The fresh arrivals since Friday comprise a good accession of - Wheat and Indian Corn—the former principally from Egypt, and the latter from America; the arrivals for the week being 14,767 quarters of Wheat, and 20,933 quarters of Indian -Corn. Of Flour we have received 11,078 barrels from the United States, and 8,7.12 sacks chiefly from Spain. The only exports of consequence are 5,658 quarters of Indian Corn to Ireland. The latest advices from New York report a decline of 60 cents per barrel on Flour, and 10 cents per bushel on Wheat. The ifitelligenee regarding negotiations for peace has pro duced a very depressing effect on the trade there, and rendered . ldova anxious- to l kress sales ; while shippers refrained from operatiVg t and the exports show a great falling off in quantity. -'Tie markets held at the close of the past week throughout fuid'lrehind 'continue to show considerable firm ugsr-fsor-Witeat and. Flour. • The deliveries: from the growers barely keep pace with the wants of consumers, and the advance acquired in the early part of the week, as noted above, has been pretty generally responded to. The trade here, during the-same period, has not assumed a like firm, aspect, the late numerous arrivals of Wheat and Flout: leading buyers to operate with much caution, and we have experienced a very dragging sale for both articles, with prides'. 'nominally unvaried. Indian Corn continues much depressed,.and 325, 6d. was reported to have been accepted yesterday for mixed American ; subsequently, more firmness was evinced, and nothing was obtainable under 335. At the market to-day there was a somewhat better tone evinced, and Wheat of good quality may be quoted about 2d. per 701155. higher than on Friday last. Flour was also the turn higher. Indian Corn, though dearer than yesterday, is not equal to Friday's rates. Oatmeal is about the same. In other articles transaction are hit limited, And no change in lutetium. . _ I.IVP,RVOOL Printed knd publibhed by K. P. IttAcuttie ;,. it, r " ctrr ct Nn ,4.

The two extremities were first blown up, and the effect of the rising smoke was very peculiar. A series of explosions fol lowed, and the work of destruction was completed. The fort had disappeared, and in its place was a low flat bank of grey ruin. The Russians fired less after the explosion than they did before. The quantity of powder used in the French mine is said to have exceeded the quantity destroyed in the explo sion of the French left siege train. MURDER IN THE CAMP. A private of the 77th Regiment, named Day, murdered a sick artilleryman with a crowbar. the object. aged 19, had Robbery was THE NEW LOAN. The Times expresses its surprise at the very small amount of the loan, but a loan of only five millions will certainly entail the necessity of a loan of ten millions, or more, before the close of the session. The calculation - probably is that by the tune all the instalments of this loan are paid in peace will be proclaimed. Our army will be on the way back, our fleets paid off, and consols be near par. In that case the sixteen millions will certainly be obtained on easier terms than just now. The smallness of the stun at present wished for, and the rapidity with which the instalments are to be paid, prove the imminence and amount of the next appeal that will 1* made to the money world. The Times has a leader on the urgent necessity of improved postal communications with Australia. THIRD EDITION.
