The thieves, on this occasion, got in through the Emile!' in rear of the house, over a wall six feet high into the yard ; they only cut out one panel as far as the Iron, and by placing an instrument under the iron sheet they partially got it nut of its place.

The hay harvest has been generally protracted by the con stant rain, bitt at last finished ; both the natural and sown grasses more fortunately than conld have beau expected, leaving the prospect of an abundant aftermath. Scat erlyany stock of old buy on timid. 'flue long succession of coot and rainy weather will occasion a much later corn harvest than was expected, in which, however, there will be the air Hid age of great fulness and substance , in the ear from gradual vegeta tion. The waist of sun has beets generally felt since the great heats in June, atul in the northern parts of I lio•von wry, ninety corn of all kinds is yet in an immature state. In the forward districts, and ii; the beat soils, great breadths of corn have been cut within the last fortnight, and as much carried as the wet state of the weather would permit. On soda Boils the crops of wheat, barley oats, pease, and rye are great ; and the few samples yet Ahem' at market are of fine quality. Li ars will, perhaps, turn out beyond expectation, but the lieliguland beans have not succeeded so well as the native. On the least promising soils, corn of all kind seems likely to prove all ay er age crop, granting a favourable layer harvest. Considerable ,17tmage irier been done 1:, exposed situations both in England and Scotland, from the crops being beaten down by w hid and Turnips on gno:l soils are a wonderful crop, and pm tames generally so. Hops somewhat impriived.by the rain., but greatly damned and deficient crop. fruit, in the cy der counties, a short crop. Wool enjoys a brisk trade; and to the unspeakable satisfactiPn of du: Illantiracturers, some good orders have arrived from the new South American leVliblie. Seeds will scarcely (meet an average crop. Lean stock con tinues to advance ; and while some countries are content with the price received for their fat stock, others complain of a ge neral combination of the butchers! Swine are cheaper. Good horses still maintain a very high price. Live stock iced well, and the sheep have becu little troubled with the fly. EXTRAORDINARY BRAVERY AND HORRIBLE ASSASSINATION. A Clewiston Paper contains the following nareive. We are not aware that it has been published in this country. It will be perused with interest. "The death of Capt. Manuel de los Rios seems to have ex cited considerable surprise, both as to the time and manner of his assassination. But a brief account of the facts winch led to it, will spew that it was the natural coneequence of his honourable courage. •' A great number of Spanish merchantmen had been for some weeks blockaded in the port of Havannah, by a petty Buena: Ayren privateer ; and although there were - .wo vessels of war belonging to his Catholic Majesty in port, their brave commanders had not the courage, with their united force, to attack the little insu►gent privateer. Thus situated. the Spanish merchantmen, though ready laden and with a favour able breeze, might have been blockaded until doomsday, had not a meeting been held to devise private means for the libe ration of their embargoed freights. A vessel was armed and ttttt nitioned, and the brave Manuel de los Rios was appointed Captain. His Catholic Majesty's Viceroy at Havatisiali con sented that the attempt should he made to heat off the impii dent privateer, and Manuel sailed birth ith a promiscuous crew, to the scene of combat, while the two Government vet. sels of war, with their officers, lay snug in petto. Captain de los Rios, after a bloody contest, was victorious; lie stink the privateer, and returned to Havanna h 4141libi the acelamations of the inhabitants. The Spanish officers, though they had no sense of honour or of courage, had 4 feeling alive to envy and revenge; the brave Manuel was found the nest day after his victory assassinated on the Alameda, a public walk of the city ! A deed so atrocities amid so cowardly, that it seems to have excited the horror of all the inhabitants of Havaiinali.— The murder is unreservedly laid to the charge of his Majesty's oliicers; and the motive by which it was perpetrated evinces the character oldie Government and its agents, against whose bigot►y and despotism the Smith Americans are giadually muting to secure their independimve.
