The steamship Groat Western arrived al
New YORK. Tuesday morning just before the
departure of the mail, bringing advices from
Liverpool to the Ilh inst. The commercial
news is highly important
We are indebted 10 Mr.. Charles +. Chad
wick, the obliging and attentive messenger Of
Adams & Co.'S express line, for the early and
prompt delivery Of the European Times, from
which we make up the following summary.
The ship Pocahontas, from Baltimore, arriv-
ed at the Weser on the Sd inst; and the Isabel
! la, from ditto, at Havro on the 4,h. The ship
Palestine sailed from Liverpool for Baltimore
on the 4th instant, and the Clarissa, from Fal-
meuth, for do. on the 5th. The Grace Brown
had cleared at Liverpool for baltimore.
John Comstick Clinton, a merchant OF Liver
pool, has been arrested as fugitive from Justice
from the U. s., where he is charged with being
concerned IN the forgery by which Messrs Lit
tie x CO.. OF New York, were defrauded OF
IS 900 Mexican dollars in 1871.
The railway mania knows no abatement; it
appears, on the contrary, to increase. The
daily press are reaping a rich harvest by the
prodlgal outlay.
The dsunion between the Repeal party in
Ireland is spreading. Young and "Old''
Ireland are at logCerheads and the establish
ment Of paper under the latter title, which is
intended TO represent the O'Conncll section of
the Reporters, will make the breach wider
Mr.. O'Connell has been holding forth at
Kerry, in repeal speech, pregnant with the
usual topics.
Notwithstanding the peaceful eXhorta tons
OF Mr. O'Connell, the vgilancy OF the magis-
tracy, and the active eXertions of the constabu-
larry, Ireland Is still the seat Of crimes stained
with perjury and bloodshed. The accounts
winch daily reach us contain particulars of
tou! and daring deeds, the sangunary exploits
vi those neialious Characters which pest the
peace Of that unhappy land.
COMMERCIAL
The Quarters Revenue in the Customs
shows decrease Of a million sterling, and an
increase IN the Excise of about 100000. In
the Post-otfce there is also an increase, and
the stamps and taxes yield slight increase;
but the amount of the property tax has de-
creased and the Quarters Revenue, as COM
pared with the corresponding quarter last year,
shows a decrease of about $500, 900. This is
q sum- buI IL II dCCuullltu luT DJ the re-
duction of the duty on sugar, and the small
quantity Of foreign grain that paid duty this
quarter as compared with the same period last
year.
The Grain markets, both here and elsewhere,
II will be seen, are on the rise. The London
market Of yesterday advanced considerably
nearly %. per quarter, The remarks which we
have made on one or two occasions recently,
still apply TO the Corn market The present
harvest will yield indifferently, and this, COM
bneG with the failure ofthe crop on many parts
of the Continent, from which we have, in form
er years, drawn large portion of our supplies,
cannot fail to send the price of 'bread stufis,
up to higher figure than they have yet seen.
The general failure of the potato crop is, as we
have before stated, one of the primary elements
in this upward tendency of prices. 1t may be
Observed however, that, as regards England,
the disease in the potato, in many districts, has
nearly disappeared, leaving only small scab
behind, which will not materially iniure the
properties of that valuable esculent.
The Cotton market Is dull--more so than at
the sailing of the last steamer. There is less
business doing, and prices have a dropping ten
dency' The same causes are in operation to
keep the market down as we pointed at in our
last publication; nor is anything likely to revive
it but the chance Of short crop. The accounts
on this head from the other side are looked for
with much avidity; they will be analysed, it is
needless to say, with the most searching min
uteness; and as the cry Of "wolfn has been
lalsed on more than one occasion, the "wolf VI
must be actually at the door before his growl
will excite much attention. STILL holders, in
the present state Of the market, evince no great
disposition TO push their stocks forward, and to
this cause may be attributed the trihing de-
cline, as compared with the business, which
the staple has sustained.
The accounts from the manufacturing dis
tricts are, upou the whole, encouraging In
the Woollen districts of Yorkshire business is
brisk, and the same may be said of business in
Manchester and the neighborhood. The price
of Iron continues to advance, and on the ma
nufactured article the dealers in Staff0rdshire
have demanded, and obtained, an extra 20s
per ton, and Pigs los. per ton. The Produce
markets generally exhibit a firm and buoyant
feeling.
PRosPEcTs OF THE HARVEST. We had
comparatively fine weather in the neighbour
hood OF the metropolis up to the cd inst; since
then considerable quantity of rain has fallen,
and though there is little Corn abroad in the
south, the wet must be regarded as unfavora-
BILE, nasmuch as that portion of the Potato
crop which may have escaped the disease, re-
garding which so much has been said, is likely
TO receive further injury from wet. In the
northern and eastern parts of the kingdom
there is still good deal of Grain in the fields;
and, as the weather seems TO have been quite
as unsettled there as with us, the conclusion of
the harvest must be still further delayed. The
chances of the remainder of crops in the latter
districts being secured in even tolerable order
are, therefore, very slight In early seasons
the northern counties sometimes fare better
than the south; such was the case last year, and
the enormous produce of Wheat in Lincoln
shire and Cambridgeshre did much to swell the
general yield. This season the deficiency is
likely to be much greater in the backward than
in the carly counties: the Corn was not ripe
