'HE HARVEST AND THE CORN
MARKETS.

Another week's five weather has done wonders
for the country-. The process of ripening has gone
on at a rapid rate, and much grain now stands
in shocks in the fields, with every prospect of its
being gathered in moderate condition. IV*
haste, however, than was desirable has already
been evinced in bringing the new wheat to
market, the condition being mostly too bad for
milling purposes, with weights varying from
501bs, and less per bushel to 631bs ; but this last
weight
.is rare. As a whole, the crop seems
likely to tarn gut much better than was expected,
and this is the case Itith other, arain; but no
improvement can be reported as toth6 statp. of
potatoes, either in this country or abroad. it is
well that foreign imports of wheat have lately
been liberal, as the stock of old English is much
below the required quantity for mixing ; and as
both the yield, as well as the quality, is
likely to be under an average, there must be a
continuous demand. Nevertheless, should the
new produce be forced on the markets, a tempo-
rary depression is very probable. Already the
beneficial change and the appearance of new
samples have produced a lower range of prices
throughout the country, say about 3s. to 4s. per
quarter on the average, with difficult sales; and
whether the decline shall be stopped or decreased,
will be determined by the -weather. Similar
effectS have been prodUced throughout France%
Belgium. Holland, and the Baltic. But the more
distant markets, hate not yet been influenced—,-,
the admission of corn duty-free into French ports
still showing its effects in Odessa, on the Danube,
and in some ether localities ;. but a: reaction in
these places must be expected. Large ttniwts,
are on their way from the United States ; but a
heavy fall in this country would speedily check
exports thence, as prices there have kept a mode-
rate range, though the last advices note a good
advance.

The cholera has appeared at Barcelona.
According to a Berlin letter, the Prince Regent
intends conferring on Queen Victoria the nominal
command of the new second regiment of Dragoons
of the Guard, and also the order of the Black-,
Eagle.
