It will be seen that the Archbishop of Canterbury has given his sanction to the plan of endowing a bishopric by means of voluntary subscriptions at the infant settlement of Wellington, in New Zealand. We regard this as a very im portant event in colonial affairs. The cautious primate has not thus committed himself to novel principles without ample inquiry and reflection. He deliberately acknowledges that new colonies are not despicable, but worthy of respect ful consideration ; and that in seeking to bestow on them, from the very beginning of their career, the utmost com pleteness, so far as the province of the church is concerned, it is better to succeed independently of the state than to fail altogether. The Church of England, represented by her spiritual head, relies on herself as respects new colonies ; and while she thus avoids giving offence to members of other communions, she flatters the pride of these young societies, and gains their affection, by treating them as equal in her regards to the old country itself. What a lesson for the po litical rulers of colonies ! And let it be observed further, that the Church of England, by planting herself, as the Bi shop of London says, " in all her integrity," in a new colony —by providir •orn the outset all that pert y transfers to the colony, so far as, relates to the church, the powers of local self-government. The Church of Eng -I.nd in New Zealand will manage its own affairs on the spot, free from the mischievoui necessity of having to refer con tinually to an authority 16,000 miles distant, and therefore unavoidably ignorant and indifferent with respect to the co- lony. The efficiency and popularity of chuich-government are thus both secured at once. When will the principles on which this wise religious scheme is founded, be adopted by those who hold in their hands the political destiny of colo nies? Sooner, perhaps, than it would be reasonable to ex pect, if churchmen had not set this striking example to poli ticians. The government of the Church of England will be as complete in New Zealand as it is at home. The political government which has been provided for the colonists is so imperfect, so utterly devoid of every attribute of complete ness, so near a makeshift of haste and carelessness, that com parisons between it and the plan of church-government must needs be made continually, with a tendency to expose the errors of the Colonial Office, and to bring about legislation by parliament on the principles of efficiency and popularity that distinguish the religious scheme. The notice of one point only will suffice to illustrate this position. If the committee of the Church Society for New Zealand should not succeed in their endeavour to found a bishopric at Wellington, the Church of England, without settlement, would be subject to the authority of the bishop of the distant colony of New South Wales : as respects the affairs of the church, the new colony would be a dependency of a penal settlement 1200 miles distant : the government of the church would be to the last degree both inefficient and unpopular. But if the members of the Church of England at home are sincere in their professions of attachment to her, the means of establishing Protestant Episcopacy at Welling ton will be speedily provided ; and therefore it is only for the purpose of showing how inefficient and unpopular the politi cal institutions of the new colony mast be, that we allude to the chance of failure in the project of a bishopric on the spot. Politically, the new settlement is made wholly dependent on New South Wales. And here the case is even worse than that which would result from dependency in church matters; because not only is New Zealand a formidable rival of New South Wales, and especially her competitor at home for the emigration of capital arid labour, but the laws of New South e Wales and the mode of administering them, adapted to a community of convict being expressly ly unfit slaves, are who for the new 'society of Englishmen', who regard free institu tions as their birthright. The political independence of New South Wales, therefore, is even more desirable for the colo nists of New Zealand than independence as regards church government. A comparison between the views of the Church Society and the Colonial Office, might be made with respect to many subjects besides the question of the dependence of the new settlement on the old penal colony, and with equal advantage to the advocates of completeness from the begin ning. But we must turn to another matter. It is very gratifying to observe the name of Mr. William Gladstone among the committee of this New Zealand Church Society. His uprightness, his general accomplishments, and especially his knowledge of the economy of colonies, long since marked him out as peculiarly qualified to take a leading part in colonial politics ; but ft has recently been feared by some that his very decided opinions with respect to the Church of England might prevent him from attaining great eminence as a colonial statesman. He was pledged irrevo cably to the support of the Church of England by endow ment in the colonies as well as at home ; and those who be lieve that it will soon be impossible in colonies to maintain any one church by a state endowment, have perceived iu the distance a rock on which they imagined that Mr. Gladstone's talents and promising reputation would probably be wrecked. That impediment to his future utility seems to be removed. The new plan of dealing with the waste land of a colony by selling it at a uniform and sufficient price, and using the purchase-money as a fund for emigration, affords the means of endowing all sorts of institutions without resorting to general taxation. Wherever this system is adopted in full, the friends of the church may easily and amply provide for her without giving offence to anybody. THE WEATHER AND CROPS MANC H ESTER.—The fine warm weather of last week con tinued until Monday evening, about seven o'clock, when it was succeeded by a sprinkling shower, apparently the result of a thunder storm at a distance. Since then the weather has continued to be unsettled, occasional slight showers falling yesterday ; but we hope that we shall soon have a re turn of that fine weather which is so necessary and so much desired, for the ripening of the crops and the securing of the harvest.—Manchester Guardian. KENT.—The harvest is now general. The wheat crop in this county appears to be good, though on some lands there will be by no means an average crop. All kinds of grain will be got in well, and we think that, with the exception of beans, which appear to be an unusually light crop, the harvest will be a very satisfactory one.—Kentish Gazette, Berks the harvest has commenced in many parts, and in some few places wheat has been carried in Ox fordshire, it is not quite so forward.—Oxford Herald. BOSTON, Auo. 7.—The harvest in this part of the country is progressing most prosperously, with every appearance of the greatest abundance. The fields yesterday, between Stamford.and this town, were full of labourers busy with the sickle. TAUNTON.—The wheat harvest is now very general throughout this and the neighbouring towns of Bridgwater, rth Petherton, Milverton, Bishop's Lydeard, and their l'he benevolent Providence which has r vouchsafed the we vicinities tven us )unteous harvest blessinE Courier of splendid weather for securing i —Tau DEVONSHIRE, — The past week has been uncommonly fa- vourable for the harvest; which is now commenced in differ ent parts of our neighbourhood. The crops are unusually fine • indeed we have heard it remarked by several experi enced persons, that they have seldom seen the corn look so well, the spring corn as well as the wheat.—North Devon Advertiser. _ . . _ WORCESTER.—For the last few days we have been visited with genuine dog-day weather, the heat having been very great. The sun has smiled upon us "from morn till dewy eve" in almust unclouded splendour, and the crops are rapidly improving under its genial influence. The harvest has commenced, which, perhaps, is as much as can be said; some time must elapse, even under favourable circum stances, before it On become general. The harvest will of necessity be a long one.— Worcester Chronicle. • LEICESTER.—The continuance of fine weather during the past week has rendered the chance of a prosperous harvest almost a certainty ; and the agriculturists, generally speak ing, are full of confidence. Corn of every kind will soon be ripe ; and, even if variable weather should occur at the gathering, we feel justified in anticipating a flourishing sea son. In this county, the harvest promises to be very abun dant ; and, from the inquiries we have made, we believe that such will be the case generally.—Leicester Journal. NEWTOWN.—The later crops of hay have been got in, in the most beautiful condition, and, though properly seasoned, nearly as green as when cut. The corn harvest has com menced, and so rapidly does the grain ripen, that the change is daily perceptible.—Salopian Journal. EDINBURGII.—We have continued, with the exception of Monday, to enjoy tlie most seasonable weather, and the crops of all descriptions arc now in excellent order. On Monday, a high wind prepiled, particularly towards evening, with oc. casional slight showers ; but yesterday was a fine sunny day, and made ample amends for the storm. The accounts from all parts of the country are highly encouraging. —Scottish Standard. Cosy:.—We had a heavy fall of rain for several hours yes terday, but we hope no damage has been done by it. With the exception of a couple of smart showers on Thursday, it was the only interruption to the fine weather of the last ten days, during which the progress of the crops has been most encouraging. Some fields of oats have been cut and got into stock, and the condition of the barley and the potato crops is everything that could be wished. Wheat, we have already spoken of as thin in some parts of the country, but in others it is abundant, and the quality of the grain superior to what it has generally been of recent years.—Cork Constitution. BLA - CICBURN .- —During the past week the weather has been most seasonable, and its effect upon the crops has been such as to fill us with a hope that a rich and abundant harvest will be granted to us. In our own immediate neighbourhood little grain is grown, but in the Fylde we understand there is every prospect of more than an average yield. Oats especially look remarkably well, and the crops must almost of necessity be heavy. Here and there wheat is rather thin, but the ears are invariably large. As to the barley, we heard a knowing old fellow say a few days ago that nothing could be doing better —" it hung its heed, an' was bent like a gonder's neck." — Blackburn Standard. The right hon. C.

SUSPENSION BRIDGE AT KENMARE.—The bridge is composed of four chains, presenting a sectional area of forty five square inches, and which have been proved to be capable of sustaining a tension of a hundred tons. Unlike the Menai Bridge, which is composed of whole catenaries, the Lans downe Bridge is formed of two semi -catenaries, of a hundred and fifty feet each. The points of suspension are fifty feet above high-water mark. The tower, which is the centre of suspension, is built of transition limestone, on the large rock in the middle of the sound. The chains are fastened, on the south side, in the solid rock, and, on the north side, mason-work. The en ti re h as been eighteen asteemnms of heavy onthsinprogress, and will be finished in about four.—Kerry Post. • • - - - A MoNsrEn.—On Tuesday, as several labourers were en gaged in reaping a field of wheat at Old Hurst, Hunts, a dis pute arose amongst them and a violent scuffle ensued, when one of them named John Dowd, of Bury, in the county of Lancaster, overpowered an Irish labourer, named Pat Foley, and threw him upon the ground, who immediately in a most ferocious manner with his mouth seized Dowd and entirely severed his lower lip and the fleshy part of his chin from his face. Mr. Longland Ekins, on being informed of this out rage, with his usual promptitude and kindness directed the sufferer to be taken care of until surgical aid could be procured, _flfter which th e mons t er , F o l e y, was taken before the Rev.

And then every party man, no matter to what side he is attached, must regard consistency ; and of statesmen Lord Palmerston is, among living men, the most consistent. " True as the dial to the sun, Whenever it is shined upon." He has consistently, through good report and evil report, stuck to place. 1. Mr. Pitt was prime minister, and Lord Palmerston had a place. 2. Mr. Fox was prime minister, and Lord Palmerston had a place. 3.

You understand Latin ; namely, that of principal Secretary of State for the Foreign Depart ment. Albany Fonblanque has published a book called " England under Seven Administrations." What is that to the work which the noble viscount might publish—" Palmerston under Twelve Administrations? Such an example of consistency, I maintain, is scarcely to be matched in history. Therefore, shall Lord Palmerston receive no marks of con tumely from me; and as for the ruin of England, I am aware that, like a female friend of the late Duke of Queensberry, Britannia takes a good deal of ruining. No, Tobias, my sor rows are much more practical. For the peace of the general world, perhaps, but for the plague and annoyance of the newspaper world beyond question, it pleased the Fates to bring the war to an end in 1815. And what are newspapers now, to what they were then? Treadmills, sir, compared with the former pleasure gardens. Why, when the war raged—raged, do I say ?—when the war sported, newspapers wrote themselves. What had an editor to do but to slip his scissors into the Gazette—and Extraordinary Gazettes were in those days as plenty as blackberries—and whip out of it whole pages of matter at a time. And what matter, Tobias !

INDIAN EXTRACTS ASSAM TEA.—The number of chests of Assam tea, about to be shipped for England this season, is one hundred and twepty.—Calcutta Courier, June 1. - - - EAST INDIA COTTON.—We have been gratified by finding from a file of the Bombay Times, received by the last overland mail, that public attention is still strongly directed to the im provement of the cotton of India. We find the following passage in a report of the proceedings of the third quarterly meeting of the Bombay Chamber of Commerce, for 1830-40, held on the 16th of ?day last : " Read a letter from G. Giberne, Esq. transmitting a bale of Toonieil cotton, grown by Ardaseer Donjeesbaw Bahadoor, in a village near Surat ; reqnesting that the same should be reported on, as compared with other cottons received by the chamber, and put to the test of a public sale ; and stating that a considerable quantity of cotton of equal quality could be produced, if likeld to be sold at a remunerative price. Read and approved, after examination of the bale, the fol lowing report to be communicated to Mr. Giberne :--` This cotton is, in the opinion of the members, superior to that re ceived from Dr. Burnes from Kaira, to the samples of Dec cannee and Egyptian cotton sent from Rutnagherie, and to the fine Broach cotton, formerly shipped to England by Mer wanjee Hormusjee : it is, however, inferior to the beautiful specimens of Conlianee and Sea Island cotton produced at Rutnagherie, and noticed in page 34 of the printed report of the chamber for the second quarter of 1839-40. The mem bers consider it, on the whole, as about equal to the beautiful but short stapled New Orleans cotton, grown at Rutuagherie, referred to in the same page of the report. It would be still more valuable, were not the staple in some degree artificially injured, apparently by having been cleaned with the bow." The bale, having been put up to sale, was, after a brisk competition, knocked down to Messrs. Gibb, Miller, £ Co., at rupees 160 per candy. It is necessary to observe, that " Toomeil cotton" only means cotton of the first picking, and we presume that the bale in question was merely the indigenous cotton of India, cultivated and gathered with more than usual care. If the price paid for it was, as we presume, only what it was fairly worth in the market, it must be valuable cotton ; for the price of the best Broach cotton was only about 115 rupees per candy. If any considerable quantity of such cotton could be produced at a moderate price, it would soon diminish our dependence upon the produce of the United States. PLEASANT WEATHER AT BOMBAY.—We sometimes think that Manchester is pretty abundantly sprinkled with rain ; but what will our readers say to the following account, ex tracted from the Bombay Times of June 17 ?—" The weather, on which for months every year so, little requires to be said in general on this side of India, becomes, at the setting-in of the monsoon, a subject of the greatest importance. We give therefore to-day a table since the first fall of fain on the 4th down to yesterday the 16th, at which date we were in the midst of very severe rains. From this it appears that within the last twelve days 18 29 inches of rain have fallen, of which we have had considerably morethan one half within the last two days." The quantity of rain which is here said to have fallen in two days, would be a very large allowance for two months at Manchester. CHOLERA IN WESTERN INDIA.—We have from time to time been enabled to lay before our readers the melancholy list of the sufferers from cholera at Penwell ; at which, it is understood, the deaths have within these few weeks amounted to no fewer than 600. The pestilence seems at length to have abated at Panwell, where health is reported to be in some measure restored ; but it has transferred its ravages in fearful strength to Mahar, on the direct route to the Marbleshuwr Hills, whence it has, within three weeks past, been sweeping the population before it. Here 300 persons are said already to have suffered. Parties returning from the hills, in antici pation of the immediate setting-in of the monsoon, have, in traversing this district, not only experienced inconveniency, but incurred the extremest danger. On Saturday last, two gentlemen, belonging to a large party, were seized with cho lera, with all the customary symptoms of severest malignancy. Nothing would induce the bearers to remain within the reach of infection. They fled, leaving the palanquins and their passengers behind them. Most providentially, one of the patients was still able to be removed in a buggy which hap pened to be at hand ; and his life, in all probability, was saved by the conduct and kindness of its owner. Of the fate of the other patient, no intelligence has reached us. The ladies of the party were for a time carried forward on bullock Varies, until the bearers were induced to return after the infected region was believed to be past, and the passengers were car ried forward on such temporary structures as the materials and workmanship of the time permitted. At Mahar, the dead were said to he strewed around the precincts of the habitations of the living, who feared nothing so much as to approach the men for interment.—Bombay Times, June 3. It is not generally known that the Grand Cross of the Bath conferred upon the Duke of Wellington was vacated by the death of Lord Nelson. Major-General the Hon. Arthur Wellesley (afterwards created Viscount, Earl, Marquis and Duke of Wellington) was nominated a supernumerary Com panion for his services at the battle of Assaye, and in a letter from Earl Camden, the Secretary at War, to the Marquis Wellesley, after stating that his Majesty had been pleased to raise General Lake to the dignity of the peerage, his lordship went on to say, that in consideration of the eminent and bril liant services of Major-General Wellesley, his Majesty had not only directed that the insignia of the Order should be forwarded to him ; but that he should be created an extra Knight Companion of the Order; and that his creation and investiture should not wait for a succession to a regular va cancy therein.

With respect to speed, we may state that a rate of from thirteen to fourteen miles an hour is confi dently calculated on, which will enable the passage between Johnstone and Glasgow to be made within the hour, in. eliding all stoppages." NEW CHARGE AGAINST THE JEWS A letter from the frontiers of Poland, dated the 24th ult., published in the Universal Gazette of Leipsic, states that" a circumstance which lately took place in the town of Tarnow bad created a great sensation, and recalled public attention to the alleged occurrences at Rhodes and Damascus." It would appear, that " on the arrival of the Archduke Charles in that town there was a geneial illumination ordered, which attracted many peasants from the neighbouring vil lages ; amongst others was a fine young woman, who wore a handkerchief round her head. She was accosted by a Jew, who pulled off the handkerchief and ran away with it. She followed him, whom she considered a thief, to the Jews' quarter, where she suddenly found herself surrounded by a number of Jews, and from that time she was not heard of for some weeks, nor indeed until she appeared before the com missary of police to make a complaint, which had been trans mitted to the superior court at Lemberg." " This is the young woman's account. She has identified the Jewish surgeon who bled her, and the young woman who examined her person, and the cicatrice where she was bled is visible. The criminal cou :t has not yet decided on the case. The young woman has no witnesses, and the accused declare that the charge is false." We have before us the details of a somewhat similar oc currence at Iwaniska, in the palatinate of Sandemir, in Poland, some years since, and transmitted to us with the foregoing, in which, however, the alleged victim was a Chris tian boy, three years old, and who had been murdered. The narrator, however, states a circumstance irreconcilable with the story given in the Leipsic Gazette, namely, that the par ties guilty of or accessory to the murder required that the victim should be of the male sex. She states, that " when she was surrounded by the Jews, she was dragged into a house, and thence into the cellar, where she was bathed in a vat. A Jewish surgeon then came, and having carefully examined her person, be bled her in the arm, and preserved the blood in a vase. This operation was repeated on several days. The young woman, having ob served that she was carefully examined by a female to see whether she had any wound, or stain, or blemish on her person, before the surgeon bled her, determined to cause one, which she did by rubbing her knee against the bathing tub in which they placed her. The next time the surgeon came he saw the wound, and declared (according to the Jewish phraseology) that she was unclean, and on the same night she was carried to, and left in, the churchyerd, where she was found the following day."—Times. REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF LONGEVITY.--A corre spondent informs us, that there is at present residing on the townland of Donord, county Kildare, a woman who is ascer tained to be 144 years of age ! Ather marriage, her husband took a farm of 30 acres of land, leased at 31 years, on the ex piration of which it was again renewed. The family has re mained in the possession of the farm, which is occupied at present by the grandchildren with Khom she lives, and the fourth lease of thirty-one years expired on the 25th of March ' last. Our correspondent adds :—" I have seen the renewals ; and the .woman herself,Aold me, that she was not less than twenty years of age when she married." 7 —Droghedd Arqus. MODERN BURIAL-PLACES.—The John Bull, who has al ways some good to say about modern inventions, observes— " The prettiest gardens now-a-days are the cemeteries. The French taste has overrun English decency, and the frippery and 'folly have invaded localities in which, to a thinking. Chri stian, they are odious, desecrating, and disgusting. The very idea of ' joint-stock cemeteries' (putting aside the absurdity of the decorations') is repulsive and abominable ; and to see these fantastical Golgothas advertised in the newspapers graves, so much ;" vaults, so much ;' with a ` beautiful and extensive prospect of the surrounding country ;" omni buses every half-hour from the bank, sixpence inside ;' why, it is enough to make one's blood run cold with horror." Hops.—We have not for a series of years past seen the hop plantations in so wretched a condition as at this moment. Even in the best grounds the show of hop is inconsiderable, and at the same time extremely partial. Many grounds will not produce a single pound's weight, and several plantations that last year brought a fair average crop, are to be cut down immediately the corn harvest is over. The picture our once luxuriant hop fields presented, is this year a desolate wilder ness. The duty is backed at very little over £40,000. Throughout East• Kent the late sunny days has benefitted the healthy hops, and completely dried up the plants which were looking sickly. The duty will be very low for this dis trict.—Kentish Gazette. • AFFECTING STORY.—A recent letter from Ornek, in Si beria, relates the following affecting tale :—A young woman, only 20, of striking beauty, and one of the most distinguished females in St. Petersburg, was condemned, three years ago, to labour in the mines for the rest of her life, for having, in a paroxysm of jealousy, killed her husband. Her youth and mildness of character induced the governor, instead of sending her down into the mines, to appoint her one of the superin tendents of the hospital at Omek. Induced by the great pro priety of her conduct, the governor petitioned, some time ago, for and obtained her pardon. On this being communicated to her, she was overcome with gloom, and, in a few days after, was discovered in her room lifeless, having opened her veins by means of a large nail. She left the following written on a card :—" Death for death! Human justice pardons me, but divine justice never can. God calls me to him whom I loved, whom I murdered, but whom I still love. Adieu! Pardon me ! Pray for me ! pray for mel"—French paper. RAILWAY ACROSS THE DUDDON, &C.—We continue to receive the most cheering accounts relating to the opening out of a line of communication from Fleetwood to Peel, and across the Duddon into West Cumberland. The projects meets with the decided approbation of many influential parties, and we feel very confident will quickly be carried out with spirit and success. There was a meeting at Fleetwood on Monday, at which Sir Hesketh Fleetwood, the directors of the Preston and Wyre Railway, the directors of the North Union Railway, several capitalists from London, and some gentlemen connected with the committee of the proposed Furness and West Cumberland Railway, were present ; and at which the project of embanking the Duddon, and carrying a railway to Whitehaven, underwent a lengthened discussion, and was most warmly approved by all present. The tide of opinion, we are told, is completely with us ; and that, if we now fail in getting a railway southward, the fault will be mainly our own.—Whitehaven Herald. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCR. — Last week Dr. Ha milton, of this city, extracted a large needle from the side of a man about 45 years of age. The patient from whom it was taken, on applying to the doctor, stated that he had some time previously received a severe fall, and from the pain he suffered, he conceived that one of his ribs had been broken. The doctor, on examining the part, found it much swelled, and to the touch it appeared as if a portion of the lower rib had been fractured. The suffereranxiously entreated him to , but the doctor, fearing that such an operation might nded with danger, refused to comply. He had re course, however, to poulticing and other treatment, and in four days after, on examining it carefully, he discovered the point of a needle protruding, and succeeded in extricating it without subjecting the patient to any violent pain. The needle does not appear much worn, but is greatly disco loured, being quite black—it is very smooth, and sharp at the point, and is supposed to have been swallowed, probably in food, four or five years ago. The man, on its removal, felt at once relieved, and is now perfectly recovered. He had been complaining for eleven weeks before it was extract ed, and latterly was scarcely able, to move.—Derry sentinel. open it be atte THE BRITANNIA, SUPPOSED TO HAVE FOUNDERED AT SEA.—We are happy to inform our readers that some trace has at length been obtained of the ill-fated Britannia ; and though little hope can he entertained that any of the sufferers survive, it must be satisfactory to the relatives to know that every possible means has been used to ascertain their fate. We are indebted to the polite attention of Capt. Lewis, the harbour -master, for the following particulars. Captain L. says—" The master of the Curlew, just arrived from Sydney, informs me that he fell in with the revenue cutter Prince George, Capt. Moore, at Twofold Bay, which vessel had been despatched by the Sydney government in quest of the Britannia, in consequence of some of the aborigines having reported at Twofold Bay that they had seen a boat stranded on the Long or Ninety-mile Beach, and had observed the print of white men's feet in the sand. The cutter repaired to the spot described by the natives, where Captain Moore found a boat washed up on the beach, with the name " Sarah of Sydney," painted on the stern, and the master's name. M`Pherson, on the inside. .This boat Mr. Stafford, the boarding officer at William's Town, identifies as having been sold to the Britannia shortly before she left on her ill-starred voyage." Since the above was in type, we have seen Captain Watson, of the Curlew, who has informed us of the following additional particulars :—The boat when found by Captain Moore, had a mast in it ; it seems probable, there fore, that the brig had foundered at sea. and that the passen gers and crew bad taken refuge in the boat, but whether they reached the shore in safety, or swamped at sea, it is impossi ble to decide. The natives assured Captain Moore that they had seen the print of shoes in the sand, and one of them showed Captain Moore part of a black silk handkerchief he had found in the boat. The revenue cutter comes on to Port Philip coasting in search of the wreck.—Port Philip Herald.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 13 There has been a good demand for Cotton to. day, the sales are 10,000 bags, including affsn on speculation, and 1000 for export , the market very firm at id lb advance on last week's prices in the lower qualities of American. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET.-AUGUST 12. Scotch :—We have experienced a very limited inquiry for Scotch wools generally since our last report, yet prices were tolerably steady. Should the new clips arrive early, they will realize full rates. Arrivals this week 243 bags. previously this year 3495 bags— total 5638 bags. Foreign :—The altention of the trade has been confined of late to the public sales held in London. The prices obtained there have caused rather more firmness in our market, but the sales were few,, and prices remain without any alteration. At rivals this week 967 bags, previously this year 36,446 bags—total 37,413 bags. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AUGUST 11 The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal from Ireland, Coast ways, Canada, and from Foreign ports, have again been to a very trivial extent since Tuesday last, in some degree owing to the easterly winds whieh have prevailed; and during the whole of the past week the weather has continued, like the one preceding, uninterruptedly fine—free from rain, with genial summer heat and sunshine, forcing the crops of Grain rapidly into maturity; reports, however, continue to confirm the generally adopted Opinion that the crops of Hay and of Wheat, with a few partial ex ceptions, will prove but light in quantity, except in the southern districts of England, in which Harvest is now reported to be in full progress ; it has commenced very partially around us, but is not expected to be general before the end of this month. We have, in consequence of the very favourable weather, expe rienced complete stagnation in this, and in all the country Corn markets of the past week, the millers and dealers having continued unwilling to increase the small stocks, and transactions altogether have been so trivial that we cannot quote prices very correctly ; we believe purchases might have been made at about the following decline, 3d to 6d per 70 lb. on Wheat, Is lid to Cs per barrel on Flour, Id per 451 b. on Oats, Is per 2401 b. on Oatmeal, and Is per quarter on all other Grain. The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports was decreased on Friday last one step, say to 13s 8d per quarter, and to as 'lid per barrel on Flour; and on Peas to 2s per quarter, no alteration on any other Grain ; o❑ Friday next the duty on Wheat will be further reduced tolOs ad per quarter and 6s 5d per barrel ; and on Friday the 21st instant, it is anticipated that it will be further reduced to 6s Sd per quarter, and to 4s per barrel; some few speculative purchases of both articles in bond have recently been made at about our last quotations. _ _ _ Our supplies of Wheat Coastways, from London, and from Foreign ports, have been a little increased by a change of wind yesterday, and there has been a little rain during the past night, which must have been very beneficial. At this day's market the languor above quoted prevailed, and sales only to a very trivial extent were effected of every article in the trade, at the above mentioned decline.
