TWO DAYS LATER FROM ENG.
LAND.
Neyu York, Nor. /.

has received the London Observer Of the
10th, and the liverpool Advertiser of the
18th, containing accounts two days later than
those brought BY che Hercules.
We are indebted TO mercantile friends for
the following letters, dated
LeOerpooi, Sept. 20, 1891.
Since our advices by the Hercules and
Cadmus, the Cotton Market has continued
steady, with . regular bu, not brisk demand.
In Ashes, Naval Stores, and Tobacco, there
is no change. Accounts received yesterday
of the London Corn Market, and an acciden.
sal firm day, caused q suspension OF the de-
mand Tor w heat and Flour, and the specu-
lators would have accepted lower prices.
Extract Of another letter, dated Sept. 90.
ssThs weather yesterday and the day be.
fore being dry, i; staggered the faith OF the
corn folks good deal; BESIDES, the price has
fallen IN London; bat this day we have had
good deal Of RAIN, and the weather looks by
no means settled; go that if this reaches you
in good time, before the accounts by the Her.
cules, sc. you need not hesitate to buy flour
freely up t, six dollars. "Rice, IL to co.
Other produce same as our quotations of the
18th. Demand for Cotton fair, price stea.
dy."
The Observer does not contain single ar.
ticie either respecting the affairs of Russia or
Turkey, or the state Of the markets. What
we have gwen below, from the Liverpool pa
pers, sufficiently bear us out in the opinion,
we stood alone in chi, city in advancing, that
the state OF the harvest in Europe d,d not
ju,iify the rise 10 the price of grain which
has taken place in this country, and which
appeared To Us The work of specui ,tinn.
The crops in the northern parts of England
may nave been partially injured by wet
weather; but, IN the south and west, we are
justified IN believing that the srouId was
cleared before the rain had comm. need. 1t
is not 81 iong since we were told In the Lon
don Courier, that grain OF every description
had fai!eu inirty per cent. 10 consequence OF
The ,er Orso,e prospect OF an abundant harvest,
aud we hateas ye, seen nothing, on which
We can rely with any certainty, to yvsrrant
she oeiief that IL has much more than reco
vered the price 1t brought previous To the
fall. All accounts from The continent Of Ev.
rope re, reaent the harve.t TO have been most
plentiful. Even were il otherwise, and that
the failure had been serious IN England, its
ports ,BuN be opened before this country
could derive any advantage from it; and this
is IN event not likely to happen soon, owing
to the powerful landed interes,, who will
strenuousiy oppose every measur' calculated
to create a competition with foreign pro.
ducts.
The King of England arrived in Loadon
on the evening of the 18Th Sept. One of his
first acts on his return, was to sanction the
deposition of Sir Robert Baker, the res ect-
able Bow.street magistrate, for the active
part his took in preventing the shedding of

ces ion Of he Queen. Another officer, 40 e

Immediately appointed to fill Sir Roberts

sequences of his turpidity. He is a Clergy

The Court Of Common Council of Lon
don are t give public entertainment in no.

for the effeciual means adopted by him to
preserve the public peace on the day of the

men murdered by the military at the pro.
cessiop Of the q leen's funeral.
Prosecutions have been commenced by orr
der of the Lord Mayor, against the London
Gas Company, whose establishments have
been declared a nuisance, II having been as
certained, beyond a doubt, that the river
Thames was rendered unfit for use by the

the Jury appointed TO investigate the matter,
stated, that the river was contaminated to
visible extent Of ct least 500 yards from the
ga, stream, aud that they had bottled some

most serions degree.
At the Old Bailey sessions, number of in.
divIdnals were csDialiy convicted, on the
