THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BIRMINGHAM, AUGUST I.—At Gloucester and Worces-
ter markets on the 27th the extravagant demand for wheat
caused the transactions to be on a limited scale; the sales
made were at Is to 2s per quarter above the currency of that
day se'nnight. On barley the turn was in favour of the seller.
Oats unaltered, with a limited sale. Beans and peas both held
or Is to 2s per quarter more money. The weather during
the present week, with the exception of a light shower or two,
has been fine and warm, which has caused the wheat trade to
rule dull ; but we do not hear of lower prices having been sub-

much money, Oats unaltered. Holders of beans and peas
are more anxious to realise. At this day's market there was
a large supply of wheat, and the trade ruled dull; secondary
red wheats were Is per quarter lower ; the finest white wheat
realised 6s 2cl per bushel ; red, 5s 4d to 5s 9d. Grinding bar-
ley less in request, but good readily found buyers at 21s. per

THE FRENCH REPIA3LIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
M. ACHILLE FOULD, the Finance Minister, intro-
duced into the Assembly, on Wednesday, a Bill,
authorising the Bank of France to resume cash pay-
ments. As soon ai the circumstance was known at
the Bourse the Funds rose considerably. 'IM.
CIIARRAS and LATRADE have given notice of their in-
tention of to propose the following amendment to the
Budget of Receipts :—" From and after the Ist of
January, 1851, the duty on potable liquors shall be
abo!ished. During the interval the Government
shall draw up and present to the Assembly a project
of law for making good the deficiency occasioned by
the withdrawal of this impost."

The Assembly, by a majority of 320 to 267, agreed
t.O enter on the discussion of the Paris and Bordeaux.
Railway Bill.

M. inzEus left Paris on Wednesday for the
vacation ; he intends taking a tour through Belgium,
Holland, and Germany.
It is said that serious differences have arisen be-
tween the PRESIDENT of the Republic and the Minis-

, Letters from Toulon of the 28th ult. state that the
steamer Chimere, which had been sent on a special
message to Tunis, returned to Toulon on the 27th.
It found at Tunis the \Talmy (Rear-Admiral Du-
BOTJRDIEU), the Jupiter, and the steam-frigate
Cacique. The frigates PsyChe and Sane, the latter
of which had left Toulon in haste some days before,
had likewise arrived at Tunis, where they were to
remain until further orders. The Valmy, Jupiter,
and Cacique, relieved by the Psyche and Sane, left
Tunis at the same time as the Chimere, for Lisbon,
whither the rest of the squaron, viz., the Friedland
(PARS) VAL DESCHENES), the Hercules, the Jemappe,
Inflexible, and Jena, the steam-frigate Descartes, and
steam-corvette Caton, were to proceed. The squa-
dron was to remain a short time at Lisbon, and then
sail for Cherbourg.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The news of the battle of Idstedt arrived in Copen-
hagen on the morning of the 27th ult.
The following notice was immediately published
by the Minister of War :
" After an engagement which lasted two days, our
army has gained a decisive but bloody victory, and has
taken the city of SAlesvrig. We have taken fire can-
nons and 100 men. Our loss is great."
The German journals state that the case of Schles-
wig- Holstein is beginning to excite so much interest
at Berlin that an association has just been formed
there.

In Hanover a popular assembly was held on the
27th, to take into consideration the state of the
Duchies. About 4:000 persons were present. Two
petitions were drawn up—one addressed to the KING,
the other to the Cshinet—in both of which it was
requested that the Hanoverian army might be sent to
the aid of Schleswig-Holstein. On the same day a
popular meeting was held at Hildesheim, where an
address was voted to the KING to the same effect.
The Hanoverians have sent 100 Louis d'ors to the
Schleswig-Holsteiners.
