Most of the Armenians and other Christians hold
ing authority in the government of the country
from Artin Bey, the Minister Of Foreign Affairs
downwards, are in disgrace, and Mohammedan
ideas are quite preponderan all the important posts
being occupied by Turks. Kanee Pasha is busy
Engaged in the supervision of all government ac-
counts, and many embezzements have been dis
covered, particularly in the stamp duties and sales
of gain; and Yoossetf Bey, a reputed son Of b.
ghos Bey, who has been for upwards of twenty
years in ofice has been put into prison. Artin Bey
has no authority whatever just now.
The Nile is this year rising very slowly, and the
new crops do not come down go fast usual Cot

little business doing, and many persons are leaving
the country from fear of the cholera.
India and China.
Via Trieste, on Wednesday, Geographic an
nouncepent of the departure of the overland mail
from Alexandria for Marseilles was received and
via Berlin, on Saturday, brief outline of the in
telbgence brought. Subsequently, on Saturday,
the express dispatches of the London journals were
received by courier, with complete accounts; ex-
tending from bombay to the ed June from Cal
cutta to the Sd July; and from China TO the .22d
June.
From Bombay we received confirmation of the
report that Sir Charles Napier had resigned, on ac-
count of the disputes with the Earl Of Dalhousie
Sir Charles and the Governor were at Simla and.
the former would set out on his return in October
The Earl's health had much improved. Affairs in
the PuDjaub were quiet, but executions were very
numerous ct Lahore. A sepoy had been shot by
the Afleedees; but there was no proof that any of
the chiefs were accessory to these acts of indivi
dual aggression, and the communication through
their country continued uninterrupted. A plot had
been discovered TO assassinate three British Off
GERS whist travelling from Peshawur TO Kohat.
Thirty nine Seikh prisoners had attempted to master
the vessel conveying them down the Gauges.
They seized the murkes of the guard appointed over
them, and fired at every white man they saw,
killing two or three, ard wounding about the same
number. Two of the Seikhs fell victims to their
own designs. The mutneers had possession of
the vessel Tor some time, and, having obtained
some boats from the shore, succeeded in effecting
their escape but before many hours elapsed, Sc
veral OF them were relaken and placed in more Sc
cure custody. Frauds on the military fund to q
considerable extent had been discovered, arising
from defective way of keeping the accounts
The secretary and the auditor had been dis,
missed.
From the Nizam's dominions we learn thai
another intestine war had broken cut in his capital,
the cUmbatants being some Gossiens and 300 Ro-
hillas one side, and 1000 of the Nizam troops
with guns, on the other. The Rohillas occupied
fortified building, with thick mud walls and, after
having sustained, without loss, caDnonade of
twenty-seven hours, during which they killed some
hfteen or twenty OF their assailants, evacuated
their fortress, on condition that they should re-
ceive the amount of their claims and be exempted

The consent of the new Emperor. Some doubt

New Zealand.
we have received papers from Auckland New

The Corn Trade and Harvests Of Europe.
- From the Mark Lane Express Aug 201
Though the harvest has been interrupted by par
tal showers IN different parts of the kingdom con-
siderable progress has been made in the more for
ward districts. and good deal of corn has beer
carried in fair condition during the week The ac-
counts OF the Yield OF wheat do not improve; In.
deed, The complaints respecting the deficiency OF
gram IN proportion 10 straw have increased which
we are not surprised at, considering the prevalence
OF blight among all the earlier SORTS Of wheat ard
me lots which was naturally 10 be expected
from the fact Of large breadths of corn having
been badly laid by the heavy rains aud high
winds experienced in July. II is yet too early
TO speak positively as to the extent OF the
dehe,ency but from al we have hitherto been
enabled TO collect, we are Of opinion that wheat
VIII prove less productive than in moderately good
average seasons and that considerable proportion
VIII be OF coarse quality. This will prove a heavy
lal IN nIrt fam oil LII
OF the value Of the article advancing so as 10 cover
the loss 10 which, under such circumstances the
.horness Of the yield must subject them. They
have found il sufficiently difficult 10 compete with
The foreign growers with so good crop as that OF
last year; hut we much fear that the present season
VIII prove still more trying 70 all engaged in the
cultivation OF the land. Prices have certainly risen
nom The lowest point, and present rates may per-
heps be about aintaned; but we much question
whether the advance established Is at all adequate
TO recompense for the shortness in the quality per
acre.
From the tenor Of the foregoing remarks Il will
be readily understood that we are not sanguine of
eny improvement IN the wheat trade. We feel
iuly persuaded that we shall not have an average
crop, and further, thar very large portion of the
potatoes will be lost; but we are equally well con-
vIneed that this Will not have much Influence on
pfiees. In the southern countries of Europe the

circumstances, and IN the more northern parts Il IL

agree in speaking highly Of the quality; and allow

and Holland may cause an extra causumplion OF

cannot, we admit, come forward Immediately
indeed, from the more distant ports compara-
uvey liue - likely to reach ss before next
sprng, but no real security can be felt in the
interval, and as our merchants and farmers will
constantly have the dread Of large imports before

very quiet state, with The tendency of prices rather

causing speculation; but provided nothing further
occrfs to ndanger that part Of the crops still in the
htlds, no material or permanent rise in the value OF
