WHEAT AND FLOUR IN FRANCE COMPARED

WITH LONDON.
WHEAT. —The highest price of the best wheat in Peri%
24 francs per 1- hectolitre, which is equal to 365. 9cl. Pe,
English imperial quarter. The highest price of the be
Essex and Kent wheat in London, is 665. per quarter, slur:
ing fine wheat to be 295. 3d. per quarter dearer in Lon*
than in Paris, or upwards of 79 per cent. ; and that the Iss !
money which will in London buy but eight bushels of wheal'
will, in Paris, procure fourteen and nearly a half bushels of 1117
finest quality.
FLOUR.—The highest price of flour of the " first mark" ill
Paris, is 48 francs per 159 kilogrammes, which is equal W
30s. 3d. per English sack of 280 pounds. The highest pric;
of the best " town made" flour in London, being /O
10s. lei,
sack, shows fine flour to be 21s. 9d. per sack dearer in Len
than in Paris, or nearly 72 per cent. ; and that the same °,
which in London buys but 280 pounds of fine flour, will "-
Paris purchase 481 pounds of the very best quality.

The campaign has opened under most favourable
auspices. We have seldom been present at a more soul`
stirring meeting than that which called upon Mr. Dennist°l3
to come forward on this occasion. The bazaar upon Fri
l;
evening was filled in every part ; and, from what we hr's
learned, there could not be fewer than 3,000 individuals *Pre;
sent. Well might Mr. Dennistoun point to the call of 111
an assemblage as a justification for presenting himse,if sts
candidate. We have had some experience of public tnectiog:
in Glasgow, and can vouch for the fact, that a lasproP
tion of those present were stanch Reform electors.

It is said that Sarah Gale, the woman who played
so conspicuous a part in the late Greenacre tragedy, 'lase
one period of her life the kept-mistress of a barrister of °-
standing, who is still alive.

Our Eastbourne fishermen have been more success;
ful. Yesterday we had about 2,000 mackerel landed, and 9'rne
to-day. This has set all the boats upon the alert ; and we Be,
much in hope that, although late, it may be the cominenp d
ment of a prosperous season. Our journeymen carpentersPof
bricklayers, on Monday morning, struck for an advance

wages. Some arrangements having since been made w. A
them by their employers, they have resumed their work I'l
quiet and peaceable manner.—Brighton Gazette.
