garded here as of great political significance,

The Re.arrest of Michael Davift.
LONDON, August 22d.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette says: The Government could hardly
have come worse out of debate than from
that concerning the arrest of Michael Davitt.

with respect of the grounds which Sir Will

The British Grain Trade.
LONDON, August 22d.-The Marx Lane
Express, in its weekly review Of the grain
trade, says: The past week the weather has
damaged and jsopardized the harvest. Mil
dew is rapidly developing in the standing
grain, and the cold nights and hot, moist
days are causing that in the sEeaves to
sprout. The quality of the wheat from
which the very best results were expected is
found to be affected by premature ripeness,
and the quality and yield are disappointing.
In both Great Britain and on the Continent
there has been an advance in the price OF
wheat, not solely on account of the disap-
pointing harvest The stock has been let
down low in anticipation Of early deliveries.
These calculations have been upset by the
weather, which entirely prevented thrashing
from the field. The bulk of the crops must
go through the ordinary sweating in ricks
before it comes to any extent on the market,
and practically there is no old native wheat.
