DUBLIN, MoNDAT, AUGUST 14. The accounts from the provinces present the aspect of unusual peacefulness to-day. The army is concer.- trating at limerick, whither Lord Harding° pro ceeded on Saturday evening, from Thurles. There are 200 constabulary and 200 infantr; at Abbey feale, and further detachments were to have arrived there in course of yesterday. Lord Her dinge will direct the movements of the corps at Limerick; and Quarter-Master General Cox is at Abbcyfeale to attend to the commissariat— no such easy matter, inasmuch as all the accounts confirm what I have already written, that the people of the town and neighbourhood still refuse to dispose of • ny provisions to the troops or the police. A man named Walsh, a tailor, has been arrested at Tipperary, on whom letters from Doherty acid others were found. Mr. O'Gorman is said to have planned the tobbery of the mil+, thouJh he took no part in it. He slept a few nights sin^c in Itathkeale, in the midst of the military and police. But, such is the vigilance of the police in tracing his steps, that they were in the hotel to search in the m. riling at an e trlc h nar—he say, bowed r, awake, and away earlier. lie is said at pre ant to be with Mr. Doheny, in the Tipperary hills ; and if this informatiou be right, then the whole pro- ceedings for his capture at Kilruah must have origi nated in false information. I am inclined to think, however, that it was not. Mr. O'Gorman has many friends and relations in the west and a uth-west of Clare. The same authority which narrated the battle of Abbeyttale, which I mentioned on Saturday, states to-day that three men were shot at Castletown, near Rathkeale. This story is probably of equal authen ticity with the former. It is understood that Mr. Duffy will be put on his trial today. The accounts from the country respecting the potato are of a very melancholy nature, and the wea ther has again become cold and wet. BURNING OF MILAN. 50,000 PERSONS HOUSELESS The lamentable news has reached us by electric deepttch that, alter date of previous advicee, Milan was fired by the populace at eight different p.tints, and that half the city has been destroyed. Fifty thousand persons have thus been rendered honselese. Funds at Pali:l—Threes, 45; Fives, 72 50. THE CASE OF THE HATZFELI) FAMILY. The family affairs of the house of ltatzfeld hare been for some time drageed into painful publicity by the d it ferenc e , of the last count and countess of that name. These different, le first to a separatioe, and then to an attempt on tha 'art of the count to obtain a divorce. The divorce was net granted; the cennt I.'S children were placed under the sole .are of the oanet, and he enter, d into a liaison with one Bailees' Von M. yelidort. The deprivation of her children first led the eouotess to the commission, through her agents, of arts involvieg, had they succeeded, bribery and breach of trust: endeavours having been made on her part to bribe the el rants eif the count and that of his secretary, to obtain for bar copies of certain letters relet've to her chil dren. The liesivw of the count with the irnroness von Me) - ender! led, however, to more serious attempts on the part of the countess or her agents—attempt , which have caused some of them to become amenable to the laws of their country The chief agents of the Countess of Ilatzfcld in the divers attempts which she made were Lasalle, assessor at the eaprtme court , (justice, in Berlin ; Oppenheim, tic ntiate in philosophy; and Mendelsohn, doctor of medicine.

The aentetce was reversed, and en the 4th of the present anonta his trial again came on at the swim held in Calogee. Tits chief witnesses 'grin. him were hie own valet named Hoppe, aid two of the countem's servants, father and sea,nam.d Kurz. The facts of tile case, as detailed in the seri dame of eo lee than 45 witneoes, were as follows : In Aug cur,l 11145, th Counters of kiatzfeld, with her three advisers, Lasalle, o, , ,enleie, and Mendelsohn, was stopping at Air la-Chapelle. The count was alas at Aix, in company with the Baretem of Meyendorf, the latter being on her way to D eve ldorf, for the purpose of getting certain documents signed there, bring deeds by virtue of which an aneuiry of 24,000 Lanes was tu settle! on her by the count. 'I tuotjzce welch the confederates had in view was to ',revert the passing of this eawract, and also to obtain cer mie 'eters and documents re halve to this subject, supposed to be in the posse sion of the baroness. The movements of the boom's Mier watched closely, 'he cone dcrates were apprized by Kurz t5-at she was about to start for Cologne, end they fl. ttr.intd to follow Ler. The reason fur so doing was stated by Kurz ou the trial to be the abstraction of a menet contaudeg the papers they wished to get piano Mon of ; butLaselle e.nps :a ti ce rly de n ied this, stating that their only object waste watch the movements of the baroness.

On the way, however, Oppenheim got out, and Mendelsohn drove with the joint luggage to the station of the Bonn Itrawee. This was early in the morning of the .eels August. :A earlwh ale tl.e casket had been missed, and 'Neaten initaetlately tell upon the two men who had so entirely left.

RIOT AND BLOODSHED AT ASHTON. (By the Electric Telegraph tbmpanies F.eprees.) News has reached us, that late last night a number of chartists and repealers ' armed with pikes and guns, paraded the streets of Ashton. One watchman is said to have been shot, and his body to have been brutally stabbed with pikes. The soldiery were sent for, and the mob are stated to have drawn up, pikes foremost, to oppose the entrance of the military Into the town ; but the rioters fled on the approach of the red coats. Many prisoners were taken. These facts, received by electric telegraph this afternoon, explain the following statement, from our Manc hesterl reporter, published in the Daily lkews this morning: ALARMING STATE OF THE MANUFAC TURING DISTRIC CS. Very considerable alarm has been created in the manufacturing districts—more particularly in Manchester and Ashton-under-Lyne—by rumours of intended outbreaks by the chartists and the Irish confederate clubs. Our cor respondent states that he was Inclined to treat the matter as an idle rumour, but that on application to the polies sly ho rities he found the ingestive, had been in consultation during almost the whole of Saturday ni.hi, several of them being at the town-hall indeed as late es 2 and 3 o'clock on Sunday morning. The ground of this alarm to the magistrates was not suffered to transpire, but something of an unusual nature is inferred, from the circum stance that the police are enjoined to strict secrecy towards the press, a course which has not before been adopted. The answer of the police superintendents to the most simple question is, " We are not at liberty to answer." At Ashton, whither our correspondent went, in conse quence of the news from thence being denied at the police office in Manchester, the same seeress , was adopted, but it was there denied that any alarm has been occasioned by any circumstance. from other quarters, however, it was ascer tained that some serious grounds of alarm had existed on Saturday night, and that rumours of an intention to barricade the principal streets, and to burn down the factories, in revonge for the apprehension of O'Brien, h-id caused the magistrates and military officers to concert steps for the suppression of any outbreak, that all the police were called together, in fact in readiness, and that a strong military picquet, with bayonets fixed, was sent [own to the netObourhooil of the chartist and confederate• meet ing-house on Saturday night, where a meeting was then holdina. The contrite: ates, however, had been apprised of the approach of this body. it w stated, and extinguished their lights in great precipitation and left the building, hay- ing been in secret conclave only a short time. Most alarm I ing steria were agent yesterday, also at Manchester, where it is said a ri-ing was to be effected f:uring the night, and the town set on fire with a view to creatinz confusion ' which was to be taken advantage of to pillage the banks and other depositories of money or valuables. These rumours may turn out to be unfounded, as many equ illy alarming ones of a similar kind have :teen, but there is no Question but that the magistrates see some groun s for apprehension, inasmuch as they have taken steps for assem• bling the whole of the police, and keeping them in readiness in lar3e bodies, ready for an emergency. Capt. Willis, the chief comtable, it is stated, had been sent for by express from Rhl I, a small watering place, where he had gone to recruit his health. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. CIIESIIIRE.—With the last evening we hope has ceased the heavy rains which for the last fortnight have exceeded anything we can remember. This morning opened with a golden eastern sky, possessing that mellow peas of tint which generally precedes fair weather. If such should providentially be the-case, the harvest will be on directly. We find that there is a mod deal of blighted corn in parts, and a goon deal lodged. We hope, however, with fair weather, there will not be any important ground of com plaint after all Dairying proceeds well ; the pastures and aftermaths are laden with their emeriti(' treasures. We wish we could prophesy " smooth things" abort the potatoes ; prospects are by no means bet er—we fear worse. Surely every one will endeavour to get out Swedes, to sow common turnips, and to introduce abundance of the Bramica family on every available plot. If people would energetically pur ace this course, prices could not get so high, and even the potato would be kept within moderate bounds. A person I in the Neighbourhood of Leyland has bought one hundred loads of potatoes, Cheshire pink-eyes, to be delivered sound at Christmas next, at 6a. per load, 2401 b. to the load. This shsws that some people expect potatoes to be at a reasonable price this season. Every tars should now be taken to select sound potato seed for the ensuing year. Wind still westerly, with a brilliant aky.—Manchester Courier, Aug. 10. ConNwam..—The weather for the last week has been very favourable for the harvest, and a great quantity of wheat and oats has been carried. The potato crop in this neighbour hood is very bad, and it is stated that more than one-half is lost.—Aug. 12. DORRETISHIRE.—The harvest operations, which had been somewhat retarded by the weather, commenced in this neighbourhood last week, and a number of reapers are. now at work. The crops, although beaten down by the weather in some places, are not materially injured, and a good 'lmmo yield is looked forward to.—Salisbury Ilerald, Aug. 12. - - - linstrantun.—ln consequence of the continued wet wea ther in this neighbourhood, the wheat, the greater portion of which has been cut, is much deteriorated, having in many places grown out ; and, should the weather continue wet, it will be almost destroyed. The potato disease is also making rapid strides from the continued rains, and should not a favourab!e change in the weather take place, -he failure in the crops of this valuable esculent will be mist extensive. — Hampshire TekgrapA, August 12. ihNTINGDONSHIME. — The weather during the end of last week was showery, and interrupted the cutting of whest; it has since that time been tine. The greater part of the wheat crop on the high land is now cut, and a little has been carried in some gleam. It is found to be light in hand, and is not expectad to yield well. Barley is lat.; there is very little that is yet fit to cut ; it appears to have a good ear. In the Fens there is a considerable quantity of wheat cut: the crop is bulky, hut it is mildewed. Turnips and coleseed grow well Grass keeping is plentiful. Potatoes are dis• astd; they become worse daily.—August 9. - • • KENT —ln the eastern part of the county the harvest is now gn ng on universally, and with geed activity, though retarded by the rein. Reports mostly speak satisfactorily of the produce of wheat, barley, and oats, hut the benne and peas have, like the potatoes, been attacked by blight Where reaped quickly, the grain is saved—otherwise this turns black and become rotten. The late boisterous weather has beaten the corn about very much.—KentisA Observer. The Canterbury Journal, speaking of Sheppy, rays: The har vest. which was progressing rapidly, has been greatly re tarded by :he ledett roue and unsettled state of the weather during the past week. Opinions respecting the wheat crop are very conflicting; the majority of the agriculturists appear to consider it light and thin in the ear, and ere fearful the yield will not he an abundant one. It is contemplated that there are from 800 to 1,000 Irish (men, women, and chi , dren) scattered through the island in search of employ this harvest. NOUTHUMBEHLEND.—The state of the weather Is now a subject of great interest and importance, as the daily heavy rains stop the finish of the hay harvest, and cause injury tt. the corr. crops. Wheat makes little progress towards ripen ing, hut, with bright fine wrath( r hervest will become pretty general by the cos° of the month. On good lauds in favour. able situauuns wheat may be cut in about a week hence, should dry weather set in. The crops of grain are almost universally good, and oats are of very vigorous growth. The prospect of a great yisl4 of potatoes of the very best quality is great almost beyond example; and the late crops, which are in luxuriant bloom, are generally as healthy looking as the early crops n w ripening. The I.roduce of the gardens is generally as abundant and fine as iu the fields, so that at present nothing is wanting but fine weather to perfect the splendid crops with which the roil is lad.n.—Newcartle Journal, Aug. 12. RETLAND.—The harvest is now thorovaly commenced in this county, and wheat is generally much the forwardeat ert•p; indeei, a great deal of barley and oats will not be reed] to cut befi.re September, and will fall light. The wheat crop is certainly much inferior to last year. Barley and oats are also light, except, of course, in particular instances. • • • SOMEUSETSHIRE.—The wheat harvest, which commenced around thi. town and, to a great event, in this county, about ten days ago, has been much impeded in its progress by the frequent and occasionally heavy showers. The crop is spoken of as being very abundant, and free from any impairing visitations by blight or insect. The potato-diseue is spread ing in this neighbourhood. Sussex. —Taking the co•inty through, it is stated thlt the growth will he one-fourth leas than last year. We have had within the last fortnight very high winds, and wheat, in ex?osei situations, has blown out. The quantity of old English wheat in the hands of the farmers is certainly more than usual. The low price, as compared with last year, has induced many who could hold to do so. Wates.—The wheat crops have been much laid by the late rains. In general we do not think there will be an average yield. In many districts the berries are small and the heads light. Reaping has become very general, from this city down the Welsh shore of the Dee, in the vale of Clwyd, and on the better lands near Conway, Aber, and Bangor. Very little is cut in Anglesey. The barley crops are good, but are sadly in want of dry weather. Oats gene rally are quite an average crop. We never saw the Angle sey oats better than in the present year ; we believe they were good last year, and were extensively used for unsling. Beans are an excellent crop on the stiff lands from King's Ferry to the point of Ayr , and also on Rhyddlati marsh, The hay harvest hes been universally late. The yield is not more than an avenge, in some instances leas ; and in general it is not well got. We feel some hope that the potato crop will be more productive than anticipated, from the fact that the foliage, flowering a nd fruiting, have been better than for the last three yean ; but the draw back is the present wet wea ther, which is bad for all crops, but especially bulbous roots, and may , yet cause rottenness as well as dimwit to ex tensively prevail.—Chester Chroni al extra visit WSJ made by ck. Jitnixv.—On Friday last a speci the committee of the Agricultural Society and their friends to the yarious farms in the island, tot the purpose of suspect log the wheat and potato crops. They started at b,tween nine and ten o'clock in the morning, and returned about six in the evening, having seen farmers in St. Helier, St. Saviour, St. !flutist, Trinity, St. John, St. Mary, and St. Lawrence parishes ; farms of every ots were inspected, from the highly-tilled pleasure term of the wealthy agriculturist to the self-w. rked farm of the small land holder, The result is most satisfactory, for although disease is prevalent in the potato crop, still it is partial, and as yet not of that alarming character which it exhibited in 11146. The wheat crop is nelow the average, but still there will he a lair return • and although in many farms smut is visible and the grain deficient, it cannot be said that there is a failure, or that injury has been u yet materially oust tined.— Aug. 10. Dentist.—The rain, especially in the neighbourhood of Dublin, has been frequent and deluging. The intervals of dry weather have been short; and even these have been cold during the night and towards the approach of evening. The consequence is, that the corn craps are not r'pening so fast as they were expected, and that the yield promisee to be pro portionately scanty, as always was the case whenever the harvest happened to be a late one. Nor is this all ; for the potato disease,l which, up to this, has only been discovered m a mitigated form in Ireland, and which set med to have been nearly arrested a fertnigt.t ago, is said to be again ex tending itself through fields, heretofore untouched, with augmented virulence.—Dublin Aug. 9. CLQNSI EL,—The fatal blight has shown itself more gene. rally than we conceived, although more than one month later than it "was discovered in 1846 ; " the consequence will be, that the potato crop cannot prove a failure to any thing near the same extent as at that dieutroue period, al though the most sanguine hitherto are now beginning to calculate upon a considerable diminution of this year's produce. On Saturday last there were about eighty loads of potatoes exppsed for sale in our market, which were dis pose dof at from 4d. to sd. per stone of 141 b. Our Nenagh correspondent writes that the potato disease has shown itself partially in that neighbourhood, but that no serious alarm u felt there.—elonatel Free Press. Coux.—We still receive conflicting accounts of the potato crop ; but we r-ezet to say that they are not generally fa vourable—rather the contrary. In many cases the tuber has been greatly diseesed ; and we know of more than one Motive- where fields have been dug up, and more than a quarter of the crop has been rejected as utterly deitroyed. We do not write this to alarm; we simply do an act of duty, and with this object—to warn our readers that the winter of '4B and the spriug of '49 are before them, and to imprees upon them the necessity of taking some step towuds pro viding employment for the people.—cork E.raminer. Drauv.—Potatoes have not manifested much, if any, appearance of the disease as yet. We would still fain be lieve that the etfes to of the high winds we have had are in many installers mistaken fur the appearance of the blight in the stalks and Is ayes of the plants. Potatoes aro plentiful at market, and quite free from disease.—Der ry Sentinel. DitossitEnrs.—From inquiries nada in the surrounding distri ts of Meath end Louth, we learn that a partial blight certainly exists but not to any great extent. Excellent potatoes wera sellieg at our =met to-day at from 2 d. to ski per stun.—Drogeda Journal. KINO . B COUNTY.—Reports of the state of the potato crop ..re conflicting. In sonic places it is confidently stated that the crop is blighted, and that the disarms has re.appertred. From other districts we have reports representing that the crop in general never presented a more healthy and luxu riant appearance. From inquiries we have made from psr. sons competent to form a correct opinion on such matt , rs, and on whom we Cal rely, we regret to ray that the sli-ease doer exist, lost not to a very considerable extent. —lung a County Chronicle. . . Kklutv.— From the general statements and from personal observation, our decided opinion is, that the injury wh;ch the potato crop has as yet sustained is very partial, cor.tiactl to certain districts, but that the crop as a whole is sound, the injury being the exception merely. We must at the 'cue time admit that in some districts of this county wo tear the potato crop i. lost. We have been informed by a clergyman who travelled between C istlet two in the county of Cork and Kenmore, that the smell from the rotting putat vs in the fields at either side of the roc I was intolerable.—Kerry Ex. ambler, August 11. Limanicx.—Although the stalk. and leaves of the pota toesin many places are discoloured, yet the blight in most instances is lotted not to have touched the tuber, which eon. Itinues si.und. Till , little sign of disease marks the large quantity of pitatoea brought to this market. The harem will, unquestionably, be a late one, owing to the continuance of rains, and want of sunshine to ripen the crops.—Limerick Chronicle, Aug. 12. SLIGO.—The potato in this quarter is generally sound and most politic. In some few spots, here and there stalks have been partially blighted from the effects of lightning; but the ravaging disease, eo much apprehended, is unknown hers.— Sligo Journal. AFIREDZIN.—We have had several drenching showers, accompanied by strong wind, but we have not beard that any materal injury has resulted to the crops. Yesterday the aspect of the weather altered fur the better. We have, as yet, heard of nc. alarming symptoms of disease in the crop of late potatoes, nor does it appear that we are to be deprived of what may, in the eircumstaecew, be considered s good crop of tulles. The grain crop looks beautiful, and, though some douhts are expressed as to whether or not they will prove es bulky as was at first anticipated, there is a sure prospect, should the weather continue favourable, of abut, l ance for maa and beast.—Aberdeen Herald. Gtssnow.—The North British Daily Mail of August 12, uys, " Though the weather at the beginning of the wick was rather broken, comparatively little rain has fallen during the last four or five days. The sky was much overea-t the great r part of yesterday, and threats ned a storm ; but the clouds gradually dispersed before nightfall, and the ereuing became quiet and serene. From twenty different towns and districts of country, the weather, during yesterday, as an nounced per electric hlegraph, was exceedingly favourable for harvest purpcsea, being, with but two exceptions, 'fine.' s very fine,' with wester') winds prevailing." To this report we may add that of the Glasgow Post, of the same date, which says: "This week has been showery, but, on the whole very favourable fur maturing the crops, and bringing on the harvest. Wheat is now assuming the tint of ripe ness over this quarter of the country, and, with the continu ance of the dry warm weather we have been fasoured with for the last two days . by the end of next week some of the morn early fields will be cut down. Barley harvest eon menoed yesterday, blue the first apple ation of the sickle we have heard of in Renfrewshire this season. In the lower ward of Lanarkshire, n the lunche of thesClyde, we also hear of barley misting having begun, an that in ten or twelve days hence harvest in this neighbourhood will be almost gener.d. The outward appearance of the potato crop over this district is still fresh and healthy; but, from all we can Earn, the rot has now made its appearance in a partial degr e, something like that of last season in most fields." PEltTll.—With the exception of a thunder-shower we have had a week of the finest harvest weather, only the nights have been frosty on three occasions. All the crops continue to look well. Wheat is assuming a yellow hue, and barley is changing colour in patches, which crop will come soonest to the sickle. Oats base improved touch by the late rains, and wiil yield abundantly both in straw and grain. Potatoes still look healthy, with a few exceptions, chiefly applicable to where the seed was unchanged from last crop. Any appeitanse of din ave is as yet confined to the shaw, for the quality of the not is the floret known for yore AltorreOt r present appesunces are highly favourable as to the result of the forthcoming ha. vest Perth Courier. cae—L....-e "1. z Tbt 613011 613.] LONDON, TUESDAY, AUG. 15, 1848.

DUKE OP ATHOLL r. GORDON.--RIGHT OF WAT villtin(in GLEN TlLT.—This case came before the Lord Wintry (Cuninghame) on Friday, in the shape of an ap plication for interdict, at the instance of the Duke of Atholl, to prohibit Mr. Gordon, farmer in Aberdeen, from using the road through Glen Tilt as • drove road. Counsel baring been heard, Lord Cuninghame said whether the allegations of the respondent hero claiming the road in question eba public chase road, were sufficient to entitle him to an iater ins interdict, and to deprive the defender of the power of exclu.l - parties who had not had a continuous recent possession of the said road, was just the point in dispute; and he was inclined very strangly to think that it was rather to he inferred from the statement of parties, that the pub:ic had no recent coatinuous possession of the mad in question. The respondent, however, came forward and asserted his right to the actual and immediate use of the road ; but at present he (Lord Cuninghame) doubted whether there were graunds enough for supporting such a claim ; end upon this point it was veer important to observe that this claim was made by the respondent, not as for his own apeciflc benefit, but for the whole public; so that if interdict were to be re fused :to the defender, the effect necessarily must be that every farmer in the extensive district to which the respondent belonged would come forward and appropriate the tune right in regard to the road as that obtained by the respondent himself. It was extremely doubtful whether this would be • fair dispenantion of justice, when the very question as to the existence of the road as a public right of way was in dependence in another place. He (Lord Cuninghame) thought that it was probably not undeserving of consideration in this case, whether the defender should not have the use of this property while the other suit was pending; if he wax deprived of this right, which lie said belonged to him, good and well; but it would swareely be just to subject him to this damage in the rams time, when the merits of the case were to be matter of proof. The nature of the damage which would he sustained by the ~efender would be such as to subject hint to great loss ; for it occurred to him (Lord Cuniiigham .) that if the deer wrre once driven from the spot, it would be exceedingly difficult to get them to frequent it again ; and, thertl'ore, looking at the nature of the use to which this property had been turned, he would not he inclined to involve the defender in so much damage as would be entailed upon him till it was found, by a proper judgment in the original case, that the respondents were entitled to the right which they claimed. COMMERCIAL 4. MA.7KATS. I.IONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'Ciock.—We had a fair business in public securities, with prices firm and looking up in the early part of the morning. Consols were done as high as 86; for money and account. But the market became flat immediately after the ap pearance • of the second edition of the Daily News, with an account (by electric telegraph) of intelligence at Paris of the serious con flagration at Milan. The accounts generally from the Continent read so favourably before, as to inspire more confidence in a peaceful solution of internal and external difficulties and hostilities. But it is feared that this event will serve to influme still more fiercely the war in Italy, but just partially suspended by an armistice. Consols are now 861 to for money, and 86, to for time.

CA N BRIDGE, August 12.-We had a good supply of Wheat both old end new, the quality of the latter very tioe,and prices ruled dull. Full ball the Wheat in this neighbourhood is I stacked, and in good condition. Two or three samples of I barley were showing, as an indication of the quality, which is coarse, and very different from what was expected. The reports generally are veryunfavour.ble as to the quality, being much blighted. Wheat, old, 413. to 485.; new, 488. to 50s. ; white, 545. ; Peas, new, 38s. to 435.; Oats, 21s. to 255.; Beans, 363. to 38s. Ousel:curse., August 14.-Oar Wheat ir arket was much better to-nay.

DONCASTER, August 12.-The weather since last Satur day bas been tolerably fine, and harvest operations have pro greased rapidly throughout the district.

Hattavotto, August 12.—We had a good supply of Wheat, and, owing to the millers being very bare of stock, the di mend was good, and prices very fir ”; but we cannot quote any advance in prices. We had little doing in Spring Corn, but prices were fully equal to those of last market HADLEIOH, August 14.—1 t being a very wet day, the farmers were asking considerably higher price., more espe cially for Wheat, than the buyen would comply with, ana in consequence scarcely any transactions occurred, HUNTINGDON, August 12. A moderate extent of business was done in Wheat, on the terms of last week, all good samples finding ready buyers. Scarcely a sample of any other kind of Corn was offered, and prices are nominally the KENDAL, August 12.—The market was tolerably supplied ; the farmers at the beginning asked rather higher priers than could be obtained. Sales were more readily made towards the close, and at a very little variation from 'art week's prices. The weather is now more seasonable. Averages for the week ending August 12: Wheat, 49 qtr., 595. 6d. ; Oats, 7G qrs., 235. 3d.

Wheat, Ous. to 60s ; Barley, 306. to 325.; Peas, SBs. to 40s. LANCARTER, August 12.—Them wu rather a better sup ply of Wheat, but in Meal under whet we expected to tied. The weather having changed for the better on the 9th inst. with a prospect of a continuance, is was expected that prices would came down ; however, the principal part was cleared off at former rates ; if any difference it was in favour of the farmers. Wheat, per load of 2801bs , from 345. to 345. Meal, per load of 2401b5, 28s 6d. t., 30s. 3d.

NORTHAMPTON, August 12.—There has been a good show of Wheat; the finest quality fully supports Ltrt week's prices. Other sorts much neglected. In spring corn but little doing at former prices. PIA mourn, August 12.—The corn trade has been less lively this week than the preceding, but the advance has been steadily supported. The weather is very unpropitious for harvest; it rains almost daily. The Potato disease in this part of the country is existing to a deplorable ext,nt. PRESTON, August 12.—The weather from Saturday last till yesterday was wet and stormy, and very unfavourable for the crops, consequently the corn trade during the sant, period ruled firm, with a stead♦ demand to consumers for each ankle at extreme rates. We have this morning a delightful change in the weather, fine and d•y. frith brilliant sunshine. Our Corn Exchange was well supplied with English Wheat from our neighbouring growers, the deniar d for which was languid, at a reduction 5(64. to Is. per windle. Irish must be noted Id, per bushel lower. No change as regards the value of Flour, but the demand was less active. Oats being scarce, support previous rates. Farmers' old Oatmeal ranges from 30e. to 31s. 6d. ; few loads of new (quality very middling) sold at the latter figure. Irish Oatmeal met little notice to day, and our quotations can only be realised in retail quan tities. Other articles unaltered. The average price of Wheat this week is &Ss. 24. per imp. qr. Iticitstosta (Yonualeinn), August 12.—We had a fair supply of Wheat. Wheat sold from 6s. 91. to 75. 6d. Oats, 2s Bd. to 3s 2d. Barley, 4s. 3d. to 4s. 6d. Beans, 4s. 6d. to 4s. 9d. per bushel. SIUMW , III:RY, August 12.—The gloomy reports of the Potato crop being on the increase, and the unfavourable state of the weather tor ha t, caused the sellers of Wheat who attend. d this day's market to demand Metier rates, and the trade ruled firm at the class, at is. to 7s. fid. per imperial bushel. StErutem, August 14.—Wheat in fair supply, and told readily, at 3s. to As. per qr. advance. Scarce any other grain offering. Wheat, white, per load, 141. 10s. In 15/. IN.; red, 13/ 10s. to 141.

Beans, 40s. to 455. per qr. - - - - WINCHESTER, August I2.—There was a good supply of old Wheat; the market ruled exceedingly dull throughout the day, without any advance upon last week's prices. Oats and Barley of quick sale, and Is. to 2s. dearer. Beans with out alteration. YARMOUTH, August 12.-We have had a good supply of at this week. The trade is firm, and last week's prices are fully maintained for all best gualities. Scarcely a 'ample of othe rzrain at market, and prices may be called nominally the same . Harvest has progressed slowly, owing to the frequent showers during the week ; very little Corn carted in this neighbourhood at present, and no new samples at market. Wheat, white, 50s. to 535. ; red, 48s. to 50s. Bar ley, 28s. to 29 , . Beans, 341. to 365. Peas, 345. to 3.55. Oats, 225. to 265. per qr. ALTONA, August 8.-To-day we have fine bright summer weather, and it has every appearance of being settled, although cloudy this afternoon. Wheat: The advance at the clove of last week was maintained yesterday and to-day, with a small supply, but the market was heavy to-day, and 500 to 600 qrs. was the extent of the business done, at 44.. fcr 62116. red Upland. For Baltic shipment there has been nothing done to-day ;as for the Holstein Wheats, the only description offering, not less than 41s. on board would have been taken, .estdes which there were no vessels to be had. Barley: Scale continues in brisk demand, and the market has been well cleared at 230. to 245., according to quality, there remaining purchasers to-day at the latter figure for fine samples. New Seale Barleys by good samples are offering for October delivery, but the price asked, say about 235. Gd. to 24e. on board preclude , . any transaction!' at present. Bal tic Barleys have continued rising; for 53Ibs. to 5341 be. cam mon Jutland 19s. 9d. on board, with 3s. and S_per cent. freight for England, has been paid, and for Danish Island there are buyers at the late advance, but nothing offering. Good Jut land 531 to 54Ibs. has just been paid with 21s. 6d. and 31. freight. Beans on the spot wanting. A cargo of middling Jabde has been sold at 275. with 3s. freight. Oats have had some demand, and a couple of cargoes of Danish have been purchased at 12s. 6d. on board in Denmark, weight, 4011 s. per bush., with 2s. 3d. and 5 per cent. freight for England. Rapeseed has been taken readily for the steamers at 245. for good dry seed, and will be sent away by them so long as op portunities offer. Under present circumstances there can of course be no question of shipments from the Lower Elbe ports. Of Danish seed there is nothing offering u yet ; the samples thus far to hand are of fair quality. Cloverseed with• out transactions, and prices of old quite nominal. The quality f the Pimples of new whits seed now shown are un satisfactory. For new red seed, as per sample shown, 31s. to 325. might be about the value. A3IBTERDAN, August 7.-There has been a large business transacted in Wheat during the week, particularly in the Polisl• end red Odessa qualities, for which a good sale was experienced for home wants, as well as for speculation and export, at an advance of 10f. to 20f. for the former, and 51. to 10f. for the latter. Rye was in good request, at an improve ment of 41. to 61. Barley and Oats brought former rates ' with a fair inquiry. Beans were in fair demand. Inland horse brought 130 f., and Egyi.tian were held from 140 f. to 150 f. per last. Peas met a good sale, and the stocks being small, higher prices were realised ; for white and grey the rates obtainable were from 64f. to 74f. per hectolitre. Buck wheat rim iced firmly previous terms. Rapeseed had declined 31., and about 500 lasts were taken. DANTZIC, August 8.-Thursday's London letters report ing continued unsettled weather, our holders were firmer, and a small lot of 621 b. fine Vollaynian fetched 48a. ; another, not quite so fine, 475. Total purchases, 2.50 lasts. We shall have a very fine heavy quality of this year's Wheat, which is nearly secured. Small lots of excellent Baxley are selling at 16s. to 17e. per qr., weight 481),. to 4916. Peas have suffered materially from blight, and it is feared half the crop will be unavailable for shipping. Freigtt to London, 3.. 6d. ; and Leith, 3s. GRONINOEN, August 8.-The weather during the past week has been stormy, with almost continual rain; however, this morning proved fine, which had the effect of checking the upward tendency in prices, and caused the demand to become dull, at barely last Friday's rates. The reports relative to the potato disease are more general, and its ravages rapt lly spread ing. Wheat in steady demand, at a trifling advance over last Tuesday's currency. Rye in increased supply, and Gd. per or. lower. Buckwheat and Barley firm. Oats scarce, and 3d. per qr. dearer. Bans and Peas bring full rates.

HAMACRO, August 8.-Notwithstanding the auspicious weather experienced since yesterday, Wheat was scarcely easier to buy, and business done since Friday has been at the rates then current.

A good inquiry for Seale Barley ; our stock appears to be nearly exhausted ; 49 lbs. to 50 lbs. has fetched 225. Gd.
