THE lIARVEST.

IRELAND.--The afail, an authority however questionable
when speaking of the-state of the country, may safely enough
be trusted in its reports of the weather, says that on Friday
afternoon a change fur the better took place, which has con-
tinued up to the time of its last publication ( Monday). " It is
now the very kind of *Other best calculated to cheer the hopes
of the farmer—bright, hot sunshine, accompanied by a smart,
drying breeze."
We regret to say that the weather has undergone an limaa-
'curable change, which, should it continue, will retard the pro-
gress of the harvest. Tuesday 'evening and night ethe rain
came down in torrents, accompaniedby vivid flashes of light-
ning' and loud peals of thunder. Yesterdiy there were
'showers, which during their continuance were very heavy,
. We have been informed by experienced agriculturists that
the wheat crop has been materially injured—but that the ex-
tent of detrimentit has suffered can not be well ascertained
until the thrashing shall have been over. In the counties of
Waterford, Kilkenny, and Tipperary, this complaint is very
general.— Waterford Chronicle of Thursday.
SCOTLAND.—The accounts of the weather in this part of
the kingdom arc rather unfavourable. The present state cf
the. weather is probably better. The Glasg-w Herald of
Monday says We have had two very fine days, Saturday
and yesterday. If the weather continues so,. the harvest will
soon he general in this quarter."
The Glasgow! Chronicle, speaking of the Carse of Gowrie,
says On Friday the wind shifted to the east, and aceom.
panied with a failing mercury in the barometer and a drizzling
rain, which still continues. Ilarvest operations are in the mean
Lime suspended. The state of the weather during this and the
followin,, week will affect the sample."
LiNCOLN.—Tbe harvest in the neighbourhood of this city
has been going on for some time with great briskness ; much
corn has already been carried. The crops of wheat are con-
sidered to be rather deficient in quantity, but the fine quality
In- many instances fully makes up for the supposed deficiency.
Of barley and oats there will be a fair average crop, and the
qualify excellent. Wet weather having set in at the latter
end of last week caused working in the fields to be suspended.
TUraipa, previous to the late rains, were somewhat at a stand,
caused by the grubs, but since, these destructive insects have
in a great degree disapptered, which has caused the turnip
crops to appear in a very healthy condition, and there is every
probability of the farmers being satisfied. with the promised
quantity and quality.
'Stich another week as the last will effectually set the wheat
harvest free fr;ini all danger. Otie-half of the crop, it is cal-
culated,: is safely housed, and a week or ten days more of the
late brilliant weather will do the same for the most backward
Oita of the kingdom. A taking' rain seemed to begin on
Thursday, which continued throughout Friday, but fine cool
weather has since prevailed.—Lincoln Gazette of Tuesday.

pcateid the character of Count Vallardi, in the Devil's Opera,
with increased success. We are happy to learn that he is
engaged at Drury-lane for the ensuing season.
. JEALOUSY OF DEsPOTS.—We perceive that' the
cause of the delay of our letters has been the kind attentions
of the Austrian police, our letters of the Ist having been torn
open and examined, without the gentlemen of the Austrian
post talent, even the trouble to put a .wafer in them. The
French Cost-office stamp attests this, bearing /care arrives
decaeheic;e. After having sent a gentleman,'at considerable ex-
pense to Milan, to furnish us with an account of the Em-
peror's coronation,• a ceremony that must' derive its prin-
cipal eclat from publicity, we expected, at least, to be as fairly
treated as our Contemporaries by the Imperial Post-office—we.
were wrong, it seems, and must pay the penalty, for having a
liberal character, of seeing cur Tory Contemporaries more fa-
voured in the Austrian dominions than ourselves. We wish,
too, that the Austrian employes were the only ones we had to
complain -cf.—Editor of the .1-forning Chronicle. [We can
add to this, that so extremely solicitous is Prince Ernest to know
what his subjects a rite about, that be has established a
most comprehensive system of examining all letters which
go into or through the Hanoverian post. It is said his
servants spare no despatches, and respect no seal that
comes under their hands. So far is the system carried,
that, to escape its controul, none of the communications
conveyed to our embassy are ever suffered, we are informed, to
reach the hands of Prince Ernest's employes. Mr. Bligh, we
have heard always sends his own vrvant, or hi; own courier. to
Ilamburgh, to trees the steam-host and take charge of his
letters. No person who can avoid it trusts the Hanoverian
post-alive. It was not so before the accession of Prince
Ernest.]
RAPID COMMUNICATION WiTII BRUSSELS.—
To those of our readers who are interested in foreign travel
at this season of the year, we invite attention to the advertise-
ment of the General Steam Navigation Company, showing
the facility and rapidity of commueication with Brussels,
through Ostend, by their vessels, since the completion of the
railway from that city to Ostend. The whole journey from
London to Mussels may be accomplished in twenty hours;
and, by the careful management and excellent occommodatiom
of the steam-boats, and the facilities of the railroads, a visit to
the Belgian Capital-and the south of Holland and the Rhine,
s rendered as safe as it is rapid.
Letters. received this morning from Ostend,- by the
General Steam Navigation Company's vessel Earl 0)
Liverpool, state that the steam-ship Rainbow, Whose superior
qualities on hat- --trials on the raver have cacited general
observation, and which started on Sunday on her first voysge
for Antwerp, had arrived at Flushing three hears before sm-
other steam-vessel, considered fest, which left London at the
same time. At Flushing the Rainbow was compelled to s'op
a considerable time for a pilot ; notwithstanding which delay,
she arrived at Antwerp one hour and a half before the other
steam-ship.
On Monday avening, about half-past eight o'clock,
es the Poole mail was near the Halfway Miss.:, Knightsbridge.,
the coachman anteropted to pass a cart en the wrong side, and
at the same moment the driver of the cart attempted to cross
the road to make nay for the mail, when the vehicles raL
against each other, and the horse of the cart was thrown down,
his legs beeozniog inserted between the spokes of the fere-
wheel of the trail, which, bad not the horses been instantly
seized by some passers, by, must have inevitably Ven over-
turned. Much ditlie&tv was experienced in getting the ve-
