that f rom the position of S cotland, Intelligence from the Baltic may be received there before it reaches us. The most recent accounts from the Continent are strongly corroborative of the fact announced in the Edinburgh Paper : " We have no reason to discredit the important intelligence contained in the subjoined. extract :—The opinions conveyed through the Continental letters, have, it is true, been of late nearly unanimous in maintaining it probable that the pacific 'relations of Russia with the Porte would continue undisturbed; but it should have been recollected, that most of those commu nications proceeded from Jews and Commercial Agents at Odessa, who, of course, are interested in inducing consignments, Which, perhaps, in the actual circumstances, would not be very Phidently made. The following is an extract of a letter from St. Petersburgh, dated the sth (N. S. 17th) August, which was received by a mercantile house in Glasgow yesterday morning : " Yesterday, some Y. C. tallow was sold. at 140, not, how ever, of first sort ; and this day, for American account, 143 wer e given, at which we are much astonished, as we think at the first price it might have been obtained. We are inclined to believe that the purchase was made with the idea that from the Ttaixtsx :WAIL (which was yesterday declared), the exchange would decline; but the reverse has been the case, and first-rate direct bills were 9i, and afterwards 9g." There can be no doubt that Russia was fully determined to appeal to arms, in case the ultimatum should be refused, as she had made the most vigorous preparations to take the field ; and there are many persons of opinion that, had its terms been acquiesced in, Russia would not have long remained content er - We have received letters and papers from Gib raltar to the 28th ult., and from several other part s of the Mediterranean, from which we ex tract the following : GIBRALTAR, AUG. 24.—NoTicE.--Intelligence of an al arming nature, as to the state of the public health in two or three of the principal towns in Spain, having reached the garrison, the Lieutenant Governor has direCted the establishment of the cordon on the neutral ground, as last year, and persons are or dered not to attempt to pass the same at any other point than w here the Inspectors of Strangers are stationed. The Inspectors of Strangers have, until further notice, parti cular instructions as to the non-admission of strangers ; in the enforcement of which, the officer commanding the guard at the cordon is directed to give them every necessary support.— No resident can absent himself from the garrison longer than f° rtY-eight hours, without subjecting himself to the regulations r "Peeting strangers.

THE HARVEST. PORTSMOUTH. SEPT. 16.-- 7 Owing to the late unfavourable state of the weather, the price of wheat has experienced a most scandalous rise. Till lately the average price was 121. and 121. 10s. a load ; sales effected at 141. were considered high ; and 151. it was supposed, would have been the maximum. But at Wilton and at Chichester, old wheats, on the last market days, were advanced to the enormous price of 241. and 251. per load. By the provisions of the Corn Bill, when the price should amount to 201. a load, in five maritime counties, the importa tion of foreign grain was to be permitted. The expedience and policy of such a measure may now, probably, be felt and un derstood. The people are seldom the best judges of that which most conduces to their own welfare. The unfavourable state of the weather for the harvest is now, from its long continuance, become truly alarming ; complaints are universal among . the farmers, to whom it will undoubtedly prove doubly injurious : they will have wheat and other grain less in quantity, and worse in quality, independent of which, there is every probability that a price by no means commen surate to the scantiness of the crops will be obtained.—(Bath Journal.) Our Launceston Correspondent writes, that the Wheat Crop in the higher part of the country is, in general, more than an average one, and that the greater part has been saved without injury. —(West :Ariton.) LEED s.—Th e harvest weather is very precarious in Yorkshire, but we have had two tolerably favourable days during the pre sent week. The injury done to the corn in this neighbourhood is not yet irreparable. A great portion of it remains to be cut, and though it is in some places much laid by the rains, this is by no means the general state of the crops. We have already commented upon the too common practice of raising delusive expectations, by flatteriog pictures on the eve of harvest, but we see no adequate cause for that despondent feeling which had, in one week, added 10s. a quarter to the price of W heat. We hear that the harvest weather in Scotland has been remarkably fine ; from Ireland and Wales the accounts are less favourable. DON CASTER.—IIe harvest in this neighiyourhood has be come general, and a great quantity of corn has been housed dur ing last week, in good coatlition. The weather 'of late has been rather unfavourable for the harvest ; but Wheat has not taken so much harm in this neigh bourhood as we hear it has in the southern counties; in con sequence of which the prices are advancing in those counties. Oats, although short in the straw, are well filled. The first new Oats shown in our market were on the 24th of August, and proved well, weighing 23 stone per load, and were admired as a tine sample.—(ltendal Chronicle.) A large portion of the wheat harvest in this neighbourhood has been secured, but a great quantity of barley, oats, and beans, still remain on the grottnd. In the Eastern and Southern parts of this County, the appearance of the crops of grain of every description, is distressing, the whole having been expos ed to the late bad weather, so that not a twentieth part of the harvest has been got in : theyroduce is consequently deteriorat ing in a rapid and alarming degree. Experienced farmers assure us that so troublesome, expensive, and unfavourable a harvest has not been witnessed for the last forty years.—(Taun ton Courier.) 'We are sorry to state that the letters of our Correspondents, in different parts of Sussex, represent it as most painful and distressing to witness the corn standing . in the fields, with scarcely any prospect of the weather permitting it to be removed in a proffer state to the barns. Not more than one-third, in many districts, has been housed. This unfavourable turn to the harvest has caused all the markets to rise—and the quartern loaf to advance already .10. !-:-(Brighton Herald.) We have a good deal of correspondence this week, and many serious complaints on the great rise in the price of flour in this town, to all which, we can only say at present, that, in our opi. nion, there is no necessity for it, and that it will come down again. We are inclined to think, that great damage is more in anticipation than fact, and that it will eventually turn out that the produce of ,Urain is both abundant and well got in.--(Hull Paper.) There has been,• we are sorry to say, a very unfavourable break in our harvest weather, and we are now getting our turn of those rains which have done so much harm in England and Ireland. Fortunately a considerable quantity of wheat was stacked in good condition while the weather was favourable, and it is not supposed that as yet much injury has been done to the stocked or standing victual.—(Glasgow Herald.) In this district wheat has the appearance of a most abundant crop,.although much is laid, and some discoloured. Barley an average crop, but oats below it. Beans and turnips very su perior crops. It is not expected that the quantity of fat cattle will be great, the land having been sparingly stocked, from more causes than one. Store cattle have declined very greatly in price, and are expected to do still more. Sheep are considered to be very abundant in number, partly owing to the great scarcity of both summer and winter Weeping last year, also to the late favourable lambing season, and partly from the quan tity kept back by the ruinous prices of the spring markets. The supply of Mutton this autumn will be very great, as well as stores.—(Falkingham, Lincolnshire.) Yesterday at two o'clock his MAJESTY held a Privy Council at his Palace in Pall-mall, at which were present—The Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Westmoreland, the Earl of Harrell - )y, Viscount Sidmouth, the Mar quis of Londonderry, Earl Bathurst, the Right lion. N. Vansittart, Viscount Melville, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Maryborough, and Lord Stewart.—Parliament was further prorogued from the 2Gth of September, to a future period.—Lord Graves and Col. Watley were the Lord and Groom in Waiting.—The RECORDER of London made his Report to his Majesty in Council, of the convicts capitally convicted at the. ld Bailey Sessions.—After the Council, R. Birnie, Esq. was introduced to his Majesty by Viscount Sid mouth, as Chief Magistrate of Police ; upon which occasion his Majesty was graciously pleased to confer on him the honour of Knighthood. Accounts were yesterday received in Glasgow of a destructive fire which had taken place in Montreal. Several stores anti other property to the amount of 45,000/. were consumed. Only oneitalf the latter was covered by insurance.— (Glasgow Courier, Sept. 15.) MIDDr:gEt SESSIONS. Yesterday' jAmEs Thoitnsom, who was convicted iii• the last week of Perjury, in the evidence he g ave on a prosecution against a person of the name of Bernell (who had been tried during a former Sessions for obtaining money under false pre = tences, by pretending that Mr. Thompson had employed him to collect a debt of one Elizabeth Harrington, when in fact he had never so employed hiiii, and for bringing an action against the said Harrington at the suit of the said Thompson, when in truth he had never authorized hitn to bring any such action), Was this day brought up for judgment, when just as the Chair ' man was about to proceed, the Jury stated by their Foreman that they earnestly recommended 111111 to the Court, on account of the extraordinary goOd charactei he had always borne. The Chairman, therefore, (Icferred passing the sentence, saying he ' expected sonic of the Bench who were present at the trial would come into Court ; but none appearing for a length of time, he addressed theprisoner, saying, it was always an uncomfortable duty to pronounce a j udgment on the perpetration of Such a crime as that of whic h he was accused, in any point of view ; but in the case of a man, whose whole life had been passed in the society of hil neighbours, not only witholit reproach, but with such observances of all social duties as induced not only a great number of them to bear testimony to his character, and those witnesses supported by the unusual number of others ' who state they would willingly depose upon oath what their Petition testifies ; and again, in addition to these, the recom mendation Of the Jury who tried him, the task becomes still more arduous, for the conflicting circumstance of a Verdict of Guilty on oue side, with these applications on the other, must create a dilemma in a case where discretion is to be exercised ; for first, it makes it necessary to advert to the former case which procured the conviction of Bernell, who most naturally look with the utmost anxiety to th e result of your sentence, as the evidence against you now was the evidence against him at his trial, with the addition of your testimony ; he was convicted of having (without being employed by you) brought an action in your name, and you swore you had never employed him, nor authorized him so to do-- ; anti that you had never stated to any body that you had do so.--liow, 'Mr.. Perkins swore at your trial, that you had in his presence demanded the money he had recovered from Harrington, and that Bernal refused to pay you, which he particularly remembered, as lie would have paid you for him; it is true, he did n o t so swear a t Bernall's trial, but that I pointed out to the Jury for their consideration—again, Jr. Stead swore you inquired of him after Bernal, and stated he was employed by you—and John Alderson stated, that when the action was brought, you mentioned to him it was brought by a man employed by you * and he was corroborated by two other persons—it is true, that you never gave him (Ber nell) authority to bring the action, and certainly he was not justified in doing so without your special warranty, any more than in retaining the money after he had received it for you ; but, although that was the case, and lie was amenable to Jus tice under an Act of Parliament, yet, that made no difference in the case in which you were the promoter. There was no way, therefore, of acquitting you of swearing falsely, except by sup posing, that by employing, you meant giving him legal autho rity—this circumstance, I also submitted to the Jury; but, as you swore you never had employed :him, and yet evidently wished to take the money he had received ; the Jury were limited to this alternative, that you either spoke falsely to all these persons—and only spoke the truth when called to your oath —or, that you Han employed him and falsely denied it upon oath when you wished to convict him—the Jury adopted the latter conclusion. Uncle; all the circumstances of the case, therefore, the Judgment is, " That von be imprisoned in the House of Correction for the space of six months." THE KING v. WHITE AND OTHERS.—This way an indict ment at the suit of the parish of Paddington against the de fendants, for keeping a house for the exhibition of unlawful games, such as dog fighting, monkey fighting, badger baiting, &c. in Harper's fields, Edgeware-road, to the great annoyance of the neighbourhood. At the suggestion of counsel, they pleaded guilty,`upon condition of being only required to enter into recognizances to appear befbre the Court to receive judg ment when called upon, in case they should be again guilty of such offences. SUDDEN DEAT On Sunday se'nniglit an unexpected occurrence took place at a well known tavern in Catherine-street, Strand, which has thrown a respectable family into the deepest affliction. On the preceding night Major S—, who was in a very weak • and emaciated state, dined at Osborn's Hotel, in the Aaelphi, and, after dinner, ajDerson called by appointment, whom he ac companied to the Theatre. After the evening's entertainment was concluded, they were driven to the * * • * in Catherine street: They had not been long there before the 111ajor way attacked with severe indisposition. The waiter was called,. and a bottle of soda water proeured at.the request of the Major, who immediately drank it, but was in an instant seized with excruciating pain and fell into a fit. Dr. Hume was sent for, who arrived very promptly, and rendered assist ance to the unfortunate man. On Sunday evening the Major, having become worse, breathed his last. A t eleven o'clock at night the body was removed in a coffin to Osborn's Hotel, where he had for some • time previously resided. All the deceased's friends reside in Dublin, and letters were sent off, communicating the intelligence to them. The deceased was a middle-aged man. Means having been taken to conceal the cir cumstances attending the Major s sudden death, and to inter the body privately, the Cell, the Coroner for Westmin ster, on receiving information of the fact, issued his warrant to hold an inquisition thereon. The beadle of the parish in which the body of Major S—r lies, presented on Saturday night to the Coroner (J. H. Gell, Esq.) a letter from a medical gen tleman, ,whose son attended the deceased during his indisposi tion. The beadle stated that it was the wish of the friends of the deceased to prevent an exposition of the lamentable affair ; and if he (the Coroner) would give his warrant for the inter ment of the body, without an inquest being held on it, it would greatly oblige them. The following is the letter addressed to the Coroner:— " No. 108, Lone acre, Sept. 15,1221. " These are to certify that the late - Major S—, who died on the 9th instant, was attended by three medical gentlemen ; that my son, who is a regular surgeon, - was one of them; that all the medicines were prepared by . myself : and that the only cause of the death of the said Major S— was a decided and clear case of apoplexy, and nothing else. Dr. Mackinnon, of John-street, attended also on the deceased, and, if required, will confirm this statement. " JOS. HUME, Chemist." To which the Coroner gave the following answer : " Sept. 15, 1821. " Sir,—Perhaps it might not be decent in me to desire the parish officers to obtain the warrant for summoning a Jury; but, from what is reported, and under all the circumstances, I should think it would be far more satisfactory to all parties that an inquisition should be held on the body. I have heard no evidence, and unless an inquest take place 1 cannot sanction the burial of the deceased, though Ido not purpose taking steps myself to prevent it. " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, " H. GELL, Coroner." `l-P.S.. I apprehend that any dissatisfied parishioner might cause the inquiry to take place, by calling upon me to issue rejr warrant to bold an inquest." On the Coroner giving the beadle the above letter, the beadle stated that the corpse was soldered up in a leaden coffin, and it must be broken open if an inquest was indispensable. Coroner—" I can only say, that if the body is interred with out an inquest being held thereon, it will, probably, be my duty ter order it to be disinterred, atulsuch-a circumstance ought to be avoided." The KING, we believe, will leave town on Saturday next for the Continent, on his way to Hanover. Ills MAJESTY, it i 3 said, will embark at Dover for Calais, and make a short stay at the Silver. Lion in that place, whilst the Royal car riages, &c. are landing. We understand that a Council of Regency -was appointed yesterday.— (Morning Herald.) Yesterday the Dukes of YORK and CLARENCE, and the Princess SoPut A, visited the KING at his Palace in Pall-Mall. On Saturday morning the Duke of Sitxt MEI NINGEN and suite arrived at Dover, and shortly afterwards embarked from France, under a sa lute from the guns at the heights. A private- letter from Weimar states, that the inauguration of the statue of LUTHER will take place at. Willemberg, with extraordinary solem nity, by special order of the Court of Berlin. The King and Princess -of PRUSSIA, the reigning and other Princes of SAXE-WEIMAR, ANIIALT, MECRLENBURGII, WTIRTEMBERG, JIESSE, BADEN, GOTIIA COBURG, &c. received invitations to be present. This extraordinary solemnity takes place in consequence of some disgust recently given to the German Protestants, by the commu nications between the Court of Berlin and the See of Rome. POETRY: THE RUINS OF PCESTUM; An Oxford Prize Poem.lB2l. 'Mid the deep silence df die pathless wild, Where kindlier nature once profusely smiled, The eternal temples stand—untold their age, Untraced their annals in the historic page, All that around them stood now far away, Singlt' in ruin, mighty in decay ! Between the mountains and the azure main, They claim the empire of the lonely plain ; In solemn beauty through the clear blue light The Doric columns rear their massive height- Emblems of strength untamed—yet conquering Time Has mellowed half the sternness of their prime, And bade the lichen and the ruins lone Embrown with darker tints the vivid Stone ; Each channel'd pillar of the fane appears Unspoil'd, yet soften'd by consuming yearS, So calmly awful,- so serenely fair, The gaier's heart still mutely worships there. Not always thus—When beam'd beneath the day No fairer scene than Pcestum's lovely bay, When her light soil bore fruit of every hue, And twice each year her far-famed roses blew ; While bards her blooming honours loved to sing, And Tuscan zephyrs fanned tile eternal spring. Proud in her port the Tyrians moored their fleets, And health and commerce filled her peopled streets. While here the rescued mariner adored The sea's dread sovereign, Posidonia's lord, With votive tablets decked yon hallowed walls, Or sued for justice in her ample halls. There stood on high the white,robed flamen—there • The opening portal poured the choral prayer, While to the o'er-arching Heaven swell'd full the sound, And incense blaz'd, and myriads knelt around. 'Tis past—the echoes of 'the plain are mute, E'en to the herdman's call and shepherd's flute. The toils of art, the charms of nature fail, And death triumphant rides the tainted gale ; From the lone spot the trembling peasants haste; A wild the garden, and the town a waste. But these are still the same—al ice they mock The invader's menace, and the tempest's shock. Such, ere the ivorldlad bowed to Caesar's thrdne, Ere yet proud Rome's all-conquering name was known, They stood : and fleeting centuries in vain Have poured their fury o'er the enduring fane. Such long shall stand, proud relics of a clime. 'Where man was glorious, and his works sublime; While in the progress of their long decay, Thrones sink to dust, and nations pass away.

This was followed bk three times four cheers, amidst the general acclamations of the multitude, and a feu de joy° from the permanent staff of the Edinburgh militia, whilst the military band struck up " God save the King." Immediately after the ceremony, the Colliers' Society, accompanied by their wives and chil dren, as al4o the 'Newhattle and Easthouses So ciety of Youths, With their respective banners flying, passed by the windows of the Abbey, in profession. preceded by two regimental bands of music. They then formed in the avenue, where they were met by a great portion of the popula tion.of the parish. Breakfasts, dinners, balls, and entertainments of different kinds, were given on this occasion at the Abbey, and in different parts of the parish, to celebrate the great and happy event of his Majesty's coronation, viz.— A dinner for all the tenantry ; a dinner for the serjeants, corporals; and drummers of the Edin burgh militia ;—a dinner at Easthouses for the col liers, and other dependents, of which last up wards of 400 persons partook.

At nine o'clock these parties adjourned, for an interval, to see the fire-works on the hill near the Roman Camp, under the_ direction of O'Neil, fire-work-maker, in Edinburgh. These consisted principally of repeated discharges of rockets, se veral dozens in each flight, and tin "^-"-I -lat;oo. or tserigai lignts, which illuminated the whole country for mites around.. At the different tables, it was announced, that with a view to the comforts of the poor, and to impress the minds of the parishioners with the recollection of the great and interesting circum stances of the coronation,—the following dona tions would be issued on the sth day of Novem ber next, by the Minister and Elders of the parish of Newbattle, under the direction of the Marchioness :—one hundred cart loads of coals ; 100 bolls of meal ; 500 yards of flannel and blanketting ; and donations to each of the youths' societies. Words cannot do justice to the festivities of the day and night ;—not a dis contented spirit, not a mourning habit to be seen from one end of the parish to the other. It was an epidemical fever of loyalty which raged throughout, lighting up the countenances of men, women, and children, and bursting forth occa sionally-in cheers, shouts, and huzzaing in ho nour of the King, sufficient to rouse from their graves the sleepiwg monks of the old monastery.-- (Edinburgh Correspoizdcnt.)
