This , jnoreover, was not merely speculative feeling. On the contrary, there was every prospect of a good demand before them. The foreigner was short of and wanted our goods in return for the grain which he had sent us. Orders had already poured in upon the manufacturer, which the improvement in the position of the Bank held out the prospect of his being able to execute. Yet what is our present condition ? We have almost the certainty of an abundant harvest, both at home and throughout the world, Out fears for the potato crop are almoqt ing half time onl dissipated. Food of all kinds has been placed within the reach of our population. Foreign mar kets still invite the manufacturer to renewed opera tions. Yet, our contemporary says, "We have now again to write of panic." And he says so truly, if, for "panic," we substitute the words " currency famine." Manufacturing industry is again sus pended ; commerce is once more paralyzed ; the price of our public and other securities is ruinously reduced, as well as those of property and exportable products of every description ; and shortly we shall ks upon as having he foreigner recently taken pl , 0 has our gold- in to purchase our depreciated id, our man has the conduct of the any thin things ? ecurities, ce, in comes and, we amunity had do with the production of this state of ,ed at and to prevent its occurrence ed says scarcely a dozen ;memos or an and t' sitated bv tic have been aban- " no relaxation of the caution ne ae trade could be warranted."

Our embarrassments flow solely from the absurd attempt to regulate our standard of value by that of an article which is of fluctuating value ; to regulate prices by the supply of an exportable material, which is liable to be drawn from us whenever our imports exceed our exports, and to carry on a continually expanding commerce by - . . means of a circulating medium whose basis is short in supply to meet the wants of this country and the world. THE drama, which has for months been perform ing, and of which the chief scenes have been laid in trophe The glorious autumnal sky, under _ i we have for the last few weeks been rejoicing, e actors and prompters, scene- shifters and property men—the last of whom have left behind them, as relics, the machinery, which they have heretofore found so useful, and which only failed them at the last hour. Amongst the best known of these is the asserted potatoe rot, which is so far worn that it is not thought it can be of any use in another season, and has been bought for an old song by one or two of our contemporaries. In more intelligible and business-like language, the famine-panic has broken down, despite all the ap pliances used to keep it up ; and its promoters and dupes are about to receive their reward, which, we trust, will he meted out to them in somewhat lea than the sharp practice of the former an( e other woiA. fully v In ofd times our ancestors witnessed th sea bubble and its bursting. A year ago we wit nessed, ourselves, the railway mania and its cala mitous issue. Wise people—prudent men—talked, with disapproving shakes of the head, of the evil of withdrawing capital from the legitimate channels of trade, and of the folly of urging forward the con struction of railways, although everywhere around there were evidences of the vast boon to mankind conferred by the railways already in existence, and the further boon to be conferred by the formation of additional railways, to promote the cheapening of the cost of transit, the developement of the resources of the soil and, most important of all, the increase of civilization amongst, the people. Yet, no sooner did we see the end of the railway mania than we had, got up by the same wise people who denounced it so vigourously, a famine mania. The potato crop of last year was a failure : ergo they said it was to be a failure again. Our supply of bread stuffs was short ; and straightway they acted as if the bounty of Providence would never enable us to repair our deficiency—never enable us to overtake and to conquer the evil. To the last too many have clung to this delusion. They have hoarded and hoarded ; they have exacted famine prices, they have revelled in the prospect of imagin ary gains to the last. Men of all sorts and con ditions—capitalists and beggars—men of money and men of straw—merchants, brokers, shop keepers and even clerks, with pittances barely suffi cient to keep whole coats upon their shoulders, have abandoned their ordinary and legitimate avo casions, and rushed to the lucky marts at Mark Lane and elsewhere, to possess themselves of bush els or barrels of the fortune-creating commodity; and, having succeeded in this object of their am bition, they have closed their eyes to the acts and accidents of the world around them, and fancied themselves moderately or immoderately rich, accord ing to the amount of their respective ventures. The world has gone round upon its axis all this time, The §emon§ have followed in their coupe lertu u THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. bringing with them the cheering prospect of abun dance. The granaries of the world have been emptying themselves into the ports of wealthy England. Every available vessel has been put in requisition to transport food to our shores. But the corn speculators still slept on, still doled out their scanty supply to a hungry and distressed people, at an immoderate and immodest price— slept so to the very last, dreaming of storm and blight, magnifying every genial shower into a flood, every speck upon an ear of wheat or a potato stalk, into an evidence of widely-spread and irretrievable destruction. At length, at the last hour, these gentlemen are being awakened ; and if their re verse be more signal than it might have been, they have but their own acts to blame for the cir- cumstance Greater folly we never witnessed or heard of than has been displayed in the course of the last few months by the parties who are now about to be called upon to suffer. Every disinterested man, whose fingers were not infected by the touch of the prevailing idol; every man in the full posses sion of his intellect, saw clearly that the pressure upon our food market was only temporary—that the vacuum produced by an unfavourable season, putting aside the interference of Providence to furnish us with abundance from our own soil, would soon be filled up to overflowing by the influx of food from other countries. The American people, everybody knew, would snatch the husks from their swine to feed upon, in order to wring from us dollars in return for their wheat and flour. The serfs of Russia and Poland, Norway and Sweden, would vegetate upon tallow and kelp, in order to get British gold for their wheat and rye. Germany would sustain itself upon cabbages and other greenstuffs, in order to share the golden harvest. The men of Mark-lane, and such as they, alone were blind to these facts. They alone, morever, were unable, or refused, to see that the stocks of a world could not for ever be held over, and the appetites of a hungry people satisfied only at famine prices—that bills renewed once or twice could not be renewed for ever, and that, postpone it as they might for a season, the crash must come at last. - It IS at hand It has commenced; and whilst we repeat our hope that the destruction of individual credit and property will not be propor tionate to the extent of individual misconduct, we cannot but fear that it will be great and calamitous. Whatever may be its extent, however, let it serve as a warning against the evils of commercial gam bling, and the wickedness of inordinate avarice. Another lesson, too, it may teach those who, so triumphantly in their own estimation, ask us how we should have sustained our people under the operation of the sliding scale : viz., the fact that speculation under that system is infinitely less potent in raising the price of a people's food, be yond a people's means to purchase, than under a system of free trade. The speculator for a rise under the latter has no fears, save of a decline in prices. He holds to-day in the hope of an additional shilling per quarter to-morrow; and if prices recede a shilling, that shilling is the extent of his loss. Under the sliding scale, he held subject to his neighbour adopting the opportunity of selling which he himself rejected. He must, in declining markets, at once accommodate himself to the cir cumstances which warranted that decline ; for, if he refused, he was liable not only to a loss com mensurate with the decline in price but, as well, to the imposition of an additional duty. Moreover, in the emergency of very high prices—of prices only as high as the present—we should under that system have had free trade to its fullest extent. So far as we have experienced the workings of our present law, we are convinced that it holds out to the capitalist facilities for operating injuriously upon the interests and comforts of the masses, by raising and depressing at will the price of their food, infinitely greater than the law which it sus pended. Steadiness of price it obviously cannot accomplish. THE POLICE COURT. — Yesterday there were no less than 148 cases on the police books for hearing, consisting, for the most part, of drunk and disorderly cases. We learn that this number exceeds the average by near 50. IRISH BEGGlNG.—Yesterday a considerable number of Irish mendicants were brought before the magistrates at the police-court, charged with begging on Sunday. Several were discharged on promising to return to Ireland, whilst _ _ _ . . tive country others refusing to be sent back to were sent to gaol for seven days. The answers from some of them on being asked to return home, were somewhat amusing. The reply of one was, " rayther not if I could help it." He was committed for persisting in his refusal. Another, who seemed averse to returning home, was pointedly asked the question, " Will you go home or to prison ? " when he answered with much characteristic simplicity, but evidently under the sudden influence of the feeling of prison restraint, " Faith, I'll go home if you like."

East of Nrnrk with KnArpchnrnuoth and THE ANNUAL LICENSING SESSIONS There are few duties in which the magistracy of a great town can be more usefully employed than in the proper regulation of its public-houses and taverns. It is a fact notorious to every judge who sits upon the bench, that more criminal associations are formed, more crimes hatched, more robberies and outrages planned, in the low and dis orderly public-houses 'with which all populous towns abound, than in any other places. Hence we regard the duties, which are annually to be performed by the licensing magistrate, as more than ordinarily important, and do not conceive that we are stepping out of our sphere in convey ing to them what we know to be the sense of a large and influential portion of our fellow-townsmen, with regard to the mode of their performance. During the past two years the town has sustained a large increase of building, and, in consequence of the operation of the sanitory act, a considerable portion of the new erections is composed of cottage property—small streets of houses, two and three storied, with rentals vary ing from £l5 to £24 per annum. In nearly every such street we observe preparations made for a future public house, (if a license can be got,) and in the meantime for a beer-house. Hence the unusually large number of appli cations for licenses with which the magistrates will have to deal at the approaching sessions, many of which are, no doubt, put forward by parties of unexceptionable cha racter, and backed by signatures of persons the only ex- , . ception against whom is that they are probably tenants of the landlord,. for the advantage of whose property a license is sought. With respect to the mode of dealing with the major part, if not the whole, of such applications, we would urge upon the bench the same considerations which we urged last year. There are, unless we are sadly mis informed, existing in the back streets throughout the town, in places which were once populous thorough ^ but longer, not a d tuo-o' fares, are so no A, rew licenseu houses, too many of which serve only as the resorts of vice which shuns the light, as the nurseries of crime, or the lurking places of the criminal—houses in which the Exciseman is never called upon to guage a cask of wine or spirits, because the only receptacle in use by the poor tenant is a bottle filled as required from the nearest gin palace. Let the owners of such property be allowed to draft their licenses to the localities to which the popula tion they once depended upon has removed, and there can exist no necessity for granting a single new licence for years to come. It must be borne in mind that the new streets, for houses in which licences are being applied for, are not indicative of an increase of population to the ex tent of the tenants which they are capable of accommo dating. The bulk of them have been provided for the accommodation of parties removed under the operation of the sanatory act, or at their own option from unwhole some streets in the centre of the town, in search of a better and a purer atmosphere. Let such parties take . . _ their public-houses, or what amounts to the same, their licences with them. Abundance, and indeed far more than is required, will still be left within the limits of the old borough. As we remarked last year, however, there may be here and there, and particularly in the growing outskirts of the town, a few isolated cases, in which the establishment of a respectable tavern is calculated to be a convenience rather than a nuisance to the locality. We pointed to two such cases on a former occasion, in one of which (in Nether field-road, Everton) the applicant was successful in pro curing a license, and we believe has conducted his busi ness with credit and satisfaction to the magistrates and to his neighbours. Another case which we referred to last year was an ap plication for a license to a house, built by its owner for the purpose on the Bootle-road, in the centre of an im proving and highly respectable neighbourhood, and seven or eight hundred yards from any other public-house. This application was not granted last year ; but we observe that the owner of the property is applying again this year, with, we learn, the support of a number of the most in fluential residents. For the last twelve months it has been conducted most satisfactorily under a beer license ; and it is furnished and in every way fitted to afford the accommodation required. from a first rate tavern. The extension of the town and the docks in this direction—the number of cars and omnibuses passing along the road, with the prospect of a large increase in the population surrounding, we submit call for such a license being granted. There are no doubt other similar cases, here and there, which will present similar claims ; and in all these we have no doubt that the magistrates will exercise a wise discretion, keeping in view the fact that we want only such houses as are likely to be respectably conducted ; and that to enable the tavern keeper to so conduct his establish ment, it is necessary that his business should not be so divided by competition as to drive him to resort to un worthy and disorderly practices—to encourage tippling rather than supply in moderation the wants of the public. THEATRE-ROYAL.-MADAME RACHEL THE FRENCH COMPANY. Yesterday evening, the first appearance of this distin guished lady, accompanied by a very talented corps of male and female performers, took place in our Theatre- Royal, a most fashionable audience being assembled to receive them. The lower boxes, in especial, we have seldom seen better filled. The first , piece was Scribe's comedy ;of " Valerie ou L'Aveugle,' in which Mdlle. Rabut sustained the part of Valerie, the blind girl, with great efficiency. The closing scene, in which Valerie is restored to her sight, was full of nature and feeling. The part of Caroline was sustained with great naivette by Mdlle. Vallee •, and-but we need not particularise further. The whole was gone through most artistically, and eli cited unqualified admiration. Of " Les Horaces," the tragedy, we scarcely 1 how to speak. It was perfect in every part, and a to those who heard it acting suci Mom wit- during plot is the well-known one to the Latin scholar of the Horatii and Curatii ; and the part of Camilla was allot ted to Rachel. In the first four acts we should as impartial juds given the palm to Sabina (Mademoiselle Rabut,) whose acting was superb, as it was in the previous piece. But in the last act,. Mademoiselle Rachel, as Camilla, asserted her preeminence in a manner which left no room for any competitor. More splendid acting we never witnessed than the closing scene, which drew down, as it deserved, a perfect torrent of applause. Amongst the othei Parties engaged in the piece we find it difficult in the very brief space at our disposal, to par ticularize. We may, however, mention Mr. Raphael Felix. The acting, of this gentleman throughout was of a very high order. Indeed the whole corps are most efficient. The Observer,—a good authority—now says that Parlia ment will not be called together before the usual time. The Earl and Countess of Sefton have arrived at the noble lord's seat, Meggernie Castle, Perthshire. from Croxteth Hall. Mr. George Grist has been appointed secretary to the Liverpool Licensed Victuallers' Benevolent Association in the room of Mr. Rowlandson, resigned. Mrs. Grist has received the appointment of matron to the: institution. We believe the appointments will give great satisfaction. Yesterday, at the Police-court, two-half-starved looking urchins appeared at the Police-court, charged with stealing a quantity of potatoes from a shop in Dale-street. In reply to the charge, all they had to stale was, that " they , had had nothing to eat for two days." They were com mitted for seven days. AMERICAN PROVISIONS. During the eleven last months (from Sept. Ist "o the end of July last), there were exported to Great Britain, from the various Ameri can ports, 2,706,202 barrels of flour , 779,711 barrels of corn meal 3,084,910 bushels of wheat, 16,251,988 bushels of corn, 451,214 bushels of oats, and 271,353 bushels of barley. MAN KILLED ON THE RAILWAY.—A man, named Henry Johnson, a labourer, at the railway, in Crown street, was accidentally killed on Saturdal last. It appears that he was two waggons past_ some point in the act of moving on the main line of rails, and whilst doir zgon deceased was pushing at, knocking it ceased When taken up he SALE OF LAND AT BIRKENHEAD.—Last night Mess! Churton offered for sale, at the Monks' Ferry Hotel, Birkenhead, a quantity of villa land, called the " Dibbins dale Vale Estate," situate on the margin of Bromborough Pool, near Birkenhead. The quantity advertised was 75,000 square yards, in 19 lots. The attendance at the sale was numerous. but the state of the money market found insen; had an effect upon the bidding. Four lots Only were offered, one of which was knocked down at 2s. 6d. per yard, and a second at 3s. per yard. The two other lots offered were bought in. The total number of square yards sold is 5,000. FATAL ACCIDENT AT KIRKDALE.--OD Saturday last, a carter named John Woods, on his way from Liverpool, met with his death in Kirkdale, under the following circumstances. The deceased was driving an empty cart, and behind him was a cart filled with manure. The horse in the latter cart began to trot, when the driver immedi-. ately stopped it, but the deceased, who was about five yards in advance, made a stand, allowing his own horse and cart to proceed until the other horse came up to him. He then took hold of its head, and whilst endeavouring to stop it, he was seen to fall down against the horse, when both horse and cart ran over him. On being taken up his head was found to be dreadfully crushed, and he was quite dead. Verdict,_ " Accidental death." THE LATE DEAN OF MANCHESTER.—The Hon. and Very Rev. William Herbert, L.L.D., Rector of Spofforth, son of the late Earl of Carnarvon, revised and re-dated his will on the 25th of January last, which had been ex ecuted by him in the year 1845. He has bequeathed to his wife, the Honourable Letetia Herbert, a life-in terest in all his property in England and elsewhere [ex cept Canada], also certain specific and pecuniary be quests, including the carnage and horses, the plate, &c., and that she may select from his books, pictures, and furniture, to the amount of £7OO ; and after her decease, he leaves the property purchased by him in Therfield to his son Frederick ; his only freeholds he leaves to his (laughter Louisa, with a pecuniary bequest. The residue of his personal estate, and of the unsettled real estate, to be divided between his said son and daugh ters, Cecilia and Louisa. The estates in Canada, subject to the payment ofan annuity to his trustees, he has devoted to his son Frederic and his heirs. His estates under marriage settlement in the counties of Bedford and Hertford, over which he had power of appointment, he has apportioned to his said son and daughters, his son Henry having received his portion in the lifetime of his father. He leaves to the Rev. C. Richson, one of his executors, £lOO. The Hon. Letitia Herbert, the relict, and his brother; the Hon. Algernon Herbert, are the other executors. The personalty in Eng land and within the province of Canterbury was valued at £4OOO. He held the rectory of Spofforth, Y or kshire, for thirty-three years, the value of which is returned as £1,538, per annum •, he was made Dean of Manchester in 18" and died in the sixty-ninth year of hio age. tefract, and I truing Ripon -G.

It will be in the recollection of our readers that it is only a few months ago since the sum proposed to be abated was added. The reason assigned for taking such an important step is, that the funds of this rising city are deficient, and that they intend making up such deficiency by lessening the expenditure of these ferries. It can hardly be expected for one moment that the Ferry nounce- ment, for if the deficit should be so trifling that the re duction of a few shillings from the small pittance of some ten or a dozen officers will make it up, we must condemn it at once as a most imprudent and unwise step; and if, on the contrary, the deficit should amount to a large sum, we would ask how that object can be gained, upon the same principle ? We know for a fact that this is the con struction which has been put upon it by some of the largest and most respectable ratepayers in Birkenhead. However, as the matter will have to be brought before the board for their sanction, before it can be carried into execution, we hope, for the credit of that intelligent and highly respectable body, and the township generally, that their face they wil transact gainst such a paltry endent spirit 13.) a, and will show their hide We would ask how- ible that they can expect to get the services of t, who have wives and families depending when provisions and everythinff nts so high, for so small a pittance a apport ddition give a bona fide security to a agrity.

We had some rains in the early part of last week, but nothing to do any injury to the grain, while they greatly advanced green crops. These, with sunshine intervening, were suc ceeded by the finest possible harvest weather,—the glass on Thursday ranging at " Set Fair," and so continuing, with a warm sun and a healthful drying breeze, up to the time we write. The dews made up any want of moist ure during the day, as affecting green crops. Sun day was, perhaps, the finest of the fine days of a fine summer, and we may say that, upon the whole, a more prolific season was never realized (so far) and in prospect. The only exceptions are in the late potatoes, and the beans. In the former the disease has made its appearance, rather formidably in some fields, (and it sel dom shews itself until towards the period of ripening) but the breadth under culture is so great, that by careful s - ,; - ..thering the general crop may yet amount to a fair quantity. The price rose a little in our markets on Saturday, (being ls. 3d. per score), and until the whole crop is gathered in, and the result known, we can scarcely anticipate a fall, the popular demand for this root being greater than for any other vegetable of general consump tion. Much of the wheat is already in stock, and is heavy and fine. The same may be said of the oats, and with some few exceptions of the barley. Turnips and mangels have swelled out amazingly both in verdure and bulk, and a heavy yield may be safely anti cipated. We have seen, in the Wallasey district, some splendid fields of wheat and oats, on the exten sive farm of our townsman, Mr. Harold Littledale. Much is already cut, and the reapers here, as elsewhere in the neighbourhood, will be vigorously employed this week, should the weather hold, of which there is every prospect. All sorts of vegetables, excepting potatoes, are cheap, being abundant and fine. Nearly all the oats have been cut, and the wheat yet standing is fully ripe. A black insect has destroyed a great part of the beans, both in gardens and fields ; but the breadth sown in this neigh bourhood is limited, so that the loss will be little felt. The mangels in a large field of Mr. Littledale's, near the south end of Wallasey village, are already of great size, and the final product will, no doubt, be unusually large. Barley, which in June was thin and unpromising, has considerably improved. The after grasses are ferward, and Wok beautiful, and time THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND At six o'clock on Wednesday evening her Majesty, Prince Albert, and a portion of the royal family, accompanied by the Prince of Leiningen and suite, embarked in the royal yacht from Osborne-pier under salutes from the royal yacht squadron, battery, West Cowes Castle, on the trip to Scotland. The royal squadron consisted of the two royal yachts, the Undine, Black Eagle, Scourge, and Garland. The latter, hitherto supposed to be the fastest steamer under the pennant, was beaten during Tuesday by the Fire Queen, newly purchased iron steamer of the Undine class. The squadron made all speed, passing through Cowes Roads. The night was passed in Yarmouth Roads. Soon after daybreak on Thursday morning the squadron got under weigh, the Scourge taking the lead through the Needles passage ; the Fairy, Undine, Black Eagl Garland following the ViciOria and Albert. Be - fore the squadron, however, had proceeded five or six miles, a fog came on ; and it was deemed prudent to run into Allum Bay, near Freshwater, just under the Needles rocks, to the eastward. In the course of an hour or so the weather somewhat cleared up, and the royal yacht was again got under weigh. By nine o'clock it had well cleared the rocks, and was steaming away at full speed to the west ward. There was a smart breeze blowing up Channel from the southwest, but comparatively little sea. Swanarr- - ten o'cl' ; Weymouth 4 e was passed soon after . ~Loc. The people on shore were di) ing colours at every prominent place about noon did not keep very cline to the land, and the air con* to be thick, the loyal had very slight glimn' t in hoist- but, as the quadton ontinued ses of the steamer At half-past three o'clock on Thursday afternoon the royal squadron ran into Dartmouth Bay, and anchored there for the night, having accomplished little less than a undre he voyage. The Queen was on deck - until some time after the yacht anchored, closely attended by the Prince of Wales " in the costume of an A. 8." Her Majesty looked remark ably well, and answered the cheers of her subjects, who crowded in boats round the vessel, by gracious smiles and bows. - - Long before daylight on Friday morning, the bustle of departure was heard among the royal squadron, lighting fires and getting the steam up. At four o'clock the sig nal was made to " weigh." In a few minutes the whole squadron majestically left Dartmouth, under a royal salute from the castle battery, and proceeded down the Channel for the Scilly Islands, where her Majesty re mained for the night. The morning was beautifully fine, and the sea calm. On Sunday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, the royal squadron arrived off Carnarvon Castle, where the pace was slackened to take a view of the bay and surround ing scenery, but no one landed. We learn, however, that during the short stay of the royal party, her Majesty re- . ceived a congratulatory address from the inhabitants; pre sented by the Mayor of Carnarvon. From Carnarvon her Majesty proceeded towards the Menai Bridge and Beaumaris, having previously disem barked from the Victoria and Albert yacht, and, along with the Prince Consert, Earl Grey, and several other members of the royal party, gone on board the Fairy ; the command of which for the time was assumed by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence. The Victoria and Albert yacht, and the other vessels forming the squadron took a different route, and anchored off Puffin Island, there to wait the arrival of her Majesty—from Beaumaris. About three o'clock the Fairy reached the Straits, followed by the Garland, government steamer. A royal salute announced her Majesty's arrival at the bridge. Just below the bridge the Prince landed on the Carnarvon side, from a hand some open gig, painted bright purple, and belonging to the Fairy. He was attended by several noblemen and gentle men connected with the party, and some of the officers belonging to the squadron. After visiting the bridge, the Prince again went on board the Fairy, and in about half an hour again disembarked on a visit to Penhryn Castle, the seat of Colonel Douglas Pennant, where his Royal Highness remained nearly an hour. _ _ _ During this time her - Majesty was observed on deck taking a sketch of Penhryn Castle, and the adjacent scenery, whilst the royal children were to be seen running about on deck. An immense number of yachts and steamers from Liver pool, and other places, had assembled to witness the interesting scene ; and the weather being exceedingly fine, the sight was most animating and the feeling enthusiastic. The yachts belonging to the Royal Mersey Yacht Club were assembled in considerable numbers, and contributed very much to the beauty of the scene. An interesting circumstance connected with the' day's proceeding occur red, which is invested with still additional importance from the fact of her Majesty being almost immediately connected with it. Amongst other vessels, the fine steamer Prince ofW ales left Liverpool on Saturday, with alarge party on board. to meet her Majesty ; and, during the shortstayof the royalparty in theneighbourhood, Captain Warren, com mander of the Prince of Wales, took the passengers onboard the Prince, in an open boat, round the royal yacht Fairy, in order to bring them into more immediate proximity with the Queen. Whilst so engaged with about the fourth boat load, which numbered several ladies, and being close to the Fairy, Captain Warren, who could not at the time distinguish the young Prince of Wales, jocularly observed, " Its very hard that I am commander of the Prince of Wales, and yet cannot see the Prince of Wales." Her Majesty, who was at the time sketching, unobserved by any of the party in the boat, overheard Captain Warren's observation, and immediately ran after the Prince, who was playing on deck, caught him in her arms, and holding him up to their view over the side of the Fairy, said to his Royal Highness, " Now, Sir, take off your hat to the ladies and the Captain of the Prince of Wales." We need scarcely say that this gracious act on the part of her Majesty was duly acknowledged. - . • On the Prince's return to t went into Beaumaris Bay, where they rernm Le - Fairy, the royal party Id early in t Majesty returned to the Vic- at Puffin's Island, whe toria and Albert yacht, the party remaining there for the tit four o'clock yesterday (Monday) morning, the left the island for the Isle of Man, wl royal par remain a short from our reporter was expected her Majesty would land, anc time, at Douglas.

MANCHESTER, AUGUST 14 There is but little new to report in our trade operations since Tuesday. Prices continue much the same, but the general appearance, if possible, more dull and heavy. The weather, on the whole has been very favourable, and har vesting operations are progressing rapidly. During the whole of yesterday and to-day the glass rose with extra ordinary quickness, until it is now at "set fair." The accounts brought by the Britannia are by no means favourable, and the subjoined extract from the New York Courier and Enquirer is looked upon as mate rially affecting the future state of our markets. It has been a topic of general conversation on 'Change to-day. " In relation to the appearance of the next crop, we cannot continue to give as favourable an account as in our last report. At that date, we alluded to the favourable appearance of Lower Mississippi, Louisiana, South Ala bama, Florida, and Texas ; and that the only danger to be apprehended was, that the heavy rains which had set in there would flood the country, and render the ground inc a pable of being worked; and that the naturaltendency would be an excessive growth of the weed, causing the plant to run to stalk, as in 1840 ; and also creating an exuberance of grass, which it would be impossible to remove, and which would be fatal to the second planting, on which so much at this season depends. Since that date the rains have continued over the greater part of, the above states, and also over Georgia and South Carolina, but with little intermission. Florida and Texas being alone excepted and, we think,, the prospect now mor for a good yield than during the last ;spondents write that, many pl tely submerged ; wl Several are already rotting off the rains be squares and bolls , rofusely. Should le on others t and dropping ucceeded suddenly - b .. y a spell of hot dry weather, it will, beyond question, be fatal to the crop ; nothing but, the most favourable weather during the re maider of the season, a late frost, and an entire freedom frnm t.h, enfernillar_ elm give an average eron. and it is 1 • V not likely-that we shall be exempt from that epidemic, for they, have appeared already in Clarke, Perry, and Sunter counties, in Alabama, although as yet they have committed no serious ravages.

The tonnage of the vessel was 614. This instance of despatch was conducted under the superintendence of H. Williams, wharfinger. CHARGE OF HOUSEBREAKING.—Yesterday, at the Police Court, five persons, named respectively John Moore, Michael Williams, Peter Duff, Mary Cull, and Sarah Maharrow, were charged with having stolen from a house in Mill Street, a silk dress, a gold brooch, and two shawls, on Saturday afternoon last. It appeared that on Saturday afternoon, the prosecutor, a young woman, went to the market, and was not away more than a quarter of an hour, but on her return she found that the articles had been stolen. Evidence was adduced to prove that the five prisoners had been drinking at a public house adjoin ing the house where the robbery was committed, during the early part of the afternoon ' and that they had been skulking about the last named house. It was further proved by a boy who came forward as a witness, that the three male prisoners were seen coming over the wall at the back of the house, and handing the articles to the two female prisoners, who were waiting outside. The articles had been pawned, but the pawnbroker not being able to attend, from indisposition, the priaonera were remanded to thig day. Aug. 17, 1547. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY. 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, 1 4 qrs. of Wheat, 4,471 qrs. of Ba r ley, 20,817 qrs . o f O a ts, qrs. of Wang, 13,182 qrs. of Indian Corn, 76,041 barrels and 1809 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 year's growth, and of fair average quality, although the weight was by no means heavy. The large failures which 0C 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, however, in some instances, selected qualities of Ent l , - lish Wheat sold at prices about equal to those obtained on this day se'nnigbt, but the middle and inferior qualities were with difficulty disposed of at a &cline of Is. per quarter. At the close of the marizet a fair clearance had been effected. There was a very large quantity of foreign Wheat on offer, in, for the most part, middling condition. Owing, in some measure, to the great pressure of American lour upon the market, and the probability of a further decline the quotations of Wheat, all kinds of Foreign were heavy, and rhen sales were pressed, the quotations ruled Is. to, in some Istances, 2s. per quarter lower. The Sound list shows a large number of vessels, laden with grain, bound to England. Notwithstanding the quantity of Barley brought forward was by no means large, compared with that exhibited for some weeks past, the Barley trade was heap"}, at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, last week's cur rencies. The quantity of Malt on offer was trifling in the extreme; nevertheless, the transactions in it were in retail, at barely sta tionary prices. Scarcely any English Oats were brought for ward, but the supply of Foreign was good. The Oat trade was in a very dull state, but we can notice no further decline in value. There was a slow sale for Beans, but last week's quotations were mostly supported. We had a very dull sale for Peas, the supply of which wa 4 chiefly composed of the last year's growth, and prices had a. downward tendency.—lndian Cor n was i n goo d supp l y and heavy demand, on somewhat easier terms. The Flour trade was excessively icieaVyTbut we can notice no actual depression in valne, although some of the importers offered on lower terms. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY.

'id' per Slb. Nearly, or quite, the who'e of the prime Beasts were disposed of; but at least 300 o f th e inferior Beasts were turned out unsold. With Sheep we are again tolerably well supplied ; yet the Mutton trade was steady, though we cannot call it brisk, at prices about equal to those paid last week, the prime Downs realizing ss. 4d. per 81b.
