The hay harvest has been generally protracted by the c:lnstant rains, but at last finished ; both the natural and sown grasSes more fortunately than could have been expected, leaving the pros peet of an abundant aftermath. Scarcely any stuck of old hay on, hand. The long succession of c3ol and rainy weather will occasion a much later corn harvest than was expected, in which, however, there will 'be the advantage of great fullness and substance in the ear from gradual vegetation. The want of sun has been generally felt since the great heats in June, and, in ihe northern parts of the country, much corn of all kinds is yet in an imma ture state. In the forward districts, and upon the best soils, great breadths of corn have been cut within the last fortnight, and as much carried as the wet state of the weather would permit. On such soils, .the crops of wheat, barley, oats, pease, and rye, are great ; and the few samples yet shewn at market are of fine quality. Beans will, per haps, turn out beyond expectation, but the Heligoland beans have not succeeded so will as the nd!ive. On the least promising sods, grain of all kinds seems likely to prove an average crop, granting a favourable latter harvest. FURIOUS RIDING. MANstqlsT-Housa.—Saturday Abraham Davis, one of the unfeeling jockeys who ride about Suit tifield, was charged with riding a horse in the most furious manner on Friday, to the great terror of the passengers. The complainant stated, that the offence was daily committed, and if not put a stop to by timely punishment, some fatal circumstance must ensue. On the present o,:ca 'sion the lives of several were endangered. The prisoner - said he was innocent of the offence im puted to him, and w..is fatherless.—The Loan MAvoa said, if hii vicious career in horse riding was not stopped, he might lea.e others fatherless as well as himself. Mr. Hobler having examined the Act of Parliament, "it was found to impose a penalty not under 21. and not exceeding 101. for the offence .--4 he Loan MAYOR ordered the pri soner to be fined in the former sum, which being unable to he was about to he committed to the House' of Correction for six mouths. His employer, however, stepped forward, and paid 11. undertaking at the same time to pay the other without delay. The very great satisfaction the plan adopted in former Lotteries gave to persons residing i►► the Country, has induced 'l'. litsft to repeat it in the present The undermentioned Tickets are reserv ed for such persons as may order them, and as the Numbers last advertised were approved by many persons residing in London, it has been thought advisable, for the convenience of the Ptthlic; to have part at !he West, and part at the East End of the Town.—The foll Owing may be had at No. 4, Cornbill, either in whole Tickets, Halves, Quarters, Eighths, or Sixteenths : No. 609 .

LITEII A rtlr REVIEW. POR'T'RAITS of ILLUSTitioLS PERSONAGFS of f;llP.:l'r BRITAIN'. Imperial Folio, Part XI. London : LACKING TON and Co., and LONGMAN and Co. We regret that we had not an earlier oppor• wilily of noticing this interesting and valuable , work, which is highly creditable to the talents and learning of the Author, as well as to the enter• vrizing spirit of the Publi , hers.—But it has been often, and too justly observed, that the BOOK.* SELLERS are the best PATRONS of LITERATURE •,` '44(' and, therefore, persons of rank and fortune tray well" Gide their diminiThed heads," in courparison, This work 'must be attended with very great ex pellee, and we hope that its success will be 41 proportion, Indeed we can have no doubt that this will be the case, The numerous pin'e's which it contains are executed in a masterly manner, and do honour to the English School of En graving. The merits of Mr..LODGE, the Author, are too well knnivn to require our eulogium. We can therefore with fall confidence recommend the work altogether to the notice and protection of the admirers of the FINK ARTS, and also to the Scholar, the Patriot, and the Moralist, as it holds forth examples to encourage as well as to warn, in the biographic accourus of the most distin guished characters of British History. The typographic part has all the usual correc•ness of Mr. DAVISON'S Press. As a specimen of the style, we subniit to our Readcrs the following sketch of the life of ROBERT DvVEREUX, Earl of Essex, the well-known object of Royal affec tion, and the lamented subject of historical and poetic celebrity :-- ROBERT DEVEREUX, EARL OP ESSEX. "That incomparable Essex, who was the second Earl of his family; the great favourite of Elizabeth, and of England; the admiration and the regret of Europe. In an age cer tainly inquisitive; at least pretending to exquisit• taste and judgment ; and peculiarly distinguished by its incessant and various employment of the press ; it is astonishing that no regular and detailed c.:lebration should have been dedicated to the memory of this very extraw dietary man. We hare been gorged, even to disgust, with tedious pieces of unmerit ed biography, and the actions and motives of plodding states men, insignificant courtiers, and t Owls who 'resembled Essex in nothing but iii their rank and their punishment, have been sifted and analysed with the most insufferable minute ness ; while a thOusand inestimable memorials of a character, the exquisite perfections and errors of which were almost pe culiar to itself, have been suffered to remain scattered and unconnected on the pages of history, or buriea in undisturbed manuscript. Hew can we account for this omission ? Have fear and modesty deterred modern biographers from ventur• ing on a task to perform which worthily the pen must some times be dipped iu the softest milk of human kindness, anti sometimes into the burning fermentation of furious passions; or must we ascribe it to a submission, less excusable, to the depraved taste of a time in which 11:story is chiefly devoted to the discovery of political analogies, and to the suggestion of• party arguments ? The narrow compass to which these es says are limited prohibitslht Author Iron , an attempt in which he could have but little chance of success. He must cmmnfine himself here to a mere recital of circumstances. But it were earnestly to he wished that some one in whom delicate feel. ing is ,united to acute judgment ; Min could form a fait esti mate of admirable merits and of venial imprudences; who tnay be qualified by an extensive knowledge of time history of the human heart as well as of his country, would write a life of the Earl of Essex. " He was the sun of Walter Dever - tte, Viscount Hereford, &c. who had been created Earl of Essex by Elizabeth, in 1572, and whose portrait, with a sketch of his lite and character, may he found elsewhere in this work. His motile' was Lettice, daughter of Sir Francis Knollys, K. G. a relation, at no great • distance, to Anne Bullen, the Queen's mother ; and Robert, the elder of their two son, was born at the Earl's seat of Netherwood, in Herefordshire, on the 10th of November, 1567. His childhood was undistinguished by any promise of more than ordinary parts. We are told indeed by Sir Henry Wotton, who may be said to have studied the history of the family, that his father had formed a very mean judgment of his understanding, and directed his attention therefore` chiefly to the improvement of Walter, his younger son. Robert had not attaheed his tenth year whet he suc ceeded to the honours and estates of his family. His father had committed him to the care of persons of, une communion wisdom and worth. Burghley .was his guardian s and the severely virtuous Sussex, in dischittge of a promise to the Earl un his death bed, his firm friend. Sir Edward Wa terhouse, a man perhaps equal to them in talents, as he cer tainly was in honour and integrity, personally superintended his affairs, and watched over his conduct with a vigilance which was sweetened, as well as strengthened, by the most earnest affection, for Waterhouse had been entirely beloved and trusted by the deceased Earl, and entered on his charge with a heart overflowing with kindness and gratitude. To - wards the end of the year 1578 ; the young Essex, by the di rection of Lord Burghley, became a student of 'Trinity Col lege, in Cambridze. Whitgift, afterwards Priwite, who was then master of that house, ufidettook the direction of his education, and hem the character and powers of his mind were unfolded his obedient application to the severer or .' ders of learunog was not less remarked than his attachment to 'mire polite studies, and he was distinguished for an ele gance and fluency of composition of which his time atfdrded few instances. His manners were peculiarly engagiaz ; his temper mild, compliant, and marked by a graceful serious ness which approached to , uelandholy; his moral conduct - stained by no vice, and becomingly tinctured with dignity. He, remained in the University till i 582, when he took the degree ‘f Master of- Arts, and soon after went into South Wal e s, where he resided in one of his family mansions, anti became, stirs Wotmon, so enamoured of a rural life, that it required touch persuasion to withdraw him from his retire ment. " In 1584 lie came at length to the Court, induced and Pa tronised by his father-in-law, Leicester, who was then in the zenith of his power. It had beets strongly ruinow ed that Leicester caused the late Earl's death by poison. He had married the widowed Countess with indecent haste. and perhaps now sought to lessen the suspicion under which he lalsoured by thus publicly professing his affection for the son. It has beets said that Essex was inclined to reject his proffer ed friendship ; we find, however, that in the succeeding year he accompanied Leicester, then appointed Captaimu-General in the Low Countries, to Holland, where, though little more than eighteen years old, he received the commission of Ge neral of the Hulse. He was distinguished in that campaign by his personal bravery, especially in the battle of Zutphen, and on the 27th of December, 1587, shortly after his return, was suddenly elevated to the dignified post of Master of the Horse. Its the following year, when Elizabeth assembled an army to await at the mouth Of the Thames the awful at tack threatened by Spain ; when superior military skill, to direct the bravery of her troops, was perhaps even more im portant than the wisdom of her ministers to the support of a crown which was then thought by many to totter on her head ; she chose this youth to command her horse, aud de corated him with that splendid order of knighthood which she had frequently denied to the best and the noblest of her old servants. Thus far he seemed to common observers to have been borne forward on the wing of Leicester's power, or ra ther till this period had Elizabeth been able to conceal that extravagant partiality which presently after astonished all Europe, and still remains perhaps the most remarkable Para- • dox in English history. • " Leicester died in the amtuenn of that year, and Essex in stantly rose to a measure of favour which that extraordinary man, whose influence over the Queen had been so long envied, never enjoyed. It was unsought by himself. It pursued hint. It seemed even to molest him, by interrupting the course of his inclinations, and confining his ardent and independent spim it to spheres of action which, thong's the amplest that a Monarch could offer, were too narrow for its rapid and eccen tric range. Even so early as the spring of 1589 he tell, um. permitted, teem the Court, and tailed to Portugal with Norris
