ENGLISH Coax MARKET. Three weeks
ago we inserted in our paper, an article on
the subject of the Corn Laws, in which we
stated on what we know to be good author
ity, the deficiency of the late harvest, the
| inadequate stock of old grain on hand, and
the difficulty of our procuring supplies from
sources heretofore open to US. We then
predicted rise in the price of grain, and
strongly animadverted on the negligence OF
government, who appeared TO be insenslble
to the difficulties of the country. Our pre-
diction has been amply and alaHningly full
filed; since the date, to which we have
referred, the price of corn, throughout the
United Kingdom, has risen with rapldltv
which is perfectly appalling, for it confirms
our worst fears, as to the extent of the def
cheney of the crop. That deficiency is, We
believe, very much more than a fourth.
Whilst there was pretence for entertain
ing doubt on this subject, or even shad-
ow of reason for attributing the advance in
price to mere speculative demand, govern
ment might he excused for turning deaf
ear to the counsel which has been publicly
and privately offered to it; bnt now when
the danger is proved to demonstration, the
apathy becomes cowardly and criminal =
cowardly, as it evinces an inward fear of
the prejudices of the landholders, and Grim
inal, as it endangers the health, and the
lives of a great portion of the people.
France has prepared herself against the
evil, whilst England has not taken a single
public step, to possess herself of any of
those means of obtaining even the small
supplies which femme prices may still bring
to her shores. This conduct the ministry
NAV live to lament in unavailing sackcloth,
when the cry from furnishing people shall
go forth against them, at time when
! final crisis and foreign war may demand
! their undivided attention.
LONDON, Oct. 9.
/ We have received some details from the
seat ofwar which are of deep interest, though
| they are not in the shape of Bulletins. But
! they dwell upon the difficulties which Rus
! STA has to struggle with-dificulties which,
they apprehend, must increase as the cam
( paign draws to close. According to the
different articles which we have extracted
| from the Paris Papers of Monday and Tues
! day, the Grand Vizier has reinforced the
/ Turkish army at Choumla with 10000 men,
!! thus swelling the total of the Turkish force
to upwards of 100000 men. Another ac-
count states that Achmet Pacha has taken
up position at Eske-Stambou and that
the Grand Vizier is between Kastan and
Karnabat.
The Russians have already sent off their
sick and wounded, to large amount, to Je-
nj Bazaar, and this movement seems to be
preliminary to their retreat from Choumla.

ma falls, and the sending off the sick and
wounded to Jeni Bazaar, on the road to Var

will be removed to Varna if the Russians
shall make themselves masters oft. But it
is conlectured that the Grand Vizler would
still make some effort to relieve Though

Letters from Vienna, which appear emit.

the siege of Choumla has been raised, and
the Russians are in full retreat from before
that formidable position. They are further
described as experiencing considerable en-
