The absence of the Great Western is unfortunate for the commercial
classes. the may yet arrive in time to enable the merchants to reply
to their letters: but the steamer leadoff Belton on the let proximo,
will not be able to talc out the effect of Me adders the Western will I
bring upon our market., even an the event of her arriving before the
foreign mail chases. The Great Western is anxiously looked for by
those who have relatives and friends OH board, and by all thrice en.
gaged is commercial pursuits. She has undoubtedly experienced one
or more of the tremendous gales which have swept the whole length
and breadth of the Atlantic within the past three weeks, and it is pro-
bable has suffered more or km damage, but we trust not to any
alarming extent. We hourly look for her arrival but we must admit,
not without considerable alarm.

the public mind was becoming again peculiarly to any m-
prevision in that way, crewed at once an advance of a quarter of a
cent., which was freely pail on the vale that day, amounting to about
3,000 bales, and since then, prices have daily strengthened under the
active speculative operations, induced by the receipt of auounts,
oordmiing the worst amirchen.ion. previously entertained by
well-informed partite here, of the destruction of a consider-
able portion of the crop by the army worm, and the Min worm ;
so that priors have been driven up, one-half to five-elghths
of a cent. since the arriml of the packet, to wlich our quotations
conform. The daily transactions sines lath instant, base averaged
2,500 bales, and the amomt on Pale has become much reduced, with
bat a email portion of the stock in the city in first bands. Only a erne
few small parcels of the new crop have as yet reached our market, and
are held at fancy prices. Some indication of the backwanlneas of the
season is exhibited in the fact, that ou the 19th instant, the total
receipts of the new crop at New Orleans only amounted to 2,336
hales, against 35,216 bales last season. 'the receipts at this
port shoe the let instant have heen 9,000 bales ; exports for

Bass insorres.—New Toon, Seer. 2G.—There has been a good de.
mend for Flour all the week, and prices very firm. About 30,000 bbls.
mid for exportation, commonly at 5 dollars for Genesee ; and some
small sales made at 4 tole. 871 e. to 4 doll. 931 c. Yesterday, Genesee
or 04Weg0 could not be had under 5 dole., and Miettigan brought 4
dole. 9.3ie. to 5 dole. for prime. There was considerable dale in
Georgetown end Richmond during the week, and the market closed
at 4 doll. 871 e. to 5 dots. Brandywine, 4 dole. 931 c. There
have been some very large sales of Wheat during the week,
and at advanced peters. Prime Western brought 103 c. to 106 c.,
and 106 e. to line. %asked forwhite Geneses, superiorandlleays-., which
is a warm article in the musket just now. Good Illinois Wheat sold
at one dollar. There were some large toles of Corn of all descriptions
at 73e. to 76c. for good Western mixed, and 75e. for yellow Jersey
and Northern. There was a good demand for Rye, at 78e. to 79e.,
but as holders asked 80e. there was very little sold. Oats have gone
up heave. Canal closet at 39e., and river, 36e. to 37e. Barley is held
at 60e., but no purchasers. Me, to 58e. is offered for heavy.
All accounts relative to Corn and Grain are most satis-
factory. No further the of any moment had occurred in
the markets. The Great Western steamer did not reach
New York until the 30th, haring left this on the 12th. The
effect of her news is, therefore, not known. The latest New
York, Courier dud Enquirer says :
In commercial matters there is a good deal of animation. Our
Wheat crop, this year, and that of Indian Corn, are very 1 irge, and
the tanners we hurrying them to market to avail of present high
prices. The quotations under the usual head will show what the
ruling rates we with us—and U the next advices from Europe show
rising prices there, ours will take another jomp.
The Cotton crop it is now the conceded opinion, will be quite short.
Sound judges do not carry their estimate beyond 1,800,000, and their
estimate le founded on the backwardness of the crop—tusparaileled
Owe 1838—the known ravages of the army worm—and the small re-
ceipts of new Cotton at New Orleans up to the 19th inst. The whole
quantity received up t that date was 2,380 bales, whsch to less than
half the quanthr received in the preceding two years up to let Sept.
In 1840 the receipt of the new crop at New Orleans up to 19th Sept.
was 11,650 balm—and the crop of that year only turned out 1,035,000
bales.
From Canada our Corn and Flour news is most satisfactory also.
On the 28th, Flour was selling freely, and large preparations making
for export, but there was no great advance in prices, and but little
excitement in the market—The following were the rates at Montreal
on the 29th : Flour, per barrel of 1961 b, Canada, fine, 26.. 9d. to 27.. 3d.;
superfine, Us. 6d. ; fine sour, 23e.; Oatmeal, per 2211 b., 25e.
Grain, Wheat, U. C. best, 601 b., 6s. ; middling. ss. Gd.— Oats,
ls. 9d. to Is. 10d.

By the Swedish brig La Plata, which has touched
at Cowes for orders, advices are in town from Rio
Janeiro to the 24th of August. The money market
was in an improving state. Discounts were rea-
dily obtained. The rate of exchange on Lon-
don remained at 27d. until the 17th, when bills
were done at 270. Daily transactions had subse-
quently occurred at 270. to id., until the 23rd, when
exchange rose to 271 d. The amount of business
done altogether in bills, within the period cited, was
estimated at 86,0001.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(Bare Mr. serialist Adams and a Bench at Magistrates.)
Mary Downing was indicted for stealing a gown-skirt,
value IL, the property of Sarah Love. It appeared from the
evidenoethat the pe lodged in the same house as the
pnweculrix, and ept a fruit stall. She came into Mrs.
Love's loom early one morning and took the gown-skirt off
the chide, and then left the room. She returned about the
middle d the day, and denied the robbery when accused of
it. Sim was then given into custody. The prisoner, in her
defence, declared that she did not know any mere of the
skirt than a baby that never was in the world, and that she
only went into the room for the purpose of getting some
Inciters, but that not succeeding in getting them, she went
up stairs again and lit her fire, and that she " was as inno-
cent all -y one in court who was never born." She was
found Gritty, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment
in the House of Correction, at Westminster.
ROIRDZILY THROUGH ill9TßElM—Edteard Reynolds,
respectably dressed young man, was indicted for stealing two
jackets and • waistcoat, value 21., the property of John
Ventnm. It appeared that the prosecutor was a sailor, and
occupied lodgings to which the prisoner had access. On the
morning Om the robbery was committed the prosecutor
went to lus nom for the purpose of changing his dress, and
on looks for the articles in question, he missed them ; and
suspicion failing on the prisoner, he was given into custody.
The primmer, in his defence, admitted having taken the
pronertg, but denied any felonious intention, as be said it
was Mr iliudion to return them in a day or two, as he was
in greakrlisteere at the time he took them. A witness was
. called, Min gessaiss r tomerffieure tbereeter, and lava eat
the court that until lately he had held the situation of chief-
mate in a West Indiaman. He was found Guiky, and sen-
tenced to three months' imprisonment. Shortly after his
removal his wife, a young woman of highly respectable ap-
pearance, applied for and obtained an order to see him. She
appeared to be in great distress.

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN GREAT WILD-STREET, LIN-
COLN, INN-FIELDS.—DESTRUCTION OP rile RED LION
TAVERN AND CONCERT-ROOMlL—Between four and five
o'clock this morning a fire of a most destructive character,
nearly attended with fatal results to several p mons, was
discovered by Police-constable F 36, upon the premises
beionging to Mr. Piggott, a licensed victualler, situate
iu Gr, at Wild-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, and known as the
Red Lion Tavern andCoucert-rooms. The outbreak occurred
ir, the ground floor, from what cause cannot at present be
aseertaiaed ; and owing to the large quantity of spirits in the
building the flames progressed with surprising rapidity, so
that before the inmates could bo amused from their slum-
bers, the destructive element had travelled to ( very floor in
the premises. In order to effect a retreat from the burning
house the residents were obliged to resort to numerous expe-
dients. However, by creeping through the trap-door they
were enabled to pass along the roof and descend through the
Rose Tavern adjoining. The engines of the pariah. London-
bridge, the County, and West of England Companies,
were remarkably quick in arrising, and the New
River mains affording an abundant supply of water,
the engines were set to work. Before, however,
that could be accomplished th• spacious building was
Mistpletel.7 enetie:-.2 •••!th flame, an t!!!' !4."! was rushing
out of the back windows with such fury as to threaten the
houses in Brewer's-court with destruction. The scene that
presented itself in the latter quarter was truly distressing,
the pace people who tenanted the different houses were to
be se ...n throwing their household furniture out of the window
on to the ground, in order that it might escape the file. The
firemen, under the direction of their superior officers. ex-
erted themselves in a moot praiseworthy manner, so that by
S o'clock, oralittle after, they succeeded in getting the flames
entirely extinguished. By that period, the whole of Mr.
Pigg At's stock in trade was totally de.trnyed, his furniture
and wearing apparel Consumed—the inmates not having suf-
ficient time to save their clothes. Three escapes of the
Royal Society fee the Protection of Life from Fire were at
the scene soon after the outbreak, hut the inmates had by
that time left the premises. The total loss must be consi-
derable; and Mr. Piggott was only insured for 6001., on the
stock and furniture. There was, however, an insurance of
7001. on the building, but the amounts, we understand, will
not rover the loss.

THE. Two ARCHRISHOPR.—The Archbishop of Dublin
pr3testa against the Form of Prayer prepared by the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, and agreed upon by Her Majesty in
Council; as well as to that settled by the Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland, humbly imploring the Almighty God to avert
from these countries the impending calamity of famine. The
objections are of a two-fold nature—legal and spiritual. Dr.
Whats ly denies the constitutional right to issue such a com-
mend ; and as he considers the visitation a direct judgment
from Cod, he looks upon any attempt at pmpitiatinr the

the Archbishop.
