CITY, lIONDAY Evc*twa.
The business tranucted this day on dm Stook Exchange has not
been extensive. Prices of the Cr' mule are, however, deism, 'as
ems anticipated this morning in .tbe Seitials Press. and the Fund.,

the increasing prosperity or The Cowls opened at 90i

have beet dearer, had not an unesesseery alarmbeea created by the
Times stating this morning that the British Goverment had re.
fused to ratify the commercial treaty with Mexico. Greek Scrip is
1 per cent. cheaper It consequence of the unfavourable intelligence
received from that unfortunate country.
In the Share Market very little business has been done, and as
variation can be quoted in prices. The amity novelty of the day is a

A letter front Cadiz of the 9th of July states, that there
are four Colombian privateers constantly off that port, the
smallest of which carries eight guns; they are relieved
Neu time to time by others from Gibraltar. On the 7th
July a Royal Commissioner arrived at Cadiz from Madrid,
with orders to forward the preparations for the expedition
ao the Havannah. It was understood that the motive for
this haste was to be found in intelligence received by the
Spanish Government from the Governor of the Havannah,
of a meditated attack upon Cuba by a condi zed Mexican
and Chilian squad:tn. The Spanish ships fitting out at
Cadiz are to proceed to Comma, to be joined by other
vessels, and to sail direct for the Havannald.
Extract of a letter from Ilavannah, dated June 7:—
" Your newspaper paragraphs respecting our general situa-
tion have got to such a pitch lately that all the merchants
here are about to publish a men to show at least they feel
ima alarm for their persona or property, and that whatever
I change may take place, will be effected with perfect unani-
mity, and not by bloodshed and revolution. The Colom-
bians may talk about invading us; but, believe me, that in
saying and doing there is a wide difference; for my part, 1
believe the march of events tin Europe will be much more
rapid than any hostile movement on this aide, and that in-
dependence smug be granted by Spain herself to such
colonies as desire it. for ' independence will not suit this
colony."—Phdadelphio Paprit.
HAGUE, Jon' 20:7""The..MIgistrates of Breda have
jitipptit necessary to forbid, under the penalties fixed in .
art. 4/1 of the Penal Code, theiteouring of the shops, and
the pavement in front of the houses, it being advisable,,on
account of the great drought, to be sparing in the use of
water, that there may be no want in case of fire.
Persaurto, Juts 15.—We have again received the
melancholy news of more fires. On the Scl of this month,
almost the whole villageof Honco( was burnt down in
two hours. Of 250 houses only nine remain. The church
was also destroyed and the bells melted. A Jewish family
of eight persons unfortunately perished, •
Bap xe wic IC, JULY 21.—Tile extreme heat of the wea-
ther has been accompanied with numerous fires in our vici-
nity, and other parts of the court try, which the great drought
has rendered particular! destructive. Yesterday soother
large village was emir. onetime& On the 16th the
snbtown of Susen expert - a similar visitations-493 bourses
were destroyed, and 200 families reduced to the greatest
distress, by the total destruction of all their property.
TRAWL or leetaxtr.—The English Market is now ac-
cessible to Irish produce in a feu; hours, no matter what
may be the state of the weather • and the consequence is,
that they export from Dublin Irish mutton, Irish lamb,
Irish veal, Irish beef just killed, and Irish fowls just ready
for the spit, together with Irish vegetables, in vast cargoes.
All these articles are prickly disposed of on getting acmes
the water, and the returns arc equally rapid and profitable.
Hence, instead of the price of beef and mutton being now
only threepence or fourpenee a pound, as was the case a
short tune ego, the average rate at present is from sixpence
to eightpeoce in enlarger towns, and'other articles arc high
in proportion. The Hibernian Bank Company is warmly
supported both by Catholics and Protestants, in copse-
; quence of the narrow printiple on which the lank of Ire-
land
is conducted.—Wesford Journal.
Tits' Caor s.—in consequence of the almost iinpreces:
centeel continuance of warm weather, the greater part of
the corn crops are nearly fit for the sickle. In Middlesex,
: Essex, Surrey, Kent, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, and
some other counties, law, quantities have already been
I reaped. The quality and amount of the crops are exceed-
! ingly various, some being plentiful, and full in the car,
' ! and others altogether as bad. The wheat, generally speak-
ing, is both plentiful and-good ; barley not quite so favour-
; able. Oats and rye are tolerably good, but not so good
as we remember in some former years. The accounts of
'the crops from the Northern Counties are generally favour-
; able, but they will not, of course be down for some weeks
yet. The hop account is decidedly bail, as are also the
turnip prospects, which, as well as the other artificial and
; ' the natural grasses, suffer much from the want of rain.
Potatoes, with the exception of some few favourul spots,
' ; have not been very productive. Those vines which were
I not blighted by the spring frost present a very fine show
of grapes. Some few other fruits have also profited by
; the weather ' • but, generally speaking, it has produced I:
sad fall in the leaves of the trees, particularly those in very
dry situations.
The comet which has recently visited us may be seen in
the North-cast, subtending an angle of about 30 degrees,
from one in the morning until after three. To the naked
eye it appears like a most brilliant star, but of a greater
apparent magnitude than any of the planets. When viewed
through a telescope, magnifying 75 times, it assumes the
shape of the flame of a latnp with a broad wick. Perhaps
smile of our astronomers may inform us whether this come(
influences the weather.

Some of the Parisian astronomers say we, shall have little
or no rain until the end of the autumn, the disk of the
sun being more free from spots than has been known for
several years.
A famous robber, named Reichelmairn, is the subject of
general converrition at this moment, at Bremen. The
(;azette published in that city gives the following account
of him :—" Reichelmairn is a man of polite address, well-
informed, and elegant in his manners. He has carried the
art of deception to the highest degree of perfection and 6-
nesse, acid all the authorities with whom be has had to do,
have been his dup.:. He has just been apprehended at
Bremen, after having effected his escape from a ship which
was to have conveyed him from Hamburgh to the Brazils.
Rnichelinairn was born at lieideldwitn, and is the son of a
postmaster. 't his individual is so notorious, and his rob-
beries are so numerous, that he is called the Cartorche
AAc-
ntaad. He appeals acquinted with the art of necromancy
of ancient times, and knows bow to disguise himself so as
not to be known. When the French wefe at Bremen he
escaped from prison in eba disguttie of, a geattlarme. The
characters Which this maw assumes so cotnitletely disguisej

LAST DAY OF TIIE RACES—ENTHUSIASTIC RE-;
CEPTION OF THE DUKE OF YORK AT. THE
TH;:;ATRE.
Tbc Bsightos races ended yesterday, and seldom I believe have ,
they had Sc boast of a more numerous end fashipoahle attendance I
than during the two presediog days. Yesterday there were qot
many persona on the course, as in fact there was notbffigleortb
seeing. Three horses (hunters) belonging to officers of the 17th
Lancers, who are quartered here, ran heats for a sweepauskea of
55 sovereigns, which was won with ease by a horse belonging to
Capt. Smith.
Last night, by his Royal Highness's cornmaml, the comedy of
the Road to Rata. with the farce of the Prise, or 2,3, 5,0, was
I performed at the Theatre. Although in the early pact of the day
a report had been industriously spread, that altnouith his Royal
Highness had commanded the play he did not mean to honour the
Theatre with his presence, a most numerous and fashionable au.
titmice notwithstanding were assembled soon atter the rising t,f the ;
curtain, and before the conclusion of the second act, almost every ;
place was taken. The play having concluded without his Royal '
Highness having made his appearance, many began to apprehend 1
that the report of the morning was well litunded, while others
looted wistfully towards the royal box. At length:just as the
farce had commenced, a buz of applause begin to circulate round
the Theatre, and his Royal Highness, accompanied by the Duchess
of Rutland, Alt. Fox, Lord Alvatiley, and several other distin-
guished personages, entered the Theatre ; the audience rose annul-
taneously, end it was many minutes ere the applause with which
his Royal Highness was greeted, and which lie saknowledged by
bowing repeatedly, subsided. The whaled the corps dramatigue
then mine forward, and sang " God save the King. 111 which the
audience md his Royal Highness joined. The farce then pro-
ceeded, and appeared to efford great pleasure to the illustrious
Duke. As anon as the after-piece was concluded, " God save the
King" was again sung, and hi. Royal Iligliness retired, with his
party, amidst the loudest cheers from every part of the hotter.
