from New York, caused great excitement there al
well as in this city. At 3 o'clock the news CON-
meneed to arrive, and am enabled to enclose you
all that has been received up to this time.
ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN
SEVEN DAYS LATER from ruRorE.
Important commercial nsies-.fdpanes IN the price Of al
descriptions Of .insriean produce.
The Great Western arrived at New York at one
O'Clock this morning. On the Goth and 2lst inst
experienced tremendous gales lost wheel.bouse,
quarter boats in house, and suffered much other
damage. There is no positive news Of importance
The market for all descriptions Of American prod.
uce was advancing. ...
The news from India is Of rather unexpected In
tsrest The victories which the British army aehiey-
ed on the banks Of the Sutege have not resulted in
that amicable arrangement and profitable settlement
which was hoped for, and premsturely bossied OF.
Ghooab Singh finds himself beset by pecuniary dif-
hentes; and he either cannot, is unwilling to pay
his debts.
All such emergencies in India will lead to the
finest development Of resistance ofths British claims
Consequently the war will have to be renewed in
the Punjaub and the province Of Lahore; and the
territory eonditionally assigned to Ghoolab Singh
repossessod and attached 10 the British territory
CoAMERcIAL.--The improvement in business
which We noticed al tho sailing of the last
continues, and matters are nearly in the same re-
ative position as when we last addressed our read
es. The failure of the potato crop influences the
prize OF provisions Of every kind. Bacon and ham.
ars raising rapidly, as glance at our market re-
turns will snow.
Indian corn 10 also increasing IN value, a. in
aet Is almost every kind of grain. That the
failure Of the potato crop in every part OF the
world greatly multiply the wants Of the labor
ing classes in Great Britain s undeniable. The
advance to which we have alluded may be
traced TO the increased demand for other de
.crptons Of food, and there is every to be-
lieve that the present prices may be maintains
ed, if indeed they do not advance. As an arti-
Gle Of human food, the of the potato seems likely
to become extinct. The injury may be temporarily
pressing, and productive no doubt, Of suffering bul
Ultimate consequences can hardly fail to raise the
condition Of the Irish peasant and 70 improve his
social habits He will be raised in the scale feivili-
zation by having higher and more nutritious kind
potato has been curse, not blessing to ireland.
The cotton market continues steady, and although
we cannot fix higher quotation, yet on some de-
scrirtions there has been upward inclination.
Considerable anxiety prevails respecting the new
crop. The next accounts are eagerly looked for,
and prices will probably take their complexion from
the advces by the incoming and the succeeding
packets.
The liberal way in which the government is act
ing in Ireland disarms all fear Of national starvation
The first duty OF government is to feed the people
and what is now regarded a calamity may prove
in the end substantial benefit by the Introduction
of improvements which would not otherwise have
beer made. The employment Of the people on pub
lie works in Ireland will, it is clear, be carried out
on large SCALE
Ths present popular lord lieutenant has already
issued nearly ffy commissions for the holding Of
colonial sessions in different parts Of Ireland, and
upon the investigation and decison of the mnjores
in session, as to their respective districts, he will act
with the confidence which exists at present in the
money market, and the encouraging prospects that
are before US.
The grain markets with US, with our continent
tai neghbors, are on tho rise. Whatever affects
England, influences the whole commercial world
1t will be perceived that everywhere animation pre-
vails and that the theory of free trade will have
plenty of scope for the development of its alleged
benefits, or, as some contend, its injuries.
The news from India is calculated to produce
feeling of weariness in political as well as in a
commercial sense. Sir Henry Hardnge, it seems
now to be universally admitted, Notwithstanding his
skill and bravery, evnced in the with the Sikhs,
has made a bungling business oft, and in all prob
ability the work will have to bo done over again.
Mistaken clemency in the case of semi-barbarans is
onentimes positive cruelty.
The ravages of the cholera have, diminished in
Scinde; and it appears they have been exagger.
ated.
The failure of the potato crop is universal. The
reports from every part of the United Kingdom are
appalling whilst letter after letter from the continent
details the ravages which this strange and unaccoun
able disease has made in France, Belgium, Holland,
and Prussia.
The crops in the United Kingdom are not more
than an average, either in quantity or quality. We
must therefore, look to other countries for sup.
ply sufficient for the large and increasing consump.
ton that is now going forward. r g.
Again. the accounts from France, as to the harvest
in that country, are most distressing.
A very large quantity Of wheat will therefore he
required for immediate want, all over the north OF
Europe, for the staple article of consumption has
yielded miserably short. .a .. F.. .s'
Lospos-There is very little Indian corn in the
London trade, and the immense extent Of the orders
for Ireland renders improbable any importation t
England sufficient to affect the market for oats for
the present year. .....a.
On the 10Th, foreign wheat was held about ls. per
quarter higher, and -four was in fair request--hne
American now bringing 30 to 3ls. per Dbl.
LrvEarooL Our market here has been like thai
of London, rather animated for all kinds Of grain
The demand is extensively large.
