FERTILITY OF THE WATERS.

Throughout the season, and more particularly dur-
ing the last few weeks, most Jertile have been the
waters on the shores of ColvenC . In fact, the oldest
inhabitant recollects nothing similar, in the way of
good luck ; and repeatedly, Andr4-Davidson, single-
handed, or with one or two assistants, has been able
to fill the body of a common cart at a single haul.
Andrew's station is at the Siddick burn, within the
bounds of the farm of Mersehead ; and so late as Sa-
turday last, he sent six hundred of thumping flounders
to the Dumfries market. But there are many other
fishers from the Carse and round about, all of whom
have done unprecedentedly well of late. The flounders
caught are of the spotted kind, look as white as chalk,
and in flavour vie with the finest sole, Their weight,
too, is extraordinary, and in general averages from 1
to 4lbs. The cause of so much success is: as yet a pro-
blem ; but we trust the Colvenders will improve their
opportunities, and, by stretching a little farther out,
entrap sole and turbot as well as flewks. More than
one of the smaller farmers are getting nets prepared
against another season, and should the shoals continue
to visit Port O'Warren and_ the neighbouring coasts,
such of them as
.happen to be favourably situated will
make fully as much by ploughing the waters as the
land which skirts its shores. At present, perhaps,
the supply of fish exceeds the demand ; but for this
there is an easy and an obvious remedy. The herring
fishery on the east coast has been unusually unproduc-
tive; and if cod and ling are salted and stored, why not
flounders ? From the kindly nature of the season, the
potato;!, the poor man's bread crop, exceeds its original
proraise by many degrees ; and the Colvenders espe-
cially, will be much to blame if they do not secure,
while the time serves, a few cwt. of flounders to kitchen
their potatoes.—Duiqfries Courier..

THE HARVEST.

With the exception of here and barley, the harvest in
Ireland is at least an average one, and most of it has been
placed beyond danger. The potatoes are excellent. In
England, it is also, upon the whole—with the exception of
barley and pulse—an average crop, or very little below
one. Hops are superabundant. For the following state-
ment, we are indebted to a house of the first eminence in
the North of England :—" Lynn, Sept. 9.--Wheat is more
various in quality, than last season, and though, upon the
light soils, the crop was affected by the long drought, upon
the whole we consider it will prove a full average, as upon
the better lands it is very abundant. The weights vary
from 581bs. to 641bs. per bushel, and we hope to keep our
shipments of best runs up from 621bs. to 631bs. Rye is of
good quality, and well secured, but the yield is badly
spoken of. Barley is very deficient, and mostly of a coarse
and thin description, but it is well harvested, and, with
care in the selection, there willbe a fair portion fit for malt-
ing. Oats are also very short in quantity, except upon
good lands, but the quality is fair. Beans are not more
than half a crop, and pease are also deficient, but both
are well secured, and of good quality. Rapeseed yields
pretty well, but the cultivation of this article is now very
small."—There is a general decline of prices, and we shall
soon hear, we imagine, loud complaints from the farmers.
Indeed, we can scarcely understand how, even at the pre-
sent, they are able to remunerate themselves, or even to
pay their rents. In Ireland, they appear to be better off,
particularly the graziers, than in Scotland or England.--

MARYLEB ONE.

ROBBERY AT THE HOUSE OF SIR C. FoßßEs.—Thontas
Hughes, a servant out of place, was placed at the bar,
charged on suspicion of stealing a gold chronometer, by
Harmer ; a gold repeater. by Gartley, Aberdeen ; and a
French musical repeater, to which was attached a chain,
ring, and two seals ; together with a morocco case, con-
taining a very valuable gold snuff box, bearing the arms of
the Prince of Wales, from the house of Sir Charles Forbes„
9, Fitzroy-square.
It appeared from the evidence that on Sir Charles re-
tiring to rest about twelve o'clock the previous night he
missed the above property from a chest of drawers. Not
suspecting his servants, who had all been with him some
years, he made inquiries as to who had been admitted into
the house, and ascertained that the prisoner had-been there
all day on a visit to his butler ; he immediately obtained his
address, which he gave to a policeman, who went and took
him into custody, but could not discover any traces of
tbe loft property. He had since been informed that the
chronometer had that morning been pledged at Knights-
bridge.
William Clifton, a constable of the B division of police,
said that he was employed about ten o'clock that morning
in taking notices of the robbery round to the different
pawnbrokers, when on entering the shop of Mr. Kember
at Knightsbridge he was shown a chronomoter which, by
the description of Sir Charles's, he had no doubt was the
same, on which they had just before advanced 8/. to a man
who gave his address at Poplar.
Mr. Peterkin, watchmaker, 55, Cleveland-street, said
he had been to see the chronometer, which he was certain
was Sir Charles's, he having had it to repair.
William Pope, butler to Sir Charles, in whose service he
had been eight years, said he never lost sight of the pri-
soner, who was in the pantry all the time he was in the
neither did witness think he was the thief. On the
- discovered witness found that one of the attic

Mr. RAVLINSON said there was no evidence against the

COAL MINES.

The number of working collieries on the river Tyne
in the year 1829 was 41 : on the north side 23, and
an the south side 18 ; on the river Wear, 6 on the
north, and 12 on the south side, making 18 ; the whole
number on both rivers being 59.
The collieries on the Tyne are capable of raising
double their present quantity of coals with the same
machinery, but not with the same number of men.
Those on the Wear are capable of raising one half
more. The reason why these collieries do not work
to their full extent, is, that there is not a sufficient
market to take off the quantity of coals that could be
so raised.

Comparing the quality of the produce of the Tyne
and the Wear, a much greater proportion of superior
coal comes from the collieries on the latter river.
Within the preceding fifteen years, the number of
collieries on the Wear have increased, and collieries of
larger power have come into action during that time.
Several new collieries have also been opened on the
Tyne, whilst on the Tees there has been a consider-
able increase in the export of coals.
In some cases, the coal which is obtained from the
pit is about 90 per cent ; and according to the present
improved system of working the mines, all the coal, or
nearly all, is got out of the earth ; that which remains
behind being scarcely worth mentioning.
The amount of money capital for winning Os it is
technically called) a certain tract or field of coal, alto-
gether depends on circumstances. There ate collieries
in the north which have cost from ten to twelve thou-
sand to 150,0001. exclusive of the craft required for
the shipment of coals ; by this is meant the expense
of sinking the pits, the establishment of machinery,
and everything necessary for putting the coal on board
the craft, whether into keels or barges, or into ships.
This sum includes- railways, waggons, and machinery
of every description.—.Sunderland Herald.

THE CROSS OP' TilE ‘.,76-UTH.

Perhaps there is no circumstance which more forci-
bly reminds au European traveller, when in the sou-
thern hemisphere, that he is at an immense distance
from his native country, than the extraordinary al-
teration which he finds in the appearance of the
!leavens, as surveyed upon a starlight night. Above
him are constellations of unparalleled beauty and bril-
liancy; but they are not those he has been accustomed
to contemplate. He can no longer observe the bright
and glittering groups, which every country of the north
:lesignates by some familiar name, the stars which may
be termed their own ; they have all passed away, and
in their stead are others perhaps more bright and more
brilliant, but not those with which the eye of an Euro-
pean has been familiar, and therefore not so welcbme
to his sight. The southern celestial hemisphere is ex-
tremely dissimilar to the northern, not only in the
grouping of the stars, but in its whole character. With
us there is scarcely a portion of the firmament that is
not studded thickly with stars, but in the southern
hemisphere, there are large tracts or spaces of extreme
blackness, in which no star appears. These black,
inLlighted spaces, give a very peculiar and novel ap-
pearance
to the brilliant constellations, whose effect is
aided byte darkness. Amongst them no one is more
that called the Cross of the South,

ginia. When the Crass
erted, but it gradually rises in the firmament, until it
becomes quite erect. Two stars of extreme brilliancy
form the top and bottom of the Cross, and these hav-
ing the same right ascension, the Cross is vertical when
it passes the meridian ; so that the time of night may
always be told by noticing whether it inclines or not.
The natives of the south frequently refer to it for this
purpose, and amongst the Catholics, its holy form
renders it an object of peculiar veneration.

REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS FOR THE

COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX-(THIS DAY•)

This morning Messrs. KE d COVENTRY held their
Courts of Revision for-the County at Guildhall.
Considerable delay was, and will be, occasioned in con:et; '
(pence of the overseers of the several parishes neglectin
make their returns to the High Constable before the 29th 0
August, that he might have them ready at once to deliver to
the Revising Barristers. Many of the lists had not been re-
ceived at all.
Mr. COVENTRY remarked that such was the case the firs:
year after the passing of the Act, and then there might be sal.
excuse for it, but this being the third year, the parochial au-
thorities thorities ought to have been better acquainted with their dew!
than they appeared to be. On the first occasion, indeed, there Ift_a ue
some difficulty in prevailing upon the High Constabl refusingo
the lists after the given time. If he persisted in _
them at that late period, which perhaps he might, the voteir;
would be disfranchised by the inattention of the very Pecs
appointed to watch over their interests in each parish.

BOW-STREET.

THE POOR LAW AMENDMENT BlLL.—Yesterday Eliza-
beth Donovan and Norah Goffney, paupers of St. Martin's
parish, were brought before Mr. AlmsHuLL and Mr.
HALLS, charged with having violated the 92d clause of the
Poor Law Amendment Bill, by introducing spirituous
liquors into the workhouse.
John Capper, the porter at the gate of the workhouse,
stated that the defendants had received permission on
Monday to go out for a holiday. The defendant Elizabeth
Donovan came home at nine o'clock at night, and on
searching her a bottle of rum was found concealed in her
stocking. The other defendant came home about the same
time in a state of intoxication, and on searching her a
bottle containing two quarts and a half of gin was found
under her arm. They were both detained in the work-
house until they could be brought before the Magistrates.

Mrs. Donovan's defence was that she had abad cold,
and that for its cure she was prescribed hot rum and water
upon going to bed.—(Laughter.)
Mrs. Goffney also pleaded guilty to the charge ; but, in
extenuation, she said she was severely afflicted with the
cholic, and she had obtained the little drop of gin for the
purpose of expelling the wind from her stomach.—(Great
laughter.)
The Magistrates fined each defendant 10s., and in de-
fault of payment they were committed for seven days to
the House of Correction.

COVENT-GARDEN.

A very crowded house welcomed Mr. and Mrs Wood last
night, on their return from America; the opera chosen for
their re-appearance was Rossini's Cenerentola. Mrs. Wood
does not seem much changed in her person since we last had
the pleasure of seeing her ; she was evidently labouring under
indisposition, and her performance was characterised by con-
siderable languor. The plaintive air, " Once again their
charms to try," in her first scene, was but indifferently sung,
owing, no doubt, to the excitement caused by seeing herself
again amongst her old friends ; but she quite recovered her-
self in the first scene with the Prince, and sang her part of
the duet and the following quintette exquisitely. " With grief
no longer bending," in the finale to the opera, was an extra-
ordinary specimen of musical science and vocal skill. The au-
dience insisted on having it a second time, and Mrs. Wood,
though much exhausted, went through the arduous task without
flinching. Mr. IN' ood is improved, both in his looks and in
his voice ; he is stouter in person, and the compass of his
voice is increased, that is, not his register voice, but his voce
di testa, to which he has frequent recurrence ; it is, fortu-
nately, of an agreeable quality. The style of this gentleman
is, altogether, more finished and musician-like. He was a
little confused on first appearing, but speedily recovered him,:
• self. He sang the scena beginning " All around is silent,"
with considerable neatness, and throughout the opera added
much to the effect of all the concerted pieces in which he bore
a part. Mr. Seguin took the character of Dandini in
manner quite equal to What tvaa t,.xpFcted fro him, hat n 4
equal to what it required. In fact, it was totally deficient in
that comic humour which has made it so popular at the Italian

GUILDHALL.

Yesterday a middle-aged widow, named Ann Keating,
was brought before Mr. Alderman BIRCH, in consequence

of having been found apparently in a state of derangement,
surrounded by a crowd of persons, on the previous evening.
Daniel Mealy, a City policeman, found her at eight
o'clock in Redcross-square, Cripplegate, hugging a dead
child, about seven months' old, to her breast with one arm,
and flourishing a knife with the other to prevent any per-
son from taking the child from her. There was a mob about
her, and she was in a state of great excitement. He sus-
pected she had been drinking, and, upon getting her to the
Compter, it was a matter of great difficulty to get the child
from her. It appeared she was a widow, with four chil-
dren, residing in Labour-in-Vain-yard, Thames-street.
Her child died three or four days ago, and she was excited
at not being able to obtain so decent a coffin from the
parish as she wished to have. The corpse was now put into
a shell, and would be buried in the afternoon.
Foster, the Marshalman, knew the woman's husband, and
he believed she had suffered greatly from distress.
As she was now in a calm state, Mr. Alderman BIRCH
dismissed her, with a few words of advice, and gave her a
half-sovereign from his purse.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 14.

John Higgins, and Timothy Morgan, were indicted for
assaulting Peter Plant, a policeman of the G division, No
77. The prosecutor was called on to quell a disturbance
in a public-house in Golden-lane, when the defendants at-
tacked him and beat him severely.
The Jury found both the prisoners guilty.
The CHAIRMAN said the Court would always protect
the police in the execution of their duty. The sentence of
the Court was that each of them be imprisoned three
months in the House of Correction, and kept to hard
labour.
Jane Jackson was convicted of stealing a considerable
quantity of table linen, the property of Mr. James
Highmore. Sentence, one month's imprisonment.
Elizabeth Gaskin was indicted for stealing two snuff boxes,
value 51., the property of Henry Cooper, her master.
The prosecutor resided in Vale-place, Fulham, and the
prisoner was a servant to the family. On the night of the
6th inst. she awoke the family, and stated that, on going up
stairs to rest, she found a man under her bed. The house
was immediately searched, but no traces of a robber could be
found, but the drawers in one of the rooms were found to
have been ransacked, and among other articles, the property
in question stolen, no part of which has since been traced,
but on searching the prisoner's box a key was found, which
had long been missing, and which opened the door of the
room from which the property was taken. She, however,
was not suspected of the robbery until two days afterwards,
when, on being taxed with it, and promised forgiveness, she
confessed her guilt.
The CHAIRMAN could not receive in evidence a confes-
sion made under such circumstances, and the other evi-
dence not being in his opinion sufficient to convict her, the
Jury must acquit her.—She was acquitted accordingly.
The prisoner was again indicted for stealing two bank-
notes for 10/. and two for .51. each _ .

The evidence in this case being the same the prisoner
was again acquitted, and on leaving the bar she said,
laughing, " Thank you, gentlemen."

SURREY SESSIONS.-KINGSTON, OCT. 14.

The General Quarter Sessions for the county of Surrey
commenced yesterday at Kingston-on-Thames before B.
BARNARD, Esq., and a very full Bench of Magistrates.
The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the Grand Jury, expressed
great pleasure in informing them that their labours were
likely to be very light, in consequence of the small number
of cases in the calendar.

SURREY.

The pantomime is intitled, Harlequin and Little King Pip-.
phi or the Golden Crown and the Goblin of the Apple. The
titles of the characters are of enormous length, and altogether
unpronounceable, as the following allotted to Mr. Davidge
will testify, Hydraominous Hellabelladarnelausem, the guar-
dian dragon of the enchanted apple. Mr. Honner was the
Harlequin, Messrs. Asbury and Taylor' the Pantaloon and
Clown, and Mrs. Searle as the Columbine. They went
through the performance with much agility and consider-
able success. There was the usual tumbling, jumping,
and somersets, which amused the admirers of such exercises—
the usual tricks of the Harlequin, and the often-repeated petty
thefts of the Clown and Pantaloon, committed on unsuspect-
ing and simple people, as they carried on their daily avocations
in the metropolis. At the conclusion of the performance, Mr.
Silvester, as the Flying Air-diver, was announced to dive
through the air, over objects, and through small circumferences,
twelve feet from the ground, without the aid of ropes or wires.
He made his first spring with wonderful agility, but narrowly
escaped severe injury from rebounding against one of the
scenes with great force from the mattress on which he alighted.
His next feat was to leap over a man standing some six or
ceight feet from the stage, but on making the run the platform
gave way, and he fell, and brought down his unlucky comrade
with great violence on the floor. Mr. Silvester immediately
jumped up, and showed the audience that he had received no
Injury. The other, however, appeared to have received a
violent shock, though we believe he was not seriously hurt.
Mr. loaner, in consequence, announced to the audience that
the performance could not be completed that evening, and the
pantomime in a few minutes closed.

VICTORIA.

The treat for the holyday folks at this theatre commenced
weith the Fall of Pompeii, which has been got up in a most
goiigfon3 style. The pantomime was founded upon the nur-
sery fat, of—

" Ding7dong bell,
Pugs is Cie well ;"

and such also was the title under which it was issued forth,
with all the aids of music, scenery, and trickery, to delight the
hearts of the young play-going gentry at the Surrey side of
the water; but with all these aids it had a narrow escape from
extinction on the very first night of its representation. The
SC enery was very good--the dresses were also good, but the
ticks were all old, and every attempt at any thing like humour
was a positive failure. The house was crowded even to the

IRELAND.-LOUTH ELECTION.

FIRST TRIAL OF STRENGTH BETWEEN THE CONSERVATIVES AND
REFORMERS IN IRELAND.—TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF SIR. PA-
TRICK BELLEW, THE REFORM CANDIDATE FOR THE COUNTY.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
unalk, c. .
The Foster party have retired from D d
the contesDte for this
county, and have left the field in the hands of the Reformers.
At an early hour this morning the town exhibited a scene of
extraordinary bustle and animation, this being the day ap-
pointed for the election. The intelligence of Mr. Foster's re-
signation was announced through the medium of large placards,
which were posted in every part of the town; and it infused a
feeling of general satisfaction among the people, not so much
on account of any apprehension which they entertained as to
the result, but because it saved them the trouble and annoyance
which a contested election never fails to produce.
At twelve o'clock Sir Patrick Bellew, accompanied by Mr.
Sheil, M. P., and all the leading reforming gentlemen of the
county, entered the Court, and were greeted by the loud and
reiterated plaudits of the numerous assemblage which thronged
the Court and every avenue leading to the spacious edifice.
Francis Donough, Esq., the High-Sheriff, shortly after en-
tered the Court, when the business of the day commenced.
The writ having been read, and the usual formalities gone
through—
HENRY CHESTER, Esq., a magistrate for the county, and a
gentleman of independent fortune, came forward to propose
Sir Patrick Bellew.
The nomination was seconded by HUGH O'CALLAGHAN.
another magistrate, and a very influential landholder.
The SHERIFF inquired if any elector bad any other candi-
date to propose, and having paused for some time, and there
being no reply, declared Sir Patrick Bellew duly elected, who
returned thanks, after which, Mr. Sheil having addressed the
meeting, it dispersed.

WILTS ELECTIONS.

(From the Bath Herald.)
was on Monday very generally reported in Devizes that
Sir John Cam Hobhouse intended to oppose Mr. Walter
Long for the Northern Division of Wilts; but we do not find
there is any authon.,:v for the report.
The three candidates for the representation of Devizes have
completed their canvass ; anti each appears perfectly satisfied
with the result.
A correspondent, a few weeks 6tince, wrote us " that Mr.
Gordon, ashamed of the violation of two of the pledges he made
at the hustings at the last election,. would not show his face at
Cricklade again." Mr. Gordon is a bol.fler man than our cor-
respondent imagined. He is again in the field.---Devizes Gaz.
There is now no doubt that Capt. Boldero will be returned
with Mr. Neeld for Chippenham.
Lord Andover will be re-elected for Malmesbury, without
opposition.
Sir Samuel Fludyer, Bart., at his late audit at Chippenham,
reduced the rent of his lands there 12 per cent.
Lord Ernest Bruce and Mr. Henry Baring, the present
Members for Marlborough, were actively engaged last Thurs-
day and Friday, in canvassing the electors of that borough,
There is no doubt of their re-election, as any opposition to
them would prove useless.

to him, and the moment he received it he jumped into his
cab and drove away.
He was remanded until the attendance of the gentleman,

from cabs happened so frequently when such boys were em-
ployed to drive them.

as to the result.

STRAND.

The lessee of this little theatre, not to be behind-hand with
those' of a more imposing description at this festive season,
produced here two agreeable novelties last night. After the
mythological and musical burletta called the Twelve Months,
which gives great scope, for a variety of very pretty scenery,
music (selected princi;wly)„, and a host of good, bad, and in-
different puns, but aided by the talents of Mrs. Waylett, Mrs,
Nisbett, and Miss P. Horton, continues to be most favourably
received; the burletta of the Mashed Battery was produced,
of which Mrs. Nisbett and her sister, Miss Mordaunt, are the
princilal support. A new " domestic doggerel poem" (as the
bills term it) was presmted from the prolific pen of Mr.
a'Beckett, called Man... Fred, which, from the title, and the
writer's peculiar forte for punning, it may easily be concluded
is no more nor less than a parody on a tolerably successful
tragedy at a r:val est:;blibinent. The piece possesses more
merit than nFoially de.velopeo itself in this species of the bur-
lesque. Mitchell, as the-counterpart of Denvil, gives one of
the closest and best imitations we have witnessed for a length
of time. The house was well attended.
OLYMPIC.

A burlesque burletto, Tebn.achus, or the Island of Ca-
Ilipso, was produced theatre last night. The style
and titles of the enteilainment were well chosen. The story,
widi which all the school-boys are now-a-days familiar, was
burlesqued, and. so was the first scene in IllaVred, in which
the spirits of the elements are evoked, and so were certain ex-
quisite snatches of German and Italian operas. Madame
Vestris was the representative of Calypso; she looked well
berszlf, and was attended by a bevy of nymphs, all of whom
bad pretty dresses, and not a few those pretty faces and
fair forms which would beseera their characters. The burletta,
if not altogether so amusing as the preceding numbers of the
Olympic " Classical Annual," was yet perfectly successful,
and Madame Vestris's request at the conclusion, " Pray re-
member the grotto," was received with loud applause.
