CORN-MARKETS. _ _~.-- With pleafure we learn that the Corn-Trade feems to be taking the fame turn in the other great if.arkets as well as in London. The following is the hate of Bury St. Edmund's yeaerday : " Bury St. Edmund's, July 22, 1801. 44 A great redation in the prices of every defcrip. tion of Corn took place in our markets this day : Wheats are about 15s. per qt/arter cheaper that' l a ft week: other grain in proportion. The prices were :-- Wheat, 555. to 78s. per Qarter. Oats, 13s. to 18s. per Quarter. Barley, 355. per Quarter. s.

A proftifion of the finch fruits were placed upon the tables in octagons, confitting of pities, grapes, peaches, neCtarines, &c. &c. As early as twenty minutes before three o'clock, the dances recom menced, with an old Scotch dance, called The Bann, introduced by her Grace for the firft time In London; it afforded much amufement from the fpirited manner in which it was kept up; inilead of forming the circle with bands; it is done by laying hold of coats and tails ; many fcenes, highly comic, took place, which threw the company into fucli univerfal good humour, that they kept it up till fix in the morning. Reels and ftrathfpeys concluded the fcene. _ The Duchefs of GORDON was agreeably furprifed at the number of her vifitors, near three hundred being prefent; among whom were many French Ladies.

But little news, worth relating, has tranfpired (ince my laft to you, by the Jupiter, of Briftol. . - Our crops of Sugar promife the greatcfl abun dance. Nor does our Coffee and Cotton fail ; but the immenfe quadtity of Coffee, row imported from the free ports of St. Domingo, would give cargoes to thirty more fail of !hipping, it' we had them. We have no more fear of any attack from Hif paniola; and from good authority we know, that General TOUSAINT La uveityuts !has declared moll pofitively, that he is determined not to fuffer any flrong naval force, belonging to the French Re public, to enter his harbours. The laft accounts we received, relative to this Governor General, Rate, his having arrived at Cape Francois the t indant, from the city of St. Domingo, after having organized and Farri. foned, with Black Troops, all that part of the iftand which originally belonged to the Spaniards. Several engineers are now employed by him, in fortifying the different ports, at the call end of the ;Rand ; and at Port Plata, they have thrown up a long range of battery, and mounted all the guns of the Engin frigate TARTAR, wrecked there in 1 795. Naval intelligence has become more dull here than formerly, as the prizes do not come in ciu to fo frequently as they ufed to do. The only ones worth mentioning have been captured by the fri gates ACAS ro, Avoi.i.o, and the BOURDILAI s. Accounts received this morning, from Porte, Ri co, Rate, that the Marine frigate ' Capt. Manos t has made a valuable capture off that Wand. The fame letter informs us, that la BOURDELAIS frigate, Captain THOMAS MANDY, on the 4th intl. futlained a long and gallant aetion with two forts, of great force, under which a Spanilh Chip of :o guns had run for protalion. The veffel and bat teries were demolifhed by la BOURDELAIS, but not until the had fuffered very confiderably, hav ing all her malts, yards, and fails fhot to pieces.— Happily, not a man on board received the fmalleft injury., She has been abfent now fourteen weeks, which makes us look for her arrival widi momen tary expedation. The crew of the Lic ERE hoop of war are nearly all arrived from Carthagena, and we are happy to find that the Spaniards treated them with huma- nity and attention,on theirlanding from thipwreck. Admiral Pots, with the remainder of the Baltic fleet, confining of twelve fhips of the Line, and a proportionate number of frigate' and other force, has failed round by the North to prom& Ireland, or to reinforce the fleet off Breit harbour. Accouts are received from Admiral Pots, the Commander of the Briti(h fleet in the Baltic, that permitton had been folicited for Tome Danilh (hips to proceed to Copenhagen for repairs, with which requett he had complied. His Majetty's hips GLATTON and ARDENT arc ordered to be fitted for floating batteries. His Majefty's 'hips POLYPHEMUS and DART lately pallid throu,qh the Great Bell in the Baltic, in orderesadly toarcertain the (late of that patrage. Letters have lately been received from Surat, flatingthatMr.BADCOCx,thechiefofficerofthe fnow FRIINDIHIP, Captain NAfIER, for which the molt alarming apprehcnflor.s have exifted for a confi derable time, arrived fife with that veffel at Muf cat, on the Bth of February. It appears, that the parted the belt bower cable in Cochin Roads, on the la of January, and ttood out to lea in a moll dreadful tempett, and was driven lo far booth ward of the port, as to be unable to regain it. All her mails were cut away, and everything thrown over board to lighten the veffel ; and bad the not pro videntially reached Mufcat on the above day, un der jury malls, every foul on board mutt have pe rithed through ' hunger and want of water. The following account has been received by the late difpatch from Madras, in a letter dated the ith of February : Captain OSIORNI, of his Ma jetty's fhip ARROGANT, having received intelli gence that a fhip with a valuable cargo was at Ja pars, (a fea port in the ifland of Java), proceed. ed to that road, where fhe arrived on the la of December; but the fhoal water not permitting the ARROGANT to go in, (he was cut out by the boats and proved to be the Undernuning, a (hip of from aoo to Soo tons burthen, built at - Liverpool, Well found, and a prime bailer.

'We hope this circumftance will roufe the atten tion of the Grand Jundion Company to their true intereft, and that of the public, by affording a fup ply of that indifpenfible article to the Metropolis. It is underifood, that they are able to do this from their Canal at Paddington in an abundance, that would for ever render the inhabitants of London more fecure from a fimilar calamity, and add to their comforts by a more ample fupply for family purpofes. We throw out this hint from an ap prehenfion, that the Complny are not flifficiently alert on this fubjett, in which the public are fo materially interefted ; the eapence of which cannot be fuch as to create any well founded diffiJence, for it mull be amply compenfated by the confe quent revenue to the concern. The Ifland of Macalfar, near Amboyna and Banda, has of late been the particular objeft of the attention of government, an account of its be ing at all times capable of furnifhing an abundance orprovifions for our (hipping : it lying exaftly in the outward and homeward-bound track of the China fhips. One of the villains who robbed the Dublin Mail coach on the 4th of March laft, has been appre hended in the He of Wight. He had called in 'the 85th regiment quartered there, and was dif. covered and arrefted by his officer, in confequence of a very accurate defcription of his perfon fent over for that purpofe. HERTFORD AixszEs.—Tuerday Wm. Cox was indieted for wilfully and malicioufly fetting fire to a hovel of wheat, the property of James Hilton, of Walkern. The fad was clearly made out, and the previous and ru brequent conduit of the prifoner left no doubt on the minds of the Court that he had been aCluated in the commiffion of the aft by the molt inveterate hatred and malice againft the pro fecutor. The Jury pronounced him Guilty ; but in confideration of the extreme /offerings of his wife and children, who appeared in Court at the time, agonising every breall capable of feeling for diarefs, they ventured to recommend the prifoner to mercy. Mr. Juftice GRosS lamented that the crime of which the prifoner had been found guilty fhould be fo ftrongly marked with ingratitude and wic kednefs, as to render the humane fuggeftions of the Jury, and thofe of his own heart, fruitlefs and abor tive, as there was a duty which he owed to public jullice paramount to individual feeling, and which demanded the forfeited life of the prifoner ; a duty that compelled him inftantly topronounce the dread ful fentence the law had armed him with, which if he negledled, he laid, he (hould confider himfelf as acceltary to the crime the prifoner had commit ted. His Lordlhip then addreffed the prifoner as to the nature and magnitude of his offence, and to the extreme depravity and vicionfuels which had urged him to it : lamented that there flould be found a human being fo loft, fo inhuman to his fellow men, as wantonly and malicioufly to dcltroy the means of fufienance which PRov:DEricS had fo benignly blcffed us with for our fupport, efpecially at a time when the community were fuffering un der confiderable privations from the effeas of fea lons, which the country had not yet recovered— that it was a crime of the blackeft dye, from the punifhment of which the prifoner could enter tain not the fmalleft hopes; therefore conjured him. the (hurt time he had to live and breathe in this world, that he would employ that time in fervent ly praying for that mercy in another world, which the enormity of his offences had prevented him from receiving in this. Goodwin Th tirgond and Baldock Plate, for fleal. ing three quarters of Barley, the property of John Pryor; William Horton, for (leafing a quantity of iron, the property of Thomas Pickford ; and William Wife, William Thorby, and William Br i ant, for ftealing a trufs, containing two pieces of Irifh linen, the property of Thomas Watfon, were fevcrally found Guilty, and ordered for tranfpor tation. Jofeph Fryar was capitally indicted for break ing and entering the dwelling houfe of James Step• toe, at Rickmanfworth, and Itealing 4os. in (dyer, a guinea, half-a-guinea, and two feven (billing pieces in gold, and zos. worth of copper, but being unable either to prove the burglary, or to identify more than one of the (billings, the Jury found him guilty of flealing only to the value of tzd.
