LIVERPOOL RIOTERS.  Wm. Carter and Edmond Riley, found guilty of rioting at Liverpool. The Learned Judge said, that the riots the Prisoners had been concerned in were of the most serious and dangerous description, by pulling down houses of a very useful nature for per-sops employed iu theinvress service—in faCt they were absolutely, necessary. The Prisoners were connected with the sea service, and were in no danger of being pressed ;' so that their outrageous conduct was only wantonness. It was fortunate for them they,had not been indiCted capitally for demolishing houses.. The Judge wished it to be publicly known, that all who were found in such unlawful assemblies were liable for the consequences ; and if murder had been committed, they would have been answerable. The Prisoners. and all the assembly had been repeatedly admonished to disperse ; but Carter attacker! the Police Otlicers ; and Riley was the most active in destroying and pulling down the houses.- Such condad could not be passed over with impunity. He concluded with observing, that he was sorry to pass, sentence'on young men who might be useful to their families. They were sentenced to twelve months imprisonment. . .  Cornelius Cannen and Anionic Silveredge, convieted of a similar utFenc  His Lordship said, that the conduel- of Cannon was, that be threw a stone, and assisted. in demoli,hing a house, and .by him the life and person of the Chief Magistrate were in danger, who had conduaed himself with so much courage, yet with moderation, throughout the whole dangerous riots.— He could not distinguish between his case and the  , . ... Pr'soner Silveredge's; ?Ink itithimgh lite was i 10relner, yet, come from What country he would, he. must know be.was doing wronf,.—His:Lordship Sentenced them each to ten montht imprisonment.  HOPS, CORN, &c.  C-NTERBURY,Pr. Is.  Ho!s.---The. picking in the vicini,y of this city commented on Thursday last, and more generally yesterday. It is taiely possible at present to form a judgment of the crop ; but on a rough estimation it would seem the produce- would be greater than at tirst expe6ted ; the quality is good, arid' many bright samples will p:obably be produced. Our accounts from the.Wealds of Kent and-Susseic state the crops in those parts as the best in the kingtlgun ; in general the observation is, that those li.ounds wbicJi Were strong in bine when the vermin attacked them; have suffered least, and are in cousquence much itnproved.__  The Harvest in this country, with the exceptiorY of the crops on the hills, being now concluded, the following may be considered as an impartial estiriLite of-the produce :  Wheat on the strong lands short in quantity, but good_in quality. Oh the-light and-cold lands a fair crop as to produce on those lands, bUt much irite....'ted with the collar or smut, and of course cannot make a_ good sample. .Some strong land*, which last year produced tour quarters an acre, do not this year average more than three ; but -with resped to weight, the quality is considered bet!er than that of last year. On the whole, from the various,accounts, the produce may be estimated at about ono-eighth short of what what is termed an average crop, taking the 'medium of an average crop at three quarters an acre. It, however, the quality of the clevel is generally stiperi°.r, the deficiency of the quantity may prcitrably be obviated, so as to raise the produce of nutriment equ'll to that -of last year. Many sampleS of new Wheat were offered at our Market on Sa;urday, among which was one of B°. quarters. In general they were cold, and apPeared to have been got up too early,prime sample. brought from 105 S. to- I OSs. per quarter. Barley, which next to Wheat, is a staple prodtla', of this county, has afforded a fair crop, butn.as to" quality, and produce ; it is, however,, tery 'partial' in places, and has disappointed the expectations 4, many farmers, who expected, from. its appearance on the ground, a larger quantity; the same observations apply.to Oats, but, so feW are grown in Kent, that no just estimation can be formed Of the .crop comparatively' with the rest of the kinOom. Canary, a species of seed or grain p,:culiar to the' local distriCts of East Kent, is in a measure short irt: the-same proportion as the Wheat grown on strong lands, a soil -which is absolutely necessary for cultivation.  Pease are admitted a good crop; and Beans, in every distria,.are universally acknowledged by thc oldest fanners to be the best podded with the longeit stalk they have ever witnessed'; and with respect to this species of pulse, the crop may be considered as abundantly great.
