in business. tt mast be obvious ,that there is the further hazard, of extravagant expenditure, dangerous speculations, &c. &c. which might soon annihilate the funds of some of the least experienc ed, or most imprudent individuals, and thus, with respect to them, and their families, render the generosity of the Bank altogether unavailing.— We cannot close these cursory remarks, without strongly recommending duct of the just and lib era l con the Bank towards its discharged servants, to the imitation of the Goverment, as respects the numerous Clerks, &c. who are about to be discharged from the Public Offices. The ar rangements of the Government, regarding the reduction of offices and salaries, are not yet de termined ; and surely they will not be less liberal than those of the Bank of England.

KILKENNY, SEPT. 27..--We have now had nearly a fort night of favourable harvest weather, without any interruption worth noticing ; and, we have reason to think, that the injury sustained by the crops during the late rains was not to near the extent which the uneasiness of the moment had induced us to believe. The Wheat, we understand, has sufibred most from smut, but still there is no danger of a general or serious defici enci.—(L6inster Journal.) - CARLOW, SEPT. 24.—1 t is with great pleasure that we oh-. serve such a change in the weather as to warrant an expectation that we shall have a reduction in the markets, from the very best cause, viz. a sufficiency of good Corn to insure a supply at a fair price. —(Carlow Post.) • Cons, SEPT. 22.,--tio other. apprehension exists at present in England or in this country, relative to the harvest, than that the rapid advance in the price of Grain, caused by the heavy rains, may, by possibility, lead to the opening of the ports. It is not attempted to be concealed that much and serious injury has been do..e to the quality of the Wheat crop ; but inte rested speculators alone endeavour to spread the delusion that it will be a short one. There is no real ground for such a re presentation, and still less for the supposition, that the Harvest, generally, will prove a deficient one. The weather in this part of the country continues remarkably , fine, and little remains for, the husbandman to perform, but to draw home his produce, and give it such treatment as will insure him the best remunerating price. GALWAY, SEPT. 21—All our letters from the country agree, that the late fine weather has done •an infinity of good; after all the scheme . s of the speculators the pries will be down.--. (Advertiser.) THE THEATRE.—The Comedy of The Beaux' Stratagem, one of the most diverting in the whole round of the English drama, was represented last night at Covent Garden Theatre. Many of the passages which were acceptable to the coarse taste of our ancestors at the time when the play was written, have been expunged, but some are still left, which are only calculated for the visitors of the upper gallery. Archer, like the gentlemen of FARQUHAR'S time, is witty, humorous, and animated, but, like them, he is at times too gross in his allusions. The Comedy abounds with such a variety of characters, and such a number of di verting incidents, that it requires no aid from licentious applications, however witty. The good sense of the Performers must be exercised on this occasion, as Managers seldom give them selves the trouble of attending to such matters, even if they should happen to be qualified by education, taste, and judgment. The part of Archer was last night assigned to Mr. JONES, as at present Mr. CHARLES KEAIRLE is not re-engaged, on account, according to re port, of some unsettled difference with the Chief Proprietor of the theatre. We hope it will soon be adjusted, particularly as a professional gen tleman, according also to report, is now inti mately connected w ith the property, Whose legal knowledge, long experience in theatrical matters, and peculiar judgment on subjects of Arbitra tion, fully qualify him to suggest the best system of management. Mr. JONES was sprightly and effective in the part, of Archer, and -ABBOTT a very respectable representative of Aimusell.— On this occasion Mi. MEADOWS, from Bath, was introduced in the part of Scrub. He is in court-. tenance somewhat like LISTON. His perform ance was marked by simple humour, and his attempts to imitate the - manners of Archer were very ludicrous and diverting. He did not fall into those buffooneries which are too common with Provincial Performers. He should, how ever, have remained in quiet terror during the scene of the robbery, as his attempts to put on his cloaths excited laughter that rendered what passed between Archer and Mrs. Sullen wholly inaudible. Mrs, DAVISON gave an animated por trait of Mrs. Sullen, with some pathetic touches in relation to her unlucky marriage. Miss BEAUMONT would have been more in erest ing in Dorindu if she could have been better heard, but in general her utterance was too weak. EMERY'S Gibbet was prominent in the piece. Some revision of the- play is necessary on another ground besides indelicacy. Scrub refers to the frizzled head of Archer, according to the costume of former times, though he now appears in an unpoz;dered crop. It is strange that such anomalies are not noticed, and corrected on re- hearsals. The play altogether was very Well supported by. the whole of the performers, and went off with all the spirit of novelty-. Mrs. GLOVER has been, for some evenings past, he attraction of the Bristol Theatre. EGISTEIt Yesterday her Highness Princess Esterhazy and a select party dined with the younger branches of the family at the cot tage at Highgate, where hey Highness passed the night.

Lord STEWART arrived at the Royal York Hotel on Tues ' day evening. His Lardship is Colonel of the 10th Royal Hussars!, a distinguished Military post, filled by his present Majesty, when Prince of Wales. At 11 o'clock yesterday morn ing, the ,open space in front of the York Hotel exhibited a splendid appearance; Lord Stewart, and the Officers of the 10th were there, all mounted in their richest uniforms, and their fiery chargers grandly caparisoned. His Lordship rode one of the most beatYtiful bay- Arabians that was ever brought to this country. An open barouche contained Lady Stewart, and several elegant Belles of quality. Her Ladyship` was attired a-la-militaire—the pelisse dropped gracefully from her shoulders, . studded with gems ; her helmet coif was surmounted by a feather of the bird of paradise ; her appearance was martial, dignified, and lovely ; her manner affable, exciting admiration in all about her. Crowds of Ele gantes witnessed the splendid spectacle on the Steyne. From the York Hotel, the radiant cavalcade moved gently to the slope of the Downs near the Barracks, followed by numerous specta tors : here the 10th Hussars were drawn up to receive . them, and a review of the corps followed by his Lordship, and in which the finest specimens of warlike discipline and talent were dis played; to interest and gratify all - present. The . .troopi returned to the Barracks, where they were regaled with a plentifnl repast, by their new and esteemed Commander. His Lordship and Lady, and other gens de Condition, were afterwards sumptu ously entertained by the Officers at the mess. • At ten o'clock at night, Lord and Lady Stewart ascended their barouche, front which the horses had been displaced, and the cheerful soldiers were ready- to perform their office. Thus protected and joy ously borne along, they returned to the York Hotel, the united huzzas and acclamations of hundreds marking their whole line •of progress, and announcing their approach. A scene more cheerful it would be very difficult to imagine. Lady . Stewart, who is "in that way which Ladies wish to be who love their Lords," we regret to observe, has suffered indisposition il'om the firtigue of yesterday ; this has occasioned the return dinner, at the York Hotel, to be confined to Gentlemen., and which has been the only drawback to the vivid pleasures enjoyed. TICE DIN' N ER.-At half-paat six o'clock, or soon after, this evening, the company, consisting of the gens de guerre of the .10th, the Earl of Chichester, - from Stanmore, Sir Matthew Tierney, Bart., General Mundy, and other Noblemen and Gentlemen, had taken their seats in the spacious dining-room of the York Hotel, which had been suitably embellished for the occasion. At the upper end of the apartment was G. 11. IV. 'surmounted by the Crown, formed of variegated lamps, and partially - concealed with b ra n c h es o f la ure l , exhibiting owers of multiplied - tints and beauties. . At the opposite extre mity of the roo m were th e initial letters It. 11. with the • tenth between, surmounted with the pluine, the crest of their Royal ComMander,'ewhen he 'held his official post at the head of the regiment. These. were also fermed of variegated lamps, darting their effulgence through intertwining branches of laurel, and flowers of diffeeent hued. Festoons of laurels and flowers were tastefully arranged about the other parts of this elegant banqueting hall, for so its capacious dimensions in duce us to term it, flirming,. on the whole, a picture as un i que as rural and imposing. The dinner consisted of every delicacy the .season could afford or art • supply, and excellent was the serving up. The ornamental embellishments- of the table were as splendid, as well disposed, and sparkling and grand was the general effect. Covers were laid for forty, and the whole of that number attended, and brilliant was the coup (1%61 af forded when the scats were occupied. The band of the 10th played their national melodies, and patriotism, and loyalty, and native inertial worth, and genuine social BritiSh spirit, gave a happy and distinguishing character to the whole. The de sert was profuse; pines, nielon, peaches, grapes, sweet - meats, ices, pyramids of jellies, and a long et cettera, seasoned with all the choicest wines ftern, "humble Port to Imperial '!'okay." The dinner had been ordered an hour earlier than originally intended, in consequence of'Lord and Lady Stewart having condescended to bespeak the play of " The -Soldier's Daughter," and the desire they'felt, in consequence, to visit the Theatre in the course of the eVening; not calculating upon. her Ladyship's indisposition, but which • at this time, it gives us pleasure to add, h a s muc h decreased. As yet we know not Whether the Theatre will be honoured with their presence. L or d, and Lady Stewart p ur p ose leaving its to-morrow. • .

The thought of the head, and the wish of the heart; Each feeling of pleasUre and care, I burn to that bosom I love to impart; To cherish, to soften, to share. For cold are the glances this vain world can giie, And falsely those glances are thrown ; And I feel that amongst them to breathe and to live Is to live as a hermit alone. I shrink from their touch, they are hypocrites all, And I am an hypocrite too ! I am false as the men who thus false ones ones I call, And only am faithful to you ! am false, for I smile when they smile upon me, I answer them all when they speak, And the thoughtless might deem, when my follies they see, 1 topk pleasure their follies to seek.

Yet not to those false ones arbund to complain, Their compassion I must not endure ! Why e'en to myself should I Murmur of pain, That lies beyond comfort or cure ! In cities, in deserts, the cave, or the gate, 'Mid the mvriads that wait round a throne, The curse that attends on my comfortless state, Is for ever to wander alone !

At the chase of the Eel= races on Thursday, those . fond of milling sports had a nch-treat in two gall a ntly contested battles, which kept the amateurs till .dark. The tirst was for a 101. purse, between Joe Nash, the Kingston champion, and whO had merited well the title, and Sally Cooper, the fighting gv_psev. Beelibrd seconded the gypsey, and Peter *Saunders picked up Nash. 1. Nash made the play, and drew the claret by a fight handed blow upon his adversary's ear, and he followed up 'his success and floored his adversary. 2. A good fought round with mutual advantages. The gyp sey drew claret from his adversary's mouth, but in return . Nash involved his head in Chancery, imd he kept it -there till the end of the round.. . 3. The gypscy broke from his adversary's right hand, and gat his lcft into action, and it partially told, but Nash was too strong and too active, and he threw his adversary. 4,5, and 6, were occupied in real fighting in favour of Nash, who placed some heavy hits on his adversary's nob, which com pletely exchequered him, and he floored his adversary by a belly-go-firster. Thk4ypsey fought his best, but Nash has many hidden qua lifications as a boxer, and he won it cleverly at last. .• The second battle was fought between two as-good little men (unknown to the prize ring) as ever peeled. First-rao , action, with unniuzzled gait, was tke order of the mill. They were 'known as Ginger-pole and Black-locks, and the latter won it. CANTI:RI3I:7IY, SEPT 213.—Early on Wednesday morning, James Rolfe, a labourer, of this city, was taken into custody, at his house, in Ivy. Lane, by Bond, the Bow-street officer, under a warrant backed by the Mayor, charged with a capital felony, in having been one of a party of about .50 smugglers, at Marsh Bay, on the 2d of September, when the commanding officer and one of the seamen belonging to the Coast Blockade were severely wounded. The prisoner, immediately on his ap prehension, was taken to the barracks, and put under a-military escort from this city to afargate, to prevent the possibility of any rescue (as heretofore) by the lawless , fangs of smugglers to whom he was attached, and who are egillly a disgrace to the country, and the name of Englishthen. lie was yesterday con veyed under a similar escort to the county-gaol, Maidstone,, to which he. was committed by the. Justices at Margate : this is the second offender in this transaction who has been taken and fully committed for trial at the next Assizes: We are in , formed that the prisoner shelved some marks of contrition, and was willing to make every atonement that disclosure of accom plices might afford ; but the Solicitor for the prosecution being already in possession, (from a 'variety of good private informa tion) of the names of most of the principal offenders, and find: ing the prisoner's name to stand amongst the list of those who made use of arms in that attack, refused to admit'him to be come evidence for the crown ; and especially as he made no offer to impeach his accomplices until he was apprehended.—(Ken tish Gazette.) On Saturday week, in Arbroath, a boy who was viewing Grr,mAN's Menagerie of wild beasts, birds, and reptiles, incautiously laid hold of one of the lioness's cubs ; this roused the indignation of the lioness, who laying hold of the boy's arm with one of her paws, hurt it severely, and dis located his shoulder. The boy will• be unable, in consequence, for some time, to attend his usual occupation ; but LK, fault, it is said, can be attri buted to any of the keepers. SWEARING IN ©f the NEW SHERIFF'S: Yesterday Was the day appointed for this c) , ) remony, and a large crowd had collected in the Hall for the purpose. - of witnessing it.. At a little before one o ' c l oc k t h e LORD Mlyon.arrived in state, and held a - Court of Aldermen. At a quarter past one the Sheriffs Elect, Aldermen GARRATT and .VENABI,ES, arrived in new and splendid carriages. The carriage of Aldertnatt Garratt is one of the most elegant we ever saw. The colours are green and gold, with the arms of the Goldsmiths' Company,.to whichhe belongs, and the arms of his. family emblazoned on 'the pannels and on the hammer-cloth, The horses were decked out in green and orange ribbons. The servants wore splendid liveries of green and gold to correspond. The carriage of Alderman Venables Is of a sky-blue colour, with hammer.: cloth, ec,c. of silver, and the footmen in blue live ries with silver lace. The Sheriffs-Elect, accom panied by the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs Waithmatt and - Williams, and the Court of .Aldermen, en tered the Hall and ascended the platform. The several Aldermen were received with various marks of favour, or otherwise, from the populace assembled, The new Sheriffs were splendidly dressed it) maroon coats, surmounted by their State robes of scarlet; They were sworn with all appropfa.te solemnity by H. Woodthorpe, Esq. The last ceremony was to invest them with the gold insignia of office, when some surprise was occasioned at a variation from the old costume of wearing gold chains with the plain link, in. , stead of which the new Sheriffs were invested with gold ornaments, consisting each of three coils of gold rope or chain cord, but attached to a superb gold ornament, affixed to the, breast of the waistcoat. . The new costume was much admired, and generally considered much more appropriate than the old. After the usual sale. tations had been made, .the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen retired.—The new - Sheriff's proceeded to the Court of Common Pleas to. re- . ceive the custody of the prisoners in Newgate and Whitecross,street.—Mr. Brown, the Keeper of Newgate, in giving in the list of the prisoners in his custody, observed, that he had examined the prison accounts, and that there never had been so 'small a number of prisoners transferred to the Sheriffs on such. an occasion since the prison had_ been built. He took the opportu nity of congratulating the Sheriffs on the cir cumstance. Mr. Brown and Mr. Thackray then deliVered up the keys to the She riffs, Who transferred them to the tiew She- 'ritr.s.—Mr. Sheriff Venables, on mcelving the key of Newgate, addressed Mr. Brown and said, " Sir, althoUgh you have an appointment as the . Keeper of Newgate, yet, as his Majesty's offi cers, the .custody of that .prison is entirely in us, and we appoint you the Governor for the time bein g ."—Mr. Brown recei ve d th e k ey, an d bowed. Some other formal business laving been disposed of, the Sheriffs retired fo dinner.- Mr, Sudiovo, of Monument-yard, was appointed. Un der-Sheriff to Alderman Garratt ; Mr. Smith, the late Under-Sheriff, 'was re-appointed as Under- Sheriff to Alderman Venables. "BANS OF ENGLAND.—A great reduction is about to take..place almost immediately in the establishment of the Bank of England. The number of clerks to be discharged is stated at 125, of .which 40 are from the Hall side or Ca shier's Office, and the remainder from the various Accountant-offices for the different classifications of stock, with the one and two pound Bank-note office. In the latter, which employed between 200 and 300 clerks, the return to payments k specie trust have led to the expectation of a very material reduction :but the number discharged under the present .arrangement is only 24. :It not at all known before Tuesday last, we believe, that the change was contemplated by the Go vernors of the Bank, and the measure, there.;' fore, being one that involves the welfar.- or sub sistence of so many families, appears a little abrupt. But in the mode of carrying it into effect. , the Bank have acted with a degree of liberality which merits praise. All the clerks now dis missed will receive .an annuity for life, in pro portion to the amount of pay and length of ser vice,' a selection being made, as far as the irite•-• rests of the concern rendered it prudent to do so, from those who are the soonest likely from long services to claim the right of superannuation.-- But every clerk discharged will, we understand, be allowed the option, if he .prefers it, of re ceiving a sum of money equivalent to the value of his annuity. Thus to those who are still young. anti have a talent for business, an opportunity • will be afforded,- by a supply of .capital, of en gaging in trade, and of working out their own . independence. The number of clerks employed at the . Bank is above 1000 ; the number dis charged, therefore, is about one-eighth- part of the whole. By the measure, a saving will accrue to the Bank when the respective annuities fall in, of about 20,0001. per annurri. We understand that the cause assigned by the Directors for this step, in the notice to those clerks whose services are to cease, is a general falling, off in the busi ness of the establish men t.—(Tunes.) Fist' continues exorbitantly dear, and might be sold at half the price .under proper regula tions. No vessel should be permitted to come to anchor in the River, but be obliged to proceed at once to Billingsgate market : and the most rigo rous measures should be adopted to prevent fores talling. It is in contemplation, it is said, of the inhabitants of Westminster to petition Parliament next Session to have kfish-market established ut Hungerford market. It will be seen from the following statement that the travelling in this neighbourhood has con siderably increased in the last few years. The tolls upon the turnpike roads from Liverpool to Prescot, Ashton, and Warrington, comprising five gates, were let on the 31st ult. for three years, at the annual rent of 7,750/. ; and for the pre ceding three years they were let at 6,5151., being an increase of 1,235/. per annum. The stem which they were rented at 6 years ago was 5,3351. per anuum.—( Liverpool Advertiser.) ~
