'Piper was no snapinsioh of trettivddting the month, except fon • a single day bathe Whole: •• There has been a roml.tical of wheat and oats:threshed within the last fortnight; and many farmers are now busy ihreshing for market. Oats are very fine in qttility in rneral, and according to their bulk and appearante, their produce is great, lint the balk in the sheaf is not iqtraor fanny ; however, the crop is abundant, and 'greatly ex• )reeds that of the last season. .. Wheat is not turning oat as well as had been expected i,efore .the reaptnir commenced, although a deficiency was then evident, yet the grain appeared plump and large; however it was soft, and the subsequent dry weather made it dimini s h in size, and shrivelled it. There were some horning winds in the beginningof the month, which made the late wheat ripen rather quickly ; as also, frost a few mornings, which, it is considered, hail 'a bad effect with regard to it. 'I he ear. l .y wheats,'which grew on light land, are those which are turning out worst, end White Lamas more particularly ; on good strong land they are not so deficient. The late wheats, particularly those which grew on potato laml, are a tolerably fair crop. Barley is a good crap in most places where we have ob served it, but it is no• crown to a great extent comparatively in this County. Vetches will not be good in many places. The rain which fell at intertals during the last fortnight, was calculated to serve the late potatoes considerably; but we apprehend that the benefit expected to be derived to them from that rain will be materially counteracted by the frost, .which was pretty sharp on Sunday and Monday mornings last. We have seen some fields of the later set rotators, quite black, and parched up by that frost. We regret extremely to have such a circumstance to state in cur report of the potatoe-crop, but we may he allowed to I ope that the frost was not general; or that the injury done t:!,'• potatoes by it is not extensive. The quality of the wheat is uneven, bat all is perfectly sound; a small part only can be considered prime. This, I under present circntnstances, is looked upon by some people as fortunate, inasmuch as speculators are seldom disposed to purthase inferior wheat for storing. The colour of the wheat Is dark. ' ytember 30, 1823. • COUNTY (IF KILKENNY. (ettOat THE MODERATOR.) The commeneetnent of September was extremely fine, ;.ad the continnation then for some days was productive of the greatest advantage to the early crops. The Wheats got up during this period are excellent in finality, %Vitt' a Lille tendency to moistness. The colour is fine, and the grain of Veis saving good. We cannot speak so favour ably of the After Wheats; those are inferior, being mildewed coarse, badly tilled, and have a great tendency to smut. The Wheats are considered under an average crop. Barley is good and still Le in tolerable order, having generally been cut during the good weather. The breadth of Barley is considered limited. Oats vary according to soil ; that in try rich Is d is favourable anti ptoductire, and tha meal already produced limn it is excellent. The lat. Oats promise badly, and in general arc uncut. A fine after s , r.san will eo much to benefit it. Should this late corr. sucered, Oats in ty be then considered a fair steerage (rep. Potatoes are an uncertain crop, and the alight frosts have certainly cheeked them. Yet, the early planted are of excellent qaantv, but the late sowings are in every respect indifferent ; should a serious attack of early frost set in, we may have cause of alarm. flay is rather improved, and althongh it is not abundant, still under geed management there may be a sufficiency. Pastures have much improted, and Pat Beasts kill be made up better than was ram ted. Sheep also thrive well—Botter is in steady demand, and the Aftergrasses affording a good • supply . of * feed, this atticle is, (though late) abundant. Shooing has completely disappointed the Sportsman, the standing Coro being a cover to the partridges, which no person of humanity could think of invading. The bileaner,•alsn. in every field cut down, disturbed the birds, sett this %clines people to think they are scarce : but we think the reverse. Sorry are . we to remark upon the continued poverty of the Country.

In the roun!ies of Forfar anti Fife, and also in East Lothian, the crops of osts and barley are alit,ntlant. Harvest in the Carse of Falkirk is now nearly over: the crops are considered a fair average. The severe frost on the mornings of Sunday and AlonLlay have done consiilerable injury to the uncut beans. In the Carse of Stir ling shunt halt the crop is cut, and the rest is ripe. The crop of beans an•l peas ,is reckoned pretty goad.—(Cale . . • donjon illercuqi.)

The of,cerwaited upon hit Lordship, wad we understood in insWerle. the charge; said, ,that the sale of ,a quantity, the (Mill of which was doubtful, had•been lately pre vented by the officers, who very narrowly' xamined all the fish that seas bronglit to Billingsgate ; that there teas now but one cargo of , Salmow tr the Dock; that that eerie was sound, and Would probably continue so until' the sate, which wbnld tslte place next day, should the weather re-i main cool. The officer repeated, that the greatest reliance might be placed upon the activity of those who snperintend the market, in preventing the sale of unwholesome fish. Soon after the officer had left the Mansiba-bonse. the Lord blayor'received another letter, which stated, that on account of the carelcssnees of the officer, large uantities of salmon not o f season were now so ld, to the Immioebt dagger of the health of the public. The writer 'declined mentioning his name, because he is one of the trade. • A Jew Jail, ramed Abraham Aaron, was charged by a number of the religious body of the Jews with having sacrilegioosly entered the sanctum sanctormn of the synagogue, and stolen a jewel of cOnsiderable value. It . was State, that on the Jewish sabbath before last, the High Priest having used the point (a silver instrument pointed with a jewel, with which the officiating minister points at the lines of holy writ as he reads), after service placed it in the proper place in the sanctuary ; that the prisoner having got in during the service, concealed bins. self until the congregation departed, and then possessed himself of the point, which is considered by the Jews as a thing of inestimable ratite on account of the use to which it is applied, the actual value of the jewel, and its great antiquity. It was offered fur sale on the 27th of last moot h. John Barnet - , a boy, who resides in Petticoat Lane, stated that on the 27th of last month, the prisoner came to him and said be had a point to sell to witness. The prisoner then took it from his neck, and showed it to witness, who was so much alarmed that he refused to touch it. He, however, advised the prisoner to return, and speak to witness's father. This was done, and the father of ihe prisoner being informed of the circumstance, the point was returned at once to the High Priest, and the prisoner apprehended. The sacred implement was produci.d. The end was formed like a band, and covered with stones of much value. The handle, which was elegantly worked, was attached to a massiva silver gilt chain. It had been pre sented to the synagogue by a pions Jew. Some of those who have such a reverence for the instrument, showed great uneasimss at seeing it turned about and examined by the eye of pentane curiosity. The Loan :I.llroll examined Barnet as to the identity of the jewel, hut the latter would not speak positively; * for although, according to the officer's account, he would have bought profane shier spoons without hesitation, he was so much terrified at the sight of the jewel as to lose all power ' 91 distinguishing properly. 4ls the testimony of the High Priest is necessary, in order to prove the identity, the prisoner was remanded. CC! LDII.: ROgCIO72, a black man, well knou in the neighbourhood - of Fleet market, where lie has resided fur tome years, as a teacher of fencing and pagilism, was brought up yesterday before the sitting magistra'e, .Jr. Alderman Bitten, charged on suspicion of setting fire to a certain premises ty the court, at No. it*,, Fleet-erect. James Swan, printer, the landlord of the whole of these premi.ses stated, that they were let in distinct suits of apartments to four different master printers, and that the prisoner, Itogeson, occupied one large room on the ground floor as an academy for receiving his pupils ; and ' occasionally, but very rarely, has slept there. On Monday night the premises were discovered to be on fire. Itogeson, it appeared ' was not then within ; but as the fire was found to proceed from the apartment he occupied, the partition between that and the passage being nearly burned through, the door was forcibly burst open, when it was discovered that a quantity of coals (a•light and blazing) were piled up against the partition. These, they concluded, had been taken out of the grate ; for though there was no fire at all in it, they found it quite hot. From the quantity of the coals, the manner in which they weae piled up, and the distance from the grate, which was at least IS or 20 feet from the partition, it was quite clear they could not have got there by accident. Ile was not present himself, lie said, till after the fire was extinguished ; and the lad who first made the discovery, as well as some of Air. Feigerley's (eke printer) men, who burst the door open, Were so particularly engaged on periodical publications, Which must come out on Wednesday, that they could not now attend to give their evidence.. flu had;-bowever, seen the state of the place very shorty after, and be bad one Witness who was present when the room was burst into.-.—; No person but the prisoner Itogeson had access to that apartment. William Down, apprentice to Mr. Bingham, printer, who occupies the second floor on these premises, said be was at work' between 9 and 10 o'clock on Monday evening, and hearing the alarm, ran down, just as Mr. Edgerley's men had burst open itogeson's room door. lie went in with them ; the coals against the partition were all of a blaze, and the wainscot was on tire, and there was already a hole burnt through into the passage. Air. Ald.'lituen.—Could the coals have fallen from the grate? IVitness.—No, Sir; the fire was not near the grate; there was no lire in the grate •, hut I felt it quite Lot, as if there had been one a little while before. My. Aid. Wacp.—Wl►cra doer, Hopson keep his coals fur that room Witness.—There is a place partitioned off for the coals. Sir ; but that is good bit 0.1 from where the fire was • hut the; were not fresh coals alight , Sir, but cinders an d coals half burnt, just as Willey bad been taken oat of the tire•grate a light, and put there. The latter part of this boy's testimony - was confirmed by ,Moore, the patrol of St. Bride's, who was fetched to the spot from the uatch-house. He examined the place, and said he took up some of the rumaina of the fire, which were mostly cinders utd coals half burnt, and though water had been thrown upon them, they wet. still so hot as to burn his band. During all tilt' bustle that this alarm occasion ed, both in the Court and in Fleet Street, Itozeson never made his appearance near the premises; but was taken into custody shortly titter cards, sauntering about on the oppo site side of the way, in Fleet Street, as if malting the issue. _ . . Mr. Swan sail he had not liar; sufileient time to produce all the necessary evidence, but he believa I be shunld be able to prove that the priwnt r had been ten in or near the premises late in the evening . , and that he contemplated this art would appear from Ilk n4ving told come of the prinfeie toys thdn they had a fire once, and that they would come a;4in some morning and find their place borne,' down, and no office there. The prisoner appeared sntheientlr impressed with the serious nature of the charge, but di l not interrupt the proceedings by a single observation. The Alderman, in deed, would not, in the present stage of the business, call neon him fur any defence, hot remanded hint fa,r further examination when the other important witnesses could at t nd.

Mery• And Hatbsot. a girl in the Service of Mr. Gruaz, stated. that she had been cleaning the front parlour in her master's house, shout eight o'clock that morninj and lifted nwthe window to let the dust out; she was absent for a few minutes from the p trlonr, an d on her return, saw something black at the ‘vludowoehich at first she thought to be.ber master's back coat, bat on taking a closer.viem, site discovered that it was the head of the prisoner Willis, who had got over the railing. and hung by his hands front the window stone: she asked him what he w.oritedt he re'plied,.that he waived to see w Dr. Young, toilerstoid,lived there. The witness said there .ffol no such perlion, lived there, or in the street ; and thn prisoner clambered over the 'railing Ind walked off with the other prisoner Cook, who stood upon the street-door stem.

He was determined to watch them until he soar them completely in ; but being interrupted by the ! servant, they walked othowards Euatomsgoare. Sespecting they ntigbt attempt some other hoots, Mr. Nlillridge.folOwed them. at a catttinns Jimmy, watching their motions 411 the , way until they came to the house, No. 9.4, .the' square, sibOrtthey d endeavoured to get in at the . mwing-loom winkle* by climbing up the lamp-post, and 'Mr. Milfeidge then had them taken into custody. . The prisoner, in their defence said that they lived at N 9. ,12. Leg-illey, Long-acre, and were two very Lard-working industrious young ladQ, shoemakers. They were never in any sort of trouble before. Mr. CONANT asked the oncers if any of them knew the prisoners. They sail they did not; and the prisoner,' seemed in great luck, until lte-111, a tiuw•..treet patrol, just entered the office. and recognized them both as regular thieves and old offenders. Mr. CONANT then ordered that they should each be committed for one month to the trend-tuill, as reputed thieves. Elizabeth Coady, Isabella Sullivan, aed Catherine Fitz gerald, were re-examined. charged with having attempted to extort money trom Thomas Barnes, a countryman, whom one of the prisoners enticed into Coady's house in Maynard Street, St. Giles's. They are also suspected of having thrown him ont of the second fatar window. Mr. TURNER, the solicitor, attended on behalf of the parish, and stated, that the poor man still remained at the Middlesex Hospital, where he had been lying a fortnight. in consequence of the injury he hsd sustained in the le.ll from the window; that he was yet unable to come and give evidence, but from the surgeon's account all danger was over, and by next Tuesday, in all probability he would be well enough to attend. The prisoners were remanded until next Tuesday. MARTL.tuosxe.—Yester,:ay Mrs. Amelia °neat, a lady dressed in the highest fashion, slummed !Milan& Clarion, the cwner and driver of the hackney coach, No. 833, for having grossly abused her. The lady stated that, on Saturday afternoon last, she sent her servant to the Paddington stand for a coach. On arrival at tier house in Itroodstock Street, she desired the coachman to drive to No. 8, Park road, in the Regent's ' Park. On arriring at her destination, the defendant de. minded Is. W. for his fare. Witness objected to tie as unjast, and tendered him a shilling as his fare, which she was conscious was all he could demand according to the list of fares. The defendant refused to take it, insisting en having Is. 6.1. Complainant told him the consequence of persisting in his illegal demand, and again tendered him the shilling. After some time the defendant agreed to take the shilling. Complainant finding him obstinate, told him he should not have it for his impudence, and that be might summons her for his fare, giving him her address, No. .2, South Bank, Regent's Park.. She then attempted to go home, but was prevented by thedefentlant, who stood before her and impeded her progress, insisting that she should not move till slieforked out his blunt. Complainant, dreading his violence, paid him the shilling, and she was then suf fered to depart without farther molestation. The defendant, in reply, said, as how he never used any abusive language at all to the lady; he certainly did ask eighteen pence as his fare, but soon discovered it was a mistake ; it was a very long shillingswortb. On the lady refusing to pay the one and sixpence, and offering a shilling, he agreed to take it, but she refused to give it, saving be might summons her, and that she lived at No. 2; South Bank. At this moment a gentleman came up, and hearing the lady giving her address, told her she was misleading him (the defendant), and that she did not live at South Bank. Finding herself repulsed, she said," Well, then, I live at No. 8, Woodstock street."—No, you don't," said the gentleman, " you live at the end of Portland Town, and you know it." He finding she had deceived him, ditl insist on his fare, and did prevent her going till she paid him, which he considered himself juttitied in doing. As for using any abusive language, he declared he did not utter a disrespectful word. Mr. Phillips, the gentleman above alluded to, then stepped forward ; lie said lie had not the most distant Icnntv-j ledge of the coachman, but hearing the lady give a wrong' address, lie had stepped forward to prevent the imposi tion. Mrs. Gantt here interrupted the proceedin g s , by observ ing, that Mr. Phillips owed her a grudge, an d that he was ablest() swear any thing. The Magistrate rebuked her for the observation in severe terms, and then ordered the summons to be dismissed, and adjudged Mrs. Guest to pay the expenses. Juvextte DEPRAVITY.—A little urchin, not more than nine years old, named Michael Hunt, was charged with picking pockets. Hannah Connor stated that she caught the prisoner's hand in her pocket, and on feeling for her money she funnil it was. gone. A constable stated that he searched the prisoner on the spot, and found in his' pocket l•ls. Gs. io silver. On taking him to the wAtchliouse, lie said the money belonged to his poor mother, wh o was a very drudren woman, and had given it to bias for fear she should spend it. It was afterwards proved that his mother had been dead several years, therefore he was immediately counnitted, to take his trial. LAMUETII-STREKT.—Yesterday Edward Tarbut was brought before the sitting Magistrate, charged with in le cently exposing himself to three girls, on Monday evening last, in Princes-square, St. George's in the East.—He was . committed to the tread mill for a month. airs. Ann Wilson, of Wells's-street, Poplar, was brought up on a warrant charging her with an assault of a very aggravatril description. The prosecutor, John Iti‘Doneld, an elderly seaman, stated, that as he was sitting at breakfast with the de fendant, with whom lie had been an occasional lodger foe the last six or seven years, she urged him to brae witness for her that a neighbour, with whom, she ap peared to have had a quarrel, hut thrown a stone`at Ler head butle declining to swear to a fact which lie not only had not seen, but which lie did not believe to have occurred, she'iminediaiely flew at him., and with the knife with which she was cutting some bread and butter, inflict ed a dreadful gash across the back of his , hand s , ,tari . Cli deprived him of the use of his fingers. ; • . • U. Being asked what she could s.iy in her ilrfeuee, she strennoosly denied the _truth of,thecomplainsnt's tatemen , , and declared that the man had cut his own hand in attetnpt ing to cut some wood, and that ehe had witue, , ses at hand to prove the fact.
