The report of the direc:ors states that the frAffic,
as compared with the corresponding period of 1856,
shows an increase -an every tirinch except copper
ore, on which there is a serious falling off. The ex-
pected addition to the traffic from the landing
and shipping of merchandise at the company's'
wharf at Truro has been realised to a limited ex-
tent, and is steadily progressing. The working ex-
penses of the half-year show a serious increase in
the three items of " carrying account," " locomo-
tive account," and " maintenance of way and
works." Towards the close of last year a series of a, c-
cidents occurred on the line by the engines repea! ealy
running off the rails, fur'unately without injury to
any irtssengers or the company's servants, hut doing
serious damage to the engines and rain;
W:ti a view to oreva,it a r-curreticejot any
such accidents Mr. Brunel, at the request f fire
company, and Capt. Tyler, I:.E , by direction of the
Posed or Trade, have hap cted the line, and on
their joint suggestion altera'ions have been made
in the e:igines, a se crier quality of iron has I,e .--n
used in the manufacture of the rails, a greater
amount of ballast has been laid under them, and
the j ints have heen secured with additional rivets.
Af er full consideration it has been resolve 1 to
charge at once to the half-year's r wenue the whole
ci*t incurred in rbpairiug and replacing the 10 hug
stock, and in respect of the ballas lug and r=aying
the line a sum of 2,000'. has been charg d against
the half-year, which it is believed is co siderably iu
xces4 of the fair charge of maint:inance. The works
en the Cot- .wall line continue to progress steadily,
and it is expected that the first half of the bridge
across the Tamar, at Saltish, will be floated to its
place at the cAnniencement of next month.
The revenue account for the list half-year shows

Yesterday morning the whole of the men of the
7th iju,sars and draughts from various regiments,
to the number in all of 654, with 30 officers, em-
barked from Tilbury on board the celebrated clip-
per Lightning. The men seemed, one 'and all, in
splendid condition and high spirits, and were bid
adieu to with the usual accompadmen ts of cheers
and tears, all more or less hearty. Every prepara-
tion had been made for their reception on board,
but, In spite of all, the proverbial hurry, worry, and
confusion of a troopship were presen•ed in their most
prominent for:D. The men were c,,lleAA. on deck
for al ng time, while he taus' er-rdl was called over,
after! which telious but highly necessary prelimi-
narrthey hegan to settle down, though an inexpe-
ri, need person would be slow to perceive that their
t=xttrti,)ns had any such tranquillizingresult in view.
What with armonrera' boxes, carbine racks,, men's
tins, kits, and general equipments, ship's stores,
and Crowds of men; the Bab 1 seemed hopeless to
the last degree. . Only the hearty good. humour and
" with-a-wiir disposition which nervadsd all on
board, both troops and crew, could ever contend
with such a-military chaos as yesterday existed on
board the. Lightning. Nor was it a whit better in
the gotgoous saloons allotted to the officers. There

it scorned an int-rrninable succession of lunches and
hPavy ptickagts; with a supplement aty melange of
telegraph boys with last m ss3gea army tailors
fighting for-realisable propositions, visitors, garri-
son officials, officers, and their relat:ves and friends.
l'he amount of equiptmnt in the ur-ay of furniture
wlych officers brought on boar and which, as a
matter of course, they fieund tot illy tiselesg, and only
lumber in their cabin,'vcas something astounding. Is
there no retired Indian t fficerof experience who will
publish a little book pointing out what officers
really do require when going to India ? He would
be a benefactor to the army. As it was uncertain
what time the vessel would really Start, of course
the applications from ardent subs for 24 hours'
leave: were rather num-.Tous, but they were finally
put an end to by itistruc ions that the L;ghtoing
should get undi,r way by 7 o'clock last evening.
This she amording'y di.l, and was towed down the
river by the Resolut., one of the two tugs recently.
built at Liverpool, and the largest and the mo-t
pow.-iful ever constructed. To the last hour of
the Lightning's st,y routine was triumphant, and
the number of documents the officers had to sign
and the numbers of signatures necessary to each
document were something marvellous. Some there
were by no means loth to express the opinion of the
annoyance, as fresh applications for their autographs
in 10 or 12 fresh plsc-s came in. each momen'. No
one for a minute supposes that the troops will not
get ammunition on their arrival in India, yet a
large quantity is sent in eachtroopship, though the
practice is gravely objected to by our most experi-
enced naval and mili ary officers. But it has been
the custom and is so persevered in, and it has not
be-n :the custom yet to give the, men their light
clothing till their arrival in India, and that is per-
severed in too, though each day shows the necessity
for reversing the rules. The troopships now take
a quantity of powder which they don't want, and •
which, of course, risks their arriving in India at
all, and they leave behind the light clothing, which
they are far from certain of getting in India, though
they are quite certain that without it the men will
be utterly helpless when thy do arrive. This is
ce:tain'y a fair specimen of "routine." Fur the
rest the troops are most comfortable on board, and
if we may judge from the foilowiug dietary, ought.

THE WEATHER AND THB, CROPS.

SCOTLAND. —Harvest -operations, -where ripeness
is fully attained, hive made rapid progress during
he past wedc, the weather b lug exceedrnOy
Avourable. Over the coast side .di-tric's of B sir ff-
shire, and the lower parts of Morayshire, there is
scarcely a farm upon which some has not been cut ;
generally all the harvest hands have been called in,
not a few farmers c ‘mmencing with full strength
on Monday ; while in many cases considerable ad-
vancement has been made in cutting, some in Mo-
rayshire having an immense nurnbq of stocks with
a gaid deal stacked. The crops are not nearly so
heavy in the lower districts of Banff hire as Last
year, hut in Morayshire they are expected to hulk
above the average of seas ms. The potato disease
has again made its appearance within the past week
in various parts of the counties of Banff, Moray, and
Aberdeen and has, since it became olliervable,
made rapid progress.—Scotsman.
ORKSHIRE. —The weather in this neighbour-
hood (Selby) continues extremely fine. Harvest
operations progress very rapidly, and the gra:n
generally is in capital condition. But while the
cereal crops are all that could be dosired, we.regret
to say that the potatoes, which a short
,time ago
promised do well, have suffered most seriously from
the late heavy rains, as well as from the epidemic.
There are scores of acres in this ne'gh hourhood-
that have been under water, many of which will
scarcely pay for gathering.—Leeds Mercury.

WORCESTERSHIRE.—Since our List the weatlr-r
has been of a most propitious character f r harvest
operations, and in a short time the whole. of the-
gr3in crops will have been ga,.h.3rel. The new
wheat, which has come to market, has bees gene-
rally good condition, though some of the farmers
last Saturday produced some of the spurted white
wheat, and one or two of spartyl rel. Some of
the new wheat was as hard and as dry as7old whe
. and was mistaken by the dealers as such. The
heat during the last few days has be?n excessive.
The thermometer fell on Saturday and Sunday,
and also on Monday till the evening, but a change
then took place, an' it has since b steadily
On Saturday and Monday nights dis-
tant ightning was observed in the west abut tan
o'clock, but no rain has fallen in this district,
though we have hal heavy dews. The potatoes
are said t:rhave suffered greatly from disease since
the last storms, and particularly in the neighbour-
hood of Evesham, Hartlebury, and Kidderminster.

Sussux.—The harvest in this district has been
gathered in, on the whole, in excellent, condition.
Tiie barley only has been injured by the recent
storms, but that not to an exteit to be serious.
The straw is discoloured, but the grail is not
"growy," as might be supposed. The whe It crop
is one of the heaviest known for y. ara past.
This has been harvested on the whole, in excellent
condition.. Plenty seems everywhere to exhibit it-
'self, suffi3ient to make up the deficiency of last
year. Thrashing machines are now busy in every
direction, and the new wheat is being brought into
market as quickly as possible by the agriculturists
of the neighbourhood. Altogether the lood pro'-
pects look remarkably well, if we take tide district
