sitting Mergkerate, charged lo Mary Cavanagh with stabbing
her in the arm with a case knife.
The Complainant stated, that she went that morning. at

and there • geared arose between Mary Kirk and a auldh r

Kok bring ill-used, when • WO is • leather...prim, who
called himself a eonstable, laid hold of her, and the Prisoner,
who had before interfered on the part of the soldier, stahbed
her in the arm wills the broken blade of • ease knife. I.Bhr
here attempted to exhibit her arm, which appeared coy. red
with blood.]
The Magistrate was desirous of hermitic hew the knife
kart been broken, bet of that she could give no account.
The Prisoner, who appeared like a decent mechanic, said
the account she bad given was entirely Take, bet left it to the
people of the house, who were witnesses, to state the true
ei root-piaster.
The baukeener of the pubik.houst wan called. He stated
flat otter, the two women came into the room bcfore the

and called him " Bishop," far. The Prisoner at tbr bar, who
was l.kcwise sitting there, get up and said it was very im-
proper ; the other woman kicked at him, and was about to
strike him with • quart pot, when the Complainant anslcht.l
up the knife with which the soldier bad bees setting, aud
which was a little hint, and ran at him pushing it against
his ribs, when the knife broke, as it now appeared. AoStlier
men laid hold of Mary Kirk, and prevented her using the
lqoart pot. N 6 watchman being at band, • pomp nwn who
was about the house assisted to turn them out. The witness
eenhl not tell bow the cut came on her arm, but he posi-
tively denied its being dune by the Poisoner at the bar.
The soldier was called, who corroborated every little of
Ihr evid. nee given by the last witness.
It appeared upon examination of the woman by 'larvae,
that it was not at all dangerous.
'fire Magistrate dismissed the complaint with a severe re.
prism red to the woman for the evident diategard of truth
whielk she had displayed.
A warrant was tubseqeently issued against the woman
at the instance of the parties of whom Mary Cat magi' had
complained.

riener to Sir Jobs Lilley, at (Wham, with hall*, stu!en a

and h. Fan to pull about the leaves ; be jumped up, and
restoring a pistol, called out to them to •nrreuder. They
paid no regent to his summons, but attempted to escape, on
which he ..napped the pistol, which flashed in the pan. The

having known him before. The Prisour r had spokes to him
• sheet time previous to the robbery, and asked him how the
preprocessor on, arid the witoess had so pert. eta view of big
flee in the garden that he was sure it was thermoset toms.
The Prisoner attempted to establish an esNbi, but failed.
The Magistrate convicted him under the late Vagrant Act,

confinement in the House of Correction, and to be kept to

Darid Barnes and James Barnet, charged on anspleion
or a burglary in the house of Mr. Alexander Reed, of Flask.
Lane, Polak°, were brought up by Lark, the °Seer. It
ii ppearril the robbery was committed on the night of the
14th August last. The thieves had got in rat the back of the

the Prisoners, and sworn to by Mr. Reed. Both the Pri-
soner, were fully committed fur trial.
G. L. Greek was charged by Elizabeth Larasdee with hair.
tog obtained a quantity of wearing apparel, and 21. 12s. in
money, under false prricuees.
Il appeared that the .Prisoner was nephew to the Com-
yfaioaue, upon whom he bail called a few days ago, mud per-
suaded bee to lend him the money and bogie of her basband's
clothes, on the me°k security of two or three hills of ex-

of hones-street, Bedford-row, with allow the Priscoser stated
Iv? tired, at • salary of 30s. week. The Prisoner, it seemed,
trusted to have evaded any punishment, by stating that the
bills were only copies, the originals hemp in the hands of
Messrs. Coatis and Co., sod the old oronsu, with a stretch
of credulity almost beyond cooceptioa, let him have the
chitties and money which he wanted.
It will be recollected by our readers, that the Prisoner,
some tittle sincr,ggurert as a principal 'keens *taunt • man
armed Hartley, who was iciest mud convicted at Maidstone,
for • burglary, and was also suspected to be concerned in the
murder of Mrs. Dona'''.
Mr. Taylor now attended, and stated to the klngistratet,
that the Prisoner war rout iii his set eret ; hut he bad called
on him • short time since and stated he was just going down
to Maidstone (sekHartley was to be transported), to get in-
formation from him shout the murder. Mr. Taylor gave
him • crown, but the Prisoner had not been to Maidstone
at all slice.

The Prisoner, who •ppeared inclined to moot points of
law with the Magistrate, entiteadcd that it was no false pre.
fence on which he had gut the things. He had promised to
pay "Ads the bills were due, and they were out )et at ma-
tardy.
The Magistrate ordered him to be remanded.
Nary Ada*, a pretty, demi-looking young woman, ap-
parently not more that 17 years of age, was charged by en
aged female, named Abet.. Fisher, with rubbing her. The
old lady stated, that in the mouth of June, last year, she
was reluraing home to Chelsea, where she then lived, •heu
she passed the Prisouer, who was satin at a door fur shelor
from the rain. She followed bcr, and asked I. ave to lake the
bevel' of the sowheella which else carried. She said, as she
went along, that she was a servant out of place. She went

AUGUST.

During' the greater part of this month farmers were very
hoidy tniph•yed in reaping and riving the h t, which,
with very trivial exceptions, may he considered accomplish-
ed. Ia general, the harvest seems to be past dancer, and
the mnwirc lad saving of hay is completed. Although, in
the concladirg part of last month, and at the commence-
meta of this, many feared a continuance of rata, smiler to
that of the preceding harvest all such ideas have now
vanished, and, met of the lod;ged fields having risen with
the high winds, it is found that no serious injury has Ikea
sustained.

Nutwithatsnfling some of the WHEAT is very inferior, and
rnor2 but niiil,lline, still so much is of very peime quality,
that we may Compute the entire a good average crop.

!nand.'

BARLVE is considered very limited in supply; however,
h I fermi rs not be deceived, as they certainly will be, if, by
k.,eping it from the markets, they expect a higher price for
thts tootrnodity, owing to its scarcity. A very abort supply,
in addiiiuu to the brewers' old stock on hands, will be found
nivre than sufficient for beverage; nod, even admitting that
there one no Barley in question, brewers could dispense with,
it, and enmity proeure a substitute fur it, namely, Wheat, or
grain, which would prove as cheap, or cheaper, and
a nutd produce as good essence as Barley. Eves from the
pods of Pres, sad otorsistainy Sage, without say grain,
might, if there were occasion, be formed good sad excellent
beverage. Nny, it appears' that the Dines, when they in.

heath products is still ■osietimes used to feed and aourish
young calves.
Bang, PEAL. RAPE, and RTE, are tolerably good crops.
FLAX, in sonic places, is very thin and short ; however, it
may be contidered a good ge crop.
CLarin sod A►renaßAss are is a flourishing costilition.
Pasture grounds are still producing a large *apply of
Grass.

Paragon are more improved by the late rains than any
other description. From hint, and from the appearance of
the stalks, the produce will most probably be abundant, be.
ynttd any precedent which our island affords. if the entire
of the groin crops were exterminated, it seems likely that
the Potatoes alone would be fully adequate to the sopped
of the inhabitants of Ireland, during the next twelve mcieths.
That, as we have same recent accounts from England, Mat-
ing that the prosiest year's produce will be 'ethereal for two
year's supply, ass may now say that Ireland w equally, per.
hips more, ',reductive; for we could spare two parts oat of
three. TIN rrfore we have reason to conclude drat there is
every prospect of haviug the necessaries of life, during die
coming year, as moderate here as the oldest inhebitant can
"dolled; nay, cheapness may go below that limit. The
rain thee, in general, appears to have dune more service
than hart. The natural dryness and rockiness of am Irish
soil, as has been remsiked by Mr. Young, require a greater
•proportioa of moisture slum the deeper, heavier, and more
humid clays of England. " The circemstasee' " says be,
‘• which strikes me a• the greatest singularity of Irekted, is
the rockiness of the soul. Stone is so general, that I have
reason to lieve the whole island is one vast rock of dif-
ferent strata and heeds, rising out of the sea." Another
late author slaw, that the injuries which rain occasions
to the culture of corn, are more i filtrable than is
generally imagined. Little, he think*, is lost by what is
called lodgiug from rain ; and, as to saving, a few dry days
arc all that is requisite, except perhaps in such seasons as the
hot, when rain prevaeed so generally all over Ireland with-
out intermission fur fuer or live days In a most critical time,
just when the Wheat crop was ripe, some of it reaped, mots
in "braves and iu stooks, and most of it exposed in different
ways to the itieleMeney of the coestsot rain, which cirrum.
atauce was the chief cause of the injury complained of last
harvest ; bat this arasou one day was rainy sod the next day
dry, which seldom or never proves hurtful to the grain. Our
author infers, that the Irish have sufficient reason to sbew
that fears respecting their culture acorn are in a great mea-
sure groundless. He adds, that the I proportion of
which falls In Ireland during the earlier months, will be
found sot silly useful, but in some measure necessary to its
sgricalt•re. Although the heavy rains of July lodged the
rank Wheat, and some of it was broken down, yet in come.
queue. of the fine weather which preceded the wet, this sup-
posed Jujuy was prevented, as Wheat comes to maturity in
a lodged state nearly as anon as standing upright, and is cer-
tainly is less danger of being shed by the high winds. He
enocledes, that " the inhabitants of our islsnd have little or
nothing with which they can reproach Nature; that oar
situation, soil, production and climate, afford the amplest
scope for the exertion and, employment of the industrious;
and that, if it be true that the Irish are deficient in either,
the causes are to be sought fur, not in natural disadvantages,
which do nut exist, but in some political defects which
should be s xuaisied, developed, and corrected."—(
