The greatest quantity of herrings ever rememberei
to have been taken were caught off the harbour of
Donaghadee on Wednesday night. Some of the
boats were nearly filled within 500 yireli from the
pier-head. It was fortunate that they had a safe har-
bour at hand, as they were too deep to proceed to a
market at any distance. They found a ready sale at
10s, per maze.

The migration of sEoals of herrings southward,
has been observed to take place very early this year,
aad is considered, by fishermen, as an indication of a
hard winter.

A shark of considerable size was lately caught off
Weymouth.
• LONGEVITY or AN En..—An eel which had been
put into an open well, at Townend of Kilmarnock,
55 year* ago, was found dead on the 23d of last
month. Its length was 27 inches, and its ;ircusnfe-'
rence si;. The well was usually emptied and cleaned
once a year. when the eetwas put into a tub'of water,
and afterwards restored to the well. Theo was very
little difference in its size for the last 80 years. Its
death was occasioned by the well being much im-
pregnated with lime, in consequence of the water
being used for a new building in its vicinity; as the
eel was observed, a day or two before its death, near
the surface of the water, in a sickly condition. What
its age wis when put in cannot be ascertained, bat it
must have been considerable, asshad *tensed but
little in dm siace that time.

LANARKSHIRE, SCPTENIPER
We.rd of Lanarkshire there bas not yet been shearing;
but harvest, it is thought, w::1 he common by the end

• _
of the month. It is mac than three weAs b„ckward.

vr,Theat, oats, and barley seem to be fully a medinro
crap, but not a little depend; on getting it into the
stack yard in good order. The beans and peas were
very muca hurt by the continued rttins, end of JOT
and begianing of P...ugust, and rill not turn nat
nearly an average coup. Potatars, when tut ned up,
are extreinely numerous, from which itisalitabla root,
as there was a good quantity of it cultivated, much
benefit will be derive.!. Notwithstanding the long
dry cold weather in the spring, and the Seavy rains
in June and July, the hay has clone well, and has
yielded what the larmer think, a fair crop. The d airy
improved as the summer advanced, and has yielded
nearly the same as in ordinary years ; hut the com-
parattvely low prices makes is not so 'productive iu a
pecuniary point of view ; butter being from 10d. to
I'2.'. a pound, and cheese proportionably low. Tue.
Mps are doing well this season where they have been
sown, but they arc not much cultivated in this disa
met. Owing to theback ward hazy weather, apples,
although in great numbers, are late and very small;
pears are scarce, small, and late. Plumbs, however,
itar they promised in the spring, 'are in many places
a complete blank, while in others they ate abundant,
but late ; and, consequently, in much danger, should
the frost set in early. We are apiaised, by one of the -
best farmers ia the county, that the crop is likely to
be later in the higher districts of Scotland than ever it
was in the memory of man. [a the parish of Co.
ssington harvest is not expected so s,:en as the 4th of
O. tuber, the pt rind at which it began in the memo-
rabic. year 1782. 'file promise is, hoa ever, extreizely
fine in other respects, the oats being urrcoarmOnly
strong and yet not lodged. On very wet ground,
however, the crop is slight as well as late.
wid he shorn, on early spots, in ten d.iys. Potatoes.
on dry soils, are excelletit ; but cn the wet clay lands
sit the Middle Ward they are tench inhaior. Horses,
which, dui tag the war, rose so greatly above the level,
are now as much beneath it ; a year oat colt not
bringing more than 41. cr 45. a yoting horse, wl.ich
two years ago was worth ,Flat, not being saleahle at
£l5, and a C. %':ahltse, then worth :CO, not being
now in demand at aCrid. The cattle arc also very
cheap and a farm coald now be stocked for at art
halt the sum that would have been required before
the end of the war. There has not, however, bosh
any tall of moment in the rent of laad ; in canoe.
(pence, no doubt, of the Corn lull, and she rise the
value of grain.
EXTRAORDINARY CROP OF HAY.-..-The produce of
one acre and 37 perches of rye grass and red clover,
mixed, cut the 6th of July last, the property of Ws C.
Slater, Esq. of Broughton, near Carttbel, weighed
when housed (and in a very dry conditis.n) nine tons
12 cwt. and ttiree•quarters. Thevrbove gentlemaa
last week cut a very lull crop of barley, being the
first in the neighbourhood.
CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LAME, Suer. 11.-w• All the
Wheat fresh in on Mondry was disposed 00: there
was none on sale this morning but such as is in gra-
nary, of which there was a consideralde shew of
samples; and having a few country buyers at market,
Monday's prices were obtained, but the demand was
not brisk in consequence of the return of fine weather.
Batley, Peas, Beans, and Oats, fully support their
prices. Flour was raised ss. per sack towards the
close of Monday's market.

Five years ago, the weavers of Hamilton, in the
then protracted inactivity of commerce, consztucteil
the footway to Bothwell-bridge, rather than accept
as alms a sum th it had been raised in their behalf by
subscription. The same feelings of honest indepen-
dence are no ways abated by the hard trials they 114ee
since encountered, and they have again retuse4 to take
money for nothing, and are now beginning to earn a
sum subscribed for • their use by making a foot way
between Hamilton and Strathaven.

At a Meeting of the Magistrates in the division of
Marlborough, the Magistrates gave the inr.ket•pers
notice, that in consequence of the continued com-
plaints of the badness of their beer ; if their brewers
served them with bad, they were at liberty to brew it
themselves, or buy it wherever they pleased, and if
froth so doing they were turned out of their houses,
they would grant them neat year, a licence at other
houses, and, on no consideration renew that to the
one they had quitted 1 and that if after this notice
they persevered in selling bad beer, they would not
again be licensed.
The grand event depending on the Fart Price to
be drawn on Tureday Moraing Ned, has excited an
unusual interest in all classes of Adventnrers. The
certaialy of its being more than $310,000, and the
probability of its gaining Al'Bo,ooo, will of course in.
duce every person to risk a little for the chance of
gaining such a Prise. • Those who have not yet put
themselves in Finesse's soy, would do well to try
their luck at either of Waaa's Offices, 9, Cornhill,
17, Ludgate-street—which many persons have lately
tbund to be the Road is Ricks, 1857,000 in Capital
prim having been ahareaand sold there last Lottery.
