INFLUX OF SHIPPING INTO ENeLANp.-A great
number OF vessels have arrived in the Thames and
different London docks, within these two or three
DAYS, from China, the East and West Indies, The
different colonies, and indeed every part Of the ma
vigabe globe. Upwards OF $50 vessels reported at
the Custom House on Monday alone, and the long
room OF that establishment was literally besegcd
by the captains OF the different vessels tendering
the reports, or authentic accounts OF the cargoes,
according TO law, which requires the master of
every vessel to report his vessel and an account of
her cargowthn twenty-four hours after arrival The
present influx Is remarkable, as, although the
weather has been very boiserous of late the winds
have not been adverse to the arrival OF ships the
channel. This timely spur to business will be much
felt and estimated at the different dock establish
ments, as, from the extreme sackness and conse-
quent want OF employment for the numerous
poor and hard working laboring men at those
places, great deal OF poverty and want existed.
The recent pressure appears also to extend to Liver
pool, as IN two days nearly sixty reported, and the
day before very nearly an equal number of vessels
arrived from all parts OF the world at that great
| camille and commercial port
PACKET SHIP ENGLAND-A bottle was picked up
Sept. 10, near Douglas Head, containing a paper
with writing upon it in pencil, supposed to give
some information of the fate of the lost New York
packet ship England The following is the writ
ing:."Packet ship England, from Liverpool, Dec.
III, 1874 Lon. % I, lat. 45 TO-" On the other side,
''Lost quarter beats, 10 feet water in the hold No
vessel IN sight" 1t is difficult to conceive any one
so stupid, as TO commit such message to sci, for
the purpose OF communicating information of the
supposed danger IN which the ship was, of being
lost. II uot hoax, II communicates very little in
formation. Without date, and with manifest error
IN the longitude, affords, If authentic, but slight
indication OF the time or place in which the ship
with her disaster, or of the nature of that dsas
ter 1t Is natural to presume that if the paper had
been written for the honest purpose Of communicate
ing information, 1t would have been made to state
something of more ineligible and specific nature
PRosrEcT THE CRops.-The reports received
from the northern parts OF the kingdom speak in a
very despondlng tone OF the probable effects of the
| extremely wet and bolsterous weather experienced
| during the week that portion of the crops still
Outstanding That injury to extent difficult to be
remedled at this advanced period of the year has
been done, is greatly to be feared; and, uness we
have an immediate return OF dry weather, the con-
sequence may be serious Even If the northern har-
| vest had been got In well, the yield of Wheat could
scarcely have been expected to prove an average;
and, under existing circumstances, the deficiency in
quality, If not in quantity is ikery to be much great
er than was previously calculated on.
Notwithstanding the ineweather experienced three
consecutive weeks, there is still great quantity of
grain abroad south OF the river Humber; whilst fur
ther north much is yet uncut. OF the total produce
of the United Kingdom probably two-thirds may
have been saved; but it is needless to remark, that
the manner IN which the other third may be secured
must greatly influence the whole. Our previous es-
Inmates OF the probable result of the harvest, have
therefore, we fear, been too favorable; and we now
apprehend that, besides the already admitted def
cheney in Wheat and Potatoes, the crops OF Barley
and Oats, as well as those of Beans and Peas, may
prove inferior to what we were induced to hope.
As thrashlng is proceeded with, the complaints of
the yield OF wheat certainly increase nor do the
accounts of the quality improve. The loss IN
weight alone is serious consideration; suppose
the same to be lbs per bushe on the entire quan-
tity grown-which is moderate computation-and
taking the whole produce of wheat OF the United
Kingdom, In an average year. at 20 600 qrs, this
item alone would make difference of a million of
quarters.
These considerations have had some influence
with holders of wheat and the disposition to sell at
present prices has much diminished Those parties
who have still stocks of old, naturally conclude that
the superiority Of last years growth that of the
new will cause 1t to commando ready sale any Pc
rod; and though fair supplies of new have been
brought forward by the growers, they refuse to
sell except at enhanced rates. The increasing un-
favorable reports relative to the potato crop have al
SO had their weight; and the trade has assumed a
decidedly firm tone.
Whether any immediate advance of importance
will occur in the value Of Wheat will probably de-
pend, in great measure, on the weather; but, how
ever auspci0us the latter may become, we fe Il tol
erably sure that the price OF bread-sufs must later
In the year, rise materially.
Not only is the crop short in this country, but the
harvest has been defective over the greater part of
continental Europe. In Holland and Belgium the
tact is so well ascerained that the government of
the former country has deemed it prudent to reduce
the duties on Grain, to the minimum point; whilst
all restrictions on the import of Cornlinto Belgium
have been removed for given period.
Already numerous orders have been received
from Rotterdam, Antwerp, NC and the moderate
stocks OF bonded Corn are likely to be shortly re-
duced into very narrow compass, il not exhausted,
by shipments to countries from whence, in ordinary
years. we are in the habit of drawing some portion
OF our foreign supplies. In the Baltic ports, Great
l'egians and In the Black Sea, Wheat has lately
been bought up to supply Italy, where the crops are
stated to have yielded indifferenty.
IL seems, therefore, that, unless prices advance
materially IN this country are not likely to draw
any quantity of Wheat from abroad

IN ana II the weather is favorable there is little |

Union represent the season as having been favora-

which rarely occurs, of sending produce of that de-
scrpuon TO Europe, with the certainty of finding
ted that, instead of uncertain and unstable traffic,
the nature OF our corn laws prevents the demand
rom being regular and uniform. But such desi-
deraum is on the eve of accomplishments
