spring in April the volume Of our paper
expired, leaving large number Of our

which is To be regarded as conclusive on the

WIN the Price Of Graf. Advance .

The prevailing opinion at this time,
throughout the grain raising States Of the
West, is that there will be failure, COM
paratively speaking, Of the crops this sea-
son from whence the conclusion Is drawn
that the balance Of the old crop on hand,
and such portions as may be gathered from
the new, will bring much higher price
than has been anticipated. Bearing upon
this subject, the remarks OF the New York
Courier are pertinent. 1t says:
There is very general complaint by pro-
duce merchants, that most OF the leading ar
ticles of produce are selling, or held through
out the west, at prices above a shipping
point, and the tendency is generally towards
higher figures, while there is, for the most
part, an absence OF feeling in our sea-board
market. There must, Of course, be an equal
ization OF prices, before there can be move
mept of produce. There Is no want Of
stocks in the country, but there is no dispo
sition TO dispose Of them at present and
the independent position offarmers generally,
enables them to hold with frmness in antic-
ipation Of better prices. At present the
impression in the west is that prices may, as
a consequence Of the deficient crop, here and
in Europe rule higher, and until this expec-
tation is satisfied, or until il becomes evident
that it cannot be realized, produce will move
slowly. That it will not be realized is of
course, the opinion here on the seaboard, or
prices would 60 up, and enable shippers to
forward. This independence OF holders to
the market, is confined to this country, and
shows the general prosperity Of our farmers.
The last returns of the British Board of
Trade conclusively show this to be the case
We therefore give the following table of

The following is the letter of Sir f. B.
LyrToN, to Gov. DoUGLAs, in reference to
the Frazer River Gold Mines
DOWNING STREET, July |, 1858.
SIR have to acknowledge your dis
patch of the 9Th ult., in continuation of for
mer dispatches informing the Secretary of
State from time to time Of the progress of
the gold discoveries on Frazer river, and the
measures witch you had taken in consequence.
! am anxious not to let the opportunity OF
the present mail pass without informing you
that her Majesty's Government have under
their consideration the pressing necessity for
taking some steps to establish public order
and government in that locality, and that
hope very soon to be able to communicate to
you the result.
In the meantime, her Majesty's Govern
ment approve the course which You have
adopted in asserting both the dominion of
the crown over this region, and the right of
the crown over the precious metals They
think, however, that you acted judciously
in waiting for further instructions before
you endeavor to compel the taking out of
licenses by causing any force TO be dispatch
ed for that purpose from Vancouvers Is
land.
They wish you to continue your vigilance,
and to apply for Instructions on any peint
on which you may require them. They are,
however, in addition, particularly anxious to
impress on You that while her Majesty's
Government are determined on preserving
the rights both of government and of COM
merce, which belong to this country, and
while they have it in contemplation to fur
nish you with such force as they may be
able to dispatch for your assistance and
support in the preservation Of law and Or
der, it is no part Of their policy to exclude
Americans and other foreigners from the
gold fields. On the contrary, you are dis
tlncty instructed TO oppose no obstacle
whatever to their resort thither for the pur-
pose of digging in those fields, so long as
they submit themselves, in common with the
subjects OF her Majesty to the recognition
OF her authority, and conform to such rule
Of police as You may think proper TO estab-
lish. The national right to navigate Fra
ger river Is OF course separate question,
and one which her Majesty's Government
must reserve. Under the circumstance OF
so large an immigration of Americans into
English territory, | need hardly impress
upon you tine importance Of caution and
delicacy in dealing with those manifold
cases of international relationship and feel
ing which are certain TO arise, and which.
but for the exercise Of temper and discretion,
might easily lead to serious complications

ment must leave much TO your discretion on
this important subject and they rely upon

conceive to be- best calculated to give de7el-
