N'eawirn, SM. 28.—We bad a full market on Sa turday, with a decline in price of both Wheat and Marley, of about 2s. per coomb from that day week, sad many samples remained: unsold. The show of cattle was not large. and prices continue low. There was a large supply of New Wheat at Lynn on Toes , day ; the greater part very damp and much grown, which sold at a reduction of 8 or 10s. per quarter from our prices of this day week.

EDINBURGH, San% 25.—There were bat few shear wrs at the West Port yesterday morning, and of these . but a small number were hired, at is. a day. All the fields in this district are cut down, and the grain for the most part safely housed. We have had a heavy shower of rain which lasted for about two hours this snorking. resur az.-. , -We know not to whom we are indebted fur the subjoined communication, and therefore should have refused it insertion. if it had not coincided with the result of our personal enquiries, awl in some rnea •sure our actual observation &EMMA) ER 21.-4 should be happy to announce to the public, through the medium of your paper, that the crop in this part of the country is now almost cut down, and will, in the tcrurse of next week, be secured from the depredations of an inclement sky. Daring the autumn there has been very little rain to prevent the reapers from being employed in the field. It has ripe:led in general equally, and we bare the satisfac tion to think, that as far as this district extends, there is a very fair averrg►e crop, equal in quality to any that ,s!e have bad for several years." . IN7 ERN EESSIIIRE.—In this part of the country, the crop was rather injured by the continued drouc•ht which succeeded the late (rests, and which in many varscs n•ithered without ripening the corn. The harvest •esperations are now nearly completed, having received .no interruption from the weather, which bas been obi .fortnly highly favourable. Kltxet.r.s•, SEPT. 22.—We have now bad nearly a fortnight of favourable Harvest Weather, without any interruption worth noticing; and we have reason to .think that the injney sustained by the cr iipsdoxing the .late rains was not to near the extent which the ■nea .t;iress of the moment had induced us to believe. The Wheat, we understand, has suffered most from stunt •tut still there is no danger of a general or serious de ficiecey.—(Li inder Journal.) Bennett's Bridge. Fair, on Wednesday, was well sup •piied with stock, but to our inquires the answer inva riably was, " a very had Fair."

The same depreciation marked every de• suription of stock, but the sales were sot numerous...— V/4d.) (7 toLow, Seri% 24.—1 t is with great pleasure that tie observe such a change in the weather as to warrant an expectation that we shall have a reduction in the , markets, from the very best rause, viz. a suffioiency of good corn to insure a supply at a fair price.—(Ccre low Post.) Coat:, SEPT. 22.—N0 other apprehension exists at present in England or in this Country, relative to the Harvest, than that the rapid advance in the price of lirain, caused by the heavy rains, may, by posibility, lead to the opening of the ports. It is not attempted to he concealed that much and serious injury has been dote to the quality of the Wheat Crop ; but interested speculators alone endeavour to spread the delusion that it will be a short one. There is no real ground lot such a representation, and still less for the soppo• sition, - that the harvest, generally, will prove a deft • - iient one. The weather in this part of the Country • , • continuo remarkably fine, and little remains for the husbandman to perform but to draw home his produce, trod give it such treatment as will insure him the best remunerating price.—(Reporter.) GA MAT, SEPT. 22.—A1l our letters from the COUR try agree, that the late tine weather has done an infi nity of good, after all the schemes of the speculators the prices will be down.—(Adverfirer.)

On Saturday there were no less than 1500 Bags of Wheat brought in, and we have the pleasure to state, upon respectable authority, • . . that compared with the receipts of the preceding Satur , day, an improvement in the quality, beyond the expee= • . . • •; .

BANK OF RIVGLAND. , • 'I • ,0 • A great reduction is about to take!place alrnMt ish• mediately in the establishment of the Bank of Eng land. The number of clerks to he discharged is stated at 125, of whom 40 are from the Hall side or Cashier's office, and the remainder from the various accountant-others for the different classifications of stock, with the•one and two pound Bank-note Office. In the latter. which employed between 200 and 300 clerks, the return to paytnents•in specie mum •have led to the expectation of a very material reduction; but'the number discharged under the innetint arrange ment is only twenty-four. ft was not at all known be fore Tuesday last, we believe, that the change was contemplated by the Governors of the Burk, and the measure, therefore, being one that involves the wel fare or subsistence of so many families, appears a lit tle abrupt. But in the mode of carrying it into effect, the Bank havencted with a liberalitywhich merits raise. All the clerks now dismissed will receive ao annuity for life, in proportion to the amount of pay and length of serviee, a selection being made, as far as the interest` of the concern rendered it prudent to do so, from those tvlio•are the ,sopneikt. iikely from long servicei. to claim the right of superaneviatien. But every clerk discharged will, we utideistaad, be allowed the option, if he prefers it, of receiving a sum of money equivalent to the value of his annuity. Thus to those who are still young and have a talent for business, an opportunity will be afforded, by a supply of capital, of engaging in trade s and of working out their own independence. The number of clerks em ployed at the Bank is above 1000 ; the number dis charged, therefore, is about one-eighth part of the whole. By the measure a saving will accrue to the Bank when the respective annuities fall in. of about 20,0001. per annum. We understand that the cause as signed by the Directors for this step. in the notice to those clerks whose services are to cease, is a general falling off in the business of the establishment. SIVEIIRINO TX OF THE NEW SHERIFFS. Yesterday 'being the day appointed for this ceremony, a large crowd had collected in the Hall for the purpose of witnessing it. At a little before one o'clock the Lord Mayor arrived in state, and held a Court of Aldermen. At a quarter past one the Sheriff-elect, Aldermen Gar ratt and Venables, arrived in new and splendid carriages. The carriage of Alderman Garratt was very elegant without being gaudy. The colours are green and gold, with the arms of the Goldsmiths' Coinpany, to which be belongs, and the arms of his family emblazoned on the panels and on the hammer-cloth. The horses were decked out in green and orange ribands. The servants wore splendid liveries of green and gold to correspond. The 'carriage of Alderman Venables was of a sky blue colour, with hammer-elesh, ke.. of skiver ; and the foot, men in blue liveries wills silver lace, The Sheriffs-elect, accompanied by the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs Waldman and Williams, and the Court of Al dermen, entered the Hall, 'and ascended the platform. The several Aldermen were received with marks of fa vour or disapprobation, according-to the opinion enter tained of them by the people assembled. The New She riffs were splendidly dressed in maroon coats, sur mounted by their state robes of Fearlet, and looked ex tremely well. They were sworn with all appropriate solemnity by H. Woodthorpe, Esq. The last cere mony was to invest them wills the gold lulls of office, when some surprise was occasioned at the vel varia tion from the old costumeof wearing gold chainswith the plain link, instead of which the new Sheriffs were in vested with gold ornaments, consisting of throe coils of gold rope or cord chain, but attached to a superh orna ment affixed to the breast of the' waistcoat. After time usual salutations had been made, the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen reti red. The hew Sheriffs, after the usual salntationshad been made them, proceeded to the Court of Comn►od Pleas, to receive the custody of the persons i►► Nesigate and IYhitecross•street. Mr. Brown, the keeper of Newgate, in givir* in tl►e list of the prisoners in his custody, observed, that he had examined the prison accounts, and that there never had been so small a number of prisoners transferred to the Sheriffs on such an occasion, since the prison had been built. He took the opportunity of congratulating the Sheriffs on the circumstance. Mr. Brown and Mr. Thackray then delivered up the keys to the Sheriffs, who transferred them to the new Sheriff, Mr. Sheriff VENABLES. on receiving the key of New gate, addressed Mr. Brown, and said—Sir, although you have an appointment as the keeper of Newgate, yet, as his Majesty's officers, the custody of that prison is en tirely in us, and we appoint you the Governor for the time being. Mr. Brown received the hey, and bowed. Some other formal business having been disposed of, the Sheriffs re tired to dinner.

OCCU RIR EN CF..— In farthei aecomplation of the horrors incident to the Slave Trade, we have to notice the fate of the Spanish slaving schooner Car lota, which sunk a few days since off the 031Bina', with a fall compliment of slaves on board.

Private letters received from Frame this morning, positively assert that the differences between Russia and the Porte have been adjusted, and that a Decla ration to this effect will appear in a fe►► days. Paris papers of Tuesday arrived late last night, and those of Wednesday this morning. They contain an article from Vienna of the 1•1 th of September, which announces an occurrence that had taken place in the environs of Marienbrunn, not far from Vienna, which, from the tranquillity to which they had been long as customed, had occasioned much sensation in the ca pital, as well as on the spot.—A numerous assemblage, it appears, of hasbandmen and other individuals had met at the house of a peasant who retailed wine, and being heated with liquor, some of the topers bad begun to commit depredations in au adjacent vineyard. The proprietor had advised them in rather harsh terms to withdraw ; but far from obeying, the marauders beat him with their sticks. The noise this transaction occasioned en creased the crowd ; some took part with the master of the vineyard, and others against him, and the pea sants who had collected together also engaged in the affair. The vineyard was totally destroyed, and the two parties entered into furious battle. Many persona were wounded, and two were killed. Advice was sent to the Judge of the district, who sent for aid to Vienna. In the interval the rage of the combatants was raised to the highest degree. Detachments of soldiers. ' , among whom were mounted gendarme:, arrived, bat the rioters received them with insults and a shower of stones. The armed force. however, succeeded at length in restoring tranquillity; many individuals were seised, and the rest dispersed. The numbers killed are stated variously. from five to fourteen.

A disturbance has occurred at Curacoa, the miliiit having refused to obey an order of the Governor to parade in the Fort, and insisted on doing duty in the public parade ground, which was granted them. A considerable excitement exists among the people ander an idea that the Governor was going to abridge the rights of the people. On the 2d inst. there was en assemblage of about 700, who, in the course of the evening insulted the Governor. On the 3d, the Oa rernor called another meeting, and endea►oured to pacify the people by assuring them that he had done nothing but what necet•aity and his duty imposed upon him.

HI saw, at Havannah, in July last, no fewer than 41 vessels fitting out for the slave trade, protected equally by the Flags and Papers of Spain. France Ins cer tainly issued her decrees against this tratic, but she has done nothing to enforce them : on the contrary, she gives to the trade all countenance short of public avowal. Piracy upon the coast of Africa is encreas ing, fur a vessel so engaged has only to show theft of France, and search by a British officer incsn a pe r natty. On this distressing subject, so revoltieg is every well•regulated mind,• I will add, that such led* nsercileas treatment of slaves, by the persons enpri in the traffic, that no fancy can picture the WV of the voyage ; crowded togethir so as not to Itive the power to move, linked one to the other by the kg , never unfettered while life remains, or till the iron shall have fretted the flesh almost to the bone ; fined under a deck, as I have seen them, not thirty 1 1r ches in height; breathing an atmosphere the mars trill, with little food and fess water ; subject all to the most severe punishment at the caprice and fancy et the brute who may cornroan ! the vessel. It is to me s matter of extreme wonder that any of these miserable people live the voyage through ; many of them indent perish eat the passage, and those who remain to meet the shore present a picture of wretchedness language cannot express."

The King, however, is reported to have shcwn more pre sence of mind than any one around tint, and gave his orders coolly and collectedly. A violent sea pitched the vessel alongsile the pier, and, providentially his Majesty was enabled to land in safety. Some danger arose, it is said, previously, by the awkward misma nagement of the French boat improperly coming close to the bow •of the yacht, where the boat's mast got en tangled fur a moment. At this period the King's cap fell into the water, and he lost it. The dinner had been provided at Dessin's hotel by the Duke of Wel lington and the Marquess of Londonderry, who had previously arrived. The company who sa , down to the Royal repast amounted to fourteen persons French and English. The Colonel of the French guard of honour was one of the company who had the honour of dining. The other officers and privates of the guard received a mete 'blanche from his Majesty to or der whatever refieshments they pleased, and at his de parture he ordered a donation of five francs to be pre sented to each private of the guard. CALAIS, THURSDAY MORNING. At ten o'clock yesterday morning the King left Dessin's Hotel is, the rue Royale, taking the road to St. Diner's. His suite occupied four carriage. In the same carriage with his Majesty were the Marquess of Conynghaus and Sir Benjamin Bloomfield. Lord Mount Charles, Colon,; Kennett, and the remainder of his suite, occupied the other carriages. His Majesty's travelling carriage is so fitted up, that he can sleep in it at ease. He travels with four horses en courier, and will make no stay anywhere on the road till he reaches Brussels. His Majesty will remain there a few days. A guard of honour has been mounted at Dessin's Hotel since his arrival here, and the Mayor and Authorities were yesterday to wait upon the King. At the mo ment of his departure a Royal salute was fired from the guns of the citadel. The Duke of Chatre has returned to Paris. The night of the .King's arrival all the English sea men at Calais were regaled with an excellent dinner and plenty of French brandy.
