A DARING FEAT.—Three young cockneys, entire
amateurs in nautical matters, determined to set out from
Vauxhall to Margate, on Monday morning last, in a small
open sailing boat. Undaunted by the torrents of rain which
fell for several hours after starting, they proceeded on their
way, and reached Sheerness at 7 in the evening. Setting
out at 6 o'clock on the morning of Tuesday, they reached
Margate at the manse hour in the evening, to the surprise of
the many persons who witnessed the arrival of their frail
bark, after a voyage of more than 70 miles, occupying about
four-and-twenty hours.—Maidstone Journal.
THE WEATHER AND THE CEOP9.—The past week
as respects weather was little more than a dull repetition
of many that preceded it ; rain still being in the ascendant,
and not without its sad influence. The temperature has
certainly been increased, and the grass has grown in con-
sequence, while a few hay-farmers have been bold enough
to commence cutting, but with what benefit remains to be
seen. Subscriptions have been made for the labourers out
of employ, whose condition is truly deplomble ; but alltez
, have realised hitherto has been a scanty allowance of bi
It is, perhaps, well for the corn that it is late, or it would
have been excessively rank. Some little progress appears in
the wheat, but the young barley seems overpowered with
wet being yellow and almost past hope as respects a crop.
Although several pieces of wheat on well-drained light soils
still look fair, no one yet remembers a good crop of corn in
add after a wet season, more especially following upon
j.:
trying and protracted winter. But let us hope
that a change is at hand, and that our worst apprehensions
will not be realised. Since' writing the above, with the
weather altered., much grass has been cut with fairer
prospects. The absence of speculation during the week is,
nevertheless, exhibited in the dulness of the markets.
English wheat has been still declining ; but, with some
Laces firm, perhaps the average reduction has not exceeded
. per quarter. This has been produced chiefly by the
bctter supplies of foreign of good quality. In the Baltic.
though the season has bees backward, the weather has not
been so bad ; and only rye has decidedly suffered. In
France there is some improvement ; and, consequently,
lower rates. Belgium and Holland have been tending also
towards decline. Southern Europe, including Turkey, pro-
mises well. And hitherto the want in America has been
'the reverse of that throughout Europe, the hilly parts of
the country being too dry ; though nothing seriously detri-
mental is noted in anyrlaborli. For many seasons England has
been best off as ts Produce ; but this year she will pro-
bably require • e imports.—Mark Lane Express.
[Advertisement. )—HoLtowsv's OINTMENT AND
Pmts.—Pimples, Boils, Carbuncles. Abscesses.—These maladies
arise from some obstruction to the free circulation of the blood
through the blood-vessels or capillaries; and the only rational
mode of cure consists In removing the local Impediment, at the
same time that any Impurity engendered by the stoppage should
be filtered from the blood. Holloway's Ointment applied to the
part effects the fink his Pills accomplish the latter object. The
Inflamed skin derives softness, COOlneil, and ease from the op.
plication of this unguent, which gradually penetrates to the
affected thrum and soon restores the circulation and its
channels to a healthy condition, and saves the sufferer front
most serious diseases, which too frequently follow from earele.-
peas, or injudicious medical treatment.
