The crops of both wheat and barley are above an aver-
- o rV,
aver-
age. During the present week some fine showers of
rain have fallen, which is greatly needed on high lands,
the grass being nearly scorched up by the long drought.
Potatoes are plentiful, and the disease is scarcely talked
of, the crops being good and of excellent flavour.
GENERAL ESPARTERO.—The Times, in speaking of
the decree by which General Espartero is reinstated in
his rank and honours, says that that eminent personage
" has been appointed to a high military command." This
is an error. General Espartero has been mere') re-
stored to the rank of Captain-General, which he held
before he left Spain, and which in the Spanish army is
equivalent to Field-Marshal in England and Marechal
in France. He is not, however, called into active
vice, although we hope he may aeon be 30.

CHEAP SCOTTISH EXCURSION TRIP..--Mr. Muir,
of Edinburgh, after having been successful in two plea-
sure excursions from Edinburgh to London 'this season,
has fixed a cheap excursion from the " Great Metro-
polis" to " Modern Athens." Besides the direct excur-
sion from the English to the Scottish metropolis, Mr.
Muir has arranged other two cheap trips, both of
which can be accomplished during the stay in Scot•
land—one to GlasKow and Ayr, " the land of Burns,'
and the other (a four days' trip) to the Western High-
lands, being the exact route followed by her Majesty
when proceeding to her " adopted Highland home," Ard-
verikie. Besides accomplishing both these routes, the
excursionists will have four free days for perambulations
not only about the environs of " Auld Reekie," but have
time to rove to Bannockburn, to the " Banks and braes
o' bonnie Doon." Ere long most of our Londoners will
be as versant with windings of the Forth and Clyde as
of the Thames.

sengers; the Princess Helens left Ramsgate for Ostend

N ARROW ESCAPE FROM D ROW:UN G.—On Wed-
nesday morning an accident occurred at St. George's-
pier, which, but for the extraordinary presence of mind
displayed by a little boy, must have terminated fatally,
as the tide was running rapidly at the time. On the
arrival of the nine o'clock boat from Woodside, Mr.
Richard Bowdler, of Kirkham, near Preston, with hie
son, a lad about seven years of age, was in the act of
stepping ashore, with the boy under his arm, when be
missed his footing, and both tell into the river between
the packet and the pier head steps. Mr. Bowdler, being
unable to swim, was clearly in very great danger of
drowning, when a rope was thrown from the shore.
which the little boy managed to lay hold of, and held
himself and his father until further assistance could be
rendered, which was done as speedily as possible, and
both were fortunately saved. The boy seemed as if
little aware of the danger he had just escaped, and(
rather amused at " papa's sound ducking." The father.,
as may be supposed, was much agitated. The latter
remnnerated the boatmen in a munificent manner, e.nd
was conveyed from the pier in a car.—Liverpool Stan-
dard.

HISSING OF SNAKES.--A correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser says, " I observe a
discussion of the question, De snakes hiss?' I throw
in my reply in the negative% at least so far as the snakes
of the northern states are ,embraced in the inquiry. I
was brought up in a part of this state famous for the
numbers, as well as varieties, of these reptiles; was from
my childhood familiar with the forms and habits of
copper-heads, black snakes of every kind, adders, garter
snakes, water snakes, &c.; ban killed scores of them,
but never heard a snake hias,7
