A malicious paragraph, just at this time, has ap-
peared in a Parisian revolutionary journal, which is
marked with enmity not only to the Royal Family of
England, but also to that of France. It is to the effect,
that the King of Saxony, now on a tour in this
country, and about to become the guest of her Majesty
and Prince Albert, at Windsor Castle, has issued orders
to the authorities in his kingdom not to recognise, or give

‘„
the title of " Highness" to, the Dukes of Saxe Coburg
and Anlialt ; and the writer adds, that a similar order
has been made by the ling of Prussia, whose reception
in England was so flittering at the christening of the
infant Prince of Wales. Now this, on the face of it, is a
rank fabrication, and only a repetition of what was cir-
culated on the marriage of the Princess Clementina of
Orleans with the Prince of the Coburg line ; for no
third-rate sovereign, as the King of Saxony unquestion-
ably is, would venture to adopt a course that would wear
the semblance of insult, when a compliment was about
to be conferred upon him by the Queen of England,
who is so closely united to the destinies of the house of
Coburg. The same denial may be given for the King of
Prussia, the introduction of whose name was far fetched.
The position of Prince Albert, as the Consort of Queen
Victoria, is equal to that of the Sovereign in whose
kingdom he enjoys a hereditary title as ancient as the
Sovereign himself. But why waste words upon so
flagrant a falsehood? for this reason, that the cynics at
the Clubs (of course not the Carlton), are indulging
in
remarks on the indifference of the royal tourist in visit-
ing noblemen and driving about the country before pay-
ing his respects to her Majesty.—Caledonian Mercury.
THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—The long continued
drought is now beginning to excite feelings of solicitude
and appprehension in the minds of even the most
sanguine. From all parts of the country we
hear the same uniform complaint, and all accounts
agree in this—that, unless we are favoured with
an early fall of rain, the crops, generally specking, will
sustain irreparable injury. For several days past, we
have had many indications of a change, and the alteration
of the wind from the east to the south-west seemed to give

fluence upon the crops
wise, extracting from the roots and stem all the mois-
ture which the night]
ydews impart, and withering the
young and tender blade. The crop of
severely from the drought. From the abundance of
clover which at an earlier season covered the fields, the
best hopes were entertained of a good hay harvest, but
at the very time when moisture would have been most
seasonable, this important crop has been languishing
under a dry and arid atmosphere. In this neighbour-
hood oats are not suffering to the same extent
as in other places; indeed, they have yet a.
promising appearance ; but in many districts both
oats and barley are sustaining much injury, aed, if
not speedily relieved by timely showers, will be
both stunted and thin. As we stated in our last, wheat
retains somethin like vigour; potatoes have net suf-
fered to the extent we at -one time supresed; but the
sowing and brairding of turnips have been very much
retarded. Saturday was a day of genial heat, but yes-
terday the wind had once more veered round to the
north-east, and the atmosphere partook of that cold dry
character which has so much prevailed during the last
few weebs. —__asgou, Argus.
STATE OF TRADE.—There was a firm and steady
market for yarn yesterday, and ninny of the shippers
appeared disposed to offer contracts for future delivery.
For goods, too, there was a fair demand. In some cases
the buyers offered lower prices than before the holidays,
but generally the market was tolerably firm.—Man.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 3.
The market to-day has been but thinly attended, and the
business transacted upon a very limited scale, at prices
much the same as those of last week. There bas been
very little doing in the wool market, with no change
