The steamer Caledonia arrived at Boston on
Monday morning, after q rough passage, with
dates to the 18th ult. She brings 9S passengers.
We are indebted to Adams & Co.'s Express for
a copy of Wilmer g. Smiths European Times,
received by the cars one hour in advance of the
mail, from which we make up the following sum
mary:
The price of Corn was rising rapidly, The
weather in England continued most wretched 70 r
the crops.
The Iron trade was brisk, and the demand ia r.
beyond the supply.
The price Of bread has advanced in Paris, and
indeed all over Europe.
The steamer Massachusetts sailed on the same
day with the Caledonia, with full freight The
people of that part of Russia situated near the
Black Sea, were at the last accounts, suffering
terribly for the want of provisions
Great activity continues to prevail in the Bri-
tish dock-yards.
The London Chronicle states that the military
forces in Canada is to be considerably increased.
The American provision trade fouIshes. The
stock of Beef, Pork and Cheese, is light; and the
state of things in Ireland will have tendency
not only TO improve prices but TO lessen compe-
tition. 1t seems singular anomaly in this
branch of trade, that the dealers are constantly
complaining of the smallness of their stock, and
of the difficulty which they have experienced in
executing the orders which pour in upon them.
Prospects of the Harrest--The very wet, un-
favorable weather experienced during the week,
has done much injury TO that portion ofthe crops
Still abroad in the northern counties, as to render
itnext to impossible for the grain TO be secured
in any other than the worst condition, however
auspicious the weather may be hereafter.
Ihe price Of Corn is rising rapidly; and on
this head we need do little more than refer to
the ample details in our market returns The
weather lately has been most wretched, and even
at the present moment large patches Of uncut
grain are exposed TO the pelting Of the elements
in the north of England and in Scotland, while,
as we have stated previously, the position Of mat
ters in Ireland is even worse. Damp corn en-
hances the value Of fine wheat; and those who
possess the latter, calculating on rise, evince
no desire to part with IT, The market is there
fore scantly supplied, and improvement in prices
is the result.
War Preparations in England. --The Euro
pean Times says: "'The dock-yards and the ma
w arsenals Of England exhibit extraordinary ac-
tyy at the present moment In many OF the
outports, steam frgates of the largest class have
been ordered by the government to be ready by
fixed period, according to the contracts, and
the builders have been bound in heavy penalties
to have them ready at the required time.
But the inquiry is, whence this warlike activi-
ty? Those who profess to see farther
into mlllstones than any of their neghbors, point
10 Oregon for a solution of the mystery. Presi-
dent Polk, say they, is determined 10 have the
disputed territory, irrespective Of consequences.
The comparative weakness of the wings in the
House, and the strong feeling which influence a
large portion of the citizens of the United States
upon thisqueson, are adduced as potent reasons
for the preparation for the onslaught, of which
the dockyards of Britain give indurable proof
The preparations TO which we allude, are pn-
questionably matters Of fact.p
Misunderstanding bctwcen Peel and yelling
ton--The Dublin Post says serious msunder-
standing between Sir Robert Peel and Lord Wei
lngton has taken place, and that they rendered
their designations 10 the Queen, which she refil-
sed to accept The article states in substance,

ting in Ireond-putling down the repeal move
ment by the strong arm, and that from this course
the Premier shrinks, Furthermore it is stated
that the Duke is for supporting Peel for repeal
ing the Corn Law.
Failure Of the Potato Crop.-The failure of
the potato crop in Ireland ii a most distressing
event. The accounts connected with this sub
ject, from all parts of the country, are painful in
the extreme. With the greater part Of the la
boring population, living at all times from hand
to mouth, it only requires the failure of an escu-
lent which enters SO largely into their food, TO
produce misery of the keenest, the 1nost heart
rending description. Ireland does moi suffer ex-
clusvely by this calamity this year; but else.
where, from the comparative comfort Of the low.
or orders, they can better endure and provide
against it.
Algiers.- The brave and unsubdued chief
Abd-el-Kader, asachieved another triumph over
bis French invaders. He surprised and captured
another 200 of them. The poor fellows, it is
true, were sick, and could make no resistance,
but coupling this with the previous defeat we
recorded in our last, it would appear that the
French arms in Africa are in a far way Of los
ing their laurels Ia these unfortunate encounters
with the children ofthe sun--thc sons ofthe de-
