PARIS, SUNDAY, 6 30 r m. The Marquis de Ricci was, on the 11th instant, at Lyon., waiting the decision of the French government on the atisirs of Italy. Orders have been forwarded that the Mediterranean squadron shall quit Palermo and sail for the coast near S ardinia, where it is to await final orders. In the department of the Haute Garonne, of which Toulouse is the chief town, the municipal elections have been wholly favourable to the ultra-republican opinion. At Bordeaux, and most other places in France, the monarchical and moderate party have been, almost without exception, successful. The investigation as to the attempt to assassinate M. Thiers is proceeding actively. Yesterday, M. Pinard, Procureur of the Republic; M. inge d'ln-truetion ; and M. Yon, Commissary of the Assembly, went to the hotel of M. Tillers, to make inquiries as to the affair. Several persons have been already examined, and it results from the information already obtained, that two attempts at assassination have been made. 'the grat took place on the uth of this month, when M. Miguet was fired at on entering the house of M. Thiers, having no doubt been mistaken for the latter, and the ba.l striel the little girl. The clothes of the little girl,on c acumination, were found to be blackened, and a contusion was found to have been made. The gunsmith who ievestigated the probable diuction of the ball, states that it must have came from the entry of the Rue St. Gorges. The other attempt took place in the nigh•, between the 2nd and 3rd, ore window of the house of M. Chevreux, supposed to have been mistaken for the bed-room of M. Theirs. The marks of the projectiles, the mari ner in which the window was broken tend the curtains Vern, appear to competent persons, who have examined them to prove that cut balls we re used, and that the shot came from a house in course of bedding in the Rue d'Aumale. LA PEST FROM IRELAND. ARREST OF MEAGHER AND OTHERS. DLBIAN, SUNDAY EVENING.—A special train from Mettles reached the terminus of the Great Southern tad Western Railway, conveying Messrs. T. F. klasgiter, Maurice R. Leyse, and P. G. Donohoe, whe were arrested this morning, about two or three o'clock, on their way from Thurles towards Cashel, by a sergeant and small party of toe, who were patrolling at the time. sergeant remarked, " A fine night, gentle- Bun," to which they replied, " Good night, boys." After they had passed the sergeant returned with his party, and overtook them. Addressing one, he said, You are Mr. NI( agher," and as no answer was given, he arrested the three, and brought them to the police Kahn, from whence they were subsequently taken before General Macdonald, when it was determined to lend them to Dublin, for which purpose a special train was instantly ordered. Mr. J 1 Jams Raleigh Baxter, editor of the Dundalk POriot, has also been arrested. TRIAL OF O'DOHERTY. , Arorsr The jury i n the cue of Mr. DUBLIN O'Doherty were 12. l 2. dis charged this morning without having come to an Igreement, This result took the public no less than the crown by surprise, for though yesterday evening indicated some hazy-mindedness on the part of the jury, no one believed it would not have cleared away before this morning. Before the jury retired yester day, the foreman observed that some of his brothers did not understand the terms prima facie, which Baron Pennefather bad paid in his direction. lie told the jury that the fact of Mr. O'Doherty being re gistered as proprietor of the Tribune was prima facie evi dence of his having written the indicted articles, and, therefore, of entertaining the intents they proclaimed. But he told them they were to judge whether that evidence was not also conclusive. A portion of the jury did not know, or affected not tc know, the mean ing of the two untoward Latin terms, and stoutly con tended that primii facie evidence meant no evidence, and that they would not convict. By that peculiar process, which admits; the secrets even of the jury room to percolate, this has reached the public ear, as also that at first four were of opinion the evidence was not wrong enough, but that this morning only two, it is said, were obstinate. Of these, one is, I understand, a Roman catholic—the only one on the jury. I have heard, indeed, he was the only re cusant ; but I believe he had a companion. Thus Mr. Doherty ham escaped for the present, because the jurors of Dublin do not understand Latin. He will, however, be tried again at this commission, and the crown will probably offer the MSS. of the articles, of which it has possession, in evidence in the case. Several of those patties in custody for retaining un licensed weapons after the proclamation Whit ? , them in, were arraigned to-day, pleaded guilty, and were sentence l to one day's imprisonment. The news venders who were charged with selling and hawking the Nriti,m, Felon, Sc., were discharged with the assent of the crown. Mr. V.. ight, one of the escaped drapers assistant., has been arrested in Ulster, and was brought in to day. It is said Mr. Dillon was seen in the vicinity of elonmel this week, in a most wretched and way-worn state. Dublin, and the good people therein residing, were startled Ibis morning by the publication of a second edition of Saunders's ws Letter containing a long account of a battle between the police and a force of 800 men under Mr. O'Gorman, jun., near his camp et Abbeyfeale. The account purported to hare come from the "special correspondent" of that journal, and was dated from the verit able Abbeyfeale at 4 p.m. yesterday. Knowing' something of the topography of these parts I was ra ther incredulous in the matter, but yet could not reject the tale on that account; for though the description ' might net be accurate as to localities, I could hardly .t tin re were good grounds f I stating that in had taken place when assured of it on such autlionty. The writer says, that in reaching Abbey leak, which he did at niAit, he passed some peasantry' in military order, who told him that a collision had occurred, and that he would coon hear of another! " stand up," and the intelligence was confirmed by the head constable of a police party, who, however, did not know the fact of his own knowledge. I give the story below, as your readers may desire to k now how we "make history" in Ireland. I believe it to be a fabrication, possibly imposed upon the writer by somebody who saw him is want of news. My reason for this bah f is that a gentleman connected with Kerry and Limerick received letters from the neigh bourhood, written yesterday, in whic`i nothing is said of any such occurrence—a circumstance not probable had it occurred. Again, a director of the Cashel Railway, who arrived in the afternoon train to-day from Limerick, heard nothing of the occurrence, though he spoke to a gentleman direct from Kerry, and neither guard nor passengers had even beard a rumour on the subject. I think, therefore, we may safely pronounce this Abbeyfeale battle to be a sham fight. All the true accounts from the south report all quiet. ALLEGED ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF O'GORMAN. SI7DAY, Auo. 13. There can be no doubt that has en-' deasioured to escape to America from Limerick in the Jessie, a vessel long known in the passenger trade of Limerick. This vessel sailed on Monday last from the quays of the above, city. On Tuesday; a man of gentlemanly appearance appeared on the Kerry shore of the Shannon, arid, accosting two boatmen, offered them a sovereign to put him on board the Garryowen steamer which would soon pass on its daily trip down the river. These men accepted the offer without question asked, having, as they say, no suspicion of who their tare was. It is supposed he was Mr. O'Gor man, and the men are now in custody for having suf fered, or rather aided, his escape. They landed Mr. O'Gorman, if such he were, at 13eagh Castle, a place on the Shannon. Whoever this gentlemanly person was, he passed on board the Garryowen to Kul rush on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the Jessie cleared, and had her papers at Kilrush. Col. Vande leur, a large proprietor here, Mr. Litttle, the IL M., and several police, made diligent search on hoard while the vessel lay in Scattery Roads, opposite Ka rnak, fcr all suspected offenders, but unsuccessfully. At the mouth of the Shannon there are other roads where the versa lay to fur a time, and here it was said Mr. O'Gorman and two others were to go on board. Col. Vandaleur having heard this, immedi ately put his yacht under weigh, and with Mr. Little and the police gavepursuit, but contented himself with standing oat in such way as to prevent all boats from shore approaching unobserved. Mr. O'Gorman, it is positively known, was at Qucrin, on the Shannon, below Kilrush, on IVednesday night, and slept in a hot there with two companions. They excited the less suspicion because many young gentlemen make excursions along the coast at this season. On Friday morning, two boats from the Blenheim, with maxim eon board, were at Kilrusb, in pursuit of the Jessie, which vessel was standing away to sea with a steady breeze from the east. This is the state of the facts. So that Mr. O'Gor man may, after all, be on board. It is said he was seen on Thursday evening in the neighbourhood of Kilrush, and that Capt. Gorman would not permit him on board surreptitiously. Would not one of her majesty's steamers in the river be a better guarantee? If Mr. O'Gorman be yet on Irish ground, he can hardly escape the vigilant pursuit now directed against him; and, so much persuaded are the authori ties that he has not gone, that all foe houses in Kilkee, visitors and natives, were searched for him on 'Thursday rii , tht. My opinion respecting the battle of Abbeyfeale, which I expressed yesterday, turns out to be cor rect. 'I he story had not a particle of truth in it. (here was no firing—no collision—no dead or wounded. This I know from a gentleman who left 'l'ralce yesterday morning, and who, from his position, must have heard, had it occurred. Nor is it at all probable that any occurrence of the kind will take place, for General M'l)onald is in the neighbourhood with his column, and because the rabble which robbed the coach is utterly routed. Several of the parties engaged in that affair are in c stody, and a reward of 501. has been offered for the apprehension of any of them. No doubt, therefore, they will realise the prophecy of the Rev. Mr. Lyddy, their priest, and run faster:after the reward than they did after the coach. The special commission may issue sooner than was expected, should the present prosecutions prove abortive. The party which robbed the mails at Abbeyfeale immediately after proceeded to the house of the rector of Brosna, to carry off his arms. He told them he had none, but they made search, not with success, as the rev, gentleman was without any. A second party came with the same objec t, but did not enter the house. The limerick Chronicle gives an authentic ac count of the capture of the head-constable at Abbey feale, which I subjoin. The Mr. Harnett there named is respectably connected in Kerry, and his position in life not uncomfortable : Constable Hogben was proceeding from Ahbeyfeale to Newcastle, and when about a mile from the former vari v illage he was pursued by some of the rebel caval ous yr, ' and a crowd of about 3(t) penons, ly armed, under the command of a man named Harnett, who forcibly took from him the articles mentioned in our I last publication. They threatened him with instant death, sayieg " Mitchel got no mercy, and he shall ge t none." The e he head constable replied that "they were u nworthy of t name of Irishmen if they took away the life of a single man ; that he was not afraid of death, but would die, as a police man ought, in the discharge of his duty." They said, " the first duty he owed was to his country, and that he should be I treated as an enemy to it." At this juncture the Rev. Mr. Lvddy, IL.C. priest of Abbey and rode amongst the crowd, and remonstrated with them, and asked Harnett by what authority ha was thus acting ? " Harnett replied—" by a higher authority than he was aware of;" that he had better look to himself; that he was well 'United under tbe present vernment, and, consequently, did not wish for .• change." &hers threatened him in a violent manner, saying, " look to the first French revelation when the priesthood were put down." The bead-constable was then hurried to the moun tains by an armed party, who frequently threatened to shoot him. One who was barefooted said he was captain under " Getters! ('Garman," and asked the head.cnnsts..le did he know anything of Guerilla warfare, and if chit Wes not • beautiful country for engaging the =Wary. The party also asked what was the head constable's opinion as to the ultimate Fume's of their cause ; he replied that they were running to certain destruction, that they were so weak and so divided amongst themselves that they could not have the smallest chance of succeeding ; when the bare footed captain replied that he was satisfied to die, pro vided he could first follow Father Birminghsm's advica, that is to take down two men before he fell himself. In the evening Hartnt.tt and another leader, who seemed to have got new , rders, came to where the head-constable was de wined, and told him that his life was safe, and that if they insulted him they were sorry for it, and that he might then return iu a (ely to Abbeyle.de. lie accordingly proceeded there, and was again attacked by the mob, but, finally, by the assistat.ce of wine of the well•dupostd inhabitants, ceeded in escaping to Newcastle. Mr. Harnett has absconded, but the " barefooted" leader, Michael Denistoun, is in Limerick gaol. Outrages on property and attacks on houses are frightfully frequent in Limerick, owing to the concen tration of the police parties. Everyone who has any thing to lose is in terror. nt 612.] LONDON, MONDAY, AUG. 14, 1848. [THREEPENCE. BRITISI[ ASSOCIATION. At the opening of the stction on mechanical science on Saturday, GvrrA PERCIIA.-Mr. Whiehaw read his paper on the various applications of gutta perches • numerous specimens of which. in the shape of thread, cord, tubular pipes,driving:oands, constables eaves, stick., whips, inkstands, medallions, shields, and other ornament a, water buckets, stereotype plate', and sundry other *etch I, both useful and ornamental, were produced on the ciecasien. G iota percha is the concrete juice of a large tree of the same name, abounding in Borneo. Its introduction into this country was purely accidental, Dr. Montgomery having transmitted the first sample of it to the Society of Arts in 1843, at which time he (Mr. \Vf.ishaw) was secretary to that society. The first articles of art made of gusts pc dna in this country were laid before the Societi of Arts in 1844, and consisted a a lathe-hand, a short lenrh of pipe, and a bottle...wise, which he bad himself made by hand, having caul, d the concrete substance to become suffi ciently plastic by immersing it in hot water. He also pro !tic• d casts from medals, which attracted considerable atte union at the time, and some surgical instruments were soon after made of this new material, From 20 to 60 tons arc now regularly imported a very month, Various experiments have been made to ascertain its strength when mixed with other matters, and also as to what pigments would mixed with it without rendering it brittle ; from which it appeared, that the only pigments that could altogether be relied on were orange lead, rase pink, red lead, vermilion, I)utch pink, yellow ochre, and orange chrome. Under the Whim at , f twat and pressure, gutta percha would spread to a n rtain extent, and more so, if mixed with nireign matters • and all the mixtures composed of gutta perch a and other s ubstances which had been subjected to experiments. except that eont .ining plumba.m, we re found to increase its power of conducting heat; but in its pure state gutta pe rcha was an excellent non c inductor of electricity. The best composition for increasing the pliability of gutta percha was that with ceoutchouc tar, and next in order that of its own tar; and the nest material at ',resent known fur mounting and emboeing was obmined by mixing gutta p• mho with iis own tar and lampblack. Mr. \Vhishaw next descrilsed the process of manutact uring gutta percha. It is reduced to pulp by masticating 'maim's, as the materials for paper are treated. It is purified with water, and pressed into sheets by rollers. Its property •4 becoming plastic by immersion in hot water is well known. YV St IiMAIIINH TELLORAPH.-Mr. Wishaw also exhibited the gutta pi teha maim-acme rope or telegraph, which con• si‘ted of a tube perforated longitudinally, tor the conveyance of teltgrophic wire,, aid which, for the purpose of prevent. lag its being acted upon by sea wear or marine insects, was banded or braided round by small rope, and, being , perfectly pliable, could easily be conveyed along the bottom of deep water. IMPROVEMENTS IN STEAM NAVIGATION.—Mr. J. Scott Russell then •ernceeded to describe the improvements that had been made in steam navigation, which he . xplained by sppropriate diagrams. The first great improvement was in the boilers. Formerly the flues were construe cd of crest length, so that the smoke was kept winding round and round, and at last was allowed to escape with difficulty. Now, however, they had adopted the plan of getting as much fire as possible in the shortest possible space of time, and this had been accomplished by imitating, as nearly as they could, the locomotive engine boiler, by having tubes of thin metal, which would evaporate a much greater quantity of water in the same time, that, flues of thb usual thickness. Now, also, instead of tekiog the smoke a long dance, as formerly, they use short flues of four or six feet in length, sod by having a great many of them, sad of as thin metal as possible, they heated the greatest quantity of water, and had the additional advantage of keeping the metal cooler, and thus a boiler of smaller extent and surface was of mach greater efficiency with less weight of metal. The next improvement was in the engine. The beam engine was changed for the direct action engine, which was of various kinds • hut the greatest change which ad been made within the last ten years, eeneacted in the employment of greater quantities of wrought iron in the construction of the engines, instead of the mass of cat-iron formerly used. The paper also de. scribed the improvements that bad been made in the paddle-wheels, the changes in the shape of the steam-Twat itself, and other improvements connected with this important subje et. GEOLOGICAL SECTION.-8011TH WALES COAL-FIELD The subject of the great coal-field of South Wales attracted marked retention. The geotleman selected to deliver an address to the geologkal section on this surject was W. P. Struve, Eeq., cis il engineer, of Seances. The subject taken b him was the line of the mineral basin of South Wales, extenling from New bridge, in Le Taff Valley, to C. fyn Byrn, in Orme r, which comprises the whole of the extensive district between the Vale of Taff and Carmarthen Bay, including Glamorganehire and portions of the counties of Carmarthen and Brecon, occupying an ores of about .`,60 square mile s. This district is intersected by six principal valleys, with canal or railway adjuncts which convey its produce to the ports of Swansea, Ltanelly, Neath, Cardiff, Porthcewl, and Port Trlbot. The base of the coal measures .in thls extensive district is carboniferous limestooe, basin-shaped, and having a rise from its centre towards the north and south. The lecturer, who illustrated his views by diaerams, described specifi• ally the various properties of different sections of this extensive coal-field, into which it is needless I.ere to follow him. The amount of mineral wealth appe ors to b • enormous. The various " coal in *surer.," as they are call. d here, exeend over 400 square miles; and the produce mcy be guessed at, it it is calculated tr.et in one district alone one square mile will produce 40.000,000 tons of coal, besides 8,000,000 tons of mine, and 3,000,000 tons of black hand. The coo!, produced, of creme, vary in quality. W. ha Is the bituminous coal, the freesAuming cost, cube, anthra citic colas, and meth' a, ite, of which the two former occupy the largest portion of the coal-field. The anthracite makes Beek rather more prominent in Carmarthenshire; end e n ar riving'in Pembrokeshire it is found that the whole field par takes of that quality.

It is well known that is the usual Daguerr. otype process, the image impressed on the silver plat• in the camera is invisible until the vapours of mercury have been condensed upon it ; but it has been ussertained that the red, orange, and yellow rays will pro- duce the s :me effect es mercury vapour in brining out the picture after some exposure to their influence. A plate on which the light has impinged for a very short time may have the picture fully developed by subsequent exposure to red rays, and those rays considerably accelerate the pro c. as of taking picture a, e r that if the means of rendering an iodised plate more sensitive by means of bromine had not been discovered, portraits might have been taken with iodised plates by using the accelerating power of the red rays. A very remarkab:e distinction exists between the ffect of the reel, orange, and yellow rays on iodised plates, and en those that see bromo-iodised. When a plate pre pared with iodine alone is teken from the camera, and• exposed to the ection of red light, the impressions made ley the object in the locus in the camera are continued• and an orherwise faint lecture is re teetered strong ; but when a plate prepared with bromine in addition to iodine is similarly treat. d, the inter , ssion of the imme is destroyed. M Claudet stated that the effect of light on a brows indistel plate is so instantaneous. that in the thousandth part of a second be bad found an impre-sion produced. Mr. R. Hunt, at the conclusion of M. Claudette paper, stated the results of some investigations on the same subject, which had led him to the singular conclusion that light was nothing to do with producing Daguerreotype pictures. He said that he had not intended to bring the subject forward at this meeting, as he is still pursuing his investigations, but he was induced by M. Claudette paper briefly to mention some of the facts. He produced some images of the sun, taken by M. Claudet during a fog, which presented the curious appearance of a block sun in a grey coloured sky. An image of the spectrum was also shown, in which all the most luminous bands, the red, the orange, and the yellow, were almost back, and the parts where the greatest action bad taken place were in the blue and violet, and on a large space beyond the visible rays. When acting with cslotype paper, the effects are still more remarkable. On exposing a sensitively prepared paper to the spectrum, all parts of the paper were blackened, excepting that whereon the spectrum was received, and thus it appeared that the spectrum had effectually protected the paper from the action of light. Mr. Hunt said he of fered no explanation of these facts, but he should be pre pared at the next meeting to enter into the subject more fully. —Professor Grove obseived that it seemed not improbable light produced very different effects on the visual organs of different animals, and be conceived that what is light to the eyes of one animal might be darkness to the eyes of another. LIEC T.

THE ANTI-CHOLERA CLAUere—The Lancet of Sa turday says :—" a few days the Health of Towns Bid will doubtless he the law of the land. It will be remarkable u. the first great sanitary enactment which this country has ever produced; and we must wait to see it write its own results in the registry at deaths, that being the true place to look for the truits of a health hill. In the neat Session, sanitary reform will again occupy a prominent position in parliament, and it will probably be pushed in directions which have as yet escaped the 'unitarians. The medical profession will, in the meantime, become ac quainted with the practical working of this bill, and they will, we trust, be prepared to take a far more decisive po sition respecting this mnmentous question than they have yet USUMed. If sanitary measures are to be what their name implicit, they must, in the end, come to be a province of medicine, and be administered by medical heads and hands. Upon this point we would, if possible, fasts n the mind of every member of the profession. The fol lowing is the clause of the bill which is intended to be brought to bear against cholera, and the capability of its practical aj plicatien will probably depend upon the rapidity of its advance. At present this is such as to render it im perative that no time should be lost. The pestilence now threaten s the Continent in one immense column, extending from Norway to the Nile. Radiating in its uterine, from Asia, it ban now involved both the continents of Europe and Africa in its route. We have no doubt this hovering pl.t.•. has shortened many a parliamentary discussion, and recon ciled many an uneasy member to distasteful elation in Lord Morpeth's measure. Wh. n the s. mien has ended the wo. k of others, we fear the labour of Lord Morpeth will but have begun. We shall be happy to prove our vaticinations incor rect, but our forebndings are gloomy; and we only trust that ' dearth may not add the miseries of general want to the train f pestilence : ' And be it t nacted that, from time to time after the passing of this act, upon the petition of not lets than one-teeth of the inhabitants rated to the relief of the poor of any city, town, borough, parish, or place, having a known or defined boundary, not being less than thirty in the whole, or w here it shall app• ar that the pro rtion of deaths in any city, town, borough, parish, or place, f rom typhus fever, diarrhce I, searlatina, or other febrile epidemic, endemic, and contagions diseases claimed in the registrar-gt neral's returns as eymotic, have, on the ge of three years previously to obtaining such return, exceeded the proportion of 20 per cent. of the total deaths, of have exceeded the average rate of deaths front such cause s, either in the repistretion districts which include other towns or places in the same county, or the general average rates of such deaths in the registration dis trict., including other towns in the whole kingdom, a• shown by any returns mad' or to be mad by the registrar-general, the 0.-neral Bourd t f Health may, it and when they shall think fit, direct a superintending inspector to visit such city, town, borough, parish, or place, and to make public inquiry, and to examine witnesses, as to the sewerage. drainage, and supply of wan r, the state of the burial-grounds. the number and sanitary condition of the inhabitants, and as to any local acts of parliament in force within such city, town, borough, parish, or place, for paving lighting, clealaing, watching, regulating, supplying with water, or improving the Fame, or having relation to the purpo-es of this act; also as to the natural drainage areas. and the existing municipal, parochial, or oth. r local bcundaries, and toe boundaries which may be most advantageously adopted for the purposes of this act, and as to any other matters in respect whereof the said board may desire to be informed, fur the purpose of enabling them to judge of the propriety of reporting to her Majesty, or making a previsional order, as hereinafter mentioned.' ALLEGED MURDER BY IRISH LABOUREhS.—A few nights since, a party of Eneish atd Irish labourers were drinking in front at the bar of the Plouseh public-house, St. Altrins, Whilst so doing, a man named Fi. Id, who was in the house, attempted to pus through the passage, hut was ur.able to do so. He then made use of some insulting language towards the Irishmen, and nesting accused them of stopping up the passage, left the house. About ten minutes afterwards the Irish went into one of the rooms of the public house, g..ve a wild scream, and took up the tenets, shovel, sad poker, with which they attacked the English labourers, knocking down every man who came near them. The demeese.l, a quiet, inoffensive . man, named Edward Swaine, who was sitting over his mug of beer, was struck over the bead with the tongs, until the blood gushed forth; his teeth were knocked out, his eyes were blackened, and his face fearfully disfigured. His son was also dreadfully maltreated. The Irishmen, atter this outrage. started off. The deceased was removed to his home, where he died. Mrs. Day, the wife of the farmer who had employed the Irishmen, stated that on the night the deceased was injured the Irishmen came and knocked her up, and asked for the money owing them for reaping, alleging as an excuse for coming at such an unseasonable hour, that they were afraid to come to work again, fee they had been threatened by the English. Having received their money, they . went away, and bad not since been heard of. An Inquest was held, and the coroner said, that if the in quiry was adjourned fir a few days, the police might be able during the interval to apprehend the men. The inquiry was there ore adjourned till Wt-dneaday next. The deceased was forty-five years of age, and has left seven children to =lure his loss. COMMERCIAL 4 MA RIC T.S.E M ( /NM' MAHKI3T & CITY INT FL T. I(3 (F. Two o'Clork.—As was to be expected, the extremely unpromising aspect of the weather has had a de gree of intlut nee upon the corn market, where wheat is quoted some lour shillings in advance. Under the circumstances, however, and with a day cer- . , . tainly as cheerless as could well be imagined, such a rise in price cannot be regarded as immoderate or extraordinary, but, on the contrary, its comparative unimportance testifies the little spirit of speculation which now exists in Mark-lane, where the disasters of last year arc still too fresh in remembrance. Con sols, as a sort of understood rule, should decline in price as corn advances ; but although they opened ' rather below the closing rates of Saturday, they subsequently recovered all the difference, and are now a shade better than before,' .at 861 to i both for money and time.

BEDFORD, August 12.—There was but a thin attendance of farmers present at market today, and the nt:ow of Wheat not extensive, but equal to the demand ; the p•ice • chute lowe• than the last market, with very F ull Pale. Barley was something dearer, and less doing with it. Beans, Pea., and Oats : The trade dull, at our previous quotations. There was new Wheat offering to-day', and the quality good : Fold at 31s. 6a.; picked old Wheat made from 265. to 33a. Beans, 241. Peas, new, 2.35. 6d. per load of tire bushel. Barley, 275. to 345.

There was no alteration in the price of Barley and Oats, although the quantity bri.ught forward was small. We quote price. as follows: Wheat, white, new and old, 211. 6d. to 225.

CHELMSFORD, August 11.—In consequence of harvest operations there was a thin attendance at market to-day, and the weather being unsettled, made the sellers unwilling to accept a decline. Good Wheat about maintained last week's prices ; inferior sorts, Is. luwer. There were a few samples of new Wheat at market ; the quality fair, but the condition in moat instances poor. Spring Corn, but little offering. White Peas and Beans rather dearer. CULCHUTER, August 12.—About ten days age Wheat harvest became general in this district; the weathersincc has es n unsettled—yet, ;minim the sixth of the crop has been stacked ; bu• much of it in such condition as not to be for the present available. Potatoes hays become worse daily—par ticularly so during the last three or lour days. The Barley crop on li,cht roils has profited by the late showery weather, and, us • whole promises fairly; but the most forward is not yet fit for harvest. Beets are proceeding favour ably to maturity. Pees yield well; hut most of them remain abroad, sad, in consequence, arc soft and occasionally sprouted. White Cloverseed, of which little is produced here this season, is foul and discoloured. lied Clovers do not promise to make much seed; the picket is too thirds cdi the ground. Many pieces kit for set d will now be fed off, or with suitable weather be made into stover. Trefoil seed was well secured, and yields a good quantity, of fins quality. A lew samples of new Wheat are to-day cn offer but they are in general unfit for grinding r r shipping. Old Wheat is in mederato supply at ail the markets this week, and the price of 621 be, rid, is 635. to 54 . f.0.b.; and white 3s. to Gs. more. The stocas of Wheat and Flour in the mil lers' hands are unusually light, while there is a heavy con ', sumptiee demand for the latter article, at advancing rates. DLOVCESTSII, August 12. -With a large supply of English Wheat at our market this day, and the weather wearing an improved aspect, the trade was sluggish at a deeine of Is. per qr. For foreign, holders dons, ded last week's prices, whim millers were unwilling to pay, and but few sales were effected.

One new sample realised 60F.; old, 62s ; red, 561. MANCHE/APR, August 12.-The weather during the week has been showery and variable; and though no decided in jury can yet be done, it appears by reports from the agricul tural diericts that little progress has yet been made in har vest work. The potato blight seems to be increasing in virulence in all quarters of the kingdom. The trade during the week has been steady at late rates, with fair demand for current consumption ; the same has been the case at Liver pool and Wakefield. To-day the weather bears an improved sigma. Our market is slow for every article, but we do not see reason to alter the currency of our last in any particular. Current rate , : Wheat, per bushel of 701b5., English, white, Bs. 62. to Ss. 42. ; red, 7a. 6d. to 7s. Bd.; Irish white, 71.8 d. toBs.; red, 7a. 6d. to 7s. Bd.

NEWCASTLE.ON-TTNE, August 12.-The trade during the present week has ruled extremely firm, and a fair busi ness has been done in Wheat at extreme rates, whilst Flour has commanded an advance of Is. per sack, other articles at the same time commanoing rather more attention at rathe over our previous currency. At our market this morning we had a better supply of Wheat from the growets, hut, having very little on sole either from the coast or abroad, fresh thrashed samples were taken off pretty readily, at an advance of Is. per qr., and where:last week's prices were accepted for s.uth country or for,ign, a good clearance was made. Choice Rostock was in demand, at 48s. ; Slertin and Pomeranian at 565. to 575.; and Danish at 535. to 555. per qr., all weighed 631bs. per bushel. Flour by reason of it. scarcity, must be again quoted Is. dearer, extra households being saleable at 394. 6d. to 40s. ; whites at pro portionate r..tes. Rye continues to be held with much firmness, but the demand is limited. Grinding Barley in lively request, at 275. to 295., according to quality. Malt unaltered. In Beans and Peas rather more stirring. Oats being in moderate supply, Fold freely, at an improveny:nt of Is. to ts. per qr., choice Scotch being at the same time as much dearer, such qualities being now worth 255. to '26s. per qr., weighing 4211,e. to 43.1 e. per bushel. The best .orcign made Is. more money where sales were eff, cted, but in a general way they were held for a greater advance, which had the effect of checking business. The duty on Barley, Rye, B. ens, and Peas has severally advanced 6d. per qr., the rates now paying being 34. per qr. respectively.

Wheat sold at tact week's prices; no other grain offering. NORWICH, August 12,-Our market was hut scantily sup plied with W heat to-day, and the demand fair, but pur chasers were unwilling to make advances on last Saturday's prices, and not much business w.a transacted, and prices ruled say Is. per qr. in advance. For fine household Flour there was a lair demand, and 6.1. per sack more money was obtained, .A. few samples °DI of new Wheat were offered for sale, and those that were dry commanded say 505. to 525, per qr. 621 b.
