THE ALTER JNEUS OF THE THREE WITNESSES-.

1 John, v. 7.
A FEW WORDS of OBVIOUS TRUTH.
Price Is.
With the exception of " the Recognitions" (a record exciting
only a smile from the Orthodox themselves) not a single reference
is made to the Triple Mystery, alias Triune Beatitude, of the Bap-
tismal Commission, from the supposed date of its publication to the
time of Tertullian. So much for this trumpet-tongued testimony
to the doctrine of Trinity, and its thrice dipping. Never was
more palpable forgery denounced by internal and external evidence.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

In the neighbourhood of London, both last night and this
morning, much rain has fallen. We have a drizzling, disa-
greeable, foggy day, and November appears to have paid us
a visit—a transitory one only, we trust—two months before it-
time. The reports received from the country continue fas
vouraole. A week of splendid weather, with sunny days and
frosty-nights, has been of incalculable benefit to those parts of
the country where the crops were not previously secured.
Gr, at progress has been made in the-harvest last week in the
north of England ; and it is now very considerably advanced ;
but we are informed, in the Hull Observer, that there still re..
mains a large portion of corn in the fields, and much is yet uncut.
If there is any one week in the year that can be called the crisis
of the harvest, it is that which has just passed. The entire
harvtst throughout England and Scotland occupies little short
of three months, and last week, occurring in the very middle of
that period, and having been the finest we have enjoyed for a
long time, has been of the utmost importance in ripening corn
in the north, and in securing the crops in a large part of Eng-
land from the Tyne and the Tees southward. It cannot be
said that the weather it even yet very settled.
SCOTLAND —During the last three or four days, the weather
has been perfectly delightful, and harvest work has in cone.-
quence made rapid progress. The fields are everywhere
whitening, and in many places the crops are mostly cut down.
This state of matters is not confined to this neighbourhood -
in Fife the same cheering appearances are presented, and,
especially along the south coast, the barley harveit has far ad-
vanced, while some farmers are cutting their wheat,—Edin-
burgh Courant.

A few days of sunshine is very much wanted to complete
tie ripening of the wheat crop ; but with even ordinary weather
the oats will, in the low-lyiilg districts, be fully an average
crop. The potatoes appear to have suffered severely from the
frosty nights of last week, in all parts of the country. Oats
are everywhere a heavy crop—fairly above an average. Other
kinds of grain will, we judge, be somewhat under an average.
—Glasgow Chronicle.
During the past week the weather has been most favour-
able for prosecuting the important labours of the season, and
great quantities of barley, oats, and %%heat, have been cut down
,n excellent condition. The nights and mornings have in
general been cold, and on Sunday night so intense was the
frost, that in some exposed situations the shaws of the potatoes
have been completely blackened. The crops are, however,
looking well, and, notwithstanding the late heavy rains, have
sustained less injury than might have been expected. If the
weather continue favourable, the whole, ere long, will be safely
deposited in the barn-yards.—Kelso Chronicle.
The weather has undergone a favourable change since our
last. During the week, with the exception of Wednesday
and Thursday, which were.hazy, with occasioaal showers, wts
have had a good deal of sunshine. The wind is now S. W..
—Aberdeen Herald.

We have had beautiful weather for the last two days, and
the labour of the reaper has now commenced in earnest.
There is every prospect of a plentiful harvest.—Glasgow
Herald.

On the farm of Mr. Alexander Lawson, Old Mills, near
Elgin, there is a field of Chevalier prolific ten rowed wheat,
some of the heads containing no fewer than so grains.
IRELAND.—By the Mail of Mondry we learn that there has
been no change in the weather since Friday, and that the
reports received in tb city horn the country continued
favourable.

The Gazette of last night contains an Order in
Council authorising the marriage of negroes in the \Veit
Ind Colonies, by Dissenting Ministers, and in Dissenting or
other places of worship.

Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the Reel
Lion, Clarges-street, Piccadilly, touching the death of James
Turner, aged about 60. It appeared from the evidence of
James Batchelor that the deceased was much addicted to
drinking, arid latterly bad obtained a living by taking care of
a stable in Lambeth-mews, Clarges-street. On Friday night
lust he got very much intoxicated and lay in bed all day on
Saturday, but was about on Sunday as usual, and witness be-
lieved he west to bed sober that night. Yesterday, however,
in going into the stable to look for him, he found him sus-
pended by a halter frcm a book in the hay-loft, and quit©
dead. Verdict—" Temporary in< anity."

prove favourable, the stock, we understand, will be considerably
augmented, as from 20,000 to 25,000 quarters of wheat are
daily expected. Of barley there is upward.; r.f 7,300 quarters,
acd of oats above 36,700 quarters. In barley and oats there
