whether they be just or unjust; for that were to imagine
people to be too reasonable who do often spurn at their
—own good; nor yet by this, whether the griefs where-
upon they rise be great or small. For they are the
most dangerous discontents where the fear Is greater
than the feeling Doleadi mods*, tisitesdi nos
Mena." Besides, in great oppressions, the mite things
that provoke the patience, do withhold more the cou-
rage; but in fears it is not so. Neither let any Prince
or State be secure concerning disconteotments I because
they have been often, or hav been long, and yet no
peril bath ensued ; for as it is true that every vapour or
fume doth not turn into a storm, so it is nevertheless
true, that storms, though they blow over divers times,
yet may fill at last; and as the Spanish proverb match
well ' The cord breaketh at the last by the weakest
pull.

The interest which every one at present feels in the
Harvest now in hand, becoming every day more *con-
siderable from the unsettled state of the weather, and
the rapid rise in the price of corn, we have been led of
late to allow i larger space in our columns than usual
on this important ►ubject. In the communications we
have selected from our provincial correspondence will
be found good reason to hope that the Corn-Market
will soon assume a more favourable aspect to the con-
sumer. It will be observed, that through the northern
cone!** of England, and In Scotland generally, the
Weather had not up, to a recent date, been unfriendly
to the labouri of the husbandman ; and the supply and
price of Wheat in the London market it is well known
is much affected by the crop of that part of the
Island. From Glasgow, indeed, we learn to day that
there has been a very unfavourable break in the har-
vest weather, and they are 'now getting their tarn of
those rains which have done much harm in England
and Ireland. Fortunately, howerer, a considerable
quantity of wheat was stacked in good condition
while the weather was favourable, and it is hot sup-
posed that as yet much injury has been donr to the
stocked or standing victual.—From another district
of the north, the town of Hull, we are informed, that
there is no necessity for the great rise which has
taken place in the price of our, and that it will
soon come down again. We. are inclined to think,
says the writer, that the great damage to the crops is
more in anticipation than fact, and that it will even-
tuallx turn out that the produce of grain it both abun-
dant and well got in. Our accounts received to-day
from Waterford, dated Saturday last, say the receipts
of Wheat and Butter were abundant yesterday ; Oats
were is good supply; Barley was scarce ; Wheat 21s.
to 28s. 6d., demand brisk in the forenoon, but rather
drooping afterwards.--The Ireports (rem Dublin are as

" DUBLIN, SIM% 15.—The heavy rain of Thursday
ceased in the course of that night. Yesterday, al.
though without any droppings, was sulky, and Sol
did not make his appearance from an early hour in the
forenoon, when ke once or twice shot through his ob.
Seurtiy; but soon hid bleitefft spiv. This day N Awe,
and promises good weather. We understand the
harvest in the counties of Wicklow, Kildare, and
Queen's County, has suffered a good deal from the pre-
vacates of the late heavy rain.
Great anxiety continues to exist concerning the
hatvest. The London market note ;singe on the verge,
if it has not passed the remunerating price. It is ap-
prehended that the Ports will be thrown open before
the harvest has bad a fair trial."

Wheat fell yesterday full 101. the qUarter in Mark-
lane, owing to the change is the weather. It Is said
Mau, that more than 20,000 inners of wheat, shipped
off from the northern counties on bearing of the
rise in the London market, have arrived. The letters
by the Dutch mail state that i rise of 3s. the quar-
ter in wheat has taken place at Amsterdam, it being
at length concluded there that the continued advance
in the English market mist have some better cause
than mere speculation.

Readers with a Second Edition in the course of this
