grapes; and in Spain, from a dry chilling east wind.-In any other of the usual articles
of commerce commonly enumerated by us, there is no alteration sufficient to claim notice.

ly our trade to that quarter limited and insecure. There seems to be a great deal of bu-
siness doing up the Mediterranean. The shipments from Britain to that quarter have for
some time back been very extensive. The wood trade also from the British North Ame-
rican colonies to the ports of Clyde is becoming very great, and daily increasing.

At Glasgow, the Rev. Dr Robert Balfour, after an illness which attacked him suddenly on the street in the preceding day, which did not admit of his reaching home, and which terminated fatally in the friend's house to which he had been conducted, in about thirty-two hours.
