THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—During the las
fortnight the weather in these districts has been truly de-
lightful, with occasional slight refreshing and feeding
showers. The Whitsunweek holiday folks who visited
our tnwn and neighbourhood, in thousands upon thou-
sands, had a glorious time of it, and appeared to enjoy
themselves to the top of their bent. The river steam-

boats were crowded by these and-Oiler visitors every day
in the week; and the Cheshire side, as well as our own
Ireets, were unusually crowded and enlivened by crowds
gitv distinguishable strangers. The whole

W e re-

joice to say, on the authority of a practical gentleman ex-
tensively engaged in agriculture in this neighbourhood,
that the field crops have not for years looked more beau-
tiful and promising. The potatoes, too, have taken a
most extraordinary start—some in favourable localities
g already upwards of a foot in height, and in vigorous
'N. The thermometer for some days has ranged
high; but yesterday the temperature reached in the
middle of the day what might be termed "sultry."
About three in the afternoon the glass, under shade,
stood at 75 deg., and would, no doubt, have reached 80
deg. in the sun. There was some appearance of a down-
fall in the evening, but only a few large drops of rain fell.
Should the same warmth continue a little longer, we shall
probably have some thunder showers. The contrast in
temperature between the present time and about six
weeks ago is somewhat remarkable; for we had actually
hard frost in the morning, and snow on the Welsh hills,
on the 2lst of April.

INTREPIDITY. IN A Boy.—As several ragged little
urchins were throwing stones at two boys in a boat on the
Thames, near Blackfriars.bridge, one of them, in the act
of throwing, overbalanced himself, and fell into the water
from the bridge steps. The little fellow was instantly
carried under the arch by the tide, then running very
strong, when oce of the boys that had been assailed
plunged in from the boat, and succeeded in laying hold of
the child's clothes, but had not sufficient strength to keep
him above water; nothing daunted, he gallantly struck
out and swam to the pier, when he and his little charge
were rescued quite exhausted.

LAW AND JUSTICE.—It will possibly be in the recol-
lection of our readers that the Itev. Mr. Craig was lately
proceeded against in the Ecclesiastical Courts by a rich
Dissenter, who accused him of certain practices not only
unbecoming in a minister of religion, but highly disgrace-
ful to any man claiming to have a positionin decent,
civilized, and Christian society. After a long, a tedious,
and a most costly expenditure—after a long, a searching,
and a most impartial investigation—after an almost unpa
ralleled contest in which Mr. Craig was called upon to
disprove charges solemnly sworn to and against which it
was hardly possible to offer positive evidence—after all
this and very mnch more, Mr. Craig was pronounced
innocent of all and every charge laid against him, and he
was pronounced innocent and unimpeachable by the very
highest, the most solemn, and the most patient tribunal
in the empire—the House of Lords. In consequence of
Mr. Craig's bishop having lent his name to the prosecu-
tion. and thereby made himself liable to the costs it
adjudged to be paid by the accuser. each party has been
ordered to pay his own costs. The effect of this is that
Mr. Craig, though fully acquitted, has to pay a lawyer's
bill of two thousand pounds !—the rev. gentleman's in-
