Reference has a l ready been made to itt, in our literary department, but we deem the subj'ect treated upon as sufficiently important to de mand from ourselves the present earnest reconsidera• tion. The question examined into by the magazine contrilmitm. la no other than the system of water 141 11 3's as to e d in the capitals of Grelt Bzihuvu THE SUN, France, and the United States. The particulars I upon which the argument referred to is built up have been culled, remember, from official documents, printed in those countries by order of their respective Governments. The deduction drawn from the argu ment is such as to command the serious scrutiny of every individual interested in the salubrity of our I metropolis. Setting out with an allusion to the an tiquity of London as compared with New York, the writer in Bentley's Miscellany remarks, with extra ordinary emphasis, an emphasis that not only appeals at once to our reason, but stimulates, moreover, and that in a very remarkable manner, the powers of our imagination—" London was London when St. Paul was a prisoner in Rome, ten years before the destruc tion of Jerusalem." Adding immediately thereupon, " Sixteen hundred years afterwards, when New York was but just named, London lost some seventy thousand by the plague, and more than thirteen thousand houses by the Great Fire, and hardly missed - them." Since that period, it might be added, the capital of England has spread in all directions to an unexampled magnitude, and contains from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 as the number of its population. Mean while New York, within a circle whose radius cannot extend beyond three miles, embraces only three quarters of a million of inhabitants, being in truth, as here expressed, " a mere JONAR'E gourd" com pared with the British metropolis. Yet, vast as the difference is which is noticable between the two cities, New York possesses an enormous advantage over London in having a supply of pure water for its inhabitants, more than sufficient to satisfy the re quirements of a locality thrice as densely populated. Sixty imperial gallons each twenty•four hours to every inhabitant," is surely a bounteous supply, especially valuable seeing that the water in question is of the purest description, being convey ed from the Croton river, six miles above its mouth, by means of a superb and costly aqueduct. Tnis reminds one of the engineering labours of LEONARDO at Mortesana, and of those other beneficent efforts of genius and munificence which are recorded in the mediaeval ages and in the ages of antiquity. By means of the splendid enterprise evinced in these particulars not only are the citizens of New York supplied with copieus draughts of wholesome and invigorating water, but their capital is through its instrumentality plentifully irrigated in its drainage, its principal streets, moreover, being adorned with fountains. Read the account of the New York aqueduct fur nished through Bentley's Miscellany, and you Will be reminded of those colossal works of the subterranean channels built many centuries ago in the Eternal City, and portions of which still remain to gratify , the curiosity of the traveller and to excite the admi ration of the antiquary. Speaking of this huge con duit of hydraulic masonry of stone and brick, at the time of its original construction, the writer observes, " the commissioners and chief engineers passed through its whole length on foot as soon as it was completed; and when the water was admitted tra versed it again in a boat built for the purpose." By such magnificent structures have the authorities o the American metropolis provided against the poison ing of its inhabitants through the use of polluted and consequently deleterious currents, and this while London—with more than double its wealth—has been draining year after year, up to the present hour, the filthy streams employed by its population both for the purposes of nutrition and sewerage ! Against the latter detestable system we have, again and again, argued, but hitherto, unhappily, without beholding any intimation of even a probable change for the better, either with or without the primary interfe rence of the Legislature. Within view of us, while we are writing, is the Thames reeking in summer heat with the execrable exhalations resulting from the perpetual influx of the sewage of London and , Westminster. Immediately under our window is an intramural graveyard, filled to very repletion with the decaying remains of the departed. Tide after tide stirs up the abominable refuse poured into theriver; month at ter month additional corpses are added to those already crowded into the graveyards. With these evidences of the melancholy system of indifference perceptible in regard to the sanitary reforms so long required, under our own immediate observation, and this snore over uninterruptedly as it were, surely there can be' no great marvel at our fruquent and untiring allu sions to a matter which admits with impunity of no procrastination or indifference. Until we perceive some beneficial change actually accomplished, we shall not cease to protest against the perpetuation of practices which we regard as detrimental, not only to the health, but to the morality also of the popula tion of London and Westminster. The recent trisl of JAMES HUGGINS, at the Central C , iniinal C )urt, for arson, and the attempt that wi.s made to set up lunacy as a defence, has again directed public attention to the very unsatisfactory state of our law in all that relates to lunatics, or alleged lunatics, or to pretended lunatics. We have frequently had occasion, and we fear we shall frequently have occasion again, to direct public attention to the disgraceful state of the law as it, affects persons not criminals, who are alleged to be lunatics. On the present occasion we would fain direct the attention of our legislators, and more particularly of the law officers of the Crown and the Home Secretary, to the equally uns satisfactory state of the law as it regards the proof of lunacy when lunacy is set up as a defence to a criminal indictment, and the utter worthlessness of medical opinions as guides to the jury in their decision on such cases. This defective state of the law is clearly illustrated in this case of JAMES HUGGINS, who was tried and convicted of arson on Friday last, at the Central Criminal Court. JAMES HudGies is 39 years of age, is a shrewd, sharp attorney, was possessed of considerable house property, and having purchased an old house and insured it for 1,5001., which was considerably more than its value, he, in the most artful manner possible, contrived a plan for the burn ing down of this house, so as to pocket the insurance money, which plan he was two months engaged in putting into execution, devising machines for facilitat ing the ignition and speedy destruction of the building, utterly regardless of the lives of his two servants, who were residing in it, and whom he seemed quite prepared to sacrifice, provided by such sacrifice he could put into his own pocket 1,5001. These facts are proved at the trial, they are not controverted by the prisoner or by his advisers ; but it is considered that it is a sufficient answer to the indictment to say that the prisoner was not of sound mind at the time of and previous to the commission of the act, and to support this defence some witnesses were called who deposed to certain acts of eccentricity which any shrewd man contemplating crime might, and probably would, affect in order to lay the foundation for a defence, and several medical gentlemen who all declared that in their opinion the prisoner was of unsound mind, or on the verge of being of unsound mind, but none of whom ventured to go the length of saying that the prisoner did not know right from wrong. Now we would most respectfully a,k any and all these witnesses whether, bad not Mr. HUGGINS placed his life in jeopardy by his criminal act, they would, any of them, have ventured even to hint an opinion that this shrewd attorney was of unsound mind. Most fortuniste it is for them that they did not say on the 30th May (the day before the fire) of and concerning the mind of JAMES HUGGINS those things which they said on the 11th July, or most assuredly they would each and every of them have been I served with a writ in an action for defamation at the suit of the said JAMES HUGGINS, who would (had the fire not happened in the interim) have recovered sw i nge i n g damages for the injury that such state ments were likely to occasion him in the practice of his profession as an attorney. Fortunately, the jury were men of plain common sense, who could not be induced to believe on a w medical as authority a that the commission of the cr i me charged proof of lunacy. Such, however, un happily is not always the case, and we shall too often this find, un til some alteration ta k es p l ace i n th e l aw, that notic e , will which at present is always set up withoutdefence will enable many atrocious villains to escape th e Punishment justly due to their crimes. It appears to us that a very simple alteration in the mode of criminal procedure would effect a very great improvement i n th e l aw, and go far to remedy the evil of whi c h we so justly complain. We would sug gest that a Bill should be passedart of enacting that whenever it is intend e d on the Part set up lunacy as a deface to a prisoner to diotment such LONDON, plea of lunacy must be pleaded in bar to the in dictment, that is to say, when the prisoner is called upon to plead guilty or not guilty, he shall plead lunacy, whereupon a jury shall be im pannelled to try the question—" Is the prisoner of sound mind ? ay or no," such question to be decided irrespective of the circumstances relating to the crime with which the prisoner is charged, and that if the jury find be is of sound mind he shall be called upon to plead to the indictment ; but that in no case after a prisoner has once pleaded to an indict ment shall it be competent fur the defence to raise the question of lunacy or no lunacy. By the adop tion of some such provision as this, the real lunatic would be more effectually protected, whilst the sham lunatic would not be permitted to escape from justice ; and we are satisfied that, ere long, the public safety will require the enactment of some such provision as that which we have suggested. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We hare received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. Tim Coma tutionnel of Saturday contained the fol lowing announcement:— " It - was announced last evening that General Bare guay d'Elillters is replaced in his command by General Castellane. General Carrelet is to resign the command of the first military division, and replace General Cas tellane at Lyons. General Baragusy who is *offering from an affection of the liver, is about to pro ceed to the baths of Aix, in Savoy." General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS gave a very dif ferent account of the reason of his dismissal. He stated to several persons on Friday, that he had been deprived of his command because the PRESIDENT VMS desirous of conferring it on some General who was not a Member of the Assembly. This statement, which seemed to portend some ar- Here pensoe on the part of the PRESIDENT, coupled with the fact that General CASTeL LANS is known to entertain the most supreme hatred and contempt not only for representative but for civil government, and that be is the reckless and unscrupulous partisan of the BONAPARTE family, caused great agitation among the Members of the Assembly, and they were preparing to adopt mea sures to counteract the plans which they believed to be in preparation for their subjection, when the ad visers of the Elysee became alarmed at the position in which they found themselves placed, and on Sunday the appointment of General CASTELLANE was sus pended ; this retrograde step cannot but be as da maging to the Bonapartist fraction of the reactionary party as is the failure of the fusion project to the Le gitimatists and Orleanists. It is almost certain that the Assembly will reject the project for the revision of the Constitution. The Ordre, which is the organ of MM. TRIERS and ODILON BARROT, gives the fol lowing as the unanimous decision of the Committee of revision. It says— "lt is vain that parties try to modify the sense and meaning of the declarations made by M. de Tocquee vine in the name of the committee being all unanimous on the subject. From these clear and , positive declara tions it results that in case the revision of the Con stitution be nut voted the Constitution itself receives a new consecration, and that it must be invariably and universally obeyed. It is understood that all attempts having for its object to incite the people in favour of un constitutional candidates would not only be improper and irregular but culpable. It is understood that no person shall think, and that no person shall dare to say, that the National Assembly, the guardian of law, would quietly allow anybody under its eyes to carry the nation into such a new career of revolution and adventure. It is understood, in fine, that the duty of the Assembly, the sentiment of its responsibility, its interest, and its honour, oblige it to defend the Constitution if violated. It is not only the six members opposed to the revision who speak thus alone, but along with them Messrs. de Broglie, Berryer, Odilon Bunt, Montalembert, Moulin, de Melun, Dufour, Corcelles, and Tocqueville. After so solemn a warning, can any one entertain the illusion that the Assembly would ratify an unconstitutional election? To push for such an election we cannot too often repeat would be to drive the country to civil war and to a revolution." Galignanis Messenger states that the PRESIDENT of the Republic, to whom had been referred the mat ters in disp ute between the United States and Por tugal, has just given his award in favour of Portugal. The report of M. DE MELUN (du Nord) on peti tions for the revision of the Constitution was on Fri day distributed to the Assembly. Annexed to this report is a tail*, arranged by departments, of the petitions which had been presented up to July 1 in clusively. The department of the Seine has sent a total of 37,881 signatures, crosses, and adhesions, of which 34 781 are tor the revision ; 2,206 of the revision and the prolongation, and 894 for the prolongation alone. The departments which have furnished the tzre4te‘t number of signatures are, the Meuse, 41,469; Chirente Inferieure, 41,136; and the Cha rente, 38.562. The departments of the Finistere, the Morbihan, and La Vendee have furnished the smallest number, being 137,217, and 514 respectively. The Marne has sent .be greatest number of unconstitutional petitions, the number of signatures b-ing 18,751. Next to it comes the C6.es du Nord, which has fur nished 7,298, and the Gironde 3,897. The committee proposes to set aside by the previous question all the un constitutional petitions, which bear 45 , 841 signatures. As to the 7.692 crosses and adhesions which are not certified, thy will be regarded as null and void. Thus 1.070 092 tignatures or adhesions of all kinds will be depusved at the Bureau des Renseignments. The Patrie declares that the statement of the National, that M. DE FALLOUX bad told the PRESI DENT of the Republic that it was his intention to use all his influence to obtain the prolongation of his powers, is utterly destitute of foundation. The PRE SIDENT of the Republic has not, says the Patrie, even seen M. DE FALLOUX since the arrival of that gentle man in Paris. The Patrie says :--" The seizure of a number of uniforms in the packages addressed to the Duke of BRUNSWICK, has been the subject of general conver sation, and several journals have gone so far as to stare that interpellations would be put to the Govern ment on the subject. The following is the version of the affair, the correctness of which we can guarantee. It was so far back as 1832, that the Duke of BRUNS WICK had these uniforms, to the number of about 6,000, made at Bordeaux. The Duke at that time hoped to obtain the authorisation to assemble and equip an armed body, in order to recover his duchy. of having succeeded in these attempts, and the French Government having sent him to the frontier for the fact, the Duke of BRUNSWICK had the uni forms brought to him at Paris, and afterwards sent them to London, where they have ever since been lying. On returning to Paris, the Duke thought he might again have them sent here, in order to get rid of them, and it is during their passage that they have been seized by the custom-house officers. If we are well informed, the Duke of BRUNSWICK now wishes to get rid of them at the best price he can obtain." BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 12.

Accounts from Frankfort of the 9th state that the Austrian Cabinet hus determined to propose measures for the preservation and augmentation of the German fleet in the North Sea. The Weiner Zeitung publishes, in its official part, an ordinance on the periodical and foreign press. This ordinance, headed by a preamble of motives, was approved by the EMPEROR, at Seconbrun, on the 6th instant. The following are its principal provisions " Article 1 permits the superior adminstrative au thority to suspend for three months, after two warning s in writing, any jou rna l or per i o di ca l which persists in pursuing a course opposed to the Throne, to the unity and integrity of the empire, to religion, morals, &c. " Article 2 authorise s th e Mi n i s t er of the Interior to stop the circulation of Lreign journals and periodicals throughout the whole of tie empire, in which case the post offices are prohibited to forward them. " Article 5 imposes a penalty of from 500 florins, or in aggravated cases imprisonment from one to three months, on any one publishing or distributing any jour. nal while under sentence of suspension or prohibition." Bavaria and Wirtemburgh have determined to withdraw from the Zollverein. RUSSIA. A letter from St. Potersburgb, 3d. inst., states that an Imperial ukase has ordered the Governments of the half of the eastern part of the Empire to furnish five recruits out of every 1,000 of the population, in order to complete the land and sea forces. TURKEY. A letter from Constantinople, 28th ult., received Ger many, announces that the new National Bank bas been established in that city with a capital of 100,000,000 of Turkish piastres (about 25,000,000 of francs). ITALY. In the sitting of the Btb, of the Chamber of Depu- ties of Turin, the treaty of commerce and naviga tion between iitutinia andliollawl was adopted 15y 87 votes to 5. The discussion on the National Bank was afterwards resumed, but adjourned to the following day, after a speech of Signor DESPEETIS against the Bill. The Official Milan Gazette of the 7th publishes the regulations for the Free Port of Venice. The limits are declared to extend from the port of Mala mocco to the dyke of Garzina, near Sant 'Erasmo ; the intermediate line is to be marked by coloured poles. Within these limits trade is to be perfectly free, and no customs' duties are to be levied upon any description of merchandise. There are to be cus tom-houses at Treporti, Mazzerbo, Campalto, Fusina, and San Pietro in Volta, forming a second line around the first. The intermediate space is to be the circon dario doganale, or territory of the customs. Vessels of all nations are free to enter the ports of Lido and Malamocco without paying customs' duties.

(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) His Honour this morning heard and disposed of a number of unimportant causes. (Before Vice-Chancellor LORD CRA.NWORTH.) EGERToN V. EARL BROWNLUW. This case, which is a demurrer to a bill filed by the infant son of the late Lord Oxford, praying that he might be declared equitable tenant-in-tail of certain estates under the wilt of the late Earl of Bridgewater, was proceeded with. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL commenced his reply this morning. (Before Vice-Chancellor TURNER ) MOORE V. PRANCE. This case, opened on Saturday, was proceeded with this morning. Their are two suits in the case, the object of which is to have a deed delivered up which had been executed by the plaintiff, as it was alleged, merely to enable money to be raised. The defendant had required an apology to be made for observations of a personal nature, and a large body of evidence was gone into of a personal and irritating kind. BOW-STREET.-(THISDAY.) Frederick Banks was brought before Mr. Hall under these circumstances:—About two o'clock yesterday the prisoner applied at the station-house, in Bow-street, and demanded to be taken into custody, on his own confes sion for having embezzled money received on account of his employer, Mr. Smith, of Long-acre, provision mer chant. It appeared that only three weeks ago he had sur rendered himself with a similar confession, at the same police station, but on that occasion Mr. Smith declined to prosecute. The prosecutor now stated that after the prisoner was discharged he (Mr. Smith) took bins back into his ser vice as traveller, in the hope that the shame he had brought upon himself would be a lesson to him, and that he would not be guilty of any further dishonesty ; but the prisoner kept back several payments since his brief return to his employment. Ho was not at that moment prepared with an account of the sums em b zzled, but be would on Thursd2y produce them and some of the customers who had made payments, if the magistrate put off the case until then. _ Mr. Hall accordingly remanded the prisoner to Thursday next. MARLBRO'-STREEr—(THIS DAY). SINGULAR CHARGE or ROBBERY.—Maria. Stewart, a welt-dr. a,ed W 1,1113101, proprietress of what is called a " gay house, " 13, Buukingham-street, Fitzroy square, was brought befo-e Mr. Long, charged with stealing a silver watch, belonging to George Vivian, Marlborough place, andt-r the following circumstances : It appeared, from the confused statement made by the prosecutor, that between ten and eleven last eight, he ao compan.ed a female to the house of the prisoner, and was bhuwn into a bed-room, where, after stopping for a few minutes, the prisoner came into the room, and went up to a portion of his clothing, of which he had divested him self, and which was laying on a chair, by the bedside, and befoul fumbling about the pockets. He called out, " Poll, what do you want?" when she replied," I am only come for my chain which I left on the mantle-piece." She then left the room, and on prosecutor feeling in his waistcoat pocket he missed his watch. He then went out and fetched a constable, and gave her in charge. Police•consiable 100 C said, at the request of the pro secutor he went to No. 13, Buckingham-street, where he saw the prisoner, who, on being told the nature of the charge against her, produced the watch, and said she had lent the prosecutor 10s. upon it, as he had nu money to pay the lady he had been with, and she was quite ready to give it up upon his giving her the 10s. she had lent him. The prosecutor denied having borrowed the money, and witness took the prisoner into custody. The prosecutor appeared to have been drinking. The prisoner, in defence, said the statement she made to the constable was quite true, and she had five wit nesses to prove it. In reply to Mr. LONG, the prosecutor said he gave the f ema l e whom he had been with a half sovereign, and if he did receive any money from the prisoner he was not aware of it. Kate 13Glicham said she occupied apartments in the pri soner's house, On the previous night the prisoner met her and asked her to allow him to go home with her; she did so, and he promised to give her 10s. After remain ing with her about en hour, he felt in his pocket, and said he had left his purse at home, and would call and pay her to-morrow. She told him that would not do, and then sent for her landlady (ihe prisoner), who, at his request, lent him los. upon his watch, and gave him a written paper to the effect that when be paid the 10s. the watch should be delivered to him. He took the money and gave it to witness, and then left the house; but in a short time he came back and gave prisoner in charge for stealing his watch. Other witnesses having corroborated the evidence of last witness, Mr. LONG said it was unnecessary to go on with the case any further; he was of opinion the prisoner lent him the money, and should therefore discharge her. and directed her to keep the watch till prosecutor paid her the 10s. lent upon it. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—James Jones was charged before Mr. Long with having embezzled several sums of money received for and on account of his em ployer, Mr. Constantine, the well-known artificial .fleuriate of Reg en t-s' reef. Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, attended for the prose cution, and said there were at least 50 cases against the prisoner, but at present he was not prepared to go into them all. There were two cases complete, one for receiving from the Countess Grey the sum of 21. I ls. 6d., and from Mrs. Munday the sum of 51, 183., while he had converted to his o.n use, and not accounted for to the prosecutor. After evidence had been heard in proof of his statement he should ask for a remand. Earl Grey's steward and Mr. Munday's butler pro duced the billet and receipts fur the suing they bad paid to the prisoner, who receipted the bills in his own name. rhe handwriting of the prisoner wad identified by the prosecutor. The prisoner, who admitted his guilt, was remanded for a week. Bail was applied for, but refused. The amount embEzzled by the prisoner was stated to be over 3001.

The Right Reverend Prelate eloquently dwelt upon theinterest taken in the in stitution by the late illustrious eta esman, and many other distinguished personages who had ceased to watch its good workings in this world. No less ban 138,448 patients had participated in the benefits of the clarity since its commence ment, and the increasing requirements of the community demanded its prosperity, alike for the many afflicted indi viduals depending on its bounty, is for the instruction of those devoting their talents and energies to the healing art.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 100 Egyptian, at 61d. to 71d ; and 200 Surat, at 3d. to 31d. per lb. The market was quiet but steady, at previous rates.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business was done at lower rates. The marked apathy on the part of the public which, for some time past, has prevailed in respect to Railway Shares is, as the customary sequel of undue excitement, in some respects explicable. Extremes, however, may exist either way, and we apprehend that many shares now are as causelessly depressed as they were before advanced. Dividends are, after all, the true test, and a fair consideration of future prospects should, in addition, aetermine present values. Messrs. J. S. Tripp and Co., in a circular just issued, estimate the dividend for the first half of this year, at the rate per cent. per annum of 2 per cent. on East Lancashire, 3 per cent. on Great Northern, 4i per cent. on Great Western, 5i per cent. on North-Western, 3i on Brighton, 2 on Midland, 3on South• Eastern, and 3i on York and Berwick. The last six weeks of the half-year ending June, 1851, justifies the belief of increased dividends hereafer. The London and Nor, h-Western take the lead, and East Lancashire, Great Western, &c., are to be included. The only reason we can assign fur the great depres sion of the Railway Share market is, that people have not recovered firm the fright of the recent fall, and as is usually the case, the public prefer buying on a rising to a falling market. It has been stated that the large quantity of shares still in pawn hangs as a nightmare on the market, and prevents any improvement in prices— that immediately upon a rise this stock is poured upon the market. Now if this were really so, we should finn the contangos on the account days increase; i. e., the rate of interest charged for loans upon shares would be higher, but the reverse is the tact, fur scarcely at any moment could money be raised upon shares with greater facility or at more moderate rates than at the present time, and we are assured that at Liverpool the facilities for borrowing money on railway shares are even greater than here, from which we conclude there is no probability of any amount of stock coming on the market at present prices; and we believe that when the half-yearly accounts are published, and the fsvourabl. results of the last half-year's working become known, capitalists will be induced to purchase at present prices, when a smart improvement must f , llow. There is another important feature which must not be lost sight of, viz., the decrease in railway calls. Touching, therefore, present values, there are nu secu rities so convertible as railways share that offer an equal immediate or prospective return to the capitalist. Take, for instance, the London and North-Western with a reserve fund in hand of 151 2911., with a dividend just due of 2! per cent., and another dividend due in six months hided of 3 per cent. at least, together amounting to 51. 155., which the tresent purchaser will receive within six months from the date of his investment, and he will then be the holder of a stock which will subs°. quently pay him a minimum dividend of 6 per cent., with a prospect of a gradual rise to 10 per cent. We are therefore decidedly of opinion that the prices of railway shares are now toe low. Granted that there are parties who, at the first consi derable advance, are waiting to realize, yet the capitalist must bear in mind that next year, there will be no rail way calls to ul-ct the market—the wealth of the coun try will be coi:siderably augmented by the railwapi being nearly all completed and returning dividends, and iha. there will be no other investment of sufficient ma; nittele, excepting our railways, that will yield a sate and profitable return, that can carry off the, enormous sur plus capital of next year, which we estimate will be at least equal t forty millions sterling. With consul above 100/, which next year will be the case, it is non sense to suppose that railway property will not be in re quest. For Wheat prices are steady to-day. Oats are lower. The express in anticipation of the overland mail ha , arrived, but the letters are nit yet in town. The state of tradt , in India dues nut appear to be very favourably reported on. The New York advises notice the failure of one or two firms, own g to the revulsion i❑ Cotton. This was fu;ly expected. The flimburgh mail brings the rate of Exchange f higher on Loudon, viz., 13 3f.

In the Baltic and Bil lc o Sea ports, very large supplies of the former article been taken by Erogilati speculators, at comparati/et' nigh rates. The United States markets have beets bt and the quotations have tended upwards. II The arrivals of English grain up to our market . 11 , 8 week were small.

A few parcels charged bands for shipment from the East coast witbie the pet-sent month, at very full curre7; ries; but dealers generally were not disposed to oper a ' 0 beyond the Ist proximo, under, possibly the impreell% that even present low rates are not safe. The stocks '- the eastern districts are now much reduced. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily silly plied with fresh foreign Wheat; but the show of sarnP i r, ex granary was moderately extensive.
