THE Itl-snite M gratifying to re. mark the anxiety displayed by the farmers to avail them selves of this important application of machinery to agri culture.

Under these rinses stances, the machine did not work with entire MONO, but enough was dons to convince the most incredulous that, with proper rranagement, it would peeve a most valuable aid to the farmer, and would materially lessen harvest expenses." These trials may thus be pro nounced perfectly satisfactory, and we may safely predict that next year they will be unlvenally adopted. MUSIC. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. _ _ ---• ?dr. Haire, the able musical director of this theatre, had his benefit last night, " at playhouse prices : " The opera was " 1)on Hievasiai," with some novelties in the east. The part of Den Usseraison was sustained fur the tint time by Signor He Banana; and (as his previous ap pearances had give* us reuse to expect) he performed it admirably. We are inclined, indeed, to think that, after Tasaburini in his beat days. he is the bast representative of the character that we have seen. In face, person, and air, he looked the bigh.bred cavalier, with all the reekles t ism and indifference of the con. firmed libertine. His superb voice, too, enabled him to give full e ff ect to th e music. Ma dame Eiorentini wt. the hones Amin • part for which her fine pros sad wince were well suited.

I ennt in every requisite. Lablache's Leporello was admi. cable as usual; and Calsolan did jusuco to the part of (Marto. The performance on the whole went off extremely well, and received great applause. DRAMA. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. The American misters, Kate and Ellen Ba.eman, had a farewell benefit at this theatre last evening, previous to their departure for their native country. They have finished an extensive round of engagements in the pros •inces and Inland, in which they have had uniform and brilliant success. Never was success more deserved ; for they are the meet charming little creatures that it is possible tuinnainne , combining the freshness, innocence, and playful grams of childhood with the intelligence and acuteness of years. There is indreilsonsething marvellous in thi it talent. It as nothing of the usual characteristics of precocious child hood—nothing forced or artificial. Everything they do is simple and spontaneous ; and their acting. whether hu morousor pathetic, is g, fall of those fine touches of truth and nature which can flow only from native genius and are not to be acquired by all the instruction in the world. Should they continue on the stage—which, however (as we have heard), their parents do not intend that they shall de—they ought to turn out such actresses as the world has seldom seen. Last night they appeared in their most favourite pieces, " The Young Couple" and " The Old School and the New." They never acted more delightfully, nor ever met with a more enthusiastic reception. The theatre was crowded, slid the array of fashion in the boxes was like the height of the season. HAYMARKET. The Adelphi company Si, playing ~this week at the Haymarket, but the migration acronsTrandiar-square is pro verbially iesultless, as far as • change in the "animus" goes. Lot night a new "Adelphi piece" was produced, perfect in the heterodox unities insisted ;upon for that corn. polite and adventurous species of drama; and we conclude the Adelphi audience followed the Adelphi troupe, for the "screamer" was taken as a matter of course, and in the pit were to be observed none of those startled looks which would have betrayed the Haymarket habitud. In describing an Adelphi piece, it is only necessary to enumerate the thingidone on the stage, partly by design, but a good deal by accident, by the great actors and actresses who personally constitute "the Adelphi," and ' heed the departments of its historical school. In this new ' drama, the conspicuous aim of the constructors (it is the eoombined production of the Meson. Morton) has been to give the great ladies and gentlemen plenty to do—barna°. nionsly, if possible, but, at say rats, plenty to do; and the effect is, lots of bustle—sometimes to no particular end—and a brisk individual advance to some possible grouped tableau dependent very much upon • chance contrivance to bring isolated and antagonistic "characters" into co-operation to wards any sort of plot. The plot is the thing of the least importance in such • piece, and is not thought of till towards the last few scenes. What is of paramount ne cessity is to keep Messrs. Wright and Bedford in motion, a villain or two at work at the same time, and to have Mire Woolgar perpetually popping in and out, while a young lady in white and love, and • young gentleman In black and ditto, are awaiting the dinouement at the beak, and killing time by wriaging of hands and periodical silent em• braces every five minutes. Effect all this; give to each artist ample scope for filling in the author's margin. and success is certain. At least such is the piece produced last night, and its success is unquestionable. Remembering " Adelphi " necessities, and what Is aimed at in such a pi eduction, the authors must be allowed great ability. The character of Oliver, the pivot of the piece, is forcibly drawn, and Mr. 8. Emery sets it boldly, roughly, and effectively, making tbe most of the situations. Miss Woolgar was delightful; and Mr. Bedford was Mr. Bed ford. Of Mr. Wright we will observe it is to be regretted that, halfway from the Adelphi to Oxford-street, he did not practise leaving of those semi-indecencies of his wit which are humidor's even with an Adelphi public away from the Strand. ASSASSINATION IN PARIS. The Parisian journals give the following partials lue relative to the murder committed on Thursday evening in an apartment in the Rae Vivienne, supposed by a Spaniard "The murderer is named Navarro Peres.

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 10, 1852. REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE. [rim So Masi Lane Repreas.l BRITISH. ----- ----- The prospects for the wheat harvest hero under seas a material change within the last fortnight; up to that period very high expectations were entertaioed, the appearance of the crop being then highly promieing, and it was thought that the produce would be equal, if not superior to that of last year both in quantity and quality. Upon closer investigations it proves, however, that blight ' and mildew prevail to an extent likely to detract consider ably Wen the yield, and them is reason to supper's that the quality of the now wheat will be extremely various. We are certainly not disposed to place implicit retie:me on all that is said on the subject, but after inakiag due al lowance for exaggeration we can come to no other comae goo than that blight peavaila in different localities so extra. aively as to render it necessary to take a much lower esti mate of the general result than we were induced to do some few weeks ego. The most unfavourable reports which hays yet reached us are from Norfolk and from Linculnahlre--indeed the mischief appears to be more general along the east coast than elsewhere. From the west and the tank the account, are thus far promising, but many of the best wheat-pro ducing districts are seriously affected. We have heard of instances where the destruction has been so great es to threaten almost a total lees of whole fields; but, on the other hand, we have good authority for stating that, in many districts, a large produce of fine quality will be fie cured, provided we should be favoured with auspicious weather for the ingathering. It is at all times difficult to obtain accurate information as to the real position of the crops, not from any disposition to withhold the same, but from the fact that opinions Waned from sppearances in particular localities are too apt to give a bias, and lead to wrong conclusions as to the whole. This may, however, be regarded as certain—via., that the wheat crop will net give so good a return as was expected a lew weeks ago. It was then estimated as likely 'to produce over an average. Many practical men now think it will be below the average of good years. The extent of the deficiency may be further increased by unfavourable weather, said mess prKlict a higher range of prices after harvest. Much will depend on the manner in which the crop ma be secured. Should the remainder of this month prove auspicious we should not despair of the general result. Barley and eats are admitted on all hands to be abundant crepe ; and though wheat will not yield so plentifully as was at one time anticipated, a considerable reduction from the high estimates then formed would still leave a fair average produce. We do not, however, regard the future emir, of prices depending on a small excess or deficiency in the home crop so much as on the result of the harvest in the other cern-growing countries; and until something definite shall have become known respecting the produce of Southern Russia and the Western States of America, we cannot be considered to possess the requisite materials for forming a judgment on the subject. The weather has been rather unsettled since our last, heavy showers having fallen at intervals in different parts of the kingdom ; these have, however, been generally suc ceeded by bright sunshine, and harvest work has scarcely been interrupted by the wet. Reaping has made considera ble progress in all the early localities, but comparatively little corn has been carried. Samples of new barley and oats have made their appearance in many of the farmers' markets of fair quality, and one parcel of new wheat was ex hibited at Guildford en Thursday, the weight per bushel being estimated at 621 b. to 62i1bs.; but the berry was rather thin and uneven, having probably been cut somewhat too green. Prices of wheat have crept up about ls. per qr. at several of the markets in the agricultural districts, the deliveries from the growers having been so small as to fall short of the quantity needed for the consumptive demand. At the leading ports, where stocks of foreign wheat and flour are held, sellers have found it difficult to obtain any advance. In addition to the unfavourable foliate respecting wheat, another cause of eerie= uneasiness has arisen. The potato crop has certainly been attacked by the disease on this side of the Channel as well as in Ireland. The disorder is said to have spread rapidly within the last fortnight, and the prevailing belief is that it will prove more destructive than it has done any preceding mason for some years past. At present supplies are being hurried to market, and prices are thereby kept down, bur we may expect that the forted con sumption which is now going on will cause &scarcity here after. From Scotland we have hitherto heard of few complaints, either in regard to wheat or potatoes, but the adviess from Ireland speak of blight is wheat, and represent the potato murrain as very general and virulent. It is therefore cal- ciliated that the sister isle will require to import extensively, and large purchases of wheat and Indian corn afloat have already . been made in anticipation. No increase has takes rem in the supplied a English wheat, the arrivals eserwies ifte the pest of Lender hav ing amounted to eddy 3,lllirserres dean the week end ing this (Saturday) emir& Penner ere sew busy with harvest, and we can the scarcely expires my increase in the receipts.

The herring fisheries of the United Kingdom promise during the present year to be abundant in their Traduce, and ouch produce promises to be excellent in its quality. That, in some seasons, adverse physical circum stances, affecting the health of animals on land, deteriorate their quality as NttleiCS of human consumption, is a fact well known to philosophic dealers in beef and mutton • and that eirmunstancis of • like nature affect and dete riorate the quality of the finny inhabitants of the ocean is a fact not less kaown to the philosophic fishmonger. For three or four years past it has been noticeable that the herrings consumed by the inhabitants of the metropolis have not been of quality equal to those supplied to our market for several years previously, and no rowan for accounting for such change can be offered than to suppose that MIN physical influence at work in the sea hu had the egad referred o; which physical influence in the present year seems removed. It would be a matter of welcome, also, to the population of London if, simultaneously with an im provement in quality, a better mode of curing should also be introduced. Of late years, curing fish of all kinds has been a branch of trade in the port of London—a business which was formerly carried on, as it ought to be still, so l e l y at the localities where the fish are caught. The process of curing fish should be commenced immediately after they have been brought on shore, and before the work of decomposition has super vened. This is the mode adopted in all places which have gained any celebnty for " cure," such as at Aberdeen, Yar mouth, Ftndon , Peterhead, Ontenock, and various other places in England and Scotland. In London, however, the fish which are submitted to the process of " curing . " bays in general reached a hi g h s t a t e o f d ecomp osition, arising to somr extent from the time taken up in bringing them from the coasts where they are caught, and also in great measure attributable to the fact of their frequently being the " re fuse" and otherwise unsaleable portion of the cargoes of fresh fish brought to London for disposal to the large fish mongers and other dealers, and kept till such dealers have been all fully supplied. These cargo remainders are bought at a comparatively trifling cost by certain low dealers in the Minorite and East Smithfield, who are the great monopolists of the herring curing London trade, and the advanced state of decay at which the fish must have arrived previously even to their coming into the hands of these men, and submitted to the curative process' is evident to the consumer not only from the tainted taste, but from the dimness or dead appearance of the eyes, and the extreme redness of the bone. llad the herring been thoroughly fresh when attempted to be cured, the eye would have cautioned fresh and bright in appearance how long simmer kept, and the flesh white at the bone. In the last visitation of cholera the bed effects of eating those tainted bah were brought prominently before the public in numerous medical reports ; and if nothing was dune then to put a stop to the nuisance of exposing, and danger to the lives of the lieges in selling them such trash, something ought to be dune now. 'There is aa much necessity for the labours of an inspector of such places as Clare market, the New-cut, Leather-lane &c., in order to prevent the poor from being impos e d upon by the sale of tainted herrings, as there is for an inspector at Smithfield and Newgate-market for the purpose of acrutiussiog:the quality of butcher's meat. Nor is the mode of cure adopted by these London curers lees objection able than their attempt to care that which is uncurable. Even supposing them to have fresh fish to exercise their operations on, they don't submit them to the eame length ened saltpetre process as dune elsewhere, and which has been proved from the most extensive experience to be a necessary ingredient and portion of the art; no, the Minimal' curer uses little else than commas salt, and whereas in other places no fish can be properly cured and ready for market within the space of three weeks or a month, the Jew "curer" aecomplishes the same feat in a single eight. Brought from the vessel in the after noon to the " curing factory," they are steeped for a few hours in brine, then hurriedly submitted to a suet of " smoke-drying " for a few other hours, and are selling next day in all parts of the metropolis by the costermon gen as "fins Yarmouth bloaters," being really believed by the purchasers to have been eared at Yarmouth. In rele nts°e to the cemparative qualities of the herrings brought from the 11'&601111parts of the United Kingdom, and ex poshl for sale in London, the common consent of the inha bitants oldie districts abovameaticeed, Clare-market, &c., give the preference to the Yarmouth, and eschew the Scotch ones. Connoisseurs, however, and the rich, prefer those from the western seas and lochs of Scotland to any is the weeld, mad the high quality of the Leak Fyne herrings is well tuiewa—a quality in which all them 'aught in the western see ton great extent partake. Herrings taken in the stretch of ma extending from Leith harbour to put the coast of Norfolk are all of • quality identical with each other, and differing from those brought from the west of Scotland ; and from the mere circumstance of the mast of Norfolk having from time immemorial chiefly supplied the metropolis with herrings, it has become a matter of billet with the commas people, that none are worth eatipg except those from Yarmouth. It is a remark, however, worth recording here that naturalists state that both ilidand shell-fish (the later, such as oysters, crabs. ac.) bred in the seas westward of any large island or coati. nent are invariably of • quality superior to those bred in seas to the eastward. THE CHANNEL ISLANDS OYSTER FISHERIES.—The mutual encroachments of the French and English oyster iiimmen upon the eseigned territories of each other have ninuntrequently formed matter of dispute between the two sonstries end, although a boundary line was flied apes by Ow ; Ineoraatioa4 regulation on the subject, and ow Min heavy penalties prescribed tor transgression, violations Keogh regulation still occur tie oonstantly as ever.

DI/max.—The wheat (Tope in the neighbourhood of Darlington promise to be pretty abundant. Some trifling damage has been dere by the late vi lent rains; the ear being heavy, it is ha some plena much heat down, but it is hoped that as they were tolerably well filled era this happened, that less damage will be sustained than might at first be expected. Other crops are looking remarkably well. Many are complaining of the potato blight having shown itself, particularly in early kin Utahans Adrsr riser. Bneoreittnz.—There are still several held of hay re maining to be harvested is this dist, ict (Bridgnorth). Oats have been cut in many places; en.l if the weather holds up favosrably, a great bre itith or barley will be reaped during this and the neat week. Oats, barley, and wheat, have ripened all together in this vicinity, and some trouble to engage men is already experienced. Theesotatees are dis eased to a very serious extent. —Here/Ord Times. YOKKGHIIIII.—The late beautiful weather has served to hasten on the harvest to a great extent, au that in the urse tat ten days or a fortnight corn cutting will com mence generally. The appearance of all cereal crops is in good throughout this district; late spring oats and MMt souls, perhaps, be rather below the avenge. Wheat mosses to yield well. Beans and peas are about an aver age crop. Potatoes are looking pretty well; a little more rain would assist them materially. '1 he mangold, Swedes, and other kinds of turnips have escaped the ravages of the fly, and are coming on prosperously The recent emigre tion:of so many of our peasantry to America from this part, hu caused labour I. be alma !ant and wages good, so that, altogether, things weer a very pleasant aspect.— Yorkshire man. Mr. John Whitfield, of Poileey, in the parish of Calverley, has a field el oats which h e commence d cutt i ng on Wedn esday. We believe that a similar circumstance has not happened at so early a period within th e memor y of the oldest inhabitant" We are also informed that such a crop has not been seen before in the same pariah.— Lieu, Mercury. Ilutteounantin.—Never in our recollection has so much rain fallen in the first week of August, as in the present year. Throughout the week we have had very heavy and intermitted showers, both night nod day, which have seriously checked the progress of the corn harvest, and, we fear, have seriously damaged the wheat, both the standing and the reaped. All the grains have come ripe together, and with the exception or beans, which have partially failed, the crops are considered abundant. We regret to' observe that the •• glass" indicates a continuance of the wet weather, and we fear that we shall have a protracted and expensive harvest. The quality of both wheat and barley is oonsidered good, and with favourable hat reetiag, would probably be first-rate in quantity also. The hop plantations continue to improve. As regards the potatoes, there is now no doubt but that nearly all the early kinds have been ex tensively injured by disease. In our orchards, the prospect is quite as good as was expected ; there will not be half an average crop of apples or pears.-1 le. eford Times. Bzuniausittan.—This week reaping has commenced generally throughout the country. The crops vary conside rably, and we are afraid that in some places expectations, as to the great bulk of corn, will not be realised. Some fields of wheat present an appearance of bearing an unu sually heavy crop; but, on examination, it is found that the ears are not well tilled, and in some cases the wheat corns are poor and small. The complaint made by several farmers of mildew is not without foundation ; at the same time there is a large breadth of tine wheat which, we doubt not, will turn out everything that could be wished. In some districts the wheat crop is very heavy.—Bedford Times. Kenv.—We regret to have to report an extensive blight In the wheat, which has only been detected since the com mencement of harvest operations.—Surroy Standard. Oxeoitueni ex.—Harvest operations have partially com menced in the neigh`aurhood of this city during the week just ended. The crop of wheat, barley, and oats is very heavy, and of good quality, although in some parts the corn has been much injured by the heavy storms of rain and hail. This (Friday) morning a very heavy shower came on, and lasted ter some time, flooding several parts of the city. The crop of beans in this neighbourhood, as indeed every where, is very indifferent; but the meadows are looking beautiful, and lattermath bids fair to be a very heavy crop; and the second crop of clover, as well as the turnips, swedes, and other root crops, promise an abundance of keep. We hear that hitherto the potato disease has not shown itself to any very great extent in thi s neigh bourhood. Oxford Chronicle. Bieteseare—The har vesting of the Duke of Marlborough's flax crop, at Tackley, was commenced last week. In this neigh bourhood the harvest is generally commenced, with every prospect of an average crop. Wheets are in places some what blighted. The barley, pea, and oat crops are very fine. Beans are not so beau was at one time thought they would be, but still they are far under an average crop, and will in many places pepsinee but about two quarters instead of five or six to the acre. The grain is in excellent condition for harvesting. —Northampton Mercury. STATFORDSitilti.—The present reason has been in some respects a peculiar one. The long drought in spring seemed at one time to threaten the very existence of all crops • but in bon the copious showers which descended wonder'fully improved the pastures and gran crops, and the hay har vest, though late, has yielded, if not an average supply, yet a very fair quantity of hay, and that of capital quality, being generally secured in excellent condition. Turnips and other green crops were, also, saved by the timely supply of moisture ; and potatoes, many of which had been cut down by a frost in the early part of June, re covered themselves in a most surprising manner. Speaking of potatoes, ee regret to find that the disease has made its appearance amongst them most unmistakeably. All des. criptions, however, do not appear to suffer and we may, therefore, indulge the hope that the destruction of this most valuable root will sot be general. With respect to cereal crops, at one time a very large harvest was antici pated, but the bright sunshine tied the intense heat of the Wt month acted magically upon them, and w e d o not des pair, even in the face of the showery weather of the past week, of a good and tolerably early harvest. Wheat has filled surprisingly, and though the rain has partially laid the crops, no serious injury his been done • and if the weather takes up reaping will become gotten'. Oats, we are glad to find, are a good crop generally, and as the price keeps up, they will remunerate the grower. Barley also is well reported of. Beans have failed, the yield, from some cause or other, turning out exceedingly scanty.— StafordsAire Advertiser. DIRRYBIIIII2.—For a protracted series of weeks we have been in the enjoyment of weather , generally speaki ng , o f the most favourable character for bringing to maturity the various kinds of crops. Warm weather and genial sun shine have prevailed, not only in this district, but it seems to be general all over the kingdom ; and underits influence the hay, grain, and green crepe have made rapid and most satisfactory progress. Hay harvest is now all but com pleted, and the yield has proved much more abundant than some few weeks ago it could have been expected to be ; fortunately, also, favoured by the fine weather, the harvest inioperations have been carried on under the moat favour ab • circumstances, and so far as we can learn, the princi pal ?onion of the crop has been got in in capital condition. Grain crop of every description, m this district, have made rapid proms* towards maturity ; and the cuttiettif oats has bean commenced in several districts. Wheat is strong in the ear, well filled, and it Is generally well reported of. Within a short period back it has been ripening fast, and from the strong and brightseinahne to which it his been exposed for several weeks past little doubt need be entertained that it will be found exultant in quality, should the harvestiug season prove propitiout. It is true, that in not a few in dances where the crop has proved very heavy, the grain has been partially lodged . by the violent showers to which we have on several occasions lately been subjected ; still, so far as apirancoe can warrant, there is every reason to anticipate that the yield will be large, and the quality fine, if we are favoured with a continuation of the warm dry weather we have enjoyed for several weeks past. We hear but little, comparatively with numerous other years, of the ravages amnia among the wheat crop. Turnips look promising, and they are generally well reported of. The potato crop, we regret to learn, is not in so healthy a con dition as we could wish. Rumours of an extensive visits- San of the blight" in this species of produce are rife in Ttriollll quarters ; and we are sorry to learn that the dis use has manifested itself to some extent in this district. 81i11, as the crop is not yet ripened, it may, on the whole, turn out better than at first sight might have been ex pected, as no doubt even yet, much will depend on the state (tithe weather formate time come.—Denby Mercury. lain or WIoNT.—The harvest has commenced through out the Island • sad although the smut has made its ate perinea amo ngst the wheat crops in some few particular spots its general so li dity gives token that the quantity sod weight will be far beyond the average. The loose corn beautifully well, and on mat farms has come to hand as early and in as good condition as the wheat. The weather has become rather showery, which may somewhat retard field labour, but it was much wanted for the turnips. We undoretand that there is a considerable demand for la bourers, who are already scarce in the market, and the deficiency of help has occasioned a rise of some shillings on the acre for cutting and tying.—PainessAire TeikgrapA. Wetate—ln most oldie localities of North Wales the po tan crop preseets unmistakeable signs of being affected with the disease which has of late years so seriously blighted that valuable esculent. In some places the dis temper has already made rapid and destructive prose's ; and in Aberystwyth and its vicinity the leaves and stalks of the plant have become withered within the last fortnight, and the tubers greatly affected. In Hely ' well, Portmadoc, Montgomery, Llantrynmair, and adjacent districts, the hay harvest has been se cured in excellent condition, and the yield is a fair average. Some fields of fine barley have also been cut. The turnip crops are in a very luxriant state, sad green crops generally promise extremely well. In South Wales, more especially in Careaarthenshire, the bean crop appears to be Ibiling .. a prey to a disease which is likely to prove very virulent. The con harvest throughout the principa.ity genteelly, appears very luxuriant, the ears are full and heavy, and an unusually abundant yield is expected.— MONUOUTIIIIIIRI.—The hay harvest is complete in this neighbourhood (Abergavenny), and the hay has principally been got in in prime condition. The wheat now claims the attention of the farmer, several pieces of which in this neighbourhood is quite fit for the sickle, and by the middle of next week, should the weather hold fine, the principal of the corn crops will be fit for reaping. Every description of crop is looking exceedingly promising, with the exception of the potato crop, which, we regret to may, looks quite th contrary. The disease has sot in with much greater viru lence than in any former year, the earlier crops being more particularly affected ; the symptoms generally exhibit them selves in the stalks, during the formation of the seed bulb. When once the disease seems to have taken the slightest hold of the haulm its devastating progress is aeon made painfully visible. Whole fields of potatoes, that a week ago were looking most luxuriantly, now preseie a blackened and sickening appearance, and are peculiarly offensive to the maell.—Hsreford limes.

BOARD OF TRADE RE fURNb. EX PORTS. The Board of Traderett;n; for the month and six months ending the sth July, have just been issued. The total declared value of the exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures during these two periods is as follows: For the month. For six months. 1852.... 1C5,789,096 .... £33,549,392 1851 .... 8,228,122 .... 34,093,853 18.50 .... 5,750,568 .... 31,778,501 . . . The month's returns, it will be seen, though consi derably less than forthe same period of last year, areyet slightly in excess of those of 1830. On the six months' returns we find that the extended movement of 1831 has been:almost quite maintained, so that up to the present period of the year, disregarding the partial fluctuation of single months, the aggregate returns, showing the supplies despatched by us to meet the demands of our colonies and foreign countries, are very good. On examining the various items of export we find that similar results are in most cases presented. Cotton manufactures form oar chief staple, and of these the exports have been as under:— For the month. For six months. 18.52 1851 1850 _ After the marked increase in cotton yarn there is this month a reaction, but the six months' exports arc still in excess of former periods, as shown below : For the month. For six months. 1862 1861 1860 _ In woollens and woollen yarn there is a decided falling off, owing to the enhanced price of the raw material, consequent upon the anticipated decrease in the Australian supplies, the War at the Cape, and other causes.
