THE HARVEST.

In London and the neighbourhood the rain was,
yesterday, incessant. We have the following intelli-
gence from the country :
The harvest is still subject to impediment and partial
injury, by occasional showers. The wheat is stacked on
all forward lands, and every day lessens the apprehension
of any serious detriment of the national produce. In
many places barley has been hauled in prime condition,
as to quality and yield.—Bath Journal.
The weather has here been singularly bad and un-
wholesome the most of the week. The crops arc looking
miserable, and there seems now little hope for them even
should a month of unbroken fine weather immediately
ensue. Most of the wheat will probably be unfit for
use. The accounts from all parts of the country are un-
fa vo u rah I e.— Preston Observer.
The weather continues exceedingly fickle and un-
propitious for the labours of the field, some of which
have been thereby so much protracted as to produce
serious misgivings in reference to the general result o:
the harvest. Much damage must have been sustained
by the corn crops ; and any very g-eat deterioration in
the quality of the grain must operate prejudicially not
only to the qualty but quantity of the flour, the yield
from inferior grain being less than from grain of a fine
description. Next to the general interest very naturally
felt as to the grain crops in Gloucestershire, the state of
fie pasture lands is a matter of no slight moment ; and
we state that scarcely ever could these lands present a
more beautiful appearance than at present, and if the
weather should take up to be dry, this luxuriance would
be exceedingly beneficial In many places, however,
they are so completely saturated with wet, that a con-
tinuance of rain cannot fail to do them much injury.—
Gloucester Journal. _ .

THE HAILVEST.—From the period embraced by our
last notice, up to Wednesday night, the weather was
exceedingly unfavourable for the harvest. We had
daily heavy rains of long continuance, acclmpanied by
high winds, which must have laid the thick crops to a
great extent, and greatly injured the quality of the
produce. Thursday and yesterday were much finer—
indeed, two beautiful days 7, and the farmers were ex-
ceedingly busy wherever the crops were in a fit state for
the operations of the reapers.—Durham Chronicle.
The weather since our lest has not realised the hope
that we then expressed, but hrzs continued generally un-
favourable for the harvest. The consequence has been
that a great quantity of barley has been discoloured,
and nothing but the low temperature that has prevailed
has prevented its sprouting. There are also in some
parts considerable quantities of wheat yet lying out.
Those farmers who were not onabled to take advantage
of the late fine weather will necessarily sustain consi-
derable loss.—Dorset Courtly Chronicle.
Though the sickle is now in full operation in this
neighbourhood, it would be premature to hazard an
opinion upon the result of .the harvest ; but, judging
from the appearance of the grain, and the weight and
fulness of the ear, the crop will be nowhere in this
district below an average one:, whilst in favourable spots
the yield will be abundant and good. Wheat is much
superior in every respect to that of last year, and bar-
ley also presents a considerable improvement ; oats are
in general of good quality, arid where the soil is suitable
and the situation favourable:, the crop is fully equal, if
not superior, to that of any previous year's growth.—
Newcastle Journal.

Notwithstanding that wee have had one or two most
unfavourable days for harve st operations in this neigh-
bourhood, a great quantity of grain has been already
secured in very good conditlion ; and should the present
fine weather continue for a irew days longer, the whole
of the crops of this neigh bourhood will be safely
housed. We hear it admitl ed on all hands that the
crop will be more than an. average one.—Doncaster
Chronicle.

From some of the Irish. papers we should conclude
that the weather had partially improved, but in a letter
dated the 14th we have tin ► following bad intelligence :
—" After four days of glorious harvest weather the
rain returned last evening, accompanied by a strong
gale from the north-west, e.nd still at this hour (six
p.m.) it is coming down "ft ist and furious." A large
quantity of the ripe corn 1 las been cut and secured
during the interval of fine wt •ather ; but tar the largest
proportion of the general cro .p is still uncut. In many
places the oats are green an (1 unfit for the sickle. It
is remarkable that the pray tice of mowing this grain,
now so universal in Englan has not been adopted in
this country, although expedition is of such manifest
importance, when every gl earn of sunshine is most
precious."

Favourable weather for t he ingathering of the ripe
crops, and for ripening those progressing to maturity has
prevailed since Tuesday, no r has it been unavailed of,
the utmost activity being nt ►w exerted throughout the
more advanced districts. 'I 'he Wheat growers are ge-
nerally much disappointed in their expectations, the
average return in many inv Lances not exceeding three
barrels to an acre, where seven and eight had been
looked for."—Cork Souther? z Reporter of Saturday.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

DREADFUL GIG ACClDENT.—Yesterday an inquest
was held by Mr. W. Carter, the Coroner for the
eastern division of Surrey, at the White Hart, Nor-
wood, on the body of Mr. James Somers, who died in
consequence of the injury he had received by being
thrown out of a chaise on Sunday evening.
William Jinks deposed that op Sunday evening, be-
tween five and six o'clock, he was walking down
Annerly-hill, Norwood, whe❑ he heard the sound of a
horse and chaise coming down the hill at a furious
rate. On looking back he saw a gig in which were two
gentlemen, and the horse appeared to be running
away. Both the gentlemen had their bats off, and be
observed the near trace hanging down. The chaise
passed him, and when it had gone about twenty yards,
the off wheel ran against a post at the side of the road,
and both the gentlemen were thrown out with great
force. He went up to the deceased and found him
lying insensible, and covered with blood. He was Thrown
a distance of sixty-nine feet from the spot where the
chaise ran against the post. The other gentleman had
his arm broken, but be got up and ran after the horse
and chaise, which had been turned over in a ditch.
In answer to questions from the Jury, the witness
stated that there were a number of little posts from
twelve to fourteen inches high, which were very dan-
gerous to all passengers, and which were of no use what
ever. It was one of these posts that was the cause of
the fatal accident.

The foreman of the Jury said be believed the road in
question was under the control of her Majesty's Com-
missioners of Woods and Forests. The posts were
most dangerous, and he thought it would be advisable
that the Coroner should write to the Commissioners,
and request that they might be removed.
The Jury concurred in this remark, and said that on
a dark night a person might drive over the posts with-
out without seeing them, as they were only about twelve
or fourteen inches high.
The CORONER said that it was possible the Commis-
sioners might be made acquainted with the opinion of
the Jury through the medium of the public press, but
at the same time be had no objection to make a special
communication upon the subject if the Jury considered
it advisable.

Bedser, the constable of Norwood, deposed that
about five o'clock he saw the deceased with a gentle-
man named Watson in a chaise. They stopped at the
White Hart and had some refreshment, and were per-
fectly sober. Shortly afterwards he heard that an ac-
cident had happened, and he went to Annesley Hill and
assisted in conveying the deceased to the White Hart.
He examined the deceased's head, and found that a
quantity of blood and brains were protruding from each
of his ears. He groaned once. He die in about
twenty minutes after he was brought to the White
Hart. Mr. Watson, the gentleman who was with the
deceased was very much injured, and his left arm was
broken in two places. He had some conversation with
him respecting the accident, and he told him that the
horse had started off in consequence of one of the
traces getting loose and striking him on the belly, and
tie deceased seized the reins and pulled the horse on one
side, and that caused the fatal accident. Bedser added
that Mr. Watson told him that when the chaise struck
the post, it seemed as though he was thrown twenty
yards in the air.

The Jury remarked that the concussion must have
been frightful, to have thrown the deceased the distance
stated by the first witness.

Mr. kaners, a surgeon, deposed that upon examining
the deceased he found that his brains and skull were
literally smashed to pieces, and that a large stone stuck
in the head.

The Jury returned a verdict of—" Accidental death ;"
and Mr. Carttar, at the request of the Jury, promised
to make a communication to the proper authorities, re•
lative to the removal of the posts.

ACCIDENT.—On Friday afternoon, a carter,
named Dempster, was proceeding up Jamaica-street, in
charge of two carts, and at the head of the first, when the
second overturned a female named Whitelaw, passed over
her person, breaking her thigh bone in two places, and
fearfully shattering her arm. The carter was moving on
after the catastrophe, as if nothing particular had hap-
pened, when he was stopped by a gentleman, given in
charge, and arraigned on Seturday at the Police Court.
The carter stated in defence that he had hulloed to the
vioman, but the case was delayed on account of the ab-
sence of a material witness; though see believe the above
statement is correct. Only four days have elapsed since
a fatal accident occurred by a cart passing over a child,
and though no blame was attached in this instance, it is
not the less true, that many of the Glasgow carters jostle
Along the streets as if their sole duty was to get forward,
without reference to such things as huivan beings passing
in the way. The practice is open to remedy doubtless.—
Glasgow Herald.

On Tuesday evening, the 10th instant, two little
boys, near Carrickfergus, the one six aad the other seven
years of age, brothers, went into a neighbouring house,
the elder of whom took up a loaded gun that was impru-
dently left in a corner, and in jest pointed it at his brother,
and said he would shoot him. The gun went off, and his
brother was shot dead on the spot.—Belfast Whig.
On the 6th instant a bottle was cast ashore within
two miles of Barmouth, Monmouthshire, which was fou,d
to contain a letter addressed to a gentleman in this
town. It bad been thrown, on the 6th of May, from the
brig Friendship, Captain Lawson, which left Greenock for
Honduras on the 2d of that month, and had thus been
drifting about for four months. Edinburgh Evening
Courant.

FLOODS.—In consequence of the late heavy
rains the whole of the rivers in the western part of the
county have risen to an unusual height, and some o f them
have done considerable damage. The little rivulets Ker
and Blackbeck, which meet at Beckermont, were swollen
on Saturday to a greater height than the oldest person
living can remember. The little bridge leading to the
public house at Tail end was swept away and many other
bridges and walls were thrown down by the force of the
stream. At Gosfortb, what is termed the Cross Lane was
for a considerabie time impassable, owing to the accumu-
lation of water on the road. On the same day consider-
able damage was done on the farm of John. Richard and
Robert Shepherd, of Th.waites, in Kinny side. There is
.
no river, but the rain has fallen so heavy that rushed
down from the fell with frightful impetuosity, destroying
the fences, and sweeping away everything that opposed
a barrier to its irresistible progress. In our neighbour-
hood the Eden has risen to an unusual height; but w'
have not heard of any damage done by flooding.—Carlisle
Patriot.
On Sunday morning, about four o'clock, a colli-
sion took place between the Gazelle, Hull steam-ship, and
the Royal Victoria, Leith steamer, od Greenwich. The
Gazelle was on her way to London, and the Royal Victo-
ria on her passage to Scotland. The two steamers went
stem on to eaca other, and the figure- head and the cutwater
of the Victoria were carried away, and the Gazelle was
very materially damaged, the figure-head being smashed,
and the fore deck much injured. The morning was very
dark and hazy, and the accident is supposed to have bap_
pened in consequence of the Gazelle getting close in shore
for the purpose of taking in a pilot. The figure head of
the Victoria was picked up by a Waterman, and taken to
the St. Katherine's Wharf, from which the vessel sails.
EDMUND SPENSER.—MT. Mitford remarks,
The discovery of this patent (to Spenser, for the laureat-
ship) was very important; for it lessens our belief in the
truth of the foolish and illiberal speeches attributed to
Lord Burleigh : as his telling the Queen, that 'tbe pension
was a good example, too great to be given to a ballad-
maker;' that the payment of the pension was intercepted
by Burleigh ; that when the Queen, upon Spenser's
presenting some poem to her, ordered him the gra-
tuity of 1001., his Lordship asked with some contempt
What I all this for a song and that the Queen'
replied, Then give him what is reason." In dis-
crediting this story, Mr. Mitford follows Malone
and Todd (and, indeed, seldom goes beyond their autho-
rity), but there is contemporary evidence of the truth of
what Fuller relates, and almost in the very words he uses.
It is now eight years since the existence of a MS. in the
British Museum was publicly pointed out in a popular work,
which MS. fully confirms it; it is the diary of a barrister
kept in the years 1601 and 1602, only three or four years
after Spenser's death, in which we read as follows :
" May 4, 1602—When her Majesty bad given orders that
Spenser should have a reward for his poems, but Spenser
could have nothing, he presented her with these verses :
" It pleas'd your Grace upon a time
To grant me reason for my. rhyme
But from that time until this season
I heard of neither rhyme nor reason."

This was playing upon the very vvord, Fuller assigns to
the Queen as spoken to Lord Burleigh—" Then give him
what is reason." Therefore there can no longer be any
doubt as to the veracity of the an .Tdote.—Morniny
Paper.
Such is the awful stagnation of trade and com-
merce at Guernsey, that, in the last six years, as we are
informed by the Star, the aggregate value of household
property has been depreciated two hundred thousand
pounds In Jersey, on the contrary, household property,
in the same period, has improved in value, we are per-
suaded, to the amount of treble that sum. Building is
going on with astonishing rapidity in all directions ; and
yet we hear frequent complaints of the difficulty of getting
houses.—Jersey Times.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.---On Wednesday,
the 4th current, Mr. Peter Kevand, farmer, Glenling, and
Mr. George Manson, blacksmith, at Lane of Mochrum,
went to fish in the Bay of Luce, near Port-William.
They had a small boat, and had rigged her with a mast
and sails belonging to a larger one, expecting, as there
was not a great deal of wind, that she would carry sail.
They were seen in the bay about ten o'clock, but soon
afterwards the boat suddenly disappeared, although no
person saw how the accident occurred ; and it was
not until the friends of the unfortunate men had
become alarmed at their prolonged absence that any
doubts as to their safety were entertained. Next da),
however, some of the oars and other gear of the boat, and
Mr. Kevand's hat, came on shore a few miles to the north
of Port William, and it is too certain that they have both
perished. What renders the case more distressing is, thlt
Mr. Kevand was only a few months married, and that Mr.
Manson was in a great measure the support of his father
and family, the father having some years ago lost one of his
hands by an accident, which has rendered him unfit to
work at his trade. Neither of the bodies had been found
on Friday..—Edinburgh Courant.
The Commerce asserts that the treaty between
the Fi encla Government and the representatives of the
Republic of Texas, for the recognition of the latter by,
the former, has been signed ; but this statement appears
premature. It is, however, deemed probable that the
nt.gociat on will terminate favourahlv.
