It is important, both in a commercial and a political point of view.— | The commercial accounts are of the greatest im- | portance tous. The probable rupture in the en- | tentecordiale of France and England on the ques- | tion of the marriage of the Queen of Spain, may be of importance to us in time tocome, We have carefully examined the accounts, and have arrived at the conclusion that the harvests throughout Europe have been deficient. In France the domestic supplies of grain will not suffice for the domestic consumption, and at least two million quarters of corn in addition to the crops of that | country, will be required to meet the wants for | consumption. This not only cuts off supplies from France, to meet any demand {rom Great Britain, but will require from some source, a very large | quantity. In the other grain growing countries on the continent, there has aiso been a deficiency in the harvests; and the sources to which Great Britain has heretofore looked for supplies to make good any deficiency in her own harvests, have this year proved defective, and the attention | of those engaged in this trade in the United King- | dom, must be turned to the United States for whatever they want. It has been asgerted at public meetings in England, that the surplus agricultural produc- | tion of this country, as great as it undoubtedly is, would not suffice to supply the deficiency in \ ii Great Britain and France. This is going too far; | and although we look for exaggeration on all sides, it is our impression that it will not require fifty per cent of our surplus to meet any and every demand from any part of the world. The advocates and opponents ot free trade, in this country and in England, take very strange views in relation to the bearing the existing high prices for breadstaffs has upon the principles of the two partes.

Ac- cording to their theory, the home market is abag- atelle compared with those abroad; and itmust be admitted that circumstances, so far, this year, have confirmed their principles. These circum- stances have, however, been produced by events, spi for all ov s put dc | control. Had it not been for the failure of the po- | tato crop throughout Europe, and had not the | harvests generally been deficient;‘prices for bread- | stuffs, both in this country and in Europe, would | have beenlower than have been realized for many | years; and the opposite parties, viz: the protec- | tionists in this country and the free traders in England, would have been in ecstacy.

Eriscopat, Convenrion.—By reference to a ree | port of this body, in another column, it will be | perceived that Bishop Onderdonk and his friends have achieved a most signal victory over the op- | position. By a tremendous majority the conven- | tion passed a resolution, directing the trustees of | the Episcopal fund topay to the Bishop the sum of $2,500 annually from the 1st October next, for | two years, the Bishop giving security to return | the same, if some competent tribunal should de- | cide that he was not entitled to be paid any sala- | ry during his suspension.

The mistake was soon discovered ; an arrangement was made to keep the Cam- bria back for an hour or so, and Mr, Pomeroy, the chief officer of the post office, started an express over old Colony road to bring back the missing mail. He snc- ceeded in reaching it, and was on his way back to e city, an’ reached the draw over the Neponset river with- out accident.
