The above is the result Of Yesterdays mar
ket. and shows serious decline in breadstuffs.
a panic has decidedly taken place, accelerated
by the gradual downward tendency Of the late
London markets, and highly favorable state Of
the home crops, and the stiffness OF the money
market.
In the London Corn Market on Monday a
reduction upon wheat Of 5 TO los per quarter
took place. We have no quotations TO give OF
Yesterdays transactions.
Parliament has been dissolved, and the new
elections are proceeding vigorously. So far
as the returns have been made, they show a
complete triumph for the free trade principle.
Lord John Russell, who will form the new
Cabinet, has been reelected for the city OF
London.
The prospects Of the harvest continue I'M
exceptionally encouraging, and everywhere
promising an abundant yield. II has already
commenced in several OF the Southern eoun-
ties. The crops of wheat, oats and barley, are
unusually healthy, and the potato crop, not
withstanding all that has been SAID about the
temperance OF the rot, is affected TO a very
insignificant extent.
Reports from Ireland are equally glowing
and famine and disease are rapidly vanishing.
The accession Of the prelacy priesthood gen
try Of the country 10 the old Ireland party are
large, and the weekly contributions steadily in
creasing. 1t is expected that large proper
ton of Repealers will be returned to the inpe-
rial Parliament at the election.
the remains of Mr.. O'Connell were embar-
ked at Brkenhea for Dublin on Sunday. where
they arrived on the following day.
Several heavy failures have occurred in the
corn trade, and many others OF serious char
acter are unprecedented.
The elections Of members olthe new Parlla-
ment seem TO have created quite an excite
ment among the people OF Great Brian. I'm
portant changes have taken place on both sides,
but the ministry on the whole have gained IN
strength and influence.
In London, Lord John Russell, Mr.. Patti
son, Baron Rothschild and Mr.. Masterton. all
free traders, and friends Of the prese MT Wing
administration, are elected. In Liverpool, two
ree-traders, Mr.. Caldwell and Sir Thomas
Birch. are elected. Mr.. Golden has been re-
turned for Stockport, and MIR, Bright for Man
chester, the latter without opposition. Sir TO
bert Peel is returned as usual for Tamworth,
and it has been confidently affirmed that he
will enter into alliance with Lord John Rus
sell. who is TO be raised to the peerage, and TO
conduct the business OF government in the up
per house, while Sir Robert Peel resumes the
leadership Of the Commons.
On the other hand, Lord John Russell has
lost some firm supporters; among them three
members of his Cabinet, viz /: Mr.. Macaulay
Sir John Cam Hobhouse Of Nottingham, and
Mr.. Halves of Lambeth. The county cleo
ions have not yet taken place.
If the liberals gain upon the whole election,
as we have supposed, Is seats from the Peel
ties and 35 from the protectionsts, the num-
bers will then stand thus

This would give the liberals majority of
eight over the two sections of conservatives
This. we are convinced, is not far from the re-
suit which will be arrived at; and we should
not be much surprised to find, instead Of a ma
otitv on any side, an exactly even division OF
the House Of Commons.
The Earl of Dalhousie has been proposed
as the new Governor General of India, and
Sir Henry Poltinger as Governor o. Madras.
Sir Harry Smith, the hero of Aliwal, is TO sue
coed Pottinger as Governor OF the Cape OF
Good Hope
The Queen Of Spain having left Madrid for
her summer residence at ST. lldefonso, her con-
sort contrary to her expressed wishes, mani
tested so strong determination to take posses
sion of the vacated palace at the capital as to
render il necessary for the Minister of War TO
forbid his entrance He gratfes himself by
riding into Madrid daily. The welfare of the
kingdom renders itimperative that this unhap~
py state of things should be termin aied.
In Portugal all remained quiet when Colo
mel Wylde left Lisbon by the Iberia steamer,
which has brought intelligence from Oporto 10

formation OF the new ministry proceeded slow

RuMoREp ABpIcArloN OF THE EMPEROR
OF PRUSSIA,
We translate the following paragraph from
the Havre Journal Of August, ID:
"FRoNrERs OF POLAND. 25th July.-The
approaching abdication OF a certain illustriouS
parsonage is regarded as certain. People con-
meet with this rumor fndn cial transactions
which have recently produced so profound a
sensation.
at is also asserted that this august person
age will end his days in Italy. Ii is not belle
we'd that this event involves any change in the
laws of succession to the throne. 1t is certain
that this august parsonage is in condition OF
much suffering"
FtRE IN RUssn-On the 22d nit, a terri
Die fire broke out at kasan, in Russia, which

hles 600, 000f) TO be distributed among the
persons whose property was destroyed. and
81 900 roubles towards the expenses OF re con-
slrucung the houses.
