The harvest of 1852 is likely to prove, in many parts of the United Kingdom, not so satisfactory as was at one period anticipated. The reason of this has become already sufficiently apparent. It will be remembered that before the commencement of August the crops bore every appearance (according to intel ligence received from various quarters) of being in quantity more plentiful and in quality more excellent than had been known for several years—tilee grain at that petiod rapidly approaching a state of maturity. Unfortunately, as events have turned out, it appears now to have been approaching maturity a great deal too fast under the circumstances. Everything indi cated at the time that fine weather had settled in for the autumnal season. Farmers began to congratulate themselves for once that "things were going to take a turn," as the homely phrase is, and at precisely the moment when their anticipations were brightest they were doomed to the severest disap pointment. There settled down upon the harvest fields, in quick succession, a throng of the most un lucky elemental influences—influences which, in too many cases, have proved to be of the most detrimental and pernicious character. First of all, the ripening of the wheat-crop, as already indicated, was " too rapid "—in several testances almost beyond prece dent. The result of this evil obviously was that the ears were filled but indifferently where the ripeness was premature. Then came black blight in some few ditections, but still in no case, we believe, sufficient to have materially deteriorated the quality, or con siderably diminished the quantity, of the whole cereal produce of the United Kingdom. Where upon, however, came down upon the corn fields the worst misfortune et bad yet befallen them this year—the heaviest calamity that at so late a period of the summercould have been anti cipated—the entire alteration in the weather. Sun shine disappeared wit h t h e closing days of July, and w ith August came rain cf the h eav i est and wind of the highest des cri p tion. The wh eat, be s id es b e i ng beaten abott until the stalks were broken and th e flow of sap thereby i nterru p ted, had to some extent the ripe grains shaken out and therefore lost be. yond redemption. Added to all which, in conse quence of the heavy moisture accompanied with a very sultry atmosphere, sprouting commenced in the ears before the c rops could be cut, and in this manner the excellence of the quality, which it was still hoped woull in some measure compensate for the dimitliticn in the quan tity, was withheld in the southern counties from much of the corn as well as barley. The account here given is gloomy enoug h, it must be admitted, beat it is gloomy only because coming to the public after so rceny br iisnt cod confident expectations. The actual crops will be indifferenl' when compared with those which were in Jane, and until the lest veoi. in July, anticipated. Bat, viewed apart from the hop thus ecerished by the more sanguine in regard to tiee harvest of 1852, we still b e li eve that they Will be found in the majority of instances above the average both in resie.ct to the excellence of the grain and its abundance . It must b e borne in recollection, moreover, in con nexion es ith the f v in oregoingstatementl that the deterio ration spok en consequence of the stormy weath er of August, furtunate Y' d l oes not appe ar t o h ave ex t en d e d very far northwards. Our good fellow-couneryrnen the agriculturists are, n evertheless— o f course—be ginning to grumble very audibly. They declare themzelves even now to b e fairly disheartened. They dou , c see what are to b e the results of the black the premature ripe n i ng, blight, th e b eat i ng out of the grain by the wind, and th e sprouting in th e ear produced by tle e rainy weather. E verything is evi dently, according to them, going to "rack a n d ruin"--the rack rent 3 ultimately, of cours e , i nto the bargain. Never were, say they, such calamities ' store for any claw as those menifestly preparing to descend in " one fon swoop" upon the unlucky heads of the agriculturists. a poor frc zen. out gardeners, familiar to family parties looking at the snow fa l l from the most comfortable side of the parlour- , einelows about the time of Christman, were nothing agriculturi s t s. to our brother - C i t izens the The last-mentioned are evidently looking (throughtut the whole of their lachrymose lamentations) to their " levir d friends" the Protec tionists, in the dew nouse-ef' N Commons. Like PAUL BeDFORD in The Willow Copse, they are prepared at any emergency to "slope after the brown" of a moderate fixed duty, say of seven, or even " the ridi culously small amount" of five shillings. In all of this, they prove themselves at least to be gentlemen gifted with very comprehensive i maginations. They S UN, have already cried " wolf." however, too frequently. Nobody believes them. For bankrupts they have the most unpitiable look of prosperity. Their burly frame no one can conceive to be stricken as they say—with paralysis. Their rubicund vsage and plump, not to say robustuous, dimensions, by no means corroborate their tale of weakness and ex haustion. They are not expiring as they fancy— they are only (in one sense) social, and another sense) very un-social bypocondriacs. Toey fancy themselves dying of inanition, when they are more likely to breathe their last from absolute plethora. At least the one extreme is more reasonable than the other—ani the country at large is pretty well tired out by this time with the exaggerated complaints of the agriculturists. Another consideration demonstrates tolerably well that the lamentations heard during the last week or fort night from the neighbourhood of Mark-lane h a ve been somewhat precipitate—and th a t consideration is simply that the crops are very far even now from wholly cut and housed. Such being the case, it is obviously impossible for the farmers to declare with any degree of precision that their losses are so and so —meaning enormous. Their tale is not told well. They should have waited. They should have Erst cut the grain, and then carried it, and then carted it, and possibly then thrashed it, and even winnowed it—before they ventured to tell the world the precise extent of its deterioration. Howbeit, their complaints have already been successful. During the last month there has been a total advance from the lowest point of fully from ss. to 6s. per quarter. Although t he we a t her since this rise has considerably improved, a still furth er a d vance i s talked of, and we fear not without probability. For August the imperial average of wheat was 41s. 2i. per quarter. Heaven knows what it will be in September A journalist has a great deal of labour for which his readers give him no credit. The heaps of letters be has to read—the crowds of newspapers he must wade through—th e var i ety of subjects be must choose between —th e quantities of authorities he must con sult,—these form an aggregate the reverse of pleasant, as we can vouch for. Among them the most weary ing is that inflicted on us at the arrival of every steamer from the United States, when we have to get through files of soft journals (soft in contents as well as texture), in the dreary hope, from columns of personalities and verbiage, of picking a com mon-sense idea of the actual transactions of which these journals profess to be the his torians. There are some honourable exceptions, we admit. The news portion of the New York Cou rier and Enquirer is plain, clear, and matter of fact. We may say the same of the New York Journal of Commerce, of some of the Philadelphia newspapers, and of the Boston Atlas. But, for the most part, there is more sound than sense in the American news papers, and we only wonder that, in a country where time seems to be such an object, that the inhabitants bolt their dinner in five and their breakfast in three minutes, some journalist has not conceived and car ried out the idea of digesting public intelligence into a brief space—packing into a single column what his contemporaries diffuse over many pa ges of mammoth sizes. Perhaps, however, the pecuiiir idiosyncracy of Brother Jonathan renders it neces sary, if not pleasant, to realizes, in the perusal of his journals, the popular pursuit embodied in the well known saying of " seeking a needle in a bundle of hay." There may be great gratification, albeit we know it not here, in searching for intelligence through great columns and pages of small type_ the very waste-lands of printed matter — and making much of the minute nondes cript, when found. We can fancy what an "Eureka" exulting arises in the mind of an American, when, after half a day's newspaper reading, he actually finds an item of plain intelligence ! No doubt, all the papers there, have such items—but they are so cornered up between crowds of words and heaps of personalities, that to find them is a matter of great difficulty. The American newspaper best known in England is the IVew York Herald, which has a circulation as large as its character is small. It professes to give, in its " Edition for Europe," a full digest of the week's intelligence. Accordingly, we have an immense number of taking heads, displayed in all varieties of type such as " The Senate Special Committee on Galphinism," —" More black mail transactions coming to light,"— " Whig and Democratic wire-pulling ire the free soil camp,"—" Great turn-out of the party,"—" Spi ritualists Convention,"—" The Administrative and the Peddling Politicians,"—" The Fourrierite Pha lanx,"—" The Fishery Troubles," and so on. Of all these catch-titles none is intelligible except the last. The opening one puts JOHNSON'S Dictionary at de fiance. What is GALPHANISM ? It must have some meaning, or it would not be used. Why not print a glossary, as has been suggested for Mr. CARLYLE'S Anglo-Germanized publications ? We fairly give up " Galphinism." As a specimen of Yankee reporting, let u s g l ance at an account (in the New York Herald of August 14) of " The National Free Soil Convention at Pitts burg." It was held to select candidates for the offices of President and Vice-President of the United States. The reporter says it was an immense " mass_ meeting," as consisting of two thousand persons — as man y filled about a third of Covent -garden Theatre, at one of the League meetings of 1844. This is American immen sity I The reporter, determined to be smart, adds— " There were white spirits, black spirits, blue spirits, red spirits, and grey spirits, including a number of ladies. There were representatives of all th e i sms and schisms under the sun. FRED. DOUGLASS occu pied a prominent place in the meeting, beside LEWIS TAPPIN of New York:=—Tnis is Mr. DOUGLASS, an escaped slave, who lectured in England a few years ago; Mr. TAPPIN is a well-known abolitionist. The Convention was opened with prayer, and (the reporter says) while this was going on, " a placard was b orne into the meeting with the following inscription : ' No compromise with Slaveholders or Dough Faces,' —this incid en t produced great cheering."— We re main ignorant whether they cheered for the hit at the "Dough Faces" (who can they be ?) or at the inter ruption to the prayer, which may have been too " lengthy" for the occasion.

This done, some business followed , "the mem b ers, b e f ore leaving the hall, called on FRED DOUGLASS t o a dd ress them, but he begged to be a as nd he had a l rea dy ma d e a excused, did' not thi n k long speech this afternoon, and it advisable further to tax la;s organs of speech 'n c this o e eae ion." The rea der of, and believer i n, 44 U NC LE TOM'S CABIN , " w ill find it difficult t o realize the idea of a black man b ein g able to make a speech, or of ( 1,. e dining to do 50 w h e n called on by " representa tivesth of all the isms and schisms under the min. „ However FRED. DOUGLASS would not speak. T hus closed the first day's proceedings. The second day, Aug. Was quite a field d a y. “ .1 Reports were read, rules frame d, speeches m a d e . Among the latter was a !onsitu.dinous effusion from a certain GER RE T T S M ITH, in which he spoke of the United States as "a superlatively guil ty nation"— partly because it legalised slavery, and partly because it was not yet "on the Jerry level." What this is we do not know, but the listeners did, it v-ems, for the reporter adds, " The cheering was loud and pro longed at the close of this speech, and it was evident that Mr. SMITH and his sentiments were highly popular with the majority of the audience. He has a fine commanding person, and deep, sono rous voice ; h e wore a bl ue coat, w i t h b ress buttons—just the same as P EED. DOUGLASS. " — To him responded JOSHUA It. GIDDINGS, who, says the reporter, "removed to a great extent the impres si en the re ,made by th e prev i cus spea k er. " Unfortunately porter has not mentioned the colour cf his coat. These two speeches occupied the day-sitting. In the evening session, a resolution was moved by 31r. TAP P' • M " at, as American slavery is a sin to GCD, and a Cr ; - me against man, it is in the highest sense invalid , illegal, not law either • divine or human - a void and of no force before rind is, therefore, utt er l y .l GOD and man ;" but N% • e are wholly unable to say, from repeated perusal of the proceedings, whether this was agreed to or not. So cle ar an d i n t e ll i gibl e is American reporting ! Trio adoption or rejection of the resolution, however, is of no importance in a country whose Declaration of Independence com mences by affirming that " all men are equal," and whose Legislature passes laws legalizing the kid napping of fugitive slaves ! One JOSEPH P. HALL was nominated f or P res . - dent, and GEORGE W. JULLIEN for Vice-President. Subsequently a " mass -meeting" was held, to ratify the election. There one Judge BISSETT, of Ohio, complained bitterly of a landlord, named SOWERBY, at Alliance, who had declined to sit down to table with " FRED. DOUGLASS," though that individual is "only half black"—and, of course, only semi-odorous. Then a Mr. ADDISON, of Ohio, exhibited a banner from the platform, handed about prospectuses of a new paper, to b e ca ll e d The Harpoon, and " con eluded by singing a free-soil song he had com posed (! !). The audience, however, seemed to have a greater relish for their dinner than for the vocal sweets of Mr. ADDISON, and the mass-meeting then adjourned, at one o'clock, till two o'clock. The celebrated Mrs. SWISSHELM was present during the forenoon. The greatest interest, and the most intense excitement, prevailed throughout the proceedings." It must have been a pleasant sight to see Mr. ADDISON with his banner and Harpoon, on the platform at a " mass meeting," with the CELEBRATED Mrs. SWISSHELM listening to the free-soil song "of his own com posing," which moved off the audience to dinner. But—who is Mrs. SWISSUELM, and for what is she " celebrated ?" Is she " one of the most remarkable women in the country ?" After dinner, there was a renewal of "the mass meeting ;" the reporter tells the world that "a great many ladies of all colours made their appearance, the blacks sitting among the whites, and presenting such beautiful contrasts as does ivory and ebony." This is American wit, not ours! At last "FRED. DOUGLASS made his appearance, upon which there were loud calls for him, while others called on the speaker to go on. A contention arose as to whether the black man or white man should have precedence. It was at length decided in favour of the black man, and several voices called upon him to speak from the middle of the room, that all might hear. Several voices cried out ho would make himself heard, and he proceeded to the platform with the air and swagger of a man who said to himself—' I'll make you all hear, and feel me too.' He wore white trowsers and a blue coat with brass buttons—indicative of the bronze in his face." The delicat e p o i gnancy o f t hi s r eporter ' a satire (so devoid of personality, too) is exquisite . DOUGLASS made his speech, by f ar th e b e st delivered at the Convention, and was " c h osen as on e of the rr manent secretaries in the nomi na ti ng co nvention, a s a finale. "At the mass-m ee ti ng i n Masonic Hall in the evening, a large number of ladies attended, as it was expected FRED. DOUGLASS would entertain them with his refined wit. He was introduced to several of them personally, and some were the prettiest girls in the city. They appeared to be in eestacies, but he would not make a speech for them." Here is one sample of American reporting—one specimen of the " needle in the bundle of straw" system of which the English readers of American papers may complain. In an " Edition for Europe," instead of eight small-print columns of low personalities, unmitigated vulgarity, and rho domontade spee c h es b y illustrious nobodies, it would have been suffi c i en t to have mentioned the feet that at a convention at Pittsburgh, HALL and JUL LIEN had been nominated for the offices of President and Vice-President of the United States, adding the reasons, from their public career and private character, why they were so selected. Nothing of this --nothing but a long-winded report, of no interest on this side the Atlantic. So with everything else—words, words, words—little meaning, and no clearness and conciseness of statement. And this is the reason why an English journalist really dreads the almost profit less labour of wading for news through American papers. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur announces that the ad interim ad ministration c 1 the departments of the Interior and of Finance, held by M. MAGNE and M. ABBATUCCT, in the absence of M. DE PERSIGNY and M. BINEAU, is at an end. The Illoniteur publishes a long table of regulations (in 45 articles) for the superintendence of sugar manufac tories, of the Government functionaries, and for the collection of the sugar duties, in accordance with the enact nents of the decree of March 27, 1852. By decrees of the PRESIDENT a credit of 550,000 f. is opened to the Minister of the Interior for the ex penses of thefite of the 15th August, and a credit of 40,000 f. for tiao expenses of the colours of the national guard. The Minister of the Interior, M. DE PERSIGNY, re turned to Paris from London on Th urs d ay. M. Br- NEAtr, the Mir ister.of Finan ces , h as also returned. The Pays contai ns an article pointing out the strange contradiction between the language now used by the Times :on French affairs, to that which appeared in that journeA on the Ist of December, 1851, on the very eve of thte 4 coup dieted. It says 6, W e yester day said that the English press, part of which now rep roach the President with so much violence and passion for the revolution of December, was the first, on the very evi i of the coup d'eteit which delivered France from the red ig;oectre, to advise him to renew the 18th Brumaire. W e find, in fact, in the Times of the tat of December, 185 1, which reached Paris on the very day when the prcc lamation of Louis Napoleon had just been posted on tho •walls, a complete and explicit approbation and absolution of this same act of patriotism and salva tion which aciv so warmly excites the anger and hatred of the English ,journal." The Pays here gives the article in question, but of which we 73 ow only give the concluding paragraph, to point out the argument of the Pays. It runs thus : No natic ►zn can be consigned to anarchy by some contrivance of absurdity, which it is beyond the power of men to alter; and if the law itself affords no remedy in such a predic2.znent, the course of events will be arrested by some viol() a t suspension of the law—that is, by a re volution. If Iticch a measure -be dictated by en impera tive necessity it would claim a bill of indemnity from the suffrages of th:( nation.' " On that day (continuos the Pays) the Times was en dowed with tts.e gilt of divination; it was a prophet. How can it now Wine after the fact which it approved be forehand? I;a hatred and jealousy against France sud denly enlighte n ed on the future results of the revolution of December, t rr the greatness and the pro.perity of,our country, can ohne explain the strange change in its lan guage." General DE ST. ARNAUD, the Minister of War, has published a note, declaring that for the future, in all agreements me de with contractors for matters which concern the wit department, a clause is to be inserted, declaring that: no works are to be executed on Sundays and holidays. The ConBtitutionnel gives the following account of the working o f the electric telegraph : " The aervic e of the electric telegraph has been for some time cola ieletely organised and at work throughout the whole lino from Paris to Strasburg. This new line is connected a:: Kehl to that of the Grand Duchy of Baden, which in its turn joins the general network of German liners at Burschel, so- that now the telegraphic dispatches, not only from the north of France, but from a part of Belgium n and all England, for the centre and south of Germany, as well as for Italy, need no longer pass by the Aust rn-German lines but by Strasburg, which is the most direct and the shortest route. Although in tome mem ure distance is not to be much taken into account :as far as regards electricity, yet there is every advent .a ge in order to obtain celerity in transmis sions in following the Strasburg line. This may be readily undsi - stood. From Brussels to Vienna via Prussia there aro 18 principal stations where dispatches are st opped . From B russe l s t o Vi enna , b y P ar i s and Strasburg, *lime are only eight stations; and besides, from the mutt l nos are of th e w i res es t a bli s h e d w i t h us, the French i es are l ess encum b ere d t h an t h e G erman . ones and fo rcibl t y, ,lush' therefo re , b e l ongs t o us natura l ly efforts to pre ierv ticeimany, however, is using all her Association h as The Austro-Ger m a n T e l egra phi c increased the price on the Bad en territory ICI. disp a t c h es Kehl Which come from F rance , and which go by ..1- he hl and Bruchsale beyond the Grand Dachy. . b i ut' ncrease is 3f. 45c. for 20 words on ly. It i s h oped d oubtless erroneously, to induce, 11.ry the att raction of the economy of a f ew francs, parties who are sending dispat c h es to take the German in preference to the Fren c h li ne. The advantage of a little l ower tariff on the other . side of the Rh ine cannot compensate for the ad celerity on vantage of more our stk. An instance of this has recently occurred. On Aug. 3, the Lloyd's of Trieste stmt one telegraphic dispatch relative to the Indian mail to London, via Strasburg, and another., tia G erman y, Verviers, and Brussels. the former arrived at its destination on the evening of tho 3d, who, the latter did not reach unt il the followin g evening, being a delay of 24 hours by the German line. I: is true that the dispatch by Germany cost from five to air francs less than that by way of France. The competition which Germany seeks to make for the transit of the electric telegraph dispatches will not be more successful than that with regard to the India mail. Strasburg and Mar seilles will remain from the advantages inherent to their positions the two points of passage, the former for tele graphic dispatches, and the other for the transmission of t h e mails. If, as it has been announced, a convention is in contemplation between France, Belgium, rad Ger mthy ior working the electric telegraph, it will give an opportunity for settling about the charges, by means of which the Austro•Gerrnan Telegrwphic Association seeks to prevent persons using the French lines for their di,;patches."

The Espana has a long article on the hostility dis played by a portion of the English press against LOUIS NAPOLEON. The Espana considers the at tacks at once improper and atsurd, as they can serve no purpose if the mass of the French people be satisfied. GERMAN Y. By an autograph letter the Emperor of AUSTRIA has commanded the expeditious construction of railroads and the establishment of communication by wa t er in Hungary. F o r thi s p ur p ose t h e so ldi ers o f the Imperial army are working on the railroads. In conformity with the Imperial command that all the political processes relative to the Hungarian in surrection should he promptly terminated, and that no new process of thi s ki n d s h a ll b e commence d, the N'e'ar Tribunal in Hungary are hastening to close the pending processes. The greater number of the accused have been sentenced to death, but these sentences have been greatly modified in favour of the accused. Among the persons condemned lately two might be mentioned—the one is Baron NICOLAS DE V.AY, an ancient dignitary of the kingdom, high functionary, and commander of the order of St. Stephen. This person had contributed more than any one else to the insurrection in Transylvania, and to the expulsiOn of the legitimate authorities. The other, who had previously greatly distinguished him self by his talents and his position, and was Minister of Finance in the Government of KOSSUTH, M. FRANCOIS DE DUtCHEK, a native of Bohemia, who occupied a high post at Buds, attached himself firmly to the revolutionary cause, and managed the fin ances of the insurrectionary Government with the most remarkable skill and firmne,s. After the catastrophe at Villegos, M. DE DUSCHEK returned and delivered up the sum of 1,500,000f1., or some what less, in gold and silver, as representing the con solidated funds of the bills issued by KOSSUTH. The sentence of death has been commuted in the case of Baron DE VAY to four years, and that of M. DE DUSCHEK to six years' imprisonment in a for tress. A letter from Hamburgb, dated August 31, says— " During the last week we have had almost daily larger or small_er conflagrations in our city. The first was a short time since in the Hohenluft, near the Damintlaor, were seven or eight small houses were burnt. A few days ego the mill on the Wandsbeck road was redu ce d to ashes ; yesterday, toward s even ing, a cotton manufactory at Uppendorf was in flames, and to-day, at noon, an extensive fire destroyed a cotton magazine and several adjoining buildings in the old part of Deichstrasse, which escaped the great fire of 1842." ITALY. The prosecution of GUERRAZZI for treason in taking part in the late revolutionary proceedings commenced on the 26th ult., before the Royal Court at Florence. GUERRAZZI protested against the competency of the Court, and demanded to be tried by the Senate. The discussion on the point had not terminated on that day. GUERRAZZI pleaded his own cause with great spirit and eloquence. The substance of the indictment against GUERRAZZI is, that the latter, while a Minister and a deputy, played an important part in the meeting of the chiefs of the clubs and other agitators, which was held at the Palazzo Vecchio on the night of the 7th of Fe rnery, 1849 (just preceding the day on which the revolution broke out). That his nomination was agreed to there, which he accepted without hesita tion or reserve, consenting to form a provisional government With MAZZINI and MONTANELLI, which was to replace the legitimate government ; and that at the said meeting the acts of violence were concerted, 1 which were executed on the following day. That he (GUERRAZZI) made certain declarations in the Senate, which were openly hostile to the GRAND DUKE; ordered armed expeditions to drive the latter from Tuscany, and commanded one in person to oppose the attempt of General LANGIER to restore the legitimate government. That he decreed laws for the same purpose, attempted to oppose the restoration of the 12th of April at Florence, abolished the Council- General and Senate, and replaced them by one single assembly. That he changed the electoral law and fundamental principle of election, and attempted as far as possible to destroy the independence of Tus cany. Against ROMANELLI, the indictment sets forth that Ile w as a Minister of the Provisional Government, and in that capacity aided in suppressing the name and authority of LEOPOLD 11. in all public framing th e l aws of the 22 d o f F e b ruary andA Acts, 23ds, and of March, march, whi c h h e afterwards execute d b y going in person to Arezzo, at the head of a column of troops, to suppress a movement which had broken out there ; that on this occasion he neglected no act by which he might show his hostility to monarchy and his enthus i as m for the Republic. JOSEPH Dean in the same indict menf. , is described as Secretary of Popular Club at Florence, and accused of having, before and after the Bth of February, carried on criminal correspondence with emissaries from other clubs, i n order to excite a republican feeling; been one of the most violent agitators • taken a prominent part in the troubl e s whi c h ' broke out at Siena a gainst the GRAND DUKE, and been a member of the military commission named for the province of Arezzo. CAPEARI, late sergeant of gre nadiere,is accuse d o f having excited the people to provisional nam e the government. PANTANELLI, aged 23, is accused of having acted as Secretary to the Popular Club of Si ena, taken a prominent part in the troubles there, co-operated in the overthrow of the Grand Ducal arms, excited the soldiers to break their oath, and several times declaimed against the GRAND DU"' V ALTANCOLIDA MONTAZIO, late director of the paper called the Popolano, is accused of having, by means of th e press, provo k e d re b ellion, the overthrow of the Constitutional Monarchy, ree commended the sovereignty of the people, and the establishment of the Republic. PETRACCI is accused of having commanded the expedition to Elba in or d er to expel the GRAND DUBE from that island, and of having a tt e mpted, at 13 osco l ungo , to opposse the restoration which had already been effected.

ELECTRO- TELEGRAPHIC PROGRESS.—We have al ready alluded to the effect likely to be produced by the elec. tric telegraph, an effect far beyond what may appear at first sight probable. The whole civilised world will be in imme diate communication before long, and the Ea s t I ndia Comp,:ny have already determined on an immense step towards effecting it. They have arranged for the connexion by means of the electric telegraph of the greater part of India, awl have actually givers orders, as we understand, which will require for their execution no less than 3,500 tons of gilvanized iron wire ! Truly an enormous work involving great results. We are beginning to move. What a future " looms in the distance."-13uillet% THE LON DON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 4 THE SHARE MckitKETS. Railways.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 were taken on speculation. The market closed steadily at the highest rates of the week.—Railway Shares were quiet. The near balance of the imports and exports of bullion during the week to the 28th nit. caused the amount of specie in the Bank of England vaults to keep tolerably steady, while the constant addition making to the public deposits as the quarter goes on, throws back a portion of the notes that were previously in circulation, and aug ments the unemployed reserves. In other respects the Bank of England does not appear to be increasing its business, although money would appear to be more in request, because the balances of private depositors were being drawn upon. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follow: Notes Issued Increase Rest 35,444,910 19,780 ... 32,225,764 ••• 62,879 ... 6,318,428 ••• 473,903 ... 12,638,205 ••• 306,8 79 ... 1,393,827 ••• 57,790 ... 14,189,182 ••• 49,844 • ... 10,646,723 .

There was, yesterday afternoon, in the negotiation of bills of exchange upon the leading cities of the Conti nent, no particular change in the rates, compared with the previous post day. In adverting to the reoent important fluctuations in railway shares, Messrs. Lamond state : " The half-yearly meetings must be regarded as the chief influencing cause of these variations. The full improvement attained in July, when quotations, which from the end of May had so suddenly advanced through the easiness of money and the actual produce of the Australian and Californian mines, naturally brought in sellers for realization, and the reaction which then com menced was increased by the reports circulated respect. ing approaching dividends. The estimates of traffic were not found to be satisfactory, and encouraged by their apprehensions the Bear speculators began to aug ment their sales. The statements of the companies themselves, when they appeared, increased the alarm. The Brighton dividend of 1/. 12s. per share, for the half year ; the London and North-Western dividend at the rate of 5i per cent., with a decrease of the reserve hind; the Great Western dividend of 4 per cent,; the South Western dividend of 3 4 1 per cent.; the Great Northern dividend of 2 per cent.; and the powers asked to raise one million fresh capital, were circumstances un inspiring of confidence, and hence the great prevailing depression. It was clearly foreseen that this would be the result of the course of business, and looking at the nature of events last year the present fall was to have been anticipated, making proper allowance for the pro portionate increase in the Bank's stock of bullion, and the less discouraging position of commerce. The divi dend of the Midland at the rate of 3 per cent.; the York, Nay castle, and Berwick of 24 per cent.; the York and North Midland of 1 per cent., and the dividends of the other principal lines have disappointed mostof the share holders, and at this particular juncture quotations are extremely sensitive. The operators in the Stock Ex change being therefore prepared for these things, the market ultimately presents either a decidedly Bullish or Bearish tendency. Now that the weather has set in fine, and the worst of the dividends is known, a better feeling is apparent. Prices however must not yet be called healthy, for occasional fluctuations take place of a reac tionary description," The letters trom the woollen and cotton manufacturing districts are very encouraging, and business this week appears to have become much brisker. The quantity of bullion exported from London during the week, to Thursday last, was 136,946 ounces of silver, and 102,300 ounces of gold, the latter to Belgium and Llamburgh. The Turkish Loan has been at 5 to 5} premium. in There is very little speculative business Consols, and they remain somewhat heavy. 13, The 100 to prices doing k for Tran s f er are p ar t o k, and for October The New Three-and-a.
