THE WHALE Fisusev.—The Bon Accord, which

accounts of the state of the whale fishery on the coast •
of Greenland, which are quite as unfavourable as those
before received. The master reports, that only the
vessels which got through Davis's Straits with him,
which were the Don, Cambrian, and some others from
Dundee, were at all successful. The Bon Accord
wanted but one fish to make a full ship, when 27 sail
arrived at the sp.,t where she was fishing, and although
she laboured with great perseverance for three weeks,
could not slice* ed. The Ython, which arrived at Aber-
deen with the lion Accord, is one of the ten ye-
sels reported to have been lost, to wliich we alluded in
our paper of Sa!nrday ; bet we regret to state, that she
confirms the lossuf the other nine.

RARrEST.-MARKETS.

A correspondent states-Much has been said in t
different newspapers respecting the corn-harvest, but
nothing concerning the crop of potatoes, which in the
Weald of Sussex, is very abundant; for it must be ob-
served that as wet summer is greatly in favour of
Me growth of potatoes, and such has been the case
this year; therefore, the deficiency in corn will, in
.some measure, be made up in potatoes, which can be,
used as a substitute-a very important consideration
to the lower classes. This summer as likewise been
very favourable to the growth of turnips. There
appears to be a pause In the corn market, which we
trust, will prove in favour of the consumer. Some
bakers have lowered the price of the quartern loaf to
ten-pence.--r-(Brighton Herald.)
The prices of grain, at Lewes market, on Tuesday
last :-Mixed wheat, V. Ss.; red ditto, 31. 2s. to 31. 81.
At Arundel corn-market, the prices werer-Wheat
131. to 181. per load; Barley, 30s. to 335. per quarter;
Oats, 21s. to 245. per quarter; Flour, 16d. per gal-
lon ; quartern loaf sells for 94d.; Coals from 365. to
40s. per chaldron ; and hay, at 31. per too.
There is at this time 60 wheat ricks of this year's
growth in the small island of Selsey, near Chichester ;
a much greater crop than was ever remembered, and
all got up in fair condition.-(Hompshi re Telegraph.)
Max, OCT. 4.-We had a large market on Tues-
day, and a good supply of both Wheat and Barley ;
but very little business done, and each Article met a
redurtion of 2 to 3s. per quarter from last week's prices.
Very little alteration in other articles, except flour,
which is lower 6s. per sack.
Yattatotttn, 4.-Our market this week has
been well supplied with Wheat, the new coming damp
and grown, are with difficulty got rid of at a decline of
24. to 44.-Old fully support their prices at.d are wanted.
The harvest may now be considered as concluded in
this neighbourhood. There is no deficiency in quail-
ti?y, but in the quality of the wheat and Barli,
(especially the latter) is we regret to say, generally in-
different, and in many instances very bad.-(ll'orees-
ter Joaraal.)
At Newcastle market, on Saturday se'nnight, there
was a good supply of country wheat, and the whole was
taken off at a trifling advance on the prices of that day
se'nnight. The Rye trade was very dull. Little
tloing in Barley, Malt, Beans or Pease. Oats Is. to
24. per quarter higher.
During Saturday, Sunday. and yesterday forenoon,
the weather was exceedingly stormy, accompanied
by heavy showers. Since yesterday afternoon
it has become more clear and dry, with a strong
breeze front W. N. W. The farmers are in consequence
very busy, and a great many fields of outstanding
grain have been carried and safely housed this fore-
noon. A few good days would complete the harvest
in this part of Scotland.-Glaftgorr courier.
Mawr, Oc r. 4.-Our Market was largely sup-
plied with (train yesterday, for which there was a very
poor demand, and a good deal remained unsold. The
prices were nearly the same as on Friday, with the ex-
ception of new Wheat, which was is. 611. to 2*. per
barrel lower. No alteration in Flour-sale very heavy.
THE llanresv.-Since we last noticed the state of
tl“' harvest in this County, the weather has been with,
little exception, in favour of the farmer. Those feel-
-:.79 of despondency to which appearances at that time
were so calculated to give rise, have been almost
e trolly removed. Although the rains have done con-
sider Ode injury to the crops in general, yet the pro-
duce is every where abundant, and we believe, when
cwitared with those of other seasons of late, fully
etrivalent to any loss the present has sustained. The
favourable state of the weather has already had a very
s!rikiltg effect on the prices in our Corn Market. On
Satorday Prime Wheat, which, the previous week,
sold from 28s. to 30s. per barrel, was reduced to 225.
vd. per barrel, (the highest price that could be °b-
id:m-410 and some 01.4 brought only 18s. Other de-
s •r:ptions of grain were proportionably reduced.-
( 'e tford Herald).
Aeconnts from Ilatnlotrgh state, that the harvest
had proved bad in the northern provinces of Sweden,
and that in the Russian liovetnment of Pskow the
rr .its had been much damaged by continued rains and
floods. The rise of the prices of grain in this country
bad caused much activity in the corn trade at Copen•

ha Ten.
The price of corn, during the first seven weeks of die
fol.. quarters of the year, beginning the 15th of No-
veriber, 15th of February, 15th of May, and kith of
A ~.rnst, has no operation tisatever upon the average
tvl•ich is to open the ports; and it is only during the
I,st six weeks of those 'porters that the average is of
i”portance. If this circumstance were universally
known and acted upon h farmers throughout the
united kingdom, and if they, in consequence, sold their
interior and lower priced grain during the six weeks
preceding the 15th of November. 15th of t•'ebruary,
lAt of May, and 15th of August. and their finer and
lYigher priced grain for the seven weeks succeeding
those periods, the probability of the opening of the
ports to foreign grain would be 'lone away, and thus a
great aggravation of the agricultural distress be pie-
vented.
