During the whole of the past week, up to Friday evening, the
weather had become as favourable as possible for bringing the
crops to ►naturity, which with the release of all British Colonial
Wheat and Flour at the lowest duties on that day, paralized the
demand, and caused a timidity in some of the holders, and a few
sales were made at a decline of 6d to 9d per 70lb on Wheat, us 6d
per barrel on Flour, 3d per 45 lb on Oats, and 2s to us per 210 lb
on Oatmeal, from the previous highest quotations—which indeed
were almost nominal, sales thereof having been effected to a very
small extent, and only to millers and dealers, whose immediate
wants did not permit them to wait the release of the Canadian;
but on the morning of Saturday we had torrents of rain—almost
equally so during the day following, and the weather having an
appearance of again becoming unsettled at this our very critical
period, there was a little more confidence in both sellers and
buyers yesterday, although the Manchester Corn market was-very
dull on Saturday.
The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports was reduced on Friday
2s per quarter, on Flour Is :Aid per barrel, on Barley, Indian Corn,
and Buck Wheat, and on Beans is 6d per quarter; and on Wheat
and Flour from Canada the lowest duties were then payable of lid
per quarter, and aid per barrel, as anticipated; very confident
expectations continue that Foreign Wheat and Flour will be at
their lowest duties in September, and thus a very large quantity
of both articles remain locked up from public use, at present,
though much wanted, and which, by the adoption of a fluctuating
scale for an alteration in the present Corn Laws, frequently
suggested by us, and in which we have hitherto seen no improve-
ment proposed,—would have been wholly released for home use at
a duty of as per quarter and 2s 6d per barrel on Friday the 13th
instant,—the aggregate average being then above 66s ;—but the
duty is still 18s 8d per quarter, though our prices of fine Wheat are
I Is to 12s per 70 lb.
Reaping is very partially commenced in this district, but it is
thought rather prematurely; and reports are not unfavourable as
to quality or quantity ; harvest not expected to be general till the
end of this month, though in the southern counties they are as
usual a few weeks earlier than with us.

During the past night we had a very severe thunder storm, and
the rain fell in torrents, which must have done injury to the crops,
though it is to be hoped it fell very partially ; in consequence of
which a further decline was checked at this day's market, and sales
to a fair extent were made of every article in the Corn trade at
about the decline above mentioned, whilst many holders abstained
from offering to sell; under such circumstances, capriciously fluc-
tuating witn every change of weather, quotations will vary, and it
is no easy matter to state them correctly—which we endear our to
do in our prices current below.

WITH ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN ILLUSTRATIONS.
Printed for the Proprietor, and Sold by L. and G. SEELEY,

Fleet-street, London

*** Of the 75 Churches desCribed and illustrated in this
work, 42 were erected by Sir Christopher Wren shortly after
the great tire : a connected series of views of these buildings,
such as is here for the first time published, cannot fail to be
interesting both to the admirers of that great architect, and
to the promoters of Church Building in the present day. Of
the more important, views both of the exterior and interior
have been given ; drawn and engraved by the well-known
artists and engravers, McKenzie and Billings, Le Keux and
Challis. The steel engavings amount in number to fifty-
nine, and those on wood, by S. Williams, to fifty-seven ; so
that the work is decidedly cheaper than of those usually de-
signated " Annuals." Of the descriptive part it may be
sufficient to say, that it has been pronounced creditable to
the Author, by all the most respectable periodicals. The
following highly favourable notices appeared at various times
during the publication of the work in numbers, and the names
of the periodicals attached to the extracts will be a sufficient
warrant for their impartiality ; but if it could possibly
strengthen this assurance, the proprietor pledges his word
that no one of them has been solicited, and they may there-
fore be fairly considered as the perfectly unbiassed opinions
of the various editors.
CIVIL ENGINEERS' AND ARCHITECTS' JOURNAL.—NO.
3.—" This very useful and popular work has arrived at its
eleventh number.... The author is entitled to the warmest
encomiums of the profession, for his efforts in the endeavour
to inculcate into the minds of the public a taste for this im-
portant branch of architecture."
THE ASIATIC JOURNAL.—" Three parts of this elegant,
acceptable, and very cheap work, have appeared, and they
do infinite credit to the artists and the authors. Each num-
ber contains two views of a Church, with historical and an-
tiquarian matter.
LOUDON'S ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINE.—" The two
numbers before us contain four exquisitely-engraved plates of
St. Paul's Cathedral,—a beautiful wood Engraving of the
Cathedral as it appeared before the fire in 1666, and others
of the monuments to Lord Nelson, the Marquis Cornwallis,
and Bishop Heber. The letter-press appears to be compiled
with taste and judgment, combining historical relation with
critical and professional remarks : and on the wrapper of
each number is given a glossary of technical expressions, for
the use of non-professional readers. The extreme cheapness
of the work, and the superior manner in which it is got up,
cannot fail to ensure it a very extensive sale."
THE LITERARY GAZETTE.—" This undertaking is worthy
of the rising talent of Mr. Godwin, and promises to be a
very complete and interesting production. The number be-
fore us is altogether a favourable specimen."
THE SAME. Nov. 10.—" This pretty little publication
proceeds with undiminished neatness and accuracy in its
graphic, and with increasing interest in its typographic de-
partment.

' Notices of the concluding number.

" This work is now complete, and comprehends a
valuable
collection of engravings, on steel and wood, of the
etro-
politau Churches, illustrated with descriptions at once
lar and erudite. It makes a very handsome book, at pope_reasoluble price, and we trust that the patronage of the public
(which it well deserves) will excite Mr. Godwin to extend
his plan."—Asiatic, Sept. 1.
" The 30th number of this publication has made its appear-
ance, and contains sketches of nine of the metropolitan
churches from St. Alphage's London-wall, down to St. Bo-
tolph' s Aldgate. Many interesting historical facts are brought
into notice in this series of brief, but careful notices, and the
vignette woodcuts, with which it is so freely illustrated, are
of a very neat kind. In this number there is, moreover, a
view of St. Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside, and another of St.
Stephen's, Walbrook, from the pencil of Mackenzie, which
are of more than ordinary interest. The latter especially
does much credit to one of the best architectural draftsmen
to
.whom the school of England has ever given birth.—Morn-
my Herald, August 16.
