THE KING. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST TWO O'CLOCK. The KING had not returned to Milford Ha ven on Wednesday, and as there are no ad vices of his having put into any other port, there is little doubt that his MAJESTY has weathered the Land's End, and we shall probably next hear of him at one of the ports in the English Channel. [From the Morning Papers.] HAYERPO RD WEST, SEPT. 10.--In the forenoon of yesterday the Royal standard was descried, and speedily afterwards the splendid yacht, with the King of ENGLAND on board, was seen work ing into the harbour. It is impossible to describe the feeling which seemed to pervade the whole population of the town and neighbourhood ; one impulse alone appeared to direct them, and that was of the most warm and affectionate attach ment for their Sovereign. The joyful intelli gence quickly spread through the surrounding country, and in a short time throngs of well dressed people began to arrive, and took the earliest opportunities of procuring boats, plea sure vessels, &c. to take them alongside the superb vessel which his Majesty was on board of ; their anxious expectations were, however, disappointed, owing, as it is said, to the indisposition of his Majesty, who felt tile effects of the tremendous night of Saturday. Crowds of boats continued a long time to sur round the Royal yacht, and hearty and conti nued cheers were heard, but the King did not appear. The town of Milford was brilliantly illuminated in the evening.—The Mayor and Council of this Borough were in waiting to know his Majesty's pleasure as to their presenting him an Address of Congratulation, but the answer was, that his Majesty did not intend to land. PEMBROKE, SEPT. 1 I.—Sai led from Milford this morning, at five o'clock, the Royal squadron, with his MAJESTY on board, it being more mode rate, with wind at West. His MAJESTY con tinued so indisposed yesterday, as to render him unable to gratify the curiosity of the 'numerous spectators. His MAJESTY, however, was pleased to express his entire satisfaction at the unanimous loyalty evinced during his stay in the harbour. In the evening a general illumination again took place. MERCANTILE SHIPPING, &c. DEAL, SEPT. 13.—Wind W.N.W.—Put back the Stentor, for Baltimore ; Triton, for Miramichi; and Hero, for Deme rara ; the latter with her sails damaged.

Sailed his Majesty's ship Tartar for Ply mouth. DOVER, SEPT. 13—The Dock-yard lighter "Deal," which was on shore, has been got off and brought in here, after land ing all her stores ; she is much strained, and full of water. The Windsor East Indiaman was spoken with off the Cape. Letters by her have been brought home by the Achilles, arrived at Bristol. SUPPOSED LOSS OF A SHIP'S CREW IN A.STORM.—Let ters from Ostend, of the 4th instant, state, that on the previou s day, the master of the fishing smack, the Jeune Francais, whon out at sea, descried a large ship, without any mast, and having all the appearance of being shattered in a storm. They imme diately made towards her, and found that she was in a d.evlora ble state, without a single human being on board. Several vessels went out for the purpose of towing her into Ostend or Blankenburgh. There are no marks about the vessel by which her name, or the nation she belonged to, might be discovered. One of the sails had on it the name, C. Rycke. It is expected that some further particulars will soon transpire. On the 27th of June, a Russian ship of war, of 110 guns, was launched at Cherson, called The Emperor Francis. The following vessels have arrived at Peterhead, being the last of the season from the Greenland Whale Fishery i—The Ocean, late Reid, with one fish ; brig Mary, Thom, with 10 fish, and 1600 seals, about 120 tuns of oil, a full ship ; and the Eclipse, Souter, with 12 fish, 120 tuns of oil. 1n the narrative. of the melancholy loss of the Earl Moira packet, it was stated, that between six and seven o'clock on the morning of the awful catastrophe, a ‘ gentleman courageously plunged into the sea, in the hope of reaching the shore by swimming, and procuring assistance for the survivors on the wreck. When we wrote that narrative, we were unable to state whether he had been so fortunate as to reach the land, al though we deemed it but too probable that he had perished in the bold and humane attempt. We .have since learned, that this was the melancholy fact. The gentleman was Captain Bagnall, of the 27th regiment, whose body was found about a week after, anti interred in St. Mary's Church, Edge-hill.— (Liverpool Courier, September 12.) THE ARMY. 'Wednesday 400 men belonging to the Invalid Establish ment, Fort Pitt, Chatham, marched for Chelsea, under the command of Capt. Bentley, Military Staff, Fort Pitt. The right wing of the 23d Fusileers marched on Friday for Londonderry. The left wing followed on Saturday. The Depots of the 85th, 67th, and 47th, which have been stationed at Winchester some time, under the command of Major Bowen, were to march out of that garrison this day to join the depot in the Isle of Wight. The 3d regiment (or Buffs), quartered in Mullingar about ten months, have received a route for Liverpool, and then pro ceed to Chatham, from whence they take shipping for New South Wales. The first division marched on Monday last.— The Buffs have got orders to retain the Officers of the 9th com pany, in consequence of their being intended for foreign ser vice. The 88th regiment (or Connaught Ranger) are to occupy these quarters. On Sunday and yesterday (the 9th and 10th inst.) a part of the 3d regiment of foot arrived here from Ireland,, and have since marched for Chatham.—(Liverpool Advertiser.) THE HARVEST, &c. CORN-EXCHANGE, SEPT. 14.—From the conti nuance of wet, and the prospect so bad for the getting in the remainder of the harvest in any condition for use, added to the short supply of every thing this morning, nothing material having arrived since Monday, caused a brisk demand for Wheat, and an advance of from 4s. to ss. since Monday, and in other Grain from 3s. to 4s. ; trade brisk. The following is an extract of a letter from a traveller of Bedford :—" Our wheat crops are generally housed, and, I am happy to say, they have sustained little injury. The barley and oats, I am fearful, will not be so fortunate, as the weather is now very unfavourable." In the \Vaterford Market, on Monday last, there was a con siderable decline in the price of corn, which seems to indicate that the appearance of the produce of the harvest in that quar ter is not unpromising. Prime wheat was bought at 295. (Irish bushel); the general currency, 275. to 28s. Prime oats, I ls. to I Is. 6d. The harvest is going briskly forward in almost every part of this district ; but some farmers that were ready to lead have been rather interrupted by tile refreshing showers that have fallen within the last three days. The demand for shearers this week has not been considerable. —(Dumfries Courier.) The harvest has generally 'commenced throughout this county, and in this neighbourhood it is considerably advanced. In many fields around Ayr the oats are so short and slender, that it is difficult for the reapers-to lay hold of them, and their appearance in the sheaf is the most puny that we ever remem ber to have seen. This, however, is owing to the extreme lightness of the soil, on which the drought has had a worse effect than in other places ; but throughout Ayrshire the crops in general are much lighter in the sheaf than we had anticipated, not excepting the wheat, vhich had so promising an appearance. The gram will be good, and will yield in proportion to the bulk ; but there will be a miserable deficiency of fodder. From the equal manner in which the crops have ripened, the harvest promises to be of short continuance. The weather has, I. , een very squally for some time, accompanied with showers.—(Ayr Courier.) _ _ The fine weather yesterday (Tuesday last) must have proved highly . acceptable to the farmers of this county, although a large quantity of wheat has been so seriously injured by the late rains, that we fear it will be worth very little in the market. We hope our agricultural friends who possess kilns have used them to dry the corn housed in a wet state, after being thrashed, as they will find the corn so dried to make excellent flour. The pea crops are generally ruined throughout the county, by the continued wet, and will be of little use to the grower, except for fodder ; the beans have also suffered. The barley and oats have likewise been greatly injured, but we hope not to the ex tent we have heard. The hops are a large crop, but there is a general complaint of the mould, and we tear the quality will be indifferent, if this is the case. The potatoes we believe to be abundant. The apples have mostly failed ; in some favoured spots, however, there are good crops. Upon the whole, we do not recollect a more trying season for the farmer than the pre sent one.—(Hereford J`ournal.) We regret to say, that so much rain has fallen since our last as to prevent the farmer making much progress in his harvest; a great quantity of wheat has undoubtedly been.in a great mea sure spoiled, but we still hope that the crop has not been so generally injured as has been ' represented, and that, with care, a considerable portion may be yet got together in a tolerable state ; in some parts of the kingdom the crop was secured before the bad weather commenced. In many instances it has becom..; necessary to open ricks which were put together in- too damp a state.—Barley and Oats have been much injured • the Pea crops are generally ruined, and the Beans have suffered.—The Potatoe crop is abundant, but the continued wet has hurt them.—The Corn Markets still continue to rise.—We are sorry to add, that there appears no immediate prospect of an alteration in the weather. In passing through the country it is distressing to see the labours of the husbandman suspended, while so much beautiful corn, perfectly ripe, remains to be secured.—( Worcester Journal, Sept. 13.) HACKLING.—A Correspondent says—" In passing through this and the adjoining counties, I have been much surprised to observe how few farmers have adopted the practice of hackling their wheat, though there never was a season in which it was more required, or which more clearly skewed the utility of the precaution I have in several instances seen one field of wheat thus secured, and the next piece, belonging to another farmer, left to the mercy of the rain ; the consequence was that in-one case the wheat was kept dry, and in the other spoiled. What fair argument is there against hackling ?"—(lbid.) HOP INTELLIGENCE. WORCESTER, SEPT. 12.—1 n our market on Saturday 16 pockets of old hops were weighed; prices 40s. to 60s.—There were 14 New Pockets at market; 60s. was asked for them, but they were not sold, the sample being indifferent.—There are partial complaints from the Plantation of mould,' but no doubt a great abundance of fine hops will be grown. We take this opportunity of cautioning the Planters not to hurry the hops over the kiln. —Picking has commenced, chiefly where the mould is observed ; it will be very general next week ; hands are scarce. CORN TRADE OF EGYPT. [EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 25.] The immense quantity of grain which has been soffit in the course of the present year to Constantinople has induced me to ascertain as nearly as possible how much that capital imports annually from the land of Egypt: I subjoin the result of my researches, as a sort of statistical account, which will prove to you the richness and fertility of this country. Wheat, 1,500,000 quintals (ancient weight of France) ; pulse, 000,000 quintals; grain of different sorts, such as maize, len tiles, lupins, &c. 950,000 quintals ; rice, 700,000 quintals • flax, 30,000 quintals ; hemp 15,000 quintals ; linseed oil, 12,000 quintals ; saffron, 22,000 quintals ; indigo pastel, 2,000 quin tals, soda, 60,000 quintals ; nitron, 1,000,000 quintals ; salt of nitre, 50,000 quintals ; wool, 50,000 quintals ; raw and refined sugar, 33,000 quintals; hides, raw and dressed, 40,000. There have been exported ~ up to this day for Constantinople 600,000 quintals of wheat, and 400,000 quintals of rice. These exports, it is affirmed, have already doubled those of ordinary seasons, and the governor is afraid that not one half has reached its proper destination. He has been at least informed that several cargoes and entire convoys have been intercepted by the Greeks. Many persons haVe wished, at the departure of vessels laden with grain, that they might never reach the port to which they were consigned, and that their cargoes might be divided be tween the two hostile camps. It would appear that their wishes have been realized. It is doubtful whether Mahomed Ali could have furnished such a quantity of provisions, if he had not been public spirited enough to complete the line of inland navigation from Daman honk to Alexandria, and which enables the boats to dispense with the dangerous passage across the bar of the Mediterranean. The grain sent annually to Constantinople is not the only tribute which the Pacha is obliged to pay to the Ottoman Porte. lie is also bound to find subsistence for a specified number of days to the great caravan which passes every year from the coasts of Barbary to Mecca, and to those who set out every third year from the states of Morocco for the same pilgrimage. The subsistence of the holy Cities of Medina and Mecea is likewise supplied by Egypt, and it is Ali who regularly sends a competent gratuity for their consumption. All these facts prove the fertility and the abundance of Egypt : history informs us truly, that before Constantine's time Egypt and Africa maintained Home ; but after that Emperor had re moved the seat of the empire to Byzantium, Egypt was charged with furnishing provisionfor the latter capital. The records of the empire inform us moreover, that the trans port of grain from Alexandria was under the direction of an officer subordinate to the prefect of the pretorship of the east, and the transport of grain from Africa of the prefect of the pre torship of the west. The former of these inspectors resides at Alexandria, and the latter at Carthage. It is worthy of remark, that history has not neglected to publish the quantity of Grain brought yearly from Egypt to Constantinople, and it appears to have varied, as at present, ac cording to the diversity ofseasons, wants, and circumstances. 1 mention these facts to show that nothing has been changed for the supply of the capital of the Ottoman empire, and that the Pacha of Egypt, in sending to it the grain necessary for its consumption, has performed the • duties of prefect under the eastern pretorship. Advices from Upper Egypt mention, that the `ti ahabite tribes seem willing to profit by the war which the Porte has to main tain against the Greeks, and perhaps against some other Euro pean Power, for the purpose of shaking °tithe yoke and taking up arms; and even affirm that a partof the troops which have recent ly been fighting the Mainaltikes in the vicinity of Dongola has been sent into Arabia, to form a camp of observation, and to preserve Medina and Mecca from any surprise. Ido not vouch ror the authenticity of this news. It is not, however, at va riance with probability and the enterprise of those warlike tribes. Not a single vessel has sailed for Europe during the last 12 days, and for upwards of three weeks there have entered this harbour only boats from Damietta or Rosetta, and a few traders from the Grecian islands, which bring to us persecuted Chris tians who abandon their country to take refuge in Egypt. If, according to reports, the Greek fleet get the superiority in the M editerranean, and maintain the blockade of the Darda nelles, it will deprive the capital of the Ottoman Empire of the means of receiving a supply of an article of the first necessity, more especially as it is understood here that the navigation of the Euxine is in some degree interdicted by Russia.—(Monitcur.) POETRY. SONG. • DT THE SPIRIT OF A DANDY. Oh wake thee not, dearest ! no Demon hath started To brood upon raven-wing o'er thee ; I'm the spirit polite of a BEAL- that's departed, And linger on earth to adore thee ! Too tenderly fram'd for this rude world of man, And for kindlier regions intended, I was slain with a frown and the flirt of a fan, And to Folly's Elysium ascended : There fops of all ages for ever are hymning The charms of young beauties like you, Love ; On wings of white lace from some gay coquette's trimming, Or cut from her last billet-doux, Love ! There lightly on clouds, in their tandems aerial, The spirits of " four in hand Hectors," With boot unsubstantial, and harness unreal, Astonish pedestrian spectres. There dance we and sing we as softly as syrens, • But nought from this world that's plebeian, One only sweet lyric of Moore or of Byron's— One only quadrille—, 4 the Psychean." And lo ! on.the moon-beam in silence I slip, From eternity's region of blisses, To fan with my pinions thy bosom and lip Till thy dreams be of sighs and of kisses. But the pale dawn awakes—l must fly, Love, from thee, Ere her smile in the east she discloses : To a light dejeunee upon lavender tea, • And purified otto of roses ! REGISTER OF FASHION.

GENUINE ANECDOTE.-(PAT'S JOURNEY TO TOWN.) — Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, lately riding out in the vicinity of Dublin, met a traveller well mounted, whom he quickly re cognised for a countryman cf his own ; he therefore familiarly accosted him, by asking him where he had come from, to which the other quickly replied, " From Tipperary, your honour." " And whither going ?" said Sir Benjamin. Why, your honour, no farther than Dublin, just to see the King." What, man, all the way to Dublin only to see the King ?" said Sir Benjamin. " Why not ?" rejoined the other : DIDN'T HE COME TWICE AS FAIL TO SEE ME ?" Sir Benjamin was satisfied, and rode off highly delighted with the naivette of his countryman. A E cDorr E.—An Englishman, who, attracted by the amo nity of the climate, wished to fix his residence in 'Naples, de sired his banker to look out for a villa for him, which was done, and the gentleman regularly. installed in his purchase: the next day, however, he came in much hurry and alarm to his banker, to say, he was determined to be off, for a fellow had assailed him with a claim for 12,000 crowns, which he swore had been lent half a dozen years ago, though the poor Englishman was scarcely a month old in Italy. How many witnesses has he got to prove it ? said the banker. No less than ten. What is to be done ? Acknowledge having received the money. Ac knowledge the debt ? Certainly, and we will get 20 witnesses to swear that they saw you repay it. This was decisive; for the law suit was settled by a simple rejoinder, and meeting the cheat upon his own terms.

THE THEATRE.—We have before noticed the representation of The Marriage of Figaro at the new Haymarket Theatre ; but the general merit of the performance entitles it to renewed atten tion. The piece was performed again last night, and such has been its previous impression, that a crowded audience attended on this occasion; and the whole was received with very great ap plause. No doubt, however, the new Theatre has no slight operation on public curiosity. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 12.—1 t has been blowing a gale from the westward the whole of last night and the greater part of this day, accompanied with rain. So heavy was the swell this morning, as to interrupt our communication with the ship ping. The Tyne is still detained at Cowes by adverse winds, having on board Lord AUCK LAND, for Bordeaux ; and Mr. BENT, M.P., for Demerara. The Tartar frigate is ordered round to Plymouth, to be paid off, where the Iphi genia is fitting out, to replace her on the African station. From the tempestuous state of the wea ther, it is imagined that the KING has landed at some Cambrian port, and proceeded thence to the Metropolis, where, in all probability, his MAJESTY may haw arrived by this. The Hy perion, from Plymouth Sound, cannot yet have sailed with Lord CHARLES SOMERSET, for the Cape. She touches first at Madeira, and then proceeds to her destination. But the same winds which delay the departure of the outward-bound vessels' from this port, will operate• to the deten tion of those lower down the Channel. At pre sent, there seems to be little prospect of any change. His Grace the Duke of MANCHESTER has proceeded to London; Sir JOHN KEENE has joined his family at Southsea. FIRE IN GRACECHURCH-STREET. Yesterday evening, at a quarter past &wen o'clock, an Inqui sition was taken at the George and Vulture Tavern, George vard, Lombard-street, before Taos. SHELTON, Esq., Coroner for London and Southwark, on the bodies of Hope Parkins, Abraham Jackson, and another man unknown, who perished at the above fire. Samuel Burstin, of Three King-court, Lombard -street, tire ' man to the London Assurance Office, stated, that when he and the deceased, Parkins, arrived in Gracechurch-street, they found Mr. Ryan's house oil tire; they went up to the first floor, and found that and the greater part of the premises in flames. Parkins took down the clock, and went down stairs with it. Witness received a weighty box, which he imaginel contained cash, and took it out at the window; but when he came to the house of Mr. Collins, where he intended to deposit it, the lid came off; and he discovered it only contained brown sugar; on his return the house had become such a prey to the devour. ing element, that any further attempts to save it were fruitless ; he consequently went to play upon the house of Mr. Bull, which was insured in their office. The body of Parkins was found on Wednesday morning under the writing-desk, at the house of Mr. Ryan ; the same evening the body of Jack son was discovered also in the ruins of the same house. Jack son was a turucock belonging to the London Fire Office. An other fireman assisted in taking down some china, and a look ing-glass, at Mr. Ryan's house. He saw Parkins coming down with a glass; he afterwards returned up stairs, and found the staircase above the dining-room on fire, as also the kitchen : not seeing any of his fellow-servants, he came out; in a quarter of an hour afterwards the roof and walls fell in ; he could not say accurately in which house the fire broke out, as they were nearly all on fire at the same moment. Here it was observed by several of the Jury that the houses had been in a very dilapidated state. Mr. Ryan said, he heard an alarm of fire in the street ; he opened the window but saw no fire ; he alarmed the family, his servants brought down their boxes • he got his books from the counting-house, and also his cashbox ; but still saw no ap pearance of fire. He looked towards Mr. Fossack's, next door, but still saw no fire. He then returned up stairs, and found the whole place in flames, and the heat was so intense that he was obliged, to retreat as fast as possible. . There was no evidence to spew how the Turncock or the other man came to be there, nor could their deaths be accounted for, otherwise than from the circumstance of their bodies being found in the ruins of Mr._Ryan's house, where it is conj2ctur ed they went to render assistance, or to save some part of the property. Verdict—That the deceased persons came to their deaths by accident. FIRE IN PRINCES-STREET, SOHO. Wednesday night a Coroner's Inquest was held at the Three Crowns., Richmond -street, Soho-square, before Thos. Iliggs, Esq. Coroner, on the remains of Benjamin Myers, aged 21 years, who was burnt to death in the conflagration on Monday morn ing last. The Jury viewed the remains, which were lying, in a very mutilated state, in a. shell, at the Three Crowns. T. Levy, a Jew, deposed that he assisted in taking the corpse out of the rains of old Mr. Myers' house, yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock. The legs were burnt off, and excepting a part near the abdomen, over which a beam had rested, the whole body was burnt to a mere cinder. Ile did not think it was pos sible for any one to identify it, as not a vestige of apparel re mained, or the trace of a feature. Abraham Lawrence, a Jew, deposed, that he was convinced that the remains viewed by the Jury, were part of the body of Abraham Myers, jun. One of the Jurors (a Mr. Freeman), who was one of the first persons at the fire, stated, that at ten minutes before five o'clock on Monday morning, he heard the alarm of fire, and ran to Mr. Myers' house ; he assisted other persons in throwing stones and brick-bats in at the windows, for the purpose of waking the inhabitants. In a few minutes Mr. Myers, sen., one of his sons, his wife, a daughter, and two other lodgers, came out at a side-door, in a state of nudity. In a short time the whole building, from kitchen .to garret, was in flames. Another Juror stated to the Coroner, that there were now under the ruins four persons—a Mr. Barnet and his child, and a Mrs. Pole and her daughter. There were 15 families burnt out, and all their property destroyed ; but, he was happy to state, that nearly 2001. had been subscribed towards relieving the unfortunate sufferers. The Jury returned a verdict of—' Death." •" Accidentally burnt to A Gentleman of very fickle disposition made so many changes in a mansion which he was erecting, and asked the advice of his friends so frequently about the arrangements, that it seemed a miracle that it was ever finished at ;ill. At length, however, it was completed, and nothing but the giving it a name remained to be done : this was a sore puzzle, till a wag told him if he wanted an appropriate appellation he could give it him.
