The harvest is now pretty general through
out England The hay crop is, in many places,
40 late as to exhibit moving in one field, and
reaplng IN the next. The wheat is universally
thin and estimated below an average produce
which, though the approach Of harvest has led
to fall OF prices in the corn markets at Mark
Lane and in the Provinces seems to bode
higher range, when winter sets in, than has
been experienced for years-especially as in
France the prospect is equally poor, and the
interruption Of the great supplying granaries
in the East is sure to add to the evil of def

There is whisper of marriage negotiation
between the Prussan Prince about to visit

Turkey" and Of the Emperor of France !:
The reason why he also wants cut in at
Turkey, is because he had enough of Ham be-

FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN VIRGINIA.-lt is
well known that G. p. X. James, the novelist,
was somo time since appointed British Consul
at Norfolk. Many years ago, he wrote an ar
ticle on America, which was published in the
Dublin University MagGsine, in which he con-
demned the system of Slavery The Richmond
Examiner says the people of the slave States
should "a reommun'oote him, and place him in
perpetual coventry" Slavery places the ban
upon every man who will not stihe his convic-
tons of right and duty Political excommuni-
cation is not enough-socal exclusion also is
required What is this but Despotism?
The following paragraph from the New Or
leans Bulletin of August IL, exhibits the OPP
