THE WHEAT CROP.

In Western New York il is said ,ha, The wheat
mover looked better than il does now. If il es.
capes the rust, and irs forwardness argues against
this contingency, there will be as large surplus
as was ever raised in the State.
In Georgia, much larger quantity was sown
last Fall than usual, and The product is a undant.
The quantity produced is nearly double any for
mer crop raised in Georgia.
10 South Carolina, the wheat cropis also good,
and is probably pretty much harvested. Rye
and oats were also very promising in The upper
districts.
Our accounts from different portions OF Virgi-
MIA lead US 10 the conclusion that, on account OF
the fy, foundations, F&c., The wheat crop of the
State will be short The! harvest has begun in
this vicinity, and the crops are pretty good. The
Editor of the New York Express who has just
returned from the lower James River region,
gives favorable sketch of its agricultural pros
poets:
The wheat is ready for the cradle, and har-
vesting has already commenced on lower James
River. The Az has done much and severe da-
mage on poor soils, but the crop will generally be
fair one, nevertheless, having been rescued BY
the recent and abundant rains For miles and
miles on the bank. Of that beautiful river, the
grain OF the immense wheat fields is wavlng 10
the wind, and inr,ing the cutter. The corn is
we'll upa loot, IN some cases two feet high, heal
Thy and visorous,-and yet all are not done plant
ing. The oats promise most abundant CROP
The hay crop Will also be abundant The clo-
yer fields are teeming in luxurance, and in all
their spendor. The beauty OF the forests, the
verdure Of the fields the sweet, rich, ,eemine, Clio.

COL BELkNAP.-Ccl Belknap who com
manded the 9Th infantry in the late victories, is
the Lieut.. Belknap who al the sortie 81 Fort Erie
during The las war, distinguished himself by fight
ing hand 10 hand and refusing 10 enei The sailed,
port until every one OF his command had preceded

der who pinned him 10 The wall with bavonel !
Charleston Ne1rs.
This accomplished officer was lately stationed
a, Old Point, In The absence OF Gen. Worth,
he was in command of his regiment. We have
heard very interesting anecdoe Of The gallantry
of Col. 3. and his narrow escape. Ia the battle
ol,he 9th May hr had seized the "colors" of one
of the finest Mexican regiments and held The flag
STAFF in his hand, as lie sal on his horse. A can
non ball from Mexican gur passed through the
body Of a brave soldier in front him and struck
of the lower end Of the flagstaff; but Belknap
held the flagstaff firmly and bore of the Mexican
coors in triumph.

The Union says Since their attempts in Lon.
don to effect loan for Mexico, she has conhs-
Gated 10 her own use The duties from her custom
houses, which she had pledged TO her creditors in
England TO pay the interest on her previous debts.
Let US add to this desperate transaction, the
blockade OF her ports by our ships OF war, which
will cut off 10 great extent the imports of goods
and the consequent duties on which she calculated
for partial supplies, and we shall be able TO esli-
mate the very low ebb 10 which her resources, for
carving on The war with The United States, will
necessarily dwindle. Her want Of msney-ihe
necessity and the difficulty she experiences in OBJ
tanning a loan in Ensland-and her desperate
withdrawal Of the proceeds OF her cusom-houses
from The English capitalists, 10 whom they were
pedeed are calculated 10 abate, il not exiinguish
The suspicious which some have entertained, that
England is certainly assisting and urging MeIi-
co on 10 war with This country.

TERRIBLE TORNADO.

TERRIBLE TORNADO.
We have only time 10 inform you by to-nights
mail OF terrible tornado which visited our city
this afternoon, between five and six o'clock. The
wind blew tefrihc-large trees were blown down
houses unrooied-carriages on the roads near
the city were upset-lhe carriers, draymen, &C.,
ungeaTed their horses, unable 10 proceed farther,
and left their bnrlheHs in The streets, which weIc
absolutely covered with torrents Of water. Such
a storm was never before witnessed in Whining
lon Al this early hour il is impossible TO send
you all the particulars, but we have gathered The
following, and despatch them in great haste
The large ship house, belonging 10 Betls Har-
Ian & Hoinsworth, was entirely destroyed
Twenty men were in il, a! work on an iron
steamer; Two of them were Immediately crushed
TO death, and several others were considerably in
jured.
The large building, belonging TO Messrs. Tha-
cheers, was also blown down. Several Of the
workmen we're injured but We have heard OF no
deaths.
A brig was capsized in the Chrstiana, and one
OF the hands had his leg broken. Several small
Ter vessels broke from the wharf, and nearly all
the vessels in port were more or less injured.
The High Constable OF The city, while riding
on the road, was blown with horse and carriage,
into ditch, and was hurt by The plunging OF The
horse.
The tornado appears TO have been confined 10
quite small space, not extending more thantw
or three miles Passengers who came up in the
cars at o'clock state that very little damage was
observed beyond Newport, distance OF only
three miles from this city. Hence, there is
grounds 10 hope that as much injury has not been
sustained, as might otherwise have been expected.

COMMERCIAL.

The COMMERCE OF EURoPE. The Austrir
an Lloyds, in an article founded upon official
documents, gives the following summary of
the foreign commerce of Europe. The Euro
pean mercantile marine, without including the
coasting trade, comprehends 100000 vessels.
measuring in all 33 ,493 900 TONS The total
value of the merchandise they carry estimat-
ed at i ,935, 765, ,OOO, francs The proportions
per cent which each Of the different States Of
Europe bears in this total value are sfollows
England 6l l3-46, France g 3-5, Holland
70, Hamburg As. Russia 8 80. Sardinia
3 l-6, Belgium 2 Is, Prussia 2 l-9, Austria
! As, the Two Sicilies l. l-2, Sweden and
Norway is, Tuscany 10, Denmark |

and all the other States six per cent. The re-
suit is that the trade of Francetand Belgium,

,ains the following: t
LIEUT.. E. r. PRicE--HIs MELANCHOLY
FATE. Intelligence was received at Nalchez, on
Monday last, of the fate Of Lieutenant Ezra
K. Price, who in company with two other U.
5. volunteers, had left Camargo some weeks
since to join the command ol General Taylor
during his advance to Monterey. The inform
ant states that the bodies Of Mr. Price and his
two companions, were found lying in the grass
some distance from the road leading from Ca
margo to Monterey completely riddled with
bullet holes. The bodies of seventeen Mexi.
can soldiers were lying scattered around them
Mr.. Price, was the brother-in-law Of Lewis
Sanders, Jr, Of Natchez, and was associated
with him in the practice Of the law
AS ne aad his two companions were armed
with revolving pistols, it is supposed they must
have killed the seventeen Mexicans in most
desperate encounter.
