PHILADELPHIA, July4, III P. M.
The Caledonia was Photographed o, Boston,
this morning. and landed her mails this afternoon.
She sailed from Liverpool on the 18th ult., and
brought therefore, fifteen days later news.
The prediction, relative 10 the Corn markets
subsequent TO the departure of the last steamer
have been fully realized in an upward. tendency,
which was maintained until the lllh. At that
time the best Western Canal flour had reached
46 shillings per Dbl; while Indian Corn had
been quoted at 60 shillings per quarter, and vel.
low at So shllings.
Owing TO the extreme iavorableness OF the
weather, and the promising appearance Of the
growing crops, the stability Of the market has
been materially shaken. The last three days
the market has been unusually dull and the
transactions of yesterday particularly were OF
exceedingly limited character. They closed with
40 Ais cd for best Western Canal Flour.
American Wheat Is us Sd per 70 lbs. In
dian Corn, white 4S 52s per quarter, which is
the very last quotation to DO obtained. Corn
Meal 24s 25s per Dbl. Philadelphia and Bal
timore Flour 39s 4Os. Ohio, 37s 3Ss, and
sour from 32s to 35s Cd. The rumors OF the re-
appearance Of the potato disease, though uncon.
frmed, have not yet subsidized; but they do not
exercise the smallest influence upon the market
The cotton market, though fuctuating in the
early part Of the month, [had now assumed q
seadier aspect, and advanced fully I'D per pound.

reported at full prices. Best U. S. prime Mess
is worth for old 65sa7Os per bbl.; new 6Osa63s.
Bacon has been fairly in demand; but fine sorts
are scarce. Hams sold very freely. stock small.
Hams in salt are now imported duty free. Cheese,
none in market, having been sold at full prices;
Lard has advanced 3s to As on fine sorts, and
% on ordinary qualities; market bare of fine des.
criptions Butter from the States is not in de-.
The continued favorable appearance Of grow.
ing crops. together with the suspension Of the
eKpor, OF specie. have produced revival OF con.
fdence and greater ease in the money market.
The Bank OF England now discounts more
freely, but the Funds are subject to considerable
fluctuations. Altogether, the monetary prospects
Of tho country are or a more encouraging char.
acter.

SOLDIERS WARRANTs.-The following
paragraph from the Baltimore Suns Wash
ington letter, opens very pleasant pros
pect to discharged soldiers and spectators
in their land scrip:
The spectators in land scrips complain bit.
terly OF the slow proceedings OF Col. Edwards,
The solicitor OF the pension office. In extern.
uation OF the worthy ColonePs guilt, would
remind your readers Of the law which authorizes
the President OF the United States to order, at
any time, clerks from one department to another.
In conformity to this law, the solicitor Of the
pension office has made requision for clerks;
bu. such is the pressure Of business in the differ
ent departments, that he was unable 10 obtain
any. In consequence Of this fact, the business
which has already accumulated in Colonel Ed
wards Office may require year to be finished,
and no soldier now coming in will have chance
to get through before that time. Perhaps this is
done to enable Congress in the mean time to
emend the law. n.
