The grain crops have been gathered in on the
British islands, and the general impression is that
wheat will be an average yield Oats the same.
Potatoes, owing TO disease, everywhere failure.
The news from America announcing that the
American government had made overtures of peace
to the republic Of Mexico, caused great change in
the aspect of Mexican affairs, and produced quite a
revolution in the market value of that stock.
France.
The Chamber Of Deputies opened on the l7th,
with the usual speech from the throne, which was
received by the steamer Of the 18th August. The
proceedings Of the Chambers have since been con-
fined to the Verifcauon Of the election Of each depu
ty. When this is completed, they will return an
answer 10 the kings speech TO which the peers have
already sent up their reply.
Joseph Henry, who fred at the king on the 29th
July, has been tried by the peers, found guilty and

doubt is entertained that the fellow is insane. His
MSS letters and his conduct prove IT, During the
trial he expressed a wish to be condemned TO death
but new state policy towards these regicIdes has
prevented the realization of this ambitious desire for
"heTo worship"
Considerable dscussioa has taken place 10 the
French journals relative to the alterations in
the American tariff.
The Constitutional thinks the tariff still too high
and enforces on the American government the
cessity of establishing docks and "shirs pots"
Ireland.
Hostility continues among the Irish people to-

gradually removing the prejudice. Turnips are in
sound state, and will compensate for the loss Of
the more popular escuent.

The Bank Of England has lowered its rate Of in

In last report of this market trade had an an

On the 25h ult. the improved state of the weather
had depressing effect on trade. The sale Of wheat
confined to retail, and prices were the same as
those Of that day se'nnght Indian corn realized an

tuating since the last report Prices during the
week ending August Gath advanced As. per quarter
and at market a further rise took place, but in con-
sequence Of the high pretenslona of sellers, the
transaction ofextensive business was retarded.
FoREIGN--Free wheat had rather restricted sale
but prices continued to advance, did -four, which
was in good demand, particularly fresh brands
about 2ss. per barrel, duty paid. The weather bav-
ing changed for the better permitting agricultursts
outstanding crops, the grain trade has been
influenced thereby, and purchasers have manifested
a reluctance to continue operations at the enhanced
rates.
Business was dull at Markane on the 2Sh ult;

yious prices were pretty well sustained. On the 3ls
