In the Midland counties, there is great complaint of the enormous growth of weeds, charlock especially, which in some parts of Oxfordshire is so rank, that the broadcast crops are mostly abandoned to their fate. Some, indeed, it is stated, have been weeded at the expense of a pound an acre; and even the dib bled and drilled lands have stood their owners in not less than from twelve to fourteen shillings and sixpence per acre for hoeing. This complaint is increased by the advance of labour, which has almost every where taken place, in the proportion of about one seventh or eighth of the total, since the rise in the price of wheat. This advance, however, has been as suddenly stayed as it was suddenly commenced. Yet the supply has been by no means so large as in the corresponding weeks of last year, when the average, which is now (for the last week) 63s. 2d. was then only 48s. 9d. The quantities sent to Mark Lane, were, in 1822, four weeks to June 16, inclusive, 41,058 quarters; 1823, ditto, 31,829 quarters. Still, therefore, opinion must fluctuate as to the relation of demand and supply, and the consequent chance of open ports. The prices of wheat have fallen about 4s. per quarter in the month; the arrivals of oats have been prodigious --something more than 160,000 quar ters. They have sunk about 8s. per quarter. Beef has been in demand in Smith field during the whole month. The last prices reached, for good Lincolns, 4s. 4d., Norfolks, 4s. 8d. The mutton trade is also brisk. The sheep that come in are chiefly shorn, and downs are worth a trifle more than 4s. 8d. COMMERCE. The peculiar nature of the war carrying on between France and Spain, the daily diminishing proba bility of any serious attempt on the part of the Spaniards to defend the new order of things, and the expectation of a speedy termination of the whole business, have entirely pre vented the effects which many persons at first expected to follow as the necessary consequence of war in any part of Europe. Even those articles that are more immediately liable to be affected, and showed for some time a tendency to rise, have fallen back to the usual level. Meantime the present ministry appears determined gradually to introduce a less restricted system of foreign trade, which may be expected to produce the happiest effects. So long as we could reap the exclusive benefit of the system of prohibition, there might be some good reason for continuing it; but since foreign nations imitate, and go beyond us, imposing upon our commerce restrictions even more severe than we do upon theirs, it seems full time to restore a more simple and natural state of things, and to make arrangements with other powers for the reciprocal introduction of a more liberal legislation. Some have already declared their readiness to do this, and the rest will probably do the same. France seems to be the most disposed to uphold the prohibitory system in its utmost rigour. Russia would doubtless be equally willing, but its situation will not admit of its going to the same extent as France. There is no new Russian Tariff yet published: it is supposed the old one will be continued, perhaps with some very slight modifications. In looking over the state of the markets for the last month, we find that almost every article has remained stationary, or has declined: Cotton seems to be the only exception. The London market has been rather more animated than usual: in the week ending the 17th of June, in particular, a great deal of business was done; the sales, amounting to 7,000 bales, sold at good prices. There has not been so much done this last week, but the prices are favourable, and some kinds of Cotton are scarce, for instance, Brazils, which are much wanted. At Liverpool, in the four weeks ending the 21st June, the sales were 71,000 bags: the arrivals above 60,000. At Glasgow the demand has been very considerable. Sugar and Coffee have been at low prices, and gradually declining; but the reports of the market for the last few days are rather more favourable. On the 15th of July there will be a sale of 3,500 chests of Indigo; the qualities are expected to be mostly fine and good, and prices probably high. The Company's Spice sale to be on the 11th of August. LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. The following Works are in the Press :Imaginary Conversations of Literary Men and Statesmen, By Walter Savage Landor, Esq.
