RESULT OF THE HARVEST.

The harvest being now considered as concluded, we
beg to lay before our Readers the result of such obser-
vations and inquiries as may furnish a tolerably correct
idea of the produce of the present season.
WHEAT.—The weather during the progress of the
harvesthas been, upon the whole, equal to the best wishes
of the farmer, and the grain, taken generally, is well
harvested. Wheat, the most important of the different
descriptions of pulse, is, without doubt, a full average
crop, in quantity, throughout the three kingdoms. In
the home counties, however, the quality of this grain
has suffered in comparison with that of last year ; in
this particular the milers have been disappointed in
their expectations. Much, icdeed the larger proportion,
comes to market in a very cold and damp state, from
being, in our opinion, hurried' too qui:l.;/ out of the,
fields, or perhaps cot prematurely. We have not seen"
any new wheat from Scotland, but our accounts from
that country represent the quality as unusually fine.—
The new already exported from Ireland, of which we
have seen several parcels, is not so good as we antici-
pated; the samples, like many of our own growth,
being cold and damp—but our correspondent there
leads us to expect better things presently. In quantity,
as we have already stated, we think the present year
may fairly equal the last : in quality, we think it de-
cidedly inferior, and we should not hazard too much in
saying, that the average weight of the whole growth of
the three kingdoms will be found full 21b. per bushel
lighter than that of last year.
Batmee.—Barley, notwithstanding the gloomy fore-
bodings excited by its appearance on the ground, will
yet turn out better than was expected. It is repre.
rented to be a fair crop both in Scotland and Ireland.
The quality, however, even from the same districts,l
varies considerably. We have seen three samples, all'
grown within the circuit of two miles, which have varied
in value, one with the other, full ss. per quarter. Whe-
ther the produce of this grain will be enough for our
consumption, is a problem yet to be solved—for our-
selves, we freely contess, we think not.
OATS.—This article is not a good crop in England,
either in quantity or in weight. In Scotland it is a fair
average growth ; and the same may be said of Ireland,
or perhaps something over an average in quantity, but
in weight considerably lighter than last year. The
growth of the three kingdoms will, we ire inclined to
think, be found sufficient for their consumption; but
this must particularly depend upon the result of the
potatoe-crop in Scotland and Ireland: the late rains
may have been serviceable to this root, yet all the ac-
counts we have hitherto received from those countries
represent this crop as a decided failure.
Beans are universally a short growth—the quality of the new
are, however, good.

Peas are also a short growth ; but we think they will turn out t•
be more productive than beams.

Letters from Gibraltar of the ISth of September,
mention that the Sicilian Consul had received an express,
stating that the Emperor of Moaocco would imme-
diately declare war against Sicily, Tuscany, Austria,
Prussia, and the Hanle Towns, on account of there
laving no resident Consuls in Morocco from these States.
The condition of his MaJarry's maritime force throws,
however, an air of ridicule over this wholesale warfare.
His navy consisted only of one schooner.
It appears by advices received by the Hero, arrived
from Bombay, de:el May 15th, that Sir A. CAMPXELL'S
division had made good a junction with General Cos.-
TON'S brigade before Donebew, and that &general attack
was intended to be made on the fort on the Sd of April.
The Magistrates of Selborne, Hants, were a few days
ago occupied in the investigation of a complaint made
by a female pauper, named Sutton, an inmate in the
parish poor-house, against Henry Eade, a guardian of
the poor, and John Neale, the governor of the poor-
house. It appeared from the statement of the com-
plainant, that when in an advanced state of pregnancy,
and seriously indisposed, she had, as a punishment for
some fault,rhich she had committed, been chained to
a wall on the 9th ult. for three hours, and the seat
which is sometimes allowed to paupers so chained,
taken from her. The Magistrates recommended the
defendants to give 51. to the girl, by way of contpen-
sation, but having refused to comply with the recom-
mendation, they were bound over to appear at the
Sessions to take their trial for the assault.
Wednesday night, a fire broke out at 13, Little Saf-
fron-hill, and threatened destruction to those poor fa-
milies who are crowded in the neighbourhood. The
fire originated in a back cellar, where a man, named
Dukes, carried on an illicit trade as a glass-blower.—'
A considerable quantity of his stock was saved, but it
was immediately taken possession of by the Excise.
The Criminal Tribunal of the Canton of Baden have
lately condemned a mechanic, aged 65, and the father.
Of fear children. to ten years' hard labour at the galleys,
and four years' banishment, for the crime of Incest
wish his eldest daughter, aged 16. The girl is also
condemned to four years' hard labour, and to solitary
confinement till hetVBti3 year..
