THE CKoPs.-A circular has been printed by a
mercantile house of eminence on the state of the
crops. In the middle Of last year they had express
sed a conviction that considerable imporiations OF
wheat would be required before the harvest in the
present year; and the results have Justified the OPT
Mon, duty has been paid nearly 100000 qrs
(hour incl ided) between the 5th Of September and
the 5th of Jane. Alter showing that the produce
of 1880 did not exceed that OF 1888, they state that
two defective crops and two years Of import have
left the United Kingdom with very limited stocks,
and hence il follows that large produce alone can
time and next years harvest. This large produce,
they believe, cannot be obtained even with the mist
favorable weather. They expect that the time OF
harvesting will be exended this year TO an unss ual
length and that, although cutting may commence at

pard. Had the book disgraced the time Of Hogart,,
the perusal OF IL would probably have made the first
in the great masters illustration OF the progress
OF cruelty As the passions all exctable through
the Inauguration, we look upon this book calculated
10 create lust for cruelty in minds having any pre-
disposition 20 the vice. It's tendencies are TO ia
marze the imag na;ion with deeds OF blood, aud 20
hold up to admiration the savage criminals acting in
them. There is often in effects what never entered
into intention, and We scquit the author Of having
intended or oreseen the encouragement OF crgeltv,
but the admiration Of the criminal is the studied
purpose OF the book.
