THE HARVEST.—Harvest operations have been
somewhat retarded by the frequent showers which hale
fallen during the past week; but though many of the
el
were heavy, we do not think there has been so eit",,
rain as to have done any injury to the corn. If, Op
ever, we should unfortunately have a continuance of Its
same kind of weather tin. another week, we fear I:1;
considerable injury would be-sustained. In this ingtr
diate neighbourhood the spring-sown corn, as in oty'e
parts of, the country affected by the drought, is bad i
but of the wheat crop the accounts are most cheering a:
to quality and quantity. It will be seen by our macs
report that there was an advance in Mark-lane on Moe
day of Is. to 2s. per quarter. In the several count!/
markets within our district, higher prices were de
mended by growers, but there does not seem to 1'1,„
been any very great demand. In our market on Sate'
day the average price of wheat was 435. 9d., being
14s. Id. less per quarter than in the corresponding.rild,
of last year. The price of bread, best quality, is
Ae
per 41b. loaf ; second quality ?P.—Cambridge -r'

WATERLOO.—" What did you think of Waterloot"
I inquired of an old fellow I found one morning diggiz
in my garden, where he had been hired to assist by Ily
lazy head gardener. " Think of it," said the ord erkau
stopping and leaning upon his spade, "I thought $t Pee)
upon earth. I was utterly deaf with the contialllA
roar of the artillery on one side or the other, ,-i
the sound of the musketry of the men beside ma ,
could not see my companion's face for one minute (as 1r
stood next me) for the thick smoke ; and the nest
found him choking, retching, and vomiting in the agonleo.
of death, and clutching my very feet. Sometimes
shot went tearing through our ranks, and almost shalcil/,re
the part of the square where I had been for some /314
standing, seeming to loosen our files as it knocked,,w
poor fellows head over heels; like ninepins on a boeilil
green ; and then we heard the familiar tones of tbe°'..
colonel, to prepare for cavalry, as those devillish Cuicae.,c,
siers poured upon us, and we were wedged together ill'o,
a wall of iron again to receive them. That's all I kn.° 6
about my feelings, Sir," said the old soldier. "It gas

terrible sight, and awful to look upon. It was hell upo

menced digging with fearful energy.—United Service

BRITISH ORPHAN ASYLUM.

yesterday a Special General Meeting of the Di-
rectors and Subscribers to this Institution was held in
the Board-room, Abchurch-lane, for the purpose of
considering the proprie,,`v of altering certain portions
of the rules affecting the (24mission of candidates,
W. P. Harrison, Esq., in the chat:
The CHAIRMAN said the meeting ;;icl been con-
vened to consider whether it might not be advisable,
for the interests of the Society, to so modify anci alter
the rules as to allow that all votes given to a candi-
date in the election of children at one election should
be registered to its credit at a subsequent election,
and alio that in all cases of an equality of votes, the
Chairman should have the casting vote. This sub-
ject had been under consideration at least three years
ago, and as at that time another institution having in
view almost kindred objects with the British Orphan
Asylum was making a similar experiment, they
considered it better to delay the adoption of this
course until the result of the other experiment was
known. He was now happy to say that from all he
could learn the experiment had been successful, and
he thought in the present case it would do much
good.
On the motion of Mr. GREEN, seconded by Capt.
HALL, it was resolved—" That all votes given to any
candidate in any one election should be registered to
his credit at any subsequent election, and that the
Chairman should have the casting vote in all cases
where the votes were equal between rival candidates."
Mr. CUNLIFFE trusted that this resolution would
not be retrospective.
The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative.
After some further desultory conversation, a vote
of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meet-
ing separated.
