The steamship Great Western arrived at New
York on Tuesday morning just before the depar-
ture of the mall bringing advices from LIVERPOOL
to the llth instant. The commercial news is
highly important.
The Cotton Market is dropping
Grain markets steadily advancing. The
German States have commenced prohbi,iop the
exports of bread suffs.
The Wheat crop in England is now known to
be very far below an average. The Turnip crop
is threatened with dstemper like the potato
plague.
Wilmer s. Smith sum up long review as
follows: 1t is therefore, too certain that the to-
tai produce of the kingdom must be regarded as
short of usual years. and a steady and progressive
rise in the value of bread stuffs must be eXpected
The upward movement may, and probably will,
from time to time receive checks but on the
whole, wheat will, we think, advance in price
unit! next spring.
European affairs present threatening aspect.
England and France will have enough to do at
home without interfering in American affairs.
War with America for Oregon is now neither
possible nor probable. Englands millions look to
us for bread and cotton, and the Ministry are
most anxious to settle all points of dispute between
the two countries.
Famine with all its horrors appears to be star
ing at half of old Europe's population, and an all
pervading cry for civil and religions freedom rises
on every hand.
Extensive floods, causing much damage have
occurred in the north of England and Scotland
Much corn which remained in the field was
carried away, as also sheep and cattle. Some
lives were lost.
The fruits Of the French expedition to Moroc.
co last year may now be seen in the destination
of the French force at Djemra Ghezona, amouo,.
ing to $50 men.
