CRors IN ENGLAND. The following par
agraph, taken from the Liverpool Standard
Of March %, gives very favorable ac-
count Of the prospects for an abundant
harvest in England during the present
year:
We have converscd with gentleman who has
had much experience in agriculture, and who
frequently visits the corn counties, on the gener.
al condition Of the growing crop of grain, and
avail ourselves Of the gratifying information
with which he has favored us, the result Of a
careful inspection Of the fields in the principal
corn districts throughout the country. He as.
sureS us that the present appearance of the
wheat crop is the most promising that he remenl.
bCrs TO have ever witnessed at this season Of the
year both as regards strength OF plant and for,
wardness Of growth, and that the harvest is like.
Iy to be the earliest probably by three or four
weeks and the most productive with which we
have been favored in England since the year
1881. With the prospect low as the prices Of
wheat now are, the last average of the 18Th in.
slant being AIS cd pei quarter or IS lid per
Gushel, the probability lac is strongly of opinion
is, that prices must continue to decline, until IS
bushcl, at the most, as an average price, will
have to be submitted 10 before the end of the
year.
lie attributes the present fine appearance Of
the growing wheats to the Superior preparation OF
the soil during the propilious summer of last
year, as in 1926. We may add, that the land
was never perhaps in better condition as a seed,
bed for the Spring corn since the Spring of the
corresponding season, 1927, so that the opening
prospect for the yield Of oats and barley is equal,
ly promising.

| A FIGHT BETWEEN TWO GOVERNORS.
Various rumors have been in circulation
in this city-says the Baltimore Sun--of
an alteration having taken place, between
Gov. Thomas, of this State, and Governor
Mcdowell of Virginia. Gov. MEDIEVAL is
the fathcr-in-law Of Gov. Thomas. We
copy the following from the Richmond
Star
1--WE have the particulars from correspondent
Of Eight that occurred at Stanton on Tuesday
last between Gov Mcdowell and Gov. Thomas
Of Maryland. Gov. L. reached that place in
the valley stage about II o'clock, and Gov. Nc.
Dowell in the Charlottesville stage about an hour
afterwards. They put up at the same hotel and
met there, but did not speak-both designing 10
take the Lexington stage. When the stage came
up, Governor Mcdowell handed his lady in the
stage, and he was also in the act of entering
when he observed Thomas at his side, and de.
manded where he was going, to which he replied
Tin the stage" This he was assured he should
not do, and from words they proceeded TO blows,
Governor Mcdowell employing his umbrella
with marked effect upon his adversary. The by
slanders then interered and the battle was stop.
pod--Gov. I. declaring he had not received fair
play, By the persuasion Of friends Gov Med.
with his lady took private conveyance to Lex.
ington, Gov. I. continuing in the stage. 1t was
anticipated that another "scene" would occur at
Lexington, from which place news was anxously
expected. The affair has created great excite
mcnt and talk at Stanton"

Il think said friend to US tho other
day, lyon have sufficiently exposed the
trckcrs, rascality, and meanncss, of Rob,
inson, to drop him. The community arc
well aware what kind of a fellow he is, and
there is now no more need Of caution. In
the Glasgow business you set the brand of
falsehood upon his forhcad; in the paper
affair, he could but plead guilty, for the
facts were SO generally known to the pub
lie, that, reckless as he is, he dare not con.
tradicl them; and in the Bankrupt business
notwithstanding you made him condemn
himself by his own acts-you really were
too hard" II observe, too continued he,
that he docs not attempt to reply TO any
Of your charges, unless, indeed, he calls the
obscene paragraphs with which his columns
are filed, rcfutalions. think would

The advice of our friend, VIC imagine,
was given in earnest, is good, and we sup
pose might as well be followed. True,
we have deemed it our duty to warn the
public against man whose character was
SO well known as the editor Of the Demo
Graf, and for 50 doing, have had hcapcd
upon US such billingsgate as might be OK
pected from man devoid alike of polite
al or moral honesty. But for this we care
nol coming as it does from man who,
if justice had been "mctcd out to him." in
stead of doing the dirty work for Clique
of political jugglcrs, would be working in
a'capacity that might be of some benefit

over which he nominaIIy presdcs, we shall
feel bound to take some notice Of as il pre-

Of those who call themselves Democrats.

ing his prospects forever. lie must have seen
how completely his offcious friends at Washing.
on were defeated in their attacks on the Treaty;
and he must knoio, as every one conversant with
public opinion knows, that four. ffths Of the De.
mocracy are opposed, uncompromisingly op.
posed, to the assembling Of the National Con.
vention at an earlier day than May, 1874.
Hence failure to have the Convention held in
November next, (and it will fail as sure as No.
vember conIes) will naturally lead to defeat in
Convention, when it assemblies in May. Thus
he may have three battles to fght--one for the
Convention in November next, one for the nomi.
nation and one for the election. If he succeeds,
we shall set him down as magician in earnest!
Tammany Hall has rebelled openly. The
Locofoco Young Mems General Committee have
passed resolutions disappearing OF the action OF
their representatives in the Regency Caucus, and
poremptorily denying their right to pledge the
support of the party in the State to any particular
candidate. The rank and file Of the party claim
to be heard and consulted on the subject. We
are, say their resolutions, prepared to submit to
a National Convention, but reprobate all efforts
to prevent justice there being done to all.

OREGoN.-The following remarks by
Sir Robert Peel in the House of Commons
give assurance of the earnest desire of the
British Government to SETTLE by friendly
negotiations, the unadjusted difficulties be-
tween the United States and Great Britain
relative 10 the Oregon Territory. The fact
that negotiations on the subject have been
proposed by the British Ministry has not
been heretofore announced, so far as we
know:
The question Of the Oregon Territory, no
doubt. not adjusted. With respect to the course
which the American Government have taken, the
noble lord makes no allowance for the position Of
government SO open to popular influence as
that Of America. We deal with the executive
government and not with the Senate. We have
proposed to that government to consider the
means Of ellecting conciliatory adjustment res.
pecting the Oregon Territory, and we have met
with no repulse, but have received assurances in
reply to our proposition, that the Executive Gov.
eminent OF the United States was anxious to come
to an adjustment Of that question:: and we have
every reason to hope, that unless we revive the
former animosty, and embtter the feelings be-.
tween the two countries, there will be an attempt
by negotiation TO settle that question satisfactorily
The noble lord says that the senate have passed
a bill, which believe they have not passed.
(Some honorable member said ''yes'') | think
the votes were equally divided; but whatever the
Senate may do, it is impossible for the executive
government TO approve such bill after having
expressed desire TO negotiate.
