The Captain wished to make the Head, but found it impracticable. While in the most perilous 'situation (5 feet water in the hold) a brig passed close to the Waterloo. au n t was hailed by a distadred voices; but she proved callous to every also's', and tpsseeeded un her course, Icarus( so many Isomau briegs to ' despair and death. This occurred at II o'clock. while the I lea ran mountains high. Notwithstanding the violence of the ',lad, the main-sail continued unfurled, while the le.kage 'allestnatinarossed the anemias& of all. The soldiers and la isoorertoo board arose from their births, such as they were, forgot their atuasiekaer., and worked at the pumps, and also with buckets; in a meaner which, under circumstances, could not he conceived. There were six of his Majesty's heroes on hoard, one of them a remarkable hue animal, and a great fa vourite of his Majesty; this bora', and two w h e n, we regre t to say, were dreoweed in the hold. Two of his Majesty's car. tiages were on deck, and it appeared Ilse general wish for sew lime to heave them overboard. However, this was opposed by Captain Maxwell (a nautical gentleman, a poseenger), by Major Slater, said our corresPondrul, with seek effect, that the idea was alassrioned. His Majesty's coachmen, who was on board, wept biHertyfor the King's favourite horse. •• I care not for the images," said be, w we can build car. riages, bat we cannot build such a boric" Captain Max well insisted on the maio.sail being taken down: it was so; and to this, and the continued efforts of the soldiers and praisaetry, aided, it is but justice I. acknowledge, by the crew of the packet, she arrived •1 Liverpool at two o'clock on Wednesday. Captaiss Maxwell, and others of the paws- Eves, intend forwarding to Ike Irish Government, a stale. mem, with their sissistures, of this frightful occurrence.— (Dublin Patriot.) NORFOLK nigroor or nix srATE OP THE HARVEST, 4-c. From the universal backwardneas of the seams, swing to ea cold slimmer, a late harvest was naturally expecied. Many thought of beginning elem. the 20th, some the 24th, and ethers as late as the 27,1, of Aug..... From all that I can weak, one, the 20th seemed to have been the period the most generally fixed upon, though undoulsiedly some nen VMS eat before. The heat wad very great during the wet k between the 20th and 27th, much more so than he any foresee part the summer. The Wheat, in consequence, altered a great deal faster than had been expected; so much so that it was soon (mend n y to clap on all the hands that could be plociered in reaping Wheat. By the cud of the week, therefore, a considerable breadth was upon the shock, but as yet very little carried. On Monday the weather became much cooler, and shut fly after a considerable quantity of rain fell, which continued at intervals during the week, to the no small alarm of ileum who had been the most more In the previous week in cettiag down their morn. It was mom found that Barley on the swathe began to be discoloured, and ewe to vegetate where laid close to the ground, or much encumbered with layer. Wheat on the shuck was alao in a very damp, preesrieus state, and soon sheered didOS of sprout ing. As for the Talavera wet, au prone is it to be injured from this cause, that it positively sprouted before ealeiap ; and there is little duuht hat on examinatios it will all be found to hare sustained damage, more or leas, by the wet. Injured, indeed, it was sufficiently before the rains, by a disease which at the time it was hoped was not of such importance as it 'has since proved to he, I mean the red robin*. The hay .c Ibis has made in the crop is very great, and will effectually pat a stop to the mania for veering this Wheat, at least in lieu of a Barley crop, which so universally prevailed this gear. Those who have tried it will bildeterred by their uwa experience. Those who intended tot ry it another year will take warning from that of their neighbour'. With respect to the Wheat crop as an average, hardly know what to .any. There is • prodigious difference in the quality of the .apples--some I have seen as fine as can be produced in say oar; and ethers as inferior. A great deal was laid early. In such cases the straw is mildewed, and the pro duce hardly worth threshing; but even in fair s t an din g crops, mildew is much more general than last year— It mast here be ob it, that from the anxiety to avoid the iU toaseqieences of a wet harvest, many have in jured themselves by carrying their Wheat in an improper inCte.

IRISH BVTTER TRADE. - By an account which has been published it will be Peen. that there has been • deficiency this sea son, compa►ed with the list, of no less than 5,346 firkins of butter. in the export or that article to the Londun market. The first question we should be disposed to ask on learning this circumstance-1s London consum ing lea butter now than formerly ? If, on inquiry, it shall be found, sod we believe it will, that the consumption, if not greater, is at lent equal so the most flourishing years of the trade, another ques tion immediately offers, namely, Why is the Irish butter excluded from the London market ? Why, indeed ! The duty on foreign butter, in foreign bottoms, is twenty-five shillings a firkin— in British bottoms one pound sterling. Now, this duty is quite sufficient to secure protection to the Irish article. It was imposed by the Legislature with this view—and, until this year, it appears to have accomplished the object. But there is another species of butter, called grease, and is fit for nothing but making sheep ointment, or for such coarse purposes. On this foreign grease there is a duty imposed of Is. 6J. The sagacious reader will see from this statement how the thing is managed. The importer is hound to make an affidavit, in which he sears that he will sell the butter as grease. The butter may be, and inderd generally is, or a much higher quality. He takes the oath—a custom-house one, it is true, and complying absolutely with its letter, he vio lates its spirit, and thus cheating the devil in the dark, lie flatters himself that lie has not committed perjury. Most certainly he could not he trans ported fur the crime, though its fora ecnescientia he is clearly guilty. Ile sells it as grease to the retail vender, but as the aforesaid vender is not under the obligation of an oath, lie buys it as batter. This is neat. If the thing happened any where else, and if our own interest were nut deeply involved. we might he di-posed to smile at the cleverness of the trick. But since the Dutchman 1111 V. not pay any of our taxes, we cannot silently subunit to see our interests postponed to his. We have lost by the scheme the sale of fire thousand three hundred and tteenty-six firkins of butter during the present season, al though the price of butler is low almost beyond precedent. Indeed it is only wonderful how the farmer can afford to make it up at such u price as that which it now bears. It is unnecessary. we know. to say another word to the Chamber of Commerce on this occasion.— They know too well what is due to the landed and mercantile interests of the country. not to take im mediate steps to protect them from this piratical and dishonest species of stnoggling.—(Dablin Mercantile Advertiser.) Norwich market was bet thinly attended on Sourdisy, ou account of harve.t ■nd the fickleness of the wvadwr. CollPetilletstly very little business was done, at a trifling advance in prices from last week.—The show of cattle was small, and few were disposed of.—The pens were only partially occ u pied. At Kipton Ash fair, on Turaday se'nnight, very little blisiness was done, though the prices of sheep and lambs were lower than at any fair this season.— Lambs which were worth 164. three months since, will nit now fetch that price by a shilling or two a head.

On his arrival in Dublin, he enlisted into the 2,11 regiment of infantry, and was soon after drafted to the West Indies.

BATTON-GA*OIX. DEPRAVITY IN A CHILD. In our Paper of Tuesday last, we mentioned a circum stance under the head of " Another stolen Child," which *mired at this office, respecting s lad about eight years of age, who had been decoyed away from Mr. Perry's hoarding school, at Rumford, by • showman, and by whom be was afterwards deserted is Maiden-lane, Baltic bridge. The in. ferreting appearance of the little fellow, and the manner its which he narrated his adventures, excited the commiseration of the Magistrates, and Hancock, the constable, who had the child in his custody, was dispatched on Monday last to Mr. Perry's school, at Rumford, to make the affair known to him. Oa the officer arriving at Rumford, be found to his as tonishment, there was so such person or school in the town, but be learned that a Mr. Perry kept an academy at ■ place called Sheofield, about eight miles further. Thither Hancock went, and fussed Mr. Perry's boarding.. „school, and or stating the nature of his visit, he learned there bad been none of his scholars taken away, but there bad been a youth named Brown, corresponding in description with the boy now in lineation, io his school about nine months since. Mr. Perry then advised him to inquire at Ilse Rev. Mr. Baroskill's school ■t Mouatoesing, two miles and a half further. Thither he proceeded, and arrived there at dusk. Mr. B. told him he knew nothing sir the Isoy, but be had a scholar of that name who was then in Ise& Ha ncoc k pro cured a certificate front each of those Gentlemen as to their answers, mod he returned to Rumford late at night, and his horse being knocked up he slept there, mid started for hew next inoraitig, where he arrived at eight o'clock. Ou his going home he questioned the boy, and threatened to have him confined in the House of Correction, where he would not be permitted to see any one, and have only bread and water to live on, and be well whipped if be did not con fess the troth, sad to be aware of deceiving him again. He then began to cry, and said he bad run away from Mr. Brown's school at Ilford. Hancock warmed him of again de. ceiving him, and the boy assured him must earnestly be was telling truth. Hancock accordingly set off on Tuesday morniag to Ilford, but returned without lading such a school there, but was advised to go to Woodford and make inquiry, hut here he suet with no better *twee's. On hie return home, to his surprise be found that the young villain bad opened the back door and made his escape. He west in every direction in quest of hint, but to no purpose, and about one o'clock yesterday morning he was taken to him by a watchman, who found him strolling about Gray's lan•leue. Ou hearing this the Magistrates read the little truant a severe lecture oft the baseness of his conduct, and threatened to have him locked up in the black hole, and hare him well Rugged with a cat-u'•nitie-taih, if he did out instantly tell the truth, and concluded by telling the officers to take him away and lock him up. This threat was instantly put in execution, and whilst the officer was locking him up in one of the dark cells, and ap. peering to prepare to have him stripped, in order to have him flogged, the yesoug delusysient cried out to spare him, and he would tell the truth. He said his father's name was Sheppard, • master carpenter, and kept • shoe•warehouse, which iris mother massaged, at No. 15, Prince's-place, Dog. row, Rethual-grreu, sued that he ran away from home we Saturday, because his mother threatened to heat bins.
