Friday, Sept. 26.—The arrivals of grain in general this week are tolerably good, and of Oats the quantity is large. Prime dry samples of Wheat find a more ready sale, but there is no improvement in the prices. Barley is rather cheaper. Grey Peas are further declined 2s, per quarter. Oats find scarcely any buyers, and this article is rather cheaper.

Ar a Sheriff's Dinner in the City, these two heroes were on the boards. The silliness and impudence that Mr. Canning showed occasion could be upon this equalled only by his meanness; but this now seems, with him and some of his colleagues, to be the "order of the day.' In my next, Monday, Sept. 29. There was a I shall endeavour to do something tolerably good supply of grain in Jike justice to the braggings, the general last week, and of Oats the shameless braggings of the pre-quantities were large. This mornsent Lord Mayor and Mr. Canning.

ing there are moderate quantities of Wheat and Beans from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, but large fresh arrivals of Barley, Grey Peas, and Oats. The new parcels of Wheat come for the most part cold in hand, that our millers purchased dry samples of both old and new more freely, and an advance was obtained on such of 1s. to 2s. per qr., but the damp qualities sell very badly.

Barley is abundant, and 2s. per quarter cheaper. Grey Peas are also very plentiful, and have suffered a further decline of 2s. to 3s. per quarter. Beans sell heavily, and are rather cheaper. There are so few boiling Peas that will break well, that this article obtains rather higher prices; but White Peas that will not break are cheaper. Oats are far too plentiful for the present demand, and although the factors are not disposed to submit to less prices for old samples, yet new are reduced full' 1s. per quarter.

BUTTER.

The present stock of Butter would leave a loss to the holders, if sold at the present prices; they are therefore induced to look to the old remedy-a speculation.

Maidstone, Sept. 25.-Our Hop picking will generally finish this week, as the grounds are cleared so much sooner than expected; every body appears to have overrated their growth, which falls very short of what they were laid at. We have not heard of any sales yet. The Duty called about 20,000l.
