DEATH On Mn. MUSTERS.—Thin gentleman Mt-
pined cm Saturday last at his seat, Allllollloy Park, in the
meaty of Nottingham, aged 72. He wee the fortunate
rival of Lord Byron, and monied Miss Chaworth (the noble
met's " Mary ") in 1806, when; his lordship was a minor.
He is succeeded in his immense pommies@ by his grandson
Jahn, a boy thirteen years of age.
stalirroClintln AltiftllMlXTl3.—An extraordinary
seem took place at the Polica.cdoe, Nottingham, on Settle-
day mowing last. Oa the day preceding ,11 match at cricket
had been played between the (Akers at the garrison and the
gentlemen of Leicestershire. After the gems was con-
cluded, the while of the party left the cricket-ground
to dice at the barrack.. Afterwards a number of the
gentlemen sallied out to create a disturbance. AIM
arousing the inseam of a house of unenviable notoriety,
and having been refused admittance, one of her Majesty's
servants, Lieut. the Hun. C. De Lintloo, suggested the pro.
pristy of entering the house by main forte. The attempt se
to do caused en immense disturbance and the whole neigh-
bourhood wee in a state of alum. The police were soon on
the spot, and succeeded in capturing two of the
_party, the
Hose. C. de Damon and another, in spite of the loud
protestotions of these gentlemen that the police
should be reported to their masters. Lieut. de imam and
his comrades were manned off to the House of Correction.
A abort time after they had arrived there, however, four of
Wit coespenhiss, thinking, no doubt, that it wee hardly fair
to leave their friends in such a dilemma, made their &mer-
men at the door of the piton, and offered bail for the of-
fenders. The police, imagining this too fine an oppor-
tunity to let slip, captured the whole party, con-
sisting of the Right Honourable Sir Willoughby
Dixie, a magistrate of Leiointenhire, the Hon. W. and R.
Carson, and Slade, Esq. There was now every prospect
of speeding the remainder of the night in the genteel
apartments of the Nottingham House of Correction;
it was, however, hinted by one Of the prison. re that they
should strive to get bail, which was accordingly predated,
and the honourable, and right honourable set at liberty
Oa Saturday morning they made their appearance at
the Police-office, and after acknowledging their offers,.
were fined IL each and discharged, not, however, before
one of them had knocked the pencil out of the hand of • re-
porter to prevent him taking a report of the proceedings
BODMIts, Barr. 3.—T00 harvest in this part is pro-
gressing favourably, Although the weather his been occa-
sionally hindering, the crops have offered no injuiry. The
wheat is now all out, and the bulk well secured. This crop
is a most abundant one—certainly over an average, good in
quality, and large in quawity. T7te greatest part of the bar-
ley he. been cut, and a large portion well bound together.
and made perfectly sate. Two or three days more of line
weather will wears the bulk of this crop. I learn that the
oat crop is partially affected with the rust, but I believe not
to a very greet extent. The turnip crop is looking well.
We an still visited with the disease in the potatoes, bat by
no MOWN to the extent of the lest two or three years. I
think about one-third may be affected, but the remaining
two-thirds I believe to be of very good quality and flavour.

good demand had also been experienced throughout
the week for sugar, and considerable sales bad been
effected at full market rates. Tea had attracted the
attention of buyers, and for Congou one schillieg ad-
vance was asked. The activity in bides continues so-
abated, and the sales during the week ..ant to
