rived at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, yesterday af-
ternoon, with despatches from Lord COWLEY, our Ambas-

• The Duke of RUTLAND arrived at Belvoir
Castle on Friday evening, in excellent health, from his
cottage near Sheffield, where he ha% been taking the diver-
sion of grouse shooting for some days.—Leicester Journal.

Brunswick Constitutional Clubs are about to
be formed in Shropshire, and the northern counties of the
Principality.—Skefiield Courgut.

DIOGENES was not in the. wrong, who, when
the great ALEXANDER, finding him in the charnel-home,
asked him what he was peeking for, answered, "I am
seekisg for your father's bones, and those of my slave ;
but I cannot find them, because there is no difference be-
tween them."

FLY WATER.—Prussic Acid has been ob-
tained from the leaves of green tea, in so concentrated a
state, that one drop killed a dog almost instantaneously. A
strong infusion of Souchong tea, sweetened with sugar, is
as effectual in poisoning flies as the solution of arsenic, ge-
nerally sold for that purpose.—Mirror.

As an instance of the flourishing state of
Church-of-Englandism, in North Wales, a correspondent
informs us that he lives in a parish in which the parson is
obliged to give a quart of ale to a couple of his parishioners
to induce them to attend church when he is publishing
banns of mitrimony !—Dublin Morning Register.

The oat crop throughout this county has this
year proved a failure in a remarkable degree ; in many in-
stances they will not pay for the labour of carting from the
ground. Beans, on the contrary, are everywhere a pro-
digious crop. Barley is also good, and a fair average
crop.—Bath Herald.

A child of a labouring man, named THOMAS,
died at St. Ive's last week, in consequence of eating unripe

" My Aunt Margaret's Mirror," " The
Tapestried Chamber," " The Laird's Jock," and " A
Scene at Abbotsford," are the names of four Stories written
by Sir WALTER SCOTT, which will appear in the forth-
coming volume of The Keepsake.
There is no material alteration in the state of
trade at Dewsbury, Huddersfield, or Halifax, at each of
which places there is full employment for the weavers. The
manufacture of coarse woollens at Elland, is brisk.—Don-
caster Gazette.

DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.---We regret
to state that the body of Mr. HAWLEY', the respectable
jeweller and silversmith, of 75, Strand, was found drown-
ed early this morning, in the river Thames, between Vaux-
hall-bridge and the Red House, Battersea. The unfor-
tunate gentleman has not been at the shop since Thursday
last, and it was supposed lie was at his counting-house,
near Brixton. The body was conveyed to the Red House,
Battersea, where an inquest will sit this day.

The Gazette of last night may be considered
an Extraordinary one. It contain• only one Declaration
of Insolvency, and one new Bankruptcy ! ! !

THE WEATHER.—The weather continues
excellent, and harvesting is pushed with an activity far
surpassing that manifested in ordinary years. Within a
circle of six miles rouud this city, the harvest is about
completed, and the happy tenants of the plains are ranting
at " kirns" in every direction. There is, however, a
growing demand for shearers for distant parishes. Most
of those who appeared at the Port these two morn-
ings have been hired at ls. 6d., and the hands taken out
twelve miles got 2s. and victuals. The reapers' wages
have hitherto been lower in this city than in any other
quarter of Britain. At Glasgow, the grand entrepot of
the Irish auxiliaries, wages have run from Is. 6d. to 2s.—
On Monday, at Dumfries, the wages were 25., with an al-
lowance of milk, and some bargained successfully for their
dinner. At Carlisle the wages are 2s. 6d., and at
Cockermouth 3s. 6.1., while, before yesterday, 'it was only
in a few cases they exceeded Is. 3d. in this city ananeigh-
bnurhood. In every quarter the dark forebodings and
gloomy apprehensions, which so long and so generally pre-
vailed, have been succeeded by the hope, almost certain, of
more than an average erop,—seas7„7,.
