GENERAL TELEGRAMS.

Lostdos, June 21—The Mark Lane Express says: The rains at the beginning of the week, and the subsequent sunshine materially improved the condition of cereals, although the wheat plant in some places is reported thin; out generally speaking there are sanguine hopes of a fair average crop. Tbs prospects of barley an also favorable. The supplies of English wheat in both Mark Lane and provinces have coo tinned small, and sales restricted. There has been occasional decline of a shilling per quarter for inferior descriptions. The demand for little, line white English wheat, which was on offer, has doubtless been interfered with by the a rge arrivals of Australian. The imports of foreign wheat into London consisted almost entirely of white, from Australia, New Zealand and India. Trade has been less firm, the oonsamptive requirements of the country daring the next two months should be quite sufficient to neutralize the tendency to discount the effects of a good home crop, while the continent may be relied upon to retrieve the arrivals of the woportion of shipments from America. Posahasas the past week have been for present requirements. All descriptions of white wheat receded one shilling under the preamre of large supplies. Red has not shared .the decline, as the stocks of American and Rnagfaa how remaining in Looduo are sufficiently low to warrant the holders in showing great firmness. It needs only a slight increase in demand to advance prices e shilling or two, as Russia is shipping haydly any, while Ted winter American has been bought off the const for the continent and large quantities also have been shipped thither direct. The markets now will to s great extent be goverened by the weather, but there does not seem to be much probability of the price of wheat varying greatly from that of the previous harvest. It ’ the present Crop prospects on both hemispheres are realized, tne trade will have to deal with an unprecedented surplus of breadstuff's. The arrivals at ports on call have been limited, but prices are drooping. The coast is still bare of maize. America haa not offered wheat for shipment quite so freely, but prices continue to decline, especially for prompt ship, mcnt,

When Mr. Bradlaugh. presented himself at the table the speaker ftrfOnned him that, in consequence of the resolution of yesterday, he must retire. Mir. iadlaugh wished to address (he speaker, but the opposition cried “withdraw,”, and the speaker informed tom Hurt he must withdraw. Mr; Lobaochere moved that Mr. Bradlaugh be heard at the bar. Agreed to. Mr. Bradtaugh eloquently combatted the resolution against him. He said it was unprecedented to condemn any one unheard. He argued against being accused of atheism. He would not forego his opinion or claims to a seat. Tne house might expel him, but until he had taken hisseatlt has no jurisdiction. The bouse cannot override the law which perr. p ss not be, it most be made. He asked the house to give him the justice which the judge* would give him, if appealed to. He was loudly cheered.

Turning to the company who were present, and who crowded into the room to extend congratulations, General Hancock said“ Thank you, all, for your good wishes and congratulations on my

nomination. It is impossible, at the present moment, to say- anything on this subject It is a great surprise to me, and one that 1 was entirely unprepared for. I can only thank my friends for this mark of distinction, and to the gentlemeu of the press, I can only add thu the dispatch I hold m my hand was a great surprise to me. I thank you all for your congratulations.’’ To a member of the press who had called to see the General, on matters connected with the recent military examination, he said“ Had you called an hour since I might have given yon the information desired. The position I am placed in at present debars me from making any statement relative to the snbject.” The General shook hands with many of his friends who came crowding into his headquarters, to express their gratification at nis nomination. Battlx Cheek, Mich., June 24.— H. D. Merrill, 61 Johnstown, Barry county, just north of this city, who has found lately, upon his farm, numerous relics ot ancient origin, plowed up, a few days ago, a most peculiar arrow-head, about art inches long and three inches wide at the shank. It runs to a sharp point, and the edges are nearly as sharp a knife. The metal of which it is wrought is pure, and the weapon was evidently made for efficient service. The arrow-head was plowed up on a spot which was occupied lor the post twenty yean by a stone heap. About two years ago he found a copper knife in grading for tbe railroad between the villages of Hastings and Kalamazoo, and it is now in possession of tbe Hon. Daniel Striker, of Hastings. Mr. Striker has also the image of a bear, about the size of a small cub, carved iu hard stone, which was found a short distance north of Hustings. It is thought that these implements were used by the Indians at least two centuries ago, as the relic was covered with eight inches of solid earth. It is possible that it was an instrument of death introduced among tbe savages by the earliest French settlers or traders, bat all this is mere conjecture. It is certainly an interesting Subject for tbe the antiquarian and those who are curious to investigate the facts ■of aboriginal history. This vicinity of Michigan is prolific in evidences ot an ancient race previous to tbe recent tribes of red men which have inhabited It, and was undoubtedly the lana of the mound builders, m many evidences of semi-civili-zation are found hereabonts, prominent among them being mounds and fortifications.

Philadklphia, pa., Jane 15.—Wharton Barker, of this city, is to start for Russia to-morrow, at the solicitation of the Czar, to develop the great iron and coal fields of Southern Russia, bordering on tbe Sea of Azof. Mr. Barker acted as agent for the Russian government two years ago while the cruisers were being fitted out in Ibis country. The Cxar has tendered to Mr. Barker personally tbe sole right of opening np the Donets coalfields, north of the Sea of Azof; the iron deposits of Krivoi Rog,' northof th§ Crimea; tlfo construction of a railway system trom the Sea of Asof, a distance of 200 miies ij a northerly di‘rsetion; the establish in on t of & great shipping port on the sea; the erection of works lor tbe manufacturing of Bessemer steel rails, and the'building of grain elevators. This offer was made to Mr. Barker while in Russia about a year ago, and he was Informed that the concession wop Id be extended for eighty years. He at once employed a corps of engineers, under Henry A. Vezir, of this city, to make a geological survey of the country, and charts were prepared showing the immense veins of iron and coal extending across the greater portion of Southern Ruasi v The reports of the exports were so satisfactory that after a careful again.

iMttom of tbnetallta a number ot capital JN«W York agreed to subscribe the necessary funds tot the promotion ot the test undertaking, whldi, rtf# believed, will requira more than $8,000,000. The nutter has been keptvery quiet, as the gentlemen connected with the enterprise do not believe in divulging their plans until they are ready to begin the work. Wayne MscVeagh will accompany Mr. Barker as counsel, sod a number of experts will go along, among them John Frits, of (he Bethlehem Iron Com pany, Charles 8. Hinchnun, of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, aad 8. T. Fuller, Chief Engineer of the Philadelphia, Wilmington aad Baltimore railroad. • The seaport to be selected will probably be Taganrog, on the north shore of the Azof. lb. Barker aaye that eight millions of capital will be required. Colonel Thos. A. Scott said this was one of the greatest enterprises ever entered into. A railroad will nut from the seaport to the grain fields of the interior. Elevators will be erected to aid in handling grain, and a line of steamers will be established from that port to Philadelphia. sail In the Beythia from New York, to-morrow. North Adahb, Mass., Jane 24.—The facta regarding the reports of the caving in of the central shaft of the Hooaac Tunnel are ae follows: This morning, about 1 o’clock the timbers of the upper flooring of the central shaft, which is used to keep the looee stone# from falling, gave wav, precipitating a large quantity of timber and such fragments of rock as had collected on it for past five years, to the track below. Luckily the workmen were not near at the time, and no trains were passing. Trains were delayed about four hours, until the rubbish was removed. There was, naturally, great excitement over the reports, and all sorts of exaggerated stories were circulated. There is no damage, as the removing of the flooring was about to be made.

Canto*, 0., June 26.—Early this morning crowds thronged around the jail and rapidly increased as the time of the execution approached. The boys arose early. Ohr slept four hour* and was up at four. He spent some time with his spirtu&l advisor but ate no breakfast. Sammet slept about six hours and arose and washing himself ate his breakfast with good rellish, and felt refreshed. He walked about the corridor in good spirits. Mann was restless but got some sleep. Judge Myer’s daughter, who has been unremitting in her efforts to obtain a commutation of his sentence, was with him until 6 o’clock, when she retired for a short rest Mann ate no breakfast. The sheriff called Gustave Ahr into his cell at 8:40 to read him his death warrant. At first Ahr did not understand what was coming, but soon discovered, and bravely said, “that’s all right. I know now what’s coming." The Sheriff then read the fatal papers. Ahr listened without a shudder. The sheriff next called John Sammet. He knew what was coming, and said, “I ana ready; hurry.” He never flinched, and at the end remarked, “well its got to come, and thero is no use or whining about it. lam ready." The sheriff then called George Mann, who was surprised, and looked over the sheriff’s shoulder while he read. When he came to the words “to be hanged by tho neck until dead," Mann shuddered and trembled nervously, and when finished, burst into tears. About 9:80 Miss Myers returned to Mann’s cell, with Mann’s grandmother, completely broken down. Ohr was standlog by, and asked to clear Maun s recora regarding his actual participation in the murder. Ohr replied that he had told the truth and could say no more. Mann broke out sobbing and crying, “Oh, Lord, you know I did not do it." Ohr was pressed by Mann te change his story. He refused and said, “I can’t tell a lie myself to exonerate anybody," and added, “I can die like a man, and don’t see why he can’t." When Miss Meyer and Mrs. Mann left George for the mat time, the scene was very affecting. Mrs. Mann was torn from the prisoner and Miss Meyer piteously kissed the boy as she left. The boys held a consultation and agreed that it was better to get out of their misery as soon after 11 o’clock as possible. At 10:15 a.m. an excellent dinner was served in Sammet’s cell for the three, but Ohr refused to eat with Mann and went into another cell, and at 11:35 the prisoners, having been manacled, were placed on the scaffold. Ohr and Sammet looked into the crowd, and recognizing friends, called them by name, saying, "good bye." Mann conversed in a low tone with his spiritual adviser. The sheriff and deputies then fixed the ropes An their necks. Sammet said, “Henry, that's too tight, cant you make it looser ?*’ Mann said,“into thy hands, oh God,l commit my Sirit” The sheriff asked the boys it ey bad anything to say. They replied nothing. Sheriff Attekruse kissed each of them and put the black caps on them, and stood back. Ohr cried, “good-by, gentleman; good-bye, ail.” Sammet repeated this and added, “God bless poor grandmother.” Mann’s last words were the prayer he has constantly repeated. The trap was sprung at 11:46 ». m.. and the three boys dropped to death. Ohr moved the muscles of one leg only. Sammet did not move a muscle. Mmn moved his legs and drew up his shoulders, and was dead in eight minutes; Sammet m ten minutes, and Ohr in thirteen minutes. All three necks were broken.
