Our harvest weather a ill continues fine, and there
is still plenty tO occasion for it, as a good deal of
work still remains to be done in almost every part of
the country. The ensuing week, however, blessed as
k is to be hoped it will be with the same propitious
state of the aimosphere, will scarcely leave a aegis
field of corn ungathered. The farmers are unani-
mous in eomplaioing of the shortness of their grain
crops. Wheat, they admit, has been tolerably good;
but the oats ripened too rapidly, and without filling
well, while barley has been almost everywhere a
failure. As to the potato, the Cork Eransiner re-
marks, the fear of the disease appears to have almost
vanished as our farmers allow the crop to lie io the
ground, digging them merely according to occasion,
and not as formerly pressing them anxiously on the
market in order that they might realise before the
disease rendered them valueless.
The Irish 'tenant League will hold a general meet-

Nothing resulted' bee w.curred in our local markets
during the weak, and the dulloess usually existing at this

Tbis is likely to continue for two ur three weeks more; but
after the comphtion of the harvest an wive trade is an-
ticipated, fr,un the healthy appearance of eosetnercial affairs,
the SOUEIGISeI. of credit, and the pri.sperons condition of the
'agricultural classes, which must give life and energy to the
souutry trade. As yet no very kereeptib:s effect has twee'

MONT BLANC.-ALBERT SMITH'S FARE-
WELL
-.-.

Mr. Smith terminated Lis labours for the .moon

Saturday evening. The room*, we need scarcely say, were
tilled almost immediately after the doors were opened, yet li
so admirable are the gement, made in this, the most
comfortable exhibition in London, that no inconvenience
was experienced. It is a Migrate to the manners of our
the,tre!, and the proprietors of 'micas ethibitione, that
they have not profited by the example of Mr. Smith, and
iatrcduced ebmpc■ into their gement, which would

add so much to the comfort and convenience of the spectator.
Mr. Smith ince through his performaoce for the eleven
hundred and fifty-fifth time without the slightest
dimication of that dub, brilliancy, and humour
which Ant established his claim to public popu-
larity, and which has enabled Dim to distance all com-
petitors is a similar line. The " Voyage up the Rhine "
wee sang with the usual spirit ; and Oalignani's Mee-
tenger " was celebrated I. verses which were made to allude
sheerly to mazy topics of interest of the day.
