THE NORTHERN TIMES.--LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. thing direct for France. In the first year named above (1849) there was no exports of flour to French ports, and only 108 bushels of wheat ; in 1852 the total includes 2,700 barrels of flour, and in 1853 only 8,784 barrels; but in the year ending June 30, 1854, there were shipped direct to France 1,041.098 bushels of wheat, 728,270 barrels of flour, and 39.400 bushels following fiscal year (1854.5) the d w AFFAIRS TkIE ROYAL BRITISH BANK e rumours with regard to the statemeL ities to be presented on Saturday to the shareholders Royal British Bank do not encourage the slightest ' a result less disastrous than has hitherto been .ed.

These checked the decline without wholly arresting it ; but, as the harvest approached, the hopes of an average crop became less innguine, and it is now generally admitted that the supply will be deficient from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 hectolitres—that is, from 14,000,000 to 28,000,000 bushels.

One correspondent expresses suspicions that even after the bank had become embarrassed by its connection with the coal and iron works in Wales, the chief efforts employed were with an intention to extract some personal profits from them instead of to retrieve, as far as possible, the interests of the shareholders. ." It should be asked," he says, "at the With an average crop, France has heretofore been able not only to supply her own wants, but to furnish about 5,500,000 bushels of wheat (or its equivalent in flour) for e consumption of Great Britain. It is evident that this ereatly reduced during the wants of her be cut off or own peop'e. Indeed, the total exports to Great Britain from all French ports for the year 1355 amounted to an equivalent of only 880,000 bushels, or about 15 per cent. of the usual 11 foreign produce, shipped from approaching meeting, first, whether two or more of the former directors did not enter into an arrangement with the bank for carrying on the works on their own account? Secondly, whether the .advances made by the bank to the said directors have been repaid, or transferred, as the speculation failed, to the debt of the Welsh property in the books of the bank ? And, thirdly, whether in fact the position of affairs was not. pretty nearly to the effect, If the coal and iron works thrive they belong to the said directors, but, if otherwise, they revert to the bank—advances and all ? " This may be a misapprehension, but the prevalence of such assertions shows the necessity not only on behalf of the public, but also for the reputation of all concerned, that every step in the history of the establishment should be investigated with a view to the confirmation or disproval of them. Another correspondent has transmitted somo documents with respect to which there cannot be much mistake. They are dated within a week of the stoppage of the bank, and contain an urgent invitation to the person to whom they were addressed, to join the direction " con sisting of gentlemen of undoubted means and position," the manager being meanwhile prepared to afford him " the fullest information." Thus, from beginning to end every proceeding, as far as it is possible to_ judge at present, appears to have been discreditable. It is to be hoped that on Saturday those among the present directors who deny complicity in the misdeeds to be exposed will give the best proof of their sincerity by unfolding everything that may serve to bring forward the real offenders, and to fix upon them the opprobrium they deserve.—Times. In Great BriLain a crop this year is very good, but it wants of the people. The to the United Kingdom for the i 3 never sufficient to supply the total imports of breadstuff three years (reckoning flour, &c., at its equivalent in ) are as folio Calendar year. Equal to bu.hels of wheat, 1854 1855 84,419.632 63,267,240 50,227,608 The high prices have contributed to reduce the imports into the United Kingdom during the last two years to the lowest possible point ; but for the first six months of the current year the total imports amounted to 1,859,000 quarters, show ing an increase of 161,000 quarters, or 1,248,000 bushels, and must continue at about this rate throughout the remainder of the year. Even with a good harvest, the kingdom must need at least 40,000,000 bushels of grain, or its equivalent in flour for its own consumption. Of this amount, Russia, (Northern and Southern ports), whose supplies were cut off during the war, can now furnish 10,000,000 bushels ; Prussia (whose harvest is this year below the average) 10,000,000 bushels; all other countries, 5,000,000 ; leaving 15,000 to come from the United States. If prices rule at a comparatively low rate, the consumption' will be increased, and the quota from this country may reach 20,000,000 or 25,000,000 of bushels. Spain and Portugal have hitherto exported to both France and England, the shipments to the latter last year being upwards of 4 000,000 bushels. This year, the harvests are there so poor, that the export is prohibited, and supplies for consump• tion in the Peninsula are going forward from this port. We see, therefore, that in addition to the demand for the breadstuffs from regular customers, we arc likely to have an increased export trade to Europe, making the aggregate probably more than 40,000,000 bushels of wheat and corn, or its equivalent in flour. It is difficult to ascertain the exact production of the United States. The total arable land ARCHBISHOP WHALE ON THE WAR With the permission, it is to be presumed, of the Pope's delegate in Ireland, Archbishop M'Hale has been permitted to break the mysterious silence which he has preserved for nearly two years past. The lion of Judah, it seems, has, among others, been solicited for pecuniary support by the secretaries of the Crimean banquet, and, by way of a response to the appeal, Dr. APHale favours, the said secre taries with a homily which trenches upon two columns of the Freeman's Journal. Abstinence from public writing, whether compulsory or otherwise, has not effected any improvement in the style or matter of those once familiar espistles from St. Jarlath's, and consequently ,there is little of attraction or novell y in the long letter just ushered into print. Nevertheless, as the subject which has elicited it happens to be the almost solitary topic of the day, an extract or two from this tediously elaborate communication may be excused upon this occasion. Hav ing expressed his full concurrence with the mark of national gratitude about to be conferred upon the Irish soldiers of the Crimea, the rev. prelate proceeds : " On the gallant achievements of the troops from Great Britain and Ireland who warred in the Crimea there cannot be, I am sure, any discrepancy of opinion. As those services are so highly and generally appreciated, there should be, in all justice, a corresponding manifesta tion of the gratitude to which they are entitled. The active valour of the united army has been considerably enhanced by the unexampled sufferings they had in com mon to endure, and the Irish portion of the forces, whom it' is particularly meant to honour had, in addition to those physical sufferings, spiritual privations to encounter, compared to which they set at nought all the horrors of the campaign. To appreciate such devoted ser vices, and adequately to reward them, would be creditable to the feelings of any nation, and no nation should be deemed worthy of their continuance that would not labour fortheir just remuneration. That the coming banquet. or any such transient display of convivial hilarity, is the only sort of a reward that a faithful army should expect from a great people as a compensation for all their gal lant feats and terrible sufferings but few will venture to maintain. Such a manifestation of gratitude might be well suited to the services of distinguished individuals, who never felt the religious as well as physical hardships of the Irish Catholic soldier, nor apprehended their recur rence, and who, therefore, cannot sufficiently estimate the permanent value which he sets on being freed from those privations: To men so circumstanced —for example, the faithful representatives of the people—such a manifesta tion as that now contemplated is always encouraging, fur nishing a valuable testimony to their fidelity, an incen tive to perseverance, and a reproof to such others as have sacrified to their selfish views the public interests that were confided to their tutelage. But such demonstra tions have, as they should have, but little influence on the courage of the masses of military citizens, as they may be called, of which an army is composed. They aspire to more solid comforts and to more sacred and lofy rewards. It was for their altars and for their hearths—pro aria et focis—for all the endearing interests and sacred hopes and engagements that are for ever associated with those two words of such pregnant signification—and it was for them, and not for any less holy objects, that the most brilliant feats recorded in sacred, or profane, or ecclesiastical history were achieved. Free altars and secure firesides formed the most imposing theme by which the Roman generals kindled the courage of their soldiers. Never was the valour of the Hebrew people so signally. displayed as when they fought to protect their temple and its worship pers from profanation. It was the consciousness that they were engaged in the defence of their holy religion, and supplied with all its consolations, that strung to such a high pitch the heroism of the champions of the cross as to perform prodigies of prowess exceeding all belief if not so well authenticated. A similar feeling has sustained, under the most disastrous circumstances, the intrepidity of the soldiers of every Christian country, who knew that with victory were sure to be associated the secure tenure of the home and the free practice of the faith for which they gladly risked the danger of life itself. The noblemen and gentlemen who compose the committee for the Cri mean banquet are well aware that such is not the lot of the Irish Catholic soldiers, who have won their just admiration; and as they are anxious to prove their grati tude for their protectors, I trust they will labour in all earnestness to procure for those brave men the only benefits they prize, and the only remuneration that can be adequate to their services.:' • Then follows a prolix and extraordinary disquisition upon all the State grievances which have been' dished up and relished any and every day withing the last ten years or more—the absence of security , for the tenant the refusal of Lord Aberdeen to provide spiritual assistance for the Roman Catholic soldier, and' such like standard subjects of former epistles. Having thus spun out the cata logue, the writer takes breath, and asks : " What is it, if we are to believe the encomiasts of British soldiers, that has signalised their valour through. out the world but the proud consciousness they feel that while fighting at home or abroad they are fighting for their country, for its freedom, for its commerce, for its institutions, and, in short, for the aggregate of all those things belonging to their civilisation? It is this, they tell us, whether the facts be exaggerated or not, that exalts English prowess so much above the mere material force of the serfs of Russia, who cannot feel the same zeal in defending the despotic power that consigns them to such abject slavery. If this reasoning be right, and no doubt it has its force, why not give all its benefits in favour of our country and its Sovereign to the Irish Catholics, who form so large a portion of our army ? Surely the English possess no monopoly of the domestic virtues. Their hearths and their homes, and the holy affections by which they are consecrated, were never dearer to them than his cottage to the Irish soldier. Why, then, endeavour to:assimilate him to the Russian serf in leaving him and his nearest kindred to the mercy of a landlord, rendered, however benevolent by nature, as arbitrary by law as the Russian Czar, and depriving him of all heart and courage, having no home to defend ? Though the Englishman may boast of his Protestantism, he, is not so much attached to his faith as the Irish Catho lics are to theirs ; and why, then, favour the enemy, to the injury of the country, by taking from the Irish soldier the aid of religion in the battle field and la the camp—the true clement of heroism, without which the courage of the great Turenne himself would have languished ? When they are eulogised as the defenders of their country the compliment will, it is to be hoped, be a reality, not a mockery. It will not mean the country of one class to the exclusion of another, but their common country, with its impartial protection of all its children. Without this your banquet will not lay ho ld of the feelings or enlist the co-operation,' as far as I know them, of the clergy or of the people. What a bitter disappointment and mortifying result would it be to consign on the following morrow to the chilling influence of oppression or neglect that valour and fidelit y which, but the evening before , yo u have been warmin g wi th hospi tality and praise !

The total yield of wheat being computed at 150,000,000 bushels, it is easy to see that the export demand can be filled without creating any extraordinary excitement throughout the country. Last year the farmers anticipated such high rates that many of them refused to sell in time, and thus, to their great chagrin, were obliged to dis pose of their stock at the close of the season far below the year to b the Da early li msailtesbeplroow which foreign promise to be the beet, at r a2 b e e t ere h any home accumulation, At would r We scarcely expect o rates during the current season, ut within that range an a, ion business may be expected, Tho prospects for Indian corn cannot be given .until nesrer the close of the harvest.

This annual acqnatic fete came oft on Monday last, and was most numerously and fashionably attended. The weather was delightfully fine, and the congregation of visitors was greater than we remember on any similar occasion in Bangor. At two o'clock, prompt, the proceedings commenced with the race for gentlemen's yachts under eight tons—the prize being an elegantly chased and engraved silver claret jug, manufac tured expressly for the purpose by Mr. J. W. Benson, of 33, Ludgate Hill, London. Five yachts were entered, two belong ing to the Straits, and three to the Birkenhead Model Yacht Club. They were the Glide, 74 tons, Thos. Wilkinson, Esq., Birkenhead. Spray, 7 tons, Alfred Bower, Esq., Birkenhead. Giraffe, 51 tons, Alfred Ewer, Esq , Birkenhead. Razor Bill, 5 tons, Hugh Thomas Davies Griffith, Esq., Craig yr halen, Menai Bridge. Nautilus, 8 tone, Rev. L. Slater, Belmont, Bailor. These were ranged in a lino opposite the Slate-yard, and at a given signal the first four were started, with an exceedingly light breeze. It was soon seen that the contest would lie altogether between the two first-named, and the others returned to their moorings; but the wind shifting, and subsequently dying away, the interest felt in the race at the commencement completely evapourated. The crews did not land till after dark, when each party claimed the prize, and there being some difficulty on the part of the committee in coming to a decision, through the race partaking more of the character of a drifting match than a sailing contest, and both parties having committed some irregularities, the representa tives of the owners of the Glide offered to run the course over again on the ensuing day, which was accepted by the owner of the Spray, conditionally that his vessel should be found in a fit state—she having received some damage by touching the ground. On the following day the Spray was reported all right, and the committee made the requisite preparations ; but a new representative of the owner of the Glide refused to fulfil the engagement entered into on, his principal's behalf on the previous night, alleging that his brother was not authorised to make or consent to any such proposition. The Spray, there fore, ran over the prescribed course, and claims the cup, which at present remains in the hands of t he committee. The course was from Garth, round a boat off Beaumaris, and round a boat off Rh'anfa, twice, and thence to the startinc , point. The next race was for sailing boats unier twenty-two feet keel :—First boat, Five Pounds ; second boat, Two Pounds; third boat, Ono Pound. For this there came forward eight boats, viz : Emily, Beaumaris, William Jones ..1 Rover, Beaumaris, Henry Hughes ..2 Llewelyn, Holyhead, Robert Lewis 3 Vulcan, Penmaennoawr, Thomas Griffith 0 Industry, Beaumaris, John Williams 0 Menai, Bangor, Robert Williams.. 0 Fairy, Bangor, James Donaldson St. Tudno, Llandudno, Hugh Jones.... 0 The more exciting portion of the afternoon's sport com menced in the boat races, there being great rivalry just now in the building of boats and the assertion of prowess amongst the watermen of the Straits, especially in Bangor. The first was for four-oared boats, rowed and steered by watermen. (Under twenty-five feet keel.) Heats. First boat, Four Pounds ; second boat, Two Pounds ; third boat, One Pound. Course—From Garth Point to a boat moored off Rhianfa and back to the starting point. The only two entered were, the.. Olivia, Bangor, Charles. Freeman 1 1 Lady Louisa, Bangor, Thomas Jones 2 2 —These were good races, the men pulling most gallantly, and not being far apart on coming to the goal. Four oared Watermen's Boats. (Under 18 feet keel.) Heats. First boat, Three Pounds ; second boat, Two Pounds ; third boat, One Pound. Course same as No. 3. The boats entered were— _ _ _ Alicia, Beaumaris, William Stanley . , 2 1 1 Prince of Wales, Bangor, Jeremiah Griffith ! 2 d Elizabeth and Grace, Beaumaris, Thos. 0 wen 3 3 d Mary, Bangor, Solomon Hughes Margaret, Bangor, Tnomas Roberts These were the crack races of the day; and elicitecl , Tiarm expressions of admiration from the spectators. Four-oared Race Gigs. (Under 25 feet keel.) To be rowed and steered by Gentlemen Amateurs. Heats. Fret boat, Five Pounds; second boat, Two Pounds. Course same as No. 4. Only two crews were entered for these races, but they competed most strenuously, the superiority of the boat giving the first prize to the Olivia, rather than any deficiency of exertion or capability on the part of the losers. Olivia, Bangor, John Hughes • 1 1 Lady Louisa, Bangor, John S lei g h 2 2 Four-oared RX) Gigs. (Any length of keel.) To be rowed and steered by Gentlemen Amateurs only. Ton Pounds Course—From Gallows Point to Garth Point. There were no entries for this prize. A Punt Race for One Pound. (Pair of Sculls.) Round a boat moored off Garth Point and back. The Lizzy, Carnarvon, J. P. Evans Elizabeth & Grace, Beaumaris, T. Pritchard, 2 --Superior two-handed rowing was never seen to that of Thomas Pritchard, but his competitor had the advantage of a lighter boat. Seuller's Race for Ten Shillings. (Single Scull at the Stern.) Same course as No 6. This race elicited shouts of laughter from the shore, and came off very cleverly. There was no less i number than five boats, whose scullers exerted themselves to the utmost." The Committee awarded half a crown to each of the losers. A Juvenile Boat Rice for Boys under 16 years of age. Heats. Four little fellows, in two small boats, competed for this prize, but fouled in both cases, through a want of know ledge of the tides. Their endeavours to extricate themselves and steal a march upon their opponents wore most amusing. The Committee divided ten shillings between them. A Juvenile Boat Race (two oars), for Boys above 16 years of age. Iteats. First Boat, Ten Shillings; Second Boat, Five Shillings. Four stouter lads in boats of higher pretension rowed in these races a greater distance. The Olivia, Bangor, James Jones 1 1 Lady Louisa, Bangor, Peter Jones The amusements were to have terminated with what is called "A Duck Hunt," but the men engaged to perform did not make their appearance. The Regatta terminated without the slightest accident to any one, and proved most satisfactory to all concerned— though some croakers, who delight in spoiling, misrepresenting and checking every thing, were pleased to anticipate an entire failure, and with the excellence of the arrangements, the respectability of the company, the good conduct of the multi tude, the liberal collection for the Infirmary, amounting to £5 145., will, no doubt recommend it next year to the continued and increased support of the distinguished gentlemen who this year honoured it with their former patronage. The awards of the Cup and the prizes for the eighteen feet keel boats, will be announced, and a statement of the accounts will be published, on the earliest possible opportunity.— Abridged from the North Wales Chronicle.

THE SCAr —The first vresgion conveys of white, and ful to t however, the o t over, it will b( found t the mountains, ai the' one )g object which constitute the picture, 11 that care and minute perfection hiCh every critic will allow to Mr. Hunt. Under the dull stagnation of an English town atmosphere, are painted one can scarcely bring his imaginative faculties up 1,o• the point necessary to comprehend the wonderful, and apparently unearthly, glare which lights the sky and the purpling rocks, of what in an ordinary painting might be called the background, but which ,here shines out in the sharpest and brightest promi nence: But the picture was painted upon the very spot which it illustrates; and we may, at least, allow that Mr Hunt is a faithful interpreter between inani mate nature and her less experienced observers. It is true, some critics are not content to allow even this Much to pass; and many are found to affirm, on the authority of their own eyes, that not even over the Dead Sea does such an atmosphere glow. On this point we cannot venture any opinion whatever, and mustleave readers to balance the evidence for them • selves, and decide according to their judgments or pre dilections. One impression ofour own we must remark that, even under our own seldom varying skies may be seen such lights and glares as many an ordinary crbserver would be apt to pronounce extravagant and unnatural, if he could but be brought to think, like the rash critic in the old story, that what he looked on was the work of art and not of very Nature. Let any one look from a sea-strand on one of our clearest summer or autumn days, and observe, with an opened and unconventionalised eye, the glare of blue, and green, and white, in which nature paints her picture, and then honestly confess whether, if precisely such a combination could be reproduced on canvas, his first word would be one of praise for the artist. There fore, we are . not at all disposed to enter into any rash ti denunciaons of the hues of Mr. Hunt's picture, and are far more inclined to admire the wonderful exact- ness with which every object is painted. Some of them we can all judge of.

It is stated on page 9of the company's reply, that the directors cannot admit the correctness of the charge that the examination of the meters had been neglected by their officers, although my examination proved the meters to be seriously overcharged with water, and this by the company's officers, or by the consumers at the request of those officials. _ _ I have now before Tine the balance sheet of the gas company for the year ending Juna 30, 1856, and I find this important fact stated, "that the rental of the com pany for this year as compared with the last, has fallen off to the extent of £3,381," and this too, be it remem bered, with an increase of consumers ; for in the report these significant words occur—" The directors submit to the proprietors their report of the affairs of the financial year ending the 30th June last, and it is satisfactory to them that they are enabled to state that the business of the company has increased to some extent during ,the year." Now, it will be observed that in the year 1855 there was an increase upon the former year of £3,900, and this with a reduction of 6d per 1,000 on the first six months of the year. It is only fair. therefore, to conclude (things having gone on so well and smoothly) that the increase of the year 1856 ought not to be less than the former year. The gas consumers of Liverpool are, therefore, much in debted to that special committee for their great exertion in saving them at least 87,000; and I have not the least doubt in my mind that those consumers who have gained any information by that investigation will not in future allow their meters to be filled above the proper level. Indeed, I think, if some of the meters were now to be opened, they would form an amusing con trast with regard to the indications of the water-line of this time last year, and the only cause of a reduced rental, (and not the pressure of an income tax, the pressure the Liverpool gas consumers so justly complained of,)was to he found in their meters being charged with water ; for it is clear that they had less to complain of in 1854, when gas was 4s 63 per 1,000 cubic feet less than in 1855, when it was reduced to 43. But the gas consumers of Liverpool must not lose sight of this fact, that in this year (1855) the Liverpool United Gas Company also became a water company, and the consumers. were charged with water measured instead of gas. lam now glad to find that the company, in order to let things go on smoothly, have to some extent abandoned some of this trade ; and •I hope they will also see the necessity of :giving up the meter making monopoly, and allow free competition. Were it not for parties interested in their manufacture, this would have been done long since. I cannot but observe that it is not a little gratifying to me to see that in less than twelve months the Liverpool Gas Company should folly corroborate my report. FREDERICK ADOLPHUS TAUNTON.

The following members attended : Messrs. T. Littledale, Bold, Shand, Gregson, Mondel, Chaloner, Hubback, Rankin, Langsdale, Barber, Rounth waite, Robinson, and Eyre Evans. The minutes of the last, meeting were read and con firmed. The sub-committee of works recommended the appoint ment of Williams as assistant storekeeper at the Albert Docks, at a salary of 24s per week. A letter was read from the Trinity Board to the secre tary of the committee, approving of the contemplated change of the buoys, &c., in the Mersey. The marine su b- com mittee recommended that their adoption come into operation on the 6th of October next. A letter was read from Mr. W. Johnston, Secretary of the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Co., asking for permission to rent a portion of the George's Dock quay, or any other site in that locality, for the purpose of erecting a wharf or shed for the recep tion of goods. The harbour masters' sub-committee reported that there was no space, and the committee refused the application. The further consideration of Messrs. W.

It complained of being obliged to pay the outward dockage dues at Birken head, and again at Liverpool, when she loaded, and requested to be refunded what he considered an over charge. The matter was referred to the receiver of dock dues, who stated that Captain Johnston could not be surprised, as he was informed that he should have to pay the amount charged, under the circumstances. The Chairman said, that as the law uow stood, there was no remedy for the overcharge. When they got the rates of the docks assimilated, the grievance would be remedied. A memorial from the owners and agents of steamers frequenting the Salisbury Docks, complaining of the want of a crane on ono of the Salisbury Dock quays, was referred to the harbour master's committee. This concluded the public business. A NEW LIGHT IS TO BE ERECTED ON CAPE RACE, which will add much to the advantage conferred on the mariner by the contemplated light on the Bird Rocks.

The catalogue tells us—" The scene was painted at Oosdom , on the margin of th e sa lt-encrusted shallows of the Dead Sea. The mountains beyond are those of Edom.

It cannot be denied that, in the production of the "Scapegoat," much labour, much power, and even genius, are displayed, and that many of the adjuncts to the scene are painted as few men living could paint them. That the singular capacity for Minute and careful exEcution which brought our such features of the painting—as the salt-covered strand, and the rocky range across the sea should ever be wasted —must be a subject of regret to every admirer of art; but we think there are few who will not admit that, in this instance, the power we allude `o, as well as the yet higher attributes of th 3 artist's , nius, have been wasted in the production of a work any o moment which is in no sense true to is obi 199. " MORNING IN THE Wrivna CoOper, Et MRADONis' .A.—This is a beautifully executers painting, of a soft English scene, whose general fell at least, are familiar to most visitors. In the foreground upon a gently-rising knoll, a group of splendid cattle are shaking off the night-dews of the grass, and rising to enjoy the morning air, which is breathing softly in the gradnally.awakening► dawn. In the distance are seen, faintly through the haze, the white turrets of Windsor Castle. There is a peculiar softness suffusing the whole of this picture--the very grasses of which seem redolent of summer morning air. Although the landscape is one which painters are eternally delineating, yet the aspect under which it is shown, in this picture, prevents one from feeling that sense of monotony, which endless repetitions seldom fail to give. 200. OTHELLO—H. C. Selous.--The visitor had better try to think that he has never seen a painting of this subject before, or he may too hurriedly pass over a work which has many merits, The moment selected, is that fearful pause in the Fifth Act, after the last words of Desdemona have died away, Ocly the pallid face and breast of the victim are seen. Emilia kneels by the bed-side in an attitude of agony. Othello stands erect, as with an expression of forced and despairing calmness. His attitude is dignified and majestic, but somewhat too theatrie or statuesque: Indeed, the whole group has too mut the appearar Nevertheless, the picture is far se which strive to'represent the The artist has at least succeeded in giv- f the last act, as an most of th ame subject seen thiot )al figure, not unworthy, save for the leTect we have mentioned, of our conceptions of Shak apere's hero. Othello is attired here as in most paint ings, and invariably on the stage, in Oriental costume. Why should a naturalised citizen of the Venetian repub- lg us a princi lie, a state so jealous of her most trivial forms, and a generalissimo of the Venetian army - not wear the garb of Venice ? Many actors and painters, indeed, not only give Othello an Oriental dress, but the peculiar garb of the Osmanli Turk—an attire which has nothing to do whatever with Moorish costume, and which was worn by only the people against whom, in the opening of the play, he leads the military forces of Venice. Many of the accessories of this picture are very well painted. The bluish-grey dawn, seen through the half-opened door, is most effectively , represented. THE HARVEST IN AMERICA The returns from the wheat harvest of the United States are now complete, and it is settled that the crop is of most excellent quality, and if not the largest ever gathered since the settlement of the country is at least above the average, and will yield a large surplus beyond the supply of our domestic wants. With the certainty of such abundance, the probable reliance to be placed upon an active export demand is a subject of much importance, and deserving serious atten tion. Our imports of foreign goods and merchandise for the eight months of the current year are larger than for any similar period in our history, the total being upwards of 1.50,000,000 dole.; and although much of this increase has been in consequence of large exports of domestic produce to this date, yet if these exports are to cease with the ingathering of the present harvest in Europe, it might take a larger portion of the receipts of gold than we could conveniently spare to balance the account. Great Britain has always been the best customer for our surplus breadstuffs. To most other countries which take bread tuffs of us our shipments of flour have been comparatively uniform, whether the crop was large or small, but to British ports the shipments have varied with the quantity we have had to spare, although the total clearances for all foreign ports. West Indies are regular customers for our flour, as they pur - came quantity every year, and, after Great isritain, take the largest quantity in a series of years; but a large portion of our shipments of grain (with wheat and corn) .o to British ports. Thus, of 18,583,151 bushels of wheat chase about the eraging nearly half Brazil and the shipped to all ports from July 1, 1849, to June 30, 1855, 14,061,212 were sent to Great Britain ; and of 43,757,597 bushels of corn exported to all ports within the same period, 36,563,951 bushels had the same destination.
