TIIS LOTHIANS, SEPT. 1. MID. Unsettled
weather prevailed until the 28th ult., with a low tem-
perature and little sunshine, while fear inches of rain bee
fallen during the month. No such fall bee occurred for
several Augusts past, sad, had it not been fur thorough
drainage, we would have had to report much injury done to
green crops. Although it hes not had much effect in retard.
mg the harvest in the low district of the county, yet in the
middle and high it has prolonged the ripening very con-
siderably; so that while on several farms reaping was
i finished on the 30th, on others, a couple of miles or so off,
little more than a comm-ncement has been made. Reaping
was general in the low districts by the 18th, and was prow-
-1 muted rapidly notwithstanding the rain, and now the sharp
dry breezes which have prevailed during the end of last
week have removed much of the evil therebyoceasioned, and
a goodly number of stacks are in the farmyards. Compara-
tively little remains to cut in the low districts, but in the
middle little has been done ; and the crops are ripening
very slowly. There are plenty of hands, and most farmers
are cutting their crops fully greener than formerly. The
wheat has not its usual length of straw, but it is clear and
Inn, while the ear seems well filled and the grain plump.
It has a fair average bulk, but nothing more. The barley
stooks do not stand high, but are close, and the ears seem of
their usual length. Tcrop seems a good average, but
we cannot expect so equal a sample of better quality than
last year. The early sown early oats ere the worst crop this
year; the quality may be fine, but the bulk is wanting ;
while the later sown or late oats are much better—in
lace,itto ea vilt. is peematere to meek yet of
the on tee Mollie been ; anictiMeeelf
we of the fine quality in the south, we mast
bear in mind that harvest, 1880, was very ants-
veuratie them, while this one is the reverse. On the
whole, we do not expect the corn crops to fill more epees in
the barn-yards than in average seasons, and we can hardly
look for doer grain than last year. The state of the
petite excites much attention, and it is quite appa•
net that the taint exists in many fields ; in some only in a
small spot or two, but in others it is more diffused. The
amount of tubers already injured is not great, but wherever
the leaves and stems become affected it is perfectly certain
that: a portion of them will be attacked also. Some fields
of earhes are) almost entirely decayed In the leaf, but
as this arises from ripeness they are more likely to escape;
yet the sooner they are out of the ground the better. Solt
rainy weather will increase the mischief. The crop is the
most luxuriant grown for several seasons. Turnips on dry
or drained lands have been thriving well, and the Swedes
are now (having thrown off the injuries arising front cater-
pillar) more promising ; we hardly think that this sort, and
all kinds grown on partially dry land, will be an average.
The rains have brought up a good deal of aftermath for
cattle, and the pastures are generally good. The demand
for hay became less and prices lower as the season advanced,
from 81 to 9d. per 22115. being its price.—. Scotsman.
Ever.—During the last month, with a moderate tempe-
rature, there has been a considerable quantity of rain, the
gauge showing a fall of three inches six-tenths, being
double the average of the last four years ; it is, however,
exactly the same as fell in August 1846. Fine drying
winds speedily put all things to rights again, and it is as-
tonishing to see how little damage this amount of moisture
has done to the crops, and even harvest operations bate
been but little delayed by it. Reaping commenced sooner
than was a month ago anticipated by fully a week • and
now, in the lower district of the county, the whole Of the
winter wheat, most of the barley, sad all the early oats,
have been cut down. Some Wien have finished cutting
altogether, with the exception e( part of &dr Wu crops,
but some fields of these arc also est. These has Wm alma-
dance of openat low wages, end Whirls has bees
lent by wind. With the exceptions( an NM hada
of early sown wheat, all the mere may be as short
of straw, but generally thick and dial an the grand. As
it takes a large number of sheaves*, Item as eidinary-sired
stack, the stackyards will be smaller than meal; but, not-
withstanding this, the crop will be an average at least in
quantity and quality. The yield of the oat crop is very
favourably spoken of, though they certainly looked shabby
enough when in the stook ; and from one trial made with
wheat, the quantity per acre was found to be large and the'
sample good, but rather dark in the colour from the qua*
tity of rain that has fallen ; this is only what might have
been expected. It must be confessed, however, that
from the large extent of grain still at the mercy of
the weather, it is too soon to speak decisively us to
the result of the whole crop throughout the country. The
tamps premise well in spite occasionally an indfferent
Rea Itetneres are now watching with much anxiety ; in
sun Adds the tops are a little browned, but this is cri-
es* memo from cold and the plant reaching maturity
then Min easy disease. Some seedling potatoes raised from
seed, seat Ikea Quito, South America, ere much affected by
it ; while Regents and Orkney reds, in the same field, con-
tinue healthy.—/bid.

Witrr.—The weather this month has been, with little
enseptios, cold, wet, and windy ; at the same time, it was
perhaps, under the circumstances of the case, well aka-
'stet' to improve and hring the crops into a general state
of maturity, which, after all, are much better than we at •
more early period prognosticated. The rain gauge shows
1i..21 inches, an unasually large quantity of moisture
flaw August. Harvest commenced in the eastern part of the
scanty about the Inth, and became general about the 25th
of the month, and another week of good weather will
suable us nearly to complete the reaping in our lower dis-
tricts, but in later quarters there will be little for a fort-
night to come. Wheat stooks well, and appears to be a
fall avenge crop, and the grain of fair quality. Barley is
generally balky. Oats, having derived more comfort from
the rains than our other cereals, bulk far beyond expecta-
tion; bat as little progress has yet been made in reap-
ing this 'rep, we are unable at present to report as to
the quelity of the pain. Beans are a abort crop, and
no dmeripties of weather can now make them other-
wise ; at the some time time, there are a few promising
fields of these to be seen. They are well advanced,
and to be Is a healthy state—indeed, some fields are
set ilewy the presses system of drainage having
modem* this erep same earlier than of old. Contrary to
exportations, primes have come round to be a full crop.
They am net fres from taint, however, as might have been
: laraUer hem the moisture with which they have been
M isms time past. It is plain that they are at
=he a precarious state, and that much must now
on the weather, as a succession of wet days may now
mum the destruction of • large portion of the crop. Tur-
nips, particularly the Swedish, have had a sad struggle to
maintain this season against the dryness of the soil after
seed time, and the ravages of the By and caterpillar. In
most instances, however, they are in a satisfactory state,
and promise to be an average crop, but in some PAP they
have little progress since last report.—/bid.

—_ _ MOULANDS.—The weather has
been coequal for some weeks, and the progress of the crops
has been much interrupted ; yet in surveying the large
extent of yellowing corn, one must be struck with even the
step at yid* it has arrived An around Perth cutting is
eftniddetiond the wheat bunches well. Towards the north-
ern pre ear Meaty it is light, and not heavy in the head.
Anned Crialfenting is partial, and there will not be much
rigs ern for sins days yet. The patches on the croft lands
at Ira Tay le* pretty well upon the whole, although not
equal, we druid think, to last year. In Strath Tay the
beret is cisme at hand, and the corn everywhere looks
well. Turnips are an excellent crop, and are probably the
i best to be seen n Perthshire. As to potatoes, we are sorry
to admit that the disease has appeared. A mile or two
above Login* wit observed several drills in a narked state
of taint, and ea haply we found that the dinar, although
not inmeneing, was prevalent in • maim of .

" Oentlenten,.—The accounts of this company have been
carefully examined by us, during the half-year ending
June 30th, 1851, with the assistance of Mr. Deloittc, end
found to be substantially correct, with the following excep-
tions. The surplus balance of 10,9521. 4s. Bd. will be liable
to certain deductions, amounting to 3911. lls. 3d., for items
agreed by the directors at our suggestion to be charged to
revenue ; bat which, in consequence of the books being IL
closed, and the inconvenience that would have arisen in =-
making the necessary entries before the accounts were
printed for circulation amongst the proprietors, will not be
charged until the present half-year, thus reducing the 231
balance to 10,580 i. 13s. 641. St
/krone Accoomvs.—lt will be observed that the sum of
51,8051. Bs. 11d. is stated to be the balance of the stores gt.
account. We have not, upon this occasion, had the stock se
adores taken, in consequence of the trouble and expense SO
which it would involve to the company ; but we have Ind- Is
=WI oar intention to the board of directors of having the
Oak in question taken on the 31st of December, 1851, k•
sag have also suggested to them some variation in the 2,y
made of keeping the store accounts, which, in our opinion,
will render the future adjustment of them comparatively g

wag.• . .
" CARRIAGE STOClL.—Twenty-eight carriages have been 3:1
broken up, and we are informed, have been ordered by the
board to be reconstructed at the cost of revenue. st.

"CAPITAL ACCOUNT.—We are glad to observe that your se
directors in their present report state, ' that as long as no IN
new expenditure of moment will be incurred without the 14
previous knowledge and sanction of the propiietors, the au
time is fast approaching when a fair approximate of the et.
company's ultimate lisbilties es capital account may become ro
a matter of fact, and not of estimate ;' and again, ' your di- ii,
rectors have no reason to believe that the already estimated 4-4:
amount of 12,000,0001. applicable to present lines and works to
will be exceeded.' TO
"We find, however, in this half-year's accounts a con- f3is
siderable sum charged to capital, for land purchased for lid
your oriTinal Manchester and Leeds line, now opened at.
upwards of ten years, and we infer that similar accounts et.
against lines recently opened will not be settled, and cone- U
queutly your capital account not finally closed for some time IC,
to come. We are, therefore, strongly of opinion that it so
woul I tend to the simplification of your accounts, to aster- se
tain your other than land liabilities; and we earnestly 40
advise that no contracts for new works be entered into after le
this date without your previous sanction, and that the eit,
directors be requested to submit to the next general meet- se
ing a list of such items of expenditure on capital account 99
as, in their opinion, are still requisite for the accommoda- at.
tion of traffic. By adopting this course you will, as appears ea
to us, not only narrow the basis, and define the nature of _II
your future expenditure, but, at the same time, relieve your
hoard and auditors from the classification between capital st.'
and revenue, of a variety of items for which they have at so
present no positive rule to guide them. We have received SO
from the board and officers of this company every possible It.
facility in the course of our examination. The efficient Li!
manner in which Mr. Deloitte (a eentleman of great expe- ir,
rience and unconnected with this district) has discharged 10
his duties, has given us much satisfaction, and afforded us It.
the fullest confidence is the general accuracy of the ac- le
counts.—WlLLlAlt DUNLOP, EDWARD HARPER." le

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said be 191
could not afford to quarrel with the auditors about so small to
a sum as the 3911. its. 3d. alluded to at the commencement lel
of their report. lie differed with them considerably, how-
e .-er, as to the subject of their remarks in the last paragraph 11l
o that report, in which they said, "We find, however, in "
le
' '1 half-year's account a considerable sum charged to se
capital," /lc. Now he thought the shareholders would not IS
consider it a very "considerable sum" when he told at.
them it only amounted to 2,0471. 16s. Id., toped- ~.80
ally when they remembered that the capital of this ;
company was very little short of 12,000,0001. The auditors is
also inferrred from this, u they stated, that there were „.
other large outstanding accounts against lines recently opened, So
and that consequently the capital account would not be 10
closed for some time. That was not the case. The whole
anammt of their outstanding land payments was 103,0001., is ,
whisk on comparison with the large land capital of the 1.11
compay, was also a very all amount. As to the capital at.
omits it had bse all poodisel purposes been closed for the

that ' capital, including all their future engagements,
would be limited to less than 12,000,000/. of money. The Se
working expenses of the company were at present 41 per is
cent., whilst they were 46 per cost. in the corresponding
half of last year. (Applause.) The half-year just ended ss
was the first time that the revearne had been debited with
all the general charges and construction accounts of the 30
company. (Hear, hear.) The remuneration to the 28 P.,
directors had been reduced from 2,8001. to 2,0001. 171
a year, though there was the same amount of 129
work to be done as when there were 36 directors who
received 3,6001. per annum. There had been a considerable IS
diminution in the arrears of calls this half-year. The matter se
of forfeited shares stood in this way i The directors had re- ... 1
ceived calls to the amount of 60,0001. upon the forfeited '"
shares, and if they did not re-issue the shares they would ge I
make a profit to that amount; but if they issued them there is
would be • loss. Tho traffic was in a very satisfactory
position. The receipts this half-year had exceeded by „.
55,0001. those of the corresponding six months of 1850. ''
From the report of Captain Loom, the general manager, it al
would be seen that this company hail the greatest security -•
for its property, which any proprietor could expect, via., 84
that the average distance travelled by each passenger, 12
was 111 miles, the amount received being 131 d. Very few ...
people rival them at a trade of that sort. It showed '''-
that the company were trading at a small rate of profit,
with some result, and he hoped that better times would
come. The Great Exhibition had abstracted a considerable "A

know how this company had become was another
plague spot, and its construction would costa million and
a half in round numbers, without any working stock. And It 4
yet it was in that locality that the directors were asked to
make new lines, although those already constructed only
paid in the gross receipts, 12s. 6d. per cent. per annum. Ire
The company were at present sustaining a loss of 100,0001. el
a year by similar unprofitable bargains, including their 81-
share of the loss on the Preston and Wyre Railway, wbleh is
was 18,0001. The total amount of loss on that line was et.
27,0001., but one-third was paid by the London and North it.
Western Company. The directors must, therefore, resist
being called upon to make those lines, b esandansus or
otherwise. The last paragraph of Captain Laws's 7.4
report was very cheering, because it showed the g
vitality of their line, and of the locality thine% es
which it pemed. It showed them that if there had beat no 6

["that the mart of the directors be received and le
