Prices are a shade higher. The advices received by the Baltic to-day, report that the first bale of the new crop of cotton was received in New Orleans on the 16th inst. A private letter dated from Mobile on the 12th, states :—" We are very firm here, and the stock is in few hands. The low falling, and for two weeks past, will do no good to the - growing crop, and the factors are complaining very much." Two vessels are laid on the berth for Liverpool, the Ida and the Livingston, both British. • There is more complaints of worms doing damage, and the rain also. The published accounts of the 'growing crop are not so satisfac tory as could be wished, as will appear by the following extracts, taken from the Mobile papers of 11th July :-- - - It is rather early in the season to make any calculation on the growing crop of cotton, as much depends on the weather during the months of July and August ; but this we can say, that up to this time more damage has been done than we ever knew before. In the first place, the lice and cut worm have done so much injury that in almost every plantation of a sandy character, large places can be seen without anything on them. Of course, no cotton can be made without a stalk. In the next place, "-- have drowned the low spots, where we ' , rge crop years. We often r occur later in the season, 1- of getting covered with .4 being killed. The stalks ranching out and producing have been running y rains cotton in 1; .ains, but tl water, a on all th A of I )looms that ." forme" are scarce, y one know had a large cotton crop when blooms ept in 1839 and in 1852, and those , re late, e Immers. are to be seen, The weed looks unhealthy, and _ although we have had - so much rain is not as large as it ought to be to make a full crop. Small weeds will do well in a dry year, because the joints are close, and filled well, but not in a wet one. From all we can learn, we are safe in stating that in no event can the crop hi this region of country be nearly equal to the last.—[Camden (Ala) Republic.] THE COTTON WORM IN MISSISSIPPI: We learn from the Vicksburg Sentinel, of the 3rd inst., that this very destructive worm has made its appearance in Hinds and Madison counties, and has already done extensive injury both to cotton and corn. Great apprehensions are felt by planters of the almost entire destruction of the crop. We understand that one hundred acres of cotton on the plantation of Dr. Holmes, and about two hundred and fifty on that of Colonel Dobney, both of Hinds, have been totally destroyed. We hope, however, by our next issue, to be able to give some favourable intelligence. On the same subject the Yazoo City Observer, of the 3rd inst., says :—" A gentleman just from Holmes county states that the caterpillar of 1846, or army worm, has made its appearance in several placeain that county, and that some fields of cotton have been entirely laid waste by them. Some planters are ploughing up and planting corn." The business season in the South may be con sidered quite closed, the vessels loading for Liver. pool being reduced to 6 in New Orleans, and 2 in Charleston, Savannah and Mobile nil ; so. that the exports will be exceedingly small for some time to come The Baltic from New York, brought 458,291 dollars in specie on freight, _ . .

Accounts from Berlin state that, on the 25th inst. a number of police officers appeared in the Corn Market, for the purpose of taking into custody any speculators whose operations cause a rise in the price of wheat, rye, and other kinds of grain. It niay be supposed that such a circumstance created no small, amount of consternation in the market; and the effect has been the reverse of that intended by the authorities. Many foreign sellers of grain, fearing that the presence of the police would bring down the prices considerably, retired immediately from the market, which has sent them up aecordingly - tole of the 397,7001. in specie brought in made, from the United States, and by the Lng, from Melbourne,' has been taken for Oliver La specie ex the Canada - a considerable portion was on French account ship New Great Britain was need yesterday.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT, BRUSSELS, TUESDAY. The article in the French Moniteur, expressing a sort of sympathy for the coup d'etat of O'Donnell in Spain, has caused a very unfavourable impres sion, indeed, in this country. It shows, in the eyes of the Belgians, that that Government is favourable to tyranny; and that, consequently, it is. and must be, hostile to liberal institutions in Belgium Although I have only been in Belgium some ten days, I have, by going from place to place, and from having had the honour of conversing with some political personages of great note, and from my attentive examination of the metropolitan and provincial newspapers, acquired the conviction that the Belgians, taken altogether, entertain the deepest hatred and distrust of Louis Napoleon. The terms in which they speak of him are such as would excite the astonishment of the good people of Paris and France. • The Belgians look on him as the bitter enemy of their national inde pendence and their liberty, and they say that a little sooner, or a little later, he will certainly attempt to annex Belgium to France. The notion is certainly (for the present at least) a mistaken one, but the existence of it, and the hatred of Imperial France which it excites, are facts which are well worthy of note. The Belgians intend to give grand fetes to their King in all their principal towns, to commemorate the twentyfifth anniversary of his accession to the throne, and of their national independence. On Sunday and yesterday, the old and quaint city of Bruges gave its fetes. The King and royal family were present, and were received with extraordinary enthusiasm, not only by all the population of the city, but by the inhabitants of the towns and villages for tnany miles around. I spare you a detail of the fetes, although present at t I them—they -• were a repetition, on a smaller scale, of those at Brussels. But they showed what those of the capital did—the deep affection in which the King is held. Lord John Russell and his family are at present at Ostend. A vast number of Russian nobles and their families are also there. EVACUATION OF THE CRIMEA OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM SIR W. J CODRINGTON A supplement of the London Gazette of Tuesday contains the following official intelligence : WAR DEPARTMENT, July 30. Lord Panmure has received a despatch, of which the following is a copy, addressed to his lordship by General Sir William Codrington— Constantinople, July 16. My Lord,—Finding that all arrangements could be completed for evacuating the Crimea on the 12th inst, I wrote the previous day to the officer in command of the remaining troops, a colonel of the gendarmerie at Kamiesch, that I should be ready to hand over the dock yards of Sebastopol, and the port of Balaklava, on that day. Her Majesty's ship Algiers had entered the port of Balaklava on the 7th instant; the 56th Regt. embarked in that ship on the evening of the 11th, and the only troops remaining were one wing of the 50th Regiment which formed the guard of the town that night. The following day (the 12th), at one p.m., all the remaining stores and establishments having been embarked, a company of the 50th was posted outside of the town to receive the Russian troops, and, on their approach, marched in with the Russian guard, composed of about fifty mounted Cossacks, and a similar number of infantry Cossacks. The usual form of salutes took place, the Russians placed sentries where they wished, and the four companies of the 50th marched on board the Algiers. I embarlced with my personal staff at the same time. Although the weather was favourable, we were unable to put into Balaklava that evening. Admiral Sir H. Stewart and Admiral Fremantle were at anchor outside the harbour. They weighed, and we all sailed for this place, where I arrived to-day.-1 have, &,e , W. J CODRINGTON, eneral Commanding. POCKET PICKING.—WM. Jones, a young fellow some 17 or 18 years of age, was charged at the police office, with picking the pocket of Mary Beller of a portemonaie and 2s. The prisoner has been eight times already charged with offences of various sorts, and was now committed for trial. A Cabinet Council was held on Monday afternoon at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. It was attended by Viscount Palmerston, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, earl of Harrowby, Sir George Grey, Earl of Clarendon, Mr. Secretary I aboochere, Lord Panmure, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Charles Wood, the Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith, Lord Stanley c.f Alderley, - and the Right Hon. M. T. Baines. The council sat two hours and a half. COUNTY Comm, YESTERBAV.—(Before Joseph Pollock, Esq., Judge.)—AN ABSCONDING DEBTOR—RINGLAND V. EVANS.—Mr. Gray applied on behalf of the plaintiff, a cabinet-maker and u pholsterer, at Shelton, for a fraud summons against the defendant, under the following cir cumstances :—Tho defendant was engaged in business at Hanley, and on the 21st of this month ho obtained goods from the plaintiff to the value of Bs., paying .ElO on account. He then sold the goods by auction, and came to Liverpool with his wife, and took berths for himself and her in one of the " Black Ball Line " of packets for Aus tralia, which was to sail in the course of a day or two. The plaintiff saw him since he came to Liverpool and demanded the balance of the account, £4 Bs., but the defendant refused payment, saying that he was going abroad and that there was no law in England to compel him. The court granted a fraud summons returnable at tutu o'clock. 1. immense 1 s Liverpool's after all, comr, re and Yorkshire have in this ith our Southern Colonies an the traffic we carry on with dozen cc Aries in the e in California the shows a decre I export dealings with Australia ill amount this year to fully 40,000,0001., and in to discover the national importance of a steam communication with that portion of our dominions.

We wish it, however, to be distinctly understood, that we feel no whatever towards the gentlemen who have obtained the contract. We only declaim against the route they have selected ; and we feel convinced that, before they have made half a dozen passages both ways, they will be glad to get the Government to transfer their steamers to the qersey, and allow them to convey the mails via ?anama.

Her ➢iaj^ Count Boos, and Baron Ernest morning for sty and the Prince Consort accompanied the Pri 1 yacht Fair anapton in the rCi Col. F will at Groom in Waiting to TILE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF y Eve sterday, and pro( eded to London The final leave-taking of his famil, e Queen, Prince Albert, the Princess Royal, and rest of the royal family, took place t Prepara. as were to be made here by the railway and dock thorities to enable the Princess of Prussia, ber daughter e Princess Louise, and their suite, to leave for London by the 11.30 a.m. train. In consequence of the fineness of the weather this morning, it was considered not improbable that her Majesty and Prince Albert would accompany their illustrious guests to Southampton in the Fairy. This turned out to be the case. At half-past eleven approached, the Fairy, with the royal standard hoisted,was seen steaming with immense speed up the river Itchen, and as soon as she entered the dock her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were instantly recognised on board. A railway carriage for the accommodation of the Prussian princesses was drawn up close to the water's edge, and the same preparations were made for their landing by the dock authorities as are made for her Majesty herself. A. large space was barri caded off, and a landing place, covered with scarlet cloth, marked out. Considerable curiosity was manifested to see the family with whom our Princess Royal is about to be so intimately connected. As soon as the Fairy was alongside, the whole of the Royal personages, with their attendants, were on deck, and the farewell took place. Although this was done at first with that profound and graceful reverence which; is characteristic of royal eti quette, yet anyone could see that this was no mere cere- molly. No doubt the two illustrious families, whose domestic happiness is about to be so intimately dependent on each other, had taken leave at Osborne, yet at sepa rating at Southampton her Majesty, w ith a charming frank ness which distinguishes her, kissed affectionately the Prussian Princesses while shaking hands with them, and the latter also kissed the Princess Royal. The members of the suite of the Princess of Prussia fell on one knee and kissed the hand of her Majesty, Prince Albert conducted the a to their rail carriage, and th( gracefull -e of them and thei train started, the Prussian Princesses waved andkerchiefs to her Majesty and the Prince who both imitated the part tarted, there was a rush of persons toy Salute.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE• FRANCE PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The Spanish letters and papers received to day are of very little interest. The Madrid journals publish a number of bulls. tins from the provinces, which, of course, are all favourable to O'Donnell's Government. At Reuss and Gracia it is admitted that the struggle was terrible. Jaen, Granada, Alnieira, and Malaga still appear at these dates (24th and 25th) to have remained in a state of " pronouncament." O'Don nell is represented as energetically resisting the efforts of reaction. Nevertheless, it seems that after "mature consideration," the Government has decided not to reorganise the National Guard of Madrid. It is announced that M. Qlozaga's resignation has not been accepted by the Queen of Spain. It is even said now that it was never offered. A letter from Corunna, of July 22, represents the state of Galicia as altogether favourable. The National Guard in that province have been dis armed without difficulty. The Pays says that the latest letters from Spain state that several members of the revolutionary Junta of Saragossa have resigned, and that the inhabitants of the town, on finding that they had been deceived by the insurgents, who had falsely announced to them the triumph of the insurrec tion at Madrid and on the principal points of the territory, were anxious to make their submission. The journals of the south of France are filled with pars graphsyelating to movements of troops. The Jotirn - al des PYreneel Orientales says that a flying division is being organised at Carcassone, under the orders - of General Lafontaine. It will consist of several regiments of cavalry and infantry. In case, says this journal, of " certain eventualities," these troops will be sent, either by way of the department of the Pyrenees Orientales or the Ariege, to the Pyrenean frontier, in order to " protect French territory." The " even tualities " which can require such large forces as are now assembling at Carcassone, Bayonne, Toulouse, and other places, to protect the French soil, might be thought to be very remote. It is a fact to be observed that changes of quarters are never made at this time of the year without urgent necessity. The Bourse opened with some firmness, but gave way almost immediately. Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer arrived last , evening in Paris on his route to the East, where he is com missioned to arrange the government of the Walla. chian and Moldavian provinces. He was attended by Captain Leicester Vernon, M.P. The Moniceur publishes the average price of wheat for the whole of France for the three Weeks during the middle of July. The average is 33f. 49c., and for the previous three weeks it was 31f. In consequence of the immense supply of wheat received at Marseilles last week, amounting to 135,000 hectolitres, a check has been given to speculation. Sixteen thousand hectolitres of Rochelle wheat were sold for immediate delivery at 32f. to 34f, and sixteen thousand hectolitres Taganrog at from 27f. 50c. to 28f. 50c. SPAIN The latest despatch we have received, is dated Madrid, July 29. From this we learn that all the provinces are tranquil, Saragossa excepted. It is thought that the majority in the city will be dis posed to capitulate. The resistance of some chiefs only is anticipated. Generals Echagues and Dulce are before Saragossa, and reinforcements are arriving from all sides The government had superseded in their func tions all the employees of the administration at Saragossa, Teruel, Jaen, and other points, which had declared against the Queen. Count Villar, Commander of the Artillery, and one of the Deputies who signed the manifestation against the new Cabinet, had been placed on the retired list The brother of the bullfighter, Pucheta, and a nailor, who shot a captain of the army on the square of La Cebada, during the insurrection, have been arrested in Madrid. M. Narciso de la Escosura, brother of the ex- Minister of the Interior, had likewise been arrested. The number of civilians and National Guards killed during the collision at Madrid was 69. M. Marfori left by the Bayonne mail on the 24th with the reply of the Government to the offers of service of Marshal Naruaez. The Moderadoes were indignant at his being ordered to remain in Paris. General Prim, Count de Deus, had arrived at Madrid The Madrid Militia was not to be re-organised. The Municipality and Provincial Deputation of Cadiz had been dissolved. THE SOUND DUES According to a correspondent of the Hanoverian Gazette, the negotiations touching the Sound Dues have taken a turn which leads to the hope of see ing this affair shortly settled. With the exception of England, all the powers have given their vote, and pronounced favourably for the principle of redemption. It is probable (says the journal just mentioned) that the fresh propositions, based on this principle, will shortly bring about an arrange ment, although some difficulties of detail may arise, especially in determining the amount of capital for redeeming the dues in question O ITALY The Arnicnia, of Turin, states that the police have just discovered a large quantity of arms and ammunition concealed in a house at Novara. The occupant of the house has made his escape across the frontier. On the 22nd the remainder of the prisoners who had been taken to Mantua were brought back to Parma to stand their trial. The same paper adds that one of the prisoners, a Dr. Fanti, had lost his reason in consequence of the treatment which ho had received in prison, and for three months, while in a state of delirium, he was obliged to lie on the bare ground in his prison, the Austrian surgeon obstinately declaring that his illness was feigned. The Opinione of Turin announces that several influential persons at Florence are collecting sub scriptions for a sword of honour to be presented to General della Marmora. _ _ Baron Hubner, the Austrian ambassador to the Court of Paris, arrived at Venice on the 23rd, from Trieste. _ A letter from Parma, of the 23rd, says that the Austrians on the frontier of Lombardy are making preparations for crossing the Po at four different points, namely at Viadana, Solarolo, Casalmaggiore, and another place. The Rome and Frascati railway trains have stopped running, the line being found unsafe. DISSOLUTION. OP PARTNERSUIP.—R. Hoyle, T. Hoyle, and W.

THEATRE ROYAL.—Sir William Don, a Scottish who has adopted the stage as a appearedproression at t h s theatre in the character of Tom Ripslone, in the new comedy of the " Evil Genin , -," which he sustained with a manly tonhommie, nicely savoured with humorous expression. He after wards appeared in the drama of "The Toodles," the exact meaning of which piece yet remains to be dis covered. However, the character of Mr. Toodies is replete with fun, and in the hands of Sir William Don, kept up continued amusement. There was a slight tendency to exaggerlite, but, on the whole, the acting of the illustrious barcliet was replete with genuine humour, comically conceived, dressed and expressed. 'We would say of Sir Williana . Don's general ability, as an actor, that if he trusts more to his own innate humour and delineative poweri, than to his recollections of other actors, and would a little subdue his exuberence of fun, which tends to over-acting, he may t:lke a position, as a comedian, which will bear the severest criticism, and his performances would always yield an extraordinary degree of pleasure to his auditors. He is, we are informed, about to appear at the flaymarket. We regret to add that the performances of Sir William have been interrupted by severe indisposition, as notified by placards attached to the entrances of the theatre on Tuesday evening. INDIA AND CHINA. We yesterday announced the arrival of the Overland Mail. Since the receipt of this intelli gence, our despatches have come to hand. The dates are Calcutta, June 17; Bombay, June 27;- Hong Kong, June 10 ; Shanghae, June 2. INDIA. From the summary of the Bombay Times, of June , 22, we collate the following intelligence : The rains which commenced so early and so auspiciously have for the past fortnight been altogether suspended. The Chief of Toolsepore in Onde having refused to submit him self to our authority and threatened to give us trouble, the right wing of the 73rd Bengal Native Infantry, the sth Irregulars, and Captain Waldy's battery marched from Lucknow on the 24th of May. They were joined at Bolartnpore by the 22nd Native Infantry and 38th Light Infantry and Whitley's battery. There they met Mx- Wingfield, C. S., the Deputy Commissioner, who having prey ceded the main body with the 38th and sth, at once took possession of the place. The troops, which were two years in . arrears, offered no opposition ; the chief fled ingloriously,and alone seeking shelter some way in front—intending, as was supposed, to get within the Nepaul frontier. The deputy commissioner, with a' party mounted on elephants, and irregulars, now dashed ,on, and overtook the object of their quest—their approach being concealed by a tremendous deluge of rain—when he was surrounded and captured without resistence, the force having returned to quarters without the loss of a man. Throughout our newly acquired territory everything is as prosperous and orderly as in the old provinces of the empire. The King, after hating got the length of Calcutta, seems to have found his heart fail within him at the idea of leaving for England. The Sontal insurrection seems once more to have gone to deep ; the monsoon rains have drowned out the flames of discontent, if any such existed, and throughout all parts of our empire the most profound tranquility prevails. Two officers, Lieutenant& Pateerson and Tovey, have been dismissed the service, the one for calling the other "a liar," the other for assaulting his insulter. General Sir P. Grant assumed command of the Madras army on the 10th inst, the first comnany's officer ever posted to the rank of commander-in-chief in these armies, in which he had risen. His allowances are reduced by one half under the new charter. Great excitement has prevailed within the past ten days at the presidency owing to four Parsee students from the Elphinstone Institution having applied to the missionaries of the free church of Scotland for Christian instruction and baptism ; three of them have returned to their friends. Lord Canning is at Calcutta, and the gover nors of Madras and Bombay are at the ffeats of their respec tive governments. The Bombay Money Market has become *roller, and seeurities of all descriptions have given way. Yreights have declined, and the condition of the Spiport Ma k :ket io somewhat depressed: COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY, June 25.—The Overland Mail of the 26th May was received at Bombay on the 21st of June, per Peninsular and Oriental steamer Madras. Our money market during tilts fortnight has become much easier, and the Banks in conse— quence have reduced their rates 2 per cent, all round. - GREY SHIRTINGS, 40 and 45 in. , of all descriptions are in good demand, and prices have advanced on 71bs. to fillbs. 1 to 2 annas per piece. GREY MADAPOLLAMS AND JACONETS are in fair enquiry at last prices. _ GREY T CLOTHS of all descriptions are in good demand. COTTON YARN.—No sales have been effected, holders generally having shown firmness, and dealers not feeling inclined to , give higher prices. TUMMY RED AND ORANGE YARN are both in fair request. METALS : English bar iron hoops and square nails are in good demand, and prices have advanced, as have also Swedish bar. Steel in tubs and faggots remain at former quotations. Lead pig and sheet have advanced in price. Spelter and tin plates are in demand, and prices risen. Copper of all descrip tions is in very good demand. ExPon's—Cotton : A large and active business has been doing since last mail, and prices at one time advanced, but since the receipt of advices by the mail of the 26th May, the enquiry has not been so brisk, and prices are looking down. OPIUM The market is in rather a decliniag state. FREicarrs : Owing to large arrivals, freight has declined; we quote for Liverpool and London £3 5s per ton, and look for a downward tendency. For China we quote Its 9 per candy. EXCHANGE opened by a small sale of bank, at 2s lid, local credits of superior quality fetching 2s lt-d, and documents, 2s 14d. CALCUTTA, JIINTE 17.—The commercial intelligence from home to 10th May via Bombay, reached us on the sth, and the steamer Hindostan delivered her packets on the 14 th inst. Our produce market has been in a state of inactivity since our last report, and no prospect of change can be looked for till the opening of the rivers. IMPORTS: The market had assumed a better appearance after the departure of the last mail. CoLotntEn YARNS have been enquired for lately, and soma speculative transactions have taken place in Manchester chintz and prints, at an advance of two to four annas per piece on former prices. SHIRTINGS : Grey, five to seven pound and forty inches especially have been in fair request. Figured shirting's have also improved about three or four annas. White arc in limited demand, and without any alteratian in price. CoLnuliED COTTONS are in moderato enquiry, and the supplies in the hands of importers being ample to meet present requirements, sales have been submitted to a slight reduction; in prices. 14ADiroLL4ms : Grey of low qualities are i❑ demand, and selling at an advance of Ito 2 annas per piece. White are not much enquired for. . F n.EIGHrs The litnited operation in exportable goods haS tended to keep down rates The MONEY MARKET has continued very easy since our last, and has afforded facility in procuring accommodation itz the Bazaar on very moderate terms. The bank of Beng a l, at their last meeting on the 12th, made a further reduction of one per cent. all round, and, from tho large supply of cash in. their possession, their rates must still be further lowered. EXCHANGE ON ENGLAND : The rates had advanced at the close of the last mail, when first-class credits and bank post hills were at 2s OP to 2s lid. Document bills at 2s lid. Very little has since been done, and the rates may at present be quoted—first-class bills, at six months' sight, at 2s ld to 2s lid ; document bills, at 23 lid ; bank of England post:. bills, at 2s to 2s Oicl, CHINA. The Friend of China says :—Since the despatch of the last mail nothing has occurred in this quarter calling for special remark. The revolution is progressing. NoW up, now down, the patriots at present appear to be on the ascend of the "see saw." As foreigners in China, however, are far removed from the fighting ground, we have to trust to native report for all the know ledge we can obtain of the subject, and this knowledge, itt reality, is hut little. Political reports from the interior continue unsatisfactory. In Kiangsi the Imperial troops are said to have been defeate I by the rebels, and to have lost 3,000 men, amongst them seven mandarins. In the north the insurgents appear also to have met with much success, and the town of Ning-kwo-Foo has been taken by them. This place lies about 100 miles westward of Hoochow, the centre of the silk district. Parties are said to have approached Pun-new-Chiu, and cause much alarm at Soochow. These disturbances had affected trade at Shanghai, and the new teas were expected to be late in arriving, owing to the interference to transit. His Excellency Admiral Seymour, in her Majesty's ship Winchester, proceeds on a visit to the northern ports on the' ith inst. We do not hear anything further regarding a diplomatic visit to Japan. We have no news of the squadron in the north. The China Mail of June 5 says :—The ratifications of Sir John Bowring's treaty with the King of Siam were exchanged on the sth April at Bankok. Very grand ceremonies accompanied the act, and especially the accept ance of the autograph letters of Queen Victoria to their Siamese Majesties. The Hon. Company's steamer Auck land, which conveyed Mr. Consul Parkes and the English ratifications, was rec:ived by, and returned, royal salutes' from all the batteries on the Menem. The treaty came into full operation on the 7th of April. The arrival of the consul was anxiously looked for, and the prospects of trade very encouraging. An accident had occurred to one of the small postal steamers that run between this and Canton. The steamer struck a rock, and the fore part almost immediately sank- Several Chinese were drowned, but no Europeans. Trade in imports at Canton had been satisfactory during the month. Long cloths had been in request, and are 5 c to 10c dearer for some descriptions. Cotton yarn has declined, owing to forced sales. Rice is very abundant, and the price has further giren way. In tea there has been a considerable business done at about previous rates. The first shipment is expected to be made during the month. Prices are likely to be high at first. ..... . Shanghai advices are to the Ist inst. Operations in tea and s ilk of last season were nearly closed. The new coognog were not expected to arrive for two or three months. The new crop of silk promises to be abundant, and o f g ood qnali' y. Prices are likely to rule high. dates are to the 27 t h u l t . T h e new teas had arriving.
