Germany and Russia.

Germany and Russia
BERLIN, August 26.-General Van
Mantenfel will go to Warsaw on the oc-
casion of the approaching imperial re-
view there to salute the Car on behalf
of the Emperor of Germany. II any
misunderstanding has arisen between
Bismarck and Gortschakoff, il is highly
improbable that Van Mantenfeps mis-
sion is to remove it. Some assert that
the General is sent to Warsaw to settle
the misunderstanding.
Home from the War.
LONDON, August 26.-Lord Chelms-
ford and Colonels Woodland Butler have
arrived at Plymouth. They were much
cheered on landing.
The Heavy Rains in England.
LONDON, August 26.-The fall in con-
soils this morning is attributed 10 the
renewal OF rains The severity OF the
rains is indicated by the fact that they
have caused a rise in the Thames,
which has flooded the home park under
the walls OF Windsor castle and in
terrupted the barge traffic.
Russian Terrorism.
ODESSA, August 26.-Two prisoners,
recently sentenced to be hanged, were
found guilty of preparing explosives to
kin the Gar, when visiting Nicoiaref.
One is a deserter from the Black Sea
feet. Their sentences will be carried out
at Nicolareff. Three other Nihilists, OF
the five sentenced by military tribunal,
were hanged on the race course at
Odessa. These make twelve executions
for political offences in Russia in about
year.
Manifesto OF Prince Jerome Napoleon.
LONDON, August 26. : Special dis
patches from Paris state that Prince
Jerome Napoleon's alleged manifesto is
probably compiled from his conversa-
tions with friends. 1t contains the
statement that he is personally opposed
to anything approaching a coup d'etdt,
and that he firmly believes in the even
tual restoration of the empire by the re-
action of public opinion caused by the
violence of radicals, but that he would
not prepare or hasten its restoration by
any plot against the lawful government.
Violent Attitude OF Belgian Bishops.
LONDON, August 81. - A Standards
Rome dispatch says that the violent at
titude of the Belgian bishops assembled
at Malines caused much annoyance at
the Vatican, and the Pope has sent in
structions to the bishops that their res
ontions should not be carried into eff
feet. The Archbishop of Malines is
expected at Rome shortly TO explain the
matter.
Weekly Review of British Grain Tarde
LONDON, August 2G.-The Mark Lane
Egpress, in review of the British grain
trade for the week, says: The heavy
rain storms of the past week have seri.
ously laid the crops in many parts OF
the northern and midland counties,
while the submersion of the low lying
lands has caused the wheat plant to rot
at the root and develop mildew in the
ear in large quantities. Hay has been
washed away in Derbyshire by the
floods. Nearly everywhere the fields
are chOked with weeds, and there is
every sign that the present year will
be as bad or worse for the far
mers than its immediate predeces-
sors. In more sheltered districts
some pieces of wheat and barley
are ready to be cut, but this is not at all
general. In Scotland the farmers dur
ing the recent short spell of fine weather
secured good deal OF hay, which is not
so much injured as was feared. The
cereal crops in the north are still quite
green, and much OF the grain in the
uplands may never ripenat all. october
rather than September will probably be
the harvest month in Scotland. Turnips
there are improving and potatoes are
generally free from disease, but the yield
will be late and deficient. The relapse
of the weather has caused revival in
the wheat trade, in some instances en-
ablng sellers to recover the recent
decline of one shilling per quarter.
The imports have again been excessive,
but for the imports having exceeded the
usual summer complement, the strength
of trlde would have been so marked
that higher prices would doubtless have
been obtainable, but it is difficult to per-
suade millers TO buy, except in retail, in
the face Of a supply considerably ex-
ceeding 100000 quarters. Even II the
prospects of the harvest are admittedly
bad, Americas capacity for gigantic
shipments is also thoroughly under
stood by the buyers who operated eau
tiOusly, but at the same time more free
", during the past week at slight adj
vance on Mondays currency. In an
other month more reliable data
will be obtainable concerning
the European crops upon which to indi-
cate the future course OF the prices.
Barley has maintained previous prices,
but eased slightly under the pressure OF
increased supplies. The arrivals at the
ports Of call have been moderate. Wheat
fluctuated with the weather, but con-
tinued heavy shipments cabled IRON
America prevented any advance beyond
about pence per quarter on wheat.
Maize favored sellers with a moderate
inquiry. Wheat and maize have both
been in fair request for future de
livery at 9 pence TO Cd per quar-
ter of an advance. Barley has
been in good demand, and prices
were firmly maintained. Sales OF Eng
lish wheat last week, 1882 quarters,
at 49s. Sd; against 26,27S quarters, at
4js. ID. for the same period last year.
The imports into the United Kingdom
for the week ending August is, 1859,
were ASS, ,59Scwt. OF wheat and 2S0,224
cwt. OF -four. In Mark Lane yesterday
Monday there was a moderate con-
sumptive demand for wheat at Cd. per
quarter advance on last Mondays
prices. Flour steady. Maize slightly
slower. Oats 81. to Cd. per quarter
higher.
