pRospEcrs OF TnE HARvEsr.--The reports
which have reached us since our last, respecting

viously felt on The subject. Sharp irosts were ex-
perienced on the nights OF the Odd and 23l in
-
The more backward parts Of the Kingdom may
fare even worse than The South; and as The reports
OF the yield from the forward districts do not By
any means improve as thrashing is proceeded
with, the estimates OF The results OF the harvest
become daily more dscouraging.
By our Scotch adviceS, we learn that harvest
operations, which had been interrupted b heavy
rain, had again been actively resumed il will,
nevertheless require some weeks Of dry weather
10 gel in what is still abroad. The lively reports
from the South had caused sellers OF Wheat 10
demand materially enhanced terms. al Eiin-
burgh the article rose about IS per or, and
at Glasgow the rise amounted 10 Is. Cd. pc. boil,
being equal 10 IS. per Or. Much anxiety was felt
there TO ascertain in how far the Potato crop had
been injured by the disease SO prevalent in Eng
land We incline 10 think the mischief is no,
great in that part OF the kingdom.
From Ireland the complaints in regard to this
matter are, however, becoming general. 10 The
Southern parts Of the Island The bulk OF The grain
had, we are informed, been got in, and even in the
North the fields were fast being cleared. On the
whole we are disposed TO think that the harvest
will turn out better in Ireland than on this side OF
the channel. The rise in The English markets
had had the effec, OF causing an advance in the
value OF both Wheat and Oats.

week, at the sailing OF the Great Britain, still CON
,nues 10 an inactive stale. The quotations on
most descriptions, except Sea Islands, have reced-
ed an Id. per ID, and al the time We write, the
market is heavy with downward tendency
The Committee of Brokers have declared The price
for the present week 10 beloved, 4!d.; Mobile,
Aid; and Orleans 81.
The Corn market continues firm. Large guam
lies of -four are daily arriving from the U. ).
and Canada; and, from The nature oil the aaviceS
recently sent across The Atlantic, the supply from
those quarters, there is every reason = believe,
will increase. From the canse, at which we
glanced in our last publication, The import rate on
wheat has advanced 10 lSs.-the result OF the in
ierior qualities thrown on the market. The i'm
port duty on -four is now los. l0d. per bbl. In
some instances, recently, Irish flour has receded
Is per sack, and Canadian 6I per Dbl, inhu
enced by the large arrivals from the West which
amount since Monday 10 near 5000 bbls.
The Produce markets are not 50 active as they
have been. Rice is in less demand. Sugar has
receded little, with less inquiry, while the price
ofioreisn coffee has improved shade.
The home demand for iron is daily on the in-
crease-,he manufacturers are working hard
prices are well supporied-and The ira .e is as
brisk as il well can be. The export trade, on the
contrary, is dull. Pig iron commands, in Glas-
gov, FL l5s; in Liverpool FIVE guineas. In this
Town, Bars realize GO; Hoops IlO lbs; Sheets

The Wool trade is brisk-a sure proof of the
healthy slate oil the Yorkshire districts. The in
PRODUCTION Of the Woods OF the United States into
England is new feature in this branch OF bust
ness; and the success which has hitherto attended
the speculation must lead 10 a more extensive
import from the other side Of the Atlantic.
The commercial accounts from the East by

rable. A fair demand was experienced for cot
ton manufactures, and yarns were shade higher
than theprevious month. Woollens were dull OF
SALE and 10 the Metal market, more especially
in copper. good deal OF business had been done
al better prices. The trade with China is stated
10 be- going on favorably, and the negotiations for
the haal possession ofChusan were progressing
rs well as could be expected.
The rate of interest in England is rising, in
consequence OF the scarcity OF money, superin-
duced by railway speculation. Some OF the large
discount houses decline 10 take any more bills al
an interest of less than three per cent English

FRANcg-Paris, Sept. 30-Much attention has
been paid in this capital, both by the press and
the public, TO the recent arrivals from the United
States, with respect TO Mexico. The probability
OF war or no war has been discussed; but all jour
nails and all parties are unanimous in thinking
that II would be the very height OF folly for Next
co TO attempt hosiliiies
The tale OF the Times Of London, OF The find
ing of slave shackles in the wreck Of rhe noble
American Vessel the Missouri. has been receiv-
ed in Paris with varied feelings of contempt dis.
belief and indignation. Allour journals without
a single exception, designate it as falsehood;
many characterize il as a most infamous calum-
nv; and some think it a lie 50 mons,rously STU
pid as not TO merit the honor OF an answer
Washington Irving's arrival at Bordeaux,
from Madrid, was announced some days ago, and
il was said that he was entrusted with special,
