The Foreign News,


The anxiously expected Great Western has ar
rivod at last-aiter having been storm.steSed and
weather.beaten unit, her inmates had wcilngh
despaired of ever seeing dry land again She
brings tidings of disaster and wo to Western Eu
rope In the failure Of the Potato and the deficiency
OF other Harvests, which calculated TO increase
the demand for and enhance the price OF our own
staple products Of Food very materially. Thousands
will be benefited, a few score enriched, by the re
ports Of European markets and prices which the
Telegraph yesterday bore, in a few momencs atter
their receipt, to Washington, Boston, and Buffalo,
whence feet steamboats, and horses are bcar
them to every part Of our Country There is great
danger that the mad speculations of last Autumn
ore to be euacted over again ultimately causing
tho bankruptcy of very many who are now in com
Portable circumstances, and possibly deranging th9
Currency and Business OF the Country
Worse even than this result is that passion io'
gambling in the necessnrcs Of life which such It'd
ings as Yesterdays, such course OF trade we
are now entering upon, are calculated to foster ans
inaame Our people will be tempted to forget that
this European demand FOL our Grain is not regular
and healthul but casual and lortuitous-a consc.
auence not of growth and vigor but Of disease and
utrophy. Hundreds will be sufficiently unprinc
pied to say Behold here a result Of the relaxing
of Tariffs in Great Britain and America! Behold
the prices which our Farmers are to realize for
I. thoir Grain under Free Trade! These know well
that this just as much result OF the modification
of Tariffs as Of the ravagesof the last Indian Chol
era; but the less Informed thousands do not know
is. They will calculate that this British demand
-, h,.t oil
be still greater next year than this the sowu
to Wheat will be rapidly enlarged, while our Homo
Market for it will be narrowed by the purchase in
increased ratio Of our Cloths and Wares abroad
and the first good crop in Europe, il our own be
fair also will burthcn our farmers with enormous
surplus for which they will find no market but Mt
prices ruinonsly low. This is the result TO which
we clearly teud--a precarious. gambling condition
of Labor and Business, il which the mass of our
Farmers will labor to produce crop III doubt
whether their recompense shall be liberal meagre
orutterly wantng--an uncertainty inevitably fatal
to persistent, regular Industry We shall be agree
ably disappointed if even two years pass without
giving the larger number of our producers reason
TO regret the European scarcity OF which the re
aulta are now hailed with such general and eager

cast apprehension to the winds We only ask then,
10 remember, or rather to recall, our Sorebodings
but there is another feature Of our Foreign
adviees which we regard with lively and ioyous
interest, We allude 10 the new British mode OF
dealing with Irish complaints snd grievances In
ssead OF doubling the troops, or even the Police,
and passing Coercion bills as would have been
done few yesrs since in view Of spprehendcd
famine in Ireland. the British Ministry has resolve
oprovide relief on gigantic scale for the suffer,
ing Irish BY giving them EMPLOYMENT. No new
PoorLaw Bastiles or Curfew bills, but new Ca.
malls, RAILROADS., bog dranings, &c &c-these are
the means resorted 10 in preparation ioT an expect.
ed scarcity of Food. Meal in vast quantities is
sent into Ireland, and work devised NJ which the
Poor are to be steadily snd usctully employed IN,
I'll the crisis is past. Such IS the new safeguard
against the anticipated turbulence and seditioa o.
starving millions who will ssy that II Is NOT ar
improvement on the devices OF former ages
Who does not see that it suggests still farther
Improvement How msay thousands on thou
sands is not England supporting in Poog,Houses,
year after year, who, with an sore and a cottage
TO each family, would more comfortably support
themselves Why should no, Public Charity. 10
al but the incarshly infrm, ultimately rake ;hi,
shape altogether, and secure TO each unfortunate a
place TO live and chance TO work reatfree and
