LATEST FROM ENGLAND--But no MeaOs /!
On Saturday arrived atthis port, the fine
fast sailing ship Indian Chief, Capt. Ed
ward Watson, in the short passage of
81 days from London. To the polifcness
of Capt Watson, and an obliging friend
we are indebted for regular files of the
London Times, Morning Chronicle and
Public Ledger, to the 3Oth October, be-
ing the latest dates. Their contents are
utterly uninteresting-N reduction had
taken place. Iii the prices of Grain and
Flour, on the contrary, we are advised
that they were " advancing pretty IA
pidlv." The Times of the 29tli, states
that the quantity OF Corn i'll the Kings
warehouses is not above 200. 600 quar-
ters at the utmost, and that by The time
the British ports come to be opened TO
receive Corn, those ports from which #
should come will be blocked un by tbe
ice. BY the last mail from Holland II
appeared that the prices of Grain were
also rising OH The continent; and letters
from Hamburg stated, that the orders for
Wheat from England could not be execu-
ted within the limits specified, on account
of the briskness Of The demand. Letters
from Antwerp, however, informed that
vessels were loading with Grain TO start
for the English ports as soon as they
should be opened.
Exchange was declining: that on Paris
was at25 10. The variation in the foreign
exchanges IS ascrbed TO the expectation
of the ports being opened soon for the
importation of corn. Sugars had risen
2s. per clyt. IN consequence of the advan-
tage which the fall in exchange gave to
exports. Numerous sales of Stock had
taken place with view TO raise money TO
purchase foreign bills, which had become
a profitable business.
BelvoIr-Castle, the splendid mansion
Of the Duke of Rutland, uear Grantham.

ON the night of the 25th Oct.-It was only

LONDON, Oct. %.
We lament 70 see by the Gazette that
the average price of wheat, in the week
ending the 10Th inst. was OBS. Cd. We CO.
pied a paragraph from another paper,
stating, that the average of the last six
weeks OF the quarter went only to ascer-
tam whether the ports should be open
Tor TIE whole of the subsequent quarter,
or only Tor six weeks of the drarfer.
Upon reference TO the Act, 1t will be seen
that by the clear provisions of tile Act
# the price is above sos. the ports will
be open for the whole quarter. There
are, we understand, about 200. OO9 quar-
tiers of Foreign Wheat in granary ready
TO be brought out; and several vessels
are on their way from the Baltic with
gram; so thatno approximations need be
entertained of bread rising to higher
price.
