THE WEATlLlll.—Within these three days a most
remarkable change for the better has taken place.
The heavy rains have utterly ceased, and both the ba-
rometer and thermometer stand high (the latter to-day
at ['non at 78) with a slight dry east wind, and every
appearance of a continuance. In the present feverish
and critical state of the currency, and the still more
feverish state of the working classes in the Midland
and Northern districts, a bad harvest would be one
of the greatest calamities that could befal the country,
and all must therefore feel grateful to a bountiful Pro-
vidence for the present cheering prospects of im-
provement.

THE NEWCASTLE MURDER.-Bolam was
sentenced on Thursday, to be transported for life.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The
reports received to-dly are gloomy. The rain appears to
have done greater and more extensive injury than previous
accounts led us to apprehend, not only in many parts of
England, but in Scotland and Ireland also. In the neigh-
bourhood of Dublin considerable injury has been done by
the floods. The county of Wicklow is inundated by the
mountain torrents. In some places bodies were found
carried down by the inundation, and furniture of cot-
tages was found strewed about on the Banks of the rivers.
The accounts from several parts of Ireland are far from sa-
tisfactory, and represent the Corn as much beaten down.
The late rain has not, however, been general throughout
the country.

ANTICIPATED STATE OF THE WEATHER
FOR AUGUST.-Fine weather is very desirable in this month,
that the principal source of the farmer's wealth may be
safely housed. lam happy to state that the meteorolo-
gical signs denote a change for better weather, at the
commencement of the month, perhaps a few partial elec-
trical showers near the 3d, yet warm and clear pleasant
weather at times, as the Sun aspects Jupiter on the sth
and 6th. The 6th and 7th, and the new Moon on the 9th,
denote warm temperature and tendency to thunder showers.
Towards the 12th, showers and windy. Heat on the 14th
and 15th, probably thunder. Towards the 16th and 17th,
fine summer weather. Changeable on the 18th. The
20th ard following days denote warm temperature and
probably thunder. Towards the 24th fair summer weather.
The 25th and 26th, changeable and windy. The 27th,
rain, and probably thunder near this time, as the sun
aspects Saturn. The month ends warmer and drier as the
sun aspects Mars on the 31st. The general character of
the weather will not be unfavourable for the harvest, with
the exception of a few electrical showers occasionally.._
Mr. C. S ugden, of Howden.
EXTENSIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE FLOODS.
We regret to find by papers from the provinces, that many
parts of the North cf England, as well as some districts in
Scotland and in Ireland, (noticed elsewhere) have been
visited by floods, the wide-spread destruction of which in
the neighbourhood of Doncaster particularly, is represented
as truly alarming, at Rotherham, East Retford, and many
other places. The damage done to the crops, it is feared,
will be very considerable ; indeed in some parts it is thought
that a large portion will be de3troyed.
RISE AND FALL OF GREAT MEN.—Abra-
ham Cann, the champion wrestler of England, is now en-
gaged to deliver tickets at the halfpenny gate at Stone-
house-bridge. In the same town, some years ago, Louis
Philip de Bourbon (alias Charles Phillips), an emigrant,
published a syllabus of a course of lectures, which he pro-
posed giving to a limited number of subscribers. This
same Louis Philip is, at the present moment, King of the
French.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT BY MACHINERY.—
Between six and seven o'clock yesterday morning James
Clarke, aged seventeen, in the employ of Messrs Dunning
and Birch, of the Minories, wool and mattras manufacturers,
was attending to a steam-engine, when his right band got
drawn in under the strap of the drum, and bcfore the en-
gine could be stopped, the
.hand was literally wrenched off
at the wrist joint. He was instantly conveyed, in a state of
extreme suffering, to the London Hospital.
