THE HARVEST,
TO THE EDITOR OP tilE SUN.

SIR,—As you did me thtt holibttr of inserting a letter from
me last week regarding the itarrest, I will, if you please, follow
up my report by giving you a description of its present aspect.
Agrrater part of the wheat is cut, and the resbit is far ftioris
than the farmer's anticipations. A moat respectable Mid inter=
ligent individual, who has about 100 acres of *heat, inform'ell
me that he e ould have a great deal more than he had 16. st year
from the same number of acres ; a.ud he added, " My cousin,
who farms about the same quantitil wilt have 300 sacks more
than he had last y, ar." This fact, when taken into considera-
tion with :he epieneid crop of last season, sufficiently proves
Whst 'nave stated in my last letter, that this is one of the most
bountiful harvests within the memory of man.
A great deal of rain fell here on Tuesday, otherwise the
weather has been beautiful and dry ; healthy beet sea prevail,
which is more congenial to corn than intense heat without air.
I would just add one word, by wav of information, as to a
field of wheat I saw this season—and it is the eighth succes-
sive year, with one year excepted—on which wheat had been
grown on the same ground ; the soil was not much deeper than
the portfolio on which I am writing, and the crop was the finest
I think I ever saw. It was the produce of " Daniel's patent
manure," and grown by him on his estate at Winsley, near
Bath. An eminent agriculturist, one of the M.P.'s of this
county, who was with me at the time, pronounced it to be
" marvellous;" and I think you will allow, after this, I may
again subscribe myself CORNUCOPIA.
Wiltshire, August 25, 1845.

ACCIDENT OiX tOARD

THE MOONLIGHT. -
Last evening, an inquest was held by Mr. Ledford i 44;
Coroner, at tilt?. St: MattWt PUblitt-hotise, Mike-street,
Aklelpbi,ott the body of Jetties Purcell, aged 13, who met with
hit tlftth froth a frightful actident on board the Moonlight, on
nondtty 'evening last.. .
Mr. ilaines ablibitor, of Clevelarai• row, appeareu,
riorn motives of charity, on behalf of the parents of deceased;
Mr. Catterns on behalf of the Iron Steam-boat Company.
Mr. Edward Richards, of I, King-street, Cheapside, de-
posed that he was on board of the boat at the time of the
accident. When they arrived at Hungerford she was fastened
to the Prince of Wales. After landing and taking in passengers,
the boat was set in motion by the direction of the captain.
The rope, which had not been unfastened, caught the boy's leg,
and cut off his foot, which fell into the river and sunk. No
orders were given to unfasten the rope before the captain gave
the word to go a-head. There was no one on board the Prince
of Wales to let go the rope. If there had, the accident would
not have happened. When a cry was raised, the boat was
stopped, but not before the boy's foot was torn off.
Mr. .1. Marsh saw the deceased fall on the c'erk. Heard a
cry of " Stop her." Then saw that his foot. had been torn off
at the ankle, and blond streaming from the maimed limb. The
boat was not crowded, yet the lad sat in a coil of ropes at the
head of the boat.

Mr. Walter Scott, secretary to the Harwich and Birming-
ham Junction, gave similar testimony. He sat about a yard
from the deceased. He did not see the rope fastened to the
Prince of Wales. When the captain gave the signal to go on,
he saw the rope coil round the boy's kg. He and others
called out to unfasten the rope, but there was no one on the
paddle-boxes, or on board the Prince of Wales, who heeded
the cry. A lady came, but she was afraid to touch the rope,
as one of the crew were in the bows of the Moonlight at the

time. A man came up when it was too late. -If the boy had
been on the seat, the accident would probably not have hap-
pened. The rope was a yard from the end of the seat.
Mr. Catterns raid it was the duty of the pierman to let go
the rope when the word was given by the captain.
Mr. Frederick Nicolle, one of the surgeons at Charing-cross
Hospital, proved the reception of the deceased shortly atter the
accident on Monday evening. On examination he found the
left foot had been torn from its socket, and that his right thigh
had been fractured and collapsed. The flesh had sustained
great injury. The fractured limb was amputated below the
knee on Tuesday. On Wednesday there were signs of mortifi-
cation, and further amputation higher up the leg was had re-
course to. On Friday he found it had extended to the right
thigh (the maimed limb being the left one). He gradually
sank, and died that evening at eight o'clock. He was sensible
up to the time of his death, at which time his parents were with
him. He did not seem to suffer much pain. He attributed his
death to the violent nature of the wound, and to the inflamma-
ble turn which it took.
James Stewart, the pierman, was next examined. He could
not say who fastened the rope to the Prince of Wales. It was
his duty to do so, but there were so many boats there at the
time, which rendered it quite impossible that he could attend to
all He could not say whether the engines of the Moonlight
were moving at the time of the accident or not. He let go the
rope at the stern of the boat, not that in the bows where the
accident occurred, when the word was given.
After much conversation, it was agreed to adjourn the in-
quiry until this day at seven o'clock.

With the exception of a solitary bet of 1,500 to 30 against
the Peri colt for the Derby, the business transacted yesterday
afternoon was exclusively on the St. Leger, two or three at-
tempts to commence proceedings on the Great Yorkshire
Handicap, at Doncaster, having wholly failed. Weatherbit—
he might, with great propriety, be re-christened " Weather-
cock"—was again in favour. The outlay, it is true, was small,
but the feeling was "undeniable," and he very nearly regained
the premiership. Miss Sarah, however, was backed, on the
whole, for a good stake, and throughout the afternoon bad an
unequivocal call. The betting touched every horse in the
market save Old England, and showed a marked disposition in
favour of The Baron and Duc au Durres. Mentor, the Merry
Monarch, and Red Robin, were backed for two or three hun-
dred pounds each, but were not really in force. Latest prices :

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The past meeting at Yolk has done great credit
to the inhabitants, and to every one engaged in the
management of it. The Great Ebor Handicap, after the.
withdrawal of Lightning, The Shadow, and Vol au-
Vent, was left entirely to the Infant and Coheiress, the
latter winning cleverly. I saw nothing likely to beat
Coheiress but the Infant, who ran very badly. The
Great Yorkshire Stakes went to Miss Sarah in a
canter. I did not expect to see her nearer than third, as,
to my eye, she did not seem to be exactly in trim ; her
running for the Oaks over such a trying course and
finishing well, elevated her in my opinion ; if my readers
remember, I advised them to keep an eye upon this
animal after its running at Epso,n, which advice I can-
not do better than urge them to adopt, for it is very
evident that the Doncaster St. Leger will not be won by
Weatherbit, Kedger, or the Merry Monarch, who are as
good as boiled. Annandale, Pam, John Davis, the
Lancashire Witch, Winchilsea, The Hermit, Plaudit,
Coeur de Lion, Old England, and Little John, Ere nearly
in as bad a plight, as far as regards their chance of
winning the great northern event. The only animals that
are likely to cut a figure to some purpose are, Pantasa,
Mentor, Midlothian, The Baron, Worthless, Miss
Sarah, and Red Robin, dark blue and red cap,
or yellow for the winning colour.
Some sport, in a small way, will be found at Egham on
Tuesday and Wednesday, which, of its kind, will be
first rate.
On Tuesday the Gold Cup will go to Lord G. Ben
tinck or Mr. Ramsbotham • with John o' Gaunt or Pine-
apple. The New and Old' Windsor Stakes are destined
for Elemi or the Mus colt. A5O sovs. Match between
Mr. Greville's Trump, and Mr. Whiteturst's Eleanor,
will be won by the former. A Plate of 40 sovs. is des-
tined fur Sir S. Spry, with Subduer. The Runnymede
Stakes to Velox.
On Wednesday the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes,
with four acceptances, will have Pineapple, 5 yrs, 7st
91b, for winner; and the Devil-among-the-Tailors, 6 yrs,
sst 101 b, second. The Amateur Stakes look well for
Coal Black Rose or Karr.ac. The Queen's Plate of 100
guineas will be won by one out of Kent's stable. The
Egham Stakes ought to be won by the Devil to Pay. A
Sweepstakes of 25 soya. each will be won by Eleanor,
Strike-a-Light second.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—Mr. Remington has replied to my letter.
He is kind enough to say in the opening that if any
expressions condemnatory of the course taken by me
have been used by any parties, they have not been pub-
lished by him or with his privity or consent.
I was compelled to vindicate myself against a charge
as absurd as it is untrue.

To repel a charge of stealing Mr. Remington's line, I
was obliged to use arguments to show the absence of all
inducement to do it, and for that purpose I was obliged
to show that Mr. Remington had asked the several sums
of 2,3, 4, and 5 millions of money to make his line.
That he had varied that line.

That he bad subsequently started a London and Man-
chester, and York line, asking 7,000,000/. to make
the two.
That he might as well have charged the London and
York Company with having stolen their line, as charge
me with stealing a line to Manchester.
Mr. Remington does not deny asking for the various
sums of money which I have mentioned to accomplish
the sane line.
Either his julgment was unsound, or he varied what
he calls his line, as often as he asked different sums.
I have founded my statements on documents issued by
himself.

Mr. Remington says, I quote his own words—
"ln 1840 it was proposed to carry out the scheme
alone between London and Manchester, for which I
thought then, and think now, 4,000,0001. sufficient."
If he thinks so now, how can he reconcile with that
opinion his prospectus, to which I refer him in the
Morning lici atl of the 23d of May last, asking for
2,000,0001. only, in 40,000 shares of 50/. each.
How does he reconcile with this his improved judg-
ment, asking 3,000,0001.?
Or his sounder judgment, asking four ?
With his present opinion, that 4,000,0001. are enough,
why does he ask 5,000,0001. ?
I have published no names in support of the line to
which I have been appointed solicitor, but such as were
given to mein or subsequent to June of this year.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant.

MANCHESTER SHARE MARKET.

The following is an interesting communication from Messrs.
Railton, of Manchester, respecting the share market :
" During the present week the share business in Man-
chester has been conducted in a more sensible and rational
manner than heretofore, by its separation from that impe-
tuous, pushing wildness noticed in our last. Railway
schemers, however, always on the alert for new "goes,"
quarter themselves, like tape-worm links, to engender
lengthened disease, and thus they now blazon their tinsel
pretensions through the southern publications, in juxtapo
sition with the firmly-established brilliancy of the fame of a
well-known railway director, while they tacitly hint to the
inhabitants of those distant localities, that they should follow
the example of the inhabitants of Manchester, who have, it
is stated, heaped, with, no doubt, grateful admiration, six-
teen hundred guineas worth of plate upon the bead of another
scion of the intuitive wonder-working genus of railway
perfection. Whilst this is taking place in the south, we be-
hold in the ncrth persons already weighed down with rail-
road premiums, inviting their friends and favourites to par-
take of the good things connected with provisional direc-
torship, of which themselves are already full to repletion.
This kindness and consideration gives the echit of a better
and more attractive variety of names than repeating the
same set too often. ' Golden returns without personal
trouble, beyond opening your purse-strings for the first-
fruits,' might be their cry—reckless of the deluded sufferers
that must bring up the rear. It is pretty well-known how
sharply and extensively the share markets have, of late,
been haunted by the ghosts of scrip, and the fearful hob-
goblins are not yet laid. Railroad proceedings, in their most
desirable form fir public utility and sound attraction for the
outlay of capital, should take their origin and be carried for-
ward by those most interested in the neighbourhoods in
which they will run ; and not by windy busy-bodies, whose
leading object is to carry off the easy sweets, and cast the
sours behind, upon the most extensive scale; and the sooner
such itinerants are shouldered back to their own localities,
the better will their earlier habitual vocations flourish, and
all other interests be more likely to harmonise in that good
and honourable fellowship now so much required."

SOUTHWARK ELECTION.
MEETING OF SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTH'S
FRIENDS.

A meeting of the supporters of Sir William Molesworth was
held last evening, at seven o'clock, at the Bricklayers' Arms,
Old Kent-road, to hear an address from that gentleman in
exposition of his political principles, and to take measures to
secure his return to Parliament. Mr. John Donkin was called
to the chair.
The CHAIRMAN made a few observations relative to the
business of the meeting, after which he introduced Sir William
Molesworth.
Sir WILLIAM MOLISWORTH on rising to address the meet-
ing was received with great cheering. He addressed him-
self first to the circumstances which had led to his being
brought forward as a candidate for the representation. On
being applied to, he asked the question, was it probable that
the Liberal interest would unite in him? The answer was,
that after the merits of several candidates had been fully can•
vassed at several meetings of the electors, they had selected
hilt in preference. He then at once consented to come for-
ward.—( Cheers.) Since then the Maynooth question had
arisen, on which much irritable feeling had been excited. Ile
was sorry, however, to say, that many had not seen the political
necessity of that measure, and that the sense of justice to Ire-
land had not led to a more liberal construction of that
grant. It was, however, no wish of his to blink this question,
and he would at unce say, had he been in Parliament, he
should have supported that grant as an educational measure,
and as a measure of state policy.—(Cheers.) He was gene-
rally opposed to grants of public money for ecclesiastical pur-
poses ; but, under the peculiar circumstances of Ireland, he
thought it was wise to allow that grant. It was a contract
entered into at the time of the Union, that a sum of money
should be applied for the support of an institution to educate
the Roman Catholic priesthood. The grant was to prevent
the priesthood of that country from going :abroad to be edit-
csted, and there acquiring principles obnoxious to the Go-
vernment at home. The Hon. Baronet here went into de-
tails on this subject in terms precisely similar to those
we have given in former reports. He regretted
his views had not given satisfaction to some parties in the
borough, who had gone so far as to prefer the return of a Tory
to a Whig• Radical, as he had been called. Himself and friends,
however, did not participate in those feelings, for he would much
rather prefer the return of Mr. Miall than that nondescript po-
litician, without principles and without opinions, Mr. Pitcher.
If any means could be adopted by which the sense of the Libe-
ral interest could be taken as to which candidate was most ac-
ceptable to it, be should be glad ; and he would pledge himself
to abide by any arrangement that might be come to, so as to
prevent any division in the borough, and the return of a Tory.
The Hon Baronet then went into a general statement of his
political views on the corn-laws and free trade, the suffrage,
triennial Parliaments, vote by ballot, &c., in effect, similar to
what we have previously given ; and concluded by expressing
himself willing to answer any question.—(Cheers.)
An ELECTOR asked if he was willing to allow the colonies
to send representatives to Parliament?
Sir Wm. Monsswoarii answered, that considering the im-
mense distance of many of our colonies, he would not pledge
himself to support them sending Members here, but he would
advocate their having the freest possible Government at home.
This would be much better than to give them a mere factitious
representation by sending members here from the antipodes.
Mr. SMITH said that he considered Sir Wm. Molesworth a
renegade, as he had formerly supported universal suffrage.
Sir W. MOLISWORTII denied this. He had never sup-
ported universal suffrage. Even at Leeds, where there were
more Chartists than in this borough, he had never yielded to
that cry to gain their support. He was favourable to the
fullest extension of the suffrage as education and intelligence
advanced.
Mr. BERTON moved a resolution to the effect, that after
hearing Sir W. Molesworth in explanation of his political
principles, the meeting considered him eminently qualified to
represent the borough in Parliament.
Captain Hawicilsos seconded the mutton.
On the Chairman rising to put the resolution, a person, who
gave his name as John Smith, rose to move an amendment.
Objection was taken to his speaking, as not being an elector.
On the question being put direct to him, he declared that he
was one, when he was allowed to proceed.
The amendment being seconded was put, and negatived, and
the original resolution carried by a large majority.
The meeting, after a vote of thanks bad been tendered to
the Chairman, separated.
