LORD PALMERSTON IN NOTTINGHAM.

NOTTINGHAM, THOISDAT.
The Premier arrived here last night from

Ridding., Derbyshire, and received the Mayor, Town Clerk,
and several members of the Corporation, at the George the
Fourth Hotel. This morning Lord and Lady Palmerston,
accompanied by the Mayor, visited the extensive lace
machine works of Messrs. Hartshorn and Oldknow, and
were highly pleased with the intricate machinery for making
curtains, far which that establishment is so justly celebrated.
From thence they proceeded to the lace warehouse of Messrs.
Dunnicliffe and Smith, Stoney-street, and where her ladyship
made several purchases, amongst which were a dozen of
pile falls. They also inspected the bonnet-front machinery'
and expressed themselves highly pleased with the rapidity
with which this work is carried on. Upon leaving the ware-
house, the people outside cheered his lordship most voci-
ferously, and the noble pair then drove to the Midland Rail-
way station, and left for her ladyship's estate in Northamp-
tonshire. Lord and Lady Palmerston will return to town
to-morrow evening.

The particulars of our importations of foreign
wheat and flour from the beginning of the year to the end
of July afford proof that up to the period of the commence-
ment of the harvest the supplies were on an ample sails.
The total of wheat landed at the various ports of the United
Kingdom during the seven months was 4,513,821 qrs.,
showing an excess of about 31 per cent. over the extraor-
dinary importations of the corresponding period of last year,
and of more than 137 per cent. over those of the same
months of 1800. Since the end of July the arrivals from
America have continued to be of remarkable 'magnitude,
and it may, therefore, be assumed that if the anticipations
of deficiency in the home crop this year should be realised,
we shall be found, to • fair extent, prepared. The varia-
tions in the sources of supply this year have thus far not
been great, the United States, Germany, and Russia having
each contributed very nearly the wane per centage as from
January to July, 1861. The chief alteration is in the
quantity from Egypt, which eoutinues steadily to increase.
