Alderman Sir Benjamin Morris Wall has been nomi-
nated Mayor of Waterford for the ensuing year.
We underMand that the blank iron tray makers, of
Birmingham, have left their work, and refuse to return
to it unless their masters advance their wages twenty-

tinuously depreciated.

The accounts from New York, received per Caledonia,
state—

" The recent intelligence received from Great Britain
gave a very favourable account of the growing crops. A
wonderful change had taken place in the position of
affairs within three weeks previous to the 19th July ;
the weather during that period having ripened the grain
crops, so as te;remove the apprehensions previously enter-
tained of a deficient harvest. The season, both in that
country and throughout Europe, has been so far unusually
favourable, and the crops must turn out very large. The
prospects for a foreign demand for the immense surplus
we must have in this country, are at present very poor."
Trade in America was much the same, and money easy.
Stocks were rather flat again, as it is doubted whether
Pennsylvania will resume as early as was expected.
