COMMERCIAL.

BALTIMORE, JUNE Is.
FLoua-The sales of Howard street Flour from
stores during the week. have fallen little if any short
of 5000 barrels, at prices ranging from IS Is to IS
and S74 per barrel cash, orinterest added. To-day
find variation in the market pare els having been
offered this morning at IS, and 3I1 per barrel,
which the larger holders are not willing to sell under
373 We therefore continue to quote the cash store
price Of Howard street Flour as last week. at IS
37a per barrel In the early part of the week the
wagon price was generally 1873; but number of
the dealers have since been paying I2t f8i, and
in some cases a fraction more. The fair wagon rate
may be set down to-day at I23 a6 isi.
The only transaction in City Mills Flour, of which
have heard this week. the sale Of small par.
Gel OF fresh ground at IS IS per barrel, 4 months
credit. In the absence of either transactions or in.
qulries, it is impossible to make correct quotation
although a range of 6 0Oa6 Is would, we believe,
embrace both extremes Of the nominal mark ct price
In the early part Of the week small parcels Of
Susquehanna Flour, in good ORDER were sold at Sc
l23 per barrel cash; and more recently, other small
parcels Of description nj 6, cash Some of the
holders willing to sell today at 6, cash. Some par.
GELS Of superior Sosquehanna (Columba) Flour, which
considered quite equal to Howard street, held
firmly at 25 per barrel. We therefore quote the
range Of this description at 6a625
1t may be remarked, that, in addition to the sales
noted above. parcels Of Flour have been shipped coast.
wise and abroad, on owners account, and that some
ducton of the stock in market has consequently taken
place.
We quote-oash prices per barrel

GRAIN Since cur last report there have been sales
Of Susquehanna Wheat to the amount of 10 10000
bushels, the quality of which was good at 81 IS per
bushel We Rave heard OF no sales beyond that rate,
and we quote good red, accordingly at l 20 IS.
Ordinary red wheat may be quoted at 81 a 20 MS in
quality. There is now but little, if any, Susquehan-
ma Wheat in market.
Owing to the short supplies, Corn has improved In
price. Sales of White and Yellow have been made
to-day, of ordinary, at 10 CENTS and of good at ~ cts
Good parcels would readily command the latter price,
and we quote i'll conformity
Sales Of Rye have been made on Thursday and to,
day at SIS cents per bushel,

As the opinion Of the Court on the third in
dctmea, against DR.. Watkins is long, and tra-
vels over nearly the same ground as before, we
do not think it necessary to republish it entire,
but give the following abstract from the Ma
,ional In:elligencer Of Friday last:
The UNITED STATES vs. r. WArKINs.-Ckief Judge
Cranch yesterday delivered elaborate and able Opt
Mon upon the demurrer the third Indictment found
against DR.. Watkins He commenced by stating that
the Court had been induced by the high importance
of the case and the objections which had been urged
against the opinion delivered in the preceding
most deliberately to examine and weigh the authorities
States, and to review the decision TO which objection
had been made. The result Of this review and re.
examination, entire appreciation Of their former
opinion, and the consequent Judgment Of the Court
upon the demurrer against the sulciency Of the in.
dictment.
The fundamental principles which the opinion of The
Court to sustain was, that i'll all indictments tor
fraud there be sufficient facts averred to lead to
the legal conclusion that fraud had been designed
perpetrated That fraud the conclusion OF law
from the facts alleged That where acts in themselves
innocent or not evidently and Of themselves rauS,i.
lent were alleged, the circumstances which attached
to them the illegal quality must be distinctly averred.
That frauds against the United States must be laid in
the indictment with the same distnctness and circum-
stantialty would be required in cases against indvi
duals and i'm both the means by which they perpe
trated must be set forth with precision.
The Court proceeded fully to point out the parts OF
their former opinion which had been Inexperienced
BY the Counsel for the prosecution, and to shew that
their are unent in the present had been founded
upon these MISUNDERSTANDING. Judge Thruston dis
sented, as before, from the decision OF the Court

From SPAIN. A letter from Madrid
states two facts somewhat curious in them
selves, and likely to lead to important con-
sequences. The first is, that the Court OF
SPAN has taken great offence at the Pope
Tor appointing Bishops to the sees of South
America, considering his nominations, with
the consent of the local and upstart Gov
ernments, rs recognition of their indie
pendence: the second, that the pretended
agent OF DIR. F'rancia, the despot of Para
quay, has been condemned ten years to the
gallles. With respect to the conservation
OF transatlantic Bishops, says the Times,
his Holiness had really no choice. IF he
had refused his sanction to their nominal
ton, the new states would have declared
themselves as independent of his spiritual
authority as they are of the political domin-
alton ofSpain. The Catholic church. there
fore, would have lost, and the Catholic
King would not have gained, by any re-
tractory disposition on the part of the Court
of Rome. The punishment of the imposter
representing himself as the agent of Fran
cla IS important, as showing that Ferdi-
nands Government is now aware of the
extent to which they have been duped, in
imagining that the willy and ambitious Chief
OF Paraguay intended to re-suhject the
drovince which he governs to the dominion
OF the mother-counIry, as long as he could
maintain its independence.
