mail steamship 10 Boston, upwards Of sfl2,-
5000;of protested bills for non acceptance
were returned. 1t appears that the bills
were drawn at New York for corn spe-

agent had exceeded his instructions, they
were dishonored.
The official notice Of the Bank Of En-
gland, raising he minimum rate Of discount
TO 81 per cent, had revived all those discus

asitated respecting the power Of that esta-
blishment, and the. prudence with which
that power is exercised.

The alarm Of monetary crisis imme-
diateIy succeeding the excitement Of a gen.
:eral election, commercial affairs have not
improved since our publication Of the 4th
instant. The pressure for money has in
creased considerably, and general dislrust
continue to prevail, notwithstanding de-
cining prices Of grain, and the certainty Of
a harvest ofmure than au average abun-
dance. The produce markets, however,
have exhibited a considerable share of ac-
tiyity; aud The main articles Of general
consumption readily find buyers.
The failure in The corn markets Of Lon.
don, Liverpool, and Sligo, together with
very large arrivals Of foreign grain, have
produced complete paralysis of business,
and the deale;s only supply themselves for
the Immediate wants. IL almost tends to
mislead our readers at a distance 10 quote
actual prices, since each successive market
dav exhibits the unsteadiness oflrade. The
further reduction in prices recorded in our
last number, OF the 4lh inst, when what
was still declining from about 90s. per
quarter for The best description in the mar
ket, was checked BY the fall Of rain in most
parts Of The country, and at the Corn mar
ket in London on Monday last prices were
6rmer atrhe currency Of The previous Mon
day. New wheat sold at about 6Ss. per
quarter. But slill,he business was limited.

appearance Of the potato disease in that

Russia.-The Cholera is making such
ravages in the Russian army in the Cau-.
casus that nearly third Of the soldiers are
said 10 be sick in The hospitals, and some
regiments quartered in the lowlands have
LOST from fIly TO a hundred men in a SIM
Gle day.
The Circassians are said to have cut Of
The ears Of Russian General whom they
had taken prisoner, and 10 have sent them

sian commander in chief.
