A BARBER BeRSEDtV kFPNY.

MONTHLY REPORT FOR AUGUST.
From the unsettled weather, a considerable part of the
harvest, in most district., remains abroad. The com-
plaints of mildewed Wheat are so general, that fine
samples are expected to be seater. The Oats and Barleys
arr large crops, but are much laid and injnred by the
heavy rains. Beaus and Peas may ke reckoned a fair
tverage crop. Potatoes will yield a great proilace.
The latter sown Turnius, that were set out out in due
time, promise well. The feeding countries base plenty
of latter-math grass. Cluvera set apart for seed are in
general too strong and irregular in their bloom, to prove.
very productive. The flop Plantations have antlered
much by the high winds; the expected produce is half
an average crop. The Wool market is somewhat brisker
for oil kinds at a small advance in prices. The early

Sheep are in request and dearer. Cow-trine also fetch
usure money. (food cart-hones and honey Colts meet
with ready plarliasers. Smithfield has had ♦ good stip-
ie of Berl, Mutton. and Lamb at somewhat lower terms.
Peal
and Pig-pork maintain last month's prices.

A intlicront %erne occurred a' Ihingdon on Thurs-
day evening, respecting the Queen. It appears that
as early in the evening as seen o'clock, the principal
houses In the streets were closed, both shops and pri-
vate houses; ever one looking occasionally for some-
thing to pass by. The streets were in one con-
tinual ni ition, and the people talking on their
favourite topic—the Queen. It appears that the Poli-
iiral Balker of the town had nseel very harsh word;
in the heat of debate in public company, and, as they
said, thrown thul aspersions on the character of Itkt
Majesty. The mobility hearing of this became very
indignant, and made a collection of pence to burn the
efligv of the barber in the most public mann .r.—Tbo
procession now arrived, attended by hundreds of
people, shouting " God save the Queen !" " Lung
lire the Queen !" " Queen Caroline for ever!" tire.
The effigy, a fair likeness, was drawn in a waggon
by two horses. It was seated on a tar-barrel, sup-
ported on each side by two men in surplices and
masks, one of them having a Iwo!: in Ilk hand, and
behind him stood a sw ep, representing one of the
in.ps of Satan, with tar-barrels, faggots, &c. in the
rear. The whole was surronntled by turn with pollens
sivotils, and staves, to keep off the i opulace, and
give it the effect of a pru,.ession of a criniination to the
place of his execution. The pre,c,:ssion passed slowly
down Ork-street, preceded by drums and fifes, playing
the " Dead March," stopping occasionally to allow
the attendant on the offender to exhort hint to repen-
tance. The man had certainly gut his lesson well, 1
for he repeated Isis exhortation in the most impres-
sive manner, and in such a', audible voice, as to
lie heard throng's the whole re .wel. When it had
proceeded to the extrem:ty of Orli-street, it returned
and passed by the market-place. to pay a visit to Sir
C. Wulseley, who was s•andiug tinder the front of the
gaol, viewing the'sceue. The nitanst good humour
still prevailed, and all seemed to participate in the
mirth which it excited. The Foression nate moved
