from the neck : the edges of the coat are trinnned with broad braid, and buttons made in the shape of a barrel ; sleeves fit close to the arm. The waistcoat is made of a blue figured marcella, with a rolling collar, and covered buttons. The trowsers are salmon-coloured moleskin, made tight to the shape, small at the knee, and hol lowed over the boot, with straps of the sane. WALKING DRESS.—A dark green olive coat, made with a heavy collar, cut off square at the ends, with a small step in front ; the lappel has a very sharp point at top, and turns nearly to the bottom of the fore-part ; the skirts and sleeves are very full. The waistcoat of white marcella, is made with a roiling collar, and bound with black galloon ; there are flaps instead of welts for the pockets. Trowsers of a light fawn colour kerseym ere , or a fi ne I n di an nankeen, are made tigh.t on the hips, and then large, to come well o'er the boot at bottom. A LIGHT RIDING DRESS.—A brown su perfine dress coat, made with a very tasty collar, which is covered with velvet ; the lappel is en tirely new, and pretty, the curve being so well formed ; the waist of this coat is rather short, and the skirts also ; the pockets are under the flaps ; the sleeves are particularly large at top.

A journey of a hundred and fifty miles through the above counties during the past week enables us to state, with some degree of confidence, the prospects of the farmer, from the present appear ance of the crops in this quarter of the kingdom. In the line of road from London to Chelms ford we were forcibly struck with the great con trast. exhibited in the Wheat crop ;' some of it being very thin and poor —some extremely back ward, and a good deal lodged—while in other instances the most extraordinary picture of early maturity and abundance was as conspicuously manifested. Desirous of ascertaining how far the report was well founded, that the ear had suf fered much by disease, we attentively examined several fields, and in the ears we gathered the ravage was but too -plainly discernible. Essex is not much of a Barley county, but the crops that fell under our notice shewed that a most gratifying improvement had been derived from the late rains. The same may be remarked of Oats. Of Beans we are apprehensive that a very short crop only can be expected ; but Peas, on the contrary, will be an unusually prolific supply. In several instances they had already demanded the operations of the husbandman. The Potatoe crop is commonly abundant. In the neighbourhood of Braintree and Hal sted, the maggot in the Wheat was much com plained of, as well as the onerous effect of the poor rates, which, in this part of the country, are as high as sixteen shillings in the pound upon the rack rents—the parishes, too, full of unem ployed labourers, and those which are at work having their wages partly defrayed from the pa rochial funds. In a more distant part of this county an in telligent gentleman gave the writer the following information, resulting from his local observation and inquiries :—" The crops," he says, " gene rally, are better than they were last )ear, although the late heavy rains have done them some injury, and been the cause of producing the insect called the red gum ; but this is not so injurious in the present year as in past seasons, which may be as cribed to the ears being very fine, and a great number four-set instead of three ; the latter are observed to be more affected with the disease than the former ; the middle set, in some ears, being entirely destroyed, but the corner set are generally perfect." It is a common opinion that there will be an average crop, and the Wheat good, unless there be a continuance of wet weather. In Essex the red gum is prevalent every year, but not to such an extent as at present wit nessed. The other crops (with the exception of Beans) are all good ; Peas particularly so. With respect to Turnips, this may be called the finest season for them we have experienced for many years ; for, having had such forcing weather, they have grown too fast for the fly. The Hay and Clover in this and the adjoining county have been got up in very bad condition. If fine weather continue, Wheat must be lower in price, which, with the duty rising, will, it is hoped, check the speculation in foreign corn. Harvest will commence generally in this county on Mon day next, weather permitting. In our progress through Suffolk, we remarked the Wheat to exhibit the same varied growth— in some places being completely green, and in others nearly ripe for the sickle. Oats, too, are looking uncommonly well, and very forward. Beans have a more promising appearance in this county than in Essex. Nothing 'clan surpass the hopeful prospect of the Peas. A Suffolk gen tleman, who farms a tolerably extensive breadth of land, and whose means of information are by no means limited, informed us, with reference to this county generally, that " the Wheats, on the whole, are looking well ; in some places the ear is considered defective, but it is thought there will be a full average crop. The Barley, on poor lands, and where put in early, is very bad; and on middling lands there is also a great deal of ordinary. The Beans are short in the straw, and much improved by the late rains, but will, nevertheless, be a light crop. Both 'White and Grey Peas promise to be very abundant. The major part of the Grass and Clovers has suf fered severely from wet. Turnips and Mange] Wurzel look kindly; the former promises un usually well." The operation of the duty upon foreign corn produces no effect in limiting the importations; for notwithstanding the duty is at 16s. Bd. per quarter (having risen 6s. within the last week or two), the arrivals of Wheat into the port of Lon don from foreign parts, during the last ten days, have amounted to upwards of 50,000 quarters. As a practical illustration of the effects of this ruinous system upon the home grower, we may add a fact communicated to us by a respectable auctioneer in Essex, that, at a recent public sale of growing crops, the most he was enabled to obtain for the Wheat was 91. and a crown per acre ; and for Beans 205.! The aggregate average of the six weeki which regulates the duty being this week under 685., a farther advance has taken place, making the duty now 18s. Bd. per quarter. We merely state the fact, not having the slightest belief that one grain less - will continue to be shipped to this country. At the time of writing this, we regret to state the weather has become very unsettled, with a cold atmosphere and heavy rain.—County Herald. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, FRENCH PAPERS. (From th), Messager des Chanibrii 'of July 29. ) SICOND EDITION: " PARIs, Jets 29.—Letters from Betlift of the 19th say that it is at the desire and at the instance of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, that that of Ber lin has sent General Muffling to Constantinople on a special mission, and many persons suspected as much. The Emperor desires to prove, at the mo ment When the chances of war are the most favour. able to him, that he is free from all views of ambi tion and conquest which are ascribed to him, in the midst of a nation which for its part has not always piqued itself in the east, on moderation and disinte restedness, though its dearest interests ate net threatened, and it has not been, like Russia, deeply offended in its dignity. The proposals which are to be made to the Ottoman Porte are, as they were from the beginning, the inviolability of the treaty of Akerman, and the free navigation of the Black Sea, without insisting on the demolition of the Castle of the Dardanelles. Nevertheless, the Emperor seems firmly resolved not to restore the fortresses con quered by his arms in Asia, which served as a de. fence and refuge for robbers of every description, and especially for the sale of Russian subjects into slavery. " With respect to Greece, his magnanimous poli cy will not vary : he will insist upon its obtaining the extent of territory without which it will have no independene - -that is to say, a positive line from Volo to Arta, so that it may include not only Athens, but a good part of Thessaly."; " We quote the opinions of the various journals on the approaching change which they assure us is to take place in the Ministry. We beg our readers to compare the several versions : this may serve to appreciate their truth." (Here follows extracts from the Constitutionnel, the Journal de Paris, and the Journal du Commerce, after which the Messager adds)— "Ti uly the public is:well informed ! How many combinations—how many changes ! and it is on Monday that we are to have the Royal ordinance! Monday will come, and the ordinance will not ap pear, which will not prevent the journals in the fol lowing week from giving their readers some more new Ministers."

AMERICAN PAPERS. LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM COLOMBIA. We are indebted to the politeness of the Colem bian Consul for Caraccas Papers to the 6th of June inclusive. They confirm the important rumour re ceived a few days since by the schooner Chatham, from Porto Cabello, that the war between Colombia and Peru was likely to he renewed. A letter to the Editors of the Baltimore Ame rican, from their correspondent at Havannah, under date of the 17th of June, says—" The expedition against Mexico is nearly ready, but General Bar radas has sealed orders to be opened at sea, and it is not yet known at what point this force will be di rected. We have no news." FROM CAMPEACHY.—We learn from Captain Grannis, of the schooner Sarah Francis, which ar rived yesterday in eighteen days from Campeachy, that a rumour of the proposed invasion from Ha vannah had reached that place, and that a short time previous to his sailing, 10,000 troops were collected there, 6,000 of whom had since left, the report being suspected to be false. Four thousand regulars still remained. T. M. Rodney, Esq. agent at Havannah, arrived yesterday in this place, having left Havannah on the 18th tilt. Mr. Rodney states, that the Spanish expedition fitting out at Havannah, and destined for Cam peachy, was to sail on the 23d of June. The com mander of the expedition was by no means sanguine of any good resulting from a descent upon the Mexican coast, but believed that the attempt would be a sacrifice of his army of 3,500 men. It was, however, an order of the King, and must be obeyed. —Wilm. (Del.) Adv. THE EXPEDITION AGAINST MEXICO.—We have information on which we can rely, in relation to cer tain circumstances connected with this Quixotic en terprise, which are of some interest to the public, and important to be known in Mexico. Such is the state of things, that we are well confirmed, not only in the opinions we have expressed of the necessary failure of the enterprise, but of the insincerity and dishonesty which have dictated it, Barradas, who is placed at the head of the expe dition, has not wisdom enough to make the decla ration attributed to him in a paragraph we copied from a southern paper yesterday. He undoubtedly thinks he may reconquer one of the old colonies; but the Governor, officers, and inhabitants of Cuba are unanimously opposed to it, and regard it as a wanton and useless exposure of human life. E ren the Spanish Ministry, far from sanctioning the un dertaking, resolutely opposed it, and could not be prevailed on to give their consent ; so that the order was finally communicated, not from the proper de partment, nor through the customary channels, but by the King himself directly to the commander. This was done in so peremptory a manner, that no remonstrance or opposition could be made; and of course the plan is to be pursued. With regard to the King, it is incredible that he could really anticipate any important results from sending so contemptible a force to the Mexican coast, and under the command of an ignorant boat man, as Barradas is, without talents, merit, military education, or experience. His Majesty, it is to be presumed, expected, by this show of invasion, to satisfy those who were clamorous for it, and pro bably hoped some of the expelled Spaniards would trust part of their treasure in his hands. Judging, however, from what we heard of the unanimous opi nion in Cuba, we believe he will be disappointed in both these respects. The force is far too small to encourage disaffected individuals in Mexico to risk their interests on its success, as it will plainly be unable to defend itself—much more to protect them. At the same time those who have wished to see the conquest undertaken in earnest, are disgusted at this feeble attempt. We now learn that the report of a reinforcement from Spain does not obtain the least credit even at Havannah. Captain Mayberry, who arrived at Providence, on Saturday last, in 13 days from Havannah, states that the expedition under Com. Laborde, destined for Mexico,whick was to sail on the Ist July, was expected to be joined by other troops from Spain, to the number of 20,000 men, the whole expected to be under the command of Don Carlos, brother of the King, who was looked for in Havannah, and lodgings prepared for his reception. It was the opi nion of some in Havannah that the expedition was intended for the purpose of effecting the most favourable terms possible in the contemplated recog nition of the independence of Mexico by the Spa nish Government. NEW ORLEANS, JUNE 13.—Captain Milner, of the Lavinia, reports that an attempt had been made to assassinate Commodore Porter. He had been ordered to the city of Mexico, and on his way thi ther, in company with a gentleman from New York, and attended by two servants, when about forty leagues from Vera Cruz he was attacked by a party of nine horsemen, two of whom had advanced within a short distance of him, when he turned and disco vered their intentions. He instantly wheeled and shot one of them, who turned out to be the leader, drew his sword, and struck off the hand of the other, who had engaged him. The rest, seeing their leader fall, fled. The chief of the band, it is said, is the very man from whom the Commodore procured horses for the journey. Dim YORK, JULY 8.-..

It is with sincere regret we have to announce ;he decease of Mr. Baron. HuLLocx, which took place last night, at Abingdon, at ten o'clock. Mr. Baron HULLOCK was a man of sound dis- cretion, great candour, temperate, but firm in his judicial capacity, looking upon and expounding the law more in consonance with plain sense and popular construction, than bewildering the imagi nation and embarrassing the judgment with tech nical definitions and contradictory precedents. He read the Statute with an unprejudiced eye, and applied its provisions with a liberal and learned spirit,—a lawyer, and yet a man of the world, who, like Mr. Justice BAYLEY, made ample allowance for the infirmity of human nature, while he executed the duties of his office with a mildness which added grace to the de cision of his character. A Baron of the Ex chequer, yet not more for the Crown than the people. This is the highest praise which a Judge of that Court can receive -,--and Mr. Baron HULLOCK has amply merited it. We received the following letter, this morn ing, from Mr. STRANGE, to whom we take this opportunity of returning thanks for his prompti tude and politeness : "Abingdon, July 31, 1829. " SIR,—I regret to inform you Mr. Baron HuLLocK departed this life, at my house, at ten o'clock this night. The importance of this information must be an apology for my intrusion. In great haste. " Your obedient servant, ~ WM. STRANGE." The Messager des Chambres, in a second edition, contains letters from Berlin, stating that it was at the instance and desire of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, that the Court of Berlin sent General MUFFLING to Constantinople. The Emperor NICHOLAS was then, as he has always professed to be, moderate, and " free from all views of ambition and conquest." Whether he will continue in the same mood after the recent victory at Kulowtscha and the fall of Silistria remains to be seen. He offers to make peace with the Polo. oQgditionkgettit\ negociation what he lasltitTertaN4d . b force of arms, and if he can. succeed, we think he acts wisely, after the experieitee Of the last campaign. With respect to Greece, the EM PEROR is resolved upon carrying :into effect the " magnanimous policy " upon which he set. out : he will insist upon its obtaining an extent of country necessary to its inde pendence—that is, a positive line from Volo to All 2, so that it may include not only Athens, but a good part of Thessaly. In this, we think, he is right: He might even include Mount Olympus, and draW a line from that " most classic" part of Greece along the mountains to the Gulf of Arta. In this deter mination of his INiPERIAL MAJESTY, we can not, however, help perceiving the " order of the day" upon which Count CAPO DISTRIA is now acting. The President's blockade is only an extension of that of Admiral HEYDEN'S, under a Grecian disguise. The Messager ridicules the rumours of changes in the French Ministry. The changes are however believed—and the arrival of the Prince de POLIGNAC at Paris serves to coun tenance the report. Frankfort Papers state that a ship which has arrived at Trieste in nineteen days from Syra, beings the intelligence that Thebes, in the island of Negropont, has surrendered to the Greeks by capitulation. The Turkish garrison was to be conveyed to Smyrna, on board of Greek ships. The following are extracts : ODESSA, JULY 3.—The happiest success has attended the measures adopted by the Magistrates to check the pro gress of the plague, which manifested itself in the quaran tine establishment a fortnight ago. The invalids were separated so quickly from the healthy, that of 400 persons who were considered as suspected, not one has hitherto shewn any indications of contagion ; hitherto only 30 per sons have fallen victims to this dreadful visitation, and of these 16 arrived here with the infection upon them. The town itself is perfectly healthy, and the mortality less con siderable than at any other period of the year ; all commu nication between the town and the Lazaretto is now inter rupted. At present there are in the Lazaretto only three patients that have the plague. Should there be no new cases the Lazaretto will be soon thoroughly purified. VIENNA, JULY 20.—Metallig ries, 99 7-16; Bank Shares, 1,124. TRIESTE, JULY 12.—A ship, which has arrived here in 19 days from Syra, brings the intelligence that Thebes in the island of Negropont, has surrendered to the Greeks by capitulation. The Turkish garrison was to be conveyed to Smyrna on board of Greek ships. SYRA, JUNE 2.—The President of Greece has lately made great changes in his Administration. At present regard is paid to private interests, unity is observed in the general measures of the Administration, and attention is paid to agriculture. This is the best means to save the country from wars and distress which consume it. These ameliorations have an influence on the people without their perceiving it, and they proved . to the President, during his late tour, that they are not insensible of the efforts that are made to relieve them. It is certain that the President has more real influence at this moment, than at any other time since he has resided in Greece. Emar.a, JUNE 4.—The National Bank, conformably to the obligations imposed on it by the statutes, has repaid 350,000 piastres to a certain number of auditors. As the financial resources of the Government are BO too small to meet the most urgent wants, only two-thirds of the payments have been made in money, and the remainder in bills, at different dates. As the Government, notwith standing the scarcity of money, has eventually performed its engagements to those creditors of the Bank who thought proper, at the close of last year, to withdraw their capital with the interest, there is the more reason to hope that those creditors, who have not yet asked for re payment, will give a further proof of their regard for their country. This same wish is addressed to the generous foreigners who are shareholders in the Bank. Count Bulgari, Prussian Minister to the Greek Govern ment, has lately written a letter to the President, stating, that among the prisoners taken at Varna were thirty young Greeks, natives of Scio, whom the Turks had obliged to embrace Islamism, and whose first wish on being among their brethren, was to return to the religion of their fathers. The Emperor has .given orders far the ful filment of this pious and national wish, and has further resolved to enable them to be one day useful in this coun try, by 'having them educated in the military academy at Kiew, at the expence of the Government, and under the special care of the directors of that establishment. When their education is completed, they are to be sent back to Greece, to serve their country in such offices as they may be qualified to fill. The 500 orphans assembled in March, 1828, at Poros and Napoli, are now lodged in a house lately built at Egina, at the expence of foreigners, friends to Greece. The President wishing to ensure the orphans in the insti tution a moral and Christian religion, as well as good ele mentary instruction, has appointed commissioners, who are to have the inspection and administration of it. By a letter from the Editor of the Notting ham Mercury, inserted in our columns of to day, it will be seen that the inflated and scarcely intelligible metaphor which we objected to some days since, in our notice of Mr. SADLER'S speech at Newark, was really made use of by that Gentleman, who, however, has since thought fit to correct and throw it into a less mystified form. Many excuses ought, we are aware, to be made for what is spoken in the hurry of the moment. A correct use of imagery, and above all, a collo quial style of expression that shall be familiar without being vulgar, are seldom extempore qualifications. They are the results usually of steady and mature consideration. Of this study we fancied we perceived evident traces in Mr. SADLER's speech, and decided on its quali fications accordingly. But after all, it is of little moment to a public character whether his periods be accurately balanced, or his metaphors nicely drawn out ; his principles are the important points of his oratory, and in these, we still feel that Mr. SADLER is deficient. He is too much the " laudator temporis acti." New York Papers to the 9th July have been received ; they contain some more particulars of the mad attempt by FERDINAND to reconquer Mexico. We think the Colombians, who are in league with the Mexicans, ought to make a demonstration on Cuba, in the absence of the fleet and army. Such a manceuvre, though likely to be attended with as li tt l e success as t h e d escent on Mexico, would y e t a l arm t h e S pan i ar d s, more especially as the merchants and people of Havannah are discontented at the late exactions to fit out the expedition. The Times of this morning, while it elo quently praises, seems half inclined to doubt th• .1N 't•-• au of the " Notice" issued by Lord ILVsSOW N ENTINCK, because it is said by a Contemporary " to have come by way of Bor deaux:" It may have come by way of Bor deaux, but we received it in copies of the Bom bay Courier, by the Sesostris, which arrived off Dover. We only mention this because we see that some othei Papers have given circulation to the same version of the matter. The following is another notice of the Gover nor-General, which gives a still greater proof of his urbanity and patriotic feeling !—= " NOTICE. " The Governor-General, after his return from his in tended voyage, will give private audiences to Native Gen • tlemen, and to Natives of respectability who may wish to see him. " Applications to be made to the Private or 141 ilitaiy Secretary of the Governor-General, and no applicatiou through any indirect channel will be noticed. " By cotrimand, " A.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 88i 88/ for the account, opened at 88/ 89, since which they have improved to 89 k; some business is doing, but not to a great extent. Our information this morning is of a meagre descrip tion, there not being any arrivals of consequence. Montreal Papers to the 3d of July, Quebec to the 2d of July, Halifax to the 27th of June, and Ber muda to the 11th June, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Montreal Papers state that SirJas. Kemp had arrived there from Quebec, and had taken up his residence at the Government house. The Quebec Papers state that the weather for some time past had been un_ usually dry, and the crops have materially suffered but on the above date, the Ist of July, heavy and refreshing rains had fallen, which would improve the country. The Halifax and Bermuda Papers are destitute of information. A Mail has arrived from Vera Cruz, but of an old date. The only thing doing in the Foreign market is in Brazil Shares, which have rather improved. Three per Cent. Consols, ssi 9; Three per Cent. Re duced, 891 ; Three and a half per Cent.

By the Mexican Mail arrived this morning, we have received the following letter from the city of Mexico of the sth June; although the letters are not of so late a date as previously received by the last mail, still its contents are interesting in point of commercial affairs:— " A tax of five per cent, on Rentes, and a tax OR Commercial Patents, are now going to be levied for the immediate improvement of the Revenue; sales of merchandise continue slow; the law to prohibit the importation of many articles, published on the 24th May, will not be in force until six months to come, during which time large importations of them are expected. " The Real del Monte Mines continue to produce less than the weekly expenditure; the United Com pany's Mines are proceeding favourably; the Anglo Mexican produce a good sum weekly, more than the expenditure." In the early part of the morning some sales were made in Money Stock, which rstber lowered the market from 82 i f to 88f for the Account, and at present they may be quoted at 89, and 88i for Money.

The LORD CHANCELLOR—What, an ex -p order calling on a man to give up his wife ! Mr. RICHARDS—My Lord, she has been found have been a lunatic since 18 2 2 ; we have tried the inquisition with all possible haste, and if your 10 .4 1:1 ' ship were to be pleased to put the question to Y°,7; Commissioner, who is now in Court, I am s ure would tell you that a case of greater profligacy ve le had been brought forward. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I now recollect t bs „ case. I think the facts that justified me in gri f ing the injunction to prevent the marriage, .0,0110 me in calling on this individual to give her up. I°' youMr.r order. RICHARDS—WiII your Lordship permit vice of the minutes of the order to be consider good service. '1 he LORD CHANCELLOR—CertainIy, and - order itself shall be drawn up immediately.

Mr. KNIGHT opened two petitions in this matt e i : The first was, the petition of Mr. Hartley, the Olt citor of the supposed lunatic, stating that he did O a believe the supposed lunatic to be of the 'inse t state of mind imputed to him in his fat l 7; Lord St. Vincent's, petition, who prayed It a Commission, and praying that he wig", be permitted to visit him on all reasonable occas iell c i so as to be enabled to conduct his defence; ep e the other was that of the Hon. Mrs. Greaves , supposed lunatic's mother, against the issuing oft", commission, and praying that medical gentlele7i might he allowed to visit him for the purpose certifying upon the state of his mind. 50 The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that abo u t months ago he had, through the medium of J 1 Goodge, to communicate with the supPe se to lunatic ; on that occasion letters were written I him by the supposed lunatic, which were at Chid moment before him, and which in his opinion vie u ' l impress any body who read them that, at least ! I , the time they were written, he was of unsound Ini, ' d ,. 11 (The letters were then handed down to 1 "" Knight, who read them.) His LORDSHIP then added, that he felt he had: very unpleasant duty to perform. He was bound '" take care of this gentleman; but he thought it r e !„' ' sonable, on behalf of the mother, that medical go - , tlemen should visit the supposed lunatic before e ti l ; further proceeding took place. He desired to bsso informed who the medical gentlemen nominated t visit were ?" . I Sir Mr. KNIGHT said, they were Dr. Haslam an d Andrew Halliday, in company with Mr. King, I t( medical gentleman living in the neighbourhood the supposed lunatic, who had been in the habi t o attending him. The LORD CHANCELLOR considered it wou ld 0 better to send only one medical gentleman fr, ° ,y London, and therefore desired the parties to el e " _ _ _ who that gentleman should be. - Mr. KNIGHT then said they wished to have 1:rd: Haslam, of Hart-street, Bloomsbury, appoi nt This gentleman was then directed to visit the s u F o i posed lunatic on Monday, between the hours to nine a.m. and seven p.m., should it he convenie nt him, and, if not, as soon afterwards as possible. _A Mr. HORNE begged it might not be u nderst°7 that this was to be an extinguishment of the P ev tion praying for the commission. Mr. KNIGLIT fully assented to this. The obserrai tion had almost led to an eruption on the subject s, the conduct of the parties concerned on both st ile but The LORD CHANCELLOR extinguished the tall er ; by desiring the gentlemen to recollect he was t" keeper here.—(Laughter.)
