GRIVIT, who is late• ly arrived from New South Wales, of the flourifh ing (late of that Colony. He left Port Jackfon in November laft, when the crops were very luxu riant and beginning to be cut down, without having fuffered that year from the floods of tale Hawkeibury. Governor KING had opened a commun'cation with Otaheite for the purpofe of fupplying the Colony with pork, in which he had been fingular ly fuccefsful-.His Majefty's armed (hip PORPOISt having made one trip, and the Not FOLK brig hay :ng failed on the fame employ previous to Mr. GRANT'S leaving Sydney. The moft friendly undcrftanding exifts between the natives of Otaheite and the fettlement of New South Wales. We are happy to hear that the lat ter country is no longer in want of a (topic com modity, the article of Coals, of an excellent kind, being found in abundance in Hunter's River, to gether with plenty of Wood, well qualified for the mailing of (hipping. Mr. GRANT made his pot tage to the Cape of Good Hope, round Cape Horn, ia the brig Anna Jofepha, laden with (pars for malls, and coals, which latter fold immediately at the Cape at 35 Rix Dollars per ton (nearly 61. fterling). The above veffcl's top-malls, top-gal. lint-malts, and yards, were of the wood cut in Hunter's River, and anfwered remarkably well. Mr. GRANT had thus an opportunity of being an eye witncfx of its quality ; and that was more par ticularly proved from the very heavy weather al ways met with in thole feat. Some fpecimens of this wood he has brought with him. Governor KING had formed a lmall fettlement at Hunter's River, for the purpofe of working the coal which is of the fame nature with that of New cafile. Mr. GRANT entered this River in the Lady Nel fon, in order to obtain the furvey of it. He pene trated in his boats nearly 70 miles up the'fame, ac companied by Lieut.-Col. PATTERSON, without being able, at that time, to difcover its fource.—A wood refembling Flack bad alfo been found. Mr. CRAM?. in his paflage from England to Port Jackfun, in the Lady Nelfon, a vefla of only 63 tons burthen, with three Hiding keels, was the firft that paired f trough the Straits which fepar* ted Van-Dieman's Land from New Holland, aria failed along a great extent of coati to the weft ward of any land before feen by thole who had vifited that country, going into no higher latitude than 39.30. South, and obferves, that the South Cape of New Holland lies in 39. 2. South. He found the lhore he failed along bold, with very deep water, wherever he attempted to land; and, in general, he had, with a very moderate Offing, from so to 45, and 3o fathoms water, fine fand, and fometimes (hells. By order of Governor Km:, he returned into thofe &eights, and obtained the furvey of the coaft from Wilfon's Promontory to Weftern Pori, with the furvey of that harbour, which is well (Inhered, and capable of containing many fail of [hipping.— There is abundance of wood eafily to be got, and plenty of mater ; though the latter is rather dif ficult to be procured, on account of the diftance, and from feveral (boa!, lying in the way, which render it neceffary to take advantage of tide. Mr. GRANT gi►es a very favourable report of that part of the country. The different furveys obtained in the Lady Nelfon were executed ,by Enllgn Batt- ISILIAN, of the New South Wales Corps, who accompanied him for that purport. CORN MARKTS.

According to the treaty lately entered into with his Highnefs the Peifhwa, the !bong Mahratta Ila tion at the entrance of the town of Ballafore has been abolifhed. From Zag Ghaut to Shoontni reka there were twelve Chokies ; thefe are alfo to be removed. In one of BURNS'S Convivial Meetings, at a fa vourite public houfe in Manchlin, where the land lord, John Dow, who was called " a wet dog," was one of the party, he was requefted to write the landlcrd's Epitaph; when BuRNs wrote extempore upon a pane of glafs the following : - .

An elderly Lady at Brighton, remarkable for her attachment to the canine race, a few days ago, on obferving fymptoms of difeafe in one of her old favourites, which had been her companion for the laft twenty years of her life, difpatched one of her fervants for an Apothecary. The dog, in the in terim, was enveloped in flannel, and carefully laid on one of the belt beds. Or, the arrival of the Apothecary, fuch medicines as were deemed ne celfary were immediately adminiflercd ; but all would not do, for poor PhilGs the next morning breathed her laft. The firft violence of grief on the melancholy occafion having fubfided, an Un dertaker was called in ; and the dead animal, dur ing the three following days, flirowded, and de corated with flowers, in a handfome coffin, was ex pofed to the numerous vifits of the Lady's friends, and at length, with great funeral parade, interred in a garden, but a moderate dillance from the !inure, where a (tone, with the following infcrip. tion, is eretied over the grave : " Here lies poor PluTi,, dead and cold, Lamented in her death ; Her Mittrefs dear filed many a tear, When the religed her breath. For twenty years the iltipp'd and play'd, • • And frolick'd like a Limb; Upon her knees (he oft flpt tea, From her Karel,' lily hand." Tuefday morning, about ten o'clock, the work (hop of Mr. HUNTER, coachmaker, in Little Port land-(beet, Oxford•market, ffiddenly gave way, and, in its fall, the crafh was fo loud as to be heard at a confiderable diflance. Fortunately no perfon was in the inlide ; but feveral carriages, which flood there for Pale or repair, have received confi derable damage. The building, we hear, had been ercUed but a fhort time. Tuefday morning between two and three o'clock, a ferions affray took place in Angel -court, Grub 'freer, between a party of Irith, which proceeded from jealoufy and drunkennefs. One woman, far advanced in pregnancy, was beat down and trampled on by another woman, and would in all likelihood have been murdered, but for the inter. potition of the patrole, who took the woman un der' their proteelion, and conveyed her to her lodgings, where the lies in a dangerous Rate-- The oft-ding panics abkoadcd.

In the courfe of this ride,the working of the drill ploughs,and other implements in the operation of turnip lowing, was furveyed. A patty then went to view the large irrigated meadow belonging to Mr. REEVE, of Weighton, the ingenious method of which they highly approved.—The company then repaired to the Shearing Barn, where Mr. COKE'S men were at work, clipping his South-down and Leicclter flocks. Fourteen pens, containing one South down, and two Leicefter Theaves in each, were numerically drawn to be Bleared by as many can. didates belonging to the \Velem Dißriel of Nor. folk, for five prizes, from five guineas down to one guinea, to be g;ven to the men who fhould clip their refpeetive lots in the bell manner, and in the ftrifteft time.

Several bets were won and 101 l on the comparative weights.— They next examined fome Lincoln Hoggets, bought by Mr. CHAPLIN, and weighed their fleeces, the prime one of which turned Is pounds. At noon the company infpeffed a wheelbarrow drill, for a Jingle row, of ingenious conftrultion ; after which the South Down Taps were lett for the enfuing feafon by lottery, which filled rapidly, and fome of them were thus drawn at 4o guineas each.—At this day's dinner, full zso agricultural guefts partook of the hofpitable board - of Holk ham.
