Friday, at Ruthergien Fair, there was but an in-

sales were dull.
leverreess, Ana. 30.—Barley harvest commenced
last week in Stratherzick, which is earlier than it ever
has been known in that district of the country. This.
however, may be ascribed to the improved mode
of culture, which we are happy to find is makieg
rapid progress even in the most remote parts et
the Highlands. Barley harvest here is become gene-
ral, although thi weather fur some days past has
been very unfavourable.
Cattle still continue to fetch good prices at the
different markets throughout the North, although
the demand is not so brisk as at the beginning of
the season.
At Marymass fair of Ellon, held on Wednesday
se'nnight, there was a great shew of fine cattle, many
of which were sold, and maintained the highest prices.
A small quantity of blirley, of this year's growth,
was last week imported into Ayr, from Stranraer.
The anneal timber market held at Aberdeen, on

been known for a number of years ; the prices were
in consequence greatly reduced from the rates of the
preceding market, and a small quantity of timber re-
mained unsold.
Tuesday se'nnight, John Kay. of Wooler, mason,

and left that place about two o'clock on Tuesday
to, go to Rosedon. When the body was found on
Wednesday morning, there were several stabs in
die back and neck, and a laige hole in the head,
something like the blow horn a pick-axe. A man
was apprehended at Morpeth, on the Wednesday,

Tuesday night, as a young man was crossing from
the end of the Old Bailey to Giltspur-street, going to
St. Bartholomew Fair, he was thrown down by the
pale of a hackney-coach, and trampled under the

taken to the hospital in a dangerous st..te.
Saturday, about one o'clock, a fire was discovered
in a house on the north side of Jarnes/s.sqiiare, Edin-6
