AwituutirußAL REPORT Fon orronrn.

Harvest, in the most northern and backward counties, was
at its height when the late rains commenced, which have to a
considerable degree, retarded its completion ; that, however,
;nay nc espeeied to take plsee iii the coin se of the present
now h. Wheat iu those districts will not reach an average crop,
Moil will be an irregular sample. Barley is more abundant ;
lint a considerable part of the oats will be rut unripe. Baldry
and oats generally are very large and productive; the quality
of tne barley fine upon the best soils. Beaus, and particularly
grey pease, are abundant in the south, and scarcely halt a
t top in many parts of the north. Wheat on the best soils,
and, as it has generally happened, where it was complained
or as too thin planted in the spring, has fully equalled those,
which are called yielding years; the ears have been remark-
aaly large, and eighty tire grains have been blond in an car;
thy double of an average smother. The estrione fineness of
ts;' September has been of inexpressible benefit on all hands,
sad parricidal ly with respect to wheat, which was too hastily
put tii..;e•lier, and which the appiehensions of the farmers in-
dimes: ;ii.sin to open and spread. Potatoes on middling lands
are the lawst crop ever known ; on the richest, it is said,
they have full rather too much to haulm. Did the wheat
crop equal that of the potatoe, there can be no doubt
that, conjointly, they would equal a two years' consump-
tion for the poputation or this country. L tie letters
from the Continent express great douLts of the extent of their
earn crops, as given in the public prints; and the exaggera-
tions is France are attributed to the &stators of the press.--
The grown and mildewed w lit at in the north, and some parts
of the midland districts, will detach considerably front the
a4gregate quantity and quality of the crop. nib, it is said,
wad not he notch, or spoedily educed in price; the stocks
being low, in consequence of the failure of the barley crop or
last year. rum ps, colesred, lama math, both grass and glover,
are in the utmost abundance; in cansequence store stock has
advanced in price, and greater stocks put to feed than during
the last two seasons. Hops excellent iii quality, and said to
approach one fifth of an average. Wool oh both sorts a brisk
bade, and !Jock oa hand. The early sown wheats in Wilts,
Gloucestershire, and elsewhere, %soy forward and litxuriatit :
wheat arming in au parts very forwaid, in others not yet
ennimeneeil, from the lateness of the harvest. Good horses
of ail kinds have brought team kiddy high prices throughout
the year. A general surplus of harvest labourers, and
wages too low ; many could not find employ. Fewer com-
plaints from the vomits y than in any ciao of the last two
years; but a general opinion that, under the present burden
of taxation, farming cannot be carried WI at less than thc pre-
sent prices.

OLD BAILEY, SATURDAY.

T. Dalton and T. Role, the former of whom was convicted, and the
butte acquitted on Fiiday on a charge of highway robbery, 1•1:11'1. 1111
Saturday, again indicted for a highway oeittery silent Win. Davies,
and etealing trop his person a gold chant end seal, his mope riy.
The Prawcutt:r is a dealer in wino and spirits, No. rte. Greenfield-
street, Whitechapel, deposed, that on the night of Tuesday, the 14th
of the. last, mite was proceeding lennewarde through White.chatiel.
and at the end of Mack Lion-court, he was seized by the arms and
held down by Datum, while another man, whom he believed to he
Rule, made a snatch at his chain. The chain wa, broken, and the
watch remained in the lid). The prisoners rim away with the chain
and gold seal. Prosecutor could positively swear to the person of
Dalton, but was not certaita as to that of Rule.
The witness was then ordered by the learned Judge to stand down,
without having nekid the prisoner Dalton, whether lie would ask any
questions of the prosecutor. Dalton seemed notch affected, and said.
he plainly perceived that his life was about to be sworn away without
being alloweel to vindicate hinieelf. He wished to put a few ques-
tions to the prosecutor, but to was even denied that cmmon.privi-
lege. The witness was itumediate:y called back, but the }meaner
put no material questions to lain.
John Grillithe. a police officer of Lambeth-street, proved the
apprehension of Dalton, in Black Lion-court. He Val taken into
custody in consequence of the description given of his person by the
prosecutor.
Another Police officer proved the apprehension of the prisoner
Rule.
Delten, being called upon for hie defence, earnestly professed his
innncenee, and being aeltiel whether he had any witness to call, re-
plied, Celt he could have called men), witiwe es to prove his innocence.
and wholeould prove that he was at home in toed and asleep nt the
time of the robbery. bat he thought it would have been of nn use,
since he had already been convicted of an offence similar to the
ptesent.
. Three or four witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner Rule a
good diameter.
The Jure, with little hesitation, found Thom s Dalton Guilty, but
acqeitted Thou tas Rule of the charge.

NEXT FRIDAY, 7th Nov.
J. end J. SIVLWRIGHT do not consider it neces-
sary to continue to advertise at full length the Scheme of the Grand
Lottery, wideli commences Drawing next Friday, as it is evident, by
the tharnual fur Tickets at their Offices. (the only sure criterion), the
Scheme is well understood, and duly appreciated.; they will therefore
only recapitulate a few of its prominent merits—it containse,BB4 more
Prizes than Blanks-3,7(x) Kink have the option of receiving £l2
each, or of being re-drawn, and thus have two Cher,c;:s fur one Pur-
chase. There are only 7,100 Numbers. two of each, and
I Number may gain the prodigious Sum of 8,),X0
5 Numbers must each gain the Sum of 40,000

J. and J. sivEwitiGirc have on Sale Tickets and Shares
at moderate Prices, at their Ohl eitablislicd Offices, No. 37, Corn-
bill, :Is, Haymarket, 11. Holborn. and 141, Oxterd-street, where
the I.ast .LlO,OOO Prize and 11 other Capitals have been recently di-
Tidy.' among the Public.

The affairs between Spain and Portugal lately wore
a formidable aspect, and threatened to throw the whole
of Europe into combustion. The parties manifested
their hostile dispositions, but Money, " the sinews of
war," was wanting. Money is not only the sinews of
war, but the promoter of happiness, and the dispenser
of pleasure ; and it must afliml the Public great satis-
faction to learn that a very considerable sum will be
distributed among them Next Friday, when the Lot-
tery commences -drawing. Those who intend to par-
take of the Six l'rizes of £20,000, will do well to ap-
ply in time at the offices of G. Carol, the Contractor,
7, Cornhill, and 26, Oxford Street.
Our venerable Sovereign entered the 58th year of
his reign on Saturday week; a select party was invited
by her Majesty on the occasion, at Windsor Castle; the
Prince Regent was present‘,
His Majesty's health continues good, his appetite re-
mains unimpaired, and his sleep sound and uninterrupt-
ed. Seven years have elapsed yesterday since his Ma-
esty last appeared in public.
Her Majesty will set off for Bath on Monday morn-
ing. General Taylor qnitted town on Friday.
We understand, that on an application being made
to know in what manner her Majesty would be pleased
to be welcomed into Bath, it was intimated, that as the
Queen would travel the whole journey on the same day,
it would be gratifying to her, that no ceremonious pro-
cession should take. place ; hut that her Majesty's car-
riage might pass to her residence as quietly and unob-
a.ructedly as the nature of circumstances would allow.
. tTbe German Journalists, emulating the san.arity of
certain of their brethren here, have revived their idle
prosing about an assemblage of the great ai iied
powers. It is no longer at Mentz, or Frankfurt, or
Coblentz. or Cologne, or Carlsbad where this porten-
tous assemblage is to take place, but at Spa, the po-
litical virtues of whove waters are no doubt superior
to those of Carlsbad.

Recent accounts of the trade in the United States
for English manufactures are very good : sales of Man-
chester cotton goods were making at a very handsome
profit, The crops of all descriptions of grain were
abundant. Flour was at nine dollars the barrel ; but
the cotton crops had suffered so much
,tom the land
floods, that it was certain not a third of an average
crop would he raised. Money was very abundant in
all parts of the United States.
Our report of the arrival of the Duke of Wellington
in England appears to bcpremature. We derived the
intelligence from au Evening paper of Saturday.
Czensa. GEoucus.--There has been published at
Augsburgh, an official correction of the idle rumour
•lately circulated, concerning an alleged misunderstand-
ing between the Courts of St Petershurgh anti of Tur-
key. The chief points insisted on are:--Ist. That the
Ottoman Government could have taken no part in tl.e
execution of Czerny ieorge.s, since it took place a fiw
hours after he entered the Turkish territory. 2d. That
the Emperor of Russia, on the first intimation of the
design of Czerny Georges to pass the Russian frontier,
withdrew the protection hitherto conditionatly granted
him, and revoked the honours which his Majesty had
etanimmd upon him. id. That Baron Stroganoff made
no representations whatever to the Ottoman Porte, on
the subject of this Servian leader. 4th. That the
corps of Benningsen was never an army of uliservation,
and hail received no reinforcements. sth. That the
line of demarkation is nearly settled between the two
Imperial Courts, " so that the corps of Turkish troops
disciplined in the European fashion," will find no oc-
cupation for the present. The disputes said to exist
between England and Turkey arc declared to be equally
imaginary.

We are enabled to say, that the Committee of Nlanttge-
ment of Drury-lune Theatre, in furtherance of their
praiseworthy design, to aid the widow and family of
their late respected Manager, have granted the use of
the house Ibr a public pet-tin-man ', on Friday next
In this perti•rmanee will be included the great talent
of both Theatres.
