2 AFFAIRS IN EUROPE. 4 ur London ( orrespondence. Lospon, Sept. 25, 1857. App arance of Things in Europe en route—A Bird's, Eye View (f Affairs—Progress of the People, the Press ond Religion, &¢., &e. 1 te\t Berlin a few days ago and came to London by way of Amsterdam, the Hague and Rotterdam. a‘ Amsterdam I spent a day to see some good Duteb ‘rie whose acquaintance I made years ago, At the Hagt® I spent a night and saw Mr. Belmont, our late Minister, aud “r. Yurphy, our newly arrived oue. I have no doubt that Mr. Murphy will be ester med, if I may judge of him from the impressions which an interview of an hour produced upon my mind. In all senses the little kingdom of Holland is prosperous, and is in the main well governed, al- though the King is personally an inferior man. His ministers are able men, and the government is chiefly in their hands. The Qveen is a superior woman, altogether too good for such a man. But 80 it atten is. The Queen Dowager is a sister of the iate kmperor of Russia, and aunt, of course, of the resent eo She is a strong miuded woman, and altogether Kussian in spirit and character. She resides most of the time at her chateau, not far from the Hague. Tbe material progress of Holland, like that of all the countries whicn | have visited on this tour, is striking. Seversl railroads have been made since I was ast there, which was in 1851. 1left Berlin and came down by railway to Gronswick, Hanover, Oberhsusen, Arnbeim (a beautiful little city), and peat and Amstercam. It was au affair of twenty ours. In passing from Amsterdam to the Hague! re marked that the Harlem Sea has disappeared, having been converted into a “polder,”’ or reclaimed piece of land in the snape of a great basin. It is fast becom- ing populated; several villages, with two churches and one synagogne, have sprung up. It has cost a good deal of moncy to do all this, but Datch perse- verance can overcome almost any obstacle. They begin to talk about expelling the Zuyder Zee. ‘rom Rotterdam I came directly to London by steamboat. It was done in 22 hours. I never grow tired of coming to this great city by way of the Thames. Every foreigner who viaits this city ought once, at least, to approach it in that way. It will give bim some ides of the commerce of London, with .ts two millions and a half of people, to see the ship- ping in the river for miles, in the lower part of the city, and far below, as well asin the docka. We had a tine vie» of the Great Eastern, a little way below London, still on the stocks, but to be launched next pada towards the end of it—at least so it is said. I find our English friends deeply concerned about the state of affairs in India. I au not see how any true-hearted and evlightened smerican can do oth- erwise than sympathise with this uation, and sin- cerely wish them success in their efforts to recover possession of India. What a loss it would be w the best interests of humanity if the English dominion were to be overthrown in that country. Whatever that dominion may have been, and however acquired, it has, on the whole, been a great blessing to the inhabitants. Your remarks, Mr. Hexawo, on this subject, a short time ago, were eminently just, and have been read with much satisfaction here. They were quoted in the Times. The English will recon- quer India, and will, I doubt not, govern it far better than ever. The petty principalities must be annihi- lated, and the princely families, when worthy of it, be pensioned off, and made to reside iu some other part of the country. Railroads mus: be made in all directions, a greater number of Kuropean regiments, and fewer native, must be maintained. The strong ointsof the country must never more be garrisoned 7 Sevoys. Public schools, on Chri+tian principles, must be established everywhere. Equal laws must be enacted and enforced; and, while the conscienve of no one should be coerced, or his religious liberty abridged, the tomfoolery of caste should be discou- raged ard as fast as posmble broken down, so far as government patron: can effect it. Caste is not religion, even in Ind} Much speculation is indulged in bere in reference to the proposed meeting of the Emperors of Russia and France at Stuttgardt, and of the juent meeting of the Emperors of Russia and Aust Weimar. The Engiish, inasmuch as they are not to be represented at either, entertain some appre- hensions. They need not doit These movements are wholly pacific. The Emperor of Franee is a wonderful man; he is determined to gain the per- sonal respect of every monarch in Europe that is of any account. I should not be surprised if he should gee them all before two years passaway. He knows how to do the agreeable whenever and wherever he may think r to attempt it. All this will have effect in France; this he well understands RS too, that he ay — to promote a good understanding am ious and their rulers.. England has n to fear. Lonis Napoleon can do more than any other man living to reconcile Russia to England, and that he wil exert himeelf in this direction I have little doubt. He has more respect for Bngland, for the Queen and for the principal men around the throne than he bas for any other government in the world. To break with England. or to go to war with Eng- land, would be « fatal step for , and this he weil knows To-day I leave for Liverpool to embark to-morrow for the United States. It is less than three months since | left home. In that time I have traversed England, France, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, and even visited Russis. I have seen many of the best men in all those countries. In addition to this | met many excellent men from every part of the P: ‘tant world, with its ninety millions of people, at the conferences at Berlin. Some of the great eeey ap which are going on in the world may be stated in few words. In the first place, there is wonderful advance ina f view, as seen in the great number od steamboats. The former are being rapidly and extensively made in every civilized country; and the latter are now to be seen on nearly every navigable river in Kurope and America, and e00n this may be said of the whole world. It is also seen in the electric telegraph. In the second place there is great progress in the intellectual interests of mankind. The press is much more free than it was fifty years ago in almost all countries, ay. in ali where there is anything like constituti government. Education, espe a Be education, is making great advances in ost all civilized countries, or those which pre- tend to be sach. and lastly, the religions element is increasing. This is unquestionably true of all the countries which I have been visiting. The distribation of the eacred Scriptures, so widely and al within the last few years on the continent, is to produce truft, as seen in the enlightened convictions of many people, not less among the masses than among the higher classes. This is a great thing. There is no element so essential to human programs— whetber of individaals or of nations—to be compared with an eulightened, conscientious and ali mee | conviction of the importanoe of religion, united wi! @ clear conception of its true nature and its legiti- mate duties. We | langh at hypocrisy, for pre- tension without merit uw sting. But the man that ridicules and ss religion itself, as exhibited in the life ang many g of the Saviour, is an ow A to the best interesta of human societ, das su ought to be abborred. Many years’ o! ‘ion hae convinced me that in no countries are men aoe industrious as im those in which the Saboath properly observed. Men need one day in seven for bodily rest and for mental also; at least this is the care with those of much culture. The laboring beast needs rest. God is Ay Lo Dd good. Most of the journeymen in Paris and France geverally do not work more than five days in the | week, and one of them is generally the Sabbath. Many do not work more than four. Some of the Most expert workmen, as their employers have told me, donot work more than three. and though the dissipation of the French is the least ive of al! dissipation in the world, (for no people how get as much out o sou"as the French do,) these men almost invariably spend in folly, or what is little better, the enormous gains which superior skill enables them to make. it here I must stop for = time me. | must be en rowte for Liver- poo Our Dublin Correspondence Dusuim, Oct. 9, 1857, What is Ireland Doing? — Gossip from the Emerald Isle—The Trouble at Belfast The Elective Pranchise in Galway—The Price of Votee—The Mutiny in India and the Irish Misfortunes of | Tom Moore's Stotue, &¢., &c. We have no startling commotions to astound the world just now. We are become a rather steady, properly conducted, loys! people, though the Na tion, the Dundalk Democrat and the Kilkenny Journal—The Sepoy Press” is the soubriquet they have earned for themselves—have been urging our militia to imitate the Sepoys and liberate Ireland, | and some of the Ballingarry heroes, who escaped | from the police in the cabbage garden in ‘4%, have been covering the dead walls of Cashel with a call toss The answer of the militia is the “volun teer’ cry of the Roscommon, en masse, last parade day, © enter the lime and go to India; and the anawer to Whe call to arms is a proclamation by the magistrates offering a reward of £100 for the athe, Toi act these every day occurrences worthy the NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1857. notice of Americans—that might, at least, amuse them—would the Henatp but place them before them. There is, for instance, Belfast—of world-wide Tenown for commerce, manufactures, literature and piety—which has also Orangemen and Ribbenmen. Their chaplain, Dr. Drew, preached to the former on July the 12th, the day that commemorates On Joly the 12s, in Oldbridge town, "one Coe ‘om the ground Ry the oasuons ‘thas dic rate. And his text was, “Ye are the salt of the earth,” which, and its application, were very pleasing tothe men of Sandy Row. “But the latter, the denizens of the Pound, on the watch for an insult, beard some sounds as of fife and drum in the distance, and rush- ing to their doors, were horrified at the spectacle of aman ona car waving a bunch of orange lillie around his head as he galloped along. It turned out that he was one of themselves, and that he did it to kick up a row; and he succeeded. 80 that for nine mortal nights fighting, fring and house wrecking went on. When the military had gained the mastery over this, the Rev. Hugh Hanna, knowing that there are multitudes of outliers who don’t “come in’ to the churches, which are numerous fa and have room enough, instead of going and get his cleri- ca! brethren and town missionaries to go from house to house and trom street, to compel the outliers to “come in’ and fill the empty space in the charches, determined to address them without. Chey wouldn’t stand it, and so there was another set of nightrowdy- ing and wrecking, and the Lord Lieutenant in coun- cil bad te prociaim the town. And when, instead of giving up their arms and living in peace, the fight- ing wen carried them over the border, he had to amend the proclamation by including in it Ballyaa- teigh and Tullybubbert, and a dozen other Tullya and Ballys, with polyeyllabic and unpronounceable adjuncts. ‘Then we have a commission sitting in Galway, “the city of the tribes,” to investigate the state of matters as to the exercise of the elective franchise; for, it appears that as tne Belfast people had taken to the breaking of heads and windows, the freemea of Galway bad been in the habit of breaking mem- bers of Parliament by the sums they required for their votes; to make up for which they had noother resources, whether liberal or patriotic, or indepen- dent, than to sell their own votes to turn the minis- try for the time being. Ihe Commissioner, Mr. Leahy, Q. C., acted very wisely; he first ruled that no ove should suffer by any disclosures, and forth- with there was a rivalry in coofession aud discovery. The sum is that a canvass meant a bargaining for votes; sometimes the bargain was with the laudiord, and then it was a matter of calculation whether it was cheaper to give him, say £500, or to deal with the voters individually. At other times there was a market price varying according to the times or the jurse of the canoidate, or his calculation as to what e could make by his sale of situations, from £10 to £3 per vote. In making returns of the election expenses, this money was never taken into the account; for the candidate left bis friends to regulate all this. He knew nothing of the amount till it was all over; and then, to his cost, he often found himself mulcted in thousands, where be only counted upon teus Tte bribes were paid by tickets, given out by a person whose face was not seen, and carried for payment, after baving voted, to a hole in a wali, through which the money was handed hy another invisible. So sys- tematic and habitual had al! this become that honor- able ard respectable men - that is, in other respects and in otuer transactions—Dr. Browne, one of the Col- lege Professors; Mr. O'Flaherty, who had been hi. P., and Mr. Blake, a candidate, could see nothing wrong init. They have in Galway men enough as “ free- men”—that is belonging to some of the guilds, as shoemakers, carpenters and the like—to swamp the respectable householders, as we have in Dublin; but with this difference, that in Galway they must be actually of the craft, but in Dublin the right to be bribed goes to the sons and grandsons. Nor is it out of home affairs that we have contrived to elicit discord, the whole Irish press being in hot warfare, whetner in the Belfast riots, the jan Catholics are the “ causeless ag a or “innocent martyrs.’ We are all at sixes and sevens about India. Not oni papers named at the commencement of of ex- ulting in the atrocities perpet on the English in India—while these pspers distinguish between these atrocities and the s' le of the natives, wi Hindoos or Mabomt , to cast off a foreign yoke—which accusation and defence give tull employment to the There is variance between the Cardinal Legate of Engiand and the roe Legate ot Ireland—! Wiseman and Cullen on the one hand, and the government and Protestant cl snd public on the other—as to con- tributions for fe and wide spread distress in aan the Sepoy massacres have involved such mul- jes. The great body of the le, both in Britain and Ireland, think that the test’ thing is to re-conquer India, and relieve those who have escaped massacre with the loes of all—then talk of good government, christianizing and fair play for all classes and creeds in India. Dr. Wiseman appropriate the collec- tions made as the result of his pastoral, first to re- pair the losses of vestments and sacred utensils, and —- ma a ype oper new ontfits ; the surplus, if any, to relief of temporal suffering. Dr. Cullen, now in Rome, writes to his vicar, Dr. Yore, that collections had ic be suspended till it is ascertained that they will be distributed fairly, as there was partiality in the management of the Cri- mean patriotic fund ; and that soldiers should be shy of enlisting till there is better provision made for a supply of Roman Catholic chaplains. None of the Roman Catholic clergy attended the meeting to form an Indian relief fund ; and the outcry is the iter that more than £180,000 were contributed in india to the Irish famine relief fund. I believe the right-judging think that England was unrighteous in acq' and tyrannical in raling much of her Indian tories ; that for a long time she discouraged the propogation of her own reli- gion, and up to the present time the great mass of her officials dishonor it, leaving the natives to infer that they are an infidel and irreligions people. But to leave that country to be parcelled out again iato petty, rival states, Mohammedan or Hindoo, would be to give it over to lasting anarchy, barbarism and biood. It must be rescued. For this all should unite, and then contend for fair and honest govern- ment, free course for Christianity, the prompt ara efficient employment of the means of civilization— peace and happiness. There has been a series of mishaps in regard to the erection of the statue of Tom Moore. First, it was to have been ii rated with all the honors, curing the meeting the British Aasociation—in which so many of our fair countrywomen enrolled themeelves, shewing that they are capable of some- thing better than what Moore in his songs repre. sented them, that is, to be man’s pretty plaything while he is at his wine—but the pedestal was crooked—it must be altered. Then, another day —it was . was to be the day; bat the » in council, ordered all to go to church 2 for the suf- terers in India, and contribute to their relief; and so it is now fixed to be next Weduesday. Meanwhile, there stands Tom, covered over with sackcloth to kee fane eyes from him in marble, till Carlisie— the representative the whigs, Lis pa- trons— lands and ancovers him. Our Queen's University has just held its annual meeting for the examina for honors and prizes, and the conferring of degrees on the students of the three colleges—Belfast, Cork and Galway— gratify the lovers o! lectual and social progress to learn that these colleges are advancing in the numbers of students, their success at public competitive examinations, while the fact that so many of them are intended for pursuits for which a degree is unnecessary, causes fewer to graduata than would otherwise be the case. Our Berlin Correspondence. Berwin, Oct. 7, 1867, Great Military Féte at Potedam—The Cea Visit— Napoleon Going to Berlin—The Evang ean Alliance—Quarrels among the Ministers, &c. On Saturday last one of those military festivals took place to which the sovereigns of continental Enrope attach so much importance, as serving to keep up the eeprit de corps in the army, and to se- cure that blind devotion on the part of the soldiery on which the stability of their theories is mainly de pendent. The scions of the various imperial and royal families are soldiers almost from their cradles; those that have any capacity are entrusted with i portant commends, and even pacific princes, like the present King of Prassia, who have never drawn their swords except at reviews, seize every op- portunity of identifying themselves with the mili- tery portion of their subjects in contradistinction to the people in general, Fifty years ago,on the 34 of October, 1807, the King—their heredi- tary prince, and a boy twelve years of age— received his firet commission in the First regiment of Foot Guards, and the anniversary Of that event was solemnized with all the pomp and circumstance which it was considered te deserve. Early in the morning the colonel of the regiment and his officers waited upon the King at Potsdam with a volume elegantly bound and ornamented, con taining a manuscript history of the regiment, writ- ten by one of their number, and an album of draw. ngs representing the gost remarkedle scenes com- nected with it in which his Majesty had taken a share. The King received them with the utmost afl bility, expreasing the satisfaction it afforded him of so distinguished a corps. King plscing himself at the head of the regiment, and leading it past the Queen, while the band stuck up the identical march that was played at the entrance of the Prussian army nto Pans. A sum) banquet was then given at the palace fo all the officers and privates of the regiment, du: ing which a telegraphic message was received from ‘be Hmperor of Russia, congratulat- ing tbe King and his guests,and wishing them “many happy returns of the day.” The festivicies conchided with a performance at the Theatre Royal, to which the same parties were invited who had been present at the review and the dinner. The Czar and bis family arrived at Potadam on Sunday afternoon, and ‘were welcomed by their Prussian relatives with the usual demonstrations of regard and affection, This time their stay was of brief duration. After bay passed Yeo days with the royal circle, which had been increased by the arrival of the King of Saxony, the Prince of Saxe-Mininger, &c., they left again yesterday to re- turn to their dominions. If rumor is to be trusted, however, avother illustrious visiter may be expect- ed at no very distant date. Last week Prince Joachim Murat (who, if I am not mistaken, ia a native of Louisiana,) was here with @ letter from Emperor Napoleon, thank- ing the King for the attention shown him by despatch ing the Prince of Prussia to meet him at Carlsruke, and this letter is said to have been re- sponded to by an invitation to the French monarch to pay a visit to Berlin, the state of the King’s health having prevented him from making the ac- quaintance of bis excelieut and much esteemed ally at Stuttgardt. I am told, and it does not seem ua- \kely, considering that the King has always avoided sn interview with Louis Napoleon as much as he decently could, that he had received a hint—possi- bly from Russia—that such an invitation would be desirable; and if this be correct, ‘t cannot be doubted that the French Emperor will accept it. Some peo- ple are of opinion that the gs of Austria will be here at the same time to sea! the reconciliation between the great Powers of Europe so hap- pily commenced at Stuttgardt and Weimar. fhe German official papers, especially, are full of ania pasons of universal peace and concord, and to judge from their sanguine tone you would imagine that the reign of Saturn was about to be re- newed, and a second golden age inaugurated. Bat history teaches us that such expectations are iavari- ably doomed to be disappointed, and a momentary lal! is often the precursor of a more violent storm The very eagerness with which the official ee ap reiterate their vaticinations is calculated to excite ® suspicion that they finger a security which they do not reslly feel,and ¢hat the horizon is not so un- *louded as they would wish their readers to believe. ‘The oid landmaiks of European politics have com- pletely disappeared; the portentous apparition of Napoleon the Third has imparted to them a charac- ter of uncertainty and inscrutability which they did not formerly possess, and his present conjunction with the astute diplomacy of Russia cannot but heighten the alarm with which his dangerous and mysterious career is watched by ail thinking men. ‘after the particulars I gave you reiative to the conferences of the Evangelical Al.iance at Berlin, it may not be amiss to say a few words on the subject of ‘another religious meeting that has just come off at Stuttgardt. While the former was composed of delegates representing nearly all the multitudinous forms of Protestant Christianity, the latter was of a strictly “orthodox” or high church character, mem- bers of dissenting sects being carefully excluded. In spite, however, of this apparent homogeneity of com- sition, the Stuttgardt meet! seems to have n iy ma means remarkable fer i cheep = considerably more per was lay: yy the Fathers of the Chueh assembled ‘than there was exhibited boy members of the Alliance, widely as the latter r in their religious doctrines. In sects, as in nations, the more points of resemblance they present, the more they are alike in language, ideas, mavners and institutions,the more apt they are to quarrel about the shades of opinion that divide them. Messrs. Stahl and Hergstenberg, the heads of the German Puseyites, who refused te attend the sittings of the a he Alliance, played a prominent Ltd the Stuttgardt Kirchertag, and expressed their peculiar views with 80 little reserve ‘as to scandalize the majority of the audience, who exclaimed that such notions savored more of Rome than of Wee Geneva, and were quite out of lace at an astembly of Protestant divines. In fine, |. Stahl was interrupted in the midst of his address, his voice being drowned by the indignayt murmurs of his colleagues,and he was prepa to shake the dust from his fect and depart trom the hall with his little band of adhernts, when the chair- man, M. de Bethoven Hull interfered, and sus- ceeded in calming the troubled waters and re storing an outward semblance of harmony. It is evident from this in¢ermezzo that the tenets of which the two gentlemen above mentioned are the apostles, meet with a favor among the immense ma- jority of the German clergy, even among those who were thought most likely to be influenced by their specious lectics: and, if they do intend to make a pilgrimage to Rome, they will have to travel there with a very slender retinne. Sir Culling Kardly, the President of the English branch of the Evangelical Mission, who was taken sick shortly before the close of the conferences, and was for some time in rather a precarious state, is Low completely recovered. and left this city on Mon- day evening tor Dresden and Vienna, he is to deliver a petition to the Emperor in behalf of the Hungarien tants. Sir Culling was attended during bis illness by Dr. Schceniein, the King’s phy- sician in ordinary, who has the reputation bein; one of the most skilful practitioners on the Conti- nent. Probable Destruction of the Potato Crop tn Kurepe—Antictpated Demand for Breaastuffs. (From the London Mark Lano Express, Oct. 12 | yee | allowed a sufficient time to elapse after the conclusion of the harvest to be able to form an opinion as to the general results, we propose now to consider what oy be the course thatthe grain trade, and especially that in wheat, is likely to take in the season that has now commenced. iy cir- page cp dln oem ad fare yen ae to affect materially the supply, and consequently rice of corn in the United Kingdom, Itis there- ‘ore desirable to ascertain as far as possible the pre- sent condition of the country as regards the prospect of obtaining a sufficient quantity of bread-corn to meet the consumption. It is admitted on all hands that, taking the whole kingdom, the crop of wheat just harvested is a full average one, and probably rather more. The draw- backs occasioned by the violent and extensive storms in the north of Englond and Scot land, and also in some of the midland coun- ties, are considerable. But we look upon the loss sustained by these casnalties as more than made up by the extraordinarily large produce in other parts, especially those distiicts where high farming is iced. The accounts given from week to week in this journal, by our country corres pondents, from it counties, will enable our readers to judge how far we are correct in tuis opin ion—which, in the main, wiil be found consistent with the facts adduced in thoee reports. By the Board of Trade returns we find that, during the six rs from 1851 to 1856 inclusive, we have importe wheat, and flour as wheat, 28 622,573 quarters, or an average of 4,770,410 qnar- ters per year. With an average crop, therefore, we shall still want an imported of nearly five million quarters—eapecially when we take into ac- count the lose of the potato crop—which, we fear is too well established to admitof a doubt. The last three weeks, indeed, the disease has assumed a viru lence equal in destructiveness to that of the worst period of its prevalence; and this extends not only to every part of the United Kingdom, but to France, and a considerable part of the BE’ Continent. In France, the alarm created by it has led the government of that country to prohibit the export of grain until September, 1858, The extent, indeed, to which that root is cultivated there (from 24 to 5 million acres) renders the loss a serious national ca- lamity, as it forms the chief food of the peasantry— as was the case in Ireland previous to the famine. Notwithstanding, therefore, that the crop of wheat in France is above an average, the loas of the potato and a deficient crop of maize will prevent our re- ceiving that supply from theace which we had cal- culated on. In the Baltic provinces the harvest has been excellent both in quantity and quality. We have seen a sample of new Danzig wheat, for in- stance, which was said to weigh 66 lbs. per busbel—an unprecedented weight for that descrip- tion of imported grain. From Northern Russia we may expect a large supply in the spring when the frost breaks up, the wintgr setting in toosvon in that country to admitofany quantity being brought down the rivers inthe autumn. The importations from thence last year were larger than usual; but the reason tor this was that there was a three * accumula tion of grain at all the depota, in conseqaence of the war, none having been exported in 1866, and only abcut 21,000 qra. in 1854. It is not probable we shall obtain more than from 120,000 to 160,000 qra. from thence this season. From none of the German States did we im the usual quantity of wheat last year. ‘ak! den- mark and the Duchies, Prussia, the Hanse Towns, and other parts of Germany, the av of six years from 1951 to 1866, inclusive, was 1,202,060 qra. ad year: but last year the imports from those coun ries amounted altogether to only 647,244 qra., being Iittle more than half the average quantity, and_ less than ha'f those of the three previous years. If the faiinre of the potato crop extends to those countries it is probable we shall not have more than, if 40 much ae, « million qra. from thence in the seasonal year, namely, from the ist of Oct., 1857, to the 30th of Sept. 1568. : From France, Holiagd apd Belgium we sual iaport no native produce. Spain may send us a little, but her stocks were too much exhausted before the late harvest to admit of a large exoort trade. Egypt | will send us about 500, uarters, Turkey pro to bave commenced nis military career in the ranks | 1000 q) . "y proper A parade followed, the | 150,000 quarters, Wallachia and Moidavia about 150,000 quarters, and the Italian States, with Sicily, posibly as much more—their harvest having been fFrom Southern Russia we have received the last three years not more than one-third of the average quantity, in consequence of the quantity consumed and d syed during the Crimean campai Trade, however, is getting into its regular chant in toat country, and we sl probably import from all the Russian ports of the Black Sea 700,000 quarters. We next cometo the United States and British North America, to which quarter we must look for the largest sectional supply. We place these two cate because so large a propor of the wheat and flour ehipped at New York is the produce of Canada West, sent by way of the Erie canal and the Hudson, as renders it impossible to ascer- tain the real amcunt of States produce we re- ceive, Taking the same period of six years, the average imports of wheat and flour from the Ameri can continent amount to 1,845,611 quarters per year, that for the year 1856 being 2,304,293 qra.— ‘the largest quantity we ever received from thence. It appears from the reports from the States, that the wheat harvest, both there and in Canada, has been very abundant, and that a large breadth of new land has been broken up in the Wes'e-n States, and sown with wheat. Under ordinary circumstances, there- fore, we might expect as muoh wheat and floar trom the American continent as we received last year. But it appears they had completely exhausted their stocks of old wheat before the harvest: and such is the state of credit throughout the Union, in conse- quence of the monetary panic under which it is now suffering, that it is impossible to say what may be the eftect upon the grain trade, most of the mer- cbauts at Chicago and other shipping ports having been compelled to stop payment. If, therefore, we estimate the supply of wheat and flour from Canada and the States at 1,500,000 qrs., we think we shall | an abundant one. have fixed the maximum of imports from thence. The following is the summary ot imports, a3 es- imated in the foregoing statement:— Qrs. Northern Russia, say.......... seseeeee 136,000 Devmark ard the Duchies, Prussia, the Hanse Towns, and other parts of Ger- ; 1,000,000 50,000 ‘Turk 130'000 ‘url oper. . p Wallachia and Moldavia. . 150,000 Southern Russia... ..... 5 700,000 United States and Canada. 1,500,000 Other countries. 265, MEE Sawer suaedenatacion Mau axeneus 4,600,000 With respect to the probable range of prices dur- ing the ensuing season, we do not apprehend that we shall have a much lower renee than the present one. Taking into account the partial loss of the potato crop, the full employment of the manufac‘uring ope- ratives, and, above all, the continued influx of gold from California and Australia, the consumption of bread-corn will be larger than was ever known. It is probable that after wheat sowing a considerable quantity of wheat will be brought to market, but we apprehend that a demand fur good wheat will come from the north of England that will take off any surplus that may be brought forward Upon the whole, therefore, we feel convinced that the present average price of wheat will be maintained with little variation throughout the season, which will thus rove amply remunerative to the grower without ing oppressive to the consumer.
