RESULTS OF THE HARVEST.

With the exception of lame- beans, and here and
there a very late piece of wheat, the harvest may be con-
sidered to be concluded ; and from all the accounts we re-
ceive, the results are as far from satisfactory as was antici-
pated. Every farmer who has thrashed any wheat is die-'
appointed with the yield, even from crops the appearance of
which when standing promised well. The sheaves, how-
ever, were universally light, betokening an indifferent yield.
In one instance, on an extensive farm in Essex, the wheat
crop of last year yielded an average of five quarters to the
acre ; this year, one of the best pieces has been thrashed,
and the yield has scarcely amounted to two and a half
quarters per acre. Early in the week the price of
wheat in Mark-lane rose 41. to ss. per quarter; but
subsequently the markets have been more quiet, though
still advancing. Some of the best samples sold fur
60;. per quarter and upwards. Other price', too, are
tending upwards. Part of this increase of price must be
attributed to the threatening aspect of Eastern politics, from
which a stoppage of some of our supplies is apprehended.
The French buyers have Elio again visited our markets.
That we have a short crop of wheat is undoubted, and it is
neither useful nor right to deny or conceal it, for the best
remedy in cuoh case is as much and as early economy in
consumption as is practicable; but we incline to think
that opinion as to the el< ficient yield may have somewhat
outrun the reality, for all comparisons are made with the
yield of last year's crop, which, though badly harvested, was
unquestionably one of the largest ever grown in this coun-
try. It is stated that large purchases of wheat and dour have
been made in New York for shipment to this country as
well as to France, and as the American crops are extremely
good, it is certain that our present prices will draw large
supplies from that quarter.
In Canada West, a fertile and rapidly-improving district,
the harvest has been bountiful. Many of the Canadian far-
mers are said, by competent observers, to be decidedly
superior to those of the States.
Though potatoes are much affected by disease, it seems to
be more partial than at one time appeared likely, and such
is the case in Ireland, where, as growers say, the crop is
iligant," consequently some loss may be sustained without
so much injury as was anticipated.
At the great Michaelmas cheese fair at Reading, the
quantity was little more than half that pitched last year,
and ;wrier was kali.
The domed ta meet is rather checked by the uncer-
teletyefmeting pesspests, but live stock and meat of all
kinds seshisee le esil estreesely well.

GERMANY.

A Vienna correspondent writes :—" Among the
many considerable personages present at Olmutz
during the recent conferences, the Vienna papers
mention the names of the Barons James and An-
selm Rothschild. We may be pretty sure that the
opinions of these gentlemen, so far as they were in-
vited, were decidedly for the maintenance of peace.
The Austrian Minister of Finance builds all his hopes
upon a pacific issue of the present differences. The
reduction of the army will not, however, take place
in anything like the extent announced by the
newspapers. The treasury is in a state of great em-
barrassment.

OMNIBUS RACING AND MANSLAUGHTER.

Yesterday Mr. G. S. Brent concluded an inquiry
at the Middlesex Hospital touching the death of Jamie
Mason, aged 53 years, who died in that institution on last
Saturday week from the effects of injuries he received by
being ,Issued against a street po° tat the comer of Great
Portland-street and Mortimer.street, where he kept an
on the previous Saturday, the 17th sit.
A great number of witnesses were illumined, the son of
mime evidence was the following :—Aboat Ave minutes to
n.ne o'clock on the night in question deceased and his son
were standing in the gutter behind the stall, opening oysters
for customers, when two omnibuses, as Islington and Chel-
sea, and a Hackney and Clasen one, came along at a
furious rate from Regent-street, and in trying to win the

turning into Mortimer-street the Islington omnibus an
so close to the kerb-stone that before deceased could get
out of the way he was caught by the splinter-bar,
and squeezed against the poet with such violence as
to cause him to vomit blood, according to one witness,
nearly the height of the omnibus roof. His eon was also
struck, sad was severely but not dangerously hurt. There
were plenty of lights at the comer, and one witness called
out to the driver to pull up, but was not attended to. The
pace seemed to be between eight and nine miles an hour.
'I in deceased had been there continuously for about twelve
months, and off and on for the net five years. All the wit.
fehill agreed that the accident would not have occurred if
the drivers had been going properly along. On the com-
p' etion of the evidence the coroner summed up, explaining
the law relating to such matters, when the jury were left
alone, and, after about an hour's consultation, returned a
verdict of " Manslaughter" against the two driven, Titus
May and John Wood, appending the following addendum
to their verdict, " And the jury consider it very deairable
that the air) nand in Great Portland-street, between Mor-
timer-street and Gifford street, should be removed to,
another locality, end thus allow John-street and Great

Portland-street to be u formerly the great line of thorough-
fare for omnibuses between Chelsea and Islington, by which
meats the narrow thoroughfare of Mortimer.strest would
be avoided by them, and own:ream similar to the present
might be .or the frare prevested."

instances to an enormous extent, putting on the true
choleraic character—rice water discharges, cramps,
and extreme physical depression.

ITALY.

Letters from Rome of the 23rd tilt., state, that
Cardinal Antonelli, the Secretary of State, and
General Monreal, tho Commander-in-Chief of the
French troops in the Papal States, had each re-
ceived a despatch from Civita Vecchia, announcing
that the inhabitants of that town had revolted. One
of those despatches was sent by the Ab-Legate, and
the other by the Military Commander of the town.
Although the 40th French regiment is quartered at
Civita Vecchia, General Monreal thought it his duty
to send reinforcements. The revolt was caused by
an announcement that the government had proposed
to suppress the free port. The Secretary of State
announced that the project was abandoned, and
order was immediately restored.

RELEASE OF iIfIRTI.V KOSST.I.

The steamer Asia on Sunday brought news from
New York that the Russian, Prussian, and Austrian minis-
ters had given in a protest at Washington against the con.
duct of Captain Ingraham, the captain of the St. Louis.
United States frigate, who so energetically took the pan of
M. Koasta at Smyrna a few months ago when that gentle-
man had been violently seized by the Austrians. Yester-
day letters from Constantinople brought intelligence that
M. Koasta had been released from the interim custody of
the French consul. This event has taken place with the
concurrence of the Austrian Internuncio, M. de Bruck, and
of his government. On the 19th ult. Mr. Brown, the
United States charge d'affaires at Constantinople, left for
Smyrna, where he would see M. Koasta put on board an
American merchantman, which was to sail for New York
from Smyrna in a few days. The Austrian government
has displayed a singular prudence in this step, sad, having
betimes conceded all the substance, may safely assume a
higher tone than ever in her paper contest with the United
States.

Windsor' and Malden; and it would afford to the various
towns and districts bet•er accommodation thin • series
of competing parallel lines, each attempting to vie with
and ruin the other. It would have the effect of benefit-
ing the Grand Trunk, 17 procuring for it the hearty co-
operattun of this company, in exchangiag with it, at its
legitimate teruiiiiat,uie at otonto, its ersper proportion of
the great travel which must RAW on to the Great Western
line at its western termini, and would save the Grand Trunk
the necessity of working an unremunerstive line of 170
miles, and, after all, not getting any of the through travel, if
they force us into a state of competition. It would ensure
at an early date the doubling of the Great Western line
from London to Toronto, a measure which the vast traffic
will, under any circumstances, soon render indispensable.
All that is wanted to accomplish this is, that the sharehold-
ers, the men who provide the means to carry these great
works into execution, should assert the power which they
posse's, regardless of the interested clamours of contractors,
who having got very heavy prices for their work, are uatu-
rally anxious to get as much of it to do as possible."
In conclusion the board say that " nothing would give
them greater pleasure than to have the English share-
holders send out two or three of the best and most impar-
tial men that could be selected, to inquire into the present
position and policy of this company, to inform themselves
thoroughly as to the facts herein detailed, and to examine
into the prospects of this company's fulfilliog the
expectations which we now hold out. To such a cum:aisle°
fairly and impartially selected, the board would be most
happy mad ready to afford every possible assistance and in-
formation. The Great Western has truth and justice on
its side, and only needs that truth to be anaiysed and inves-
tigated to place the company in the position which it ought
to occupy; and the board are satisfied that no other effect
can Cellos" the strictest investigation into the Great West-
ern, its position sad prospects, than to place it more firmly
and securely in the public favour."

SOUTHWARK.

Several occupiers of comaton lodging-bottom in the
vicinity of Tooley-stmt and Snow's-fields, very low
localities, and densely populated by Irish, were summoned
before Mr. A'Beckett for unlawfully allowing a number of
persons of both sexes to sleep in their rooms, such not
being properly cleansed and registered according to the
new act.
The first ease taken was against Daniel APCoray, an
old man, occupying a dirty house at No. 11, Magdalen-
court, Tooley-strest. This house has been some time one
of the filthiest lodging-houses in the Borough, and Sergeant
Wright, 42 A, proved serving a notice on the defendant,
signed by the Commissioners of Police, on the 13th of
November last, calling upon him to have his house pro-
perly cleansed, and pat in the condition required by the set
of parliament, previous to its being registered under the Com-
mon Lodging-houses Act. The defendant had neglected to
do so, and on the 14th of last month Sergeant Smith, 54
A, accompanied by Sergeant Wright, proceeded to the
house in question between one and flee o'clock in the morn-
ing. The house only contained three small rooms. There
were two beds in each room, in which slept twelve persons.
They were covered with filth, and there were no partitions
to separate the sexes. The water closet was also very bad,
and all in such a condition that the Commissioners of Police
could not register it. The whole of the occupants of the
rooms were low Irish.
Mr A'Beckett stated that the let of parliament respecting
houses of that description was one of the best that had been
passed for the health of the poorer classes of her Idejesty's
subjects, and he should always be happy to put it in throe,
especially when cholera was spoken of in some of the
thickly populated parts of London. He should therefore
inflict a penalty of 40s. and meta on the defendant, ad-
vising him, at the same time, to have his place properly
cleansed and registered before he admitted other lodgers.
The nest ease was against Patrick Connell, another
Irishman, renting a filthy house containing three smell
rooms, at No. 3, Palmer's-rents, Snow's fields.
The °Moen found three married couples in one room, all
huddled up together, on the floor, with no partitions.
This house was also not registered, and in a most filthy state
and full of vermin.

Mr. A' Brekett fined this defendant also 40s. and costa.
Jahn Guirky, the occupier of No. 2, Palmer's-rents, was
also fined 40e. and costs, his rooms being filthy in the ex-
treme, and the house in such a state that the commissioners
could not register it. There were children, men, and
women all lying promiscuously together, and the defendant
had refused to pat it is a eowlithis fer • tratiost.
Three other mese were withdraws, t so*. sot

The price of gold yesterday at Paris was about
3 per mule prem. (new tariff rate), which at the
English mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 23.221 ; and the
exchange at Paris on London, at short, being 25.03,
it follows that gold is about 0.693 per cent. dearer in
Paris than in London.
By to-day's advice. the price of gold at Ham-
burg i 54251 per mare, which, at the English mint
price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 13.51 • and the exchange at
Hamburg on London, at ehort, being 13.31, it fol-
lows that gold is about 0.938 per cent. dearer in
Hamburg than in London.
According to the last accounts, the course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at sixty
days' sight is 1091 per cent., and the paretenebeige
between England and America being I
cent., it foilowe tWW• enabinigiiiirnent°=* 4111.
per cent in favonrThiL England. After making •
allowance for difference of interest and charges of
transport, we find that the present rate leaves no
profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

The chief features in this return are the decrease
in the private deposits, private securities, and bul-
lion. The diminution in the reserve and public de-
posits is usual at this period of the quarter. Thu re-
turn generally affords evidence of an increased
demand for money, notwithstanding the falling off
in the private securities, which will excite some
attention.

MONTENEGRO.

The Journal els Constantinople states that the
Turkish Governor of Scutari, Osman Pasha, had
chased the Montenegrins from Piperi and Zabljak,
and driven them imperiously to within their own
frontier. This is merely another version of the news
previously published in these columns. Twenty-five
thousand imperial troops were to be assembled, and
it was believed at Constantinople that the moun-
taineers would be reduced to subjection in a month
or six weeks. George Petrowitch Negoesk, cousin
of Prince Daniel, arrived at Vienna on the 17th.

THE AMERICAN MINISTER AT BIR-

MINGRAM.

Last night, the American Minister was entertained
at a pnblie dinner at Birmingham. About 160 persona
were present, including Lord Ca'thorn', Mr. Spooner,ld.P.,
Mr. Bch°lefleld, M.P., and Mr. Booker, M.P. Mr. Munn,
M.P., presided.
The health of his Excellency was proposed by the chair-
man, and minuet enthusiastically received.
In the coarse of a most eloquent speech, Mr.
Ingersoll generally viewed the position and prospects
of both countries, as well as their Identity of in-
terest, and he expressed a hope that the cordial
relationship now subsisting, might long be perpetuated.
A generous rivalry and a generous emulation would (in
his opinion) conduce to the permanent prosperity of both
countries. Of all the kindness that he had experienced in
England, none had inspired him with such depth of feeling
as this reception of bin by Birmingham men—a town so
largely interested in American trade and so largely bite-
rested in the prosperity of the country he represented.
All the speakers cordially concurred in the expression of
• hope, which Mr. Ingersoll stated met with his approba-
tion, that England and America should unite to check the
encroachments of despotism and go on to protect the liber-
ties of peoples.
The company uparated at midnight.

SWINDLING AT PARia.—The Tribunal of Correc-
tional Polies of Versailles tried two days ago a man, named
Escaille, representing himself to have been running foot
man to Charles X. and Don Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, for
swindling. In July, 1851, he waited on the Mayor of St.
Cloud, and obtained his permission to give a fete in the
Park, in which men were to run against horses ; and he
then went to restaurant, coffee-house and public-house
keepers, and obtained from them different sums to cover
bis expenses; representing to them that his fete would
attract a great number of strangers. To excite their con-
fidence he exhibited • bill, in which he declared that, in
1827 end 1828 he had run three times round the Champ-
de-Mars in 15 minutes, and went from Paris to Versalli a
and back in 75 minutes. But after obtaining their contri-
butions he disappeared, and no fete was of course given.
Nothing was seen of him till the Ist of this mouth, whea
he was discovered and arrested in a lodging-house in the
Rue de l'ilotel-de-Ville, at Paris. The Tribunal con-
demned him to three months' imprisonment, and twenty
five francs fine.

EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.

The government emigrant ship Caucasian, bound
for Australia, was towed out of Southampton docks yester-
day ; she has about 220 emigrants on boar& This is the
first ship that his started from Southampton sines the latter
I has been made a government emigration port. The emi-
grants have been residing in a building in the dock fitted
up ae a temporary emigration depot. Bach emigrant has
received a packets of tracts from the Religious Tract So-
ciety, and also a Bible and Testament from the Christian
Knowledge Society. The clergyman of the dock district
and dissenting ministers of the town have attended to the
spiritual wants of the ensigrAnte during the stay of the
latter in Southampton, and divine service has been per-
formed daily at the depot or on board the Caucasian.
Many of the emigrants are of the agricultural clue,
or ihey have been mechanics and artisans in rural
districts. Greet numbers of them have been comfortably of,
but having large families are anxious that their children
shall strive where the straggle for comfort and independence
is not so severe as it is in this country. I was particularly
struck with two families who were going out. They were
singing hymns as I passed by their apartments la the emi-
patios building. The head of one of the families was a
Hampshire carpenter. Ile had wanted for nothing, but he
had • large family. The head of the other family I did not
see, but the wife was an elderly and respectable matron.
She stated that she had been settled in Oxford for 40 eau,
and never dreamt that she should leave old Bagland ; but
she was going out for the sake of her childless. There
were some remarkably fine young men and wawa among
the emigrants, and the children, who were very serous,
appeared healthy and intelligent. The mail/ram were evi-
dently of the temperate, serious, and striu-l•-do.well
dam They were cheerful, but very susceptible of religion
impressions, 'Act's, no doubt, from the important step
they were about to undertake, the separation from relatives
and friends, and the long voyage they would have to un-
dergo. They did not appear, however, to entertain any of
those vague apprehensions of the voyage which existed
some years ago, owing, doubtlese, to the rapid and
sueeseshil voyages to Australia that are now made,
and the hundreds of ships that are continually
traversing the Australian route. There is every
reason to believe that there will be a remarkable
exodus this year, and that the south-western counties will
be perfectly drained of their superabundant population.
Go where yea will you hear elderly persons regretting that
the gold discoveries were not made years ago, that they
might have emigrated; and you hear of young men pre-
paring to start. Many well-to-do tradesmen would emi-
grate, but there is a great difficulty in disposing of a busi-
ness. It Is stated that in one of the public departments in
Southampton, a large portion of the officials will throw up
their situations during the present year, and emigrate to
Australia.

PERSIA.

Letters from Bagdad announce the arrival in that
town of the brother of the Shah of Persia, who
though aged only 14, is said to have been compro-
mised in the recent plot against the Shah. The same
letters make known that the Persian government
has placed a tax of 12 per cent. on all Persian goods
destined for Bagdad. Letters from Teheran state
that Hassan-Ali-Khan, adjutant-bachi, was about to
be sent to Constantinople as Minister-Plenipotentiary
of the Shah.

THE MEDJ

PoaTamorrn, JAN. 21.—The Medina, 4, steam-
packet, Lieutenant Commander Reynolds, arrived from the
Mediterranean at noon to-day. Her dates are Malta,
Jan. 4 • Gibraltar, Jan. 12; and Lisbon, Jan. 16. The
mail steamer Beutinck, with the heavy portion of the
homeward bound Indian mail, bad not arrived at Lisbon,
being over-due three days. The agents there of the Penin-
sular and Oriental Steam Packet Company requested the
Medina to report this circumstance. It could not be con-
jectured what was the canes of this delay. The weather, as
it wu experienced by the Medina, could not account
for it.

At Lisbon great excitement prevailed in reference to the
reduction of the interest on the national debt, the Queen
and the government being openly aced loudly accused of
their breach of public faith. It was anticipated that this
excitement would rather increase than decline. The pre-
mium on English gold was 2+ per tent.
The mail packet Banshee was the only vessel at Malta.
Vice-Admiral Dundee was at Gibraltar, being indisposed
from tin doloareux. The following ships were with him.—
Britannia, 120, flag; Trafalgar, 120; Albion, 90; Belle-
rophon, 78; Arethusa, 60; Retribution, 28, steam frigate
Niger, 14, screw sloop ; Sampson, 6, steam sloop; and
Antelope, 3, steam vessel. He was a•vaiting the arrival of
the mail from England, on receipt of which he was to sail ,
with the fleet for Malta. The fleet was healthy.
I At Lisbon there were--the Sansparell, 81, Mew steam
ship ; and Inflexible, ft, steam sloop.
The Medina touched at Algiers for coal, but what she
got was so very bad that she had to take in more at the
Tagus. At Algeira there was a Fresh steam squadron, of
which the Monteauma frigate sailed fur Marseilles on the
same day es the Medina left. The following oaken have
come home in the Medina :—Commander Howat, late of the
Albion; Lieut. Sault', from the Bellerophon; Lieut.
Grant, on his promotion, from the Britannia; and Mr. Gil-
land, of the Vengeance, to rejoin her, having been left at
Gibraltar Hospital invalided. She has 24 invalid seamen
and marines, and a small mail from Lisbon. The Medina
was commissioned in January 1851, and has been iiej
as for-
tunate regards health, having entirely cep
cholera when it was prevalent in every other ship of the
fleet. She has come into harbour to coal, after which she
will sail for Woolwich to be paid off.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH BY DROWNING.

The body of a female has been found at Ruaholme,
near Manchester, under extraordinary and mysterious cir-
cumstances, partly immersed in a pond of water. The de-
ceased was a resretable woman, named Sarah Grindrod,
aged 64, who had resided some years an Oxford-road, which
leads out of Manches:er in the direction of Rushohne, and
was missed from her home en the night of Saturday, the
Bth instant. She left home to go shopping, and was traced
to a butcher's shop, afterwa.da to a fishmonger's, and then
to a spirit vault, where she had gone to purchase
a pint of gin, but did not return home ; and
• few days afterwards placards were issued by Mr.
Beawick, chief superintendent of detective police at Man-
chester, describing her appearance. She was not found
until Wednesday morning, when some boys going to school
in Itusholme observed her body by the aide of a pool of
water, or "pit," as it is there called, upon a hawthorn
bush, about 20 yards from Mellor's lane. How long sue
had been there, or bow she came there, are questions in-
volved in mystery, as it can hardly bo supposed she bad
been oolong near a public road as from the Bth to the 19th
instant without being discovered ; yet no trace ha. been
discovered of her after the night of the Bth, when she left
home. The pool where she was found is nearly two miles
from her residence. An inquest was held on the body at
the Birch Villa Hotel, Rusholme, on Thariday evening.
before Mr. W. S. Rutter, county coroner, when there being
no conclusive evidence, the jury determined to find a ver-
dict which should not be prejudicial to any further inquiry,
and ssoordingly returned one of "Found drowned."

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22, 1.53.

The etimplainent, Doniol, had answered an advertisement
for a traveller, and bad deposited 601. The insolvent be-
came security for the money for a person named Goldsmith.
He aeon found or that there was no business for him to
do. With great difficulty he trot hic eatery, and had only
obtained St. off his deposit of Doniol described the
manner in which he had lost his money.
Counsel addressed the court at some length.
Mr. Commissioner Law gave his opinion on the tide.
He considered that the debt with MOMS. White had been
incurred byan unnecemary defence to the action brought
on the guarantee he bad given, whereby their loss bad bees
considerably increased. lle was also of opinion that the
insolvent had no right to become liable for the advance
made by Doniol to a friend in order to procure a situation.
His Honour pronounced a judgment of eight months at
the suit of Doniol fur contracting a debt without reasonable
or probable expectation of payment, and of ten calendar
mouths at the suit of Messrs. White. for contracting a debt
by • frivolous and vexatious defence.
The judgments are concurrent from the vesting order.

amountel on theist December last to 354,628,487 reels
(88,667,122 f.), had fallen on the Ist instant to
348,196,180 reels. During the month of December
the Treasury Bonds were negotiated at from 8 to 9
per cent. per annum for the public, and at 6 per cent.
for the bank,
The Clamor Public° of the 14th, and the Esperanza,
the Norio's, and the Diario Espanol of the 16th, had

The Diario Espanol says :—" There is a talk in
the financial world of different propositions made to
the government by foreign houses, before M. Aristi-1
sabel left the ministry of finance, to purchase the
bonds of the purchasers of the national property,
which amount to 100 millions of reals, at the rate of
87 per cent., bearing an annual interest of 6 per
cent., and 2 commiss►on."
