The news regarding the crops in England and
on the Continent is important; as 1t appears that
the harvest in England will be below an average,
and the potato crop has failed, not only very gen.
orally throughout Great Britain but in most of
the European States. A decree has been issued
in Holland and Belgium for the admission of some
kinds OF foreign produce at reduced rates of du-
ties. Attention was directed to the United States
for supply of foreign grain.
The Liverpool Cotton Market was in a healthy
and vigorous condition. The American Provis-
ion Market had been rather dull.
Railway Speculation, in England and France,
occupies the public mind to a great extent.
The Steamer Hibernia, arrived at Liverpool on
the 18th ult., at o'clock, A. M. The Great Brit
ain, which left New York on the Both of August,
did not arrive at Liverpool till the 18th ult., hav-
ing been sixteen and half days making her
homeward passage.
ATTEMPT TO ASSASlNATE THE KING
OF WURTEMBURG.
Two shots were fired at Meran, in the Tyrol
at the King of Wurtemburg, but fortunately with
out hitting him. The Jesuts are considered the
authors of this attack, in consequence of the King
having spoken, when in Switzerland, openly
against the influence of that society. His Ian
guage to Siegwart Muller, the head of the Jesuit
party at Lucerne, produceda great sensation.
DISEASED POTATOES. The accounts from
the country, as we'll as from the continent, speak
of disease by which the potatoes are generally
affected. In many of the poorest districts OF the
metropolis potatoes were sold for I'd. for Alb.
and Glib last Saturday. Externally the disease
indicates itself by moss, or fungus, producing
decomposition OF the farnaceous interior. In the
Isle of Wight, where the disease has occurred in
its most viruent form, it most prevalent in
those crops which had been planted on wheat
land which had been MANFRED with guano.

THE CIRcAssIAN WAR. According to re-
cent accounts OF the war in the Caucasus, pub
| lished in the German papers, the great advanta-
| ges said to have been gained by the Russians
have proved to be illusory. The positions which
! Prince Woronzoff has taken are OF no value, be-
ing wholly untenable in winter, aud what has
! been gained on one side is doubly lost on the
| other
Letters from Taganrog announce that Prince
| Woronzof had resolved to adopt new kind OF
wartare-that of burning the forests which serve
shelter to the Circassians, and for this purpose
upwards of fifty wagons, laden with turpentine,
resin, and other infammable matter, had lett Tag
anrog for Stavropol.
After five days hard fighting the Crcas slams
were obliged to abandon the fortress to the enc
my, having expended all their ammunition, not,
| however, without carrying off their artillery and
! baggage into the mountains.
The London Morning Chronicle of the nth
Sept, publishes letters from its Malta and Con-
stantinope correspondents, which state that the
Russians have met with severe losses. The in
telligence is via Odessa, August 22d, and it gives
an account of a severe battle between the Circas-
sian forces and the Russian Army, 80 900 strong,
under Gen. Woronzoff, who attacked the town OF
Dargo, the head quarters Of Schamil Rajah
The loss on the part of Russia is said to amount
in killed alone, to 5000 men, among whom are
three generals and forty other officers, and four
aids of the Commander. Gen. Woronzoff, finding
his army so much crippled, was destroying fortifi-
cations to retire to Titis to reorganize his force
Dargo was defended by Schamil's regular troops,
consisting of Dagastan infantry and the Russian
and Polish deserters from the Emperor's Service
QUEEN VICTORIA'S VISIT TO LOUIS
PHILIPPE.
Queen Victoria having accepted a pressing in
vitalion from the King Of the French to visit him
at Chateau 'Eu, proceeded from antwerp in the
Royal Steamer Victoria and Albert, TO the LITTLE
harbor of Treport, where she landed. The fol.
lowing account is given of her landing and re-
cepton at that place:
From the low state of the tide, when her Mai
esty approached the French shore, it was found
that the small steamer which had formerly car
ried the Queen from the royal yacht to the shore
could not now be employed. The only wav in
which Louis Philippe could get on board the row
al yacht was, by getting into bathing machine
by which he was carried so far out to sea. that he
was able to get on board of his own barge and
thence on board the royal yacht, and it so hap
pened that the Queen would be obliged TO re-
main for some hours on board, or take the same
rather undignihed manner of reaching the shore.
The Queen of England, however, thought she
might adopt the mode of getting on shore that
brought the King of the French on board and
thus it happened that Queen Victoria and King
Louis Philippe got on shore together in bathing
machine. The Queen was handed into the barge
OF the King, and followed by Prince Albert the
Prince OF Joinvie, Prince Augustus of SAKE Co.
burg, and M. Guizot In the same order the
party entered the bathing machine, which was
decorated with tri-colored flag for the nonce,
and speedily dragged by horse to terra fyma.
In the meantime a royal salute was fired from all
the steamers in the ofing and from the battery.
The whole party got into chdraboncS, the Queen
sitting next to Louis Philippe, and Prince Albert
next to the Queen of the French, and proceeded
to the Chateau d'Eu amidst the cordial if not very
