; the dis embarkation in the Crimea, near the Salt Lake ; the hardships of our troops the first night - after landing, as they lay On the' ground exposed to the pelting of a Crimean storm, while the French' and Turkish armies were corn.• fortably reposing in their tents. Mr. Russell brought the allied troops in face of the enemy, and from this moment until, in imagination, the British cheer was heard ringing on the heights of Alma, the audience hung upon his words, so vividly was the "pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war" brought before. hem. The description of the reconnaissance, on the morning of the 19th September, was an admirable prelude to the bloody fight, which made memorable the following day. Presented in the picturesque garb with which Mr. Russell clothes the incident, oue could wish to have witnessed it with him, even though his pleasure should be damped by the rush of an angry messenger of death in the shape of a cannon ball in his close neighbourhood. So, likewise, in his descriptionof the battle of the Alma. The listener, warmed by the little " brush" of the previous day, is anxious to advance with our gallant troops up the despe rate height. At a glance he is able to comprehend their position, and he chafes at the break in the narration, caused by Mr. Russell's desire to explain the order of battle, which is in fact most admirably told by the map itself. And now the French have driven in the enemy's left front —the roar of their cannon is heard on the heights which crown the shore, and then the order to advance is given to the English lines. Up the light-division rush, strewing with their dead and dying the deadly steepe. They plunge into the Alms, drink of its muddy waters, soon to be dyed blood=red,- eat of the grapes in the vineyards on its banks, and, then, with broken ranks, are compelled to yield to the overwhelming mass of Russians precipitated on them. Sullenly retiring, they cross the ranks of the Guards and lltghlanders advancing to their support—all are in confuston, but only for a moment —again re-formed, the " scarlet wave" rolls up the hill and amid the roar of can non, the angry scream of shells and fierce rattle of musketry, the heights of Alma are carried by the British bayonet; the battle of the Alma has been fought and won; a deafening cheer runs along the English line ; and from the boom of a solitary cannon comes the defiance of the rapidly -retreating Russians. In the above sketch we have given the merest outline of Mr. Russell's first lecture, which, highly interesting as it was, will unquestionably be found to be the least interesting of his narrations, In it he had to wade through much desultory matter before he could bring his auditors to those scenes in the description of which he excels. As we have before remarked, we think his great power lies in " battle pieces." " Balaklava" and " Inker man" will afford the greatest scope for the display of that Power ; and whoever desire to hear these, the' most brilliant episodes of the war, fittingly told—if they would witness the mad•hitt gallant charge of the " Six Hundred," and the bloody hand-to-hand encounters which distin guished the fight of Inkerman, they will not miss being present at Mr. Russell's concluding narrations on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. ARREST OF MR. OWEN AND OTHER DIRECTORS. The offer of a reward of £2OO, for the apprehension of Mr. Humphrey Brown, is the first public evidence which has been afforded of the intention of the Government to bring to justice the managers and directors of the late Royal British Bank. For some time past most energetic measares were in contemplation by the Government, but for obvious reasons it was not deemed prudent to give publicity to the course which was under consideration. On Tuesday last, however, Bench warrants were issued by the Court of Queen's Bench, on informations filed by the Attorney-General, not merely for the apprehension of Mr. Humphrey Brown, but for the late governor, the managers, and a number of directors of the bank, several of whom have been already arrested. In the case of Mr. Owen, the first director cap tured, bail was tendered, and by direction of Mr. Justice Erle the prisoner was liberated on his own recognizance of £4,000 and two sureties of £2,000 each. A similar bail will, it is understood, be accepted in the case of the other directors. • Two or three of the persons implicated, at present in Paris, are, if not already in the hands of the officers, at least so completely under surveillance, that escape . is altogether impossible. With respect to the late manager of the bank, Mr. Cameron, there is reason to believe that, if he has not already been, he will shortly be arrested, at Paris, by the French police, on .a charge of travelling with a false passport, and when that charge—is dis posed of, he will, of course, be available for the warrant issued by the Queen's Bench. For some weeks past every one of the persons connected with the bank, and who were recently examined in the Court of Bank ruptcy, have been closely watched by Inspector Field and his stall' of assistants, and every change of residence and especially those made after the delivery of the very strong opinion expressed by lir. Commissioner Holroyd, have been very carefully noted and recorded. The prosecu tion will be conducted by the Attorney-General, assisted by Mr. Edwin James, Q.O , and so great has been' the des patch in the preparation and getting up of the case, that the :whole of the briefs, occupying many hundred pages of printed matter, have for some days past been ready for delivery. The indictment will, it is understood, exceed in length those of the famous Irish state trials. Messrs. Linkhtter. and Hackwood, the able solicitors of the assignees of the bank, will act as solicitors for the prose cution. There is reason to believe that _the activity and zeal of Inspector Field will result in the apprehension of the whole of the person; in the course of a very few days. Several of his assistants are alre zdy on the Continent, and it was rumoured late last night that a telepraphic despatch had been received, stating that two captures had been effected in Paris. The following is a copy of the placard offering a reward for the apprehension of Mr.. Brown : " Two HUNDRED POUNDS RElVARD.—Humphrey' Brown, of No. 2, Little Smith-street, We Anainster, late M.P. for Tewkesbury. A warrant for the apprehension of the said Humphrey Brown having been issued by one of the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, upon an ex.officio information filed by her Majesty's Attorney ! General, and it being supposed that the said Humphrey Brown is en deavouring to avoid arrest, a reward of X2OO will be paid to any person giving such information as shall lead to the apprehension of the said Humphrey Brown. Humphrey Brown is about 50 years of age, of middle stature (about five feet eight inches), rather stout, but not corpulent, bald, with round face and small features, of sallow complexion ; with small whiskers and dark restless eyes. Dresses generally in body-coat, and has a prompt and quick manner. Information to be given to Inspector Field, Eldon Chambers, Devereux-court, Temple ; or to Messrs. J. and J. H. Linklater and Hackwood, 17, Size-lane, London, the solicitors having the conduct of the prosecution." While, as will be seen by the ab , ve advertisement, the Government have commenced criminal proceedings against the defaulting directors and managers of " the thing miscalled a bank," the creditors and shareholders of the concern will be glad to learn that the bill brought in by the Attorney-General to facilitate the winding-up of this much litigated affair will very shortly be passed into law The bill stands for committee for to-morrow, and, although some amendments have been suggested, bearing on the case of the Tipperary Bank, it is not probable that they will retard the progress of the measure. Immediately on the passing of the act, the as • signees already appointed will be, in the words of the bill, " deemed, and taken to be, and they are hereby constituted the representatives of the creditors for the purposes of the act." Acting as representatives of the creditors, the present assignees will have the power to compromise with the shareholders, so as to bind all the creditors ; such com promise to be sanctione I, however, by the Commissioner of Bankruptcy, or a Master in Chancery, according as either of these courts may have jurisdiction in the matter; and all actions brought by individual ereditors as against alweholders will be stayed immediately on the ap pointment of the representative. As a large majority of the creditors have already consented to accept a compromise of 16s. or thereabouts in the pound, there is no doubt that the proposition will be approved by the commissioners in bankruptcy, after which the creditors may look forward to very speedily receiving the remainder of their dividends. Mr. Wyld, M.P., who has been most actively employed, ever since the stoppage of the bank, in endeavouring to effect a settlement of its affairs, convened last week a meeting of the principal solicitors engaged on the the part of the shareholders and some of the creditors, and obtained their assent to the principles contained in the bill, and it was understood that no opposition was to be offered by, or through them, to the passing of the measure.—Observer of Saturday.

INFORMATION RESPECTING CA NADA .—The Canadian Government has published an intereating pamphlet cn the resources of Canada, and the rospects in store for the industrious of all classes who desire to emigrate there. It has been gratuitously circulated throughout the United Kingdom. together with the two lectures upon Canada, delivered by Mr. Rollo Campbell of Montreal, in January last. Every clergyman in Scotland has been supplied with a copy of both, together with the particulars of the Grand Trunk-system of-Through Booking, and a Map of Canada, upon which all the Railways and their connec tion with the United States are shown.

CONVICTION OF A . RADESM N Co, FELON, .—At a petty sessions 'held at -Lawford's Gatehouse of Correttion, Bristol, on Thursday, Mr. John Frowning, a respectable tradesman, who has carried on business in that city as a painter and plasterer for the last thirty years, was charged with stealing 9albs, of lead from the roof of a house occupied by a Mrs. Clarke at Shirehampton. From the evi dence of the several witnesses it appeared that the prisoner had un dertaken a contract to repair the roofs of several houses at Shire hampton, and on Satnrday last, wanting a piece of lead about a foot and a half long, he deliberately went to the roof of the house in question, and which nearly adjoined those on which his workmen were engaged, and cut the required qnantity from the gutter. The inmates of the hoase, hearing an nausual noise on the roof, wont to an attic window to see what was the matter, when they discovered the prisoner in the act of rolling up the lead preparatory to taking it away. Finding he was discovered, the prisoner begged them to say nothing about the matter, and he would.replace the property. The parties, however, refused to compromise the theft, and sent for a• policeman, but in the meantime the prisoner had nailed the lead in its former position. In his defence he said he was under the impression that the house from which he took the lead belonged to the same landlord as the houses which he Wes repeiring.

The sales were 10,000 bales, of which 5,000 were on specu lation and for export. In the Liverpool Share Market to-day there was a moderate business transacted, and prices were rather better than at the close yesterday. The following were the day's transactions : Caledonian, 36f ; Great Southern and Western, 511; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 100/, 101, 1001 ; Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport, 191; London and North Western; 10414 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 421 I ; Midland, 831 i; North Eastern, 229 ; Leeds Capital Stock, 22 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 16 1-16; Great Western of Canada, New Shares, 11 p.

'rhere still continues to be an active demand for Money, but the pressure is not so, great as it was some days ago. In some quarters it is believed that there will be a little temporary ease in the Market, and should the speculative demand in the foreign stocks and share markets not revive, the only drawback, will be the provision of the amount, which it is estimated will reach 1,000,000/., to be forwarded by the Peninsula and Oriental Steam Company's vessel of the 20th. The advices from the Paris Bourse have not heed en couraging the last two or three days, but it • appears to be an erroneous impression :which attributed the weakness to the unfavourable nature of the accounts of the silk crop. The fact turns out to be that the adjustment of the account was accompanied by several defalcations on the part of operators, and that the necessary measures for closing their bargains produced the depression which has been evident. The opinion now appears to be entertained that, the liquidation having been effected, there will be more firmness ; and already a partial re• action has been manifested in the prices. Yesterday there was a much more confi• dent feeling expressed with regard to a prospective amelioration in the existing position of affairs ; and the favourable nature of the Bank accounts; together with a further reported increase in the stock of bullion in the vaults of the Bank of France, caused greater animation among the speculators. Some parties went so far as to assert that there is a probability of a reduction in the rate of discount, both on this and the other side of the Channel, though it may be premature to ex pect any great alteration until some certain esti mates shall have been formed of the condition of the crops. The public have so long waited for an al teration, that the least glimmer of hope seems to exerciselt strong stimulus, and consequently mnch greater buoyancy was exhibited throughout the day. The satisfactory manner in which the en gagements of all kinds have been met during the last week must convince the bank directors that everything is in a very sound position ; and since they have used ample discretion in former cases, there is every reason to believe that so soon as they are in a situation to give the mercantile community any relief, they will readily relax in order to mitigate the severity of the pressure which, for four months past, has unfavourably influenced trade. The market for the public funds and securities to-day was rather more firm, though no advance occurred in prices. At first the favourable . Bank return, showing an important addition to the reserve notes, and the bullion, together with the advices by telegraph, announcing further specie remittances from Australia, which from the dates of their departure cannot now bo far off, the funds appeared buoyant, and Consols for a moment were about 941. When, however, further particulars of the accounts from the East were published, and it was found that, although the Indian exchanges tended downwards those at Hong Kong were firm, if not rather higher, few sales were made, and the market became fiat. The variation, however, was not important, and as it occurred after official hours, when the attendance of dealers was con tracted, the quotations last current can scarcely be accepted as an index to the general condition or tendency of the market. There is certainly little prospect of the drain of silver yet receiving a check, but if no efflux to other parts of the world takes place there is little cause for uneasiness, as a further slight declinein the rates at Calcutta and Bombay would drive out the export thither. Con suls for immediate transfer were 934, 941; the latest price being 94 to 941, , For the 9th proximo they were 941, and "after hours" within a fraction of 941 ; the fluctuation, therefore, scarcely amount-: ing to 4 per cent.

The official returns of the exports of the precious metals from the port of London, for the week ending 29th May, sum up 9,120 ozs. of gold and 7,840 ozs. of silver. From the manufacturing districts we learn that very little business has been done during the last week, the Whitsuntide holidays having caused a complete interruption to business. The WorSted Trade at Bradford has shown considerable activity, and in piece goods more business has been done than for some time past Prices generally were steady. At Manchester trade ruled inactive, as is generally the case during Whitsuntide. The demand for cloths, however, suitable for the China and German markets has been good, and prices ruled rather firmer. Respecting the movements in Mines . during the week, the Mining Journal of this day says : • The past week has been particularly dull, even for Whit sun week ; but this dulness has been brought about not so much from the difficulty in finding sellers of such shares as are chiefly in demand. Dividend shares have been most in request this week, though a few inquiries have been made for good progressive mines. Basset 260 to 265. South Francis shares have been in demand at 310 to 320. Grambler and St. Aubyn Shares are flat at 100 to 105, Rosewarne 44 to 45. Wheal Margaret shares have been quiet at 62k, Providence 723 to 75, Great Alfred 73, Alfred Consol 173 to 171. Great South Tolgus shares have been flat at 17 to 18, Wheal Tehidy 23 to 22, Herodsfoot 63 to 73, Wheal Granville 13 to 13, Wheal Edward. shares have been largely dealt in at 53 to 63, leaving oti at 6to 63, Lady Bertha. to 3, Sort. ridge in request at 13 to 2, South Tolgus 140 to 146, East Devon 85 to 95, Llandudno 3, North Croft," 5 to 53, East Cornwall 2 3 to Botallack 265 to 275, North Bassett 193 to 20, West Basset 29 to 30, East Trefusis 5 to 51, Cook's Kitchen 53 to 51, Wheal W rep continue flat at 7, Trewetha 23, Trelawney 24, Mary Anne 46.

During the week the foreign mining companies have received information from their agents abroad of the usual character. The Alten report their produce for April last at 152 tons of copper ore. The Copiapo statement is, on the whole, favourable. The Iberian Company's dressing during the last month was 63 tons. The Castilian produce for the same period was reported to be 13 tons. The Peninsular return for May was 35 tons. From the Pontgibaud the returns are said to be large. The United Mexican report states that the Maria and Jose lode was averaging weekly 700 cargoes of clean ore, and that 5,000 dollars had been received on account of the Zacatecas claim. The only Foreign Mining Companies' meetings which have . been held this week are the Fort Bowen (new company), at which a favourable re: port was read, and the' accounts showed a balance in hand of 94/. lOs 4d ; Mr. Powell and Mr. White lock were elected new directors. It was stated that a watercourse would be . necessary for the proper working of the stamps, and that for the requirements pointed out by the mining captain about 3,000/ would be wanted. By the.middle of this month a report was expected as the result of the first month's trial of the stamps for the pro duction of gold from the ore. The report was adopted, and the accounts passed. The Australian 'Freehold Gold Mine, at which a resolution was passed to stop the proceedings in Chancery and to divide the assets in hand over the 10,419 shares; if on the settlement of all the liabilities, and the disposal Of the other assets, any surplus should remain, it would be divided amongst all the share holders. According to the report of the Clarendon Mining Company the inspecting captain was to leave Kingston,.on examination of the mines, on 'the 11th of May. - The London Metal Market has been rather dull. A. reduction of id per lb on manufactured Copper, and of 9/ per ton on tough cakes and best selected, mast be reported, and it is generally expected that there will be a very large demand at these rates Iron is becoming lesaactiVe, and the Welsh makers have been 'obliged to accept lower rates fru both bars and rails Lead maintains itself very firmly; and there seems little prospect of, lower rates at present. Spelter is inactive, and the business of the week has been very limited. Tin has el perienced a fall of 5/ per ton on British, but nothing his been done in foreign, quotations for which are still merely nominal. Tin plates have given way a little ha price, but the demand is small. • We have Melbourne dates of April 15 by the arrival of the European at Suez, with _48,0001 specie. Cominercial affairs were dull. The mining intelligence is satisfactory, as gold was being pro duced in large quantities. The export of gold from Melbourne for England during the month had been 171,400 ounces, valued at 685,600/, viz. : —On the 20th•of. March, the Frances Henty, with 24,700 oz. of gold ; on the 21st of March, the Tudor, 14,500 0z..; on the 25th March, the. Kant, 69,200 oz; on the 6th April, the Champion, 32,800 oz. ; on the 7 - th April, the Rexburg Castle, 30,200 oz. With regard to the Linen trade in the North of Ireland, we learn that the weather has done all that could be effected for the young crop of flax, and rarely, if :ee.r, haYe the lands sown with this staple looked so well as they do at present. Foreign lots of fibre come slowly to hand, and . for prime Russian -full rates are paid. Home raised is scarce, and sells at rates which should well repay the farmer The flax mills are pretty well employed. Tows, of all varieties, sell readily, stocks ranged low, as do also . those of prime Warp Yarns. The power-loom is - making a desirable change in Flax spinning ; the - superior article re quired to stand the Machinery causes spinners to use the best material, and 'the result has been to give quite a higher character to 'lrish spun Warps. 'White Linens sell with leas ease, but in' general the market is healthy, Medium Goods for the Shirting trade-are- more looked for, and brown finished Linens have had a sfeady sale. In the public _markets no large, transactions can- be reported for -the week. Buyers have seemed willing to take stock freely, at the extreme values of last month. The steam-loom system goes on prosperously, and, were money easier, there would be a great accession of power added to the present productive resources of the Ulster Linen Manufacture.

DonsTE.—Taz WEATHEN AND Cll.ol , B.—The weather is now all that can be desired, and the crops have in general a healthy appearance. The hay crop is much improved by the genial showers of last month, and promises to be abundant. The potatoes look well, but little can be said of them yet. _ _ At the Kilmiihael market last week prices were anprecedentedly high for all kinds of stock. Dumbarton Carman fair took place on Wednesday, and prices, although lower than those atlmichael, were high for first-class cattle, a lot of Colonsay stots having cold at £l4 14s. The number of Highland cattle was rather under the average. There was a good number of .mitch cows on the ground, and first-class beasts made a ready sale at high prices. The supply of horses was very limited, and few sales. The markies, in the forenoon was rather a dull one.— North British Daily Mail. HERRING Frsumo.—During the last week there was a good fishing at all the stations in the Lewis. There are now 530 boatsemployed at the different stations, 3 0 of which are engaged at the Stornoway fishing's, The largest catch by the latter boats was on ruesday, the 26th ult., when the 300 took an average of 10 cram (about 7,00) fish) each. The take has not been general, some of the boats having caught above 100 crane, while others have not reached 10. The average catch for the season is 25 cram. The 'steamer Clansman, which arrived here on Wednesday, had 1,100 barrels and boxes on board, 80 of which were landed at Greenock. The fish were of excellent quality. Fresh herrings were selling yesterday at 21d each. —North British Daily Mail. RESULTS OF STALL-FEEDING CATTLE.—A veterinary survon of our acquaintance, confirms our statements, and asserts that there is a marked constitutional change for the worse in the cattle which ate now bred. He finds that, though improved in firm, they are less vigorous tl:an they were: twenty yea , s ago, have a distinct hereditary tendency to diseases of the respiratory organs, b, come more easily affected by the depressing influe•.c.s of cold and wet, and cannot bear depletion and purging when ill, as their progenitors used. The dis eases which he is now called upon to treat are of a lower tyye, and not so miscellaneous as they were. Those of the alimentary organs and of the brain do not prevail so much. He now not uncommonly meets with cancer, especially of the tongue, parotid gland, and of the upper maxillary bones after bones.—Medical Times. THE IRON AND COAL THAD EL—The Wolverhampton Chronicle says:—The demand for first class iron is brisk, but inferior sorts are not in gre t request. The inquiry for ra;ls is increasing, and the demand for bars and plates is good. The money market continues tight, and there does not seem at present any disposition to reduce the rate of discount, which circumstance operates rather unfavour ably upon the trade. The reduction of the Amer:can 'ariff which comes into operation in July next. has not led to any very ncreased demand for that country. It is the oph,lon of some that as the iron trade in America Is ra;ddly developing itself, and the facilities for the conveyance of ihe materials and transmission of the metal to the various parts of the country It -s, the Americans may gradually reduce their tariff without rendering themselves liable to a greater comparative competition. A trial was made at Lord Ward's new mills and forges, at the Round Oak (which works will soon be in operation), of some puddle bars, produced front hls lordship's pig iron, made at the Lentil FarnacA, which are contiguous to the new works, and the result has been highly satisfactory. The iron produced has been severely tested, and for toughness and fibre cannot be surpassed. Good mine iron is advancing a little in price. and eagerly sought after. The coal trade, considering the time of year, is brisk, an •1 our last quotations firmly maintained. - The anspiciotis weather with which the country has lately been blessed has contributed in a great measure to make up for the disad vantages of an unusually late seed time. The crops everywhere look most luxuriant, and the rapid growth and exuberance of vegetation. which have been experienced within the past week, are unprecedented in these latitudes. New potatoes, grown in the open air, have been in $ the market for some time; the crop of the national esculent promises to be abundant. Wheat, too, looks remarkably well ; and the flax crop is all that could be desired. —lrish Paper. Conniterdat Sato, THIS DAY.
