OF PEACE.

The Tinus Berlin corresplndent says England he.
declined to join in the an4ro-ltalian League for the
restoration of peace, which had been proposed by Count
Von Bruit. The league we. intended to prot.ct both
Prince and Germany from any losa of territory; bat,
in ease of the defeat of Prusda, it wonli no have pre-
vented the dissolution of the North German Confedera-
tion.

ANECDOTE OF THE (MOWN PRINCE.
Dr. Russell, writing to the ;rinses on the 7th Instant,
front Rooks lea Forets. says :—" I have been the
accidental and unseen witness of • little acetic jest now
which is worth recording. A country cart was rumbling
down the street with two wounded officers—young men
—on their way to the station. An ofii,or on foot
beckoned to the driver to stop, and went up to the
cart, the occupant, of which tri-d to salute him, but he
made a ge-ture, and, leaning over, entered into oonver-
nation with them for ten minutes, evidently asking after
their wounds. On partin,r he shook each by the hand '
and continued his way up the street, accompanied by
two other offioers.• He halted at toy quarters and
inquired, if there were any wounded inside—they had
been removed, snme to their last resting•platie—then
went on. and mot ting a cart full of wounded toldiers,
talked to thin each in turn, and so went on vis.ting the
hospitals and the wounded in the moat unostentatione
manner. It was the Crown Prinoe. No wonder his
men are fond of him. Many did not know him till he
had passed on. He cola how the soldiers, one and all,
seem to rejoice in their wounds, and make light of
them rot the sake of the cause, and there was an honest
exultation in his tone at the honour of oommandign
such Itro.1"."

have these entertainments risen in publio esteein a
large company assembled. The tent was nearly filled.
and there was a very numerous attendance in the pro-

Department lotion i to soldiers who die in the war ‘. iI I
be returned to th writ. rs, not by the ordinary postmen.

CARE OF THE FRENCH WOUNDED.

The Queen of Prussia is personally devoting special
care to the French wounded. She bu caused shirts and
other small articles to be distributed amoog the French
officers. Refreshments, cigars, Arc., ire distributed

Alarktts.

The interruptions to the progress of harvest opera.
tions have been slight since our previous notice. A
considerable breadth has already been safely bonged
in the bust order, the yield is confirming our
anticipations that the harvest of 1870 will be over an
average. .

The continental grain markets continue to be in.
theneed by the war. The course of price. has been
upward since the ootnuiencetuent of hostilities ; and
this fact, in comli ction with the high rate of fri ight,
has considerably operated a,,ainst dealing., to any eyelet
on English account. From America we loam that the
value of breadiauffa hot tended downwanls. By tele-
gram receivtd from New York on Fealty morning
extra State dour is quoted there at 6 dela. 40c. to
6 duls. 600, per barrel, and old mixed corn at 1 dots. 2c.
per bushel.
With • few exceptions the country markets have only
been moderately somiisti with wheat, and at many of
them the samples offering have been new, and generally
in good condition. A quiet tone has prevailed in
almost every place, and in many a reduction of Is. per
qr. has been accepted on • limited business done. Flour
has also wet with • corresponding reduction. Barley
has shown signs of giriDg way in several of the markets;
and all other artic:es of the trade coula be bought on
lower terms than heretofore. .

The influence of the intelbgenee from the seat of war
has had the effect of rev,rsing the upward t,ndency of
the corn illicit) in Mark-lane.

Mr. Board sang his song with his usual power and
effect. The glees rendered by Messrs. Board, Pretty.
Rogers, and Barnes, were very nicely sung and very
tf,ctive, and the part songs were sweet and pleasing.
Ibe elfsct of the latter was iminewbet spoiled to our
ear by the running commentary of some would-be
musical critics, who, stationed just outside the tent, by
their loud-spoken remarks, showed that whatever they
might have learnt of music, they had not acquired the
agreeable knowledge of how to behave themselves, and,
however interesting to themselves their experiences on
the banjo may have been, perhaps they may consider
another time that those assemleed might prefer listening
to the singing. Even our talkative friends were com.
pelleet to listen with delight to Herr Van liedtleghem's
variations of " Home, tweet home" Hie performance
was very charming in teed, and his tones delightfully
pure, particularly in the long notes. He OM much and
