ANOTHER LETTER SAME DATR.

I now take the present opportunity of informing
you of the arrival and reception of the witnesses
in her Majesty's favour. They arrived yesterday
morning in our Roads on hoard the Vigilant paeage
vessel ; a considerable time elapsed before they
received their orders from the shore permitting them
to land, which wa■ about eleven o'clock—they ut
het put off in Iwo boats; the Mauna the first of
them set foot on *lmre three cheers were given, in
which the witnesses themselves joined—they con-
sisted of tot-city-one persons, all of very respectable
%ye:trance; the contrast in their appearance, and
that of the others that arrived far the prosecution,
was as great as the difference in the manner of
their being received. When landed many persons
shook them cordially by the hand ; they were after-
wards conducted to the Union Hotel, when, slier
t 'king some refreshment, they obtained their pass.
ports, and at about hell-past three o'clock a
band of amateurs of the Friendly Musical So.
ciety of this town assembled opposite the hotel ;
two coaches were then drawn up into which the
persona got, they immediately started, end went, pre-
ceded by the baud of music, at a walking pace
through the town. They were attended by an im-
mense number of persons cheeriug occasionally
most heartily. On the box of the first coach was
seated a respectable tradesman of this town carry-
ing a large handsome flog out which was inscribed
" God sure Queen Caroline!" They were accom-
panied to the first turnpike out the London-road
amidst repeated cheers; they then separated in the
most orderly and quiet manner, end the coaches
started post fur Hammersmith; in their passage
through the town they were repeatedly saluted by
many well-dressed females, sitting at their windows
whose atteuticns they seemed highly gratified with,
and returned their salutations with the greatest po-
liteuess. Several of them are very venerable-look-
ing men ; one is said to be the Mayor of Como,
another an iniikeeper.
A most liberal subscription has been entered into
here in trill of the Loudon subscription for the
Queen's plate.

MONTHLY REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER.

It is only in the most northerly parts of B►itain that the
whole of the harvest is not accused, and that in the best pos-
sible condition. With respell to quantity generally, of corn,
pulse, and fruit, the present bee been one of those plentiful
seasons which are not of frequent occurrence, as stated in
our last report. The drawback on these advantage. con-
sisted in the hlipht occasioned by the various changes of wee-
ther, hat bow far this misfortune ha■ extended, cannot yet be
sufficiently aseectaiued; no doubt, however, remain. that the
crops are (idly adequate to our consumption, and that there
is no present prospect of the need of importation, except.
ing, peihaps, of oats, in existing circumstances, it may
be most advantageous to import. The want of rain
has miteli affected both the grass and the turnips; the
latter will, in many parts, be a failing crop. Slurp is nut
said of the potato crop, but no waist is s xperieacid. Hors

flower being stinted and smell, and mould very prevalent.
(If lire stock, both atone and fat, the quantity is abundant;
pigs are ready sale at ■ good price, our markets chiefly de.
pending on the supply from Ireland. Cows in calf seem al-
ways in deemed at high pukes. Cart horses are bought for
less money than of late years. ►u the midst of universal
plenty and unlimited demand, farming is a ruinous concern,
and never, vrithiu late memory, have there been so many
farms hi want of tenants. The cankier.worni of TAXATION

iug up its vitals, and the great body of the people look ou
passively, and as if unconcerned.

A number of boys lately assembled at Fell's
Point, for the purpose of exhibiting r mock execu-
tion—boys who had probably attended the execu-
tion of Horton ai.d Hull. An unhappy youth,
eleven years of age. who personated one of those
culprits, stood upon a pile air stones, with one end
of a rope round his neck and the other attached to
a beam. One or re of the boyish spectaturs
acted the pert of a divine, &e. ‘ll.ile the unfor-
tunate youth war stimiling in this situation, his
comrades retrieved the stones whitla formed the pe-
destal, and alarmed by the struggles of the expir-
log youth, Inn away, and left Inns to die a martyr
of their own fully.—(Befrimure Chronicle.)
