TUESDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER Is, 1928.
9J Our foreign-news to-day is of a very late date
English papers have been received to the 10th Of
August. With respect to the war in the east which
engrosses almost all the interest felt in foreign
news, there is some interesting intelligence. The
Turkish Admiral Ibraham Pasha, has it seems been
compelled to evacuate the Morea, even before the
arriral ofthe French expedition which was intended
to bring about such an event. peaceably forcibly
There are some symptoms of an altered disposition
on the part of the Porte and reason 10 expect
that it will ayow, its determination of comfy
ing with the stipalations of the treaty Of London
There is report that Mr. Peel ntends to resign his
seat in the British Cabinets the cause Of which is
not stated Other designations wore expected.
Under ordinary circumstances the CONTINUAL changes
which take place inthis Cabinet might, excite sur
prise, butts long as the Duke Of Wellington remains
at the head. settlca-eabfher, composed Of men Of
ability, who can act in unison together, -caunet be
expected -
We have received from an attentive friend and
correspondent at Bostoniiies efrase English papers
from which variety of extracts will be found in our
columns to-day. The papers are crowded with ac-.
counts Of the weather, which appears in every re.
spect to have correspondent with that which has been
experienced here during the summer. The number
and violence of the thunder storms have been with
out parallel. The rains have had serious effect
upon the crops in many paris and proved very ihju
rious to the reaped and unreaped corn. The crops
IN some places had been wholly DESTROYED, and the
most serious fears of great scarcity were enter
tanned. The papers of the latest dates, however.
(Aug. li-l6) hold out more encouraging prospects
with regard to the neighbourhood of Liverpool,
where the weather has been more favourable ,han in
other parts of the country. In Hampshire, a letter
writer says, the people are all crazy The guam
tity of grain in store in the continental ports is said
to be very small. and much of that it is supposed
will go to France, where it is already in demand.
These accounts have had their effect upon the mo.
ney and exchange markets. The accounts from the
hop districts very bad. The high winds had
done extensive mischief; the poles having been
blown down, the hops were lying upon the
ground covered with mud and water
Farmers, and all who are concerned in the grain
markets Of this country will look with interest to
England especially during the present state of the
British corn laws
From the accounts which we have mentioned
above, it seems that hops are likely 10 be scarce in
England This circumstance is worthy the atten-
ton ofour hop-growers. The hops in this vicinity
we belieyc viii afford average crop. One indivd-
ual in this town, we understand, Will gather 1000
pounds
Ut In the article headed Consistency in our
last, from highly valued correspondent we are
sorry to find that gross typographical errour escap
ed our notice. In the sixteenth line from the end.
the word trcsted should have been mastered

OUR BRIDGEs. The cost of supporting
the bridges over the Nasliaway in this town
is very heavy item of pnblicls expense
seven, at least, being supp6fted BY the town.
It is this very Circumstance, perhaps, which
directs the attention of our citizens so much
to thecondition of the bridges. We have
received lately several complaints of the bad
state of some ofthe bridges, but have delay
ed publishing any of them under the inn
preston that the proper authorities would
not long be neglected. Of their duty in re-
pairing them, and rendering them passable
and safe. It is fact, however, that several
of the bridges have for long time been in
very dangerous condition; so much so
that individuals have been induced to shun
them when practicable. We do not know
that The neglect Of them is ehargeable to.
any publick officer, indeed we do moi know
precisely by what system they are managed.
We do not rafas % the subject now for the
purpe-e Of laying blame anywhere, so much
as to express our JOY that some Of the bridges
are now undergoing repairs. We hope the.
repairs viii be general and thorough and
we hope, too, that it will be a great while
before we shall again be brought to the morti-
flying necessity of paying forty OF fifty dollars
damages, for suffering hole to remain in
any bridge sufficiently large for. the admis-
sion of horses foot,
The voluntary muster. of the uniform corps
of Gen. Holman's brigade takes place at
Leominster tomorrow and next day.. The
Governor has been invited, we understand.
