THE HARVEST.

The wheat harvest has commenced in the neighbourhood of
city. The crop will be large, and of most excellent quality.

tl.is

.—Canterbury "japer.
The wheat harvest has commenced throughout the west of
England, and the accounts both of the quality and bulk of the
crop are highly satisfactory. The plantation of hops, at Orchard
Portman, near Taunton, is in a remarkably thriving state•---De
vixes Gazette.
The wheat harvest is now in almost general operation through-
out Devonshire, and the produce is bountiful. Oats arta barley
are also abundant crops, except on light soils, where the want of
rain has been most felt.
The wheat and barley harvest is now becoming general hz this
neighbourhood. Though the Lent grain, as we have alre.tElY
stated, is generally a failure, the wheat is fine ; the produce WO
probably be little below an average crop. In some districts, the
rains last week proved very serviceable to the late sown barley.—
Worcester Journal.

CAUTION.---A man of the name of Price, who is
in the habit of calling at a house and asking the ser-
vant if her master is at home, if answered in the
negative, takes from a blue bag a stone bottle, mid
informs the servant her master has just purchased it,
and requested him to apply to her for Ss. 6d. • When
the bottle is opened, the contents are found to be
merely ink and water. He has already found 150
customers in the neighbourhood of Bloomsbury.
PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—Arrived here on Suit-
day last, the Latona, of London, James Paterson, master,
from Cape Breton, with timber. When off the Mull of
Kintyre, Captain Paterson discovered a small boat with
two men and a woman on board, labouring hard to heir
up against a tremendous sea. With genuine sympathy lie
bore down to relieve them from their perilous condition;
the yawning waves threatened every moment to over-
whelm them, but he succeeded in getting them on board of
the Latona, where he treated them with much humanity
till they were landed here.—The story of this frail bark,
about 13 feet keel,and her worn-out crew, is no less remark-
able than it is interesting. Samuel Addison, master of the
boat, proceeded from his abode at Birsay, in Orkney,
with lobsters, for Mr. Davidson, in Stromness, on
day, the 7th current, accompanied by J. Sinclair, who 1011
engaged with him in this employment, and his wife, who
went to Stromness to procure medical advice. After de•
livering their fish, they set out from Stromness on the
evening of the same day, directing their course to their
native haven at Birsay, but were soon enveloped in a most
impenetrable fog, by which they lost every trace of the
land; and then, under the influence of the strong currents
that are so remarkable in those seas, without the aid of
compass or any other guide, surrounded by a dense atmok
phere, and the wind, in such circumstances, genera,'
treacherously variable, they kept steering such a course
they concluded would catch some part of the land; but the
wind having shifted during night, and being misled 14
this inconstant agent, they were carried by the tide
through the Pentland Firth, which changed their course
to quite an opposite direction. About two P.M., on Ss:.
turday, the fog cleared up, but being then out of sight of
land, they took the sun as their guide to recover their
native shore,buthaving reversed their position during night.:
they were rapidly extending their distance from it, an
in this way they kept, unconscious of their error or their
danger, till about seven P.M., when they were pickedoEbi;'
the Elizabeth, Morrison, master, Prussian ship, from lija'
mel, bound to Wexford, in Ireland, with timher---than
forty miles out of sight of land in the North Sea. Cal);
tain Morrison behaved to them with great liumanitp
kept them for eight days on board, till, at Adamson On
request, he was turned off between the North of Ireland
and the Mull of Kintyre, with the intention of holding 00.
the latter coast, where, as has been already memtiotted,
they were again picked up by the Laiona, when again 41

that they are fit objects of compassion and liberality, t°
