THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

Bucks.—The present acceptable settled fine wea-
ther is welcomed by the industrious egriculturies in this
locality. Daring the past week the greater portion of grain
has been well b al, particularly barley. Should this
propitious time contiuur a low days longer, all anxiety end
sue will vanish. It is hoped the corn is not so materially
damaged as was generally expected, but ea the whole a lair
average yield is calculated on.—Baas Advertiser.
CANISIDOIIIIIIIIII —For the last eight or ten days we
have had some very delightful harvest weathet ; and
although the injury both to wheat and barley is quite here-
parable, still, where the farmers exercised patience, they
have had an opportunity to secure much of the grain in
geed modifies, though greatly discoloured and sprouted.
The grain,both wheat, Miley, andoots, cannot *ail to be
much of ed inferior quality, apart from the damage from I
rain, although we beitevo the crop to be a heavy on. taken
as a whole. The stacking is unusually bulky; and where
the crepe were not farwird the damage by the rain is less
serious: while the gnus and turnips have progressed ad-
mirably; the latter perheps, were finer. Potatoes
are diseased in plata% very badly; in other places not more
than a third or a fourth part is yet affected. The crop,
however, is far from good, to say nothing of the bight. On
several of our earliest farms the harvest will be completed
this week, that is, by Sunday, the 6th inst.; and, if the
sante favourable weather should continue, next week will
wind up nearly the whole county, and aken altogether
secured with far less damage than at one time would at all
have been expected. It is certain, however, that thousands
of acres have been stacked in the middle of the month in
most woeful °tradition in this neighbourhood.—Cembricfre
Chronicle. . . . .

CVIIIIILLAND.—The weather during the past week has
been nemewhat showery, but not so much so as to impede
harvest operations to any great extent. In all parts of the
county the mops are abundant, and considerable portions
have been secured in the best condition. A short tune will
now suffice to dispense with the labours of the reaper*. who
have been earning excellent wages. The potato disease
still progresses, but not, we are glad to state, to that
alarming extant which woe a Tat predicted.—Corlitie
JossrnaL
GLAIIOIOAWSIIIII.—We have had several favourable
days for harvest operations since:our lett ; but there have
*be been very wet intervals. We fear that the potato crop
is very seriously affected in this district. The samples
which have been shown to us, as fair specimens of the
puma condition of the whole produce, are far from affix&
lardlees that previous reports had exaggerated the evil.—

LlICUTZlllllllal.—With the eruption* of one or two
rather heavy passing thunder-showers we have had a fine
week, end harvest operations have proceeded with great
rapidity. Our district correspondents confirm their reports
of last week, that the injury dose to the crops by the late
unsettled weather is much less than was at first aoticipated ;
teed we end that a similarly encouraging view is now taken
by the agricultural correspondent of the Journal, who says:
The mischief is far from general ; sad though the quality
of this grain will be rough and of light weight compered
with that of last year, yet we believe theyaunty will nearly
reach an average its this neigh "—Leicester Mer-

SKIOPSZISIL—The harvest in this neighbourhood (We!.

night ; and if the weathakeips up • few days longer there
will be little remaining out. It has been neared in pretty
fair condition on the average. The potato disease has not
been so bad for several years, and is getting worse every

last woes has been favourable for harvest operations. The
greater part of the grain is cut, and carting has tor the last
few days progressed rapidly. Should the fine weathea
continue for another week, nearly the whole will be se-
cured. Heavy crops have suffered from blight and mildew
and the quality is somewhat deteriorated, but on the whole
the crops ha this district an a good average. The report of
the potato blight is spreading sods very discouraging.

have been favoured with during the peat week be conti-
nued, one of the finest and moat abundant crops ever
housed in this district will be got in in the comae of a

THE POLICE COURTS.
GUILDHALL.
Woo. Whit*, • constable of the Thames division of police,
was charged with the manslaughter of M ry Ann Chambers.
James Morrison, of 4, Wilson-street, Goswell-street, one
of the Thames police, maid—On the 19th of the present
month I was in company with the prisoner and a tollotan,
sad we all went into the Half Moon, in Smithfield. A
woman was standing at the her, and on our leaving she fol- '
lowed us out. A City policeman ordered her of hut she
came up to us again. The tollman shoved her away, and
we (the prisoner and I) wished the tedium good night, and
left him talking with the woman. In Long-lane we fell in
with her again, and the prisoner happening to tarn round
saw she was following does behind as and pushed her
back, when she fell spainst the wheel of a cab that was
wending there. I said, " Let us pick her up," but the pri-
soner reined, and we walked away.
Constable Eames, 2.s6—About three o'clock on the morn-
ing of the 19th ult. I saw the prisoner sad the last witness
with a warren at Smithfield-bars. I found they wished to
I pt rid of her, and accordingly directed her to go away.
She immediately ran through the pens towsrds Long-lane,
and I returned to the prisooir and said, "There she goes
up LongAane." One of them, I cannot say which, replied,
"If she collars me *gain I will give her something." I then
went into Long-lane, where I met Roland, 247, and while
talking with him I heard a scream and cries of " Police,"
and " Stop him." I immediately proceeded to the spot
whence the cries emanated, and found the woman lying on
the pavement. Roland reached the piece before me and
lilted her up, but she was unable to stand on her feet, and
complained of pains in her back, and intimated that she
had been hurt there. A stretcher was then procured, and,
with the assistance of Roland, I took her to the station, and
from there she was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's llos-
pital. I asked who had pushed her down, and she said,
Two men." I then inquired what two men, and she re-
plied, " Tile two policemen knocked me down."
Roland, 247, corroborated this last witness's evidence, and
said he saw no marks of blood on the woman's penes.
The prisoner was then remanded, and bail refused.
