A week of brilliant weather has at length re-
joiced the hearts of the farmers, and enabled them to
secure as fine a crop of wheat as their most lavish
hopes could have expected. A vast breadth of ground
has been cleared of its burthen, and already ploughed up
for succeeding husbandry. The damage occasioned by
the unsettled and bad weather, experienced at the be-
ginning of the harvest, though unquestionably consider-
able in some districts, is not of great extent throughout
the country ; and if we have a few more bright days,
will occasion a very slightly disadvantageous character
on the samples of wheat in general.—Bath Chronicle.
TORY QUARRELS.-A grave difficulty has
arisen to embarrass the Administration of Sir Robert
Peel. Three " Ministerial morning prints" have been run-
ning a race for the post of first earwig of the Treasury;
and the Herald has broken out upon the Times, for dar-
ing to brush past her. It seems that the Times, precisely
at twelve o'clock at noon, published a " third edition,"
co ►taining a very full, true, and particular account of the
New Administration, all signed, sanctioned, and gua-
ranteed by itself ; and the modest Herald, scandalised at
the audacity, asks how the deuce it could do it, when
Sir Robert Peel only left the Royal presence at " two
o'clock, P.M." (to a hair), and could not reach PrintinT-
house-square till some convenient period thereafter. We
once heard a flying stationer bawling out the " last
dying speech and execution" of a poor fellow
who was at the very moment warm in his shoes ;
but the Times surpasses him in hideous enor-
mity. If we were admitted to the confidence of him
whom one of the speakers in the recent debate
termed " the Right Honourable Member the Baronet
for Tamworth," we would try to get him out of his diffi-
culty. We would divide the " leadership" between the
Post and the Herald; and let the Times go hang. It is
able enough and impudent enough to take a lead for it-
self ; and Sir Robert owes it a kick or two—"
cus" to wit. At the same time, and apart from all spiteful
considerations, the very idea of the Times becoming a
mere " Ministerial morning print" is quite horrifying to
us. To change the gallant " Bogle" hunter into a mere
lickspittle ; to reduce the " great bear" of the opposition
into a common Treasury hack, is an absolute horror.
What ! no more cakes and ale ? No more screeching
about the navy ? No more groans about our foreign re-
lations? No more chewing of opium? And, worse than
all, no more atrocious Poor-law ? Caliban serves a new
master, and must be a new man. And yet the Times,

if it have any despondings for the futuie, should take
up the prayer of .the poor fellow who believed in
transmigration, and who besought all the gods and
goddesses, that, whatever they might do, they would
not turn him into a braying donkey. After all, we think
the Heral. is right, and that the Times is not yet regu-
larly acknowledged as a pure and unmitigated Treasury
messenger. It cannot give up its habit of reading Sir
Robert a lecture. Only yesterday it tells him to mind
his weather eye, or it is all up with him. Now, this
won't do for a reasury hack. If it does mean to pub-
lish third editions at twelve o'clock precisely, it must
learn, like a good dog, not to bark at those who are in,
but at those who are out. We are perfectly disinterested,
and, in the pure spirit of good-will, proceed to advise
our all but fallen Contemporary. Let it abandon the official
duties of Downing-street to its morning rivals, who are
both dying with eagerness to get it shelved. Let it give
up the chopping of Treasury logic to the Post, and the re-
tailing of twaddle to the Herald,—and in its old effec-
tive brickbat and bludgeon spirit," set to work to de-
molish the " lath-and-plaster Cabinet." In that case we
—even we—will be content to play second fiddle ; and
who knows but, ere long, another announcement may
appear in its Columns—" The Queen has done it all !"

DUNDEE TRADE.—We regret exceedingly to
have occasion to observe that here almost every branch
of trade is at present labouring under great depression.
Unless some improvement takes place, it is fearful to
think of the distress that must be felt, as winter ap-
proaches, by the working classes of the community, more
especially as the price of bread and other necessaries of
life seems to be increasing, as the means of paying for

without alteration, either in demand or prices. Yarns
and linens of all sorts are of rather dull sale, and may
be noted a shade lower. The proposed imposition of a
duty of 20 per cent. on all linens imported into America
has already had some effect on prices here.—Courier.

It's yours, I expect, but I shan't hurt it."
Well, be sure you put it back where you got it, for I
cleaned my toe-nails with it yesterday, and I want to
clean theca agin."
