MONTHLY REPORT FOR NOVEMnER.

Acenunts, of the date of last week, Fr port cot a even then
abroad, in various pails of the conatiy. Spritis wheat has
Bern pa; tietelaily backward. Much wheat anti barley which,
in order to take the utnu.st advantage of the intet vals of fair
weather, was carried prematurely. has fermented iu the stack,
and bet 0 retained to the field at great In Sour and earner,
in order to be suilieiently dried. A vast quantity tricorn has
speared in the livid and in the stack. The potatne crop is va-
riously reported, but may probably Ire reckoned one of the
hest of the present season; turnips and grass decidedly so.
Wheat-selling necessarily back Ward, on the fillows particu-
larly so t the operation by no mean: well performed in ge
Feral; the seed difficult to lie prociii ell gond, and at an erim -
goons price ; the sowing a extensive tracks must be di ferret(
until spring. The price of all kinds of live stock, with some
esception la favour of sheep, remains in a depressed state.
The difference between the market price of old and new
wheat, and a rise of some shillings per (warier at the Corn
Exchange. on openinz the ports to a foreign supply, milord a
gat isfaemry explanation of the opinion of the dealers. Weigh-
ing the earliest aid best-harvested wheats against the latest
Anil most defective, and taking into the account the unques-
tionable defect of timidity in all, it is perhaps not nn exagge-
ration to rate the present crop, with respect to public eon-
simiptimi, dewily oae half an abundant one ; nor are the pre-
rs nt high prices in any degree reimmerative to the generality
of farmers, a body of men iinder the most pressing circuit'.
'braces, and fully deserving the utmost consideration from
their landlords and the public.

We are sorry to announce, that the health of Sir Jo-
Oph Banks is in so very precarious a state, that his
friends are apprehensive of his speedy dissolution.
Sir John Hayford Thorold, Bart. of Lincolnshire,
Vs reduced his rents 20 per cent. where the letting was

explained by the Grand Duke, with the utmost accu-
racy with the nautical terms, are. The yanls were
manned, and the crews in excellent order, pefurmed, be-
sides the naval management of the ship, the military
•exercise as a battalion, which was executed with the
greatest accuracy. The improved system of manage-
ment being for the crew of the ship to act also •in the
capacity of our marines. The Prince Regent expressed

rangements and general establishment, and. compli-

ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, 4c.
We regret relearn, that Nottingham is still subject to the
I.4wless outrages end exactions of the Luddites. The u&-
lectors of the Bin.* Cousel:lre continue to key their contri-
butions, while the King's taxes and parochial rates remain
unpaid. A Collector of the Poor's rate et Nottingham, in
lately going his round, was, it answered by several
housekeepers—" We are suable to settle with you : the other
Cellectors have just been here; and you know we must pay
them." When his renlowntating with them, the reply
was—" Do you wish use to have my frames broken, or my
brains blown out."

A young Spaniard, and a married female of the same na- '
time, funned an illicit attachment lately-et Rourdeaux. The
husband, discovering it, took steps to break of the connex-
ion ; in rouse:pence, the guilty parties agreed on their mu-
; tual destruction, and they were both found dead, lying on a
bed undressed, with their heads shattered to pieces by pis.

A shocking occurrence took place on Thursday, at Melton
House of In•ltistrv, Sotrolk : a pauper, who hail been con-
fined a considerable time as a lunatic, was, from appearances,
recovering of kis malady, ant! the usual restraint in conse-
quence abated ; but melancholy to relate, sonic after he flit
himself at hberty, he seised a knife, and plunged it into the
breasts of three other invalids, one of whom immediately ex-
pired. Tier other two lie in a dangerous state.
Molise& OW ei/LONEL NILVIMAN.—On Tiscsday and Wed-
nesday, the lath and 2001 instant, D. Turkey, Esq. coroner
for this county, with the assistance of the Rev. J. Lombard,
the Rev. J. Chester, Esq. and Iticl;d. Tooker, magistrate .f the
neighbourhood of Mallow, was engaged in the investigatiou
of this horrid transaction. The result has been the discovery
of the whole• pion and neemnplishnient of the robbery and
murder, with ere pprelimisibu of the entire party concerned.
Three men and one worAan have been fully committed for
trial, ah of whom (excepk one of the men) were in Colonel
New inau's own employmeut. It appeared that the horse had
been entered from the lobby window looking into the yard,
by the help of a ladder, the sash and glass of which were
found broken in pieces; but, as is supposed, were so broken
by design on the party's entering, to give a colour to the first
story circulated by the servants that the house had been broken
into by strangers. On entering the house, the party went im-
mediately to the Colonel's room, the door of which was not
lucked, and strangled him with their hands as he lay in beg.
He was found in the morning with' evident marks of violence.
his throat being blackened, and having mark* ofserntelics, as
if imprinted by the nails of their hands in the straggle, and
his shirt was a little bloody from the effect of the scratches.
The property taken consisted of a few bank notes in a small
leather hote case, the colonel,. geld watch amid seals, his pis-
tols, arid the clothes he were the day before. The manner in
which New berry-hoase WAS thronged during the investigation,
fully marked the abhorrence of the crime frit by the whole
neighbourhood, as well as the great Internal taken in the me,
lancholy fate of this respected gentleman. The colonel com-
manded the sth dragoons in the campaign in Flanders, and
was a man of a most intrepid character, and of amiable and
hroffensive -manners. He was in his 'l3d year.— Cork paper.
Prrta'atitenctt, Manciterran.—Sunday morning, during
divine service, the beadle discovered the church to be unu-
sually fall of smoke, examined the stove, and found, that
owing to ate aperture in the thee maderneath the west aisle, the
fire had forced its way to the flier: little slaagev was appro.
hended till the sermon was nearly over, when the congrega-
tion took the alarm. The churchwardens, who had in the
mean time got assistance, came, load, with the cushions
damped, stopped the fire, which was issuing from the flue,
and in a few minutes the fire was got under, but not without
much damage to the church.
Resoetrrr: Dertsce.—Mr. Kcarley, formerly of South
Sea Common, put up his horse at the public-lonise at Four-
post, near Southampton, and, i.etendtng to pass the night
theft, at an early hour he retired to bed. In the course of
the evening four mesa entered the tap-room, and sat there
drinking until a late hour, when they dropped some expres.

they intended to rob the Mouse ; the latter accordingly Mune•
diately proceeded to Mr. Kearley's room, and told him the
danger that was likely to ensue, and at the Caine time gage
him her master's short constable's staff, wuich happened to
be in the hone.. .41r. Kearley hastily put on sonic of his
clothes, and went'dovia stairs, at the bottom of which he was
stopped by the four men, Site foremost of whom was armed
with a very long ludic, with which he threatened to resist
with violence. Mr. K. instantly sprang over the rails of the
stalts,sad, by s most violent blow with the staff, broke the
arm in which the knife was held t then, as iustautaneously,
knoriaed nnuther of theist down, which the other two per.
criviug, ran away, leaving their wounded companions to be
seenred and delivered over to the Civil Power. A less de-
cisive and gallant coedact would probably have endangered
