TIIE CROPS AND THE WEATHER.—During
the last fortnight, the Yorkshire Welds have on the whole been
favoured with a number of splendid days of fine and bristling
breezes, weather highly favourable for bringing forward the
crops. An extensive farmer who has just come across the
country, reports the crops upon the Wolds to be very
promising. The wheat crops, though small in the ear, appear
very heavy and good. Tile oats are said to be excessively
heavy. Several fields of wheat between Beverley and Drif-
field were cut last week, and in the c( urse of ano•hf r week,
should fine weather continue, much mote will bend beneath the
scythe. The quantity of oats sown is very considerable, but
the breath of barley is very slight,—Krk Couraxt.

ANTI-CORN-LAW CONFERENCE.
MANCHESTER, AUGUST 20.
The members of the Conference assembled this morn-
ing at ten o'clock. The business had been got through
on the previous evening, but it was thought advisable to
prolong the sitting another day, in order to afford se-
veral Rev. Gentlemen, who had been unavoidably put
aside at the previou; sittings, an opportunity of ex-
p..esqing their sentiments on the all-important question
of the Corn-laws. The interest manifested by the public,
in its proceedings, was in no degree abated, and the
great hall wa crowded.

The Rev. Tiroaus SPENCE, of Hinton,- near Bath,
took the Chair. •
A great number of statements were then laid before
the meeting, beariug upon the Corn-kW question, by
ministers from Ireland, Wales, and Scotland, and se-
veral counties of England. The manufacturing, the
agricultural, and the mining districts, - were all re-
presented. The inhabitants of those sever lo-
calities had hailed the announcement of the
Conference of Ministers in Manchester with joy, mid
had most cheerfully contributed, and that, in several
instances, most liberally, to supply the means to defray
the expenses of their journey. The statements made by
these gentlemen' as to the effect of the corn-laws in the
various localities in which they resided strongly ex-
emplified the evils resulting from class legislation and
our present system of restrictive policy, and when arranged
and condensed into one focus, they will tell powerfully
upon the public mind. Lord Ducie, Mr. Gisbornc, the
late Member for Carlow, and other visitors of influence
were on the platform. The latter addressed the as.:embly
at the special request of the whole body. The Hon.
Gentleman said- that, although he was a farmer, the
Corn-laws were no protection to .him, while, at the
same time, they were the cause of an unascertainable
amount of mischief to almost every class of the commu-
nity. The -following resolution was proposed by the
Rev. Walter Scott, profVssor of Airedale College, to the
following effect
" That, without pretending. to exercise any authority
which its temporary constitution does not give, or pre-
suming to prescribe any course to be - pursued by the
members of it, after its conclusion, this Conference would
respectfully suggest that 'considerable efficiency may be
given to its purposes and resolutions by such publications
of its proceedings as they may deem suitable in their se-
veral-localities, by availing themselves of the instrnmen-
tality of the press to circulate iuformation on the general
subject, and by congregational or local petitions to both
Houses of Parliament."
Thanks were Voted to the inhabitants of Manchester
for their kindness and hospitality in entertaining the
members of the Conference during its sitting.
The SECRETARY intimated that a deputation of the
Anti-Corn-law League would wait upon them in the
evening, and that George Thompson, Esq., would then
deliver a valedictory address.
The morning sitting then terminated.
