Since we last noticed the state of the harvest is this comity,
the weat►er has been, with little exception, in favour of the
farmer. Those feelings of despondency to which appear-
maces were at that time so railroaded to give rise, have beets
almost wholly removed. Although the raise ►ave dune coo-
sidrrable injury to the crops is general, yet the rudece is
every where abundant, and we believe when compared wit►
those of other seasons of late, fully equivalent to any Iwo the
present has sustained. The favourable slate of the weather has
already had a very striking of urns the prices its our Cora
Market. Ote Saturday prime Wheat, which the previous
week sold from 211 s. to 30s. pee barrel, was reduced to 225. 9J.

some of it brought only 18s. Other deseriptioss of grain
were moppet' bly reduced.-(Warforal Nevoid.)

Sir Hilliard Biotic thought that Mr. Shirley ought to con.
salt with leis legal adviser as to the propriety of the examina-

poned to Friday week.
Twu Gentlemeu then came forward, and said, that they
had out charges against the Prisoner. but they had to thank
their own pre-caution fur et, as they did not part with their

In answer to a question from Sir R. Birnie, he said be was
driving his gig ow the proper aide of the road, within about a
foot of the pathway, and of course the coach most have been
om the wrong side, as it was coming • different way.
Spice slated, that lie saw the coachovertura the gig;
he ran after it, obtained the number, 888, amid wrote it down
