ACTIVITY OF THE POLICE. was surprised to see no notice taken, in your papei, 01 a tase that came on at the Guildhall, last of hve young men, apprehended on the Sunday, for playing at pitch and garden in St. Sidwell's. It appeared that four out of the lodged in the house, which is kept by a widow, and that they had committed no legal notwithstanding, they bad been taken up like felons, and kept in prison all night.

I re-ret to observe also, that the fees of the court are genexallv touch heavier than the fines of justice.

Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.

Meeting ofthe Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in foreign parts, was held at the Clarence Hotel on Thursday. The usual congregation of the children under the patronage of the Society for the diffusion of christian knowledge, took place at the Cathedral in the morning wliere a sermon was preached by the Rev. Lord Henry Kerr. After the conclusion of the sermon the customary meeting of the friends of both societies took place. Here we would state at the outset that the present anniversary exhibited a marked departure from all the previous arrangements ot these venerable bodies.

It was formerly the custom for a few ot the leading members and friends of each society to assemble in the Guildhall, the Bishop in tie chair, and then merely go through a few routine resolutions. On the present occasion in imitation oj the dissenters, the meeting was held in a public assembly rco deputation attended from London to stir them up, and seve a ltnrthened speeches were delivered for the same purpose. Karl Devon, Sir Thomas Acland, and Bishop Philpotts were amongst the speakers. The speech of the hon. Bart was one of he mort Successful we ever heard- fill of fine energy aud enthusiasm.

Lord yon also spoke at some length and with great effi lhe meet ing was crowdedly and fashionably attended. We had prepared a report but omit it for want of room. A general meeting of the St. Sidwell Vv ard Reform Association, will take place at the Axminster Inn, Paris Street, on Monday next, at eight o'clock in the evening. It is expected that the proceedings will be rendered peculiarly interesting by communications from several gentlemen who will be present on the occasion, more especially as a large attendance may with confidence be anticipated.

The unique and splendid gardens of Mr. Pince were the scene of a novel and interesting horticultural fete on Wednesday last, that gentleman is as genuine a gardener as any true son ot Adam canoe, and having built an extensive room, to be devoted to the growth of the Camellia, he determined to open it in a style ot horticultural gaiety that should be worthy of tbe occasion. The Camellia, we need not remark, is one of the fine st tribes of plants the world, and was introduced into this country from Japan about 60 years since.

Mr. Pince has built a room to be devoted solely to their growth, 200 feet in length, and 22 wide. It stands due north and south and as the plant delights in shade, it is so contrived that it escapes the direct rays of the mid-day morning and evening rays only being caught on each side. It is only partially stocked as yet, but with plants worth upwards of £1000. To celebrate the event Mr.

Pince gave a dinner to gentlemen's gardeners, and several prizes to be contended for. About 80 attended, some coming from a elistance of eighty or ninety miles, and having chosen judges from among themselves, a very spirited competition took place, and tbe prizes were awarded as stated below. After the show the company sat down to a most bountiful dinner Mr. Pince, chairman, supported by Mr. Nott, the foreman, as vice.

The greatest unanimity and good feeling prevailed throughout the day, and the company separated highly delighted with this truly horticultural treat. The room was most gorgeously decorated with flowers, ami on the tables, suspended from plants, were all the gold and silver medals, won by the worthy host from the Metropolitan Societies; and the silver cups won by him "in Exeter, teemed with generous wine, and many a libation was poured forth to the health of the Queen, the founder of the feast, List of Pine Apple, Mr. Nivin, gardener to the Rev.

Tiie first ploughing match, or competition for the premiums of this recently established, but now numerous and most respectable society, took place on Wednesday last, in a Wf Farm," within the parish of Colyton, the property of Sir W. 1. ole.

Bart, and now tenanted by Mr. Loveridge. At an early hour of the morning, the rural town of Colyton exhibited live symptoms ofthe gay day which followed. The bells rang merrily, the brass band paraded.the streets, and colours waved from the Jurchtower and the front of the Dolphin Inn. About nine clock tin.

our appointed for the ploughmen to meet the committee on the ground, all the roads leading thither, were thronged with vehicles of every description, and pedestrians. The field selected tor the match, which measured about ten acres, lay in one of the most romantic situations imaginable-en the south west side of the acclivity, nearly midway between the dilapidated Castle of Colcombe, and the ancient baronial hall of Shute, commanding extensive prospects of some ofthe richest and most beautiful scenery in the county. A portion ofthe north east end of the enclosure was reserved for the accommodation ofthe public, and the numerous booths and standings which were erected by the innkeepers, of the neighbourhood. The premiums offered, were as v-W-.

This toast was acknowledged by W. E. Pole, Esq. The health of Lady Pole followed, from the chair, which was received by loud and continued cheering, and was politely and eloquently acknowledged by W. E.

EXETER TURNPIKE TRUST.

A special meeting of this Trust was held on Wednesday last, at the Globe Hotel, John Sillifant, junr. in the chair. Ihe object ofthe meeting was to set aside the standing order which prevented the Trust voting more than £50. for any improvement tin the debt was reduced, and then to grant £600. towards the improvement of the Magdalen Hill.

The meeting was fully attended. Col. Fulford moved the rescinding of the standing order. Mr. Buller seconded the motion, which, afcer some observations from other Trustees, was put and carriei, there being tor it 26, against it 2.

Mr. Buller now rose to propose the grant of £600. briefly recapitulating the facts of the the improvement was one ot great necessity, and the advantages of having it effected by the grant of the land necessary for the purpose from the Charity tees, and the advancement of the requisite sum beyond the £600. from the Exeter Improvement Commissioners. The hon.

gent, also enforced the claims which Exeter had from the numerous toll gates round it, and the increase in the value of the tolls of the road. Colonel Fulford seconded the motion. Capt. Hull drew attention to the neglected state ofthe Exmouth road, in which he was supported by Capt. Williams, who also drew attention to the very dangerous state of the road from the Artillery Arms at Holloway, to Messrs.

Waite and Teinpleton's schoolastic establishment at Larkbear. Mr. Robt. Davy also adverted to the very dangerous state of this spot, which was very generally admitted. Mr Watts would move an amendment, that the sum be not granted and contended that if the Trust had that sum of money to spare they could not better dispose of it than by devoting it to the completion of the new road over Haldon.

Rev. Mr. Cole seconded the amendment. He could not discharge his duty without opposing this grant. Nfwm a and D.

Acland supported the motion. Mr Buller replied, and the motion, after a few observations from Mr. S. Kingdon, was put and carried. soon as the motion was carried, it was moved that the stanuine order not to grant more than £50.

should be re-enacted. Mr Watts gave notice that he should, at the next meeting, ask foif a vote of £2,000 to complete the Newton road, and expressed much surprize at the anxiety of parties to re-enact the standing or Nir rS i RT Newmln', Bart. said, that be certainly in some re- viewW Mr.Watts had JUjijg itveryextraordu ary improvement that might be no!

It might be why he had not given this reply the parties making them no given bin a fair opportunity of doing had never been made in his presence. The Surveyor stated that as the quarterly payments to the contractors were about to become, due, it would be aatoefcetorj to he Trust perhaps to have a detail of what each contractor was doing.

CREDITON. On Saturday last, a general meeting of the Crediton Reform Association took place in the New Market-room, and although Unimportant fair at Tiverton, and the market at Crediton, caused the absence of many of the zealous yeomanry and tradesmen of the neighbourhood, vet the room was well filled. The President ofthe Association, Sir H. P. Davie, with the Vice-President, J.

Silhfant, Jun, J. W. Buller, Esq. and J. H.

Hippesly, Esqrs, were present. The latter gentleman had long been known as a literary character, and as of decidedly liberal principles, but not having before appeared on the political presence on this occasion may be well considered as a heavy blow it a great discouragement" to the tories. Besides the four gentlemen above named wa observed the following Daw, Pring, Saunders, R. Madge, Blagdon, Wm. Wreford, D.

Tremlett, James Partridge, Jno. Partridge, Phil. Davy, E. T. Ward, Thos.

Western, Jas. Lee, T. Lee. Moon, and many other respectable yeomen and tradesmen ot the town and neighbourhood. Mr.

Davy gave a detail ofthe proceedings of the committee, and also an account of the meetings at South Molton since the last general meeting, and Mr. Pring having enlarged on the importance of the Association and congratulated the meeting on the accession of Mr. Hippesley as a member. Mr. Hippesley then rose and made some pertinent remarks relative to his becoming a member of the Association, and afterwards proceeded to speak of Mr.

Buller in the highest terms, saying, that he was every way fitted to represent them in Parliament, to which honourable post he hoped whenever a vacancy occurred to see him elected as he was such a firm supporter of the cause of reform. Mr. Sillifant also spoke very strongly in praise of Mr. Buller, whose luminous and statesman-like exposition of his principles, at the Southmolton dinner, he said elicited the admiration of all who heard him. Mr.

Buller on rising was received with tremendous cheering. He said that he was undeserving of many of the compliments that had been paid him. To this the meeting simultaneously cried no, no." He then proceeded in eloquent and forcible language to impress upon the meeting the necessity of union among all clases of reformers, who lie believed constituted a great majority of the nation. He had ever been of opinion that the reformers of Devon, when united, were invincible; but if they suffered themselves to be div ided then their enemies who were both strong and active would be sure to overcome them. The usual business of the meeting having been settled, and many new members admitted, Mr.

Hippesley moved a vote of thanks to Sir H. Davie, for his conduct in the chair. This was received with unbounded applause, which the worthy and philanthropic baronet appropriately acknowledged, and expressed the gratification he felt at witnessing such great accessiohs of new members every time he presided. The Bishop held a confirmation at Crediton, last Wednesday. Before the confirmation, the new burying-ground was consecrated.

His lordship, who we are told, appeared in bad health, sat under an awning erected on purpose, the whole time, and made short work of the ceremony. Very few besides those who were waiting to be confirmed, and those in attendance upon him, were there. To what cause the absence of the people is to be attributed, we know not. We hope it is not because they attach no importance to the ceremony. After the confirmation, the streets had more the appearance of a fair, than anything elseapples, plums, sweetmeats, were exposed for sale in great regret to say that several of those who had received the Bishop's blessing," were reeling about the streets After the service was over on Wednesday night, about £21 was collected towards the funds ofthe Devon and Exeter Hospital.

The organ was tried by the master hand of Wesley, the services being chaunted by the Exeter Cathedral choir. This instrument hardly equalled the expectation excited, but the church was too densely crammed to give it a fair chance. Crediton Church. organ of the Church having undergone considerable improvements, Mr. Hayes, the newlyelected Organist, will commence his duties on Sunday, he will be assisted by many professional gentlemen and amateurs from this city.

From the select of Music which will be performed, the parishioneers will experience a rich treat; the Chants, Responses, Anthems, and Psalms, are beautiful, and we congratulate the Governors on the elections of an Organists whose abilities entitle him to rank high in his profession. A youth of this place, about fourteen years of age, was baptized last Tuesday, and confirmed the next day, and we suppose will receive the sacrament on Sunday, as Parson Rowe has earnestly invited all who were confirmed to come to the Supper next Sunday. CHULMLEIGH. (From a Correspondent.) Bishop Phillpotts and his Lady, with their retinue, arrived here on Saturday last, in time to dine with the Rev. Geo.

Hole, where they took up their abode until Monday afternoon. His lordship preached a sermon on Sunday, from Luke, chap. 7, verse 12 subject could only be partially heard, but this was of little consequence to the mingled multitude who were assembled merely from curiosity, whilst a great number resolved to remain at home who possessed neither curiosity nor respect for the rev. diocesan. On Monday his lordship held a confirmation here, but owing to the industry of that naughty numerous body of wretched dissenters, can didates for this high church ordinance were not over numerous altogether 400 partook of this rite, who on account of their heartfelt repentance for past offences, their solemn determination and vow to keep God's holy will and commandments, and to walk in the same, until their lives end, have, by his lordship, been requested to partake of the holy sacrament on Sunday next.

Some idea of the fitness of these regenerated beings, to partake of that sacred feast, may be formed by their answers. One of them at Ringsash being asked by his Pastor, what it cost the Saviour to redeem mankind, replied a gert yale money I spose sir." That the number of candidates was not greater is perhaps not much to be wondered at, forno soonerwas the Rev.Mr.Head's letter generally known in this town, than a thousand copies were ordered to be printed, which were soon distributed far and wide. A number of them were posted about the town, to the great annoyance of the rev. divines, who manifested no small degree of rage, by scowling looks and private scolding. These letters perhaps were calculated to thwart much of the laborious efforts of the clergy, who had for several successive Sundays been straining every nerve to persuade their little congregations ofthe indispensible necessity of this unscriptural ceremony.

How much better would it be if these worthy bishops were relieved from the performance of these Popish duties, and from their legislative toils also, than the people of the industrious, oppressed, and priest-ridden people of be relieved from the expence of maintaining these twenty-four worthies at from 10 to 40 thousand a year each, to support in luxury and pride, these arbitary prelates. When I read, mark, and inwardly digest the conduct of these wolves in sheep's clothing, taking them as a body, I am thought with the reflection, and italmost makesme grind my teeth at the bare sight of any thing black. Do they know what Zachariah saith unto them. Do they read the words of Ezekiel, if not, let them carefully peruse what the prophet saith unto them in the 34th chapter, and it will be like a mirror before their eyes but I fear the bible, like christian conduct, is a stranger to too many of them. TIVERTON.

Inquests held before Mr. G. S. Gervis, coroner for the borough. On Monday, on the body of Mr.

Henry B. Besley, aged 23. It appeared from the evidence that he had for many years been afflicted with epileptic fits, which almost invariably attacked him in the night. He had been in his usual health the night before, but was taken in a fit on Sunday morning, and had every assistance from his mother, in whose room he has always slept. She visited him several times but saw no reason to apprehend any peculiar danger.

About seven, she found him apparently dead Mr. J. F. Quick, surgeon, was immediately sent for, who found that he was quite was of opinion that he had died of epilepsy, accompanied by a paralysis ofthe right side. The jury of course returned a verdict of Died by the visitation of God." Monday afternoon, on the body of John Frost, aged 21, who had been found dead early on Monday morning, under an apple tree in a field, close to the town, on the Southmolton road.

He had not been seen by his friends since Saturday. Apples were found in his pockets and one lying beside him, and it was supposed he had climbed into the tree (which was a large one) and had fallen to the ground and been killed. No surgeon was examined, the jury being satisfied with the opinion of the Coroner, who is himself a surgeon. A verdict was returned of Found dead." On Tuesday evening, on the body of Rachel Boobeer, aged 86. It appeared that on the fair day (Saturday) she had a stall on which was a board for playing black and white cock, a well known game of chance, in the Lowman Green, adjoiningthe horse fair.

A young man came upabout eleven in the forenoon, and stakeda penny. He won, and of course demanded to be paid. The old woman young man then took away part of the apparatus for playing, and refused to give it up except he had his penny. A long dispute ensued length the old woman laid hold of him by the collar to make him give up the cup, he pushed her away, she fell with her head on the footway, and retaining her hold on him pulled him to the ground with her. She was taken up and was able to walk back without any assistance, and seat herself on tbe stool on which she had before been sitting, but shortly afterwards she fell from her stool into a deep gutter which was close behind was raised and remained insensible, and soon afterwards taken home.

She died on Monday night. The surgeon who attended her was of opinion that she died of a concussion of the brain, caused by the fall on the paved footpath. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental death." TOTNES. A few days since, a woman in a journey from Totnes to Ashburton, where she resides, called at a public house in the road to get refreshment. On her departure, the landlord observed something suspicious, and having lately lost several articles from his house, called his wife to see Of all was right in the room where the woman had been sitting she found that a quart jug had been taken away the landlord immediately pursued the woman, and found the jug in her basket, with his name on constable was called and she was taken before a reverend magistrate, who expressed himself satisfied that she had stolentheartiele.

TOPSHAM. A funeral sermon was delivered at the Unitarian Chapel, on Sunday evening on tne lamented death of Mr.

Hodder, by the Rev. Mr. Hunter. The chapel was crowdedly and respectably attended, and the sermon did great credit to the feeling and talent of the preacher, from its unaffected pathos, and pure and genuine sympathy with the melancholy subject under consideration. Many of the congregation shed tears.

Improvement meeting to consider the propriety of applying to Parliament for an Improvement Act, was rally attended last week, and a general feeling of unanimity prevailed. All parties express a desire to see the town improved, being aware that the interests, as well as the convenience and comfort of the inhabitants will be enhanced by it. One or two of the leading in- I whom we hear are Lieut. Ross and Capt. Hewson, whose concurrence was thought certain from the proposal, but the general feeling of the town is warmly in favour of the scheme.

National sermon will he preached at the church on Sunday next, by the Rev. Christopher Bartholomew. The independent chapel in this town is rapidly approaching completion, lt will be an elegant, roomy, and tasteful structure, highly complimentary to the taste of this body of christians, who have nearly as large a number of disciples within the pale of the professed established church as out of it. The take of pilchards outside the river has been very greet, and our boats have returned plentifully laden with the spoils. A boat came in on Sunday afternoon with many thousands, caught off Dawlish in the morning, including a few hundred mackrel.

Our fishermen do not like the pilchards so well as herrings, but the chouders care nothing about it, and sell them all as herrings, when they take them inland. TIVERTON REGISTRATION. The lists for the borough of Tiverton were revised by the barristori on Thursday, and tor the Tivercon division of the county, on Friday and Saturday. The reformers succeeded in all their oh- jections on the borough list, excepting those to the Masters of 1 Blundell's School, who have been once struck off, and once retained. The parties remain much as they did last year is a slight gain in the borough, and a slight loss in the county list.

Seven persons ofthe name of Wood, who were objected to last year by the tories, were this year again objected to by them, and struck barrister of last year considering it a freehold the barrister of this year considered it a charity. On Wednesday, the mayor and assessors revised the burgess Radford, one of the aldermen objected to, declined to defend out of the ten claims were allowed. ASHBURTON REGISTRATION. From our Correspondent. seen a very incorrect account of the result of this registration in Woolmer's paper of last week, i I beg to give you a plain statement of the facts Tories overjoyed at their slight gain at this registration, are in extacies at their success, and have already raised the shout of triumph in an- ticipation of that victory, which is never destined to grace their cause.

The prospect of an election, and of a Tory member at once presents itself of their heated imaginations. Man is born to disap- pointment as the sparks fly upwards. The Conservatives can vouch for the correctness of this proverb, and the next election will serve fa convince them more strongly of its truth. Majority of the Reformers at the last Election 11 Gain by ditto, at registration of 1837 3 Neutral voters at the last Election, who will now vote for Mr. Lushington 3 1 Deduct lost to the Reformers by removals and deaths 1 16 Gain by the Tories at the last registration 6 Majority for the Reformers 10 Thus you will see the Reformer's have nothing to fear, even if an election were to take place immediately.

Ashburton! says Woolmer's Tory correspondent. Hurrah for Ashburton say and you may rest assured, that this borough will maintain at all times that character for independence which it has gained in the repeated battles its Reformers have fought, and always successfully, since 1831. The following are two ofthe judgments of Mr. Sanders, the Revising Barister, who in a number of cases set aside the decisions of his predecessors. Robert Stephens, was objected to by the Reformers.

It appeared that he was a freeholder, and the objection was, that he had not resided within seven miles of the borough for six months previous to July, as required by the Reform Act. It seemed that Stephens was a farmer, and that in October or November, 1837, he gave up his farm, and let it to a tenant, but that he reserved two rooms in the farm bouse, which were partly furnished, and in one of which was abed. The house since November 1837, had been occupied by a labourer of the tenant. Stephens on leaving, expressed his intention of occasionally returning. In November last, he sold off his stock, went with his wife to Windsor, where he resided several months, and to which place the greater part of his furniture, with his apprentice, was sent to him by his directions.

About the latter end of July or beginning of August last, his father died, when he returned into Devonsliire, went to the farm house and slept there three or four nights. He was now about to take a house either in London or Court decided that this was a sufficient evidence, and in answer to an observation as to the length of time the voter was absent, stated that a man might be absent for ten years and still be considered to reside in the borough. Wm. Symons, was objected to by the reformers. He was a labourer, who lived in a small cottage, at £2 12s.

rent; he stated, that in July 1837, he made a bargain with his master, to take three fields adjoining the in consequence of a dispute, he afterwards agreed with his master's wife the premises belonged) for the his rent for the whole was £l(i, and he produced a receipt signed by his landlord's wife for half years rent, due in January last. On cross-examination, he admitted that he had nothing wherewith to stock the ground but two his master had bought all the turnips and grass up to Lady.day last, to which time the fields were stocked by his master's he had said a few weeks since, that it was all a sham concern before Lady-day. On re-examination, he stated, that he had been told he could not be a vote by taking the fields of his master, as they belonged to his wife, and that was what he meant by a sham concern. A witness was then called by the reformers, who proved the voter had told him, several times, that his master had all the produce of the fields till Lady-day last -that it was all sham before that time, and that the whole was done to try to'make him a vote. The Revising Barrister decided i iiat the vote good.

TOTNES REGISTRATION. The registration for the borough of Totnes commenced on Tuesday, the 2nd October, and was completed on Wednesday before E. Smirke, Esq All parties appeared gratified at Mr. Smirke's impartiality. The result is as follows Reformers.

Tories. New voters added by the Overseers 32 15 New claims allowed Struck off on objections, and dead men ..22 7 19 16 Gain to the reformers 3, at the last election the majority of Mr. 1 arrott, the lowest reformer on the poll was 38, (Mr. P's committee stated it to be 39,) gain at the registration in 1837 was 7. which will of course give the reformers a majority of 48, being an increase of ten since the last election.

The tories succeeded in 8 only out of 23 claims, and struck off only 22 out of nearly 80 objections. In addition to the above an exciseman and surveyor of taxes were struck off, who of course could not have voted if on the register. Mr. Baldwin was in the revision court for a considerable time on Tuesday, but he left apparently not pleased with the result of the tory objections. Mr.

Tucker and Mr. Windeatt appeared for tbe liberals, and Mr. Abbott for the tories. Mr. Abbott was as usual assisted by a couple of Bankers' is it that the managers of the Devon and Cornwall Bank, at Totnes, can allow their clerk to absent himself from his duties on the monthly great market, the busiest day in the month Are his duties so light that on such a day he can "give up all his time to matters political? There was another banker's clerk present, who with a view to strike off a gentleman from the list by shewing he had a partner, gave private information that he kept a joint account at the bank with this supposed partner.

Mr. Abbott stated it to be the fact, looking at the clerk in question, and wished Mr. Tucker to give up the vote T. said if the fact was so he (Mr. Abbott) had better prove it, but the banker's clerk had some modesty, and declined to give evidence.

This process may be very serviceable to tory objectors, and also to the interests of the we doubt it. The tories had flattered themselves they would obtain a considerable o-ain at this registration, but as usual the anticipated victoryhas ended in a defeat. We understand many of the party complain of the conduct of their leaders in always promising great things which are never realized. One of the party said he thought they had better drink less punch and work more, and we understand since the punch bills have been to be paid, Mr. Baldwin thinks so too.

PLYMOUTH and DEVONPORT. On Friday last Mr. John Revell, of Brixton, was chosen Relieving Officer of the Plympton St. Mary Union; there were onto Thirty -three applicants for the situation I The beautiful village of Tamerton I-olliott was enlivened on Friday last by a Ploughing Match, which took place in a field belonging to Mr. Joachim.

Last week two men named asley and Jordan, received injuries at Mr. Davie's stone quarries, Pomfleet, by a part of the cliff upon which Waslev was standing suddenly gave way he was precipitated from a height of at least 120 feet into the quarry below and he was nearly buried in the fragments of stone and rubbish Jordan seeing the accident instantly went to his assistance, but as the latter advanced, a second fall of the cliff took place, and he was also severely hurt. Mr. Roberts, surgeon, of Plymouth, and Mr.

Jordan is a son ot tin celebrated wrestler, and is possessed of even greater physical powers than his father he has been known to carry a block ot stone weighing upwards of eight hundred pounds on his shoulders.

During nearly the whole of this month we have been favoured with exceedingly favourable weather for the harvest, by which our tanners have been enabled to secure their crops in excellent condition.

Ihe opinions respecting the yield of the present year's harvest, winch we stated in our last month's report, have been verified almost to the very letter. Still, however, inaccurate statements respecting the productiveness of the crops have been freely circulated. In most counties, south of the Humber, the harvest has been, in most instances, brought to a general and auspicious conclusion whilst the northern parts of England considerable quantities of all kinds of grain have already been secured in most excellent condition. However, we do not anticipate that the harvest will be fully secured in Yorkshire before the middle of October, even with a continuance of favourable weather. It has been stated that the quality of the wheat is by no means so fine as was that grown last year we, however, are' enabled to assert, without fear of that such is not the fact.

In Scotland the harvest appears to be pretty general, even in the most northern parts, and nearly the whole of the barley has been already housed in the western quarters. All other kinds of grain come to the sickle in good condition. Although the potatoe crop is good, high prices are demanded for potatoes, on account of the large quantities which are annually shipped to the London market. A small quantity of most kinds of grain is still uncut in the north of Ireland but the crops are nearly all secured, in most excellent condition in other parts of the Isle. omplamts have reached us of the insect having made consider a de ravages amongst the turnip crop, fa Lincolnshire and Leicestershire but we are enabled to state, that in other parts of England turnips are looking remarkably healthy.

regret to state that so extensive has the mould been apparent in many jdantations, both in Essex and Kent, that the growers have resolved, especially as government has not consented to allow the drawjack on hops, to allow, in some cases, the hops thus seriously affected, to remain unpicked; vet we do not think, from the circumstance of the duty being still backed at £155,000, that the growth will be so short as we have been led to anticipate. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR NORTH DEVON. As the harvest in this division of the county is pretty nearly concluded, I think I can venture an opinion on the state of the crops, which will no doubt prove acceptable to you. The weather on the whole has been favourable for harvest operations. Barley and oats are very abundant crops, and the quality very fine (except in some few instances, as I stated in my last report) where the farmers have been in too much haste in stacking it, and have been actually compelled to cart it to the fields again, to prevent its being "totally spoiled.

The oat crop, in particular, is unusually fine, indeed better than has been seen in this neighbourhood for many years. I wish it was in my power to speak of wheat in such flattering terms, but the mask is now withdrawn, and the flail and winnowing machine, have put to the test the produce of many acres, and those farmers who flattered themselves, tbat they had 'an average crop, now see to their sorrow, that the producers not so much by onethird as they had previously calculated upon in short, I do not consider that the average for fifty parishes in the neighbourhood of Great Torrington, will at all exceed twelve imperial bushels per sad deficiency, which will be severely felt before this time twelvemonths. The grain is in general small and shrivelled, and not to be compared with the produce of last year by Is. 6d. or 2s.

per bushel. The turnip crop has wonderfully improved of late, and tins useful article has, this season, totally escaped the depredations of the black caterpillar, so that there will'be no want of this valuable article for winter feeding. Potatoes are very abundant, never were they looking better. Fat bullocks and sheep meet with a ready sale at remunerating prices; store cattle and sheep have, within the last month, materially decreased in value, stdl there is no reason, on the whole, for the farmers complaining of the present price of agricultural produce. LOCAL FAIRS AND MARKETS.

Cattle There was rather a moderate supply of all kinds of bullocks, particularly fat bullocks those which were exhibited were brought from Bridgwater on Tuesday last.

The supply of Stock was plentiful at late In the Horse fair on both days there was a great deal of business done horses were rather scarce; many cart colts, but not of a first-rate quality. There were plenty of jockeys and jockeying, and some flashy well-dressed horse-stealers beguded some of the dealers. Tiverton Fair, Sept. show of sheep was tolerably good, but not so large as we have seen before, they were in fair request and mostly sold, wethers fetched from to 6d ewes, 5d to sjd per the bullock fair was unusually thin good cows and calves were much inquired for, and soldfroni £10 to £15 each good fat beef was scarce at about 9s per score.

Totnes Great Market, Oct. 2, 1838. Bullocks, the supply was smaller than we almost ever remember to have seen on a Michaelmas market day, and the best things met a ready sale at late prices; the secondary qualities were mostly bought by the Naval Contractor, at a decline of from 3s. to ss. per there being scarcely any other purchasers in the market.

Sheep were in abundance sales in the morning were with great difficulty effected, but at the latter end of the day there were a great many sold great number of the wethers were bought to eat turnips. Upon the whole we think we may fairly quote a reduction on mutton of from one farthing to a halfpenny per lb. Cows and Calves were in good request, and fetched high prices. Store Bullocks scarce and dear. Corn millers were anxious to purchase wheat, but there was not much enquiry after barley, as the malting season has not commenced.

The oat trade was dull. Wool were a great many manufacturers in attendance, but we did not hear of any advance in prices, although all the factories at the present time are in full work. Cider is likely to be very scarce and dear. Best beef from 50s. to 545.

Market. The supply of grain at this day's market has exceeded the demand. Barley has receded in price, but shippers are not disposed to purchase that article for more than 24s to 25s per quarter.
