favour her departure; but they meet with a strong op position, it is said, on the part of Marshal E , partero and his aide-de-camp, the Minister of Marine, M. Allende Salazar. They both imagine that there would be danger of makinc, themselves unpopular, were they to oppose the national will, so strongly expressed on this point. A rumour has been in circulation that General San Miguel and M. Luis Sagasti are likely to be before long replaced, being considered too moderate by the President of the Council. The names of their successors are not given. It appears that at the meeting of the persons transported in 1848, a question of a serious elm racier was raised, namely, that of indemnifying them, and taking that indemnity from the private fortunes of the persons who decreed that transportation. In 1848 it was Narvaez who was at the head of affairs in Spain. It is evident that if such a spirit were indulged in, it might go exceedingly far. M. Calderon de la Barca, ex- Minister of Foreign Affairs, has left Madrid for a foreign country." The Madrid Three per Cents, were 34.25. FRANCE. The Emperor is expected in Paris to-day. He will review troops at St. Omer on the 2d Sept. The Siecle says the Empress will return to Paris with the Emperor. The Mottiteur contains an imperial decree regu lating the circumscriptions of the sixteen acade mies, which, according to the decree of the 14th of June last, constitute the University of France. It appears from the official documents collected by the Minister of Marine that the number of men serving, and liable fo be called on to serve, iii the French navy, op the Ist April last, was 160,014. On the same day in 3451, it was 142,040 ; in 1852, 146,920 ; and in 1A53, 152,812, showing an in crease in the last three years of 18,000 Men. The average annual increase from 1830 to 1840 was only from 1,400 to 1,900. The following private telegraphic despatches have been received : " BOMARSIIND, 21st.—In consequence of the great damage done to the fortress of Bmnarsund by the artil lery, the allied generals and admirals have determined to blow it up. General Baraguay d.',Hilliers is still here. The cholera prevails in the Aland Isles. General Bodisco, who commanded the .principal fort of Bomar "sund, and the other officers, have been embarked for Trance." "LEDSUND, 21st.—It is reported , that several vessels of the allied fleet have sailed for the fortress of Hangoe, which commands the entrance of the Gulf of Finland." "STOCKHOLM, 22d.—The new English ambassador was received in private audience by the King of Sweden yesterday. It is thought that matters of extreme im portance were discussed in this interview, and that the. result was favourable to the policy of the Western' Powers " On miscellaneous matters connected with the Eastern question some details of interest have arrived from various quarters. A letter from Bucharest says : " A deputation left this place on the 10th, for Rust ehuk, to compliment Omer Pacha, and to invite him to Visit the capital of Wallachia. It consisted of the Minister of Finance ' the Minister of State, and of another great dignitary. On arriving at Giurgevo, it was received with all the usual honours by Halim Pasha, and the day after Omer Pacha sent his own barge to convey it across the Danube. Horses, splendidly decked out, were found wait ing for them when they lauded, and they made a solemn entrance into Rustchuk in the Oriental form. OmerPacha received them in his own residence in 'a friendly' spirit. He seemed to be exceedingly well-informed on the affairs of the country, and said, amongst other things, ' I know that the country has greatly suffered from having to sup- Ply conveyances for the military. That shall no longer be the case. The country will only have to supply the temporary wants of our troops ; the rest that is necessary we carry with 119: On the 12th Omer Pacha paid a visit to the deputation at Giurgevo. On leaving it he said that he would go to Bucharest, and he added, I would invite you, gentlemen, to remain longer with me, but I know that the country has need of you. Return home, therefore, and tell your countrymen that they may count with full confidence on the grace of our most gracious master the Sultan."' The Pays says : " Our correspondent at Giurgevo gives us some details full of interest on the entrance of the Turkish army into the Piincipalities. It is already known that the French, and English pontonniers, with whom nothing is im possible, had thrown a bridge over the large arm of the Danube at Rustchuk. This bridge, a real chef d'ceuvre of military construction, is 1,495 yards in length. The inauguration of it took place by Omer Pacha in person, with extraordinary solemnity, which must have made a profound impression on the minds of this primitive people. At the tete du pont a mogul cent triumphal arch, decked w ith th e co l ours o f F rance, E . ngland, a n d T ur k ey , was cons t ructe d . T he generalis simo arrived in grand uniform, wearing the grand cordon and star of the Legion of Honour ; he way on a beauti 7ful black horse decked, with gold ornaments. Be was .followed by an immense staff, consisting of French, Eng lish, Turks, Austrians, and even Prussians. He went over the whole bridge, which was lined on both sides by English and F renc h pontonuiers. On the oth er s id e 24 pieces of cannon thundered a salute ; vast tents were established ; and two suniptubus banquets were pre Pared, one for officers, the other for soldiers. Turks, French, and English fraternised all day glass in hand. On three different occasions hurrahs were raised for the Sultan, the Emperor Napoleon, and the Queen of Eng land ; and an excellent band of infantry played four or five times the air of La Reine Hortense.'

The Chamber of Commerce of Genoa has been officially informed that the French Government has fixed five hundred square metres as the space to be allotted to Sardinian produce in the Grand Exhibition of 1855. The convent of Capuchin nuns at Turin has just been evacuated by the inmates, in order to make room for cholera patients. Nevertheless, the mor tality from the epidemic is very slight, the total number of cases since the outbreak not exceeding 100, with 77 deaths. The Provisional Exhibition of articles of Tuscan manufacture, intended as a preliminary step to their being sent to the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations, will take place at Florence on the 12th of November next, instead of the 15th of October, as had been previously fixed. We read in the Moniteur : " During the course of the epidemic which still rages on the coasts of Italy, the agents of Franca have given a proof of devotedness, which we take pleasure in making known. At Genoa, our Consul-General set an example of calmness and courage in the midst of the general terror produced by the rapid inva sion of the disease. He never quitted the place, which was -almost deserted, and co-operated in the most active manner in organising the necessary mea sures for succouring the sufferers. At Nice, M. Gavard, the director of the French consulate, equally distin guished himself by his intelligent zeal, which has procured for him the gratitude of the inhabitants. Count de Maricourt, the consul at Port Maurice, devoted him self with abnegation to the alleviation of the suf ferings of a population cruelly decimated by the • disease, not only at his place of residence, but also in the neighbouring town of O neg li a . Th e whole province, and the Sardinian Government itself (through its official Organ, the Piedmontese Gazette), have testified the gratitude with which his conduct has inspired them. It is painful to have to add that whilst M. de Maricourt was giving assist ance to the sick with a zeal which is beyond praise, he himself suffered the most severe affliction that could have fallen on him ; in a few hours be lost his daughter, aged 15. At Leghorn, on the 15th, after having been present at the Te Deum sung in honour of the fete of the Em peror Napoleon, M.. de Sdnevier de Joisieu, the CoMul . .General of France, worthily finished the day by visiting with the employes of his consulate the cholera hospitals, and addressing words of consolation and encouragement to their inmates." MALTA. MARSEILLES, SATURDAY. We have advices from Malta to the 22d. The Orinoco bad arrived. The French steamers CafTarella and Ajaccio, with troop s and military stores for the East, had also arrived. They left the saw . e day. The cholera bad broken out on board the Med way. A portio n of the troops remain at Malta. The Ri pon, with the Indian mail, will be de layed by a fracture to some part of her machinery. ----- G ATHENS, AuuREECE. from the Pi rm g u st 18 .alergis h as re t urne d Pi nc u s —li and attended th e counc il o f tions and add e d Ministers after theßing had signed hi s proposi some remarks in hi s own hand writing:. • • ‘: ..' • ' TERRIFIC BOILER EXPLOSION AND Loss OP LIE.— A boiler explosion, which occasioned then ea of one man, and was likely to have seriously injured otherFi, occurred at a mine in the parish of 'Hogan, Cornwall, last Friday. The man who met his death was named John Spargo, and it appeared he had charge of the pup ing engine, whi c h h e had, worked for any years. R e had, however, a ll owed the feed to be exhausted, and then suddenly turning on a fresh supply of water when the boiler was hot, an explosion was the consequence. portion of the boiler, weighing about two tons, was blown a distvice of upward!' of 300 feet. THE OVERLAND MAIL. A few days ago we published a telegraphic mes sage from Trieste in anticipation of the Overland Mail. We have now received ,our papers by the same route. The following summary of Indian intelligence is extracted from the Bombay Times of July 20 : From Burmah the news continues to be of little interest. One man, Moung Sing, had been collect ing revenue in the British district of Sarawah, and forwarding it to the Court of Ava ; but Captain Grant, the Deputy Commissioner, managed easily to apprehend him. Dacoity (which now signi- fies all kinds of violent robberies) will not be thoroughly suppressed, it is thought, until roads are made, and a mounted police force is established. There had been au insignificant skirmish with some of Goung Gyee's force, and shortly afterwards Mr. Brown, one of the Com missioners, nearly captured the freebooter himself, who managed to escape, not without being wounded by a musket shot. Unless there is another re volution in Ava, there is no chance of war breaking out again ; and, in the case of a revolution taking place, it is not thought that either party could command a sufficient number of men to con stitute an army which could venture to meet our troops, or to attack our posts. Of the Nugent, which sailed from Madras with the head quarters and 300 men of the 25th Regiment M.N.I. and the Staff of General Sir S. W. Steel, nothing whatever has been heard. It is feared that she has been blown upon the Andaman Islands, in which case the survivors would have to protect themselves from the attacks of the ferocious natives of those islands. The rumours from Cabul in regard to the intrigues of Russia in Central Asia are of a quieter kind than they have been for some mouths back. It was be lieved everywhere in that part of the world that the Czar was daily gaining a footing in the domi nions of Turkey, and that Persia was inclined to support him in every ay, except by overt acts. 20,000 Persian soldiers are said to be stationed at Meroo in order to enforce the Shah's demands upon the King of Bokhara and the Khan of Khiva, the former of horn has already made friendlyadvances to the Persian Court. The Chiefs of Can?ahar, along with Sirdar Sultan Mahomed Khan at Cabul, are also attaching themselves to Persia. The Orbeg Chiefs of Shiburgan and Suripul have offered to the Affghan Governor of Turkistan to become tri butaries to Dust Mauomed. It is rumoured that Dost Mahomed has communicated to the British authorities his readiness to prevent the Russian army advancing to invade India, should it ever try to do so, on condition that he be now placed in pos session of the Affghan territories taken from him fUrmerly by the English. This is quite improbable, and such a proposal, if made, would, of course, not be entertained for a moment. A Russian invasion of India is such au improbability, such an impossi bility even, that it would be absurd to trouble our selves, at present, seriously about. it. The real danger, if there is any, lies in som e f u t ure un i on of the Mahomedan powers in the East, moved by Russian intrigue and Russian gold. From the' Punjab, the North-West Provinces, and Scinde, there is no news of sufficient impor tance to be summarised. From Hyderabad, in the Nizam's dominions, there have come news of another serious Rohilla quarrel of the old kind ; but the Minist er i s deter mined to discover the gulty party, who is concealed at present. At Lucknow.the Minister, in an interview held Idtely with the British Resident, said that he had been dephted by the King to express his Majesty's sympathy with England in the Russian war, and that, had his trea sur y no t b een exhausted, he would gladly have offerel a large loan of money. But not being able to do this, he offered to place twelve battalions of infantry, each a thousand strong, a thousand horsemen, and a thous an d guns at the disposal of hi s ally, and march these troops to wherever they may be wanted. If this offer has been made in perfect sincerity, it is convincing that the King of Oude is by uo means so disaffected towards the English as he has been represented to be. Such offers are not to be met with every day, and are not to be despised, because ,if anything were to happen on the north-west frontier, his troops and guns might be of much service. Doubtless the Government will acknow ledge this offer in a friendly and suitable spirit, and give all duo thanks to the King of Oude for his kind and most liberal intentions. From Calcutta the piece of news of most import ance is the running of a locomotive and carriage on a portion of the Bengal Railway, which natu rally enough created immense excitement. To ignorant natives who understand nothing of the means by which the ag ka gharic, or fire chariot, is moved, few things could have been more astounding or more convincing of the mi raculous power possessed by the English. One curious explanation was that the locomotive was made to go simply by the hookum or order of Lord Dalhousie. Baboo Pro,ouo Cotnar has been ap pointed to fill the responsible office of Deputy Clerk to the Legislative Council of India. The Bauk of Madras has declared a dividend, fur the half-year just passed, of five per cent., being an increase of half per cent. on the preceding half year. Lord Harris has been unable to visit, as he intended, certain districts under his jurisdiction, owing to the state of the only steamer at his com mand. We reget to say that information reached Bombay on the Ist instant of the wreck of the barque Euterpe, Captain Morton, which left this port on the 11th of June bound for Liverpool, and wrecked off the Coast of Canara, near Byndoor, with serious loss of life. Out of the crew, the master, William Grew, mate, James Thompson, steward, and a Siddee boy, name unknown, have perished. The second mate, William Foster, and the rest of the crew, in all 17 or 19, have reached the shore. A great deal of cargo is washing on shore. Our local news is not devoid of interest. Cap tain Haines, who was removed from the Resident ship at Aden because of defalcations in the Trea ury there to the amount of 30,0001., has been brought before the Grand Jury of Bombay, and, a true bill having been found against him on five out of six indictments for embezzlement, he will in a few days be tried before the petty jury. Some discussion has arisen regarding the state of the Semiramis, the steamer which takes this mail to Suez. The Bombay Times was the first to call attention forcibly to the state of this vessel, and though 'a committee appointed by Rear-Admiral Sir Henry Leeke, who is still the Commodore of the Indian navy, has pronounced her seaworthy, yet the effect of their admissions allot of the state ments of her commander, have, to say the least, left a very unsatisfactory impression as to the de pendence to be placed on the vessels of the Indian navy, most of which are in a very miserable state. The order for sending the 10th Hussars to Turkey has not been literally carried out : in fact, owing to the present state of the vessels of the Indian navy and the difficulty of crossing the ocean in the monsoon, it could not be. They will not leave till the end of September or later. Last Sunday was observed here, as all over India, as a day of humiliation and prayer for the success of the British arms, by natives as well as Europeans. So remarkable was the conduct of the natives, both as a testimony to the equity and kindness of the British, and as a proof that old superstitions will speedily break up, that we may be justified in giving some account of it. The movements of the native community on this occasion have possessed remark able interest. Their sympathy with their British rulers, whom after all they know to be their best friends, their indefinite fears of the advance of Rus sia to India, and their apprehension of loss by the limitations and restrictions of commerce, led them in great multitudes to resolve to unite in the religious solemnities of the day of humiliation. Their cessation from work was far more extensive than was ever known ,to be th e case on their own religious high days when the feeling of superstitious " unluck" has been to them a great restraint. In the manage ment of their religious services, the leading minds, as might be expected, in originating the services of the higher castes, have not been the ordinary Brahmins and other priests, but their e d uca t e d members ; and, in accommodation to their views, the God of the Universe has in some of the prayers, in consequence, taking the precedence of the Gods of the Pantheon. To the Parsees must be given the credit of having first, of the native sects, moved in this matter, tra ditional usage h av i ng authorized them in so doing. The assembly of them at their principal Atesh-gahs or Fire Temples was unprecedentedly great. Their services there were principally conducted in the ancient Zend language, the priests being the great officials. Lords Elphinstone and Frederick Fitzclarence are at Poona. The fall of rain hitherto has been ample ; the quantity gauged at the Presidency is upwards of 42 inches. Trade in general is dull, but the money market is easy. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Our money market remains in much the same state as at the date of our last report. No further reduction has taken place in rates of discount, but money is easy at the bazaar, though not so abundant as is usual at this season. Govsrnment securities continue to decline. CHINA. From China we have dates to the 6th of July. Nothing had been heard of the Russian fleet which was supposed to have gone as far north as possible, ! The American treaty wi-h Japan had been duly ' signed. The Pekiu Gazette acknowledges the formidable nature of the insurrection. 40,000 rebels had gone northwards from Nankin. _ The Abergeldie; Rapid, and Hygeia, had been lost ; the latter had 500 emigrants on board, 370 of whom were left ou the wreck, and were sup posed to have perished of starvation. R 1 PI • THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1854. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 6,000 bales, all to the trade. The market closed tamely but steadily, with less anxiety to sell. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 400 Egyptian at 6id. to lid., and 500 Surat at 3d. to 4gd. per lb. Railway Shares were quiet. The steamer Canada, from New York, arrived with 321,588 dollars, and 6001. in specie. The commercial accounts notice a moderate demand for breadstuffs, and stocks being light an advance had taken place in prices. There was a good busi ness doing, at the latest date, in provisions. Gro ceries were steady, and cotton firm. Freights to Europe and California wore dull. Money con tinued easy, and the last weekly return of the City banks indicated an abundance of capital. These establishments were discounting freely, and the impression prevailed that the Mesilla Val ley money would remain for some time in their vaults without interest. Every endeavour should now be used by the holders of the Foreign Mexican debt to induce Santa Anna, while the money is still in New York, to assign a portion for the liquidation of dividends in arrear, for when it finds it way into the Treasury of the Republic, it will speedily be absorbed, so many are the claims upon it, and so urgent the necessities of the Government. There were considerable supplies of new home grown wheat at Mark-lane to-day, of quality re markably fine ; prices gave way in consequence from Bs. to 10s. per quarter as compared with the quotations of this day week. On the contrary the corn markets come firm from Amsterdam and Antwerp, more especially in the latter port, on Saturday last, with short stocks and little offemiug. A parcel of rye had been sold at 91 florins per 70 kilogrammes, for delivery next month, and for immediate delivery at 8i florins. New red. home-grown wheat had been sold, how ever, at 14 florins per 80 kilogrammes, but from thence up to 16 florins ; and Polish ordinary at 15,, for delivery in December. The fall in the price of cereals at. Mark-lane, with the growing assurance of an extraordinary harvest, has had the natural tendency of en hancing the prices of public securities in the stock market. In Con4ols this morning the improve ment has been equal to per cent., which, con sidering the absence of so large a proportion of the dealers at the seaside and abroad, is a material ad vance. For transfer the quotations now are 94i to I, and for account 941 to Reduced Threes, 94i- to 3i per Cents., 94/ to 95k. India Stock has been done at 229. Exchequer Bills par to 4s. premium, the transactions having chiefly ranged from 2s. to 4s. premium. Exchequer Bonds of 1858 at 98k, of 1859 at 98i. It is to be remarked, withal, that the business has been of but limited extent, notwithstanding the upward tendency of stook values noted. It is stated that Messrs. Trouve-Chauvel and Stanley, on the part of the Oriental Bank, have lodged a protest with the committee of the Stock Exchange against the negotiation of the Turkish loan, and requesting that body to prohibit its quo tation in their daily official lists of prices, which would be tantamount to the interdiction of all re cognisable dealings in it in the house. It has not yet transpired what resolution may have been come to on the subject, but as this is the day for com mittee meetings, the result may be known to-mor row if a sufficient number of members can be got together to form a board. The objection mainly and most prominently urged against the loan refers to the Egyptian tribute assigned as security for the payment of interest upon it, wrongfully, as it is as serted, and in prejudice of the prior legal claim to that tribute as previously assigned to the Oriental Bank, and such assignment never revoked by the Turkish Government. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds 6 to 6i, Mexi can 241 to 24i, Peruvian 71 to 73, ditto 3 per Cents. 52 to 54, Portuguese 4 per Cents. 40 to 42, Russian 5 per Cents. 99 to 101, . ditto 4i per Cents. 85 to 87, Spanish New Deferred 17 to 181, ditto 3 per Cents. 36 to 37i, ditto Certificates 41 to 5, ditto Passive 3• to 4.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were very scantily supplied with wheat ; yet the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at a decline in value of fully 2s per quarter. The sale for barley and malt was dull, on easier terms. The oat trade was steady, at full quotations ; but all other articles were much neglected. The whole of the continental markets have been de pressed, and prices generally had a downward tendency. Our latest advices from New York are to the effect that flour was on the advance, owing to the limited supplies on offer. Very moderate supplies of English wheat were received up to our market last week. From abroad we received 13,760 quarters of wheat, 8,696 barley, 19,475 oats, 183 rye, 2,487 beans, 432 peas, 10 tares, 2,777 linseed, 1,375 rapeseed, 3,430 sundry seeds, 1,509 sacks, and 3,901 barrels of flour. There was rather a large supply of new English wheat received fresh up to our market, this morning, from Essex and Kent—it exceeding 1,000 quarters; and its general quality was unusually fine. The show of old wheat was trifling. Owing to the prevailing fine weather for harve , t work, and the very favourable accounts which have come to hand respecting the yield of the crops, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled excessively heavy, at a decline in the prices obtained, on Monday last of from eight to ten shillings per quarter, and a clearance was not effected. We were well supplied with most descriptions of foreign wheat. The business doing in that grain was trifling, at from 6s to 8s per quarter under the rates of Monday last. The few floating cargoes on sale off Falmouth were quite neglected. We are scantily supplied with English barley; but the supply of foreign was large. The trade was heavy, and, in some instances, the currencies had a downward ten dency. _ _ All kinds of malt were dull, and the turn in favour of buyers. BVe were fairly supplied with oats, in which about an average business was doing, at full prices. There was very little inquiry for beans, at about pre vious rates. The sale for peas was dull. In prices, however, very little change took place. The flour trade was heavy, at a fall of fully 5s per sack, and 2s per barrel, compared with Monday last. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

From our own grazing districts we received a full average number of beasts, but their general weight and quality were inferior. Owing to their extrem e scarcity the primest Scots sold steadily, at last Monday's prices—viz , 4s 10d to fully 5s per 81bs ; but all other breeds met a dull inquiry, at, in most instances, a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. A large portion of the supply was com posed of "jobbed" b eas t s . The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,100 short-horns ; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 21 horned and polled Scots. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with sheep ; but the majority of the supply was inferior. Downs and half-breds moved off steadily, at full prices; but other breeds met a dull inquiry, on former terms. Prime lambs were scarce, and quite as dear as last week. Otherwise, the lamb trade was dull, at barely late rates. Although the show of calves was very moderate, the veal trade was in a sluggish state, at barely the late decline in value. The top figure was 4s 4d per Blbs. Pigs, the supply of which was very moderate, moved off heavily, on former terms. Per 81bs to sink the offals. e. d. s. d.

There is rather more doing in Railway Shares, and prices all tend upwards by sympathy with Consols. In some instances the advance is 1 per cent.

Consols 94a Ditto September Account THE TunKISH LOAN.—The Jews have cause for congratulation upon the fact that one of the two parties contracting this loan is one of their body, the venerable Sir Isaac Goldsmid. This Jew has joined a Christian (Mr. Horsley Palmer) in advancing money to a liberal country, which, now aided by the two most civilised and powerful nations in the universe, England and France, is struggling to assert her rights against an invader, who, if successful, would trample not only the rights of Tur key, but of every nation that be could grasp. As Jews especially, we rejoice that one of our co-religionists is thus assisting in supplying the sinews of war to a Go vernment which is disposed to grant civil and religious liberty to all creeds, including the Jews, against a tyran nical despot, who dares recklessly to sacrifice human life to his unbounded ambition and aggrandisement, and who, under the mask of defending orthodox Christianity, sheds the blood of Turks, Christians, and Jews e s p ec i. ally the last, because they are the weakest. Would to God our Jewish millionaires always appeared as money lenders in such noble causes as the present one, to sup port humanity and civilisation against violence and bar barity, —,Tcwis4 Citron icle.

DIIRHAM.—The hay harvest in this district is nearly'- brought to a close, and the crops have been far from:e au average one. The farmers have generally com menced 'cutting their wheat and barley, with gOod crops and tolerably fine weather. Oats seem to be a little behind, but, with a continuance of this favourable and prolific season, will soon be ready for the sickle or scythe. The reaping machine not being generally in use, a great importation of Irish reapers has arrived, and will find full employment, and we trust a good and speedy harvest home. The growers of potatoes have been grumbling about the blight, and it is feared not without some reason, but, as it appears to be later this year, we hope eventually that it will be removed. —Newcastle Journal. NORTHUMBERLAND.—The harvest reports from the various districts of the country continue to be highly favourable. Reaping has begun in all the southern and midland counties, and nearly finished in the more ad vanced localities. Everywhere the crops are spoken of as most luxuriant, while the damage from storms has b been partial fora few more andno tweeks exte ntshiveere is e . If fine weather reasont con tinuesobelieve that the product of the present harvest will be almost unprecedented both for quantity and quality. As regards the northern district, a good deal of wheat and barley has been cut down this week. The harvest has been piogressing very favourably, and notwith standing occasional interruptions by the weather the yield is likely to turn out very satisfactory. The effect has been apparent in the general depression of prices in the corn market, ; and it is the opinion of many expe rienced, well-informed persons in agricultural pursuits that in less than two months the average price of wheat will range from 6s. to 7s. per bushel.—Newcastle Journal. arenow a t t h t e h o e ffe moateffect o f cr t i h t critical period weather ld on the entire y . --We ear as regard s t t i h o e n c o r o f p t s h , e a nd wh e a few ntin fine thi daysthis didistrict r w i c o t u would adm.yaktoe for the large pcir sickle. - The last two, days have been showery, but at intervals the sun shone brightly. Several of wheat and barley have a l rea d y b een cut. Mr. Jogn g, of Low Burn-hall, and M r . B rown, of Hird's-house, have both commenced cutting. Harvest operations have likewise commenced, on a small scale, in the 'neighbourhood of Hartlepool, and around Sedgefield there are several fields ready.—Durham Advertiser. WORCESTERSHIRE.--T E HARVEST.-- The weather, which at the commencement of the week was rather showery, has now cleared up, and the last two days have been all that could be desired by the "harvest -hoping swain." We are gratified to find that the iztelligenoe received from all parts of this and adjoining counties, and indeed the kingdom generally, concurs in represent ing that the wheat crop will prove a full average one, and with favouring weather will be secured in excellent condition. The prospect of a good harvest is not limited to this country, as both on the Continent and in Ame rica the yield is represented as being likely to prove most abundant. This is very cheering, amid the pres sure of war expenses and the apprehensions of pestilence and its ravages. The crops of barley and oats are well spoken of everywhere. We regret, however, to hear a continuance of complaints respecting the potato disease. —Berrow's Journal. THE RYELAIVDS.—On the rich alluvial flats, upon the sandy slopes and sunny hills of this important corn growing district the golden hues of harvest now gladden the interesting scene of rural beauty. The sickle, of pristine simplicity, is now busy in the field, and stout stooks stand thickly to reward the husbandman who has watched their growth with anxious care and pride. We have seen some splendid specimens of Brewick s red, grown upon the New-house farm, near Stockton. Some of Spalding's, and a sort called Donna Maria, grown upon the Sutton farm, are magnificent specimens, both as to ear and straw. These, together with specimens of barley, grown by Mr. Nock, of Sutton, and J. Anstice, Esq., have been selected as speci mens o f th e crops f or a celerated house in the corn trade in London. At coal port, on a six-acre field, very much impoverished by previous crops, he informed us that it was one of five stems, averaging 28 pods each, and that the total num ber of beans exceeded 500 each. The field altogether has returned a first-rate crop.—Shropshire Conservative. MONMOUTHSHIRE. —Never in onr recollection have the prospects of an abundant harvest been more encourag ing than at present, so far as this district is concerned. The wheat crops are particularly fine and well beaded, the barley is thick and strong, oats good, and beans kindly podded; and roots of all kinds are healthy and growing. In the neighbourhood of Staunton, upon a dry hill, the crops are heavier than ever we saw them; and the same may be said of wheat and barley in the neighbourhood of Newland and Coleford. But upon He welsfield Court, where we have so frequently spoken of the extraordinary improvements which have taken place in the agricultural development of the country, some of the crops surpiss everything that has ever come under our observation. In one piece of ground there are 60 acres of Swede; without a single faulty spot, and finer and stronger than any, we believe, in the fertile counties of Gloucester and Hereford. Indeed, an ex perienced agricultural friend, who has latterly seen some well-cultivated districts, tells us that he has seen nothing to approach them, except a piece upon the farm of Earl Bathurst, near Cirencester, and even these are far infe rior to them. Upon the same estate the corn crops are magnificent.—Monmouth Beacon. BRITISH ARCILXOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. On Saturday the proceedings of the week were wound up by excursions to Caerwent, Llanyair Castle, Penhow Castle, and Pencow Castle. The last-named is very ancient, a very early Norman edifice. An old mansion, now a farm-house, occupies the site of the keep. Pen how Castle is romantically situate between three and four miles from Caerlvent. Its chief portio n , a square t ower, is blended with a farm-house. Llanvair Iswed Castle occupies an eminence two miles from Caerwent, near the Usk road. The walls are seven feet thick. There are two round towers and a ruined keep. Caerwent is a poor village. It was once a British city, and subsequently the yenta silurum of the Romans. Few Roman posts in this country remain in so perfect a state. The remains of two tessellated pavements still exist, and many others have been discovered. In 168 P three pavements of great beauty were found in the garden. Large quanties of coins—some of the reign of Severus— fragments of columns, statues, sepulchral stones, tesserte, and other relics of the Roman conqueror, have come to light at various periods, and many must still be hidden. Caerwent Church appears to have been built on the site, and partly out of the materials, of some Roman edifice. The style is early English, but there are frag ments of Norman work in it. The tower is lofty and embattled. The Via Julia runs from • Caerwent to Caerleon, an other Roman city, of still greater consequence, distant nine miles, but this was too far distant for the day's work. Another party got back to Chepstow betime, in order to visit the seat and park of Mr. C. Bathurst, a local antiquarian, who invited them. There was a formal " closing meeting" at Chepstow.
