WHEAT, FLOUR. BREADsTUFFS

The following article which we copy from
the London Shipping Gazette oil October 2,
will be read with interest by our Farmers as
well as dealers in BreadstufTs generally:
Though Wheat has risen in value about
l5s. per quarter since The end of July, and
prices of other descriptions of grain in nearly
the same proportion, an opinion is prevalent
that quotations will be much higher during
the approaching winter. The grounds for
this belief are, the asccrtained deficiency in
the produce of all spring corn, and the ex-
tensive failure of The potato crop. That
Great Britain will require a very large i'm
portation Of grain before the next harvest
cannot be questioned and as The stocks Of
old grain are comparatively insignificant all
over Europe, whilst the harvest OF 1876 has
turned out more indifferenily on the Cont
nent than in England, it may be difficult 10
secure the requisite quantity. To succeed
in doing SO, il will certainly be necessary 10
pay high prices. as their own necessities will
render our continental neighbors more than
usually tenacious in parting with their pro-
duce. Prices have already got up consider
ably at all the leading ports in the Baltic,
and by the britannia steamship we learn
that the expectation Of a failure octhe potato
CROP in Europe had caused a rise in the val
ne Of flour Of three fourths or Il dollar per
barrel at the principal MARKERS of the United
States. We are, however, glad to learn
from thence that the yield of both Wheat
and Indian corn, was abundant over the
greater part Of North America. The latter
article If is true, had not then been secured,
but it was in so advanced a state as 10 be;
considered out Of danger. Great as are the
resources Of the United States it would be
unwise TO calculate on any thing like IL sup

THE TRIUMPH!
A WING GOVERNORS!
% ofthe 81 Congressman!
A Wing Legislature :!

The returns received since our last, fully
confirm the Triumph which the Wings have
achieved. 1t is overwhelming. Even more
than was hoped Tor by the most sanguinc has
been achieved. Few, acquainted with the
sentiment OF the State, doubted the defeat of
SLAs WRIGHT He had rendered himself
obnoxious to the People. His Executive Ca
reer had been distinguished by extreme po-
litical malevolence, and the most bitter hos
tiliiy 10 the true interests of the State.
II was not, however, deemed probable
that the Wings could succeed in ~electing a
majority Of the lower House. In several
counties, where they were strongly in the
majority, there we're Union and Ambient
Tickets, upon which men of either party
were placed, while in others. where il is now
evident Wings might have succeeded, no
members were put in nomination. Yet, not
wifhstanding this adverse state Of things, the
Wings have carried a handsome majsritv o.
the Lo1rer house, and will probably nave n ma
jorify on joint bGliot-though of this there is
still some little boubt.
On members Of Congress, our triumph ia
overwhelming and glorious. The election Of
a majority Of the members from this State,
was considered barely possible. Our friends
were determined to try. In most OF the Dis
tricts, they placed their very best men IN
nomination, and made a vigorous canvass for
them. The result is their reward. We have
a majority OF the Delegation, thus showing
that upon National as well as State ~issues,
New York is emphatically Wing.
The Whigs will have one, perhaps both,
oil the Canal Commissioners. Messrs. Cloves
CW.) and Hudson IL. F. are most likely E.
lecfed.
The only drawback to this cheeringvicto-
ry, is the probable defeat Of our 1t. Cover
ner. This is a source of extreme regret. Mr..
is a true Wing. He has been faithful, i'll
all emergencies; and his election would have
been hailed with enthusiasm throughout the
State. as his probable defeat will be received
with profound regret. II he is delested, it is
attributable TO the malignant attacks

Message Of the PRESIDENT.
70 lie Senate ar United States.

10 Tie Senate afhe United States.
In answer to the inquiry of the Senate, con-
tanned in their resolutions of the 18th inst,
whether, in my "judgment, any circumstances
connected with, or growing out of, the foreign
relations Of this country, requires at this time
an increase Of our naval or military force,n and
if so, "what those circumstances are" l have to
express the opinion, that a wise precaution de-
mands such increase.
In my annual message Of the Cd December
last, | recommended to the favorable considera-
ton Of Congress an increase Of our naval force
especially Of our steam navy, and the raising of
the adequate military force to guard and protect
such of orr citizens as might think proper to
emigrate to Oregon. Since that period, /
have seen no cause to recall or modify these
recommendations. On the contrary, reasons
exist, which in my judgment, render it proper
not only that they should be promptly carried
into effect, but that additional provision should
be made for the public defence.
The consideration Of such additional provis-
ion was brought before appropriate committees
Of the " houses Of Congress, in answer to
calls made by them, in reports prepared, with
my sanction, BY the Secretary Of War, and the
Secretary Of the Navy, on the 29th December,
and on the 9th of January last, a mode of com
municutiOn with Congress not unusual, and I'M
der existing circumstances believed to be mos
eligible. Subsequent events have confirmed
me in the opinion that these recommendation
were proper as precautionary measures.
