WHEAT IN THE PROVINCES.

ANGERVILLE, AUG. 19.—The harvest has. been all got
in, and proves but half an average crop of wheat, and still
less of oats and barley. The prices have, however, been
with difficulty supported ; the new wheat is selling at 24if.
per 13- hectolitre, answering to 375. sd. per English quarter.
Old wheat of the first quality 25E or 38s. 2id. per qr. •
AUBIGNY, AUG. 15.—The harvest is advancing, but
with various success, according to the state of the weather.
It is not a fine crop, and will not be abundant. Our market
is tolerably supplied, and prices continue to advance.
Wheat is now quoted ISf. 90c. to 17f. 25c. per hectolitre,
equal to 31s. 10d. and 89s. ld, per English quarter.
LILLE, AUG. 18.—Very little was done at our market
yesterday, and prices of wheat declined 7bc. to If. per sack.
The harvest goes on actively, and three-fourths of the crop
is got in. Some few sacks of the new wheat have been
brought to market, and sold at 24 francs, or 365. Bd. per
quarter. Nothing is doing in flour, and the quotation is
quite nominal. The millers are not disposed to sell at the
decline for the first marks, and as they do not continue
grinding so much, it may be supposed that prices. will be
sustained.

BREAD IN FRANCE.
PARIS, AUG. 20.—The highest price of the best white
bread is 55 centimes per 2 kilogrammes, which is equal to
4d. nearly per English four pound loaf.
DAMMARTIN, AUG. 12.—The best bread is selling at
23 1-3 c. per kilogramme, which is equal to 4d. per English
four pound loaf of the finest quality.
ROUEN, AUG. 19.—Wheat remains very steady. The
supply is short, and the quotation is 15 if. to 16f. per hec-
tolitre, or 345. 11d. to 365. Bd. per quarter. The small
quantity of new wheat which has been brought to market
sold at 15f. to 161 f. The quality of what has hitherto
been shown is not very fine.
STRASBURGII, AUG. 17.—The best wheat is 16f. per hec-
tolitro, corresponding with 365. Bd. per quarter English.
WHEAT IN FOREIGN PORTS.
In PORTUGAL—the season has been very favourable for
the harvest, and the crop of wheat especially will be very
abundant. However, the stock of old wheat being ex-
hausted, the Government has authorized the importation of
foreign corn at Oporto of about 100,000 alquieras, or about
40,000 bushels English measure. The stock at Lisbon is
also very short, not exceeding 12,000 English bushels.
At KOENISBERG—the price of wheat is steady, and
holders keep back, expecting a rise on account of the unfa-
vourable weather.

At DANTZIC—the last advices from Liverpool have en-
couraged the proprietors of grain to be very tenacious of
what they have on hand. The weather had been rainy, and
the rye harvest will be deficient. There are many orders in
the market for American account.

At ROTTERDAM—tiIe wheat market is very steady, and
all accounts are representing the harvest interior both in
quantity and quality.
In MECKLENBURG--the prices of wheat, barley, and
rapeseed remain without alteration, and the weather is be-
coming more favourable for the harvest.

. ........,..,..
In DENMARK—the new crop of rapeseed is good as to
quantity, but has been too badly got in to be shipped at
present.

- At HAMBURG—tiIe arrivals from the Upper Elbe have
been very limited, and no orders had arrived for exports,
the prices are firmer. There have been sales expected at
28 dollars per last, or 325. Id. per qr.
EXCHANGE OF PARIS, Auo. 23.
The course on London had appeared more steady, and
there is money for three months' bills at 25f. 05e., with a
prospect of rise. There is no alteration in bills on other
places, and on almost all places paper is more offered than
demanded. Little doing in bullion and specie.
HAVRE, Aun. 20.
COTTONS.—The market closed at very firm prices, par-
ticularly for the fine Lousiana cotton.
RAW SUGAR—remains as before. The stock in the place
is 11,000 casks. prices
INDlGO.—Nothing doing, and prices rather tending to
a decline.

BOURDEAUX, AUG. 20.
Our market has been as quiet this week as the last ; the
importations almost nothing, and prices stationary.
Corrox—continues steady.
COFFEE—nothing of importance done.
SUGAR.—West India sugar is very firm. The stock is
reduced to 2,618 casks.

SPIRITS.—Very little done this week in proof spirits, for
present delivery, though some contracts have been made for
December and March.

THE MEMOIRS OF LUCIEN BUONAPARTE,
PRINCE OF CANINO, WRITTEN BY lIIMSELF.—These memoirs
will be looked for with intense interest throughout Europe,
involving in them as they will much of the private life of Na-
poleon, from his childhood upwards. Napoleon is of course
the master-spirit of the narrative, and these memoirs will sup-
ply akey to many of those gigantic operations which agitated
most of the civilised world during his ascendancy; they will
also furnish a portraiture of times, of men, and especially of
principles, deserving of unreserved confidence. Of the mul-
titude of publications which have hitherto appeared many
have been deficient in some points of authority. The fact of
the Prince Lucien givin,, his own Memoirs will therefore be
felt with all its weight and importance. We observe the " Me-
tropolitan" for September is to contain exclusively interesting
extracts from this unpublished work.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, Auc. 25.
The Cotton Market is greater to-day, but without change
of price. The sales 2,500 bags, chiefly Americans, Bd. to
12d. ; Marauhams, 10V. to 12-id.
'IIIE HOPS.

WORCESTER, AUG. 24.—1 t was anticipated in our last
report that the plant would improve, and that anticipation
has been realized, the general report being much more
favourable.

The late cold winds have materially affected the planta-
tions in the vicinity of Canterbury. The backward and
weakly grounds are, we fear, past recovery, and will pro-
duce but little ; and in the strong healthy grounds the
growth will fall short of anticipation, there being nothing
but what is called a " top-crop." The duty is still over-
rated. The hops in the neighbourhood of Cranbrook make
very slow progress ; some grounds begin to look promising,
while many remain backward ; the wind continuing in a
cold quarter, is not congenial to them. The crop in Mid-
Kent district must prove very short, certainly not more than
half of last year, and in some parts about two-thirds.
