DA GLORIA and her minions are already evincing a disinclination to comply with the condi tions of the protocol, and a determination to relieve themselves, if possible, from the onerous necessity of their fulfilment. When the insurgent forces were reduced to submission by the interference of the three foreign Powers, we fully anticipated that the Court faction would, with its accustomed duplicity, assume that appearance of patriotism of which it is in fact the direct antithesis. Nevertheless, we conceived it pro bable that the hypocrisy of the SOVEREIGN and her immediate supporters would be continued until such a reasonable amount of time had elapsed that an opportunity presented itself for the safe disclosure of their turpitude. The rashness of the Royalists has, however, proved this supposition to have been utterly erroneous. Scarcely is the ink dried upon the parchment when the solemn engagements of the Queen of PORTUGAL are one after another evaded. Nor are her adherents satisfied with cajoling the ple nipotentiaries of England, Spain, and France, but they are already arranging measures for the resto ration to supreme authority of those infamous men against whose administration the whole nation lately rose up in arms. Yes ! they appear to be incited by the same spirit of allegiance which animates the Estandarte ; they seem to mock the adulation of that venal organ, and to testify in intrigue, if not in lan guage, the conviction that " the unheard-of pros perity which Portugal enjoyed under the Cabral Administration forms the most brilliant pearl in the glorious crown of the Conde DE TISOMAR !" They strew the pathway of that traitorous statesman with the flowers of their anticipation and sycophancy. They laugh to scorn those aspirations for freedom which recently imparted strength and dignity to the in surgent Portuguese; and now, after crowning the graceless soldiers of SALDANHA with laurel, they are preparing the way for the employment of those sol diers in a suitable piece of villany, by inducing them to connive at the re-admission of COSTA CABRAL to the capital, and his ultimate re-elevation to the com mand of the government. In accordance with the third condition of the cele brated protocol of the 21st of May, a communication has been addressed to the Ministerial advisers of MARIA DA GLORIA, demanding, in emphatic but respectful terms, the f u lfil ment o f that most important of all the stipulations, by the dispersion of the present Cabinet and the formation of a new one of a popular and patriotic character. Instead of complying with this requisition, the schemers of the palace at Lisbon have transmitted an evasive remonstrance to the Cabinets of St. James's, and the Tuileries, and, beyond that have commenced a series of secret negotiations, which, if not worsted betimes, must end in the restoration of the Count DE THOMAR to the direction of affairs, and the consequent endangerment of the tranquillity of the kingdom. Meetings are already frequent among those who were originally impli cated with the CABRALS, and the impunity of their treacherous machinations has only rendered them more audacious in their proceedings, and more implacable, in their animosities. As a fitting corollary to these announcements it must likewise be mentioned that COSTA CABRAL has been succeeded in the Madrid Legation by the late Envoy Extraordinary at Berlin (Senhor &unlock), and that the former is expected to make his appearance very speedily within the walls of Lisbon. What, meanwhile, has befallen the po pular chieftain, Des ANTAS, and his u n yi e ldi ng Lieutenant, SA BA B ANDE/RA ? Are they prepar e d to witness the subjugation of their co untry by a faction which is the abhorrence o f its inhabitants ? Bomrim, at Angola , may be vigil an t, b ut must nee" sor ily be incapable of aiding in the expulsion of traitors, and in the punishment of treasons com mitted against the Constitution. DAs ANTAS and SA DA BANDEIEA are so far untrammelled by cir cumstances or position as to be capable of detecting treachery and of forming plans for its expiation. GOD forbid that the provinces of Portugal should be again desolated by the ravages of civil war ! GOD forbid that its soil should be again fattened by the blood of its citizens ! None can be more solicitous thou ourselves to behold the tranquil regeneration of that country, and to know that dissension is perma nently banished from among its children. Yet from our very solicitude in that particular we are prepar ed to rejoice in ts, e victor of t h e insurgent population in the event of s a y coup de main in behalf of the execrable Cabralists.

DE VARENNE, re quiring the formation of a new Ministry, according to the terms of the memorable protocol. Yet, in spite of the justice of this communication, in spite of the delicacy with which it had been worded, in spite of the 'critical position to which Royalist audacity had so recently reduced the SOVEREIGN, it remains unanswered, except in the preposterous appeals for warded to the Governments of Frame and England. We suspect that the generous interposition of the Allied Powers has only rendered the CABRALS and their associates more callous and resolute. Should such, unfortunately, prove the case, they may rest satisfied that they will be engulphed in the wrath of an outraged nation. The Report of the Select Committee on our Com mercial Relations with China, which has just been published, is indeed a remarkable document. It is needless to expatiate on the vast importance of the question which formed the subject-matter of these labours. England is essentially a commercial country, and her general prosperity is intimately connected with, if not dependent on, the state of her mercantile relations with other lands. The vast improvements that have recently taken place in machinery of every description, the increased facilities of production have been such, that the only assignable limit to our manufactures is the demand therefor. We could, without any great difficulty, readily under• take the supply of the whole world with woollens, cottons, and other chief products of our national industry and skill. When these are freely called for, and full employment is thereby afforded to our manufacturing population, the favour able results areimmediately apparent—peace and con tentment is to be found on every side. The happi ness of the artizan is participated in by the agricultu rist, and shared by every class in the community. There can be no greater absurdity than that of the monopolists, who fancied they could benefit one parti cular body at the general expense. Every attempt to do so was invariably abortive and inef fectual to attain the end proposed, but it had the most injurious effects on the general welfare. Sounder views have, however, been disseminated of late years. The merest tyro is now possessed of political knowledge greater than that formerly en joyed by statesmen of the highest rank and the greatest experience, and is enabled to adduce unan swerable arguments in support of his doctrines. The events which, as it was supposed, had opened to our merchants new markets, which apparently gave us commercial access to a civilised empire, with more than three hundred millions of inhabitants, were naturally regarded with the deepest interest and the most pleasing anticipations, but unfortunately the results did not correspond with the reasonable expectations of the people. It was found that, in place of a vast increase, there had been a considerable falling off, and that not only were the hoped-for profits unrealised, but that ruinous losses attended every mercantile speculation : what could be the causes that led to this extraordinary and unlooked for failure was demanded on every side ; and, although it has long been ascribed by clear-sighted and intelligent men to the illiberality and exorbitant character of the duties levied on the introduction of the chief product of China into our land, it was de sirable that the subject should be fully investigated by a body having access to every means of informa tion, and competent to draw sound conclusions on the data thus afforded. Hence the appointment of a Special Committee by the House, with full authority to send for persons, papers, and records, and hence the report of that Committee now under notice. The Committee first state the fact already too pain fully known to every person in any manner connected with the trade with China, viz., " that the trade with that country has been for some time in a very unsa tisfactory position, and that the result of our extended intercourse has by no means realised the just expecta tions which had been naturally founded on a freer access to so magnificent a market." This conclusion is deduced as well from the tables of exports, which mark a serious reduction in every branch of our ma nufactures, as from the statements of experienced merchants and manufacturers. By the tables a de cline of the exports of cotton goods, between 1845 and 1846, of nearly one-third, is apparent, or from 1,735,1411. to 1,246,5181; while those of woollens have fallen in the same period from 339,223/. to 439,6681. But bad as this is, it is by no means the worst feature in the case, for there has been an average loss, taken both ways—viz., on the manufactures sent out and the teas brought home in payment—of from 3.5 to 40 per cent. Under these untoward circumstances it is not surprising that there should be a serious risk of the whole trade being lost to the country. Few will in vest their capital, and undertake the trouble and re sponsibility of conducting heavy mercantile transac tions, unless there is a reasonable prospect of a fair and remunerative profit. When this is taken away, when the same causes that hitherto occasioned these losses are suffered to prevail, the natural conse quence must be that there will be a general with drawal from the trade ; and so it would have been, but that hope is ever strong in the human mind, and our merchants trust that a more propitious and sounder policy will speedily enable them to retrieve their losses and to obtain the fruits of their legitimate enterprise. This has induced many still to remain ; but, even as it is, " several manufacturers have abandoned the trade altogether, and much of the tea lately sent home has been on Chinese account, the English merchant declining to run the risk of the venture." These difficulties do not arise from the want of de. mand in China for our manufactures, nor from the in creasing competition of other nations—the sole diffi culty is in providing a means of payment for the goods which are in ready demand. The Committee explain the causes that have led to this falling off, and suggest the means by which it may be remedied, and in so doing they cite facts that afford the most satis factory evidence (if any additional were required) of the truth of the great principle, " that an increase of taxation does not produce corresponding improve ment in the revenue ;" but, on the contrary, a diminished duty will frequently be more productive to the Exchequer than a very high charge. We are unable this day to conclude our observa tions on this most important report, to which we shall speedily return. readiness to turn out should tranquillity be disturbed, but down to midnight, when the mail left, no fur ther incident had occurred. The L‘v.int mail brings intelligence from Constan _ _ . tinople to the 27th, from Smyrna to the 29th ; from Athens to the 30th ult., and from Malta to the 4th inst. BEDERRHAN BEY, the rebel chief of Kurdistan, has surrendered to OSMAN PACHA, and is on his road to Constantinople as prisoner. Disturbances have broken out in the district of Malacassa, Upper Al bania, and two battalions of Imperial troops have been dispatched thither to restore tranquillity. The differences between Turkey and Greece still continue. It would almost appear as if the Austrians were courting a collision with the subjects of the POPE. Letters from Ferrara, of the 6th instant, state that on the Ist instant an Austrian officer, on his way back to the citadel, h av i ng b een insulted by some drunken workmen coming out of a tavern, fled in all haste to the barrack of San Domenico, and demanded four men to escort him home. On reac!ning the citadel he waited on the Governor, and told him that he had been arrested by a patrol of Natimial Guards, by whom he had been forced to dance and sing. Th e General immediately forwarded a report of the affair to the General-in-Chief of the Austrian army at Verona, and informed the Legate, Cardinal CIACCUI, that he would in future establish patrols along the esplanade. The Legate remonstrated in, vain against the measure, and to avoid a collision ordered the Civic Guards not to approach the 'esplanade after a certain hour of the night. On the morning of the 6th the General, having received his in structions from Verona, notified to the Car • dinal that, for the security of his officers, who lodged in the town, he would send in night patrols ; and that if they were insulted they would fi w r o e u would rights. ptrThoetoespetthiosapgtlehaien General The Cardinal replied that he d that violation o t f a the n 1 theP might Cardinal lubt accordingly answered , that he act as h e p l eased, he would execute his orders. Th e C ard drew h up an ener getic prote s t, w hi ch ressisgended in h presence of the notary Moyr r , an d add document to th e P OPE, to the ut e v ut . ic copies of the e R AID of Lom bardy, at Milan, an d to General AIM TSKI, at ' Verona. In the meantim e h e apprised th e inhabit ants of what had passed, a n d recommended them observe the greatest prudence. At a quarter to ten o o'clock, p.m., the Austrian patrols issue d from the citadel and entered the town. One of them, on enter ing the small square of Gorgadello, perceiving some persons advancing in their direction, fired three shots upon them, which fortunately did not take effect. A little further another shot was fired which caused no injury. The Cardinal, under those circumstances, gave orders to the troops of the gfaris;on and the eiVig Guards to take arms and hold .themselves in The news of the appointment of FIALIL PACHA to the post of High Admiral is confirmed. The Eng lish Embassy has been broken into by thieves, who have stolen some money and papers from Count PHAN!, the interpreter. The cutter-yacht Sapphire, C. B. BLAYDES, Esq., owner, touching the safety of which some fears were entertained, there having been no tidings of her ar rival at Algiers for some length of time after her sailing from Tunis, arrived at Malta, from this latter port, having her owner on board, on the 3d, on which day the French steam-frigate Pluton, Viscount Ds KEROUICARTZ, arrived from Naples, announcing that the Prince Da JOINVILLE, with a part of his squa dron of line-of-battle ships, was at Castellamare, whilst the Jupiter and another liner were at Tunis, dispatched thither from Palermo, under the usual summer rumour of the fear of an expedition against that regency from Constantinople, though it is noto rious that the Ottoman fleet is not destined further westward than the shores of Albania, the blockade of which is officially announced. Intelligence from Lisbon of the 9th, and from Oporto of the 10th instant, has been received by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Pacha. The new Ministry has not been appointed, the mission of Count LA.VRADIO having been merely a ruse on the part of the QUEEN to gain time. Sir HORACE SEYMOUR'S remonstrances have been treated with contempt, and the QUEEN is encouraged in this course by the French and Spanish Ministers. The Cabra listas are holding secret meetings, which are attended by Padre MARCOS, the QUEEN'S confessor, to devise plans for inciting the troops to demand the restora tion of COSTA CABRAL to power. The appointment of the KING as Commander-in-Chief, although con trary to the charter, has not been rescinded, and the Cabralistas are everywhere committing the greatest outrages. Sorle nights ago a party of officers went into a beer-shop, kept by a Frenchman of the name of MAILLARD, and committed the outrage stated in the following letter, addressed by him to his Minister, M. DE VARENNES : (Translation.) " Lisbon, Aug. 7, 1847. " Monsieur le Ministre,—l have the honour to inform you that, yesterday evening, at six o'clock, three mili tary officers, one of them belonging to the Chasseurs, and the other two to one of the infantry regiments of the garrison of Lisbon, entered my wine and beer store, at No. 72, Rua das Capelistas, where, having called my clerk, they ordered him never again to have the Revo lucao de Setembro (an authorised journal) on the table, and having torn it and stamped upon it, they declared they would come again in a few days, and that if they found that paper there, they would break all the bottles, and reduce everything to shivers. " I consequently address myself to you for protection and redress.—l have the honour, &c., (Signed) " J. MAILLARD." The following letter has been received by an inha bitant of Lisbon from Count BoMFIM "On board the Relampago, at anchor in the port of Loanda, Angola, April 11. 1847. "My dear friend,—We arrived here on the 25th ult. On the 27th, twelve of my companions in misfortune were sent to Fort St. Michael, and on the 28th I was removed on board this sloop of war. My two sons re quested to be allowed to accompany me. The Governor gave permission to Lewis to do so, but refused it to Jose t3ento, to whom another destination had been assigned at Lisbon ; but he allowed him to visit me on the 4th and sth, atter which he was sent to Benguela, together with Major Horta. Some of my comrades have been cAmtined in Forts Penedo and St. Pedro, and four others are yet on board the brig Andes, which conveyed us here. We are all under strict surveillance, and not al lowed to communicate with any one, but the officers treat us well. A subscription was raised for us on shore., which produced 4,000 milreis. There i. mush sympath3• tor us here, but we are the first prisoners brought from Europe who were ever kept in confinement after their arrival. We are in health, and have not lost courage.-- Yours, &c., (Signed) " COUNT DE BOMFI31." Madrid journals of the Bth and 9th instant hare been received. The QUEEN returned to La Granja on the 6th, at a late hour in the evening. Some members of the Progressist party, who were assembled to do honour to General InianTE, proposed. to give her MAJESTY a serenade, but fearful of dis— turbing her at so late an hour, they refrained. The. QUEEN, however, having heard of their intention, desired that it should be carried into effect, and seat - ing herself on the balcony, listened to their music for a very long time. On the 7th her MAJESTY honoured General 1.2. P. ARTE with an interview, and received him with greet kindness and respect. The efforts of PACHECO and BENAVIDES to effeQt a reconciliation between the QUEEN and her Consoi t, have proved ineffectual, in consequence of the impos sible conditions demanded by the KING as the price of his compliance. According to the Espectador, proofs have been ob tained of the existence of a secret anti •national con spiracy, the members of which all belong to the A.francesado party. A Carlist band, 150 strong, had appeared at Me mell, in Catalonia. Carlist bands had likewise made their appearance in the province of Gallicia. Gen e ral CONCHA arrived at Zamora on the 4th. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 9.—The Three per Cera ts. closed at Madrid on the 9th at HI cash ; the Five per Cents. 17-1-; Coupons at 15 cash, and Passives, 51 paper. We have received the Paris papers of Friday sold Saturday. The KING has arrived at Eu. The distribution of the prizes to the collegee of Paris and Versailles took place on Thursday at the Sorbonne, M. DE SALVANDY, Minister of Public In struction, Grand Master of the University in the chair. Amongst the company present were M. lvizor, Count DE RAMBUTE AU, Prefect of the Si?lne, the Bishop of ALGIERS, Viscount VICTOR H utgo, General SEBASTIANI, a great number of public fume tionaries, and Bou MAzA. When the company were all rested and silence had been established, a bansi of music played the Parisienne, after which M. I) Es- CHAMPS, professor of rhetoric at the college of Charlemagne, delivered an eulogium in Latin on M. DE FONTANES. The Grand Master then addr(!ss ed the pupils of the different colleges in a very able and impressive speech on the benefits of education, and ' which was calculated to excite emulation and zeal. M. DE SALVANDY in doing this, reminded the plapils of their duties as citizens, and enumerated the pfivi !eges which they en j oy under the protection of liberal institutions. Hi s l anguage was characterised by intense feelings, brilliant conceptions, and a spirit of impartiality which frequently elicited loud appla..use. The Grand Master remarked happily also on the presence of the Bishop of ALGIERS, and after the allusion made to him the pupils all rose and cheered the prelate three times. After the speech of M. DE SALVANDY, the distribution of the prizes can menced. The prize of honour for rhetoric - was gained by M. LIBERT, of the College of Henry IV. This pupil had also three other prizes, in addition to which the Minister instituted an extraordinary prize in honour of his success. The son of M. DE SAL VANDY did not, as last year, gain a first prize, but had an accessit. M. GUILLAUME GUIZOT, son of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, had a first prize, and two accessits. The son of M. VICTOR HUGO had several prizes, and was much applauded. The attention of the Parisian public is now en grossed by the trial of M. ESQUIVILLY, for perjury. He was the second of M. BEAUVALLON, the manager of the Epcque (M. G UIZOT'S paper), in the duel in which that gentleman killed M. DUJARRIER, of the Presse, and on the trial of BEAUVALLON (who was acquitted), swore that the pistols with which the duel was fought had never before been used. Proof has since, it is said, been obtained that BEAU VALLON had been practising with these pistols immediately before the duel ; in c onsequence Al. ESQUIVILLY h as b een indicted for perjury. BEAUVALLON, who had ab.

It is considered that this prosecution is important in a political point of view, as, in the course of the trial, acme revelations may be made touching the " secret service money," • and the bribery for licences to theatres, &c., alleged to have been paid to the Epoque, of which BEAUVALLON was the manager. 4 , 4 I t -FO - f '• 4 eV 1,- 0 n gi. 4o g,4, • .1 4v MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Lirerpol on . Saturday was steady. Sales 5,000 bales, including 4,000 bales Ame rican at 6id. to 74d., and 800 Surat at 40. to sd. per lb. Of this quantity there were taken on speculation 1,200 bales American, and 300 Surat. Prices in the Share Market had given way again, although there had been rather more disposition to buy. In mercantile circles there appears still to be the same difference of opinion as to the probability of an early revival of confidence, political and foreign finan cial affairs serving to complex the opinions which other wise might rule in favour of an improvement. The Money market will not be easy at least while commer cial failures are occurring, but we have not yet to add to the list of stoppages in Mark-lane, however difficult it may be to determine whether any event of the kind may be announced on 'Change this afternoon, as we understand that a firm at Antwerp has stepped for one and a half million of francs, involving a loss of 25,0001. to one house here, and other amounts to various firms, which may yet lead to more mischief. It is stated also that a mercantile house at Paris is in difficulties, and in Holland and Hamburgh stoppages are anticipated. The Hamburgh mail is not yet in. Although the weather is rather cooler to-day, corn is cheaper, the ample supplies of grain and flour checking business. There is considerable excitement in the market, and buyers do not care to deal with the sus pended houses, while an eminent discount firm, which has made advances, is having the consignments of corn entered to its own name. Should the weather prove genial in the country, it is said that there will be more corn carted to day than, perhaps, ever betore in the same period ; of c , air:e this is principally conjecture. The American letters shown to us intimate that specie was expected out, but it will partly depend now upon the rate of discount here. The Stock Market has had rather a heavy appearame again, and there have been sales of Reduced Three per Cent. Stock made, the present value of which is 87i Consols have been 87 to 4 for present transfer, and 87k for account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. hare been 89 to j. Bank Stock is heavy at 195. East India Bonds under 1,0001. are Is. discount. Exchequer bills have ranged from Is. discount to 2s. prem. There has been very little speculative business, and until the 26th inst., which is settling day, the principal operations will be between the parties who have to square accounts. The Foreign Securities have been heavy. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 27; and Spanish Three per Cents., 30 to 30*. Mexican Bonds are at 19. Brazil Stock has realised 83. Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents. have been quoted 561 to i. In Railway Seqes there is very little alteration, but the market is perhaps steadier than last week, even though prices exhibit no improvement. Birmingham and Oxford Junction are 211; Caledonian, 321 I; East ern Counties, 18:i to 19; Great Western. 108; Brighton, 491 i; North-Western, 167; South-Western, 60 to 61; Midland, 117 to 118 ; North Stafford, 9i ; and Northern of France, 11. _ _ The National has brought to light another scan dal. A contractor for one of the hospitals in Algiers has become a bankrupt. In his books of account appears the following entry :—" For the Minister of War in Paris, 15,000 f." The National asks the meaning of this entry. The Journal des Debats has the following, on the all-important question of the supply of food for the ensuing year : "In a recent article on food we expressed the hope that the decline in prices would in a short time make new and rapid progress. That has generally been the case. Still, in some markets, what remained of old in ferior stocks having been completely exhausted, prices have remained stationary, or have even risen a little. This reaction has sufficed to cause great disquietude in the minds of some people. There is, however, nothing which ought to surprise, and still less to alarm. Atter having been so high, it is impossible for prices to re sume, in a few weeks, and without oscillation, their normal rate. It would even be unreasonable to expect that they should completely arrive at it this year; for, as we have said, a year of scarcity almost aways weighs heavily on that which follows it. If, besides, the harvest be much advanced, if it even be already con cluded on the greater part of the territory, it must be remembered that the new corn has not yet appeared, or has only barely appeared, in some markets. Absorbed by the labour of the fields, the farmers have not yet been able to occupy themselves in threshing their grain and taking it to market ; and it is known that every year the supply of the markets is most incomplete at the very time of the harvest. And then account must be taken of the desperate efforts of speculation, which, holding in several points foreign grain purchased at high prices, endeavours by all possible means to raise prices in order to avoid the enormous losses with which it sees itself threatened. Was it not lately pre tended that in certain parts of France the ears of the new grain contain we know not what destructive insect, which would diminish one-third of the produce; and again, that the potato was attacked by the disease which last year deprived us of that precious aliment. In all this, happily, there is not a word of truth. The truth ,is, that the results of the harvest, not only in grain, potatoes, peas, beans, and other dry vegetables, but also in wines and fruits of all sorts, will exceed this year all that the most brilliant hopes coull have con ceived, and that we are proceeding in this respect to an unhoped-for amelioration. But we must know how to wait patiently for this a melioration, and we must not exaggerate the effects or it. Wheat still maintains a very high price in the Paris market, and we must ex pect that it will not decline either so quickly or in the same proportion as in the departments of great pro duction, where great part of the grain will be consumed in a confined district. Without occupying ourselves here with the mode of drawing up the market lists of prices, which evidently leave something to be desired, we will remark that the capital, absorbing daily enormous quan tities of grain, often derives it from very distant pour ts, and consequently does not receive it, especially in times of dearness, without having to pay somewhat consider able expenses for carriage. Many partial stocks, which remained laid up in the country, at present supply the local alimentation. Paris for a long time has lived in part on foreign supplies ; it has consumed a good deal of the American flour brought by Havre and Rouen. This flour was in general of inferior quality, and Paris, as is known, employs a good deal of the inferior sorts, which are more rare, whence again arises the relative dearness of bread in the capital. On this subject we will say a word with respect to the wish lately expressed by the bakers, and which several journals have deemed it right to support. It has been demanded that the flour kept in reserve in the granaries of the Government shall be de livered to consumption. In principle we accord very little value to the system of reset ves. This is not, how ever, the time, in our opinion, to deprive ourselves of such resources. The measure would, no doubt, present advantages to those who, having purchased this flour at a low rate, could now sell it very dear; but, besides causing a temporary decline, factitious in some sort on the market, it would drive away the corn trade, and would thus compromise the important question of the Parisian supply; and it must be remembered that if the foresight of the Government has required the formation of permanent reserves, even for the times at which the supplies of food are normal and regular, there would be temerity in dissipating these resources, when we have hardly yet quitted a crisis, the consequences of which still affect public credit so strongly. The municipal au thority, which in these circumstances has so efficaciously come to the assistance of the labouring classes, has there fore aeted very wisely in refusing to empty the granaries of the city of Paris."

CORN EXCHANGE.-MONDAY --- The arrivals of all articles of home growth up to our market last week, coastwise, as well as by land carriage and samples, were on a very limited scale, and the receipts from Ireland and Scotland were trifling. From abroad, however, the imports were large, viz., 66,197 quarters of Wheat, 4,471 quarters of Barley, 20,817 quarters of Oats, 3,027 quarters of Beans, 13,182 quarters of Indian Corn, 76,041 barrels, and 1.809 sacks of Flour. Fresh up to-day, the receipts of Wheat of home produce were very moderate—say about 900 quarters, 600 . of which were of the present }ear's g rowth, and of har average quality, although the weight was by no means heavy. The large failures which oc curred here last week had a very prejudicial effect upon the Wheat trade, notwithstanding the heavy rains, which fell in the early part of the morning. Still, how ever, in some instances, selected qualities of English Wheat sold at priers about equal to those obtained on this day se'nhight, but the middling and inferior kinds were with difficulty disposed of at a decline of is per quarter. At the close of the market, a fair clearance had been effected. There was a very large quantity of fore ign ign Wheat on o ff er, in, for the m m part, middling condition. ..

THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAMER.—AUG. 12.—The Birkenhead arrived in Dundrum Bay at daylight on Tuesday, the 10th, at which time it blew strong from S.W., with a heavy sea, right on the land ; notwith standing this Mr. Bellamy, with the 31 riggers from Portsmouth, and 26 riggers from Plymouth dock -3 ards (who are entirely under his directions) left the Birken head in one of her paddle-box boats, and proceeded on board the Great Britain, where they have taken up their quarters, and are using every exertion to prepare her for having off on Friday or Saturday next, wind and weather permitting. Ever since Monday, except for a few hours, it has blown hard from S.W. to S.S.IV., con sequently the weather has been extremely unfavourable for this great undertaking. Should the weather, how ever, moderate in time, every hope is entertained of this noble ship being once more afloat before the close of this week ; at all events on the next springs. The Birken head left the bay almost immediately after the riggers left her for Belfast Loch, leaving the paddle box boat behind, there being too much wind and sea for her to return, and up to this time she has not been able to get back.
