The harvest promiees to be earlier in the midland 'notifies

and the south of Yorkshire, several Gelds of rye are already

The wheats, it is expected, will be a full average crop, sot-
withstanding some partial blights, sod the barleys are very
ehisiulaust. The peas have failed in numerous instances.—

The Highland Society of London havitig sour

per attention in competitors to appear concerto
dressed in she aucient garb of their country ; slid
to encourage, ism a similar manner, oral recitatiou
cod sung, w the Gaelic language. a slumber of
handsome athletic young Highlanders, piers
and dancers, appeared dressed in a very correct
manner, most of them iu the tartans of their ri.•
spective clans.
On the return of the Judges from the xdjuitsiog
apartment, to which they had retired for the poi-
pose of deciding the prices, Sir JOHN SINCI.AII
addressed the respectable company assembled on
the occasion, in an elegant, energetic, and appro.
priate speech, which was frequently accoitipailiel
by the loudest shouts of applause. Among other
thing., he observed, " that four years had noir
elapsed slime 1 last had tht howonr or presiding et

to find, that neither the zeal for keeping up this
national exhibitiou, nor the skill and abilities of

with the other Members of the Committee, and as
representing the respectable institutious concerned.
I rejoice in such a circuinstauce. having itlwey• felt
an anxious wish that the competition of Ilighlasid
pipers should be kept up with eclai. It is a most
effectual means of preserving that inertial spirit fur
which the natives of Scotland have long bees so
pre-eminently distinguished. It was that martial
spirit that enabled us to maintain. fur so noisy arr.

other country in Europe; through whom the illus-
trious House of Brunswick now inherit the linpe-
riot Throne of Great Britain. and the goveinnieut

The patriotic Baronet here referred to the heritc
achievements of Scotch and Highland tegiineuts,
oil many occasions, and to fruits of perkily- uopa-
ralleled provers and intrepidity of individuals of
Mese corns, at well as to she urbanity or the offi-
cers amid men in private life. " These things (Sir
Junn remarked) I have had an opportunity of as-
certaining on less partial testimony than shit of
their own minium. countrymen. in the course of
recent visita to the Contineut. It was a comicial'
saying at Brussels—' The Highlanders, though
lambs in their quarters. ore lions in the field'.
He added—" (u uo place is the chivacter of the
Scotch done more justice to than in Preis. Th,
Highland tartan not usifrequeioly makes a part of
