The European Corn Trade. {From the Mark Lane Express, August 17.] The complaints respecting the potato crop have be- come so universal as to create considerable uneasiner: ‘until very recently we were disposed to believe that the mischief likely to result from the disease, which hes for the second time attacked this crop, had been greatly ex- aggerated. We were, therefore. induced to take more than ordinary care in collecting information on the sub- ject, and are sorry to say that the reports from corres- hepa in whose statements we are bound to place the ‘ullest reliance, are of a nature sufficiently alarming.— ‘That the disorder prevails ostensival’s Scotland. and Ireland, no longer sdmits of doubt; and that its effects will be more severely felt than last is nearly as certain. In the first place a less bread! land was planted than usual this spring, owing to the doubts reasonably entertained as to the policy ot putting much ground under th@ crop whilst the origin and na- tuve of the disease of the previous season remained in- volved in mystery. The severe drought of May, June, and part of July, wes certainly very unfavorable, inas- much as moisture is highly needed by this plant during the summer months ; and it is more than probable that the produce from this cause alone would have been very all ever England, short, even if there had been no return of the blight, | | murrain, or whatever else the disorder in question may be termed. Under these circumstances a very material deficiency must, we fear, be reckoned on; and substi- tutes of one sort or other will be required to an extent which is likely to affect prices of almost all arti cles of food. An unusuwlly large consumption of wheat is, therefore, likely to take place during the autumn and winter, and we much question whether the value thereof will long continue as low as it is at present. The weather has. during the week, been unsettled, and harvest opera- tions have been. more or less, interrupted by the show- ers which have fallen at intervals. Should that portion of the crop still out ke secured in good order, the pro- duce of wheat of t e Un ted Kingdom would, we think, fall little, if any, short of a full average ; but there is still a great deal in the fields north of the Humber, the quality of which stands in danger of being injured, unless the weather should become really fine. alresdy been dene, the heat and moisture having, in partial instances, caused the corn to sprout in the ear; these cases are perhaps at present rare, there having been far less rain in the north than in the south, where comparatively little wheat is now abroad. The showers have, nevertheless, caused a feverish and uneasy feel- ing ; and holders of wheat have shown much less anxi- ety to realize, whilst the inclination to get into stock has cecidedly increased. Hitherto no very great change has occurred in prices, but the tendency has been upwards at all the leading provincial markets held since our last. At Liverpool, on Tuesday, business was rather check- ed by the high pretensions of sellers ; still a good many sales of wheat were effected at an enhancement of 2d to 3d per 70 Ibs. onthe curreney of thac day se’nnig! ty whilst American flour moved off freely at an advance of | 6d per bbl Later in the week the demand for both these | articles was less active ; still the rise was well maintain- ed on Friday At the leadin f,{owns in Yorkshire, tolerable supplies of wheat have been brought forward, which has tended to prevent any material rise in quotations ; the turn was, vevertheless, against the buyer both at Leeds and Hull on Tuesday, whilst at Wakelield on Friday the best qualities sold readily at an advance of 2s per qr. on the | curresey of that day se’nnight. In the western and northwestern parts of the kingdom, the rise has been more decided than at the places slresdy | referred From Birmingham we learn thar old wheat | found buyers on Thursday at 2s., and new at 34 per qr. more than on that day se’nnight. At Bristol, the advance was nearly to the same extent, as weil as at several of | the neighboring ma:kets. | From the chief shipping ports on the east coast, the ac- | counts are of a similar nature. ‘One of the principal causes assigned by sellers for the firm tone they have all at once assumed, is, that yield of the wheat from the straw, when put to the test of thrashing, proves much below expectation. Many | farmers express themselves greatly dissatisfied on this point, but too little is at present known to admit of a very accurate estimate of the total production of the kingdom being formed ; itmay, however, be pretty safe- ly coucluded that the crop of 1846 will not turn out so superabundant as was at once predicted. The fact that prices of wheat re actually lower in most of the coun- tries from which Great Britain usually draws supplies when she requires foreign aid, than they are in England, is also calculated to impart confidence to holders of the article. France, Belgium and Holland, effurd better mar kets at present than England ; and so long as this con- tinues to be the case, shipments from the Baltic are not likely to be made to this country. We have, therefore, come to the conclusion that wheat is not to fall to such ruinously low prices as was at one time anticipated. By our advices from Scotland, we learn that what firmer tone of the account spread of the potato disease, had cai Kinds of grain to raise their pre’ burgh, as well as at well as flour and meal, Wednesuay. Most of our letters from Ireland allude to the potato disease ; but quotations of whe: do not appear to have been much effected by pated scarcity of the staple article of tod to the poorer classes ‘The arrivals of waeat © wise into London have been very small, only 3865 quarters having been report: ed up to this (Suturday) evening.

English beans have become very scarce, the stocks of old having ‘been reduced into a narrow compass, and no new having been brought forward.

Would it, under such circumstances, be either fair or potitic to discourage the importation of the latter articles, though greatly wanted, because barley happened to be plentiful and cheap ?— | sem. however, would be the working of the existing scale. From the North of Europe the accounts are of pre- cisely the same character as before, and scarcely any- thir ppears to have been done in wheat at the leading | in the Baltic.

No doubt the apprehension of money wants for railway purposes has checked the enterprise of speculators, as well as urged upon the market property which, under other cir- | cumstances, would have lain over undisturbol. Alto- | gether we have passed rather.a dull week. From the Inited States we have aconfirmation of previous re- ports, namely, that the crop now on the ground is likely to prove a moderate one, and under any circumstances ‘must be late in its gathering. 1500 American. and 1,000 Surats have been taken on speculation, and 2,360 ‘meri- can and 260 Surats for export.

To-day (Aug. 18,) there was a pretty fair demand, both speculators and the trade taking a part. In prices, of the general disposition of the market, there is no change to report; but neither the business of yesterday nor today seem sufficient to re- trieve us from some appearance of dullness. The sales to-day are estimated at 6,000 bales, of which speculators have taken 700 American, and exporters 500 bales ; 1,00) Brazils, consisting of 800 Bahia, at 6d to 63d, and 100 Pernam at 63d to 6%sd have been taken for the trade, the market closing steadily.

Steamship Great Britain. This steamer is not now on her passage, as ma- n, may suppose. Owing to her touching bottom on Newfoundlard she is to go into dock for exam- ination. She will not, therefore, leave Liverpool till the 22d inst. The Cambria will be the next steamer due.— She was to have left Liverpool ‘yesterday. The Foreign News.—Its Political and Com. mercial Gharacter. By the arrival of the steamship Britannia, at Boston, from Liverpool, we have advices from all parts of Europe fifteen days later than those received by the Caledonia. Politically, the news possesses very little im- portance ; commercially, it is favorable: and that is all. The crops are likely to be full an average, and the corn markets were in a very satisfactory condition. There had been a very fair business done in cotton, at improving prices, and there | from this side, in relation to the crop which has now reached market and that now on the ground reach England, there will be, without doubt, a speculative movement to some extent in the arti- cle. As the deficiency this year has been so | great, and that next season bids fair to be much greater, their cannot but be an attempt made, particularly in the principal markets of Great Britain, among speculators, to avail themselves of the state of things, to create as great a monopoly as possible. The consumption this year will be large, reaching the regular in- crease, and the demand will, therefore, be larger in proportion to the supply than has been expe- rienced for years. According to the estimated per cent increase in the growth of this staple, the crop should this year—that is the receipts from Sep- tember Ist, 1846, to September Ist, 1847—be instead of which, the yield will not, according to present appearances, reach two millions of bales. In view of these facts, we cannot resist the con- | clusion, but that holders and growers of cotton prices for the raw material than has been known for the past five years. The money markets of Europe were, at the latest dates, in a very easy condition. Capital | was plenty enough for all legitimate commercial | purposes, but fears were entertained in Great Bntain that the railway mania would lead toa | derangement of the currency of the country, and | to much difficulty and embarrassment in the | financial world. | Tue Strate Convention.—Tue Brocress oF Lasor.—This body has, ig appears, agreed by re- solution, to adjourn on the 6th day of October | sion four full months, at an expense to the State ol many thousand dollars more than was neces- sary. We say necessary, because a great deal of time has been expenged in debating upon, refer- ing, and reporting upon matters which the major- ity ofthe members knew could not be finally act- edupon. Whata contrast we have between the Convention of professional men, mostly assem- _ bled for the purpose of remodelling the Constitu- tion and the convention of the State of Iowa, whose duty it was to form an entifely new con stitution for that new State. The first takes four months, and the latter only thirteen days. 1t was not until lately, however, that ourconvention made much progressin performing the task thattheywere elected to perform, and then they went to work cutting and slashing in all directions. After a com- | paratively short debate, some seven or eight hun- | dred offices were abolished by the besom of re- form. All the inspectors of hay, lime, pork, &c, &c., were swept away by a single resolution not | over ten lines in length. This was, undoubtedly, acapital movement, and one that will receive the approbation of the people. Masters and exam- iners in chancery have likewise been abolished, and the profession of the law annihilated. We are disposed to believe that this last measure is too violent, but it is in consonance with the hostile spirit that has been manifested in this State for years past towards the legal profession. This spirit of hostility has been manifested re- peatedly in the Legislature, and on every opportu- nity it has been ind algedin. Thus, at one time,we have seen the fee-bill clipned, and reduced every successive winter,until it has been reduced so low | as to be far from remunerating. At another time, | we have seen resolutions introduced throwing open the profession to ail persons who on exami- nation should be found qualified. The carrying of this last measure was, howew:r, reserved for the Cenvention, which has consigned the profession to the same fate that was meted out to the fee- bill. They are both gone. Peace to their manes, Other measures have been passed upon by the the establishing in lieu thereof of a Supreme and equity. two Judges—four to each Senate District, and will be the highest court in the State, except the proposed court of appeals, which will. be com- posed of eight judges, four of whom will be elect- ed by'the people, and the other four will consist aa of Supreme court judges, whose term ot office as such judges will have expired. Such is the pro- posed reform in the judiciary, a matter which has taken more time, and been the su! ject of more de- bate, than all the other measures combined. | There is one matter, however, which has as | yetescaped the notice of the Convention, and | which we hope will not be overlooked—thatis the total repeal of the ustiry laws. This is a measure which the people expect and the business of the country requires. There is no earthly reason that money should not, like every thing else, have a market value according to its abundance | Orscarcity, and any attempt on the part of the le- gislature to fix a value upon itis ridiculous. At | one time it may be worth only 3 per cent a year, | | and another it may be worth ten, fifteen, or per- | | haps twenty. The usury laws that now exist are only resorted to by rogues and other unprinci- pled men. No honest man will object to repay aloan of money because he agreed to give more interest than the law tolerates. If it were not worth more to him at the time he borrowed it than the legal interest, he would not have borrowed it, except with the view of cheating the lender by taking advantage of the law. We hope and trust the Convention wiil not adjourn as long as these laws remain unrepealed. Mr. Bucuaxan.— The Hon. James Buchanan Secretary of State of the United Si a t for Salatoge, through this city yesterday, en route | where he is to remain for a week or ten days. were indications of a further improvement, both | in the demand and in qualities. As the accounts | nearer three millions of bales than two millions ; , will, within the next twelve months, realize better | next, by which time they will have been in ses- | Convention within a short time, among which the abolition of the Courts of Errors and Chan- cery is the first in importance and interest, and Court, vested with jurisdiction in beth law This court will consist of thirty- Jznszy Crty Ferry.—We believe the Common Council will assemble again next Tuesday eve- | ning. We hepe that Assistant Alderman Smith will not forget to urge upon the Common Council | the impropriety of renewing the lease to the Jer- | sey City Company, except on such conditions as will be satisfactory to the public. By the old lease, his Company was bound to run a boat every ten minutes. Instead of, however, following their agreement, they run but one boat every quarter of an hour during the day—every half hour during the evening, and none from twelve o’clock at night (iatterly from 1 A. M.) until morning, and thena boat every half hour. This ferry is lookod upon as a monopoly and they think from their wealth, that they are be- yond the reach of public opimon. The rent which they have heretofore paid for the exclusive use of the slip foot of Courtlandt Street, is entirely too small, and ouglit to be in- creased to the same amount that is paid by the Fulton Ferry Company. They are abundantly able to pay it, for they assume to own all the wa. ter rights adjacent to Jersey City, and therefore pay no rent on that side of the river. Atallevents, the people must be better aecommodated than heretofore, The State of New Jersey and the city of Phila- delphia, to a great extent, are tributary to this company, and swell its receipts so much that not a share of the stock is in the market. Tus Ocean Racr.—The great, the stupendous race over the Adantic course, always heavy, be- cause very wet, between the Cambria and Great Britain, has resulted in the defeat 0; the latter. The time and speed can be summed up in the following way :— Garat Bartain.—Passage 13 days 8 houre ; detention, 18hours. Difference in distance 90 hours. ime, com- pared with Cambria’s, 11 days and 8 hours. Ca a.—Time from Boston to Liverpool, via Halifax, 10 days, 8hours. This gives a difference of twenty-four hours in | favor of the Cambria. But it is our honest opin- | jon that the Great Briiain is the fastest steamer. Take the two vessels, trim them alike, have their machinery in perfect order, and start them to_ gether from the same pier, and we believe that the Cambria wouid be beaten. But why race? ‘The Cambria, the Great Bri- tain, the Atlantic, the Oregon, are certainly fast enough for all useful purposes. The spirit of the age, however, urges them on.
