COMMENCEMENT OF HARVEST,

Jut'' 3.—Mr. Wheeler, of Westhothly,,com-
menced his wheat harvest on Saturday last—A sample of the
wheat has been in Lewes.- - _ • • -

Mr. Smith, of Upton, near Southwell, in this county, cut,a
field of oats on Tuesday. Last year, the same ground produ-
ced oats, and as there was a good deal shaken when he got in
.the corn, the land was suffered to remain untilled, and this sea-
son unassisted nature has produced a fine clop.--(Nottingham
Rei)iero.)
On Wednesday last, a fine sample of neiv barley was shewn
in Newark market, grown at Poston, near Grantham. It partly
shook last autum in the ear, and after saving what they could,
the ground remained untilled ; it now produced about four
quarters per acre.,.--(Prid.)
At field of barley, belonging to Mr. Ramsley, of Maidstone,
has been cut and harvested, and a very fine sample of it was
offered fur sale in Maidstone 'market, op Thursday last.—
(Kentish Courier.)

A Liverpool Paper of Tuesday states that
some of the labourers who arrived there, last
week, from Ireland, were in such a deplorable
state of diseae that they were obliged, on land-
ing, to be instantly removed to the Fever Hospital.
The conduct of the Churchwardens of Mary-
lebone' Parish, in behalf of the suffering Irish
Poor, does them much credit, and is worthy of
general imitation. They acted in the most
prompt and judicious manner. Printed notices
were distributed by them early on Monday
morning, to inform the inhabitants that they
would wait upon them, attended by a Parish
Beadle, to prevent fraud, on Tuesday and Wed-
nesday; and we are happy to hear, that their
collection up to last night amounts to nearly 15001.

INDIA.—It appears by letters just received
from Madras, dated the 16th of January last,
that, considerable reductions were taking place
in the Company's forces. The extra battalions
had been drafted to such battalions as the men
selected, and discharges bad been granted to
such of them as required them, and there had
been an actual reduction of 12,000 privates since
the Ist of April last. Colonel ADAMS', it was
expected, would arrive at Nagpore about the
12th of January last to relieve the Madras troops.
The cantonment was to be removed from the im-
mediate vicinity of the city to a distance of ten
or twelve miles, which it was apprehended would,
cause considerable loss to the Officers of the
Army in the disposal of their property at the old
cantonment.. The regiment of Cavalry and troop
of Horse Artillery from Nagpore was to be sta-
tioned at Ilydrabad, and the Madras Euro-
pean Regiment was on its march to Masu-
lipatam. The Russell Cavalry, commanded
by Colonel JONES, was reduced on the Ist
of January last, but the Officers, it was ex-
pected,- would be provided for in other regi-
Jnents belonging to his Highness the Nizam.—
Every thing was quite quiet in the Madras Pre-
sidency, as well as indeed throughout the other
Presidencies. The only subject of interest that
engaged the public attention was the expected
decision of the claims to the prize captured by
the army of the Deccan during the late war,
which was anxiously looked for by every arrival
from Europe. The season had been extremely
favourable, though there had been little rain.—
The cholera mortals had nearly disappeared, and
only a few striking cases occasionally occurred.
The bulwark for the protection of the Black
Town, and the esplanade lying between it and
the Fort, was finished, and had succeeded in re-
moving the alarming apprehensions entertained
from the encroachments made by the sea. This
important work was erected under the super-
_
intendance of that able and scientific engineer,
DE lIAviLLAND, upon whose professional abili-
ties it reflects the highest credit.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Tuesday. An express had arrived at Paris from
Madrid with Accounts of the 26th ofiJune, an-
nouncing the intended arrival of the KING and
the Royal Family in the Spanish capital on the
27th, and that every preparation had been made
for their reception. The Ultra Journals of
France are still tilled with exaggerated accounts
of the disturbed state of Catalonia and other
parts of Spain, and of s.uccesses obtained by the
insurgents; but, with the exception of Catalonia
and a few points on the northern frontier, we
have reason to believe that all the other Pro-
vinces are perfectly quiet, and also that in those
disaffected districts, by means of the volunteer
associations, which are actively organizing, aided
by the regular troops and militia, which are ra-
pidly marching on Catalonia and towards the
frontiers, the reported success of the insurgents
will most probably be but short-lived, and the
whole country be soon restored to tranquillity.
In the Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, the
discussion on the new Tariff was resumed, and
after a long debate, and the rejection of several
amendments, the duties on the importation of
rams, sheep, pigs, &c. and those on woollens,
as proposed by the Government, were adopted,

The. Chamber then proceeded to the article on
iron. M. de CAYItOL spoke in detail on the
iron manufacture of France, and maintained the ne-
cessity of affording encouragement to this branch of
her industry. M. TERNAux followed, and entered
into a variety of arguments expressive of his
doubts, as to the utility of custom duties, and
supporting the great•principle of a free trade. ,In
a dissertation on the general interests of Mer-
_
chants, he descanted on the monopoly of commerce
enjoyed by England, and declared that the inte-
rest of our colossal debt could be paid by our
steam engines alone : machinery wrought by them
obtained over manual labour a saving of 3,000,000
of francs a day. By these engines England had
given to her manufacture of iron a singular per-
French manufactures of the same ar-

section.

title would, in his opinion,.never thrive, till iron
and fuel could be procured at the cheapest rater
possible: From this he drew the inference that,
to prevent the ruin of this branch .of industry,.
the tariff on articles so preciotO should be re-
duced. Ile concluded by- moving. the total sup-
pression of the tax upon cast iron. The dis-
cussion
was adjourned to the folloWing day, the
Chamber notbeing in sufficient number to decide
the queStion.—ln a preceding column we have
given several extracts.
