PROGRESS OP BARPRST.

Dtring the !ast ten days the Weather has continued
fine. and highly favourable to the approaching harresr.
which promises to be most abundant. Whest
been already cut in this neighlionrhood, and grain rpf
desrription is ripening fast, and will, should Ott
weather continue propitious, in a few days be ready
for the sickle. Much hay which owing pa the late
rains, had remained in the fields, has been safely
stacked, and in good condition.—(Carligie *harm&

The crop ie this neichboorhood are in a state of
zreat forwardness. John Clapperton, F,49. of Spy-
ing, has ten acres of fine barley already in the stook,
and almost ready for the bare—(Ediaburgh Stir,

BUTTER TOADS OF WATORFORD.—A novel sp-r
tide was exhibited yesterday at the Batter Crane of
this City, almost every firkin brought in having been
withdrawn unsold, the merchants engaged in the
Trade baring unanimously abstained boas purchasing
in coaseqnenee of the following notice, posted up in
the market•house on Tuesday evening:—
" No Bearnage to be allowed on Bntter weighed in
this market on and after the 7th day of August. NV.
(Signed) " SAMUEL NEWPORT,
tt Waterford, 6th August. Wei`h•Master."
We understand that this Notice was issued by the
Weigh-master in consequence of the remonstrances of
some Country Oentlemen, who threatened to resort to
law proceedings to put OD end to the praitice hitherto
pursued at the Crane, of allowing to the purchaser n
beamage of 41bs.per 6, kin on all ►utter weighed- thera
—a practice which, it appears, though not expressly
authorised by the last Act for regulating the sale of
Better in this market, has been sanctioned by ancier
and immemorial usage.—(Waterford rin•

The liott•r Sferket continues in the same extrad--
diaary state noticed in our last I not a single par-
chase has since bees made at the Cram; by merchants,
it being their settled determination, as we then state,
to keep out of the market until the usual bearings).
of 4lbs. per firkin 'llan be again allowed. A few
brokers' parcels, from other markets, have been
taken at tat cellars--some at about 6f/s. to 72•. for all
qualities together—others at 765. to 73e. far firsts,
with Ss. redaction on second, and 12$. en third qu
lities. We understand that I loads of Butter,
coming to this market, stopped yesterday at the
County Kilkenny end of the Bridge, and afterwar is
earned back towards Carrick, on the owners finding
that the embargo was still in force here.—(ff 'atcrfuril
