T

stant heat--the thermometer, has ranged, for those eight days
past, from 74 to 91 degrees in the shade:
The water in the river continues low, in proportion to former
years ;, it rose a little from theist of April, till the Ist of July
as usual ; it now falls fast and will, probably, be lower this fall
than ever it has been known.

YORK (U.-C.) AUG. 23.—Although the clouds haVe very
frequently threatened a storm of rain, yet the weather in this
neighbourhood. has continued dry for a long time, and great
inconvenience is beginning to beielt in consequence. Frequent
showers have fallen in the townships: to the northward. The
harvest season.has been very favourable ; and the crops in all
parts of the province are said to be abundant. •
lincosToN, (U. C.) AuG. 26.—The King,ston Herald, of
the 10th inst., contains the names of three hundred and eighty-
one persons, who have been attainted of high treason committed
in Upper Canada, or Who have been returned as having ab-
sconded from the Province during the late war with the United
States of America.. And all those who can, are requested to
give information of any person not included in the list liable to
be declared Aliens by. the:Statute, 54th George the Third, as
having left the .Province during- the war, without hcence ; or of
any lands owned by them, or any of the individuals named on
the list of Ist, of July, 1812, or afterwards, not heretofore
forfeited.

We learn from a Gentleman who arrived here last evening in
the Steam-boat Charlotte, that. M'Garry, Harrington, Kelly,
and Masters, the four men condemned at the Cornwall Assizes
for the murder of John B. Sibert, of Williamsburgh, were on
Monday last executed pursuant to their sentence. M'Garry
appeared first on the platform. On coming forward he gazed
round on the spectators, and turning ui his eyes surveyed with
the-utmost coolness and apparent indifference the apparatus of
death, and then looked back into the Court-room to see if his
accomplices were following him. After they were all brought
on the scaffold and pinioned, M'Garry 'and Kelly confessed their
guilt, declaring at the same time that Masters and Harrington
were innocent of the murder, and were 'only participators with
them in the plunder of the property. M'Garry, with a kick,
threw his shoes off the scaffbld from his feet, questioned the
executioner whether he had ever performed such an officebe-
fore, and being answered in the negative, desired to give
him " plenty of rope." All the criminals being Roman Ca-
tholics, were attended to the place of execution by the Right
Rev. Bishop Nl'Donell, of Glengary, who had solemnly ad-
monished them to make a public confession of their guilt, and
to exhort others to take warning by their fate. M'Garry con-
cluded his short address to the byestanders with saying that he
had " already confessed his sins to his Maker," and had not
come there "to make a stage player of himself." in a few
moments the drop fell and the four unhappy men were launched
into.eternity. After hanging about three quarters of an hour,
the bodies were cut down and delivered to the surgeons for
dissection.

, MONTREAL, AUG. 29.—(Ton WEATHER.)—After a long
and uncommon drought, it began to rain before break of day
on Sunday last, and continued till towards evening without in-
termission but moderately. The good resulting will be beyond
calculatiOn, as the earth was in a manner parched, vegetation
drooping and the cattle suffering for want of food. The morn-
ing after this rain, the Sun rose in unclouded splendor and gave
an opportunity abbut nine o'clock A. m. to see his disk more
than half concealed from view by the intervention of the moon—
or in other words eclipsed.
DISTRICT OF QUEBEC, SEPT. 3.--(Annicur.TunAL
REPORT FOR AUGUST, 1821.)—The weather continued dry
and unusually warm, with some heavy thunder-showers at long
intervals, till the last days of the month, when it changed to
cool, with a smoky haze, clearing off when the wind was north_
erly, and returning with southerly and westerly winds. On .the
night of the 29th there fell a heavy north-easterly rain, which
changed the next day to clear and very warm weather for the
season, the thermometer rising to 80 degrees in the shade.
The Hay was all got in in good order early in the month. 'lt
proves generally short of the crop of last year.
Winter Wheat, sown at the end of August and beginning of
September, was cut about the 10th of the mouth, affording a
very plentiful return of an excellent quality. The Barley liar-
vest began about the same time; the early red bearded Spring
Wheat was lit for reaping about the 15th; white bearded within
a few days. after, and the harvest became general before the
close of the month, -thus allowing hardly four months in the
ground to the bald Spring Wheat, which is still'preferred by
the great majority of the farmers.
The Crops of all the aforementioned Corn are good in qua-
lity, abundant both in Straw and Grain, excepting on some high
light lands, where the grasshoppers and
.other insects have w
proved very destructive. Nothing is now ant& but favour-
able weather, to insure us the blessing of a good harvest.
Peas are.also an unusually good crop -; and Oats are superior
to the crop of last year, being generally sown after the other
grain; a great proportion of theism are still green.
The Potatoe crops, which looked uncommonly well last
month, have suffered by the dry Weather.' in several places a
small black flea, .unusual at . tins .season, has injured the
leaves on 'the stalks, and weakened the plants ; many doubts
are expressed of the Potatoe Crop this season.
Several persons who are in thehabit of raising Turnips have-
entirely failed this season, the young plants having been dee
stroyed by insects, particularly by the small black flea, th,
grasshopper, and a black cricket; tne numbers of all of which
as well asxaterpillars, have been greater than at any time for
the last twenty years. The Turnips which had the benefit, of
the rain in the beginning of July, escaped the ravages of the in-
sects and have done well, promising at least a fair average crop.
The gardens and orchards still promise ,nearly the usual
supply, although some of . the former prove altogether unpro-
ductive, owing to the mischief done by the different sorts of in-
sects. It has been observed that gardens where barn door fowls
and ducks are kept in the neighbourhood, and arc suffered to
run at large, have suffered very little.
'rhe prices in the Quebec Ntarkets are given in this day's Paper.
It will be seen that butcher's meat continues high priced. For
grain there is absolutely no demand : Wheat is said to have
been offered at 2s. a 2s. Od.. per minot in the District of Mon-
treal. The price of grain eventually affects the price oflabonr,
and every other agricultural production, and more so perhaps
in this country than in any other, because with us it furnishes
by far the greatest part of the Food of the inhabitants.
