The intelligence is rather important than otiter- wise,and in a commercial point of view rather fa- I The depression in the cotton market was only of a temporary characier, and produced by the in- activity in the manufacturing districts more than by an excess in the supply of the raw material. In the money market very little change had taken politieal questions in agitation rather an un fa- vorable influence upon the market, affrect- ing operations, however, more than quotatirens. As soon as these questions were disposed uff, it was anticipated there would be a general im- provement in commercial matters. Oonside rable interest had been excited by the position the new cabinet hadtaken in relation tothe sugar duties. The proposition made by the prime minister had been ‘well received, and there was every probability of the new ministry sustaining itself upon this question. If it succeeds in so doing, it will give them strength and create public confi- moment in Great Britain. The accounts from the continent of Europe, in rglation to the harvests, are very unfavorabl-, as itappears pretty well settled that the crops of Russia will turn out almost a complete failure. Should this prove to be the fect, it will be a fortu- nate thing for the agricultural interests of this country. If these accounts are true, amd if the harvests’ of Great Britain turn out to bea full average, there will bea demand for ovr agricul- tural products which we could not otherwise ex- pect. There is a deficiency in the harvest of Great Britain every year—that is, the home sup- ply is never equal to the home demand for con- famption, and an annual importation is made from the grain-growing countries of the Conti- nent, particularly from Russia. This supply be- ing in all probability cut off by the deficient har- vest in that country, attention must be turned to this country. We shall not only be required to supply. the deficiency in Great Britain, butif the ‘accounts from the North of Europe are not ex- aggerated, there is every probability of a supply being required from us to feed the people of those countries. The changes in the corn laws of Great Britain may be an immediate benefit to the people of that country, and prove at once more advantage- ous to us than we anticipated. It is only under circumstances similar to those given above that the modification of these laws will be of any par- ticular service to our agricultural interests, Whenever there is a general deficiency in the harvests of Europe, we have the monopoly of the supply. The harvests of this country never were naore abundant than they have been thisyear. We have breadstuffs sufficient to feed the nations of Eu- rope. This is infact the granary of the world; and if there wasa demand corresponding with our ability to produce, we could supply the world with the staff of life. A very moderate foreign demand for our breadstuffs will havea very fa- vorable effect upon prices. An outlet for u very small per cent of the surplus product, has a very wonderful effect upon the price of that remain- ing, and an unexpected external demand to any extent invariably inflates prices, and produces speculation. It is to be hoped that the scenes of last fall will not be acted over again. The ruin which followed the speculations of that period has not yet been forgotten, and we trust that it will exert a great influence in preventing similar ope- rations this year. compelled in self defence to advert to the misma- nagement of the Post Office in this city again. Sunday last, we received a letter from our corres- pondent in New Orleans, dated on the same day when the New Orleans Picaywe mailed an Extra to us, and we did not receive the extra till about eight o’clock the nextday, Monday. Both arrived by tne same mail, but for some cause or other, the paper was suffered to remain some eighteen or twenty hours in the Post Office, before it was de- livered to us. We are getting out of patience with the whole affair, and sincerely wish thatthe | ides of November were come, so that we might | plant Morris in the gubernatorial chair,and thus get rid of him. But if he were put in that high office, it would be ten chances to one that he would not stay put, but would hunt up some other office for which he would get as near four dollars per day as possible. We are about done with the Post Office, however; we can’t expect any thing from Cave Johnson. VWée believe he is loca- ted in the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, away in the darkest corner, so dark that it isimpossible for him to read the newspapers. | Tue Hon. Lovis McLans.—We learn by a gentleman who arrived yesterday in the Great Western, that Mr. McLane, our Minister at the Court of St. James, will potitively return home in the packet of the 19.h inst. During Mr. Mo- Lane’s residence in England, he has on all occa- | sions supported the dignity of his country, and demeaned himself as becomes the representative of a great and powerful nation. He has acquired a host of friends, and made himeelf very popular by his succeseful exertions to settle the Oregon question and preserve the peace of the world. The triends of peace, and the merchant princes of Liverpool, gave a sumptuous entertainment in token of thetr estimation of him; and we think it would not bea bad idea, for our merchants and people in this city, to give him a like compliment here when he return: F Sreamsurr Great Western.—We think the Bostonians had better give up the contest, and adceit at once, honestly, that this steamship is’ Lenderbank, Cinn; J.
