in October is fixed at 18 sous (9d. ngli,h) the'
four-pounds loaf. This can be endured while the
poor find work ; but unless measures be taken
to reduce the price of bread before the setting in
of the winter season the sufferings of the poor of
Paris will be dreadful.
The Commerce has a letter from Vienna, which
states that the Austrian Cabinet has raolved to

interfere effectually in the affairs of the East. Lieu-
tenant Field-Marshal Baron DE BERNHARDT iS
to be employed at the head of the army in Gallicia,
and Lieutenant Field-Marshal Baron PETSY VON
HESTE at the head of the troops in Transylvania,
amounting in all to upwards of 60,000 men, with
168 pieces of cannon. The Archduke CHARLES
is named as the Commander-in-Chief. The same
letter states that but for Russia a Congress would
have assembled, to settle the question in a pacific
manner.

The accounts from Spain consist of reports of
inhuman atrocities committed by CABRERA and
the Count D'ESPAGNE, the latter of whom, after
flying from Berga at the approach of the Chris-
tines, and murdering some unsuspecting women
and children during the celebration of a festival in
the village of Ca tnprodon, has sent an agent to France
to negoctate a safe-conduct for himself and followers
to Bayonne. The following extract from a letter
from Saragossa of the 25th ult. details the infa-
mous career of the monster CABRERA :
Cabrera is again seizing on all the young men; and
when any escape his grasp, he carries off their fathers,
mothers, and sisters. At Obon alone he has taken away
forty women whose sons had evaded his pursuit. He
levies contributions on all the villages, and 50,000 douros
have been exacted from only two villages in the province
of Cuenca. Teruel is closely invested, and Cabrera has
ordered that every one caught bringing in provisions shall
be shot.
On the 24th the first brigade of the army des-
tined to drive CABRERA out of Spain arrived at
Tudela. ESPARTERO, after visiting Madrid, will
take the command in person against CABRERA.
The Bayonne Phare of the 28th ult., and the Memorial
Bordeluis of the 29th, both announce that the castle and
fort of Guevara, in Alav?, had submitted to the Queea's
Goverment. No portion of the Basque provinces now
remained in the hands of the Carlists, and the Christino
communications between Irun, Vittoria, Bilbao, and Ma-
drid were re-established.
M. Michaud, many years editor of the Quolidienne, and
celebrates for his " History of the Crusades," died on
Tuesday at Paris.
The Abbe Sibour, Canon of Nimes, is nominated to the
Bishopric of Dyne, and the Abbe Paissans, Vicar-General
of Bayeux, to the Bishopric of Angers. It was not with-
out the most strenuous resistance that Louis Philippe con-
sented to fix his signature to the nomination of M. Sibour.
M. Tcste was obliged to return to the charge several times
before he could succeed.—Gazette de France.

The Bru,sels Papers of Tuesday state that there
is no truth whatever in the , rumour about the pro-
posed marriage of the King of HOLLAND with
MademoiselleD'OULTßEMONT.

A band of smugglers, consisting of about forty
men, was attacked on the night of the 23d ult. near
Tarichout, by the Custom-house officers, who suc-
ceeded in capturing nineteen bales of English goods.
This is the largest seizure that has been made for
several years in the province of Antwerp.
. _

Of the extent to which smuggling i; carried on
between France and Belgium some idea may be
formed from the fact, that while the Belgian revenue
tables estimate the importation of silks from France
at two millions of francs, the French tables for a
corresponding period show an exportation of silks to
Belgium of the value of from eight to twelve mil-
lions 7. And this in the single article of silks only

A few u, the leading American merchants bad
meeting in the cou:se of yesterday morning, for the pur-
pose of receiving eert.:in:tatements from the Agent of the
United States Bank, to enaia:e them to form a judgment
of the nature and extent of its liabilities, and to detor-
mine whether they could with perfect safety to them-
selves afford it their protection through the present diffi-
culties. What passed at the above meeting, and its
result, is not, as yet, publicly known.
It is reported this morning that Mr. Jaudon will paY
his own acceptances, but not the post notes of the United
States Bank, for which he demands three days' grace for
the arrival of the Great W",.,stern, which is expected on
Sunday or Monday next.
We have very few arrivals this morning, which causes
a great dearth of intelligence.

THE WEATHER.—In The Sun of this mornillg " :
stated that fine weather seems to have been prett
y
!..-ra"
neral throughout the country (England) and r.l
Scotland and Ireland too, the reports received th"eri.
vourahle. In the City article of the Times are tho.°l‘
lowing words :—" The letters from Scotland and Ire'
land convey very gloomy accounts relative to the Of:,
vest." Which is the correct account ? We profess:%
confidence in these private letters, particularly dinl/1"
the present jobbings in the corn trade, and pre& The
impartial accounts given in the Local papers. .41h.
following is an extract from a Dublin Paper,
Tones has inserted, and we leave our
;t readers
The
to find out the " gloomy accounts" lu .."-„,d: since
accounts from the provinces which have moue
front
those
n,
Friday are generally favourable, particularly
the counties Meath, Westmeath, Antrim, f,outb,.a :
Down. Complaints still prevail as to the trying' weatinF
nth
from Limerick, Derry, and Donegal. Connau,Vhta
the exception of Sligo, seems to have been this .year Pe'
culiarly exempted from the bad effects of the' :heal,
oat"
rains which fell during the last two months. T fal"
he ,
crop in Galway will, we learn, be abundant.--/I.
From England, too, with the exception of some pis ces
on the West coast, where much rain falls, even in ;the
best seasons, the accounts are good. The Presten
Chronicle states that even in that quarter, reckoned
next to the district around Kendal, .the most subject to
rain of any in England, " the weather' has been such as
to inspire the cheering hope that the damage done by
the late rains may yet in a great measure be repaired."
From Durham, Darlington, Kelso, and otber places on
the East coast we have accounts in the papers of " fa-
vourable weather," " weather most propitio,ns for the
harvest," and hopes are entertained of a speedy reduc-
tion of prices. The following extract from the We stern
Luminary, we are inclined to think, gives a very impart's,:
and true account of the crops throughout the Unite'
.Kingdom :—" Since our last the gloomy apprenea-
mons entertained as to the result of the harvest
have, in a great measure, passed away, and we. Are
happy to find from the reports which w,e haver
taken pains to examine, in papers from all ~, its e•
England and Wales, that hopes are generally en;
°
tertained of the harvest being a fair average 4,',
In Ireland, some uncertainty still prevails, as well as in,
Scotland, but the reports of serious damage sustainet.
are confined to certain districts, and so variable MI
partial appears to have been the weather in its worst
form, that districts immediately contiguous are rePre"
sented to have suffered but little. In the northel
counties of England an immense quantity of grain •e•lt
different kinds has been secured, the greater part of _
in very fair condition, much without injury, but sole,
in unfavourable situations tainted with sprout and,ans,
dew. In Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lei'enesc
tershire, Rutlandshire, &c., the wheat, barley, anu "cl,
parte_,
crops will not be nearly so had as has been re
and throughout these, as well as the contiguous Ole
ties, the quantity will be large, and the quality on t''
whole very fair.
The following laconic epistle may be seen in the
window of a coffee-house in Featherstone-street, C't,l;
road :—"Stolen, from this window, a china cup 8,.„
saucer ; the set being now incomplete, the thief Owl
have the remainder a bargain."

CHARLES LAMB AND HIS " D1P'''..,:..., h.

He was at one part of his life ordered to the si34-9th
for the benefit of bathing ; but not possessing. streo-bs
of nerve sufficient to throw himself into the water'
necessarily yielded his small person up to the discreti°ll

having prepared for immersion, he placed himself ns
without trepidation between these huge ereatur9r-'
