THE HARVEST, ♦e. IN IRELAND.

Coax, dust's's. 114.—The Wheat harvest for 40 tulles
round is saved, mod i• general the gaudily excelkst. The
Oat crop is tome districts light, bat every where wassisd.
Harley as average crop, and little remains of the two last
mentioned crops to be saved ; t►e effect on the market is what
may be expected; some old Wheat has been sold so low as
131. to 14s. per barrel. No price has bees axed fur New Wheat
in conseqsware of she quantity of oh! is the market. Many
arse emseptso allow Wheat has bees exposed for sale with-
's& saaaaMiasseariers. First Flew from 12a. ss Ills. per
cut ; Is•sads 13s. to 15s; sad Household from 121. to 13s.
per cwt.
Asmaow, A t OM? 23 —We are happy to stale, that
through a way large portion of the north sad west parts of
the kingdom, towards which our inquiries lately extended,
the crops generally have assumed ■a appearance of abund-
ance and superior quality, f.r surnaming the crops of late
yams. Potatoes, Wheat, and Barley, are best is quality and
quantity, sod the Oats sod Hay which it was supposed from
the long devises, mate►iallr suffered, are amply sufficient in
quality and qoantity to afford perfect satisfaction to the
farmer.

KATI , AVOOST —Our Cors-nsarkets are scantily
'applied. Wheat seems io better supply than other grain,
sad rates from 12,. to las. per Issue', and, teepee instance',
for very prime quality, 17s. to 17..6d.; Ba►ley, moat, Oats,
very trillium and may be quoird 6s. to 7..
We are now on the eve of storing one of the richest and
must abaadent harvests with which kind Providence bas
blessed thin country daring half a cealstry. There are al-
ready wrensl fields of torn cat down in the vicinity of Sligo,
•ad i■ the course of another week reaping will become ge-
ment tbr..ughoot the county. This is mach earlier the,
usual. The potato crop, of the kingdom are most luxuriant
mil h calculated that nearly 20 per rest. over what is called
an average crop of all kind* will be gathered In this season
in Ireland.—!Sligo Aurae, August 24.)
The weather has eoirrineed to be an very Sae that the fate
of the harvest le derided. We shall have the most abundant
one evir remembered. and the viably very superior. Al-
ready ►ave priers declined ezeeedingly. Potatoes are about
lid. per steer, and there is nut the least doubt but that they
will fall to use pens, before another week passes. Grain al-
ready feels ■ serious depression; that which sold for 13.. per
cwt. • short time slime, will scarcely now bring Ss. and even
at this reduced price there is no demand.—(G'alway Adeet,
Gem)

The fair of Laughren, on Tuesday last, exhibited as One
• skew of castle as bad bees sees there for many yea's.
Some colts of prime conditio• were geld, het nisch ceder past
prices; in consequence great numbers left the fair unsold.
Wool sold in small quartities at Us. to Urs. per alum.—
At the last fsir of Wysidygap, in the county of Waterford,
there was brisker buying of notch cows sad pigs their we have
of lase wlthessed is the neighbourhood; and, what was
equally and more Dowel, there was uo fighting.
The prices for cattle at the fair of Spancihill, on Tuesday,
were ruder those offered at the fairs IselJ i• the county for
the lot (twisted—few strangers attesded.—(Clare joursal.)

It appears that already the number of applic4-
lions, with is thick and three-fold" recommendations,
to the Irish Government, for appointments under
the Constables' Bill, are about floe thousand ! Such
• point of attraction too has this Act rendered Dub-
lin Castle, that these applications have been con-
veyed to it from every point of the compass, and
every part of the United Kingdom. It could not
well be otherwise. The salary of the stipendiary
Magistrates, with all appurteinmees thereunto be-
longing (if the present harvest prove as plentiful as
it promise►), will be a first-rate object with half the
gentry in Ireland; and we understand it is only
persons of rook, lit to associate with the Irish
'Squires of antediluvian blood, who are to obtain
those important situations. The ve►y chief consta-
bles, indeed, are intended to be gentlemen. It is
said they are to be chosen almost exclusively from
the army half-pay list, under the rack of stuff offi-
cers, and it is calculated that a salary of 150 i. per
annum, with house, coals, candles, &c. &c. amount-
ing to abmst 100/. a-year more, will, added to half.
pay, and probably a passim', leave those constables
extremely comfortable, on an annual iocotue of
from four to live hundred pounds.— - ( Erexiog
