At Arundel corn-market, the prites were-t-Wheaf

Oats 21s. to 235. per quarter; Flour 16d. per gallon.
. 1. the above town the quartern loaf sells fur 1-od. .
coals, from 345. to 38s. per chaldron ; and hay, at
31. 10s. per ton.
A correspondent requests-us toliotice the fact, "of
!lour being kept up beyond what is justified by the
price of wheat."-{Brightna Herald, Sept. 29.)
N'eawirn, SM. 28.—We bad a full market on Sa-
turday, with a decline in price of both Wheat and
Marley, of about 2s. per coomb from that day week,
sad many samples remained: unsold. The show of
cattle was not large. and prices continue low. There
was a large supply of New Wheat at Lynn on Toes-
, day ; the greater part very damp and much grown,
which sold at a reduction of 8 or 10s. per quarter from
our prices of this day week. The fine samples of Malt-
log Earley Aiwa fetched 40s. per quarter. Nye sells

readily. In other Grain little ituitiese doing. - Flour
..contillues nearly the same. _ _ .

. EDINBURGH, San% 25.—There were bat few shear-
wrs at the West Port yesterday morning, and of these
. but a small number were hired, at is. a day. All the
fields in this district are cut down, and the grain for
the most part safely housed. We have had a heavy

shower of rain which lasted for about two hours this
snorking.

resur az.-.,-We know not to whom we are indebted
fur the subjoined communication, and therefore should
have refused it insertion. if it had not coincided with
the result of our personal enquiries, awl in some rnea-
•sure our actual observation

&EMMA) ER 21.-4 should be happy to announce
to the public, through the medium of your paper, that
the crop in this part of the country is now almost cut
down, and will, in the tcrurse of next week, be secured
from the depredations of an inclement sky. Daring
the autumn there has been very little rain to prevent
the reapers from being employed in the field. It has
ripe:led in general equally, and we bare the satisfac-
tion to think, that as far as this district extends, there
is a very fair averrg►e crop, equal in quality to any that
,s!e have bad for several years." .
IN7 ERN EESSIIIRE.—In this part of the country, the
crop was rather injured by the continued drouc•ht
which succeeded the late (rests, and which in many
varscs n•ithered without ripening the corn. The harvest
•esperations are now nearly completed, having received
.no interruption from the weather, which bas been obi-
.fortnly highly favourable.
Kltxet.r.s•, SEPT. 22.—We have now bad nearly a
fortnight of favourable Harvest Weather, without any
interruption worth noticing; and we have reason to
.think that the injney sustained by the cr iipsdoxing the
.late rains was not to near the extent which the ■nea-
.t;iress of the moment had induced us to believe. The
Wheat, we understand, has suffered most from stunt
•tut still there is no danger of a general or serious de-
ficiecey.—(Li inder Journal.)

Bennett's Bridge. Fair, on Wednesday, was well sup-
•piied with stock, but to our inquires the answer inva-
riably was, " a very had Fair." In some instances
'we know that sheep were sold for one third less, and
in others for one-half of what was paid for them some
time ago. The same depreciation marked every de•
suription of stock, but the sales were sot numerous...—
V/4d.)

(7 toLow, Seri% 24.—1 t is with great pleasure that
tie observe such a change in the weather as to warrant
an expectation that we shall have a reduction in the
, markets, from the very best rause, viz. a suffioiency
of good corn to insure a supply at a fair price.—(Ccre-
low Post.)

Coat:, SEPT. 22.—N0 other apprehension exists at
present in England or in this Country, relative to the
Harvest, than that the rapid advance in the price of
lirain, caused by the heavy rains, may, by posibility,
lead to the opening of the ports. It is not attempted
to he concealed that much and serious injury has been
dote to the quality of the Wheat Crop ; but interested
speculators alone endeavour to spread the delusion
that it will be a short one. There is no real ground
lot such a representation, and still less for the soppo•
sition,-that the harvest, generally, will prove a deft-
• - iient one. The weather in this part of the Country
• , • continuo remarkably fine, and little remains for the
husbandman to perform but to draw home his produce,
trod give it such treatment as will insure him the best
remunerating price.—(Reporter.)
GA MAT, SEPT. 22.—A1l our letters from the COUR-
try agree, that the late tine weather has done an infi-
nity of good, after all the schemes of the speculators
the prices will be down.—(Adverfirer.)
WATERFORD. SEPT. 26.—Wheat 255. to 285.; inferior
down to 20s, in a few instances for prime 295; sale
rather dull—some remained unsold; Barley 9s. to lls.;
Oats 9s. to 10s. 3d ; in a few instances, 10s. 6d; a very
large market of Wheat and Oates. Barley still continues
scarce ; iso material change in Flour or Oatmeal.
Coast, &PT. 211.-r-The cootinnation of most favour-
, able weather during the last week, with the exception of
a few hours on Thursday, afforded farmers every assist-
since, not only to attend to their crops in the field, bat to
nod daily to market very considerable supplies ; the
'receipts of Wheat and Oats were therefore unusually
• large so early in the season. On Saturday there were
no less than 1500 Bags of Wheat brought in, and we
have the pleasure to state, upon respectable authority,
• . .
that compared with the receipts of the preceding Satur-

THE ST.

BANK OF RIVGLAND. , • 'I
•
,0 •
A great reduction is about to take!place alrnMt ish•
mediately in the establishment of the Bank of Eng-
land. The number of clerks to he discharged is
stated at 125, of whom 40 are from the Hall side or
Cashier's office, and the remainder from the various
accountant-others for the different classifications of
stock, with the•one and two pound Bank-note Office.
In the latter. which employed between 200 and 300
clerks, the return to paytnents•in specie mum •have
led to the expectation of a very material reduction;
but'the number discharged under the innetint arrange-
ment is only twenty-four. ft was not at all known be-
fore Tuesday last, we believe, that the change was
contemplated by the Governors of the Burk, and the
measure, therefore, being one that involves the wel-
fare or subsistence of so many families, appears a lit-
tle abrupt. But in the mode of carrying it into effect,
the Bank havencted with a liberalitywhich merits raise.
All the clerks now dismissed will receive ao annuity
for life, in proportion to the amount of pay and length
of serviee, a selection being made, as far as the
interest` of the concern rendered it prudent to do
so, from those tvlio•are the
,sopneikt. iikely from long
servicei. to claim the right of superaneviatien. But
every clerk discharged will, we utideistaad, be allowed
the option, if he prefers it, of receiving a sum of
money equivalent to the value of his annuity. Thus
to those who are still young and have a talent for
business, an opportunity will be afforded, by a supply
of capital, of engaging in trades and of working out
their own independence. The number of clerks em-
ployed at the Bank is above 1000 ; the number dis-
charged, therefore, is about one-eighth part of the
whole. By the measure a saving will accrue to the
Bank when the respective annuities fall in. of about
20,0001. per annum. We understand that the cause as-
signed by the Directors for this step. in the notice to
those clerks whose services are to cease, is a general
falling off in the business of the establishment.

SIVEIIRINO TX OF THE NEW SHERIFFS.

Yesterday 'being the day appointed for this ceremony,
a large crowd had collected in the Hall for the purpose
of witnessing it. At a little before one o'clock the Lord
Mayor arrived in state, and held a Court of Aldermen.
At a quarter past one the Sheriff-elect, Aldermen Gar-
ratt and Venables, arrived in new and splendid carriages.
The carriage of Alderman Garratt was very elegant
without being gaudy. The colours are green and gold,
with the arms of the Goldsmiths' Coinpany, to which be
belongs, and the arms of his family emblazoned on the
panels and on the hammer-cloth. The horses were
decked out in green and orange ribands. The servants
wore splendid liveries of green and gold to correspond.
The 'carriage of Alderman Venables was of a sky blue
colour, with hammer-elesh, ke.. of skiver ; and the foot,

men in blue liveries wills silver lace,
The Sheriffs-elect, accompanied by the Lord Mayor,
Sheriffs Waldman and Williams, and the Court of Al-
dermen, entered the Hall, 'and ascended the platform.
The several Aldermen were received with marks of fa-
vour or disapprobation, according-to the opinion enter-
tained of them by the people assembled. The New She-
riffs were splendidly dressed in maroon coats, sur-
mounted by their state robes of Fearlet, and looked ex-
tremely well. They were sworn with all appropriate
solemnity by H. Woodthorpe, Esq. The last cere-
mony was to invest them wills the gold lulls of office,
when some surprise was occasioned at the vel varia-
tion from the old costumeof wearing gold chainswith the
plain link, instead of which the new Sheriffs were in-
vested with gold ornaments, consisting of throe coils of
gold rope or cord chain, but attached to a superh orna-
ment affixed to the breast of the' waistcoat. After time
usual salutations had been made, the Lord Mayor and
Court of Aldermen reti red.

The hew Sheriffs, after the usual salntationshad been
made them, proceeded to the Court of Comn►od Pleas, to
receive the custody of the persons i►► Nesigate and
IYhitecross•street.
Mr. Brown, the keeper of Newgate, in givir* in tl►e
list of the prisoners in his custody, observed, that he had
examined the prison accounts, and that there never had
been so small a number of prisoners transferred to the
Sheriffs on such an occasion, since the prison had been
built. He took the opportunity of congratulating the
Sheriffs on the circumstance.

Mr. Brown and Mr. Thackray then delivered up the
keys to the Sheriffs, who transferred them to the new
Sheriff,

Mr. Sheriff VENABLES. on receiving the key of New-
gate, addressed Mr. Brown, and said—Sir, although you
have an appointment as the keeper of Newgate, yet, as
his Majesty's officers, the custody of that prison is en-
tirely in us, and we appoint you the Governor for the
time being.
Mr. Brown received the hey, and bowed. Some other
formal business having been disposed of, the Sheriffs re-
tired to dinner.
Mr. Sudlow, of Monument-yard, was appointed
I:nderSberi6 to Alderman Garrett; Me. Stui late
Linder-Sheriff, was re.appointediaott. co Al-
derman Mineable.. ay.

Stave TRADE.—The Portuguese brigantine Con-

tuguese Crowns, and the slaves on boarti her were
emancipated: - •
DEII:141111. OCCU RIR EN CF..— In farthei aecomplation
of the horrors incident to the Slave Trade, we have to

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The last bargain done yesterday afternoon at past

Paris papers of Tuesday arrived late last night, and
those of Wednesday this morning. They contain an
article from Vienna of the 1•1 th of September, which
announces an occurrence that had taken place in the
environs of Marienbrunn, not far from Vienna, which,
from the tranquillity to which they had been long as-
customed, had occasioned much sensation in the ca-
pital, as well as on the spot.—A numerous assemblage,
it appears, of hasbandmen and other individuals had
met at the house of a peasant who retailed wine, and
being heated with liquor, some of the topers
bad begun to commit depredations in au adjacent
vineyard. The proprietor had advised them in
rather harsh terms to withdraw ; but far from
obeying, the marauders beat him with their
sticks. The noise this transaction occasioned en-
creased the crowd ; some took part with the master
of the vineyard, and others against him, and the pea-
sants who had collected together also engaged in the
affair. The vineyard was totally destroyed, and the
two parties entered into furious battle. Many persona
were wounded, and two were killed. Advice was sent to
the Judge of the district, who sent for aid to Vienna. In
the interval the rage of the combatants was raised
to the highest degree. Detachments of soldiers.',
among whom were mounted gendarme:, arrived, bat
the rioters received them with insults and a shower of
stones. The armed force. however, succeeded at length
in restoring tranquillity; many individuals were
seised, and the rest dispersed. The numbers killed are
stated variously. from five to fourteen. Several of the

soldiers were severely westadedo,—Coausertial letters

A disturbance has occurred at Curacoa, the miliiit
having refused to obey an order of the Governor to
parade in the Fort, and insisted on doing duty in the
public parade ground, which was granted them. A
considerable excitement exists among the people ander
an idea that the Governor was going to abridge the
rights of the people. On the 2d inst. there was en
assemblage of about 700, who, in the course of the
evening insulted the Governor. On the 3d, the Oa
rernor called another meeting, and endea►oured to
pacify the people by assuring them that he had done
nothing but what necet•aity and his duty imposed upon
him. Thus affairs remain at our last dates.

EXTRACT FROM SIR GEORGE COLLIERS REPORT ON TIN

SLAVE TRADE.
(Concluded from our last.)
HI saw, at Havannah, in July last, no fewer than 41
vessels fitting out for the slave trade, protected equally
by the Flags and Papers of Spain. France Ins cer-
tainly issued her decrees against this tratic, but she
has done nothing to enforce them : on the contrary,
she gives to the trade all countenance short of public
avowal. Piracy upon the coast of Africa is encreas
ing, fur a vessel so engaged has only to show theft
of France, and search by a British officer incsn a pe-
r natty. On this distressing subject, so revoltieg is
every well•regulated mind,• I will add, that such led*
nsercileas treatment of slaves, by the persons enpri
in the traffic, that no fancy can picture the WV
of the voyage ; crowded togethir so as not to Itive
the power to move, linked one to the other by the kg,
never unfettered while life remains, or till the iron
shall have fretted the flesh almost to the bone ;
fined under a deck, as I have seen them, not thirty 11r
ches in height; breathing an atmosphere the mars
trill, with little food and fess water ; subject all to the
most severe punishment at the caprice and fancy et
the brute who may cornroan ! the vessel. It is to me s
matter of extreme wonder that any of these miserable
people live the voyage through ; many of them indent
perish eat the passage, and those who remain to meet
the shore present a picture of wretchedness language
cannot express."
