MARYLAND NOMINATIONS.

The two leading political parties in Maryland
have now finished their nominations for Congress
and the Legislature. and the canvass has opened
in earnest We hope the Wings Will arouse them
selves and fight with an earnest determination to
win a splendid victory. lie, the Wings Of Mary
lard determine to do their duty and their whole
duty, and the day will be theirs. We see very
general apprehension prevailing throughout tie
country that the Wings will be badly beaten ia the
Apr osching election. Brethren Of the The .'Old
Maryland Line" what say YET viii you or will
you not be beateaf You have but TO riH victory,
local chickering's and come forward as Tin days Of
yore.n and show the country that you are still
faithful among the iaiihless." We love the Wing
party of Maplsnd-we commenced our career
them in many "a hard-foughi FIELD" and should
be grieyed now to see the old and honored flag
trailing in the dust.
In the city Of Baltimore, the Looos, we fear, will
gain the election. We fear very much the talent
ed and useful Representative from Baltimore the
Hon. john P. KEssEDY, will be defeated. His
opponent is Col WIN. F. GILEs. a very popular
man, and one who has always proved victorious
when Candidate before the people of Baltimore,
The Native Americans have also nominated
JoHs MeKIs DUSeAs, Esq. a talented young law
yer, as their Candidate for Congress. Well, we
are always pleased to see our young ffiends-and
especially old ehHms-rising IN the world, aud
we should be very much pleased, at some future
day, to see MT Duncan in Congress. We are salts
fed this is very bad movement on the part Of his
friends--as be is entirely too yauog--~ants expe-
rience-more study and political acknowledgement
defeat is certain. Abide your time, friend John.

LONDON, August IL.
The weather has been very wet and
unfavourabe for maturing the crops since
this day week. We had very largo
supply Of English Wheat this morning, IN
addition "a grea, deal left over unsold
from last week; all the country markets
have also been overdone with deliveries
of Wheat from the growers. la conse-
quence, Notwithstanding the unfavoura-
BILE weather and reports Of the Wheat
crops. the supply for the moment has so
far exceeded what our mllers and the
trade could conveniently take off, that a
great deal still remained over unsold at
the conclusion ofto-3ay's market, though
offered at a decline of rs per quarter from
last Monday. Bonded Wheat neglected,
and middlng sorts selling Is to 2s per
quarter cheaper than this day week.
August Is.
Though the temperature has continued
low, and considerable quantity Of rain
has fallen in some part of the kingdom,
the weather he's, on the whole, undergone
a slight improvement since last week.
The showers have been of a more partial
character than those previously expert
euced, and the intervals OF sunshine oil
somewhat longer continuance; the crops
have consequently progressed, though
