A .New York letter of Saturday says -Ane most important news to day relates, to an extraordinary r de mand for our new; crop of wheat on British and Continental account. Yesterday and to-day's cablegrams were received ordering purchases for about all that could be had at current figures, and when it is added that transactions for the weekV have jrvqi up to the enormous aggregate jot nearly two millions of bushels, the magnitude as well as the urgency of tho movement will be comprehended. These operations, it should be ob served, have been attended with lit tle or no excitement, the parties en gaged in filling the orders apparently being desirous of executing them, for obvious reasons, as quietly as possible. In addition to the fact that one' of the 6teamshipline8 had let all its avail able 'grain room'1 two months ahead, it, may be stated that like offers to othertne8 have been declined unless at an advance on present rates. Par ties most conversant with the grain trade are persuaded that there is something about this ; movement which is not apparent on the surface. These heavy purchases on European account cannot bo on the calculation that our harvests are to turn out badly, as all the reports from the West, within the past few dayhave been of a character to show ; that the crops are to be fully up to the aver age. Even the corn, which was in some danger of rust from excessive wet weather, is turning out much bet ter than was expected. These facts are as well known abroad as at home. It is assumed, therefore, that the pur chasers on the other side ) must have some information concerning the war of a kind to convince them that it is going to be protracted and that England will not be able to keep out of it a great while longer. It is hardly necessary to add tnat these opera tions have been attended by a marked advance in prices." 1 i i Barbecue Poetry. .-" j (Raleigh Observer.

The re port is as follows: I io the Mayor and Board , of Aldermen : r Gentlemen: In accordance with -your instructions, we have placed our committee in communication with the Board of Health of New, Hanover county. . ! Being unwilling to assume so great a re sponsibility, and deeming it wise and ex pedient, we requested a meeting of the Board of Health, to determine if, in their judgment,; it would be safe to allow the Spanish vessels now lying below the city to come up to tho wharves and receive : car goes. . The Board met, and under certain restrictions, such as thorough fumigation, cleansing the Crew, and a free application of disinfectants, concluded to allow them to approach the city. 1 In reference; to the brig Mary Frost, now detained at the quarantine station with sickness on board, we recommend that the Quarantine Physician be instructed not to Allow her to leave the station until 30 days shall have elapsed since she entered the river, and then subjected to a thorough fu migationprovided there be no sickness on her for the preceding fifteen days, and her ballast discharged at least ten miles below the city. !. . We further recommend that the City Clerk be instructed i to immediately notify the Spanish Vice Consul, in this city, that no vessels sailing or clearing from any of the Spanish ports usually infected with yellow fever, will be Tallowed to enter this port after the 15th of June or before the 1st of October.

" . The Board then adjourned. " Arrested .Under Suspicion ' stance. ' .: Clrenm. A white man by the name of Joseph Kelley, a stranger in the city, and who claims to have Come here from Boston, was arrested ye'sterday morning, about a quar ter past 3 o'clock, under rather suspicious circumstances. It appears that the private watchman on the wharf of Messrs. Worth & Worth thought he discovered the flashing of a light in the office of Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son, on tbe adjoining wharf, and went over to Messrs. Colville & Co.'s mill, which adjoins the latter wharf on the north side, and conferred with the watchman there, who also has charge ' of the Messrs. Sprunt'swharf,in regard to the matter. They both noticed the flashing of the light refer red to, and went out on the street and got the assistance of officers E. Allen and M. E. Walker, of the police force, with the view of instituting an investigation. The party repaired) to Jhe Messrs; Sprunt's office, on the Western side of which (in the second story) they found a window hoisted and upon entering the same from the veran andah the man Kelley was discovered stand ing in the room. The, private watchman who has charge of the premises a colored man approached Kelley and inserted his hand in his collar, whea Kelley also collared then watchman,'; cursed him and made a remark to the effect that it would afford him pleasure to kill about seven just like hini.and it is said he had a seven-shooter in his disengaged band at the time, with, which he seemed prepared to execute his implied threat. Officer Allen then stepped up and told the watchman that he would take charge of the prisoner, who offered no fur ther resistance, surrendering his "shooting iron" to Officer Walker and accompanying the policeman to the station house. ,' :n . ... Upon examining the office, after Kelley was arrested, several of the desk drawers were found open and papers disarranged, and both the outside and inside doors of the vault, in which the safe , was , located, -were open. . We learn, however, that the latter had not been fastened. , ; 4 Kelley says that he was asleep . on .the piazza when it commenced-raining, and he then raised the window and went inside to keep dry ; that the flashes of light seen by the watchman were caused by his repeated attempts to light , his pipe by , striking matches, and that he entered the vault to strike one of them. He had a carpet-sack containing $2 16 a currency, a Barlow knife, a lot of I matches, two soldering irons, a file, hammer, . hard chisel three bars osolde an awlr a phial containirii acid, a few articles of fclothing,'j '2., including the pistol which he gav ' cer Walker, some of the W'-zl-8essior;'incMcating that ha trr- .... ; WHOLE NO. 3,106 tfomestlc: Broil A Colored Man and Wife Arrested for Fighting, - John Grady and. his wife, i Anna " Jane Grady, colored, were arrested by officer G. ,W., Davis, yesterday .morning, about J o'clock, under the following circumstances It was reported to the officer by persons residing in the neighborhood of' Grady's house, which is on , Brunswick; : between Fourth and Fifth streets, that a fight or an "affray, of some sort was in progress, within the building, the discharge of, a, weapon of some kind having been heard, together with other noisy demonstration's,' in ' the house Officer Davis entered and. found ' Consider' able - blood about the room in which Grady and his- wife were discovered, while the former had a deep gash cut in his left arm or wrist, from which the blood, was flowing freely. The couple were arrested andiodged in' the guard house, but the woman was subsequently released upon entering into the necessary bond for her appearance when called for. , The neigh bors say that Grady exhibits indications of being somewhat demented, and that difficul ties between himself and wife are quite frequent ' ..

The case of Hardy Wright, charged with perjury, came up for a hearing before Justice Harriss yesterday morning. The charge, as before stated, was based on the evidence given by defendant in the case of Wm. Buchanan and others, tried and con" victed at the last session of the Criminal Court for. disturbing a religious congrega tion.
