Dkury-tdiic - a The Clantle s stine Marriage, a Comedy formed with great dramatic skill, abounding in diversi fied charaaers, enlivened with well-managed inci dents, and involving a pathetic interest, drew a very large Audience to this Theatre last night. Excellent as this Comedy is, it certainly depends in a great measure upon the talents of an individual, and when KING can no longer support the charader of Lord Ogleby, it is very probable that the Piece will be laid upon the shelf, at least till his merit in the chief part shall no longer be remembered. This popular Veteran performed the gallant old Peer last night with little abatement of his former spirit. KING is an Ador who understands human nature, and, therefore, is able to give pleasure to real judges of theatrical merit, which is more than can be said of ..most of the present race of Per formers, who have contrived to obtain an empirical popularity, more by grimace than humour. KINO'S Lord Ogleby is really the old Noblematz, not weaned from the follies and vanities of former life, but rendered estimable by sensibility, generosity, and honour. The Audience testified their approbation by repeated and fervent applause. Dowrorr.was a very respectable representative of Sterling, blunt and cunning, but hot too coarse. `We were in hopes to see. Miss POPE in Mrs. Hei delberg; the part, however, was performed by Mrs. SFARts, who was forcible, but too 'uniformly loud and violent: Miss DE CAMP, by no means, wanted spirit in the pan of -Miss Sterling, and gave a tolerable portrait of the pert flippancy of City, affeClaiion.— She was, however, egregiously wrong in attempt ing humourous mimicry, when her pride is sup posed.to be wounded by the negleet of Sir John Melville, and his preference of her sister. Fanny was performed by Miss CAbtrst‘L with unaffeeted emotion. The Public were much gratified in seeing Mrs. Biar4D restored to them in the part of 3-ensty, in the Musical Entertainment of The Deserter. INVASION. LINZS ON TM!.

By the laSt accounts from the Continent, the crops seem every wl\ere to be equally abundant, as if, by natural tOnseqdence, the late universal Scarcity was adually reversed. The asped seems flattering in the highest degree to this country, where the first necessaries have too long been at a most exorbitant rate; but a crop of wheat upon the ground, or even in the early period of threshing, has often disap pointed the most experienced praftical. men. We shall be able to speak more positively of the yield of this year's wheat,both in point of quantity, and in the quality of the marn:laftured article, two or three months hence. The wheat has been generally well harvested throughout South Britain; in the North, it has been, in some degree, damaged by the rains,. and by the del - ea of drying winds. There will,be a considerable quantity of smutty, wheat in the North, and in the Counties on the Southern Coast, in consequence of a blight caught towards the end of July, and the beginning of August, from mists and showers, accompanied with cold nighzi winds. It clearly appears now, by accounts from all quarters, that the stock of old English wheat is fairly exhausted, nor is the quantity of superfine Foreign, on hand, at all too abundant, compared with the demand for grinding with the new Eng lish ; of ordinary Foreign, unfit for the English bread manufadoty, the quantity, (as is usual in all importations) is immense. Never was there in Bri tain so widely extended a growth of wheat and po tatoes in any former year, and we are warranted in expeding a very considerable redudiort of prices. • Throughout Corn Wall, Devon, Somerset, WiltS, Berks, and all the South-west to the Eastern Coast, all crops are most abundant in the West, the Bar_ ley crop partictilarly great. Same account from Wales, including Hops and Fruit: .From Hereford to Oloutester, Oxford; and throughout all, the middle Counties, to the Fens and Lincolnshise,_ we have the flattering accounts of every. species of produce. In Yorkshire, all the crops of Corn and Fruit, great and well got in : farther to the North, the Oats are, in many •Distrias, discoloured, although they are plump, and Nceigh well ; and the Barley is stained and coarse. The average price of 'corn, Sze. for Eng land 2nd Wales, from the returns received in the Week 'ending September i 9, was, for Wheat, SBs. rod. ; Rye, 5.4.5. Bd.; Barley, 4.95. 9d. ; and Oats, 3os. , • f 6 I.Turnips look well in the best Counties, but ':hey are said not to apple well in the N ort h ; consider ing the vast spread.of P o t a t oes t hi s year , (b y some aiserted to be even fifty times grea t er t h an an y pre ceding), the crop of Turnips cannot b e . expeded so extensive as usual ; the Potatoes,. however, w ill be found a noble substitute, by . those who have convenience to steam or bake. them, should the season prove rigorous. Of Rape and Cole, and even of Tares, as cattle-feed, we have he a rd bu t little, and wish to hear more. Hay is said to be a particular good crop, and of fine quality in the North. Of artificial grasses, no material account has. reached us.—Hay, at St. james'slarket„ on the 19th of September, fetched from 31. to 51. i6 s . ; Straw, il. tos. to It. 765. 6d. At Whitechapel Market, it fetched frotn 41. to 51. 165.; Clover, from 6s. to 71.; Straw, fl. Bs. to 11. I6s. Of Potatoes, the quality is said to be generally good this year, and nowhere better than in Here tordshire ; in some parts, the Northern particular ly, they have been affeded by the etirl, a dis€ase from obstructed circulation, obviously occasioned by the same misty and blighting weather which afFea ed the Wheat in July and August. In Worcestershire, and in all the Fruit Counties, the trees absolutely bend under the weight of the crop : it is to be hoped this great abundance will not encourage the too free use of sour harsh Cyder among the lower classes, so produdive of the Co lic in the Cycler Counties. 'Wall Fruit seems to be the smallest of the Fruit crops. Uops, a general great crop; and; in the best dis trios, the quality of the pockets very fine. in Kent, Surrey, and Sussex, the speculators are fairly caught, with nearly the whole of last year's stock on hand. Old bags, three to four Guineas per cwt. ; pockets. four to five Guineas, the satne which, some months ago; fetched 221. rot. ! • , Live Stork, both fat and lean ; at an inimense price, and the latter not to be obtained in quantities equal to the feed on the ground, a plain proof that we have sadly anticipated our Stores, and negleaed breeding ; an improvident system, which, if per severed in, will have very serious conseqbences.— Breeding sows are at the enormous price of from five to seven Guineas each; three Guineas to three Guineas and a Half, for such as formerly, were sold at eighteen shillings to twenty shillings each.- - -- GoOd horses have been all the spring and summer excessively scarce and dear, an.l yet, there seems rather a less than Usual attention to increase the breed, notwithstanding" the prospeet of a great :demand at the return of Peace: In Smithfield market, on the list of Sept. reef fetched from 4,5. 6d. to ss. 4d. ;.

P,EVOLUTION IN noLLArm, HACIJEj SEPT. 19; The aCknowledged necessity of a change in the'.
