THE 11.11:VEz;T: HARVEST LABOUR.

'Me harvest has commenced. nail so far hats
(.1,4 most satisfactorily. In the curlier districts
wheat lee not oily twin earl ied into the stack-
yea 11, but has been brought to market; and the new
whew is reported to bo of good quality. At Mark-
lane, on Monday, it is said that more than half of
what was exhibited on the Essex and Kent stands
consisted of new. The quality nay be described as
varying from good to fine; the weight was almost
universally heavy, ranging from 62 up to 64 per
bushel. The prices were quoted somewhat lower,
but still new white wheat sold at front 42a. to 465.,
and new red from tos. to 42e. per quarter. New
barley of fine quality also appeared at Mark-lane,
awl produced from 2ss. to 395. the quarter.
Now, though these are not high prices, they are
assuredly prices at which farmers who cultivate their
land well and have not entered into improvident
engagemente with their landlords, either to pay
too neich rent or to submit to burdens or restrictions
interfering with profitable cultivation, can farm sue-
etesfulle. It is useless to say, as many landed pro-
prietors arc in the huhit of saying. thtit such prices
will not enable their tenants under their actual sys-
tem.; of management, and with their present capituls,
to make living returns from their land. Possibly
mush statements may be true ; perchance tenauts,who
have more land than they have the means to cultis
vete, cannot continue to farm under prices such as
will exist in ordinary seasons with our markets open
to the world's paudnee. What then? What have
the would-he monopolists of bed gained by such an
adeitimient, or by proving their ease preaiselv as they
date it.' Simply, that men who have made incon-
siderate arrangements, who have undertaken a trade
without sufficient capital, cannot, unless they can set
then's:lves right in reference to these particulais,
make their farms pay. And can any sane politician
suppose that after the people have experienced the
benefit., of cheap food, the permanence of which
benefits is unquestionably seetireal, if they hare not
been 'inducted by lets• trade in corn, there is the
alighterat chance of re-impaing protective duties to
bolster up farmers unable to manage their business
profitubly ?
hose who have skill in husbandry and capital
sufficient for the effective cultivation of the land they
oretqw, are not only able at this moment and with
presant prices to hold their own, but they find that
they have many eioupensating advantages for the
lower veins. nt which they now univeneally calculate
OR selling Mir produce.. And, moreover, they mite
that they have now a firm footing; they are no
longer to be elated by the hope of exorbitant prices
—never obtained except at the not of immense pub-
lic calamity --or alarmed by anticipation of such de-
peeiwione as would render their pneluer of aareely
any suleable value. Making due allowances fur vie.
elution of is-aims, which is one of the necessary
elements in all farming calculations, there is no
reason ally a fanner should not now make an accu-
rate estimate of his outgaings and incomings during
n preapetive term of twenty-une years, with a bur
expectation of diminishing the one and increasing
tho other by his own care and experience, as well as!
by t: e imptovements in his art which the preeent'
active condition of the agricultural mind is certain
to pro tium.

PLATE 101111EltY.
T. (IT, 11, was indicted for stealing a silver fork sad
spoon, value 175., the property of Walter Murisse, and
More Ryon, 46, was charged with feloniously receiving the
property, knowing it to have been stolen. The male pri-
soner pfeaded guilty.
It appeared that the prosecutor was a silversmith, eim7-
ing on business in the Crescent, Jewin-street, and that Cistf
was in his service, and he had only been so a few days
when he stole the articles in question. According to the
evidence of a boy named Green, woo was about the same
age as the prisoner Cliff, immediats ly after the robbery they
went to the female prisoner, and he sew ciiir give her a silver
fork, which she took out and sold and brought hack 49. or
In., rind Cliff gave her a shilling or a lisp: nee for herself.
The next day it appeared that Cliff took Ryan a spoon,
which she also took out and sold, nod gave the money to
Cliff, and it was stated that when the articles were so given
to the prisoner they were straight and not defaced in any
manner. A witness, named Benjamin Saunders, who car-
ries on the business ail refiner, in St. John's-square, Clerk-
enwell-grevn, stated that at the latter end or July Ryas
brought him a silver fork, doubled up, and on the following
day a silos r spon,hoth of which articles lie purchased and paid
for at the rate of 4s. Dd. per ounce. This witness, in answer
to questions put to him by the court, said he knew nothing
of the prisoner except that he had seen her several times,
and he believed that she hail found the articles among dust.
heaps, and he put no questions to her, respecting how she
really became possessed of therm lie also said that the
spoon and fork had both been melted, and he was usable to
describe their patterns, or weight, or to say the exact sum
he paid for them.
Mr. Payne, in addressing the jury for Ryan, contended
that there was no evidence that the silver articles bought
by Ilse witness Saunders were the same that were stolen
from the prosecutor; and he, at the same time, expressed
his opinion that this witness ought to have been placed
in the dock for his conduct iu the transaction instead of the
prisoner.
The Recorder, in summits!: up, said that undoubtedly
the man Saunders had exhibited a great want of caution,
and he should advise hint to be more careful iu future,
fur he might depend that if he went on purchasing silver
articles in this manner from persons who were strangers
to him, and without any inquiry, he would some day find
himself in this court charged as a receiver of stolen property.
The jury found the prisoner GuiPy.
A previous conviction for felony was proved against Cliff,
and an officer informed the court that the other prisoner
and her husband had formerly kept a marine store slop
which was a notorious receptacle for stolen property, and
that since her husband had left her to go to America she
was knowit to ba iu the habit of encouraging boys to
plunder their employers.
The Recorder said he would respite the judgment in
order that seine further inquiries might be made respecting
the prisoners.

George Thomas, 32, grainer, was indicted for 'dealing a
cash-bos, two bank notes, value 1%!., forty sovereigns, and
other monies, the property of Anton Seherzenger, in his
dwelling-house.
In this case the prosecutor is a licensed victualler, keep- t
ing the Horse and Trumpeter, in Crotched-friars, and it
appeared that the prisoner and three other men came into
his house on the afternoon of the 2:2nd of July, at about
live o'clock, the prisoner having been in the habit of earning
daily for about seven or eight days before, in the looming
part, and always sat outside of the bar, facing the bar par-
lour, and had stated himself to be a clerk. Ou the atter-
noon in question the prisoner clone in with one mull, and
was shortly afterwards joined by two others, one of whom
hod always been in company with the prisoner when lie
came ix the morning. Prisoner and one of the party
went into the public parlour, and calledprorreentor in there to
order some ale and Stilton cheese. Prisoner's companionthen
went from the parlour to the bar, and asked for stem paper,
to write a note, and asked prosecutor's brother, who was
serving at the ar, to take it fur him to a gentleman named
JllOOlOll, at Page's public-home, in the Minuries. Prose-
cutor said he would go himself, and did so, seeing a persiak
who said his name was Jackson, who took he note. Prose-
cutor was not gone above five minutes, and when he came
back lie found the other three men gone, and prisoner de-
tained, and upon going to the chiffonniere discovered that
his cash box, containing the monies in question, had been
abstracted, which it appeared hail been dime during his ab-
sence by one of the party, prosecutor's wife being at the
time upstairs changing her dress, and his broth. r. the only
person then in the har,being called into the parlour. The pri-
soner protested Liv innocence, and said that the persons
' ho had been in his company were quite strangers to him.
The jury found him (lot ty.
In answer to the court, us to whether the prisoner wall
known. John Storey, City police constable, said that there
were seven or eight more cases against the prisoner, but the
magistrate thought the two he had been committed upon
would be enough to answer the ends of justice. Prisoner
was an old associate of the swell mob, and in Dial had been
transported from this court for ten years fur robbery from
the person. During the last nine mouths between 20 and
30 cash box robberies had been effected in the same way as
this had been done by the gang to whom prisoner belonged.
Brett, another City officer, said that lie had known him
fur a great many years to be u swell mammon.
The court ordered him to be transported for 10 years.
The rest of the day was occupied trying prasuners for
using bad coin, and the charges were all of the usual de-

applicable to the payment of funerals and other purposes,
and 63/. 2s. cash, in the hands of the defendant. The so-
ciety consisted of about 7,000 members in London, and
altogether, in various part of the country, of 100,000 per-
sons. A difference had arisen between the London district
and another section of the society, one section being regis-
tered and the other not; and proceedings were pending
in the Court of Equity as
from
claims upon an. alleged

to transfer the sum alleged to be in the London
and Westminster Bank to the credit of the society • the
defendant declined to do so, hut exhibited a pass-book of
i the bank, sheering 310/. standing in his own name, and soon
after resigned. Previous to this the auditors had refused to
pass the quarterly account, because the sum of 507/., stated
in the account as being in the London and Westmiucter
Bank, wrs not there in the name of the society.
Alderman Lawrence said he was of opinion, before they
could proceed further. the account ought to be audited
and signed by the auditor; ; and he thought the better
course would be for both parties to go quietly and calmly
into the account, and see it they could not arrange the dif-
. (cremes between them.

Mr. Edwards, the solicitor for the society, said, all
that was wanted from the defendant w.ui the payment user
of the money.
The defence appeared to be that the defendant was en-
titled to withhold the money on account of liability for
legal expenses.
After a lengthened disembion, it was arranged that the
case should stand adjourned to Tuesday neat, the account to
be audited in the meantime, and the trustees then deter-
mining the course they would adopt.
THAMES.

Nini Allah, a fine-lookTnTrra, between fifty and sixty
years of age. with tieing beard, and attired in the coquille
of 164 tribe, was brou4ht to Mi.- coon elurged with eousiug
an obstruction of the thoroughfare.
It appeared that about six o'clock that morning Mash-
ford, 11211. found the prisoner sitting on the pasemeat in
Rosemary-lane, where the strangeness of his appearance
drew a crowd of disorderly person: about him. Just as the

ennatable came up some of the part were engaged in divesting
hint of an unique and particuly wrought Fort of leather
haversack, which was slung round his neck, and was sulmt-
quently fuund to contain ruin% of various nations in gold
and silver to the value of upwards of 1001. As he persisted
in retaining this position, and the crowd would not disperse
whilst he remained, the constable, seeing he had a consider-
able sum, took hint for safety to the station-house.
With a sort of instinctive dignity the prisoner refused to
enter the dock, and Mr. Yardley allowed him to stand at
the bur.
Seaman, 1.50 H, who has been a great deal in the East,
acted as interpreter, but the Arab was very reserved and
taciturn. It appeared that, though a native of Bagdad, he
came last from llindostan, after having travelled a great
deal through the East, a fact which seemed to be attested
by the variety of its coinages found in his possession. On
his arrival in Europe lie visited several of the continental
countries, his last pasaport—of which he had several—being
dated from France, and signed by Lord Norntanby. Since
his arrivol he had been three nights without a bed in the
east end of London, with the sum of money described in
his possession. All that Seaman could further extract from
severwas a passion for travelling, and that he had performed
l pilgrimages, in addition to the principal one to
Mecca.
Mr. Yardley said that however that might be, at all
events he was a stranger, come perhaps to visit the Exhibi-
tion, and it was their duty to continue to protect hint, yet
it was difficult to detain him.
Seaman suggested that it was possible his houseless con-
dition and an excess iu smoking opium, a quantity of
which was found in his, haversack, might have deprived
hint our a time of the control of himself.
Mr. Yardley directed that Seaman should look out for
some one of character who spoke the language and knew
the habits of the East, and who could advise him as to the
best course which he aught to pursue in this country in the
circumstances under which he had been found. Ile must
not be abandoned to the 1,011(1011 thieves.
The Arab was then removed in a cab to escape the crowds
which had collected, Seaman being directed to report pro-
gress to-morrow (this day).

TRADITIONS FROM REMOTE PERIODS TIIROUG/I
FEW lIAND4.—In 1784, on a visit to my grandfather in
the county of Limerick, during a school vacation' I heard
him, then in his eighty-sixth year, say, that in 1711, on the
accession to the British throne of the present royal dynasty,
he heard in Cork, where he was at school, a conversation
between several gentlemen on this change of the reigning
family, when one of them, a Mr. Martin, said that he was
b. in the same day as Charles 11., on the 29th of May,
1631, and was present at the execution of Charles 1., the
19th of January, 1619. 116 family then resided in London,
where he joined Cromwell's Ironsides, and thence accom-
panied them to Ireland. The transfer to him of some for-
' feited property naturally induced him to settle there. Thus,
between me and the eye-witness of the regicidal catas-
trophe, only one person intervenes.—Nam and Queries.
