Madras Papers to the 6th July. were received
yesterday, but they convey no newsof interest ;
Mziless indeed. it be interesting to state the best
news which could. arrive, namely, that the
whole of our Eastern Empire is tranquil and
.14)1160.41g. Silver Medals, as we yesterday
observed, are to be bestowed upon the Native
{)Niters who served in the Nepanl War.—
We highly approve of this mark of consideration:
Distant services and exploits are apt to be under.
valued, and it is only those who are inforMed of
the difficulties; fatignese and dangers of an East
India Campaign, who can properly appreciate the,
merits of the brave fellows who have asserted the
. bonour of the British- arms hi that clime.
General OCHTERLONY and the Supreme Govern.
ment of Bengal appear to be particularly entitled
to distinction and gratitude for the recent most
important and successful transactions inNorthern
Hindostan.

Some more American Papers havearrived,
ac-
compan'.ed by private -letters, which enable us to
correct the exaggerated statements lately publish.
• eel of the financial prosperity of the United
• States. The fact is, that the finances of that

country are, as we detected in the flourish giVen
to► the public, in a very low state ; while its coin-
tovrce languishes, and the distress in the different
States more than eqn4ls that which is felt in
Europe.

We have the Anti4itetioll to find that a very
flue Regiment of Infantry,- the. 85th, is ►ender lin-
osettiate Dialers to proceed to Manchester, to
strengthen the force under the command of (hit
active and vigilant O►'iicer, Sir J. BY NO, in the
Northern District.

Wheat and Flour are falling in price throughout
the Empire. Wo, the staunch advocates for low
price , sec nutting in this but a subject of regret.
For it is only a blow to the agricultural interest,
which we would support rather than depress,
without being a
bell t tt) the community : it is,
on the cow r;ary,.an injury to the country through
one of its most important branches, and, in fact,
nothing Init a new profit to the Monopoly nhicb
steps:between the grower consumer, and de-
itroys both. It has been contrived, that the
rates should be so high as to lead to the opening
of the forts;—the Public hat paid dearly for its
bread daring the last months, and the Farmer
(speaking generally) has scarcely reaped a single
advantage. The sales have liven, ton trifling for
any real servite:to Agriculture, and all that it has
ow to took forward to is, to sell its stock at a
depressed recto the Capitalists, who will garner
it up together with foreign produce, and resell it
to the Country at extravagant emolument.
We written this for yesterday, and out
remarks are strengthened by the following which
has since appeared in a Morning Print
" The late decline in the prices of grain has
been So extraordinarily -rapid, that we tire almost
led to suspect it may be the result of some sort of

scheme on the part-of the corn-Jealers to Me at
the ilwtation-clause in tin. ( urn Bill. Phis
idea is corroborated by our knowing that, in se-
veral instances, reftise grain has been .:largely
brought to market, and OKposcd of at any rate that
the purchaser chose to give. Whether the In-
spector may have, in any degree, included such
sales in the estimate on which he has to ground
his returns we know not ; but it is necessary that
a vigilant attention should be paid to this point.
We have, indeed, little doubt hut that the average
must be such as to oven the ports for wheat, bar-
ley, and perhaps oats, and consequently sir far at
least to detest any such plan as the one above al-
luded to : yet the subject, is oneof.n6 small im-
portance, and justifies some little anxiety On the
part of those who wish well to the general peace of
the community; which would he endangered during
the ensuing winter, if an artificial dearth were oc-
casioned by the artful manoeuvres of imprinciFled
men. The price of wheat, barley, and oats per

arter for the six weeks previous to the 15th inst.

must be 80s. 404'. and 275., respectively. On an
average of rive weeki, ending on, the 24 instant,
they were 00s. 104., 04., and 275. 54. The
oats, it will be seen, approach nearly to tie pro-
hibition price, and therefore in respect to this
species of grain some doubts may be entertained ;
but with respect to wheat, which is the most im-
portant, we can hardly suppose a, fair decline in
price sufficient to exclude foreign supply. At the
same time the price is by no means so consider-
able as to tempt a large foreign competition."
We are sorry to doubt the accuracy of this sup-

osition.

Consols rose 3esterday, at the opening of the
market, to 6:11, but, :hot afterwards declined ra-
ther below the price of •the day before. During
the rise, any favourable report WAS etaily circu-
lated, and it wns , that the Cu ANCELLOR of
'the EXCH tau ER would he able to get through the

next year, without a loath The hanking-house
of CrilLD and Co. brOught Janet y thou and pounds
into the market, early in the day, to buy Stock
for the Fund of Queen Anne7s bounty. The Com-
missioners for the Sinking Fund purchased their
Stock soon afterwards. There is a great deal of
floating Money in the City, as appears by:the
ptice of Exchequer Bills, which rose yesterday to
eleven shillings preniium.

to arrive at Dover this day. The Russian Am-
hasvidor is to proceed to Dover, to accompany
the Prince to London.

Accounts hove been received at LLOYDs', that
the ,"l1 try', of Loudon,- had arrived at Falmouth
from Buenos Ayres. She must have left about the
20th August, but her letters will not be delivered

BLAIN ; and Hie Triad, Duos, were to sail about
the 25th August ; the Grace, KaNN, about loth

A factious Print asks, " What would Gl►►sgow
have been at this day, without its tobacconists,
ironmongers, and weavers ?" If its tobacconists,
ironmongers, and weavers had taken up the trade
of politics, instead of sticking to the shop, the
forge, and the loom, it would have been an in-
significant town, and not one of the most pros-
perous-places in the Empire. -
At the period of the Revolution, when such de-
struction was exercised on the various Colleges in
France, hone suffered more the vengeance of the
.demagogues than that of the Scotch College at

cept the tine full-length original painting of
MARY► Queen of Scots, its founder, which was
lately discovered in a chimney, where it had been
hidden. It 'has been brought to Paris, anti is now

We understand that the Committee' for the distri-
bution of the Waterloo -Subscription,. of wl►iCh
Sir GEORGE BECKWITH was chairman, has passed,
and also communicated to him, an unanimous re-
solution expressive of the high sense entertained
of the talent evinced by hint in his situation as
chairman, and of their gratitude for hii punctuality

A DUEL PLIEVENTED..—.This morning a duel was
intended to have been fought near the Jew's
Harp, in the.Regeney Park, by two Gentlemen
of distinction, whose names we are not at liberty
to mention : the partici were prevented by the
interference of three Police Officers, who took
them into custody on their arrival at the appoint-
edspot, sand- conducted them to a coffee-house
near l3rrud•s•reet, where the difference, it is stat-
ed, was amicably settled.
