FoREGy HAavEsrS.-The harvest
is almost entirely gathered in through
out the east Of Europe; and we are
enabled to furnish the following com
parariye estimates, collected from the
most accurate accounts: In S!!aSia,
there has been Il good average har-
vest. In Poland. and Gel!icra, and
in the Duchy OF Posen, there has been
Il decidedly good harvest. and the
same may be said with respect 10
Russia. In Hungary. the crops have
been most satisfactory; and in the
Banal, which is regarded as the gra-
nary of the country, they have been
doubly rs productive as those of last
year. In PENNSYLVANIA and The Turk
ish provinces, the harvest has also
been most plentiful. Similar album
dance has also been experienced in
Moravia. Every where the grain is
of good quality, and yields from IS
to 90 per cent. more flour than in
humid years. 1t may therefore be
fairly predicted, that, in the east Of
Europe, the price of wheat will fall
instead of rise, even though foreign
demands should be very great.
The Britannia has arrived at Bos-

Government to lay heavy import du-
les upon British manufactures.
The effects of the concessions in
British tariff are beginning to
show themselves. Foreign produce
IS rapidly coming into competition
with that Of our home asriculturists.
