The Irresistible steam-vessel, the last of those provided for. the service of the Greeks, was destroyed by fire in Halfway-reach, on Tuesdcy afternoon, in course of an experiment to . determine its fitness for the purpose, and the power of the steam-engines with which the vessel was provided. We haVe been favoured with the following letter from a gentleman who was on - board, and who made observations, the accuracy of which we believe may be relied on : TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. . Sir,—l have no doubt that the fate of the lrre- ' sistible steam-vessel has produced that melancholy feeling in the minds of many of your readers, which the circumstances connected with it from first to l a st are so well calculated to excite. Captaln M 'Pher son's statement, which appeared in The Times this morning, is, to the best of my knowledg e, a sub stantially correct account of the accident. With .respect to the qualities of this vessel, as compared with the former ones, I have to observe, that, with out imputing any blame to the engineer, anti not withstanding the improvements,—and I admit there are improvements made since the sailing of the Eiz terprise,— yet, by comparing the notes published i n The Times, of her proceeding hetween Blackwall and Dover; 'and the progress of the Irresistible yes terday between Deptford and Gravesend, and ]Jack to the place of her destruction, the operative weight of steam., and the difference of their velocity as per log, amour_itod only to a mere fraCtion,—the steam guage beginning 'at 36, the vessel going 4 knots ; and in . about seven h ours t h e guage d own t o 22, an d the vessel procced . ing two miles per hour. With these incnntrovertible facts before us, it may be ques tioned whether, at this advanced seasun of the year, the drstruction of the Irresistible in Halfway-reach is much to be regretted. Oct. 31. P. We have seldom witnessed so heavy a fall of rain as took place in this district on Thursday ; and this, combined with the spring tides, raised the water to an extraordinary height in the upper parts of the river. We arc informed that the small and flat Wand of MuCkdrum, opposite Newburgh, which is farmed by Mr. Rennie, was so completely flooded, as to obliterate every tract of a furrow in the fields, and the cattle and horses had to take refuge on the dikes raised for keeping off the water until the tides had receded. —Dundee Courier. - VVe scarcely remember a season so favourable for gathering in the remainder of the crop as this has been. The fields in the immediate neigh bourhood were i n d ee d c l eare d with difficulty about three weeks ago ; but we are sorry to hear that in the higher grounds of Berwickshire con siderable quantities of gra i n are s till e xposed, in consequence of the u n f avoura bl e wea th er . On Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday the rain conti nued with very little intermission. Monday aad Tuesday the Tweed was swollen to an uncommon degree by the rain and spring tides, assisted by a strong easterly breeze.—.Edinb. Even. Courant. LONDON, MURSDAY EVE:' , IING, NOVEMBER 1, 1827. EDINBURGH THEATRE. On Saturday evening Shakespeare's " Comedy 1 of Errors," (or, as it is now given, more correctly n amed .by a contemporary, " Opera of Errors,") was performed for the benefit of Miss Stephens, to ainost fashionable and crowded audience. All parts of the house overflowed, alut notWithstatiding. the " pelting of the pitilesS storm," the doors for an hour ; previous to thOlwttal period or their opening were besieged by anxious crowds. The vocal part fell chiefly upon Miss Stephens, ,and, we need hardly say, was sustained. admirably. She was seconded by. miss Johnston, in , a manner . that called forth the warmest plaudits, particularly the beautiful duets of "Tell me where is, fancy, bred," and As it f e ll upon a day." Miss Stephens gave in the most tolich ing. strain the songs, of " Had hear; for falsehood framed," " There's a tear," " Lo, bear the gentle lark," and "Bid' me discourse," ip the second and third of which she was rapturouSly encored. Messrs. Thorne, Felton, M. Stanley, 'and'Ebsworth, also sung several glees. in the course of the perform , ance. The characters .ef the two Antipholises were sustained by Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Thorne, with this unfortunate 'drawback, that, except in their dresses, there was not the ;:slightest re semblance between . them: The two Drornioi were performed by Mr. Murray and Mr. Mac kay, and their similarity certainly appeared closer than that of the Antipholiies. The . acting in the Comedy may be said to have been confined t 3 the Dromios, whose.meeting in the last Scene was truly comic, and kept the audience in a roar of laughter for several minutes. •At the close of the Comedy Miss Stephens sung " John Anderson my jo;" in . whiOt she vas encored, and many even wished her to sing it a third time. Mr. Murray then caine forward, and was received with the most cordial marks of applause. _When _the cheering had subsided,- he addressed the audience .to the following effect, in the. character of the Lord •Commissioner to the Theatre-Royal, Edinburgh, proroguing lie Theatrical Parliament for the season : " MY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, " I am commanded by cup- dramatic SOvereikn--.- (Laughter)—Mrs. Henry Siddens, to present myself be fore you, a sort of Theatrical"LOrd Commissionet—(Ap plause)—to,express to you the high satisfaction she feels at the 'success which has attended the Theatre during the present season, and' to request your acceptance not only of her best thanks, but that of every member of the establish ment, before we respectfully release you from further at .tenclante, at present, in this our Thespian House of Lords and Commons.,—(Applause.) . , " I have also to inform you, that she continues to re ceive from the Metropolitan Powers assurances , of their -kindly feelings towarils this Theatre— (Applause)—:and that she has formed alliances, not offensive I hope— (Laughter)--.-with several of. the most powerful potentates of the Drama—(Applause)—amongst whose names we may enumerate thste Of Vandehholl; Miss Noel, Charles Kemble, Mathews, %nd your monstrous favourite T.

" Again, tendering our sincere and grateful thanks, I now, in virtue of my commission issued mulerhis'Excel lency the Prompter's Seal, do, in Mrs. H. ,Sieldons' name, and'in'obedience to her commands, ptorogue this session of theatrical amusement until Saturday thelOth day Of No vember next—(applause)—to be then here holden, and respectfully hoping that, on that Occasion, you, our kind friends and legislative, will be found duly returned—(ap plause.)—This House, the entertainments of the evening being; concluded, is accordingly piorogued to Saturday the 13th day .of No veinber."--(Applause. ) 7 --Edinburph Courant. .

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR OCTOBER, The harvest throughout Britain, from no. to south, may now b e said to be universally gather ed and .secured ; and the general average of corn, Pulse,; and root crops, may be pronounced most favourable. This may be safely u nderstood to relate to both quantity and 'quality ; for if, in cold, damp, and exposed situations, part of the crops have been affected by blight and mildew, and,'during the harvest, have been drenched with rain, and kept abroad by fogs and heavy dews, the consequence of which has been a great quan tity of discoloured and sprouted corn, on all our best and most productive soils, harvest has been most speedy and propitious, and the products great and estimable, both in . quantity and qua lity., The wheat crop in Scotland is deemed a full average, with the strange exception of the Carse of Gowrie, where they venture to predict, we hope with a splenetic rashness, that it will not thrash to more than half the quantity of last year's crop : To the credit of the Scots, the practice gains ground of dragging and cleaning. their potatoe grounds, preparatory to, wheat sowing. During last month, the weather being so highly favourable, has,.doubtless,:urged the cul tivators of our.best and-most favoured soils to a premature seeding of their wheat, which was above ground almost immediately, and is even at presentluxiiriant. ' The meadows and. pastures luxuriate in a su perabundant flush', of autumnal that beautiful native green peculi brass, sporting arl§ English, the admiration. of forOgners.—Monilay !Magazine. SUICIDE. Yesterday afternoon, an inquisition was taken at Bridewell. Hospital, before THOMAS SHELTON, Esq. the Coroner, and a respectable Jury, on view of the body a Mr. Wm. Parker, aged 37 years, who com mitted suicide under the following circumstances : Geore Gilbert, a labourer in the employ of Mr. Thc;Mas Cape!, coal-merchant, on Monday afternoon about twelve o'clock, observed the body of a man sticking in the mud, a barge was on it, and from that circumstance it could not be, removed till the tide floated the barge, which occurred about six o'clock, when it was taken to the engine-house in a shell. John. Harper, a beadle, deposed that the last wit ness came and informed him that the body of a man was floating in the river. Witness identified it as the body of Mr. Parker ; there were three wounds on the throat ; he searched hie person, and found some papers, Sd. in copper, and a clasp knife opal], the blade of which was covered with blood. Mr. William Packer, stone-mason, of East-street, Red Lion-square, had known the deceased from childhood ; he was first cousin to witness's wife. The deceased was, unhappily, addicted to excessive drinking. On Sunday night last a person na med Raper, who was assistant to the deceased in his busi : ness, called on witness, at the same ,time giving him a letter which was found in the deceased's bed-room. Witness immediately went to the deceased's house; which he went over, but the deceased was absent. The witness here produced the letter, which he said he believed to be in the handwriting of the deceased,: and which was read by the Coroner, and in substance was nearly as follows 4‘ Dear Wife,-4 hope you will attend to the requests am going to make. Pray to God to forgive me for the act I have committed ; of late I have been the most miserable of men ; my brain has been distracted, I had not been in a; bed from Monday till Saturday night; excessive drinking_ has brought me to such unh a ppiness ; for God' s sa k e . caution the poor children when they grow up, against: drinking; I hope my dear -- Oh my God. I hope you will manage the business better now I am gone, and , that you will save hundreds, as you frequently told me It ought to have done. I forgot to say, that I have left 13/. 10s.: in the parlour in a bag. I hope, please God, you will soon: recover from your illness. I have been a wicked man,; and do pray for my soul : I hope God will forgive me, but really, dear wife, I have so many troubles, I cannot; endure it.—From your unhappy husband, " W. PARKER." Several other witnesses were examined, whose testimonies went to prove that the deceased had of late drank excessively;' and that his mind became much impaired in consequence. The Jury, after consulting about twenty minutes, returned a verdict, " That the deceased first at tempted to destroy himself by cutting his throat, which not doing effectually, he threw himself into the river, being at the time in a fit of temporary de-, rangement."--Thc deceased has left a wife and children.

TAILOR . , This was an action . upon a bond entered into by the defendant as one of the sureties of John Hutchins, the collector of the Eastern Division of the Westminster SeWers. The bond, dated the 25th of May, 1826, and in the penal sum of 20001., was proved by Mr. Thomas White, the attesting witness, and a clerk to the Commissioners. Upon his examination by Mr. 'Qurney,- he said Hutchins was appointed collector On the 3d of Mardi, 1826. Witness told the defendant when e executed the bond.that the margin of the receipts that had been used, and the unused forms, were to be returned by the collectors monthly, for the examination of the Commissioners and their clerks. The Commissioners . - met monthly, and receiv e d the reports, but in point of fact they had.nOt those margins and forms. Th e present bond was taken upon thci - o being a new com mission. Witness had no ►eason to 'suspect Hutchins at that time.

ABUSES IN TRADE. We have been informed-by some of the highest men in the furniture print trade in the metropolis, that the observations which have appeared in this Journal on the practices of some of the London tradesmen are 100 general and indiscriminate. It is far from . our intention' to class with the knaves who are to be foand.behind counters in every street, any man who gets his bread . by other than base means. Our position is, that every man of integrity in trade has more than one competitor to contend against, who will stick at. nothing, and that those swarms of villains who have been working the de struction of the limiest and laborious shopkeeper are sustained and cherished by some opulent wholesale dealers in 'stolen or deceptions articles. There are hundreds of tradesmen who despise and detest for more reasons than that they, are themselves sufferers, the depraved ingenuity which has been introduced of late.years, as it were, amongst the very maxims of trade. That habits of pirating the fair trader, and robbing the public, exist in ,no .ordinary degree, is evident even from the admissions of the cheats themselves, who do not hesitate to exult in plunder ing either a rival shopkeeper or a customer. "-- . the old cat," the very fellow who stole the piece of silk damask said; " she thought to do me, but I was too sharp for her. I did her." Pride ought to step in where there is no virtue, to forbid the bargain hunters from propping up those fair-spoken traf, Pickers. There is not 'one nobleman's, baronet's, judge's, or merchant's wife in the metropolis, ac customed to fly about from shop to s'--top, and from acquaintance to acquaintance, lying and calumniating, who is not the theme bf ridicule - and 'jest amongst the very men whom they recommend, to the pre judice of the honest tradesman. " Why, my Lady," said one of the latter description to one of those hopeful encouragers of the pillaging syStem, " it is impossible that you can get articles at so low a price as you mention, except the seller buys them from a thief or steals them himself."—" Tut, tut," replied her Ladyship, " I tell you I can buy them at that rate, and what is it to me how or from whom he gets them ?" To meet with such customers as this wife of a Noble Lord, it must be admitted, is enough to contaminate the morals of a tradesman who sees fellows, whom nobody knew a year ago,. flourishing under the patronage of the great, and, laughing at those upon whom' they palm their spu rious commodities. It .is with regret that we are compelled to reckon amongst the supporters of the system the-wives of a couple of our Judges ; but the thing is notorious. There is not a shopkeeper at the west end of the town who is not aware of their ladyships' propensity. Surely, then, it could not. be wondered at if the seat of justice were sometimes ; degraded by the manifestation of angry feelings—ill the recollection of,what was going on at home 'were! to irritate and inflame the minds of those who, after! all, are but men, to unworthy and unaccountable: hostilities. The gout or rheumatism is but a trifle in comparison with the mental affliction which must' obtrude itself upon the man appointed to tell the culprit his fate, when he reflects that the wife of his bosom has been avowedly and zealously lending her aid to the promotion of conspiracies against the nioral life of the community. But the taste of those bargain-hunters extends to articles which are more directly comprehended in the list of the prohibited. The moment the word " smuggled" is mentioned, their thoughts and wishes are directed to foreign lace and other articles which bear a heavy duty. No' matter whether blood may have been shed in the". attempt to defraud the revenue—no matter whether the men who vend . the contraband articles join in house-breaking and robbery in the intervals of their professional engagements—they are sure to find pa tronagealllco.thWeres could name amongst sever p a le females,rso ofthe s m ame o s t t h e e xalt e d r widows, wives of statesmen--ladies who no doubt have exercised an unboundedand even tyrannicalinfluence over their husbands,—we could name many of those person ages, as they are called, who have been all their lives thus in league with the most desperate ruffians that ever " flashed off a lugger," or " cellared a crop" at midnight. It is a melancholy fact, that there are in Parliament some individuals who are active in de crying and correcting other abuses, at the same time that they are silent upon the most demoralizing of all abuses—those of trade. We are aware that filial recollections may interfere in the case of some of our reformers to quench the vigour of impartial justice, and to drown the memory of former wrong calcula-: tions of the principles of trade. But these are not: times in which the sins of the father are visited upon the children; The son of a print pirate, who has realized an immense fortune by " imitations," and to check whose plunder in that department of trade,' it had been found necessary to introduce an act into! Parliament, bears some of the reproach, although he shares the profits, and he cannot be better employed than in correcting the evils of which his father is the reputed parent. But the various acts of baseness. consequent upon One great .plan of dishonesty in, trade, would surprise and shock our readers. We shall mention one very common practiee. We have' already spoken to upwards Of- fifty respectable per-. sons who have confirmed the information. A lady, in passing along Holborn, sees a piece of print in . a shop-window, ticketed at a very low price. She enters,and asks for it. The shopman bows to her, and requests she will do him the honout'of stepping to the other end of the shop. She acquiesces,' and presently she finds herself in a place comparatiVely dark, and three or. four fellows busily engaged in throwing down - before: _on • • ~1111." variety of prints, -each oraltirkr -1 16% eu, double the ticketed chaigiiiiit z ., she wished to purchase. She ,requeet4W e gen tlemen will not take so mull 'trouble-, ;I 'she does not intend to buy any article except that which struck her fancy in the window. " Ob,dear, Madam," says one"fellow, " that is a miserable thing compared with those—besides, we have only a yard or two.of that at present, But look at this; there is a beautiful thing. Upon sny honour, madam, I don't get mare ' than 1 per cent. upon that, article?' The lady stilt perseveres; she will not have any other print than that w t h o i ch she exhibit a p t first ec f s r e o l e a c i t alled . partslh 'esse ofha fellows el :iholsoer besieged con time eehsr loepldne o or n d a e l r l t s o i d s c hr e u he s r he in y t i o el a ds pu a r n e d has g e i finds upon examining her purchase, that she is robbed; If she holds out ; what is the alternative of those who have been all bowing and scraping to her ? Why, the miscreants swear that she came but to plunder them—that she is a shop-lifter. We ask those who are bold enough to venture into the penetralia ,of those thieving depositatiegi whether they do not think the character of an innocent person, who may be induced to enter on account of an apparently cheap price, in imminent danger ? Whether these wretches who are constantly on the Ivs;:fil for the unsuspicious, would hesitate to slip into a _ pocket or a woman's muff, unperceived, something which they might, if they found occasion, convert into evidence of robbery ? We have one recent in stance before us of a timid woman, who, :perceiving that the articles exhibited inside the- : shop bore no comparison to -those. which were called counterpaCts in the wiudows; refused to buy. She had' muff at a slight distance from her on the counter, and in taking it up she felt that there was something in it. At this moment. the shopman accused her of taking a roll of riband. She. had. just- her haft(' aPoli the Aiholiaiik.iu.. her muff. Thera, wete Othe; - villains behind the counter, who joined in the charge.. She at once saw her dunger,•her, disgrace. Her tegt , - were scarcely able to support her when the principiti came forward, and witllall imaginable kindness said that there must be some mistake, again exhibited his patterns .before her, and succeeded. She laid out her, money for, trash, but she never entered a shop since. Agents and Custom-house and East India-house officers have been proved to have been tainted with the crime of ruining the fair trader. The iniquity of the great ringleaders has extended itself to all with whom they come in contact. A scene was exhi bited some time ago at the East India - baggage ware , .house, which is well worth recording here. It has been long the practice for persons 'to are tolvllo sent entfi. shawls, oi or China, or otherarticles of value India, to have them valued, instead of waiting for the regular sale. Oriental goods are: generally va lued by the Company's officers, in conjunction with the officers of the Customs, and a duty of 75 pe-: cent. is charged upon the valuation. • It would bci supposed that officers who were ,appointed for the purpose of protecting the King's duty and accom modating the merchant, and who were a sort of check upon each other, would be eery cautious, as to the manner of turning their power to private a.c count. It was found, however, that game of th , d high officers in the baggage department were deep in a system of fraud which had no doubt been cxr , ried on for a series of years; and that not only tha revenue but the fair dealer suffered by the imposi _ tion. Many of the purchasers of valuable articlati were struck with the facilities. which One. or .-two persons in trade found in obtaining whatever they required, without waiting for a sale. Upon close in quiry, however, the accommodation was ascertained to be founded in the grossest fraud. Some China which had been placed in the baggage warehouse, and for which a customer was waiting, ,was valued as usual, but upon being submitted afterwards to impartial judges, it was found to be undervalued nearly 2001. per cent. It also appeared that accord- - ing to the public practice of the .gentlemen of this .warehouse, the number of the •pieces!oc!Chine . was merely mentioned; i t estead 4.the,pactiftnlar desalts tion of 'the' articles ipiek4 ; pap4gogsq. 4R Oat after ,the dellyery fg.. .4WW.!iro l 9usel4 l ,ahrembingitmo Official record to 'detect whether they were 'China jars, each of . the value :241., or petty articles not worth ss. , 'Almost all the proceedings. at the ware house seemed to hinge upon a certain convenient person, who had been an examining officer, but who, on account of dealing in East .India uununodities, ' was, according to the standing . regulation, required to quit the service. 'He was, however, still.em ployed in . stith4 mariner as to enable . him to have constant communication with the warehOnse, hear to Which he kept a- large shop for the sale of East India goods; and he was connected with a dealer in silks, who had had fin many years an extensive monopoly of the shawls disposed of 'at the warehouse, the greater number of which, by some means or other, found their way to his shop. The ex-officer having access to the directions to the presents, and the ships' reports, applied to those owners of articles who, he thought, would dispose of them. Many owners wish to sell off their goods upon a valuation, instead of ad vancing the duties upon them ; anti the silk dealer in question was always called in, through the instru mentality of his friend, to superintend the valuation. The plan was this :—An officer, who was down to the fraud, would set an extremely low value upon an article ; others of the officers,' Who also had their fingers hi the pie, made a shovi . Of objecting, and then the silk-dealer's valuation was brought forward, which eitfiei COnfireneirthe first' valuation, or very slightly iniOaioed upon it. This deciaiOn was always considered filial. The inspector, who was one of the gentlemen iti the secret, had a son, who used to pass the entries, on which his father afterwards officially approved the values, and was one of the two agents employed at the warehouse. The silk-dealer thus, in fact, set a valuation upon his own articles, and his custom was to value a shawl worth 40/. or . 56/. at 20/. or 251., so that he would pocket the difference between the 'fraudulent and the real valuation, whatever commodity the sumin he m the i might have given o firstt iiistenceA divisionfr of profits must of course, in such cases, have taken f o und a great deal of accommodati on in the readiness with which he got bills which were p s l t a y c l e e: The inspector, who lived in very elegant of Very equivocal value discounted; and the other officers met with " their reward." So much had the officers been in the habit of benefiting by wink ing at these frauds, that if a principal in a concern refused to cash ,an inspector's accommodation bill, great pains would be taken to revenge theinsult.— One of the East India brokers, in an intelligent let ter to Mr. Huskisson, says--"' If the officer wants another loan, he goes to another merchant if the latter refuses, he risks being 'singled out whenever 4 • anopportunity, hoWever trifik • occurs; if he com p lies, the officer, as a set-off. • -nes difficultio with the detection of these prs JO. had, however, and in the list of so many maey o r f asea th i e s his creditors were found t4e names of the two per fraudulent companies vs: a lluded failed after sons whom he was in the.habit of obliging.

The other officers, who had for some years been living at a rate of expence not warranted by their ostensible means, after this exposure, dropped back into their ordinary pace, and the en tries with which they used to meddle, although the board would not dare to' correct or alter them with out great caution and ceremony, were no longer sub ject to their bold and dishonest revision. The in jury to which the fair trader was liable from the firstfi N g v which brought ex istence of this flagrant abuse, obvious.
