The yarns . of all sorts 1 1 50 meet a brink demand at improving prices. The request for raw cotton has in consequence °ten very considerable." 131RMINGLIAM, SEPT. 3.-1 he constant showery 1 /calker fir the last fortnight has greatly retarded the progress of an abundant harvest in this guar ter; but which has not, as yet, sustained any ii)intv. f ront t h r vegetating principle being forced Y the alternve rain and sunshine.—The farmer's P lyetices have, no doilibt, been necessarily in creased, by the protracted operations ; but, trom 1 4 present favonrible character of the weather, commenced on Sunday last, a correspond lu remuneration, we hope, will be found hi the 4 itinplea of , a well housed crop. EXPTE2, SEPT. 3.—The fears which have been 'kited tor the fate of the harvest, occasioned by 411 e long continued rains, are happily removed, lid succeeded by a general joy. —The goodly Ivork of harvest is proceeding briskly in every di tittion ; little, if any, damage has been done to the crops ; no complaint is heard either of rust or kildew ; on the contrary, it seems to be the uni ersal opinion, that the produce will be the rich % and most abundant that the bounty of p-rovi -49tce has ever bestowed on the land. From the present favourable state of the weather, and the activity of the farmers, it is considered that the hest part of the wheat in this neighbourhood, ‘vtll be safely stacked by Saturday evening next. CAmorttnon.—The last few fine clays have en- MAO this district to barvest the great bulk of the kbeat, which in quantity and quality is superior to tl►at of many preceding years. tiattEinitp.—The harvext in this county has %cm generally commenced, and a great deal of earn h•ts been hothed. The late constant rains 114 ve done some injury in many situations, but a t}o period of fine weather will remedy every in touvenieuce, and enable the farmer to secure his trops in fine condit ion.

Last week, the Woodmen of the Forest of Arden held their Annual Meeting at Meriden. On Monday, the Gold and Silver Mc'l4ls w ere shot for, at el hundred yards, when the former was won by the Honourable DANIEL FINCH, and the latter by the Reverend CHARLES P4L MER.-011 Wednesday, the Silver Arrow was shot for at 9 score yards, and won by the F•atl of Ayiestord.-011 Friday, the Forest t‘aS conlelldeti at 10 score yards, and atter a masterly display of the ancient and noble art of archery, by several of the best b!livinen, it was tri umphantly borne away by the Eatl of Aylesford. —The Rev. T. Lane Freer, Lieutenant of the Target. Mt. Jarvis and Mr. Roberts, two Members nt . the Toxonholite Society, very handsomely pre sented a Gold and Silver Medal to the Captain and Lieutenant of Numbers ; the former was judged to the Eatl of Aylcsford, and the latter to the Rev.

The successful Lgalies were—Miss Gregory, of Stivichall, who drew the Gold Arrow ; and Miss Margaret Sheffield, daughter of Sir Robert Shef field, the Gold Bugle. On Wednesday, the very unfavourable state of the weather prevented so full an attendance at the ball as usual; however, on Friday, notwithstand ing a tremendous thunderstorm, the ladies ap peared determined to make tip fo r th e ir previous disappointment, for upon no former occasion has the Forest Hall been graced by a more limner , ous and brilliant assemblage of fashion, youth, and beauty. Sixty-three Ladies dined at the head, and 74 Gentlemen at t be Forest Hall. Amongst the company were—Ladies Charlotte and Mary Finch, Lady Elizabeth Ferrers, Lady Sheffield, and three Misses Sheffield, two Misses Payne, &c. Earl of Chesterfield, Lord St. Asaph, flop. Mr. Verney, Hon. fleneage Legge, Hon. and Rev. Edward Finch, Hon. General Finch, lion. Henry, and Air. and Mrs. Dugdale, &c. &c. ROMAN CATEIOLICS. A Meeting of the titular Bishop, and the Roman Catholic Clergy, of the Diocese of Cloyne, took place on the 27:11 ult. They passed several Re solutions, of which the following is the saibstance, which- we have extracted from The Dublin Even ing Post of the 2d last : " They begin with asserting, that it is the con viction of the Conference that the Catholic Church of Ireland is in itn'►rinent danger, affirming, that they would be guilty of " High Treason against the King of Heaven," were tl.ey to conceal their sentinieors from their Bishop, at a crisis so alarm ing. They then proceed to state their adhesion to the Resolutions to which the Bishops agreed in August, 1815, against 'the Veto. In the 4th Resolution they declare that they " Contemplate, with undisguised horror, every measure whi.h ho for its object the concession of any such power, to wen who are ready to swear, and have already sworn, that the Reli4ion of the Roman Catholics, as practised in this United Kingdom, is superstitious and idolatrous." " The Fibh Resolution is directed against the plaits sanctioned by Government for the cluca tion of the Lower Orders. " The .following is the Resolution :--. " That the plans, sanctioned by our Government, for the Education of the Lower Orders in this Country, furnish us with an additional cause of alarm. Those Schools, under the most specions appearances, have, in our apprehension, for their ultimate purpose, the proselyting of our poor Catholic Children. We see immense sums of money levied, annually, for the maintenance and educatimr-of the Children of Catho lic Parents, in Establishments which are exclusively Pro testant—the unwearied zeal, and increasing influence of Bible Soci,ties and other anti-Catholic Institutions for Educating the PoOr of Ireland, cannotescape the notice of the Most in different observer. In these Schools a iersioa of the Scrip torus, not only imam henticated, but disapproved of by the Roman Catholic Church, is made the School Book of the poor Roman Catholic Children; whilst every Catholic Tract or Explanatimi of the Word of God is sedulously discarded." " The Sixth Resolution contains a stron4 pro test against the Veto, or any measure, however modified or disguised, that is based upon a prin ciple of Temporal Protestant interference with the discipline and doctrine of the Irish Catholic Church. " The seventh Resolution is in favour of Do mestic Nomination by Dean and Chapter (words that should ever be omitted when the term Do mestic Nomination occurs), and declaratory of the conviction of the Resolvers, that such No. titillation would " conciliate their political ene- (111rS," The eighth Resolution is a request to Dr. COPPINGER to use his influence With his brethren, the Catholic Prelates of Ireland, to establish do mesi ic nomination by Dean and Chapter, and to submit, whether it might not be expedient, at this period, to assemble a Synod for the purpose of averting the evili with which the Church is threat ened ; of negociating with the Pope in favour of the ancient discipline of the Irish Catholic Church ; and of appointing an agent at the Court of Rome, to transact, at all times at that Court, the busi ness of the Irish Catholic Church. " The ninth Resolution is applied particularly to Dr. COPPINGER, requesting the Right Reverend Prelate to apply to the Holy See for the appoint ment of a Dean, and to nominate a Chapter. "The following is the Tenth Resolution : " That we earnestly entreat of our Brethren, of every Dio cese in Ireland, to afford to their respective Prelates their stre nuous co-operation in opposing the Veto, and, by respectful and earnest application, to obtain from them their sanction for Domestic Nomination, on the basis mentioned in our Se venth Resolution. " The last Resolution is one of Thanks to Dr. COPPING4R, for having acceded to the wish,of the Clergymen of his Diocese, by appointing a Chapter, which had been long discussed, and by writing to the POPE, for the purpose of electing a Dean." WOLVES. --A letter from. Stockholm says, " the wolves have done great . mischief this summer in Sweden, and hare penetrated even to the southein parts of West Godiland. In the parish of Norrbo, in Heisingland, they lately carried off 70 sheep in one day float the meadow." A G.)RMANDIZEII.—On Satnrday week, a man long distinguished for the voracity of his appetite, died shortly after exhibiting his p:,•,vers for the gratification of some persons who had betted on his head.

AFFECTING OCCURRENCE.—Saturday morning a poor traveller was found lying on his hack on Box-hill, about five miles from this city, in the same situation in which be had been seen the even ing before, having his naked breast exposed to the pitiless storm Life appeared to be almost extinct,As sonic humane persons were preparing to take liin" to a house, one of the London coaches came up, and a passenger alighted, who applied some Vivifying remedy to the chest, by which the latent spark of life was rekindled. Having thus far succeeded in his benevolent object, he slipped some money for the man's use into the hands of a by-stander, and with the coach was soon out of sight. The sufferer was shortly enabled to say that he had been fasting 48 hours ! The Samari tan, if this paragraph should meet his eye, will be happy to hear that the Almighty's blessing at tended his charitable exertions in behalf of the object of his attention, who was yesterday ena bled to resume his journey.—(Bath Chronicle.) About ten o'clock on Wednesday night, whilst the family were busy attending their customers, some villain unperceived proceeded up stairs, and by means of picklock or skeleton keys, entered the bed-room of Mr Coombe'', the sign of the Grapes, Albemarle -street, Clerkenwell, and broke open his drawers, which he robbed of forty pounds in Bank-notes. It is supposed,the villain had some of his confederates below stairs on the watch, and making a noise whilst he was committing the rob bery, many suspicions persons being in the tap room drinking at the time. POPERY. We are persuaded that every Reader- of Ti SUN will ti* us for reviving the Speech of W. EbViAttn ToiHANft, Esq. which we resume with great pleasure this day. The incessant attempts of the Irish Rowan Catholics to disturb tl,e na tional tranquillity, by their presumptions claims of political po►ver, and the negociations which they are now carrying on with the ROMAN Pontiff, render• it necessary that all Protestants should be upon the alert to Support our Ecclesias tical Establishment. It is evident, Iron Mr. Tomuties admirable Speech, that Mr.PrrT's in tentions have been misconceived on this most im portant question, and therefore we trust that the advocates tot• Popery will not again attempt is support their opinion by a reference to the alleged authority of that illustrious Statesman. (Conclusion of the Speech of WILLIAM EDWARn ToMLINE, Esq. M. P. in our Paper of yesterday.] " The Right lion. Gentleman • stated that the admission of Papists, into all offices of trust and power, will secure the future peace and tranquil lity of Ireland. lam persuaded that none of the seditious' practices, of which Ireland has been the unfortunate scene, in reality owed their ori- • gin to any disability, to which the Boman Catho lics-were subject.—We ought ever to bear in mind that all penal statutes, of every description, and ail the disabling statues, which apply to the lower and middle ranks of life, which must con stitute tar the largest portion, among any set of people, are already removed : they- can arptire property of any description ; they can pursue any profession ; they are permitted to exercise the elective franchise; and will people, who enjoy tall these valuable - privileges, which are within their reach, rebel against t 1):, Government, under which they enjoy them, merely because they cannot be come Members of Patliament, or Secretaries of State ; situations to which it would be ridiculous to consider them as aspiring " Mankind, Sir, are not dint keenly, thus trem blingly alive to the feelings of others. Let Gen tlemen consider the conduct of their own tenan try and of the peasantry of the. neighbourhood in which they may live ; and let them say whether they ever discover any symptoms of this quick sensibility, of this readiness to fly to arms, and to have recourse to any 'means, however illegal or however vialent, in support Of any cause in which their landlords or superiors alone were supposed to have an interest. " That the lower orders of the Roman Catho• lies but ill lit ook a Protestant Government, is but too true ; that they have been so familiarised with discontent as to be ever ready to manifest its spirit, as opportunity should offer, we have had too many melancholy examples ;—b'it it is not for what is commonly called Catholic emancipa tion alone that they have renounced their alle giance; it is not for Catholic emancipation alone that they have invited a foreign enemy to their shores ; it is not for Catholic emancipation that so many endeavours have been made to assist the independence of Ireland, and create a total sepa ration from this country. Catholic emancipation is a term to which, if they attach any meaning at all, they attach a very different meaning from its general acceptation in this country but it is a powerful engine, in the hands of a crafty priest hood, and the more dangerous, from being ambi guous and undefined in its precise signification—a stalking, horse to mislead the ignorant, to deceive the moderate, and to blind the well-disposed ; but whose concealed poison is well understood by the turbulent.and disaffected : and, if attained, it will be the ground for insisting upon farther encroach• ments, a step towatds the ultimate fulfilment of their wishes. - " The events of the last forty years, roost abundantly prove that, if concessions would gra tify their wishes., if lenity would insure their titudc, or kindness conciliate their affections, there ‘voill , l now have been a noble and generous ardour amongat them to prove that their hearts were as closely united, as their interests are inse parably interwoven with this country ; but every indulgence has been the parent of fresh demands, and success has only encouraged their ambition ii not content with the repeal of all the penal laws, not sali!,lied with the enjoyment of greater privi.. liges than any Catholic State ever allowed, either individually or collectively, to persons of a differ ent persuasion, they boldly arraign the justice of the State, for insisting upon the continuance of any civil distinctions, though so- wide a difference must exist in all spiritual matters. They disdain the language of petition . and assume the tone of demand ; they enjoy, as a right, the privileges which have been conceded, and scorn all idea of obligation. They no longer ask, as an indulgence, but claim as their undoubted right, a right inhe• rent in them as British subjects, the unqualified repeal of all disabling Statutes, the unqualified abolition of all religions tests ! But, while the faith which a man may profess, shall be consider ed as having any influence upon his general con duct, while soundness in religious principle shall be allowed to be the best security for moral inte grity, and the most powerful incentive to an ac tive and conscientious discharge of every social. and politica! duty, so long may we 'tripe that some religious test will be i•cquired from those who are placed in the most important public situations, and, are entrusted with the protection and support of our invaluable Constitution ! ‘` Let me not be misunderstood, in nny thing which I have said -as involving, in indiscriminate censure, ne whole mass of the Roman Catholics ; far he it from me to draw no distinction between passive instruments and active leaders—fir be it from me to include, in the same sentence the de luded victims of ignorance with the daring abettors of wickedness. It is not the people of I rdand whorn I would reproach, chained as they are by implicit obedience to their spiritual guides; it is not the people of Ireland whom 1 would fear, were they not subservient to the same controlling influence. Those only would I reproach %Thu have not IlOrdllCe to plead in their excuse, but who pervert the advantages of education, and abuse the ta-•
