OPIRATIONS OF 80/MUM 11l LIVER root.—The
Liverpool police have succeeded in apprehending the pie-
rivals in a gang of burglars who have of late infested the
outskirts of the town, and whole plan b►e been to enter the
house& either by unbritening the parlour windows or by
cutting out the locks from the doors with sharp instruments
adapted to the purpose. In one of the latter operations •
burglar cut his hand, and this comparatively slight rims-
stance afforded • eine to the detection of himself and com-
rades. Three of the gang were yesterday brought before the
magistrate', bat were remanded, in order that some farther
oases may be brought against than.
A Keen BOT GALLANT LEAP.—While the 5.30
pm. parliamentary train from Glasgow wee epproaching
Cersterphine, on Wednesday night, • young boy about eta
year, of age, the son of one of the female pa...engem in •
third•ehas carriage, fall out upon the embankment, owing to ,1
the dam of the romper ment not having horn properly
fattened. The poor molter of the child bed basely time to
atter on exclamation of terror when another female passenger,
who chanced to be sitting nearer the door, sprang from the
side of her own children and threw herself oat of the carriage
after the boy. Beyond a few cuts on the brow, and some
rather severe contusions on the back part of the bead, the
child had sustained little or no injury. The case of the poor
woman was much more serious. In her desperate imp she
fell heavily on her right arm and 'battered the elbow joint.
The directors of the Midland Greet Western Rail-
way of Ireland have, It is said, subscribed 5.0001. to enable
Kr. Lever to charter the Great Eastern for her first voyage,
which in that cue would hays Galsisy as its starting

TOE BAR FIST.

The onward progress of the harvest, slow though it
has been, on amount of the Paucity of hands in many dm-
tricta, io beginning to foreshadow its probable Wilma,* upon
the markets of the coming moron. At prmmt, however,
enough has not been developed of the maim of the crop
to enable the merchant and the miller to form a sound judg-
ment of the result. At the same time, the account, from
various districts give anything but • favourable view of the
yield of the wheat crop. In some districts there is an un-
doubtedly full even" but to others a premature ripsaw
has *jurist the quality and ieduced the quantity of the
grain. This effect hes been aggravated by the heat/
storms which In various parts of the country add greatall the crops, and injured
both quality aSilda7llS. upon
is estimated by many goodjudges
that the weight of the wheat this sewn will average at
least from 3 to ilbs. per bushel lees than lest year, which
will mate &difference in flour of from 361bs. to 46the. per qr.
This will amount, in round numbers, to at least two millions
sacks of flour, taking the average produce at sixteen million
Tuners, wh:ch, even if we get an average, will materially
reduce the supply, and give the miller more work and less
refit. On the other heed, it is universally acknowledged
that the farmers throughout the country hold the largeet
Nock of old wheat they have had at this season for ten
yeses; so that this will fully compensate for whatever
ey may be found in the weight of flour per qr.
We have also a large stock of foreign wheat on hand.
both foe London and at the outports, that
still further help to make up any requirements.
Ia France the case is different. The crop in the south have
been housed, and are reported to exhibit a large deficiency
In the acreage yield. It Is estimated that upon the entire
mop of wheelie% that country therewill be one-fourth WI than
avenge ; so that it is not considered there will be much
to spare for exportation. It Is probable that the French
millers will still ship tour to Ragland, when they ten do
it at a profit, even with a chance of having_ to fetch it beck
wain at an advanced mice afterwards. There Is also in
France, as here, a large stock of old wheat in the hands of
the farmers of Normandy and Brittany, whilst supplies
from the Black Bea mit be readily obtained, when the price
and the sliding-scale will allow. At the commencement of
the harveet there was *considerable advance in price in most
of the French markets; but a reaction has since taken place
although the trade still continues linn, and it is not likely
that prices will recede. -Mark-lane
