We have omitted three States, in which wheat is not
grown to any extent. There is no doubt whatever that
the increase in the culture of wheat has been far greater
during the last five yeats than it has been in the previous
ten years, because the inducements to cultivate it have
been stronger, owing to the high prices at which it has
ruled. The Russian war, by which the supplies from
Russia were cut off, and the failure of the crops in France
last year, created a large demand, and kept up prices far
above the average. The last advises from Europe would
lead to the conclusion that in France and Spain the wheat
crop does not promise well ; and we find orders for flour
and wheat from France in the New York market, which
have been brought out by the last steamer. But then, the
high prices which wheat commanded in all the European
markets last year, have stimulated the cultivation of it in
all wheat-growing countries, and there seems to be little
doubt that the breadth of land sown in all those countries
bordering on the Mediterranean, is vastly greater the
present than the previous year, and should the yield be
good, of Whicl4 hoWever, we have no definite information
as yet, there can be no doubt that. the quantity
exported from these countries the coming season will be
large. In Russia, owing to the Unsettled state of the
country consequent upon the war, it is cleat that agricul-
ture has been neglected to a great extent, as is clearly
demonstrated by the fact that there was no Wheat of
consequence to be hai in any of the Black Sea or Baltic
ports of that country at the close of the war, and as large
numbers of the agricultural population were employed in
the armies of the empire, it is doubtful that the amount
of Wheat exported from that country the corning season
will be even moderate, The last advices we had from St.
Petersburg speak favourably of the crops, however.
After the ekperience of last year, no faith whatever can
be placed on accounts of the result of the harvest in
France, and it is only by the acts of the Government that
the result can be known. Last year it was publicly
announced that the Government of that country would
not interfere in the purchase of breadstuffs, and yet we
tbund its agents in this country purchasing largely during
the whole of last fall and winter; and, though this was
denied at the time, the large quantities of flour sold by
the French Government last April and May at auction
settled the truth in the case beyond a doubt. In England
and Ireland the crops looked well, at the last advices, and
if the weather, the great terror of the British agriculturist,
should prove favourable, there is no doubt that the crops
will be abundant.

—Journal of the Agricultural

Society,

APOTHECARIES HALL.-The following are the names of
gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and
practice of medicine, and received certificates to practise, on
Thursday, the 28th of August :—.3 oss ph Walter Davies,
Black wood, near Newport, Monmouthshire ; David Richards,
Ll'indovery, South `Vales; William Hey, Borrowash, near
Derby ; Hugh Pengilly Olivey, M 3 ton, near Falmouth ;
and Alfred Meadows, Ipswich.
PRESS HOAXES.—It seems that hoaxes on the press are
not confined to England. The statement in the continental
papers that picture galleries, costly furniture, &c., have
been destroyed by the firing of the troops during the late
insurrection at Madrid turns out to be mere fiction. One
of the p rsons named as having claimed an indemnity
of £90,000, the Duke de Medina, Celi, and the Duke
of Alba, have denounced the whole stsry as a " tissue of
falsehoods."

Co aosrat's INQTJESTS.—Yesterday the borough coroner
(~ hero e were glad to see resume his duties in good health,
after his recent attack of illness) held the following inquests:
—On the body of Anne Stephenson, aged thirty years, who
died suddenly on Sunday morning, in the house of Mr. John
Hudson, spirit vaults, corner of Leigh and Williamson-
streets. It appeared that the deceased resided with her father
in Pddiham, and that for some time past she had suffered from
disease of the lungs. She had been stopping at Bootle and
returned on Saturday to Mr. Hudson's, who was a friend, to
spend a day at his house. On Sunday morning she was
found dead on the floor, and a quantity of blood, which she
had thrown up, about her. Death was the result of natural
causes, and the jury found a verdict accordingly.—On the
body of Mrs. Catherine Scott, an account of whose death
appeared in our paper of yesterday, the jury found a
verdict of accidental death, and, at the same time, made a
presentment, which the coroner would forward to the dock
committee, strongly recommending some protection to be
placed about the piers towards the head of the Prince's and
George's dock gates, as these were in a very dangerous state
at present.—On the body of a man, name unknown, found
in the river. The deceased was six feet high, and was
dressed in black frock coat, black satin vest, grey tweed
trousers (with straps), short Wellington boots, white cotton
stockings, and white linen shirt, and black satin stock.
There was no papers to identify him, nor was there any
money found on his person. He appeared, from his hands,
not to have laboured. The jury returned a verdict of
" Found drowned." Subsequently the body was identified
as that of Mr. Chester, a solicitor, residing in Wellington-
road. He had not been seen since Wednesday, on which
day he went to attend a sale at Crosby. At present no
satisfactory reason can be assigned for the melancholy
occurrence,
