Wt have the pleasure to state, that the harvest in this neighbourhood is now completely gathered in : the crops are large, and the grain of the first quality. Such fine harvest weather, during the last three months, cannot be remembered. The ground is very dry, and the roads intole;ably dusty. Mush wheat is already sown in the vicinity of Witlington, Walbottle, Newborn, &c. On Monday sennight, a poor man, brevet to Mr. Guthery, Nag's Head Inn, Gateshead, New castle (notwithstanding he had taken the precaution to lay hold of a rope for his security), while in the ad of removing a pump from the copper, unfor tunately.fell into the boiling vessel ; though he had strength enough to extricate himself by means of the rope, he tainted the moment he got out,' was carried home, ani died the day following in the greatest agony. The following ludicrous scene actually took place a short time ago :—A Seedsman, in the neighbour hood of Thames-street, having been chosen Church warden of an adjoining parish, was called upon by the Organist,. who had the misfortune to be blind, for the :payment of sl. being the amount of a quarter's salary ; and addressing himself to the shopman—" I come," says he, " for 'a quarter's salary."—" You eannot have a quart of celery," feplied the shupman. "It is not our custom to serve it by the quart, Sir."—" I am sorry for it, indeed," rejoins the Organist, " I have always been accustomed to receive it in that way, and it will put me to much inconvenience to alter the plan ; and it surely cannot be a great objed to. your Shopman, not knowing how to pro_ coed, informed his master, who accused him of having made some blunder, and came himself to right the business. " Friend," says the new_made Churchwarden, " what amount of celery did you *ay you wanted ?" " Five pounds, Sir,"— " There, John," says the Seedsman, " I told you it would turn out, one of your blunders—nothing c . m he more clear ; put up the Gentleman five pounds of celery.' l —Tle Shopman having finished the job, waSs very politely proceeding to place the parcel un er blind' man's arm, who, wondering at the circumstance, could not help crying, "What are o u at now, friend ?" " Why, only giving you the ;! , s. of celery," says the Shopman.---" What the replies the impatient Organist, " is it all LONDON : Prtrzeyil by B • At the SuN.OFFIc REY QUARTER-SESSIONS. MottriAy the Adjourned Quarter Sessions for surrey were held at the New Sessions House, in Horsemonger.lane, Southwark. James Bailey and john Carpenter, two. Journey :men Shipwrights, were indieled fot assaulting Robert Howard, on the zzd of June :.there was another in diament.against them for assaulting John Cox, on the same day, in the parish of Deptford. Mr. Mattatotr said, that the Defendants stood indiaed for a most violent assault on the proS&u_ tors, who were, like themselves, Shipwrights r they were in the employ of Messrs. Randall and Brent ; and, it would• be remembered, that an alarming Combination had ~ t aken place among the journey men,. most of whothrliall refused to work ; the Pro secutors, howevetywere-an , "6xteption, and lot this reason the Defendants -had determined to ill-treat them. He then stated the manner in which the assault was made, and sail that the presentprosecu-' tion was in fast carried on by . Mr. Brent, the sur . Viving partner _of Mr, —Randall, who conceived ir to public justice, and as an example to those in_ the same line of life, to deter them from forming Combinations, which, in a commercial cOun. try, and more especially when they were formed by Shipwrights, must prove ruinous and destruaive.— He had no doubt when the Jury were in- pog,ession of the evidence, they would be.satisfied of the De fendants' guilt, and assign theta to receive that punishnlent they so well merited. John Cox deposed, that on the evening of the 22d of June, as he was going home from the Yard of Messrs. Randall and Co. in company with Robert Howard and Henry Chapman, he received .infOrma. - tion, that a large body of Sawyers were posted at the door of the Britannia public.house, at Deptford ; being alarmed at this, they agreed to go down a lane before they came to the publie.bouse, to it';oid them : they. accordingly went down the • lane, but had not gone far when they saw several of them running round to meet them. Carpenter was the first who came up, and he immediately began to put himself in an •attitude to fight, cryin g out, " D---n your eyes, we have been waiting for you.". He then asked the Witness if he did riot belong to Messrs. Randall's Yard, and was answered, No. _ Bailey then came up, and several others and 'Bailey struck him a violent blow with a stick,- which knocked him down ;- this was rowed -several times, and at length he was Perinitte'd to go, upon his promise that he would not work for Messrs. Randall. The evidence of Robert Howard, on the other indidment, was nearly similar to that delivered by Cox. He had been knocked down four times. 'On his crOss-examination, he admitted that he had for given the Defendants for their ill conduCt. The _Tury pronounced them both guilty.- _ . . The Chairman sentenced them both to ,be im prisoned for the term of ore year, and observed, that if any Shipwrights were in Court, he hoycd this sentence would have the proper effect, as it was necessary to }rut a stop to Combinations of every kind, in Order to protect the commerce of the • country. A Prussian Merchant of : .the name of Ambrose Crow, was indifted for assaulting Hannah An. droyde, and two children, 'the daughters of a Major Stuart. The Counsel for the Prosecution opened the case with considerable feeling, and by pointing to the children (than whom we never sati two more beautifully interesting) stating, that they had both been severely hurt, and one so much so as to be un able to walk for several days, by the unprovoked violence of the Defendant. Hatmah Androyde deposed, that on the ztst of Kay she Was walking with the children in Surrey_ square, when she saw a mob collated, and the De. fendant anti his brother engaged in a quarrel with sonic young men, against whom she heard they had drawn their knives. She got out of the way, and while she was speaking of the circumstance to a woman who lived within a door or two of the De fendant, the Defendant's wife began to abuse her out of a one-pair of stairs window ; she desired her to desist from using such language to one who was as good as she was, and was walking away. On her returning back upon the Terrace, the Defendant ordered her to go home; which'she said she should not do until she thought proper; upon which he dirally shoved her with much violence off the Terrace into the road, which is between two and three feet high. Though greatly alarmed, she was not much hurt, and on her regaining the Terrace, in order to get to the children, she, together with both of them, was again thrown into the rand by the Defendant, with so much force, as. to lay herself and the two children on their faces in the dirt. A Gentleman then came to her assistance, and she went home. The eldest of the young Ladies had received so violent a strain on her back as to render her incapable of walking for several days, and the other was much hurt in the leg. A Mr. Roberts, who was accidentally passing through Surrey square, saw the transaaion, and went up to proteEt the Pro secutrix from any further injury, and on her telling him to whom the children belonged, he felt it his duty to go home with them (though unknown to Major Stuart), and explain his knowledge of the affair to the father. Two or three women who saw the business, cot roborated the evidence given by the Prosecutrix, and Major Stuart himself said, one of his children had. been so strained as not to be able to walk, and the young woman, who had lived upwards of six years in his family, from being so much alarmed, had been confined to her bed for several days, -Mr. MARRIOTT cross-examined Major Stuart with much severity, and we were sorry to hear some family questions put for which there was no necessity. The Defendant attempted to prove provocation on the part of the .Prosecutrix, by her having used abusive language t'o his wife: He was, however, found Guilty, and ordered (which was th,Nsole objetti of the Prosecution) to give security, himself in 2001. 'and two Sureties in tool. - each, to keep the peace during his natural life ; to be fined 61. Bd. and to, he detained in custody until such Sureties as the Court approved of were produced, 7 cHA N N 1,1.. k N, f,ot Bow-Street, enYent-Gardem; and Publtslic:t t)y WILL tAm ARMICER SCR !PPR, tc,/* South M 0 i s N. ttz, Straviii; whtre A r isyltiwarntr, Ord.-.1 for gv...

A case of some importance to the Commercial World was tried this day. ' .A man of the name of Cowen, together with his son, and jams Lewin, were indiaed for forcibly entering the premises of Marcus. Hayman, in the parill of Bermondsey. There were five counts in the : indiettnent--first, for forcibly entering the pre mises; and secondly, for a riotous and tumultuous assembling, : to the alarm of the. neighbours, : and in violation of the King's peace ; the other counts chprging them. , ,vith asoa4lts, &c. •From the •evidence kiiiren by Marcus layman, it appeared,•'tha't 'hiniself,' the Defendant Cowen the elder, and a , :than of the name of Swarti, who had absconded, were in partnership in the ..manu fa&uring of -Spanish leather. That he, Hayman, prior to !the commencement of the business, hired certain premises in Bermondsey, for the purpose of carrying on the trade ; that on 'the aBth of. May last, the Defendants had forcibly entered the pre mises, of which he claimed the right of exclusive possession, and breaking open the locks- of sundry places, had taken away a large quantity of skins, Rrc. and had so much impaired and damaged the premises as to cost him Sol. to get them put in a proper state John Osterman deposed, he was a servant in the _ concern ; and that on the day named in the in didtnent, a man with a waggon and three horses knocked at the gate, who said he came by the di reaion of Mr. Cowen to take away the skins. — The Witness said he should not allow any thing to• be taken ofF the premises, unless Mr. Hayman was present. About - seven o'clock the same : evening Mr. Cowen obtained entrance by a back way, and forcibly 'opened the gate, by which means the other two Defendants' got in ; that he refused to assist Cowen in removing any of the goods. Shortly after which, between twenty, and thirty Soldiers, &c. came in, and were encouraged and direded by Cowen to load the_ cart :with. the skins, &c. That he in the first instance atterripted to prevent their 'going up into the warehouse, for Which he was 'assaulted ' by the younger COwen. On his cross-examination he confessed he co n side re d • himself as much the servant of Cowen as of Hay man; that he understood them to be Partners, and had received wages from each of them. John Wicks gave a similar evidence, but being entrusted with the key of the dying-room,. which they broke open, he told Cowen, that in removing the skins while in that unfinished state, they would not only be spoiled, but that they were 'liable to seizure, from not having the King's mark on them. He also considered Cowen, as a Joint Master with the others. Some Witnesses who lived in the neighbourhood were called.to prove the riot, and the alarm which suchan:assemblao- b e of people colle&ed together had occasioned ; and the Landlord who lett the premises to Hayman proved his- having 'paid the rent for them; but it. turned out he had also received a por tion of the. rent from Cowen. Mr. IVlAtuttoTT here - addressed the Court for the Defendants, and submitted whether the first counts in the Indietment hicrnot failed, as there was no evidence of. any riot having been committed ; and that with respect} to the forcible entry, the Wit: nesses for the Prosecution had Completely proved the joint-possession, and it was a knoWn Let, -that a man, could not make a forcible entry upon his own premises. He should, if the Court thought with hiM, that the principal charges in the India_ ment had not in the least been proved, not call any witnesses, though he was in possession of evi dence to prove, that all the money. (to .a consi derable amount) advanced, had been advanced by Cowen, and that it was in consequence of his hav ing received intimation, at several different' times, that the two Partners, Hayman and Swartz, were carrying the skins off the Prem4es as fast as they were finished, he had had recourse to taking away what was left, which had been seized by the Ex cise ; but on a proper representation being made to the. Board were given up; finished, and the duty paid. he CHAIRMAN told the Jury he agreed with the Learned Counsel, that - the 'first charges- 'lad in- no way been proved, as the premisesand property were as much. belonging to Mr. Cowen as to Hayman.— The Jury accordingly found film Nst G dilty. • , We mentioned on Saturday, that at the late Barn.. staple fair, a gang. of pickpockets were very adive ; and that amongst the sufferers was Mr. Higman, of Crediton, who lost his pocket-book, containing drafts and bills to the amount of t c Si. Next day two men, supposed to belong to the same gang, were seen at Crediton fair, and had -nearly picked - the pocket of a farmer < who had just received 40 guineas .or sheep : as the farmer had the good for tune to- save his cash, he suffered them to escape ; but afraid of being ;rpprehended, they took horses, and rode off towards Somerset. As soon as Mr. Higman heard of this, he set, out for Taunton, and next morning, on his- return, about a' mile from Taunton, he met a suspicious person on a :small poney. On questioning him about Barn.taple fair, mid asking him if he was not there, he gave evasive answers, and alighted ; but Higman sec.ired him. Two of Major \Vane's Yeomanry Cavalry passing by, they conveyed him to Taunton. On him were found a Weymouth, a Trowbridge, and sonic other small bills, with about four guineas and sorry si ver. A suspicion arose that he might havedropped'some. thing, on, which search was immediatel7 mode, and on the very spot was .found a draft for 30 1 . which Higman has sworn to• He is committed to Wil ton gaol for further examination he says his name is William Brown, of Not iingiimn, aboar 30 ye at, of age : his left hand "appears to have been cut o scalded, as his fingers are much crooked. He rode a small chesnut • policy mare; about twelve •hands high, tour years old, - - small blaze down her fore head. G YR E following whimsical Panegy-rit. on a' (.77,-.n -tleman lately deceased. in . Scotland, is extiattei from an Edinburgh Newspaper : . Died lately, at Blanern, Berwickshire„, afler painful. lingering illness of twenty-two nao)ths, John,Lumsdain, Esq. of Blanern. We rnsan net in the foll Owing short sketch to speak of his birth, ;41- , though -well born on both sides of tLe house.; nor of his fortunes, though cotnpetent, and descending to him from a long series of reputable ancestotc, • noticed in the Border Annali; but we *mean s.) speak. of those accomplishments which discln guislaed him from other men, his warrior like per son, his gentle manners,'and his taste and disposi- tieMs'tempered between these qualifications of mind and person. . _ Nature had endowed him witVit'majestie farm, deep sonorous voice, expressive lineaments of court ter.ance, and limbs so well proportioned as to be stow all the agility of slenderness, notwithstandiug .a height of six feet four inches, and proportionable: bulk. ThiS bodily conformation gaiie hint an early delight, and qualified him to excel! in the sports of the field, and the pleasures of the table, and con neded him with the most spirited, best. born.,and bred, and most enterprising young men of the.times. In their company Mr. Lumsdain was festive in his manners, and martial in his looks, and t•o a statuary in quest of forms, might have been a model for Counts or Mars. This masculine exterior was ad mirably well tempered with an exquisitely sensitive softness of disposition, and an 'equanimity wl):_eh is Was i not easy to disturb. In consequence of the former, he possessed great sensibility . of the corporeal beauty, and other more delicate, and at times, perh a p s , fanciful charms of the fair sek, though never to such , bewitching de, gree as to degenerate into extravagance. No Man in . his time was niore beloved- by them than him, and even when years might have shook the judge's stafout Of his hand, it was 'an indisputable title to excellence among the Females of Scotland, to status upon the list of his toasts. In his deportment to wards them he . was impeachable, and ailet spend ing a long life in their service, with no less pleasure to them than himself, he has 'retired without trans gressing, we need not.say_the laws of honour, but not even the dictates of delicacy aiici-gobil lifezding• - In his intercourse with men, lieriever . forgoc him self so far, even in the hour, of frolic, as to eN ceed propriety. He elethically felt every such trans greSSiOn in others, especially where notdirc;:ted against himself, and where personal, any atonement disarmed him. Though educated to . business, - he Steered clear of the contraeted notions, and narrow circle of acquaintance, that then bound in fetters professional men. He alighted at the l'arliament house from his hunter, awl -after dining with bis soberer civil brethren, passed the evening with litary- men, or persons of learning and science, and by this freedom from'slavish res tra i nts , en l arge d his variety of pleasure, and knowledge of men. Such was the engagement to him from the smooth ness and pliancy of his manners, and leditude of bss heart, and such the conciliation his presence caused alone, 'that we believe he died without a personal quarrel, or concealed enemy, and without a Sa suit of moment. :He extinguished by Ms rnorleri; tion many differences among his•neighbours, held so. high a place in the general esteem, that it would'haire betrayed a consciousness of a bid cause to have refused his interposition as arbiter. When public measures heated the country, f • -:c pacified the altercations of parties, and recalled t•' combatants to a more dispassionate aiscuision of the case. To conclude, we may instance in John Lurn4.' dain, a man whom females, frivolity, and town lif;:p could not effeminate ; labour and sports of the Lida , and vulgar intercourse, could not vitiate ; tion not corrupt ; •conviviality besot'; or kick** ship betray into deceit. • We lament that he has not left issue to petpe tuate those virtues of his heart, and be to our chil dren and grand children what he has been to o'.2' fathers and our elves, SNIP NE fr: .
