_.. ~.. whether they be just or unjust; for that were to imagine people to be too reasonable who do often spurn at their — own good; nor yet by this, whether the griefs where upon they rise be great or small. For they are the most dangerous discontents where the fear Is greater than the feeling Doleadi mods*, tisitesdi nos Mena." Besides, in great oppressions, the mite things that provoke the patience, do withhold more the cou rage; but in fears it is not so. Neither let any Prince or State be secure concerning disconteotments I because they have been often, or hav been long, and yet no peril bath ensued ; for as it is true that every vapour or fume doth not turn into a storm, so it is nevertheless true, that storms, though they blow over divers times, yet may fill at last; and as the Spanish proverb match well ' The cord breaketh at the last by the weakest pull. .9 19 The interest which every one at present feels in the Harvest now in hand, becoming every day more *con siderable from the unsettled state of the weather, and the rapid rise in the price of corn, we have been led of late to allow i larger space in our columns than usual on this important ►ubject. In the communications we have selected from our provincial correspondence will be found good reason to hope that the Corn-Market will soon assume a more favourable aspect to the con sumer. It will be observed, that through the northern cone!** of England, and In Scotland generally, the Weather had not up, to a recent date, been unfriendly to the labouri of the husbandman ; and the supply and price of Wheat in the London market it is well known is much affected by the crop of that part of the Island. From Glasgow, indeed, we learn to day that there has been a very unfavourable break in the har vest weather, and they are 'now getting their tarn of those rains which have done much harm in England and Ireland. Fortunately, howerer, a considerable quantity of wheat was stacked in good condition while the weather was favourable, and it is hot sup posed that as yet much injury has been donr to the stocked or standing victual.—From another district of the north, the town of Hull, we are informed, that there is no necessity for the great r i se which has taken place in the price of our, and that it will soon come down again. We . are inclined to think, says the writer, that the great damage to the crops is more in anticipation than fact, and that it will even tuallx turn out that the produce of grain it both abun dant and well got in. Our accounts received to-day from Waterford, dated Saturday last, say the receipts of Wheat and Butter were abundant yesterday ; Oats were is good supply; Barley was scarce ; Wheat 21s. to 28s. 6d., demand brisk in the forenoon, but rather drooping afterwards.--The Ireports (rem Dublin are as folloW " DUBLIN, SIM% 15.—The heavy rain of Thursday ceased in the course of that night. Yesterday, al. though without any droppings, was sulky, and Sol did not make his appearance from an early hour in the forenoon, when ke once or twice shot through his ob. Seurtiy; but soon hid bleitefft spiv. This day N Awe , and promises good weather. We understand the harvest in the counties of Wicklow, Kildare, and Queen's County, has suffered a good deal from the pre vacates of the late heavy rain. Great anxiety continues to exist concerning the hatvest. The London market note ;singe on the verge, if it has not passed the remunerating price. It is ap prehended that the Ports will be thrown open before the harvest has bad a fair trial." Wheat fell yesterday full 101. the qUarter in Mark lane, owing to the change is the weather. It Is said Mau, that more than 20,000 inners of wheat, shipped off from the northern counties on bearing of the rise in the London market, have arrived. The letters by the Dutch mail state that i rise of 3s. the quar ter in wheat has taken place at Amsterdam, it being at length concluded there that the continued advance in the English market mist have some better cause than mere speculation. We hope to be mile to present our Sporting Readers with a Second Edition in the course of this afternoob, containing an account of the Dort casts' Sr. Lacs*. Letters and papers have been received from Gib raltar and froth seeml other parts of the Mediter ranean to the 28th ult., from which tve extract the following GIRRALTAIL, Allil.24.—Noitte.—lntelligence of an alarming nature, at to the state of the public health in two or three of the principal towns in Spain, baring reached the garrison, the Lieutenant Governor has di rested the establishment of the cordon on the neutral ground, as last yeas, and persons are ordered not to at tempts° pass the same at any other point than where the Inspectors of Strangers are stationed.

Viscount Sidtuoutb, the Marquess of Londonderry, Earl . Bath urst, the Right Hon. N. Vansittart, Viscount Mel ville, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Maryborougb, and Lord Stewart. Parliament was further prorogued from the 26th of September to a future period. After the Council, R.

His Mbjesty, it is said, will embark at Dover for Calais, and make a short stay at the Silver Lion in that place, whilst the Royal carriages, &c. are landing. It is understood that a Council of Regency was appointed yesterday. It was on the 31st July that his Majesty left Lon don, to embark at Portsmouth for Ireland. His visit has thus occupied a space of (arty-seven days. et whitit twenty-four were spent in travelling by sea and land.

In consequence of the prevalence of contrary winds, the Royal yacht was compelled to seek shelter in Lough Swilly, where his Excellency and suite disem barked, and proceeded to town by land. WESTMINSTER ASSET. The different erections made previous to the Coronation are now undergoing a removal. The Organ loft andthe other buildings taken down, are about to be replaced ; bat Westminster Hall still remains in state quo. The celebrated apart ments of .Nos rni ricordo, the amiable Mademoiselle Demont, and the conscientious Barbara Krantz in Cotton-garden, have vanished like a vision, "and left not a wreck behind." The late rains have made the grass grow on that unhallowed spot, that sink of per jury and persecution, while the harassed and perse cuted victim has reached that bourne from whence no traveller returns." If there be a just Clod in Heaven, which all nature proclaims aloud, the perse cutors of that great, that extraordinary woman, must one time or another feel a compunction which is the invariable result of injustice and infamy, and a guilty soul. The actors in that tragic scene may exult in the wages of infamy ; they may bask in the sunshine of courtly favour, but a day of reckoning will come when their perjuries, their subornations, their perse cutions, will stare them in the face ; when they will rift qakiti Mumps whisks shair-gailey bowls; when elm relentless hand of death shall wave over their bedside, then will the injuries of the martyr'd Caroline cry out for retribution. By auvices from Montreal of the 18th of August, there had been a dreadful fire at that place : the loss is estimated at LIAO/. The following stores were burnt, viz :—Messrs. Allison, Turner, and Co.; Messrs. John Scott and Co.; Messrs. Scott and Spittal ; and Mr. Pedders : that of Messrs. Gerrard and Sons was in imminent danger, but was saved. Batavia journals of the 28th of April give an account of a terrible earthquake which took place on the 29th of December last, on the south coist of Celebes. It did immense damage, especially at Boelekomba, whit* the sea rose several times to a prodigious height, and then falling with incredible rapidity, alternately de luged and left the shore, deatioying all the plantations from Bontain to Boeleekomba. Many hundred persons have lost their lives. The fort of Boelsekomba was much damaged, that of Bontain lesi so. Letters have been received from the Braille to the 21st July. They bring accounts from Valparaiso, and Lima, from the latter place to the beginning of May. These accounts, (says a Ministerial paper), are of a very vague nature, but on the whole, appear to confirm the former statement of San Martin's having enibarked his troops and left the wait, and of Lord Cochrane haiing raised the blockade of the whole Pe ruvian coast, in consequence of Which Lima was again thrown open to the tag of every nation. It was iniagined that Lord Cochrane hail taken this step on' account of the determination of Sir Thomas Reidy to protect British ships from being stopped and examined by the Chilian vessels of war, for which purpose Mr Thomas was waiting the arrival of the Superb, whin he intended to piocited to the Peruvian coast.

John Carty was indictee capitally. ist, indictment for burglary. 2d, for assaulting the dwelling-bouso Of J. Needham. 3d, an assault on John Needham, • John Needham stated that on the 9th of June last, at two o'clock in the morning, four men came to his Iroise ; they broke open the door . and two of them entered; they retired and fired a shot in the horse; entered again and beat him severely; he saw Carty iu the yard and knew him, but none of the Others. Cross-exainined by Mr. R. N. BENNEIT.—ft use light enough to see him, it was moon light; knew Carty perfectly well, he lived a quarter of a mile from witness ; sever offered to give up prosecution if he got 3/. does not know hie daughter was with the men who beat him; no injury was done by the shot. DgligNCE.—Elisa Byrne swore the prisoner slept in her house the night Needham was beat; she saw hiui go to bed and rile in the morning. Mr. W. Laurence and Mr. W. Keogh gave the pri! soner a good character. Judge FLE•rcusa charged the Jury; if they be lieved Needham, the offences laid in the indictment were established, and however painful their duty, they were boned to convict the prisoner, and he cautioned then) against adopting a practice too frequent with Jurors--that is, some of them finding a vernier of guilty on a compromise with the others to recommend to Mercy; and he assured them that if they slmOuld re commend, he would not take notice of it, nor aid in recommending the prisoner, as there appeared nothing to impeach the testimony of Needba:u. Itihen the Jury retired and remained for some time, Mr. BkNNSTT submitted to his Lordship, as this was now become a serious case, that on consideration be felt It his duty to tall his Lordship's attention to the indictment, and to submit that there was no evi dence to snetain any of them. The first was burglary ; and to establish that offence in point of law, the break ing must be done with ate/enjoys intent, and here the intent wag only to commit an assault; there was a far ther objection to this indictment on the evidence;. on the 9th of June it is day light at two o'clock, and if it be so light that the form of a man may be distinguished, burglary cannot be committed. As to ►he second in dictment; for assaulting the dwelling•houie of the pro secutor, Mr. Bennett said. that evidence should b• given that the district in which the offence was al leged to hate been committed was disturbed before such act could amount to a capital felony ; no such evi• deuce had been given in support of the indictment. And as to the third indictment, there was no evidenca that the prisoner entered the homiest where the assault was alleged to have been committed. Mr. Justice ?Laren ea observed, that as to time hitt indictment, he coneidered that the breaking into the house was evidence of the intention to do the act. which constituted the legal offence of burglary, and as to the lime that the witness said he was able to know the prisoner by moon tight. . Mr. BENNET contended that at the hour of two o'clock there was sacieut day fight for the Jury to presume it was by that light prisoner's face was known, and produced an &hummock, from which it ap peared that the ninon had set that night 20 minutes after 12 o'clock. Mr. H. referred to several cases to prove the poi nta.b. relied es. Hie Lordship was pleased "tio pity ,handatie attention to those points, and said he would require the assist ance of Judge Moore, and Sent to require his assist - - once. His Lordship immediately came into the Crown Court; and after a consultation, their Lordships ruled the points ih favour of the prisoner, and sent for the Jury who said they had foind the prisoder guilty on the indictments; but the Learned Judge would nut re ceive the verdict, and told the Jury that the point" made at the bar for the prisoner were good in point of law, and they must acquit the prisoner ou all the in dictment's. The Jury retired, and after remaining a coneiderable time, were sent for, and leturned a tree diet of Not Geilty.. This trial excited great interest, and the Court was much crowded. 'On Friday, at twelve o'clock, a butcher of Birming" ham, of the name of Thomas Smith, undertook to rides a spavined horse, for which he had given between *is. and seven patina, frOm the Market-place to Daveotry, a distance of about 39 miles, in three hours, for a wit;. ger of 20 guinea's, which he performed in two houii and 29 Minutes.

AY EiTRAORDINARi RISUiCITATION....-00 Satur day afternoon, a boy about four years old, named Charles Rawion, son of a sailor; had the misforttine to fall into a pit belonging td the PeicOck-inn, Boston.

After he was removed, three quarters of an hour elapied Wore any medical assistance could. be obtained. At length Dr. Crane was found, but he was not able to discover ady signs of life, except some de gree of warmth, Which he thought indicated a proba bility that animation might be restored. With that view, the dotter ordered the child to be placid in a warm bed : and until that could be proilded, be at tempted to renew respiration by an artificial method of inflating the lungs, aided by friction of the extremi ties and upon the region of the beta. In a short time ari obscure motion of this organ was tboosks so ho evident to the touch: this was doom followed by paha tien of the wristi. The boy wis then put into beli„ and, upon a gentle itimului being given to him, he in a few minutes opened his eyes, and with a lend shriek idled a copious flow Olean; and was restored to his anxioni mother, who was present during the whole of the agoniting scette.---(Cembridge paper.)
