AwituutirußAL REPORT Fon orronrn. Harvest, in the most northern and backward counties, was at its height when the late rains commenced, which have to a considerable degree, retarded its completion ; that, however, ;nay nc espeeied to take plsee iii the coin se of the present now h. Wheat iu those districts will not reach an average crop, Moil will be an irregular sample. Barley is more abundant ; lint a considerable part of the oats will be rut unripe. Baldry and oats generally are very large and productive; the quality of tne barley fine upon the best soils. Beaus, and particularly grey pease, are abundant in the south, and scarcely halt a t top in many parts of the north. Wheat on the best soils, and, as it has generally happened, where it was complained or as too thin planted in the spring, has fully equalled those, which are called yielding years; the ears have been remark aaly large, and eighty tire grains have been blond in an car; thy double of an average smother. The estrione fineness of ts;' September has been of inexpressible benefit on all hands, sad parricidal ly with respect to wheat, which was too hastily put tii..;e•lier, and which the appiehensions of the farmers in dimes: ;ii.sin to open and spread. Potatoes on middling lands are the lawst crop ever known ; on the richest, it is said, they have full rather too much to haulm. Did the wheat crop equal that of the potatoe, there can be no doubt that, conjointly, they would equal a two years' consump tion for the poputation or this country. L tie letters from the Continent express great douLts of the extent of their earn crops, as given in the public prints; and the exaggera tions is France are attributed to the &stators of the press.-- The grown and mildewed w lit at in the north, and some parts of the midland districts, will detach considerably front the a4gregate quantity and quality of the crop. nib, it is said, wad not he notch, or spoedily educed in price; the stocks being low, in consequence of the failure of the barley crop or last year. rum ps, colesred, lama math, both grass and glover, are in the utmost abundance; in cansequence store stock has advanced in price, and greater stocks put to feed than during the last two seasons. Hops excellent iii quality, and said to approach one fifth of an average. Wool oh both sorts a brisk bade, and !Jock oa hand. The early sown wheats in Wilts, Gloucestershire, and elsewhere, %soy forward and litxuriatit : wheat arming in au parts very forwaid, in others not yet ennimeneeil, from the lateness of the harvest. Good horses of ail kinds have brought team kiddy high prices throughout the year. A general surplus of harvest labourers, and wages too low ; many could not find employ. Fewer com plaints from the vomits y than in any ciao of the last two years; but a general opinion that, under the present burden of taxation, farming cannot be carried WI at less than thc pre sent prices. OLD BAILEY, SATURDAY. T. Dalton and T.

Greenfield street, Whitechapel, deposed, that on the night of Tuesday, the 14th of the. last, mite was proceeding lennewarde through White.chatiel. and at the end of Mack Lion -court, he was seized by the arms and held down by Datum, while another man, whom he believed to he Rule, made a snatch at his chain. The chain wa, broken, and the watch remained in the lid). The prisoners rim away with the chain and gold seal. Prosecutor could positively swear to the person of Dalton, but was not certaita as to that of Rule. The witness was then ordered by the learned Judge to stand down, without having nekid the prisoner Dalton, whether lie would ask any questions of the prosecutor. Dalton seemed notch affected, and said. he plainly perceived that his life was about to be sworn away without being alloweel to vindicate hinieelf. He wished to put a few ques tions to the prosecutor, but to was even denied that cmmon.privi lege. The witness was itumediate:y called back, but the }meaner put no material questions to lain. John Grillithe. a police officer of Lambeth-street, proved the apprehension of Dalton, in Black Lion-court. He Val taken into custody in consequence of the description given of his person by the prosecutor. Another Police officer proved the apprehension of the prisoner Rule. Delten, being called upon for hie defence, earnestly professed his innncenee, and being aeltiel whether he had any witness to call, re plied, Celt he could have called men) , witiwe es to prove his innocence. and wholeould prove that he was at home in toed and asleep nt the time of the robbery. bat he thought it would have been of nn use, since he had already been convicted of an offence similar to the ptesent. . Three or four witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner Rule a good diameter. The Jure, with little hesitation, found Thom s Dalton Guilty, but acqeitted Thou tas Rule of the charge.

The affairs between Spain and Portugal lately wore a formidable aspect, and threatened to throw the whole of Europe into combustion. The parties manifested their hostile dispositions, but Money, " the sinews of war," was wanting. Money is not only the sinews of war, but the promoter of happiness, and the dispenser of pleasure ; and it must afliml the Public great satis faction to learn that a very considerable sum will be distributed among them Next Friday, when the Lot tery commences - drawing. Those who intend to par take of the Six l'rizes of £20,000, will do well to ap ply in time at the offices of G. Carol, the Contractor, 7, Cornhill, and 26, Oxford Street. Our venerable Sovereign entered the 58th year of his reign on Saturday week; a select party was invited by her Majesty on the occasion, at Windsor Castle; the Prince Regent was present ‘ , His Majesty's health continues good, his appetite re mains unimpaired, and his sleep sound and uninterrupt ed. Seven years have elapsed yesterday since his Ma esty last appeared in public. Her Majesty will set off for Bath on Monday morn ing. General Taylor qnitted town on Friday. We understand, that on an application being made to know in what manner her Majesty would be pleased to be welcomed into Bath, it was intimated, that as the Queen would travel the whole journey on the same day, it would be gratifying to her, that no ceremonious pro cession should take. place ; hut that her Majesty's car riage might pass to her residence as quietly and unob a.ructedly as the nature of circumstances would allow. . t Tbe German Journalists, emulating the san.arity of certain of their brethren here, have revived their idle prosing about an assemblage of the great ai iied powers. It is no longer at Mentz, or Frankfurt, or Coblentz. or Cologne, or Carlsbad where this porten tous assemblage is to take place, but at Spa, the po litical virtues of whove waters are no doubt superior to those of Carlsbad. Recent accounts of the trade in the United States for English manufactures are very good : sales of Man chester cotton goods were making at a very handsome profit, The crops of all descriptions of grain were abundant. Flour was at nine dollars the barrel ; but the cotton crops had suffered so much ,tom the land floods, that it was certain not a third of an average crop would he raised. Money was very abundant in all parts of the United States. Our report of the arrival of the Duke of Wellington in England appears to bcpremature. We derived the intelligence from au Evening paper of Saturday. Czensa . GEoucus.--There has been published at Augsburgh, an official correction of the idle rumour •lately circulated, concerning an alleged misunderstand ing between the Courts of St Petershurgh anti of Tur key. The chief points insisted on are:--Ist. That the Ottoman Government could have taken no part in tl.e execution of Czerny ieorge.s, since it took place a fiw hours after he entered the Turkish territory. 2d. That the Emperor of Russia, on the first intimation of the design of Czerny Georges to pass the Russian frontier, withdrew the protection hitherto conditionatly granted him, and revoked the honours which his Majesty had etanimmd upon him. id. That Baron Stroganoff made no representations whatever to the Ottoman Porte, on the subject of this Servian leader. 4th. That the corps of Benningsen was never an army of uliservation, and hail received no reinforcements. sth. That the line of demarkation is nearly settled between the two Imperial Courts, " so that the corps of Turkish troops disciplined in the European fashion," will find no oc cupation for the present. The disputes said to exist between England and Turkey arc declared to be equally imaginary. We are enabled to say, that the Committee of Nlanttge ment of Drury-lune Theatre, in furtherance of their praiseworthy design, to aid the widow and family of their late respected Manager, have granted the use of the house Ibr a public pet-tin-man ', on Friday next In this perti•rmanee will be included the great talent of both Theatres.
