Sparker , Rose Tavern , H < gh-street , Gravoend . Witness accordingly wrote to that address respecting the pri-oner , and received by return of post so flattering an eulogium of him that his suspicions were somewhat shaken as to its genuineness ; but , being much in

      need of a servant , he engaged him , and he continued steadily to perform his duties until last Tuesday , when he suddenly absconded , leaving his wardrobe , a very scanty one , behind . It was not long afterwirds before witness missed his watch and chain , and on a further investigation be discovered that he had been plundered of a club cashbox . Witness had since been to Gravesend , and ascertained that the landlord of the Rose took in a letter , directed as mentioned , and delivered it to the prisoner , who claimed it as " Thomas Sparker . "—Sergeant Harvey , 14 G , who had apprehended the prisoner , .-aid he had not traced tbe prosecutor ' s property , but believed he should do so . He had , however , taken from his person an expensive watch and a gold chain , and had reason to believe that tho e articles bad b en stolen in Canterbury , where the prisoner had been in a -ituation . Tta accused is a thief well known in

      Rent , and bis fatbir is at present in Maidstone Gaol under sentence of transportati > n for receiving tbe plunder of his son . —Mr . Corrie remanded the prisoner , who made no defence .

      A "LADY" OX THE "SPREE .

Witness called out , " Hallo , that w . n * t do 1 " to which tbe " lady" replied , " It is all right B ihby , " on which she smacked the animal with the whip , and it went on . Witness stopped the horse , and

      asked the . male prisoner for his badge . He said be bad left it at home ; tbeir companions made their escape . The female prisoner was put inside the cab , and while he ( Fisher ) was leading the horse , &* . ., to the > t ition-house , she made her escape with the other prisoner , and he took the horse and cab to the green-yard . In the course of the morning he fouud both prisoners in a cabriolet together in tho neighbourhood of" B ^ snigse-vrells road . He took them to the station-house , where the woman said she was a respectable married woman , and tbe lan-llord of the Old Bell Inn , Holborn , was her brother . —Mr Corrie asked her what she had to say for herself . She said she was a married woman . She hired the oihrioiet in 11 lborn to drive her t >

      tbe neighbourhood of Eing ' s-eross . She dened having had charge of th- r * ns , or smoking a cigar . —Fisher , how " ever , adhered to hh original j-tat' -metit as b-inw true . — The male prisoner male a simlar defence . —Mi \ Corrie , after a patient intest gttion , said it was very strange conduct . Under all tir-um-tances he should discharge the "lady . " He reprm- del the raWe prsoner , and fined him 5 s . Subsequ *> tly , however , he remitted the fine , intimating that he wool or ter his license to ba endorsed ] and cautioning him to be * are of his future conduct . —Mrs . Sroailb me then left the court with her brother , an object of attraction and curiosity , and the male prisoner repaired veitb a host of hia fraternity to a neighbouring public-bouse , a 1 delighted at ib --= pree . "

Gdiibhall . —ivnliam L * rm- was brought npineastodv chirged with having cut his throat . —Ic appeared that the prisoner , who is a shoemaker , living in Reynolds-court , while in a state of intoxication on the 7 h of July , cut his throat with a razor , inflicting so dangerous a wound that he was unable at first to be removed . He had since been in St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital , an J was discharged that morning . The prisoner pres-nted a most wretched appearance , being only able to breathe through a tube and an aperture in bis throat- ; he is entirely unable to speak , and tt-ere is every probability that he will remain in the same condition for life . His father stated that he knew of no cause for his committing such an acr , as he had always been a steady , bard-working man . —The prisoner was discharged on hes father ' s uudert : iki-g to take care of him . " THE MORE THE MERRIER . "

      Bow-street . —Dennis Dady , Cain Maftony , and other occupants of the fi'thy tenements in Church-lane , St .

      GREAT FIRE IN LLEKKtSMVbLL-LMMENSE PESIKUCTION OF PROPERTY . One of the most . xtensive conflag rations that has occurred ftr a considerable time past in the neighbourhood of Cl- » ktnwell , broke out on Thursday morning in the spacious acory belonging to Messrs . K-noih and Co , Engli h , French , and G-man leather , and steel goods dealers , situate ft -No . / , Allen-street , Goswell-s . reet . The building in which the disaster originated was oi great width , and extended backwards as far as the end of Messrs . Walker ' s steam taw mills . The whole covered an area of several acres . By a little after one o ' cio .-k , something like £ ti hour after the discovery was first made , the complete mas tery was obtained over this 'earful conflagration , but a considerable hooy o fire rt a ained in the ruins at ihat tmie , which was not extinguished lur some hours .

      {.The Following Appeared In Our Second E...

      { . The following appeared in our Second Edition of ast week : —] FOREIGN .

      POLAND . Accounts from the town of Kaliech , in Russian Poland , represent tho ravages of the cholera as fearful . Added to this there had been a calamitous fire on the night of tho 18 th and 19 th inst ., which laid one part of the town in ashes . It was supposed from the accounts given in the « Silesian Zeitung , ' from Bresl au , that this calamity had been tho act of an incendiary . The Jewish Synagogue , which had stood for upwards of five hundred years , had been destroyed . Some hundreds of Jewish families , and a great many Christians had been burnt out . According to some accounts mentioned in the Silecian P apers , as many as ono hundred and thirty houses had been destroyed by fire . MORE AUSTRIAN ARRESTS IN ITALY .

      It appears that the Austrian government are acting on the princi ple of the old Roman legend—cutting off the Pappy heads in the field ; trying to keep insurrection down hy simultaneously arresting and carrying off to prison every P-ttriot . of anj consequence against whom tho police could find or invent a ground of suspicion . Arrests so numerous and successive are significant of no ordinary amount of "oppressed patriotic enthusiasm among the Italian populat'ons , and of consciousness of tho Austrians that their tenure of power is at the mercy of a volcano which may burst to-morrow .

      In addition to tho names of persons of note already mentioned in our columns as having been arrested , we have since received the following : —At Mantau , the Archpriest of Oarbosso ; at Milan , Antongino , Simonetta , Carta , Nani , MangiH , Grjffini ; at Verona , Montanari and Murari ; at Modena / Montanari , an ex-captain ; atMassa , Monari . At P-rrar . i , the Austrian strong hold in the Roman States , there have also been arrests , including Count Mosti , Dr . Passega , an officer in the Pontificial service , and two Antrim officers . A special commission has , however , been appointed to trv those arrested in Lombarby ; at the he id of which commission is General Benedeck , of Galician memory .

      The following piece of intelligence will also show the animus of the Austrian government in Italy , their determination to overlook nothing , and to put the black stamp of official notice upon every act of whatever kind , which can he construed to have a particle of patriotic meaning in it . The Chevalier Nava , a warm partisan of Austria , and connected with the Jesuits , is President of the Academy of the Fine Ar : s at Milan . Assisted by a small number of persons of his own way of thinking , he has caused Count Strassoldo and Marshal Radetzky to be nominated the honorary members of the said Academy . At the same time there were nominated to the same honour , M . Vela , a distinguished sculptor , and M . Rossi , a painter . The two artists , on some pretext or other , declined the honour of tutting in the company of men playing such a part in the oppression of Italy . The Austrian government , however , has shown its sense of the truo motive of the refusal , and has conveyed to the sculptor Vela a peremptory order to leave Milan in three hours , under pretext that ho is not a Lombard . Vela was born in Italian Switzerland .

      BELGIUM . —The " Emancipation Beige" states that Victor Hugo has received from the Burgomaster of Brussels an order to quit Belgium , on account of tho publication of his Napoleon le Petit . " If this be true , that the Belgian government has determined to expel the eminent French patriot and poet for a book not yet published , it will be another instance of the baseness of that government .

      Fires And Loss Of Life. Yesterday Mornin...

      FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE . Yesterday morning , about a quarter past four o ' clock , a fire , which was nearly attended with fatal consequences , broke out in the premises of M . E . F . Prache , No . 20 , Sherrard-street , Golden-square . A female living in the house , being subject to asthma , had been recommended by her medical attendant to smoke tobacco occasionally . Yesterday morning she took a li ghted pipe into bed , and whilst smoking it she fell asleep , when the burning tobacco fell upon the bedding , aud set it on fire . The woman fortunatel y succeeded in escaping . Tbe engines of the parish and Loudon Brigade attended with all promptitude , and the fire was extinguished , but not until considerable damage had been done . The owner of the property was uninsured .

      Yesterday morning , about one o ' clock , information reached the brigade stations , that a fir © had broken out about five hours previously , and was then burning , in the soap -works of Mr . Thomas Mitchell , No . 1 , Coleman-street , "Wapping-wall . The engines and firemen were immediatel y dispatched to the spot , when it was ascertained that the heat f rom one of the furnaces had set fire to some of the heavy bond timbers behind the coppers on the first floor . The firemen instantly set to work , and by cutting the brickwork away , they were enabled to extinguish the fire , and thereb y prevent a fearful conflagration . About two hours after the above , a fire of a very distressing character occurred on the premises of Mr . Thomas Searle , a stone merchant , situate at No . 71 , Wapping-wall- A young woman who was suffering from illness had been recommended to be rubbed over

      with an embrocation consisting of various ingredients , one of which was spirit of turpentine . To mix tbe various articles together , it was necessary to boil the whole , which was being done by Miss Lavick , a young woman aged thirty , when the mixture boiled over , when au immense sheet of flame shot forth from the grate , and rolling over the floor , fired in succession sundry articles of furniture , and before the unfortunate creature could leave the room she became encircled in fire . Tho poor female having given two or three frantic screams , she rushed out of the kichen with the flames mounting over her head . Several persons living in the house ran to the assistance of Miss Lavick , but notwithstanding that they exerted themselves to the utmost , they were unable to get the

      fire extinguished until nearl y every particle of wearing apparel was consumed on her person , and her bod y so seriousl y burned that the flesh peeled off when touched . A medical gentleman was promptly in attendance and did everything that humanity or surgical skill could devise , but the unfortunate creature lingered onl y a few hours , when death terminated her sufferings . A . few minutes before the melancholy event happened , the deceased had a very narrowescape , for the spirit boiled over in an adjoining room , and she thinking tho fire was too fierce , adjourned to the next room , but unfortunately the fire proved more disastrous in the last named place than in the former . Mr . Searle was insured in the Sun Fire Office .

      Two other fires occurred about the same time : one at 120 , Hi gh-street , Whitechapel , in the occupancy of Air . Burman , hatter ; and the other at No . 6 , Lincoln-court , Drnry-lane , belonging to Mr . J . Shepperd . Fortunatel y , owing to the timely arrival of assistance , the damage done at each was comparatively inconsiderable .

      Alleged Adduction An Incident Of Unusual...

      Alleged Adduction An incident of unusual , not to say romantic and extraordinary , character has g iven within the last day or two a public notoriety to the name of a small townshi p in the neighbourhood of Bristol , which , after some recent electioneering proceedings there , wpS , to say the least of it , quite unnecessary . The rector of the pariah has sundry fair daughters , — a »? not many weeks since one of them ( the youngest ) was united in the bonds of wedlock to the man of her choice—a gay and dashing son of Mars , an officer of the Indian army . Without the smallest intention of imputing sordid and mercenary motives , we may mention that in the nei ghbourhood it is said to be an acknowled ged fact that with the

      young lady herself , money" was the primary coniideration in the bargain . This , however , by the way . A week or so since—so says the public rumour—the newly-married couple were staying for * while with tbe father of the bride , when business called the young husband to London or Southampton . On bis return , after an absence of a day or so , he in ^ quired naturally enough for his wife . He was first told that , she had left to join bim on the road . To .-ubsequeat interrogatories addressed to the father , however , he received the startling and unexpected reply , that he would never see her again . Like " young Loveil , " in tbe ballad , he has since " souehthcr wildly but found her not : " it was clear that she had been spirited away . Forthwith the walls of this and other neighbouring towns and villaffes were covornrf

      irith hut ; c placards , offering a reward of £ 50 for information as to the whereabouts of the missing y « nng ladv , who is described as hating been " forcibly abducted by ' a relation . " The rumour iu the neighnourhood i * , that either the lady i-r her relatives were not satisfied with the prospect of expatriation involved in the joining of his regiment by the bridrgroom ; that it was conjectured that his business in town was to secuie berths for tbe passage ; and that ad . vantaae was taken of his absence to secret tbe lady—but whether with or without her consent , that most reliable depnnent . public rumour , sayeth not . To add to the ront mce of tbe affair , we heird it whispered in Bath on Tuesday , that the carriage of the papa was 8 een , to enter the cty rapidly that morning—that it bore a lady wrapped closely in a large mantle—and that it drove swiftly to the railway station—followed as rapidly by a man on horseback who appeared to have a determined eye to the quality of t ie suspicious , if not contraband cargo . Here the affair , bo far as we can gather , rests at preient : hut it has afforded

      Alleged Adduction An Incident Of Unusual...

      patter for much scandal among our gossips—male and female—in club and coterie . —Bath Gasettt . Mbions iso CccoMBBBs . —yesterday , at Mnrlboroughntreet , Thomas Henry Pearson and Charles Henry Peacock , the former a time-keeper and the latter a conductor in the omployof the Atlas Paddington Omnibus Company , were placed at the bar before Mr . Long , charged with a robbery , there was also a charge against Peacock for a violent assault upon a policeman . —Marsh , 195 S , said—Between one and two this morning , as I ? was on duty by Grove Rouse , St . Jonn ' s Wood , the residence of George Greenough , Esq ., I heard footsteps at the hack of the premises , and presently aftarwardsthe prisoners made . their eeress therefrom up the tiravel walk . I said to Peacock , "W hat are you doing here ? " Upon which he immediately ran off , and I then laid hold of Pearsonand asked him what he had under his

      , coat , when the reply he gave mo waa that if I wished to know particularly I must take him to the station-house . I got him into . the road after he hud resisted me very much and while we were struggling together , Peacock came up and asked me what I was going to do with bis mate . I informed him that I intended to lock hun gup , and he then , without saying a word , gave me a severe blow upon the neck with hi * fist . Upon Pearson being searched , I found on him ten cucumbers and a melon ; and after he was locked up another melon and two more cucumbers , which he had no doubt dropped , were picked up within twenty yards of the station . I ha ve sineo examined tho garden , and found that a great many cucumbers have been torn

      from the ground beneath the g lass frames , which had been left open , and there were several panes of glass broken . — Mr . Greenough examined the cucumbers , & o „ produced by tbe police , and he had no hesitation in saying that they were all his property . —In answer to the charge , tbe prisoners said they were much the worse for drink , and Pearson accounted for the possession of the cucumbers , & c , by saying that he bought them for 2 s . of a person who was dressed like a gardener- Peacock ( who was formerly a constable in the police ) added that he might havo pushed the constable , but did not believe that he struek him . —They were sentenced to a month's imprisonment without the opportunity being afforded them of paying a fine , and in addition thereto Peacock was fined 40 i . j or a month , for tho assault upon ¦

      the constable . :. : ¦ ¦;¦ Thb Pawhkd SiAKsaEH . —At the Westminister Police Court Yesterday , in reference to the case of Thomas , wbo has undergone two or three examinations at this court , charged with procuring a number of portraits , it nviy bo of advantage to sorao of his dupes to state that Sergeant Smith , of the detective police—the officer engaged in tho case—has not only nearly fifty pawnbrokers' tickets of portraits and miniatures , but has alao found a number of othws out of date which have been for years in the possession of tho respeotivo pawnbrokers with whom they were originally deposited . Of those with respect to which duplicates have been found many are of considerable value , but the police are unable , from being unacquainted with the features of their owners , to communicate with them , and consequently many valuable and much-prized family portraits may be unclaimed . Although tho value

      set upon them by friends or relatives would doubtless be considerable , many of them are such dead stock on the pawnbroker ' s hands that he would willingly , after affording them the shelter of hia hospitable roof for years , past with them upon payment of the principal and interest . Sending some of them to the sale-room has been found useless . Lord Craven , we are told , has been three times , and the unfortunate pawnbroker never could realise tbo money lent upon him . Lidy Edward Howard " run out , " and , consequently , becomjng tho property of the pawnbroker , it has since fetched a good price ; but although Don Miguel , Don Carlos , and many others , were not " born to blood unseen , " tbey have looked in vain out of the pawnbroker ' s window for a release . We understand fch ; it nearly a hundred , the greater part of which are " out " pawned more than twelve months , have been discovered , many of which are supposed to have been executed by the

      most eminent masters . Mbtjancholy Suicide . —On the 22 nd inst ., Mrs . Charlotte Allen , a woman well known and respected in the village of Hucknall Torkard , committed suicide under very melancholy circumstances . For some f ' mepast Mis . Allen had been in poor health , her spirits seemed daily to get more and more depressed , and she bad on more than one occasion been heard to exclaim that she had more trouble upon her mind than she could bare , and that she should some day or other make away with herself . On one occasion she told Matthew Grundy , one of her husband's workmen , that she wanted a friend , and asked him if he would be her friend . He replied that he did nut see how he could be a friend to her ; but after exacting a promise of secrecy , Mrs . Allen proceeded to " open her mind to him . " She had been to Mr . Bowker , surgeon , of Bulwell , but did not like

      to go again , and therefore wished Grundy to go for her . She then added , "I was at Nottingham the Monday before last Easter , and went to Radford station to come home by the train , but I was too late . " Mrs . Allen then said she went back to Nottingham , intending to get home by the cav « rier , but was too late for bim also , in consequence of which she started to walk . On reaching the Cross-lane-ends three men stopped her , and after rifling her pockets one of them threw her down , and , in spits of her resistance , succeeded in violating her person . The deceased ended her story by stating that she had had a certain disease ever since . Grundy advised her to tell her husband , but Mrs . Allen declared that she dared not . She cried bitterly and appeared to be ia great distress . Gvundo went for medicine as desired , But Mr . Bowker refused to give it , saying that he

      must see the patient herself . She , however never went . On Wednesday morning , the 22 nd inst ., she got up between six and seven o ' clock , and went down stairs , leaving her husband in bed . After preparing breakfast for one or two of the workmen she went into the woreshop , and there selecting a razor from a case which stood in one oi the window-sills , at once inflicted a terrible gash in her throat . The first person who entered tbe shop afterwards was John Richards , and the deceased was then discovered lying in a pool of blood on tbe floor , with the razor a short distance from her . Life had evidently been extinct for some little time . The body was soon after removed to the Lord Byron publichouse , where an inquest was held upon it on the following day . The jury found a verdict— '' That the deceased cut her own throat , being at the time in an unsound state of mind . "

      Tebrible asd Fatal Accident sear Bristol . —A painful degree of excitement ami alarm was produced yesterday at the fashionable neighbourhood of Clifton , near Bristol , in consequence of a melancholy and fatal accident to a young gentleman named Cliffe . Mr . Clifle was the son of a chemist carrying on a business of groat , extent at Wine-street , Bristol , and he was , it is said , a youth of considerable promise . On Thursday evening he went , in company of a younger brother , to tho Clifton Hotwells , for the purpose of taking an airing on the banks of the far-famed river Avon . After walking for a little time on the Clifton side of the river , the brothers crossed in the Rownham ferry boat , and followed the river ' s bank towards Leigh . They had passed a portion of the Leighwood and Nightingale and Salvator Rosa Valleys , when they came to some quarries from which stone is being worked . The cliffs at this point are exceedingly steep , and unfortunately young Mr . Cliffe clambered up ono of them , for tho purpose , it is thought , of gathering somo

      botanical specimens which are to be found growing from the interstices of the rock . He had ascended with safety a considerable height , when , either from sudden giddiness or else from missing his footing , he was precipitated to tho towing-place below . In its descent his person bent violently against the projecting points of the rock , occasioning severe injuries . Some quarrymen , who were working near enough to perceive the accident , ran to the spot , as did some gentlemen who landed from a boat in which they were proceeding down the river , and the unhappy young gentleman was conveyed by them toWonnacott ' sRownbam Inn , where a chaise was procured , in which he was conveyed with all possible speed to the Bristol Infirmary . The shock he had received however , was of so severe a character as to place him " beyond tbe skill of all surgery , " and he died within a very short time of his reaching that institution .

      THE POTArOE CROP . Several accounts from reliable sources speak despotidingly of the re-appearance within the last ten days of the fatal blight of 1810 , attended by some of tho worst symptoms which marked its destructive career at the period named . Letters from the western and northern provinces concur in representing the crop as having already suffered considerable d & mage ; but ample allowance must be made for " panic" and tho natural alarm consequent upon the probability of any portion of the food of the people being d troyed by a recurrence of the former visitations . A letter from the county of Louth , sayst— Dundalk , July 2 G .

      I regret to have to inform you that the potato blight , which caused such destructive ravages in previous years , has , within the last week , made its appearance here , and in the worst form . In a word , the prop , so far as I can judije , is gone . I would be veryfar from being an alarmist , or indeed putting much faith in hearsay statements ; but I have seen evidence of what I state that unfortunately proves it to be too true . A farmer . from the townland of Ballybarrack brought in a large portion of his crop , which he found all tainted , and could not find sale for the whole in market here on Saturday at 2 d per stone . So rapid has been the progress of tho disease , that out of a lot purchased on Friday last , and which then had but the merest indications oi it , and were fit for and good at table , not a single potato of these boiled to-daj- was fit to taste . They were rotten .

      Fatal Accident io Mr . Stephenson of Ro therham . —O n Wednesday last , Mr . Lucas Ste " phenson , tailor , Bridge-gate , Rotherham , was killed at the Leeds Railway station , under the following circumstances : —He went to Leeds on Tuesday on business , and came to the Leeds station on Wednesday afternoon , intending to return home by the train leaving at four o ' clock . He got to the wrong side of the platform , and was about to step into a train that was starting for York , but discovering his mistake , lie made all haste to recross the line . On reaching the other platform , he found the train destined for tho south beginning to move , and ran to get in . Unfortunately he had a large bundle under each arm ,

      and on putting out his hand to open the carriage doer , he failed to lay hold of tbe handle . This sli ghtly overbalanced him , and he fell with one shoulder against the moving carriages . He was turned round , and fell between the platform aud the carriages . The last 2 carriage passed over his head , crushed it to a mummy , and , of course , killed him instantly . The body was removed to an inn near the railway station , where it remained until after the holding of a judicial inquiry , which took place on Thursday , at the Leeds police office , the jury recording a verdict of accidental death . The deceased was then removed to Rotherham , and interred in the cemetery there the same evening . Deceased has left a wife and two young children .

      The Australian Gold Diggigns. The Follow...

      THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD DIGGIGNS . The following letter from a gentleman connected with West Lothian , now in Australia , appears in the " Scotsman : "— KanjjMong , near Port Fairie , Port Phillip , March 2 nd , 1852 . In December last we clipt our flocks of sheep , and sent to Port Fairie about ten thousand pounds of wool , which has cone by the Helen fer London . We have now upwards of 4 , 000 sheep , and expect 1 , 000 to 1 . 200 lambs shortly , our sheep are doing as well as toot rot will allow in this district , but not te compare with the open plains , where the soil is poor and cold , ani f » ot rot almost unknown : however , we cannot complain , and are glad we got tbe sheep . We have now some idea of disposing of them and replacing , them with lean cattle , which the present great scarcity of labour renders necessary , cattle being more manageable . Shepherd ' s

      wages have risen from £ 20 to £ 35 . aid likely soon to be £ 51 ) , and men not to be had , even at that . We have only one white shepherd . Our flocks arc tended by blacks , and capital shepherds they are ; unfortunately , they live in constant dread of thiir one mies ( other tribes . ) However , we have them well armed . Our tribe—a branch of the main one—consists of eight men , women , and children , nil as honest as steel ; they live at less expense than white men , and all knit while herding—thus tbey are much more valuable to us than the whites , and in a few months we will be able to manage entirel y with the blacks . We of course keep them in clothing . Our rattle are at present doing well , and are in fine condition . The market in Melbourne is just now overstocked and prices low , while lean cattle are scarce from want of hands to bring them to market . The last lot of 700 I went to Melbourne for , cost 12 s . a head there ; IGs . to 18 s . Is now the price , and difficult to get your supply at that , unless jou go to the breeders 300 to 400 miles off .

      I am sorry to say that in consequence of this cursed gold discovery stations and farming are now at a discount for want of hands , and no one knows what prices will go to , as there are no buyers where the returns are di-pondent on labour . Stations have fallen twenty per cent , since the gold oiyeovery . For my run ( station ) I would not be inclined to take less than £ 5 000 . and that only wi'h a view to invest it in town property , which is rising with amazing rapidity . Such a prodigious importation ofemigrantsfrom the neighbouring colonies is now going on that it is difficult to guess at the probable price of butcher meat in another year , as you cannot import that commodity so easily as flour , < fcc . Some people predict £ 10 ahead for bullocks and 20 s . for sheep very shortly . At piesent prices are so low as still to admit of melting , but there is no saymg how soon such a mass of consumers maybe with us from all points , ns will soon make disappear our supp ! i » s of beef , at pre . sent so wnstsfuily consumed . Prices of « rain , flour , & c , fluctuate very mucn ; im arriv , 1 or two of flour causes an immediate fall , or an absence of import sometimes a very considerable advance . Labour also fluctuuies much-the crop farmers were in despair , VI \' Pif ny ^ Mes gave 25 s . with grog and meat per acre for cut ! ting , _ whi e others , at the distance of a few days , g „ t tlie same done ! ° ; J ?' ¦ ' .-,.:, ! le '' th * 8 'season rose from 5 s . to 10 s . per bushelnow it is » s .
