With a continuance of extraordinary tine weather, harvest operations have been steadily proceeded with and in many of the southern counties a good deal of the Wheat and aproporiion of the Spring Corn, have been canicd in exccllcut condition. In the northern paris of the kingdom reaping has not as yet made much progress, but even in the most backward dis- tricts the crops are fast approaching maturity, and the scason is at least three weeks earlier than in or- dinary years. The thrashing of Wheat has not hi- thertu been proceeded with on a sufficicntly extcnsic scale to admit of a very accurate estimate being form- ed rcspeeting the yield to the acre, but where the produce has been put to the lest, the quantity has not proved so great as calculated on. This wo arc not surprised at, as exaggerated estimates are usually as general in favourable seasons as gloomy forebod- ings are in those of an opposite character. For our own part, we arc inclined to think that the crop of Wheat will prove a fair average, both in quantity and quality, but no more. Should we be correct in this conclusion, prices ought not, we think, to go much lower. At some of the markets in the agricultural districts, good red Wheat may now be bought at .s. per qr., a rate which cannot pay the grower; and as there is, consequently, little inducement to sell, those farmers whose pecuniary means will admit of such a proceeding, are likely to hold back for better terms. As yet, however,L no check has been given to the downward movement, and a further fall of 2s. to :3s. per. qr, has taken place atuiost of the leaùing markets hold since our last.

SIR,-I consider it aduty to the public to inform you that a most able and successful practitioner (Dr. Rendall) has come to this town, and whose operations in removing corns from the feet are truly remarkable. I mlselfhave had about twcnty removed from my feet, through his instrumen- tality, without the least pain and can truly re- commend Dr. Rendall as a most able man in his business, and deserving all patronage, A. WILKINSON. 10, Berkeley-strel t, Toxteth Park. Feb. 2G, 1S46. Should any of the Nobility or Gentry question the efficacy of Mr. Kendall's practice, he will readily come forward and extract a torn gratui- tously, in order to convince them that such a dis- covery was never before practised.

The above parties have witnessed the removal of their own corns, which is done by a chemical process, causing the corn instantaneously to rise from the foot. Mr. It. can produce above two thousand Certi- ficates from the principal Nobility; and Testi- monials from Professors and Doctors of Medicinal Schools and Colleges and in addition to others his book contains Certificates from some of the Royal Family, which have been kindly furnished him for the inspection and satisfaction of those who may require his services. Many Testimonials have been presented to Ir. R. several years after the operation, a proof of the corns not returning. It more than one person of the same family are operated on at the same time, Mr. It. wil?, redeuce the price.

THUNDER STORMS, RAIN, AND…
THUNDER STORMS, RAIN, AND FLOODS. So trying a ;aSOi1 or one norc rctn:\rk- fnr weather vicissitudes tlian the pre- ent, few can remember. With thunder and !i^htning the public mind has become fa- miliar, so constant and continuous arc these phenomena and there are losses of life and pioperty, whether by direct and instantane- ous act iOIl (If the electric matter, or the scarcely less overwhelming; agency of the torrents of rain, in fluid and frozen state, to perpetuate the memory of Aiitiimii I -S I(; It would appear from the saddening cata- lo!.(ne of casualties, compile d from the news- paper list, that the visitation has been more of general than of local or partial nat ure, shewing that the united kingdom has been subjected to the Water unleal or trial by water of the olden time. Wales certainly can not claim exemption, having sustained more than a fair shate of loss and damage. As lying more immediately within our pro- vince, we givc such particulars as may be given with accuracy—disregarding the thou. sand and one reports of moving iiicidetit3 in flood and lldd" — COlt WEX. This picturesque and tranquil little town and neighbourhood were on Monday, the 3rd uf August, the place of a sudden and fearful calami- ty, Mich as human foresight ur piesence of mind could neither be prepared for nor meet. A re- markably fine day up to half-past 4 o'clock, was anything but illdieatiye of a storm brewing over- head and whid, suddenly n that hour burst with illdlcrihable fury Oil the devoted locality, and continued to rage with unabated force until 3 o'clock the following morning. What pen shal 1 describe the honors of that awful night r The stunning thunder--appalling lightning, and torrents of down-pouring rain In less than half an hour the flood rushed from the hills, de- ploying everything in its course, and turning mo;,t pai t of the town into a Bcelle of ruin and lltulatioJJt depnsitill(2; immense heaps of gravel, intermixed with stones of considerable magni- tude, ill the main street, the removal of which will be a work of time and great labour. Some houses are buried in rubbish, and three cottages were actually swept away There was no time for preparation, and barely suflicieut to escape wit], life so that in many ca?es. not a vestige of Iumitule or clothing was saved one of the grey-haired fathers of the hamlet, ^0 years old, had to be dragged through a window out of Ids cottage home, just as the house fell in. 'ihe icarage-house, yards, and outbuildings are choked with lubl.ish-the garden aud plea- sure grounds destroyed not even One w. \I( the It-ft on it13 stalk, To point out u htrc a garden had been." The loss of property is m present not to be cal- culated. The greatest sufferers are Messrs. Lewis ml,1 Edwnrds, drapers (but for whosc strongly I built premises, acting as a breakwater, and thusj (! i(ling the stream, half the town must have been inevitably swept away), Mr. Thomas Jones, druggist, Mr. John Prichnrd, lfarp Inn, Mr. D. lhirry, Nag's Ilead, Mr. Thos. Williams, Queen's Head, Mr. Humphrey Jones, saddler, Mr. Itobt. Williams, tinman, and Mr, liichnrd Lewis, cur- rier-all we regret to say to a very great extent, bo-ides many others in a less degree. It is really quite impossible to depict the frightful devasta- tion committed. Providentially the Owen (Hyn- dwr Inn and some adjacent houses escaped with little or no damage. Tuesday morning, all communicntiol1 between the town and country was completely cut off; the coaches wew stopptd, nwl the mails forwarded in Cllrs, until Wednesday morning, when, thanks to the activity of Mr, Hugh Koberts, the (ioverii- vernment Surveyor, the Holyhead road was ren- dceù I'lIssah\" once more. In closing this tiuly painful account, we beg to assure our friends and neighbours at Corwen of our commiserating sympathy, trusting that time, indulgence, and renewed industry will enable the town to withstand and recover from the cifects of this all but annihilating shock.

A. letter from this thriving town mentions the destruction ,f several huu'e with sunJry other losses of property, 1-c in the neighbourhood. ?- 1.6b,z3 uf u l )ert ) ?, A.N0TUBU ACCOUNT. We were visited by heavy thunder, lightning, and rin. on the U'Jth ult., which continued until Monday evening. The morning's post brought us the melancholy tidings of its destructive pow- crs at "Ianon, Maudew, and Abcrayron, situated \I, miles south of Abevystwith. It appears that a water-spout broke amongst the mountains, the streams of whieh empty themselves into the sea at the aùovc-lllcntionc<! places. The water came down in torrents, tearing up everything that came in its progress the corn and hay on the fields! were swept off intu the rivulets, antl they beeom- ing full, it carried away II bridges, 18 houses, 1 chapel and schoolhouse. Near Idanon, a fine modelled schooner, all ready for launching of about 120 tons burden, was carried off the blocks and left on the opposite side of the river. On bunday, Idanon and IdansaiutfFraid were again visited by a flood, which broke down the tempo- rary bridges that were erected, undcnnined the churchyarù wall and threw it down, tore oil,. the graves, carrying the coffins along with it into the sea (5 of whieh were afterwards recovered), destroyed 5 houses and 1 chapel; pieces of fur- niture were seen floating in all directions pcople who were in their dwellings were immersù up to their necks in water oil the whole, such a scene 01 dCV¡htatiun was never befurc sœn in this part of Wales. CARDIGANSHIRE. There is much reason to fear that the storm has proved very disastrous Oil the Cardiganshire coast and inland. Captain Davieg.of the IM'za £$ Mary, 01 New (juay, now loading hew, reportB having on Saturday morning the 1st inst. between Mit- funl nI1d liardsey, in company with many other vessels, fallen in with what at tirst and ditant sight, they took for illnurnerable pieces uffloating wreck picked up a table, the drawer of which was luckcd, and opcnin it, found books of ac- counts belonbing to Bethel Calvinistic Chapel, Llan Ddewi-aber-arth, Cardiganshire, 17 bibles, U testaments, and some papers. Also a small feather bed, six or eight bed-posts, and other ar- ticles of furniture, and a pedlar's box, containing miscellaneous books. Another vessclin company- picked up the body ofa cart, which though heavy, was not of sufficient weight to stem thc torrent, Our informant adds that the surface of the sea was covered with buoyant articles of various kinds, principally household furniture, implements of agriculture, rouf of houses, kc., sufficient to freight the fleet of vessels, a sight, from the re- flections to which it gave rise, which made the hearts of the hardy sealllell shudder. LLANGAR. A most tremendous and awful storm visited this place on Monday, the od in.st. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon the rain commenced, and came down in torients, and, in about an hour afterwards, followed one of the most awful storms that ever took place in this neighbourhood. The Llangar N int, or dingle, was one frightful torrent of foaming water, carrying away every thing in its collide. A pour woman, who ventured uut ill her] anxiety to save herself and children (her cottage being surrounded Ly the raging torrent), was swept away, and, although every exertion was made to save her, tibe waH never seCl1 again alive. The body wan found the fullowin; evening near the Dee, and brought into the Church to await ihe inquest. She has left a husband and o small children to lament her untimely and melancholy end. The mountain between the rectory and the dingle is onc flightflil chasm, having Levu utterly destroyed and had it not been that the stables and other out-buildings turned the course of the torrent, the rectory must have been completely guiri. d, if not swept away. The Idangar Uridge, *hieh crossed this rtream on the Chester and Ihumouth mail road, fell in, and was carried away, and not a "Œtige left. Of cours" thcre can be no travelling on this road f?r s i,? A?? inquest was held on the body of the unfortunate woman, by Uice H. Anwvl, KMJ., who attended lor I. Williams, E;1" ol Ü,da, the county coroner. \eidict, "Accidentally )hu'w!?d." The body llIk close hv lhe Ucctoi>, and c\eiv exertion ,\0.1- 1I:.dL by Mr. Kdw.uJ Juno, Ht Tynyheith, :l" I\),(' !Jd., l'd, L" tl.C!I TALSARN. Onu of the most destructive floods that Itts ever oecuiml in the Principality, took place on ThllrJay H{;'J1night at Tal"lrJlt Cardiganshire. For two or three days previously, heavy thunder clouds had burdened the luiid atmosphere. At about twelve o'clock, the long pent-up mountain torrents broke their bounds. The Tivy b'lrst its bank, and flooded the highway leading from Lampeter to Aberystwyth for many miles, doing immense damage. But the heaviest visitation took place ntTulsarn. The river here, which had previously been comparatively tranquil, rose like a vast wall, and, dashing onward in its headlong course, swept IIway no less than twenty-five houses in the village, with all their contents. But the most awful part of the tale remains to be told. Dr. Rogers, of Abermeirig, a county ma- gistrate, was proceeding along the highway lead- ing from Talsam to Aberystwyth, accompanied by his ervant, both being on horseback. Sud- denly the vast flood Rwept across the road, and in an instant both men and quadrupeds were snatched from existence, the sudden deluge para- lysing all efforts at escape, suffocating and de- stroying its victims. The inhabitants of Talsam, already horror-stricken at the calamity that had befallen themselves, found their sympathies aroused anew when the dead bodies of Dr. Rogers and his unfortunate servant were whirled through their village by the infuriated stream. The life- less carcasses of their horses following their riders' remains completed the dismal realities of this awful scene. After the violence of the storm had in some measure abated, the devastation that was perceivable was truly lamentable. Numbers of families had been rendernl houseless, and, in con- sequence of the loss of their furniture, utterly ruined. Within the memory of man no such flood has ever occurred in the Vale of Ayron. The loss at Talsarn is estimated at about £ 1,000, which for the most part is irremediable, since the inha- bitants are principally of the poorer class. The corpse of Dr. Rogers's servant has not been reco- vered, nor have the bodies of the horses been found. In addition to the damage done at Tal- sarn, there are no less than four bridges between Abcrayron and Abcrystwith that have been ut- terly demolished by the flood. One of them was a strong new bridge, having only been erected about three years. It is neetlless to add, that the crops in the fertile Vale of Ayron have suffered severely, the amount of injury snstainetl being incalculable: while the sides of the stream are strewn with the carcasses of sheep, horses, and cattle. Scarcely a farmer, for miles round, has escaped this dre3dful catastrophe, which has caused so much and such disastrous conscqucnces. LONDON. On Saturday the metropolis and its suburbs for miles round were visited by one of the severest storms of thunder, lightning, and hail, accom- panied by a heavy rain, that has been experienced lor several years. For three or four days pre- viously the heat had been most intense, neeom- panie,1 by a strong wind from the east, anti a cloudless sky. On Friday afternoon, however, some clouds began to gather from the S.S.E., and its the evening advanced repeated Hashes of vivitl lightning broke forth. On Saturday, about two o'clock, the rain was particularly heavy, and ac- companied at intervals by hailstones of very large size and irregular hape; many of them picked up weighing from an ounce to an ounce and a half. The storm was at its greatest fury between four and five o'clock, aYHllasted from twenty mi- nutes past three o'clock until hall-past six. Amongst the public buildings which have suffered most severely from the fraeture of skylights "nd domes by the ktilstones are Buckingham Palace, Somerset House, Burlington Arcade, the Bazaar, (Baker-street,) and the l'addington terminus of the Great Western Railway. The Horticultural GardellS, Chis wick the Botanic Gardens, Kew and those in the Regent's ParJ" have also suffered severely. The skylights in the Royal Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace, and the immense dome which lights the grand staircase, were ut- terly destroyed. The Picture Gallery, in which ure some of the most splendid productions of the old masters, was at one time in imminent danger, for when the large hailstones, or rather irregular- ly-shaped pieces of ice, had removed all opposi- tion to the ingress of the rain, the gallery was flooded to the depth of many inches, and the water assumed all the appearance of a natural current. The damage to the Royal palace is es- timated at ?2UOO. At the Houses of Parliament zificl upwir(l?i of 7000 panes at glass were demolished, and "t Messrs. Cubitt's factory, Millbank, from 12,000 to 14,000 squares of glass were broken. At llainpstead, llighgate, llollowny, &c., the roads were completely torn up vVith the torrent and rendered impassable. Not only was the wood pavement" blown up," but the heavy kerbstones were actaully torn from their places by the force of the water. A lad, who was walking alongthe gun-whale of a barge, with a quantity of steel bars on his shoulders, when the elcctrie fluid first struck the warehouse opposite and then the lad, who was forced into the hold 01 theb arg e, while the steel bars fell into the dock. Immediate assistance was rendered, but the lad was quite dead.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, Ave. 6. The following is on extract from !\Iessrs. Sturge's Circular, just issued At Gloucester market on the 1st, English wheat was Vs to 3s. and Foreign Is. to L's per qr, lower. At Worcester, same day, the currency of the previous week was nearly maintained. Very lew transactions repotted iu barley. Oats realised about former prices.

Barley unaltered, with very little doing. tine oats inquiied for, but all uther descrip- tions diflicult to quote. licuus and peas realised former rates." The following is extracted from Messrs. Sturge's Monthly Circular, issued yesterday — 41 During the past month the weather, upon the whole, has been favourable for ripening the grain and the wheat harvest commenced in the earlier dis- tricts about a fLJrtlJight since, under the most propiti- OilS ciicuinstancts. Up to the Jlst there was little interruption to the opeiaiiuns of the sickle, ftlldsuIllC quantity of whcat. was seemed in excellent condition. Several satuples uf new wheat uf very 1111e quality have nppcared at market: but the funllel's complain that the yield per ncrc is less than th. y expected. 011 the 1st inst., and succeeding days, a eOll5idcfaule qualltity of rain fell, wieh has interrupted the pro- gress of the harvest, and wil11JWUauly pre veil, much of the wheat from being carried in :;ueh good order as would otherwise ha\c been the case. At present, however, it has J10l produced any reaction iu the m4r kel¡o)..tUH.l our prices have fallen during the past four weeks not le&s th, Us to loa per qr., chiefly oiv- ing to the great pressure of foreign wheat and flour in the leauiHg purts uf the kingdom, anù the determina- tiou evinced by some huge holders to get out ofstock by forcing Raks, with the prospect or an early and abundant hitf\c&t. Our prebcllt luinlmml1 price of wheat is lower than it ha becii since lïUU, except ill the years lU) anù It)){;. I here are, however, 8C\CJal circumstances that may be instrumental in counter- acting the present undue depression. A continuance uf ullfavuntaule weather, tbe deficiency ill the wheat mid rye crops ill several pars uf Kuiope, and tbe disease in the potato crop, the effects of which are expected tu prove even more disastious thc plSCllt season than last year, having appeared carlier alid caused great anxiety not oidy in Iceland, but III Lng- land anu =--cutlulH.i. a:) well as on the Continent. '1 tIC price of wheat in some pans of France ha already riften from ¡jUs to lJs per qtnn tl r. One or two cargoes have been exported from hngland to Italy, and with- out a decided change in our markets others may be expteted to follow to France, Holland, Belgium, &e. Our dcliveiies have amounted to about 2 1,ilt,0 quar- ters, or one-third of the quantity liberated, but against this near 18,0(10 quarters have airivcd, consequently our stock is not much reduccd. The crup of barley, thoug-Illcss than an average, is likely to prove better than WaH at oue time expecteù but as it is generally behind the wheat crop ill ripeu, tng instead of before, as is usually the case with us, the greater pari of it, even with favourable weather, willlJot be secured for some wecks to come.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD COMPANY.…
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD COMPANY. The half-yearly meeting ofthe proprietors of the above company was held on Monday, at the oflices in Moorgate-street. ill r, It. Collett, M.P., in the chair. The minutes of the previous hall-yearly meeting having been read, the following report was, after a few perfatory remarks from the chair- man, laid before the meeting:- The directors have the satisfaction to report that the whole of the works of the line have been proceeding most satisfactorily during the last six months, and warral1.the expectation of their be- ing completed in the time respectively stipulated for each contract. To give the proprietors the means of forming a judgment of the progress which had been made, it may be mentioned that, of1,-121,870 cubic yards of earthwork to be moved in the formation of the line, 2,fi27,lSX cubic yards, or nearly three-fifths, have been executed, and the masonry, tunnels, &c. havo pruceded in a corresponding ratio. "The number of workmen now employed is 12,382. The experiments upon the tubular bridge to becrected across the Menai Straits and the river Conway, which were in course of prosecution when the last half-yearly meeting of the proprie- tors was held, have been further pursued to the entire satisfaction of the company's engineer, and have coniirmed most completely in his mind the belief which he previously entertained that the plan is one that combines, better than any other yet attempted or proposed, the elements of sim- plieilyand rapidity of construction, with economy, toliility, and durability. His report thereon is printed for your information, and will, your di- rectors consider, be reail with much interest. Your directors have entered into an engage- ment with Mr. Fairbaim, of Manchester, the eminent iron ship-builder and engineer (who had been associated with Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Hodgkinson in the experiments,) to superintend, in conjunction with Mr. Stephenson, the construc- tion nnd erection of the tubes. The materials for the tubes have been contracted for. The first two miles of the line out of Chester, which form the connecting link between the rail- ways which now enter Chester, and the North Wales Mineral Itailway to Wrexham and Kuabon, will be completed in October next simultaneously with the latter line. Your directors, desirous of effecting as soon as possible the facilities of un- broken communication, and early realising sonic amount of revenue, have agreed to afford to the North Wales Mineral and Chester and Birken- head Railway Companies the' use of that portion of the line for six months from the time of com- pletion, on payment by them of £ 2000., to be increased to £2ávU, if the combined trallic of the two companies amounts during the period to L31,200, Your directors anticipate opening the rail- way as far as Conway in the autumn of next ycar, when the mails for Ireland will be conveyed by that route. The amount proposed to be expended by her Majesty's government during the present year on the works of the K ew Packet and Reluge Harbour at Holyhead is £ 150,000.. of which this company is to provide £ 37,-0000. Mr. llendcl, the govern- ment engineer, has reported, that I all the plans, specifications, c., for deepening the old harbour are prepared, and the works will be forthwith ad- vertised for contract.' I For the new harbour, the resident engineer is now engaged in the necessay detailed examinations and surveys, upon the com- pletiun of which the final designs will be settled by me, preparatory to the requirement of the land and making contracts for the works.' Your di- rectors are, in consequence, anxiously devoting their attention to the very important object of rendering the communication between Holyhead and Kingstown as efficient and complete as pos- sible. Powers to extend the railway to the new harbour will be applied for by your directors next session. The necessary surveys are liicady completed. Your directors have to report that the Shrop- shire Union Railway and Canal Company, in which this company have an interest, have ob- tained legislative sanction to three of their lines, the Chester and Wolverhampton, the Shrewsbury and Stafford, and the Newtown and Crewe. Of the several projected competing lines to the railway to which the excitement of last summer gave rise, only one passed through the first par- liamentary stages and that one, on coining be- fore the committee, was withdrawn, without any attempt to enter upon its merits. 1 ill Your directors gave notice, in their last half- yeariy report in February, that before the holding of the present meeting they would be in a condi- tion to relieve the shareholders from present pay- ment of calls, by exercising the powors ill the act to raise the necessary funds on loan. Your formal sanction iH now requested to the issue of deben- tures, to the extent that may be relluirad. Looking at the future periodical expenditure of the company, your directors can state, from the funds at their disposal, in consequence of the ten- ders received for loans, and the promptitude with w hich the calls have been met, that no further call will be made during lie present year. Any shareholder desirous of paying up his cal s in advance, either wholly, or in part, may do so, being allowed on such advance the same rate of interest as is now being paid for loans, viz. 41 per cent., which rate ofintcrest will apply from the 21st of July last, to all calla already received in anticipation. "Since the last half-yearly meeting of the share- holders, a vacancy has occurred in the direction, by the resignation of Jr. Ferrers, which has been supplied by the election of Mr. Lambert." The repun, witlia detailed statementofaccounts was, upon the motion of the chairman, seconded by Mr. ülyn, unanimously adopted, and ordered to be printed for circulation. lIlr. tephenson's report was also laid before the meeting, and adopted. It was next unanimously resolved that the di- rectors be authorised to borrow 1:700,000. pur- suant to the powers of their act. Captain Finlavson drew the attention of the board to the expediency of providing for the pro- per s:e'1l11 accommodation of passengers and lIler- chandise between Holyhead and Dublin, simul- taneously with the completion of the Chester and Holyhead line. The Chairman said the subject had already been carclully considered by the board. They would be obliged to go to parliament next session for powers to exteud their lIulyJwad terminus, awl on that occasion they would ue ready to take such measures Oll thesul,j,et us the sharehulJcl should be thelllôclves inclined tu support. -V vote of thallb was the1l ;;iven L tlw dllil IU.J tlu IH,till; broke ur.
