WHEAT, FLOUR AND BREAD IN LONDON
AND PAR1s-I'he highest quotation oi
wheat Of first quality, at present in Paris,
is $2.4S per bushel, and in London
$2,72., 1t follows that wheat is l43 per
cent. higher in London than in Paris.
Flour Of the first quality is worth in Paris
1862 per sack Of $50 lbs, and in Lon
don $500, or Sc per cent. higher in
London than in Pafia. Bread Of first
quality in Paris sells for ID cents pei
loaf Of A lbs, and in London % cents,
or 65 per cent. dearer in London than IN
Paris. The deficiency in the wheat
harvest in 1853, is estimated at twenty
four million bushels. The average inl>
ports are forty million bushels. Hence
Great Britain wllrequire, this year, sixty
four million bushels Of imported wheat.

4bseatees and those mol roiing

The late hombardment of Odessa by the allied
fleets in the Black sen was intended, it sad,
as a ohastisement of that city for firing upon an
English vessel bearing flag of truce. 1t does
not appear that the object was accomplished nor
is ii admitted thai the Justification existed The
Russian account of the matter is, that the British
officers were awaiting themselves of flag of truce
to take soundngs and make observations of the
harbor and the defence of the city. If this was
so they were properly treated rs spies. The
Paris correspondent of the Commercial Advert
ser ia journal whose leanings on the side of the
allies are quite decidedly, in reference to the ope-
ming of the Russian guns upon the British steam
or Furious remarks:
lone thing is certain-that Odessa was bonn
haided as means of obtaining satisfaction for
the treatment received at the hands of Russian
batteries, by the English steamer Furious, which
bore a flag of truce. This was a violation of the
laws of nations certainly. But in order to be
just to all parties it must be remembered that
some time ago the English steamer RetributioR
penetrated into he port Of SeJaStopoi, under
some pretenee Of parieying,an took Photographic
rie,cs of the Qualifications and other means Of de-
feRx. When the Car heard of this he was
oeedingly angry, and gave orders that any other
OF the allied ships bearing pareying flag should
be treated as if already detected in employing
rase de guerre. This raS perfectly reH known
10 The admiIais, and they must have been aware
of the reception that awaited the Furious. The
English and French cannot reasonably expect
that they are 20 have the entire privilege of re
sorting to articles, and are 10 enjoy a complete
immunity from treasures of retaliation! A flag of
truce is emit led to prospect, without doubt but, if
vessel bearing one turns out to be a spy, every
other vessel similarly situated is properly treated
il the enemy blows her out of water In the
case of the Rctributon and the Furious, the real
Niolators OF the law ofnatons are the parties that
by an unworthy trick, exposed flag of truce to
just reprisa and natural retaliation"
The Car in this matter did Just as Eng
land and France, or any other nation at war
would do, without doubt, under similar circum-
stances. The cutlery raised by the ALLIES" and
their newspaper organs in London and Paris then
against the violation of the law of natons," of
which they say the Gar had been guilty, may go
for what it is worth. Perhaps, if the lombard
ment of Odessa had been attended with more bril-
liant results, the unmitigated hatred of the Rus
slams, manifest in all their commentaries upon
the affair." would not be so intense.
