The past week brought another very large supply of foreign Wheat and Oats to market, but not much English Corn. This morning the quantity of home-grown Corn is inconsiderable, but the market is full of foreign sam , - pies. Notwithstanding the heavy rain to-day, the prices of Wheat remain as Vast week, the only effort at present being to prevent a reduction in value. ° Barley is scarce and unaltered. Beans are- dull, and Is. per quarter cheaper. Pease have no variation. The Oat trade is so very heavy, except for stout parcels, that to make sales less prices must he taken. There is not much doing in the Flour trade, and prices are unvaried. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) —s. —s. White (old) —s. —s. -- Red (1828) Fine Ms. 60s. Superfine.. 645. 70s.

A new production of Signor Rossim's lyric pen, under the title of Guillaume Tell, is now attracting the musical woad of Paris to the Academie Royale, and has become the all-absorbing theme of conversation in the philharmonic circles of that capital. It is a kind of melo dramatic opera, extended to no less than four acts, and appears to combine a greater share of accessories in scenery, decorations, and choregraphic exhibitions, than has been added to any similar spectacle brought out at the same theatre, under the comprehensive denomination of Grand Opera. The music is spoken of as being of a very distin guished character.—Morning Paper. New— The performances at the Salle Favart on Wednes day last were The Stranger and the fourth act of The Merchant of .Venice. Mrs. West, who took the character of Airs. Haller, was assailed through out the piece by tbe most obstinate hissing, which the applause of the rest could not sub•ltv.. In the third act, says the French writer, the trembling Mrs. Haller fell at the feet of the Countess, less overcome by her painful confessions than by the ungenerous usage of the audience. The two ladies then re tired, and Mr. AbBOT, who had not sustained any part in the piece, came forward and addressed the house (a improvise) in the French language:— " Gentlemen, I come to make an appeal to French gallantry and generosity,"—(Loud applause.) NinitEnotis VoteES---" The hisses are neither French nor English, they are the canaille." Mr. AIMOT—" You have witnessed our first essays with much indulgence; you will not, I trust, refuse to hear an actress, who endured so much suffering in order that the performance might not be interrupted.—(Prolonged plaudits.)—Re member, I pray you, that our companion is a stranger and a female." ENGLISH THEATRE IN PARIS, This address in a great measure prevailed. A Brussels Paper says that an Englishman performed the journey from London to Paris for the express purpose of hissing Mrs. West. . MURDER IN NORFOLK. A man named Richard Scott was committed to Norwich Castle a few days ago, charged with the murder of James Freeman. This dreadful occur- rence took place on Saturday afternoon, in the pa rish of Carleton Rode, near Higham, under the fol lowing deplorable circumstances :—lt appears that Scott, in whose family insanity is said to have pre vailed, went on Friday morning last into the Queen's Head public-house, at Barnwell, and there alarmed the landlady by his wild looks and violent behaviour, striking his hand with great force on the table in the kitchen, and exclaiming at the same time, " Look, there is the devil ; I can see him." The man after wards, on leaving the public-house, went to his own residence, in:Carletoratode, and there repeated simi lar acts of frenzy. On the following morning (Sa turday) Scott went to a surgeon, to be bled, and on his return, after having had the operation performed on him, he accidentally met, on the public road, the unfortunate James Freeman, a man of eighty years of age, who had been walking that morning from the county gaol, whence he was discharged, after a short imprisonment for some minor offence. Scott no sooner approached the poor old man than he, mad man-like, cried out, " here is the devil 1" and in stantly aimed a blow at him with a large stick, which felled Freeman to the ground. The wretched maniac then, with repeated blows, fractured the skull of his victim in a dreadful manner, and speedily put an end to his existence.. This murderous at tack happened to be seen by a person, who ran to the place, and seized hold of Scott, who yielded up both the deadly weapon and himself without resist ance; and with the aid of other persons he was con veyed to his own cottage, and there kept in close custody. His behaviour when there was compara tively tranquil, but his language was of the same in coherent and distempered cast as before; and in consequence of the strong muscular effort which he had recently exerted with such fatal effect, the vein that had been opened in his arm burst out a f res h, and he was reduced to a state of great weakness and exhaustion by loss of blood. A Coroner's In quest having been held on the body of the deceased, after the facts of the case had been adduced in evi dence, a verdict was returned by the Jury, of Wil ful Murder against Richard Scott, and he was forthwith committed to the Castle at Norwich.— Norwich Gazette. AWFUL AND DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) ABERDEEN, AUGUST s.—Since the great storms in 1799 and 1812, no similar visitation has happen ed in this quarter, that could at all be compared to the deluge of Monday last. The wind blew chiefly from N. and N. N. W. and the rain fell in torrents during the whole day, and the greatest part of the succeeding night; extending along the line of the Moray Firth, and over the whole of this and the adjoining counties. The consequence has been the flooding of the rivers, streams, and burns of the dis tricts, to a degree that is but too fatally evinced by the scenes of devastation and mischief that mark their course. In the river Dee the rising of the water was first perceptible on Monday afternoon, about four o'clock, from which hour it continued to increase till a late hour on Tuesday morning, when it had attained an elevation of about eight feet above its ordinary level, and in some confined places not less than 12 feet; and the quantity of water dis charged by it may be estimated from the fact, that at the time of dead low water, the whole expanse of our harbour NI, as filled to the height of an ordi nary spring -tide. A similar rise took place in the Don, the Ury, and the Deveron. It was lament able to see the multitude of sheep and lambs, and the quantity of timber, hay, straw, &c. which floated through the harbour yesterday into the sea, and were lost. The damage over the whole district must have been equally great. One of the most disastrous. effects of the flood that we have hitherto heard of, is the destruction of the beautiful suspen sion bridge at Charleston, recently erected by Lord Aboyne. At the bridge of Dee, the old road was entirely covered; and from Mr. Blaikie's house to the farm of Kemhill, on the north side, was one continued sheet of water, the flood rising to within a foot or two of the present turnpike. The ship ping in the harbour suffered no damage. The water of Feugh rose so as to cover the Bridge, but with the exception of carrying away a part of the parapet, it did no other damage. The aspect of this mountain stream, when at its height, was singularly awful arid grand. The Don along its whole course exhibited the picture of a fright. ful inundation. All that part of the Garioch which borders it and the Ury, was one broad expanse of water. In the town of Kintore, such was the height of the stream that a boat was made use of to effect a communication between the houses; and farther down at the Bridge of Dyce, the whole low grounds were flooded; and on the turnpike road the top of the top of the toll-gate was barely visible. We are sorry to learn that, in attempting to cross the burn at Bridg►end of Monymusk, on horseback, Mr. William Williamson, flesher, George-street, was unfortunately carried off, and drowned. The horse was taken out, a little way down the stream, quite dead. Since writing the above, we have seen the intelli gent guard of the Duke of Gordon coach, who has just returned from Huntly, beyond which place he could not proceed yesterday, and brought back the coach with difficulty to Aberdeen. He gives a very fearful picture of the state of the country, and of the destruction of crop, the breaking up of roads, and the demolition of bridges. From all these circumstances, we begin to fear that the full extent of this calamity is not yet known. WM. FORMAN, Esq. of Pennydarran-place, Glamorganshire, who died a short time back at his house on Cumberland-terrace, in the Regent's Park, was, until his death, a partner with the present Loan MAYOR. He generally resided at Merthyr Tidvill, where the largest manufactory of iron in this kingdom, with the exception of the works of CRAWSIIAY and Co., is carried on. He was likewise greatly concerned in the highly respectable and extensive commercial house at Drapers' Hall, Upper Thames-street, under the firm of THOMPSON, FORMAN, and Son. The LORD MAYOR derived a great portion of his wealth from his uncle, who, with Mr. FORMAN, ori ginally established the works in Wales, and at a period when the same iron which at present sells for six or seven pounds per ton, sold for eighteen or twenty pounds. Mr. FORMAN was a gentleman of the highest honour in all his mercantile transactions, a kind and affectionate husband, and an excellent father. He was buried in the Tower, where, during the war, he was at the head of a lucrative establishment, SPORTING INTELLIGENCI.

MURDER IN PIMLICO. On Saturday afternoon an Inquest was held at the King's Arms, the body of Ann I la. rit:, aged 31, who was by being thrown me a a window t v a man with whom she coha named Michael ketii.e'ily. John Southttwood, beadle of Pimlico; on Thurs day night ; about eleven o'clock, waa accosted by some females in Queen-street, who desired him to be oh the alert that evening, as a man ha(4 threaten ed to murder Mrs. Carter, of the Orange-street Coffee=honse, and draw her like a goose," and also that he would ill treat his wife. 'Witt - ins re plied, that a man might clittste his Ivife if she de , 6erVei it. Bet Ween four and five it the morning ; Weeks, a ttdtchma:n, reported at the watch-house that a man had thrown rile rqfe ent of a window in King-street. Witness went to the heittse, where he F p,w the deceased lying on a bed, and Kenneth' king fly Iler aide, Mrs. Myers, the landlady of the house, asked the di:ceased what had happened, and she replied, " Oh ! father did it; he first ill used me, anti then threw me out of windoiti." slie,re peated this, and added, " So help me God." ken: nedy said to her, " Don't tell a lie ; if you do you will not go to heaven, where they make horses' shoes." Kennedy appeared perfectly sober. The Woman expired about half an hour after; A few minutes before she died, Kennedy charged her with being frequently drunk, and said she would soon recover, and he'd make her answer for it. Weeks, a watchman, about three o'clock in the morning, heard loud cries of " Murder," and " Watch," and proceeding to the place, he found the deceased lying on the pavement in her chemise. Kennedy opened a window ott the second floor; and said, "Is that my Nance—is she going to bring me into trouble again ?" He then came down and dragged her up stairs by the arms, saying, " Nothing is the matter with you." She appeared quite in sensible. Jane Myers, the landlady, was alarmed by the watchman, and looking out of her window, saw the deceased on the ground. She confirmed the evi dence of the first witness, as to the declarations of the deceased, that Kennedy had done it; and added, that the deceased said, " Kennedy was so savage, that he threw her out of the window, after having beaten her, and that God would punish him for what he had done." Mr. Bond, a surgeon, proved that the fall had caused the deceased's death. The Jury returned a verdict of—Wilful Murder against Kennedy ; and the Coroner issued his war rant for his committal. He was immediately taken to Newgate. A CHILD DESTROYED BY ITS MOTHER, WHO AFTERWARDS COMMITTED SUICIDE. INQUEST ON THE BODIES. Saturday afternoon inquests were held on the bo dies, before Mr. NEWMAN, Coroner, pro tem., for the city, at the Bull inn. Elizabeth Silk was a widow, and servant to the deceased. About six o'clock on Saturday morning deceased came into her room, and brought with her the children's clothes; two of the children of the deceased, a little boy and girl, slept in the same room with the witness; her mistress said, " I have brought you the children's clothes." She replied ". Very well, ma'am; what o'clock is it ?" to which her mistress replied " Between six and seien." Her mistress then returned to her bed-room, and locked the door after her, and witness went down stairs to her work. Some time after Mr. Bradley wished to have his breakfast, and desired her to go and call her mistress. She went up to the • door, and knocked several times without getting any answer; concluding that she was asleep, she returned down stairs. The witness then proceeded to state that her master rung the breakfast bell, and she (witness) went up stairs again to call her mistress. She knocked again at the door, without receiving any answer, and then went down stairs to mention the circumstance to her master. He became much alarmed, and asked her to go up stairs with him. On arriving at the door, he burst it open, and then wit ness saw a most frightful spectacle. [Here her emotion became so great that she nearly fainted, and if a Juror had not caught her in his arms she would have fallen on the floor.] As soon as she had re covered, The CORONER inquired of her what was the state of her mistress's health before this circumstance oc curred ? Witness replied that she seemed absent sometimes. There was a strange inconsistency about her conduct. She seemed at times very melancholy, and frequently exclaimed, " I don't know what we shall do I" Ann Carrotte was the wife of a gentleman's coachman, and had been acquainted with the de ceased and her child. She was with the deceased and her husband when they entered on possession of the tap of the Bull Inn, on the Ist of July last, and remained with them till last Tuesday. She described the conduct of Mrs. Bradley as amount ing to insanity. Witness gave it as her opinion that the deceased's anxiety about the business, and her having to suckle the child, drove her out of her mind. She was between forty and fifty years of age, and had been married between five and six years, during which time she had had three children, two of which are living. The CORONER asked her if the deceased and her husband had lived on good terms ?—Witness re plied that they had. She had known them since they were married, and a better wife and neighbour did not exist. The CORONER asked her if she was affectionate towards her children ?—The witness replied that a more affectionate mother could not exist, or one fonder of her children. The CORONER asked her if she had ever seen the deceased write ?—Witness said she had, and gave it as her belief that the writing on the piece of paper produced was the deceased's hand-writing. Mr. Thomas Emmett, one of the Jurymen, said that he found the note in question on a table in a room where the bodies lay. Beside it were a spoon containing some ink, with a pen and a case-knife. The CORONER then read the paper, which was as follows : " May the Lord bless my dear husband and chil dren. It is no fault of theirs. God bless my dear husband, and keep him from harm for my doing this. The Lord prosper his: undertakings and my two little children." The Jury, after the evidence had been summed up by the Coroner, gave as their verdict, " That the deceased, Fanny Bradley, had destroyed her child under the excitement of insanity ; and the fit conti nuing, had also subsequently destroyed herself." On Thursday the remains of Baron Hui,- LOCK passed through Oxford, for interment in the family vault near Barnard Castle, in the county of Durham.— The hearse was accompanied by a mourning coach and four through the town, which returned as soon as it had passed St. Giles's church.— Berkshire Chronicle. r , STATE OF TRADE.—DUSHICSS, bad as it is, has been somewhat brisker this week than during the two preceding. For fustians there has been a moderate market, while the country trade in general, owing to a better at tendance of buyers, has, in a trifling degree, looked up._ For the lower numbers of twist there has been an in creased demand for foreign trade. In some instances we know the coarser spinners have engagements which will take at least six months far their completion.—Manchester Advertiser. MATRIMONIAL INFIDELITY.---A most dis tressing case of matrimonial infidelity has just occurred in the western suburbs of this town. A married man, the father of five children, one of them born the previous Sunday, has eloped with a married woman, the mother of seven. Before her departure, the female abstracted from a chest deposited in her husband's house, the property of his sister, a Bank acknowledgment for 301., the hard earned savings of many years, from a very moderate rate of wages received for service in a family in the neighbour hood. The deserted wife is in a state of distraction.— Perth Courier. SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC 3OUIINALS. We have just consigned to the limbo of all absurd communications here, a letter, signed " Thomas Oldacre," in which the writer up braids us, kindly but foolishly, for " mislead ' ing the public," as he says, respecting the condi tion of the farmers. We should wish to know if the farmers would thank us for asserting that they arc, as he represents them, all bank rupts and beggars, and of course not to be trusted or allowed any credit for the necessaries which they have occasion to purchase : we think the good rude English spirit of the farming in terest would kick at such insulting imputations as these. We allow that the farmer is not «so well off' as he has been; but can no one recol lect the time (it is not so long ago) when the expene4.›.s and extravagance of this class of per sons were at; much spoken of as their supposed difficulties and distresses are now celebrated ? But why, we ask, should farmers be, as they arc scandalously reported, in the very abyss of bank ruptcy ? COM is at a remunerating price, and live stock of every kiwi high. And as it appears by sure returns that the consumption of tobacco, spirits, wine, and tea, is greater than ever, it is incredible that bread and meat should not also be eaten at least as much as usual in common times. Rates are high—not higher than they have been : on the contrary, better management of them having been introduced by experience, they arc lower. And if rates were high, wages are the reverse. The farmers, also, are not the only people who pay rates ; on the contrary, they have shifted off' a considerable portion of weekly wages to the rate-book, and kindly indulge the shopkeeper with the privilege of paying their labourers. On the recall of the small notes, and the effect pro duced by that measure, the mast erroneous opi nions--.-do not indeed prevail, because we do not suffer them, but—are continually obtruded. Ignorance and stupidity predict ed mischief from the calling in of the small notes, (ignorance anti stupidity having first indeed asserted that the act was impossible); and impudence would now maintain that the mischief has arrived. But why should the ex tinction of the small notes affect the markets ? their place has been supplied by gold. When the 1/. and 2/. notes were in circulation, there was no such thing as gold to be seen : now we see nothing else in small payments. We ourselves refuse it as less convenient than paper. We cannot at once lay our hands upon one of the Bank returns, but there is, no doubt, as much or more money now in circulation as at any an tecedent period since the war ended. And what is the result of all this ? Certainly not that the times ate easy—we would not be mis understood as aiming at such a conclusion, but that the difficulties of them are exaggerated ; that our real sufferings are more sensibly felt, on ac count of the unnatural mid short-lived state of lavish abundance in which we were once placed ; and above all, as we have shown, that the causes of the present pressure are triirepre sented.— Times. In one of the many instructive and entertain ing articles in " The Book of the Boudoir," by Lady Morgan, there are some excellent ob servations on the tactics necessary for combat ting successfully with errors : " The opinions of the world," says her Ladyship, " are usually a mixture of small portions of truth, with an overwhelming mass of error. From amongst an infinite variety of shades, is formed a sort of average doctrine, which constitutes the opinion of the greatest number. . . Around this centre are accumulated the various extremes which represent the prejudices and interests of the smaller corps and categories in society. . . To belong to any of these corps ensures toleration, in proportion to their numbers and respectability; and the same truth may be advanced with different success, according as it is promulgated under the sanction of a powerful or an inefficient name. The Unitarians are permit ted openly to impugn the divinity of our Saviour; and the Quakers are allowed to reject all interfer ence of Priests; while those who are vulgarly and quaintly called Freethinkers, are punished for an idle jest against the Established Church. The for mer existing in considerable bodies, are enabled t o master opinion; while the latter having few to sym pathise with them, are opposed by all the pre judices and all the passions of society, • • • • . . . . It is not then so much the intrinsic opinion to be attacked which is matter for consi deration,_ as the point of view in which it may be presented, and the manner of effecting its separation from the interests in which it is involved. The attack upon established error should resemble that game which children play by casting a bundle of small sticks into a confused heap; and then endeavouring to pick them out one by one without disturbing the rest. We shall begin by casting about for the de tached and isolated points, and next remove those which have the fewest connections—leaving un touched the pieces in which there are the greatest implications—till, at last, perhaps, they will fall by their own weight. . . . The interests and passions of those who may be hoitile to a given reformation are not at all involved in an equal degree. There are thousands and tens of thousands4vho will ac cept of a principle, up to a certain point, where it begins to operate on themselves. With a few ex ceptions, all the world is beginning to be reconciled with free trade in every branch of industry but their own. It is therefore dangerous to push a principle at once to its utmost extreme. The further it is carried the more persons are alarmed, and the less is the shame attendant upon brutish opposition. The moderate, moreover, in all disputes, collect around them the half-thinkers and half-feelers—a powerful faction, embracing those who are too indo lent to inquire or too corrupt to desire a practical improvement to the fullest extent. For such per sonages a middle term is a convenient retreat ; and by neutralizing their opposition, you gain time and a clearer stage. This may not always be very can did ; but if the cosi a cwt.° system be allowable in oratory, it is less justifiable where the grave inte rests of the species are at issue. The numbers of those who see questions in their wholeness are very small; the mass are moved by especial instances and examples. In knowledge nothing is isolated; and the establishment of one truth is the dethrone ment of many others." It is a most material point to know to what extent a person ought to be honest who wishes to avoid being knocked on the head. To know the odour in which opinions are, is of itself a most important science. For want of this know ledge a man may be more dishonest than neces sary ; and his sincerity, instead of benefiting him, may, on the contrary, be of positive disad ' vantage to him. Hypocrisy and mendacity, therefore, require something more than the mere disposition to be insincere. As this world is continually advancing, a cunning man must know when to shift his ground.
