TRADE WITH ENGLAND. The money arti-
Gle of the New York Herald, states the ex-
| ports to Great Britain and her colonies from
the port of New York, during the month OF
May last, at 81, PAP, 9O5-of which 81 100, 1924
were Of domestic merchandise. The exports
| from that port during same period TO all places,
were S2,s2S, 50S-showing that our trade
with England is nearly one-half of that which
we carry on with the whole world. And yet
there is danger that this valuable commerce
will be sacrificed in a contention about strip
of land which is of little Importance to either
party. The same article says
''The commercial relations between England
and the United States are ofthe most valuable
and important nature, particularly to the prin-
cipal agricultural interests of this country. The
balance Of trade between the two countries is
annually largely IN our favor, and as the varie-
! ty ofour exports increase, larger markets will
! spring up for our productions. Our shipments
of breadstufis and provisions to Great Britain
within the past five or six years, have increased
immensely, and the facilities we now enjoy, in
the entry of our products into British ports,
compared with those of former years, will open
a trade between the two countries in the agrI-
cultural products of the North, hardly second
to that now existing in the principal agricultu-
| raj product of the South. The removal of the
restrictions contemplated under the new corn
! bill of Sir Robert Peel's, will ultimately give
us markets for our breadstutfs-we say ulti-
mately, because it will require some time to
extend the cultivation of grain in this country,
sufficient to bring prices down to point low
enough to enable us to compete successfully
with the grain growing countries more fayora-
bly, situated to anticipate US in any demand for
breadstufs in the United Kingdom"
MATANoRAs-HS appearance. A correspon-
dent of the Newark Advertiser, attached to the
army, writing from Matamoras, says:
| We entered the city without firing a gun,
and displayed the star spangled banner in short
order. The place looked beautiful from the
other side of the river, but l was surprised
when we rode through it, The best street in
the city is in no respect better looking than,
say Anthony street New York. The families
appear to be afraid of us, but have seen some
pretty looking women. The farm houses in
the vicinity are neat looking and the farmers
bring into camp poultry, butter, eggs, green
corn, fresh beans, &c. The camp is in fact
thronged with milk-grls from the neghborhood
every morning and evening. Small oranges
are abundant, and we have plenty of water
melons, so that after enduring a great deal Of
untold hardships in Texas, the army is now
comfortably quartered in the enjoyment of ma
ny of the good things of life.
! Amongst the booty found in one of the pub
! lie store-houses here was a large quantity of
segars, which were yesterday distributed among
the Army, and each man received some 800
which are now 'being smoked" with ven-
geance.

THE WHEAT CRoP. The weather has been
very much against the wheat crop-the wind
and rains of last week having prostraSed whole
fields almost level with the ground, and the
damp atmosphere and clouds of the present
preventing it from being raised by the SUM-
Considerable apprehension is entertained, that
the crop will be injured by the rust, and few
days more of the present unfavorable weather
will probably produce this result. The har-
vest promises to be abundant, should the
wheat escape the rust.
