Last night, at half past len O'Clock, the Great
Western arrived at Quarantine, having left Bris-
lol at five O'Clock ana thirty minutes ON the eve
ming of the 9Th inst. She has l43 cabin passen-
gers. The passage has been very rough one,
continued squalls and gnles prevailing.
The Grain trade has continued TO occupy
considerable share of public attention. as, under
existing Circumstances might be expected. Al
though the weather has been fine, generally speak
ing, the prices of wheat have not gone down any
thing like what have been expected, which cir
cumsrance strengthens the belief previously en-
ertaineu, that the harvest will be d. fcen'. Those
who OF The opposite opinion believe that prices
will down, and That shortly. This, OF course,
is u matter OF oplnon at pre- ,ent.-Ihe dury on
Foreign Wheat is now shlings and eight
pence the quarter. Whether it will come down
to one shilling per quarter is at present matter
entifey of speculation. The speculation for low
duties has been very extensive.
Among this passengers are several names Of
note, in all proiesslnns. The American Stage has
an addition in Miss Sheriff, the celebrated canta.

The unfavorable state of The weather, remarks

market, will have to contend with Influx Of for
eign corn, which Is now admitted at an import
duty OF only four pence per bushel.
The Corn Averages as published give Is and

unless this average shall be below 69s I'd tine
