News from Europe-Two Steamships neari,
due.


The French steam ship Missouri, from Cher
bourg, has been at sea nearly fifteen days, pro-
vided she sailed on her regular day, the lst inst.
aud the English steam ship Cambria, from
Liverpool, has been at sea nearly eleven days,
having sailed on the 4th inst The former will
be due on Monday, the 18th inst, and the latter
on Tuesday, the 18th inst. 1t is the opinion oil
many that the news by the Cambria will be re.
ceived here before that by the French packet
The Cambria we know is the best and fastest
boat in the Cunard line, and the Missouri we
know nothing about.
Should the Cambria arrive first, our advices
from Europe will be fifteen days later than those
received by the previous arrival, and the ac-
counts will cover very important period, SO far
as the growing crops are concerned. Whatever
the character Of the news is relative to the har-
vests, 1t will give complexion to our corn
markets, which will be pretty permanent. We
anticipate slight decline in prices for breadstufs
IN the markets of Great Britain, and we look for
accounts to that effect by the steamers now
nearly due We also anticipate very moderate
improvement in quotations for cotton, and very
decided Improvement in the money market.
This is plain, and few days will settle the
point.
IL ia impossible to tell what the weather in
England was from the Goth of July to the 4th of
August; we have not calculated upon anything
unusually favorable on that score, but we have
based our prediction upon the fact that the re-
ceipts of breadstuffs in the principal ports OF
Great Britain, since the departure of the steamer
OF July Goth, have been immense, not only from
the United States, but from the northern and
southern sections of Europe
II would be well for -four dealers to pause
little while, to await the receipt of further news
to keep themselves quiet and perfectly cool, ane
when they get an Extra Herald, govern them.
selves accordingly.

This vessel will not leave for Southampton
and Bremen until the oath of September. This
delay is owing to number of alterations, which
the company deem in measure necessary. Her

Love OF THE SuBLIME.-A most re
markable instance Of animal sagacity hn:
occurred at the village of Rustington, neal
Arundel, in Sussex. Out of lane lead
ing from the village to the sea, cow has
been observed to emerge daily little be
fore high water, and to walk down on the
sands, and take up position about fifty
yards from the rising tide; there she would
stand, evincing every symptom of pleasure,
dill the waves reached her feet, and Their
she would very leisurely retire to her pas
ture again. One morning she had not beer
able to get to the sea side till very nearly
high water, and she was seer running dowr
the lane TO the beach in great haste, as j
afraid Of being too late to enjoy her &C
customed treat Such an instance we be
lieve to be unparalleled in natural history
Doubtless her sensitive ears would give du'
warning of the advancing waters whel
grazing in her quiet pasture; but it seem
very difficult to account for the animal
proceedings, except we entertain the idea
that it had true perception Of, and admire
ton for, s'the sublime and the beautiful

DREAMs.-l thank God for my happy
dreams, as ! do for my good rest, for there
is a satisfaction in them unto reasonable de-
sires, and such as can be content with a fit
Of happiness; and surely it is not melan-
choly conceit TO think we are all asleep in
this world, and that the conceits Of this life
are as meet dreams to those of the next, as
the phantasms Of the night, to the conceit OF
the day. There is an equal delusion in
both, and the one doth but seem to be the
emblem or picture Of the other; We are
somewhat more than ourselves in our sleep,
and the slumber Of the body seems to be
but the waking Of the soul. 1t is the liga.
ton Of sense, but the liberty Of reason, and
our waking conceptions do but match the
lancies Of our sleep.-.Sn Thomas Bro~n

NovEL.READISG MoNoNAYIAcs.-"Itis
pity that the trashy literature Of the day
should find readers within the walls Of a
college; yet it is thus that some spend too
much OF their valuable time. As an in
stance Of this, | am going to repeat here a
great story. A graduate Of Harvard told
me that, during his college life, he read
three thousand volumes Of fiction. Three
thousand. p you eIclaim; impossible he
must have said three hundred Three
thousand, he assured me and his veracity
rs UNREASONABLE. Nor did the evident re-
greet with which he spoke Of it admit oil
any motive to exaggerate. But let us see
if it be possible; and if it be, the well
known insatiste appetite, the mania, Of
novel-reading, in some persons, makes ii
probable. In four years, including one
leap-year, there are 1461 days; he had,
] then, TO read but two volumes and fraction
daily, Sundays included. Rising early,
and reading far into the night. he was able
to do this. He used, he said, to run into
Boston on his feet, every evening during
twilight, to the book shops and circulating
Libraries, to return volumes and obtain
others. had thought this an unparalleled
instance in the history Of novel-resding--a.
among students hope it is. But happen
ing to speak of it to friend, he mentioned
the following Being with two gentlemen
at book store in New York, at which
was kept circulating library, one Of then
remarked that an acquaintance Of bis wa
accustomed to read two hundred volumes o
novels year. The other thought it in
credible. The FIRST turning to the book
seller, asked what was the largest numbe
lof volumes drawn by one person from hi
library, in year. Referring to his books
he found that certain lady had taken fou
hundred and fifty sets, mostly two-volumed
making about nine hundred volumes. TIN
would amount, in four years, to 5000; s
that the fair one beat the collegian by 81,
