GLASGOW CORN MARKET.—Sept. 10.
Wheat supports the rates of last week. Foreign Barley
is dull of sale, and rather lower ; the price of New hu
varied but little since last week. Fine sweet Old Oats are
in fair request to the trade ; few New at market, which
sell slowly at our quotations. Beans are in fair demand,
without alteration in price. Pease are nearly unsaleable.

A few days ago, it was decided at Tiverton,
that a clergyman proceeding to his church, in company
with other persons in the same vehicle, exempted the car-
riage flom toll.

The Manufactories in'Trowbridge are ih full
employ—scarcely a person being out of work. One of the
largest factories in the town is now building, upwards of
100 bricklayers, masons, and labourfrs, are now employed,
and when finished, it will be the finest sloth factory in
Trowbridge.--Bath Herald.

The coal trade is rather flat at this season of
the year. Although the public works are consuming as
much fuel as at the briskest period of trade, yet such is
the increase of coal proprietors, and so much has the aug-
mentation of mines added to the ordinary out-put, since
the crisis of the combination, as well as several pits at
present shanking, that it has been found inadvisable to sus-
tain the late advance in price of coal, attempted by the sale
proprietors. Prices have now receded on the hills to
ss. 6d. a waggon for the best soft coal, and Os. 10d. for
the best hard coal, deliverable in town at the respective
rates of Bs. 6d. and 9s. dd. of 24 cwt._ Glasgow Chron.
Dr. GR AN v ILL E, in his Travels to St. Peters•
burgh, a book which contains a great deal of useful infor-
mation very pleasantly expressed, notwithstanding an occa- I
sional dash of affectation, give the following account of a•
dinner at Torma :—" For our dinner, consisting of a va•
riety of dishes, and including two bottles of wine, one of
which was excellent Bordeaux, and the dinner fur four
servants, the price charged amounted only to ten paper
rubles, or little more than nine shillings. Count WORMY.-
zow imagined the landlord had made a mistake in his de-
mand, and insisted that the charge was too little to be
correct. Upon this the landlord, who had not made out a
regular bill, but had asked the above sum off-hand, ob-
served, that he might perhaps have omitted to bring the
bottle of Bordeaux into his calculation, and begged, there-
fore, to add two francs more for that to the reckoning.
Fancy now, gentle reader, a Nobleman and his Lady, with
their suite, preceded by an avant-courrier, and followed by
four servants, arriving in three carriages at an inn any
where on the road to London, and being there entertained
as sumptuously as we were at Tonna,
in Ono of the forests
of Livonia, and 300 versts from the ;
"Ha, and think
with dismay at the long slip of paper headed The King's
Arms,' or The Itose,' which would be presented by honest
Boniface with his best bow, and in whirls the charge of
one item alone, the solitary bottle of claret, would be found
to equal the whole rukorlinfs of our repast is Livonia."

Viscount MELVILLE arrived in town last night
from Edinburgh. The only change at the Admiralty will
be Admiral Sir EDWARD OWEN, who returns to the
Ordnance as Surveyor-General in the room of Sir HERBERT
TAYLOR. Sir EDWARD OWEN will be succeeded at the
Admiralty Board by Admiral Sir TUOMAS M. HARDY.—

PERILOUS SITUATION OV THE LORD 13t-
SHOP OF BATH AND WELLS, AND A PARTY.-We have
received the following from an unknown correspondent at
Churchill, dated Weston-super-Mare, Thursday night,
Sept. 11 ::--On Tuesday and Wednesday last, the inhabi-
tants of this place experienced a considerable degree of
anxiety and alarm, in consequence of the protracted absence
of the Lord bishop of BATH and WELLS, and the Rev. D.
WILLIAMS, who, with a large party of ladies, left Weston,
in, an open boat, early on Tuesday morning for Llandaff,
whither our respected Diocesan went, for the purpose of vi-
siting the Lord Bishop of that place. Their apprehensions
have, howeVer, in a great measure, been relieved by an ac-
count this moment arrived, of the whole party, after a long
exposure to the elements, having safely landed at Newport,
whence they intend to proceed to this place by land, so
soon as they,siull have recovered from the unpleasant effects
of their voyage.—Bath Herald.

LORD NORBURY'S LAST.—Hearing of the
sudden death of the Dean of Lirtcor.x, his Lordship pre-
dicted the speedy downfal of the whole Chapter, because
they have one LEGGE in the grave already.

It is said that DE BEGNfS is in treaty for the

ACCIDENT TO MADEMOISELLE SONTAG.
—Yesterday afternoon, as Mademoiselle SONTAG descend-
ed the stairs of the Hotel de l'Europe, she had a severe fall,
in consequence of treading on a peach stone. The young
cantatrice rolled down ten steps, and was taken up after
having had her knee dreadfully crushed between two of the
iron balusters. Dr. KOREFF was immediately sent for, and
lavished his cares on his interesting patient, whose state
is not alarming, but who will be probably kept away from
the stage too long for the admirers of her talents.— Ga-
zette de France. -

The Shooting Season, which commenced on
Monday sennight, created but little interest in comparison
with preceding years. This we attribute to the rumour,
which was generally spread, of there being a scarcity of
game. With respect to the immediate neighbourhood of
Newbury, the report was strictly correct, there not having
been one-tenth the number of birds bagged the first week
this month, as were bagged during the corresponding week
of September 1827. Better sport was experienced north
and north-west of Newbury, particularly in the Vale ;
good shots have killed their ten and twelve brace.—Berhs
Chronicle.

This summer a swallow built her nest at the
mouth of a eoalpit at Grasstnoor, near Chesterfield, and
has hatched and brought forth young ones twice, although
there were men at work in the pit, and the banksman and
others close to it, still the swallow is not the least intimi-
dated, hut goes to the nest whenever it pleases. —Notting-
