MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
The greater part of the harvest is secured in the sonthern and for.
ward dit.tricts ; in the northern parts of England and Scotland, it
Mill not commence until the tirq or second week in September.
The new wheats altra-dy sent to market have presented a dry and
tine sample. beans arc an universal great crop ; barley and oats
ithout, orsomeuhat above, an average. Potatoes as well as turnips
have suffered from the drought of the season, hut they are yet at a
reasonable price, and in great plenty. from their very extensive cul-
tivation. Turnips arc only good in patchy, and the Swedes have
generally suffered, in some Lauda being total:), destroyed. Hops are
a very irregular crop.

A Cvnrour. F.t CT.—A bOla forty five years ago, a person in this
comity lost three 51. notes, whether by accident, or his pocket had
been picked, he could never dearly ascertain ; but a few weeks ago,
1w received a letter from a man, describing himself as in a very
declining state, and informing him that two of his brothers and
himself (at a certain ti-':e and place) had taken the opportunity
whilst he slept, of picking his poi.ket of IN. Well they divided
equally amongst thetli ; that one of the brothers was dead, and the
other had lung since quitted the country. He concluded by ear-
nestly mine:sting that he would come to him and receive his share
of the booty, and grant him his forgivenes., that he might die in
peace, adding that if his death should take place before he reached
him, the five pounds would be fonod in the hands of the Clergstnan
of the parish. The person who had been plundered complied with
the contents of the letter, found him still alive, received the pro-
mised dividend, forgave him, and the self-accused culprit died a few
hours afterwards.— White/wen Paper.

ti ii:inest was held at Portsmouth, on Friday, on the body of
Fiances Colvin, who died in consequence of taking a quantity of
arsenic. The dercited, who was about v 4 years of age, was a straw
hat manufacturer and mantna maker in that town. It appeared, she
had received the addresses of a young man for some time ; but he at
length verceiving an irritability of temper in her, which was un-
congenial with his own, and with his views of future happiness,
about three tnontliS since he abandoned all his intentions concern-
ing her, formed a similar connection with another young woman,
and a few tley:s since was married. This last act, it would appear,
nnseated the mind of the deceased, and she conceived a dreadful
act of revenge, On Thursday morning; last, she purchased a pen-
knife, and in doing so, requested to have one as long in the blade
as possible. She then went to a neighbour's home, and sent a mes-
sage to the young man to come thither, as a gentleman wished to
speak to him. When he came, she said, " I am going to London—
will you not drink with mei'' He just tasted of the cup, and return-
ed it.—She said, I Wish it had been poison—l understand (she
continued) you are married ; are you not sorry fir it i" He replied,
" No." Instantly she shuffled the pen-knife from tinder ner gown-
sleeve, and made a blow at him, inflicting a deep wound in the
shoulder. The knife was broken three parts off by the Violence of
the thrust ; but with the remaining part she contented to strike at
his head, until, by his efforts, she was disarmed. Slie then left the
house, proceeded to a druggist's shop, and bought a quantity of
arsenic (tinder pretense that it was lb poison rats),snd went to her
home at Green's-field, Green.lanc. There she put the arsenic into a
cop, filled it up from the pump, and drank the principal part of the
contents. In a few minutes afterwards she infoimed her parents
and neighbours of what she bad done. Medical assi,tanee wigs sent
for ; lint she had taken so large a quantity of the poison, that r was
found impossible to make her void the whole of it from In .to-
mach. At half past five in the evening she dicd.—Coroner's

Sunday fortnight a barge belonging to Mr. Beasley, beavgdi ' ,n
with groceries and other merchandize, returning from London to
Reading; was met at Chewer l'oint, near Windsor, by a similar ves-
sel belonging to Mr. White, which► was sailing at a great rate, and
the men on board being all in the stern, the bead of Mr. White's
barge struck Mr. Beasley's in the side, stove it in, and she sunk.
The goodr on board were nitich damaged, and the loss sustained by
son►c tradesmen of Reading is nearly SOM.
The following shocking accident occurred at Sheerness last week'
a sailor who was intoxicated, having been put to bed, and; as is the
usual custom, locked in the room ; in order to get out he jumped
from the window of his bed room and broke both his legs. Surgical
assistance was immediately procured, and three men sat up with
bim during the night ; unfortunately they all fell asleep, and. tin
