AUGUSTA, Ga, August Ex-Governor
Smith was sereHaded tonight, and made
u speech TO large concourse Of people.
He said there was serious cause for appre-

and prudent action Of the whites, all
danger has passed. The great mass Of
the Colored people really know nothing Of

it remained for the court to ascertain the

willing to accept the theory Of sudden dis.
tuFbances Ot the Campass, but thought that
when the observation was taken after leav-
ing Holyhead there was some gross error
OF calculation. They were of the opinion
that the loss Of the vessel was due In the
first instance to the Masters having mis-.
Judged the distance from Holyhead, and
they also thought that sufficient allowance
was not been made for the force Of the

REVIEW OF THE LONDON MARKETS.
LONDON, August 23.-The Mark Lane
Express in the weekly review Of the grain
markets says the wheat crop in Great
Britain, has been gathered In much better
order than was expected; the prices yield
one to two shillings, and in some cases
two and three shiIIings; new samples look
well in comparison to those Of last year,
with less acreage and diminished yield.
The Paris market also felt the beneficial
effect Of the weather, flour having
declined two shilliRgs per sack. In many
parts OF France the harvest has been
gathered, but in no section will II be any.
