REPORTED REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA. ke, be. he, The steamship Hibernia, Capt. Shannon, was telegraphed at Boston, at half-past 5 o’clock yester- day morning. She reached that city at 8 o’clock. Trish affairs have lost much of their interest, and now begin to be regarded with indifference, not only by the people, but by the government. The State trials have so far resulted in the conviction of one enly of the chief leaders. John Martin, Proprietor of the Felon newspaper, was found guilty, and has been sentenced to ten years’ trans- portation. In the case of O’Doherty, the second jury were vunable to agree upon a verdict. He 13 still con- fined, and at the next commission the trial will be again repeated. The government have determined upon issuing 2 special commission for the trial of Smith O’Brien and the other captured leaders in Tipperary. From every part of Ireland the reports give but poor hopes of saving the great bulk of the potato crop, added to which it is even reported that the grain crops will be below an average. The reports of famine have attracted the attention of the go- vernment. Measures have been adopted for as- certaining the real state of the case, and Lord John Russell has announced in the House of Com- mons that, should the fears now indulged in by large portions of the population prove well founded, Parliament shall be at once called together to sadopt such measures as may appear necessary for Telieving the evil. The chartists of England and Scotland have caused some uneasiness in the public mind, for some time past; but the abortive attempt at revo- Jution, madefat the close of the last week, hascon- siderably mitigated the fear previously indulged an, though the diseovery of pikes, pistols loaded to the muzzle, daggers and swords, ball cartridges, (powder, tow balls, and lucifers, proves the exis tence of a conspiracy, wide spread in its nature, and diabolical in its designs. These designs ap- pearto have embraced extensive incendiarism in the metropolis and the chief towns in the manu- facturing districts, coupled with which were to have been massacre, robbery, and the destruction of governmental authority. ‘The London Times, 25th ult., states that Lord John Russell will start for Dublin in a day or two» not to supervise, nor to control, nor to direet Lord ‘Clarendon, but to observe the state of that dis- tracted island, to see its real grievances, to exa- mine their causes, and to confer upon their remedies. : Messrs. Smith O’Br'en and Meagher enjoy good health. They are pe mitted, we understand, to occupy the same cell in Kilmainham, in conse quence of the limited accommodation of the building, in its present crowded state. Mrs, ‘O'Brien provides the meals, and visits her husband daily. Mr. Whiteside has declined to act for Mr. ‘Wn. S. O’Brien, and has sent back his retainer Mr. Duffy seems to have suffered dreadfully fro:a his imprisonment. ‘The Destruction of the Packet Ship Ocean Monarch. The packet ship Ocean Monarch, Capt. Mur dock, from Liverpool, 24th, for Boston, was burnt in the English Channel soon after leaving port, and 150 persons perished. The Ocean Monarch, Capt. Murdock, left Liver- pool, August 24, with 360 steerage passengers, 6 eabin, 22 second cabin, and, with her crew, had ~on board 398 persons. She had not proceeded far, however, before the utmost consternation was produced by an announcement that the ship was on fire—and scarcely had the alarm been given, ‘when she was in a complete blaze. The scene which followed, may be more easily conceived than described. The passengers became frantic with despsir, and numbers at once plunged into the ocean, to escape the more awful death which apparently awaited them. Husbands were thus severed from their wives, and wives from their husbands, and children from their parents. The captain finding that all control over the poor crea. tures was gone, end that the fire was making rapid pregress, ordered both anchors to be Jowered, in the hopes of bringing the vessel hard to the wind. In the act of lowering the anchors, many of the unfortunate pas sengeis were dragged into the ocean, they having seated themselves on the chain cables, and were thus launched into eternity, At the time ‘the fire was discovered, the vessel was about 8 miles to the eastward of the great Orm’s Head, and several vessels were in sight. A signal of distress was at once hoisted, which was imme- diately answered by a yacht belonging to Thomas Littledale, and which was about six miles distant. Mr. Littledale was himself on board, and at once bore down to render what assistance was in his power. There was a stiff breeze blowing, and had the yacht ventured alongside, it would have been total destruction to all on board. A boat was, however, immediately lowered, and proceed ed to the ship, for the purpose of rescuing some of the unfortunate passengers. The seene which presented itself to Mr. Littledale, on nearing the vessel, was of the most appalling and harrowing description. That gentleman truly describes it a8 awful, and such as he hopes never to witness in. eerhe flames were burning with intense fury from the stern and centre of the vessel. So great was the heat in these parts,that the passengers, male and fe- male, men, women and children, crowded to the fore part of the vessel. Their piercing,heart-rending shrieks for aid were carried by the breeze across the blue waters. In their maddened despai amen jumped overboard with their offspring in their arms, and sunk to rise no more. Men followed their wives in frenzy, and were lost. Groups of men, women and children also precipitated them- selves into the water, in the vain hope of self-pre- servation; but the waters closed over many of them forever. No pen can describe this awful scene. The flames continued to rage with increased fury. In a few minutes, the mizen mast went overboard ; in a few moments more and the main- mast shared the same fate; there yet remained the foremast. As the fire was making its way to the fore part of the vessel, the passengers and crew of course crowded still further forward, to the j1b-boom ; they clung in clusters as thick as they could pack, even one lying over the other. At length the foremast went overboard, snapping the fastenings of the jib-boom, which,with its load of human beings, dropped into the water, amidst the most hear-trending screams, beth of those on board and those who were falling into the water. Some of the poor creatures were enabled to again reach the vessel—others floated away on spars; but many met with a watery grave. In about an hour and a halt after the yacht reached the vessel, the Brazilian steam frigate Al. phonso came up; she anchored immediately to the windward, and close to the burning vessel; she got a rope made fast to the Ocean Monarch, and by the use of the said ropes,her boats were enabled to go backwards and forwards to the burning vessel with great facility, and by this means a large num- ber of persons was saved. The Prince of Wales steamer, which was on her passage to Bangor, came up shortly afterwards, and with the New World packet ship, bound for New York, sent boats to the rescue of the passengers, and were the means of saving a large number. The Brazilian frigate Affonzo was out on a plea- sure excursion. She was commanded by the Mar- quis de Lisboa. There also on board ware, the Pmnce de Joinville, his lady and suite, the Duke and Duchess D’Aumale, the Brazilian Minister, the Chevalier D’Lisboa, Admiral Grenfell and daughters, and other distinguished individuals. When the Affonzo discovered the Ocean Monarch, no time was lost in bearing down to her, and it was intended to anchor right under their bow; but the wind changed a little, and pre- vented this from being accomplished. Four boats were, however, at once lowered, and were soon followed by the large paddle-box boat. The Marquis D’Lisboa jumped into one, and Admiral Grenfell into the other, and were un- tiring in their exertions to save the poor people.— The Prince de Joinville was particularly assidu- ous in assisting the passengers on board the fri- gate. Of those on board the O. M., 32 were saved by the Ocean Queen, 160 by the Affonzo, 16 by a fishing smack, end 17 by the Prince of Wales, being a total of 225 saved, leaving 153 to be still accounted for. A subscription has been set on foot for the relief of the sufferers. Messrs. Baring Brothers & Co., the agents for the ship, have subscribed £50, Messrs. Harnden & Co, £50, Messrs. Brown, Shipley & Co., £20. Other par- ties have given from £1 to £20 each. Prince de Joinville and party have also left a handsome sum in aid of the fund. Those of the saved pas- sengers who choose to proceed out by the Hope, on the 28th instant, or by the Sunbeam, on the 3d proximo, will be sent out by Messrs. Harnden, by either of those vessels. Great numbers of the saved, however, have been so terrified by what they witnessed and what they suffered, that they yesterday called at the office, in Waterloo Read, for the passage money they had paid, when it was promptly refunded to them. The New World was in the neighborhood, and sent her boats, and was the means of saving a great number. A noble fellow, a seaman belong- ing to the New World, went to the wreck when there was little hope of saving any more, and stuck to the hulk of the vessel till every soul had left her. It is said this praiseworthy individual, by his own hand, lowered 100 persons to the boats below, of whom a great portion were women and chil. dren. The stewardess of ‘the Ocean Mo- narch lost her life in courageously attempting to get the powder out of the cabin—there were about 25lbs. weight on board, and when she went below to get it, it is supposed she was suffocated. The London Times, ot 26th, says in relation to the loss : It is questionable, however, if the possi- bility of salvation must not have added to the bitterness of the pangs endured by the sufferers on board the O. M. during the short space of time left them for teeling or thought. The cottages on the Welsh coast were so near that they could see men gazing upon their calamity from their own doors ; the sea was studded, as it always is at the mouth of the Mersey, with boats and shipping; above all, they could jperceive the smoke issuing from the funnels of the steamers Orion and Cam- bria, which were coming up Channel for Liver- pool. The-account given by the masters of these vessels on their arrival at that port, is so circum- stantial as to leave no doubt of their proximity to the awful tragedy that was in course of action on board the Ocean Monarch. The masters reported they saw flame issuing from the after part, and smoke from the tore part, of the vessel. They saw that she was rendered unmanageable, and supposed that her steering ap- paratus was destroyed. They saw also the fore- topmast go by the board. The masters of these vessels, however, when they perceived a Brazilian steam frigate lying near, quietly concluded they would be of no assistance, as they had a considera- ble number of passengers on board, and decided no continuing their course. It is to be hoped§they saved their time at Liverpool, and met with the ap- probation of their employers. When we find it recorded that by the exertions of Mr. Littledale and the crew of his little yacht, no less than 32 passengers were saved—that by a fishing boat 16 more were preserved, and that above all, 160 human beings were rescued from an appalling death, by the courage and humanity of the Marquis {d’Lisboa, Capt. Grenfell and the Prince de Joinville, we cannot but think that had the Orion and the Cambria done their duty, we should not now have to lament over the untimely and terrible de- struction of 180 of the unfortunate passengers on board the O. M. We grieve that the circumstances of the case compel us to place the conduct of our own countrymen in unfavorable juxtaposition with the humanity and courage of the crew of the Affonzo. Jt was the Cambria, Capt. Harrison, from New York, that passed the wreck of the Ocean Monarch without rendering assistance. We must not omit to mention an act of heroism exhibited towards the crew, in this melancholy scene. When only a dozen helpless women and children remained on the burning wreck paralysed with fear, and totally incapable of helping them- selves by descending from the tottering bowsprit to the boats, which, in the midst of the heavy sea and wreck, in vain offered their assistanc® below, Frederick J. Jervine, a seaman of the. American ship New World, stripping himsel! naked, made his way through the sea and wreck, and, with a line in his hand, succeeded in lower- ing the last helpless victim safely into the boats, being himself the last man to leave the wreck. On his arrival on board the Brazilian steam frigate Alfonzo, he was received on the quarter deck by the Prince de Joinville and Duke D’Aumale, who, shaking him by the hand, praised his gallantry in the most flattering terms, bestowing on him at the same time an ample gratuity. The Ocean Monarch was insured in the Nep- tune office, for $3,500; Hope, $5,000; Suffolk, $10,000; Franklin, $10,000; Tremont, $11,000; Equitable, $10,000 ; Boylston, $8,000 ; American, $10,000; and New England, $4,000. On her cargo, there was an insurance in the Equitable office, for $3,000 ; Boylston, $2,000; New Eng- land, $7,500 ; National, $5,000; Lexington and Kentucky Marine, $10,000 ; also $13,000 on her freight. The total loss is estimated at $200,000. The remainder of the insurance on her cargo is pec here, but it is not yet correctly ascer- tained. ‘News from the Continent. The Gontinental news generally 18 pacific. M.M. Arago, Cavaignac, Lamartine, Ledru Rollin, Caussidiere, Marrast, and all the chief actors in the revolution, have severally been examined, and it 1s plain from the concurrent testimony of almost all, that the revolution was effected by a combination of the lowest of the people, chiefly connected with the National and Reforme newspapers. The money raised by loans and taxes has been squandered amongst the vilest of mankind, for the double purpose of creat- ing an alarm in Paris, whenever a political point was to be carried, and for the still more mischie- yous purpose of propagandism in foreign parts: The evidence given is loose, vague, and desul- tory. Each witness represents a principal. One witness, named Chenn, a police agent, of the vilest character, in the pay of Caussidiere, reveals all the proceedings of the conspirators, before and after February; and a more hardened, thorough paced villain has not appeared since the days of Robes- pierre. Ie proves the collusion between Ledru Rollin, Ladarin, Louis Blanc, Caussidiere, with Raspail, Sobrier, and the red republicans. The evidence of Cavaignac leaves a painful impres” sion, He is openly charged with leaving Paris defenceless, by the insufficiency of the troops, and his explanations are not satisfactory. Ledru Rollin, if the evidence is to be believed, has taken eare of the future, and has contrived to remit about £14,000 sterling to London, for investment in the funds. The commissaries which he sent to the provinces quite equalled in their character the infamous agents of the Convention. There were amongst them liberated convicts, tailors, shoe- makers—all of the worst kind. It is wholly out of our power even to form a conjecturewf what may be the result of these most extraordinary docu- ments—they have now been published some days, and Paris has become agitated in precisely the same mode, and has been the scene of similar émeutes, to those which preceded the April, May, and June demonstrations. It 1s said that Cavaig- nac will endeavor to cushion the whole matter; but the reaction against the republic 1s now be- coming so general, especially in the provinces, that we doubt whether he will be able to effect his object. Four socialist newspapers have been sup- pressed by a public decree. The most extensive military arrangements are continually in force, to suppress any disorder in Paris. The Garde Mobile, in large detatchments, parade the city, and rumors are industriously cir- culated that the red republicans and the legiti- mists have coalesced, with a view to bring about a counter revolution. Our latest news from Paris describes the general alarm which prevails, that a legitimist outbreak is athand. The cause of royalty is gaining ground in many departments, whilst, at Avignon, social- ist processions are taking place, with cries of “Vive Barbes!” “Vive Blanqua !” and ‘Vive Robespiere!” We still have our doubts respecting the character ot the threatened outbreak. We deem it far more probable that the agents of the government, or the parties in the National Assembly, circulate these reports for their own political ends. However, the debate on the report will bring the contending par ties to a personal trial of strength ; and it remains to be seen which side the populace will take. It is reported, amongst other things, that the army has been seriously tampered with, which is very probable. In that case, the so-called republic is seriously in danger. Eleven vacancies in the National Assembly, have not yet been filled up, the writs having been stopped by Ge- neral Cavaiga who did not dare to ask the opinion of any of the constituents in France, under the existing circumstances of reaction. It was even said that M. Guizot would be returned for Bordeaux. Gen. Cavaignac has, however, at length promised the Assembly to issue the writs, so that the real state of public opinion will be ascertained; but what must be the state of public liberty in the republic of France, when the dictator interposes to prevent the elec- tion of the members of the National Assembly? Another phase of the revolution is at hand. The London Times of the 26th, says the contest is by no means terminated with the events of June Ere many weeks, or even days, have passed, it 1s but too probable that it will be bloodily renewed. The government which exists, is, after all, but an expedient, and lives only by delegated authority. It represents the will of the nation lamentably di- vided, and deeply corrupted; and the forces at the disposal of Cavaignac are all that supply the place of tradition and of established rights, in opposition tothe implacable hostility of a minority, deeply imbued with the very spirit of anarchy—deluded, incensed, demoralized, and ruined. In the early part of the week, there was a little uneasiness in regard to France. Much apprehen- sion exists in reference to the probability of ano- ther outbreak in Paris, and the occurrences of the week seem to show cause for the anxiety so gene- rally expressed. The soctalist confederacy has extensive influ- ence amongst the operatives of Paris, Lyons, and all the principal cities of France; and the audacity maintained by Proudhon, Louis Blanc, and others implicated in the former contest, strengthens the presemption that the government are unwilling to proceed against them for fear of the eonsequences. The European Times says all Europe has been amazed at the disclosures which have been made by the publication of the report on the late insur- rections. Never in the history of the world has such a mass of folly, crime, secret villany, open violence, infatuation, and reckless daring, been presented to the world. It m quite impossible, from the vast prolixity of the report, which occupies three huge volumes, to give our readers anything like a summary of the contents. We must limit ourselves to describing the effect which the perusal has produced on our minds. The Italian question is yet unsettled. The wan- ton siege and bombardment of Bologna served to exemplify the old spirit of Austrian despotism; while the patriotism and valor of the citizens, and the manifestations that have taken place in their favor, show that the spirit of resistance has not been quelled by recent reverses. Charles Albert's addresses evince unabated courage and confidence. The intervention of France and England con- tinues, and rumor goes so far as to ascribe to Aus- tria and the Frankfort Assembly a readiness to be content with the frontier of the Adige, leaving Lombardy to join itself to Piedmont or Switzer- land. This may form the basis of a settlement; but only of a temporary one. There cannot be a permanent peace while Austria retains sway over any portion of the Pen‘nsula. From the seat of war in Schleswig, there 1s no decisive news. Correspondence speaks of an ar- mistice and a peace, as about to be concluded by the belligerent powers; but rumor has said the same for many weeks past. {From the London Times, Aug. 28.] The most important portion ot the contents of the Paris papers and correspondence of yesterday, is that which intimates an approaching collision of the government and the legitimists. The da- cette de France was suspended on Thursday. On the same day, the Bouche de Fer, a new legitimist print, was seized. Seals were also placed on its printing office. It was hoped that the impending debate in the Assembly on the report of the Com- ¢ SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, es ald i one oe NEW YORK HE —————<— SSS 1848. mittee of Inquiry, would end yesterday, without any serious incident. The bill for reducing the postage on all inland letters to 2d. each, was passed by the Assembly on Thursday might. The Pope’s Nuncio was received by Gen. Ca- vaignac on Thursday, as the Papal Ambassador to the French Republic. Reported Revolution tn Russia, Advices from Breslau, Aug. 18, say a revolution has broken out simultaneously at St. Petersburg and at Warsaw Travellers who have arrived here from Russian Poland, unanimously confirm this intelligence. The Emperor has fled to Cronstadt. A provi- sional government has been established at St. Petersburg. Further details are as yet not known. The Prussian messenger at St. Petersburg has ar- rived here, with the Vienna mail. The same train has also conveyed a Russian courier who says he will not vouch for the authenti city of this intelligence from our correspondent who in general may be relied upon, although we must confess there are grounds for disquietude, on account of the uncertainty of all news coming from Russia. The Breslaw Gazette contains the same intelli- gence, but adds that nothing has been heard of the meutes which were reported to have broken out at Warsaw. That intelligence, therefore, appears to be without foundation. The London Times) of the 26th ult., doubts the above. The Vienna papers of the 17th and 18th ult., re- ceived this morning, state that the cholera is raging in the interior of the Empire, and that the disease is exceedingly malignant at Riga, where as many as one hundred are carried off daily, out of a po- pulation of 40,000 to 50,000 inhabitants. It is remarkable that the parents of many of the patients who have recently died of cholera, were carried off by the same disease in 1831 and 1832. Baring» Circular. Lownon, Friday, Aug. 25, 1848. ‘We have little change to notice in markets this week. For most articles of colonial and foreign the demand continues languid, and prices have been bare- ly supported, while the upward tendency in the value of breadstufls suggests a possibility of an export of specie being required, and no one desires to extend their engagements inthe interim. The bank rate of discount still remains at 3}; per cent; but money is rather dearer'in other quarters, Our funds keep fair. ly steady, Consols, to-day, leaving off at 865.

Cocuinrar—Of 66 bags Mexican, and 55 bags Hon- duras, at public sales on Tuesday, about two-thirds were realized at full prices. Correx remains very dull, and prices of all kinds must be quoted decidedly cheaper. Native Ceylon is offering at 288. 6d., without finding buyers, while good and fine plantation sorts have been forced off at 4s. to 5s. reduction; 3,080 bags Cactarica have brought 28: 60s.; while 5,400 bags Rio were all bought in at 22 a 278. 6d.

Correr Sneatuina continues firm, at 10d. alb. Corron.—There has been a fair demand, for tho trade, at Liverpool, but the quantity offering has been too large, and prices declined fully 4. per lb., with a dull market yesterday. The Corn Marxet, On Mondgy, was well attended, with a fair supply of English,/and a large supply of foreign wheat. Day very wet, and @ continuance of unfavorable reports of potatoes, from Ireland. Prices kinds of wheat atv: about Js. per quarter; flour, 8s. per sack ; Indiam corn, 28. per quarter; 38s. being paid floating for Galatc; and barley, beans, and peas, from 1s.a 2s. dearer; while oats in very large supply, improved 6d a 1s per quarter. On Wednesday great firmness was shown, and desirable samples of foreign wheat, beth free and in bond, commanded 1s: 2s. advance. Indian corn, however, was in less de- mand. To-day, great firmness prevailed for wheat, flour, and Indian corn; and as much as 393. was paid for a cargo of Galatz corn, floating; with one from the Azores, at 36s; barley, and spring corn generally were again rather dearer. All duties remained as la:t week; our subjoined are given relatively, and based on actual duty paid. Prices obtained this day:—U.

Ixpico is firmly held, and from the tenor of the last advices from Calcutta, a large crop next year would seem impossible, In the daily transactions, the fall prices of the last sale are freely given for Bengal, while for Madras as much as 4d a 6d. avdance has been paid for really good qaalities, which are beeoming very scarce. In iron we had fair export business doing, at £6 for rails, and £5 16s. for common bar, both free on board in Wales; Scotch pig about 45s.,and Gartsherrie, No. 1, about 47s. 6d. on the Clyde. Of foreign, we have scarcely any stock. Recent arrivals from Sweden going in transitu. For linseed cake the demand is improving: For 670 tons New Orleans, just arrived, the price of £7 158 had been refused, and it will probably be taken at £8; thin brown, Boston, £8 5s., and thin oblong, New York, in barrels, 9a £9 58, Lag is 1s. dearer, American§brin, current! ieee i nGbringing, ys O1s.—Sperm {e slightly firm, though the arrivals are large, including @ good deal foreign fished; British {s worth £70, and American £78, duty paid; Southern is dearer, and is worth up to £26 for Ist quality; pale sea £25 108.; common, £24 5s.; linseed, 229 a 238.; palm 30 6 a 31s.; cocoa nut, 40 a 43s. per owt.

The prices for sugar for home use have again been depressed by the large quantity offori; nd we must notice a reduction of 64. a Is. per cwt. For export, however, we have experienced an increased demand at improved pric: The sales consists of 4500 boxes yellow, at 198.; landed, 2,750 boxes white, at 298.

Loxpon Money Manxer, Friday Evening, August 26.—The English Funds have experienced a rise to-day ofa half percent, The first quotation of Consols was 8634 to 14, and the weather continuing tolerably clear, the effect of a number of purchases was to send them up to 86% for the 7th of September.

The export of bullion to the Continent being now suspended by the equalization of prices from the United States, the fal, in the exchange precludes any expectation of further transmissions from that quarter. Tho position of the Bank of France, with regard to its stock of bullion, still improves—a sum of nearly five millions of f.ancs having been added by the last accounts. The trade at Havre is still reported to be in an improving state; but the uncertainty of the issue of political affairs at Paris still impedes the ordinary course of trade. There has been s general suspension ef mercantile operations on the Continent, and, indeed, in England, every body engaged in the Continental trade, is looking out anxiously for the result of the mediations of France | and England in the Italian question. Produce seems to be generally on the rise in Germany. The French funds closed on Wednesday, the Three per Cents at 37f. 70c.; the Five per Cents at 73f. Trade and commerce in England have ben ina very unfatisfactory position during the last week; the un- certainty which prevails respecting the harvest and the extent of the potato disease,have acted‘most injurious- ly on the markets for foreign and colonial pioduce. Althoug’ holders have been anxious to realise, still, from the causes above noted, buyers have manifested unusual caution in their operations, although tempted by lower prices; sugar and coffee have suffered more, and buyers are not inclined to pay former terms. Ar- ticles for use in manufacturing purposes are in lesa request, and prices are lower, particularly in cotton and cochineal, The market for the former has been quiet here during the week; the sales are to a mode- rate extent only, and for most descriptions prices are a shade lower. The Corn trade continues firm, and prices to advance. Money is in more demand, but the rate of discount is not higher at present. Prime bills are 2% to 3, and others 334 to 6 percent. British securities are steady, and prices now tend upwards. The foreign market is languid. The,import of cotton, since our last, amounts to about 39,075 bales, of which 35,686 were American.— The demand has been languid, but steady. Holders have met the market pretty freely, and in the early Part of the week lower prices were accepted for all sorts of American. Subsequently, a better fecling took place, and buyers showed more confidence. The mar- ket, therefore, closed with a degree of steadiness, at rates similar to those last quoted. The sales from the 18th to the 25th, are estimated at 33,450 bales, of which speculators took 1100, and exporters 6170. The stock of cotton, at Liverpool, is now 557,880 bales; at the same time last year it was 388,350, showing an increase this’ year of 199,030 bales. At present there are but few prospects of any improvement in the demand, for as the value of breadstufis is expected to rule at a high figure, there will be a reduction in the consumption of manufactured articles forhome use. Should, however, the harvest bear out more favorable than is anticipated’ the grain crops having received no material injury by the late rains and stormy weather, it is not improbable but greater activity will prevail in the manufacturing districts, and the raw material find many buyers at rising prices. Much anxiety has been felt in the grain trade, owing to the prevalence of unfavorable weather. The accounts of the spread of the potato disease, al though there are large arrivals from the continental ports into London, still the tendency of prices has been upwards; and on Monday last, at Mark Lane, wheat rose from 3s. to 4s. per quarter; the best English white sold at from 57s. to 66s. per quarter. U. States and Canadian also brought 545. to 56s. at the same market. Flour was also disposed of on enhanced terms. The value of Canadian was 238 to 23s., and United States, 24s. to 30s. per barrel. Holder of Indian corn acted firmly, and as there was a fair demand for shipment to Ireland, prices generally were higher; the current rates being 36s. to 38s. per quarter. Indian meal changed hands at 16s, to 163_ 6d. per barrel. At Liverpool, on the following day, (Tuesday.) the market was well attendffd, and for most descriptions of articles brought forward, a good demand prevailed. Wheat rose 4d. to Gd. per bushel, American and Canadian white sold at 98, to 94. 4d. per bushel, and red 8s. 4d. tos. The price of American flour advanced 2s, to 2s. 6d. per barrel, sellers being able to realise 34s. to 35s.\per barrel. for Western canaland Richmond ; 34s. to 35s. for Philadelphiaand Baltimore ; 33s. to 348. for New Orleans and Ohio; 4s, to 358, for Canadian, Indian cern supported the ad- vance noted last week. Indian meal sold at 17s. to 18s. per barrel. At the markets held in London on Wednesday, the advance noted above was fully sup- ported. Indeed bonded and floating cargoes of wheat were rather higher. A rise of 4s. to 5s was established at Wakefield yesterday, but other articles were sold at rates similar to last week. Yesterday's Liverpool market was not so active. A moderate business was done in wheat and flour, whilst in Indian corn, hardly any sales were reported. The demand for American bacon in London is dull, whilst lard is in request at full rates. At Liverpool an extensive business has ‘been done in pork, the value of low qualities has ad- vanced, and present quotations are 838, to 638. Buy. ers of bacon act with more caution in consequence of the extreme prices demanded by holderr. Still the market is firm, and prices have an upward tendency, Hams and shoulders are scarce, and much inquired for, Cheese has been taken to a fair extent in Lon- don, but the quality is only middling. The rates paid vary from 35s, to 62s. per owt. At this market the prices are, fine 48s. to 52s, ; mid- dling 40s, to 42s, ; ordinary 22s, to 28s. Liverroot Corrox Manet Friday Ev'g, Aug, 25. —The quantity of rain that has fallen during the week, and theinjury which has been thereby done to the crops, have naturally produced a somewhat depress- ing effect on the cotton market ; and as the quantity of cotton daily on sale has been more than the de- mand could readily carry off, rather a slight reduction in price, in some cases, in the inforior and middling descriptions, may have been submitted to; but this has not been general. The business, this week, with 6,000 bales to-day, and « steadier market, smounts to 83,460 bales, including 1, 100 American, on speculation, and 4,760 American, 100 Pernambuco, and 80 Surat, for export, The quotations, according to the standard now adopted by the brokers of association, are as fol- lows :—Fair uplands, j fair Mobile, 44 leans, 4d. The imports of the week are 39,076 bales. oon Conn Manxet, Aug. 26.—Corn 36s a 388; eal 168 Gd a 17a 6d; flour, United States, 333 Lopoos, Aug. 25,—Flour 256 9 905, From St. Petersburg the price | is quoted firm at R. 0. 28, for white Havana, but not | | Mary, (whaler) from Ni | Tuscany, | soba u p Easterbrook; Taath¢ N, june 13—Cinoinnati, Child, tos vale i, a‘ {som Manila, for Now a, for do; 4A, Junior, (whaler, Lark, (w et) do GiTesete "on 8 whe ; Stephon Lurman, Clark, from Canton, for New Yorke soy oy r whaler, ee poset one cruise.

NEW YORK HERALD. Payers from Naples arrived for London the morning, to the 13th inst., which informs us tha’ the expedition which was to have sailed on thag day, had been countermanded, in consequence, it is said, of the interference of the English and French ministers. Later advices reached London this morning, from Havre, by which we learn that the cot- ton market, of that port, was less active, and prices less buoyant. The reaction is marked by further downward tendency in prices. In other articles of American produce, there 1s nothing um- portant to report. Ireland. Various conjectures are afloat as to whether Mr. Whiteside will be one of Mr. O’Brien’s counsel at the ensuing trial. From all that we can learn there 1s reason to say that he will. One thing 1s certain, that learned gentleman has obtained his leisure for the purpose. The Crown claims Mr Jonathan Reeme, Q. C., but he, it 18 said, objects inasmuch as he is connected by relationship with Mr. ©’Bnien’s family. Mr. Meagher has been attacked by typhus fever He 1s attended by Dr. Stokes. The case is re” ported to be a dangerous one. BY SPECIAL EXPRESS TO LIVERPOOL VIA HOLYHEAD AND CHESTER. Dvatry, Saturday Morning, Aug. 26, 1848, ‘There is very little news worthy of notice to send you, The city is tranquil, and, notwithstanding alt the vaunts of the confederates, they have very quietly succumbed to the powers that be. The law officers of the crown, are very active in their preparations for the trials. The special commission is to be held in Tip- perary, and much speculation exists as to the probable results of these prosecutions. The jury it is said wild be selected from the grand panel, in order, if possible, tosecure a conviction. Of Deheny the authorities know nothing; all their efforts to capture him have been up, to the present date, abortive. His brother rebel, as he is called, W. RK. O'Gorman, has given leg bail for his loyalty, and made his escape to France. ‘The Lord Lieutenant is busily engaged in rewarding the police who have proved useful in capturing the late insurgents. Modon,Qwho arrested Meagher,” Lyne, and O'Donohue, has been appointed a head constable, with a reward of £100. The men under him four in number, have also been presented with £50 each. This system of promotion and rewards, for arresting political offenders, is most loudly reprobated by allolasses, as it tends to foster a spirit of perseou- tion in the police, and induces them to go beyond the
