The accounts from London, France, and Germany,
Indicate a general tendency to fall. In our market
in
the interior there is likewise a fall, though we think less
here decided than in other countries. In any case, the fall
is more decided on rye than on wheat. A fall of from
21. to 3f. has taken place at the markets of Grammont,
Liege, Louvain, Coutrai, and Termonde. There is
likewise a fall of lf. on wheat, except at Termonde,
where it has risen, and at Grammont, where, on the
contrary, this grain has fallen no less than 4£
The importation of corn is less this year at Antwerp
than the preceding, which may be partly accounted for
!Dy the high prices of this article in the countries whence
it is imported.
MUNICH, JULY 2.-The harvest has already began,
and promises to be extraordinarily productive in Lower
Bavaria. Not anywhere in Bavaria has the weather
been so unfavourable as with us, during the last week.
For some days we were really yearning for rain.
PESTS, JUNE 29.-We are just at the eve of the har-
vest, the prospects of which, from accounts from all parts
of the country, are of the most encouraging nature. At
most markets there is a great reduction in the prices of
corn, and the holders of large stores seem now to be
panic-struck, and to be glad to lower their demands, and
take what they can get. They now deliver their goods
to the buyers, which has not been the case for a long
time. The barley harvest has already begun. Several
markets here have had parcels of this year's crops. Here
in Pesth, as well as in the other provinces of Upper
Hungary, there is a terrible diminution in the prices, but
it is not in the same proportion as in the other articles.
At Wesprin, for example, one of our most important corn
markets, the following standard will show how consider-
able this reduction has been, The prices were, per
Vienna metzer-
JUNE 4.-Wheat 16E1. 45kr. to 18fl.; rye, 14fl 30kr. to
15f1.; maize, 111 35kr. to 1011. ; barley, 1111. 30kr. to
111 45kr. ; oats, 411. 6kr. to 41 15kr.
JUNE 26.-Wheat, 911. 45kr. to 1111. 30kr. ; rye, 811.
30kr. to 911. 36kr.; maize. 81 15kr. to 81 30kr.; barley,
3fl. 30kr. to 611.; oats, 41 to 4fl. 10kr.
AUGSBURG, JULY 3.--= Phis year's wheat has already
been brought to market at Batzen. At Neustadt, in the
Palatinate, this year, corn (probably rye) has also been
brought to market as fine and full as could possibly be
desired. At Friburg. in Brieyou, fine new wheat and
new winter barley were bought on the 26th June in
small quantities it is true. The rye harvest will com-
mence there the first week in July. In Mayence the
prices have fallen a good deal, because Government
brought several hundred quarters of wheat to market; in
other parts of Hesse the prices have likewise fallen. At
Ellwingen, on the contrary, by an extraordinary
anomaly, the prices have risen. The markets of Suabia
and Newberg present little change, scarcely any thing is
doing there, but there is a tendency to fall. At Erding
and Augsburg, on the other hand, things are unfavourable.
At the former place 1,009 sheffles were brought to
market, which were all sold, save 26 sheffies at raised
prices. Wheat rose 1311.; rye, 31 39k.; barley, 111. 21k.;
oats, 6k. The medium prices are-Wheat, 391 45k.;
rye, 3011. 31k.; barley, 2211. 30k. ; oats, BEI. 54k. At
Augsburgh, wheat rose 3fl. 146. ; corn, 111. 38k. ; rye,
111. Bk. ; barley, 111. 27k., oats. sk. The medium prices
are at 4011. 16k.; corn, 4111. 27k.; rye, 3211.48 k.; barley,
261 20k.; oats, 211. 45k. At Regensberg prices have
risen, but no sort above 111. The last accounts from
northern Germany mention large arrivals of rye from
Russia, and all are unanimous in opinion that there
must be a great and permanent reduction very soon.

MARYLEBONE ELECTION.
REFITSAL OF SIR BENJAMIN HALL TO GO

TO THE BALLOT.
The contest for the representation of the borough of
Marylebone, su far as the Liberal candidates are con-
cerned, is, it appears, likely to be brought to an amicable
termination. A communication was forwarded on
Thursday last to Sir Benjamin Hall, from the joint com-
mittee appointed by the candidates to arrange the pre-
liminaries for the monster ballot, stating that, at a
meeting of the Marylebone Reform Association, a reso-
lution had been passed unanimously, that a ballot should
be taken with respect to the Liberal candidates, D. W.
Harvey, Essi„ Lord Dudley Stuart, and Mr. Serjeant
Shee ; and that a resolution had also been passed by a
majority of seven votes, that the name of Sir B. Hall
should be placed in the same position, and that he should
be respectfully requested to allow such a proceeding.
To this communication the Hon. Baronet yesterday
forwarded to the committee the following reply:—
" St. James's-place, July 9, 1847.
"Sir,—l have the honour to receive your letter of this
date, enclosing copies of two resolutions passed at a
meeting of your association last night. The first of
these resolutions was, as you state, passed unanimously,
but the other was carried by a majority of only seven
votes ! In 1841, when a vacancy occurred, no desire
was expressed that I should take such a step as that now
proposed. The new candidates were alone required to
do so, and Sir Charles Napier having on that occasion
the majority of votes, was associated with me in the con-
test, and was returned. In the present instance Sir C.
Napier retires, and three candidates come forward to fill
the vacancy so created, and I have yet to learn that
either Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Sergeant Shee, or Mr.
Harvey has any desire to oppose me.
"In 1337 I was returned at the head of the poll by a
majority of 660 votes. In 1841 I maintained the same
position, and the majority was nearly doubled, and
amounted to 1,278, and nearly 5,000 electors polled for
me. A short time since your association, at a full meet-
ing, passed a vote of confidence in me almost unani-
mously, which vote was confirmed on a subsequent day.
Within the last few days two public meetings of electors,
the former numbering nearly 2,000, and the latter 700,
declared that they place continued confidence in me as
their representative, and would use their utmost endea-
vours to secure my re election. At the first of these
meetings only twelve hands were held up against me, and
at the second the resolution in my favour was passed
unanimously. Under these circumstances I feel confi-
dent that the association will, upon further considera-
tion, agree with me that it is my bounden duty to pre-
sent myself to the electors on the day of nomination, and
I have no doubt the constituency will believe that in
so doing I shall act with deference to my objections to
them, and that I shall receive. as heretofore, the almost
unanimous support of the Liberal electors of the bo-
rough, which I have the honour of representing for
ten years. -
" I have the honour to be, sir,
" Your obedient servant,
" B. HALL.
" To Mr. Brotherton, Lisson-grove."

The Committee again met yesterday, and I
pledge
was signed by the three first-mentioned candidates
te
retire from the contest of the borough in case thebsatlo
lot of the electors should be against either of them. It
was then resolved that the ballot should take place on
Monday, the 18th instant, to open at nine in the morn-
ing and close at eight in the evening, and that no per-
son should be admitted without signing a declaration
in the event of a poll being demanded, not to vote for
any but the reform candidates. The popular feeling
with respect to the candidates is still supposed to be in
favour of Mr. D. W. Harvey. It is generally consi-
dered that Sir B. Hall has acted perfectly right in not
submitting
to the ballot.

Tem CRINESE JUNK-KEYING, NOW ON HER RUT
TO EsnaLAND.—Captain C. A. Kellet has kindly favoured
ius with the following account of the Chinese junk Key-
ing:—The junk Keying left China, Dec. 6, 1846, ar-
rived at St. Helena, April 17, 1847; has had very
light
winds nearly the whole voyage, having been at anchor
six weeks in the Java Sca and 'Sunda Straits, with light
southerly and south-west winds. Off the Mauritius ex-
perienced some very heavy weather on the 22d and 23d
of March, but found her to be a most beautiful seaboat,
and easy, never having shipped a drop of water since
leaving China, or leaking. Her masts and rudder are of
immense size and weight, being made of iron wood.
Her rudder is hung to three large ropes, and drawn into
her stern by two others, going underneath her bottom,
and coming over the bows, and

is 30 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 12 feet high, painted
with variousleasta, birds, &c. She has also six small
cabins on the first poop, with the joss-house in the
centre, in which a light is constantly kept burning. Her
stern is 32 feet high out of the water.—St. Helena

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JULY 9.—The market
continues rather dull, and purchases are only made to
supply immediate wants. Rofined goods are flat and
i
lower. In rum there s very little doing.

The British Museum Commission held a meeting on
Saturday at Gwydyr House, the Bishop of Norwich, in
the chair. The Commissioners present were Lord Wrot-
tesley, Sir P. de M. Grey Egerton, Bart., Sir Charles
Lemon, Ba.rt., the Right lion. the Lord Advocate, Mr.
Hume, 31. p.,. Mr. Rogers, and Mr. Milnes, M.P.
