Midland Railway. LINES FROM LEICESTER TO NORTHAMPTON BEDFORD, AND HUNTINGDON. THE Directors of the Midland Railway Company think it right to announce, for the information of all" parties interested in the measure, that by a unanimous resolution of the Shareholders at the last general meeting of the Company they determined to bring forward in the next Session of Paliament, as an extension of the Midland Lmes, the scheme of Railway accommodation which was proposed in the present Session by the South Midland Company, and rejected by a Committee of the House of Commons, but which was afterwards tacitly sanctioned by the Committee of the House of Lords in the rejection of the rival line from Leicester to Bedford. The above lines, it will be recollected, comprise a Railway from Leicester by way of Market Harborough to Northampton on the one hand, and Bedford on the other, with a Branch from the Bedford Line near Kettering to Huntingdon and in adopting them, it is the intention of the Midland Company not only to accommodate the country in the most comprehensive manner, but to provide as amply as possible for the general requirements of the public The Legislature having now sanctioned a Railway from London to York, all difficulty in the choice of the route south of Bedford has been removed. The line will therefore join that of the London and York at Bedford, and thus furnish an alternative route from the Midland districts to the metropolis.

In other respects the general course of the lines will little vary from those of the South Midland but every improvement will be made which the convenience either of landowners or of inhabitants has suggested, and sub sequent investigation has shown to be practicable. An alteration will be made near Wellingborough, in accordance with the wishes of the inhabitants, by which the station will be in more immediate proximity with the town. At Kettering the station proposed by the South Midland Company, and unanimously approved bv the town, will be adhered to; and at Market Harborough it is proposed to adopt such measures, in conjunction with the Rugby and Stamford, as to insure to that town the central position originally contemplated in laying out the South Midland Lines. The Midland Company having obtained their Act for Junctions with the Leicester and Swannington Railway at Leicester and at Burton-upon-Trent, a cheap and plentiful supply of coal from Leicestershire as well as the Derbyshire Coal-fields has been secured, and a direct communication effected for the southern and eastern districts with Liverpool and Manchester. The Midland Company are convinced that a svstem of this nature cannot be carried out with adequate advantage, either to the public or to the parties embarked in the undertaking, exeept by the Company which has the command of the lines of Railway centering from the northward at Leicester.

This was the most powerful argument adduced before Parliament against the granting of the Leicester and Bedford Line, and it can scarcelv be doubted that it had great weight in the ultimate decision. accompanied as it was by a pledge on the part of the Counsel of the Midland Company, that the plan now proposed would be vigorously prosecuted by them in the ensuing session. It only remains for the Directors to state, which they do with great pleasure and satisfaction, that the undertaking has received the cordial support of the leading nobility, gentry, and landowners connected with the country and that no pains will be spared on the part of the Company to meet in every respect the wishes and requirements of the inhabitants ot the important towns and districts which it is intended to accommodate, so as to render it a source of the most comprehensive and permanent advantage, both in a local and public point of view.

is infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil dren, when thought past recovery, from convulsions, arising from painful dentition. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will be relieved, the gums cooled, and the inflammation reduced. It is as innocent as efficacious, tending to produce the teeth with ease and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it. When infants are at the age of four months, the Syrup should be rubbed on the gums and parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young children, for if a child wakes in the night with pains in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease, thereby preventing convulsions, fevers, The great success of this medicine during the last 25 years has induced unprincipled persons to imitate it, under the name of American Soothing Syrup, and copying parts of Mrs. Johnson's bills, fec.

Parents will, therefore, be very particular to ask for JOHNSON'a AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP, and to notice that the names of Barclay Sons, 95, Farringdon-atreet, London, (to whom Mrs. Johnson has sold the recipe,) are on the stamp affixed to each bottle.

A Session of Parliament of unexampled duration, and one of the most important, if not the most im portant which will be found recorded in the pages of English history, has just terminated. The principles upon which the agriculture, the manufactures, and the commerce of the country have been elevated to a degree of perfection and prosperity surpassing every other nation in the world, have been abandoned, and a directly opposite line of policy has been adopted. The ruin of our agriculture, and consequent downfall of our manufactures and commerce, are expected as inevitable conse-guences bv the advocates of the old system; whilst the disciples of the principles of sense" look forward to halcyon days of prosperity to all classes, from the successful establishment of their doctrines. The general application of the principles of free-trade to agriculture and commerce must be regarded for the present as a great experiment, which being sanctioned by the Legislature, it is the duty and interest of every loyal and patriotic individual, of whatever denomination, or in whatever pursuit engaged, to lend his honest and utmost exertion in carrying out. It is perfectly true that the advocates of protection must engage in the experiment unwillingly, and with a strong conviction that the result will be unsuccessful whilst, on the other hand, the advocates of free trade regard success as certain.

We are of opinion perhaps erroneously that the most enlightened and stable advocates of the old system would rather go on and test the result than return again to the former status, still leaving the question in doubt and uncertainty. We have reason to believe that these are the sentiments of some of the leaders of what is called the country party," inasmuch as it is intimated that there is no intention to agitate" between this and the next election. The battle is to be fought at the hustings but what the war cry is to be, we have not been able to learn. To predicate upon the probable progress of trade and commerce, is almost as dangerous as to prophecy respecting the weather such subjects should therefore be approached with extreme caution. We cannot, however, repress the conviction in our own mind that there is nothing, in the absence of any unforeseen political events, to occasion an alteration for the worse in the state of our agriculture or commerce before the next election.

Upon the correctness of this view or otherwise, will very materially, if not altogether, depend the character of the next House of Commons. Steady and persevering in their pursuits and occupations, whether on the farm, in the manufactory, or the counting-house, Englishmen are not easily induced to engage in political strife, if matters are going on fairly in their respective establishments that is, if business is tolerably brisk, and prices reasonably remunerative. As at present advised, therefore, we do not think it probable that any attempt will be made at the next election to pledge candidates to advocate a return to the old system, until the result of the great experiment is ascertained. The position of the agricultural interest, when a dissolution takes place, will, as it seems to us, be this. Awaiting the result of the year 1850 for until then no judgment can be formed of the effect of the recently adopted measures of free trade there will be a want of energy in applying the mind to the amendment of existing grievances- Intent upon the great experiment, other comparatively minor, but still important matters, will.be neglected.

We are well aware that the warmth of our feelings sometimes induces a force of expression not palatable to some of our readers but in admonishing the tenant farmers to their apathy, in seeking to imbue them with a sense of their own importance, in urging them to an advocacy of their rights, we are solely actuated by the desire of seeing them take that position as a class, which the capital they possess and the pursuit in which they are engaged entitle them to command and which, so far from deteriorating, will, in our opinion, enlarge the influence and improve the interest of the landlord. When is it that the landlord possesses the highest order of influence When is it that his position is most noble in character and princely in possessions? When is it that his rent toll is the largest in proportion to the extent of his estate, and most punctually paid? Is it not when his tenantry are men of educated and enlightened minds, having knowledge to perceive and independence to stipulate for their rights possessing capital, and spirit to expend it, but exercising prudence in requiring security for its investment and, as a consequence, entertaining feelings of attachment and respect for the proprietor of the estate, because he exhibits a due regard for their feelings and their rights Is this state of things Utopian, or does it exist? Are there any landlords so situated are there any estates so managed We say there are. Are there any of a character perfectly the reverse We feel compelled to say that by far the greater part of the land occupied by the English tenantry must be ranked under the latter category. We say, then, that the talent, the influence, and the energies of those who profess to have the interests of agriculture at heart of the country party," should be devoted to the adoption of such measures as would secure to the tenant farmer fair play for his capital and ability, and that, with all the boasted influence of the landed interest, the occupier of a farm should not be in a worse situation than he who invests his capital in the occupation of a mill or workshop. Mark-lane Express, PRIMOGENITURE.

The battle of commercial freedom has been fought and won. During the last seven years it absorbed public attention, almost to the exclusion of every other subject, but the time has now arrived when other reforms, as imperatively demanded, must engage the attention of the press. Among these none is more important than the law of primogeniture mat worst legacy winch feudalism has bequeathed to moaem times. It has maintained its ground through all the revolutionary storms by which this country has been convulsed nor will this ex- cite surprise, if we take into consideration the real character of those political movements which be- headed one lrinrr llZTl De SS'" -They, W6re SS5 by the territorial aristocracy order to iimuine prerogative of the crown, not to extend the franchise of the people, for they concentrated within their own order all those influences and powers of which they had despoiled the sovereign. These revolutions were purely dynastic; they changed the order of succession, without invigorating the democratic principle, for what the kings lost the nobility gained.

We entirely agree with De Tocqueville that though the laws of inheritance and succession are ordjnarily consklered as belonging to the civil order of things, yet that under practical views and practical results primogeniture is a political institution. Of this we have abundant evidence in our own country. From the nomination of a prime minister to an excise officer, the influence of the confederacy of eldest sons is felt. They are the patrons of all needy adventurers. Bishoprics and judgeships, the command of rejriments and of frigates, are at their disposal.

Two or three of them united, can secure a county election. Their dependent tenants must do their bidding or prepare to be ousted from their farms. Certain offices of state are considered hereditary in their families. They claim to be lords-lieutenants, and no admi nistration is formed unless the highest official dig nities are bestowed on themselves or their nominees Stars and blue ribbons are among their perquisites. ine palace ot the sovereign is encumbered with their presence, where, as salaried spies, they watch anu report tne proceedings ol royalty.

Primogeniture operates as a very heavy tax on the industrious classes. Younger sons and daughters must receive appointments and pensions as a compensation for not sharing in the patrimonial inheritance. No matter how undeserving, or how incompetent, the dignity of their station must be upheld. It would be a degradation in them to earn their bread by trade in fact, they are trained from early life to despise industry, and pay homage to idleness. The slaves of their "elder brother, they are the tyrants of the people, ever ready to put down that political freedom, which might jeopardize their places and sinecures.

Hence it follows that they enjoy, as it were, a social monopoly, being paid for services which they are unable to perform. The deputy does the work, while they pocket the pay. The competition of intellect is thus frustrated promotions cannot go by merit, for these prior claims must be satisfied before official aptitude is considered or rewarded. Thus a wide circle of evils, political, fiscal, and conventional, is generated, primogeniture being its centre. We believe that the odiousness of this law is far more widely felt than is generally believed, and that an agitation for its repeal would receive a very large share of popular support certain it is, that while it exists, a great barrier is opposed to the extension of useful reform.

It is indeed the stronghold of the aristocracy, nor would they surrender it without an obstinate struggle. But the interests of civilization demand its removal, and fall it must, if the people attack it with judgment and perseverance. It has been condemned by Lord Kaimes and Sir Walter Scott, by Mirabeau and Guizot, as vicious both in its principle and its consequences, and on some future occasion we shall bring forward evidence to prove that it is the bane of agriculture, by withdrawing land from the wholesome competition of commerce But it is chiefly objectionable as being the bulwark of the Settlement of 1688, and consequently the great enemy to social and political progression. Whoever is prepared to uphold that Settlement, is a partizan of finality and with all such we are prepared to join issue. JerroWs Weekly Newspaper.

TIIE IRISH FAMINE. The best friend to the Irish would be he who could effectually persuade them that the fault lay entirely with themselves. They inhabit a country a great part of which is at least equal in fertility to our own, with more that is capable of being made so. There is no reason, except their own wilful mismanagement, why they should not grow as fine crops of wheat as are raised in the Lothians, and, after feeding themselves, export the surplus to our shores. Yet, after years of present suffering and fearful expectation, they idly and stupidly persist in staking their very existence upon a crop the precarious nature of which is no more than a fair setoff against the small amount of labour required to produce it.

Without entering into the question how far the laws and customs relating to landed property in Ireland, how far the landlords themselves, are responsible for this evil, I may safely assert that the prejudices and ignorance of the Irish people are at least as inveterate and as fatal as their misgovernment and the ill example of their superiors have been culpable and injurious. Every Irishman must needs be a farmer, and work as much or as little as he pleases the idea of being a labourer, and engaging in regular employment, is revolting to him. The great object of his life is to rent a miserable patch of land, to build himself a hovel, or burrow in the earth, to marry, and, if possible, to live as well as his pig. The word improvement" is not in his vocabulary he is content to live as his forefathers have done. With such exalted views in his mind, the first question is, how to realize them and to this the potato furnishes a speedy though treacherous reply.

No other article of food promises so much at so small a cost. An acre of potatoes will maintain four times as many people as an acre of wheat, while the time and labour of cultivating it are comparatively trifling. Here, then, are abundant means of gratifying his love of idleness and what he calls independence. And so long as Nature bestows the years of plenty lrom her revolving cycle, and withholds the years of famine, things go on smoothly. For a month or two our farmer is busied with planting his potatoes; for another month or two he leaves his home and comes to reap where he sowed not, in the smiling harvest of England while for the remaining two-thirds of the year he does nothing but sleep, drink, or beg.

But Nature will not suffer her laws to be broken with impunity. She has made daily labour the condition of daily food and those who will not submit to her decrees must be content to pay the penalty. Thus, famine is the certain recompense of a cheap and idle subsistence and while the latter, in addition to its other evils, tends to multiply population to an unhealthy extent, and to perpetuate their miseries, the former stands ready, with scourge in hand, to expel the noxious brood, or to lash them into industry and prudence. Nothing is more certain than this that the dense population of Ireland, and its squalid condition, are principally owing to the potato. Had it not been," says Mr.

M'CuIloch, for the almost universal dependence of the Irish people on the potato for the principal part of their subsistence, coupled with the facility with which they obtain huts and slips of land, it is quite impossible that population could have advanced so rapidly as it has done during the last fifty years." The same writer observes, So long as potatoes are used only as a subsidiary species of food, their introduction serves to improve the condition of the labourer, and they frequently afford him an additional means of support in years when there is a failure of the corn crops. But those who are habitually and entirely fed on potatoes are placed upon the extreme verge of human subsistence. When deprived of their accustomed food, they are unable, from the small-nesa of their wages, to purchase what is dearer and there is nothing cheaper to which they can resort. To a people placed under such unfortunate circumstances, scarcity and famine must be synonymous." Taking these facts into consideration, I verily believe that if the potato famine in Ireland were to continue five years longer, it would prove a greater blessing to the country than any that has ever been devised by Parliamentary commission from the Union to the present time.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. Friday, August 28. Their lordsbips met at three o'clock. A few minutes after, fhe Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lanndowne, the Earl of Minto, Earl Spencer, and Loid Campbell, as royal commissioners, entered thn house, dressed in their robes, and took th-ir seats on the woolsack.

The J.ord Chancellor then directed the Usher of the Black Rod tO Command the attenilanca nt rha Dommnn f. hear the royal assent given to several bills, 'n 'ew minutes the Speaker, with several memhers, e0T7 appeared at the bar, when the royal commission wa3 and' "Ti forraaliti88' the ryal wa 8iven t0 the foll(l71Di? Tu The Consolidated Fund Appropriation, Customs Duties (No. 2), Contagious Diseases Prevention. Small VVreck and Salvage, Steam Navigation, Drainage of Land (Ireland). British Possessions, The Lord Chancellor then read THE ROYAL SPEECH.

"Mr Lords and Gentlemen, We are commanded by her Majesty to expreas to you the warm acknowledgments of her Majesty for the public spirit you have evinced in the discharge of your laborious duties during an anxious and protracted session. Her Majesty trusts that you will be rewarded by witnessing (be beneficial results of the measnrea which have been sanctioned by her Majesty for the present relaxation anu Ultimate repeal or protective a ivies on corn ana sugar. Her Majesty eulertains a confident hope that the more free admission of the produce of foreign countries inro the home market will increase the comforts and better the condition of the great body of the people. Her Majesty feels the greatest satisfaction in reflecting that her Majesty's efforts to settle in a manner con si.tteut with national honour, the conflicting of Great Britain and tha Uuited Slates, with respect to the territory on the North West Coast of America, have been completely successful. Her MBjesty continues to receive from all Foreign Povvers the strongest assurances of their desire to cultivate friendly with this country.

Her Majesty commands us to congratulate you on the victorious course and happy conclusion of the war iu India, and her Majesty has muck gra ification in annoonc ing to you that perfect tranquility prevails throughout the whole of the British possessions in that quarter of the world. "Gentlemen of the of Commons, (- Her Majesty has observed wiih satisfaction the care yon have taken to prevent permanent loss to the revenue and to mainfni.i the public faith. Her Majesty has commanded us to acknowledge the zeal and unanimity with which you assented to the increase in the naval and military estimates wh eh a regard to the exigencies of the public service induced her Majesty to propose for your consideration. Mv Lords and Gentlemen, Her Majesty has to lament that the recurrence of a failure in the potato crop, in an aggravated degree, will cause a serious deficiency in the quantity of a material ar ticle of food. Her Majesty has given her cordial assent to measures by which this calamity may be mitigated in that part of the Uuited Kingdom where fhe cultivation of the potato has bitberto afforded the chief supply for the subsistence of the people.

Her Majesty has seen with pleasure that a considerable diminution of crime and outrage has taken place in those connties of Ireland wbich had been most disturbed. Her Majesty is confident that on yonr return to your several counties, yon will find a spirit of loyalty generally prevalent. The extension of works of improvement has increased the demand for labour, and the tranquillity of the country has favoured the pursuits of industry in all its branches. Her Majesty frusta that by a combination of prudence with enterprise, and of a willing obedience to law with a desire for social progress, her people will, through the Divine blessing, enjoy the full advantages of peace." After the noble and learned lord had read the speech, the royal commission, antborlsiDg and commanding the commissioners to prorogue the parliament, was read. After which, the Lord Chancellor s'ated that in virtu of the commission, and by authority of the same, the Parliament was prorogued until the 4th ot November next.

Tbeir lordships then separated. RAILWAY LAW. The Parliamentary session having drawn to a close, and the fate of many of the railway projects being now ascertained, parties connected with tbm are naturally anxious to understand their legal position audPhe numerous cases which have been investigated and decided in our law courts during the last few months render the present a favourable opportunity to present our readers wi'h the folio ing brief summary of the best established principles affecting the liabilities of the different parties who are concerned in railway proceedings. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF ALLOTTEES IN ABANDONED SCHEMES. It is now clearly established that an allottee who has paid his deposit upon shares in a scheme which is ahan doned without applying to Parliament, can recover hack his disposit from the promoters of the scheme, without anv deduction for preliminary expenses.

Thus, where the promoters have failed to allot the requisite number of shares, or having allotted them, have abandoned the scheme without applying to Parliament, or have induced the public to apply for allotments by means of frnndnlent representations, in all these cases the entire deposit may be recovered back, and the expenses must fall upon the raana gers. In most of them the allottee may bring an action at law, or file a bill in Chancery, against any one of the promoters who has acted, or held himself out to the world as acting, in the formation and carrying out of the scheme. The allottee of shares in such an abandoned scheme cannot be sued for the payraeot of the deposit, if he have not paid it, nor can he be compelled to contribute towards the payment of tbe debts aud expenses which the promoters have incurred. 2. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF ALLOTTP.RS IV SCHEMES WHICH ARE NOT ABANDONED BY THE PROMOTERS.

The position of an allottee who applies for shares in a scheme which the projectors do not abandon, but carry out so far as by tbe prospectus tbey may have contracted to do, or so far as the conduct of the allottees will enable them to do, is somewhat different to the position of those tvho have formed the subject of our first division. These allottees, if they make default, may pnhahly be liable to an action to recover damages from them for the breach of their contract with the promoters, or to a suit in Chancery for the double purpose of recovering the deposit, and enforcing tbe execution by ihem of tbe parliamentary con tract and subscribers' agreement. 3. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF ALLOTTEES IN SCHEMES WHICH ARE REJECTED BY PARLIAMENT. Before a scheme is brought into Parliament, the usual deeds are invariably signed by the allottees, and these deeds confer upon tbe promoters ample powers to carry on or abandon the scheme, and to pay all necessary expensfa attending tbe same.

Therefore, in cases where the pro moters have done all that it ia necessary to place the merits of the scheme before Parliament, but Parliament rejects it, the allottees must submit to tbe terms of the deed they have signed and probably the only power they possess is that of checking the promoters in any improper payment or dealing with the funds of the Company. cut where the allottee baa signed the usoal deeds, but the proper number of shares are not subscribed, or any rrauu was practised upon him by the promoters, or the scheme is abandoned in an unauthorised manner, he will have tbe same remedies against the promoters as if no deed had been signed bv him. 4. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF SCRI PHOLDERS. A mere purchaser of scrip, or of letters of allotment, or of bankers' receipts, has no rights against, and incurs no liabilities to the promoters.

If the scheme in which he baa acquired an interest he abandoned, he must look to the party from whom he bought, and it ia very doubtful whether he has any implied rights against bim. The case of Thomson v. Sanders, which appears to establish such rights, is not relied upon ry lawyers, although it has not yet been expiessly overruled. It ia, however, possible that the holder of these documents may have a right to use the name of the original allottee for the purpose of proceeding against the promoters, but there are many difficulties in the way of such a step, and the poiut has yet to be decided. 5.

RIGHTS OF CREDITORS TO SUE THE PROMOTERS. ENGI NEER, SOLICITOR, OR OTHER OFFICER OF A SCHEME. The creditors, like the allottees, may sue any of 'he promoters who has acred, or held himself ont to the world as acting, in the formation sud carrying out of the scheme. These parties constitute the Compauy, or project, or scheme and each or all of them is or are liable for all debts properly incurred tor the advancement of the com mon design. The engineer, solicitor, secretary, or other officer of tbe company, may, by th- ir conduct, render themselves personally liable; bet the mere circumstance of tbeir holding office id the company, that is to say, being the servants o-the company, cannot render them responsible for tbe debts of the company, their employers.

On the other hand, tbey have no power to bind the company by virtue of tbeir offices alone such a power must be expressly conferred upon them. Therefore, tbe engineers' assistants, or tbe solicitors' clerks, or any other sub-contractors, cannot sue the projectors or company. If this were suffered the confusion it would canse would be indescribable. It wonld he just as absurd as to allow alia tailor's workmen to sue a customer who had ordered a coat from their master for wages due to them from him for making the coat. 6.

RIGHTS OF DIRECTORS OR PROMOTERS. The directors or promoters may recover contributions from each other for all expenses connected with the scheme which tbey are called upon to pay. At law they may recover tbe proportionate part of each, with reference to the whole number of promoters, but without any regard to the solvency of tbe others: thus, if there are ten. and one pays a debt, only a tenth cau be recovered from each of the tbers bat in eqnity an equal contribution can be en- fieet, at pe lt, hMit for the out-nanners to be delivered hr the. rmtractore, in sucu quanuues ana at such times and i O0DUT u7 within their respective districts, as the Board of places nr their Relieving Officer shall dirrt nd the at articles for the Workhouse to be delivered, free of ex- -an- at such times and in such quantities as mav be di- mrted.

We bad expected by tbe end of this month to have reported that the harvest in this county had been brought to a close however, such is not the -a THi moT. called most truly a catching harvest not that we have had a long succession of rain, but more froua the occurrence of Sudden and violent storms of wind, hail, rain, with mnch thunder and lightning. The cutting of corn, especially wheal, commenced in the last week of Jnly, which was six weeks earlier than last year. All went on extremely favourably till the storm on the memorable 1st of August. That was a day in which a large quantity of wheat was led from the field, but many stacks were overtaken by tbe deluge of rain which fell ia the evening, before they wero roofed, and consequently were soaked with wet and unless great care was observed in having them partially unmade, and the corn dried, they received much damage for if covered up iu that wet state, the corn sprouted, aud the sample will be inferior.

Similar circumstances occurred on other occasions with the like effect. From these heavy rains, corn wbich was in the field also was considerably affected, and ih change in the colour both of straw and corn out of the same was very remarkable that got ia before the storm, was due and bright while that wbich stood the pelting," looked as though it had been sprinkled witb a mixture of soot and water. The weather being extremely close aud warm, sprouting speedily commenced, nnd will be the canse of deteriorating what otherwise would have been a most excellent quality. We will now venture a few remarks upon the quantity and quality of this impor-'aat article of food, tbe produce of this harvest. Dry seasons are proverbially suitable to the growth of wheat on all 'he stronger descriptions of soil, a large breadth of which is annually planted with grain.

On the poorer kind of laud, on e'evated situations, and when imperfectly drained, from various causes, tbe plant was exeeediogly scanty, and by tbe long drought received such a chock that they are very light and the hulk of straw deficient. Many of these crops, too, were in a foul state; for when the raia did come, the weeds made every progress, and filled the vacant ground and it was so late that no time was left for cleansing them from rubbish. In many places the stubbles will testify the truth of this remark. On these lands we are of opinion that the yield will be very deficient the qnaliry may be gold, if not sprouted, bnt it is to be feared rhat little of these crops were honsed before the storms, and no donbt will suffer from this cause. On the best quality of wheat land, we believe that the yield will be au average one, but nothing beyond, in this neighbourhood and, upon the whole, we are inclined to state that the quantity will not be so great aa in either 1844 or 1845.

The result as to qualify, where samples are free from sprouted grain, will be excellent, quite equal to that of 1844. The comparison between the quality of the wheat this year with that of last is greatly in favour of the former. We have thrashed bar little at present, yet enough to test the quality, and this is the result the very beat we gr-w of the same description of wheat, and on similar land, last year, weighed not more tbau 17st. 4lbs. the sack, quality, of course, bad the best we have thrashed this season weighs 18st.

11 lbs. This shows an increase of 3at. per qr. in the new wheat, amounting to over eight per cent. The less quantity of bran wbich will be produced in grinding will mak up the overplus to at least ten per cent.

This is a gratifying circumstance for should tbe quantity of corn be found deficient, an average supply of bread may he afforded to the people, and tbe quality superior. As regards spring corn fhe case is very different. The long drought has had a most injurious effect upon all these crops. Barley is very short in the straw, and bulk light. There are no heavy crops of this grain, except on the richest land, and there they are not jual to an average of seasons, and the yield will be very deficienr.

Barley was later than wheat this season consequently, a great bulk of tbe crop was not got in before the heavy rain which commenced on the night of the A large quantity was ready for stacking about that time, and. from the continued rain through the week, is greatly injured, moat of the ears whieh lay close to the ground having grown. In eon-sequence of this, the quanM'y of fine barley which can be brought fo market will be very small iodeed. and no doubt the price will be high. The colour of that which has been ont in the wet will he very bad, and altogether the produce of this grain will be qualify inferior.

Perhaps, of all spring cropping, oats are the best but they are far from a bulky crop, and will be below an average produce. The dronght bad fhe greatest and worst effect upon beans. From the lack of moisture, the blossoms fell off, and no pods formed this, combined with the thinning of tbe plants by grubs, and the defect from bad seed, has nrn- duced a most miserable crop. Never did we observe a more general failure in any season scarcely a really good field is to be seen, and in many they are not worth the trouble and expense of getting and taking to market. They are now almost all cut, aa tbey ripened prematurely if the present fine weather continues another week, what there are of them will be got into the stack.

The barley, too, which has heen cut for some time, will all be in tbe stackyard, as tbe last day or two has greatly dried it and though grown and discoloured, It will be got together in fair condition where people have patience to give it time. We may conclude that the harvest will be finished in this county by tbe end of next week, if tbe weather continues favourable. This has been a harvest particularly perplexing to the farmer iu one respect. All the work came on together, and it was impossible to get sufficient labourer to be at all points. The tornips were late and not finished hoeing, and many are in a bad state, aa it was impossible, with the wheat quite ripe, to attend to them.

loss has been experienced by the wheat shedding, as it could not be cut fast enough to prevent it. The circumstance of so few Irishmen coming f.r harvest work this year hat added to the difficulty, the effect of the failure of the potato crop in that country. This appears a paradox. Food bing scanty in their own country, the natural supposition is that a larger number than usual would have turned out for harvest work in England bnt it is not so, and the difficulty is solved by tbe fact of the Government feeding a 'arge share of the people at home. The Irish labourer would rather subsist upon iilms obtained from tbe English exchequer, than speed to th it country, and labour at harvest work.

If, in consequence of tbe failure of the potatoes, a great portion of the Irish are to be fed by tbe state," the little industry they possess will leave them, and they will become idlers, and look to Government for support rather than earn their bread by tbe sweat of their brow. If it pleases Providence to destroy tbe potatoes wbich are in Ireland, but which ought not to be the principal food for man, why do they not eat the wheat and other grain which is grown in their country Simply because they have not the money to hny ir. But again, why are they not in a position to pay for and eat tbe bread, the staff of lite, which they produce Let this question be answered by their rulers. The flippant manner in which writers in newspapers and editors speak of agricultural affairs is trnly astonishing, especially the daily press. When they come to figures, tbeir errors generally carry their antidotes with them.

Where oeonl at th'o. trouble to examine, this will be found to be tbe fact bnt the effect is to impose upon the public false statements which are calculated to do much mischief. We are told in a leading article in the Daily New of yesterday, which purports to be copied from the Globe, that tbe loss to Ireland last rear by tbe failure of the potato crop wa 10,000.000, and The Cork Reporter calculates that 130.888 acres are planted with potatoes ihia year." Now, it is fair to presume that nearly as many acres were plauted with this root this year as in tbe preceding one S7.
