Letters from Danzig, of the 7th of August, state that the potatoes were extensively aSeoted in that neighbor- hvod, and that the weather had for some da’s been un- favorable for the growing grain crops. Notwithstanding there circumstances business had been exceedingly dull, owing to the discouraging tone of the British advicey, and the tendency of prices had been decidedly down- wards From Koningsberg the accounts are of a similar cha- raoter; harvest operations had, we are informed, been a goat ral intercupted by frequent heavy showers, which pad also, it was supposed, dove more or less damage to th» quality “f the corn. Wheat had heen almost wholly neglected; and so unimportant had been the ope- ratious, that quotations were regurded as nominal. Letters from Rostock, of the 9th inst, state that har- ‘vost was. on he whole, progressing favorably, though occasionally Mterrupted by rain, With hardly any stocks of cidcorn remuining, and but little disposition to buy, the valueof wheat had remained nominally un- altered. From Hamburg we learn that a small parcel of new red wheat was exhibited at that market on Tuesday, the quality of which was fine, and the weight 62ibs per bush- el. The price ebtained for this lot was equal to 61s per quarter free on board, The transactions in wheat had since the previous pat day been on the most restricted scale, and contined entirely to small purchases made for local consumption, | New Suale barley had sppeared, weighing 62lbs per bushel, for which 344 per quarter ha deen realized. trom Holland and Belgium the reporea relative te the potato erop are dvcidedly uvfavorabie; but i the pre- sent position of the corn trade the importance of a fail- ‘ure of this article of universal consumption at home aud abroad is disregarded. The letters from Marseilles and other Mediterranean ports do not say much respecting the harvest, from which we conclude there exists little grouud for com- pluint Further large arrivals of wheat had taken place, principally from the ea of Agoff. The céntinues sup plies and the cresation of the export demand had had a very depressing effect in prices. At Marseilles Marian- opgli wheat had been off-red at 43y 6d, and hard T'agen- rop wt 38s per quarter, free on board, without meeting attention At frieste, on the 4th of August, the stock wheat ooosisted of 36.000 quarters; and there were then about 27 000 quarter o f indian corn on hand.

The [News from Europe—Crisis in the Money Market—More Failures. ‘The Caledonia brings us five days later intel- ligence from all parts of Europe. We have given full reports of the markets and all other commercial and financial news. The merchants have received their letters, and the full extent of the failureson the other side and the effect in tiis market has been pretty well determined upon, So far as we have been able to judge, the effect here as yet has not been very disastrous. Our corn dealers stand it nobly, and we have so much confidence in their ability to bear heavy losses, without suspending payment, that we do not an- ticipate any very serious result. During the past two years our corn dealers have made a great deal of money, prices have been steadily advancing, and large fortunes have been real- ized. We have no doubt a portion of these for- tunes will be lost, but that many will become in- solvent, we have our doubts. The importgtions of specie into this country since the Ist of January have been about twenty- five millions of dollars, most of which was in payment for shipments of breadstuffs from the United States to Great Britain and Ireland. This, however, is but a portion ofthe amount we have in the aggregate received for flour and grain exported. Itis estimated that the value of breadstufis exported from this country, within the past year, amounts to about sixty millions of dollars, or about fifty millions over and above our usual shipments. The profits on these ship- ments have been immense, and we can afford to lose part of it. We give below a list of the failures in Europe, so far as we have been able to gather them.

It is difficult, at present, to tell what portion of this will fall on this side, or what the amount of the assets will be. Those who have been heavy losers will stave off insolvency as long as possible, should they be placed in that condition, and we may see the effect of this state of things some months hence. Prices of breadstuffs in this market remain exceedingly firm. Holders do not budge an £700,000 400.000 inch. The home consumption, within our own limits, is so large, that the stock does not accu- mulate, and there is every probability of a short supply upon the suspension of navigation. pssengers of this steamer arrived in town yes- terday afternoon, and has furnished us with the following particularsrelative to her trip. It will be recollected that we yesterday announced her arrival at Newport, R. I. The passengers of the New York arrived at Cherbourg on the 15th ult., in the bateau & vapeur Finistiere, which runs between Havre and Cher- bourg, and were landed inthe afternoon on the wharf of that city. When they arrived on board of the New York, their cabins were not ready forthem, being occupied by the carpenters, upho!- sterers, &c., and consequently, they were all in- vited to dine on board the Union, where Capt Hebert, with that politeness which made him so conspicuous in our harbor, gave them avery cordial reception. It was about twelve o’clock at night, when the passengers ultimately went on board the New York, which immediately left her dock, and put to sea under full press of steam. Atone o’clock she was in the channel. Nothing particular occur- red during the twelve first days of the passage. In that time she had very favorable weather. The only thing which happéned, was a de- lay or two, occasioned in repairing the en- gine. The stoppage of the steamer was about fifteen hours. On the 29th ult., (Sunday last,) about 8 o’clock the engineer made knowu to Capt. Ferraud, that the coal waa very low in the bunkers, and that he feared he had not enough to carry them to New York. The captain then ordered all the tar and pitch on board to be mingled with the coal in the furnaces, in or- der, if possible, to make the coal, (which had been furnished by a friend o f Messrs. He- roult and de Handel, and proved to be very bad,) of good quality, and to last to the end of the voyage ; this, however, was not sufficient, for the steamer, on Tuesday night, had but a few tons left, and was in the latitude of Newport. Cap- tain Ferraud, secing the impossibility of arriv- ing in New York, changed his course to New- port, where he arrived on Wednesday morning at half past eight o’clock. So far as we know, the New York has about 65 first class passengers, 57 in the second ca- bin, and a “full cargo of different kinds of mer- chandise. Among the passengers are M. Le Marquis de Raijecourt, the president of the Transatlantic Company, and M. Dagnean, who comes here to be the local agent of the French steam- ers. We have been told by the gentleman who furnishes us with these particulars, that all the passengers have been delighted with the ar- rangements, meals, urbanity and_politeness, which they found on board of the New York, and that Captain Ferraud is an extremely amia- ble man. 4 We know, however, that there will be some complaints made by the passengers of the second cabin, Who have not been furnished with all the delicucies for which they had been led to sup- pose they would have had by the mock agente, who meke it their business to collect passengers in Germany, Holland, &c. &c. This is very. rreeable, but the company cannot be responsible ‘or the {alse representations made by agents, who are not authorized to obtain passenger Neverthelesa, such a thing will not occur again, for the captains know too we'l the conseqnenc to themselves and to the company which they re present, to tolerate it hereafter. s The agent of the Royal French Mail ha re- mained on board of the New York, * sti to his ordere, which are not to leave the steamer hefore her arrival at her destination, here thiv morning, , Th bability is, the New York will arrive Seti ae i ee e probability is, Tne Eastern Mart Acarn.—Our readers are aware that Cave Johnson “in persor.” came to this city for the purpose of arranging the East- ern mail from this city, and stopping the thou- sand and one complaints that the newspapers and theepublic have been making in respect to its irregularities for along time past. He did arrange it, but how.? By throwing it into a greater state of confusion than ever. As soon as he made a new contract he took good care to make every person acquainted with the fuet. The Postmaster inthis city, published an advertisement that the mail boat would leave at 5 o'clock A.M., requesting editors to have their ja- pers in the post-office at a quarter before 5, or a8 much earlier as possible. So far so good; but it happened that the boat was too late two or three days to connect with the railroads, and the mails did not reach further than New Haven. In or- derto ensure her reaching in time, she after- wards started from here at half past four, and this, too, without any notice to that effect being published, the consequence of which was that ali the papers were left behind in New York. Now, if notice had been given, there would not have been so much to complain of ; but as it was not, there is every just ground for censure. Buteven starting at half-patt four, the steamboat was too late to connect with the cars leaving New Haven, and we now learn that she will hereafter start at four o’clock in the morning. This would perhaps be all very good if thepublic were made acquainted with it, but nosuch trouble was taken in the matter. Editors were publicly notified to have their papers in the post office at a quarter before five. They did so, but they were delayed; and now the boat leaves at four, without any notice. Comment is unnecessary, when we consider that Mr. Johnson personally made this new arrangement. Steamsuir Saran Sanps was announced to leave Liverpool for this port on the 28th of August. If she left according to the advertise- ment, she is now six days on,her passage. Her run to Liverpool, or rather to Kinsale, where she was passed on the 19th by the Caledonia, was excellent, when compared to the passages made by the sailing vessels which left a few weeks previous. ‘Tue Wasnincton was floated off yesterday afternoon, and towed to the Novelty Works, where she will receive her finish, She will be ready to receive freight on the fourteenth inst. The recent alterations on deck have improved her appearance, and will no doubt accelerate her speed. LaTER FROM THE Paciric.—We have received full files of the El Commercio, published at Lima, to the 10th of July, and also files of the Valpa- raiso Mercury, up toa late date. The press of matter which we publish to-day from other parts of the world, prevents us making extracts from them. They will appear in to-morrow’s publica- tion. Theatrical and Musical, Panx Tueatre.—The “Hunchback” was performed at the Park last evening, and with great credit to the company who filled the cast. Mrs. George Jones per- formed the part of Julia, and acquited herself well in it. Mr. Bass, as MasterWalter, made a» hit, and Mrs, Ab- bott and Mr, Dyott, the first in the character of Helen. and the latter in that of Sir Thomas Clifford were worthy of the trust confided tothem. The after piece was the comedy of “ Ways and Means.” This evening Shaks peare’s play of “Henry IV.” will be performed. Mr Burry will eustain the part of Henry IV..and Mr. Base will play Sir John Falstaff. The orchestra will add their sbaro of entertainment, givin, coring tee evening besides their usual performances, the Shakeperian over. ture by Bishop, and a celebrated waltz by Julien. The farce is to be“ A Kiss in the Dark.’ Mr. Forrest is an- nounced in Otheilo for Monday evening. Bowery Taeatae.—There will be a grand gala at the Bowery Theatre this evening, inasmuch asit is the last of the season, and is for Mrs, Shaw’s benefit. The per- formances embrace two excellent pieces, in both of which Mrs. Show will appear. The first is Shakepeare’s play of “As You Like it,’ in which Mrs. Shaw will act Rosalind ; and the other the “Stranger, or Misanthropy and Repentance,” Mrs. Haller, Mrs. Shaw. The reason for closing at this time isto enable the manager to re- model, renovate and decorate his establishment, s0 asto make it more attractive, if possible, than it ever was, In the meantime he will make arrangements for produ cing several new pieces in his own characteristic and splendid manner. We shall look with impatience, as we think the public will, for its re-opening. CuatHam Turatee.—The Union Pantomimists—the Holland and Carlo families, comprising many accom- Plished performers, will make thelr last appearance and receive & bonefit at the Chatham theatre this evening ‘The claims which these artists have on the public are, we believe, admitted by all who have seen them, and we are confident that the compliment that will be tendered to them this evening will be highly fiattering. ‘The per- formances will commence with & pantomime ballet, en- titled the “Maniac Lover;” after which the comedy of ‘Bambooaling” will be performed, and the whole will couclude with that admirable fairy spectacle, the “ Imp of Riches” Betweon the pieces the barrel exercises, dances, polkas, &c., kc., will be performed by the panto- mimists, Castue Ganpex.—Tho “ Norma”? of Bellini, sung by Tedesco, the celebrated cantatrice, Severi, Signore Rai- nieri, and Battallini, proved very effective last evening and the large audience which was present were delighted with the admirable melodies of the Havana’ company. ‘Tedesco surpassed herself in the famed trio of “ Casta Diva,” and was admirably seconded by Severi and Sig- nora’ Rainieri, in the gi io of the last act, Th three actors displaye great science each in their p We aco with pleasure in the bills that “Linda di C! mounix”? will be represented this cvening. We like Signora Caranti di Vite in the part which she sings in Donizetti's opera, Paumo’s Orrna Hovse—Tne Ravexs,—These talented artists attracted last evening another crowded audience, which retired delighted with the excellent entertain- ment which had been given to them. The comedy of “ My Neighbor's Wife,” the pantomimes of the “ Wood Cutters” and “Invisible Harlequin,” excited roars of iaughter and great applause to the Ravels. There is no performance this evening at Palmo’s theatre; but on Monday next, the fine French actora will produce a new plece, which has nover been played in New York Tue Pre Dex Erniorian Orena Trovre.—This band of black harmoniats are te entertain the Brooklyn peo- plo again to-night, as they did last night aud the night before. They are greatly encouraged by the success which has attended their efforts to please ; more 60, whon they remember what competition they have, with all the theatres open and other means of amusement at hand, They could not bave been disappointed if their claims to public patronage had ouly brought together small audiences; but the encouragement which has been extended towards them, has induced them to re- main in these parts for a season, They will siag and play in this city next wook. Their bill for to-night at the Brooklyn Institute, isa good one. Goand hear, Vinaisia Senewavens.—Tho Virginia Serenaders, at the Mine Rooms, will vary their bill this evening, and give in their own peculiar style a selection of new whieh no company ; burlesque opera of of course be repeated, and it is decidedly the richest burlesque that we ever Leard. Mr. Winter's Dioramas, now on exhibition at Brooklyn, are mecting with the attention they deserve. They will remain in that city # short time longer, and then be opened in other places. @Madame Bishop, at Boston, was in consequence of a Sudden indisposition, advised by her physician not to sing on Thursday evening.

One condition, however, has been well understood, as entitling these vessels to the right to enter and sail. They are obliged to go to and come from Montevideo, and to pay into the custom house there export and import duties on every thing taken from or intended for this market. Of course none but smal vessels ployed, and they come into the inner roads here to take cargo and discharge in view of the blockaders. ‘I'hus all usual trade has been cut off for the sole purpose of putting money in the pockets of the loan jobbers of Montevideo. ere is not even the pitiful excuse that this outrage on neutral rights is perpetrated to aid the mongrel government of Montevideo; no, it has sold to the loan jobbers the re- ceipta of the custom house for yoars to come, for a palt- be sum.

If not, have the Eng- lish and French governments been trying to what ex- tent they could rob their own and other merchants trading to Buenos Ayres, te put the money in the pockets ot those owning the custom house in Montevideo? Are the governments themselves interested in the specula- tions? If these questions are answered in the negative, will some sage political economist tell us what motives have influenced, or what genius has presided over the councils ofthose eminent diplomats, Messrs, Ousely aud Detaudis, or how their governments have no longer coun- tenanced their outrages ? Nearly two months rince, Lord Howden, English minis- ter plenipotentiary to Brayjl, and Count Walewski, French minister to no place in particular, arrived here clothed with full powers to adjust matters with Rosas. Ousely and Defaudis were recalled from Montevideo. The new ministers made all sorts of | Siew of liberal and just intentions; they were received with open arms, as the messengers of peace; the vessels of war. in which they came, were allowed to lay in the inner roads—offlcers and sailors caine ashore as they would in time of perfect peace; even the officers of the blockading ween tigve been and remained ashore as long us they pleased, and all have supplied themselves with fresh provisions. ‘There is one American vessel now in port. taking cargo for the United States. 1 am told some of the blockading officers, who were ashore enjoying themselves, talked of the impudence of the Yankee Captain in coming into a pieces port. Nothing, however, has been said to Yesterday, we were all thrown into consternation b: an announcement from Lord Howden, to the English merchants, that all intercourse with this government was at an end—that nothing could be done—that he and Count Walewski would embark in a few days. Ounces immediately rose from $310 paper, to $330, aud even some were sold as high as $400. ‘The question on which they split, is understood to be the rignt to navigate the rivers Uruguay and Panana. Rosas contends, and right- ly, that theve rivers and the right to navigate them be- long exclusively to the Governments bordering on them. The ministers want to secure some privileges for their subjects Yo day, an attempt is made through Mr. Harris, our To di chargé, at the request, ua | understand, of Lord How- den, again to renew negotiations to see if an armistice for five mouths cannot be agreed upon, to give the minis- ters time to communicate with their governments. this arrangement should be made, the blockade will be raised from this port. Lord Howden seems anxious, but itis very doubtful if Rosas and Walewski can agree on the terms of an armistice. Walewski is a young diploma- tist, and afraid to go beyond his instructions. Rosas is as firm and undaunted as though he were governor of the most powerful nation on earth. He knows he has right on his side in this question, and will not yield. 1 hoped to be able to tell you the result of this day’s negotiation, but the Caroline, by which 1 send this, is ours. about closing her mail. : , ko. A CITIZEN OF THE U. 8. Mr, Wright's Ines and Death. The following particulars respecting the death of Mr. Wright, are taken from a letter, dated August 27th, from John L. Russell, Esq., of Canton, to Mr. Flagg:— “ About 8 o'clock this morning, Mr. Wright came to the post office for his mail. He was in apparent good health and spirits, took his lotters—sat dowu—opened one trom Horace Moody—read it partly through—laid it down, with other letters, turned very pale, and sald to & friend present, ‘I feel quite ill.” ‘The friend sa} countenance shows that you are sick, shall I eal! tort? Mr. Wright declined having the phystel for,saying that be had hud two or three such turns betore, and soon got relief. fle complained of @ painful senre of uffocation «bout the heart, His friends present felt alarmed, and sent the third time for a physician before he came. Fullone hour he sat in the post oilice, con- versing with persons present, who felt intense anxiety about his health—he assuring them that he should soon be better. “The physician came to the post offloe, gave him a mild auodyne, and # friend asked him to permit him vo accompany him tothe house. Mr. Wright says, ‘yes, and | will thank you to go with me: Dr Clark you come too.? “He walked calmly as usual, to his house, the friend and doctor i. compuny—laid down upon n bed with his clothes on, saying tbat he thought the medicine did not relieve him, “The doctor gave orders for the application of drafts and other remedies, and left him. About ten o'clock, A.M., he died, as supposed, from a rush of blood to the head. “ Only last evening Mr, Wright was employed in writ- ing an address for the State Agricultural Society, to be delivered at Saratoga next month, ‘Chere are sixteen pages of manuscript—whether co. plete or not | cannot say. 1 would suggest, that it may not be inappropriate to mention this matter to the President of the society. Mra, Wright, I doubt not, will deliver the manuscript, if derired.* “The proximate cause of the sudden attack which has carried off our friend, is, too severe labor on his farm during the recent hot weather, He was, to my know- ledge, aware of a tendency to apoplexy.’ His diet had been very simple, und he supposed that labor in the open air was the best antidote against the plethoric tendency 0: his constitution, “Yesterday | attended a funeral with him, and walked with him to the gr Ho spoke of apoplexy in connec- tion with the death ofa friend, from that disease, in @ manner which induced me then to believe that he had a premonition of this dire calamity,” nay not be improper eaideat of the State to mention th | Justice Ketcham detained him for a further phn | . in i Agneultaral ht, dated pe Lith of Augustin which 1: is stated that the audress was then nearly compla@ed, aud informing Mr, Vail of his intention to be in Albany, with Mrs. Wright, on Saturday, the Lith of Sapyeniber, anid recaaia at ihe resvasues Of Bir, Figg: id aay. ing he would cali ow Mr. Vail in Troy, on Mouday following, and rerd to him the address, On the suggestion and at the re- ‘quedt of the Presideat of the Agneultural Society, Mr. FI addie: aletterto Mrs Wright, before Mr. Ra: came to hand, req that the address ight, for the purpose of being read at the Agriculcural Evening Journal, 2d inst.

Count or Srectat Sessions, Sept. 3—Before Recor- der Scott, and Alderman Deforest and Dod.—At the opening of the Court this morning, seven of the Chinese who came to this country in the celebrated junk Key- ing, were placed at the bar on a charge ot having as saulted Mz. Rerett, mate of the vessel in question. For the defence, seyeral witnesses were examined, through the nid of an interpreter, From the testimony cf the first witness, it appeared that the captain, while in Can- ton, signified that he wished anumbur of the Celestials to accompany him on a trading voyage to the Island of Java; that the accused and companions were induced te enter a contract with the captain of tne Keying, to ko with him, and were to receive as compensation $8 per month; and that in case they should wish to remain atthe island, they were to have the privilege of doing 80; on the contrary, if they were satisfied with their commander and the vessel, they were to re-embark for some other port, provided the voyage would not exceed a period of eight mouths from the time of leaving Can- tom. After being out some days, a Malay boat came near the junk to supply such provisions as might be wanted. ‘This circumstance satisfed the Celestials that they were near the Island of Java, ‘The vessel, however, never touched there; in consequence of which the Ce- Jeatials at once concluded that they had been deceived, and commenced feeling discontented. With the free use of rope they were punished into obedience, and on the arrival of the junk at the Island of St. Helena, a Mandarin was brought on board by the captain, and he told them that unless they proceeded quietly on the voyage, they would all be shot. ‘The conduct of the captain was very severe towards them; and one of the number, in hopes of making his escape tm ato m3) to raw | Long Island.
