LATE HARVEST IN WALES.—For upwards of forty
years so protracted a harvest as the present has not
been known in Newtown, Montgomeryshire, it having
but just been completed. The weather is now all that
rapidly p
could be desired, and ploughing and sowing are being
roceeded with. In some parts of Denbighshire,
also, and other portions of the Principality, the harvest
is equally late.

BROTHELS.—THE GREAT NUISANCE OF GREAT CITIES.
—The Marylebone vestry have had their attention
called to the number of brothels in Charlotte-street,
where they are kept open, and without disguise, to the
great nuisance of the neighbourhood, and the great
danger of its property. One of the houses is conducted
in the most flash style, by afemale rejoicing in number-
less aliases. Gentlemen drive up in coaches and four,
in dog-carts with two footmen behind, and in vehicles
having two mounted postilions, while the " ladies " of
the establishment also drive out
i in coaches and four, re-
turning home at night intoxicated, two of them some-
times occupying the box seat. A notice to quit was
served on a brothel-keeper in Norton-street, who closed
the house, and removed to another in the same street,
opposite the clergyman's house, where the party resumed
business as brisk as ever.

GERMANY.

The Chamber of Representatives of the Grand
Duchy of Luxemburg, in its sitting of the 19th,
adopted, after a discussion of not less than six
days, the project of address in reply to a speech
from the throne. On the first four days the dis•
cussion solely turned on the point as to whether it
should be on the report presented by the committee,
the Government seeing in the panegyric passed on
the preceding Government, a suspicion cast on the
present one, which constitutes an attack on the
constitutional prerogative of the King Grand Duke
to choose the men who are to compose the Govern-
ment of the Grand Duchy. The Ministers having,
however, protested their constitutional intentions,
and their devotedness to the institutions of the
country, M. Metz, the leader of the opposition
party, himself proposed to send back the address
to the committee to soften down the terms of it.
The project, modified in this sense, was accepted
by the Government and by the Opposition, and
adopted unanimously.
The supplementary elections for the Second
Chamber of Baden, 25 in number, have all been
favourable to the Conservative party, both the
liberal and clerical parties having been left in small
minorities.
" The Austrian Government," says the Cologne

Gazette, "is employing all the efforts in its power
to moderate the ardour for emigration which has
taken possession of the people. It raises all imagin-
able difficulties to the delivery of passports."
The Augsburg Gazette states that the emigration
from Southern Bohemia goes on increasing. A
**umber of the inhabitants of Bohemia are also
establishing themselves in Prussian Poland.
" A letter from Aleppo," says the Cologne Gazette,
" mentions an extarordinary fact in the annals of
Islamism—namely, that the ulemas have frater-
nised with the Christian priests, and that on a re-
cent occasion they drank in common to the wank'
hilation of the Muscovites."

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Nov. 23.

(Before Mr. Serjeant Adams, Assistant Judge, at
Westminster.)

Gilbert, whose case was mentioned on Mond. was
brought up for judgment.
Mr. Torre produced a certificate from the Horse
Guards, to the effect that the prisoner had borne a good
character for the seven years he had served in the army.
He mentioned that the inhabitants of the neighbourhood
entertained so good an opinion of him that some of
them had drawn up a memorial, showing doubts as to
the correctness of the verdict against him.
No one appeared to substantiate an assertion made at
the trial, and as the prisoner had been already in prison
seven weeks, he should sentence him to be kept to hard
labour for one month further.
James Machell was indicted for a nuisance at New
Breutford.

Mr. Ularkson appeared for the defendant, and ;stated
that he would plead guilty, and was willing to enter
into a recognisance to come up for judgment when called
upon. Whatever the court thought he ought to do with
respect to the nuisance complained of, would be done
willingly by the defendant.
Mr. Bodkin, on the part of the prosecution, which
was instituted by the local authorities, stated the
grounds of their having taken these proceedings. The
defendant was a butcher, and had occupied premises in
New Brentford for four or five years, and in the yard
connected therewith he kept 40 or 50 pigs, whichi were
fed on the offal of his trade. The stench arising ..`rom
this yard was enough to poison the air. The defendant
was besides this a dealer in hides and skins, which he
collected on the premises at night, creating an abomino-
ble stench, dung and manure were heaped up againsi`,
neighbours' houses, and when a pig died it was thrown
on the heap with the offal. In addition he carried on a
bone boiling business, to the prejudice of the health of
the neighbourhood ; and under these circumstances, all
that was required was that the nuisance should be
abated. They were willing to adopt the suggestion of
his friend, and leave the court to determine what
abatement there should be.

The Assistant-Judge said after he had visited the
place himself it might be necessary for him to consult
some scientific person as to what should be done.
_ _

This was agreed to, and the defendant having pleaded
guilty, and entered into a recognisance,
The Assistant-Judge informed him that he should visit
the place himself, and if he found that the business could
not be carried on except with prejudice to the health of
the neighbourhood, it must be given up altogether, but
the court would see whether by any alteration this
necessity might not be obviated.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE

WEEK.

( From the Registrar-General's Report)
The mortality for last week shows but a small reduc-
t ion on the previous return, which was rather high. In
t. he week that ended on Saturday the number of deaths
registered in London was 1,162. In the ten corres-
pi)nding weeks of this years 1843 52 the average number
was 1,023, which, if raised in proportion to increwe of
population, becomes 1,125. Therefore the actual 'nor-
tali ty somewhat exceeded the estimated amount.

It -is satisfactory to perceive that the mortality from
chojera was not so great as in the four previous weeks,
•he number of deaths having fallen to 72, while that
from diarrhoea was only 36. In the three weeks of No-
vemi)er cholera carried off 102, 98, and 72 persons. The
mean weekly temperature, which rose so high as 55.5
deg. in the last week of October, declined in the two
subsequent weeks to 48.9 deg. and 45.7 deg., and last
week fell so low as 38.5 deg. Of last week's deaths from
cholera, 5 occurred in the west districts, 11 in the north,
3 in the central, 20 in the east, and 33 in the districts
on the south side of the river.

Last week the births of 814 boys and 747 girls, in all
1,561 ci\ildren, were registered in London. The average
number in eight corresponding weeks of the years
1845-52 was 1,356. _

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.723 inches.
The me an temperature was 38.5 deg., which is 4.3 deg.
below the average of the same week in 38 years. The
mean daily temperature was below the average on every
day of the week, and this depression extended to 8.5
deg. and 6.8 deg. on Thursday and Friday. The dew-
point temperature was 36.2 deg.

SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 23.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's char-
tered steam-ship City of London has arrived with
the usual Peninsular mails.
Her dates are—Gibraltar, Nov. 14 • Cadiz, 15th ;
Lisbon, 19th ; Oporto and Vigo, 20th.
She brings 40 passengers, 1801. in specie, and
usual cargep.
Her news includes the death of the Queen of
Portugal, who died in childbirth on the 15th inst.
The infant, a prince, did not survive. The King
Consort has assumed the Regency during the mino-
rity of the young King, Pedro V., which will ter-
minate in September, 1855, and has confirmed the
present ministers in their respective offices.
The funeral was to take place on the 19th, the
day on which the packet left the Tagus.
filer Majesty's sudden death has bees deeply
felt by all classes in the capital.
The funeral would be generally attended by Per"
tuguese, as well as English, merchants.
The King Consort's instalment as Regent for his
son, Dom Pedro V., had been well received by
the people.
The Princess of Joinville, the late Queen's
favourite sister, had a severe shock upon hearing
of her Majesty's sudden death when she entered
the Tagus with the Prince, on board the City of
London, 24 hours after it had taken place.
The City of London left her Majesty's steam'
frigate Odin anchored in the Tagus on the 19th
inst., also the French steamers of war Newton
and Canada, the latter having put in on the 12th
to repair her engines, being bound for Brest
for Toulon, with sailors. The English barque
Brazilian, which arrived at Lisbon on the 7th
with 460 tons of coals from Liverpool, had,
after partially discharging, drifted from her anchor-
age in the quarantine ground at Belem during
the night of the 11th, and got upon the rocks near
St. Julian, within the bar. She received prompt
assistance from Captain Scott and the crew of the
Odin as soon as her situation was known, but, the
vessel had become a wreck and was advertised fot
sale. The Odin's crew had much hevere work in
saving everything removable from the Brazilian,
and deserve remuneration for clothes destroyed in
the water, &c.
Her Majesty's ship Queen, 15 days from Ply;
mouth, arrived at Gibraltar on the 11th inst., and
proceeded for Malta.
Her Majesty's steam-frigate Terrible, Rear• A-
dmiral Sir E. Lyons, five days from Plymouth,
arrived on the 12th inst., and sailed, after a tare
hours' detention, for the Mediterranean.
The City of London brings on freight 1,755 hag'
chests of oranges, 1,780 boxes of raisins, 265 13010'5
of figs, 158 packages of dates, 221 boxes of eggs,
and sundry merchandise.
At Lisbon business was in a state of stagnation
in consequence of the death of the Queen. Inscrir
flans were quoted at 381 : Exchange on London,
541 for bills at 90 days' sight.
At Gibraltar exchange on England was quoted At
524 for bills at 90 days' date ; on Paris, sf. 370.

" The Times " Company affords guarantee to persons requiring the
same at the lowest possible rate, and divides four-fiths of the profits.
Thus, by applying the justly popular principle of mutuality to public
guarantee, the premiums, instead 01 being a tax upon honesty, be-
come a means of saving and investment.
Rates —From 7s. Gd. upwards. No charge for stamps or extra
charges. An allowance made in the guarantee premium, where a
life assurance and guarantee are combined.

LIFE ASSURANCE.
Life assurance, annuities, and endowments. Payments taken
monthly as well as quarterly, &c. Policies indisputable, save in
cases of fraud. Arrangements can be made with this office to pre-
vent the loss of a policy where the assured is unable, from temporary
embarrassment, to keep up the payments.

S.

sions, of nations are confided. A modern army ha
great deal of the locomotive about it, tremendous in its
power, unreascning, unfeeling, but yet easily subject to
control. It is singular how the mechanical spirit of the
age has overtaken and subdued this like everything else.
As the farmer depends upon his implements, the mer-
chant on the rail and the steam-ship, the manufacturer
on the iron fingers at work for him untiringly in his
mill, so rifle and battery, skilful evolution and steady
discipline are doing away with the rough and desperate
extremities of close quarters, cross bayonets, and hand-
to-hand encounters. Sham fights would be contempti-
ble as pageants if they did not bring out and present
for contemplative observation the immense progress
which is still making in the art of war, and the high
state to which it has already attained.

on the 20th August, 1847, heroic. A new oath
had been established, which all employees were re-
quired to take.. One clause is to sustain the inde-
pendence of the nation and the integrity of her
territory. The Mexican papers are filled with news
as to the filibustering expedition from California
into' Sonora, and manifest considerable anxiety in
regard to the matter. Concerning the difficulties
between Mexico and the United States, the Trait
d' Union says—" If war is imminent in Europe, we
think it may be considered equally so, under certain
circumstances, between the United States and
Mexico. The violent language of the official jour-
nal at Washington bodes nothing good." The
dishonouring of the Sloo draughts had created
great distrust in Mexico, and it is said that Senor
Olarte despairs of carrying out the project. The
Isthmus of Tehuantepec had been declared a sepa-
rate territory. Minitillan was to be the capital.
No alteration worthy of notice had taken place
in the New York stock market. Money in good
demand, at 6to 7 per cent. Exchange on London,
109 k to 109 i ; Paris, sf. 12-ic. to sf. 131 c. ; Am-
sterdam, 414- to 41a ; Frankfort, 41 to 41i ; Bre-
men, 791 to 79g. Cotton without alteration, hold-
ers and buyers both waiting the Europa's advices.
The new crop is represented as being fully two to
three weeks later than last year, and the plant very
small. The advices per Franklin caused great ex-
citement in the breadstuff market, and prices ad-
vanced materially. Large sales of flour had been
made at an advance of 2s. to 3s. per barrel ; wheat
had also advanced 3c. to 6c. per bushel, with a
good demand. Indian corn firm ; southern yellow
was worth 71c. per bushel ; western mixed, 68c. to
70c. ; and damaged lots, 63c. to 65c. per bushel.
Provisions in fair demand, at firm prices. Rough
turpentine was selling at 3 dols. 87Ac., and spirits
46c. ; rosin without change. Freights to London
rm, at late rates.
