Meat is now selling in Jersey at 6d. per pound,
fowls 9d. and ducks at Is. each.
The wheat harvest has commenced in several
places in the neighbourhood of Stamford, and in ge-
neral the crops are abundant and good. At Pinch-
beck, and many other-parishes in the Fens, they have
begun to cut oats, and it is pronounced that better
crops were seldom known.
Waxnorm, Atm. 27.—The late blight has been
much less injurious to the wheat than has been sup-
posed, and has mostly tended to discolour the straw
only. The hops are very luxuriant and particularly
bright, and are likely to be abundant. The old duty
is now estimated at upwards of £147,000. The late
rains, instead of being hurtful, as was feared, have
done much good.
Last week, as a lad in the employ of Mr. Brown
Hearn, of Heasley Firm, in the Isle of Wight, was
feeding a threshing machine, he unfortunately got
both his hands entangled, and before the horses could
be stopped, they were mangled in so shocking a manner
as to vender amputation necessary.
ULLAPOOL, AUGUST 15.—The herring fishery, during last
week, at Loch Esbreckie, was from four to no crans per boat,
each night, 01 large milts and roe. They are much of the same
quality as those that are generally caught on the Caithness coast.
it takes 700 to the packed barrel. There are 100 sail of fishing
vrsiels at I.och Esbreckie.

CAMPIELTOW, AUQUST lg.—The herring fishing, for some
time pan, and at present, in this district, is doing well. The boats
in general have from one to six trans a-night.

Some disturbances took place on Monday week, at
Havre-de-Grace,on account of the exportation of corn.
A small quantity, amounting to about 100 quarters,
having been shipped for a house at Southampton, the
people assembled to the number of about 3(X), and
after using many violent expressions, proceeded to cut
holes in the sacks containing the wheat. The Mayor
of the town interfered, and after having in vain en-
deavoured to disperse the mob by the civil power, he
was under the necessity of calling in the aid of the
military, who secured 15 or 16 of the offenders, and
commuted them to prison ; by this means he dis-
persed the rioters. Two English sailors were much
beaten and bruised by some of the people, in the even-
ing. A great spirit of virulence is discovered by the
lower classes of the populace against the English, who
can scarcely walk the street without being insulted.
A droll circumstance occurred last week at the
Custom-house, Portsmouth : Some of those nume-
rous Punch provision - sellers who daily arrive,
brought over some' loaves of bread, which they
pretended were for sale, and which they had with
them at the Customhouse. One of the persons em-
ployed there, in passing by some of the French people,
jocosely struck a loaf with a stick, when it divided,
and out flew a pair of silk stocking: ! Of course, this
was the signal for searching the remainder of the
loaves, which were 40 in number, and prolific enough
to produce no less than 36 pair of silk stockings.—
They were all seized, and the embarrassment of the
bread-sellers may be better conceived than described.
Na long since, amongst their dead stock, a turkey
was found stuffed with fine lace. These are only
two instances among the ingenuities to which those
people resort, in order to conceal their contraband
goals.
The signal post at the Platform in Portsmouth
w:11 be retained, and the tali-apt, on theGlacis, pad
those at the intervening dis,anct , to Londou, wilt be
aticoiltinged after the 24th September.
