files Of London and Liverpool papers to the
10th October, the day she sailed from Bis
toll.
The intelligence by this arrival is on the
whole favorable. The crops in England Ire
land and France, are better than was feared.
The Money market was a shade easier; and
although the price OF cotton had not adj
vanced, there was q fair demand at existing
rates.
The Great Western brought out 1913 pas
sengers.
She also brings out some specie from the
Bank of England, and has a general cargo
OF dry goods, silks &c. The specie is for
British service in Canada, and amounts to
over 100000.
The Great Western made her passage
out in twelve and a half days. The British
Queen was to sail November l.
We presnt below all the intelligence of
importance received by this arrival.
u. S. BANx.-The London Courier states
that Mr.. Jaudon has made arrangements to
meet all the engagements Of the United
States Bank, and that Messrs. Earrings will
be the agents for that establishment.
United States Bank shares sold at Geo, on
the 10th of October.
The Wheat Crop.-A London agricultural
paper says, "From many parts Of the coun-
try we have received an unusually large sup
ply Of information r~ealtive to the yield Of
wheat, and, as the season has now so far ad-
vanced, a pretty accurate estimate can be
form ed Of its value. On all heavy soils il ap-
pears that the quantity produced has been
hnrolv m arar,na ,nl tho nu,,tttv, corfo.p
ly cannot be called Of q superior description;
in some places the deficiency is very great;
but upon lighter soils, the produce is by far
greater than can be recollected for a series
OF years past, which observations apply to
our wh~eat.growing counties"
II was believed that the crops would prove
neither full nor short, but a fair average. In
Ireland, however, the deficiency was compu-
ted at one third and, taking the inferior quail
ty Of the grain into consideration, the short
ness Of the wheat crop was estimated at one
half.
France.-The Partisan intelligence is up
to the 18th ult. Fresh rumors of intended
in the cabinet were a1oat at Paris.
They seem, however, 10 have been suggested
by the arrival of NJ. Theirs in town,
than founded on facts deserving attention.
No change would, it wa generally believed,
take place before the assembling Of the Cham
bers.
Further arrests Of persons engaged in the
of the 18th May last had taken
place. The arrest Of NJ. Blansui, a leader
in the instruction, with several OF his accom-
plices, occasioned considerable excitement.
The reports Of the harvest are much bet
ter than had been anticipated, and the vine
were all highly satisfied. CONNER
cial distress, however, was great, and many
have taken place.
Spain.-Carlist factions still continue in
Spain, but they are gradually giving way to
The superior power Of the Queen. The for:
Of St. Gregory, Of Sorlanda, capitulated on
he 28th iultims, and this was the last strong
hold Of the rebels. The cavalry oil Carbon
had also submitted.
The East.-The harvest had generally
ailed throughout the Ottoman empire, Of the
fine weeats in particular. The price Of
grain was increasing in the markets of the
Black Sea. The Government had contracted
Ior a supply Of wheat at Tagonrog, at 244,
The kilogramme.
Russia has offered to place at the disposal
d the Porte $4,000 men, II lbrahim Pacha
against Constantinople.
The Alexandria correspondent Of the Lon
Ion Morning Chronicle, under date of Sep
25th, says:
The Turkish fleet is still here, and willinot

IRE relaxing in the little discipline they ever
lad; both officers and men are most discon-
with their position. As regards the
after; the question of interest to them is
leither Russian nor Egyptian; but they are
longer regularly paid, and are much worse
