BREAD.--There was no Court of Aldermen held this day : the Loan MAYOR, after inspecting the retuins, ordered the price of bread to be reduced One Penny per Peck. There was an import into Liverpool last week of 22436 bushels of wheat, and 11,299 barrels of flour. T:.ere has been a remarkable good harvest this seafan in Portugal. Some thousands of the soldiers have teen employed in getting it in. The shipments of linen from Ireland to the Ame. ncan market, have for some weeks been unusually great.  - Three guineas per foot, have been asked by the Commissioners concerned in the new improvements at Westminster, for the vacant ground adjoining the , new Guildhall.  Tuesday last, Mr. John Symons, surgeon of the dinhurgh Militia, was served with an indictment to ?Ice nis trial before the High Court of Justiciary, for Lie murder of Mr. John Boyd, engraver, in a scuffle la the streets.  Many persons have been reduced from a state of 'dependence to absolute want, from the practice of entering into extensive and dangerous speculations, in which a fortune must often be risked in order to gain tae ; but a prudent man will never speculate beyond his means. The only way in which a speedy fortune °IaY be made by a very trifling risk is the Lottery, and that which draws in October Next presents a more favourable opportunity to Adventurers than any that ever preceded it. At the poney races at Eaton there was tolerable sport, but an unfortunate accident threw an universal gloom over the rustic mirth. A scaffold which had been erected by some unskilful person, for the purpose of seeing the races, gave way, with 200 people upon it, but luckily, unless from fear, and some slight bruises, no one received any material injury, with the exception of a poor boy, twelve years old, who had his leg broken. A subscription was immediately set on foot upon the race ground for him, and it met *ith general support.
