), The harrest.--Thc Beaver penn Ar
gus states that the cutting of grain has com.
menced in that vicinity, and that the crop
will be abundant, probably one-third more
than last year. There are moro acres to
cut, and more grain to the acre. The
meadows have produced admirably. The
Columbia County Penn. Register remarks
that the hay, in large quantities, has been
housed in good condition. The rye will be
above common average crop.
The Staunton (Va.) Spectator says,
1.-THE wheat harvest, generally, is just COM
'mencing.-The crop is better than the
most sanguine anticipated. The rye crop
is excellent, and oats most abundant. The
corn crop also is very promising.-Albams

The Ne,cs.-The accounts from Europe
which we published on Monday and Tues
day, and to day, is much better than was
expected. Some persons seemed to ex-
pect that the news of our Bank suspensions
would produce CONSERVATION abroad. A
circumstance, however, which had pro.
duced such instantaneous composure here,
might more reasonably have been expected
oproduce the same effect elsewhere. And
so it asturned out. The Englishmen took
it very coolly, and were rather pleased than
otherwise. The considerable amounts of
coin which had begun to arrive had con.
frmed their opinions, and on the whole
they appear TO have placed pretty fair es.
innate on the resources and character of
the Americans. Only one more house
whose affairs interested this country had
failed, and this disaster is counterbalanced
by the certainty that two houses, one in
England and the other in France, whose
standing is gilmore Importance to this coun.
try perhaps than that of any other two
houses in Europe, had made arrangements
which placed their stability beyond the reach
of danger. A different result was indeed
never anticipated with regard to these two
houses but it was expected that a good
many failures would take place of other
houses, though none in particular were fixed
upon. England is not Frustrated, nor likely
to be. True, her manufacturers are de-
pressed, yet they do not buy twenty or thir-
ty or forty thousand bales Of cotton week
and keep it on hand. They spin it and
weave it and, while they do this, large
business must be going on, though it may
be less than the business Of last year. The
English merchants are evidently confident
in the resources of their country and ours;
and look, as we do, for speedy return of
prosperity We are happy to believe that
these expectations will not be disappointed.
The abundance with which Providence is
clothing our fields will pay all our foreign
debts, and leave surplus for the supply of
current wants. On the whole the present
attitude of commercial prospects, both in
England and America, is much more
favorable than sanguine men anticipated a
month age.-Jomnal Of Commerce.

Wing CONFERENCE.-The Wings throughout

have raised little thunder storm against Gov
ernor Mason for recommending, and the State
Legislature for authorizing the Banks to suspend
specie payments for limited time, when every
sensible man ought to know that it was matter
of self defence on the part of Michigan. Now
just see what these self same consistent Wings
have done. They have held Wing State Con-
venton and nominated CHARLES C. TROW-

rector and heavy Stakeholder Of the Bank Of
Michigan, and a man whose interest is more
closely identified with the Banks probably than
any other in the state, as their candidate for

Virginid.-The wheat crop, now out OF
danger, will measure two or three bushels
for one expected month ago. The rye,
we are told, is more than an average.
Oats are abundant beyond example. Large
quantities of hay have been secured, and
the new mown fields are already putting
up luxuriant second crop. The pasture
lands are in fine condition, and cattle and
other live stock never looked better. The
corn, of which there is an uncommonly
large planting, is just as promising as
heart could wish; while buckwheat, pc.
I tatoes, and the whole family Of vegcta.
bles seem ready to pay their full tribute.
