much as 81 qaintals Of these devodrers eve
ry day, the number did not seem decress-
ed.-They were as yet small, but their
devastations were most alarming. and it
was apprehended that the heat would Ell.
large both their size and Numbers. They
had only attacked the grass, but the corn
was expected to fall next a prey 10 their
rapacity.

LONDON CORN ExcHANGE-JUNE I.
Although the supply of wheat this morn
ing, was but small, it was fully adequate
to the demand. yet picked samples of our
growth obtained Mondays prices, but all
other descriptions are Is. per quarter low
er. Fine fresh oats went off rather freely
on full as good terms as On Wednesday,
but the stale and inferior qualities are Is.
per quarter cheaper, and very dull state at
that abatement. In barley, beans & peas,
there is no alteration.
Belfast, June II.
Since our last we have few changes TO
advise in merchan1ize. Business OF every
description dull and, as we before stated,
an Improvement must first take place in
England, before we can expect revival
here. However, We feel confident in STAT
ing. that this town has suffered less from
the pressure of the times than any other IN
the empire, of the same extended trade.
Butter Ioos. per cwt. AMI in good &C.
mand, and every prospect OF most alum
dant harvest.
Grain looks up in Ireland, but a reduc'
ton in price NAV be daily looked for
Teas, in good demand, on account OF
the additional duty and the article, by
referring 10 our quotations, will be found
very reasonable.

only were sold, when the sale was stopt:
the latter sold at los. Cd. the former at

of the new duties. The articles Of taxation
will be more numerous than generally ex-
pected.-The addition on coffee will be
4 SD on tobacco Tod pepper I'd, and
teas about ed per ID.
