» gated on the same spot. birds, this feathered tribe wore poets to the harmo- nious sounds of music. The fete nega at half three in the afternoon. ran hard only ended at after midnight. Pavent como-the ball of the Minister of Finance, M. Bineau, which took place on Mondoy. evening Jast, and was also a magnificent soirée. he entire house of the Minister had been c into a green house, and never have [ vee more b. ne, ree o winter , all the gardeners of Paris and its neighborhood, had been to send their flowers, and to dispose them h elegance in the hotel of M. Bineau. This féte will be called, with much reason, tho ye des leurs, for it was the ne plus ultra of tho kind. 6 preparations for the ball of the 18th inst., at the Hotel del’ Ecole Militaire, are progressing with much haste, and I have been told by one of my rela- tions, a captain in the cavalry,who is at the same time ‘engineer, and onduty for the construction of the provi- sional, hall, that it will surpass any marvel of the kind. I will, in my next letter, eye you all tho particulars of that mammoth festival, as well as those of the review of the Champ de Mars, which takes place on the 10th. The fireworks which were to be burnt on the 10th will be fired off on the evening of the 13th inst. I am inclined to believe, from the particular reports I have received, that this pieco of the art of Feux artifices will be beyond any description. _ The society of St. Vincent de Paule, an associa- tion forthe relief of the poor, has obtained from the go- vernment the free use of the splendid Salle del’ Opera, aut Versailles, where a grand concert, theatrical ec formance, &c., will be given on tho 15th inst. More anon. Whilst all these balls and festivities are given and enjoyed here, the turf is still offering to the public its annual exhibition of tho races of the spring. There were on Sunday last five series of races at the Champ de Mars, which afforded groat pleasure to the numerous amateurs present on the round, EC Much fear is entertained hero among the sports- men in consequence of the presence on the turf of a certain American amateur, Mr. Bristed, who is daily boasting of a pair of trotting horses which h» bought, second-hand, last Mp and which are o the lowest breed, and not fit to be compared with © numerous fine animals which are daily seen at ‘our promenades and on the Boulevards. This fun- ny man has proposed to another gentleman, who pos- sesses the finest stable of horses in Paris, a match, to take placo next week, on which he has bet a large amount of money. I will let your readers know tho rosult. 4 The Crystal Palace, which is to be erected in Pa- ris, has, no doubt, given much tablature to all the kings and emperors of Europe. Iam told that the King of Denmark is to hate, also, a glass palace erected at Copenhagen, on the place where the riding school of Christianbourg now is. This building will cover a space of 4,800 square metres. At Turin, there is much talk entertained of the same plan to be carriod on before the end of the year. I am in- clined to believe that, ere long, a crystal palace will be built in every large city of the world. Two new planets have been recently discovered, ‘one by Mr. de Gasparis, at the observatory of Na- ples, and the other at Bille, by Mr. Lather. Theso new additions to the planetary system have croated inuch sensation among the savans. The potato disease has given anew furor to an American solanée, called the ovalis, which is now much in favor among the gourmands. This new vegetable will soon be as popular here as it is in South America. Messrs. Goupil & Co., the able publishers of prints and lithographs, of Paris, have just issued one of the most re! nel specimens of art ever exhibited anywhere, and I wish to mention it particularly to the painters and amateurs. It is the ‘‘ Nuptials of Cana,”’*by Paul Veronése, one of the most admira- ble paintings in the mfeum of the Lotivre, which has been re-produced with the utmost ability by M. Provost, one of the best engravers of Paris. This engraving will, perhaps, have success in the United States. The theatrical news is not of much importance, and the novelties are not worth much. Nevertheless, I will mention in a few words, that the success of the “‘ Juif Errant’’ is still immense, and that the theatre is nightly filled by an immense crowd of dilettanti, who bestow the most deafening plaudits on Tedesco and La Gina. At the Gymnase, a vaudeville, in one act, by MM. Dennery, Cormon, and_Grauzes, ‘ Mddle. Agathe,” performed by Landral, Blondel, and Mesdames Riquer, Macé, and Bodin, has been re- ceived with mach applause. : At the Theatre National (ancien cirque) a mili- tary drama, called ** La Prize de Caprée,” founded upon the wonderful taking of that island by General Lamarque, has been received with the utmost en- thusiasm. «The scencry is magnificent, and the plot admirable. The comedy, in five acts, of Alexander Dumas’ son, ‘‘ Da Dame aux Camelias” which is still per- formed at the Vaudeville Theatre, has produced the immense sum of 290,000 francs, without mentioning the money paid by every theatre of the departments where the play is also performed. B. H. R. The American Japanese Expedition. {From the London Sun, May 5.] According to Blackwood, there is already percep- tible throughout the electoral districts of the United Kingdom Rperhaps in more senses than one) ‘the hifm of preparation.” According to accounts re- ceived from the opposite shores of the Atlantic, there is evident almost the same activity in the United States. With ourselves, however, the object heldin view is sufficiently pacific, whereas that kept in sight by the American Congress is unquestionably warlike. Every one is by this time aware that the intention of the United States is to send an expedi- #ion forthwith against Japan, for the purpose of ex- dorting from its government some concessions at once social, political, and commercial; and while driven to this extremity, it is expected that the barbarians may be compelled to expiate in some measure the crimes they have long perpetrated with im Those orimes (it is srious) have outragéd all the most sacred principles of humanity during a period extending over the best portion of two centuries. From somewhere about the middle of the seventeenth emtury, the coasts of Japan have been closed inexorably against all foreigners whatsoover. Tempests might drive the unfortunate mariners from more ¢ ‘ed countries upon those pitiless regions, where man exercised 1 terrible cruelty than tho very elements, and sup- posing the vessels became involved in the hurricanes t those treacherous seas, they were almost irresisti- bly doomed to destruction. “No assistance was ever afforded them by the Japanese ; and whenever the ship failed to live through the foul weather, it was wrecked upon the shores of the island—the few survivors being scized as soon as they had crawled exhausted from the waves, thereupon thrown into dungeons, exhibited in iron cages, and ultimately subjected to the most barbarous execution. Year after year, inthe stutimy season, month by month, week by week, and sometimes day by day, these horrid atrocities have been perpetrated withoat hin- alerance upon these who were unhappily driven upon the gea-bound frontiors of Japan. The Dutch alone have been exempted from the tyrannical laws which have thus forbidden other nations to set foot upon the soil peopled by the Japanese, permitting merchants from Holland alone to trade with the inhabitants of Japan, and that only at stated periods, and at the port of Nangasaky. Subjected as the whalers from the United States have peculiarly been to the mise- ries resulting ffm these despotic and detestable re- gulations, the Congress has at lemgth decided upon indicating the majesty of the republic, upon in- sisting that the rights of nations, so long despised and violated, shall be at length recognized, upon avenging the crimes of two centuries by a sudden und overwhelming onslaught, and upon setting aside hy theso means, at once and forever, the prc ngainst any intercourse between the world and the Japanese. Several evening: described the nature of the plan by which the Amer gan government purposes to carry out this noble and nsidering its object) humane enterprise. The vessels of the expedition are already ant meanwhile, documents relating to many past nego- eiations with Japan—documents extending from the 28th of October, 1832, to the 10th of May, 1852— _ have beon laid upon the tables of Congress. * ” * * * * Such were the moderate terms in whieh the ruler of Japan was addressed by the President of the United Stat but all the moderation, all the reason, all the justice in the world, py i fectual when employed towards barba only argument to be used now, therefore, American government, is the argument of wnarine | artilier Precisely at such epochs the interest of the intel- ligent becomes enhanced in reference to particulars collected heretofore by the more adventuous among foreign travellers. As the very nature of the fi already enumerated sufliciently well indicate, hasbeen nearly as much an unpenctrated myst China was prior to the descent made upon ite coasts by the English. Vortunately, however, one work ai dehst, comprising » remarkable fund of informa- tioh relating to the island and its inhabitants, has heen submitted to the prblic by the editor of the en- thrall i iver in the Russian navy, the ine : ‘y, with several com- panions, invest his volumes with'a peculiarand irre- sistible fascinat From the pages of Captain Golownin a remarkable insight is obtained into the manuers and custems of the Japaneso; and in the new and revised edilion of his work, recently pub- lished by Mr. Colburn, there are given a variety of important details, showing tho value of épening up commercial trangactions with Japan; these particu- lars being condensed isto a preliminary chapter, serving very admirably the purpose ofan ‘‘introduc- tion.” A country like Japan, presenting to the prercantile world- almost ipoxhaustille stores » wool, » to not! sigan od agn Goalie surely cay loping its own resources, and with them the re- sources of other Lae the ex of other productions for such as yellow, sadiseds; taohaiain ob the semanas A 5 BOrges; rams and camblets; vets; musk, sold for reel ht in silver; Indian cloths, satins, damasks, Holland oloths, a thread of all colors, carpets for tables, painted with pictures and flowers; painted pictures, especially those mating battles by sea or land; quicksilver, vermilion, paint, and cosmetics; copper, ve Leper — in small are, lead rye aye in locks, iron, steel, tapestry, lea! ni twist, or soning gold; sugar “pipet ae es gauzes, raw silk, silk thread; glass of all kinds; salt; blank paper books; Spanish soap, amber; silk stockings, fine leather, glove leather; oandle wax, honey, pepper, spices, drugs, especially columbo root; colored wood for cabinet ware; elephants’ tusks, hartshorn pines: rock alum, &c.

The Case of Colonel Fremont in Eondon, {From the London Sun, May 6.} COURT OF EXCHEQUER—GIBBS AND ANOTHER YS. FREMONT. In this case’ Mr. Baron Aldergon rade an order for the inspection by the defendant of certain bills of exchange, letters, and protests in the possession of tho plaintiffs. Subsequently, Mr. Willes ob- tained a rule calling upon the defendant to show cause why so much of the order as rolated to tho letters and protests should not be struck out, on the round that they were not shown to be either in the esession or under the control of the plaintiffs. The ‘Attorney General now showed cause against the rule. Tho action was brought on four bills of exchange, which were drawn by the defendant. Colonel Frement, on the Secretary of the United States, in favor of a person named Hutman, who had made advances for the supplies required hy tho United States troops, who were then serving in Mexico, Colonel Fremont being commander of the Sroone and Governor of California. Colonel Fre- mont stated that he had no intention of making hee liable for the bills, and chat Hut- man well knew this when he received them. They were dated in 1847, and the plaintiffs beeame pos- sessed of them in June, 1850. About the latter Re riod Col. Fremont was ig this country, and just be- fore the day he had fixed for his departure, ho was arrested and detained one night in custody, but was liberated on firing security to the plaintiffs. The defendant had reason to believe that the plaintiffs did not give any value for the bills, and received them from Hutman with a full knowledge of the cir- cumstances under which they were drawn. Tho let- ters and protests were stated by the defendant to be in the possession of the plaintiffs, and the reason he asked for their produeod was, that he considered them necessary for his defence to the action. The other side did’ not deny tho existence of the docu- ments, nor that they were beyond thoir control. Mr. Willes contended that the rule ought to be made absolute. The plaintiffs had given full value for the bills to Hutman; but though application was made to the United States government, thoy were dishonored, and the money had never been receivod. The Court considered that tho affidavits on the part of Col. Fremont failed in showing any roason- able ground for believing that any documonts were in possession of the other side which might support the oase for the defence ; but they thought it would be better that the parties should go again hefore Mr. Baron Alderson, in order that the affidavits might be amended, and the matterbe put in a shape for a more solemn decision. Arrival of the Rajah of Coorg in England, The Rajah of Coorg, a principality of Hindostan, on the Western Ghauts, arrived on the 5th inst. at Southampton. He came over to England to have his daughter educated—a singular and interosting event in the history of the native princes of India. The Rajah ate@and drank with the passengers during the voyage. His daughter is an intelligent and in- teresting child. He was accompanied by M jor Drummond as his guide. His servants wore six in number. The Rajah and his daughter left Southamp- ton, with Major Drummond and his family, by aa early train, on the 6th, to take lodgings at Mivart’s Hotel, previous to his taking a private residence. The Rajah and the Mejor Tatimaed to Southampton in the afternoon, and the whole of his family and suite proceeded to London by the 7 P. M. train. The Rajah’s wives loft the Euxine steamer completely veiled, on Monday night, at 9 o’clock, and were con- veyed to Radley’s Hotel in a closed carriage. They were met at the door of the hotel by the Rajah and one of his principal attendants, who both held um- broHas over the heads of the ladies as they alighted. As soon as they left the carriage, they took the um- brellas_ themselves, and completely screened them- selves from view. During the process of their alight- ing from the carriage, however, a glimpse of one of them was obtained, and it was noticed that the lad; had a thin gauze veil over her face, and fine blac! eyes. Tho Rajah was exceedingly anxious that no one should observe the ladies, and appeared agitated until they were safely in their a ment. His agi- tation was so great when he had conducted them up stairs, that he could not open the door of the apartment, and imagining it was locked, he requested that the gas should be extinguished in the passage where they were standing, which was immediate! ly done. The Prince has given up his caste. He is a pensioner ofthe East India Company, and has been Replggd Benares on an allowance cf £12,000 a ear. Yesterday the Rajah’s six servants, who, by his desire, observed most: strietly the rules oftheir caste, had 8 Ibs. of food allowed them, which con- sisted of rice, onions, and greens, which they cooked and ate in the open air at the back of the hotel. They haye but one meal a day, and their drink is water. They are, in fact, Oriental vegetarians and teetotallers. ° At night they slept in the passages and under tables in the hotel. The sorvants are rigid Hindoos, and amongst their baggage was a large number of native cooking utensils and a quantity of eastern food. As soon as they arrived at the hotel they made preparations for cooking their meal. They wanted to cook by the side of a stream of wa- ter, but this they could not be accommodated with. They were very busy in the court yard of the hotel, in the evening about six o’clock, in culinary opera- tions. Previous to lighting their fires, they carefully washed their hands and feet, and then commenced laying out their stores of provisions, which consisted ofanumber of small bags of rice, by the side of which wasalemen. . After lighting their fires with wood and coal, they crouched down and kept them alive by blowing into them with their mouths, at the same time stirring vigorously their food, which was simmering in brass pans. State Ball of the Queen of England, : [From the London Times, May 6 | The Queen gave a state ball, last evening, at Buckingham Palace, which waz most numerously attended by the nobility and gentry, nearly 2,000 invitations having been’ issued; and ‘owing to Her Majesty's gracious permission, dispensing with the court inourning on this occasion, (¢ ladies of the household.) the ball presented the brilliant and magnificent character usual at the | state receptions of the sovereign. The grand hall wag decorated with beautiful flowers. This hall, cofposed of white marble, and supported by marble columns, has two recesses or aleoves at the foot of the grand staircase; these were filled with the choicest plants, grouped with | excellent taste, springing from a border of mosses and inignonette, the one group surmounted with a | beautiful specimen of the **acacia armata,” and the corresponding group with the “Azalin Indica alba” | The sculpture gallery, adjoining the grand hail, was filled with sofa-tables and settees for the ac- coumodation of the visiters, ‘ "he grand staircase was brilliantly illuminated. At the foot were two tripod bearing a wass of globes of light, interspersed with cut crystal, the upper portion of the staircase being hung with whole length portraits of various members of the royal | fanuly. The anteroom at the top of the staircase is | & most beautiful specimen of internal decoration; the arched ceil Kp is supported by columns of white marble, with gilded capitals, This room contains | Gibson's statues, in marble, of her Majesty and his | Royal Highness Prince Albert, in which color is sparingly, and with much de ey, introduced in | the ornaments and drapery. Th apartmont leads to the green drawifg room, the throne room, and | tho picture gallory; and on the other side of the ple- | ture gallery are the yellow drawing room, the salon, the ball room, and the supper room. The throne room was appropriated as a second ball room. ‘The orchestra was formed in the fleep aclove in which the throne is situate: it was but slighily raised above the floor, and the front was h H draperies of crimson velvet, embroiderod pt for the room, which has a massive arched r znificen 1 » being deeply panclled ia architectural compartments, profusely lehed with gilding. is supported by columns of Grimson. seagli- ola of the Corintian order, with gilt capitals.

Soon after ten o'clock, the n and Prinee Al- bert were conducted by the Lord Chamberlain from the yellow drawing-room, through the saloen, into the ball-room, Tho Queen. wore a dress of white tarlotan over White watered silk, trimmed with black and white flowers and diamonds. Hor Majesty's head dross was composed of a wreath of black and white flow- ers and diamonds. Her royal ‘highnoes the Duchess of Cambri wore a dress of black net over black glace silk, embroidesed with black bugles; the stomacher or- namented with poarls and diamonds. Her royal highness’s head dress was formed of a magnificent tiara of large pearls and diamonds, with black lace lappete. Wer Royal Highness the ‘Princess Mary, wore a dress of white net over white glace sill clegantl; trimmed with white bugles and white roses, wit ornaments of pearls and diamonds on the stomachor. Her Royal Highnegs’s head dress was composed of white roses, pearls, and diamonds. The assemblod visitors followed her Majesty and her august circle from the saloon and picture-galle- ry into tho ball-room. A quadrille was immediately formed, and the ee opened the ball with the Duke of Buccleuch, the vis-a-vis his royal Highness Prince Al- bert and her royal Highnoss the Pringess Mary.

The service was entirely of goldgplate, and some of the most beauti- ful specimens of artigtic skill in the precious metals were displayed on the long range of tableson which the repast was laid. Single flowers of great beauty, and groups of plants in full blossom, relieved, occa: sionally, the gorgeous magnificence of tho golden service, the whole being brilliantly lit with gold candelabra. > Emigration from Europe—The German and Irtsh Exodus, On the Ist inst., 4,000 Germans left Bremen for Anmerica, most of them for New York. Tho number of emigrants despatched from Liver- pool for the United States during the month of April. was 25,192—tho largest number that ever sailed in one month. The next greatest number was in the corresponding month of Inst year, when 24,000 and upwards left that port. The increase in April, as compared with March, was about 1,000. The greater proportion of the emigrants are Ger- man and Irish, chiefly agricultural laborors. Tho emigration for Australia, by means of government aid, isalso very considerable. Between the 7th and 26th oflast month, three vessels, with 926 emigrants, sailed from the depot at Birkenhead; and on the 12th and 18th inst. two large ships will sail thence for Australia with about 1,300 emigrants. The flight of emigrants from Ireland across the Atlantic still continues without tho slightest symp- tom of diminution. The number leaving the’ port of Cork, taking the Liverpool route, may be insome measure shown by the fact that one firm alone has chartered 25 ships to one part only, that of Boston, during the past four months, each ship containing, atan average, 400 passengers. These were from various.parts of the country, the number from this county alone being 1,084. “Three ships setting sail from Queenstown took 736 passengers to Boston, most of them of comfortable description of farm- ers. The amount of the exodus direct from the port of Limerick for Canada and the United States, from the 20th of March to the Ist of May inst., comes up tothe number of 2,895 persons. This is but the pe nninasy GEA spring season of 1352.

The analysis exhibits 11 ships forNew York, with 1,477 passengers; and 8 ships for Quebec, 1,418 passengers; total, 19 ships, and 2,895 passengers. The Dublin Telegraph, of the 5th instant thus notices the progress of tho flight of the population fromthe port of Dublin:—“The quays of Dublin are thronged with crowds of emigrants, So great is the efflux westwards from these kingdoms, that very few vessels can be afforded to Dublin for the exodus from Ireland. Our readers will be surprised to see how few vessels have been chartered here for the last quarter for the direct trade—indeed, not more than six; all being absorbed by the Liverpool line. In the shipping list for the port of Dublin we only find, within the last month, the following re- turns :—On the 15th of April, the George, of Kirk- aldy, for New York, with 150 passengers; on the 16th, the Kelsick Wood, of Liverpool, for Quobec, with 137 passengers. There are now only two emi- grant vessels—the Mersey, of Windsor, Nova Scotia (610 tons), and the Defence, of Liverpool (603 tons)—taking in passengers in the Dublin roads, although the steamers are embarking swarms of western wayfarers at every tide. Spain, ts from Madrid of the Ist inst. state that il of ministers met the day before at the royal residence of Aranjuez, under the presidency ofthe Queen. This extraordinary meeting of the cabinet gaye rise to many reports, but nothing positive had transpired respecting the result of its deliberations. Some said the Gazette would shortly publish modifications to the fundamental laws of the country, adopted on that day. This rumor, goa vas considered pr ure. % he ice quotes the following letter from Ceuta, of the 26th ult.:— Yesterday, at 2 o'clock P.M.. four of the conviets con- demned for their participation in the rebellion of Cuba esceped from the Presidio of our town, Among them is : ed Hungarian chief who was specially reeom- government. The three others are—a awyer, and another individual, influence at Cuba They were known to large sums of money from abroad. and although the governor was ordered to redoubled vigilance, they fed with four other persons. two of whom are Ameri- cans, protected by the commander of the Presidio. One of the latter acted as his secretary since his entrance into the Penitentiary.”? The government has ordered the suspension of the publication of the Havana newspaper, the Diario de Marina. Orders are said to have, been given to the Cuban authorities to cease supporting the Croinica, They the Spanish newspaper published at New Yorle. Both these papers have distinguished themselves by the ardor of their defenee of the Spanish colonial atininistration, and their advocacy of what they con- sider the interests of the Spanish ‘race. Their zeal, however, has been more than once a cause of em- Garrassment to the home government, who do not like to be made responsible for the violence of their defenders. If, however, the government acts with so little ceremony with aN a to colonial prints, it re the press of the mother countr n ys, most of the nowepapers will, it is bliged to retire, for thoy eannot find re- litors who can fulfill the conditions re- quired by the new law.

Her Majesty’s steamer Hydra, Mastor Comman- der Belgrave, which left Plymouth onthe 10th of February, and St. Paul de Loando on the 16th of March, arrived with Lioutenant General the Hon. G. Catheart, Lioutenant Colonel Seymour, (Secro- tary) and the Hon. B. Curzon, (aide-de-camp,) on the Sst of March. On the arrival of the Governor, an address ‘was proeniet to him, when his Exoolloncy expressed ‘is hope that the constitution would do for tho Cape colonists all that they expected from it. Tho framers of the address seem to havo rather inflated notions of the great benefits to be derived from the new measuro. His Excellency intended to proceod from, the ore in the Styx steamer for the seat of war fexth- with. Her Majesty's screw steamor Megara was 77 days making tho passage to the Cape, whichis ordinarily made by the ships belonging to the General Stoam ScrowShipping Company in less than half that time. She left Plymouth January 7, Madeira January 27, Sierra Leone February 7, and reached the Cape on the 24th of March. She is reported to havo taken fire three times on the passage. After leaving Sierra Loone all her fuel was expended, oxcepting a small quantity retained for taking her into port She had on board 650 rank and file, 18 women, and 29 children, Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade; those, we understand, were, placed on a reduced scale of pro- visions before arriving at their destinatian, The intelligence from the gout of war is, on the whole, satisfactory ; Sir Harry Smith had left King William’s Town, entered the Waterkloof, and seemed determined to follow the enemy to the Amatola mountains, where they were assembled under San- dilli. Subsequent to tho affair at the Waterkloof, another action had taken place there, when the Hen. H. Wrottesley, of the 48d, lost his life, and ten men of the 91st were wounded. The Caffres continue to avoid a general action, and they frequently leave their wives and families to the merey of their opponents. The cruelty of their couduct to their unfortunate English eaptives is ofa t horrible character, and the details given hy the Cafire women of the protracted tortures in- flicted, are in the highest degree painful. The affair in which Colonel Yarborough was wounded took place on the Sth of March at the Waterkloof. The Caflres fought vigorously, but were subsequently rey sed _ with considerable loss by Captain Carey and some Cape Mounted Rifles. The colonists, with one voice, deplore the removal of Sir Harry Smith, whose faults are forgotten in the still greater errors of Lord Grey, in praising Sir Harry’s every act, and then dismissing him to save his party. The West Indian Mall Steamer. An important acceleration of the West India mail service has just been provided for by the issue of new time tables, to go into effect on and after June 2d. ‘The mail steamers are to sail from Southampton on the 2d and 17th of each month, and will be due at the same port on the Ist and Ith. The Gulf of Mexico route is to be performed onze a month via Havana, instoad of by way of Jamaica, as at present. The principal feature in the alteration is an avoid- ance of delayat St. Thomas. The voyage to Hava- na from Southampton will occupy twenty days, to Vora Cruz twenty-five days and a quarter—the course of post with Vera Cruz being fifty-nine days. The route to Jamaica will be by a branch steamer twice a month from St. Thomas, touching at Porto Rico and Jacmel both ways—the course of post from England being forty-four days. The Honduras mail will be despatched from Jamaica, and the Barba- does, Demerara and ‘Trinidad routes will be per- formed twice a month by branch packets. The pidity of the American Steamers, by which cor vondence could anticipate the English mails, has een the immediate cause of these new arrange- ments. The Corn Trade of Euroy [From the London Mercantile Gazette, May 7.) The weather continued exceedingly cold up to last night, for the advanced season of the year, and vegetation is very backward. This morning we have ahigher temperature. The showers which fell last week proved beneficial to the country, but a more co- pious supply of rain is much needed. The growing crop of wheat does not at present show symptoms of having suffered from drougtit ; and though the spring- sown crops are not by any means promising in appearance, genial showers might yet remedy the mischief done by the drying cast winds so long ex- perienced. Grass lands are everywhere bare, and we ean scarcely reckon on a good hay harvest, how- ever favorable the weather may hereafter prove. The prospects for the future are, therefore, not alto- gether promising, but hitherto there has not been the slightest disposition to enter into speculative in- vestments in grain. The supplies of wheat have more than kept pace with the consumptive demand, and its value has tended downwards. Spring corn, though brought forward sparingly, has not excited sufficient attention to lead to any improvement of mo- ment in prices, and the trade altogether has remained inadull state. The long expected supply of flour from America has come to hand, about $5,000 barrels having arrived at Liverpool, and 50,000 barrels into London, within the space of a fortnight. This im- portation will not bea profitable one to the parties concerned, most of the flour having cost nearly as mueh on the other side of the Atlantic as it will realize here; freight and charges have, therefore, been lost. ‘The quantity now on paseage from the United States is not, we believe, largo, hut we may expect further shipments to be made from thence during the present month, in fulfilment of contracts entered into during the winter. — The lates from the Baltic are to the effect that holde wheat had in general resisted any decline of im- portance, and that comparatively little business hat consequently been done for export. ‘The scare food in the interior of is said great that people are ac some parts, the high pr 8, 8 to Which rye, potatoes, &e., had risen having put it out of the power of the necessaries of life We are nevertheless st f opinion t pplies of wheat to some extent will reach us later in the year from the North of Europe; for though there ean be no doubt that an extra consumption of the article has taken place on the continent, still there will be some quantity for export, which will ultimately be direet- ed to the English markets.

IfI shall not be intruding, I will offer you ® few scraps, crudely thrown together during a few momonts snatched from. business, Just for the purposo of seeing something in your columme dated from Detroit. There is no western city, probably, taking more rapid strides to prosperity and wealth, than Detroit. During the past few years she Bas beon waking from adream into which she swooned after the oxcite- ment of the ‘Wild Cat” times of 1847-48, andis now again in the full tide of successful operation. Ouc ulation is rapidly increasing, and we are the Rus of nearly the whole commerce of the State. We have a harbor unsurpassed by any in tho United States, and a rapidly growing commeres. Our re- sources are as desirable as could be asked, to make us eventually ono of the first inland cities ia the Western States. Oug location gives ws all the ad- vantage of the lake commorco, on_ the whole rai of northwestern lakes. Wo already have two roads, and will soon have two more. Michigan Central road, traversing the southern tion of the State to Lake Michigan, is ono of the best constructed, as well as the bost managed roade in the country, as its ample dividends show. The northern road, now built as far as Pontiac, is to be oxtended northeasterly, through a rich and fortile jortion of the State, to Grand River Valley; and the Southern Michigan and South Shore roads will be extended from Monroe to this city. Within a few years a road will bo built northeasterly to. the pine and lumber districts. At this groat foous o€ railroads will be the western terminus of the Grea Westorn road through Canada West, which is now being pushod with tho greatest despatch, and will be completed the entire length within eighteem months. This will afford us a winter outlet whiol we have not heretofore enjoyed. The Contral road will be extended to the city of Chicago within tem days from this date, when Cog oy Hi can go fren Buffalo or Dunkirk to Chicago in from twenty-cight to thirty ho The North Shoro and Dunkirk lines on Lake in connection with the Michigaa Central road, will, as usual, be composed of the very first class boats, unsurpassed in either speed, com- fort or elegance, by any boats on the wostera waters. The old favorito steamboat Mayflower, beached last fall, will be out in a fow days, as good as new, and able to lead any boat on the Lakes. The Michigaf, Southern and Northorn Indiana road is through to Chicago, with the excoption of some fourteen inilos wagon road between Laporte and Michigan City, Indiana. In connection with this road, there is to be a line of steamers on the lake, consisting of two new ones and the old “ Empire,” commanded by Capt. Van Allen, late of the Mayflower. This line, however, is not com- plete, and will not be until the new boats now building are finished. It is said that one of thou will be out ina few weeks, and they are expected by their builders to bo first class beats in evs respect. The strife heretofore existing betw these two roads will gradually dio away as the Southern finds out she cannot eat up the Coa- tral, and that the public will consult thoir own interests in these matters, and not that of any par- ticular line of travel, or railroad company, as the independent Yankee nation have a poculiarity of going where they choose, and studying their own im- torest above that of everybody olse. The success, therefore, of these two groat wosterm thoroughfares will depend very much upon their facilities and claim to public patronage. In tho sporting cireles there has been a little dash of excitement this week, in a couple of match races between Carter’s imported horse, Glencoe, and Hamilton's Telegraph. The sport came off on the 4th and 5th, over the Detroit course, which, ow- ing to the heavy weather, was not in first rate oon- dition—yet they made very good time. The first half mile stake was won by Glencoe in fifty-two seconds; the second Telegraph won of Glencoe im fifty-one seconds. The bets wore $400—just enough to make it interesting. The regular June races will commonce on the first day of June—the same duy that the great political taco will commenoe in Baltimore—and in each case will bring out some of the best blood, as well as the best speed, in the country. Tho races on our course will be for the purse of $1,500; bosides side bots of smaller purses to be run for tho twe cucoceding days. ‘The nags to be placed on the course at faltimore on the first, against the one te bo entered there on the sixteenth, will of course rum for a larger purse, as they run on the national course. We have un exeellent course here, and a well organ- ized jockey club, of gentlemen of the ‘first, fami- ies” in the State, who adopt the regular rules whiok govern the Centreville course, and haye all things go off in apple-pie order. Speaking of the national race about to come off—starting for the Presidential sweepstakes—the Wolverines intend to enter a nag, if they can, whe they hope will come out first best this time, though he got the worst of it with ofd “Buena Vista, old “Whitey.” His backers have Breet confidenceia his wind and bottom against any old fogy that could be entered, from the brood to which ke belongs.
