CANTERBURY, Auourr 4.

The weather has been so favourable For the operations of the
Harvest, that the Wheat crop is generally secured in this neighbour-
hood in the best condition ; and from the information we can col-
lect, it is above an average crop, but not quite se fine in quality as
the crop of last year. A great quantity of the Spring corn is also
well housed,which is considered, from the long drought, to be below
an average crop, particularly Beans and Pease, which will be found
very deficient. The Hop Plantations are generally very promising

in appearance.
A ludicrous affair occurred with one of the Margate coaches the
other evening :—An unpleasant intruder in hot weather having
been placed on the coach, from the excessive heat of the
weather, could no .longer contain itself, when the ivhule contents
of a large cask of yeast were soon exploded among the passengers,
to the great annoyance and distress of many fair damsels, who were
completely bespattered and clothed with the distracted element.

IPSWICH. A VOUXT 4.
.r.-.
CONSISTORY COURT OF NORWICH.

CUFFLEY, THE WIFE U. CUFFLEY, THE HUSBAND.

This was a case of divorce a mensa et thoro, by reason
of cruelty and adultery, promoted by Mrs. Sarah Ann
Cuilley against her husband, John Robert Cuffiey. The
case on the part of the complainant set forth acts of
violence committed by the husband, which a ere proved
by the testimony of the female servants, who lived with
the parties from or about the time of the marriage in
February, 1821, until the time of the separation of the
parties,in December, 1822. Evidence was also adduced
of adultery committed by the husband. The Court
gave judgment for the complainant, and decreed a di-
vorce a mensa et thoro, as prayed by Mrs Cuffiey, and
condemned the defendant in costs. The Chancellor, in
delivering judgment, recapitulated the depositions of the
several witnesses, and decided that the complainant had
fully established the charge of cruelty, and that the
charge of adultery was so sufficiently made out as to
entitle the complainant to the redress for which she
'applied to the Court. He also decided that the defend-
ant had failed in proving the charge of adultery alleged
by him against .the complainant, and stated that with
respect to the evidence of William Keeble, he must put
that out of consideration, for it was clear that he was
the mere tool of the defendant, and his testimony was
so improbable as to entitle him to no credit, and de-
clared he fek no doubt whatever in his own mind of
the justice of the sentence he pronounced, that Mrs.
Cuffity was entitled to the divorce for which she prayed.
The Gentleman who tougni a tidal duel on the verge
of Windsor Forest, on Saturday last, turns out be a Mr. Cosirrox,
who lived retired at Benfield Heath, Berk:, near where the duel
took place.
The accounts from the country continue to be fa-
vourable-
ThiS day being the commencement of the oyster sea-
sons the streets and lanes in the neighbourhood of Billingsgate,
at a very early hour, presented an animated scene, front the im-
mense number of persons assembled for the purpose of procuring
the oysters. At the ringing of the market-bell for breaking bulk,
the ru,h to get on board the boats was tremendous ; five men and
two women fell overboard, bat all were picked up except one man.
The average Wee of oysters is 16s. a bushel.
