CORN-EXCHANGB, AUG. 27.—We had some considerable Arrivals of Foreign IVheat since Monday, for which there was a good demand at our last prices ; Barley and Malt are steady ; Fine Oats support their price ; in Pease and Beans there are no alteration. We have understood that the Russian Govern ment has recently given orders for British manu factures to-an amount little short of two millions sterling. We believe that Colonial produce to a far greater amount has been exported to other parts of the Continent. SUGAR.—Yesterday the demand considerably re vived. The prices were fully Is. higher than last week,• with the prospect of an improving market. The orders for the winter supply of the Continent are coming to baud freely, and since the arrival of the Foreign Mails of Monday, very extensive sales have been effected. The demand for Nluscovades has greatly revived ; the prices may again be quoted at Is. advance : much interest has been ex cited as to the probable supply to be expe . cted this season. BATIL—Tbe accounts from all parts of the country agree in stating that the crops arc most abundant ; and we have heard that, in some places, Where last year the land yielded twenty bushels an acre, it will this year produce fatty. Ext -- rEn.—The harvest is now every where rapidly proceeding around this neighbourhood, though it experienced some interruption from the indifferent state of the weather in the commence ment of the week. Every description of grain, and the wheat in particular, amply supports the favourable anticipation entertained of the bounti fulness of its crop. BRIGHTQN.—The wheat harvest is now become quite general in this county, and of the superio rity of the crops, both in quantity and quality, the sheaves bear ample testimony, and than which no better evidences of the fact can be required. POUTSMOUTIL—The wheat harvest has com menced almost universally throughout the county, and considerable' progress been made during the few past days. The weather is now not only free from showers, but the most genial crops that could be wished. NOTTINGHAM.—SeveraI fields of corn (oats and wheat) have been cut down in this neigh— bourhood within the last few days ; the crops are unusually abundant, and, notwithstanding the late beavy rains, but very little injury has been sustained. The weather is at present promising, and we have every reason to hope, under the fa vour of Providence, that most of the early crops will be harvested in the best condition. GLOUCESTERSKIHK.—The Wheat Harvest has partially commenced in this county; the crops are abundant, the ears well filled, and much riper than could be expected from the long, continuance of rain we have experienced, but which we un derstaml has Litherto produced little injury. Should the weather prove favourable for housing the grain, consequent plenty will follow ;' and we trust that the public will, by a corresponding de cline in the prices, he made amends for the priva tions they have so long and so patiently submit ted to. SCOTLAND.—Acemmts from all parts in Scot. land are most cheering respecting an abunda❑ Harvest. Accounts from Ragley, received yesterday, men tion, that the Ma:quis of HERTFORD remained as before.

The Duke of Yong., at the more favourable in tervals, has appeared in public to-clay ; but his Royal Highness has been of course much con fined to the Palace, and the visitors of rank and fashion to their respective residences. HASTINGS, AUGUST Qq. The influx of company bete has increased most considerably during the last week, notwithstand ing the boisterous weather which has been so ge nerally prevalent along the coast, but which has caused but little damage ashore, although it has dreadfully scored some of our fresh water visitors. On Simday morning a cutter (the Arpe, of Wind mill Hill, Captain Loch), having been upon a sly trip to Boulogne, and being unable to keep the sea, was swamped, a wave having taken her broadside, in attempting to reach the beach, dur ing a most severe gale. The vessel was turned completely keel upwards, - and the whole of the crew immersed in the ocean ; but being luckily near in shore they all escaped, with only the loss of their empty kegs and the small boat lashed to the cutter, which was by the force of the sea broken from from it, and instantly foundered- 7 A singular character, JOUN HUDSON, by trade a boat-builder, has attracted great notice, by se cluding himself, and living entirely in a cave, which he has cut out of the West Rock, in imita tion of Rubinson Crusoe. Fie has been crossed in the tender passion by a fair damsel, JANE rnts.t.tes, of this place : he refuses all inter course, and subsists chiefly on vegetables : he is perfectly harmless, and will occasionally discourse with his visitors, who are very numerous, upon religious subjects. A party of wandering Egyp tians trom a neighbouring camp, of which there are many in the environs, have, however, relieved him from the cares of his bed, by stealing that and all the furniture from his cave. Our amuse ments have been greatly increased by two most excellent Concerts, which have been given in the Assembly Room, in which the performance of Miss FRITH, both as a,most superior vocalist and harp player, has been most highly appreciated, and the mellifluous voice - of little DONALDSON universally admired. The Violin Concerto, by young WILLIS, displayed great execution, and was most deservedly applauded. The pet form ances have given such general satisfaction that they have been repeated at Battle, by desire of Sir GODFREY and Lady WEBSTER, and to-morrow they again visit that place, by desire of our late worthy Member, J. FULLER, Esq.—Among our most prominent fasbionables_are-7 Count Bidwell, Lady Graham and Daughters, Colonel and Mrs. Norris, Sir Thomas Fletcher and his Brother, Captain 'Miley, Mr. Yorke, Cornet Chapman, Mr. E. Banks, &c. There are many others,' but these are the chief pedestrians on the Marion Parade, where the Co burg coat, Wellington boots, Blucher pantaloons, Cossack trousers, and white hats, are ;a4l the ion. Miss O'Nen.t...-As the Public are so tmucb in terested in the welfare of this charming Actress, they will learn with pleasure that there is no truth in the report that she has been indisposed at Boulogne. A Grand Musical Festival Fs announced to be holden at Christchurch, HAMS, on Friday, the sth of next month. From the liberality of the scale on which it is to be conducted—front the ce lebrity of the performers already engaged—and from the well-known taste for music which per vades Christchurch and its vicinity, there is every reason to suppose that the undertaking will merit and meet with the highest patronage.—This beau tiful and retired town is likely to boast of many visitors this autumn, for besides the great num ber of excellent private lodgings, it possesses one Of the most convenient hotels in the West, of England, and .affords more general accommoda tion than is frequently found in sea ports of this description. Near to Christchurch is Mudeford, a most excellent bathing-place, with the finest sand on the western coast.. The views from it are very grand and striking ; all the ships passing up and down Channel,, and going within the Isle of Wight, w•ithdhe Needle Rocks, Hunt Castle, Sr. Catharine, &c. &c. There are a variety of Gentlemen's scats and romantic rides in the neigh bourhood, and the periodical balls held at Hum by'; Hotel are always well attended. rort.suE SUN. . . Atr. EDl73ll,—Wh ' ile. I entirely approve of the suggestia! of yor•.r (nf;•espirinlent Punt'Cotn, of giving employment to che Volr, in the removal of impeditnints on the road; througfloot ilk-. coun try, I wiA to sec the ways r'itended in town. The state of the London Pavement in varions.places, and indeed throughout the capital, calls loudly for epa7at ion A strikinginstance may be seen, parti cularly, lir both the coach and foot passage leading train Northumberland-street to Scotland-yard.— The building of new ht idges is beheld o ithwhostile eye by the kni„ghts of the skall aild the but Many of them look with a saligtlille this place in particular, and speculate upon the advantages of high tides, during the winter, Miro, if the pavement is suffered to remain in its present state, Or rather to grow Worse and worse, as must be the case, it will he impassable, except in hoots. Mr. N;isit, who seems to be the favourite Court Architect at preSent, has, it is said, an office near the spot. It is impossible, then, as he has such a turn for improvement, that he can pass the place in question without being struck with the walks of gross neglect which appear in hope, Mr. Editor, that yon are not so intensely occupied by a consideration of national ways, and means, as to he revardless of the minor conveniences of the peo ple. Whether Mr. NAsu has anY thing to do with the, district in question I know not, but it would become him, at least, as he is so conversant in Court way's, to give a hint towards the reparation of Scotland-yard in general, as it is a demesne of the Crown. By inserting this you will prove your public spirit, and perhaps preserve the legs of many A PEDESTRIAN; A circumstance has recently occurred near Ca lais, which has excited great consternation an►oat the English visitors in France. An English Gen tleman has-been arrested for a cicht of 6001. con tracted in England, and as the circumstances are interesting to all those creditors who have fugi-• live debtors in France, we give the foilowiwg ac count of the process in the present case.—The arrest was founded upon a judgment for the above sum, of some standing in the Court of King's Bench, Westminster. An exemplification of that judgment, certified by the proper Officer of the Court, attested before the Lord Mayor, and cer tified by him and the French Consul resident in London, was transmitted to the Supreme Court at Paris. An exemplification of this process was then.sent by the Supreme Court of Paris to the Court below, with directions to send a copy of the pro cee►lings to the party, and summon him to attend before it. This process was accordingly served upon the party, but lie took no notice of it, and judgment by default went against him in conse quence, in the Court below, at Boulogne.— flaying received private information of this last stept, he was advised, to avoid being taken on ex ecution, to enter what is called in French prac tice, an opposition to thejudgmenr, which, if not clone within 24 hours, the execution must take its course. He was fortunately in time to avail himself of this advice, and the ca s e is expected to come on for trial in a few days. The French Lawyers conceive that the piocess is nor tenable, and it may be readily presumed that all the per sons who have run away to the Continent to avoid the payment of their debts, are of the same opi nion. BENEVOLENCe.—MtIeI to the credit of- WAnswoRTH, of Ovenden, near Halifax, she has erected a very elegant National School, and a Dwelling-house for, the accomodation of the Mas ter, where upwards of one hundred children are receiving instruction, and educated in the in inci ples of the Established Church. Snell a laudable institution is worthy of record, and will prove a blessing to the rising generations of the said town ship. A HousE-ratFAKEr. Sunr.—Abort two o'clock vesterdAy morning the house of T. Hurrcl, inuirlow Honse, Hackney-road, was burglariousiy entered by three notorious characters. They ef fected their entry by taking out two panneis of the front door. All the tans Iy, except Mrs. Hurr.ell. had retired to bed, and she being in the back part of the houie did not bear them until they had got into the hall ; she immediately ran up stairs to her husband, and while he went down stairs with loaded pistols she alarmed the whole family by ringing the bells. The villains, immediately on the alarm being given, ran to the door to endea vour to eseape ; they were pursued by Mr. Hur rell, but two of the thieves had got a considerable distance; the third had only time to get through the door before Mr. Hurretl called upon him to stop or he would shoot him ; he paid no regard to the words of Mr. Horrell, who therefore pur sued him and slot him ; be fell on the ground ; by that time all the family was up, and the wound ed man was taken into the house; his companions escaped. Hatfield, the Worship-street officer, was then sent for, and the wounded man was con veyed to the London Hospital, where he was un dressed, and in his pockets were found a phos phorus bottle and matches, and a hunch of pick lock keys. 1-Ic stated that his name was William Mitchel, son of -- Mitchel, carpenter, Armi tage-bridge, St. Catherine's ; he informed die of ficer of the name of his two companions. They are well-known characters at the titorship-street Po . lice-office, and officers ware immediately dispatch ed to apprehend them. The House Surgeon at: the London Hospital examined the wounded man, and found that a hall had entered the lower part of his back, passed his kidney, and lodged near the top of his right thigh. The Surgeon pro nounced the wound mortal. UNFORTUNATF. ACCIDENT.---Yesterday morn ing the following most shocking accident occur red :—James Nelson, servant to Mr. Morrison,' surgeon, Chelsea, was in the act of loading a pis- tot in his master's house, for the purpose of being ready should thieves attempt to rob the house.---- He pOured the powder out of a flask, which con tained about half a pound, and us he was pour ing it out, the lock of the pistol being at tull cock, by some means went off, and the sparks from the flint fl ew into the mouth of the powder flask, and the whole exploded in the fac e of the young man. His face and hands were burned most dreadfully; his hands were also hurt by the tin flask bursting ; he exhibited a most deplorable spectacle, and was conveyed in a dangercius state to St. George's Hospital.
