and the other half on the 30th April.
The settling of the British Account is going off well,
although money is exceedingly tight in the House.
There does not appear to be any change in the state of
trade at Manchester this week, but the demand foryarn
continues good, and an extensive business has been done
at the rates current last week; there is no change in
the prices.

We just hear of a failure in the British market, but one
scarce worth noticing, being of the small fry.

The Royal William steam-vessel, which arrived
at Leith at noon on Saturday last, was delayed on Wednes-
day night by a dense fog, which rendered it unsafe to pro-
ceed down the Thames beyond Woolwich till daylight next
day. A singular occurrence took place on board this yes.
sel during the latter part of thc voyage. A poor woman,
named Currie A!,httlan, with her son, a Child about two
Year! ni age, came on board the vessel as a deck passenger.
She appeared very unwell, and the steward of the second
cabin kindly permitted her to sleep in a vacant berth in the
ladies' cabin. At about half-past one o'clock the ladies
were alarmed by the cries of the poor woman, who was in
the last
w stakeas
on of pregnancy ; fortunately, Mr. A. Gillot,
surgeon, board the steamer, and promptly attended
a s
on the occasion, and in a short time welcomed to life " the
ocean child," a fine girl, who, with its mother, are doing
well. The father of this sea-born girl is a private in the
Royal Artillery, at present confined in a Lunatic Asylum
in London. The passengers on board the steamer made
a hberal subscription for the poor woman. The kind atten-
tion of the captain and the steward of the second cabin is
entitled to the highest praise. —Edinburgh Courant.
HARVEST.—The reports to-day add little or
nothing to what was previously known respecting the state
of the crops. All accounts concur in describing the wheat
as promising pretty well, but the writers state what is
evident to everybody, that without a succession of some
fine sunny days there must be a deficiency in quantity, as
well as much deterioration in quality.
