She left Liverpool on the 18th of September,
bringing eight days later advces than those
brought by the Cambria.
The ship was anxiously expected for two days,
and the announcement OF her arrival in safety
has given great satisfaction.
The Great Western brings 121 passengers.
The steamship Great Britain was TO sail on
the 22d OF September, with large number
Of passengers and full freight
Lord Mecalf late Governor General Of Can
ada, is dead.
The approaching marriage of the Due de
Montpenser with the 1nfanta Donna Louisa was
TO be solemnised on the 24h inst.
Mr.. Golden, the Free Trade Apostle, after the
public dinner in Paris, proceeded to Bordeaux,
where another public dinner was given him.
The reported failure OF the potatoe crop is
confirmed by accounts from all quarters
OConnel estimates the expense of feeding the
people ill the next harvest afly millions Of dol
lars, which sum, he in,imsles, the Government
is ready 10 advance, If the necessity arise.
The repeaers seem to have unlimited conf.
dence in Lord Besborough, the newly appointed
Governor Of Ireland. Addresses from several Of
the corporations have been presented TO his
Excellency, to all Of which he has given formal
replies, containing specious promises as TO the
future conduct Of his administration.
The employment Of the people on the public
works in Ireland, will, it is clear, be carried out
on large scale. The present popular Lord.
Lieutenant has already issued nearly fifty comms.
sons for the holding Of baronial sessions in
different parts Of Ireland, and upon the investga.
ton and decision OF the magistrates in session as
to the condition Of their respective districts. he
will act.
The grain Markets in England, as on the Con.
tinent, are on the rise. Wheat is said 10 be
iterranean, but good one in central and north.
ern Europe. Maize in the south, and rye and
oats in the north. are poor crops.
Wilmer and Smiths Times says:
The Cotton market continues steady, and al.
though we cannot fix higher quotation. yet on
some descriptions there has been an upward in.
clination. Considerable anxiety prevails respect.
ing the new crop. The next accounts are eagerly
looked for, and prices will probably take their
complexion from the advces by theincomng and
the succeeding packets.
Wilmer q Smiths European Times says:
The improvement in business which we no.
ticed at the sailing OF the last steamer continues;
and matters are nearly in the same relative posi-.
ton as when we last addressed our readers. The
failure Of the potatoe crop influences the price OF
provisions Of every kind. Bacon and hams are
rising rapidly, as glance at our market returns
will show. Indian corn is also increasing in
value, as in fact is almost every kind OF grain.
Liuerpool.-Our market here has been like
that of London, rather animated, and for all
kinds Of grain the demand is extensive; large
speculative purchases were made Of barrel Flour,
both free and bonded. from the 4lh 10 the Bib inst
For Indian Corn there has been an extensive
inquiry, and the stock being much reduced, prices
advanced IS. 10 as. per quarter. On the 9th
inst, large operations were renewed. Wheat
sold currently at an advance Of fully cd. per
bushel on the rates OF that day week. Free
Flour may be quoted IS. TO As. per barrel dearer,
and bonded nearly as much.
The total advance on Indian Corn, from the
LIST to the 9Th instant, was IS. per quarter and oil
Meal Is. to IS. per load. A, yesterdays mar.
ket, lew thousand bushels Of foreign Wheat
were taken for Irish account, but having slender
attendance OF town and country milers, the de.
mand for consumption was limited.
The general runs OF Irish flour, although in
slow request, maintained late prices, and prime
marks OF new were held on rather higher terms;
whilst Canadian and States, moved less freely
than before, and merely sustained their previous
value: superior western brands in bond, how.
ever, continued to meet good inquiry, and
several thousand barrels changed hands at 27s to
20, the trade closing at 27s cd per barrel. lndi.
an corn, exciting much less attention than hereto
fore, barely upheld its previous value.
London.-The market for all descriptions OF
grain, and grain produce, has been in an active
state since our last report. and prices continue to
advance. On Monday, September 7, there was
q fair show Of wheat by land carriage samples
from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk; the quality and
condition good. In addition to an active demand
from our own mileIs several purchases were made
for shipment coastwise, and the stands were
cleared at an early hour, the prices realized being
in most cases 4s, and in some instances even 5s,
per quarter higher than the rates current on this
day seven. night.
For foreign free wheat there was as improved
inquiry, and holders succeeded in realising Is TO
IS per quarter more than on Monday last
There was scarcely sample Of bonded wheat on
sale, and we heard OF no transactions, though
there was an inquiry for France. The top price
OF town made flour was unsettled, some Of the
millers quoting ASS, and others sos per sack;
ship -four was is to Is per sack, and American Is
to is I'D per barrel higher than on this day week.
In Indian corn nothing Of interest transpred, but
the value Of the article has an upward tendency.
At the market held on the 9Th instant, the sup.
plies OF new wheat came forward in fine condi.
ton, and the trade was active at fully the ad.
vanced prices on Monday, but the subsequent
very general refusal Of which tended to check
