 The condition of the public mind in England, growing out of the failure oi the crops Tay be in. lsrred from the annexed article, copied from the Li- verpool Times of the 4ih ull:
 FAMINE ExrEcTEDIS EEoLAKD.-Hnherto I, ih+ cycle 0i the seasons has brfr-ndrd Sir Robert Peel Four good harvesis in succession have filled his exc,equer-hllei the slonachs of the lieges- 'nade ihs nation prosperous the people Coniented Alar! the scene is "hamged--ihe evil day has upon him, and has found hun unprerar-d lace il. Famiue-gauni, horrible, destroying amine-seen,s impending Fears have seized ihe public mind. In Ireland matters look appalling-in England gloomy. The granaries of lhe continent a,e exhausted The fields of ihe Vistula the Danul and Inc Elbe are barely suficien, for the h'ca of the inha bitans. The Hation comInotion, and the cry of
 
 all sides, re,tI Iberaied from etes part of the pire. The pressure from withuui' has made itself heard in Downing street; and faith in the slidug scsie-Pees sliding scale-is gone forever. A third of the putnto crop in Ireland is destroyed. The government has sent scientific professors to the of the mischief, and ihe awful truth is out, this large portion of the peopies tood'hs escultnt ,ha, Cobbeit abhor ed-is unit fur use. What is to be done 10 this terrible, ihis unlocked for emergen cyl Open the ports' is the sxclamatlon; and there stands the shver,ng Premier, like reed m ihe wind, paraysed between affection for his sliding scale and the horrors of public famine. There he is balancing 'he pros and eoas But neressity is supe- ror to consistency, superior even to law. The ports must be opened. O'Connell, who assumes to be the tribune of the Irish people, goes b~y"ud this. He demands sian, of public money 10 the extent of million and half, To be expended in the purchase of iuOd-he calls Tor tax ot fifty per cent the abe sentees, and tax of ten per cent the residents he asks for ihe prohibition of corn and provisions lra'ing the isandand the prevention of distilleries consuming grain Large demands these, will they be roncededl A day two will solve ihe qses iop and in the meantime speculation will find wide margin for thr exercise of is ingenu y l.
 The sliding scale--.he cunning scheme to make food artihciay dear-is in the crisis oT it's lae.- Swept away now, as II will be, it's re imposition with the views which the public entertain, tand winch cunseruaive and even agricultural members ha,e tardy odopled) will De found impossible. It gone forever. In future years small fixed duty my be mpUsed-the sliding scale never Every thing pro claIms the speedy extinction of the slldins scae- the lone of iie goyel nment organs, the language oi the professed supporters of the mnisry, the feeling in the public mind. It has long been seen and fore told that the first season of scarcity would fix its doom. So i, has. Peel is good actor; hts 'shiver. ing is probably stimulated, mol real. Placed be- tween fires, exposed on his flank and his rear, il necessary that he should play his part not appear to give triumph to either party. This he has done--this he is doing.
 From Willmer < Smiths European Times, Nov. 1. . PhOvisIoEs The American Provision trade presents no very striking feature. or beef there is only lin tied quantity in the market. and holders appear anxious to dispose of ihe stock hand be- fore the arrival of the new Pork is dull. notwith. standing the small supply in the hands of the trade; thus result is mainly attributable to the unhappy state of matters in Ireland, where he farmers have been compelled to force their stocks 10 a sale.-- There has been some cheese brought to the hammer, al public sale. but only one half of the quantity of fered found purchasers, and that reduction of 3s per cwt The market is bare of lard, and the price is high, owing to the state of the butter market - The wool of the United States continues to find cus toners in Eog And and this branch of trade is in proving; indeed. there appears tO be bounds to the consumption of an article which never, until re- cently, formed an article of exportauon from Ame- rica. &Ft FLoUR AND GRAiN.--The corn market continues | to rise. and lhe averages 10 decrease ttle; but the sjump tn the scale by means indicates tlie actua price which good wheat reaises. The quantity of n- different or bad grain which s thrown upon the mal- kei kerps up the ayerages--ii such nsnoner can be applied to scheme which very unfairly repre- sents ihr acluaI price of the article.
