THE HARVEST.

(LATEST saws. )

The damage done to the crops tLis week, we are afraid, has
ben very serious. Fram Monday night till early in the morn-
ing of yesterday, the rain fell in torrents, and almost without
intermission. Yesterday, though dull and heavy, was dry ;
and we woul I fain hope that a favourable tack of ws ether is
before us. The Water of Leith is greatly swollen, in conse-
quence of the late rains; and numerous fields in the neigh-
bourhood of the city have been very muc'a floaded —Scotsman.
The weather has assumed a most alarming aspect. Harvest
has, nevertheless, commenced briskly; and if favoured by a
week so dry as this day happens to be, the half at least of the
crops in the dale laud will have yielded to the sickle. —Ayr-
shire Examiner.
Since Monday night last we have experienced a continuance
A unfropitious and boisterous weather, which is calculated to
excite the worst apprehensions for the treasures of the field.
About six o'clock of that evening the rain commenced, and
las with but slight cessations continued to descend in copious
supplies. Yesterday the Tweed by its colour began to show
Imptoms of similar weather being experienced in the West,
abl to-day it is rolling quite a flood. So high was it this
morning (Saturday), that it entered several houses in Tweed-
mouth.—Berwick Advertiser.
On Monday last, a few reapers appeared at the Cross for
the first time this season, and as there were several farmers in
town for a few, they were all engaged at from Is. 6J. to
Is. Bd. a day. Since that day until yesterday morning, the
rain has been almost continued, and a complete stop was
jut to harvest operations. Yesterday morning (Friday) the
weather again set in fair, and a number of reapers were hired at
wages from Is. 10.1. to 2s. M. B:own, farmer, Alton, who
engaged thirty, has thrce large fields ready fur the sickle,
which would have been cut this week had the weather been
favourable. We learn from a farmer in the neighbourhood,
well acquainted with the state of the crops in this district, that
if the weather continue favourable, harvest will be quite
general in about eight days hence. Reapers will probably be
In daily demand from and after Monday next.—Paisley Adver.
We regret to state that the weather since Sunday has been
such as completely to retard the operation of cutting down the
crops. During the whole of Wednesday and yesterday the
rain fell incessantly, and at times in such heavy shower; that
both the Tweed and Teviot rose to a considerable height.
Had the weather continued favourable the harvest would have
been general in this neighbourhood, end much grain would
haze la...en brought under tha sickle. We understand that in
many places fine fields of wheat and oats, which are remarkably
heavy in the ear, arc so much pressed down that they appear
as if a roller had passed over them. —iCe/so Chronicle.
We perceive from newspipers and letters, that the heavy
rains of Tuesday and Wedneslay last have been very general
aver the country, and, we regret to learn, that in many places
their effects will be severoly felt. Much grain has been laid
down in an unripe state, and will not now ripen, so that in ad-
. lition to defective crops, we shall also have their quality much
deteriorated. In various quaff tors, too, the same heavy rains
have proved somewhat, though not so deeply, injurious.—
Scots Times

The weather, we aro extremely sorry to say, is as unsea-
sonable as it could well be. Monday was a floe dry day until
the afternoon, when rain commenced, which has continued,
nearly without intermission, during Tuesday, Wednesday, and
'o-day, without, we regret to add, the slightest appearance cf
t fayourp.hde change.—Greenock Advertiser,

The weather on Tuesday, and the whole of yesterday, was
is inauspiciou4 for the crops as it could p ssibly be, the rain
having fallen heavily, and almost without intermission, accom-
panied with a cold wind from the eastward. In this neigh-
bourhood harvest operations are completely suspended in con-
sequence of the rains. —Giusgoto Chronicle.
Wednesday and Thursday, particularly the latter, were un-
propitious days. From &out one o'clock on Friday morning
until near seven, it continued incessantly raining in Dublin
and its vicinity, and the after part of the day continued cold
and ungenial. The barometer, however, was slowly but
steadily on the advance. The accounts from the country, re-
ceived yesterday (Friday) and this morning, are however, fa-
vourable, and, upon the whole, we should think no serious in-
jury has yet been done ; while, on the other hand, harvesting
proceeds with accelerated activity.—Dublin Evening Post.
Much rain has fallen since our last, and still the weather
looks rather threateping ; but, nevertheless, we see no
ground for changing our views as to the result of the har-
vest. The rain of the last two days can have done no ma-
terial injury; and a week or two of fine weather would, we
think, be nearly sufficient to secnre the ecru still on the
ground. Our accounts from the country continue to bc ge-
nerally favourable.— lVaterford Chronicle.
The weather, which had been up to Tuesday, generally
speak'ng, propitious for harvest operations, has, since then,
undergone a change adverse to the, intet'eats of the f"rrner.
The rain descending in torrents on Tuesday nig;it. Yester-

oats very fine.
The harvest in and around Dartmouth and the River Dart

Times,

The wheat harvest continued to progress very rapidly on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday ; on the latter day the hand
of the barometer moved gradually to " Change," and in the
eventinc, it pointed to Rain ;" dus unfavourable sign, with a
slight evening
in the morning, quickened the labours of the
harvest folks. On Wednesday night the rain fell in torrents,
and several heavy showers on Thursday morning, completely
stopped the hauling; however, a very large breadth of wheat,
had in this neighbourhood been safely gathered in excellent
condition by the close of Wednesday. Yesterday ( Friday) the
morning opened fine, but there were intermittent showers
so that the harvest has been completely
checked. We hope that the weather will immedia.ely be
during the
favourable, otherwise the consequence will be very serious to
the country at large.
The harvest has partially commenced in this neighbourhood,
and a few patches of barley have yielded to the sickle. The
lust week of fine weather Las produced a wonderful change in
the appearance of the crops; if such weather continue, we
may expect the harvest to be general in a very short time.
The crops are not heavy, and taken in the aggregate, may be
considered below the average of former years.—Tyne Mer-
cury,

this week the weather has beets less favourable, but we
trust the rain has not been such as to injure the comparatively
small quantity yet to be saved. The price of corn is dropping

MADRID, SEPT. I.—The present Ministerial crisis is not
linsly to evaporate in smoke, like as many of its predecessors,

reluctant retirement, were last night, for tie last time, nen-

remsins now to be s,eir eh.it Count Walla will do after his Lite
deelaestion, that he would riot remelt, an- hour in &Lee after
any of his colleagues eere sacrificed to the exigencies of Es-
partero. The breading up of the whole Toren! Ofalia CAA-
het is considered perfectly settled and unavoidable, as none of
fractions could stand by themselves rafter the support font
the main seen is withdrawn, a hich is already the ease, the
leading mei of the Moderato party having deelered themselves
against the President of the Council.
On the &aerie, where the e was but one cash transaction at
yesterd y's price, 184, it was stunned that the aforesaid
two
Ministers, Mese•s. Mon and Cast o, were out of o:Ece.
I am told that the Queen stated last night to Count Ofalia
that the whole Cabinet must be changed. I cannot vouch for
the truth of this. Count Ofalia is not likely to have repeated
it to others had the Queen actually said so.
* The Gazette of this day contains a despatch from Count
Luchana, transmitting a communication from General Don
Laureano Sanz, from Burgos, that in the morning of the 19th
the united bands of Vidaldo and Balmaseds. 350 men of both
armies in number, attacked the town of Roa, when, after St de!ermined resistance of the National Guard and garrison, the

The same Major-General Sans writes on the 27th, from

At Murcia on the 28th, letters had been received from
Alicante of the preceding day's date, stating that Cabrera

horses and whatever he could find. The band of the Nationale
played at the gate of San Vicente. The rebels marched by
r.;ataroja to Albar, and joined another column, that of Arnan ;
a battalion of Nationals kept good watch at the gate, and a
detachment wee rent to far as the vicinity of Sills, at 3 A. si.„
to reconnoitre. Some mounted Nationals reconaoitred tovvarde
GP•10, where the enemy was said to be, and returned safely
fro.n Masanasa.
On the 27th the rebels carried off many persons, mostly
wo.nen and children. At 5 P.M. they were encamped near
the high read, and robbed all the passengers:. They were
metalled from Cuilera, and revenged themselves by destroying
the flood-gatf s.
Valdes and Desceillar, with their troops, were at Chive, and,
intended to attack the enemy.
On the 24th the rebels essassinated Captain Don Carlos
Deliete to Albalate.

the rebels had demanded 1,500 rations. The brigade of Des-
czillar sent a detachment on the 26. h to Tura, and Godellata
to prevent this robbery. Valdes had 1,800 infantry and 220
cavalry at Chive, and Merino was at Chelva. The fortification
of the former is far advanced, and there is no fear of the
enemy there, they having plenty of provisions and ammunition. A caravey was between Liria and Villmarchante. The bulk
of the rekels slept on the 26th at Algemesi. Reinforcements
have been sent from Valencia to Cullera, which defended itself
so well. The villages of the Ribera are ruined ; the rebels
prefer hot ses and money.
Letters from Vinaroz describe the state of Morella on the
20th and 21st as follows t-100 houses have been set on fire ;
three have been campletely destroyed, and all the buildings
of the town suffered more or less. There are four breaches
in the wall, the principal one, near San Miguel, is about tan
varas in extent. The inhabitants repaired the breaches !with
bags of wool and cushions. They do not expect our troops
again at present, but lay in a good stock of lime, no doubt to
repair the fortification..
The loss of the rebels is calculated at 400 persona, as the
Women took a very active part in the defence, carrying their
