A late harvest was the reed', and although ti-en teen:red with very seasonable weethor, it is to be feared "efficient time was not eine for the tiro to get thoroeghly dry in the fields; this is not gide qaently the ease iu tech seasons, and the result will be, te .t f somk! cutler - able time the samples will be saatea in Wheat. in coast given of the very wet autumn, was sown tea less extent than r many years past,fiand even its the a rise, nunisonds of rem were from the same cause unsown w ith this strain, and appropriated t a beery and other spring tort. This circumstance at once gave the prospect of a dethient crop. whieh the most unusual yield to the acreage tows could hardly be expected to crunterbtlence ; we regret that it is not in set power to report any such unusual 'it'd, but unfortunately the reverse; in fact, the yield to the sere is *enamely dedzient, end coupling this fact with the dint breadth sown, we area rte the product of wheat at tally one-fourth below an averee, compared with the estnerdiaary crop of lest year the contrast is much mere streeing, mu some of our best informed Encode con nate tele estimete too favourable.

In this port we estimate the stela of foreign wheat at 33 to 40,000 ers , end the principal dept., to the meet of this (Goals, Meld sod Leeds) have about 133,000 qrs.

A tightened money market has already, and may continue to prevent wed seecelation—this we shall not regret—but with such 690.1111W11 as we feel sure exist, no screw of this kind, in the prisont ceniitiou of cur labouriog population, will pre vent en important rife in all bread stuffs. We arrive at this toes.ction unwidingly, aft, r full consideration of the great adienee that Les already taken place, but it is forced upon as by a rim review of our neceesitiee, and our ability to preside for them lltr.ty, from cams above referred to, was more eaten sive:t sown, and there was every prospect of a good crop, bat tee I It. nogireial weather has produced much coarse off stained core, and there will be more then usual of this geility to be used for feedieg purposes ; this is well, for sever were the ports so completely drained of this article; at the moment that we are writing there is certainly not 100 qrs. of barley in Ball, nor do we know of a single cargo en tut way; the usual large demand at this season for feeding ferposes can alone be met by Indian corn, or dari, both of which articles are becoming more extensively used and appreciated every year; stocks here are, however, only moderate—sey, about 14,000 qrs. altogether. o.ts are a very irregular crop; of various growths in the lams. field, and consequently making a poor stemplt ; the is about an ge, a greater quantity of land than anal having been sown with this grain. There are few old English left, nor have we mu usual supply of foreign, cer tainly short of 3,000 qrs. Beans wore also sown largely, and until lately were well spoken of; we have as yet heard of no thrashings, het the general impression, both as respects quality and yield, is less favourable than a few weeks ago, and nearly all being yet in the fields they are lnc critical state. We commence the season with hardly an old English bean in stock-58s. ei is has already been paid to the grower; of old German beans there are about 500 qrs. in the port, held at Ws., said of Eftvphans only about 0.000 gee., held and selling at 49*. to 60s. High as these prices are, we do not see what is to prevent them going still higher; new English beans will be wholly unfit to use for some time—new German can only come to a Monate extent, and are not generally bard; Egyptians (which improve every season in quality and cleanliness) seem oar only resort; our stock of these is much reduced, cone are expected, and neither Wakefield nor Leeds have any stock. Teas are less sown than weal, especially blue, and the yit:d is unsatisfactorily reported of. This port is wholly without stocks of foreign, and 635. per qr. would be paid for stood white. Blue sells at fen. to 635. Potatoes were extensively planted, and gave promise of a good return; unfortunately, the disease attacked them web more than usual virulence, and they are not likely to pull more than one-fourth of an average crop. Indian corn and rice will be extensively used as a substitute for this valuable teeniest. TILE LOU OF THE ANNIE JAN a.—The following mutes of sufferers lost in the Annie Jane are to be added to the lists which have already appeared :—Mrs. Jessie M'ffechnic and her five children, Catherine, Mary, Jessie, and Malcolm, from Paisley. MatOritNE LFnhlts.—A supplement to the Victoria (Australia) G..iverriment Gazette was published on the llth July last, which contained 50 columns of the addresses of unclaimed letters. THE GOLDEN AGE, n atcarner of 3,000 tone bur den, i* advertised by the Post-office authorities to take out shi? ltrer hags for Melbourne and Sydney, on the 10th of neat mouth. A NEW3PAIPER WANT.—The Melbourne Argue slope consames ',;‘),0601. worth of paper a year, and at this moment one of the proprietors is constantly on the watch in the bay to get the consignments of paper from the incoming vessea, lest the newspaper should come to a dead atop. I sm cert.in that one, it not both, of our local journals will actaally be compelled to cease publication for a while for watt , f piper. Now, if one considers the immense quantity of piper consented in the entire range of the eolonies, and then think of how vastly the consumption will increase, one amazed that a paper manufactory hes not been set up in Australia. Let Sydney take the hint. Here is a good opening for enterprise; and Sydney is the only place in Asutralia where the establishment of the thing is practi cable.—Sydney Herald. ARTIFICIAL PROPAGATION OF SALMON.—On Fri day, the 11th inat.,, a meeting of salmon-fishing proprie tors was held at Perth, and, amongst other business, the proposed artificial propagation of salmon came before the meeting. The report stated that 8001., at least, would be required for making the two ponds, but 5001. was all that was votsd for this year. This is just in keeping with all the other doings of the Tay proprie•Gn of the salmon fish int.. The annual rent of the Tay fishings is at present abuut nine or ten thousand pcunds, and the sum of SOU cannot be raised et once to give the experi ment a fair trial. The Chinese have been in the pewter for tenturiee of rearing fish from ova, and the French government have lately given 1.260/. for that purpose, yet our wealthy proprietors of the Tay fishinp higgio about granting 8001. to stock their splendid river with some extra millions of smoults, which. in two or three months after they were turned out of their breeding ponds, would ratans us grilse, which has been pr-vcd beyond all doubt by thaw and Young. If the spawn is not put into the beds in about six or eight weeks from thi, date a whole year is lost. It was stated in the report " that the Earl of liinnoall dissented from being a party to the artificial breeding of salmon;' perhaps his lordship imagines that it would not be canny to eat a salmon sa reared. We shall have oar ere ea the ;progrer of the pond or ponds, and revrt.--Vert 4 Briti M ail. TAMING DOWN VIZ GALLOWS.—It is one of the happy results of the cessation of transportation to this co lony that instructions have been given to pull down the ?Crows at Launceston. Facing the river, the first object which met the stranger's eye was the permanent gallows, a substantial affair, built up with bricks and stone, and hav ing a hugo beam securely let into the walls ; altogether de signed for any amount of service. But eenvietissa has ceased, and it is rather significant that the removal of the gallows should be ordered immediately.— ra1114114448. LONDONDERRY .

JVITICE WILLIAM% NotAaniel .Dobbs, 32, was indicted for the wilful murder of his wif., Caroline 31obbs. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk canducted the prosecution on behalf of the Treasury. The pris'ner was dcfentkil, through the Matramentality ut the 466114, by Mr. Clarkson. The facts of the case were of a mind melancholy and con clusive character. It appeared that tne prison(' was cooper, and that he had tour children by • former wife, and hal been married to the unfortunate deceased ascot sixteen months at the time of tho uuharsy occur rence. They had for several months occupied a room on the hest fl or of • home in Enoch -court, Whitechapel, and the evidence wrist to chow that the pri soner was in the habit of getting intoxicated, and upon every such occasion be used to quarrel with and ill-treat the deceased. It appeared that on the 23rd of Auguot the prisoner e 31113 home slightly intoxicated, and very 62011 afterwards he awl his wife were heard quat rellimg, and some acts ot violence took place, and eventu ally the tier ued left her own apartment, and went to that of a neighbour, where she remained all night. It did not appear that the prisoner made any enquiries respecting his w.M et this time, but on the tu'' . w i ng morning, between fire and six o'clock, he went to the place where she had been staying, aad inquired for her. The woman to whom the room belonged, knowing his violent Notts, deeded that his wife was there, and stood before her to screen her from his sight, but he looked round the room and saw her, and ho then asked her to go and fetch a pint ot over. She told hint else should nut fetch any beer, and ridded that it was her iatention to go to the Lord Mayor in the course of the day, and get some protection from bit violence, or, accord ing to her even ex; "(num, " get proof that he should not murder her." Tne moment she said this, the prisoner mixed her by her clothes, and dragged her out of the room to the court, acd then with great violence faced her int) her own roam. A Niolent altereatioa tl en took place between them, and the prisoner accused the deceased of having passed the ni,,ut with • policeman. The deceased resented this io:Ca• satiate, and opened the window, anti asked the woman in wham room she bad been, whether she was not with her all the night, and she said that she was, and the deceased tin a turned to her husband and asked him if be was satislhd. The prisoner was not heard to make any reply to this, and it would wens that he afterwards went to his work, and came home about a quarter put one o'clock. The deceased shortly afterwards came home, and they rem tined in the room together nearly two hours, but nothing particular appeared to hire taken pl ice until about three o'clock, when it n °old seem the prisoner again repeated the accusa tion against his wile, of having passed the night with a policeman. She replied that, if she had been a woman of that description, sue would never have been married to him. and immediately after this the deceased was heard to scream " Murder," and call for help. The neighbours ran to the room of the prisoner, and by this time the cries bad become more faint. They :rid to open the door but were prevented from cluing so by some obstruction being placed against it ou the inside. The screams suddenly ceased, and the door was then opened, and the unhappy deceased walked out a the room with her hear banging about her shoulders, her throat cut in a most dreadfal manner, and covered with blood. Notwith standing the dreadful injuries she bad received the unhappy woman was able to reach the court, where she fell to the ground and expired almost inunetiiatley. Upon the police going into the room the prisoner was found lying upon the ground, with his throat cut, and a knife in his band, and cue of his children was sitting in a chair by his side. Ile sppeared perfectly collected, and delivered some message which he wished to be taken to his employer, and upon tho constable *sling to him that he supposed the deed was done with the knife be had in his hand, bo said it wu not, but that it was done with : a white-handled knife that was in the cupboard, and upon search being made, a knife of that deseription covered with blued was found. The prisoner was then removed to the hospital, where his wound was dressed, and he then said that the theadful occurrence would not have happened if he had not seen his wife at a late hour of the night in company with a policeman. He afterwards said that his wife Pad taken up the white handled knife, and that he thought she was going to use it to him, and he forced it front her, and cut her throat twice, and he then kissed his child, and took the other hails and cut his own throat. At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Clarkson made a most forcible and able appeal to the jury, urging every topic that could be suggested to induct. the jury to find the prisoner guilty of the lesser offence, and to relieve him from the capital charge. Mr. Justice Cromwell baying summed up, the jury, after a very short deliberation, found the prisoner Guilty, and the learned Judge passe d the sentence of death in the usual form. THE CORN TRADE. The subjoined remake on the corn trade are ex tracted from the weekly circular of Mr. Geo. Dorn busch, and refer more specially to the injurious influence exercised by the wet weather : The interest in foreign politics has this week passed into secondary importance under the growing apprehensions ex cited by the continuance of wet weather, which prevents the sowing of wheat, and thereby threatens this country with a succession of bad harvests. llamas and Turkey are since yesterday in declared open war, but probably nu portant engagement will be ventured upon at this advanced seuon;—meantime this state of uncertainty, which so much embarrasses, sinners, and injures the commercial sad ship ping interests of ill countries concerned in this contest, is to be continued to an indefinite time. . . The very ungenal weather experienced last week till two days ego has confirmed the fears that this autumn may be similarly inauspicious as the preceding, and that to the last deficient harvest a more deficient may follow. From various parts of the country the weather is rem sented as having been last week thoroughly wet, with heavy showers, drenching rains accompanied witn gales of wind, and in some districts completely stopping the sowieg of wheat and other out door work. The low parts of the country are reported either flooded, or so saturated with water, that sowing is for some time out of the question. Portions of the backward crops in late districts are despaired of reaching maturity; others, though cut, but not housed, suffer from the wet, sad are partially sprout ing. So far the prospect for the neat harvest is anything but promising. Fortunately sines yesterday there is a change for the better. The deliverics of home grown corn have last week on the whole increased, but most of whet came to market was in bad condition, affected by the dampness of the weather. It is stated that the supply of home grown corn is likely to continue rather small, amongst other reasons elm on ac count of there being a great bulk of straw in a large por tion of the new wheat crops, and but few grains in the ear, •Cireumstance which will require the expense of more than the ordinary amount of labour in threshing to obtain a given quantity of grain. The returns of foreign corn re present the arrivals from the north of Europe rather large —small from the south—moderate from America. The scarcity of vessels is increasing. At Odessa the enormous freight of 28s. per qr., and at Galata 335. per qr. to the United Kingdom is stated to have been paid. These freights, if nothing else, will check importations of corn. Nearly all the country markets held since last Wednes day have advanced the value of grain, chiefly under the in fluence of the adverse weather. Wheat has risen from ls. to 61. (York 45., Nottingham fre); a good amount of busi ness was done. Prices have already attained a consider able height at a season when they range lowest in ordinary nary. The highest prices quoted in 1847 were on the 17th Abroad, M. Abroad, in the Baltic, prices of corn are maintained with great firmness, and an upward tendency ; nearly the whole available stocks in the ports were shipped off. ilolland and Belgium quiet but firm; France rising again. At Paris the top price of flour has rlsen to 93 (runes per 157 ks. From Marseilles it is stated that nearly all the corn arriving from the Blsek Sea is disappearing into the interior as fast as it arrives. At Odessa prices hare given way consider ably on the announcement of the war declaration. Vessels were in great demand at enormous freights; granaries filled to overflowing. Stocks of corn amount to one-half million quarters. Oalets similarly situated—no vessels—large stocks—prices dropping. New York, good demand for flour at higher prices. RURAL FUNCrIONARIES.—We read in the:Courrier de Marseilles:—" It is well known that certain rural fianc. tionasies, in their official prose, make strange mistakes. The following is a specimen of their style—it is a proces verbtl drawn up by the garde-champetre of a little com mune The —, at one o'clock, I found It—, an inhabitant of the commune, committing an ()Since against the forest laws. [laving attempted to arrest him in con formity with the law, the said flew into open re volt and heaped on me the moat atrocious and most .canda logs insults, saying that I was a ragamuffin, • scoundrel, and only fit for the gallows; all which I certify to be true. Done at —, &c. Signed, —.' This agreeable slip is scarcely distanced by the exploit of a certain deputy mayor. The death of an inhabitant of his commune was prema turely announced to him, acd he entered it in the register. Having learned subsequently that the man was not dead, he, in order not to derange the symmetry of his page,wroto in the margin this picturesque annexation—iforf par erreur (Dead by mistake). Some hours after the man really died, and the deputy-mayor, having been informed of It, wrote in his finest hand—Remort (Dead again)."

At one time the rise was equal to fully per cent. since yesterday. This marked advance, however, led to a supply of stock, and to renewed spcaulative sales, and, after a sudden fall of per cent., the market slightly ral lied, and finally closed about per cent. higher than yesterday. No definite political intelligence of a nature to account fur the rise was published to-day, and altogether it would appear that the explanation of the present phase of the market rests in itself, and in that oversold position, to which we have repeatedly drawn attention of late. The continued steady ab sorption of stock by the public has caused uneasiness among operators for a fall, and has induced consider able purchases to cover speculative sales. We have already adverted to the extensive loans of stock latterly obtained from the Bank of England, and from other banking sources, to meet the demand for stock on the part of the public. In well-informed quarters it is computed that several millions sterling of stock have already been borrowed to adjust past transactions of this nature. Under these circuuu.tances the Consol mar ket is very susceptible to any further absorption of stock. The less stringent appearance of the money market is also in favour of the funds, although few people appear confident that money has reached its highest value. As regards the Bank of England, reports are circulated that its position has been im proved by farther sales of Exchequer Bills, whether conducted publicly or privately, and that the "reserve" of that establishment will thus be increased. The cha racter of the intelligence from the East of Europe is still very unfavourable, but it seems for the moment to produce little effect, owing to the hope that even actual hostilities will be attended by fresh negotia tions. It should be mentioned, however, that many parties, looking to the threatening aspect of politics, to the tendency of the money market, and to the acknowledged serious deficiency in the harvest, do not hesitate to look for a lurther decline in the stock markets during the coming winter. The Paris Bouree to-day was reported as rather better. Consols opened 92 to -, gradually improved to 92: to thence to 921 to declined suddenly to 921, and were last officially quoted 924 to 1, both for money and the 10th Nov. At 4 o'clock the quota tion was 921 to 1, but the foal tone of the market was rather heavy, owing to the return of rain, and' the last price we heard was 921 to 1. The official business report includes :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 921, 92, 921, 1,1, .1, ; ditto, for ac count, 10th Nov., 921, 92, 92,, .i, I 1 Three per Cent. Reduced, 911, 1,1, a, a, t„.

Notice was to-day issued from the India House, that the rate of interest on India Bonds will be raised from 21 to 3; per cent. per annum from and after this day. The effect produced on the price of the bonds by this announcement was not material. The closing quotation was par to 10s. prem., or about ss. better than that of yesterday. Exchequer Bills were again offered, and sales were made at Is. dis. The closing onotation was Is. dis. to 3s. prem. In the foreign stock market the transactions were the reverse of extensive, and prices were generally well supported, without any change of import ance. At 4 o'clock Mexican Bonds were quoted 24„ to i l. Spanish Deferred, 211 to 1; the Certifs., 41 to 31 per cent. Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 70 to 71 ; ditto Three per Cents., 49 to 5L Granada Active, 191 to 201; ditto Deferrd, 71 to 1. Russian Five per Cents., 111 to 113; ditto Four and-a-Half per Cents., 96 to 98. Sales are thus recorded in the official list :—Buenos Ayres Six per Cents., 56. Chilian Six per Cents., 991.

Spanish Old Three per Ceuta., 441 45 ; ditto New Deferred Three per Ceuta, 211, 1; the Committee's Certifs., 5 per cent. Vene zuela Three-and-a-Half per Cents., for account, 301. Money continues easy . Gee short-dated paper has been discounted "out of doors" at 41 to 41 per cent. Long-dated bills, however, are still regarded with much disfavour. As we anticipated, large amounts of specie are still coming forward to this country from the United States. The Baltic was to-day reported by telegraph as having nearly a million of dollars on board, or about 200,000 f. ; and further large remittances are expected by future packets. Attention may be use fully directed to the very , unfavourable position of the money market of the United States, as reported by this steamer. Several failures are already re ported on that side, and, with discount accommoda tion unobtainable in most cases under at least 12 per cent., there is great fear of the pressure leading to further casualties. Tree shipments of gold to this side naturally assist in aggravating the tight ness of that market. A serious fall in railway and other stocks is reported, owing in part to sales on European account, the proceeds of which tend to increase the demand for the medium of re mittance. The decline in the Federal stocks, how ever, seems to be comparatively slight, owing to the course at present pursued by the United States Treasury. At the same period when so much mone tary pressure is being generally experienced, the balance of gold standing at the credit of the govern ment in the various state depositaries is about six millions sterling, and the Treasury, with a view to employing this large sum, has publicly announced its intention of redeeming seven millions of dollars worth of stock at a premium. As a considerable propor tion of this stock is probably held in Europe, this mea sure of the Treasury, should the stockholders ie. cede to the terms offered, would further stimu late the efflux of gold from the United States; and it would thus appear that the policy of the Treasury is viewed in many quarters with grave reprehension. With the continuance of the demand for grain for shipment to Europe, it is worthy of remark that the rates of freight have again risen, and that this move meat of itself tends to check the shipments of breadstuffs to this side. It is very evident that the enormous rates of freight current in most parts of the world will have an important influence in main taining the price of bread during the coming winter. This was "making up" day . in the railway mar ket. Stock is still scarce and in demand for the set tlement, but the pressure seems to have been less than at the last two settlements, and the rates of " backwardation" (or premium realisable by holders of stock for the temporary loan of it) have been generally lower, becoming gradually easier as the day advanced. This change, however, chiefly re sults from the fact that stock has been extensively borrowed of late, as in the Consol marke to supply the investments of the public. The stock held by _ - Dover.

A SHARSHOLDEiL We understand the subscribers' agreement will lie fur signature en and after Monday next, and that the scrip will be then delivered to the holders of bankers' receipts. Major Kennedy, we are informed, will go out to India to seperintend the company's operations by the next mail. Land shares to-day were firm, and, being scarce, would probably have improved in price on the settling, but for the absence of active dealings. In the afternoon, however, the tone was less buoyant. Bank shares were firmer, and Australasian and Union of Australia advanced 11. Crystal Palace shares rose to 7, to 1 premium, and were lust quoted to I premium, whilst the new shares closed at to 1 ; premium. The shares of the Australian Royal Mail Steam Navigation Cempany have been dealt in at 31 and 4 (tit. paid); Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 69 to 1; and Berlin Waterworks, 10s. din. The foun dation stone of this last-named company's works at Berlin was luid on the 20th last. by the King of Prussia in person. lu Mark-lane to-day few buyers of corn came to market, the day being e ery fine and mild, the supply of home-grown corn small, and the arrivals of foreign since last Saturday moderate. Not much was sold, but although in a few instances a trifling abatement in price might have been acceded to, yet, on the whole, holders were very firm in maintaining Mon day's rates. No sale was reported in floating car goes, of which few are offered, and these are held at rates beyond the present ideas of buyers. At the country markets held yesterday, a further rise is the price of wheat is reported, amounting at Liverpool to 6d. per 70 lb., and at Hull to 3s. to Ss. per qr. Is the French markets there is a further advance in wheat of 1 franc per hectolitre. The Antwerp mur ket is advised as quiet, but not lower.
