The rioted observes, in regard to the agricultural quo
thin, that it is quite impossible that all the labourers
now in the union should obtain their demands, even *sere
they ever an justifiable, It would, in time end, be found a
misfortune where they tempted to stay at home by untie
temporary success, and so crowd and ovenample
The best thing that can happen, then, is that souls should
find better homes elsewhere, an that the remainder may
find themselves better appreciated and elevated by stay iag

Them ha. been much leas disposition evinced to operate,
and whilst in London the tendency of prices has been in
favour of buyers, in many of the provincial markets. •
decline of from one to two shillings per qr. has taken
place. Whatever limy be the range of values between
now and harvest, the expectation generally prevails. that
after that event. relapse will occur. With reference to
the state .if prices during the immediate future. there is
still a great diversity of manion. The probability of a
further upward movement has been rendered less defined
lq the favourable change in the weather. At the same
time any material relapse is not anticipated. The
quantity of wheat now on peerage te the United
inajloii is estimated at about one million three hundred
and fifty thousand quarters, again,t one million three
hundre.l and live thousand quarters at this time last year.

THE GULF STREAK FICTION.

IThe surveys of the Challenger have yielded, as we
expeeted, important results. For one thing. the Great
Gulf Stream !lotion la settled—as • Bitten—just as the
Orton 011“ is settled. It will be in some persons'
memory that Napoleon the Great declared that to
revenge England he would cut a 011110 tbtollah the
Isthmus of PILDILIna, and by thns cutting off our "hot.
water apparatus," reduce no to the undition of Nova
&cable or Iceland. A more magnlticlent or fiendish
piece of national hatred could not he ooncreived. It wan
worthy of Milton's Satan "in all hie glory. But,
happily, the Almighty has placed b•yond the reach of
man each terrible revenges. Dr. C.rt enter, some time
ego, had from scientific data thought cut the feet that
there most be • circulation of warm and ocli water,
jot as there is iu the body • oiroolation of fresh aud
exhausted blood in the body. In the tropics, under
many fathoms of warm water there la • current of cold ;
In the frigid Zone. under the toe and cold, thole is a
current of warm water; end by continual exchanges,
flux and till is of water of these terrperstures, the
neeessary beat of the whole le kept up. That we benefit
by the Gulf Strt am, Is no doubt true to a certain extant;
but the true explenatiou of our milder or sub-acetic
temperature in almost an erotic latitude, is owing to
tuts Interesting fact, upon which Dr. Gupta*, gave lb
lecture at the Royal lestitutfon.
