THE, HARVEST.

Thi•; district hen been favouied with several fine harvest days
since our laet publication, and the few showers that have fallen
have been too gentle. to injure the crops,—which are abundant,
and we trust, will housed in good condition. Our northern
fanners will, of CoUrse; benefit by the damage which ti-ee crops
of the south and west of England have sustained, if the cream_
stance be not incautiously pushed too far, unto the opening of
the ports,—in which case, the Markets will be overwhelmed
with the accutnulations now wahing. on the ether side, for that
pu.,-pose; it being in evidence by Mr. Jacobs, an intelligent
traveller and writer, before the Committee of the House of Com -
mans, that the greater part of the population of the. Continent,
which was sat at liberty by the termination of the war, were
employed in cultivating corn, for which they looked for a market
in this Country.—(Newcastle Courant.)
This morning and the forenoon has been eloUdy but dry, and
there is every appearanee of the weather breaking up, becornitig
and continuing favourable for the labours of the liusbandenar.
The great are unncoasso.ry alarm in the Grain Market i:....fast

Since our Jelt we have had several very fine days,. find parti-
cularly favoitee?:.le for carrying on the operations of the harvest.

. This morning there were a good many shearers hired at the
CroFe ; wages were Nan 20d. to '.2s. The weather hes been
vary ravourable. for the last two days, and the farmers are busy

tea Dtighboprhool of Dumfries.-(Glasgow Chfoniele.)
Ir. the Country little business has been done in con-
t..7.c,uence of the weather in the past week, which has enabled the
farmers to get in the greater part of their outstanding ecru ;
so entirely will this remark oprly to Yeovil on Friday, that c,;.:.•
Reporter states he " did not bear of a sine's deal havinie been
matte either in corn or flour."--(Slierborne-i%lercury.)
We arc happy to hear that the injury sustained •by the

titles of Coen have been saved, noiwithstani lag the wetness e%

quality.—(Carlow tinning Post.)
The rain, which has been pretty constant during the lest
week, has in a great measure put a stop to the cutting down of
the harvest in Ais neighbourhood, and in sorlle places the oat
and barley crops have been in a slight degree injbired by it r,
however, a short period of -good weather
:would dissipate all
those Floo-ny apprehensions; and enable the farmer to have r:4l.
gathered in,(LtiedOnderry Journal.)

EXECUTIOm.-This morning .214m.as 'Fillmore,
for cutting and stabbing General Eden, with in-
tent to murder him ; George Lee, for uttering
forged five-pound notes; and William Thompso7:,
for a highway robbery, under circumstances of
peculiar atrocity, were • executed at. the Old
Bailey.----Patmore had formerly lived servant with
the General some years, and to. wh.orti dung
that period
.he was much attached, but, an idea
that some improper familiarity had taken place
between his wife and his master caused the corn
mission of the rash act. tee was an old.-otfeoder,
and had long been engaged ,in the traffic for
Which he paid his life. Thompson. was a mere
boy, and extremely ignorant, and had no doubt
been the dupe of some more hardened' offenders.
Their conduct. was such, as became their situa-
tion : on the scaffold their prayers werd fervent,
and they seemed, on the drop falling, to 'die
without much struggle.

ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—At an early hour this
morning an Unfortunate man, (we understood his
name to be Wilson), being rather inebriated,
was decoyed into a house in Churles-street,
Drury-lane. On his going into the house the
practice now so prevalent was attempted to be
practised upon him, by demanding his money ;
1..0me refusal on his part called forth the violence
of the party that attended to support this de-
mand; a scuffle ensued, when the man vas thrown
from the window (a two pair of • stairs), and so
severely injured, that it was found requisite to -
remove him to Middlesex Hospital,
.where he
remains in a hopeless state.

So dense was the fog on Sunday night on the
northern road, that at Finchley, I•Vhet4tene, Bar-
net, &c. the mail-guards were obliged to decentl
from their stations, and walk before the'cc:lo!ei
with the lamps in their hands ; and people geir^
from, or returning to town in girl, &e. found it
necessary to have people preceding than with
lighted links.
