PROSPECTUS FORTHE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE BRIGHTON • prove coarse, uneven, .and, on 012. whole, very, inferior in quality. The crops• vary in bulk, being affected by the nature of the soil more con "siderably than usual. On hot, Anlow mouldca uplands, they are thin <an-T short ; while on lower and richer, yet sound laud, is an abundant supply both of straw and of long well-looking ears. But here, too frequently, the rains have beaten down the crops, and, m some of the richest parts of England, all is so flit (even wheat yet uncut), and the grass and weeds are so triumphantly lording it over the prostrate grain, that it is almost imp o ,-;. sible, without close inspection, to say of \Vluit species it consists. To- this, of course, there az., many fortunate exceptions, not only in the shwt growth of the high and dry lands, but among the heavier produce of the vales and flats. The go neral aspect forebodes a very inferior qualiLy, and with respect to quantity, in such a state of thioff.s as we have attempted to describe, it NVVUId presumption to hazard even a wide cakulatioli. Crops vary so continually and so much, eve from field to field, that no general conclusion could be formed but from an examination too extensive, as well as too minute, to be within the compass of any man's ability ; and. the ,final suit depends on what no man can foresee, the future state of the weather. A dry and 7 WATER WORKS COMPANY, ()/1 TIIE SUPPLYING BRIGHTON WITH PURE • AND WHOLESOME WATER. I T has long been a subject of general and just complaint, that the Inhabitants of the fashionable and attractive town of Brighton are nece-sitated to use for their Ow n Personal and .domestic service a very impure and un wholesome supply of Water. To obviate the existence .of an evil so indisputable, and a grievance so injurious, ,the " Brighton Water Works Company" have proposed* to B ",PPIY Water from a source which will admit of no conta „, • ) .'natiQ n) and free from every unwholesome and deleterious - "tent To accomplish this object, the Company have obtained the report of able Engineers, who have examined several spots of ground in the immediate neighbourhood of the Town, particularly eligible for the construction of the 3'equiaite works, and who have stated their opinion, that an abundantly plentiful supply of Water may be obtained from S p r ings at a moderate depth from the surface of the earth. The practicability of the plan proposed not being a matter of doubt, it remains to show that the establishment of such Co mpany is imperiously called for on the ground of public necessity and utility. It is well known that the Town of. Brighton is entirely 12sprovided, in case of Fire, with any sufficient supply of Water, notwithstanding its great and increasing extent ; and that for want of an immediate and adequate supply, available in case of such calamity, the Town in general stands exposed to indefinite injury, involving the lives and property of a most important and highly valuable portion of the British community. It is determined, therefore, to establish Works on an extensive and powerful scale. The shaft which is to be sunk, will go down a sufficient depth, until the springs are fully opened ; and a plentiful supply of Water will be Pump e d up by an Engine of great power into a Reservoir, Where it will be always ready f:r furnishing the Main on any emergency, and the Pipes constantly, with as much Pure soft Water as families may at any moment require. The Company offer as a public body, what cannot be ( Attained by private and individual means, namely, a con- Stint supply of pure and wholesOme Water, laid on to any tart of a house, at a very moderate charge. To such as may be desirous of becoming Proprietors in the Brighton Water Works, this project holds out advan tages, not founded on useless and experimental theories, but on a plan which must obtain public approbation ; and co nsequently a very handsome Dividend accrue to the Pro- Prietary in this useful and honourable undertaking. The Capital of the Company not to exceed 30,000/. in Shar es of 1001. each, of which 2!. per Share is to be paid en subscribing; and two months' notice will be given of every further Call, which shall not exceed Five per Cent. at any one time.

When the prisoner was in Lon don, his appearance was respectable. He used to dine with Mr. and Mrs. Cane, the landlord and land lady .of the French Horn, Crutched-friars, on Sur:- days. They said be had seen better days, and wished me to get him a situation, but I could not. I recommended him to go bome, and gave him money to go down. _ • COTTON WOOL. LIST or IMPORTS AND EXPOILTS.

The • prisoner replied, lam not the master, as you have the money. The Captain then said, " Here is money if you want it." Mr. Serjeant TADDY left it to the Jury to say whether they could rely on the evidence of the pro secutor, who had evidently conducted himself with great imprudence. At ail events they should acquit the younger prisoner.

M'GACHEN AND ANOTHER. AGRICULTURALREPORT FOR AUGUST. havebe been undoubtedly some favourable ci;cum stances attending the sowing of turnip this) ear, a sufficiency of moisture for the - purpous vegetation, and a very remarkable gbsen cc (.7f the destructive turnip fly. But on the other liaifd, before the moisture came, there was a long pre valence of dry weather, so that the time of sow ing was unseasonably delayed ; and subsequently the sufficiency of moisture has been turned into excess, accompanied by cold nights, and days without sunshine. Hence the turnips, originaliv backward, have been slow in growth, and thon g ! ' the instances are few in which the plants have failed, yet it may well be doubted whether tha bulbs will be large, except in fertile favouraYe situations. Add ,to this, that there are lar-J, breadths .which are yet to be hoed, the harvest having ahsorved all hands just when that opera tion became expedient, and, owing to the tinuance of rain, both those which have been hoed and those which have not, are very much This was an action brought by a horse-dealer, living at Upton-upon-Severn, to recover from the defendants a compensation in damages for an assault and false imprisonment.

N.B. Country Dealers not procuring it direct from E.

Mr. CURWOOD, with whom was Mr. CHICHES TER, said the circumstances of this case were of a singular nature. The prosecutor was an American Captain, in the merchant service. He came to this country in the autumn of last year, bringing with him 300 or 400 ounces of silver, for which he re ceived at the Bank the sum of 8201. His intention was to lay out his money in cutlery for the South Sea market; but previous to his making the investment he met the prisoner James Walkley at a public house he frequented in Crutched-friars, and having given him some pecuniary assistance, was by the pri soner invited to go to see him, at Rodborough, in this county, where he resided, and had formerly carried on the trade of a butcher. The prosecutor being desirous of seeing a little of England before his departure, went to Birmingham, Sheffield, Glou cester, and different other towns, and then to. call upon the prisoner. He carried the money which he had received for the dollars with him, and the pri• sorer being apprised of that circumstance, recom mended him to leave it at home with his wife to take cue of. The prosecutor placing implicit confidence in the prisoner,consented,and it remained in the care of the prisoner's wife till one day it was proposed they should all go to the Petty - Sessions which were to be held at Gloucester. The prosecutor, finding they were all about to leave the house, insisted upon having his money hack, which he thought would be in danger if left ►n an empty house, and after some difficulty it was returned to him. lie kept it for some time, and again yielding to the persuasions of the prisoner, gave it to the prisoner's wife to take etre of for him. On that occasion he lent the pri sor►er 10/., and he then observed that a .50/. note was missing; he did not charge the prisoner with h a ving taken it, but while he •was examining his notes the prisoner snatched one of 100/. from him, and put it in his pocket. The next morning at breakfast the prisoner returned that note of 1001. to the prosecutor, and said he was going to Wood chester. The prosecutor said he would go to Stroud, and they both set out together; but when the prosecutor got to Stroud the prisoner, instead of proceeding any further, returned back to the house, and having obtained from his wife the prosecutor's money, immediately left home, and was not heard of till he was apprehended _on the present charge. The prosecutor, after making every inquiry about the prisoner, at last proceeded to the house of a lady in London, where the prisoner's daughter -was in service. He could gain no information of him there, but the mistress of the prisoner's daughter put a letter into his hands, which had been written by the prisoner to his daughter,and would leave no doubt of his guilt. The Learned Counsel then read the letter. Mr. C. PHILLIPS and Mr. WATSON appeared for the defence. Michael Cluney said, lam an American mariner, a captain. I arrived here two years ago. I brought with me 4,000 dollars; they were lodged in the bullion office at the Bank of England, and I re ceived 8201. for them. Last autumn I resided at 22, Savage-gardens. 'I used to spend my evenings at the French Horn, Crutched-friars. I there be came acquainted with the prisoner. lie then looked a little more respectable than he does now. The prisoner told me that when at home he resided at Rodborough, in Gloucestershire. Wishing to see a little of England, Iceme into Gloucestershire, and called upon the prisoner at Stroud, and found him living in a small house, above the Fleece inn. I took up my lodging at the prisoner's house, as he advised me to stay there instead of the Fleece inn, to save expense. I had nearly 8001. about me; the prisoner knew it, and he recommended me to leave it with his wife for safety. I then counted it out, 7201., to his wife, and told her to keep it safely, as I should leave in a day or two. After breakfast the prisoner said he should go to Woodchester. I never saw him again till about the 23d of June. I went out again, and returned home again at seven o'clock, and about eleven o'clock at night I learnt the prisoner had gone to Stroud, and taken the money with him. Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS—I was in troduced to this man at a respectable public-house in London. I went with the prisoner to Windsor before I went to Stroud; I paid the expenses of that trip. We were there two days. I accepted a share of the prisoner's bed in the cottage. I did so also at Windsor. I don't know that I did that at Wind sor to save expenses. I have written letters to the prisoner. [A letter was here handed to witness by the Learned Counsel.] I believe this is my hand writing. lam not quite sure. You may have it so as you like. I don't doubt it. 1 think it is. That letter referred to my having missed some shirts. I slept in the same bed with the prisoner several times after I thought he had stolen my shirts. When the prisoner could not get employment in London, offered to pay his quarter's rent for him. Mr. Serjeant TADDY here asked Mr. Curwood, whether, under the circumstances of this case, it was to the public interest that this case should go on. Mr. CuttwooD did not wish to press it, but the defence set up was no legal answer to the case. Mr. Serjeant TADDY —It may or it may not be, but the circumstances are of a nature so peculiar, that I very much doubt the propriety of proceeding. Cross•exami nation continued—The prisoner's wife and child left his house every night for about three weeks, for my accommodation. Mr. Sedeant TADDY—Why did not you get an• other bed ? Witness—l don't knew, my Lord; the prisoner asked me to stay at his house. By Mr. C. PHILLIPS-Why did you not sleep in a separate bed at Windsor ? Was it to save expense you both slept in one bed there ? Witness—l don't know. There was only one room in the prisoner's house. I gave the prisoner 10/. to go down to his family, and he is not the first I have given pounds and pounds to. Ir. C. PHILLIPS—I dare say not, Sir. Mr. Setjeant TADDY—Gentlemen of the Jury,. allowing for the difference of habits of other coun tries, this case must rest on th e cre di t you g i ve to this man. If you think you can attach any credit to his testimony, we will go on with the case. The Jury, after consulting together for a few mi nutes, said they had no doubt .t h e w i tness ' s c r edit might be good.. Itwak here mtimate4 that the lallies must leave DAVIS V. --• CAPPER, ESQ. Mr. CARRINGi'ON opened the pleadings, stating that this was an action against the defendant, a Ma gistrate of this county, for false imprisonment. Mr. CURWOOD said the defendant was a gentle man of property, and a Magistrate of the county. The plaintiff was a poor and aged woman, who com plained of having been imprisoned for sixteen days, without any reasonable curse. The subject matter of this action was so well understood, that he had no doubt the Jury were perfectly acquainted with the circumstances of the case, and his Lordship would, he was sure, have some recollection of them. In October, 1827, the plaintiff went to lodge at the house of a Miss Ann Hammerton, who resided at Cheltenham. She carried on the business of a mil liner. She was a young woman of great talents, of fascinating manners,and considerable personal beauty. The plaintiff lived on a small annuity allowed her by a relation in Wales, and also on other small pro perty. On the Irith of November, 1827, she re ceived from her relation in Wales a letter containing a 101. note, one half of the sum that he allowed her annually. She showed the note to Hammerton, and on the next day, the 16th, Hammerton, under some pretence or other, prevailed on her to take tea in the kitchen with her, and not in the parlour. While at tea, the plaintiff's box was taken away, containing the 10/. note and some articles of wear ing apparel. Hammerton continued to persuade the plaintiff that if she went to a cunning man she would discover who the thieves were ; but at last, from va rious circumstances, some suspicion attached to Hammerton, and on the .sth of January, 1828, the plaintiff went to Mr. Capper, the defendant, and preferred a charge of robbery against Hammerton. The case was heard, and adjourned to the Bth of January; previous to that . day Mr. Capper had a private interview with Miss Hammerton, and on the case coming on to be heard on the Bth, the charge against Miss Hammerton was dismissed. Shortly after that Miss Hammerton madea charge against the plaintiff of having robbed her ; the plain tiff was taken from her bed on the night of the 27th of January, locked up all night, and the next day brought before Mr. Capper, at the public office, Cheltenham, on Miss Hammerton's statement that she had cause to suspect the plaintiff of having rob bed her. On that occasion, a letter was produced by Hammerton, addressed to the plaintiff, alluding to the alleged robbery by the plaintiff; it was signed " Obadiah," and dated the 19th of January, the writer engaging to write again in 14 days. The plaintiff was asked by Mr. Capper who the letter was from, and who Obadiah was; she replied that she had never seen the letter, and was therefore un able to give any answer ; on which Mr. Capper com mitted her to Northleach prison f0r,16 days. He (Mr. Curwood) could not but call the attention of the Jury to the contrast between the conduct of the de fendant to this poor old woman, and the way in which he treated Miss Hammerton, the young and handsome woman, when a charge was preferred against her, without sureties, without entering into her recognizances, she was suffered to depart, and the charge against her dismissed ; but the plaintiff, on a case of suspicion, and being unable to account for a letter which had never been in her possession, was sent to Nerthleach prison for sixteen days. At the expiration of that period she was brought back to Cheltenham, but Mr. Capper not happening to be in attendance, the magistrates who were there not choosing to interfere in a case which had been heard by him, the unfortunate plaintiff was sent back to prison for three days more, and at the end of that time discharged for want of further evi dence. The plaintiff, in consequence of informa tion that she had received, preferred a fresh charge against Miss Hammerton. Mr. Capper refused to receive the deposition, or to commit her ; but on that same evidence, Miss Hammerton having sur rendered to take her trial at the Spring Assizes for 1828, she was convicted before his Lordship. What ever might have been the faults c.f that unfortunate girl, he (Mr. Curwood) could not but deplore the melancholy result of that trial, which he had no doubt was known to every one present. [She hung herself in prison.] Evidence was then adduced in support of the Learned Counsel's statements—after which the trial was postponed till the next day. EXTRAORDINARY CAPTURE OF WrIALES, NEAR DUBLIN. -During the frightful gale on Tlinrsday evening, two immense whales were stranded near Sir E. LEE'S beautiful lodge at. Howth. His gardener, on going to the spot, found two of these monsters struggling to get into deep water. The man returned for a gun and friend, and after dischargium 45 bullets into the body of the lar gest, they succeeded in killing bins: These amazing fish made a desperate resistance, and it was nine hours before they were completely captured. They measure each 30 f ee t, and weigh six tons, and are to be seen at the smith's forge, opposite Lord Howrit's deer-park, at Howth.— Dublin .Evening p ac k e t, - • It seems but a superfluous task to enter into a description of • the weather that has preVailed during the last month ; it will, probably, leave traces of its effects on the minds, and means, of very many, not easily or speedily to be effacel Rain was not unfrequent at the beginning of the month ; yet still there were intervals in which the labours of the season could be prosecuted successfully ; but latterly, instead of the dry warm state of the atmosphere which we habitually term " harvest weather," storm, and gloom, and heavy driving rains, have succeeded each other with little intermission, and with a temperature occa sionally more like that of November than that of August. We have seen and heard repeated ac counts of the harvest, and of its anticipated pro duce ; and it will, of course, be expected that we too should let fly our bolt among the many random shots which the archers of the daily Journals have' discharged ; yet, in truth, it is no easy task to hit the Mark, or to get hold of the end of so tangled a skein as the present harvest. Looking primarily to wheat, as the crop in which both grocers and consumers are mainly interest ed, it is clear that the various accidents of soil, and exposure, of early and late sowing, have this year been peculiarly influential, and have caused its produce to vary in such numerous instances, and between such wide extremes, that it is very difficult to calculate the average result, as to. quantity ; and, in such a fickle and unpropitious season, the earlier or later ripening of the grain, open fields or close hedge-rows, scarcity or abundance of hands, better or worse management, a fortunate moment seized or let slip, are circum stances that haVe introduced as great a variety into the quality as into the quantity of the pro duce. There is something, at this time of the year, that generally puts " a lying spirit" into the mouths of our prophets in grain ; they al ways " prophecy smooth things" of the harvest. We cannot be an echo to this cuckoo song of never-failing abundance, nor uniformly dress our reports " couleur de rose." We give our opi niou with diffidence, but we incline to think that, under no circumstances, would the harvest have been equal to the promise of the early part of the summer, nor to the expectations of late so injudiciously raised. A serious injury took place at the end of the blossoming reason. The good and warm lands of the kingdom may yield abundantly, both in straw and °rain • but there are large tracts where the ears abound in empty capsules; in many spots the plant is thin, and in some absolutely deficient, forming altogether a great, and not readily cal culable, deduction from the fertility of the rest. Had the harvest proceeded under the most fa vourable circumstances, it could hardly have ex ceeded a common average produce, taking it altogether, and it may reasonably be doubted whether it would have fully attained to that point. As it is, the miserable weather that has prevailed of late will not only seriously injure the quality of the wheat crop, but will lessen the quantity by the waste which inevitably occurs, under such circumstances, in various ways ; by the impossibility of reaping the lodged and tangled wheat in a clean and efficient manner, by the loss which takes place in turning the grips, in tying and untying the sheaves, moving and setting up the fallen shocks, and by the increase of refuse and damaged corn, which, in winnow ing, never comes to the bushel. All this, though apparently little in detail, makes a fearful deduc' Lion in the aggregate. Taking the average of the kingdom throughout, there is, probably even yet, not more than half of the wheat crop secur ed ; for, we know of districts, even in the south, where less than that portion is housed ; and, in the north, there must be much yet uncut. It is folly to say, or to believe, that the continued rains have not yet seriously injured the grain, whether cut or uncut ;, not only by causing it to sprout, but by thickening its coat, spoiling its colour, rendering the flour less perfectly sepa rable from the bran, and by deadening its spirit —a miller's term—which, although we do not pretend to define, we practically know to involve a serious deterioration of quality and price. Samples of prime quality there may be, and such are those which arc chiefly selected for the market at present; but it must be evident that only a small portion of the crop, which was carried very early, could be uninjured by the weather in the field ; and of this small portion no inconsider able share was put together so hastily as to incur great risk of heating, or of continuing damp and tough. Several ricks we have seen pulled to pieces after being made ; and, beyond a doubt, many more would have been the better for this operation if the weather, had not prevented its being resorted to, except in cases of absolute ne cessity-. Of spring corn, comparatively little has as yet been cut ; but, from the state in which it lies, the sickle must be actively employed as soon as possible. To this, however, there are sonic exceptions ; for, owing to lateness of sowing, or of vegetation, in well of th e d r y period in the spring, as as, to the late wet and un genial weather, much of the barley and oats is various piats of the country are nearly as green as ever,: ioa6 are frequently sadly broken in the straw,. and lodged; and it may be doubted whether they will prove productive. there are generally two or mere distinct growths ap O d f it barley in the same crop ; the rain has discoloured and blackened the ends of the must overrun by weeds. These untoward cireurn- stances may be cured or mitigated by a fine dry autumn ; and there may be, on the whole, to ;in its extent into consideration, a plentiful supply nt turnips. At present, notwithstanding th , ,! flourishing appearance of mangel-ww'zel mul t►n•nips in particular situations, we do not think that bulky crops of these valuable roots can be safely depended on. The second crop of clover is good, and even luxuriant in soils welladapt.e. to it ; and all the latter grass has grown fiee•ly and vigorously. But the fickleness of the clover plant is more than ever complained of, and trefbil in some soils seems to be getting capricious also. In the hop grounds, potwialstanding partuti - starts of the most vigorous plants, little hope seems to be entertained, except, as far as the pre carious chance of very genial weather may work unlooked-for miracles at the " eleventh. hour." In the Corn Market good samples of wheat, as might be expected from the weather, are con siderably advanced, but inferior qualities can hardly find purchasers. Barley and oats-are bath rather dearer, not indicating an- expectation of a very abundant produce. The. Meat Market has experienced but little variation, though some de gree of briskness seems to show itself. Sheep, and particularly ewes, have advanced in price at the late fairs, and a plenty of keep will probably sustain their value. Wool, if not improved, is at least not farther depressed in -price, as indeed it was hardly possible. On the whole, there never was more gloomy prospects for the farmer ; he has been gradually dwindling, and the constun mation of his fate seems not unlikely to be ap proaching. But " great griefs are s►lent," and we have neither space nor heart to enter on su serious a subject.
