Of the Li:7.U, I :peak with great delicacy, seeing the generous reception she has given to the congress; but, deeply interested as I am in her welfare, I should rejoice to me her take po-seetion of the benefits and prosperities that mast arise to her ie a financial point of view ' as well as in other respects, by adopting an opposite curse to that which she has hitherto done in respect of military ntablishments. I acknowledge I tremble for her if she persists in the plan hitherto pursued. In respect of my own country, I more boldly assert that it is my judgment that, unless she wholly alters her course in them respects, bankruptcy will ultimately be the result. We have spent from fiteen ti twenty eafilions sterling per aenum fur warlike purposes sines the peso. of 1815. Had that money been applied to the discharge of the national debt, by this time it would have been nearly anni hilated; but, it our military expenditure be persisted Inn and no reduction of our national debt take place at a period of our history certainly chaescterised by very fair prosperity and general political aim, how is it to be expected that the amount of re venue will be maintained in a time of adver sity, which we must from time to time anticipate, in our future history ? 6hLuld suck adversity tome up,n us, I venture to predict that our revenue will not be maintained, nor the divideni.s p.id, unless more efficient steps be taken to prevent such a catastrophe in these days of prospetity and peace.

THE WEATRE3 AND TILE CROPS. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. CAMBILIDOISHIRIL NEICSBOURIIOOD OP ELY, ArM 23.—We are now fairly in the midst of a late harvest, mu a te.^:ere'u:y Goriest M2iii: u CZ; Mops may be hazarded. Tree wheats generally cut up bulky bat are not heavy, owing t. the quality being inferior. In the fens there is a great deal of blight, all the delicate sorts of wheat, including all the white varieties, dying very unkindly, with a large proportion of shrivelled kernels. On our rioter len soils the white wheats usually give the beet return, but this year and last they decidedly fail, owing no doubt to the cold ungenial springs. The coarser descriptions of wheat, such as Spalding., have the advantage this year. There will be a great quantity of tail corn, the general average quaky of our ten wheat befog very indifferent. The oat crop promises to be of a bettor quality than the wheat, and about an average quantity per acre, but the breadth sown la less than usual, the cultivation of ibis grain In the fens evidently decreasing every year. Barley has mull improved, but is scarcely an average crop. Beene are not so good as at one time expected, but ate bee yoad an average of the last 'our or flee years. Peas are d.ddedly goo hereabouts. The weather was rather threat ening at the commencement of harvest, but the last few days have been 800 and warm, but cloudy, without wind, consequently little or no progress has yet bean made in cart liearr SURELY, Aro. 25.—Harvest operations ere here in full activity, and, owing to favourable weather during the past week, have progressed Conl'•derably. The greeter pro portion of wheat has been already carried, but in some die triple the red has been left as yet in the fields to become thoroughly dg.( base ant whilst somewhat green) and to dry, ithavlog been drenched by several heavy Maeder showers, which fell before last Saturday week, but which dad no damage. With a continuance of the present fair weather, this will be housed benne the midile of next week. The yield is anticipated to be more than an average, and the quality is spoken of through this locality as exceedingly. good. The barley and oat crops are for the most part thin is this district, and will scarcely prove an average ; Want are also of but middling quality and quantity ; turnips are a partial cros, the white, doing better than the swedes, which have suffered in some places from fly and blight.

Haynau were on the 18th still at Temesvar, those of Jellachich at Uj-pers. Arad was occupied by the first corps of Bchlick, which had thrown out a strong advanced post to wards Lippe, and was in communication wiiiiVilagoe, where the Rarsian army corm commanded by Geo. Rudiger, was encamped, having been joined again by the division of Gen. Paniutine. The reserve corps, the Walmsden cavalry, and the third corps, all under Prince Fritz Lichtenstein, had advanced to Logos, on the way to Transylvania, and there split into two columns, one of which marched to Facsit, while the other, much stronger, took the road to Cavansebei, whither the Hun garian forces, under Vecsey and Guyon had re treated on their way to Orsowa. The second corps, before Comoro, had, on the 20th, reached the heights above Ace, a nd re-established communication with Stuhlweiesenburg, which was entered on the 18 , h without resistance, by the brigade of Jablonowaki. Couriers horn Temeavar have already reached Vienna by this road. Raab is occupied by the brigade of Teuchest, while the brigade of Melzer is advancing from Janoehaza towards Sameg, dispersing the single bands of insurgents which yet show themselves here and there, and take refuge in the Bakony wood. The troops of Klapka have retired to Comorn. Tbeir commander proposed an armistice till he should re ceive confirmation of the surrender of Gorgey. The Russian colonel, 'macaw, had been at Comorn. The weather seems inclined to be unpropitious to the enjoyments prepared to the members of the Peace Congress by MM. de Tocqueville and Lacrosse. T. waterworks of Versailles and St. Cloud, which are to play to-day for their special benefit, are very b,autiful, but the addition of the natural waterworks of Maven will not lead to additional enjoyment of them. _ PARIS, duo. 37.

The National announce , s this morning that the president of the republic has asked and obtained the hand of his 'main, the daughter of the Queen of Sweden. Matters are not, however, no far advanced as the French journal would lead people to believe. There is no doubt that Louis Napoleon has rooked, and that negotiations are going on to obtain, the hand of a lady who would bring a dowry of four millions of francs, but nothing has been concluded as yet. The attempt to obtain a Wurtemb. rg price'ss failed, and this second attempt may fail also, and visions of con nubial happiness vanish further in the perspective. In either of these channels, whether through Wur temherg or through Sweden, the Russian sword weighs down the balance, and it becomes daily more evident how devoted to Ramis the president and his immediate entourage have become. It is well known, and has been said in this correspondence, that General Lawtoriciere witted, in his official capacity, at a grand review and cere monial in commemoration of the surrender of Gorgey. This mark of sympathy has not been held sufficitut, and an autograph letter of the president's, congratu lating the Emperor of Russia on his success, was sent off yesterday from the Elysee, the bearer being M. Fialin do Persigny—one of the most reactionary councillors of Louis Napoleon, whom he unceasingly pushes on to the empire. That Franco should have refused her support to Hungary is easily ex plained when we see the esgerness with which every occasion is taken to flatter the Emperor Nicholas. Tne Opinion. Publique quotes a tool, which charac terises curtly, but well, the conduct of the govern. ment, which has last issued from the revolution of February, "Louis the XV. is absolved." As it was with Poland so it is now with Hungary, and already one can see that the Hungarian struggle again be characterised as a Polish one by the friends of Austria, who pretend to see the result in the sur render of Gorgey, the pure Hungarian, whilst Dem bit ski and Hem, both Poles, still hold out. Until the motives of Gorgey's surrender are more clearly de fined, it is useless to make deductions which would probably be ill-founded. Meanwhile the position of Count Telcki, who is now in Paris, is most awkward, for he is the accredited agent of a power which, it is feared, no longer exists, and it is impassible to say at this moment whether he is a plenipotentiary or an exile. The AssembleeNationale and CburrierFrancaia, both the determined opponents of M. Dut:ure, have been the journals that daily threatened a ministeri .1 change. Two days ago the former announced a Mole ministry, of which it gave the names. Yesteiday the latter said that the Mole ministry would be inaugurated at the meeting of the Assembly in October. Toe Condi Cu- Gonne! yesterday denied any change in the cabinet, and to-day returns to the charge in a lively and well written article, in which it smite by showing that French journalism is principally given up to polemics, without which it wculd cot live. English journals give facts in great quantity ; but the French consider these as secondary matters. The result is that when there is nothing to argue upon the French journals invent. Hence lists of impossible ministers, whose names are uverally discussed with the greatest gravity. The Curatitutionriel concludes by advising the public not to mind the thousand and one imaginary facts, on which they ate daily fed by a certatn press. It is quite proved that too mach poli cal discussion goes on in France, and that it would be much better if journalists themselves wou".d take on themselves to be more silent some time s, and trust to those whose duty it is to watch against danger, to keep them in peace. Let them confide more in the powers that be— in the commission of 25—0h0 if it were not an offensive competition might well be likened to the geese in the capitol who gave the alarm when the enemy appro .ches. The words of the Abbe Deguerry at the Peace Congress have caused a storm against him in the reli gious press, to which be answers in the Prune to day. The expressions which are taken up against him are where he said that he wanted no restoration by the foreigner, no revolution by the foreigner. The following letter from Samuel Gurney, Esq., was adverted to in the Pew* Congress on Friday. The letter is addressed to Joseph &urge, Esq.: Leaden, mo. 23, 1649. My dear friend,—l iteline through thee to express my warm intermit in the convention now being held in Paris to promote peace and good-will upon the earth, and the pre vertices of war and its consequesces, bloodshed, cruelty, misery, and she. I trust the convention will adopt the prin ciple that all war is i. eminent with the benign doctrines of Christianity. .No one will deny that the blessed state of peace radiated is the Scriptures will be bestowed upon the world through the nudism of Christianity carried out into practice in its perfeethess If so, ea any step, however smell towards so great sa end be based otherwise than on wisdom and sound p licy 1 Permit me so cell thy attention to the standing armies and navies of the nations of Europe. I trust the congress will ems to some strong resolu.ion on the subject. The argument that one nation must pursue the pee se e breams another de es, is fellscions—nutusl agree ment le dm emetrary destroys the ergenter.t, if there be any hem le it. I venture to throw before thm, however, some coesiderations on the subject, on grounds undoubtedly p lineal but certainly consistent with Chrician propriety. In round numbers, I presume that not far short of two ',Whore of the inhabitants of Barops in the rime awl strength of their lives have been abstracted from useful and productive labour, and are neade consumers only of the good onto of the Almighty and of national wealth. Tao scot of the maintenance of these armies and navies c ennot be very much less than two hundred indlions of pound sterling per animas, taking into consideration the subject in all its c Castel bemuses; at least it mast amount to an enormous sum.

HEWS AND BED; FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.— This society, which has recently been established to aid the I County of Hulked R•torea Society in increasing the eon- ' etLuency fur Hertiordsidre and Bedfordshire, has already held meetings at Luton and Dunstable, in Bedfordshire, at ' which places the names of several members were enrolled, and on Friday evening !set the society held its first meeting in Hertfordshire, at the little border town of Markyate atreet, the chair being taken by Mr. Shemeld,_ one of the moat respectable inhabitants of the place. Mr. Tansley, the secretary of the Luton Reform Society, called the attention of the meeting to the no: atisfactory proceedings of the govern ment and the peril meet of this country, and pointed out the importer ce of teaching the duties of citizenship to every member of the community, in cedar that the whole commu nity night join in insisting upon a change for the better being made. He referred stigma: length to the proceedings of the Birmingham Freehold Land Society, and called upon the meeting to :ollow the noble example thus set them by the working men of the Midland counties. Mr. Bouteme, tear seereter) of the Hertford Reform Society, and also of the Herta and Beds Freehold Land Society, stated that the counties of fleet ord and Bedford contained abrut 6 , 5,000 adult male person+, while only the names of sbnut 8,000 were upon the regiqers of voters for both coun ties. He explained that the land society had been formed to attempt to put an end to this government by so small a minority, sod to substitute the government by the majority, or, at all events, by a minority greatly increased in numb, r. He then gave the meeting a sketch of the leading rules of the society, gni replied to the various questions that were proposed. The chairman expressed his approval of the society, and declared his intention to become a member of the society, and also its agent fur the town and neighbour hood. The committee are proceeding with the appoint ments of agents in all the towns of the two counties, and further muting, will be called immediately after harvest. CHOLERA.—MERTHYR.—The progress towards coo valeect =e evidenced by returns from this district still goes on. It is to be hoped that a very few days will witness the depar turei, of an epidemic which has been unsparing in its w ipers, and has committed the most fearful devastation. he (allowing are the numbers for Sunday last :—Merthyr : ew ca...s, 11 ; deaths, 2. Penydarran: New MOP, I ; deaths, 2; Daniels: New cases, 2; deaths 1. Aberdare: Ness , eases, 0; death., 0. Total.—New cases, 14; deaths, 6. , This must be regarded as a most cheering return as con , treated with nearly all these which have preceded it. Choucsersasumn.—Tte weather during the put week has been highly propitious for harvest operations, and a great breadth of grain, chiefly wheat and beans, ht. been reap.d in this and adjoiting counties. The yield of wheat is perhaps not quite so plentiful as had been predicted, but there is still above an ge eror, and with the continuance of the present fine weather the harvest must he a high') satisfactory one. The potato disease has not increased, but rill rumours of its typhusw in different parts are current. It is said that in some instances the beans are affected with a disease similar to that in thr potato.—Gloucester Chronicle. BnOxissisamentss.—A great deal of wheat has been tarried in this neighbourhood during the put week in very goon cow :Won. The general opinion is that there will be lair average crops, and in some instances it will exceed the ge. Peas also promise an abundant crop. Lent corn runs generally abort on sc.:cunt of the long draught. A grant deal of the corn In our locality has been got in in very good order. The potatoes at previa turn out well, with very alight aymptums of the disease in few places, but generally it is scarcely worthy of obeervation.—Bucks Herald. ---- BISISHIRE.—The weather, which has been entirely fa vourable during the week, has i enabled the mriculturists to get in the greater part of the wheat crop iu this neighbour hood. Tie yield will be very considerably aboss that of last year, and on many farms it 18 as good a crop as hes bees reaped for many )eats past. Ti.. markets are but scantily supplied at peasant, and priers are fairly maintained, but a change may be expected in September ; large supplies and dull markets.—Berks Chronicle. MONXOUTliblilll3.—Nothivg can be more cheering than the harvest appearance generally throughout this district, both as to quantity and quality. The most practised fai nters pronounce the wheat crop a full average ; though de ficient on the clay soil, the lighter roil pun-ruing rather above an average. The barley upon light land is good, but , upon the heavy groan ait is ;stint interior. Oats and be .ns are fair. Some indications of tho pnato rot have alarmed people in a few places, but it is gratifying that the disease does not make its appearance until a 'math or five weeks later than in the preceding years. The hay crops are rather short, but the early Swedes are remarkably &red.—Mon mouth Merlin. Yonnsuirtn.—We bear from all parts of the county that the cr.- pa are tucking exceeding well, that in many places they will be above an average produce, and that harvest is becoming general. Already the harvesters are in busy operation in the more forward localities of this county. The general accounts from all parts concur in representing the yield apon the whole es uncommonly heavy. It is also re marked that nearly every description of grain and produce regimented ae alike good. Generally speaking there is no cuiplunt of the potato crop, which upon the whole is coming to market, thus rat, in a condition, both as to mean ness of quality and freedom from disease, surpassirg any thi.:g known tor several years past.— Yorkshire Gazette. CAPAARTHIN.—The weather this week has been very variable, but has altogether bees favourable fur harvest opera iloss, which have been carried on with great vigour. In many places the crop., which are more than usually heavy, have been harvested in good condition ; and should we be favoured wito warm weather for a couple of weeks er so longer, a very abundant harvest will have been secured. We have heard some few cues where the disease has appeared amongst the potatoes ; these, however, we are happy to say, are very refs.—Carmarthen Journal. CLIESMIRE.—The weather, says the Macclesfield Couri,r, has been somewhat of an autumnal character—blustering gales, and at times musing rains ; on the whole, however, we ought nut to complain. We are sorry to report the ex istence in some districts of the potato disuse again. From the circumstance, however, of such a great bre•.nth cf early kinds baying been planted much earlier than nand, we do not opine anything like the amount of mischief which oc curred in former yews. Barley and rye are in full cut, and the other cereals looking well. Oats are well " ragged," but the straw will be abort. Root crops good; a greater breadth of Seeds' has been planted after potatoes than usual. Pastures getting flush agile. OXtORDSHIRE —The harvest operations have been con tinued with unabated activity in our neighbourhood during Cue week, and the bulk of the cerea.s is burned, or stacked and thatched, and the " harvest home " cheer has even been heard. The weather has proved highly favourable for carrying, not half an inch of rain having fallen in the neigh• bourhood, during the last fortnight. The potatoes, we are much concerned to say, exhibit symptoms of disease in numerous plus.—Orford Journal. DERHIMMIIII —Large breadths of wheat, barley, and oats have been reaped ; and, with the present fine weather, .he crops will be secured in excellent condition. We receive from all quarters favourable accounts as to the quality of toe wheat crop. The grain is remarkably plump, will prove an =diens 'luny'', and be of great weight.—Derbyshire Courier. CIMIDERLAND.—A large quantity of grain of all kinds has been cut in this •ottuty outlaw the lest few days. Generally speaking, the early wheat is not a heavy crop, the tops of tee ears being without grab. ; the spring weather is almost uni formly fine. Berle; is live. Oats light ; but the quality of all will be first-rate, should the weather continue favcnrable for a fortnight or three weeks. We hear nothing of the potato Montle in this immediate neighbourhood ; bat the effect of the alarm is already seen in our market, where an iv,nee of Id. per stone took place on Wednesday lost.— Carlisle Patriot. Seortsorn.—The reports are of a favourable character. Tits Edinburgh Advertiser of Friday sass " Sines our last we have had favourable weather both for the ripening of the crops and the operations of harvest. In this district farmers are now constantly engaged in the harvest field, end prompt advantage has been taken of the warm, dry wee• her with which we have been favour: d. We have recently tra velled over several districts in the Lothians and the adjoining counties, and we are happy to rep •rt that in moat of th.m the harvest is in a stite of considerable forwardnesi. A few weeks of genial weatlyr would enable the farmer to store his crops in excellent condition, not only in this quartsr, but we believe almost throughout the while of Scotland." The present high temperature and bright sun bine, following upon the abundant moisture of the previous fortnight, have benefited the crops, particularly turnips and potatoes, greatly. The former, in this district, is uncommonly heavy for the season, and, as well as the potatoes, is likely to prove a very excellent crop. Altogetber, the harvest prospects are Eighly flattering, in every nape* but as regards prices.— Perth Courier. CHLORINE AS A SANITARY AGENT.—The following letter appears in the Bristol Journal :—" Sir,—l find it is c noidered needful to run off a quantity of water fr m the Floating Harbour for the purpose of scouring the mud !men Bathurst Basin ; and, in passing on Monday last, whilst this operation was going on, I was much annoy. d with the offensive exhalations given off, and I learned from the men employed that they frequently suffered from nausea occa sioned by their exposure to this atmosphere. I obtained permission to make an experiment the following day, to ascertain the effects which would be produc , d by chlorine gas mingling with this atmosphere, and I procured some of Collios' preparation of chlorine, or di-infectirg powder, from his agent, and caused it to be spread on the transoms of the lock-sates as the water was lowered preparatory to the scouring. The shuttles being then opened, an im mense volume of filthy water rushed from the basin into the harbour, and I had the satisfaction to find that the chlo rine gives off was amply sufficient to destroy all the offensive exhalations, as the only perceptible odour was a alight smell of chlorine, producing (ae was observed by several gentlemen present, as well as by Mr. Jennings, the superintendent of the scouring) sa atmosphere strikingly resembling that of the sa-coast. This resemblance rather took me by surprise, although I oultht to have anticipired it, as it is well known that free chlorine Is given off Irons fresh sea weed and other marine plants, and it has been thought that it is to the pre sence of this gin in minute quantity, the curative power exerted by sea air in many diseases is attributable." The letter is signed" in Retired Practitioner.—Blistni, Aug. 22." WESLEYAN METHODISM—A namber of trustees, leaders, stewards, local preachers, and other Ricers of the Wesleyan Methodist Semety, in the Bristal north and south circuits, have issued an address expressing stroag dissent against the expulsion of the authors of the " Fly Sheets" from the cinnexion. " The principle," they say, " upon which three devoted ministers of Christ have been ignomi niously expelled from the Wesleyan connexion, is an in fringement on our liberties as Englishmen, a violation of the spirit of Wesleyan methodism, as established by our vene rable founder, and an enactment unprecedented, except in the annals of a corrupt church." TUE EXPOSITION OP MANUFACTURES AT But- MINOELAM.—BIIIXINOHASI, MONDAY. Your readers in terested in the progress of art in connexion with manufac tures will be glad to learn that the exhibition emut to he opened hers, in connection with the meeting of the British Association, bids fair to be eventually suceesstul. The tem porary building erected for the accommodation of the col lection is a splendid and substantial one, and - bowies of a hall 124 feet in length, by 84 feet in wld:h ; a corridor 60 feetin length connects it with the dwelling house belonging to the grounds, eight or nine rooms of which will be used for the exhibition of practical industry, is shown in the Jacquard and Ribbon looms, and the process of lithography ; six of the large windows in the great hall are already filled with the stained glass of Hardmans, Chance, &c. ; the tables almost groan under the accumulated weight and bril liancy of the flint and coloured glees contributed by Richard sons, Harris, Bacchus, Lloyd, and Oilers, the latter of whcm s •nds • candelabra which in elegance far surpasses the cele brated one made by them for Ibrahim niche ; Copeland's table ware, statuettes, and slabs,also figure ins prominent manner. Mintons and the W,dgewoods are daily expected. Some ex quisite laces from Nottingham, ribbons from Coventry, car pets from Kidderminster, swell the list of contributions. The lamp-makers and brassfounders will send such a collec tion of objects as will at once prove that they are far above that kitdl of manufacture distinguished by the cognomen of " Brummagem." The superiorry of the electro metallur gical process will he proved to a demonstration by the bril liancy of Messes. Elkington's stalls. Lord Rosee's model of his leviathan telescope occupies, in common with the patent rotary engine of Davis, and an improved object of the same class by Edwards, a prominent position. Mr. Wyon, of the Royal Mist, has kindly lent the proof impressions of his medals. In papier =fiche the exhibition will be particularly rich. Some stoves, grates, fenders, and fire-irons, manufac tured by Marsh, of Dudley. the Coalbrockedale Company, /Mole, and S•ewart and Smiths, of Sheffield, justly excite admiration for their elegant appearance and finish. A very complete collection of agricultural implements, by ?dapple beck and Lowe, will be found useful to visitors en nerd in agricultural pursuits. Altogether we have little hesitation in saying, that a more complete exhibition of the kind has Lever been brought together in England. We can only hope that it will aid in the project of a great national exhibition at present being entertained, and form ing the ground work of a petition from the Society of Arts. The exhibition will he open to the public in a few days. SUICIDE IN A STATION-HOUSE.—By Mr. W. Carter, at the Marquis of Granby, Richmond, on the body of J.sseph T. Wheeler, aged 40. Tie deceased on Tuesday list was given into custody for stealing a washing-tub and jack towel. On the following morning deceased was discovered suspended by his braces to the bar over his cell, and quite dead. A paper was found in his cell, to the effect that he was in great trouble of mind from want of employment. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." MONEY MARKET. MONDAY ETININO. In the business on the Stock Exchange to-day there was no novelty of feature whatever, and the prices of the English funds suffered no variation. Consols (Timed and closed at 921 to 4, both for money and account. The Three per Cents. Reduced were marked at 03 and 921, and the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 934, and last at 94. Exchequer Bills were done as quoted on Saturday, 455. and 425. premium. Long Annuities, 30 years, expiring 1859, were taken at 81 and 11.16 ; ditto 30 years. 1860, at 8 11-16. Beek Stock, 1995.

In the fort ign house the operations were also un important, and comprised the following, which present little variation :—Brazilian Bonds, at 86.5 and 86 ; ditto,Small, at 83. Buenos Ayres, at 505 and 511. Equador, at 31. Mexican, ex coupon., fur account, at 271, 1, and I; ditto, small, at 28. Peruvian Four pit. Cents., 1849, at 535; ditto, Deferred, at 141 and 5.

Bank Shares, 1,160. Prussian Three-and-a-Halt per Cents. at 87 money. All the other securities of the South German eta'es had likewise improved. Commercial advice. from Rotterdam speak in favourab'e terms of the prospects for coffee, in which article several large transactions had taken place at improving rates. Sugar remained dull, and pur chasers appeared to be waiting the company's sales of 69,577 baskets Java, to take place on the 10th Sept. The unfavourable reports respecting the disease having shown itself in the potato plants, had caused a speculative demand for rice, and 18,500 bags, chiefly Arracan, were sold at 55f. In indigo the prices wire maintained, owing to the small quan tity announced for sale by the company. 1 obacco was without variation. A cargo of tea, direct from Canton, had been disposed of at full prices, with every appearance of a firm market being maintained, es the stork of good tea was very much dueed. Hides were looking up. The last arrivals of whale oil had been disposed of afloat, and 30f. were refitted by holders. In cotton there was not much doing, as holders asked better rates. Advice. from Hamburg, of the 24th, state that the prices of grain in general were too high to admit of opereions for export, and the sales bad referenco only to the demand for local consumption. The sales of coffee duri. g the week amounted to about 25,000 bags, at full prices, partly on speculation. Although the importations cf sugar were large the prices, ne vertheless, were maintained, especially for brown and yellow. The sales of hides amounted to 38,000. 300 tons spelter had realised, bunco marks, 95, and to arrive, 94 per 100 lbs. Exchange the same. At Berlin, oa the 23rd, there was not much doing in securiies, and the prices had given w,y a trifle. The voluntary loan was quoted 1041 hai)ers ; trea sury notes, 86 7-12 buyers ; Bank shares, 921 buyers. The grain market at Stettin on the 22nd wra without aftimation. The disease had shown itself amongst the growing potatoes to such an extent u to place beyond a doubt a considerable falling off in the crop. From Konigsberg, the complaints of the potato dis ease are very general, and the crop is in consequence likely to prove a very poor one, and although the harvest premised to be abundant, the prices of grain were nevertheless supported by the apprehebsione caused by the prevalence of that disease. The Board of Health at Lisbon has issued the fol lowing quarantibe notices—viz. : On the 6th inst., declaring 01 porta in Belgium, Leyden, Arnheim, and Groningen, in Holland, to he in fected ports. On the 10th, renewing an order of August 28, 1848, and another of Dee. 2, 1848, which declare—let. Par sengen sad live animals coming in 'dupe from suspected ports to be subieet to three days quarantine, and from infected ports to eight days' quarantine. 2nd. In either of the above eptedled cases, the cargoes, as also *ll other effects, will be subject to the sanitary measures previously established. On the 16th, declaring Gibraltar to be free from sue/ix:ion, and allowing fees Fatigue on vessels from thence. By the mail stt am ship, Cambria, we are put in passer ion of intelligence from the United Statts to the 14th, and from Hali/ax to the 17th, which is seven `days Wm than by the last packet. 1 At Boston the supply of flour wet; still lim'ted, gni . quotations had an unproved tendency. Salts had been made of Michigan and Genesee common brands at 5.373 dole. to 5.62# dole. Southern brands I ranged from 5.37,1 dole, to 5.75 dela. Meal was quoted at 3.25 dole. For corn there was a fair de mand, and the market is reported as steady. The Philadelphia Public Ledger says : Notwithstanding the partial failure of the wheat crop in Ohio and Indiana, it promises to he a full average one in the country. In our own states, Virginia, Maryland, and New York, the crop is large ; in Michigan and Illinois more than a full average, and in Upper Can id& also. The flour market at Philadelphia had been but: slightly affected by the last steamer's news from this country. The old stock was quoted at 4.31 dole. to 4.371 dole. ; feesh ground choice brands at 5 dole. to 5.121 dole. The receipts of wheat had been very light. The city of Baltimore remained perfectly free front the epidemic. During the week the only feature of the market was a demand for tobacco, and a conse quent improvement in the prices of that staple. In all other respects the week bad been a dull one. Fluur and meal, particularly, partook of the general depression, although the prices retrained pretty steady, and the beet brands bad realised 5 dole. 250. for new wheat flour. Rye flour was quoted at 3 doll erre with small sales, and corn meal 3 dole. 123 e. to 3 dole. 25c. The inspect. tons of wheat flour during the week amounted to 14,665 barrels. Tne prices of all denominations of grain were lower than at the dose of the previous week. In tobacco the transactions comprised nearly 2,000 hlide., the greater part of which were Maryland, the extremes 2 dol. and 2 dol. 75 e. The extremes for Ohio were 4 dal. and 11 dol. In freights there was nothing doing. The exchange on England had advanced to 81 to 9 per cent. premium for 60 days' sight—on Hamburg, 343 to 343 ; un Bremen, 731 to 78 • on Hollat.d, 391 to 40. I.etters from New Orleans to the sth state that the weather had continued variab'e and showery during the week, and the sanitary condition of the city quite as favourable as described in previous notices en the subject. The animation which had characterised the cotton market for several weeks past had sub,idtd, the sales for the week not exceed ing 700 bates. The into lligence with regard to the growing crop continued to be of an unfavourable ' character. The complaints relating to the injury • sustained ft om the remarkably wet and beckw ard see ' son, we are informed, were not confined to planters and the country press, but were fully confirmed by the re , ports c f intelligent and discriminating factors who had • visited various sections of the cotton-growing region. • The supply on hand was very light, amounttrg only • to 8,119 bales, and holders were consequently enabled, : even under the limited demand, ti maiutain extreme . __ _ rates. The receipts to date were 1,086,661 bales, agaicst 1,172,343 bales to same date last year. The quotations were, for inferior to good ordinary 61c. to tile. per lb. ; low middling to good middling 81 to 94; middling fair to fair, 9; to 101. The tobacco market had continued active during the week, the trans actions amounting to 3,350 hlids and making an aggregate for the last three weeks of 9,050 Mids. against teceipts during the same ptriod to therxtent of 5,432 hhds. Prices had exhibited but little variation, and quotations are marked the same as last mail, though the general tendency of the market had been to outside figures. The stock on hand was 18,826 hhds. In the exchange market there was no material alteration, both the supply and the demand continuing limited. Sterling was quoted Bto 91 per cent. pre mium, francs sf. 20c. to sf. 274 c. In freights no en gagement of interest had taken place. The rates were : for cotton to Liverpool, 1 to 5-163. per lb • for tobacco to London, 329. Gd. per Lhd., and to Liver pool, 301 t. Later acoounts by telegraph to the 9th state that on the 7th sales of 1,200 bales cotton took place at a further advance ; fair was quoted then at 11 cents. On the Bth the sales were small at a slight advance. Texas papers state that the heavy rains have done incalculable damage to the growing cotton crops, and that there will be an average half crop throughout the country. There had been a great overflow on the Red River, doing immense damage. It was feared the cotton crop in the valley would be totally de stroyed. From Canada the commercial news is entirely with out interest. The receipts of produce at Montreal up to the 3rd of August this year are as follows: mine, 13,646 barrels ; flour, 329,949 barrels ; wheat, 158,504 bushels; pork, 13,770 barrels; beef, 403 barrels; butter, 3,162 kegs; lard, 2,721 kegs; barley, 846 bushels; peas, 36,723 bushels; oatmeal, 6,130 bar rel. ; oats, 2,612 bushels ; corn, 35,729 bushels.
