LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
THIS DAY, Four o'Cluck.
The Marian, Captain Edwards, arrived at Liver-
pool, brings New 'York papers of the Bth inst., being
one day later than those by the Henry Clay. The
domestic news from the United States is not important.
The New York judiciary elections were believed to
have gone hollow for the democratic ticket, but the
returns had not all come in. There were no later
accounts from the city of Mexico or from Vera Cruz;
but letters had been received from Monterey to May
13, at which date General Taylor was said to be
making active preparations for a move on San Luis
about July 1, where another battle was expected to
take place. A duel occurred at China, on the 21st of
May, between two Virginian lieutenants. They
fought with muskets loaded with buck-shot, and both
parties were killed.
SI.NPPLT OF CONS IN AMERICA.—Tho receipts of pro-
duce, ens Vie Erie canal and Hudson river, have, since the
resumption of canal navigation been immense, exceeding
those for any former year, without regard to time. The
opening of the lakes and canals this year was ensually late,
notwithstanding which the supplies, up to the lot inst., were
nearly double those of the same date last year. The sur-
plus of the western country, of last year's crops, has hardly
commenced coining forward yet. The annexed table,shew-
ing the receipts at Buffalo and at Tide Water, gives us the
quantity received from this state

A large portion of the wheat received at Buffalo has, no
doubt, been manufactured into flour is this state. More
than 700,000 bushels of corn have been shipped to Tide Water
from the interior of this state. The small receipts acorn at
Buffalo show that the west has not commented mending for-
ward the immense quantity of that grain there must

ktiasissippl this year have goen nearly double those Of list, as
will be teen on reference to the receipts at !Yew Orleans. The
receipts at Cincinnati and St. Louis have been sheet double
those of last year, and there is every indication of the receipts
continuing throughout the season in the same ratio. The
growing crops are in a very promising condition. A greater
breadth of land has been cultivated this season than ever be-
fore known in the history of the country. As an evidence
of the movement in this vicinity we will give an instance.
On Long Island, without two miles of the Brooklyn ferry,
there is a lot of scarcely five acres, having a tine growth of
corn on it, which has heretofore been running to commons.
In Now Jersey, it is estimated that 100,000 acres of land
have been put into cultivation this season, over and above
tke quantity cultivated last year. The soma spirit that has
influenced the efforts of farmers in this vicinity has spread
all through the country, and with favourable weather we
shall have enormous crops. Breadstuff, will be low enough
in a few weeks to satisfy all classes of consumers. With the
tee option of those two important staples of food—potatoes
and buckwheat—the season for sowing and planting has
passed for the year ; so that, whatever aspect the crops in
Europe may assume, or whatever may be the fact as to the
supply there, no change can bo made in the staples of corn,
wheat, barley, or oats; but, in the articles of buckwheat
and potatoes, the crop may yet be increased to almost
any extent. The question and the opportunity are,
therefore, before the farmers of the whole country,
whether they will raise such quantities of these articles of
food which are of universal consumption in this country, as
will enable them to dispose of a corresponding additional
quantity of their wheat, corn, rye, &c., and receive therefore
• proportionate increase of money. The subject seems im-
portant, both to consumers and grower*, and is indeed, in
all probability, the question of plenty or scarcity of food,
both in Europe and this country, for the year succeeding the
next harvest, in Aurist and September.—New York Herald
PROSPECTS or ERR HARVEST.— Except the operations
of our army, the prospect of the next harvest is the most ex-
citing topic in the public mind. Every eye is anxiously
turned to the newspapers to note if frost, blight, worms, or
other destructive agents are at work among the crepe, and
with every fluctuation of the market the pulse of millions
beats quicker if the chance* for livelihood look cheaper and
more hopeful. With Europe, both Britain and the Continent,
exhausted of their surplus, and sure of but a middling
harvest this season, a portion of which will be eaten before
harvest-day -- and our own country drained unusually,
the whole temporal weal of the poorer classes, who must eat,
whether they get good wages or not, hangs suspended on '
the character of the harvest. We believe from all that we
con gather, and we have taken particular pains to inquire,
that the country never promised so abundantly. From one-
sixth to one fourth more ground than usual has been broken
uo, and fully that quantity more of seed put in the soil.
Winter wheat has been slightly hurt in sections of the west,
fruit has suffered some in Maryland, and cotton and tobacco
are partially injured in the south; but, take the segregate of
the country, and the fields fairly groan with their young
load. We shall produce, beyond supplying our own
wants, more than sufficient to feed Europe if her
harvest were half destroyed. But there is not such
prospect, Egypt and Russia, the shores of the Baltic
and Germany are luxuriant with grain, and promise
immense supplies, but while they serve to allay our appre-
hensions, they will not interfere with our market. For
many months to come our granaries will hold the current of
specie and exchanges in our favour, and animate the whole
trade and business of the country. But little faith should
be placed in the dearth and famine paragraphs going the
rounds. Speculators understand operating on the public
mind, and these stories look like their headings. For cur
part, we believe flour, grain, and provisions generally have
reached their culminating point, and will soon recede in
prices.—New York Mos.
