BUILT Sr. EDMOND'S, JULY =g.—The bu finefs
tranfaeted in our Markets this day was trivial,
the farmers being engaged in Harveft, which has
generally commenced with every profpea of an
abundant feafon. Fine ft Wheat was about 58s. per
coomb, (or r rs. per quarter) none fold above 60'.
Very fine Rye and Oats, of this year's growth.—
The former 33s the latter 125.10 15S. per coomb.

On Tuefday lad there were entered inwards, at
the cultom-houfe, 28,960 quarters of wheat, and
6,490 quarters of oats.

That fpeculation generally comas itfelf, is
proved by the late fall in Hops. Many dealers,
who refufed 161. have lately fold them at 51. The
profecutors of Mr. WADDINGTON have probably
done him fome fervice : had he not been irnprifon-
ed, he would have encreafed his fpeculative pur-
chafes.

The following is a fingular inflame of prejudice
fubmitted to by the Emperor of China: The mul.
titude under the dominion of this Sovereign have,
from the earlieft ages, confidered a Solar tapfe as
inisioosu of tome general adawsitl ; and as reat pains
are taken to inf)ire them with a belief that their
profperity is owing to the wifdom and virtue of
their Sovereign, to they are tempted to attribute
to tome deficiency on his part whatever they think
portentous. To this inconvenient error the Em-
peror himfelf finds it prudent to accommodate his
conduit. He never ventures on any undertaking
of importance at the approach of Inch an eclipfe,
but affeCts to withdraw bimfelf from the pretence
of his courtiers, to examine ftrialy intohis late ad-
miniftration of the Empirc, in order to corrett
any error, for the commiffion of which the eclipfe
may have been an admonition ; and he invites his
qubjeas to offer him freely their advice.
