THE harvest commenced in the lower districts about the 18th of August, but reaping went slowly forward till the 24th, by reason of frequent showers and heavy dews, attended with mist, which seldom cleared up till toward the middle of the day. From the 24th there was little interruption to the operations of harvest, and a considerable breadth of Wheat fields was clear by the end of August. In the higher districts, little was cut down till the commencement of the present month, and two-thirds of the Corn still remain standing. Though the temperature has been unusually mild, the ripening process goes forward slowly; and the inequality of the braird in the early parts of summer is conspicuous, by the crop ripening unevenly. In the Carse of Gowrie, and Vale of Strathearn, where the Wheat and Oats are all cut down, and for the most part secured in the barn-yard, a few solitary patches of late green Barley are still to be seen standing. In the higher parts of Fife, and in some of the Highland glens, Oats still look green, mixed with some early plants, that are totally ripe. As hitherto, there has been no hoar frost. The ears have, in general, filled well. Wheat did not this season occupy the usual breadth, but the quantity is superior, and the produce will balance the deficiency of breadth; the major part of that valuable species of grain is now secured in good condition. Barley carries a long, well-filled ear, and though mixed with greens, promises a full return. Oats are short and thin, but remarkably well furnished. Beans and Pease are well podded. Potatoes promise a fair return, and Turnips will be more weighty than usual. Upon the whole, it may be stated with fairness, that the crop, in general, is rather above than below an ordinary average.

The favourable appearance of the crop has already produced a fall in price in the Corn Market. Wheat has come down in price of late, and Oats, since the opening of the Ports for that article, are in little demand. Old Wheat only brings from 23s. to 25s., new Wheat a shilling or two less. Oats bring from 17s. to 20s. In Barley there is little doing. The price of Cattle are stationary, and Horses meet with rather brisker sales than at the summer markets.

Obituary.

DR. IRVINE OF LITTLE DUNKELD.

The death of Dr Irvine has excited a profound and universal feeling of regret throughout the whole circle of his acquaintances and friends. In the religious world he was well known as the author of several valuable pamphlets on the state of religion in the Highlands, and on the ecclesiastical law of Scotland, and as the warm friend and supporter, with his purse and pen, of every philanthropic institution. In the literary world, also, he was held in high estimation as an able and profound Celtic and Oriental scholar; and there can be no doubt that the cause of Gaelic literature, in particular, has sustained a most important loss by his death. He was one of the persons nominated by the Highland Society of Edinburgh to compile their Celtic Dictionary, and he is understood to have executed his part of the task, which was fortunately completed a short time before his decease, with uncommon ability and success. The late Dr Stewart of Edinburgh mentions him, in the preface to his Gaelic grammar, as one of the friends to whom he was principally indebted in the composition of that excellent work; and his name is on the records of the Highland Society of London, as the donor of a large body of Celtic MS. poetry, which he is known to have collected from oral recitation in different parts of the Highlands and Isles, and which, we understand, is considered, by the most competent judges, to be the most invaluable repository now in existence of a floating literature, that, but for him, must have been for ever lost to the public.

The loss of Dr. Irvine, however, will be longest and most deeply felt by his parishioners and personal friends. To the latter he was endeared by a warm generosity of temper, and an unaffected kindness of manners, that are but rarely combined, to an equal extent, in the same individual; and to the former by the most conscientious dis

charge of pastoral duty, and the most delightful interchange of cordiality and good deeds. His professional acquirements were of a very respectable order. It was a maxim of his, that every man should unceasingly labour to become an adept in his particular profession-and, in practice, he completely verified his maxim, being intimate. ly acquainted with the history of the Church, and of the various sects, schisms, and tenets, that prevailed within its pale, in ancient and modern times, and being, both in his sermons and conversations, a firm advocate of the enlightened and evangelical views of divine truth, which he had derived from a careful and critical study of the original scriptures. It was, however, in the discharge of the practical duties of his profession that his exertions were most unwearied, and that his character most eminently shone. His week-day attentions to his flock were unremitting; and the poorest of his parishioners will bear testimony to the open frankness and unaffected kindness of manner, which always made his advice doubly acceptable, and which led his parishioners to believe that he took a personal rather than a professional interest in their welfare.

It is gratifying to have it to record, as a proof of the regard with which the recollection of his character is cherished in that part of the country where he was best known, that the inhabitants of the parish of Little Dunkeld are now busy in raising a voluntary subscription for the erection of an appropriate monument to his memory; and that the members of a Highland Society, composed of persons from all the adjoining parishes, have only been prevented from contributing for a similar purpose, from a conviction, that those who enjoyed the privilege of sitting under his ministry have the best title to take the lead in paying the last marks of respect to his memory.

Her domestics and dependents have lost in her a kind and benevolent lady, who had much enjoyment in seeing them all comfortable and happy. The poor never applied to her without obtaining relief; nor did they even need to apply to her, for she herself sought out the distressed, the widow, and fatherless, and, without ostentation, delighted in alleviating their miseries as far as she could. She bore a long and severe illness with much Christian fortitude and resignation, and beheld the approach of death with compo sure and peace, supported by the blessed hope of life and immortality beyond death and the grave. -At Monmouth, John Charles Colins, M.

He was a pensioner of Chelsea Hospital nearly fifty years. He retained his faculties till within a few minutes of his death; and a few days prior to his dissolution he related with enthusiasm the earliest achievements of his active life. He was buried at St John's Church with military honours, by order of Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Thomas Pate Hankin, commanding the Scots Greys, who are now stationed in Manchester barracks. This gentleman heard of the death of the old soldier, and with the true feeling of a military man, gave immediate directions for his interment to be sanctioned by the attendance of a suitable guard, the regimental band of music, who played solemn dirges, a horse properly caparisoned, and military mourners, consisting of a Captain, a subaltern, three serjeants, two corporals, and forty privates.
