After a few minutes of breathless sus pense, his loud hurried knock was answer, ed by tho landlord, who, thrusting bis head oul of the garret window, demanded, in no very geniio tone, the cause of such an unreasonable attack upon his door.

One of the most singular features in the eastern markets, in view of Iho remarka ble season of drouth, is ihe decline in the price of brcadstulfs. Flour, during the past week, in New York, declined about fifty cents a barrel. Tito result is attrib uted by some to iho fresh supplies received from mills that havo started since the late rains; others, with moro reason, atiribu'.o the change lo the limited demand of flour for export, in consequence of gooJ crops on the Continent. In Ireland, we learn from a gentleman who is recently travel ed through most of tho counties, the pota to crop is excellent, and bus suffered but liitle from iho blight.
