_aSOTHEB ARREST . A Mr Pa ' riek Dunne , a farmer of Tipperary , haB been arretted under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act . a _sioit of urns _nKSTirorioir . In tbe _county of Kerry ihe value of the agricultural property and labour has so diminished under the _birden of _ptor rate , grand jury cess , and the depreciation of land rental , tbat several priests lately signified to Bishop Egan their _abso lute inability to _maintain tbeir sacerdotal station with ordinary decenc-y _, much leas with _csmfo .-t , such is tbe destitution cf their flicks , and that they prefer _goin _? as curates in the larger and comparatively affluent parishes of the county .
A _BOtDIBK 9 L 1 F _3 . The soldier * that have been passing through Clanmel for a _fevr days past , from their camp quarters at _TurtuHa _, bave the _appearance oi men who are worn out by unusual hardships . Some of them declare tbat they would prefer any foreign service in whioh they could be engaged , to the _harassing duty which they sustained ia tbe camps throughout the south of Ireland . For many weeks they were required to be ready at a moment's notice , and their tents afforded them a very indifferent protection to the severity of the wet _searon which they experienced . There is £ 3 , 000 poor rate uncollected in Eonis union . The sentence on the soldier of the Athloce garrison found _euilty of having cursed the Queen and cheered for Repeal , is seven yearn' transportation—a warning to red-coated sympathisers .
The guards oi the mail-coaches robbed at Abbeyfeale bave , after a consideration of the circumstances by the authorities , been restored . After stating that a grazier who oould manage many thousand acres of land in _shasp p _atutea and bullock farms with the aid perhaps of not h ? Ifadezen men , the remaining peasant papu ' atioa burrowing in tbe bogB , has resolved upon breaking up his establishment , tho writer _addBt—In _^ other places ' extermiration ' , ' as it ia termed—evictionsseem to have become even a mania . I bave heard myself the names ot landlords in the west of Ireland who would now permit the _occupation of farms , whence tbe late _teaanta have been evicted , by any parties who would be able to till the soil and pay the poor rate . They have themselves no capital , and without it they cannot cultivate themselves their own lands which lie idle . How tbey hope to work
oa I cannot imagine . Possibly they hope the paupers will die off ; more probably that government will undertake the _employment , or mainteBanee , or transplantation of tbe proportion tbey regard as redundant . In the union of Kilrush , wbere we have _( _ffiaal _knowledge that one thousand houses have been thrown down , I find it stated to-day , in a Lime rick pager , that one gentleman will have to pay this year _stven thousand pounds , ia poor rites . I should be curious to know how much this gentleman _^ expends in labour . And the people do not manifest any indisposition t _^ Ubaar _; but the contriry . By and by _accu-tamed to pauperism and the workhouse , it will probably be difficult to withdraw the able-bodied from the _workhsaBe and its drowsy inactivity . At present , in many parts of Clare , and even adjacent to the oity of Limerick , the able-bodied labourers engage with the farmers for their board without wages . Some eet twopence per day ' for tobacco . '
On Friday a deputation of noblemen and gentlemen connected with _Galway waited en Lord John Russell , by appointment , at the Viceregal-ledge , to represent to his lordship tbe miserable condition of tbe people of ( hat country and the destitution which the loss cf ( he potato crop will necessarily entail—bis lordship ex _pressed his regret tbat , the exchequer being very low , heconld not Sold ont any hope tbat the negotiation for a loan from the government could be at present _entertained , as he , without the sanction of parliament , couid do nothing of himself . The deputation returned thanks for the attention with which he bad received them , and withdrew . Tha state prisoners on trial at the commission wilt probably be transmitted to tha south before the close of the ensuing week . ( Abridged from the Morning Post . )
Mr Duffy is to be pot upon his trial , net with the other accused parties in Clonmel , but before tbe next commission in the connty of Dublin . T . M . Rivers , E « q ., of _Tybraugbny Castle , coanty of Kilkenny , for whose arrest on a charge of high treason a warrant had been _issaed shortly after the agar of Ballingarry , is said to have arrived in France . Yesterday , at twelve o ' c ' ock , about two hundred prisoners ( all male ) were removed from Kilmainham and _Smithfield _prisons . The convicts had been collected from different parts of the country ior some time past . They were taken from the prisons to tha North wall iu covered cars , guarded by dragoons . On arriving at the lighthouse point , they were nut on board one of the river steamers , acd sent to Kingstown , where they wereehipped on board the _Pestonjee Bomanjee , which will sail for New South Wales in a few days .
FIXES ON _JTJROBS . We { B / _'bcouuoh _Joobhal ) are concerned to find that the sheriff of this county has received from the Exchequer authority to enforce tbe several fines ( £ 50 eaob ) imposed on d' n-attending jurors at the last assizes of Roscommon- Many persons bave already paid the penalty , and within tbe last week tbree reaped able characters were lodged in sail , whe , at ihe saomerjt , were unable to meet the demand .
( Fromthe Timet . ) THS W / _SATBXB . ASD THE C & GP 3 . The rain has ceased since Sunday afternoon , bnt tbe temperature of the atmosphere continues low . The accounts as to tbe _potato are most conflicting , but tbe prevalent opinion certainly is that tbe crop will be more tban half unprofitable . Tho Shshhihin _CamnacbK says : — Tae accounts from aU quarters of this county are moat _coDfliorfog as to the probable _yifcld of the potato aas grain crops ; bat jadgipg from the supply of the former which are _ofT-red for sale in our market , we are strongly of _opiaiun that tbey are infected wiih the disease to a great extent . Scarcely aBy really sound potatoes are obtainable at any price here . Toe grata orops promise well , although they will not yield aa average prodaoe . if the w either should continue flue , it h to be hoped the deficiency in the harvest crops may not tarn out so extensive as it was at first prognosticated .
A gentleman , whose name does not _apnear _, having volunteered by letter to conduct Lord George Bentinck through some of the most ruinous and intricate parts of Dablin , his lordship sent the following reply , which , appears in tbe Frbbhah ' s Joubhai , oi Saturday morning : — _Harcouit-housB , Sept . 6 . Sir , —I ' ls all the invention of some Imaginative btaln that I have any intention of visiting Ireland . I bave no power to help her ; I can ba therefore of no good to ber by going there to see the destitution aad nakedness of tbe land . If I were to go to Ireland I _ahonld not be above seeking information from a Repealer , or af a personal InspeoOon of tba ' Liberty oi Dublin . ' The religion or politics ef a witness are nothing to me ; his matter of fact informstion and trnth ) ulB--Bj Is all I _consider .
I am not a _Rtpeakr , though I probably may enter _, tain a very different opinion from yoa whioh country _woild bs tke gainer and which the loser by a repeal ef the anion . It was aot so much through ths hostility of J _& e English membete aa through tha desertion and hostility of the Irish m-mbers ( many of them Bepealers ) that , in Tebraary , 18 * 7 , Ireland ] c >; _fta opportunity of obtain _, ing a lozn of £ 16 . 800 , 000 of English gold , at £ 817 s . S 3 . par cent , to siia , ti ' ate the _canstractlos , by private eaterprl « e , of railways ia yonr country . _TJaanimens ia _Palaoe-yard onon » Taeiday ia favour of tbe propositions I then brought forward , on the _Toursdiyae ' _aoight the same aixty gentlemen having seen tho Prime Minister at the _Forelgn-ofSce ia ths interval , voted two to one in the Honse of _Commons against giving _railwaya to Ireland .
Ont of 105 representstirea whioh Ireland possesses , twenty eight only , if my memory _sorres me correctly , w- aid vote for that loan to Ireland . Twa-tb ' rda of the Irish _representatives present declined the measure—the rest took care to be non est _i'tentus at the division , whhh wai tha honr of Ireland ' s need . R _? ed , mark , learn , snd inwardly digest tba division list , and yoa will find there were man ; mora trae friends of Ireland on tbat occasion , among the supporters ef the anion than among _theRepsaiers . Is it iurprising that , when Irish _reprsentatlve * voted two to one against tbe _aeceptsnea of tbat measure , and when bat twenty-eight oat of Ireland ' s 105 could atone bs found tossy 'Aye , ' a majority of Englishmen could not ba found willing to make a sacrifice ot English interests to force npon Ireland a boon wbich tbe majority of Irish members that _lettctec * .
It is not repeal of toe union that Ireland wants ; _ano wants men to represent ber who , understanding her material aad substantial Interests , ara able and _wllllsg to promote and maintain them , ana will not , on tha ona band , to gain the shoals of the mob , divert pablio and parliamentary _attention to phantom reforms that have no substantial vitta- _, in . them , or , on the other hand sell their votes to win the smiles , or may ba something mors _vaiutbla in the gift of the minister of the day .

aad tbat a polite invitation for that purpose was con . vey « d to him in the afternoon of Sunday last , bearing the signature of Messta Padder aud 0 _srmichael _, clerks ef the Orown for tbe county of Tipperary—or , _toexprsss our . selves with less ambiguity , we may _ilmpljr g tata tbat Lord John Russell , almost tbe moment previous to Ms departure from onr _sborai , waa handed a Crowa summons requiring bim to attend and givo evidence at the ensuing special commUsioa in . _C-onmol , ou iho p « t of Mr W . 3 . O'Brien . Tho delivery of th's _doearoont , as we can oollcct , waa not eft \ c : ed without soma difficulty _. Several application * were made in _thecourno of _SstardBy for an interview with Mr R . W . Grey , the Premier ' s _Sesretaiy , with the view of malting his lordship so . _qaaiutad with the object of Mr O'Brien ' s solicitor ( Mr
Potter ) , bat in vain ; aud it waa only aft _« r the _czrriage was packed , and the _aoble lord ' s family awaiting Wm to step _ioto it , tbat he could rpare a moment for an _interview with Mr _Po'ttr . It lonk pl » ce in the drawing-room of tho Vico-egal lodge , and afttr a brief introduction Lord John was handed tba legal document in due for a , which he raid over carefully . Mr Potter then observed , tbat In order to _complr with tho requisite formalities of law it was bis _dn ' -y to tinder bis lordship a viaticum , accom . panylng the summons which required bis _attendance , at the same time banding him ten sovereigns . Ltfd Jobn Russell has deoliaed to receive the money ; observing , that though such might bo the fo'm of law , Mr Potter might consider tha sttriceof _thesunnmns complete
without his acceptance of the viaticum Hie lordship then remarked that be was _galng to Scotland hy a _special ordor to wait npon ber Majesty , and he did not know far wbat purposo his attendacce could be required at tbe trial , Ur Potter stated , that tbe legal advisers of Mr Smith _O'Brltn considered bis lordship ' s attendance and evUeaoe _absolutely _reouhit ? , Tho Premier then requested tbat it" it should still be denned _nsccsflary to examine him as a witness , he should receive intimation to that envoi as early _.-. * possible , in order to _onablo him to make arrangements for attending the trial at Clonmel . Mr Potter _rapsated tbat he bad reason to _bcVeve his lordship ' s evidence would he indl « p ° nB » . ela on the trial , and then withdrew , after which Lord John Russell stepped into his carriage aad drove off to _Kingstorrn ,
( From the Sun . ) It is supposed that the object of the accused ia to obtain from his lordship a distinct enunciation of opinion respecting the extent ef prosecution which would justify armed resistance to authority , and perhaps also ascertain how far his lordship ' s _prac ice as a statesman _agrers with hia tbpories as a historian . In his lordship ' s Life of Lord William Russell , doctrines are broached and _p-ornalg & ted whioh would go te show that obedience te bad laws was a crime , and resistance even to goad laws badly administered , a duty .
STATE OF IRELAND . ( From the Morning Chronicle ) The priests are loyal , exactly in the same sense as the mass of the peasantry are loyal—that is , they abstain from acts of open disloyalty , because the country is filled with bayonets and cannon , and they have no wish _tokonck their head against ( hem in a hopeless-fight ; but let a chance be given to themlet a French _expedition land at Bantry Bay , or let ths' army of occupation' be called away on foreign service , aad a very different tale will be told at the MunBter altars—a very different countenance will be shown by the peasantry , ay , and by the middle classes , both in the country and in the towns .
One faot is worth a thousmd inference * . In the oity of Limerick there ia a population of 60 , 000 , aad of these there were found but three hundred who would offer tWr services to tbe local authorities , and whom the latter considered fit to be trusted with arms , in tbe event of an insurrection . In Kilkenny matters were even worse , for out of a population nearly half as large as that of Ltmeriok , it was calculated that there would be but twenty five actively _loyal-inWatatfoid , between tbree and four bundred—and so on . In short , throughout tbe entire south and _we-, t of Ireland , the higher gentry stand alone among a population eager for their destruction , and as universally and radically hostile to the
government which rf strains them aB the Spaniards were to that of Joseph Buonaparte , or , to _nse a mora aot illustration , as tbe _CommnnistB of the ' Rue Saint Jacques , ' are to that of the Frenoh Diotator . ( From the correspondent of the Southern Reporter . ) I have paid a visit to Messrs O'Brien and Meagher in Kilmainham , and bave the _sttisfaotion to acquaint yon tbat they enjoy excellent health _jand are in very good epiritB , considering tbe anxiety _necessarilv attendant on tbe circumstances of their position .

However , _tbenlgbtpassedLover without any alarmand the entire rumour was treated as aa Idle
, report . This state of things lasted till Monday evening , ben a report was reoelved from tbe State Q tarry P _'lie-Btatton ( coaaty of Kilkenny ) that a camp had been formed oa tbe portion of the Sl . evenamea range of hl'U neighbouring that district , and that beacsu fires were everywhere _gleaming on the heights . The military and constabulary were immema * . ely placed under arms , and were in expectation of an attack on Carrick or the Beeborcugb encampment during the entire nigbt ana yesterday morning . When our informant—a trB twortby gentleman intimately connected with some of tbo local authorities—left Piltown , tbey were still In _readlnun , and reports corroborating tbe first intelligence a _> to tbu rebel encampment were pouring in from all tbe
surrounding police stations . It was _generally stated tbat tha intention of tho _iaaurgtnta was to break down tbu bridges on the main roads leading towards tbe scene of action , in order to impede tbe advance of troops . This rumour is supported sy the statement of a car driver , ttbo arrived In this oity from Waterford , at aboat _three o ' olock p . m . yesterday , and vtbo asserts that tbe battlements bad been removed from Gf atmy Bridge , near tbe latter etty , and aa unsuccessful attempt made to throw down the aroh on Monday night by tbe peasantry .

On arrival a man was found lying dead in the road ; the police were still safe , but expected a renewed at tack . The coachman hurried on to Callan , where he delivered a note from the police asking for assistance . The mail coach did not meet with any obstacle oa tha part of the peasantry , who are in a high state of exoitemant , in consequence of ejectments in the neighbourhood asd seizures of corn for rent .
The Waterford mail , which left Dublin yesterday ( Tuesday ) morning , was stopped near Granny-bridge by a large party of men , who in the first instance would not allow the coach to pass , as they were about to pud down the bridge . After some remonstrance they permited it to be drawn across . On arrival at Waterford , the guard reported tbe _circumBtance to the postmaster and to Sir C . O'Donnell , the General of the district .

( Frm our awn CorretpondsntJ VoButt , llth September . The news I have to communicate to day is neither voluminous nor important . , We are ata' dead-lock ' for something to talk about in Dublin this week . Lord John Russell and bis movements kept our tongue * going and our sides cracking , last week , bat now— raore _' _s the pity—we have not a word in oar _Obeeks . It waB expected that Lord George Bentinck was coming over to emulate the glories of Lord John ' s Irish tour , but it appears we may hang eur harps on the banks of the Liffey , and weep over our blighted expectations . The London correspondent ef tbe Fbbkman ' s _Jodbkai , was the person who set this blast blowing , and did so without the shadow of authority , as Lord Ge _3 rge himself has taken ap pen
and ink , and indignantly repudiates ever having any notion of coming amongst us . That wiseacre of the Freeman gives us very _laughable opinions as to tha cause of Lord George refusing to do what bis lordship swears he never bad a notion of doing . He tells us that fie is not curiam (!) whether his lordship declined coming in compliance with the wishes of the government , who feared if he were to show himself in 1 The Green isle , ' the _luiht wbiob Russell was shedding there would be utterly eclipsed ; er whether he feared the fl ng he made at poor Mitchel . ia Pariiament might be revenged by some of that unfortunate gentleman ' s friends iu Ireland ! This fellow who ' does' the _Fbsbman in London , deserved a ' lift !' He takes so maay ' rises' out of the gulls over here , that it iB certainly a pity he should go unrequited . I hope his employers will' see about it . '
Lord John is gone from us ! Nobody Btill knows what brought him , unless indeed it was that , like the late Daniel O'Connell , be fancied he would get' fat by abuse , ' acd that he wished to have personal proof of the' ballyragging' powers of the Jackeoaery of Dublin . _N « , vvr . _« aa a man so unfortunate in a visit . Whenever he showed hiB laughter-provoking phiz _, he was the unpitied objeot of contempt , ridicule , acd the most unmitigated _penonal abuse . The very chimney-sweeps in the _atreuts held up their sooty fingers in scorn at the Premier , and the miserable tag-rag offering his box of oongreves for a farthing , looked aa if he would not exchange hiB situation for that of Finality Jaok . '
Never was man so _dessised , so scorned , and yet so _littlon _iticed . He carries home with him neither cur « e nor _bleS'isg , but he will long he remembered in Dnblin with _feeliBgscomethinga _& into those w _> tii which the well _. ftd hulking English labourer regards the dwarfish , _slarved-looking emigrant reaper from the wilds of Galway or Mayo , tie leaves behind a name associated crith every th ' mg tbat is contemptible in per . son , mean in manner , and trickish , imbecile , and spiteful in publio _oanduof . Suoh have been the fruits ( as y « t ripened ) of Lord John ' s great visit to Iceland in 1848 .
There is very little news of importance from the interior of Ireland . The weather is fine and sunny , the harvest is being secured quickly , and every kind otcrop is said to be ' turning out' far better than was _expected . The potatoes however , will be a Urilure ; let people Bay what tbey will . There are _strabge reports in Dublin on tbis day in connexion with tbe South of Ireland and the rebels , It is said that there is _uomintaaeoble symptoms ol an approaching outbreak— 'thatthe peasantry hold reviews by moonlight every other night—that pikes are being manufactured—and ; that various woods and groves in the neighbourhood ot _Slievenamon and Carriok are being thinned of trees to make pikepoles . They Bay there is a mysterious , _dodged
determination amongst all tne people in the counties ol Kilkenny , Limerick , and Tipperary ; that ihey are keeping up constant correspondence with other parts of Ireland , and that early in October , a general massacre of the troops and loyalists , all over _Munster , is in contemplation . Government , too , have received information on these matter ? , and , it is said , will keep up tbe present military force during the winter _, though a few days ago _iiwas their determination to withdraw several , _regiments from different localities . Whether these rumours be worthy , of oredit , I am not in a position to say , but certain it is , the ptople are determined not to remain as they are . The
Catholics of the south do not look' on the Ballingarry failure , or on the dispersion of « Young Ireland' as a national defeat . I verily believe that a great portion of them aregled of tht > turn recent affairs have taken , and , at least so far as Smith O'Brien is involved , feel very little _conoern for the imprisoned leaders . My opinion is , if England dies not show a disposition to do justice , the Munster peasantry will not . be long in quiet . And if they _rfce at all , it will bo aa a Catholic' party , and tbe consequences at every side must ba _dteadfal .

Middlesex Sessions. At The Sitting Of Th...
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS . At the sitting of _thsse sessions on Tuesday , an ap . plication waB made on behalf of Mr Woollen Some of our readers may recollect that Mr Wooller took an active part in the political agitation some years _, ago , and made himself famous by his publication . ¦ ' Thb Buck Dwarf . ' Mr _Pkkbdbboast Baid , he was about to make a somewhat extraordinary application , and it was one , too . whioh very much affected a gentleman ef the name of _Wool'er , who in years gone by ' occupied , a very celebrated position before the public Mr Wooller , however , was not the Bame as he had been in the days to which he referred ; for the truth was , that the infirmities with wh'ch that gentleman _> had
long been visited bad rendered bim quite a different man . However , be that aa it might , Mr Wooller had , in serving a client , placed himself in a difficulty . It appeared tbat a person whom Mr Wooller was instructed to defend had been convieted by tho magistrates at the police oourt of some offence arising out of transactions in re * peot of a watch , and thinking , as well as his client , that , the latter had a good defence , he had given notice of an appeal against the con vioHon at the Jast session ? . The defendant , however , it would seem , bad only one surety to offer at tbat time , therefore , on his application , Mr Wooller consented to became the second rarely _, ihe necessary sureties were thus given to appear and prosecute the appeal . By some mistake , however , the appeal was not entered , whereupon the ettreated
reoogni * ances were , and in pursuance of tbat estreat the Sheriff had taken Mr Wooller iu execution , and that gentleman had _beenicyirison some days . As the matter now came bmm the Court , the queUion was , whether the recognisances in the case of Mr Wooller were to be enforced or not . The learned _Jvdos said , that he should be sitting for several days , and if Mr Wooller would on any one of thoie days deliver ap his olient , Morrison , or cause the payment of the £ 6 10 j ., or the surrender of the watch , the Court would then have no difficulty in directing the release of that gentleman . As soon aa Morrison was in custody , then there would be no difficulty in tbe case , Let Morrison come in and 8 ur » render , or let Mr Wooller produce him ; and then _> when the principal was in limbo , the Court would at tnce proceed te the assistance of Mr Wooller .
Mt _Pbendbbsast was inclined to think that the results pointed out were not the most Beduotive , nor were they , in his opinion , sufficiently so as to induce a man to come into court personally . The learned Jddqe said , that either tbe watch , or the £ 6 10 s ., or the person of the olient Morrison , oust be forthcoming before the Court _couldintorfere . Two diminutive lads , named Thomas Wallace , and _Geonre Herbert , each sixteen years of age , were found guilty of stealing 5 i ' , bB . of baeMi , the property ef Thomas Wright .
rbe prisoner Herbert was convicted ia the name of William Kelly , at these _sesBionB , in August , 1846 , and beiog proved to be the constant associate of thieves , and a convicted thief himself—the court sentenced bim to be transported for seven years . The Assistant-Judge observed , that this was one of those oases with which the prison _inspeoters had interfered , being totally ignorant of the character of the boy , who was very bad indeed . Tbat court bad received full information abont the prisoner , and the sentence the court pronounced was estimated accordingly , but the oourt bad added to that sentence a recommendation that tbe lad should be admitted int _*) the establishment for young convicts at Parkburst . Instead , however , of sending the prisoner opt of the country , or attending to the recommendation , the inspectors had bim removed te tbe prison
at Mi / lbank , from which he was liberated last August . Now this boy wa _« , it appeared from information in possession of the court , one of a gang of thieves , notorious in the _neighbourhood of Drarylane , Bnd was besides about tbe worst condnated boy ever sent to prison . When he was sentenced before he had been previously-eonvi'ted , yet bis sentence had been , commuted , the effect of the recommendation of this court . If such recommendationswere to bs treated in that manner , they' need not be made at all , and be should make no more . The prisoner , however , could not be permitted to _regain in this country , acd it was to be hoped that this time he would be sent away . The other prisoner , Wallace , had been before convicted , and hehad bat just come out of prison . The sentence was that tbey eaoh be transported for seven years .
The Weather And The Crops. The Past Week...
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS . The past week was , on the whole , very favoarable for the completion of tbe harvest , there being some fine sunny daje , with drying winds . On Saturday and great part of Sunday , we bad again a good deal of rain ; but yesterday was fiae , though with a sensible chance in the atmosphere for the colder .

The harvest in thiB part of the kingdom iB drawing to a close , and after making diligent inquiry of _seve * ral parties competent to judge , we give the following _asthe result ;—The wheat under an average crop , and indifferently , in _teaie instances badly saved . The barley acd oats sbove an average crop , sufficient to make an aggregate average of these three sorts of grain , and the quality of the two last being generally good ; this is so far satisfactory , but tbe general report of the Btate of the potato crop , which ia said to be in a worse - state than even that of 1845 6 , gives a _Bombre tinge to the future , which it is difficult to avoid , when we consider how much baa been found to depend upon the produce of that _eBoalent , —Devonshire Chronicle ;
SCOTLAND . On Friday and Saturday last , the weather was occasionally showery ; but as there were at intervals bright sunshine and drying breezes , harvest operations were not entirely interrupted . A good deal of grain ia stock has now been exposed for & considerable time ; but as the temperature has been low , no barm has yet ensued from sprouting . The weather during the last week , with the exoeption of Monday and Tuesday , was generally rather unfavourable in this district ; but we are glad to observe that in other parts of the country _theaeassnwas highly auspicious , and over the greater part of England the harvest is rapidly coming to a conclusion . At the principal grain markets prices have still a downward tendency , _Yesterday was a charming day , and we were glad to notice that the mercury in tbe barometer was _graually ascending . The accounts from tbe various
districts of Scotland lean to tbe pleasing side . The report from _Stirlingshire , for instance , has tbe following : — ' The harvest is proceeding rapidly and during the last week every one was busy . A considerable quantity of wheat is already in the stack-yard _,, and with the exception of beans , all other grains are about ready for tbe sickle . Some of our farmers , oi handling their wheat andb arley , are convinced that tbe orop of both will considerably exoeed tbat of last year . In further proof of the benefit to be derived from pulling away the _ghaws front the potatoes where the disease is suspected to exist , we may mention that the experiment was tried in a field in the immediate neighbourhood of the town . _Several plants were intentionally left , and the result was tbat where _theabaws were removed the _tubere did well , while where they were permitted to remain the tubers were fast decaying .
