ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.
Sercn Days Later from Europe.

Ssren Days Later from Europe.
The steamer Great Western, Capt. Matthews
arrived at New York ON Tuesday, bringing En-
glish papers to the l,h utimo.
Cotton had slightly declined. The corn mar
ket continued firm, with a tendency upward.
| Liverpool, Oct. 1.-THE grain markets, boil
here and elsewhere. are on the rise. The Lon
don market of yesterday advanced considerably
nearly Is. per quarter. The remarks which We
have made on one or two occasions recently, still
| apply to the Corn market. The present harves
VIII yield indiiierently, and this, combined with
the failure OF the crop on many parts Of the Con.
tinent, from which we have, in former years
drawn large portion of our supplies, cannot fail
to send the price of "breadstufis" up to a higher
figure than they have yet seen.
| The general failure of the potato crop is, as
we have before stated, one of the primary ele-
menis, In this upward tendency of prices. II
may be observed, however, that as regards En-.
gland, the disease in the potato, in many districts,
has nearly disappeared, leaving only small scab
behind, which will not materially injure the pro-
perles of that valuable escuent.
The Cotton market is dul-more SO than at
the sailing of The last steamer. There is less
business doing, and prices have dropping ten
dency. The same causes are in operation to keep
the market down as we pointed at i'm our last pub
icatlon nor is any thing likely TO revive it but
the chance OF Il short crop. The accounts on this
| head from The other side are looked for with
much avidity.
| The accounts from the manufacturing districts
are, upon the whole, encouraging. In the Wool
len districts OF Yorkshire business is brisk, and
! the same may he said of business in Manchester
and the neighborhood. The price of iron contin-
ues to advance, and the produce markets gene
rally exhibit firm and buoyant feeling.
Il he interest OF the week IS news centres i'm the
accounts which have come recently TO hand from
AiSlers and Italy. That sturdy Arab, Abd-el
hader, who seems determined to struggle while
he can WELD sword for the independence of his
native land, has already proved sore scourge to
France. Nothing bu, the hand of death, it seems,
can suodue the lndomitable perseverance, of the
fiery, high-soued Arab.
The fruits of the French expedition to Morocco
last year may now be seen in the destruction of
The French force at Djemi.a- Ghozona, amounting
J 10 40 men. The commanding officer was in
weighed from his post on the frontiers of Morocco
and Gu! to pieces. Only fourteen escaped. Flush
ed with this triumph, the successful Abd-el Ka-
der rushed at high game attacked General Ca
ragnac, at the head of considerable force, and
although repulsed, succeeded in making the enc
my feel the weight of his prowess.
This disaster has produced much depression
and not little anger In France. The King, es-
Pecially, is annoyed at IL and the Government,
1t is said, are now resolved to hunt the Arab lea
der from the face of the earth.-l2, 900 men, or
SIX regiments OF troops, are TO be instantly des-
patched to Algers. Bugeaud is ordered to re-
JOIN the army, and preparations are making on
large scale tor carrying "the pride, pomp and
circumstance OF glorious war" into the heart of
the country.
italy, too, has been the scene of slight emeute,
not OF much importance in itself, SO much as it
indicates the unsettled state of society in that
fine but misgoverned land, and the certainty, at
no distant day, OF terrific outburst in the Roman
States.
Russia and Circassia.-Accounts from Constan-
unople 10 the 18th ult. mention a general belief
that second battle had been fought between the
Russians and Circassans, in which the former
were defeated

The crops of wheat rye, barley and peas i'm
Holstein, Denmark, and Pomerana are said to be
satisfactory, both as regards the quantity and
quality.
The potato crop in the neighborhood of Paris
is the finest and most abundant on record, parti-
cularly in the plains of ST. Denis, des Verus,
Nanterre and the valley of Montmorency.
One OF the first commercial houses of Utrecht,
1t Is said, is at the head of committee formed
Tor the purpose of buying up potatoes and other
alimentary substances in foreign lands, and re-
falling them to the poor of its country, with

Luggage vans OF an improved construction

llsh railways. They are divided into comparl-
ments, In the same way as the passenger car
rlages, and subdvded in the interior, so as to
separate the luggage intended for the various
stations. They are placed between The engine
