RONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
• (From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very quiet..
2,009 bale, without any change of prices. The Scotch
Exchange was closed.
The commercial letters received this morning by the mer-
chants connected with the East India and China trade are of
a satisfactory character. The demand far British manufac-
tures is on the increase, and it is satisfactory to find that the
Chinese are gradually becoming purchasers of British fabric's.
It appears, by accounts received from Canterbury, that a
most influential meeting was held there on Monday last, at
which Sir I. L. Goldsmid was present, for the purpose of
taking the most active steps to obtain the assent of Parlia-
ment to a projwt started lest year for railway communica-
te u between London and Dover direct through Canterbury,
&c. It was unanimously resolved that the direct line, as
surveyed by Mr. ViF,molles, was most adapted to suit the in-
terests of the districts to pass through, and resolutions in
support of the North Kent line were cordially adopted.
It will be observed by an advertisement in another column
of the Sun, that much interest is taken in the establishment
of a Central Cornwall and Devon line of railway. Many
years ago, a company was formed to carry out in part this
important object, and a considerable sum of money was
spent in making the necessary surveys. Circumstances, how-
ever, occurred which retarded the intentions of the original
company, but, which, under the auspices of the newly in-
tended 11e, will no doubt be carried into speedy operation.

FAMPOIJX AND HAZEBROUCK
RAILWAY.
The first general meeting of the shareholders of this rail-
_
way was held this afternoon at the offices of Mr. Benham,
the solicitor to the Company, iu Austin-friars, for the pur-
pose of receiving the report of the Directors upon the pros-
_
124, perity of the undertaking.
The chair was taken at three o'clock by Andrew Spottis-
_
woode, Esq., and the usual formalities having been gone
through, the report was read by the Secretary, from which it
appeared that the line had been obtained for 37 years awl
316 days ; that the road now possessed by the Company
left the Great Trunk Line at Fampoux or suburb of
Arras, and passing near Lens, Aleryille, and through
Bethune, terminated at Hazebrouck, the whole dis-
- tance being 54 kilometres; at this place the branch
line of the Great Trunk Line from Calais and Dunkirk meet
the line belonging to the Company, which would afford a
- shorter road to the metropolis then. by Lille and Douai. The
present line ranked riot- only among.t he richest, but the most
compact lines of France. From the engineer's report it
slionfe
any
brieeoanrlyeaornefeolnlyiilslurionveo;of fdra,nacnadbtellioolrve tlliveerceanpoit
would appear that the estimate of the expenditure was
adliflicrunheie
4 importance to overcome. The prospects of the Company would
be considerably brightened when the projected North Kent
Railroad was opened, as travellers would then, in all probabi-
lity, go from Dover to Calais, and onwards by the Fampoux
line. Until the opening of the line, interest at the rate of
four per cent. would be paid on the paid-up capital.
The CHAIRMAN said, at the conclusion of the reading of
the report, that it was totally unnecessary for him to say a
, word on the affairs of the Company, as the report was so ex-
plicit on that subject. Captain Chamier, who had just arrived
from Paris, was present, and would be happy to answer the
questions of any Proprietors.-
Captain :CRASHER was happy to inform the Shareholders
--
- that they were engaged with the most respectable Committee
in France. It was generally thought when they came in
contest with the Rothschilds that they would lose their line,
but the high character of the gentlemen forming their Com-
- mittee saved it. He could assure the Shareholders that they
would form a most erroneous notion of the value of their
shares if they looked to the quotations in the London news-
papers, in all of which they were quoted at different
prices, and in same as low as fifteen or sixteen francs;
- the real fact was, they were at 33 and 36 francs.— (Hear,
hear.) He had no hesitation in saving that the line would
pay at least 6 per cent. ; and the
engineer had reported to
him that if the winter should turn out to be a mild one, it
would be completed in a year; added to this, the Minister of
- Public Works had promised hint that the line should be
- placed on the same footing as the Great Northern. The
superiority f this line was great over many others, and its
merits only wanted to be more known to ensure its being not
only a successful, but excellent enterprise.
Several qu: stions having been put by different Proprietors
hami ' •
316 to Captain (ier, and satisfactorily answered, thanks were
voted to the Chairman and the Gallant Catain, and the
meeting separated. p
THE HARVEST---THE WEATHER.
OXFORD, SEPT. 20.—The harvest is nearly over in this
neighbourhood, and the corn generally has been stored in
--
- pretty good condition; and luckily it is so, for the weather
since Saturday last has been very
unfavourable, heavy rains
having fallen, with little intervals of sunshine. This has
proved a great check to the getting in the beans, and the
remainder of the oats. The clover has been got up in capital
order, and being beyond an average crop, will add very con-
- siderably to the stock of hay; and the fodder and grass being
_ plentiful, there will be plenty of hay next winter to supply
the markets. The wheat crop is quite an average one, though
the corn-dealers say the sample will not be so fine, or the
4 quality so good as last year, when the yield was most ex.
cellent. The barley crop has far exceeded that of
several years past, and is allowed on all hands to be far
above the average. The same may, in many districts, be
said of oats; they are well up in quantity, and the quality
will be good. Beans and Peas are also plentiful. Turnips
are very plentiful, but if the wet weather continue, great
fears will be entertained for the preservation of them,
_ many farmers being fearful that they shall be unable
to keep them from getting mouldy. Mangel-wurzel,
of which large quantities are grown in this county,
looks remarkably strong and healthy, and is not in the least
affected. Carrots, of which also large quantities are grown,
have not at present been touched with the disease which, we
are sorry to say, is scr prevalent and destructive to the potato
: crops. Many fields of potatoes that were but slightly
touched a week or two ago are now scarce worth the trouble
of digging up. In several cases where they have been taken
up it has been feund that those which were healthy at first
have become diseased after they have been out of the ground
- a few days, and although carefully picked apart at first, an-
other loss has taken place on looking over them again.-
- Corn Market: old wheat fitched to-day from 141. to 141.,
with plenty of buyers; new, from 111. to 121. 10s. ; barley,
235. to 345. ; oats were at least 2s. per quarter higher; beans
- sold at 12/. and 13/. ; peas varied from 9/. to 11/. The wheat
- trade, owing to the presence of several speculators from the
- metropolitan and other counties, was unusually brisk; no
sooner was a sample shown than it was eagerly purchased.
The millers and bakers in consequence of the rise in wheat
clapped 3s. per sack on flour, so that there is every prospect of
• the loaf being still much dearer.
STIRLINGSHIRE.—We have had another week of good har-
vest weather, making now twenty-three days, all of which
have been pod working-days, with the exception of Saturday
last, which was mostly wet throughout, and therefore no-
: thing was done in th-e fields. The present will be a bread
• year, come of the potatoes what will; it will also be a turnip
• year, which will produce beef and mutton; and these with
bread in galore, whether wheaten, oaten, or barley, make
• capital cheer. Rain began to fall again yesterday at mid-
: day, and continued very constant and heavy till six o'clock
• in the evening, and is still threatening—Stirling Observer.
AYILSHIRE.—The weather, which has for some time past
' been everything the husbandman could desire, broke on
Saturday last, and since then we have had frequent showers,
some of them pretty heavy, though not of long continuance.
We still receive from our correspondents throughout the
county accounts of the further spread of the potato blight,
and likewise of the general progress of harvest operations.
We understand that Professor Johnson has been in Ayrshire,
endeavouring to trace the course and extent of this distress-
ing occurrence, and of course his report will be anxiously
looked for.—Ayr Advertiser.
A correspondent, who is a practical agriculturist of consi-
derable skill and experience, has taken exception to a re-
mark made by us last week. He says that for one farmer
who has been dilatory in getting hi his wheat, there are
twenty who have been in much too great a hurry about that
important operation—that the consequence is that a large
quantity of wheat has been get together in a premature state,
whereby loss in quantity and inferiority in quality will be ex-
perienced at threshing time—and lie further informs us that
the advice which has been given to farmers at agricultural
fi meetings, arid by writers in agricultural publications, namely,
to commence reaping before the wheat crop is fully ripe, is
erroneous and mischievous. We are sorry, also, to be in-
formed from the same authority that our anticipations of the
result of the present year's produce have been expressed too
favourably—the ears of corn are, he states, to a great extent
very defective, and will by no means realise • the promise
which they hold forth to the e 3; of_ a superficial examiner.

hope that Way be less true than we fear it to be.'--GlOucester

ULVERSTON, SEPT. 18.—Since last Saturday evening we
have had very broken weather, rain every eight or twelve
hours, but neatly during the night except yesterday. liar •
vest operatlins have gone on with little interruption. To-
(lay hursday) the sample loads put down in our market
exceeded those of the past three weeks; there were about 61
of wheat, and of ea's 'about 37. Millers and dealers came for-
ward freely on opening the sample loads of wheat, yet the
gelling :was rather tedious, particularly where the sample
proved less desirable. Selling prices 6(1. to la. less than laid
week, arising more from the number than the demand, which
was good, and all were sold. For oats a disposition to make
early purchases appeared general, and the attendance of mil-
lers and dealers appeared more numerous than on previous
weeks.—Kendal Mercury.
The corn .cropi are nearly won on the banks of the Tees.
From the banks of the Coquet we have received the following
brief report ; -1." The weather has now become beautiful, and
The fields of grain are fist coming to the sickle. Little wheat,
however, is vet cut, except in Bamburghshire and aping the
coast. Where the crops have been long lodged, the deficiency
of yield and inferior quality of sample will be found great.
Reapers are plentiful, and obtain Is. 6d. per day, with vic-
tuals." Since this was written we have had heavy rains.—

CITAILMOUTIL—In this and the neighbouring parishes the
different sorts of grain have generally been securely housed.
They field of wheat is, in almost every instance, much less
than it was last year, and the sample very inferior. Parley
is most abundant. The potato crop is a sad affair, as there is
scarcely a field that has not been attacked by the distemper
so prevalent throughout the land.—Somerret County Gazette.
A change has occurre.l in the weather in the neighbour-
hood, and we presume that it pervades the whole country,
calculated to excite serious apprehensions respecting that
portion of the wheat and barley and potato crops which re-
main in.the fields. During the last three or four days rain
has fallen to the depth of nearly an inch and a half. Yes-
terday the rain hardly ceased throughout the day; and we
regret to say that there is no immediate prospect of a return
of dry weather. The temperature has, however, fallen barely
a degree. In the south and west of England, little grain re-
mains abroad, but in the more backward parts of the country
the sickle has hardly be-n called into activity. Thus the
weather is still an object of solicitude, not only as regards
wheat, but especially' with reference to the potato crop. A
continuance uf rain would rapidly extend the disease which
has destroyed or rendered unsaleab:e so many of these escu-
lents —Bath Gazette.
For the last eight days the weather has been unsettled.
We stated in our last that a weather prophet of reputation, at
present resident in Jersrv, had predicted a winter of severe
storm and tempest. His prediction, uttered as it was before
the storm of the last few 'days had as yet shown any indica-
tion of its coming, seems destined to be realised, and so far
as physical appearances would seem to foreshadow, the storm
which has now begun will continue some time before we wit-
ness its departure. It has been frequently observed that
should gales supervene about the period of the equinoxes,
considerable reliance may be placed upon the probability of a
piotracted course of boisterous weather, and farmers amt
others acquainted with this fact always conduct their opera-
tions , with a prudent feresight. We understand that the
western districts of England during the lagt eight days have
been visited with weather equally boisterous with that which
we have ourselves experienced ; but that in themore noiehern
quarters of the empire scarcely a drop of rain has fallen within
the last three weeks. In this we recognise a benevolent dis-
pensation of Providence, for the harvest being always later
in that district of the country, opportunity is thus afforded to
the tillers of the soil to gather in their produce.—Jeasey Times.
Harvest operations have been in a great measure sus-
pended this week, owing to the inclement state of the wea-
ther. Monday and Tuesday were dull, raw, and unfavour-
able days, and on Wednesday rain fell in torrents, render-
ing out-door labour cut of the question. A considerable
quantity of rain also fell on Thursday morning, and the at-
mosphere was very chilly during the day. Yesterday, how
ever, we are happy to say a change for the better took
place—the sun shining from its rising till its setting, in a
beautiful . blue sky.. Repor:s from all parts of the country
as to the state. of the crops are of the most cheering descrip-
tion. A sheet continuance of warmth and sunshine, which
we hope for, will insure more than an average harvest.—
Scotch Reformer's Gazette.
We are sorry we cannot say the present week has been
a favourable one for harvest operations. Monday and
' Tuesday were-tolerably favourable days 1.,r out-door work,
but on both Wednesday and 'Thursday, and particularly
during the nights of both these days, the rain fell in tor-
rents. Friday was a splendid day in every respect, and
such was the. strength of the sun and wind during the fore-
noon, that in several cases the farmers commenced " lead-
ing in" by the after part of the day. Everywhere the
fields present a splendid appearance. They are thickly
studded with stooks, and many parks are to-day crowded
with busy reapers. On the whole, we should say, there is
as near as may be one-third of the crop yet to cut.
Glasgow Post. •

lip to Wednesday evening the weather has been every,.
thing that the farmer could wish—warm, bright, and breezy,
and harvest operations were going rapidly on. The fields
were covered wi h numerous bands of reapers, before •whom
the golden grain was quickly filling, and as rapidly rising
again in the large and thickly planted stooks. On. Wednes-
day, however, the atmosphere became overcast, and in the
course of the evening rain began to fall, and continued with
little intermission throughout the night and during yester-
day. This will retard the ingathering of the crop for some
days •, but, with a few weeks more of fair weather, the whole
will be secured in good condition. -We regret to learn that
a disease of a peculiar description is very prevalent in the
potato crop throughout the country, and that it has made
its appearance in several fields in this district. The disease
is quite inexplicable. A fine field of bear was cut lest week
at Achriaehan, in the neighbourhood of Tomantoul, one of
the highest districts of Banffshire. We are sorry_ to learn
that in many of the higher glens and straths a pretty severe
frost was experienced on the nights of Wednesdayand Thurs-
day last week. In many places, particularly in low marshy
situations, the potatoes have been very much injured, the
steins being completely withered down. In these places
some partial injury has been done to the grain crop, but the
injury has been limited to small localities. —Elgin Courant.
