The PRcR OF PRopuCE our
Selves we can see no reason why the price
Of the wheat oi the late harvest should be
worth less than one dollar per bushel, deli,
vered at any Of the ports of Lake Erie. The
reason for this supposition resides in the
belief that the crop Of the present year,
especially in the West, will prove on exam
nation, not so great as has been, by some
imagined. In Michigan, for instance, it was
supposed, last fall, that less wheat was
sown that season, than the season before,
and the amount Of spring wheat put in was
not so great as to effect the estimate to any
considerable degree. In Ohio, the differ
ence between the last years sowing and
that of the year before could not have been
very great, and in New York, it was most
probably less the last season. Taking it
all in aly we cannot believe thai the number
of acres sown for the late crop was so much
greater than that for the crop before usto fur
nish reason in itself for material change
in the price. Nor, do we believe, on a
strict examination of the quality and amount
of the yield, it will be found that there ex-
lists reason for the great depression that
is anticipated. The crops in several of the
finest wheat growing sections in New
York have been much injured, both in guam
tity and quality, by the rust. and this too,
SO near the time of harvest, that the prom
ise of an abundant crop was very great, and
its heralding had been proportiopably loud
in all the papers in the country. And we
believe, Judging from the best means of in
formation within our reach, that nearly all
the wheat north of the fortieth parallel of
latitude will be found more or less injured,
and in many large districts almost totally
destroyed, as is the ca Sc in several counties
of Ohio Michigan and New York, and in
almost the whole of Upper and Lower Can
ada. The injury done to wheat in so large
a section Of country, combined with the
probable short crops in England, and the
failure of the Indian CON, and in fact al
most all The fall crops through gieat ex-
tent ofcountry South and West of us will
all have their effect upon the price OF wheat
and when it is recoected that the Canada
market is to be supplied from the Lake
Country, we cannot but think that there Is
sufficient ground for the belief that farmers
should not be expected to take less than
one dollar per bushel for their heat.

Mr.. CLAY experienced at Baltimore, as
every where else on his journey, most cor
dial reception. He rode into town, with the
Mayor, in carriage said to be made of the
wood ofthe British frigate Scraps, captu-
red by Paul Jones during, the revolutiona-
ry war.
In speech which he made to the vast
concourse assembled to greet him, he said,
if the withdrawal Of his name would ensure
the harmony and success of the opposition,
he would retire at once and forever to the
private station which long career of pub
lie service, had taught him, was the only re-
tuge for tranquil and enduring happness.--

DISTRESS IN IRELAND. lie late Eng
lish papers furnish further details Of dis
tress and starvation in various parts Of
Ireland. A letter from clergyman was
read in the House of Commons, which sta
ted that the misery of the people of New
port, in the county of Mayo, was frightIul
to think of. Mr.. O'Connel said that ow-
ing to to the failure of the second potatoe
crop; the people were on the verge of star
walton. lie spoke with knowledge Of the
state Of things in Kerry in which the gen,
try had made every sacrifice and done all
they could to alleviate the sufferlngs ofthelr
poor neighbors. The caseis of so pressing
nature that it was absolutely necessary that
something should be done in the way ofre-
lief, without the least delay.
Mr.. SERGEANT Jackson said that he had
received four letters on this subject from
Blndon and its neighborhood; and to men
tion one fact only, it appeared that, of
population of 1000 persons, there were 3,-
600 in state bordering on starvation, and
1000 utterly destitute. A very small
amount of relief from the Government,
promptly administered, would save great
numbers of the population from perlshing.

A correspondent of the New York Amer
lean, travelling westward writes from Utica
as follows. The notice Of Mr.. Spencer is
as just as it is graphic.
"Fltty years ago, the spot where Utica
now stands was the end of the world, in
this direction. In those days, John Jacob
Astor, and Peter Smith Gather of Gerrit,)
travelled the ground from Schenectady to
Utica on foot, purchasing furs at the Indian
settlements on the route. The Indians
aided them in carrying the furs back to
Schenectady. Returned from their peril
GUS adventure to "the Far West" they
opened little shop in New York city, and
sold the skins at retail. When their stock
was exhausted, they again penetrated the
lonely forest of "lhe frontier," and replen-
ished their store. Astor continued his bn-
sness many years; but Smith commenced
the purchase of land. Summers went and
came, and wave after wave Of emigration
rolled up the long defile of the Mohawk.
Mark the change. Two years since, Smith
died at Schenectady, leaving millions of
acres to his heirs. Astor still lives, one OF
The wcaIthiest untitled commoners in the
world. Judge Smith lived to travel the
route from Schenectady to Utica, in four
hours. And to-day, when the suns even
ing rays shall hide from the undimmcd eye
of John Jacob Astor behind the blue hills of
Jersey, ITS vertial beams will be falling on
the fur traders of our now Ultima Thule,
the mouth of the Oregon! Bishop Berke-
ley dreamed of such changes when he
penned the line.

The Toledo Blade of the 18th ultimo,
shed great deal of ink and brought into
requisition an immense amount of research,
to prove that the County Commissioners
have right under the statute, to remove

to plan and project the public buildings "and
to purchase for the use of the county such
ground as they may deem necessary where
on to erect all or any part of the buildings
aforesaid, the eapense Of achich shallbe paid
outo the county treasury" and the people
of Toledo have reSolued in public meeting,
Thatin voting for a county commissioner,
we [they] will vote for no man who is not in
favor of the location of the county seat
within the city of Toledo" As much as to
say, "we want the county buildings placed
to suit our convenience, and we want the
people of the county taxed to pay for it, and
we want them to vote for our commissioner,
for he knows best how our interests can be
subserved." People Of Lucas county! Now
won't you vote for commissioner with ve-
ry benevolent intentions towards Toledo?
Can you be so hard hearted as to vote for
review, when the people of Toledo are so
willing to take the county seat, provided
you will build the buildings and buy some
Toledo town property to put them ona
