mediate tendency is also less favoural:/e. Eoglisk

The hupply of money in the discount market 01111•
tinues large. Good bills were taken yesterday at 34
to 31 per cent. At the Bank of England the appli-
mitions were very moderate.

About 67,0001% of various sorts of gold ww, sent
into tho Bank yesterday. The Magdalena, from
Brazil, has brought 157,1661. in gold, awl 7,226 L. in
silver. This supply, and the 330,500/. in gold
by the Shannon have yet to be dealt with. The
purchases by the Bank will probably be large this
week.

The amount of specie engaged for the Ceylon,
which will leave Southampton to-morrow, is only
53,909/., all on private account, of which 16,849/.
is gold, and the rest silver. The particulars

former at 15s. 01d. per ounce, and the latter at
4a. 11d., showing no change.
The latest quotation of exchange at New York
appear to be 1074 to
Owing to purchases on French account the wheat
market yesterday was brisk, at an advance of Is. to
2s. per quarter over last Monday's prices. It is
satisfactory, however, to remark that the principal
French agricultural journals now speak of the
result of the harvest in that country as more
abundant than was at first believed.

The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was firm,
with sales to the extent of 15,000 bales.
It having been stated that the Great Eastern has
been again chartered by government for the con-
veyance of troops to Quebec, we are authorised to
state that the report is incorrect. The ship will
sail from Liverpool for New York direct on Tues-
day, the 10th lust., as announced.
The Brighton Railway tragic return shows this
week an increase of 2,528/., and the South Easter%
a decrease of 2,1501.
The mercantile letters by the last mail from
Mexico describe atfairsaa in a mostdeepondiugstate.
The government, pressed on all sides for money,
were compelled to strain every nerve to moot the
expenses of the day, while all available resources
go towards paying the troops, who have again to
take the field, on one side against the reactionists
under Marques, and on the other side probably
against Viduurri. Some mouths since, it appears,
Jecker, the banker, caused a demand to be made
for about 15 to 20 million francs, for money ad-
vanced at about 80 per mut. interest to Mintuion
on bonds at the time when the latter was in poi-
residua of the capital. Jecker who was born at
ALiam, claims the riiiht of a French subject, and
M. de Saliguy, the breach minister is said to have
taken these claims under his protection. France
herself has, iu pecuniary matters, little or nothing
to settle with Mexico.

The first arrival of foreign hops of the new
growth, being three bales of the choicest quality,
took place on Saturday. They were consigned to
Messrs. Woolloton and Son, of the Bornigh, and
were sold by them to an eminent brewer at 7/. per
cwt., duty paid. The foreign crop this season is
one of the best and most abundant ever known,
and will, it is considered, be largely imported into
this country, since the differential duty to the Ist
January next is only Os. per cwt. more than ou
British hops, and only is per cwt. alter January,
1862.

_
The wreck of another Baltic steamer was an-
nounced yesterday—namely, the Leonidas, on her
voyage from Croustadt with a cargo of hemp and
yarn.
The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 10th
October :or the supply of 3,800 tierces and 3,000
barrels of navy pork.
A correspondent interested in the tallow market
sends the following :

During the past week this market has been comparatively
steady, the fluctuations having been unimportant. t ha Friday
last prime were quoted 6.1. per cwt. lower than on the
25th ; but this appears to have been only 11 small reaction
from the recent rapid 11411":111,e. On Saturday, in come.
queueu of a delivery of 1,125 casks on the precediug day,
prima moue improved, end the trifling fall was fully re-
covered, closing very firmly with a wareity of sellers. The
delivei its for consumption continue to be unpreceilentedly
large, semi in no former year has se large a quantity been
delivered in the mouth of August as that in the mouth
which ended on Saturday ; the quantity sent out for coo-
gumption lust week being 5,301 maks against only 2,077 in
the correepooding week last 'ear, and in the mouth about
15,0111./ casks have been delivered, against only 14,000 in
August, 1660. Pun:hares in this market for all deliveries
continue daily to be made to a very large esteut, and the
whole of the stock will very shortly, if the present demand
continue, be entirely einurbed by present and future en-
gageineute. In additiou to these facto there in every mum
to believe that au unusually huge bear account is open fur
October to December. which wid have the effect of very
materially enhancing prices, whenever the spectihators,
either from a conviction of its hugdosoneo,, or from peas-
ady, begin to buy it in.
Accounts from St. Petersburg state that only a moderate
below was doing there. It is again cimorted that the
Damians have obtained aseistam.e, acid that a cert.du guru- ,
tity will be kept over. New tallow, it appears, will be
scarce all through the year, and proportionately high prices
may be expected. especially in ih.tober to Demmber, '
within which period the hear account must be closed. Town
tallow was 9d. higher cm Friday. The produce is somewhat
better than that of last year, but it is still below an average.
The shipments at St. Petemberg to all places are only
15,238 casks, against 014,906 last year.
With regent to the cotton supply, as *fleeting
India, the monthly circular imued yesterday by
Messrs. Trueman and &Aso° Ilan the following :
There Is oo improvement in the position of the manufac-
turing interest. The *omens. from India continue very
dull, and the expert demand is generally inactive. Stocks
of goods are accumulating, and the constant rise in the
value of the raw material places the manufacturer week
after week, in a worse position. ruder these cirenins.tannes
" short time " is being very generally resorted to, and is
likely mom to become universal. The sales of cotton in
Liverpool during the past four weeks have amounted to
319.000 bales, of which the trade have taken 167,000, ex-
porters 57,000, and speculators 95,C00, and an advance of
d. to Ad. oo the current qualities of American, and id. to
id. per lb. on Fast India has been currently obtained. The
stock of American cotton has decreased 150.030, and that
of all dcscriptious 133,000 bales daring the month ; and

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

Them ham been splendid weather (luring the past
week. The Ain shone brilliaatiy, and the temper.,ture Les
ranged very high, with a good brisk wind ocrasionaily pre-
vailing. Nosiest work has been carried on most come-
tically, a great clearance having been effected in all tae
early countie'. and much progress made iu the later die-
trick. It scarcely ever happens that so much work pia
completed in one week as hes just been the coo with all
corn going up in the finest moditioo, with the quslity mo-
rally of a most superior description. This implies not only
to one a ticle, but to ell. oho only draw neck is the yield,
which unfortunately nowt be considered under un average
of wheat as to the acreable produce, indepeadeut of a abort
breadth of band nutter such cultivation. Late on, more
accurate infornuitioa may be obtained, for the tai mei a have
been too busy with their harvesting to pay much attention
to threshing. With soothe week of such weather the
greatest portion of the United Kingdom will hero boa
secured, ..nd up to thin point the country may be considered
is a safe position. The Maui of gold for ise,eals to the
United states will, for the present, be stopped, and we me
altad to let Free have a run either iu New York, ie
Liverpool or Loudon, and to take as many cargoes as
poeghle now on passage to ports of call. Boma thin, oar
fame, s will be delighted to allow the French t rumba.*
their find wheat to improve the bread of Paris, er fe
ersure u mime and soarvelir ever surpassed quality for used.
: They over could visit England for a better purpose, gir
b., more welcome to our agriculturists in every county et He
land. In Cornwall the yield is reported under Ile avenge
although there are some heavy crops, up to five and five and
aludf quarters per acre, whilst ethers are not more than
half that quantity. Dario is also very varions, with some
heavy and fine *Ample*, others will be light and thin ; many
con .plaints have latterly been made of their being light. The
weather in the west is reported to be delightful, and i• •
few clay* more all will be secured. Am these advice woe
given on Wednesday, it is fair to infer that the whole ismer
safe. in Devonshire the harvest is mainly secured, with
the quality of the wheat as fine as possible, but the 'kit
below an average. We have scarcely, front any quarter, •
report of unfavourable weather; and in Suffolk nothing hat
a little corn on the heavy lands remains abroad. The whilst

weighing up to 6611ba. per bushel. Barley, beans, and peas,
promise to he equally fine with wheat, and as far as the
neighbourhood of Woodbridge is concerned, the ce i cal growth
of ls6l will rank a. the '• Laden" year for quality, but sot
for yield.
From Lincolnshire, on Friday, the accounts were
the same favourable character, stating that the a eathcr oon-
tinues remarkably tine, with, however, tremendous winds,
which do damage to ripe and standing corn. The greatest
part of the wheat is now secured, and a °amide-ibis yule-
tity of barley is also up. It is understood that the pied el
wheat there is not, up to the estimate.
The want of rain has certainly been felt by the root crops.
The mangobls in some districts are becoming v, speckle
on the leer. and turnips want moisture to he them.
Potatoes are, octaisionallv reported wpme in rite ities,
and iu Scotland they Me asid to be greatly diseased, whilst
north of the Tweed the wheat is cutting up a very thin crop
