Much higher prices for wheat than have lately ruled have been asked, as much as 7s per bushel, but we have not heard of more than 6s 6d, and prices for prime samples must be quoted at from 6s to that figure. Red, foreign, is offering at 42s per quarter ; barley, 3s to 3s 3d; oats, 2s 2d to 2s 5d per bushel; fine flour, 33s to 31s per sack.

I am rather inclined to the latter belief, and so pro bably will be your readers, when I state my grounds for such a cenviciion. Here it is— In one of the morning journals of July 6, I find the toilowing announcement :-- " Captain iluustoun Stewart, C. 8., is absent from the Admiralty, upon the Continent." And in another of the same date, I read that— " Rear-Admiral M. F. Fitzhardinge Berkeley, C. 8., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and a large party of ladies, noblemen, and geat letnen, eighty-four in number, arrived at Woolwich to-day, shortly after twelve o'clock, by special train on the North Kent line of railway, and were received by Commodore Henry Eden, superintend ent, and the authorities of the dockyard. The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master-Commander S. B. Cook. having her steam up, the party werc conveyed on board in the pinnace of the Fisgard, and proceeded down the river to Sheerness, where they went on board the Ocean, 80, flag ship at that port, and afterwards went alongside the Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling, at the Nore, where she has arrived to be paid off at Sheerness. The master of the band and twelve of the men of the Woolwich division were on board the Black Eagle. Dancing was kept up for nearly an hour after the vessel had arrived and was attached to her moorings at Woolwich, at half-past eight o'clock, P.M. The day being remarkably fine, the party ex pressed themselves highly delighted with the trip. Commodore Eden having gone to town in the afternoon. Lieutenant Robertson, Mr. Lang, master-shipwright, and Mr. Humphrys, chief engineer, received the rear admiral and party on landing, and the whole of the company left the dockyard at,tion of the North Kent Railway , at ten o'cl oc k, P . M ., b y spec i al train fur London. ' So that, out of the Four Junior Lords of the Admiralty, one is amusing himself abroad, and an other feasting and fiddling up and down the Thames in one of her Majesty's yachts. But surely neither of these employments can be classed as onerous or heart-breaking certainly not the last. Picture to yourself, Sir, " eighty-four lords, ladies, and gentlemen," first assembling at the Admiralty, then driving to the terminus, from whence they are conveyed by special train to Woolwich, received there by a Commodore, and all the authorities bowing to the ground, on a platform covered with half an ,acre of red baize, conducted to the boat by Colonel Handsaw, and the gallant young officers of the Dockyard Ir regulars, " Division Maritime," stepping out of it on board the yacht to the music of the master of the Marine band and his selected assistants, proceeding leisurely down the river (not forgetting to touch at Sheerness for a draught of Elliott's), visiting a splendid three-decker at the Nore, kept there fur the express purpose of being thus honoured, dancing all the way back, ultimately to be re-landed at Woolwich with the same bows and baize that awaited them on their reception, and, all to be closed with another special train. No wonder the party expressed themselves gratified. What more could they have desired? The whole paragraph is redolent of luxurious enjoyment. Cleopatra's. barge in rapid motion, with a more goodly company then ever honoured Cleopatra with their presence ; the Thames instead of the Cydnw, engines in lieu of swans, Champagne substituted for pearl-water; and, to complete the picture, Anthony himself, unchecked by any thought of losing a world for the sake of the fair forms around him, indulging in pleasing dreams of future retributive vengeance upon the heads of the unconscious assistant-surgeons. Sometimes, when their constitutions are enfeebled and their energies shaken by a too protracted atten tion to duties of the foregoing description, their Lord ships condescend to exchange a seat at the Admiralty for some less laborious and more permanent occupa tion in the dockyard s — t h e Scotchmen (as might be expected) in variably securing th e fi rst opportun i t i es. Thus Sir Charles Adam was translated from White hall to Greenwich Hospital (King Stork succeeding to the vacant th rone ) . Rear-Admiral Prescott first flourished and then faded fora few months in the uncon genial atmosphere of the board-room, until the occur rence of a v acancy i n the dockyard at Portsmouth gave him an opportunity of exchanging the dust of London for the parterres and geraniums of the Superin tendent's residence; and Lord 'Sohn Hay, finding it more ea s y t o pu ll s hi ps to p i eces than to satisfy the public that he WAS right in doing so, wisely leaves all explanation to his successor, and, having served three years at th e Ad m i ra l ty, st i pu l ates for, and obtains, an arrangement by whi c h h e i s t o b e retained i n command of Plymouth f or a f urt h er per i o d o f five years, to the exclusion of 75 expectant, but de ceived, Rear-Admirals. Rumour asserts that ano ther command will shortly be filed from the Board of Admiralty ; so that the public m ay rest assured th a t w h en t h ere are any good th i ngs to be given away, t h e i r L or d sh i ps w i ll not be guilty of the folly of forgetting themselves. In the nai,;st of such selfisllness, is it any longer a wonder that the voice of thu nation, I.kintly heard at the commencement through th e . vo i ce tl waste, and folly, of some few Financial Reformers, and ultim ed a iu e m y finding strength and expression . throu i gh the of a Committee appointed to revise al in the should peremptorily call . for . some ? alteration Hav e the oflizials official m salaries, mode of conducting public busin . ess they did not reform forgotten the warning, "thatd .ront without t e uselves, they would be re forme d ?" If they inure roughly than they might wis h have, let them not neglect this new notice, for the dy/ have not only e. ablished the principle of t they have opened the door to further if found necessary ; and we have at dation of knowing that if we cannot iables or incorrigibles from squandering ioney, we can at all events dock their intil there will be no longer any in ducement for them to •cling to office with that silent pertinacity so characteristic of the tribe of Whig " Testacem," with whom the faculty of stick ing and swallowing seems the object of all official existence, as well as the beat recommendation for a participation therein. I am, Sir, yours most obediently, JACK EASY. THE LORDS of the ADMIRALTY. To THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir,---A sound of wailing has gone forth upon the waters, and even reached thesecluded ship from whence I inditethis letter. Grief; mingled with amazement, has taken possession of our minds upo❑ hearing that a . band of daring innovators have ventured to lay their hands tip ,n the hitherto sacred salai les of the Lords of the Admiralty, and that they have gone so far as to recommend that tha Four Junior Commis-ioners should be deprived of their residences or of 2001. an nually. -7 - Her Majesty's ship Geranium, Portsmouth, August 6. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN the ATLANTIC AND PA CIFIC OCEANS. Oce of tee most merketi ch tracteristics :of the pre sent taxies is the anxiety 1 r improved intereornmuutee.- - tion which is so pi rcept ble an both sides of the Atlantic. Facility of locometien is known to be so powerful tor in 'strum, nt of civilization toed so importzet an auxiliary to commerce, thet its till ihrections attentten is teeing turned to coteptetine end perfecting the links h . , tee sta at chain of ceunnuaicei iou which is tett so esse n tad to ine progress o f t h e world. They most cemprehensive project of modern tiers, the counecting the Atlantic ocean with the Pacific, is on the point or being tarried into executien, the steamer Director having lett New York ftm the pur pose ef elyieg from St. Juan in the Gulf of Mexico, up the Sr. Juan Riv e r to Ci s till o V iego, where she is. in tended to transfer her passengers to Nicaragua, which will convey them to the city of Grareda, on tie Lake of Nicaragua, whence a land journey of twelve or fourteen miles will bring them to the Bay Of Sc. Juan del Sur, on the Pacific, which they will have thus reached without encountering the dangers and hard ships of the stormy passage round Cape Horn. We believe, however, that this is not ultimately to be the line of the ship canal, the preferable direction being the.route leading northward, from Lake Nicaragua to the Estiro Real, an inlet from the Gulf of Fonseca, as a line for the canal can there be found of only forty-five miles long, and which affords great facilities for its con struction, the greatest elevation to be overcome being only fifty feet, and the character of the soil favourable to excavation. The harbour of Rettig°, which would be the port for the first route, though tolerably secure, is very small, whereas the Gulf of Fonseca is a spacious inlet of 'the seas capable or holding with convenience and in perfect safety any nanaber of vessels that any conceivable com merce could by any possibility concentrate on its waters. Its entrance is between two lofty volcanoes, with very deep water between them, and it contains the island of Tigre, itself merely a volcanic rock, but of the greatest importance in a political point of view, inasmuch as it commands the ship canal which is destined to afford ac cess to the commerce of Europe to the whole seabOard of the Pacific, to the teeming millions of China, and the rich and fertile islands, hourly rising in importance, of the Indian Archipelago, finally to be the short cut be tween this country and her Australasian colonies. A staff of surveyors have already left New York, and this great work, which will be an enduring monument of the energy of our times and the enterprise of the Anglo- Saxon race, may be said to have been fairly commenced. On the result it would be impossible to speculate. At present, its magnitude can hardly be estimated, for the dust of California is in all men's eyes, and the mental vision is distorted towards those auriferous districts where the wildest anticipations may at any time be realised, and the leading idea in most men's minds is that a passage across the isthmus is merely a short cut to California and fortune; but to meet the importance of the undertaking it is necessary to consider the popula tions it will conflict, the resources it %ill develop, and the enormous amount of commercial activity it will call into play. Already the auri sacra fames has shaken the superstitious horror of emigrating, which it is well known has prevented China from sending forth her swarming multitudes, who can barely find a scanty subsistence upon her own soil, to people the broad !Ands that lie so invitingly unoccupied in our Australian possessions. There are many Chinese in California, and it once that superstitious horror is fairly shaken, as it seems likely to be, and a new generation grows up without the fear of foreign land before their eyes, it is im possible to say what amount of labour may be thrown into a market which is ever ready to receive and greedy to absorb any quantity that it can command. The great drawback upon the advance of our Australasian settle ments is the high price of labour, or, in other words, shortness of heads; whilst, on the other hand, the po pulation of China is so redundant that, so precious is land there, millions live entirely on the rivers, so that there are probably people among them who have never slept on shore all their lives; and nothing is more likely to reconcile the superabundant population of that country to quitting their native land, and seeking subsistence elsewhere, than that rapidity, fre quency, and certainty o f commun i cat i on which deprive s a temporary expatriation of the character of an eternal bauitbment, which is certain to follow the enormous introduction of American and European com merce directly into the Ricific. There is oac , point, however, on which we wish public atteetiou should be riveted from the very first, a point of the most vital im portenee to Europe, and that ia the dimensions of the canal; it is necessary that the greatest care should be taken that the canal should have both breadth and depth to adroit the largest ships and steamers, and we must Hutch most vigilantly that it is not made or a size calculaieil to admit the small craft of America and ex clude the large atm-goat:g vessels which 11.;urope employs in her intercourse with her cotooies. Rumours are afloat that something Of the sort is likely to be attempted, and though we trust that those rumours are not founded in fact, sail! it is as well that we should be on our guard to ensure to the commerce of the world that ativatitaga which it has a right to obtain from one of the most im portant works of modern times.—Post. News has also arrived that still larger reforms will be recommended in high places ; but with such matlers it is not my intention to trouble you. I am not at present likely to visit Paris or .Vienna, and am therefore u , terly indifferent to the merits of either ambassadorial cuisine, as well as to the in tensely interesting questions that may agitate Eu rope, in else Lord Guloseton reduces the, salary of his " chef" in proportion to his own, or the Marquis of Carabbas takes advantage of this opportunity to abstain altogether from poisoning his guests. In times of distress I like to help my friends; and at present all my sympathies are with the tour unhappy men who have come in for the tail of this economical hurricane ; end as they never gave dinners of any description (not even bad ones), it cannot be sup posed that the committee who recommended the re duction had any latent wrongs to avenge ; and we may therefore fairly assume that in this case, at least, their decision was guided by the purest of mo tives. It is not, however, likely to be submitted to with out a murmur. I hear the contemplated reduction is to be opposed on the ground that the arduous la bours of the Board of Admiralty are even now barely remunerated byte, riot Ilisproportionete eatery.- Let us examine the nature of this defence.of exist ing salaries. It is founded solely upon the doctrine of hard work and high wages, but it altogether forgets to take into consideration the value of the work when it is performed. Work alone, without results, is no excuse for extravagan ce . G ranted that the Lords of the Admiralty toil from morning to night—that their life is one of ceaseless labour—that at the close of each day their minds are- wearied and their bodies exhausted, and that they have no longer health nor heart to squabble over any desire able piece of patronage. What then ! Labour is the lot of thousands, and few there are amongst those thousands who have the similar privilege of slavery at the rate of 1,0001. per annum. The tree is known by its fruits; where is the result of all this toil P What great and useful measures have been brought about by so much exertion—what evils eradicated— w hat benefits conferred—what tangible and practical change effected by these mysterious midnight medita • tions ? We ask nut for the progressive steps that have first led to convictions, ultimately to terminate in legislation ; but we are fairly entitled to demand that if labour be pleaded as a justification for high salaries, that same labour should be productive of something more than a mere parade of vie inertia. It must be acknowledged that hard work is necessary in order to succeed in any situation, but it by no means fol lows that, unaided by ability, success must be the conse quence. We admire the industry and perseverance with which an urchin concocts a dirt-pie in the streets, and the patience with which a domestic fowl will sit and chuckle over a nest of eggs that we know to be already addled; but iu neither case do we find the labour bestowed upon these objects rewarded in a manner commensurate with the ideas of the principals engaged. The boy, most probably, gets a kick in stead of a penny for defiling his clothes in the gutter, and the "gallina incubans" is condemned to the spit as a reward for her mistaken notions of maternity. If results there be, at all events they have not at tained public notoriety ; and in their absence we may fairly ask, what are the duties of the Lords of the Admiralty—whether their Lordships really are, as they would fain persuade us, "operose nihtl agentes," or whether they may not be in the enj,ly tnetit of as much relaxation and as many holidays as is con sistent with the position of all who would serve the State ? --- EXPERIMENTS AT SHOEBURYNESS. The experiments carried on at the new range on the Essex coast on Wednesday last, in the presence of the Marquis of Anglesey, Master-General of the Ordnance, Lord Clarenc, Puget, Rear-Admiral M. Fitzhardinge 3erkeley, C. 8., Major- G. nerd Lacey, Colonel I)undas, C.B, and Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmer, were made for the purpose of testing two new inventions, one submitted by Major Cavalli, an artillery efficer in the Sardinian service, and the other by Mr. Worrondoff. Major Ca vallt's piece of ordnance, a 32-pounder gun, is very light, being only about three tons, including the gun carriage. Mr. Worrundoff's gun and carriage weighs about eight tons. Both guns are similar in principle in loading at the breach, and the chambers for loading held securely by the insertion of a quoin on the right side of the breech. which is inserted in Mr. Worrundoff's gun with the greatest ease by one man, but in Major Cavalli's gun the quoin had to be knocked out, which occupied longer time betwixt the firing. The shot fired were cast in the conical or sugar-loaf form, similar to the rifle balls of Mr. Lancaster fur long ranges. On firing, Major Cavalli's and Mr. %V ortondoff's guns, with a charge of 10Ibs. of powder, and one of the usual service 32-pounder guns, the two former were found to range considerably more than two miles, and the shot from both guns to proceed fully 300 yards greater range be fore Lacy touched the grouA than toe shot from the common service 32-pounder. The same result was ob tained in several rounds, and the charges of powder in Major Cavalli's and Mr. VVorroedoff 's guns were re duced t Bibs. in each, and then tried in comparison with the common service gun, retaining the charge of 101bs. The result was still in favour of Major Oavalli's and Mr. Worrondoff 's guns, as they, under reduced charges, carried the shut fully fifty yards further than the 32- pounder, with a charge of lOlbs. Both Major Cavalli's and Mr. Woriondaf 's guns were mounted on carriages having ficitittes fur cue man leading each, and afterwards being ebie to move the gun to a con siderable angle to direct it against a steamer passing quickly, which is attained by elevating and depressing screws, and by a motion from side to side, on a prin ciple nearly similar to the plan submitted by Captain the Honourable W. E. Fi , z;naurice, although very dif ferent in detail. The experiments were considered very satisfactory, and the Master General, Rear-Admiral Berkeley, and the members of the select committee were much gratified with the result. The practice ground had been measured off to the extent of two miles and a quarter previous to the experiments, but the range being then much further, it has now been measured off, and posts put up, to the extent of upwards of three miles. During the preliminary trials, one of the guns met with a slignt injury at the chamber, owing, it was supposed, to some deficiency in the casting of the metal, and when it was sent to the Royal Arsenal to be repaired, two inches were cut off instead of mending it, which has proved of great service, as it is now better than it was originally. PRINCE ALBERT AND THE SOUTHAMPTON DINNER. —The Mayor of Southampton having respectfully solicited the honour of the presence of Prince Albert at the banquet to be given by his Worship to the Lord Mayor of London, received the following communication from the Palace : " Osborne, Aug. 7, 185...—Dear Sir,—l have had the honour to submit to his R0y,.1 Highness Prince Albert your letter of the sth inst.

A NEW SORT of POLICE.—Mr. Ma,on, police superintendent of Lincoln, has just returned home from Scotland, with a fine thoroughbred bloodhound, which has been purchased for the purpose of tracking the footsteps of sheep slaughterers, burglars, and other offenders against the laws. The animal is a very fine-looking one, though not particularly large; he is from Ross-shire, and it is ; aid that the cost is about 301. Wa trust the animal's "scenting" propensities may be of some service to the police force. At present depredations are committed with the greatest im punity, but it is not very often that apprehensions takes p lace. —Local Paper.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate ot Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, 8:e. This work contains an accurate and eomplete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It an mrtunately happens that the unhappy rictus of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering Tom their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap lying to a qualified physi .iian for relief. Shame and the dread so 'requently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are leyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where done it can be procured. Dr. LA'MEKT has taken the highest medical honours. 3,4 his eiplomas testify, and the a*reat extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases. euolished by the Author, and may be had of Kent and Richards, st, Paternoster-row; Hannay, 63, Oxford-street; Starie, Tichborne ,a,eet, Haymarket ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Gordon, 146, ...eaden hall-street, Loudon tree by post tor turfy-two stamps. from the Author's Residence. 37. 11.1torr...s.ituare I.ourino TrIIR VY-FIRST EDITION.

About 500 hdds. have been landed. The drift boats have also taken about 500 hdds., and the seine at Pemberth Cove about the same quantity. A seine has 13,2 en shot at Penlea Point this evening (Wednesday), but up to post time there has been no communication with the shore. Another correspondent writes About 1,400 hdds. of fish have been taken in Mount's Bay since our last report. The drift boats were very successful on Tuesday night. Many:of the Newlyn and Mousehole driving boats brought in from sto 10 hdds. of fish per boat. Pemborth seine is now in water, and is auppuied to have about 300 hdds. of fish. ST.

Viol, report that great quantities of pilchards are seen doily on the north coast of the county, from 5 to 7 aeues from the laud. Tho greater part of the boats have returned from the Irish herring fishery, where. upon the whole, they have not more than ch ared their outfit. PORT Loot;.—On the Ist inst., Mr. P.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 9.—Yesterday morning, at me o'clock, an unfortunate married woman, named E lea R.id, was killed by her husband, in their lodelogs, 37, Bridport-street, Liverpool, under the following circum stances:—The prisoner's name is Rofert Reid, a native of the north of Ireland, and is well known in Liverpool, Bolton, and elsewhere as a very clever singer of Irish comic songs, and has latterly been engaged at Mr. Sad dler's, of the Master Humphrey's Clock, Great Charlotte street. Reid and his wife (a woman of very considerable personal attractions) occupied apartments in the House of Mr. Clegg, Bridport-street, and had become a nuisance to the family in consequence of the frequent quarrels which took place between them. Yesterday atternoon both parties went over to Cheshire on pleasure, and re turned in time for Reid to attend at the " Clock." At twelve o'clock Mrs. Reid called at Mr. Saddler's, in order to accompany her husband home. Both left the house amicably together, and proceeded home. When they had reached Bridport street, a person named William Parker (who lives in the same house), overheard the two quarrel, and Reid exclsimed to his wife—" I'll serve you out, my lady, for coming for me to-night." A female lodging in the house, named M'Donald, opened the door for them, when Reid immediately kicked his wife. The deceased rushed into the parlour, and was followed by her husband, who inflicted a very severe blow with his fist, just beneath the kfc ear, when she fell upon her face on the floor. He then left her, and ran upstairs. The inmates of the house were instantly alarmed, and Sergeant Wright (who was on duty in London-road) was called in. He found deceased quite inanimate, with blood issuing from her nose and ears, and sent for Dr. Wilson, who was promptly in attendance. The doctor at once pronounced life to be extinct. Reid, on hearing that his wife was dead, appeared extremely sorry at the fatal issue of the quarrel, and begged the officer to anew him either to poison, hang, or drown himself. He was taken to Rose•hill Bridewell, where he remained until half•past four, when he was conveyed to the main bride- A coroner's inquest was held on the body of the un fortunate fctnale to-day, when the jury, after a full hearing, returned a verdict of manslaughter against the husband. ---- --- THE NEW POPULATION ACT. — Yesterday the new Population Act, for taking the census, was issued.
