MONTREAL, Tuesliay, 'June 28, Ma

The hot weedier has fairly set in. The accounts respect-
ing the crops from various parts of the country are conflict-
ing, but, upon the whole, decidedly favourable. This is
especially the case in Lower Canada, although •it is to be
remarked that the start of about a fortnight, as compared
with fornreryears, obtained in the early part of this spring,
has been more Than lost by the long-continued cold weather.
The fall in Chicago on spring wheat continues. The
price is at present about 88c. for standard, which about a
month ago rose to $1 25c. This heavy fall will seriously
affect large holders.

The accounts of the crops from Britain and Europe
generally are all favourable so far, and prices have still
further declined. Should these low prices continue in
Europe, our coming crop will, of course, bring but a low
price here.

New wheat is beginning to come in to the -Southern
markets, but not in any considerableiquantities.
FLOUR : This market is very dull, except for retail sales,
which are active. The wholesale prices, which are stiil
declining, may be quoted as follows: —No. 'l, $6 to $6 25c;
Fancy $6 25c to $6 50c ; Extras $7 to-$B. The prices for
retail parcels area about 25c higher. Flour made from sound
winter wheat is not abundant. Unsound flour continues at
about $5, with a good demand from the country. Rye flour
and oatmeal are of very slow sale.

'GRAIN : There is lathing to quote in any kind.
ASHES are in better demand, and Pots are readily ,saleable
at $5 90e to $5 95e ; Pearls $6. The supply continues good.

`FORK : There is none coming in, alla therefore we can
only give the price at which dealers sell, viz., $l4, to $l6, and
$lO for Prime, Prime Mess, and Mess respectively. They
would not, however, of course, pay these prices.
BUTTER has not come forward so freely as was expected,
and as the hot weather has set in, it cannot now come from
any distance. There is, therefore, a firmer feeling on the
.part of holders, who have advanced their pretensionszbout
s cent. a pound, but there are no sales at the increased rate.
A country packer, who sends a choice article, says butter
sihould not be washed at all, but the milk separated by
strong pressure. We would like to know more about this
clan. _

Fisn : None in market.

Southern Railroad last night occurred near _South Bend,
Indiana. The stream where ;it took place is naturally a
small rivulet, but was much swollen by heavy rains the
previous afternoon and evening, and the flood-wood
probably chocked the culvert, converting the embankment
into a dam, and the great weight of water, with the con-
cussion of the crossing train caused the sad calamity. There

were about 'l6O passengers on the train. Thirty-three
persons were taken from the ruing dead, and fifty to sixty
-others were-wounded.

The killed, as far as their names have been ascertained,
are :—Hartwell, express messenger ;. engineer and fireman,

hour. The train going west passed over the embankment
safely three hours before the accident.
Conductor Osgood was slightly hurt, and was unable to
ftunish any of the names of the killed.

TUE FRENCH FLEET.—The Channel .squadron which it

yard to get ready and launch the two frigates Invincible
and Gloire.— TirdeB Correspondent.
Du. MORITZ WAGNER.—The intelligence
of the late
for the
earthquake at Quito gave rise to apprehensions
safety of Dr. Moritz Wagner, who, it was known, was 11
that part of South America at the time of the catastrophe.l.
We are happy in being enabled to state that all fears for
the safety of the traveller have been set at rest by letters
received from himself, dated Quito, April 20th. At half-
past eight o'clock, on the morning of the 21st of March,
Dr. Wagner became sensible of the approaching shock.
He was at a country house, at a little distance from the
city, and he had barely time to rush into the garden, when
the roof of the building and a stone gallery fell in with a
terrible crash. Looking in the direction of the city, he saw
that all the beautiful church steeples had vanished, and
vast clouds of smoke were overhanging the ruins of the
fallen houses. One half of the Inca capital, two other
towns, about trnaty villages, and two hundaed haciendas,
are reduced to heaps of ruins. Thu du,raticm of the move-
ment was about sixty seconds.

LIVERPOOZ POLICE IXTELLIGENCE.—Saturday.

BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD,

NORE Baatxs No. William Whittaker, a butcher, living
in Suffolk-street, charged a woman named Ellen Langley,
for having 'broken his nose. It appeared that about one
o'clock on Sunday morning, the woman went to the house
of complainant, in a state of intoxication, and created a
disturbance. When he went to put her out, she took up a
cleaver and smashed his nose in pieces with a blow of it. A
doctor proved that the organ was broken in pieces, and
there would be an injury for life. The woman was sent for
trial at assizes.

FTNE FEATHERS.—Two well-dressed young women,
named Agnes Mooney and Mary Ware, were brought up by
detective-dicer Redman, on a charge of having stolen
feathers, to the value of £4 10s., from their employer, Mrs.
Tyner, of Shude Hill, Manchester. The prisoners left the
employment on Saturday, taking the feathers with them,
and the officer arrested them here on Sunday night, with
the articles iu their possession. Mr. Mansfield: They say
fine feathers make fine birds, but the fine feathers in this
rase make jail-birds. Send them back to Manchester, for
trial there.

Patrick Garritty was sent to jail for six months, for
'having knocked down and kicked a woman, in a row in
.tarybone.

STRANGE.—Edward Edwards, described as a waiter, was
brottght up on a charge of having created an annoyance at.
the hotel of a Mr. Stein, Paradise-street. The complainant.
said the prioner was a waiter in his establishment, but he'
was obliged to tnrn him away in consequence of his drunken,
habits, and then he returned and created a great disturbance,
•so that he was obliged to give him into custody. The
prisoner said the complainant was in the habit of
playing practical jokes on his wife about going to London..
He spoke, very incoherently, and, from his appearance (being-
lapped up in a blanket), it was evident his head was not att
right. He was remanded for seven days, in order to make
inquiry as to the state of his mind.

CHARGE AGAINST A POLICE OFFICER.—Davis, police-
officer 711, was charged for having nearly knocked the eye
out of a woman, named Martha Larkin, in Chadwick-street.
Mr. Muck prosecuted, and Mr. Cobb defended. There was
a Charge, also, against the prisoner, of having assaulted a
man named Morgan. It appeared that, after twelve o'clock
on Saturday night, the prisoner was on duty in Chadwick-
street, and, as the woman stated, she ,vas going into her own
house, with some buttermilk in a jug, when he came up to
her, and, without any provocation, struck her a blow in the
eye, that nearly knocked it out of its socket. Several
witnesses were examined, and Inspector Parlington, with
officers 682, 475, and others, gave evidence, and it seemed
the prisoner was tipsy at the time, and ,it was stated that
any row that was created arose through the officer. Morgan
swore that the officer knocked him down and kicked him,
without any provocation. On cross-examination by Mr.
Cobb, the witness said he got some drink, but knew what
he was doing. Another witness, named Turner, proved that
the prisoner assaulted him ; the prisoner was drunk at the
time, and witness gave him no provocation. Several other
persons proved that the officer assaulted them with both his
fists and baton. The house surgeon of the Northern Hos-
pital proved that the eye of Mrs. Larkin was nearly
knocked out, and that she would, in all probability, lose it.
The prisoner was remanded for the present.
Richard Wilde was brought, up on remand, charged with
having embezzled £5, the property of Mrs. Dudding, of
Parliament-street. The prisoner was brought up by Detec-
tive-officer Scott, and the details of the case were published
a few days ago. The case was an ingenions swindle. The
complainant got a note in halves, but they were not cor-
responding. numbers. The note was given to the prisoner
to stop and make inquiry about, and he charged 3s, saying
that was the charge of the bank, but it appeared he never
made any application at the bank, and it seemed the half
notes had got into the bank by some one who obtained £lO
in place of £5. The prisoner was sent for trial.
THE TRAVELS OF A GOLD WATCH.—A peculiar looking
person, named Samuel Coleman, described as recently a
print-seller in Great George's-street, and now of Wood-
street, watch dealer, was brought up by Inspector Horn; on
a charge of having pledged a gold watch under the following
circumstances. He said, on the 29th ult., a Dr. Scott, who
belonged to a regiment stationed at the Curragh of Kildare,
had a valuable gold watch stolen from him, from
the grand stand at the races, and on Thursday a communi-
cation was received, with a description of the watch. He
then went on to detail how he traced the watch to be
pledged at Gillard and Kidson's, Brownlow-hill. Mr.
Clough said that the watch was found to have been pledged
by the prisoner's wife, and he made a statement that he
bought it from a man who was now present, and from certain
circumstances he was of opinion perhaps the statement was
true. Inspector Horn said the statement made by the
prisoner was that he had purchased the watch from a person
named Murray, who had a place of business in Basnett-
street, and who lived at Wavertree; that he gave him £7
'for it, and that his wife pledged 4t'in her own name, Mrs.
Fairhurst, and that he sold the ticket to a young man,
named Smith, who is in an office, and he (Horn) found
that the prisoner had sold several watches to young men in
offices, and he (Horn) had strong suspicions about 'them.
He (Horn) said the prisoner told him he bought the watch,
and several others, from Murray, and the latter admitted
,that he frequently sold watches to him, but denied that he
had sold him the watch in question. Mr. Bluck, for the
prisoner, addressed the bench, and contended that his client
had given a satisfactory account of how he came by the
watch, the learned advocate tried to lay all the blame on
Murray. The prisoner was remanded.
FIGHTS ABOUT ORANGE LILLIEs.—Some forty or fifty
persons, men and women, were brought up in the course of
the sittings, all charged for fighting about orange lillies.
Amongst the number were two men, named Lynch and
Kermode—the latter joined a lot of senseless youths, with
orange lilies, to insult Lynch, who ." walloped" half a
dozep of them. Kermode was fined £2, and Lynch dis-
charged. He handed in 2s. fid. for_ the poor box. The
other prisoners, charged for fighting, were fined from ss. to
40s. each. This ought'to cool the ardour of those " loyalists."

LIVERPOOL BAIYKRC.PTCY COURT.—Yesterday,

BEFORE MR. COMMISSIONER PERRY,

In re LIONEL HOLDSWORTIL-This bankrupt was a com-
mission merchant, and rope and sailmaker in Liverpool.
This was the certificate sitting. Mr. Fletcher appeared on
behalf of the bankrupt, and Mr. Goodman for the assignees.
Mr. Goodman was not instructed to offer any opposition,
further than remark that the assignees considered the
bankrupt deserving of censure for having indorsed bills for
his brother-in-law, Edward Oliver, which was the main
cause of the bankrupt coming to the court. His Honour,
after referring to the proceedings, ordered the bankrupt's
certificate to be suspended for six months, and when granted
to he of the second class.

fie. re RICKARD CORLES9.—The bankrupt, a grocer and
dealer in jute in Liverpool, came up on his last examination.
Mr. Squarer appeared for the assignees, and examined the
bankrupt at some length with reference to the purchase and
sale of goods on the eve of his bankruptcy, and endeavoured
to show that he had brought himself within the provisions
of the 256th section of the Bankrupt Law Consolidation
Act, and that his protection should be refused. His Honour,
after hearing Mr. Cotton for the bankrupt, thought Mr.
Squarey's objections were not substantiated, and said the
bankrupt tight be allowed to pass. The certificate sitting
was fixed for the 2nd August.

In re JO RN PARRY.LD-Tl;is bankrupt, a horse dealer at
Wern, in the county of Carnarvon, came up on application
for his certificate. Mr. Evans, for the assignees, offered no
opposition. His Honour said the bankrupt might take a
third-class certificate.

A CHINESE DETUTATION.—On the day previous to the
departure of the mail from Hong Kong, Sir John Bowling
received a characteristic Chinese deputation. Twenty-two
schoolmasters desired an interview, bearing twenty-two
laudatory addresses, after which a procession, accompanied
by music, entered the vestibule of Government House
and presented sundry scrolls, in beautiful writing, convey-
ing the expression of good wishes for his future health and
prosperity. A looking-glass was brought forward with this
irtscriptiou : —" Your government (has been) bright as this
mirror." Next came a shining vase, filled with pure water,
to represent the "pure administration of justice!' Next
a large porcelain jar, filled with fragrant flowers, bearing
an in6eriptiou which conveyed the prayers that long life
and all its attendant blessings might be the governor's
privilege. Sir John addressed the deputation, expressing
the great delight he felt at witnessing and having been
allowed efficiently to co-operate in the spread of
knowledge among the Chinese inhabitants—at the vast
increase in the number of schools and scholars—and the
constantly growing demands upon the public purse for the
extension of popular education. The deputation, which
people," said they were gratified at what had been
presented their mementos in the name of the " literati and
the
done, and assured the governor that after his departure
nothing should be wanting on their parts to extend the
benefit of instruction through the government schools which
are now established in every part of the colony. The
native local authorities also presented a beautiful scarlet silk
scroll, with an inscription in large velvet characters,
betokening the " eternal memory of a virtuous administra-
tion," and a flattering address on white silk, bearing the
seals of all the Chinese commercial firms in the colony.
The addresses and presents were borne on gilded open
sedan chairs to the portico of the of cial
governor.-1! 010101401, ence of the
