STA I'7, OF TrlF, i AGRICULTUIU MANUFACTURES, &c. &c. ii GEN- CORN-EXCHANGU, AUG. 20.—We have had a few fresh Arrivals since Monday, and the few sales made in Fine Wheat and Oats were at our last quoted prices ; but there was very little business doing ; and the prices of other kinds of Grain may be considered nominally the same as on that IC was day. s here 51rt her . he re- isider- nisters lot at- to the I attl not he SUGAR,—The market W 35 yesterday heavy, and flit prices were fully Js. lower than last week. In foreign Sugar , : the market was also dull, and little business transacted. roops as in- ole at to !)e CoFFEE.—Yesterday two public sales of Coffee, consisting 315 casks and hags, went on with much briskness ; in several instances an advance of 3s. n 4s. per cwr. %vas obtained, but generally the mar ket cannot he stated more than 2s. per cwt. higher than last week.

OIL, &c.—The following may be stated to he the result of the fishing this son :—Aboat 150 vessels were engaged, of these Eve %vere lost, the remainder have from 750 to FOO fish, which at a moderate computation may yield 11,000 tuns of Oil. Last season the quail titrwas 12,500 tuns, the deficiency is therefore eery great ; hut we knou• not it it will warrant the great advance that has taken place in the pi ices of Fish Oils. Greenland Oil, chiefly, it not entirely by speculation, has advanced with rapidity from 271. to 451. per tun. List sear Ihe prices began about 281. arid were cettainly soon run up much higher by the ex tensive export demand ; but the wear ad vance will io some measure check this request : it is however to be observed, that as nearly the whole quantity to London has been purchased at various prices on arrival, the trade will ultimately have to submit to the high prices demanded by the speculators, if they do not receive a supply from the out ports, uhich they now calculate upon, and will nor purchase at the present pi ices: they state the whole to be speculation, uncon nected with the trade, and that as soon as the time necessary for the boiling , at the outports is completed, they will receive a plentiful supply at lower rates. In crinsequence of the advance Of Whale Oil. evet y other description is quoted much higher.—There is no Seal Oil at market.—Rape and Linserd Oil are much higher ; the immer ad.

The holders of-Galipoli Oil are asking greatly higher prices. but no extensive sales have have yet been effected : there is however little doubt of au advance.

A general opintiou is Am.. fertained that the prices will open at high rates, and that the suppl will not be extensive : this anticipation, and the extensive supplies required Sy Government, has occasioned the holders of anti Pork to he indifferent as to effecting safes at the present currency.

WAR.EFIBLIT, AUG. 15.-We have again hid a r. , !ry (hail n►arket tor WVl►ear, owing chiefly to the great influx of American flour into the western tnalketg, and only prime cpialitiee could be (hi-- posed of, at a reduction of 3s to 4*. per quarter eince last week.

If there was not much novelty Fri the main plot, there was at least something ludicrous, as well as new, in the incidents. Thrifty (CuATTERIA), all old miser, according to pi escriptive dotage it the dramatic reg:ons, resolves to wed Fanny (Miss Lovx), at agrecahle voting Lady, who is attached to Frede rick (Wittzrxn), who is equally uttached to her. Captain Hurry (li.uiTLEY), Fanny's uncle, has agreed to settle a fortune on his niece, and has had the marriage settlements prepared, intending to be stow her hand on a lover whom he has never seen (another of the usual probabilities- of the Stave). While Thrifty, who concea.s troll] Fanny his intention to m ory her himself, is gone to pre pare a serenade, Frederick arrives, and, on the re turn of the old man, at, all the ri.toms are locked up (why, does not appear), Frederick is obliged to hide,Dintself in the balcony, where he is exposed to a dreadfulv tempestuous night, and is almost drowned with rain; so much for h sa ger scio from water. On the second return of Thrifty, Frederick, to escape detection, climbs up the chimney, and as the old man had returned wet and c id, he desires to have o fire. Fanny and Furbish (Miss SrEvenson) het maid, do all they can to prevent the fire, test time unfortunate lover should be suffocated. At length the old man is dragged away, on suspicion of having assaulted the musicians, aii violence that had been committed by Hurry. Hence poor Frederick is released front the dan ger of fire HS well as water. flurry fitriv,s, takes Frederick for the Lover, of whom he only knew that he had a good character, has the ma trimonial contract executed hvfore the ret urn of Thrifty. and the piece concludes The shivering state of Frederick in the storm, as , e‘m through the wind w, excites, as usual, the risible humanity of the audience, who displayed the state risible sympathy hen he was in danger of being suffo cated. though we nave commented more than we are accustomed to do on tetuporary sketches, we can assure our Readers, that if they wish for a hearty laugh, they will be secure from disap pointment to attending this piece, which has the additional sopport of much cosine bunion; in the whole of the actin6.

At a quarto- before seven the prize was borne io the Amphitheatre, and therein exhibited. This wits one of the finest displays of the athletic powers ever witnessed ; and the science and ease evinced by the conqueror were divines for panegyric dur ing the evening. The afternoon being fine, the River was covered with pleasure boats, particu larly yachts, funnies, and four and six oared cut ters. The effect was greatly heightened by the number of spectators who lined the shores. All the tea gardens and other places for public enter tainment wete crowded. Nothing happened to disturb the harmony.
