THE H memo, ir H ffwiPmahn.—The harvest
has pretty gemerally essensoced is this neighbourhood
during the week, sad the crops sever looked liner. There
is peeinW of a seed abundant yield and plenty of strew ;
arewithehumling the heavy thunder-irtonns sad hemmed
showers; very little corn seems to be laid. We regret
to observe that the potato disease Is making great
bit as She disease is rather later in its this

Ti. Hasviorr IN WILTS —Reaping has ems-
mead for sow days peat in the neighbourhood ci
bury, and it only requires a few comparative dry sunshiny
days to make larvae* operations pretty general. As •
whole, the crops are reported to be promising, altheegh the
winds and rains have produced the same effect in this part
of the country uit may *them A fine dry meson sow
would, however, produce a great and rapid improvement,
and remove all sazisty as to the productiveness of the
wheat mops in this locality.
lEISH Namowat. SCHOOLS. —From a parliamen-
tary return Mated this morning, it appeara that the number
el pupils on the rolls of the above wheals for the last
quarter of 1860, and whom religious denominations had
hese umertained, was 548,128, of whom 30,863 belonged to
the established church, 465,582 were Roman catholic",
19,0116 Presbyterians, leaving 2,607 others. The total

WALL PAINTINGS IN THE PALACE Or WENTIIIN-
sm. —The following is the report by the select oorn-
mittrie appointed to inquire into the progress made in the
wall paintings of the peers' robing-root ; sod to report
when the room will be reedy for occupation, or in what
manner, if the piloting" are not likely to be completed
shortly, the room may he rendered available for the use of
the house during the sitting of parliament, and to report
to the house :—" The committee proceeded to inspect the
robing-room with Mr. Herbert; they found a large portion
of it occupied by a platform, which. unless reduced in sire.
or made pertly movable on biases or otherwise, would
render the use of the room for committees impossible.
They were informed by Mr. Herbert that the painting on
which he is sewed will not be completed before this time
Dent year ; but, as the work appeared to be 000siderabl7
advanced, they trust that it may be finished sooner. As it
is aely the first of the eight szreed for, the occupation of
the apartment by the house must be indefinitely postponed
unless the eseeutioe of the others is given up, or some ar-
rangement me be made for its use during the perms of
the work. The committee represented to Mr. Hoban that
the room would only be required for at moat fear days in
the weak, from about the middle of February to the sad of
July, sad never before 12 o'clock or after 6 o'clook sad that
his wishes and convenience would he israhris • hr as

min it. He was, ho4eirer, wrath( to epee to soy ow of
it by the hones during the program el Hs work. Under
tine nrcensetesem, the committee are unwilling to re-
eamemad to the hems say coursed proceedMuby which
the wet the emertmeet might be obtained. They trust
that dories the recces the giassleas will be eeref ally we-
aired by Mr. Herbert sad by the Mee Arta Ca-mimics :
mad that is. arreagement map be seems to by which the
Inds mitending these commillees which the mbing.room
was dui/ea to eceememeide any Is relieved from the
crimesemealseee to which they have now been so
obloskid."
