THE HARVEST IN FRANCE.—A Bordeaux paper
informs us, that the wheat harvest in the department of the
Gironde is abundant, but that it is got in with great difficulty.
The weight of the wheat varies from 77 to 79 kilogs. the
hectolitre. The wine-growers have much fear as to the result
of their harvest, as it will be fully three weeks later this year
than the last, and there is hardly ground now to hope that
there will be sufficient heat to make the grapes of good quality.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Thursday, an inquiry
was begun before Mr. Carter, Coroner for the county of
Surrey, on the body of Ellen Tyrrell, who was on Tuesday last
found drowned in the Surrey Canal, under very suspicious

and, advancing cautiously to the burning fusees, he extinguished
them. On examination they were found to be burned within
half an inch of the powder.
It will be remembered that some three or four
years ago the traveller of Mr. Richard Pattinson, of Carlisle,
was stopped near Greenhead, and robbed of a sum of money, by
- two men of the names of Getty and Mooney. One of these,
- Getty, was followed into Ireland and cleverly captured, by
- Thomas Hetherington, then of the police force ; and being con-
- victed at the Northu.nberland Assizes, was transported for
- fifteen years. On Tuesday, Hetherington, who is now re-
siding in Liverpool, arrived at Carlisle with the second offender,
- Mooney, and, having had him identd, proceeded with him
