In the first half of 1846 the trade of Odessa snrpasaed that
ar any . preceding year; but, nevertheless, the above figures
am show that it has more than doubled in the fint six months
tithe current year. The cause is well known ; it we. the
Allure of the crop/ in the greater part of Europe ; and, in
eGCNquance, 1,463,587 chetwerta of corn were shipped from
Oesoa in the first six months of the present year. Imme-
diately on the opening of our navigation (by the breaking up
r the ic, 1, in Iveimuu, and March, prices rose to a height
tithetta unknown, the autumn supplies in the west of
'°7oPe beiol; consumed, sod the inquiries for corn being
racial. Winte." wheat of the first quality fetched 11 roubles
444 ks ; cad 175 roe 45 rovbles 71 kopeck. shyer the

chetwert. However, the markets in France, England, Bel-
gium, and the European ports, having been supplied
from Odeon, and (tom the other ports on the Black
Sea, and also front North America, the prices above-
mentioned, as was to be expected, began to fall; the
soma expectation than wiring of a favourable harvest ma-
terially assisted in lowering prices, and in eoasequenee, at
the end of June, the best winter wheat only fetched 7 rouble
14 kopecks, and rye only 4 roubles silver the chetwen.
With these low prices the corn trade here is still profitable,
both to the producer and the merchant. The whole value
of the above-mentioned quantity of corn exported in the first

six months of this yeti's abOut 14,200,5. - silver roubles
(nearly 611 millions paper roubles) ; the value of the wheat
exported is about 12,910,304 silver roubles (at an average
price of 10 roubles 4 kopecks silver the chetwert) ; that of
the rye is about 956,463 roubles silver (at an average pries
of 6 roubles 31 kopecks silver the chetwert). The question
now is how the second half of the year will stand a compa-
rison with the unexampled progress of the first. The ex-
ports from Odessa are generally muck more impertant in the
sosesel that in the • first half of the year. Will such
be the coo this year, when nearly a million and a half
shetwerts of corn have already been exported to foreign
countries From Odessa, when prices have fallen and the
EZ:of the harvest abroad are most favourable ?
ta can be foretold with certainty; but there are
grounds for believing that, with respect to the exports, the
mood half of the year will exhibit at least no falling of
from those of the first. For, first of all, however plentiful the
harvests in west Europe may turn out, they will hardly
ruffle, to cover the scanty of last year, when it is considered
that the scarcity not only extended to the quantity required
for the support of the population, but even to that required
for seed, and that neither England, France, Belgium, nor
Holland produce a sufficiency for their own wants. Further-
more, the reductions in the English corn tariff, and the opening
of almost all the western European ports for the free admission
of grain, some of them to the Ist of Jan., and others until the
spring of 1848, will no doubt cause speculators to lay in sup-
' plies of corn for the next year, during the coming autumn,
should no immediate necessity even be shown. With re-
spent to prices they certainly will not rise, but they can
' hardly experience any further fall of importance ; end the
' reductions in the English corn tariff and the temporary free
admission of grain into almost all the western European
ports, notwithstanding the distance of the port on the Black
Sea, will keep alive the demand for Russian corn for a future
supply. In the other branches of trade the first half of 1847
also exhibits an increase as compered with that of 1846. The
exports of linseed and tallow have been very great this year,
notwithstanding low prices. We must take this opportunity
of remarking that the wool producers in the governments of
Yrkatherinoslav, Kieiv, Podolieau, and partly even in Cher-
son, have for some time found it more advanta-
pous to send their wool to the island annual
markets instead of to Odessa; a circumstance which
should not be lost si,ght of by the merchants of Odessa. The
value of the foreign imports is also greatly above that of the
year 1846; but in the above-mentioned figures there is in-
cluded bullion to the value of 2,166,328 rouble:, silver, which
has been imported into Odessa. The value of the goods sent
from Odessa inland has rather fallen as compared with the
first half of 1846. In this respect Odessa and the whole
southern portion of the empire is waiting for the construc-
tion of roads and railroads to Odessa, as one of the most im-
portant of the Russian, and indeed of the European, ports.
Shipping during the present year was, of course, very much
in demand, and in general freights have been very high.

DEATH OF VISCOUNT KENMURE.—The Right Hon.
Adam Gordon Viscount Kenmore and Lord of Lochinvar,
baronet of Scotland and Nova Scotia, died at Kenmure
Castle, stewartry of Kirkcudbright, on the morning of the
Ist inst. His lordship was born Jan. 9, 1792, and married,
in 1843, Mary Anne, the daughter of the late James Wildey,
Esq. Having died without issue, his lordship is succeeded
in the family estates by his sister the Hon. Louisa, relict of
Charles Bellamy, Esq., H.E.1.C.5., who now, inconsequence
of the death of her brother, in terms of the entail, assumes
the name and arms of Gordon of Kenmure and Lochinvar.
Whether the title, in consequence of the death of the late
viscount, becomes extinct or not, is, we believe, altogether
untle.tartnined.

The deceased had only enjoyed the family honours since
1837, when he succeeded his cousin, Sir Nigel Greeley.
DEATH OP LADY JANE PEEL.—COVENTRY, 7110 -

DAL—This Mop feeling of regret was very
generally felt th this city on it being announced
that this late lady expired yesterday, at
Bagginton Hall, four miles distant from this place. It
appears that a few days ago her ladyship, accompanied
by several of her family, attended at the grand archery
iat Meriden, when, it s said, ahe caught a severe
sold, which Increased with fearful rapidity, and resisted
every possible effort within the reach of medical skill,
and under which she sank yesterday at five o'clock.
Her ladyship has left behind her a family of 16 children, 10
of whom are daughters. Her ladyship was universally
esteemed for her benevolence, and her loss will be deeply
felt by the poor of the neighbourhood in which she resided.
Intelligence of the sad event was immediately sent to Sir
Robert Peel, who, its expected, will arrive here from the
north to-day. He would, no doubt, have been here before,
but the shortness and rapidity of her ladyship's illness pre-
vented the possibility of an earlier communication.
