RANDOM NOTES. Like the devotees of olden times, who used to make their pilgrimages to the shrine of St. Winifred's, I also made a visit to tho town of Holywell, and witnessed its famous spring. Your renders, no doubt, know some- thing about this celebrate 1 well. The legend is that a well known Welsh prince became a suitor for the hand and heart of St. Winefred niece of St Bucno, who found- ed the monastry of Clvnnog Vawr, in Curvni nons me, and that in Greenfield," near the Eailway Station, the ruins of which arc now visible. St. Wine it' parent lived on an eminence overlooking the chuicn, lmown as Castle Hill. One Sunday morning, as St. WinefrclI I w?s a1Tayin to attend n?rn-ng pravers her paints h?in? ?n? and I.tt her a!o?. in the hous. prince AHen ?de his appearance to c?ct his vweked design which WAS to ak a saint to become las WHO. St. me- fred pleaded that s he was attired m a style not worthy of speaking to an august personage, begs to be excused in order to put Oil more costly apparel. Having left the room for another, the prince became doubtful as to her return, when he entered the room and found she had pone; and on looking through the window saw her on The hill goin" in the direction of the church. He became enraged and'"dashed out after her. Having overcome *l;t. be fuldrcssotl her in tones of inelignatioll (Irew out his sword, and dissevered her head from his bod v. The head rolled down the hill, and rested on the spot where the well now is, and strange b say. that in the valley just beneath, which was characterised as being dry," there flowed a magnificent spirng, throwing up, some say, as many as sixty tons of water every minute. St. Burno, who was in the church, came out. aud pro- nounced a cur.-e upon the unholy prince, for beheading the saint and besmearing the lioi.i! alter with her blood, when the earth opened, and swallowed up the prince. He then laid the body of St. Winefred in his own man- tle, and placed her head npon her body, and after mak- ing prayers she was restmvd to life. She lived for many years afterwards. Site died at Gwytherin, in Denbighshire, and after ill" laspe of years, her bones were removed to Shrewsbury. It is said tint the waters possess healing properties; in proof of which your at- ) tention is directed to hand-barrows, crutches, sticks, -c., which have been left as memorials of cures eftèctell by bathing in the well. There is a red and highly j scented mo.js growing upon t'ej sides of the well, which weare told was caused by the Sit: Mring of the blood of St. Winefred. There are great numbers of strangers from i ii l.: ,-v u f.1.11 .1 various paris oi UIL4 J-wuu UL- mu, HUU have faith in the curative qualities of the water, PClI- nant, ti:e naturalist and historian, denies the moss being produced by St. Winefred's blood but as a plant well known. There is one feature I noticed at Holywell, which is a pleasing nile. It is the erection of villa re- sidences by Mr W. Jones, and called Castle View," which are destined to till a vacuum felt in HoIyweII for many vcar", inasmuch as the want of accommodation for visitors lias been one of its most serious drawbacks. A VISIT TO LORR) CIIURCII. I had often promised myself a visit to this beautiful church, which was erected by the Viscount Ficlding and his lady, by a sum of money set apart by them on their wedding-day as a thank-offering. At that time the Viscount aud his lady were members of the English establishment; but during the erection of the church they became converts to Roman Catholicism. The foundation stone was laid accompanied with all the tom- fo)lery of the English faith according to puseysilish in- terputation and the top stone was raised accompanied with all the gorgeous array of the Rnmisli faith. A dis- pute arose between Dr. Short and Viscount Feilding re- garding the gift of the church to the English establish- ment, and then handed over to the Romish establish- ment. Of the two, the Viscount had the best of it, in the correspondence that ensued. When the bishop j found lie had lost his case, an appeal was made to the public for contribution to build two churches instead of the one that was lost. Its very strange that the spot selected for the lir.t church was considered to be the centre of a benighted locality; but when this church became the property of the liomisli church, instead of tiglitiiijc the Romanist upon hh own ground, lie went to tw. • 0 drome points and buit two churches for the price of OI.C —one at Gorsedd, and the other at Penyffordel. Strange to say that both these places, Welsh Calvinists, had occupied places for public instruction for many years, while there was in one one an independent inter- est and in the other a Welsh Wesleyan interest. This fact appears to show that the Church of England in their readiness to carry their puseitisli motiyes iu con- nection with II church they had lost, and in their aban- doning the locality entirely when it was lost, was very much like fearing more from the English Nonconform- ist dissenter than the Church of Home itself. It is said that a member of the Romish church, once standing on an eminence commanding a view of the two English churches in extreme points, and the Romif-h church 111 the eentrc exclaimed, Behold, Christ between two thieves!" In connection with Viseount Feilding's church, there has been lately established a m-mastery of St. Francis' order. And to see this and the church I and a lady friend took a walk on a fin,) afternoon during my stay ill the immediate neighbourhood. Having arrived on the grounds, and rung a bell, we were courteously re- ceived by a brother of the order, we were shown into an anteroom, and having written our name;, in the visitor's book, we viewed some richly executed paintings, one was the portraits of Si. Francis .standing before the cross of the Saviour, which appears to be a perfect picture of a itiaii 6 agony in witnessing the sufferings and agony of the Redeemer of humanity. The tear upon his cheek is a perfect l'esemblancc of a real tear. The painting, we believe, is a copy of one in the possession of Cardinal Wiseman. In this room are several valuable paintings, illustrative of the most part of the sufferings of Christ. As females are not allowed to visit the room occupied by the brethren of the order, my lady friend was i-e. quested to occupy this room until our return, and you 1 ]' may wed imagine the character of her interrogatives on cur return home as to what I had seen for there is no- 'I thing that will awaken woman's curiosity more than for- bidden sights. There was nothing very much to be seen to please me, excepting a host of paintings said to be executed upwards of three Lenturies ago, one, the trial of the patriarch's faith upon Mount Moriah, in tmee parts Daniel in the lion' den and others of the Crueitixion of Chvi:-t. Of couisj the monastery is not yet completed. Oil my return to the anteroom and having joined my lady friend, we went in the bazaar and having made a few purchases, and dropped a small J contribution into the poor-bos, we sallied forth with our guide to see the church, which is an elegant building, early English in style. With our vi-dt to the church we were well pleased; and no one going within casv leicli should deny tuemsclves the exquisite pleasure of viewing so solemn and magnificent a sight. CHRIST. CHARON.

FEARFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION*…
FEARFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION* .1.1..1.1 '-J _\JJ :1\1 T," ru :-> l111'JJ.lJ; IHURSO.VY MonxtXG. Last night, about eleven o'clock, a most dreadful ex- plosion took place (t Colliery, about eight miles from this town. At the time it occilied the night shift men were in, and in a moment eighteen men and lads were swept into eternity. Leghill is a pit with extensive workings, and that part of the mine were it tired is kn own as the Far California Bank. Tiie hewers were then working at the broke; The explosion took place in the hewers' boards, probably at a naked light, but that is a matter of conjecture. It came tearing down the main rolloy way, but spent itself somewhat at the way ends, and though the noise of it was heard in all the other parts of the pit, none of the miners were hurt, and they escaped to hank in rafety. Of course, as soon as it was known at the bank that the pit had tired, the news tiew about the village liked wildfire, and hundreds of persons tlocked to the bank. Mr Ket'.ering. the head viewer, and Mr. Sanderson, the under viewer, were sent for, and the most desperate exertions were made to reach the men and lads buried in the far workings of California but it was found that the pit was very foul in hy, and that the rolley way was choked up with falls from the roof. Several of the miners who have been employed to get to the men have been brought to the bank suffering from the effects of after-damp, but others immediately descended to take their places in the work of clearing away the ruboish. Down to the time of our despatch coming away from the pit, they had not reach- ed the lost men. Mr. T. B. Forster, the consulting viewer to the coal trade, has arrived and the men be- I longing to Barradon Colliery have been knocked off, and I when they all get to bank a door connecting that pit with Leghill will be oncned. I (BY ELECTRIC < £ INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPH.) I Eleven men aiul lads, have been got out of the pit I alive. The following weie killed; Richardson, Robinson John Nayland, Henry Wnithouse, Thomas Heaps, William Taylor, John Miller, and George Jackson. The I bodies have been all recovered this afternoon.

I CORRESPONDENCE. __I NORTH AND SOUTH. I SLAVERY, AND EMANCIPATION. I FEDERATION AND CONFEDERATION. I To the Editor of the Wre.chom Advertiser. I I,- I 1 -1 1 "IR. t.;anit)rian, in his letter ot last; weeK, com- mences with the assertion of his opinion respecting good breeding, which he soon afterwards in practice contra- dicts, and convicts himself of a want of that essential, according to his own dicta. Compare the opening senten- ces of his letter with paragraph 4, lines five and six also paragraph 5, lines six and seven in his first letter of last week, and with paragraphs 1, line twenty-two; 2, line twelve: and 3, six and seven, of his second letter; after which I will leave it with you to judge of his consistency, and proceed to discuss his arguments, which are as puny as the attempt at witticism with which he begins his second letter. Firstly—If Cambrian" would take the whole tenor of t: Flaneur's" first letter, instead of seizing on a single sentence and isolating it from its context he would find the sense of the question put by that writer to be really this, what is there peculiar in the constitution of the United States to make revolt more criminal than in the case of England shaking off the yoke of the Stuarts, or Italy overthrowing her Bourbon tyrants," and not as Cambrian would make it appear, a question of legal rirrllf Sjcondly—There is no proof that secession was ever officially or generally disputed before the time I state, but there is abundant evidence from the fact of the fre- quent threats made by both North and South States to with lraw from the Union, on various occasions, to show that its legality was almost universally believed in. Sen- sation orators, and magazine writers, no doubt, did raise the question, but little notice was taken of their noise. The Hon. J. de Quincey, of New England, was a firill up- holder of the legality of secession until the present revolt, when, no doubt, from the same cause that effected a change in the opinion of the Neir York Herald—the tar-bucket and feather bag he changed sides. Again, A. Stephens, vice-president of the Confederate States, ad- mitted by the enemies of the South to be one of America's most astute lawyers, has in the most uninistaben man- ner shown his interpretation of the law. The Morning Star would fain make it appear that he acted against his conscience, because at the first assembling of the Southern politicians he doubted whether state rights were en- dangered by Lincoln's election, to the extent the leaders Çn n.1 ititl cu« | Thirdly—What are the Articles of a Convention, but a public iiistrtinieiit ? Not heeding a reply, as Cambrian" desires, I will proceed to the Articles of Confederation. According to these Articles, framed and signed in 1777, e ich of the thirteen states were separate and independent governments. As such they were recognised in the treaty with Great Britain in 17S3. And in 1788 South Carolina and Virginia passed Sbate Ordnances, reserving power to assume independency whenever the power vested in the Federal Parliament might become perverted, and these ordnances were ratified by the Federal Parliament, during the following session. Fourthly—To prove my appalling reckless asser- tion." The Federal House of Representatives consisted of 233 members, apportioned among the States according to their population, deducting two-thirds of the slave I population. The Senate was formed by two sections f on cah State. The Union consisted in 1850 of 34 I States, thirteen of these States (if we include Kentucky and Missouri) seceded in 1860. These thirteen States (Oitained a population, includirig 3,0)0,000 s'aves, of 8,037,000. The remaining twenty-one possessed a popula- ¡' tion of 14,363,000, of which about 300,000 were slaves. Thus, deducting the two-thirds for slave population, the secding States could muster 84 Representatives and 42 Senators, elected by the other States. If these figures do not show an overwhelming majority of the North in the j both Houses, why my assertion of that fact was reckless, Lastly-The political programme of the Republicans is to establish a National Republic, instead of a Federal Union, and to reduce State rights to those of a municipal character. Every Act passed by the present government prove this tendency to ceiitrilization. Cambrian's" second letter as it is not so especially ad- dressed to me, I will only briefly notice. The facts" which he brings forward are chiefly garbled statements— sentences taken from the body of a work in the same way fB ;l Cambrian" garbled Flaneur's" first letter as men- ,Lnenr's" first letter as men- tioned above, and published by the Union and Emancipa- i),1 0 i-ties, Such is the case with words taken from the lotti section of th; constitution. All the section, and the whole of the Acts must be studied collectively, to ar- rive ,tt the truth. The fi;, rive at the truth. The figures quoted respecting the votes of the Northern and Southern members, cannot be worthy of much credit when Cambrian" makes the Southern votes to have been 61 for and 22 against a mea- sure, when the number of their representatives was only eiglity-four. j The word Perpetual" was used in treaties and all ian- ances to imply not limited, as distinguished from treaties, &c., made for a certain number of years only. Perhaps no "lexicographer" would give "unlimited" as a defini- tion of perpetual" although it is a correct one. Lexi- cographers usually explain Ass to be a long-eared quadru- ped, but the word is often used in quite a different sense. I rema n, yours &c., September 7, 18C4. DEIRA. A COMPLAINT OF CHRISTOPHER CRAYON- My dreams are like my thoughts J | Honest and innocent." | Maid of the Mill. I To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. I Ms EDITOR—I find that my last letter commenting on the unfairness of one of your correspondents masking under the none de plume Christopher Crayon, has not had the desired effect, hnt-" I see their knavery. This is to make an ass of me .—to fright me if they could; but I will not stir from the place." I am not in the least envious, but rather feel a pleasure in reading whatever lie may write, and I must say, that one gave (it may be the last, A tour through the Vale of Ciwyd") me an insight into parts of North Wales, that I hope I may some day visit. But still, I trust for the future our talented friend will, if only in the way of kind- ness, make some slight distinction between your humble servant and himself, it would show a fellow feeling to one whom not only reads, but admires every epistle he writes. Asking pardon for the liberty I have thus taken, and beg to remain sincerely yours, Trofonen, near Uswestry. CHRISTOPHER CRAYON. THE SMALL-POX RUPTURE AT RUABON. NO VACANCY FOR A VACCINATOR. it these be motives weak-leave on betimes 1" To the Editor of (he Wrexham Advertiser. Sriz-ln your report of the Wrexham Board of Guard- ians last week, there is one of the most curious worded epistles I ever beheld. The original document should be preserved as a curiosity, inasmuch as it displays the m:n'ch of intellect in the latter half of the 19th century, and plainly shows what can emanate from an assumed gentleman and a scholar, who has not only ventured to sign his name, but has also appended thereto a long string of initials, comprising some fourteen letters of the alpha- bet, that would puzzle any Philadelphia lawyer to render into plain English. This intellectual wiseacre sets him- self off as L.R.C.S.E., M.R.C.S., L.S.A., L.M.and for all I know he may be recognised by the English faculty, and justly entitled to the whole but, as I have a shrewd suspicion that the letter E." in the first lot is intended (quietly) to represent England instead of Edinburgh, it j recalls to my mind what I once heard Sergeant Ludlow the late Recorder of Bristol, say, while pleading in a cause in which lie had been specially retained on the Ox- iforkl Circuit Gentleinen of the jury," the learned Sergeant observed, I, clout say that this gentleman ob- jl tained his degree in this manner, but I know that decrees are obtainable in Scotland by simply plyin g a fee of 7s Gd." The writer of the letter in question urges and requests the Board of Guardians to appoint him a public vaccina- tor for the parish of iiuabon, (wherein there is no vacau- cy), and egotistically asserts, in language that I can i scarcely believe, that he is invested with advantages and privileges which no o ther ■medical man o btain. Speaking a pathetic word or two for the sufferers of the epidemic—he adds a dozen for himself. Shade of Lindley Murray defending us. one might easily excuse his bad grammar, and the jumbling together of his rhapsodical sentences, if there was a particle of common sense to be found. But when a man takes upon himself publicly to condemn the efficiency of his fellow professionals, he should take special care to provide himself with some tangible proof of his own disinteresteine-is and ability; and not have recourse to unworthy dodges, disingenuous statements, and vulgar calumny, which will only excite the disgust and censure of his most familiar friends, and alike betray to an impartial reader, that— "These are the forgeries of jealousy!" Already has X70 been paid to the Ruabon vaccinator5 during the past year, and if this gentleman had had his wish, no doubt the great run would have been between Mr Bur-man and Mr Bur-ton and as the latter gentle- man says, that he is deeply engaged in the I-ear.i trade, which is harder to deal with than a:!y other, he would, as far as tons go, make up a total quite is-t,);t-ishin-, We can, however, better affoid to remain in the hands of Mr William Jones and Mr R. Chambers Roberts. Good £I'(OI: I was almost tempted to exclaim, as I read in the next paragraph that one of our respected guardians had come to the rescue. Crood -'Et-tf;zs! Does he wish the dregs of B.trton to be brought here to infuse .LNew British Mettle into the arms of our info.iit-vy ? Does a clever I'oiser, too, with one-eved justice, come forward to endeavour to balance the scales against (W)right and reason? Surely these men deserve to be pitted-not with the small-pox—but against each other and the pub- lie, as to which is the best judge in the matter;—whether three industrious individuals, who are as it were running a race together, and who, according to the Clerk of the Union's account, vaccinate more children than are bom in the parish—are not sufficient to inoculate j Ruabon twice over, however deep the pits may appear to be on the face thereof. Yours, &c., RuABONiiE. I THE CHAMPION OF TRAP DOORS. I ) To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. I SIR-As an advocate of trap doors, and one who has watched all the discussions on this subject with great in- terest, I was much surprised to find that the champion of trap doors was not present, when an enlargement of certain trap doors was applied for at the last monthly meeting of the Board. I don't see the use of having leaders if they desert their colours in this way at a moment's notice. I hope the fact of it being a grocer who made the application, had nothing to do with the absence of the Champion. Yours truly, AN OLD TRADESl\IAN. I AN OLD TRADESMAN. PRIVATE" INFORMATION AGAINST I PUBLIC" HOUSES. To the Editor of tlt, Wrexham Advertiser. Sir,-Will yoa be kind enough to intorm me by what right private information is laid before the magistrates at a public-house licensing meeting ? Why not bring a direct charge against the offenders, and substantiate the same with proper evidence? We all know that hear-say is no evidence, and such a system of ear-wigging enables any psev.do-moralist to give his fellow-townsman a stab in the dark, and make him the scape-goat for the sins of the whole town. Private information furnished secondhand by a policeman can only be regarded as a whip for his own back. If private individuals are more clever as de- tectives, it only shows that the police are not sufficiently on the alert, and consequently inefficient. Yours truly, FAIR PLAY. ASSISTANT-OVERSEER, MOLD. I To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. J I Sir,—Be good enough to allow me though the columns of your widely circulated journal, to intimate to my numerous friends that I have given up the intention of seeking this appointment, and at the same time tender to each my sincere thanks for the hearty willingness shown I to support me on the occasion. Yours, &c., W. T. THOMAS. THE MITRE OX THE WROXG HEAD. To the Editor of the Wrecham Advertiser. SIR-In your report of the Borough Police Court pro- ceedings on Monday, the 29th ult., appears a list of public houses, which have been complained of by private indi- viduals. In that list my name appears in connection with the Mitre Public House. As that report is calculated to injure my character and business, I beg to inform you and your readers, that I do not keep the Public House in question, but the Mitre Brewery, and the police had no right or business to connect my name with it in any way whatever. Hoping you will publish this, I re- main, yours truly, EDWARD ROWLAND. THE FATAL FIGHT AT RHOSROBIN. To the Editor of the Wrexham Advertiser. Sm—I cannot understand why, in the proceedings taken in connection with the late fatal fight at Rhosrobin, the principal was only singled out for further proceed- iugs," and not the seconds as well. I recollect some two or three years ago a fight in Ruabon parish between two men, Pugh and Richards, which resulted in the death of the latter. Although all the blame of causing that ficyht was proved to be attached to the deceased, the jury did not hesitate to find a verdict of manslaughter, not only j against Pugh, but against four others who acted as seconds or pickers np, the five being committed for trial, and upon trial awarded the same period of punishment. In the present case there is evidence that two men acted as seconds, and yet no notice appears to be taken of them. I say, if Birch is guilty of manslaughter they are equally so, if not more so, for Birch acted under the excited and ) wounded feeling of a challenged man, and could hardly avoid fighting, whereas had the seconds interfered as actively in preventing the fight, as they evidently did to aid it, no fight would have taken place. It is my opinion that whatever action is taken respecting the principal, the same should be taken against the parties who acted as seconds on that occasion. Yours, &c., A LOVER OF JUSTICE. l
BANK RETURNS - - .[
BANK RETURNS [ LONDON, Thursday Evening, X- The Bank directors, contrary to almost general ex- pectation, advanced the rate of discount this morning from 8 per cent, at which it has stood since the 4tli of August, to 9 per cent. The movement has given satis- faction among those who were disappointed at the dilatory I operations of the 8 per cent minimum, in strengthening the general position of the Bank, especially as the Indian exchanges are adverse, and it is fully expected to prove 1 effectual, though not so rar-idly effective as the like rate j was in May last.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A very alarming and somewhat singular accident occurred on the railway at Altrincham I on vV ednesday. It was found necessary at this station to add a few carriages to the special train for the a-ricul- I tural show at Kuutsford. During the progress of shunt- iug, the engine being accidentally detached from a por- tion of the train, the laden carriages, then beyond con- trol, ran with great velocity down the inclined sidingCl and came in collision with a few empty carriages, which again were forcibly driven against the "stop blocks." The consequence was, that many persons were bruised and shaken, and injuries, if not of an alarming at least of a serious nature, were inflicted. 0

THE PREMIER IN NORTH WALES On Tuesdav the 30th ult., Lord Palmerston paid a visit to North Wales. He came via Llanrwst. and travelled through the pictur- esque vale of Dolwyddelw, and after inspecting the WeJsh Slate company's quarry at Festiniog, of which he is the principal proprietor, his lordship proceeded to Tan- ybwlch along the Festiniog Railway, accompanied by some of the directors of the line. Tliis line runs from the slate quarries of Festiniog to Portmadoc, a distance of 13 miles, on a gradual incline, and commands some of the best views in Wales. The guage of this railway is only two feet; it has been greatly improved within the last twelvemonth, and is shortly to be opened for pas- senger traffic. Steam power is now introduced on this line, and works uncommonly well. On ednesday his lordship went up to inspect his new slate quarry near the top of Maelwyn mountain. Lord Palmerston travel- led down the line for the first time in one of the com- pany's new carriages. On Thursday the 1st inst., his i lonlship came down to Portmadoc. After visiting the Welsh Slate Company's wharf his lordship left the town. The shipments of slate from this port in 1853 amounted to 48,000 tons. Since then the trade has increased considerably. Last vear's shipments amounted to 76,000 tons.

The playing of Mr Bannister and Mr Shone on the Leominster side, and that of Messrs Ogden, Atwell, D. Jones and Parry on the Llangollen side was admirable throughout. Our Here- fordshire friends bore away with them many pleasing re- collections of the day and the magnificent scenery around them, combined with the courteous treatment they re- ceived. An excellent dinner was provided at the Royal Hotel by Mr and Mrs Davies, to which ample justice was done by the members of both clubs and a few friends. Another very interesting cricket match was played on the Llangollen cricket grounds on Saturday last, between the Wynnstay and the Llangollen clubs, which ended in the defeat of the Wynnstayites. The playing of Messrs Walker and Allotton the part of the Wynnstay side, and the Rev. D. Jones, Messrs Parry, Ogden, Buckton and Gear was excellent.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.-I
AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. I There was a slight shower in the afternoon of the first day of the week, but a return of most splendid weather on the Monday-sunny, hot, and very fine: wind S.S.W., thermometer 50 deg., barometer, 30'05 in. This continued on Tuesday, the temperature being two degrees higher; and during these two days much pro- gress was made with the northern harvest. On that day our advices from Lincolnshire were en- couraging, stating :—" The weather during the past week has been all that could be desired for harvest oporations, and great progress has been made in this district, three- fourths of the crops being now in stack, in fine condi- tion." From the West Riding of Yorkshire it was stated: On Saturday I had a considerable drive on our corn dis- tricts. All the farmers were very busy carrying both wheat and barley, and there were some very good crops of both articles, the day being very fine. In the evening we had rain, and also on Sunday and Monday, which pre- vented any carrying going on on Tuesday, although it was a very fine one, and should it now continue fine the re- mainder of the week nearly all will be gathered in." On the same day from Suffoik it was remarked But little known cf the yield at present, harvest drawing to con. clusion beneficial showers have fallen at intervals," Wednesday proved a vary wet day, putting a stop to all harvest work wherever this rain was experienced. From Burton-on-Tront our advices stated Farmers are in the midst of harvest work in this locality, and a great deal of corn has been carried during the week. The rains have been very beneficial to the pastures and root crops." From Melton Mowbray it was remarked: Around here the wheat crop is generally secured. The yield will be better than was anticipated. Barley will be a full average crop, and there will be some excellent malting samples." From Mansneld, the same day, it was remarked The rain of Sunday last has had a beneficial effect on the root crops and pastures around here. The harvest is all but concluded, and the grain is secured in flne order." Thurs- day was a favourable day, and the Scotch harvest was progressing well. Oats were of a fine quality and good colour, but in small berry from the great drought. From Suffolk, on that day, it was stated ,with the exception of some rain on Sunday night and Monday, the weather has. during the week, been remarkaly favourable for harvest work. The wheat is nearly all housed, and the greater portion of the barley." From the same county, near the coast, our advices state: Harvest may be called over in this immediate district, but further inland one-fifth of the corn is still abroad. Friday proved showery, and a go d 1: a' of rain fell in the afternoon. Our information from the West Riding of Yorkshire says We had some heavy rain on Wednesday morning, but very droughty' afterwards, and Tuesday was a fine harvest day and carting going on in all directions; this afternoon we had some very heavy rain, which will stop our farmers from finishing their harvest, generally this week, although in my walk last night I found many of them finished, and the barley I saw them carting had all got a yellow tinge since the rain had come." This for the malting process will be all the better, being thereby mel- lowed and more kindly. We must now give some information from more southern counties of the result and finishing to the in- gathering, thus The harvest in Surrey has been com- pleted in the best possible order. Wheat is expected here to be a full average crop of very fine] quality, and reports of the yield of the little that has been threshed are fav- ourable but it is not thought by the growers that the general yield will be equal to last year. Barley is fine in quality, and a very good crop the colour has been brighter than it has been for years, and it will no doubt make ex- cellent malt. Oats are a moderate crop, of good quality. Beans and peas have not looked so well from their first appearance above ground, but some of the latter have pro- duced a iair crop. The roots are improving since the rain." Hampshire: The harvest is mostly finished in this county, but it was later at the commencement than usual, particlarly in South Hants, which is generally early. Wheat is well reported of, both in quantity and quality. Barley is said to be a large crop, and the grain larger than usual, and of good colour. The quality is expected to be excellent for malting. Oats moderate in crop, of good quality. Peas not well spoken off; some fields pretty fair, but nothing like last year. Great complaints of the roots and want of cattle feed." Saturday was a warm and doubtful day, but it held up until six p.m., when the night proved wet, with a threaten- ing, unsettled appearance, and some portion of the northern harvest will still be caught. In August, rain fell on seven days, while 2.1, were dry.—Mark Lane Ex- press.

THE CROPS IN ENGLAND.—Mr Sanderson writes to the Times an elaborate report upon the crops in the United Kingdom, summing up as follows" Taking the crops as a whole, wheat is average, barley fully average, oats one-third deficient, beans under average; potatoes, short roots, in the south, not one quarter of a crop in the north, a full average." Mr San(lers.-)n xd(Is With a light crop of hay, roots a failure, a short yield of straw, and barren pastures, it is a matter for serious apprehen- sion on the part of farmers in the south respecting their short supply of food for a full supply of store and fattening stock. Doubtless the major part of the oat crop will be consumed for that purpose, and cakes of every description will be largely used, but these can only bo profitably used as auxiliaries, not as substitutes, for natural food. It is essential for eveay farmer strictly to economise his food resources, and chop up all hay and straw for cattle food, too frequenly only wasted as cattle litter, for the latter purpose, and burnt clay, spent bark, and indeed every available appliance must be resorted to. The short sup- ply of stock food will seriously influence the prices of butchers* meat and all dairy produce, and probably, before eight months elapse, these commodities will command prices not reached during the present century; bread food, however, being cheap, will tend to lighten a calamity which would otherwise fall heavily on the poor."
- - --- : THE IRON TRADE.I
THE IRON TRADE. I WOLV3BHAJIPTON WEDNESDAY.—A less satisfactory feeling pervaded the market to-day than in the past fort- night. The altered tone is due mainly to the progress of the miner's strike. Great inconveniences and much loss is resulting from tiie strike in many makers of finished iron, who have obtained their supplies from foreign sources at great additional costs upon the prices paid for the coal of the district, and some cannot get what they want at even these prices. Next, the men out are extending their perambulations in vait numbers, and are unsettling the ??? work in the Wolverhampton district proper. WOL vERHAICPTON, EDXESDAY.—The makers of the best ig iron of this district are now asking 5s a ton more for tl,I ,eIr commodity than thov were a week ago. This alteration is due to the extendi v- of the colliers' strike, and the c°!1sequent diminished .ber of pigs, with, at ??s?? m. time ? ??s!y mcrca "d cost of mannfacture.

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.
REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE. A return to hot weather at the commencement of the past week, after some cold and frost experienced in that- previous, was favourable to the late gathering, but not t-3 the pastures or esculents and though the weather no* seems broken, much more ruin will he wanted for tlio^ cessful tillage of the soil. In Scotland and Ireland con- siderable progress has been made, and some fine sample of oats have been produced from the latter country- though in some localities there has been a deficiency o weight, and have been much lessened in <jii;iiitity, til. bulk this year being small, though gcneralJ,r }!f!at,j¡j: Prices yet rule high, compared with wheat, and are like V o tl utI- to do so, unless heavy shipments come from the Mtit'- nent.
