| SUPPLY or INDIAN MEAL AT Coax. Such is and
has been the extensive demand for this article
throughout the country since the price fixed at
xl0 per ton, that there has been issued from the
government depot at the Lee Mills, in this city, one
thousand tons per week TO the several reefcommit-
tees who receive supplies; that is, ten thousand
pounds worth Of Indian meal per week is issued
rom Cork alone, TO make up for the deficiency
caused by the failure in last years potato crop, in

private account, which, however, we have no op.

are assured, must be very considerable. cargo Of

fered to the relief committee at 30s per quarter or

tons that have taken place, and the prospects Of an

| Commercial.
The passing Of the corn-bill and of the tariff ha
caused the custom-house authorities IN London anC
Liverpool to be more than usually busy.
In Liverpool, during four days OF the prosen
week, nearly quarter Of million sterling was re
ceived for duties. The quantity Of wheat and hou
taken out Of bond has been immense. The rail
roads, the canals, and other conveyances have beer
loaded to repleton in transmitting this produce int
the interior of the country.
The object Of this extraordinary pressure was {,
secure the lowest rate Of duty which the little slid
ing scale which remains in force the next two year,
and half can reach. The duty up to Thursda,
was Is. per quarter on wheat, and Is. Sd per bar
rel on -four Yesterday the average of the six pre-
lceding weeks showed a decrease in the price, ant
an increase in the duty. A shilling higher OF
wheat was exacted, with corresponding increas
on -four.
This immense quantity of produce being thrown
simultaneously on the market, must, in the natur
Of things, bring down prices. The harvest, too
which promises TO be prolific and early, may, w
fear, produce something approaching to an agricul
tural panic.
But the release from bond Of this immense quaint
lty of provisions has not been confined breadsus
Large quantities Of American beef and pork, which
now comes in duty free, have also been freed from
the queens lock.
The weather continues beautiful. The intens

crops. The prospects of an early and an abundan
state of things on business Of every description can
not fail to be beneficial.
The cotton market is in a healthy but not a yer,
active state. Prices have improved a shade, ant
with the settlement Of the great questions of the day
there will probably be more confidence and buoy

had an injurious effect upon sales the o
a change stocks became depressed, and the dealer
show a reluctance to 60 beyond their most pressin,

Interregnum, is firm, and the stoppage Of many o
the railway projects of the session, by the chang

STATE OF THE cRors.-We are happy to say ths
since our last publication, the weather has bee
of the most encouraging and satisfactory character
copious rains have fallen, and refreshed and renew
the growing crops, so that whole fields which, fror
the intensity of the heat, had presented 'the ser
and yellow leaf'' of premature decay have bee
suddenly invgorated, and are now full of hope an
promise. Wheat is, we understand, well in fou
and unusually devoid of blight. The reports n
gardng the failure of the potatoe crop have not bee
loud and general at the date of our last publ
: cation. We hope they may turn out to be fctio
