Certain parties, who occupy premises on the east aivie„o/

legally justified in opening windows which look ineueii.

tion, and caused to be nailed to these poles, at a JO
inches from twelve of the windows of the Exchange
black boards, to the almost total exclusion of light fal
some of the chambers of this very compact and grace ito
structure. As in such matters the law may exhibit 4,
proverbial uncertainty and tardiness, the City arc
upon being instructed to remedy the evil, placed a car
upon with a saw in his hand, at every window, an, tpo
an instant, at the whistle of Mr. Bunning, each °I fell
twelve carpenters commenced operations, and down. „eel
the twelve boards, letting in the direct light of hell'ori
upon the building, and exciting great merriment $l
surprise. We understand that an action is a,OOO

LLANRWST.—The harvest operations here 0 my
full vigour, most of the wheat and also a deal of torniji,
having been secured. The crops, of all sorts of ge'vof
were never known to be better iu the Vale of Cony of
and its environs than they are this season; Plenibist
straw and heavy in the ear. We also learn from
vast adjoining upland region of Penmachno, YsPie of
Pentreeoelas, and Cerrigydruidion, that their crops s,
barley and oats (no wheat sown), end also their patde,
are grand crops, and hid fair to be early to the

they being already in a state of forwardness. td"
