of the Holy Ghost, striving together for the faith of the Gospel, for the purity f divine ordinances, and for the enlargement of the Church of Christ." The articles which form the basis of union were then read, the whole members of both Synods standing.After this was done, the senior Moderator stood up and said, "I declare, in the name of the General Associate Synod, whom I represent, that the General Associate Synod is hence forth one with the Associate Synod ;" and the junior Moderator, in like manner, rose and said, "I declare, in the name of the Associate Synod, whom I represent, that the Associate Synod is henceforth one with the General Associate Synod." The two Moderators immediately gave each other the right hand of fellowship, in which they were followed by all the Ministers and Elders belonging to both Synods. The United Associate Synod now called the senior Minister present in the house to take the Chair, and officiate as Moderator. Accordingly the Rev. David Greig, of Lochgelly, took the Chair, gave out a Psalm, (Psalm cxxxiii.) and constituted the Court by prayer. He was succeeded by the Rev. Dr Pringle, of Perth, and the Rev. Dr Hall, of Edinburgh, the two next in seniority of the Ministers present. The former led the devotions of the Assembly by singing Psalm xc. 13-17, and by prayer; and the latter by reading the 17th chapter of John, singing Psalm Ixxii. 17-19, and by prayer. After the devotion al exercises were finished by singing Psalm cxlvii. 1-5, the roll of the United Associate Synod was called by the former clerks, and business adjourned till Tuesday at 11 o'clock. The multitude who witnessed this event, memorable in the history of the Secession, was immense: but, notwithstanding the pressure of the great crowd, eager to gain admittance, the whole was conducted with the greatest order. Upwards of three hundred gentlemen connected with the Secession, and several of the Magistrates, dined together in Oman's new rooms, Waterloo Place, after the public services were finished, and spent the evening with the greatest harmony.

THE weather since our last has been favourable, not only for the operations of the harvest, but also highly conducive to the filling and gradual ripening of grain. Till within these few days, the heat has not been so intense as it was last harvest, nor will the crop be nearly so early ready in the Highland districts, where the corn is not above onethird cut down; but, as the season is not far advanced, and the present weather promoting the ripening process with unusual rapidity, little apprehension is entertained of the safety of the crop. In the southern and early districts the corns are, for the most part, cut, and a great part secured in the barn-yard. Wheat, as was all along expected, turns out considerably above an average crop. Oats are deficient in straw, and, upon the whole, will hardly reach a fair crop. Barley is visibly deficient, and stooks thin: the excessive rains about seed-time have told all along on that species of grain. Peas and beans on dry black lands filled well, and may be reckoned a full crop; on clay loam, the worm has been very destructive to the young peas within the pod, and sound seed may be in request at spring. Potatoes have not swelled so freely as might have been expected, had there been a little more moisture in the soil about the beginning of this month. Turnips, too, are in want of rain, but are, in general, in a growing state, though, from the late period of the season, they cannot now be expected to swell off to a weighty crop. The prices of grain have been nearly stationary throughout the month. The ports being open for the importation of oats, a slight fall in the price of that species of grain is anticipated. New hay has sold very heavily, and at low prices. The price of black cattle seems to have reached its acme, and dealers are now selling them in the south country at very reduced prices; nor is it at present expected that the demand will be brisk at the autumn fairs in this country. Little wheat has yet been sown in early situations, and the soil is, in general, rather dry for giving a regular braird to the pickled seed-12th Sept. The unusually warm weather which prevailed in August last year brought forward vegetation with a rapidity seldom observed in this country at that period of the season. Though the temperature for the last four weeks has been moderately high, yet, we observe, that, compared with last season, vegetation is now eight days later. The Veronica candida came in flower on the 22d August, a few days later than last year; the common soap-wort on the 6th September, six days of difference; and the Aster amellus, which flowered on the 7th September last year, has not yet opened its blossoms.
