BRIG.!! TO 11, Ocs. 6.
--.......--
The weather is remarkably fine, and the con-
flux of company uncommonly great, considering
the advanced period of the season. Notwithstand-
ing the chilliness of the evenings, the Steyne con-
'nues to be srowded to a very late hour, and the
sides and walks in the day time are just as well at-
tended as in the height of the summer. The don-
keys. braying under their fair burthens, are goaded
on, as usual, by their unmerciful drivers.
A :forgery to a trifling amount has lately been
discovered, which has given rise to much conversa-
tion. The parties concerned were somewhat fa-
shionable in their appearance, and accustomed to
move in rather a respeaable society. Two notes are
said to have been passed, the one for 40 guineas, in
payment of a horse put chased of a dealer in the
own ; and the ether for a smaller sum, which was
negotiated, it teems, with a Sadler opposite to the
New Inn. On the presentation of these drafts, the
famed was deteited. The persons, however, who
had issued them, had previously decamped.
The inflexibility of Lord Titua Low's disposition,
we are sorry to say. was manifested towards one of
his daughterie even in his last moments. To Mrs..
Baciwir. who married contrary to his wishes, tug.
who left ber husband, to attend him dining his ille
ness, he has only bequeathed SOL a month ; and,
this, on the express condition, that she never returns
e her husband. To his other two daughters, he
s left 70,0001. a piece. His Lordship's cendate
' this remea, is censured with much apparent
' stice. Although we are willing, at all times, to
bscribe to that excellent axiom, " De 'eerier. mil
e i doom," still we cannot help thinking, that it
might have been snore creditable to his memory and
*Ming.. if he had relaxed a little from his accus-
tomed severity. on the present occasion. But
Spartan firrinees. and rigid tenacity, were the lead.
ing traits of his Lordship's charaaer.
The Green-me is said to be a Mr. COMP?, a stu-
dent of Lincoln's Inn, and a near relative of the
A7ass tellaaelg. iiiieementalleculties are sup-
-1.. ..'..eretred by too intense a study of Psi,
Anew!, and Coke upon Lyttirton. He had projetled
a plan for establishing a new penal code, and mak-
ing some material alterations in the civil jurispru-
dence of the country.

HARVEST HO'tE.
the gratifying scene of Harvest Home, was
exhibited on Saturday last, at Hay Park, belonging
to the Marquis of Donegal', near this town, to a
manner seldom witnessed in this part of the country.
This interesting spea tele commenced with i pro-
cession from the farm to Mr. Coates's foundry, and
back again through the turnpike : it was preceded
by a little boy with a smock-frock, carrying a
oolc, decorate,' with flowers, and the motto " Speed
tdr Plooit." Then followed the improved double
plough, the sculllar, and the roller ; the horses and
diisets all bearing the symbols of Ceree happy
reign; then the mowers, two and two, carrying
their implements, edcrned in a similar -manner.—
The waggon and four horse team followed. At
each sideof the horses were the female hay-makers ;
mid, on the top of the hay in use waggon, were the
builders, eitchers, &c. ; one of them carried " SUC.
LW to Faenumg."
The procession was doted with the horse of Mr.
Gerdner, his Lordship's Manager, led by two
little boys, with smock Bricks, &c. One of them
carried the 'ebonite's' book " All tiled," and the
other bearing the label, " We return God [hooka, all
is ie." The horse was decorated with garlands,
aed on the saddle was axed the churn. The Union
pipes,. and a fiddle, playing "harvest Home," gave
spin, to the scene.
After the happy groupe had returned to the
stack-yard, and given three cheers, &c. they retired
to a spacious table laid on the lawn before Mr.
Gardner's house, to the number of fifty or upwards,
where a side of beef and a whole sheep had been
dressed for them. A barrel of excellent ale seas
placed on tte green, from which they were abun-
.lently sueplied ; the enlivening dram was not
ere',ranted, and the fiddler and pipet soon invited them
tojoin the rural dance. A small prize was adjudged
te the best female dancer. and all the rustic train
horn labour free."
