THr cRors.-The editor Of the Circular to Bank.
ers, than whom a more careful observer does not
exist, has just published the results Of his recent in
vest cations into the state Of the crops. The editor
observes:
"The spread of the disease has been signally ar
rested, and much larger crop of potatoes in Great
Britain and suspect also in Ireland will, we trust
be preserved, than any man dared TO hope for few
weeks ago. This is so far extremely satisfactory,
and has afforded US much relief"
The food prospects Of the country form a subject
of anxious controversy. The failure of the potato
crop ID not regarded quite heavy a calamity us
il was short time back. The fine autumna wea'
ther we have been enjoying during the last six or
seven weeks, which approaches in s mild beauty TO

THE cosrNEsr.-The news from the continent
relates almost entirely far il is OF any interest
to the projected French and Spanish matrimonial
alliance. The marriage Of the son Of Louis Phil

Spain, had raised storm OF Indignation in the lat

the formal name Of his government. Carlst in

European Corn Trade.

LONDON, Oct. 3.-Since our last report our mar

taken place in every article connected with the

or no bonded wheat at this port, the few parcels

The holders of wheat are becoming generally in.
different to sales at the present prices, consdera-
ton OF all circumstances appearing to lead to uni
versal opinion that much higher prices are about TO
be established, there being virtually no foreign
stocks in the bonded warehouses, and the increas-
ed consumption Of bread, and Of wheat for seed
be on scale so immensely increased that existing
prices begin to be regarded altogether below the
true value of the fine article of new English wheat.
