TOWER HAMLETS

Yesterday bad been appointed for the commencement of the
revision of the lists fur the borough, by Messrs. Falconer and
Keen, at the Golder; Eagle, Mile-end-road, and from the
singular and unexplained absence of the latter, at White
Conduit-house, on Monday last, a good deal of anxiety was
felt, as it was understood no tidings bad been heard of Mr.
Keen up to Wednesday morning, and as it was said be had
left home without any provision for a journey.
At ten o'clock Mr. FALCONER arrived, and should not be
authoriied in going through the lists then. He had been in-
formed last night that Mr. Keen had sent in his resignation, as
one of the Revising Barristers, to the Chief Justice of the
Queen's Bench, through severe illness. Mr. Keen and him-
self had been appointed to revise the lists for Finsbury- and the
Tower Hamlets, and notices, in their joint names, had been
issued. The revision for Finsbury was to have taken place on
Monday lasf, but 'Mr. Keen was not then present, and he
postponed it, ha7ing no account whatever of the cause of Mr.
Keen's absence unti: last night, when he understood he had
resigned. He immediately communicated with Lord Denman,
and that Noble and Learned Lord took the necessary steps to
complete the revision. ' Until he had authority to act by him-
self, or conjointly with another Barristen he could not issue
fresh notices, which were now necessary. Tuesday would be
the most convenient to him. Wednesday vas .ultimately fixed
on ; and Mr. Falconer would send the necessary Oetices if the
parish officers isould take care they should be immediately
posted on the Church-doors.
Mr. Back assured the Learned Gentleman that should be
done, and said the ahole borough was indebted to him for the
manner ho had acted.

HE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

SOMERSETSIIIRE.—During the middle of last month a good
deal of wheat was put together in a damp condition, and that
which has not been actually injured will come out of condi-
tion to the market. On the whole the crop of wheat does not
turn out so deficient as was anticipated; but, as far as I have
been able to ascertain, the quality is not equal to last year.
WEST -CUMBERLAND, SEPT. 12.—Though the harvest has
not generally commenced in this county, numbers have begun
to cut their grain, and in another week the reapers will be
busy everywhere. Though we are now in the middle of Sep-
tember, the hay harvest, in many places, is not yet finished,
and, in a general way, the harvest has only partially com-
menced. On Sunday last, the day being remarkably fine, hay-
making was going on briskly in many places, and a great
quantity put into ricks on that day was safely housed, in good
condition, on the day folio:sing.
DORSET. —The greater part of the wheat is secured, and
where time vas given, in good condition. The crop is par-
tial, as in all exposed situations and thin land it has never re-
covered the severe ►vinter, and could it have been foreseen
how the summer haft turned out, much more might have been
ploughed up and resowo with spring grain to much advan-
tage. In favoured and well cultivated spots the crop is
quite an average one, but A. by far the greater portion of
this county is of the former description, the general average
will come shout. _ _ _

•.. 61TAMORGANSIIIRE.—We arc now enabled to speak with
some degree of certainty of the present year's clop ; the
wheat proves to be thficient nearly to the extent of about one
third ; that portion on good strong soils, aL4 well.sheltered,
is a full average crop. The remaining two-thirds, which in-
clude all light clover.leys, although in tha best condition, and
all inferior land, and in exposed situations, the crop is little
more than half an average, taking the bulk of theVairaw„ and
the deficiency of the ear into account. Batley and oats
are a full average, in most cases above an average, and the
quality is good. _

CIIESLDiE AND LANCASHIRS. --It is now pretty generally
confessed the corn crop, both in Cheshire and Lancashire,
within a reasonable distance of Warrington, arc much better
than the farmers had, some few months ago, reason to expect.
'lr. Jackson, of Newton Park, Las just cut as fine a field of
oats as was ever grown in the county of Lancashire. The
wheat crop will be rather under the average, as it is thin in
some districts.

LiscoLNstitnE.t—The crops of wheat are considered to be
ratter di.ficient in quantity, but the fine quality, in many in-
stances, fully makes up for the supposed deficiency. Of bar-
ley and oats there will be a fair average crop, and the quality
excellent.

_______
IRELAND.—The accounts of the harvest from the North are
most favourable. A vast quantity of corn was cut last week
in the county Down, and the farmers speak in high terms of
the quality of the crops. From the &mill, too, we learn that
the weather more resembles the burning- heat of July, than
the usually cool feel of the middle of autonu. The Dublin
Mail says " some heavy rain fell here this morni,g—but frcm
the struggling appearance of the clouds, there is every reason
to hope that it is not likely to be of long duration."
i.7"-CCTLAND.-- For the last ten days the reather, we rejoice
to say, has been exceedingly propitious. For one afternoon
only during that time have we had the slightest rain, and for
the rest it has been all that the farmer could desire—dry,
sunny, and cheerful. On Saturday and Sunday indeed, the
sun was considerably stronger than it was even in the months
of June and July. Throughout the three Lothians the fields,
we are informed, present a very beautiful appearance. The
crops arc ripening fast, and in many places shearing is in ge-
neral operation.—Scotsman.
As far as present appearances betoken, we could not wish
for more propitious weather for cutting down the crops.--
Scottish Pilot.
