REPORTS FOE. OCTORER:

SCOTLAND.

The. unsettled and wet NVCailie:r which We
ii October, alarmed the inhabitants of this. nerr -
ern, clitnare with a dreA, that the corns which
Were in the shooks, not cat down, would be
liable to much injUry. This.however bas„not: been
the case; -as the. _riiint were generally succeeded
by fine drying, ?.ILlpough not shaking- x6nds, me
coiisequeut the damage sustained has been, truly
immaterial.

The rerriarkable fide weather of last week was
partiettlarly favourable for 'taking in, and clearing
the, fields, in, even the most cold and bleak parts
of the- country ; and i.v.onderfA to tell, consider-,.
ing the 'lateness of the season and the once iitt‘
promising appearante . the whole crops o' Scot-
land are now neaidst in the tr:lrn-yar .; and that
too in tolerable condition. in.close situations,
or in small wooded incloswes, not admitting the
• air, the corns may have suffered considerably.
The cpiautity of grain is, certainly abov-. ati
average crop, but as to the quality, that is ftrhaps,
not yet fully ascertained—hmvev6., be that as it
may, it undoubtedly has not ly( a so much injured
as alleged H::to -establish this point, we shall quote
the words' of a sensible agriculthral reporter for
the middle ward of Lanarkshire. " The crop, to
this day (October 29) is no way dashed nor
wasted with storms, blasts,':mildews, or frosts
'and it seidom came to thse sickle in greater abun-,
dance, or in more complete` maturity:"---In steer-
however, a middle courses between the-grow,
ling alai:mist, and the sanguine describer, the-truth
perhaps may be f6und, medic tutissinics iris. This
maxim 'Mill prevent us. from gie7iny, way 'to unne-
cessary fears
_on the one hand, •ancron the other
not to trust too much to 'oat• abundance, ~so as to
make us neglect economy, which was unh.appil;
the case inthe,crop of fast year.
In short, after'a minute investigation and
titillation, into what w; C. have seen, and hito what
We have heard, we conclude-that prices will not
greatly decline, elthotigh there is undOubtedly
more than an average crop in-the country, while
it must be adthitted, that in,several districts some
part of it will be found to be light and unsound.

WIGTOSHIRE QU'ARTERLY REPORT

Harvest commenced rather late tb;,to otherwise,
and the farther it advaneed, the, weather became
the less favourable. •

High winds have not been very Injurious, but
rains have been frequent and atten-
tion and great exertion have been requisite, and it
Eras only been on a small proportion of farms that
the crop has been secured without very consider-'
able loss.'-

It is an old remark, that the weather during
harvest resembles that of seed-time. This year,
however, has furnished an exception, and is likely
to be remembered.as such.

Wheat is certainly the hest crop, -end oats Fro-
bably the worst; but upon the whole,- had har-
vest, proved propitious, the crop,in general would
have rather exceeded an average. Cold and-late
soils Kaye of course suffered worst inTheir pro-
d-ace, and indeed, in some such situatioas,.harvest
is scarcely yet concluded.
• Tile effect of, these misfortunes must be felt at
Market, but perhaps, like last year,. the extent
.11:ay not be ascertained. until the following spring
be far advanced, and then a dearth, short but
severe, mayagain•occur.

This should be guarled against by cs'ery• pru-
dent mean••, for high prices are a national cabs-
mity, and can never ultimately enrich the great
class of agriculturists. ,

Potatoes appeared in most • situations highly
promising, hut the wetness for some 'time paste
must likewise have. hurt them much, and a con,
siderable proportion of that estimable crop is
already. consumed; at least, a Much larger pro-
portion than Usual,. owing to the excessive scar-'
city of meal before harvest.
Turnips are not gaining ground in this district;
and will probably never be extensively cultivated.
where not fed Off, at least in-part by sheep. This
season, however, they are a prettY fair crop: •
Fallows have not been in good order to sow
with 'wheat for. a considerable, time,
,and where
that grain is meant to succeed potatoes, it has
`not yet been procticable to sow to, any consider-
able extent.

There is istilLa demand for cattle, but prices arc
understood to be reduced, and -as fodder will in
Liauy. instances:turn out of inferior quality, pru-
dence would require the winter'stock to be pretty
limited.---NoYEkEEIi

At Kels6 fair, on Tuesday, there was an indif,
ferent show- of cattle ; those fat for the butcher
brought front 9s. 6d. to lOs. a per stone, sinking
•offals ; wintsrers brptight pretty good prices.—
There"was a good .number of horses in the mar-
ket, but very few good ones; sale dull. •
We are happy to learn, 'by a late arrival from
Snetland, that, since our last advic-es, the wet her
has taken' a very favourable turn,, and that Cie
crops in that country will by no means be -so de-
ficient as formerly represented. The.bean crop,
.has improved Much, and is expected to be tOle.r-
ably good; the potatoes also proMise 'well in
many parts of the country, so that it is hoped
the supplies required will be trifling, in Compari-
son of what was'sometime ago dreaded.

HIGH COURT Ok -ADMIRALTY, Nov. 13.

CASE OF THE FORTITUDU.

This was a Danish ship, captured by a priva-
teer, while_sailing between Bourdeaux and Havre
with an English license on board; allowing her to
,go on such a destination in ballast, for the pur-
pose of afterwards bringing a cargo to England ;
'lny it wagiobjected by the Counsel for the cap-
fors, that the license was expired, and that the
vessel was not in ballast, but was carrying two
hogsheads of claret, and a hogshead and a half of
brandy.
It turned out, that the Danish master, who
was also owner of the ship, having been detained
arßourdeaux a long time, by circumstances that
(lid. not Very distinctly appear, at last -bethought
himself of getting away under the protection of
amEnglish license ;- and, though he knew nothing
about any cargo to be obtained at Havre; or else-
,wl-ere, he wrote, in April, to an agent of his own
in London, who procured for him the license above
described, which bore date the 11th of May, and
was to afford protection for four rponths. lie had
a clearance from Bourdeaux six 'days before, the
license :was expired, but.did not get out of the,
river of Bourdeaux till eight days after its expira-
tion. This delay was accounted for by' the Inas-
ter's having come over to England in 'the mean
while, and staid some thne on concerns, and
afterwards' gonc'to Paris to look'for afreight, and
thence to Bourdeaux to repair the ship. He stated
that, he did not hear of a freight till the 19th of
August, and then only by.letter from Paris, but
did not say what the cargo for England was to be,
or who was to supply it.
The Counsel for the captors contended, that
this jobbing and speculating in licenses wasliotto
be countenanced. They surmised, that thete was
in reality no eargO for England lying at Havre ;
but they further argued, that if there _eras any,
yet the Danish master could not be protected by
the terms of the license, which required such cargo
to be imported into England within the four
months ; and that the Court ,could not equitably
extend the time, as the master had not shewn that
he hadused due diligence to conform to his license
`in thiS particular.
The Court, however, thought ..that the Man
was antiiufortunate person; that be had displayed
all the activity which circumstances periuitted,
aed, therefore, that he was entitled to the equita-
, ble protection of the license; and it restored the
slip, on payment of the captors' ex.pences of
bringing- the question before the Court. The wine
and }Andy were alSo given up to the Dane, .tho'
-sonic cases.were'cited in. which the Court' had held
ari_icles of les .5-valise to conic under the description
of cargo, and therefore to be out of the protection
of a ballast license. .

A few days ago, immediately after the late high
tide, there was discovered under the cliffs between
Lyt»e-Regis and Charinouth, the complete pe-
trifaction of a crocodile, seventeen feet in length ;
and. hi an imperfect state. It was dug out of
the cliffs, nearly on a level with. the sea, at the
depth of one hundred feet below the summit of
the cliff.

Yesterday se'n night, a chaise from Bridgenorth,
drove to the Lion Inn, Wolverhampton, with two
sengers, a male and female, who immediately
proceeded in another chaise to Birmingham. Mr.
Evans, the landlord, was from home at the time;
but on his return., the information he receiveil
f rani the Pridgenorth post-boy, and other cirun7i
stances,- led him to suspect the male passenger was
a French prAoner he immediately sent an ex-
press to Birmingham, which reached there before
the chaise. The constables, in consequence, were
IA readiness at the Royal Hotel, and: the parties,
on their arrival, were seized. The man proved to be
Lieutenant Montcazin, a French naval officer, who
had been only four days at Bridge forth previous
to hi: breach ofparole ; find the feniale stated
herself to have met with him by accident, and pre-
ierred this mode of travelling to the coach.
