Mlan, Juiy2i.-The Pope has published as
was expected, an amnesty Of all political Offend
ers. An exception, however, is made against SOL
diers and government employees, but their cases
will be inquired into, and det with according 10
their respective merits. The amnesty was re-
ceved with intense and boisterous rejoicings BY
the people. The Pope has also won The love Of
The people by cutting down the expenses Of his
household. He is thus lar The NEST popular Pope

THE MARKETS.
EUROPEAN Coax TaADE.- LoNpoN.-The sale
of homegrown Wheat during the week ending
July 81, has been slow; the same time prices
| have been pretty well supported. The transact
ions in foreign were 10 a very limited extent,
purchasers being unwilling 10 give the terms
| asked. The sale OF American Flour on the 9th
July was dull The best brands Of the United
States were held Tor 26s. per barrel. In conse-
ouence OF the Potato disease having increased
rapdly in Ireland, there was some inquiry, on
the date alluded 10, for Indian Corn for ship
menl 10 that place; but the high terms asked by
holders checked business. On The 29th July, The
trade for Wheat was slow atthc prices current on
the 9th July. Little business was transacted on
| the 3lstJuy, and no change either OF an advan-
cling or declining character could be noted.
| Throughout the week terminating July 3lst,
Flour hung very heavily on hand. The nominal
TOD price of town.made has remained un-
changed; but country marks, as well as the COM
mon sorts OF United States and Canadian, have
been parted with at rates which would not have
been accepted previously.
LlvERpooL-The visit of Prince Albert hav-
ing closed all our public markets during the last
three DAYS of the week ending August tlrs we
have itle to report since the sailing OF the Great
Western. The business transacted on The 2S,h
/ july was very iliUllcu, WUedt 0CIiuCo ~N' w oS'

ta,ions of that day se'nnight. Indian Corn was
in demand for expectation to Ireland.
The sales Of -four have been very large. the
latest prices obtained being Western Canal 25s.,
Philadelphia and Baltimore 2Ss. Sd. o24s., New
Orleans 23s. 10 23s Cd Canadian 24s. 10 25s. 6d.
the latter price oaly for extra qualities. Uni
ted States wheat has been sold as low as 5s. I'D.
Tor inferior qualities up to 6s Cd. for choice sam
pies. Indian corn, under The pressure OF heavy
arrivals, declined 10 25s. for yellow, and 27s for
white, but has recovered again, and IS now sale
able al 2Ss and SIS. respectively. Corn meal
also declined TO l3s per bbl, but is now more ca
silly sold al l5s. The duty on wheat has now ad-
vanced 10 6s., with The prospect OF reaching the
highest point, (say los. per quarter,) within
few weeks.
