The Ramfey yacht, from London, has juft en-
tered this harbour from Dover, having left Calais
yefterday morning. The people fay, there is no
difficulty in landing without a paffport, but very
great °Wades to a return. On their firft landing,

MARGATE, WT. 29.

Among the fathionables laft night, at the The-
atre, were—the DsvoNsuies family, the Sr. AL.
SAM'S, IIIATHCOTKII and DuFFS ; Lord and Lady
Bssiosavom,SirCummrs and LadtAsoim., &c.
The Duke ofblaircli shall remains here a few
days longer. His Grace is at Kidman's. •So are
Lord and Lady MONTFORD, who arrived early in
the week from France. Colonel and Mrs. Bean-
:maw are daily expelled.
The theatre was all commotion for tome time
laft night. It was Mr. Gaiwsa's (the Libiarian)
benefit ; and it was announced in the advertife-
ment that it Gentleman would recite Collins's
Ode on the Paffions ; but fcarcely had the Gentle-
Man made his appearance Ma the flare, when a
few Bloods, who had found their Way into the box
where the Duchefs of ST. ALDAN s and Lady
lizavecore fat, raifed Inch an uproar, that the
young Gentleman, whore figure and features were
extremely ioterefting, and who was proceeding in
fuck a manner as to afford the bell promife of
fuecefs, was fo confuted as to be unable to utter a
fentence. The audience applauded, but in vain.
The Woods perfevered in a tumult of boifterous
laughter and peals of 'huffing. A general indig.
nation prevailed through the audience—the Ladies
teemed extremely agitated. At length fame Gen-
tlemen interfered, and finding resnonarance inef-
feftual, told thefe agitating Gentlemen-they muft
be fluent. The tone of determination had the
defired effet. The difturbers, acing quite con-
fiftently with the charaaer of bloods, had no ob-
lation to annoy a woman, or to hits an aaor, but
were very much di finclined to engage in difputation
with men, particularly where there was any danger
of a fifticuff conclution. To avoid being drub-
bed, therefore, they became dumb ; 'and extending
themfelves on the feats, doted out the remainder
of theevening. As loon as they werequieted, the
young Gentleman who bad retired from the Rage
was called for by the audience, but he declined to
Appear. The audience became clamorous. But
upon one of the performers coming forward, and
Rating that the Gentleman was determined not to
come forward; they were appeared.
Two boys were about to fail this morning ; but
one of them being jealous of the fuperior number
of paffengers on board the other, refufed to go out
unlefs 'the freight was equally divided. To this
the parengers demurred. Accordingly both par-
des went on board one boy, which went out lite-
rally overflowing with paffengers, and the com
plums remained in the harbour.

MO/ITHLY AGRICULTURAL ItsroeT.—The fez.'
fon fcr reaping and harveffing the grain crops has
Rill continued unufually fine and favourable, fo
much to indeed, that even in the moil northern
difirias the harveß is in a confiderably mote ad.
vanced !late than is nfual at this period. We havg
likewife the moil pleating accounts of the good-
nets and the abundance of moft of,the grain.crops
in there places, fo that the huveß this year may
be Paid to have %pen generally favourableover the
whole kingdom. The barley drops in Hampthirei
and Wiltihire have been estimated at feven smar-
ten per acre. The prices of wheat 2nd barley
are on the decline, but that of oats more Itatinery.
The potatoetreps, where they have been taken up, tura
oat better In quality and more abundant than his beas.the cafe
for feverid"years pall
The loiag continued dry weather has been rather =favour.
able for the turnip crops, cfpecially en the very dry foils.

The pea and bean crop have not, in tome places, turned out
to good a (ample as was Impeded ott being thrailted oat.

The grafs lands in the more elevated fttuations have inn
greatly injured by the heat and drynefs of the feafon ; but in the
low and more moift places, they are in general very good ant
full for this Rate of the year.
Hops in general, we believe, a very indifferent crop.
Apples are thil years very partial crop.

In addition to the favonrablenefs of the kaki for the pimp,.
fes of liarveiting the corn crop, it hai afforded an excellent op-
portunity for preparing the knds intended for wheat, and in
many diffrids very extenfive tracks !lave been made ready; to
the molt poled manner, for the reception of feed.

In fome places it has been obferved that a new fpecies of bee•
tle has Ix= committing much mifehlef on theyoung plantations
of firs, by eating out the pith of the latter moots, leaving the •
tender branch a mere excavated tube, which lam afterwards is
leen to droop its head and die. It is faid to be of the frarab
beetle tribe.

Yeflerday John Vernon, alias Dawes, alias
Tawes, was finally examined before Jour.: SCOTT,
Efq. at the Public Office, Marlborough-ftreet,being
charged by feveral Ladiei of the Cyprian Corps
with robbing them of article to a great amount.
prifoner is a Creoki, and in his drefs
and appearance. exhibited a ph lure of the Bond-
ftreet lounger. It appeared that he was in the
priteice of attending the different places of public
amufement, and when the amufements were
finifhed, would generally accompany fome one of
the frail fifterhood home, where he would take the
opportunity of. pocketing whatever came in his
way, that was of theleaff value. One Lady Rated
that he had accompanied her home from the The-
atre, and in the morning made free with a pair of
dold ear-rings, and a gold pin. Another Lady
epofed, that the prifoner was at the Circus about
fix weeks fince, and having the manners and
appearance of a Gentleman, fhe took him home
to her lodgings in Goodgeareet. In the morning
he made a frivolous pretence for leaving her
for a few minutes, faying he had left all his cafh
at home, but would call again in an hour. The
fervant fapeeing fometbing amifs, had the pre-
caution to look in his hat, which lay in another
room, where the found concealed between the
crown and the lining her cnifirefs's ra cloak, eehich
he had taken out of the drawer. .She communi-
cated this to hei miftrefs, and he was flopped on
the [fairs, and the cloak taken from him. Another
Lady, who refided in Wells-ftreet, depofed as to
the erifoner robbing her of (even pair of filk
fiockings, which the miffed before he went, and
upon taxing him with. the theft, he pulled one
pair out of his bofom, and threw down, and the •
other fix pair were found under the fofa on which
he fat. He was apprehended by the vigilance and
adivity of 'Lovett, one of the Officers belonging
to that Office, who, on fearching his lodgings in
Bird-4m, Grofvenor.fquare, found upwards of
3o duplicates. Moft of the Pawnbrokers attend-
ed, and produced the articles, which they depofed
were pledged with them by the prifoner. Among
there articles was a confiderable number of opera-
glaffes, flats, flyer fpoons, &c. Several other
females attended, who recognized him under fimi-
lar circumftances, but declined to Hate what they
had loft.

The Magiftrate a(ked him what he had to fay in
his defence ? He declined raying any thing more
than that he had not Peen any of the Ladie, be fore.
He was then fully committed to take his trial on
the charge of (haling the gold ear-rings and pin.

tattle, sheep, and lambs, was much hirger than had
'item witneffeci at that place for a great number of
years pall, but the file was th extremely dull that
very few of either kind frond purchafers, though
the prices experienced a very cnnliderablc deprel
lion. A pen of lambs, for which the propriet“r
aired 235. brought him only 17s. per head. The
line weather 'meat-toned the attendance at this fair
to be until-tally numerous.

being at hand, he was got upon deck, though with-
out the fthallett appearance of life ; but medical
help being almoft immedlitely procured, fucceed-
Ed at left to Teilore animation, and happily reco-
vered him.

when the reckiming became payable, Petry de-
camped, leaving his friends to fettle the fcore.—
They immediately purling,' but did not overtake
him until he had taken refuge in his cattle, i. e. his
Mother's garret. There he armed hintfelf with a
hatchet, and a fhoemaker's knife, and fwore that
he would be the butcher of the firft that would
dare to enter his Cana-nary. He fulfilled this
dreadful threat, by plunging the knife into the

the two/ ehrt flair, with the intention of vifitit4

Sort of provifions, upon which the Matter applied
to the actin g Collator of the Cullom for liberty

purchafing provilions. 'The Collector contented,
but mentioned, at the fame time, that it was necef-
fary the matter fhould make oath that they were
short of provifions, and allow a Cullom-houfe
officer to attend the landing it. The tallow was
. accordingly landed, and put into the florehoufe of
