This place is very respeCtably patronized, theintfh
the weather has been so.ntilainurable. ihe Dnke
and Duchess of Sr. ALBAN% and Lord and Lady.
CHURCHILL, are at the Soya. Hotel. Lady Dun.
LEY and WARD sports a splendid equipage, daily
pacing the Sands in leer cirriage with six (Itic black
horses and outriders. The Duchess of RU LAND has
an elegant vehicle, with four fine greys: 1.-nd and
Lady DV= ate. at Summer Lodge. The manlier, as
well al grandeur of the carriages which are to be
seen in .the drives, indicate the consequence and
fashion of the Visitants. There are many lir:uses,
however, Wet ; and tle same proof of the ereat ant:
grations which have taken place exists at Brighton.
Some sucked w.ig:, a few nights ago, tore from se-
veral doors the knockers, tied them together. And
sent them to Mr. WEISS, a, respectable Gentleman
here ; and since this event, he has received several
violent and. threatening letters, about which Meetings
have been held of the principal Inhabitants, in hopes
of tracing the authors.
An itinerant auctioned' has been sojourning a wtaia
hero, and eased some of the bathers of their lone
cash. He exhibited earious articles, which in their
turn attracted the Bank-notes of the Peer, and the
copper of the stable boy. Sheffield and other plate
writing-desks, dressing•cases. and trinkets—Woollen
and other manufactures, for dress, &c. were put 'fp
to his hammer. This system of supply;tht goods,
though it may have its adivantages, certainly clestr..ys
the reasonable expectations of the resident shopkeeptr,
who, as he beers in taxes, rates, &c. a portion of the
public butthens, should be properly encouraged.

A Gentleman who has jest returned frotri a three
weeks' tour through liants, Sussex. and Surrey, and
who passed over the suite districts last year during
the harvest, assures us that he inspected the crisps in
both seasons very minutely, and that the advautagle
is very considerably in favoar of the present sea.mis
notwithstanding its general' y stlppased adverse effects.
lie obscures that Use !reads ot.W.heass this year ate
,I.genesal longer, that there are more plump grains
in each head as well as more inferior ones, and that
there is much less rust on the straw this year 'lranian.
As to the quantity of straw throughout the above
counties. it may be fairly estimated at one-hall more,
and in many cases double the quantity of the pre+.
ceding crop. Latterly some very heavy crops of Her
have been cut and well preserved, so that even in girl!
article there is quite as much good hay in 1816 as
in 1M15; besides that which is damaged or con.
vetted into manure. In some places the (tamers '
have neglected to clean their grounds, from spleen at
the bad times, a proceeding which they now most
sincerely regret.
At and round Belfast the weather has become fine,

and the crop is abundant.
Wednesday field of barley was cut down, com-
pletely ripe. in the neighbourhood of Queetniferry,
near Edinburgh. Sown Ist of April.
Nearly a fortnight a3o, a fine field of barley was
cut upon the estate of Melville, and sold in Cuoar
market at 255. per boll; the crops of every kind.
(pease and beans excepted) promise an abundant
harvest.

Barley harvest commenced at Fochabers,.on htin-
day, the 26th ult. on a field of five acres, belonging
to Mr. Bute—a very superior weighty crop.
A letter from Greenock, dated 30th ultimo. says,
64 The very flattering anticipations which reach us
from almost every quarter of the kingdom regarding
the ensuing harvest, will, we trust, be amplyrealized.
likahis quarter every thing looki thriving and vigo-
rous ; on the most barren soils, and where, in oidi.
nary seasons, the scanty product so poorly repays the
labour of the husbandsman, the finest crops are now
advancing towards maturity. There are a number of
hitherto sterile tracks on the other side of the river,
which, we are informed, will this season yield al vino
dant crops; and from personal observation we can
state, that on the eastern bank of Loch Long. malty
patches of corn and other graiit are now to be been,
not inferior in •appearance to the growth upon the
fertile lands of Renfrewshire,"
Saturday se'nnight there was the greatest take of
herrings off Campbleton ever remembered. Almost
every boat went to the quay nearly as full as they
could swim.
The herring fishery itt Wick, and along the coast
of Clyth and Latheron, have been very abundaut
this season, so much so, that some days it was corn-
puted that about 1,000 bindle of fish were delivered
at Wick and Pultney Town, which, at the prices
paid to the fishers for the crane, would amount Iv
£5OO, a crane being little maw than a barrel of cited
fish• The quantities of fish have been so great that
the curers are now buying the crane for 6s. and same
as low as Ss.
For some time past the Scottish bonnet), boand
round the bottom with velvet, with a piece of ribbon
behind, has been introduced Into Glasgow as a head.
dress for beys ; and a disposition has been shown by
some men also to adopt it.
On the night of Tuesday se'nnight, Walter Brydon,
drover, from Goose Green. in the parish of Enrich,
when on his way from the cattle tryst at Feeblest to
Domingo:in, was knocked from his horse, severely
beaten on the head, and robbed of his pocket-book.
