. . .

Our arrivals within the past week have been very numerous,
and the town is new as full as it is ever remembered to have been ;
scarcely an hn:rl or boarding-house but has been obliged to engage
ee pattments for the accommodation of its visiters. The Mont-
pellier rooms and walks are every morning crowded from eight to
ten o'clock, as well as on the evenings of the Musical Promenades.
The chillness of the night air, however, obliges the principal part
of the evening promenaders to leave the walks for the more shel-
tered interior, and the band now regularly goes within about
eight o'clock.

The neat and clean appearappearance of the Admiralty puts
' to the blush the other buildings in Parliament-street. The Barrack
Office opposite the Admiralty, is under repair.
The total amcnnt of Stock now standing in the named
of the Commiarioners for the Redemption of the National Debt,
on behalf of Savings' Banks, is X 7,1153,359 Three per Cents. and
.G6,905,2t19 Three and a Half per Cents.
We understand that upwards of a quarter of a Mil-.
lion of money has been remitted to London frogs the Liverpool
Custom-house during the last fortnight, the principal part of which
money has been received for duties on foreign oorn.
rn the Corn Market, late yesterday afternorm, some
large sales of new wheat were made, on terms below
the current prices in the morning. From the number
of those who appeared anxious to get rid of old
wheat, a confident expectation is felt that on Friday
the markets generally will fall. It is a matter of great
surpri•e that the prices of grain should have been
maintained with such an extraordinary degree of firm.
ness during the last two months, recollecting the im-
mense importations of all descriptions that have taken
place. Within the period just mentioned, not less than
390,000 quarters of oats have been entered, which have
all been delivered for home consumption, excepting
about 10,000 quarters. The entries of barley within
the same period have been 44,000 quarters, and not
less than 92,000 quarters for consumption, leaving a
stock of about 35,000 quarters. The stock of beans
on hand has been reduced from 29,881 quarters to
2,496 quarters, the importations having been only
7,236 quarters, and the stock on the Ist July, 29,881
quarters. Of wheat, the stock on the Ist July, con-
sisted of 260.887 quarters, the imparts since about
60,000 quarters, delivered for home consumption about
160,000, leaving a stock on hand of about 160 000
quarters, at the end of last month. The stocks of all
species of grain, excepting rye, were not above one-third
s 9 great on the lit instant, as on the Ist July; and but
far the abundance of our own harvest, the prices would
certainly have risen considerably above what they ate
at present. •

An itinerant Friar, while preashinc: In a chapel in
which stood a wooden image of the Virgin Mary, ob-
served that all his audience, with the exception of one
man, were in tears —" Hardened wretch," he cried unto
the tearless auditor, n How can you refrain from tears,
when even the Virgin herself (pointing to the statue)
is weeping ?" " I do not think, father," replied the man.
4, the wooden Virgin can weep or cry at all; for, being
a carpenter, I was yesterday employed to mend a ivib
of her, which had been broken, and, on that acts ion,
drove three large iron nails into her body ; and, if sh
could have wept on any occasion, I think she would
have done so then,"

Harvest labour proceed's a-pace, and in a considerable
circuit around this town may be said to be nearly. half
completed. Graceful cones of grain and suer are
rising rapidly in every barn•yard ; and the aching
arms of both tinkers and builders prove, if we my
eyed t their own report, that a single sheaf is as hefty
as a whole stook was last year. New meal is already
becoming pretty comm. n, and has be n sold in quo
titres of a few stones, at the rate of 2s. the r.ew, or 25.61
the old stone. The millers speak very fAvouralaly rink
oats, both as to qun►tity and quality; and our tour,
this year runs no risk of forfeiting its distinctive mei.
lation--whether it be the " land of cakes,* or " the had
of bannocks and barley meal." The weather at presest
has every appearance of having set in warm and dry,
and should the skies remain unclouded until near therm
of the present month, harvest home will be celebrated
with more than ordinary enthusiasm in every parish and
village, hamlet and house, in broad Scotland. The crew
t her, as we have said, is surpassingly beautiful, and if we
may judge from those who return from the country, the
air of autumn 1827, is renovating to the constitutions
of invalids., But much depends on the state of the feel.
ings, and that man must be dull indeed who does not
feel the most pleasurable emotions in contemplating the
general aspect of nature at this most interesting lease
of the year. Above the sky is beautifully cerulean-
below, the earth as beautifully green, excepting when
intersected by inclosure on inclosure, where the ploup
has given employment to the sickle, and the reape
bends where the seedsman walked erect before. 'fle
tine are rejoicing in the wealth of their meadows; the
socks, in the ver dare of every hill side ; and the trees
while they have lost little of their summer fresboe
still bend their branches over streams as pure and ha,
pid as they were in May. The garden and orchards ad
loaded with fruit, beautiful to the eye and gratefalta
the taste ; and altogether, we do not wonder that ow
towns are depopulated, and every watering•place aid
other retreat filled to overflowing with groups ef
tors, whether in search of health or amusement.

There is now in Paris, a female, named Eiiattli
Monies coalman, a native of Savoy, who was born as duel
December, 1714; and who is, in all probability, the Friedel
