Harvet in EnglaHd.-Respecting the &C
counts which have been brought out by the
Great Western, the Philadelphia U. S. Ga
zette gives the following salutary caution:
We see that there is another outcrv in
England relative to a failure of the harvest.
We have read English papers long'enough to
learn to wait a little longer than st. Swith-
ems day, to know what would be the price of
grain In the London market. There may be
partial failure of the crop in Great Britain,
without creating an opening for American
gram and flour; and there may be much COM
plant OF rainy weather in July, and yet
toieraole harvest In the proper time. We
have, in this country, seen too much of these
false symptoms to allow of their deceiyino
us again.
