The Queen adieu." A London paper says that the
total gain ofihe Western over The Queen in the en-
tire run across, WAS llS miles. One account says
that The Queen was beaten IL hours, and another 90
hours.
The Commercial Advertiser says, it is conceded by
all who were on board, many of whom have crossed
the Atlantic several times, that the trip of The Wes-
tern, just completed, was more boistcrous than any

considered rs a lair crop aud one merchant who
sent out his order by the Liverpool for the purchase
of flour. countermanded the order, and added ,l,a,
II any had been purchased, it should be sold, if ne

~ strong proof that the complexion OF affairs on the
23d of August was much better Than on the lst of
that month, and there can he no doubt but it is I'M.
proving.
=" One remark may be made on the gram news
from the Continent, There the harvest is coed.
excepting at the North and should il fail there, and
England need a small foreign supply, the demand
must be on The United States, which could be made
without gold from England. while it would be equal
TO gold rom our country.
The news is every way as good as any one could
expect. for the particular season.
