MOB In RICHMOND.

On the night of the 10th inst, tho capitol of our
State-and with ii, the State itself-came near be-
ing disgraced by a mob, which felt authorized from
some cause unknown, TO attempt the breaking up
Of the gambling Establishments and the punishment
Of the gamblers of that city. The intention of the
mob was fortunately frustrated through the instru-
mentality Of two citizens, who caused the bells to
be rung, and the alarm OF FIRE to be sounded, which
so confused and disconnected the crowd, that they
dispersed without disturbing the reposc of the in
tended victims Of their violcnce.
Regular gamblers are unpopular in all commu-
mites. The mob no doubt was acquainted with
this fact: and hence its disposition to supersede
the operation of tho law, was stimulated by the
probability Of its conduct meeting with the APP
probation of the public. But if the good people Of
Richmond feel ngrieved at the doinss of the gam.
blcrs, and their town disgraced by their presence,
they should pursue another course to clense it OF
the prcfessiopal gentlemen. To eradicate the evil
they must remove the cause and this, we imagine,
can be done without the exercise OF Lynch's law.
Let all who frequent the gambling houses stay at
home, and in a short time not one will exist. If,
however, one portion of the community riH resort
TO them, we conceive it to be altogether useless for
another portion to pretend to put them down by
the exercise Of mob law. Proteus-like they will as
sumo a thousand shapes, before they will cease to

THE ENGLISH HARVEST.

As & full or a short harvest in Great Britain is
likely to have 40 sensible an effect upon the exchan-
ges and the money market of the world, the specu-
laiions ofjudicious and obseryaat minds on this sub
iect. become important. In that view If the mat
tor the following remarks Of The Philadelphia u. S.
Gazette Of yesterday, are worthy Of attention THAT
paper says:~-" We are among those who believe
that there will nor be a failure in the crops of Great
Britain. We have every year, about this time,
seen announced the same apprehensions that are
now expressed, and in but one instance in many
years b ge they been what those fears bciokened.
Strained TO tho last point Of calculation, as every
thing in Great Britain has become, it iF not strange
that a storm OF any continuance should be regarded
with fearful spprehensions offs consequences; and
il is the part Of prudence, foreseeing the evil, TO
turn aside and prepare a preventive. This, pet
hsps, is best dcne BY sounding an alarm, and cali
ing for the state Of produce in grain growing coun-
tries. Last year, when there was q failure Of the
crop, 10 Great Britain, there was also q failure in
the United States, and when we looked to supply
with food those who furnished our clothing, our own
granaries were too lightly stored to compete with
those &C the continent Of Europe. But, admitting
that there should be a large deficiency in the Bri-
tish, and even in the French crop this season, which,
Of course, we do not think more than probable, we
believe that the large supply Of the U. States will
enable our merchants TO meet a portion of the Bri-
tlsU WINS, m u why WHICH, ~ NV productive u
large individual profits. will supply many Of the
wants Of the British population-ensble US to meet
The demands Of British merchants, and enable the
British manufacturers 20 keep their hands more
regularly employed than they otherwise would; and
thss to create a demand for another great product
Of our country"
An important fact connected with these harvest
statistics, in their present aspect, is also noted by
the Philadelphia paper. II is this, that the failure
ct 49,. - =. III
ton, a thing 10 be proved, but which may not, and
probably will not happen; while the abundance Of
the harvest in the United States is an established
fact. Gone is yet TO be made; the other is gather
ed from the teeming fields, and stacked up Leyond
the capacities Of the most enlarged gamers. Ii
there should be an average crop Of corn in Great
Britain, the evils which hive been dreaded could
not come. If Tint crop should fail, the abundance
ofthe American crop would, in a considerable de-
gree, prevent the unprecedented evil" So that in
any event. there is cause for hope in the actual pos
ture Of affairs on this side the Atlantic.

Since tho publication of he advertise ment OF the

way, we recommend to the notice of Lottery adj
venturers-we have received several numbers Of
Sylrester's New Reporter, n paper that we con-
ccive to be especially suited to the wants Of The bu-
siness and commercial community. We have, there
fore, transferred to our columns, the prospectus of
the New Reporter. Our merchants and mechan.
les will find the Reporter, in their monetary con-
Germs, a useful reference.
APRoPos.-We this week also insert the PROS
Pectus of our old acquaintance, The Nsc Yorker.
The public may be assured thut this is one of the
best family newspapers in the land. The large
sheets of the day, calling themselves " family new
papers," we too often see filed with all manner Of
stuff, served up without taste, or whole columns Of
conundrums, pun,, &C., alike devoid Of sense or
wit. The New Yorker is conducted differently: -
the selections are excellent, the editorial chaste and
proper, and as h record of passing events it is little
inferior to Niles Register.
