. . • thief. tf, , Stowe e*, we May attach credit to the represeatiktions made ia.psveral peewit/41 papers, the corn harvest promises to he exceedingly abtin dstat, for the ground, they my, is well covered, and the grain in the ear is large, plentiful, and bossy. These representations respecting the probable re. sults of the harvest will. keep the corn market in suspense for some time, but the corn dealers must take care how they suffer their speculations to bring into action the law which provides for the im. portstion of foreign corn, when the average prices shall have arisen to certain specified amounts. It was at the commencement of this year that Lord LIVIIRPOOL, in the House of Lords, ascribed the miseries which the industrious or labouring 'classes of the State had for some years endured to the excess of our national productions. The prin ciple, no doubt, appeared to many to be an extra ordinary paradox, that abundance necessarily led to wretcheduess, and that mankind was doomed by the inevitable law of nature to starve in the midst of plenty. Entertaining these opinion', however, Lord LIVERPOOL must, during the course of the summer, have frequently congratulated himself and the country upon the unpropitious appear ance of the weather, for during the last four months we have enjoyed but a very trifling pro portion of sunshine, in comparison with the im mense quantities of rain that have fallen upon our fields. What the hopes of the husbaudmen may have been we cannot pretend, in the present age of paradoxes, even to imagiue—whether they, like buthaudinen in former ages, debited to witness plentiful crops, even though the abundance of the article might cause a decrease in the market prices, or whether their wishes concurred with the opinions expressed by Lord LIVERPOOL, and they might fancy that their individual prosperity was to be obtained by scanty produce. The state of the harvest, however, we now understand far ex ceeds in quantity and quality what we, in common we believe with many others, had apprehended ; and Lord LIVERPOOL will, in the abundant supply of corn, have either to complain of another year of ogrictiltural distress, or to discuter some ingenious paradox to excuse his former uotions, or to illustrate his opinions respecting the future condition of the country: There is, however, we are happy to think, very little reason to doubt that, notwithstanding the evil of art abundant harvest, the condition of the la bouring classes throughout the country has recently mid very considerably improved. This must prove a serious blow to Lord LIVERPOOL'S theory : but as the disappointed physician in Zadig consoled himself, and endeavoured to support his profes sional reputation, by proving most satisfactorily that a patient who recovered from the effect► of is severe accident in the eye ought to have lost the sight of the orb, so we doubt not mill the Noble Lord skew most incontestably that pros perity ought never to revisit this land, so long as the industry of its inhabitants, or the bounteous liberality of an indulgent Providence shrill cause its produce, physical or artificial, to exceed the wants of the consumers. To our own minds nothing can offer at more satisfactory reason for the incipient amelioration in the condition of the industrious parts of the community than the low prices of pro visions, operating at the same time with the happy restoration of our metallic currency. Labour has, by the reduced prices of provisions and the im proved worth of the circulating medium, increased amazingly in value, and those who depend for their subsistence and comforts upon their Industry alone have had their condition proportionally improved. The prices of labour will now support a labouring man and his family even at the present rate of wages, and of this the lauded interests are the first to feel the advantage, for not only is the price of labour much less than it was during the war, but the poor's rates have been recently very considerably diminished. There ad vantages are equivalent to a direct reduction of an Nun! amount of parliamentary taxation, but they are indirectly atterided with effects far more favour able to the general welfare of the community, for every man elevated from the debasement of re ceiving parochial support, not only ceases to be a burden, but becomes at the instant an active con tributor towards promoting the general stock of social prosperity.

The arrival in the Sionmer p.icket of Baron STURMLEII, the Austrian Ambassador; Chevalier de lisascs, the Russian Ambassador; and Baron de WALTER, the Prussian Ambassador, the two former accompanied by their Ladies, has given rise to se veral rumours. It is affirmed that they left Lisbon consequence of the tumultuous disposition ma nifested by the Portuguese army : according to smother report, the three Ambassadors had sailed for this country in consequence of an insult having been offered to the Austrian Amlsicassulor. Both these accounts are, we believe, unfounded; for we team, on inquiry, that the persons shove named are those who represented their several Courts in the Brazils, but who were ordered to tense Rio Janeiro with the KING, and come over with him in the royal squadron to Portngal.

N no AI. * "—NM Slam) One he surprised that the legendary lore of Swede's sbeald be se little knew, to the reel of Europe; for, although it I. a country lees explored by travellers than say other so far adraaead in eivilisatioe, them I. a penetrating spirit in po pular poetry, that usually gambles it I. make its way, under every disadvantage. The inaiiinsts in the following tale are likes from au old Swedish. ballad, &minded os a superstition comma in as. eieet times to that country and our own; the mythology of both amities howbeit peopled the interior of their mountains with a powerful, vindictive, and mysterious race—objects always of terror, and sometimes of unwary love, but usually fatal to those by whom 4hey were not sedulously shinnied. " Open, open, green hill, and let a fair maid in," with the subsequent admittance of the damsel, according to her invo cation, in one of our nursery-tales, is evidently akin to the fate of Isabel. THE MOUNTAIN KING. She beard the bell toll, and went forth at the dawn— It is not to matins the maiden is gone: The mother believes that her child went to pray— No prayer did fair Isabel utter that day. Where, through the grey twilight, did Isabel go ? •las ! to the mountains wish helmets of snow, Mow dirk brows seem to frown o'er the laurel and rose Tbat no lovingly under their shadows repose. On the highest of hills did fair Isabel rest, — Her delicate Angers have tsppedat its breast; Rise, King of the mountains! unbar thy green door, I have seen thee iu dreams ! I must see thee ones mote."— " Cease, Isabel, cease! I refuse for thy sake; Thst maid is my bride who behold@ me awake : And some cruel infi dime the Fates ever bring To her who espouses the pale Mouistsia-king."— Let my fate be the darkest thy caverns have seen, I will brave all its horror* to move as thy Queens Then rise ! Mountain-monarch! unbar thy green door, I must gaze on thy terrible beauty once more."— The lightning flsah'd blue, and the thunder spoke load, The sun was obscured by en ominous cloud ; The doors of the mountain, in darkness and storm, Flew open—and closed over Isabel's form. In a palace of splendour, received me a Queen, A rich robe is clasp'd round her by handmaids unseen; And the gems of her crown are selected to vie With her sunshine of smile, and her soul-speaking eye. Sweet voices, responsive, breathe softly around, And pour on her name all the treasures of sound— Now harmoniously blending, stow pearly and bright, Falls each delicate note, like a drop of pure light. Now they linger and fade, like a lover's last sigh, And now the full chorus floats proudly on high, Where, like Iris in Cue, shedding odours divine, Lamps motorised with perfumes eternally shine. But the wild rush of hope that check'd Isabel's breath Closed her ear to soft tunes, like the dull ear of death ; And she msrk'd not the splendour that glitter'd around, Her eye sought but one object—her ear bet sound. 'Twos a moment, no more—yet seem'd ages to fleet, Fee the pale Mountain-monarch sppesr'd at her feet; He knelt at her feet, and lie whisprr'd soft vows— Words, man dare not utter, have made her his spouse. His subjects are thronging with look, of surprise, And fix un her face their Inquisitive eyes; They drew near with respect, yet she meet them with awe, For a likeness in each to their monarch she saw. And wb ee she turned, some lines were impress'd Of the visage imprinted so deep in her breast; So sweetly majestic—so mildly severe— That her tremulous love often thrill'd into fear. But he calms her in whispers, sod gems her dark hair With treasures, and wonders—the beauteous—the tare— Sought in darkest recesses of desolate eaves, Paved with jasper, and tweed with deep-flowing waves. Her life one smooth ocean of boundless repose, Without chauce, change, or time, like eternity shews, Save that eight smiling infants successively shine, Flashing star after star, in their beauty divine. When she drank the deep love of their fathomless eyes, Peeling Heaves% own breath in their infautine sighs, These itteffahle stirrings of nature awaken The deepest remorse fur a mother forsaken. In the full tide of passion dial Isabel Bang Her fair form at the feet of the pale Mountain-Iday.. • " A buoa from my lord moil my husband I crave, Let me kiss mitred mother, or weep o'er her grave." " Then go to thy mother—in sadness bereft, But say not • word of the babes thou hart left."—.. Soon was Isabel liick'd in a parent's embrace, And the tears of forgiveness fell fast on her face. " Oh! remain, my lost bird, in the haunts of thy youth, Nor again flee the precincts of honour and troth ; Though the gardens of Error are perfumed with lowers The adder and snake lie cureceard in her bowers." " With the blushes asinine had her cheek ever bared, To her home bsd fair Isabel never rettorn'd; By the King of the Mountain, selected as Queen, The truest and fondest of wives have I bees. " In his realms neither sorrow nor sickness appear—.l had nearly forgot—alumni lowg'd fur—a tear; And our bridal is blest by the bounty of Heaven— I have one peerless daughter —my suss they ate seven." Then strode o'er the threshold the pale Mountain-king " Why Blandest thou here, thus presuming to Bing Such aspersions on me as I neer can forgive' The revealer of secrets d not to live." " Nu aspersions on thee have these lips ever thrown, I have dwelt on thy hive awl thy kindness alone." Thou hest meuttou'd the babes with thy vegetating breath, Thou fool! that vain boast lass coudesmed them to death. " Forewern`d, thou bast broken the merciful spell That permits in our palace those children to dwell, Whose existence has never been whisper'] on earth— ! accursed the hour I rejoiced in their birth !" Then he struck her fair face as she knelt at his feet— " Oh! the death-blow," she cried, " from tby hauds will be sweet! Since the deep chords of love thins mysteriously thrill, While I suffer iu patieuce resigai'd to thy will." " In this ill-fated mansion no more shalt thou stay, Where thy crime, was committed : away! then—away!" " Farewell, my dear father; farewell, my fond mother! Farewell, weeping sister ! foreseen, inlaid brother ! a Farewell, ye high Heavens! farewell, thou green earth! And farewell, thou sweet home, the dear place of my birth ! For the King of the mountains I left ye before, And fur bum, in his anger, I leave ye once more." • Horrid laughter appears in the hlousrch's dark face, While nine circles around the tall mountain they trace-- Alai the tears on fair Isabel's bosom fell fast, As smaller each circle became than the last. The glad sun in the blue depths of heaven shone bright As she gaspingly sought the last ray of its fight; Her young daughter beheld her with terror o'eresst— " Oh, mottos', dear mother! repose thee at last. a Beneath this gold canopy lay thy pale head, Where cushions of crimson profusely I've spread." " My child ! give me wane—bring the cup of my death— Then close my sad eyelids—receive my last breath." " A more tender farewell thy poor soother would take, But fears, my sweet daughter ! tby young heart %would break." She drank—and to ice a more warm heart - was ebill'd, 'Flom by love's richest treasures had ever been fill'd. Thus from home and from happiness Isabel stray'd And thus the pale Monarch her passing repaid; Like a hly she mink when a pitiless shower Has unsparingly beat on the delicate flower. i.. M. A. I.

He first scene I . lMeisred the entire and respectful suffrages of the audience. Her style is allied to tenderness, and she is most seeceesfel in the milder feminine pss sions ; not that she wanted spirit or intelligence in the more arduous junctures, as in the two scenes where she urges Juliet to the confes sion of the conspiracy, where she displayed considerable fire and sensibility. The (suer scenes had rather too much of the debility of im passioned grief mixed with them, and the in fluence of a fond wife's embraces was somewhat too frequently and confidently put in experiment on the temper of her husband. With a alight ab breviation in these particulars, the performance will take rank with that of any female tragedian at present on the stage. Her mad scene exhibited emo tions of deep interest. She is rumoured to have been even more excellent and promising at rehearsal than in her public performance. Therefore, though she has already woo golden opinions of the audience, it would be great injustice to her if we did not sti pulate in our present remarks for a larger credit with the reader on her behalf than this description of her would seem to claim. The uproar of ap plause which succeeded the death scene was inde scribably loud and overwhelming, insomuch that the Managers, deferring to the declared sense of the house, have put off the entertainments prepared for to-night, and the tragedy was given out for repeti tion with loud will universal accordance. Mr. Cott - WAY sustained the part of Jollier in • manner which will serve to maintain his high reputation. His acknowledgments of treachery to Pierre on the various occasions, were the most distinguished and original parts of his performance, being given with the voluntary and Penitent humiliation of • once noble though fallen nature. Mr. TERRY was original for the evening, as he performed Pierre, we believe, for the first lime before a London au dience. Since his celebrated Veniidius, in An tony and Cleopatra, he has not been seen to so much advantage. He exhibited the quaint and daring spirit of that alluring conspirator with pe culiar force and expression. The play was well sustained throughout, as the anxious interest of a very crowded house, relieved by incessant peals of applause, plainly testified. Some cu rious commentaries occurred on the text in the early part of Pierre's dialogue. The galleries, hearing Pierre talk of a Senate which cheated "the deluded people with a thew of liberty they .e'er mast taste of," applauded very loudly. Again, when he talks of the same Senate driving them -" Like wrecks down the rough tide of power, " While no hold's left to save es front destruction;" and on several similar occasions they repeated their plaudits—probably in their heedlessness forgetting that the description had nothing to do in word or deed with the affair. of their own .So far there was nothing more in it than has been frequer.tly witnessed on the representation of this _play—when the popular zeal has been Auietly suffered to expend its •force in • little -Ur this harmless sort of spite. But a few booby coxcombs thought good to set up an opposition to this, and enter into a controverref noise and uproar with the galleries upon the disputed passages. Some hisses were heard which •had the of of combining almost all the house :iii one sedulous and triumphant concord of applauses. There must be some motive fur such conduct as that which we have described. That which is the most easily attributable is the supposition that • the hissers thought that they were e►incing their loyalty by de fending the State from asperon. But of what a remarkable species is their allegiance, when they can from passion and ignorance suffer themselves to be drawn into an inference that they consider the description of that vile and (Sellout; system of mis rule, nick-named the Republic of Venice. to be in any way applicable to the Government of these kingdoms! This is another, though trifling proof, how much danger the Ad 'striation of the State has to contend with in the vile eagerness of self appointed supporters. SOUTHAMPTON.

A .x 'A Slit—An article appeared a few days ago in your Paper, respecting an inquest held on the body of a person drowned while bathing in the Serpentine River, at four o'clock ass Sunday ; wherein it appears, that ■pplicatios having been made at the receiviig•horse, in II yde Park, a boat and drags were refused, and that thereby the unfortunate ma, as might be supposed, loot the small chance that remained for baying his life preserved. The Committee of this Society, having required an explanation from the Park-keeper, at whose house the application was made, it appears that the accident did not occar at firer o'clock on Sunday, but at eleven o'clock on Saturday night, at which time it was very dark; that the place where the body was supposed to be was 600 yards distant, at the opposite side of the river; that the Medical Attendant of the Society had left the receiving-house, as usual, at ten o'clock; that all she Park gates bad been closed by a particular order from Lord Sydney; nod that there being nu man in the house but the Park-keeper, then an invalid, and in bed, and who is in so way cuunected with, nor under the control of the Society, his wife, who was awakened by the applicants, was afraid to open the door to two strangers, and wan uawilhng to consign the boat sod drags into the hands of persons unaccustomed to their use, at that unseasonable hour, without any hope of success, on account of the darkness of the night, the distance and un certainty of the spot, and the length of time the body most already have been in the water. The great care and expense bestowed by the Society in rendering more safe this otherwise very dangerous river,have been productive of the happiest r tette : fur although there may have happened an accident like the above, arising from the manifest imprudence of bathing alone at an unseasonable hour in a river abounding with cold springs, yet the success of the preventive and eestorative memos adopted by the So ciety in that quarter, is a subject of the highest gratification to the Committee. During the whole of last winter's frost, oat a single individual was drowsed; sod deriver the pre sent bathing season, several have been snatched Gum the most imnriiisert danger, and restored to their friends. A medi cal atteudasst ritmaies till tee o'clock every eight at the re ceiving house, where the most appropriate apparatus, and remedies are kept in constant readiness.
