WILLIAM FENNING. Sworn, at the Mansion-House of the City of London, this Second Day of August, 1815. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR JULY. The Wheat harvest in the eastern district, has commenced much earlier than has been recollected for many years past, and with a pros pect of a large average crop; the ear is found generally full set to teh end, which, for many seasons past, has not been the case; the produce is expected to prove abundant, more from this, than from the appear ance of straw, which, in many parts, is light on the ground. Samples of new wheat have already been shewn at Mark lane, the quality of which was deemed tine. The Barleys are likely to turn out a full crop, and so are Beans end Pease. Oats arc thin on light lands, but in the Fens. should the weather continue fine, will probably give as large a produce ■s ever was known from those low lands. The Rye crop has proved but a light one. Potatoes have fallen off considerably on light soils from the want of rain. Clovers shut out for seed, have suffered from the same cause, except on nusist lands. Turi.ips, except those early sown, have in musts districts planted partially, so that a general crop is not to be looked for. Hops are going off even in the Kent and Sussex grounds, where they promised fairly last month, the honey dew increasing in them daily. En Worcester and Herefordshire they do not look to pick one hundred weight per acre. The Cyder .countries have no fruit. The meat markets are lower. Smithfield has had a large supply of all kinds through the month. Live Stock, both Sheep and cattle, are further reduced in price. Large droves of Scotch and Irish beasts have been taken back, from the principal fairs it, the midland countries unsold. The Noel markets continue dull, at hist month's prices. TO THE EDITOR.

FUNERAL OF F.LIZA FENNING. The last ceremony respecting this unfortunate malefretor took place on Monday afternoon. The procession began to move from the home in Eagle-street, about halt' past three o'clock. It was preceded by about a dozen peace officers ; next came the under taker, immediately followed by the hotly of the deceast'd. The pall was supported by six young females dre-sed it) ss lii!e ; then followed eight persons as mourners, led by Cie pat 4-.. ts of the unfortunate girl.--These were succeeded by several lo 'laced per sons, two and two; and the whole was closed by a posse peace officers. The whole proceeded in the most regular mann , 1, until jt reached the burying ground of St. George the Martyr, sln le the body was deposited. The number of persons assembled to and about the church yard could not be much less 10,000. Not the slightest accident occurred. A young man, a livery servant in the mob, who had spoken disrepecifidly of the deceased, was rather roughly handled by the populace. The house of Mr. Turner, in Chan. eery Lane, her late master, has since our last been continually bent by assemblages of the lower orders, who consider her to have been innocent, and it is only by tle rigorous interposition of the police, that disorders have been prevented. ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES. A most. mtt ANCHOLV ACCMENT.—On Tuesday evening Mr. Byrne, • respectable tradesman residing in Green-Street. Leicesrer-square, went out about six o'clock with his wife and child in a one-horse chaise, in tending to take an airing round Putney and Fulham, and to return again in the evening; but after he passed over Putney-Bridge, the horse startled at some object, and ran off in a most furh.us manner. Mr. B. attempted to stop him in vain, but unfortunately the reins broke, and he then became quite unmanageable. The consequence %sat., that the whole family were thrown out with such violence, that Mr. B. only sur vived the shock until Wednesday morning, when he expired. His %life and child providentially escaped with only some slight bruises, but ti cy are inconaulcable for his loss. _ _ A few days since, as T. Goodlake, Esq. of Benham, near Wantage, Berke, was travelling from his seat to the latter place, his gig was unit r tunately overturned, by which accidant his thigh was br iken, and he was otherwise an much bruised, that we are sorry to say but fang hopes are entertained of his recovery. A melancholy, and we fear a fatal accident, happened at Halifax, um Tuesday night last Lr consequence of an intimation communicated by an anonymous letter, Mr. John Hodgson, the owner of tho Four Milk at that place. determined to watch the mills on Monday night. and for that purpose engaged Mr. Win. Cartmeal, the deputy constable aul John Brearley, the beanie of Halifax, to assist him in that duty. Some time after midnight, the persons stationed in the mill heard oce of the doors unlocked, and bad reason to suppose that rubbers were employed in filling their sucks; but owing to a %ant of attention fc the proposed signal, the depredators were sufhered to escape without detection, and %%Wino even being aware that any body but thembel‘f were in the mill. On the billowing night, Carttneal, Brearlty, at.mt two of Mr. Hodgson's Men, were again tutioued in the trill; die t%L. .••••••010 • • • -se ___ Ic7 •:.
