The Royal Mail Company's steamer Medway, Lieut. w it h, Admiralty agent, arrived this morning at Southampton, with the West India mails. Her d a bs are : Vera Cruz, June 2 ; Tampico, May 22 ; &mush, June 10; Nassau, 12th; Jamaica, Bth; St. Thomas's, 18th ; Bermuda, 24th. She brings 21,000 dollars on merchants' account from Tampico, a nd 4,100 from Vera Cruz; 149 serous of cochineal ; and 47 turtle. The following are among the par Lgen Ths Hoa. D. O'Riely, attorney-general of Jamaica ; ?I, Judge Scotland, from Trinidad; Mr. and Mrs. Davey (the brother of the late Sir Humphry), and Mrs. Hayne, t h. pucifie ; Mrs. Col. Hay, from St. Lucia; Mn. Unett, from St. Vincent; Mr. Farrant, from Vera Cruz. The Medway has had uncommonly fine weather from the time she left England. It was reported at Vera Crux that General Scott l ess at Puebla on the 2nd June, and it was expected be would enter the city of Mexico about the 16th of June, no resistance being anticipated. Santa Anna bad made good his escape to the city of Mexico, and formally resigned the presidency. It was expected that either General Herrera or Don Angel Irma would fill the vacant honourable post. Parties of Mexicans, of from sixty to seventy men, were carrying on a sort of guerilla warfare. The diligence from Mexico to Vera Cruz had been attacked by one of these bands of marauders, the vehicle de stroyed, and the passengers murdered. Col. Somers, of the United States army, with an escort of five men, was with them, bearing despatches, and shared the same fate. The Americans have lost a great number of their men from fever and dysentery. The crops of sugar-cane, coffee, Indian corn, and tobacco, were favourably spoken of, particularly upon the island of Cuba. Ham was much wanted at Bermuda. The Havannah crops were particularly fine. There had been a long succession of dry weather at Porto Rico and St. Thomas's. At Porto Rico the crops were expected to fail considerably. In the other islands the news was good, and the crops greatly exceeding those of last year. Jamaica and Demerara are spoken of as likely to double their pro duce of last year, and Trinidad as likely to make one fifth more. At the titre the Medway left Vera Cruz, not one of H.M. ships was there; the Persian sloop-of-war ailed a few days precious. At Sacriflcio were the French brig-ef- war Py lade, 18 guns, and a Spanish brig Marion. The American squadron, under the command of Com modore Perry, was off the river of Alvarado, about 7 or 8 leagues S.W. of Vera Cruz. The Potomac fri gate, of 60 guns, was at Vera Crnz, with 2 or 3 small steamers. The town of Vera Cruz was very sickly, thongh the rainy season had not yet commenced ; 20 to 23 died every day; the hospitals and churches were full of sick and wounded. On the 4th Jul 7, the Medway, in lat. 48.14, long. 22.,16, spoke the English brig Nautilus, of Glasgow, from Jamaica to Liverpool, reported having picked up the crew of the brig Gipsey, of Whitehaven. on the 27th June, abandoned on her voyage to St. John's, Newfoundland. By Conway, arrived at Spithead, there are accounts from the Cape of Good Hope to the 9th May. The intelligence from the frontier communi cates nothing decisive. Kaffir depredations eon tinned, and collisions with the settlers were not infrequent The governor and lieut.-governor were, both at Fort Peddle, where much activity prevailed. The determination of Sir H. Pottinger to restore Sir A. Stockenstrom to his former command had given much satisfaction to the Burghers, who appear to have be come so heartily tired of the service, that in raising fresh levies some difficulty was anticipated. Respect ing Sir A. Stockenstrom's reappointment, the follow ing appeared in the South Afrtran Commercial Ad vertiser : NEIORROVRHOOD or KOONAP RIVER, APRIL 22.—1 beg leave to send you the following circular for insertion in your next number. You, as well as many of your readers, will, no doubt, he delighted to hear that Sir An dreas bas responded to his excellency's desire that he should resume the command of the Burgher forces. I under stand that the proposition was as handsomely made by his excellency, as It was handsomely accepted by SG Andreas. This gentleman is said to be severely indisposed by a rheu matic attack, but his patriotism and desire to serve his country and government have made him, as usual, sink self in the general interests of the country. I believe that his excellency has not specified whether Sir Andreas is to be commandant-general, as before, but he is ready to serve the country and government either as field-cornet, field commandant, or field-marshal, if you please—he does not • we which. There is a nobleness of mind in this gentleman which the vulgar and malignant cannot see. I trust that the Burgher tortes of all grades and colones will, with alacrity, respond to the circular : Hautrom, April 1847.—Sir,—His excellency the right hon. the governor and high commissioner having expressed a wish that I should assist in bringing a fresh Burgher force into the fell, aid take the command thereof, I beg leave to request your co-operation, on which I know I may rely. need not repeat all my arguments on our duty to give the government our most cordial support under existing eircum stances. It is very desirable to have the men well equipped at King William's Town by the 25th inst., at any rate to have them there as soon as possible. I see by the newspapers that we can congratulate ourselves nn the appointment of a most efficient lieutenant governor. As, therefore, the British government shows itself disposed to gene us, let us not with hold eve best services. I am, sir, your obedient servant, A. STOCK xxsraum." The following is from the Graham's Tonal Journal: On the morning of the 22nd inst., 30 head of cattle belong. ing to the Commissariat Department, were taken off ty a party of Kaffirs in the immediate vicinity of the camp. A petrol, consisting of one officer, one scrjesnt, and 11 rank and We of the 7th Dragoon Guards, was despatched in pur suit aboat baltoest 9 o'clock, under the commend of Lieu tenant Butler, 7th Dragoons. The party, taking an inland route, proceeded at a very rapid pace as far as the Guelana stream, where they came on the spoor of the cattle, which led them towards the sea shore. Here the spoor become very viaible. Increasing their pace, they followed the beech to the mouth of the Beka river. Here the spoor tensed to the left, and the party proceeded to a height on the right of the river, where they came upon the cattle in Marge of four Kaffir. Three of these were forthwith shot by the patrol. The fourth, being slightly grazed by a ball on the side, was rut down by Lieutenant Butler (whose sword ea napped asunder by the force of the blow). He then threw down his arms and begged for quieter, which was ranted, and he was brought prisoner into the camp, along with the recaptured cattle. The patrol captured two guns, t. 0 .. Pouches with' ammunition, and a number of assegais. Br. Webb, who accompanied the party, had a hair-breadth "lcalw, ate of the K affirm harieg discharged a shot at him, 'kith very nearly took effect, and while is the very act d *swing another assegai, was ghat b, oae of the patrol. 'the alacrity and determination which characterised thin affair thrown out inert the highest credit upon lieutenant Hitler, the non commissioned officer, and privates engaged la it. A few such anent affairs as this, and one see lately fie fo , led ef the Rifle Brigade, from Newtondala would des, much towards checking the reckless daring of the Kaffir,.

The BMWs govern ment has the power, and, we trust, the will to accomplish this; and it may be depended on that ultimately it will be found the best and cheapest policy in the future efficient government of this country. Wh ile it will secure pesos, it will at the same time eonduoe to the civilisation of the natives, to the extension of trade, and to the general im provement of South Africa. A meeting had been held at Graham'. Town, at which a committee had been formed, whose efforts were to be directed to raise subscriptions for the relief of the hungry poor of Ireland and Scotland. The meeting, we are told, was distinguished by expres sions of the most generous sympathy . for their suf fering countrymen, and the most anxious desire to mitigate, according to their means, the horrid calamity into which they have fallen. lintclusa.—Baussms, JuLY 6.—By a proclama tion which has just appeared, we find that on the propceition of the Ministers of the Interior and Finance, " King Leo , pold has decreed that the time fixed by the decrees of the 7th and 20th March, 1847, for the free importation—let, of flour and meal of all kinds ; 2nd, of cattle; are proro gu ed for flour and weal of all kinds, till the Ist of April 1848, for cattle, till the Ist of September, 1847. The frontiers of the province of Luxembourg are excepted from the decree in that portion relating to cattle. A r" ht of Wanes of 10 cen time' will be charged ea evssy.l, 0 kihmeemmes of aster and meal, and per Iced of cattle." GIRMANY.—FRANKFORT, JULY 3.—A protocol has been issued by the Germanic Diet, on the iruSject of Cracow. This protocol states the reasons for the steps which were taken by the courts of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, with regard to Cracow. It is their opinion that that re public was created under conditions calculated to insure its prosperity, as well as the tranquillity of the three powers, and that it, net having fulfilled these conditions, fell into complete anarchy, and placed itself in such a psition as to preclude the powers from prolonging or taking again into consideration, without detriment to their subject', the right which kad been granted to it, an unconditional independence. It was therefore resolved that this republic should not be re-established, but that the town and territory of Cracow should be replaced in the position which it held previous to the year 1809. The votes of all the powers forming the Germanic confederation follow this declaration, all agreeing in the sentiment set forth by the three powers. It is, there fore, resolved as follows:—The Germanic confederation has heard with gratitude the manifestation made by the courts of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, of principles of inviolable respect for treaties, principles which it consider' to have re gulated theirconduct and the confederation adheres to them with the more satisfaction, as they agree most completely with those upon which reposes the fundamental law of the con federation. ITALY.—ROME, JUNE 26.—0 n the 28th of June (says the Roman Advertiaer), the solemn funeral for the repose of the illustrious " Liberator" of Ireland, D. O'Con- nell, M.P., will be celebrated in the church of St. Andrea della Valle. The sacred function will comments at nine o'clock A.M. The funeral oration will be recited by the celebrated preacher, F. Ventura. The pope hu declared all the altars of the church of St. Andrea privileged for the occasion. _ MALTA, JUNE 26.—A notice has just been pro mulgated here by the agent for the Neapolitan steamers, that every bale of packed goods shipped at Malta in the steamers for Sicily must have a certificate from the Neapo titan consul that the goods are of British manufacture, and are shipped in pratique ; and, if ever they have been in quarantine, when and where depurated; otherwise, a duty of 4 per cent. will be levied on all such goods. This is done with a view to injure the trade of Malta; for it is well known that the consul will never sign such a certificate in fact, he has already refused. Besides, it is placing a power in the consul over our board if health, of customs, and our government, and is in manifest contradiction to the treaty existing between Great Britain, her colonies, and Naples. The last steamer took over some bales, which, as they were without the consul's certificate that they had been depurated, although taken on board in pratiqne at Malta, they were placed in quarantine, but the passengers were permitted to land. It is to be hoped that our minister at Naples will look into this affair, and have, such an odious tax, as well so such an unjust order, speedily removed. It is now quite certain that our governor-general, Sir Patrick Stuart, has given in his resignation of the govern ment. He will leave in the Oriental, Peninsular and Ori ental Company's steamer, on the 14th July, when she will return from Alexandria en route for England. TUB/CET. ALBANIA, JUNE 13.—A powerful ' Albanian chief has put himself at the head of 1,200 men, and openly declared against the authority of the Sultan. Bestial Packs has marched against him from Bytolia, at the hied of two regiments of infantry, two squadron. of cavalry, and twenty pieces of cannon. The measures of reform intreduced into Albania by the Sultan were the 00C2Si011 of this rising. DAMASCUS, JUNE 9.—The city is virtually without a garrison. One part is gone to increase the army acting against Bederhan Bey, the other part went to attack the Arab rebel tribe of Bavarian, which they dispersed, and from whom they took a number of camels and horses. STRIA.—BEYROUT, JUNE 13.—A meeting of the various Sheiks of the province, assembled some time ago tor the purpose of putting the taxes upon an equal footing throughout the country, and adopting more precautionary measures in regard to quarantine. Having completed their labours, they have dispersed to their several homes. This decision of the quarantine has been occasioned by the European powers having reduced it en all arrivals from the Levant, excepting Syria. The government, therefore, wish ing to be placed upon a level with other states, has ordered the formation of a cordon sailitaire from Gaza to liehron, which it trusts will be effectual. G L ~ tf v~ v THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. BEDFORDSHIRZ.—Wheat varies; the greater part, how ever, is fine, although here and there a thin, defective clop. Barley, taking the strong and light land together, is moat promising. The oats look pretty well. Peas and beans have improved, and now bid fair to make full average cropa. Winter tares look promising. The early -cut esinfoin and clover hay aro much damaged by the heavy rains. Turnips Promise to be a fine crop. Mangle-wurzel has planted well. Potatoes as yet have shown no signs of disease. Ilettasnitia.—Vegetation makes rapid outride,. Wheat, in dry, warm, and well-cultivated land, comes on pretty well; but, where good culture is wanting, very unevenly. The late rains have laid a good deal of forward barley. This, however, promises to be thulky crop, and is shooting rapidly into ear. Oats are looking weakly, and want sun. The damp, dull weather has suited the beans and peas, in setting their bloom ; and there is every appearance of excellent crops. The early-sown Swedes and turnips come up well' they were attacked most vigorously by the fly, but many of the plants are now out of danger, and will be tit fur the hoe in a few days. CARMARTHENSHIRE.—The weather has been beautifully fine. The crops of all kinds wear a most promising appear ance. Never did the potato crops throughout the districts appear more strong, luxuriant, end healthy. Whatever croakers and hypocritical agriculturists may say, unless there be some natural defect in the physical organization of the plant, present appearances justify us in prognosticating a most plentiful return. DERPTSUIRE.—The growing crops are looking exceed ing well. Wheat is in full car, and appears remsrknbly healthy. There is every appearance, should the weather continue floe, of an abundant yield. barley appears very strong, particularly upon the light soils. While oats, although is many places short, being much kept back by the late cold rains, are showing signs of considerable improve ment. Beaus in blossom, and an average yield is calculated upon. Haymaking has commenced very generally through out, and the crop is spoken of sa very heavy. Potatoes are looking remerkably healthy, particularly the late-planted ones. No appearance of the disease, so fatal to the crops of the two preceding years, tan be reported, except slightly, in one ar two instances, A great many of the early sorts have been dug up, all of which were exceedingly productive. DEtONSHIRE.— A correspondent rye: I sin in the midst of an extensive potato district in this county but have not sees or heard of a single Cate of failure. The crop never looked healthier nor beEcr. Bet this was also the case at the same season last year, and it seas not until the com movement of August that the disease manifested itself. HAM Plllllll.ll.—lf &ease exists at all, it is to a very limited extent ; and although it is early yet to form any very sanguine expectations, still it is a cheering feet, that present appearances are highly fasrourable. LAUCASIIIat AND CNIADIDE.—With respect to Lan cashire and Cheshire, we but repeat what appears is all the journals with referent' to every county of the land we live io, when we say that the weather during the past week has been most propitious for all growing craps, and that the country never presented a more premising appear ance for an abundant Ind, we may add, an mirly harvest. Summer has visited us is real earnest, and the warm suns of the day have put vegetation to an almost fatiguing stretch, which, however, his been counteracted by refreshing and invigorating dews Is the night. On the first five days of the present month the thermomvter stood, in the hottest part of I the day anal in the shade respectively, at 71 deg., 69 deg., 78 deg , and 74 deg., the last 'being yesterday. We are in debted fur these statistins to Mr. Abraham, of Lotd•treet, who keeps a journal of the temperature etc , for the govern ment registration department. The heat on Sunday and Monday may be said to have been sultry, but the ground is so generally covered with luxuriant vegetable matter, that nothing like parching is observable. Oroat efforts have been mode by dealers in grain to impress the public with the apprehension that the potato crop would be a died failure, and that we bad little to expect from other kind of edible produce, either at home or abroad. The predit ' tions of these interested hoarders of grain (for the purpose of bolstering up prices), will, we trust, he utterly falsified. The potatoes, taking the whole breadth sown, never looked better. Slight disease may have here and there appeared, but potatoes were never without partial taint in this country, in the most abundant years, and there is no ground for alarm at present. Wisest and oat. will undoubtedly, sale. we are f -? ii t e t t i vrt4l i. j N0.267.] LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 8,1847. [3d. overtaken by an unexpected unfavourable season of harvest time, yield above the average bulk, and all other fi eld crops, ' wit h the exception of some barleys, are equally premien,. The can has been most favourable for haymaking, and much Is already gathered in. The crop is generally heavy. Turnips and mangles are thriving, and all garden stuffs are prolitic.—Liverpool Standard, of Tuesday. LEICESTEINHIRE.—Wheat has irttatly improved. On clay lands it is rather thin, but on rich soils there is some fear of too much straw. As the early wheat is new in flower, cutting will commence about the 12th of August. Some of the late-sown spring corn on cold land is dill short, but on the best they will be large. Oats, at present, have the worst appearance, being short when they went into ear. Barley has greatly improved, and on all except the poor soils, will prove beyond an average. Beans have advanced rapidly ; they were rather short when beginning to blossom, but from the late showers they have shot up, and exhibit a very floe bloom and luxuriant stem. Swedes look healthy. Potatoes, for the most part, look well, and are growing rapidly. lantawo.—The intelligence of the progress of the crops continues most cheering. For many - years the country has not been blessed with such a glorious prospect of an early and abundant harvest. The late moist weather, so favourable to vegetation, has been succeeded by most genial heat and sunshine, a continuance of which will ensure the maturity and early ripening of craps of every description. As to the corn ps cro, there is every hope that the sufferings of the people are nearly at an end • while the absence of disease in haCato goes far to co n found the exaggerated rumours which ve been in circulation. In the counties of Carlow, Kil kenny, Waterford, and Cork, the potato crop does not ave rage more than one-tenth of what It was last year, batlt looked better, and never appeared more tree from ease of any kind. In the north and north-west, embracing Londonderry, Donegal, Tyrone, Armagh, and other counties, wheat, oats, barley, rye, and turnips, and other green crops, promise a very abundant produce. ANTllm.—The crops present a racietluxuriant appearance ; but if a few refreshing showers were now to descend their beneficial effects would really be incalculable to vegetation. The accounts from all parts about the potato crop are of the most flattering description. Co itx.—The potato crop looks as sound and as fine as ever it did. Disease was supposed to exiit, but the plant has completely recovered from what was conceived to be " the blight," and is now progressing rapidly to maturity, with every fair prospect of yielding an abundant crop. DONEGAL—Potato crops continue to present the most luxuriant appearance in this and neighbouring counties. LIMBRICE.—The people who grow early potatoes declare that this year, up to the present date, they cannot discover the &lightest trace of disease, though last year, long before this period, they saw the beginning of the rot, and anxiously watched its progress, both in the tuber and in the leaves and stem. This looks well ; but then the breadth of potatoes sown this year is very small, probably not more than one eighth of what it was last year. MONAGHAN. —TLere is a fine prospect of abundance. The wheat crop, now almost all shot, is as rich as could be desired. The root crops are full of happy promise. In several in stances where, three weeks since, the potato.stalks presented a yellow, jaundiced appearance about the top or flowering part, the yellow has totally disappeared, and has been succeeded by a lively green; and where the outside leaves were burned up round the edges sad shrivelled, they have again opened out in rich luxuriance. Smoo.—Of potatoes finer or more luxuriant crops were at no former time exhibited. This opinion is fully borne out by the observation made to the sessions grand jury by the assistantAarrister—no bad authority on matters of such weighty importance. In the neighbouring districts new potatoes are large, sound, and seem to be most abundant, TIPPERARY.—The crops look better then for many years past, and there is every expectation of an early and abundant harvest. Potatoes appear healthy, and bopes are entertained that they will turn out well. They so yet exhibit an appear ance of strength and luxuriance unequalled in any preceding year. TYRONE.—The potato crop is not only free from disease, hut is coming fast to maturity in every direction. The dark appearances on the stems and backs of the leaves has totally disappeared, so that those which were then supposed to be diseased are now as healthy and luxuriant as any of the others. WEETNEATH.—The potato crop throughout this county is perfectly free from the slightest appearance of disease. SPOTLAND.—Brilliant sunshine has prevailed from morn ing till night, and frequent refreshing and wetting dews throughout the night. The effects of this almost unprece dented tract of fine weather leave been daily visible upon the growing crops, and is felt in the reduction of price in all kinds of edibles springing from the earth. The heat for some days last week was almost intolerable, the thermometer ranging in the shade in the coolest exposure from 68 to 73 degrees of Fahrenheit. We might fill columns with ex tracts from the journals in all parts of the island received since our last; but it would only be to repent perhaps, for SOtimes, the same gratifying statement, namely, that every where the vegetable crops are strong and healthy ralli4l7-. advancing to maturity and promising an early a n d ;her dant return.--Caledonian Mercury.—The grain crops of every kind are very rich and heavy, and will, in another week, be generally in ear. The barley crop is everywhere in ear already. The potatoes everywhere look well. Apprehen aion has peopled every person's brain with phantoms of the disease, and every speck that is seen upon leaf or s t i lk i s immediately set own and exhibited as the incipient blight. Thank Heaven, however, the crop seems as yet safe, and there is good reason to hope that it will continue 60. The market is pretty well supplied with early potatoes, considering the time of the year and the comparatively small number of potatoes planted. The hay harvest is com menced about the town, and a finer crop than the pre sent cou:d not present itself to the eye. The turnip crop promises well, and in one or two pieces that we have seen, hoeing has been already begun. Such is the state of the crops in our neighbourhood, and from the details contained in our contemporaries from all parts of the kingdom, we think the gratifying prospect around Aberdeen may be taken as a specimen of the general aspect of the whole land.— Aberdeen Herald. The appearance of the potato crop continues healthy look ing all over the county, with the exception of the Came of Oowrie, where symptoms ►nalogous to the disease of the last two peen have again manifested themselves in some instances. Why it should have appeared so early in that district maybe accounted for by their being planted earlier; but as in several instances the plant is already coming into bloom, without the least appearance of disease, either in stem or shave, hopes are yet strong that, if it should prevail again this season, it will be both more mitigated in its form and partial in its sphere than formerly. The early varieties are now coming to market without taint of any kind, and pro mise to be a full crop. —Perils Courier. A STEAMER ON SHORE.—AecOntrta reached Liver pool yesterday that the Belfast steam-ship Sea King. Capt. Gowan, went on shore on one of the Copeland Islands on Sunday morning. No blame, it was said, can be attached to the captain, as the fog was so intense that the utmost tautens could cot avert the accident. It is feared the vessel will ha a total wreck, an she is on her beam ends, full of water. SCARCITY AND HIGH PRICEA Or MUTToN.—Under the present circumstances, without taking into consideration the possibility of some additional canape, acting in conjuno tion with that now existing, there is no prospect either of an increase of supple to meet the fearfully rapid increase of the population of this country, or a reduction of prices, ea the ether hand, the main attributable cause is more and more evident—almost in every market, and at least every lair, an augmentation of priers cumin. The writer has di rected his attention to this subject for a considerable period, and hods that among the farmers there is now a prevailing custom to have what is called "a dry sheep farm, " that is, to graze (legs principally) on artificial food—say oil-cake,for instance, and this for two reasons, the chief of which that sheep fed on oil cake produce manure of a very strong character, the effect of which may for several seasons be traced to the very inch. The other reason is, that the land can be otherwise employed when not re quired for grazing purposes. Now, saying nothing of the other causal of scarcity, which may also be partly traced to disease, there is then a prevailing custom in full nine parishes out of ten which will, if it cannot be prevented. have a most injurious tendency on the community at large. In order to keep prices at a standard, so as to place this nutritious food within the reach of ail dames, the number pridneed should increase in proportion more rapidly than the population, because provision should be made for a draw 1, back produced by the havoc of disease. It must here be remembered that artificial food, which produces this excellent manure, Cannot be used for fattening pummel. The writer has made diligent inquiry in many mambos of Wiltshire, • country proverbially excellent for its geeing downs, and gads the result to be, that the number of lambs hrcd in 67 parishes the last three years has been 34 per cent. lens then in 18144. This prevailing custom M Wiltshire extends to the neighbouring counties, sad it is to be feared is national.— Sherdorne Joannal. Amnia :kliitthiLis.—We cannot tell the reader how mach we were surprised to meet with the following line in last Wednesday's debates. We think we can safely say that there is net another line like it to be met with an the whole we do-not.know how many retames of the won derful works of that prolific writer, Hansard. It is un doubtedly the great event of the session.

More samples of Barley and Oats were shown, but little was done in any kind of grain.

NEWARI, 317 LY 6.—A very scanty supply of Wheat was this day exhibited, and purchasers were exceedingly scarce. Wheat fully 11. per quarter lo wer th an last week . No other grain was brought forward. NEWCASTLE, JULY 6.-The weather is now as fine as possible ; but, during the greater part of last week, it was cold and nogenial. At our market this morn ing, we had oaly two samples of Wheat from the growers ; but factors being pressing sellers of foreign, ex-granary, they had to submit to a reduction of fully 4s. per qr. upon Sa tu rday's rates, and at this decline the business done was extremely limited. Flour must be again quoted 31. to 4s. lower, choice homedieids being sayable at 621. to 63a. and tibias heft I. im_die„ Mei quality. h• Oen fe Bede pudrik, and t o e es a considerable uction would have had to be submitted to.

BELFAST, JULY s.—The weather, since our last report, has been most favourable for the growing of the forthcoming crops, and, at present, in every locality, they have a splen did appearance. Owing to the fine weather, and the con tinued dull accounts from England, our grain market has further declined, and the sales for breadetuffs are very limited, consumers only purchasing for their im mediate wants. Indian Corn and Indian Corn Meal sell from 51. to 10s. per ton cheaper, and American Flour is 2a. per barrel lower. The best samples of Wheat declined 3d. per cwt. Oats fell ed., and Barley from 6d. to Is. per cwt. No alterations have taken place since Thursday, in the 9uota tions of Oatmeal and town-manufactured Flour. Since f riday last, the weight of bread has been increased three-quarters of a pound to the shilling loaf, and the four-pound loaf has been reduced to seven pence.

Wheat, red, 16s. 6d., to 17s. ; white, 17s. to 170. 6d. per cwt. DUNDALK, J tar s.—There was so little doing in the Corn market to-day that quotations are only nominal. Farman, were willing to submit to a considerable redaction in the price of Wheat. Oats are very scarce, No Barley. CHEESE.-- BASINGSTOKE, JULY 7.—Several per ms were cheated at Fareham Fair, having purchased Cheese, represented to be Single Somerset, at 62c, which, on being cut, was found to he a most inferior Cheese, not worth half what was given for it.

In some gardens the bine is rather foul; yet net more so than in other seasons, bad managers having in ferior crops. Taking the heart grounds at Farnham, and the , 1 best fields at Alton, Bentley, and Crandall, the Hops are even looking better than they were at this period last year. Duty computed here at 160,0001. to 165,0001. WORCESTER, JULY 7.—The numerous reports received this week from the Hop districts give most unfavourable accounts of the plantations, many of the growers haviag now made up their minds to a total failure of their crop, whilst others have but faint hopes of their recovery. In a few highly-cultivated gardens the bine is making an effort to do something by throwing out fresh shoots, which, however, are followed up by lice as fast as they appear, which will pro bably soon destroy the plant. The ac coun t s are also bed from the Weald of Kent, Sussex, and Farnham, and the duty has dropped to 140,0001. Our market is 2a. per cwt. higher, but the business doing is rather limited.

Partiusentary Paper, No. 35 of see. ARGYLE CANAL BILL. Mr. PARKER moved that the committee on the Argyle Canal Bill have teams to sit and report on Thursday nest. Mr. CHRISTOPHER opposed the further progress of this bill. It was • measure which had originally been pro moted by a private company with a view to cut a canal through a certain portion of the county of Argyle, but in consequence of some communication with an influential landowner in that county, Mr. Campbell, of Islay, very much in the confidence of her Majesty's government, the measure, which had been treated as a private bill, had been handed over to the government, who ought to have treated it as a public measure, and to have given notice of its introduction in the usual way, and not to attempt to smuggle through the house as a private bill • mea sure of this description, involving, as it did, an expenditure of the public money to the amount of 141,0001., of which 2.5,000/. was to be voted in the protest maim. The bill had been altogether treated as a privatlkilli; tad he ma derstood that the standing orders had been sispeadad is maw that it Wild be carried throe & dasoilatim with gpsatmempeilltlaa I take& to peseent motion sought to take the bill out of the usual course even ae & private bill in order to expedite it more rapidly. In consequence of the suspension of the standing orders an bon. friend of his who possessed one of the largest estates in the county of Argyle would not have an opportunity of being heard against the bill, and the hon. member for Montrose had received com munications from other parties interested, making the same complaint. As to the merits of the bill, he must remark that the house was asked to page it on the report of Capt. Sir E. Belcher, who, though most able for the duty in which he was employed, that of surveying the coast, still, being a captain in the navy, was not Co competent to form a judg ment upon such an undertaking as an engineer, such as Mr. Walker and many others, one of whom ought to be sent down before the bill was adopted or the work undertaken. He was informed by persons melding in the Highlands that there was no necessity for passing the bill this section merely with a view to give employment to the labouring population, inasmuch es from the provision made for the destitute partly by the government, and to a great extent by the resident gentry, including Lord Macdonald and Mr. M'Cleod of M'Cleod, the poor people bad been enabled to return to their employment and to the fisheries, and in a short time there would be (unemployment through the country. Again, there existed no necessity for the proposed canal, because there already was the Crinan Canal running within 30 miles of the same district. He therefore called upon the house not to agree to this bill, but to deal with it next session, when the government ought to bring it forward as a government elm ' sure, founded upon the report of emu. eminent engineer. In order to defeat the bill for this session, he should move as an amendment that it be an instruction to the committee on the Argyle Camel Bill not to proceed further with the said bill during the present session. (Hear, hear ) The SPEAKER observed that as the bill stood referred to the committee to report thereon, the proper course for the hon. member to pursue would be to move the rejection of the report when it was brought up. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the bill was an unopposed bill, so far as private individuals were con cerned. It had been sanctioned by the house last 14,11i011, and the promoters had then obtained powers to construct the canal, which powers they had since conceded to the govern ment; therefore he imagined that the friend in Argyle shire of the hon. member opposite, and those of the hon. member for Montrose, had no locus standi in opposing it now. The house had already ordered that the till should be referred to a committee ; and perhaps it would save time if he now moved to discharge that order, and give notice that to-morrow he would move that it be referred to a committee properly constituted to deal with it as a public bill. After a few words from Six W. HEATHCOTE, which were inaudible, Mr. SPOONER remarked, that even if the private indi vidual had no locus stands, still the public had a locus stands in opposing • measure which authorised the grant of 25,0001. of the public money every year for the next four years. He thought that money might be much better applied. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had avoided going into a discussion of the merits, because it could be much better taken when the vote of money was brought forward. Mr. ESTCOLTRT warned the house to be careful to avoid bills of this hybrid description being referred as unopposed bills to the chairman of ways and means only. Mr. T. DUNCOM BE objected to the printiple of the bill. which, though it had a very captivating . title, ought to be called a bill to relieve suffering canal proprietors in tbelligh lands of Scotland. (" Hear," and a laugh.) He objected to the order being discharged on the understanding that it should be referred to another committee. It would be much better to defer the biliTiltogether until the neat session. Sir J. GRAHAM said, till he saw the votes of yesterday, he had not the least notion of the nature of this bill. (Hear, hear.) Would the right hon. baronet (Sir C. Wood) inform the house whether the grant proposed would come on with the miscellaneous estimates ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the vote was in the miscellaneous estimates already on the table, with explanatory papers, and it would be taken on the first night the house got into a committee of supply. The bill would go on pari passu with the vote. Sir J. GRAHAM suggested that it would be better to take the opinion of the house on the vote, before the bill was proceeded with, because, if the vote was negatived, the bill would be useless, and, if granted, there would be no inconvenience from the delay. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had intended to bring on the bill as • public bill, but had been inf allied by the officers of the house that he could not do so. But after what had passed be thought it better not to proceed further with the bill until the discutsion on the grant of money bad been taken. Mr. J. S. WORTLEY defended the merits of the bill. which, he contended, would be productive of the greatest benefits to the west of Scotland. Lord 0. BF.NTINCK said that the government had al ready advanced 70,000/. on the security of the toll of the Cnnan Canal, and yet they were about to grant 147,0001. of the public money to construct another work in rivalry of the Crinan Canal, and thereby to annihilate the security they have for the repayment of the 70,000/. already advanced. This was not a measure for the general advantage of the Highlands, but for the special advantage of one private indi vidual, Mr. Walter Campbell, of Islay. He objected to it chiefly because an attempt bad been made to smuggle it through the house as a private bin. Mr. BAINE denied that the bill had local support, and expressed his belief that the investment would be totally un productive. Mr. HUME wished to know what bad induced the Trea sury, in the present exhausted state of their finances, tc ' sanction a grant of 26,0001. to this scheme, which was but an instalment of 147,0001. The public money was thus voted to relieve certain Highland lairds of their liabilities. It war said the undertaking was productive whence, then, the anxiety to give it up, and throw it on the government ? It was the wildest delusion to suppose that any Highland laird would ever surrender en undertaking which had anything profitable about it. (Laughter.) Why should the time of the house be occupied with such a proposal at this period of the session ? It would have been better to proceed with the Incumbered Estates (Ireland) Bill, rhea which no measure would more have promoted the regeneration of that country. (Hear.) He moved the adjournment of the debate for sin months. Mr. W. WILLIAMS seconded the adjournment, and de nounced the undertaking as a discreditable job. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he hod . . proposed to withdraw the order, in the prospect of an oppo. anion being raised to it. He now felt called on to state what were the views of government with reference to thin undertaking. Early in the year many applications were made to government to sanction works which might give employ to the distressed Highlanders; among st others Mr. Campbell, of Islay, made similar applications in reference to the Argyle Canal, and Sir E. Belcher was sent down to make the requisite surveys of that and the Crinan Canal. An eminent engineer was also sent down, who reported that the estimates would be more than sufficient. Government had only been induced to undertake the work with the view of employing the Highlanders ; and if, at the same time, tht y could forward a great public object the result would be most beneficial. Those hon. members who denied that the under :taking would be an advantageous one could not have read the papers before the house. He was anziotui at first to have made it a public l i but the officers of the house told him it was necessary to comply with the forme of private bins. If, however, the house would allow the order to be discharged, no further steps would be taken with the bill until the proposed vote was discussed in committee of supply. Sir J. GRAHAM said that was the most correct course. and he hoped further time would not be lost in discussing the adjournment of the debate. Mr. HOME having withdrawn his motion, the order for referring the bill to a committee on Thursday was read and discharged. CALEDONIAN, AND GLASGOW, PAISLEY, AND GREENOCK RAILWAYS AMALGAMATION. On the motion for considering the Lords' amendments on this bill, Mr. HUME moved their postponement till Monday next, on the ground that the Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock Railway Company had refused to appear before the railway coramirienen, and abandon an agreement into which they had entered with two other companies for maintaining a monopoly disadvantageous to the public. Mr. GREENE opposed the postponement, as inconvenient. Mr. STRUTT sum that the Glasgow, Ac Company had not acted precisely in the way stated by the hon. member for Montrose. They had not refused to cancel the agree ment ; but the companies had not been able to agree among themselves on the terms on which that should be done. After a conversation, Mr. HUME withdrew his mottos, and the Lords' amendmenta were considered and agreed to. GREENOCK ELECTION. Mr. G. BANYES wished to put a question to the by I
