. - THE HARVEST.

Harvest will ir immoral thin week in all the low :rounds

fa the stewartry of kirrnilbright Ilse harvest hasenatmene-
ed Wi rood earliest; but in Wigionshire the crops are cue-
tolerably later.

Various fields have Ix ri) already mat in. A,„hire, and this
week the harvest will be general is SeVEIIII districts, partiru•
IRrly in Carrick. The wheat sill he above an average crop;
bat the oats, it is feared, will be dr Relent. The strong
crops Invt been, very murb lodged by the IS rains; but its
general they were pretty well filled previously, so that the
damage will be the less. What is somewhat siagular, con.
tinged rains have fallen for many hour, ill *owe places,
while .at the distance of a few mile, dry weather has pre.
yakked 'without any interruption. The Roods in several mea..
dams ban beta very destructive to the hay crops.

On Thursday, the 17th August, the calling of nal* vim-
ouleaged on several different farms in the punish of Cohn°.
tell, mid-en the 19th io Rallatilrae, and will be continued
every 'genii work day until the harvest be finished. It is
moat cheering to find from all quarters, that this grain is
heavy; lierfectly and of the very finest quality.

The,lrish who have come neer to resist al the harvest

particularly the potetoci. The oldest firmer does not recol-
lect a sear when the flax crop in Ir►lsnd was au good. In

PUNIFRIVS, AUGUST 22.

Since our lost, the. weather hos bre., more fovnitrable for
the creps, moil harvest has now partially commenced. Yes.
terday morning several shearer', were enviged at the rat• of
ls. fld a day, without victual.; and this morning a few
more were hired at. the same wars. Last week some excel--
lent new oatmeal was sold in our market al 3s. a stone. la
particular situation., the stronger description of crops have
been sadly lodged by the bate lout...tennis weather; but, open
the whole, we are happy to moderation!, that the damage
striving finm this cause Isla be much less than was at out
time supposed.

At • meeting of the Presbytery, held at Kirkcudbright
lately, the can! of Mr. GILLIFPIea arrest by Col. Goatto•,
for playing for the Quern, came on before them, when they
agreed to a man, that the Chaplain of the corps had •lame
nothing to merit such treatment; asset resolved to lay the
cam before the next General Assembly. Her 3JaJerry has
beta since regularly played fur in that quarte►.
A few nights azo, the tent cif George F.ailes, K-q. near
Machu/ail, Kent, was robbed, moire rather mysteria,ma
tir-
cemata•ces. The family, um retiring to rest, secured Ilse
premiers in the usual manner, sad next morning it was dis-
covered that the ►worse had been robbed or three large travel-
ling trunks, ciiiiMitiing diamond. and other jewellery of va-
lise, besides gold and banknote., plate, and wearing ap.
parel, to the amount of several hundred pounds. Au ems.
noriation immediately look place, beat it did not seem clear
how the rublsery was effected, although some traces of •
suspicious nature were discernible about the garden •nd
lawn, and it was Nand that three ill-looking men, with a
carter, haul spent the day, and until a late hour at night, at
the Tiger's Head, on the common, ■nd at their departure
drove in the direction of Mr. 1: 's house. The trunks were
afterward. found. emptied of their valuable contents, in an
enclosure belonging to J. Wells, Gil. about half • mik off.
