MONTHLY AORIOOLTVRA REPIIIIT.—An unkindly an
variable season has concluded in tone of the inost expensive
and distressing harvests, to the nsajolity of our farmers, to
which an 'meek:tin climate subjects us. We have, however,
expel traced far worse seasons, in which cold, wet, and
and blighting weather has been more constant, the present
having been telieved almost throughout by warm and genial
alterations. The contineut has not been more fortunate.—
With respect to the harvest in particaLsr. Ireland has per-
haps suffered mote Ile:111113 111i111 i is country, in which the
Western parts have berm most unfortunate. In Scotland,
and in the N./1111 generally the a heats are said to have been

of the most tortunke districts. The plant of all the white

Much coin has beets necessarily bowed in a wet and bad

DARING ROSIIIERY.-.-B, INV.: ell the hours of one and
five o'clock on Si [tacky morning, a most daring robbery
was committed at Beaumont Lodge, the mansion of
Viscount A,librook, at Old Windsor. The servants had
not returned to rest till past one o'clock, and lights were
burning during tile night iu several of the sleeping rooms,
Ms Lordship, tv itlt his family, being at the Lodge. Ne-
vertheless a gatig of determined thieves had the audacity
to break into the principal suite of apartments on the
ground floor, which they plundered cf all the moveable
articles of value within their reach. The parlour, whose
windows open to the lawn, ,was first entered, by the re-
moval of a pane of glass, and the use of 3 centre-bit, to
make an op: nine in the shutter. The thieves then lighted
up tile wax candles that remained its toe rooms, and
deliberately proceeded to rifle every drawer and cabinet
in the parlour, and the adjoining apartments. The locks
in the several pieces of furniture were either forced, or
roles dril!ed through the bolos %tilt a centre-bit.—
Amongst the articles taken away were four French ortias
enema' clocks, a silver inkstand, a gold box with a
miniature, two surtout coats, and a variety of trinkets
and articles of tate; au ivory casket 01 very costly wail'.
inanship %vas forced open, and of course greatly injured,
but not removed. They were even so cool in their ope-
rations, as to break open 3 tea caddy, and remove the tea.
By the traces which the robbers left behind them, it
appears that they entered Lord Aslibrook's premises
through the adjoinitig grounds of M rs. Bouncll, where
it is conjectuied a light cart was waiting to receive the
loony. Three persons at least must have been concerned
in this robbery, and there is no doubt, front the style of
their operations, that they most base been practised
thieves. Messrs l)uwsrit and Revco, of Windsor, are
active in their search a:ter the robbers, but as yet without
success.

Footpad liottrry —On ThuriAli evenitm as Mr. Join
Doom an, of Oa% toll TtlldCr, luuth Lmilaih, was
fCltallilla to his residence throtiOi Camberwell New
Cot, he was stopped by a fellow, who pu'l.ng a large
knife from under his CO4l, Jrnt.utd d, %%i:11 a volley of
imprecations, bis money. Mr. D. belt% a very power-
ful athletic man, se,zed the thief by the collar, who
lused with I , and, during she snuggle, coittrised to
get off his coat and waistcoat; brine. thus disengaged he
struck Mr. 1) a thmenduus blow on the woinach,
%%Inch brought Inut to the ground almost senseless;
wittle down the villain robbed him of his waicit 1111 d
appendages, and Morteen guineas in gold, will wine
silver; the tine; missed, in ht. hurry, taking Mr. D.'s
pocaet-book, which was in his coat pocket, and con-
tained a number of lions, Eire. Mr. Donovan was so
ill from the elects of the blow he recei‘eil, that he could
not more from the ground, or give an alai no for severat
militates. The thief got clear uhf with his booty. 11. hat
renders this robbery the wore daring is, the place is a
public thbroughlare, and several persons wore passing
ixar the place.
On Tuesday morning, the 18th inst. a serious ac.
cident happened at the Turkey red dye-works of Mr.
Hubert Andrew, Green Mount, Manchester. Two
small coppers, in which the steam is confined used
in t::e dying process, accidentally gave way, in con-
sequence of an iron rod breaking which secured the
covers. The explosion was so great as to carry away
the roof of the building, and unfortunately four of the
workmen, including the threman, who were in the
building, were so much scalded and bruised, that they
were carried to the infirmary, and we are sorry to
add, the threman is since dead. The others are in a
Mir way of recovery.
Ou Tuesday night last, a fire broke out in the farm
at Castle sagnt, the seat ii! Col. Hawn, in the County
Kildare, by %%inch a 1,1.111 Lit) 01 ha), of the value us jtoUl.
