A Correspondent from the West Highlands in.
forms us, that some time ago they had very fine
weather, which favoured the making of kelp 30
much, that it is not only great in quantity, hut good
in quality. Of late, however, and at present, they
hive very wet weather : the crops look well, and
ax the harvest is hut beginning, they exreft to have
good weather yet to gather in the fruits of the
earth.

TH. being a very plentiful season for grapes, the
bunches may be very much aided in ripening, by

mew:in was observed at Whitby, I,r which it is
extteinely difficult to account. It was as follows
—7The day being sultry, with-very little wind, a
sudden and vehement wind, which seemed to arise
from the caverns of the earth, took place in a small
plot of ground behind a Gentleman's house at the
north. west end of the town,. where a quantity of
linen was laid to ; these,clike the effeel, of a
small tornag, it whirled into the air, carrying them
awifily. across the river, beyond which several arti.
des were faund, at above a mile's distance from
the spot tram whence. they were swept away ; and
what renders this more remarkable is, that other
clothes lying on the same grass-plot, and upon the
surrounding hedge, remained undiStuthed. In
every other part of the town the weather was in-
tensely hot and calm.
A- Lull-, with two female attendants, went to
bathe, a few day; since, at, Brighton, and desired
that the machine might be put into• the water as
deeply as it could be placed with safety. The
bathers did as they were desired, and the tide being
nearly, at flood, the machice ,I!‘"24s soon after afloat,
and overturned, The Bathers and the Ladies ail
screamed ; and numbers who beheld the ili,aster On
the Cliff, hurried to the water's‘,edge, several of
whom, who could swim, dashed-into .the ICA,' and
with much difficulty brought the-machine to land.
