.""~.~ LW 7a4 HARVEST.--111ARAETS. The variable state of the .weather rill keeps alive sense apprehension respecting the reiult of the harvest. It does not apiTr, however, that there is at present any ground for alarm. The crops in Ireland are understood to beiskls more promising condition tbao elicit be expected froth recent accounts. Some local :,nd circumscribed instances of injury, or failure in the crops, pot forth in the Irish papers, have excited an 'undue degree of alarm. 'The crops in Scotland are very good. The wheat is excellent, and the wea ther there has been comparatively favourable. The latest English provincial papers also give more cheer ier reports, and from enquiries this morning at the Mail-coach offices we learn that the harvest is nearly all concluded within fifty miles of the metropolis.— Even should a rise of price take place, it is not expect ed to be such as to cause the opening of the ports in November.—A tolerable harvest will be sufficient to keep the ports closed. • The Corn Market yesterday was in a complete state of stagnation. No sales whatever could be effected ; end such has been the eagerness of the farmers to take advantage of the late advance, that the arrivals are unprecedently large. Since Monday, nearly 20,000 qrs. of Wheat have reached London. The following are the particulars of the Scotch and Irish crops and markets, recently received : The sudden changes in the weather, daring the pre sent harvest, have produced the most extraordinary fluctuations in the price of grain. Many farmers, with in our-knowledge. have been raised from the lowest ' , depths of despondency to the most unexpected heights of good fortune by these variations. One person who bad purchased some months since, a large quantity of fine old wheat at 141. per load, is likely to realize up wards of 10001. by his bargain :—and numerous te nants, who bad yielded up every hope of being able to pay their rents, will, by the good prices they are now obtaining for their wheat, be enabled to discharge their landlords' full claims, and have a fair remunera tion left for their labour. On the other hand, it must be confessed, that from the partial failure, which has Certainly taken place, in many parts, (though the South Down farmers are not included in this dis aster) much loss will be inflicted, particularly in the Weald. But though the general crop of the present year will, we are assured from high agricultural au thority, fall short of an average one, still there is a superabundance of cern, from the immense quanti ties remaining in hand of the last three years' pro duce.—The process of threshing is most actively going on in vat ions parts of this county both day and night, and the markets, we have every reason to believe, will, in a few days, be absolutely glutted. Prices of course, must, soon, very considerably come down. The let ters of our different correspondents in Sussex all con cur la stating that the harvest is nearly completed.— (Brighton Ikrald, Sept. 22.) The prices of grain at Lewes corn marl:et, on Tuesday, were—White Wheat 31. 16s. to 31. ISs. ; Red ditto, 3/. 4s. to 3/. 12s. At Arundel corn market, the prices were—Wheat, 181. Os. to M. Os. :.er load ; Barley, 275. to 2sa. per quarter; Oats, 21r. to 245. per quarter; Flour, lgd. per gallon. In the alive town, the quartern loaf sells for 11d. Our limits at this season are necessarily very much confined. We cannot, however, omit to notice the fluctuations which the corn market has exhibited during the last fortnight—on account of the suppo sitions and the real effects of the weather upon the harvest. That the wheat has sustained some injury there can be no doubt. The barley has suffered still more, and much of both in the Northern Counties is still abroad. But the great evil complained of is, that the former has been got up while soft, and that such corn is unfit for grinding, except when mixed with larger proportions than ordinary of old or of good-conditioned. —Now if this be all, the kiln affords a competent remedy, and although few farmers are possessed of the means of drying by artigcial heat, most millers and merchants can have instant recourse to such a remedy. The difference therefore to the . public ought only to be in the expense incurred by this process.— And when it is considered th at an unusually large stock of the former harvests remains on band—that the quantity of the present rather exceeds an average crop—and, above all, that the stock of foreign grain in warehouse, both at home and abroad, will instantly rush into the market, should the averages rise to the importation rate, we think there is little reason to ex pect any considerable or prolonged elevation of price. Indeed the knowledge we have of the two first facts from such a variety of quarters, will not suffer us to doubt that the home supply is now fully equal to the demand. However therefore prices may fluctuate, (and they will fluctuate so long as opinion varies) ul timately, we look upon it as an absolute certainty, they will descend at least to the level of last year. Should there be found any real cause fur a rise to the importation price, only for three months, as the law now stands, woe be to the landed interest for years to come —(Norreich Merearg, Sept. 2• YARIMOUTH, &CPT. 20 —Our ITIM it on Saturday was well supplied with wheat ( old and new) which met ready sales, at from 3s. tb' ss. per quarter dearer from last week's prices.

LYNN, Sam 20.—We had a good supply of Wheat at market on Tuesday, both new and old, but very little inclination on the part of the merchants to pur chase, and the market closed heavily at a reduction of four and Ere shillings per quarter from the prices of last week.

Several parcels of early barley have been found to weigh 18 to 191 stones, of 1711bs. to the stone; but the greater part will require eight or ten days to' bring itlo the sickle, and, from its present spotted appearaace, will be of very an evil:quality, and nearly one-third short of an aver age crop.

The fall of rain has been great, but the damage, except upon the low and heavy grounds, it is calculated, has not been by any means sogreat as was at first imagined. The three ,last days hive been tolerably fine, and the greatest exertions and used to cut down and get in the corn. But the speculators are manifestly operating upon the Corn Exchange for a rirc. If they succeed, the Ports will be thrown open, and manifest fraud will be committed on the Agriculturists of England and Ireland. We are still inclined, however, to hope and believe that they will not succeed in their plan. lisLwAv, SEPT. 13.—The faiourable change in the weather for some days past, has enabled the Lamers to get a considerable proportion of their crops out of danger, and there is every appearance now that we shall have upon the whole a most abundant harvest. LIMERICK, SEPT. 13.—Upwards of 3000 barrels of Wheat appeared at this day's market; the quality, though injured, is much better than was anticipated, from the unfavourable state of the weather. The pur chasing was rather dull—prices from is. IL to Is. 4d. _ . CORR, SEPT. 14.—The weather since our last has continued most favourable for agricultural purposes. This day and yesterday the sun has shone out, and imparted a warmth that cannot fail to bestow a saluta ry advantage on the late and standing crops, which will be of incalculable benefit, and also in saving such as have met the sickle. They were equal to the most favourable harvest weather.—(Chronicle.) KiwteNnv, Seer. Is.—The almost uniform fine ness of the week just ended has nearly dissipated the gloom with Mkt, our harvest prospect was so lately overcast. The country here presents, on every side, a busy and highly interesting scene.

Several samples of pockets, very bright in colour and full condition, have been 'hewn, but there is no inclination in the planters to dis pose of them at the present low prices. MAIDSTONE, SEPT. 17.—Some samples of new hops were exhibited in our market on Thursday ; they were tolerably bright, and pretty full condition. We did not hear of one sale being affected. From most parts we learn that the crop falls considerably short of what was expected in some grounds, at least one third less!

PARISH OF LAMBETH. -a-- Yesterday a meeting of the inhabitants of the Parish of Lambeth, was held in the Vestry-room for the pur pose of considering a preposition for " Farming the Poor." The question excited great interest, and the vestry was crowded to excess. The Rector, the Rev. Mr. D'Oviev, took the chair, and recommended to the Meeting order in their pro- ceedings, for the better consideration of the beakless they had to discuss. Captain TUCK addressed the meeting on the heavy expenditure which the parish had incurred, and was still incurring, by a want of due economy i■ tha ma nagement of the parochial poor. He said the present parish expenditure for maintenance amounted to nine shillings each man, when the same might be de frayed, if the poor were farmed, for little more than one third of that amount. The Gallant Captain pro ceeded to read various calculations, showing the reduc Lions which might be made in the expenditure, and concluded by moving, " That the proposition he had brought forward for farming the subsistence of the Poor be adopted." • Mr. SCHULTZ seconded the motion. Before the motion was put, Mr. Williams wished to know whether it wet practicable to class the in and out-door poor. Mr. Gan, at considerable length, opposed Captain Tuck's motion, which he conceived visionary and im practicable. He denied the asserted expenditure, and said that the account did not exceed ss. 7d. Or bead. This was confirmed by the Rector and one Overseer. A considerable discussion here ensued; in which Mt. Roffey, Mr. Williams, Captain Tuck, and othet•pa risbdouers, took a part. All agreed thit, if the poor amid Ite fumed, the proposition ought to be adopted, for the sake of trying its efficacy. It was • nitiraately• agreed to refer the subject for consideration to a Com mittee, *including the parish Olieffl l / 2 who were to re port their opinion at a (stare vestry. It was stated•that an missal saving of 10,0001. would be elected by the &Joel's of the new plea. --~T . • ~. 1 ; th.. . . . . .. • ..-, ~..• • o n f a t c h t:t p h a a , :l e l ,.a t i o m f be this r h p i a c p h e s r h , a n iol now have Canada, ee n b o i l Nil . • t . -. rdi t ttei Ti oioit T nds eiN .2.3 l s e t ei. .04, 0: . •mi. 11.11 'it k to e Quebec, after the 25th of March last. must la; 1 Sewth4otr etotir:-.: ...- 7 t m b e e n foreign tht Ibip duty. could I t n o was t X c thought g t tine i b n y te; l 4the sY ea n ,,, , South Sea did Ass. lifai SIMI& Pc Pot- 'Small s.. lis. 4s. pre. 2 : 15 1. t a m ounti h m ob M arch , r which h t o i cli ai hi total subject : ....
