OF light showers relieved by intermitting CLEANS of
bright sunshine All around us the harvest is
gathering in, and very great breadth has been cut
down, and stacked in very good condition, though
In some instances the crops have suffered by being
left too long the ground, having prematurely
ripened under the unwonted heat of the sun. In
some places the hay and grain harvest are going on
together, which has been rather an inconvenience
to the farmer who hitherto had his hay crop in ad-
vance of the cereals.

ed the bar of the Mersey at midnight on the 22d
but was detained there till the morning of the 23d

not to insure the vessel at present leaving the pro-
prietors to insure their respective risks if they
thought fit. Mr.. Lever had renewed his offer to
charter the ship for the first voyage or still more
more liberal terms. The result was not stated but
it is presumed the offer was not entertained.
The mate of the American ship Conqueror, Charles
Bontelle, charged with causing the death of sea-
man, and discharged for lack of Jurisdiction, had
been re-arrested, owing to the cooperation Of Min
lister Dallas and the British authorities
The Atlantic Telegraph Company recently DEBUT
ed Mr. f. c. Webb, an engineer of considerable ex-
perience in testing and experimenting on telegraph
cables to proceed to Valentia and examine the pre-
sent state of the Atlantic cable, and his report is
published in the English papers. After detailing
the scientific results Of his experiments, he con
cludes as follows:
81 of opinion that serious fault exists about
263 statute miles from Vaentia, measured along
the cable, and that the cable between that spot and
this shore is comparatively perfect. Tests from
here cannot decide whether the cable is me-
chanically severed and all attempts to detect the
reception Of the most intense current from the op-
poste shore have long since proved fruitess-
Still, from various circumstances attendant on the
decline Of the insulation, there is every reason to
believe that the continuity both of the cable and
the conductor is perfect.
"Whether any other faults exist beyond the one
alluded to, it is impossible to ascertain By tests
from Naentia, and the fact that signals received
at Nalentia always better than those received
at Newfoundland, prove undoubtedly that worse
insulation had always been near Valentia there
fore it seems probable that if the fault which exists
on this coast, which very likely forms the principa
cause of leakage, could be removed, the insulation
would be so far improved as to render the cable
again available for signallings, provided the fault
which is said by those who have tested from New
toundland to exist near Trinity Bay was repaired"
Gigantic frauds in connection with the extensive
and well known Carron Iron Company of Scotland
were being brought to light 1t is alleged that for
long series of years the managing partner of the
company has been guilty OF frauds on the share
holders of unprecedented daring and extent

quently quoted on Change at lDlL premium
The subscription lists to the Russian loan of
twelve millions sterling closed on the 29th The
bids on London reached nearly four millions most
ly from bankers and foreign houses connected with
Russia, the bids from the stock exchange not being
more than hundred thousand, and the result was
considered partial failure. The extent of the sub
scriptions in the continent was not vet published
The quotations in London for the loan had declined
to par at Il premium, and in some cases i discount
The London Money market had been pretty ac-
tive, but closed quiet and easy.
LONDON, Wednesday.-The Daily Ne1os city ar
tice dated last evening, says the funds to-day were
quiet. Upon the result of the biddings for the In
dian loan being made known, consos advanced Is,
but subsequently relapsed and closed the same as

exchange, business was languid, but prices were
firm. The demand for money slack to-day at
about 255 per cent for best bills. Foreign exchan-

the discount market at ~ per cent. Business in
the railway market was quiet but firm.

DEPARTURE OF THE JASON FROM GALWAY.
From the Gal,oay Tindicator august 2O.I
This evening the Jason weighed anchor and
steamed away for the Gland of the West" with
six hundred and twenty-seven [ship's report SAYS
four hundred and filty-threel passengers That
high figure tells well for the Galway line and, in
deed, may the passengers appreciate its worth.
Our readers may well imagine the hustle conse-
quent on the embarkation of such an immense hu-
man freight together with shipping the baggage of
six hundred and twenty-seven persons, and vet all
this gone through without almost the slightest
Inconvenience to any one. What different story
would they have to tell who passed from our shores
to America, before the enterprise of Lever had
found better route to the new world.
1t was hattering to hear the admiration with
which some of the passengers-persons who, more
than once crossed the Atlantic-spoke of the Off
GERS of the company, Mr.. Butler the agent especi-
ally. The courtesy and attention of this gentleman
and those under him, was frequently and strongly
remarked, in contrast with the surly demeanor of
the Liverpool officials.
Of those emigratiug by the JASON 222 are cabin
passengers, and the remainder second and third
class. The amount of cargo is very considerable
and is the largest which has yet been shipped from
Galway. 1t includes more than two hundred tons
of case goods from Belfast, some from Drogheda
and upwards of eighty tons of merchandise from
Liverpool We are rejoiced to say she brings from
Galway from the establishment of Mr. Francis Nc
Namara, 100 cases of ale and porter.
The Jason has been chartered by the company,
and this being her first voyage in that service, we
trust she will make good beginning.
THE VOYAGE OF THE GREAT EASTERN
From the Gdl,Cay Vindicator, Aug 2Ol
Galway has yet hope Of seeing the Great East
ern in the waters of the bay. The Midland Com
pany have just resolved giving the sum of f5 900
in addition to the 900 offered by Mr. Lever
That gentleman left Dublin last evening for Lon
don, with view to increase his offer. The condi-
tions are, that the vessel is to lie in our bay for m
teen days before sailing for Quebec. 1t is calcula-
ted that thirty thousand people would visit Galway
to see the stupendous boat during that time
From the same paper, same dQy.l
proposal has been made on behalf of Mr.. Lever
