N.B.-The Observations are made twice every day, namely, at eight o'clock in the morning, and eight o'clock in the evening. The morning observations in the first column are made on the Register Ther mometer. HARVEST has already partially commenced, and the papers from every part of the kingdom hold out the prospect of an abundant crop of all kinds of grain. Hay has proved much better than was expected, and has generally been got up in good order. The uncommonly fine weather is hastening the maturity of the crops, and in many districts the harvest will be general in a fortnight. It may be mentioned as rather an uncommon circumstance, that four bolls of new oats were presented in Haddington market last week. In England, hay has turned out a heavy crop, and has been generally secured in excellent condition. Much wheat has already been cut; barley and oats are a good crop and the appearance of the turnip fields is promising. The prices both of grain and cattle are declining.—Aug. 12. On the 16th of July, the Prunella grandiflora and the Solidago virga aurea began to blow in the flower border. The Alisma plantago came in flower in the pond on the 17th, and the great water dock (Rumex hydro-lapathum) on the 21st; the white water lily and the Sparganium ramosum on the 25th. In the flower border, the common white lily and the Achillea macrophylla came in flower on the 27th. The Sedum Anglicum, a succulent plant, opened its flowers on the 28th; and the Monarda fistulosa on the 31st. In the moors the common heath, (Erica vulgaris,) and in the garden the Aster cordifolia and Veronica hybrida, were in flower by the 3d of August; the Melissa officinalis (common balm) by the 5th; the Typha angustifolia, an elegant water plant, by the 9th; and the Parnassia palustris, (grass of Parnassus,) a plant which was re marked by the ancients to come in flower about the beginning of barley harvest, began to blow on the 11th.Mean temperature of water in the pond 57°.

The market, during the last month, has been abundantly supplied with sugars of every description, and the demand has continued limited. At the India house, on Friday last, 7000 bags Bengals went off full 2s. lower than the last sale. The stock of B. P. sugar is now 3250 casks more than last year's at this time; present prices 13s. per cwt. lower per Gazette average. Cotton.-The de mand for cotton has been brisk and extensive, both in London and at the outports. The sales have been very extensive, both in Glasgow and Liverpool, and, it is pleasant to observe, almost entirely for home consumption. The sales of cotton yarn have also been great. Importation of cotton in 1819, 55,865 bales Bengal, 24,325 Surat, 3058 Madras, 348 Bourbon, 6311 Brazil, 1858 American, 2906 West India Islands, and 98 Smyrna. Coffee.-Several large public sales of coffee have been brought forward, which have gone off with spirit, and a considerable advance has been generally paid. The stock of W. I. coffee is now 5950 tons, being 1150 more than at this time last year; present prices 40s. per cwt. lower. Rums have experienced some demand; but, owing to a public sale of Leewards being advertised, the market is rather dull at present. The present stock of rum is 15,800 puncheons, and price of proofs 2s. 6d. per gallon. Stock last year, same date, 16,415 puncheons, and price of proofs 3s. 3d. per gallon. Tobacco. The reports of the Continental markets continue unfavourable. The low prices attract the attention of speculators. Cargoes of Virginias are reported to be sold from 36s. 6d. to 38s. The stock of Marylands is inconsiderable, and it therefore maintains its price. Oils.-The most recent reports of the Greenland fisheries, which reach to the middle of July, being favourable, cargoes of Greenland oil have been offered at lower rates; but the trade, expecting a farther decline of prices, will not purchase. Sperm oil has given way considerably. EUROPEAN PRODUCE.-Tallow. Such is the state of money negociations and cre dit, that the prices of tallow cannot be given with precision; purchases can be made from 55s. 6d. to 57s. Hemp is in limited request, and Flax remains in a very depressed state. Brandy. The reports of the vintage in France continuing unfavourable, brandies may be stated at an improvement. Geneva is without alteration.—Aug. 10. Course of Exchange, London, Aug. 10.-Amsterdam, 11: 18. Ditto, at sight, 11: 15. Rotterdam, 11: 19. Antwerp, 12: 0. Hamburgh, 360. Altona, 36: 1.
