Biamknawase, Autruse 27. —Very little grain remains on the ground in the neighbourhood of this town, and a few more fine days will finifh the gathering of a moll abundant and full-grown bar veft, and in a feafon as aufpicious for the purpofe as ever was witnelfed. In moft places throughout the country, where there are barracks, or where foldiers have continued long enough in quarterr, the Commander in Chief his permitted them to affift in colleting the ham., under certain re ftriaions from their own olliteno—This indulgence is particularly well timed* aethe Supplementary Militia has juft been called front the labouring part of the community ; and the polite accommodation farmers have met with whe hive applied to our barracks for hands, is as prlik-worthy in the Com manding Officer as the fervice of the men has been ufeful to the country. CANTIIIIIIILIr, AUGUST 27. —The harvell is now nearly got in throughout the country ; and if that abundance, which the moll favoura ble feafon that ever was witnefed has contributed to produce, is not univerfally felt by the public, the fault mutt ref with that fyllern of land monopoly which pre vails in this part of the country to a moft alarm ing extent. To give tome idea of the nature of this prattice, it is fufficient to Rate, among numberlefs inftances, that there is one man in this city, who is the leffee of about a dozes farms, each of which ulkd for merly tc maintain in comfort and independence a • fubftantial yeoman and his foray ; and that ewtry • one of thefe farms is managed by a deputy; car fer vant, who lives in a half ruined farm-honk, where there are no cows, and where he Call feed neither pigs nor poultry. This is not all—the wages which thefe poor men (who were once farmers themfelves) receive, is fo trifling, that they can have no intereft i.t increafing the produelivenefs of the land they are employed on ; by which means, although the Gentleman farmer who lives at a diflance may fuftain no lots, the public mull feel great injury from that decreafe in the produce of the land, which mull always happen when the cul tivators derive no profit except the wages of la bourers. Many fields of wheat have been choaked up with weeds from a want of perfost to clear the ground of them. Formerly the lons of the far- ; mers ufed to perform this bufinefs. Noaw ;cm, Auc UST A.—The wheat and barley harveft in Norfolk and moft of the neighbouring counties is nearly finifhed, in a manner highly be neficial to the farmer, and confequently to theprb hr. Paoviot sex has thus far been kind and bounti ful, and there is no doubt, from the abundant crops of every kind, that bread coin will thortly be at a reafonable price : but it is to be hoped the pub lic will not too foon lofe fight of that fyllem of (eco nomy Neceffity alone has taught us, but Rill reibrt to the ufe of beneficial fubftitutes, particularly potato z, which we expctt will icon be fold at prices confiderably lower than at prefent. Late on Thurfday evening, Thomas Lovett was brought to Bow.ftreet, charged by WILLIAM Tav• Loa, Efq. proprietor of the Opera Houfe, with potting up bills without the Printer's name on, them, which bills contained matters injurious to him. Mr. Taylor Rated, that about 1 2 o'clock on Thurfday,he was in Market•lanc, at. James's, when he obferved the prifoner polling up a bill at the corner of the lane, which was headed with very large, letters, " Opera Houfe Creditors." This induced him to read the bill, and finding the fub ftance was aimed againft him, and there being no Printer's name to the bill, he feized the prifoner and the bills he had about him. The charge being proved, the Magiftrates con vifted him in the penalty of 201. which he not be ing able to pay, theyfentenced him to threemonths imprifonment.—This is the &It conviftion under the Aft of Parliament. Wednefday morning Arts Fitzgerald, otherwife Barry, was brought before the fitting Magiftrates at Hatton Garden, oa a warrant obtained againft her by Counfellor A. of the Temple, for riotous behaviour at his Chambers. It appeared by the evidence of Mr. A's clerk, that in the abfence of his mailer, this woman burft into the chambers, and laid dawn a child, which he under(lood to have been Come time fine „Awed a bit muffler ; that he reprefented to her he could not let the child flay, having had pofitive orders to the contrary.— Upon his taking out the child, the woman began to break the windows aad furniture and make a noife, and went into the court and collected toge ther a great mob of reople.—This evidence was corroborated by Courfellor R. and others. Ann Fitzgerald, the woman, made a long and abufive harangue, refle&ing upon Mr. A. but ad mitted the riot ; faid that (he wanted (hoes for the child ; that the was only allowed half-a-crown a week to maintain it, which was not enough ; that Mr. A. ought to give more. It was to get him to provide better for the child that the went near him. The Magiftrate obferved, that if learned gentle men would take liberties with ladies, ladies would in return take liberties with them; bur at the fame time told the woman fhe had aged very impro perly; advifed her to take the child to the parifh ; with affurances that, if ever the committed any other outrage, (be fhould be feverely puni(ked. As sa v tr.—Philip Roberts, Efq. was charged be fore the fitting Magiftrate at Marlborough-ftreet, with affaulting Mr. Henry Collins, and alfo with an attempt to enter his houfe forcibly and agaialt his inclination. Mr. Collins Rated, that he reticle(' in Norton ftreet, Fitzroy-fquare, and, for a length of time, had been confiderably annoyed by the conduCt of Mr. Roberts, who had accidentally met his daugh ter at the houfe of Governor Franklin. From that moment Mr. Roberts bad paid his addreffes to his daughter, much againft his inclination,and had fine attempted to run away with her ; that he had remonftrated with Mr. Roberts 9p the impropriety of his conduit, and had, three weeks fince, been into Warwickfhire to acquaint his family with his milbehavour, who had done every thing in their power that was becoming them to do ; that he laD week received two anonymous letters, defiring him to be upon his guard, as Mr. Roberts intended getting into his hook, with the view of carrying off his daughter : going home on Thurfday tles i t i; he perceived a perfon !landing near hisdoor, he furpeCted to be Mr. Roberts; but his eye-tight being defalive, he walked towards him, when he took to his heels and run away. Mr. Collins followed• in the direCtion this perfon had taken, and met Mr. Roberts in Titchfiehl-ftreet. A scuf fle enfued, and they were both taken to the watch houfe, mutuallharging each other. Mr. Col lins laid, Mr. Robertslt frequently challenged him when they met in the arms Mr. Robetts denied linking Mr:Collins, and the watchman fupported this part of his evidence. He admitted, that nine months ago, he offered to give Mr. Collins fatis ration, and lamented that the Lady's name hnd been brought up. The Magiftrate raid, there was nothing he could take cognitance of but the violation of the peace, or the proteClion of the perfon of Mr. Collins, if be could prove liimfelf in danger : he could not tie the legs of the Gentleman, nor be ruppofed to take into cullody the inclinations of the Lady. From the evidence before him, it appeared that Mr. Collins had committed the affault, and as to the challenge, that was of too long (landing to be made the fubjea of inquiry now. He therefore felt himfelf bound to difcharge Mr. Roberts, ad viling him not to moleft Mr. Collins, nor ant:tape to enter his dwelling-boo& without permiffion, as it might be attended with very unpleafant conk quences. Mr. Roberts raid be thould not, and retrrect.
