CLAW FL9UR.-We are happy t(i learn, from re=
spectable authority, that the adulterated 'FlOirr
which' was reported to have been seized a short
time ago at; a baker's in Flushing, near -Falmouth,
was only a part of a quantity imposed on hini :as
good flour by one of toe miscreants of thN:ti-iwn,
against 'whom a (-I've Bill was found fw the:Grand
Jury at the last Assizes. The baker. who Ve -un-
derstand is a respectable mint, hav:ng exam iniml the
flout• on the first ruiriour of the fraud and discover-
ed ,it to be adulterated, went 'to the Assize's for
the purpose of obtaining legal, advice As to the
steps he ought to pui-sue in 'the affair, when he
was directed destroy the flour immediately, and
the putting this .advice into exectition by throv-
ing it over` the quay, originated, the
.report that
the abominable practice was slift going on .---(Rciyal

A practical Norfolk 'farmer Maintain's,. that the
mildew in wheat is caused by a gfulitious dew
falling on the ear in the early-stage of its growth,
which closes up the huSk, acid in consequence
causes a contraction in the grain. The mme
es-
poused to the circulation:of air the field is, the less
the ear will be injured ; as the •friction.oecasithied
by thesmallest breeze of.wind removes the danger.
A Corkspoirdent obserVes, that the Farmers
should be very busy, and improve thisfoourable
weather, as it-is "probable that: there will soon be
a great 'deal of rain and bad weather, as it has
been so long dry, and the autumnal equinox is
