LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(BY EXPRESS.)

LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
The arrivals of all articles of home growth up to our market
last week, coastwise, as well as by land carriage and samples,
were on a very limited scale, and the receipts from Ireland and
Scotland were trifling.
From abroad, however, the imports were large, viz., 66,197
qrs. of Wheat, 4,471 qrs. of Barley, 20,817 qrs. of Oats, 3,027
qrs. of Bcanq, 13,182 qrs. of Indian Corn, 76,041 barrels and
1809 sacks of Flour.

Fresh up to-day, the receipts of 'Wheat of home produce Were
very moderate—say about 900 quartersl6oo of which were of the
present year's growth, and of fair average quality, although the
weight was by no means heavy. The large failures which oc-•
carted here last week had a very prejudicial effect upon the
Wheat trade, notwithstanding the heavy rains which fell in the
early part of the morning.
Still, however, in some instances, selected qatilities of Eng-
lish 'Wheat sold at prices about equal to those obtained on this
day se'nnig-lit, but the middle and inferior qualities were with
difficulty disposed of at a decline of Is. per quarter. At the
close of the market a fair clearance had been. effected. There
was a very large quantity of foreign Wheat on offer, in, for the
most part, middling condition.
Owing, in some measure, to the great pressure of American
Flour upon the market, and the probability of a further decline
in the quotations of Wheat, all kinds of Foreirio were heavy, and
when sales were pressed, the quotations ruled Is. to, in some
instances, 2s. per quarter lower.
The Sound list shows a large number of vessels, laden with
grain, bound to England. Notwithstanding the quantity of
Barley brought forward was by no means large, compared with
that exhibited for some weeks past, the Barley trade was heavy,
at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, last week's cur-
rencies.

The quantity of Malt on offer was trifling in the extreme;
nevertheless, the transactions in it were in retail, at barely sta-
tionary prices. Scarcely any English Oats were brought for-
ward, but the supply of Foreign was good.
The Oat trade was in a very dull state, but we can notice no
further decline in value. There was a.slow sale for Beans but
last week's quotations were mostly supported. ,
We had a very dull sale for Peas, the supply of which was'
chiefly composed of the last year's growth, and prices had it
downward tendency.—lndian Corn was in good supply and;
heavy demand, on somewhat easier terms.
The Flour trade was excessively heavy, but we can notice no
actual depression in valne, although sonie of the importer's
offered on lower terms.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
The Beef trade was in a sluggish state, at, in some instances,
a decline in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight of
2d. per Sib. ; the highest figure for the best Scots being 4s. 4d•
per sib. Nearly, or quite, the who`e of the prime Beasts we_Are
disposed of ; but at least 300 of the inferior Beasts were turne``
out unsold.
With Sheep we are again tolerably well supplied ; yet the
Mutton trade was steady, though we cannot call it brisk, at
prices about equal to those paid last week, the prime Downs
realizing Is. 4d. per Slb.
Veal trade firm at full prices.
Pork trade in a very depressed state, but prices tolerably
supported.

The late Miss Colyer of Farmingham, Kent, has be-
queathed a legacy of £lOOO, to King's College Hospital.
There are sufficient funds in the treasury of Pennsylva-
nia to meet the payment of the interest due in the present
month of August.
NORTH WARWICKSHIRE.—At the close of the poll the
numbers were, for Mr. Newdegate, 2913; Mr. Spooner,
2451; and Mr. Leigh, 2284.
EMIGRATION OF CHILDREN.-011 Friday the Colonial
Land and Emigration Commissioners gave notice at Lloyd's
that they require a vessel of 400 tons to convey emigrant
children to Sydney and Port Philip.
SALE EXTRAORDINARY.—The Preston Guardian of
Saturday last announces for sale a " mayor and foal."
Any town wanting a chief magistrate will, therefore, have
the opportunity of purchasing one, with a promising colt,
which in time may serve for an Alderman.
DOMESTIC ECONOMY—" To MAKE TROUSERS LAST."
—To do this you must instruct your tailor, when he builds
you a suit of clothes, to make your coat and waistcoat first,
by which means he will make your trousers last.—Matt•
in the Moon.

THE POLISH TRIALS.—At Berlin, the proceedings of.
the 3d closed at a quarter past three in the afternoon.
Amongst other statements, M. Miroslawski declared that
the.conspiracy was directed against Russia, and that it
was not their 'intention to re-establish Poland within,
its limits of 1772 ; and no projects were entertained rela-
tive to the Duchy of PoSen. A sham attack was projected
on Posen, to put the troops on the wrong scent.
EXTRAORDINARY* MODE OF ADVERTISING.—A mer-
cantile- house -at• Berlin has proposed to all the railway
companies of Germany to supply all their carriages with
silk blinds for nothing. They simply propose to reserve
to themselves the right of changing the blinds as often aS
they may please, and they require the companies to engage
themselves not to accept during fifty years, either for
money or gratuitously, any blinds but theirs. Their
object is to cover the blinds with advertisements.--

THE ROCHESTER HEROINE.—The noble act of Sarah.
Rogers, an orphan girl, who, it will be remembered,
rescued a child, the infant soft of Mr. Tucker, a clerk on
board the Poictiers,", by descending into a well 63 feet
deep, at Rochester, has received from the Queen a dona-
tion of £lO, as a mark of her Majesty's gracious approval
of her courage and fidelity ; and her Majesty the Queen
Dowager has also been pleased to forward £25. The
money raised for the poor girl will either be invested la
the funds, or purchase a life annuity.
THE MEXICAN WAR.—The well informed New York
correspondent of the London Times says, under date of
July 31,—" Yesterday the steamer Washington arrived
in this port, after a passage of fourteen days and sonic
hours, from Southampton. An English paper of the 15th
of July, brought by the Washington, commences an
article, ' The Mexican war is evidently drawing to a close.'
I wish I could say I entertained a similar opinion, but I
cannot. I can see no present prospect of peace, and ret
it may take place in ten days. This government Polly
heartily sick of the war, and none more so than Arr.
It is a ridiculous false pride that induces him to continue
it. An open, frank, and manly policy would secure 8
treaty of peace in one month. Such an elevated states-
man as Henry Clay would soon accomplish this desirable
object. I regret to add that I fear Mr. Polk is more
anxious to terminate the war than Santa Anna or his ad-
herents, but he knows not how."
NEW ZEALAND.—By advices from New 'Zealand, to
the. 20th of March, we have received rather important
intelligence. The accounts state that the land question
between the natives and the Governor had been adjusted:
at an interview held between his Excellency and several
of the chiefs. The amount of compensation to be receive";
by the natives is £5,000 ; namely, £2,000 for the dispute('
lands-at Parra% and £3,000 for the Wairau. The moue%
was to be paid down in five yearly instalments. £1,60"
of the amount is to be paid down this year; two payments
of £l,lOO will be made in the next two years, and the re-
mainder will be paid in the two following years, the last
instalment being paid in 185,7. By the concession just
made, the government obtain all the land from Wairau t°
the farms comprised in the New Zealand Company's limits-
On the middle island, also, considerable quantities 0"
land have been given up. The natives during the dis-
cussion, evinced great anxiety about the release of BO
Rarahu, but the government declined giving him up.
THE EMIGRANT FEVER:.--According to the advice!
bf oaght from America, by the Britannia, the emigrant
fever, as it is termed, has lost much of its terror in Isresf
York. It has not extended to the settled pOpUla".
tion. Very few have been affecntd by it, and of those
few a small portion only have died. In Canada its ravages
have been, and continue_ to be, most appalling. The va-
rious public journals concur in representing it as of an
alarming character. A Montreal paper, under date of
July 24, says, during the week ending that date there
were 235 deaths • during the same period last year 60 ;
increase 175. On Saturday there were 1,712 sick in the
emigrant sheds, and 32 deaths in the preceding 24 hours-
The St. John's Herald states, that of the emigrants wb°
left Great Britain for Quebec alone, 4,095 never reached
their destination, having died at sea or at quarantine;
About 600 more perished at sea by shipwreck, maids'
about 4,700 deaths up to the 30th June. The ship Avon:
Johnston, of St. John's, was at Grosse Isle, with all the
crew and passengers sick, and 136 out of 550 dea
Small-pox has again broken out on board her Majesty's
troop-ship Apollo. One of the Church of England
nisters, the Rev. W. Chatterton, Lieutenant Lloyd, R-01.1
Mr. Crispo, Captain Christian, of the ship Sisters, an
several others, are also dead.
IMPORTANT TRIAL IN FRANCE.—It may be recollected
that, some year and a half since, aM. Dujarrier, the Ills:
nager and proprietor of the Presse, Paris newspaper,
killed in a duel, the circumstances of which appeared 5`,/'
suspicious, that his antagonist, M. Beauvallon, was tri n
for murder at the assizes at Rouen. He was, after a trig
which attracted vast attention at the time, acquitted,
sentenced to the payment of a large sum (20,000 f.) to the
family of the unfortunate Dujarrier, as compensation e'
their loss in the death of their relative. Being unable
.orei
unwilling to pry this sum, Beauvallon absconded. TDA
principal witness in favour of Beavallon was his secont!
on the occasion, a Viscount Esquivilly, whose evidence,
went to disprove a most important allegation, .thal,'
Beauvallon had, on the morning of the duel, prepare!
himself for the rencontre by shooting at a mark. Sing
et
the trial of Beauvallon, however, other evidence, in direct
contradiction of Esquivilly, has been obtained. He (Vs:
quivilly) was in consequence arrested, and on ThursP%
last brought to trial before the Court of Assize of Pall!:
Grateful for his services, Beauvallon—under a protectio7
against the evil sentence existing against him—tendereri
himself as a witness for Esquivilly ; but acquitted hintse'a
so unsatisfactorily, that he was taken into custody en„.
committed to prison to undergo prosecution for perjurJ.
This affair occasioned a great sensation in Paris on SaV
day.
