FUR THEIR FOREIGN NEWS

The British Consul anil the Popo.-I am in
formed that the visits of the British Consul at the
Vatican and Quirnal have been very frequent
within these few days; the real motives for such
frequent conferences cannot with precision ascer-
tain but 1t | am to believe rumors it appears that
the energetic interference of the Consul in protect
ing British subjects and their property from the
arbitrary acts OF the Roman police is by no means
agreeable to the Papal authorities and [ under
stand that the Papal government had gone as far
to threaten to withdraw the exequator from his
commission as British Consular Agent.-Rome
Cor. of Times.
English Papers EDelbdeR from Rohae.-The
Roman Post-otiice has recommended its rigorous
exclusion of such foreign newspapers as express
opinions uniavorabe to the Papal Court, or to any
OF the branches of administration. All the demo
cratic press of England, France and Tuscany. has
been long since prohibited but though the Times
Galgnanl, and Journal des Debats have nominallv
free entrance, not day passes but or the 9th
is excluded. circumstances are made in vain
and even now the journals addressed to resident
dpomatists, to whom some courtesy was hitherto
shown are devoted to the same severity.
EEtenS1Ue FOrgery.-Intormation has been re-
celved by the authorities in Glasgow, of an extern
s-ve forgery committed on the firm of Abraham
Crocker " Co, tea and sugar merchants London
by Mr.. CulIum, commission merchant. Paisley
road, Glasgow. The accused party has dissp-
peared. He was seen last in London, on the l7th
OF August and, as far can be conjectured it is
not unlikely that he has gone across the Atlantic
by the steamer which left Liverpool about that
time. 1t is supposed that he has with him not less
than ElOOOi forgeries Of bills OF exchange in the
name of the firm, on two of their customers to the
amount OF ES75 having already been discovered
besides other sums in which he was behind with
the firm.
From the London Gazette of Augusta
The Graia Traas Of Euy0pe-No material
change has occurred in the position of the Grain
trade, nor il there any alteration of consequence in
public opinion respecting the result of the harvest
In the Southern, Midland and Western counties,
the crops have given a much better return and the
reports from thence OF a much more satisfactory
character than those from the East coast, but no
where is there any decided surplus to compensate
Tor the districts which we know to be deficient:
and the natural conclusion therefore is that the ag-
gregate will, have already intimated, fall
short of that of commonly good average seasons
We are, however inclined to think that we have
larger crop of potatoes than in any previous year
since lSlJ, and that there is more old wheat in the
country than is usually held at a corresponding De-
Rod OF the year. At the same time we feel per
ectIy satisfied that the wheat harvest the CONT
nent OF Europe has, with few exceptions, yielded
aoundanty. We have, consequently, no appre-
henslon OF scarcity and high prices indeed our
fear Is rather that the imports from abroad will be
so extensive as to keep down the value of agricu-
rural produce in this country at point too low
considering the short yield Of the home crops) 10
allow our farmers to obtain living profit, and that
the rum and distress already occasoued by Free
irade will be yet further augmented. Business at
marx Lane has not been active, but no disposition
mas been shown to press sales of any article, and
previous prices have been maintained,
