Their contents are of importance, both positively and nega- tively. Corulina has finally surrended: but Ihe a test accounts from Cadiz give no hope that any negotiations will take place there.

His death will occasion a great influx ol English visitors into Rome duiins Ihe winter, to witness Ihe solem nilics which take place at Ihe election ot his successor, and which have not occurred lor neaily twenty- looi ye'rs,— The French Cardt. mils of Clermont, Touucrre, and Le Fare, were ahoul to leave Paris, to be present at the conclave. A greal sensation has been created in the city th s morning by the arrival of the long ex:. ec; ed decision of Ihe Colombian (. ongrcss, in regard to M, Zea's Loan. The Jamaica Pa; ers, which reach to the July, do not contain any news, but Ihe private letters hung official accounts from llie Congress of i, olembia of great in teresl, which were immediately read in the Foreign Market. The Government of Colom- bia it appears, while lliey wholly disavow Mr. Zea's authority and proceedings, admit them- selves bound in honour to repay the amount of the debt, as far as value has been received, and Commissioners afe lo he appointed to liqui- date the claims, who will issue new bonds or debet lures. Great buslie immediately ensued among Ihe holders of the present bonds. A Genoa Gazelle, received yesterday, an- nounces the return of the King of Naples lo his dominions. His Majesty reached his capital on the 6th, and attended the theatre of SI. Carios the same evening. By accounts from Lima, dated March 6, it appears that the state ol affairs was still very unsettled in Peru, and that the Independents continued lo quarrel among themselves, al- though the Spanish forces were once more approaching, and the fate of the country was far f rom decided. A new revolution had taken plate m Ihe Government of Ihe Republic; the Junta of Three had been abolished, and the former Chief of the Police installed in the office of President by Ihe army. This change, notwithstanding its importance, had been a- chieved without bloodshed, A mail arrived on Thursday from Turkey. From Constantinople, letters dated 281h July, say, lhal the military there are much dissatis- fied, and that they express. their disappoint- ment in their usual manner, by setting fire t > the city ; for iike the French in Spain, the Ottomans in ancient Greece only consider them- selves in cantonments. In the month of July three attempts were made lo fire Constanti- nople, viz. oil the l. Stli, 20th, and 24lli. The first was very destructive, and the whole arsenal was saved nearly by a iiiincle. The Sultan, who is a most accomplished and de- termined Barbarian, on the 31st made a very sudden visit to the Port, and caused all " his Ministers to tremble. The Janissary Aga was ca. led into the Royal presence, and soon afterwards, in pursuance ot imperial and legitimate ordeis, 40 ofthe soldiers most active m ining the city were put lo dealh in various ways, and 150 were sent to Ihe castles of the Bosphorus. From the Morea little was known, except that it had been invaded by a powerful army, and it was reported that the formerly classic Alliens, was again in Hie possession ot tiie Barbarians. During the different fires nearly 2000 houses were destroyed, and one lnr" e three- decker was burnt to the water's edge. In the ia> t one the Sultan's Mosque itself was in imminent danger.

CHESTER ASSIZES terminated on Saturday afternoon last j when Edward Clarke ( aged 18), for highway robbery at Stockport; and John Lowe ( aged ,59), and John lienshall ( aged 53), for a burglary at Mobberley, received sentence of death and were left for execution. \>. . Samuel Harrison, for forgery ; Matthew Old field, and John Humphreys, for. burgJary ; John Bardsley, and Mary Ann Jones, for cow- steeling'; Robert Dudlow, for stealing wearing apparel and a pocket book 5 John Wood, Charles Brown, and William Nunnerlev, for horse- stealing severally had sentence of Death recorded against them, but were reprieved.— John Nunnerley, charged as an ac- complice with William Nunnerley was acquitted, but was, on his discharge; immediately taken into custody to be tried at Stafford on a charge of horse stealing in that county. The trial of Joseph Dale, charged with the mur- der of Mr. William Wood, of Eyam, in Derbyshire, on the 16th of July last, came on at these Assizes on Monday se'nnight, and lasted the whole day.— Our readers will recollect, that Mr. Wood was robbed and murdered on his way home from Stock- port; that suspicion fell on the prisoner Dale, and on Charles Taylor and John Piatt, his supposed accomplices ; and that Taylor, on being appre- hended for the crime, hung himself in the New Bailey, Manchester.— Piatt has not yet been appre hended. — Ou the trial of Dale, the murder and robbery of Mr. Wood, with the connection of Dale, Piatt, and Taylor, and the circumstance of part of Mr. Wood's property being found in their posses- sion, was clearly proved j and Mr. Lavender, who apprehended Dale, proved that the prisoner Con fessed that; the murder and robbery were committed by Piatt and Taylor, and that he was no further concerned than in receiving part of Mr. Wood's property after the murder, as lie was at some dis tance when the crime was committed. The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty.— Mr. D. F. Jones, tlie* prisoner's Counsel, then moved the Court in arrest of judgment, on the ground, 1st, that the indictment set forth that the prisoner and his accomplices had caused the death of Mr. Wood by striking him with certain stones, without speci- fying- any number or value of such stones ; and secondly, that the indictment was grammatically erroneous ; in consequence of these objections, the Court deferred passing sentence until Friday last, on the evening of which day Dale was again brought up when Chief Justice Warren, advertin^ to tiie objections which had been taken to the indictment, said, his brother Marshall was of opi nion, that those objections were not well founded, nor sufficient to arrest the judgment of the court $ but as he himself had strong doubts on the subject, arid entertained a somewhat different view of the case, he would defer, at least for the present session, pronouncing sentence on the prisoner. . In the mean time, he observed, there was another indictment against Dale, for the robbery of the unfortunate gentleman who had been murdered, and if the parties were prepaue. d, the court was ready to enter upon that trial.— Mr. D. F. Jones, the prisoner's Counsel, then rose, and urged the necessity of put- ting off the trial until the next assizes. He read an affidavit from Mr. Bent, the prisoner's solicitor, stating that several ofthe witnesses for the prisoner bad left, the city, under an impression that the trial would not come on and that there was one material witness necessary for the defence, whose attendance could not be procured during the present assizes.— Mr. Hill, the Attorney- General, observed, that though he was ready to enter upon the charge, he should not at present press it, under the circum- stances which had been stated. In this arrange- ment the court concurred, and of course the trial for the robbery is deferred till the next assizes. Sussex and Worcester Hops, TO BE .. SOLLTW AUCTION, HY C.

O11 the 30th ult. at his house in Ruthin, Edward Owen, F. sq. of Fachl-. vyd, Denbighshire, aged 53; universally esteemed in the circle of his numerous friends and acquaintance, for the integrity of his conduct, the benevolence of his heart, and the suavity of his manners. Al the Anglesey Great Session, William Llovd, tailor, and Robert Hughes, labourer, both of Aberffraw, found guilty of plundering the wreck jf the brig Flora, at Peurhyn Point, were sentenced to he imprisoned ten months and publicly whip- ped.— Robert Jones, for stealing clothes at Cas- teller, to be imprisoned 2 years; and Ann Jones, for stealing a piece of clolh at Llangefni, to be imprisoned 3 months. The Great Sessions for Glamorganshire com menced on Saturday hist, at Cardiff, and, much to the credit of this populous county, there were only three prisoners for trial.— Margaret Morgan, con victed of having uttered base silver, was sentenced lo six months* imprisonment, and to find sureties for one year, herself in £ 40 aiid two others in £ 20 each ; William Jones, charged with killing William Jones the younger, of Coity, was acquitted; Win Thomas, charged with sheep, stealing, was dis- charged by proclamation. At Pembrokeshire Assizes, held at Haverford west, D. Jenkins, found guilty of stealing wearing apparel at Manorbier; and William Allen, for stealing bread, butter, and milk, at Coalpit Park were sentenced to six months' imprisonment William Thomas, for stealing some weariug apparel and 17s in money, at Hubberstone, three months and Martha Evtioti, for stealing a shirt, hand kerchief, Uc. at Llauenwas, one month, and each tn be kept to hard labour at the Tread- Mill.. Thomas Philips, tried for stealing money to the amount of £ 85. 8s. f, d. at Cart left' Mill, was acquitted. LIBI- RAI, LANDLORDS.— Among numerous instances of liberality, public spirit, and: patriotic conduct, displayed by the Welsh gentry, we know of none more worthy of being recorded, than the conduct of the proprietors of the. Cifgwyii estate, Cardiganshire. At their lale Audit at'PJewcastli Emlyn, one of the worthy proprietors appeared in person, although his residence is - distant two hundred and fifty miles, and finding the arrear amount to a thousand pounds, directed the Agent the Rev. Mr. W. to apply the sponge lo them, and they further recommended him, lo make a reduc. lion of 20, 30, or 40 per cenl. as in his own dis rretion, the case of the different' holders should most urgently require. At ( he adjourned Sessions for Worcester held on Thursday at the Hop- Pole Inn, Evan Arthur, formerly of Tynydole, Radnorshire and late of Droitwich, farmer, an insolvent debtor, was opposed hy Davis and Cheese landlords, for fraudulently making;, a way with his property, in order to give an undue pre feretice to Evan James, a creditor; aud also for removing and concealing part of his pro perty, with an iiitenl lo defraud his said land lords, ami detaining creditors, and the case being most satisfactorily proved, he; was nianded for eighteen months.— i'ranees Pye ress, late of Stourbridge, milliner and dress- maker, an insolvent debtor, was opposed in person by Miss Hannah Hardwick, of the firm of Palmer and Hardwick, of Bristol, milliners and haberdashers, her detaining creditors, tor contracting a debt of .€ 80, without any rea- sonable or probable expectation, at the time of contracting it, of being able to pay the same, and adjudged to remain in prison for one year. ^ alc0 fay auctioit.

CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 1, There was again a very large arrival of Wheat. Beans, and Flour last week ; not many Oats, and but moderate quantities of other descriptions of Corn. This morning the fresh supplies at market are only moderate. The weather is now very fine, and our millers, in consequence, make very few iiirchases of Wheat; so that the prices of old Wheat lardly equal last Monday's currency, and new samples come so damp that they are sold at 2s. per quarter less than this day se'iinight. Barley is dull in sale, but the prices are unaltered. Boiling Peas hardly maintain last quotations. Grey Peas find buyers on tbe same terms as this day se'iinight. Although the supply of Oats is rather short, yet our buyers are unwilling to purchase much at the late advance in price ; there is, therefore, not much doing at present in the trade, and last week's prices were only obtained for the primest samples.

During the present unsettled state of the weather, it is impossible for Ihe best informed persons to anticipate, upon good grounds, what will be the future price of agricultural produce. Should the season, even yet, prove favourable for the operations of the harvest, there is every probability of tbe average price of grain continuing at that exact price, which will prove most conducive to Ihe in- terests of the corn growers, and at the same time encouraging to the agriculture of our colonial possessions. We do not speak lightly oil Ibis sub je;: t, for we are aware that his Majesty's Ministers have been fully alive to the enquiries from all quali- fied quarters as to the effect likely to be produced mi the markets from the addition of the present crops to the stock of wheat already on hand.— The result of these enquiries is, that ill the highest quarters there exisis the full expectation, that towards the month of November, the price of wheat will nearly approach to seventy shilings, a price which while it affords the extent of lemuner- ation to the British farmer, recognised by the Corn Laws, will, at the same time, admit of the sale of the Canadian bonded wheat; and the introduction of this foreign corn, grown by the British Colonists, will contribute to keeping down our markets, and exclude foreign grain from other quarters. Courier, Auffust 27. [ Should the present fine weather continue, it is most probable the averages, in November, will be such as to exclude our Colonial as well as al! other Foreign Grain from the Market.— KBIT ] BY WRIGHT & - SON, At the Talbot Inn, Drayton- in- Hales, in the County of Salop, on Wednesday, 10th September, Iti23, between the Hours of three and seven in the Afternoon, subject to Conditions : LOT I.

The Committee for the Management of the Patri- otic Fund, consider, that as twenty Years have elapsed since the Formation of the Institution at the Commencement of the late War, ample Time has now been allowed to carry into Effect all the Pur- poses for which it was originally established, and that the Time has at Length arrived which renders it proper to name a definite Period for the Admission of such Claims as have not yet been preferred : accordingly, the Committee now give Notice, that no Claims whatever ou the Fund will be admitted after the 20th of July of the following Year, 1824. And, that the Purport of the preceding Notice may not be misunderstood, it is considered neces- sar ., distinctly to state, that Applications must be strictly limited to the Widows and Children of those Soldiers and Seamen who were killed, and to those who weie disabled from Wounds received in Action, during the late War, which commenced in 1803, and terminated iu 1815, also including the Bombard ment of Algiers, and who have never received any Benefit from the Patriotic Fund.

DARJNC BURGLARY.— In the night of Friday, the 22d itist. the counting house at ihe Brass Works near Stone, the property of Messrs Butler and Hill, was broken open, and an iron chest, calculated to be upwards of 4 cwt. was forced out of the nail in which it was built, anil carried out of the premises. The thieves then broke open the blacksmith's shop belonging to the works, whence they took a hammer tor the purpose of forcing the chest open. Having effected their object thus far, they succeeded in carrying oft cash and drafts to the amount of hi lween £ 700 and £ 800, amongst which were a £ 20 Bank Post bill, and a £ 1 note of a bank at Welshpool, which failed some years ago. Our active and intelligent constable, R. Jones, having been engaged to trace the offenders, and suspicion having fallen upon VV. Ruck, a labourer, of Stone, who bad absented himself funn his usual employment on Saturday, Jones followed the track he bad pursued, after the robbery, in Ihe Potteries and neighbourhood, and discovered the houses ( al Lane End) where Rock bad obtained change for the £ 20 Bank Post Bill, and tiie £ 1 note of the late Welshpool Bank. Thes" hills were identified by the proprietors of the Brass Works, and Rock iva* taken inIu custody, aud has been fully committed to our county ga<<! for trial. A great mob was collected at Stone, on VVedensday, when ihe prisoner was brought away, and a rescue being apprehended, a number of gentlemen as- sisted as constables, and be was placed iu a chaise without any attempt being made to liberate him, his companions hi- ina overawed by the prompt measures which had been taken to preserve the peace. Joseph Sanders, a servant in tbe Brass Works, Is also in custody on suspicion of being concerned ill the burglary, and we understand such a cine is discovered as will speedily rid the town of Stoiie and neighbourhood of a very des- perate gang of depredators.— Stafford Paper.

Witchcraft !— It is a lamentable fact, that a belief in this bugbear actually prevails to a certain extent in the Western part of this county ( Somerset ) even in this enlightened age ! A very distressing iu. stance of the effects of this delusion bus just i eadicd us, in the case of a Mr. John Jones, aged 48, who has for some years past lived as a gardener at Lorit Kind's romantic villa at Ashley, in which capacity he was much respected, as a remarkably steady, con fidentia! person. Notwithstanding however thischa raeterfoi sobriety and propriety of coiiduct, it seems that, in consequence of some distress of mind into which he was brought by a belief in this obsolete nonsense, he was weak and credulous enough lo send a messenger to one of the family of the Makers, who reside near Col I u nipt on, so notorious for their know- ledge of the Occult Sciences! Of the nature of the communications which passed between the parties we are not informed. The combined effect, how- ever, of the whole, is but too certain, and is suf- ficiently tragical.

PEDESTRIAN ISM — Skipper made a finale of his arduous undertaking mi Tuesday evening, in a gallant and spirited style; thus achieving the as- tonishing, if not unparalleled feat, of walking 1500 miles, at the rate of 50 miles per day, in thirty successive days. His daily course was from ihe Month of the Nile public house, Copenhagen street, Worcester, to the Lamb, Cheltenham, and back to the spot he started from. Ou tiie day of accom- plishing his lask, beset off about four in the niern- sng, aud returned about half- past eight in the evening. The last two miles of Ins career, his path was lined with spectators ; and lie was joined by a baud of music and fla^ s, to escort him into ihe eity with due eclat. His step was firm and elastic, and his pace so rapid, that those u bo would keep up wilb liirn, were compelled to amble— almost trot ; and scarcely exhibiting the least symptom of fa- tigue, he brought his toil to a successful conclu- sion. We do not understand that much money was pending upon the issue of this undertaking ; and, tor his recom- pence, we rather think he has to rely upon the generosity of the public. He is a native of Norwich; is about 34 years of age, and stands 5 feet 10 inches high. Au inquest was held on Friday on the body of a respectable individual, Mr. W G reenhoir<>- hf of Birmingham, who was drowned on the preceding evening while bathing with a friend in the river Rea. The deceased, who could swim but little, proceeded beyond his ' depth,- and not withstanding his companion made every effort in his power to render effectual assistance, he was unfbrinnately drowned.

LANCASTER ASblZES. An action was brought ( Egan and Waterman v. ThrelfaltJ to recover tue amount of a bank- note, value £ i000, under the following circumstances. The plaiutitfs are solicitors iu Lo idou, and tiie defendant, a banker, brewer, spirit- nie. ciiant, and general dealer, at Liverpool. the clerk to the plaintiiis received, 011 the 3d April, if, 21, from the banking- house oi' Messrs.

Bunk of England to pay that sum. into the credit of the Attorney- General, on account of the Co:; rt of Chancery j and there lost the note, the subject of the present action. In ihe month of JiiTy, it was traced to the possession of the defendant, who being catted upon . toaccount for its possession, said he hutl discounted it tor a Mr. Isaac Henry, a slopseller ill Pool- lane, on the 2iih June of that year, and that he received one- eighth per cent, for discount. Jt was proved that. Henry had been discharged under' the Insol vent Act from Lancaster Castle mi 2ith Oct. 1821. - On the part of the defendant, Henry was called to shew that lie had applied to the defendant to change' the note for a " Mr. Hughes, whom he described as an American me. rcha'A% and he swore that lie received ±.' 740 in hi. ris, aud tne remainder iu bank- notes and cash— but the J. ur. y,. fo, uud a verdict for the plaiutirf's, without leaving the box, for £ 1000— damages 40s. Charley v. ( ribson.— Thh was a trial for a libel, which excited a considerable degree 0.' interest,. The Attorney- General stated, that the libel was of the most injurious description, reflecting upon a gentleman of character aud fortune in the neigh- bourhood of Bolton- on- fhe- Sands 5 and what ag%- gravated the conduct of the defendant was, that he was not only a young Gentleman, but also a Gra- duate of the University of Oxford.— Tiie libel was contained in an ironical production published in The Kendal < hronicle, of which the defendant was Editor, and it professed to defend the plaintiff against certain imputations of meanness and cor- ruption in the discharge of the f motions of Overseer of the Poor and Surveyor of the Roads, but at the same time was calculated to infer that the imputa- tions had been justly merited by the conduct of the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel insisted much on the want, of Christian charity maniiested by the defendant thus libelling his neighbour, with whom he professed to be living oa terms of friendship and trusted that the Jury, to mark their sense'., such . conduct, w<, ii) d visit him with exemplary damages; - The libel having been proved and read, Mr'. Sergeant Cross addressed the Jury, describing the libel as a mere school boy lampoon, unworthy the attention of the plaintiff, and wholly unlit to be made the Subject, of serious investigation in a public Court of Justice by a Special Jury.— Mr. Justic< Holroyd was of opinion tlie puJilicatio 1 in question bore the character of a libel, and deserved sue!, damages as the Jury might consider reasonab. f The Jury consulted a short time, and returned « verdict for the plaintifi^ damA^ es 40 s. HARVEST. " Grant Harvest- Lord more, by a penny or twoo, To call on his fellowes the better to doo, Give gloves to fci. y reapers a largess to crie,- And daily to loiterers have a good eie."* The joyful season of Harvest has in most notions given r ise to a number of ceremonies expressive of mirth and festivity. Among the healhensy tire masters of families at the end of harvest, offered Hp their first fruits to the gods, and feasted with their servants and acquaintance and the Jews, from whom they are thought to have derived jive custom, rejoiced and feasted at getting' in Harvest. The origin of the festivity,, however, is doubtless of much greater antiquity,- and must have existed almost with the first ftii'mation of, society. " For thai men in all countries where agriculture flourished should," as a judicious writer observes, " have expressed their joy on tilis occasion by some outward ceremonies, has its fouudalioii in the natuft of things. Sowing, is hope; reaping, fruition of the expccted good; To the husband man, whom the fear of wet, blights, & c. had harassed with great anxiety,• the completion of his wishes would, of com sty imparl an enviable ft'eling of delight. Festivity is but the reflex of inward joy, and it could hardly* fail of being produced ou this occasion, which is a- temporary suspension of every rare." in exact Conformity with this, it was, and is common with Christians, when the fruits of the earth are gathered in and laid in their proper re- positories,- to provide a plentiful supper for the harvest men and servants of the family. At this entertainment, all are, in the modern revolutionary idea of the word, perfectly equal. There is 110 distinction of persons, but nfesters and servants sit at the same table, converse freely together, and spo. d the remainder of the night iu dancing, sing- ing, & c. in the most familiar manner ; a con- viviality of which every poor dependent and villager in the neighbourhood more or less partake. The haryesttrCsiMres all Now gnther'd in, beyond the reach of storms, Sure to the swain ; the circling fence shut up, And instant winter's utmost rage defy'd : While, loose to festive joy, the country round Eaiig- hs with the lond sincerity of- mirth."

It has also been sug- gested! that it might come from the French mettir; to mingle or mix together, the master and servant, as observed, sitting promiscuously together, at these feasts. In some parts it is called the feast of in- galhefing*. The respect shown to servants at this season seems to have sprung from a grateful sense of their good Services. Every thing depends at this June tui'e ( ill their ISbbur and despatch.— Hence Tusser says : —-- " Isi liarvist tithe, harvest folke, servants and all, Should make altog- ither good chere in the ball ; And fill out the black bol of bleitli to their song-, And let them be mcrrie all harvest time long-. Once ended thy harvest, let none be begilde, Please such as did please thee, man, woman, and child, Thus doing-, with alway such help as they' can, Thou winnest the praise of tfie labouring liiitu." A note adds:— " This, the poor labourer tliinksj- croWns all; a good supper must be provided,' and every one who did any thing towards the inning must now have some reward, as ribbons, laces, rows of plhs'to boys and girls, if never so small, for their encourage- ment, and, to be sure, pin ill- pudding'. The men must have some better than best drink, which, w ith 11 little tobacco, and their scrambling fur their largess, their business will soon be done." - j- " Hoaky is brought .

GARDEN TITHE.— On Saturday, several in- habitants of the parish of Newington appeared lo summonses I hat had been issued 011 the. complaint of the Rev.- Mr. Onslow, Rector of Ihe parish, for Ms barf* their mn at Windsor, tells* us they met. ' country people celebrating their harvest some home; and adds, " their last load they crown with flowers, having besides an image richly dresty by which, perhaps, they would signify Ceres; this they keep moving about, while men and women, men servants and maid servants, riding through the streets in their cait, shout as loud as they call till they arrive at the barn." The custom of having a cart, here alluded to, and which is called The Hock Cart," still exists iu many parts of England, attended by different ceremonies, according to the county in which the festival takes place. In Northumberland, ac. cording to Hutchinson, the practice is, lo have an image, apparelled in great fmery, crowned, agree- ably to old form, with flowers,, a sheaf of corn placed under her arm, and a scythe in her hand, carried out of the village on the morning of the conclusive day, with music and much clamour of the reapers, into, the field, where it stands fixed 011 a pole all day, and when the reaping is done, is brought home in like manner. This they call, the Harvest Queen, and it represents the Roman Ceres. In soiue parts of the same county it was formerly customary, according to the reports of old people, to call " this dressed figure the Harvest Doll, or Kern. Baby; supposed to be a corruption of Corn- Baby or image, as is the kern 01; havest supper, or coru- supper. So C'arewe ( Hist. Corn, wall) mentions " an i: l kerned or saved harvest At Weringtoii, Devonshire, the custom is for the farmer, when he has finished reaping, to twist or tie together a small quantity of the ears of the last corn into a curious kind of figure, which is brought home with great acclamations, hung over a table, and kept till the next. year. Tiie owner would think it extremely unlucky to part with this, which is called a " knack;" a name, llie etymology of which seems lo be uuknqvvn. In Kent, this sort of figure is called an Ivy Girt, and is composed of some of the best com the field pro- duces, and made, as well as they can, into a human shape; this is afterwards curiously dressed by the women, and adorned with paper trimmings, cut to resemble a cap, ruffles, handkerchief, & c of the finest lace. It is brought home with the last load of corn from the field upon the waggon, and they suppose entitles them 10 a supper at the expense of their employers. Ill Scotland this sort of ancient custom is also faintly preserved to this day, by what is called the Corn- lady, or maiden, in a small. packet of grain, which is hung up when the reapers have finished. Other places adopt other ceremonies. In Hert- fordshire, there is a sport 011 this occasion called " crying the mare" ( it is the same in Shropshire), when the reapers fie together the tops of the last blade of corn, which is mare, and standing at some distance, throw their sickles at it, and he who cuts the knot, has the prize, with acclamations aud good cheer. In some parts of Yorkshire there is given, at the end of shearing or reaping the corn, a prize- sheaf to be run for, and when all the corn is got home into the stack- yard, an entertainment is given called the inning- goose. In other parts of this county also they have, on the like occasion, a Harvest Dame; in Bedfordshire, a Jack and Jill. In Cambridgeshire, at the. Hawkie, as the Har. vest Festival is called, they dress up a clown in woman's clothes, having his face painted, his head decorated with ears of corn, and bearing about hiin other symbols or Ceres, carried in a waggon with great pomp and loud shouts. This they call drawing the Harvest Queen. In most of the preceding, and other counties, it is customary to chuse a sort of Chief, oi! Lord of the Harvest. This, a note on our quotation from Tusser, informs us, is " generally some stayed sober working man, who understands all sorts of harvest work. If he be of able body, he commonly leads the swarth in reaping and mowing. It is customary also, as noticed in the same lines, to give gloves to the reapers, especially where the wheat is thistly. As to Largess," mentioned there, says the annotator, " they need not be reminded of it in these our days, whatever they were in our author's time. In Stevenson's Twelve Months of the Year. 411). Loud. 1661, under the month August, the custom of Harvest Home is thus glanced at:— " The furmety- pot welcomes home the harvest cart • and the garland of flowers crowns the cap- tain'of the reapers; Ihe battle of the field is now stoutly fought. The pipe and tabor are now briskly set a work, and the lad and the lass will have 111 iead in their heels. O, ' tis a merry time wherein honest neighbours make good cheer, and GOD is glorified in his. blessings on earth." So in Merrick's Weiperi. de,>'— " Crown'd with the ears of corne, now come, And to flic pipe sing Harvest Home. Come forth, my Lord, and see the cart, Drest up with all the country art. The harvest swaines and wenches bound For joy, to see the hock- cart crown'd : Some iilesse the cart; some kiss the sheaves ; Some prank them up with oaken leaves. PARIS.— A new Quartier, which is lo be called the Chauleau de Londres, doubtlessly because it is supposed that a great many English will take up their abode in it, is about to be built in Paris, 011 the spate comprehended between VAtie d'Antiii, tbat des Fkuies, and the road which terminates al ( he steam- engine of Chaillot. This Quartier' be bounded 011 the South by the Seine, on the East arid North by the Chomps. Elysr'es, and 011 the West by Chaitlot.

Wattling or. the Water !— A few days ago Mr. Kent, " the Marine Pedestrian," walked across the Frith of Forth, from Limekilns to Hopetoun, e distance of nearly five miles. He was accompanied ill his journey by several gentlemen in a boat. The. Russian salutation is very contrary lo our etiquette. The ladies in meeting, kiss each oilier 011 the lips and cheeks; and a lady aud gentleman meeting, the latter kisses the hand of the lady, and inclines his cheek towards her, which she kisses ; and omitting lo do this is a proof of great distance of manner, arising from either superiority of rank slight acquaintance, or offence. On Wednesday se'nnight died, very suddenly, at Leamington, Prince Kiataira, one of the New Zea- land Chiefs, who were exhibiting but a few days since in that place. He was son of the reigning King of Paroa, or the Bay of Islands, and only 18 years of age. The deceased Chief was much esteemed in his own country., as a warrior, having eminently distinguished himself on various occa- sions ill Ihe contests between Paroa and the inha- bitants of the neighbouring isles. The Prince was interred in the church- yard at Leamington, accord- ing to the forms prescribed by Ihe Established Church, having previously to his departure from New Zealand been converted to Christianity by one of the Missionaries who had been sent ihithei from this country. [ From American Papers.] GREAT AMERICAN CANAI,.— This great work, wliich was begun in 1817, and will be completed next year, is the longest canal in existence, and though upon a small scale as lo breadth and depth, is, we believe,- ill point of pecuniary outlay, the greatest1 work of the kind ever executed. It is 335 - miles in length, 40 feet wide at the surface of the water, 28 at the bottom, and four feet deep, and will cost about five millions of dSHars (£ 1,100,000), or £ 3,000 per mile ou an average. Such a vast undertaking, completed in the short period of seven years, by a State ( New York) with 1,368,000 Potentates of Europe, and that his friendship and assistance should be no less anxiously sought, than promptly and powerfully afforded.

IMPORTANT TO LANDLORDS AND FARMERS An appeal cause, between Dowager Lady Suf field aud Ihe church- wardens and overseers of Hempstead in Norfolk, respecting the poor's rates, was tried at the Quarter- sessions, at Walsingham in that county, 011 the 25th of July last; in which tbe Court determined, that John Edwards, Martha Ling, and Shore Oliver, tenants of II. and B'. H Gurtiey, Esqj'S. were under rated for their farms, although t'hey were assessed for them at about seven shillings an acre; and although it was proved, as is alleged, that they were unable, from the produce of their farms, to pay, and did not in fact, pay any rent, the poor's rates amounting lo one fifth more than Ihe wlvile net income of the farms— The Court also determined, that Lady Suflield was orer- rated for her tithe 011 these farms, although the poor's rates paid by her ladyship thereon did not, il is said, amount to one. third of her net profit, and although it is alleged to have been admitted by her own witnesses, that the productive value of the tithe was double what her ladyship stood assessed at CAUTION.— By the Act of Parliament lately passed for explaining aud amending the general Act relative to Turnpike Roads, it is provided, that if any person or persons, having the care of any waggon or wain, cart; or other such carriage conveying goods for hire or reward, or for sale, 011 any turnpike road, shall not chain or fasten any dog that may be attending him or them 011 such road, to such waggon, wain, cart, or carriage, every person so offending shall forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding twenty shillings. PUBLICANS' LICENSES.— By the Act of 3 Geo. IV. c. 77. s. 17, it is enacted, that from the 10th day of October, 1823, no license shall be granted by the Magistrates in England to retail ale, beer, or other exciseable liquors, in any house that has not already heen used for that purpose, unless the person intending to apply for such license shall have given notice to the clerk of the Justices three calendar months previously 10 the General Annual Meeting of the Justices for granting all licenses, in the place for which all licenses shall be applied for, aud shall also affix a notice 011 the principal door of the said house, and on the door of the parish chinch, 011 the several days within the months of May or June, describing Ihe house ueant to be licensed, and signed by the parly applying for such license, with his place of abode and description. CAUTION TO ARTIFICERS.— The London Gazette contains a caution lo artificers and manu- facturers against quitting Great Britain, if subjects of the realm, to exercise their callings ill foreign parts. It enumerates the penalties under several acts against this offence, and against the seduction of such persons, or the exportation of tools and instruments used by them By Ihe 5th Geo. I. c, 27, if any person shall entice any artificer of a particular class to quit the kingdom, he shall forfeit, 011 conviction, not exceeding one hundred pounds. By 23d Geo. II. c. 13, if any person shall entice an artificer of another description, he j shall forfeit, on conviction, five hundred, pounds ; for a second offence, one thousand pounds. Penalty for shipping utensils, two hundred pounds. If any captain of a vessel permit such offence, he is liable to a penalty of one hundred pounds. If any revenue officer wink at such offence, a like penally. MASTERS AND APPRENTICES.— By an Act passed in the last Session of Parliament, a power is given to two or more Justices of the Peace, to hear and determine differences between Masters and Apprentices, in all cases where no larger sum than twenty- five pounds has been given with the apprentices. Before the passing of this Act, Justices out of Session could not interfere where the premium exceeded ten pounds. And by ano- ther Act, passed last Session, the agent, manager, or steward of the master ( in case of his absence), may prefer complaint against apprentices for mis- conduct; and the Justices are to hear and deter- mine it in the same manner as if the master bad himself complained. and discovering the cause of the complaint to be a substance about the size of an ej&.- he'ciit open the intestines, extracted the substance, and the animal is now as well as ever. Flax Growing.— Mr. Besnard, of Ihe Linen Board, has been directed to proceed through the province of Ulster, with the Dutch flax farmers recently brought to this country by the trustees of the linen manufacture, for the purpose of showing the mode of pulling and steeping flax as practised in the Netherlands, In Russia, and every part of the continent, flax is deprived of the bole before steeping, and it is a fact w- ell known that Irish flax, generally speaking, is the most irregularly prepared for market of any in Europe. The mellowness and evenness of every description of continental linen, so well known and admired by those acquainted with that manufacture, is considered to arise from the superior quality of the flax of which it is coin, posed, in the preparation of which the greatest pains are taken. Viewing the treatment of this valuable plant in the Netherlands, in all its bearings, it seems, that the great art ( if such it may be called) of producing it of a better quality, and in a more merchantable form, than it lit done in Ireland, rests solely on a well regulated system, from which no person deviates, from the sower of the seed to the export merchant— a practice worthy the imitation of every person concerned in the cultivation of flax in this country— Dublin Evening Post.

A patent or privilege has been granted at St. Petersburg!! for a press for making bricks, which is not only to diminish the labour, but to perfect the form of Ihe brick. By means of this machine, not only bricks, both solid and hollow, can be made, but tubes, straight or crooked, cornices, flutes for columns, and other architectural ornaments. The patentee is a Mr. Thomas, who proposes to esta b'lish a model brick yard, with improved ovens for baking the bricks. T hree or four men can produce, it is said, with his machine, from 10,000 to 12,000 bricks daily of different forms. A Disputed Ar> 7.— A pair of swallows bad been in the habit of paying an annual, visit ti* a farmer's house in the neighbmwhunu of Stirling, to take possession of a nest which they had built in the corner of his window. Their ingenuity and 111 dustry in repairing and fastening the clay tenement, had often been the source of curiosity and amuse ment toa youth, the farmer's sou.— Some time ago, the swallows having been rather later than usual in making their appearance, he remarked that the nest had become the habitation of a sparrow— which had commenced one day to sit 011 her eggs, when the original owners appeared, aud sans ceremonie, were going to expel the intruder. This however was not so easily effected; for they had scarcely commenced their attack in front on the besieged, when they found lliey had to prepare for an equally active enemy iu their rear, in the person of, 111 enraged cock spariow, which, having wit nessed Ihe danger of his belter half, flew to her assistance. The combatants having thus got on a more equal footing, a smart engagement ensued, which, after a doubtful contest, at length termin ated iu the swallows sounding a retreat. They did not however abandon all as hopeless; having re cruiled their strength, they returned, and showed that if they were not a match for their enemies in tbe open field, they were sufficiently masters of stratagem to be amply revenged for the wrongs they had suffered. Whilst the sparrow lay quietly on her eggs, they commenced to block up her habita tion so briskly, that before she had time to be a. ware of her danger, the entrance was as securely filled up as straw and mortar could make it.— Next day, when tiie farmer's boy went up io see what hail been done, he found the poor sparrow lying lifeless on her eggs.— Stirling Journal. Population,— By the last census taken itV 1821, it appears that the most populous county in Scot- laud is Lanark, there being in it 244,387 persons, and 14,617 females more than males. In the county of Edinburgh, including tbe city, there are 191,514 persons, and no less than 15,996 females more than males. The greatest increase of popit lation for the last ten years appears in the counties of Aberdeen and Ayr, judging from their popula- tion, Aberdeen having ittcreascJ 20,312, and Ayr 23,345. The stationary counties appear to be Peebles and Sutherland. The first of these, with a population of 10,046, has only increased 111 in the last 10 years; and the last, with a population of 23,840, has only increased 211. The least populous county in Scotland is Selkirk, Which con- tains 6,637 persons, and oulv about 200 females more than males ; its increase for the last 10 years, however, has been 748. Good horses never fell in price during the de preciation of all other produce.

Proceeding eastward from Lake Erie, Ihe canal rises 48 feet, and from the summit's level falls 601 feA to the ftndson, making an ag gregate rise and Silt, of 649 feet, which is effected by 77 locks. Two levels 0? reaches extend over 65 nd 70 miles without lockage,' a circumstance perhaps wifhont'a parallel, except in China. There were 238 miles fhiished last'autumn,' aud much of the rest was in a very advanced state. The stimulus it gives to improve'itient is already'seen in tbe villages and towns which'are springing E^ vvith astonishing rapidity along its whole course. Pas. sage- boats and Bateaux already ply 011 the parts completed. The former which are generally of a size to carry ninety passengers, travel at the rate of 100 miles in twenty four hours, and the charge is about lid. or 2d. per mile.— National works are great or litllc by comparison; and to give a just idea of the enterprise displayed by the Slate of New York in this instance, we shall state the dimensions and cost of some other great works of the same kind.—- The celebrated canal of Languedoc is 152 miles long and six feet deep, has 100 locks: it has its Summit level 639 feet above the sea, cost 13,000,000 livrcs ( equal lo £ 650,000), aud was finished iu 15 years.— The Forth and Clyde canal is 35 miles long, was originally seven feet deep, has 39 locks, rises to the height of 156 feet above the sea, cost £ 300,000, and was finished in 22 years. The Caledonian canal is 24^ miles long ( exclusive of the locks), is to be 20 feet deep, has 22 locks, rises 93 feet deep above the sea, will cost £? 50,000, and will be finished ill 20 years from the time it commenced ( 1804).— The American canal, though its length renders il more expensive, has a much smaller section than any of these.

Mr, ROTHSCHILD, the Banker. Mr. N. M. Rothschild is descended from 11 German lineage. Mr. U. sought to establish his fortune in England. Various were his vicissitudes iu early life ; by bis industry and prudential conduct, b acquired considerable property in Ihe linen trade at Manchester, vast quantities of which article were exported during the last war to the Continent, where Mr. Rothschild availed himself of the peculiar ad - vantage of his brother's agency in that quarter of Europe. Previously to the close of the late war, Mr. Rothschild transferred the scene of commercial ope- rations from Manchester to London. He then became a considerable speculator in the Foreign aud British Securities 011 the Stock Exchange; and after the melancholy death of Mr. Goldsmidt, assumed a very prominent station in the money market. Rut the principal incident which contributed to the rapid elevation of otir modern Crcesus, was the escape of Bonaparte from Eiba, in 1S1.4. In coiwqueiu- e of Mr. R.' s superior means of information on the Conti- net, this important occurrence was known lo him nearly forty eight hours before it was in the posses- sion of any otfier person in this country. He did not fail to avail himself of every advantage which ibis priority of intelligence presented. His agents went into the market, and sold prodigious quantities of stock The consternation was dreadful! Everyone suspected danger, none knew where to look for it. The panic was epidemic ? On Ihe disclosure of the fact, the general cry was sauve qui peut ; and the object of our present article bore off an immense sum, gained by bis success on this great and extra- ordinary occasion. Mr. Rothschild, thus fortified in wealth, and en. joying at this time tbe almost exclusive means of acquiring tin- first intelligence from the Continent, soon established for himself a reputation and import, artce, the maturity of which can scarcely be said to have been accomplished at the present moment. He availed himself, in conjunction with bis brothers ( who are. also great capitalists on the Continent), of the opportunity of administering to the wants of tbe King of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia, tbe Kings of Naples and Spain, the Republic of Colombia, and other States, who negociated loans on terms highly profitable to liiui; and which have, with ihe advan- tages of the courses of exchange, and other incidental benefits, realized immense sums in addition to his fortunate speculations in British Stock. But the great coup de main of Mr. R. consisted in his out- genera IIing tbe Gallic Financiers in the recent French Loan. In thai transaction he is supposed to have cleared upwards of £ 100,000 by the commission alone, independent of tbe advantages of tbe courses of Exchange! By the fortuitous occurrence of favourable circum- stances, Mr R. lias been enabled to amass greater wealth than any man that ever existed iu England. It would be impossible for others to estimate bis property, when Mr. R. has declared that he could not do it himself. It. has been asserted, however, that lie can command upwards of Fifteen Millions sterling atony time, if required!

FIINERAL OF THE LATE HILLT OP FARNHAM! — The funeral of this lamented Nobleman, took place at Cavah church, on the 20th lilt. The great body of the inhabitants of the county as- sembled 011 the melancholy occasion. Numbers went to meet the hearse near the bounds of ihe comity, a distance of 18 or 20 miles from the place of interment; and such was tbe vast'muliit'ude of persons of all ranks, who attended his remains to the grave, that the funeral procession, though occupying a considerable space in breadth; ex tended to a length of upwards of thre'e miles'. It was impossible to supply more than a eompara. tively small portion of the assemblage with scarfs and hatbands, though more than 1,500' were dis- tributed. The Lord Bishop of the diocese, attend- ed by upwards of thirty of the clergy in their riibes, met the coffin on its entrance into the town, and conducted it to the church ; aud the remains of the deceased Nobleman were conveyed to interment in the family vault with every honour due to his rank. The late Nobleman formed an attachment in early life, to Grace, daughter and heiress of Thomas Cuffe, Esq of CuflVs Grange, in the county of Kilkenny, and, by her mother, aibranch of the noble family of the Herberts, of Powis. He was married iu 1784 to the object of his choice, with whom he lived in virtuous and happy union for nearly 40 years.

Nineteen of them were Scotchmen, thirty seven from England and Wales, twenty- six from Ireland, ten from the West Indies, and one from America! A paragraph appeared in several of the Provin- cial Papers, stating that Mr. Bedford, of Leomin- ster, wrote wilb a pen the following, within the compass of a Penny Piece, viz :-— The Lord'i Praver, Ihe Creed, the Ten Commandments, and the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th Collects after Trinity, & c.

A LONDON GHOST — In 1704, a gentleman, fo all appearance, of large fortune, took furnished lodg- ings in Soho- sqnare. After lie had resided there some weeks he lost his brother, who bad lived at Hampstead, and who particularly desired to be in- ferred in the family vault at Westminster Abbey. The gentleman requested bis landlord lo permit lii'm to bring the corpse of his brother to llis. lodgings, aud to mak, e arrangements for the funeral. The landlord' complied. Tbe body, in a white shroud, was brought; iu a very handsome coffin, and placed in the dining- room. Yhe funeral was to take place next day, and the lodger and his servants went out In make prepa- rations for the solemnity. He stayed out late; liu( this was not uncommon. The landlord and family retired to bed, as usual, at twelve o'clock. One maid servant was left up to let liini in, and boil some water, which he desired might be ready for tea 011 his l; elurn. Tbe girl was silling al! aloue in the kitchen, when a tail fig 11 re entered, and sealed itself in a cliair opposite to her. . The maid, by no means the most timid of her sex, Was yet terrified beyond; expression, lonely as she was, at this unexpected appariliun. Uttering a lond scream, she flew like an arrow to tbe chamber of her master and mistress. Scarcely had sheavyiikened them, and communicated" some portion of the fright with which she was over- whelmed, when the spectre, in a shroud, with a face, of dratli- like paleness, sat down in a chyir in, tbe bed- room, without their observing. how ii entered. The worst was,, this chair stood by the door of the bed- chamber, so that not a'creature could get awsnf without pnssiiijjt'lnse to the apparition, which rolled'" its glaring eyes so frightfully, and so hideously dis- torted its features, that lliey could not bear to look at it. The master and mistress crept under the bed-, clothes, covered with profuse perspiration, while tbe maid sunk nearly insensible by the bed. At the same fhne 1 fie w hole bouse seemed iu an uproar ; for " hough they had covered themselves over head aud ears, they could hear the incessant noise and clatter, which increased iheir terror. At length all became perfectly still. The landlord ventured to raise bis head, and to steal a glance at tbe chair; but, the ghost was gone ! Sober reason resumed its poweiv The poor girl was brought to herself after a good deal of shaking. They plucked up courage to quit the bed- room, and commence an examination of the house, which they expected to find in great disorder. Tbe whole house had been stripped by artful thieves, and the gentleman had decamped without paying-' for his lodging. He was no other than an accom- plice of the notorious Chambers, executed atTvbniii. iu 1706; and the supposed corpse was the arch rugne himself, who tHid whitened his hands aud face with chalk, and merely counterfeited death. At midnight he quitted the coffin, and appealed to Ihe maid in the kitchen. When she flew up. stairs, he sntfly followed her, and, sealed at the d ior nf tlie chamber, acted as a sentinel, so that bis industrious [> accomplices were enabled to plunder the house without molestation. On Saturday week as the Hero Birmingham and' 8 Bristol Coach, when distant about a mile from Cheltenham, was passing a load of hay the hinder seat came in contact with a projecting truss or the binding rope, and instantly separated the seat, whereon were sitting a'lady and gentleman, from ( the coach.

AERONAUTIC DISAPPOINTMENT.— AN im- mense number of persons were attracted 011 Monday week to the White Conduil House, Pentonville, in the expectation of witnessing the ascent uf Mr,' Graham iu a balloon nearly twice as large as ar. y that has ever heen brought before the public, of which some idea may be formed, when it is. . known that it consumed upwards of 1000 yards ot* [. stuff, required 250,000 gallons of gas lo" fill it, and measured forty feet iu diameter when filled. It occ'upfed a ring tif considerable size ill Ihe gar- dens of White Conduit House, the remaining por- tion of which was appropriated to- the accommo- dation of ibe visitors, who flocked iu to the number of about 5 or at the price of 3s. 6( 1. per head. Three o'clock had been named as tbe probable hour of departure; but the gas, which was'sup- plied from the nearest main- pipe of the Gas Com- pany, had nef by that time inflated more than one third of the balloon. The inflation commenced'at ten o'clock, and proceeded so leisurely thai by six o'clock little more than half Ihe work bad been done. The covering was found inadequate to prevent the' gas from escaping in small quantities, and" the rain which fell during the daye added so much 10 the natural weight of the canvas, that all hopes of the aeronaut's ascending were by that hori: aban- doned. A vast multitude, to the number of at least 70,000 persons had blockaded the premises from an early period of the day, and occupied al!; the fields and open spaces of the neighbourhood f and it is believed it was not wholly to disappoint these that the resolution was taken to cut away the holdfasts and send the balloon to float in the air. This yvas actually done at six o'clock. A11 expression of discontent from the inhabitants of the gardens accompanied the rise of the balloon; a- call vvas made for Mr. Graham, which was not answered by that gentleman's appearance. The whole affair was unceremoniously designated as a swindling transaction, and various threats were made in the event of the money paid for entrance not being returned. The populace, who for some time had evinced a marl ed spirit of discontent, now commenced a serious attack on that part of the premises which is fenced off to the north witlr strong wooden paling, and protected from trespass by a high mound, and a dry ditch on the outside; and in the course of an hour, the crowd succeeded in levelling upwards of 150 yards of Ihe paling; the glass panes of a beautiful sum ; er- house, to the number of upwards of 130, were entirely smashed; and numerous trees Were torn up by the roots. Mr, Graham owes his personal safety to the promptitude of the cook belonging to the Tavern, who placed him in a situation of security until the fury of the disappointed was over.
