IMPROVID OIDICR OF OLD FRILN DS BENZFTT
tioctirt.—Yesterday • meeting, attended by nearly three
thousand prisons, was held at the Roebuck Inn, Buckhurst-
bill, near Woodford. An excellent dinner was provided ;
the band of the 2nd Life Guards enlivened the festi.
vities ; and the thoroughly English good feeling displayed
I throughout proved how well every member appreciated
the efforts of the committee to coutribute to their
comfort. The Loyal Kin's Lodge viol the Loyal York
Lodge had joined their fortes oa the oceseion, aod the re-
sult was most successful. The order ha. dispensed upwards
of 17,0(101. in benefits, is without a single pound on its
claimant fund, and has progressed to the extent of 2,0001.
• year. During the year, in one of these lodges, the in-
crease of members has been Bil, and the surplus receipt.
545/. upon the paid year. Many excellent speeches were
I made and appropriate toe= proposed, the entertainment
passing off most agreeably.
THE GREAT EARTZEN.—The Great Eastern is
expected to arrive at Milford Haven from New York on
the 25th inst. Messrs. Ford and Jackson have been ap-
pointed agents for the ship.
HARVEST Paosreers.—The past week has shown
little improvement in the weather, the nights all being cold,
the days cloudy, and very heavy falls of rain being expe-
rienced on Wednesday and Friday night. But for this,
some Talavera wheat, which is now ripe, would have been
cut. A good deal of barley has also nearly reached maturity;
but the bulk of the growing wheat ripens very slowly, and
creates more fear as to the ultimate yield. Very many of
the best pieces, in the fens and light )and, have been sadly
knocked about. Much of the bay got up this week has
been seriously damaged, and a good deal is still out,
with very poor chance of its being well carried. Potatoes,
as might have been expected from the =favourable
essees, threaten to be es bad • crop as ever was
known. Many places that were looking fair last
week have been seriously attacked by disease, both in
this country and Ireland. All the surplus wheat of foreign
eountnes would so seem likely to be required to make up
the ere,l of this season, though the liberal shipments now
on their way from America and Europe may, on arrival,
produce dull market.. In the country, supplies io many
districts have been very short, and the average rates very
little altered, the reduction noted in some localities being
about made up in others. The same U 1206111.111 weather,
with rain, having been experienced in northern Europe at •
time when harvest wee commencing, has sweet= some
uneasiness, and produced an increased firmness inaltrztees
of wheat. Ode= has also been iufluenced
advice@ from the west, notwithstanding the favourable
character of the barred in Southern Basel But
America, more especially the Western States, being un-
usually well off this =ann. prim there hare somewhat
gives way..—Mark-lase Ezpraa.
Tan PAPAL Amin'. —A letter from Turin in the
Sink states that several deserters from the Papal army,
who had mines enlisted in the national army, had signed the
following declaration :—" We, the undermined, soldiers in
the bet feseign battalion in the service of the Holy See,
declare that more than once our chiefs advised as not to
desert, promising us that, on the first outbreak of the
slightest character that should take plies at Perm* the
town phould be given up to us for pillage. Ang. 6, MO.—
