Crops in Great Britain and France.

/ NEW York, August 9.-Private
! cable kilograms from England to- day
report bad weather and injury to the
growing crops in Great Britain and
France, and higher quotations In the
English grain market than IS reported
by the press kilograms. This is
caused by the great animation on pro-
duce exchange, and the stimulated
and sharp upward movement In
prices. Exporters appeared in force
and took 100000 bushels of wheat
and $500 barrels of flour at an ad
vance Of s to 10 cents per bushel on
the former, and % cents per barrel on
the latter. The markets were swept
Of all the stuff offering, with the
shippers movement.
This large movement in breadstuffs
for export was felt in the different
marketssof speculation in Wall Street,
and in the Gold Room premium fell
to Bog, on the theory that produce
shipments would make a large ex-
change and stop the specie ship |
ments.

boy about twelve years old, while
hanging on to the switch engine here,
this afternoon fell off and was run
over. His injuries will probably
prove fatal.
One of the most striking features
of the eclipse here, was the appear
ance at the lower right hand rim of
the moons surface. and extending
of a red spot as large as
mans fist, which did not look like a
flame, but more like a solid red hot
body like melted lava. This was dis
tinctly seen with the naked eye during
the entire observation. This did not
form any part of the corona, which
was very brilliant. and seemed almost
to entirely circle the moon in a
halo of glory.

An Attempted Outrago.

NASHVILLE, August 9.-Last night
a party of young men went to the City
Hotel, and called for Joseph /. Bar
bour, Of Hartford, Connecticut, in
the name of Mr. Stone, late eandi-
date for Senator on the Stokes ticket.
When Mr.. Barbour appeared in the
Office. they took him out and carried
him toward the Suspension Bridge.
Barbour seized hold Of a lamp post,
and whilst some were trying to pull
him away, others struck him over
the shoulders with their canes. Here
some gentlemen came up and inter-
fered in his behalf, and he returned
to the hotel. Barbour travelled with
Stokes during the latter part of the
canvass, and corresponded with the
State Journal. He was considerably
bruised but not seriously hurt. The
outrage was without cause, aud is con-
demned by all classes of citizens.
