PARIS, IkloxnAr, 6.30, P.M. It will be perceived, by reference to the report of prices, that a cm:shim - able decline took place to-day at the Bourse, am Antirg for the Threes to If. 50c., which at the present prices is equivalent to 3 per cent. The cause of this is the general conviction that a loan will Ce hotradiattly necessary. Government vacillates, and are in much embarrass. ment ; thy desire to appc int M. Marie Minister of Justice, but the difficulty is to find a candidate of their own party whose election they can secure. They would dest,o to have M. Marrast, but the Assembly would not elect him. M. Garnier Pagis has also been named, but would be still less acceptable. MM. Ihifaure and Lacrosse, either of whom would be aecrlttd by the Rue de Poictiers, are not palatable to the government party, and in short there is no prrrent obvious issue from the dilemma. The most cortradicting reports aro circulated, on appatently . good authority, as to the duration of the state of siege. Ytaterday, General Cavagnac was reported, as we Lave stated, to have said that it would cease on the 25th ; to-day, I am told, he say s it must be retained for two or three months. _ _ Disorders me report d to have taken place at Mul house, which, however, have been suppressed. Private lethrs to-day are mentioned u having positively contradicted the news of the pregnancy of the Queen of Spain. We reed in the Constitutionnel: "The elements of an exact return of the victims of the insurrection of June are too numerous and too complex for it to be powitde to arrive now at any thing else than an approximation. It is only in some weeks hence, when the complete and official list of penalties and recompenses shall have been drawn up, that the tine proportion cf wounded and killed on both sid es run be ascertained in a manner nearly certain. We say nearly certain, because, in a e - war of the streets, with fields of battle so numerous, with enemies that cannot be counted, the part of the unknown is always very great. Until the truth as to the results of these days, for ever deplorable, shall be known, a comparison with those of the revolution of July may serve for an estimate, very probably correct. In the preamble of the bill on national rk compretes, proposed to the Chamber of Deputies Oct. 9th, U•3O, we read that 3,564 wounded were temporarily rendered incapable of work,and that 311 remained mutilated and invalided; that is, then, a total of 3,875 wourded, which must be completed by that of the soldiers, who, of course, did not figure in the list of recompenses; that is to say, in estimating the losses of the army at one half only of those of the people (the surgeon Larry alone had 5041 wounded at the hospital of the Oros- Caillou), we arrive at a total of about 6,000 wounded. We further see by the same bill that France had t.) accord pensions to 300 widows, to 300 old men whose children had succumbed, and to adopt 500 orphans. Adding tht se to the deaths of the army, we find a total of about Laol) deaths. Now, if it be proved that the number of deaths and wounded was at least 7,000 in July 1830, at a time when the struggle was somewhat restricted, confined to certain quarters of the town, and lasting scarcely two entire days, how can we br lieve thr t in June the number of victims was not much more considerable, when during four days the most obstinate and moat bloody war raged at the same time throughout the half of Paris? In esti mating it at 9,000 or 10,000, is it not unfortunately remainirg beneath the truth ?" Near the house at the entrance of the Faubourg St. Antoine which was entirely burned down, there is one cecupied in the lower part by a grocer, which rcarly shared the same fate. Seventy-one persons resided in the house, but the grocer and his wife alone resolved not to abandon it. The insurgents first summoned the husband to combat with them, or to give up his musket, and they then ascended to the upper stories. It was from this house, and from that which is by the side on the Place de la Bastille, that the well-sustained fusil lade took place, in which Urn. Negrier, M. Charbon lel (representative of the people), and several artil lerymen of the National Guard, were killed or wounded. The grocer, who had managed to escape from the insurgents, hid himself in his shop. Whilst he was doing so, two shells fell into it, and, on ex ploding, broke all they encountered; the place was also twice set on fire, but the grocer and his wife succeeded in extinguishing the flames, whereby he saved the house and his goods. The injury done, however, by the shells was very great. Paws. Jr. us 17. New Inan, —; Three per Cents., 47; Fire per Contr., 77; Four-and-llalt, —; Fours, Delman rival, 1540, —; Do. 1812, —; Do.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS CHEtilIME.—The Hay harvest has been tolerably well securen. Elmlleut in general is the condition of the cereals, and we anticipate a forward honest. Ihe potato plant is luxuriant indeed; this, however, is no guarantee against disease. The destructive furgus is to be found in almost every plot ; but it does not proceed in the work of des truction in these quarters as in some parts of England. DZVONSHIRE.—The weather lately has been of the most brilliant description. Haymaking has been briskly carried on, and a large quantity has been saved in excellent condition. The corn-tiehla are quickly changing colour ; several fields of winter barley have been cut ; and it is believed that very few days will elapse before some of the early wheat fields will be I ready Ca the sickle. As an early harvest is almost invariably a good one, there is a fair promise of ennui -m supplies. The potato crop generally is fine and healthy, and m a very great breadth was planted, a good yield is anticipated. There have been a few instances of the appearance of blight, but it is confined to spots unsuited to the growth of the plant. I)ORBLTS/IME.—The weather has been remarkably fine, and the farmers have got in their hay crops. The wheat does not look well on the whole, and the cars seem to be ge nerally smaller this year than usual. The Lent sown crops have recovered from the check they received in the early part of the spring, and now look strong and healthy. The potatoes, for the most part, look well and strong, but we Tear the insidious disease is again making its appearance among the tufiers, though we hope not to any serious extent. The crop, if preserved, is likely to be heavy. Essex.—The fine hot weather of the last few days has been fast tautening on the corn for the ham st ; hut we had no idea that the scythe or the sickle And yet been brought into opt ration. This, however, we learn, has been the case upon the farm of Mr. J. Bearhlock, at Upminster Common, where a field of fine self-sown barley fell last week before the mowers, and tnis, too, upon heavy land, on which the barb y crop is generally late this season. HANTS.—The wheat crops are exceedingly fine, changing colour tut, and will, in about a fortnight, be ready for the induitrieus reapers, should the present splendid weather continue. Potatoes are also everywhere spoken hiahly of, promising an abundant crop—not the least sign of disease up to the present time. . . . HELFORDS)4IItE.—There is a great breadth of land under wheats ; generally speakii,g, the plant looks healthy, hut it is not eta ut, and the heavy rains it experienced during the time of its hloesoming, will be detrimental to the " east ;" such a yield therefore as that of last year may not be expected in the present, though a fine genial harvest would unquestionably give an average crop. The Lent grains wear a most promising appearance, the barleys in particular. Lett year, it may be recollected, the failure of the beans was general; this year the stalk is short, but there is every prospect that of both beans and peas the crop will be good. The return of fine sunny weather hes enabled large breadths of hay land to he cleared, and the late mown grass is being hare steel very favourably. On all hands we hear most encouraging reports of the potato plant ; the haulm is very he ilthy—not the least appearance of dice ve. KENT —The breadth of wheat is unquestionably large, and, although the ears are generally small, they stand thick on the ground, and the yield promises to be good. Oats, and even beans, are much better generally than expected. The potato disewe was stated to be visiNe in some few places, but in a ride to Folkestone, and by Dover, Di al, Canterbury, and Chatham, back again to Alaidstone, after making many inquiries, no trace of it could be found. EveryboGy had seen it "in the paper," but nobody had found it in the fields, in which the crops appeared most healthy and luxuriant. Laxe•RiltaE.—We have bed • continuance of the finest weather that could be desired ; and • great breadth of excel lent bay has been got, at • nominal cost, and in first rate condition. The weather hu not been more favourable for tie hay harvest than for the forwarding of the cereal crops, which latter have advanced to maturity with extraordinary rapi :RT. The crops generally are in splendid condition; and though a repttitrim, from one or two parts of the country, of that bug-bear complaint so fashionable with greedy 'mowers at this time of Vie year, called the " potato disease," may be heard, it is quite certain that a finer yield of this necessary root, for the breadth grown, has not been witnessed. SOMEItSETBIIIRE —A large quantity of hay has been cart. d. The wheat and barley crops look very promising, and, should the present genial state of weevil° , continue, there can be little doubt wo shall have an average, if not an abundant hnrvett. _ . Senses.—The wheats arc now in full ear in most pasts of the country. They have not suffered much from the late high win,la and heavy rain. In the finest fields the wheat is thin on the ground, the plants having suffered from the wet cold spring ; but the plants which remain are in meat places now strong, healthy, and of a good colour, except on poor lands, where there will certainly be a short crop. The pota to is certainly be • stases crop. The potato is certainly par jolly aft•etcel by disease, but not to an extent at present to excite alarm. WESTMORELAND —Great quantities of gra,s have been cut and led. There is every / rospect of an early, sad we trust a plentiful harvest. There have been several instances f the putatoe decay,and it is evident, from the accounts. that the disease has exhibited itself in widely different localities; still it is too Non to predicate its extent and effect. There was the usual annual alarm raised last year, but the inflic tion, alter all, was not so serious as was feared. The worst feature of the case this year is, that the potato generally seems weak and watery, and wants the good old flavour which it seemed last year to have in great part recovered. WaLra.—The brilliant sunshine has effected a visible improvement in the appearance of the crops generally. Potatoes are described as looking well generally, though instances of disease arc reported. The hay harvest is pro gressing rapidly, and the crop is spoken of as bring in excellent condition. IRELAND.—There are some acccunts to the effect that symptoms, precisely similar to those which appeared in the potato crop of 1846, are again visible. However, on looking at the reports mid market notes in the country papers, as well so at the private letters, we are justified in wing there is no cause for alarm. Failures of potatoes in isolated parts fere mentioned, but natural causes are assigned. As well might the " missing " of the turnips or other Esculents in particular situations be set down to a general epidemic. REFORM MOVEMENT.—At a meeting of the Bath Liberal Association, held at 12, B►th-street, on July 13th, Admiral Gordon in the chair, the following resolution war ' moved by Mr. O. Edwards, and seconded by Mr. W. Lewis: —"That this meeting tender their best thanks to the editor of the Daily Netts, for his attention to Mr. Humes motion for parliamentary reform, and for his general advocacy of the people's rights ; also to the 84 honest and independent members who voted in favour of the motion; and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the editor of the Daily News by the chairman."

The refined market has become dull, and prices pertly nominal ; the ad mission of Dutch to fined at the low duty of 244. 8d , interfere materially with this market, and it came upon the refiners quite by surprise yesterday, as is was n)t coutemilated by the sugar trade that the late resolutions embraced so important an alteration. Tho duty on a con• iderable parcel was paid yesterday and received at the Custom-house without any heeitation.—Coffee The sales are progesalog steadily, but importers buy iu freely to sustain prices.— ' Dice : The large public sales have gone off with spirit, and low qualities show a further slight advance.—Saltpetre 1,000 bags sold in public sale ; refraction .51 to 61, 241. to 245. 6d. ; refraction 41, 25a. to 26a.

Gsliabli„ a glazier, in easy circumstances, about b 6 years of age, who resided in Lisbon-street, Leeds, drowsed himself in the River Aire, at Leeds,, under some whas circumstances. Ile bad for some time past ' been labouring under diseave of the heart, and for the last few nights it had ken deemed advisable that friends should sit up with him. On Sunday night this duty devolved upon a son and son•in-law ; and about 4 o'clock in the morn ing the sick man, who was then in bed, persuaded the son to lie down on the sofa. The want of company caused the son-in-law to fall asleep in his chair ; an•l Mr. Gamble, taking advantage of the circumstances, got out of bed, and effected his escape by the rear of the premises before he was missed. When his friends awoke instant a arch was made for him, but fur some time without effect. Between seven and ek.ht o'clock. a hat was found on the brink of the River Aire, near where the viaduct of the Leeds. Dewsbury. and Manchester Railway crosses, and on search being made in the water the bode of the unfortunate man was found. MURDER Or A FATHER BY MS DAUGHTERS.— Last week an old man named Stubbs, living at Harrogate, was killed by his two daughters during a quarrel. By the statement of the mother of the prisoners it appears the de ceased was knocked down a staircase and died soon after wards. The unfortunate man was about sixty years of age, and earned a livelihood by letting out ekinkey carria3es. The accused have been taken into eu<tody, Salle!' IRON TRADE. GLASGOW, JULY lb.— Notwithstanding the suspension of shipments to the Con tinent, the stock of pig iron in stores has been reduced, since lot of January last, from 06,000 to 38,000 tons. It mav, however, be observed, that the make has bet n considerably diminished. The large shipments to America have more thou counterbalanced the fulling off of home and continental consumption. The letters from Germany this week indicate that large quantities of Scotch pig iron will be required this year, the stocks th• re lacing very low. We quote the price firm at 460., for mixed numbers, and 465. 6d. for all No. 1, net cash. _ _ TALLOW.—The market is very dull. Petersburgh 1. C. on the spot, 445. Oetober to Dkcember 425.

In this neighlxiurhuoil we have some very good and some very thin crops, but as a whole not considered, at present, equal to last year.

Beans and Peas arlull ---- MELANCIIOLY OCCURRENCE.—SIX LIVES LflaT.— It appears that a party of nine individuals had been drinking during Saturday night and Sunday morning in a house in the Coelhill, Leith, and had resolved to enjoy a sail in the Frith. Accordingly, about five o'clock on Sunday morning, the whole party k tnbarked in a boat belonging to the sloop Lark, and set off for the roads. When the boat was a little to the east of the Mattello Tower, two of the party quarrelled, which resulted in a scuffle, when the others interfered to restore harmony. The violent conduct of the combatants, however, and tho imprudent ex ertions of the intoxicated psrty, caused tl.e boa: to unstt, when the whole of them wore thrown into the sea. One of the men swam ashore, and two others were picked up. The remainder were drowned. The boat ha• been ',covered and brcught into the harbour ; and, it may b.; added, that m of the unfortunate women led an abandoned life. COMMERCIAL er MARKETS.

We have Consols now at 88; to 9, equally for money and account, with trans ictions active, both speculative and for immediate transfer.

Oat., dull sale, at former prices. PussvoN, July 15.-The arrivals into this port from Ire land are so trifling as to require uo notice from us for the re mainder of the sea.on. Since Monday the weather has been exceedingly fine and forcing for the crops, and it is Lot Fur prising that so favourable a chance has had its usual depres sing influence upon the corn trade; consequently sales have been difficult to effect ' and most articles rather easl r to pur chase. Owing to the farmers being busily engaged with the hay harvest, we bad an insignificlrt supply of Euglish Wheat at our Corn Exchange this morning, and the quality generally speaking not being fine, it met a slow dragging sale at barely last week's rates. Some fine Lincolnshire was retailed at 25‘. per windle. Flour sustained our last quota tions. The demand for Oats and Oatmeal being restricted to litt:e more than limited retail operations, the value of the former remains almost nominal, vslai'A for the latter buyers had the turn of pikes in their favour.

It is understood 'hat arrangements have at last been made for completing the Aberdeen Railway. The London and North-Weetern Company have agreed to take up the shares necessary to complete the capital of the Scotch line at par; and, when finished, to lease it. This is of course an arrangement very satisfactory to the Aberdeen Company, but it is part of an exten sive policy of the North-Western, which is held to be very doubtful by many of its shareholders.

Supplies from the firmen are small, and holders of Wheat in arehouse insist on prices equal to 416. yer qr. free on board for G 2 to 6.31b5. qualities. The stock of Barley is quite in significant, and though this grain is not in much request, it could not be bought below I9s. 6d. to 20s. per qr. free on board. TLe probability of a settlement of the bicheawig- Holstein question will afford greater facilities for chipping. HOPS.— BATILV.—The hops are still in a very growing state; ►ut, am it generally happens, there are to be seen some pieces where they do not branch so finely so others, a circumstance no , doubt riving to their having been romewhat neglected. It is probe. bly early to predict anything about the gn steal quantity that may be gewn on an acre; yet, we assume to say there are some flrstarate 1 grounds that have not sufficient pole to carry more than 15 cwt. per ' acre.— Bator ace Brew ti.r. —The hop plantatiere In there parishes are looking well, and growing, being free from dietetic, with a prospect of a goad crop.

In cur re ports last year, we stated that if the planters did not grub their hops, the hops would grub them, with a 209 over duty. The bad sorts and unkind lands planted with bops must go out of cultiva tion, and, as formerly, the old grounds, the choice old varietiee, will be continued. There are thousands of acme. lend planted with hops which ought not to be, and such must be ultimately grubbed, arid the earner the better for ouch plimtere.—Eranuormitsv.—The hops in wen...seemed gardens, particularly the Jones's, ace last running into burr and look promising; but our growers this year evince a good deal of apathy with regal.' to the crop, heeling enietied that the pricer it wall fetch, should It be a Liege one, will be anything but remunerating for the expellee sad trouble bestowed on the raising. —Ewuraor.—The hope are 10-eking well, the bine is clean and growing, and bids fair for a full crop.

Lord BROUGHAM, in answer to a question from rd Catnpbel, said he should not proceed with his bill on this subject during the prvent session. IRELAND. Lord BROUGHAM stated that he viewed with alarm the proceediegs in Ireland—the establishment of clubs and or ganised societies. These peorle must be taught that they could not wrestle with the Idw ; and if the low was not strong enough to suppress such societies, it must be strengthentd. Thelf•tquis of LANSDOWNE made a few observations, which were almost inaudible in the gallery. The noble marquis was understood to say that the Earl of Glengtall bad a motion on the subject, and en opportunity of discussing it would therefore shortly be presehted. AFFAIRS OF SPAIN. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY inquired whether the gov.rnment "are in any official communication, through the English consul or other attaché of the late mission in Spain, so as to enable them to answer questions respting the present sate of the civil war in that country ?" Ile had seen an account in the papers of a Carliat general having been shot ; and since he had given notice of his motion he had found that account to be correct. Nothing could be more horrible than the system of civil war sa that country ; and one ccu!d not but deplore the state of our diplomatic relations with Spain. Ile did not know what position we were actually in with re ference to that ct.untry. Ile thought the Spanish c..rre spondenee had not been properly explained • it had been given in a most gaebled and suppress:4 mance. Ali the statcnients of Sir H. Bulwer had been admirably aim . red in a letter of the Spanish ministers of the Lithof April ; but that answer had not been lu!ly given to their lordships. He wished to know the present state of our relations with the court of Madrid. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said it was very incon venient to have questions put to the government on still:tete in which this country was so little interested. Her Maje.-ry's government were not in a position to answer all the questtons which the noble marquis might be inclined to ask. Ttey were, however, in possession, through the consular agent, of the fact of one of the Carlin generals having been put to death. But it was a matter over which they had no control; the sentence war, indeed, carried into ailed before a refoon 'trance could be made even from Madrid, much less from London. With respect to any opinion on such an act, it could not but be viewed with disapprobation ::cad abhorrence by all humane and civilised men. (111 ar, hear.) The Earl of MALMESBURY said, the pretender to the Crown of Sp.in was now in this country, and, then fore, within the reach of the government. On a former occasion Don Carlos, the then pretender, was in Spain. He hoped the government would advise the present pretender to recall his partissos, who were now going forth into Spain and perishing in so miserable ti manner. It he were to dis courage their attempts, they surely would not risk their lives and fortunes in oppesition to his wishes and exprem orders. If the government had any authority in this , country over the pretender to the crown of Spam, they would do well to induce him to take such a cep ; and he (the Earl of Malmeseory) was sure that such advice would be listeued to by the indirid-al to whom he referred. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought the noble earl had forgotten that the government had no right to interfere with the indiviCuid referred to, tensely, the pretender to the crown of Spain, more than any other foreigner in London. f The goverument could not recognise him u such pretender; and they had no reason to believe that, at the present mo ment, he assumed any such right to the crown of Spain. LAW OF ENTAIL (SCOTLAND) BILL. Lord CAMPBELL moved the committee on this bill. POTATOES.—CARLISLE.—A good supply of new potatoes, which met with a ready sale at 7d. to 9d. per stone of 1411). . . StiNDIRLAND, — The Pota'o crop, almost without ex• caption, appears health), and promises abundant yield. Prices are gradually coming down ; to-day they were selling at from 10d. to la. per stone; quality good. The Earl of LIADDINGTON objected to some minor points of the bill. It interfered with vested rights, width, ought., in their lordships' house at least, to be held sacred After a few other ob•ervstions, which wire not distinctly heard in the gallery, the noble earl concluded by moving that the bill be committed that day three months. Lord WIiARNCLIFFE thought the bill was a most sin gular invasion of private rights. It proposed to alter the law of entail, not only with reference to future but existing en tails, and to this he most decide.:ly objected. ' Lord BROUGHAM f:it the cdvantage which England possessed ante Scotland with reference to the law of entail It did not take the lard out of the reach of commerce alto gether, but yet it provided fur the support of the great fami lies et the country. Re felt a strong objection to the retro spective character of the hid before their lordships. Ho did not know of any instance in which so great an alteration had been made in the legal polity of a nation as this bill proposed to make in S c otland ; but yet, after the full consi deration which the measure had received in commidee, he was not prepared to gise it his opposition now. The amendment was then r.egatived without a division, and the bill passed through committee. CANADA UNION ACT AMENDMENT BILL. HAY.—SMITHFIELD, Ttdo Cleck.-31esers.

Lord STANLEY regretted that two legal languages should be still recognised is Canada. He did not, however, object to the bill, which he believed had received the assent of the Csnadisn people. Earl GREY said the chief feature of the bill was the recognition of the right of the Canadians to manage their own affairs—a principle which he believed to be perfectly correct. The measure had been recommended by the una nimous vote of the Canadian legislature, and had been ap proved by three successive governors gener al. : The bill was then read a third time, and the house ad journed at a quarter to seven o'clock.

GEOROPMAS CATTLE MARKET.—The day was fine, and the attendance large, but the market waaconsidered exceed ingly dull, r.ot altogether from wont of buyers, and certainly not of sellers, nor any falling off in stock, but simply the great disparity of prices betwixt parties; and hence a large pro portion of the cattle were driven off the ground without being cold.

The Earl of LINCOLN wished to ask the noble lord at the head of the government a question, but previous to doing so he would recal to the noble lord's memory what had occurred on Thursday last. On that occasion he (Lord Lincoln) had asked whether any inquiry had been insti tuted into the manner in which the Hudson Bay Company managed the territory entrusted to their care, and if such inquiry had been in'!itnt, d whether, pendirg it, thc grar.t of Vancouver's Island to the co npany would be completed? On that occasion he (Lord Lincoln) was informed that inquiries had taken Fiume, but not being deemed sufficient further inquiries had been made on th; spot through the medium of an officer in the Queen's service. He was fur ther informed that negotiations were going on respecting the cession of Vancouver's Island, hut that nothing had been completed. Ttic question he wished to ask was whether, rending the inquiry which had been recently instituted, the noble lord would undertake that no cession should be made of Vancouver's island? Lord J. RUSSELL said that the officer alluded to by the noble lord (Major Crofton) had reported in favour of the Hudson's Bay Company. Under these circumstances, and considering that communication could only be had with the territory in question twice a year, and that thetelore than must be great delay in special inquiries, his noble friend at the head of the colonial department had come to the deter mination of ceding at once Vancouver's Island to the Hud son's Bay Company. Under these circumstances be must decline giving the pledge ter which the noble lord had asked. When the charter had been ratified, it should tai laid upon the table. The Earl of LINCOLN asked whether the Hudson Bay Company were to have a monopoly of the land to the t scis sion of free settlers? Lord J. RUSSELL said that when the agreement wee completed it should he laid on the table. Mr. GLADSTONE.—Were they to understand that the house wu to have no option in this matter, if they disap proved of the agreement, except that of censuring the conduit of government by a formal vote? (Hear, hear.) Were they to en Irrstand that on a question a, important as the disposal of Vanccuver's Island the house was to have no opportunity of expressing an opinion previous to its final disposal ? (Hear, hear.) As this cession was to be made on the evidence of Major Crofton perhaps the noble lord would state what bad been that gentieman's opportunities of after- Waning the truth. Had be personally visited the Red River Lord J. RUSSELL said that blajor Crofton had merely given his opinion generally. With respect to the first ques tion, he believed the government had merely adopted the usual course. This was a charter et the crown, not a charter by act of parliament, and when completed would be laM at the table. The Earl of LINCOLN said that under these drum stances he should feel it his duty, on the first aupply night, to move an address to the crown, on this subject. (Hear.) VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.
