WHEAT AND FLOUR_IN FRANCE COMPARED

WITH LONDON.--
WHEAT. —The highest price of the best wheat in Paris, is
27 francs, per hectolitre, which is equal to 41s. 3d. per
English imperial quarter. The highest price of the' best
Essex and Kent wheat in London, is 68s. per quarter, shr;
ing fine wheat to be 265. 9d. per quarter dearer in Loa"°.
than in Paris, or upwards of 65 per cent. ; and that the saga
money which will in London buy but eight bushels of wheat,
will, in Paris, purchase 13- bushels of the finest quality.
FLoun.--.The highest price of flour of the first mark" is
Paris, is 53 francs per 159 kilogrammes, which is eqnsi,
.",0
325. 9d. per English sack of 280 pounds. The highest priC'
of the best " town made" flour in London, being ros•
sack, shows fine flour to be 225. 3d. per sack dearer in Lond°
than in Paris, or nearly 68 per cent. ; and that the same a?„°2;?:
which in London buys but 280 pounds of fine flour, You
Paris purchase 470 pounds of the very best quality.

APPLES—Such is the abundance of the apple Crop
in the neighbourhood of Retford, that fine pulled ones'vjere
sold in the market there on Saturday week, at one Sii
the pannier, containing nearly six pecks.—Nottinahani
view.
We have late accounts from Venezuela. All WaS
tranquil there ; but, on account of the late disturbance'',
there still existed a great scarcity of maise and pulse, which
in that country constitutes the principal article of food for
the lower classes. Good crops were anticipated. The
government had been occupied in the discussion of the
abolition of convents, of which there were three orders is!
the Caraccas—the Franciscan friars, the Dominicans, ar
the Mercenaries. The latter order had been suppressed.
A good deal is said about some private letters front
the Gineral at the Hermitage—and he wrote to the Globe'
man at Washington. I haint had time yet to read '4lll,
but if they are what I hear tell'd on, I don't believe the
Gineral ever wrote 'em—and if he did, it don't amount t°,
nothing. What a man writes afore he is President and
what he writes after he has quit that office amounts Prittar
much to the same thing. The Gineral wrote a very g°
letter once to Mr. Munro, but it did not come to a"f
good. One man's letter, then, is jist as good as any r
otbe
maa's letter. Take Gineral Harrison now for instance
let him write a letter--I don't think it would make the i
longer or shorter ; but make him President, and then 2,d.
his letters—so long as he is President—would be eensiderict
by many as very important, and some would think the IThris,
was jist beginning, and some that it was jist ending. .13r
shows, then, there must be something in the office--it
be the 25,000 dollars a-year, and a big house free of
and the right of nominating folks to office, or somethfp;
else, I don't know what, but there is something that alai;
his notions better or sounder than before. Well al
when he quits office I don't see why he should talc* all t
mother wit he found there along with him ; he should lean%
it where he found it for the benefit of the next. I ain't ogo
of those kind of folks that think the world is corning w
end by the notions of any man who ain't President, whether
:eO,
written before or arter ; my letter then is jilt as good as"' no
and I don't know but it is a leetle better, for I }mint got
party notions to sarve, and no mistakes to kiver UP',
