In Britanny the decline 10 the price OF wheat
is not so remarkable, but the markets are well
supplied. AT Nantes there exists brisk de-
mand for the towns on the Loire. In the CEN
trail departments the markets are well supplied
and show tendency to decline. AT Orleans
there has been fall of IF. SOC. the hectolitre.
At Bordeaux and Toulouse the stock of corn or
hand is not sufficient to supply the demand
At Marscilles inferior qualities of wheat are
selling at reduced price. In the southeast
ern departments of the Doubs and the Jura the
supply is fully equal to the consumption, and
prices are declining. The fine weather has
exercised an equally salutary influence in Al
SAGE. Wheat has fallen francs the hectoli-
tire at Strasburg. Muhonse is overstocked
with wheat and flour from Naples. We may
therefore fairly consider that the food crisis is
drawn to conclusion.
The Crops in Germany, dc.
The prospects of large grain crops at the en-
suing harvest in the south of Germany and on
the shores of the Mediterranean appear exceed
Inglv encouraging.
Accounts from Gibraltar state that during
the 18th, 10th, Goth, and 22d ultimo upwards
OF 500 or 900 vessels, which had been wind
bound for some time, had succeeded in passing
the Gut. The majority were laden with grain
&c. After passing the Straits they proceeded
westward. 1t is believed that the majority
were bound for Great Britain and Ireland.
IRELAND
The Earl of Clarendon has been sworn in be-
fore the Lords, Justices, and Pivy Council as
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
In Ireland death is still making terrible rava-
ges IN different parts, in the south more espe-

sustain the sinking people, and transmit their
souls 70 heaven with all the comfort which re-
ligion imparts to expiring humanity.
In some of the principal towns of the north
of England typhus fever RACES with increased
virulence. In Liverpool, Lee Is, and other pla-
ces several of the Catholic clergy have fallen
victims to their ministerial duties-caught the
fever, and died. The present hot weather, SO
favorable for rpening the earth's fruits, is I'M
fortunately extending this dire disease; and. it
IS to be feared that, ere its destructive effects
have disappeared, more valuable lives will be
sacrificed.
The mortality at Cork from famine and fever
appears to be tremendous. There were 277
free interments in the Matthew cemeterey in
one week; in one day 81. In the workhouse
there were 80 deaths.
Dublin, June 1.-Harrest prospects.-No
further accounts have been received of any ten
dency to disease in the potatoe crop. On the
contrary, all the agricultural reports are highly
favorable as regards that esculent, as well as
the grain and green crops of all descriptions.
The weather is all that the farmer could desire.
We have rapid vegetation under the influence
of fine genial temperature. New potatoes
are beginning to appear in small parcels, and car
be had at I'd. a pound in some places.

From the st. Loas Union, Junel2th.
Mr.. Richards arriAed here yesterday from
Fort Laramie, which place he left on the 2fth
of March, in company with two other traders.
He brought in more than 90 packs of robes.
The upper Indians have been very quiet during
the winter Laat March party of Nembss, so
in number were killed by the Sioux. When
he left, 700 lodges of Sioux were on their way
south, to fight the Pawnees.
At Elm Grove he met 400 Delawares, Shaw
nees, &C., on their way ag ainst the Paw nees.
They expected to be joined by the Caws, two
or three hundred strong. The snow is unusuly
deep on the mountains, so that high rise NAV
be expected I'M few weeks. The traders have
done exceedingly well the last season. There
was plenty OF buffalo on the Platte, and as far
sonth as the Blue River.
He met the advance party of Mormons at
Big Island, about $50 miles from the settle-
ments. There were lS0 wagons. The next
party of emgrants were those who left. ST.
Joseph, and were met on the great Nemha, and
numbered GA wagons. They were getting a.
long well, with tine cattle and horses-trayel-
ling from 20 to % miles each day. They
were bound for Oregon and California.
1t was supposed on the frontier that the emf
grtion to Oregon would be exceedingly large
this year-some thought at least 5000 wagons
weuld GO out. A party OF MoImohs was at
Grand Island putting in corE-and about one
halfof those at Council Bluffs would remain
there this season, and plant extensive fields.
From general indication there will be a Sc
we're contest with the Pawnees, who number
| about 500 lodges whilst the Sioux alone
number 1900. The various tribes collecting
for this expedition under the lead of the Sioux
manifest bitter hostility against rhe Pawnees

PHILADELPHIA, June 24-1IA.

PHILADELPHIA, June 24-1I A. NJ.
BY an arrival at New Orleans from Vera
Cruz we have Vera Cruz datesto late hour on
the l Eth instant, and from New Orleans to the
18th inst. The news is important as showing
a continued disposition to assail our forces
wherever any advantage can be obtained oror
them.
The train one hundred ann twenty-five wag-
ons. laden with Provisions and quarter of a
million of specie, which left Vera Cruz early on
the morning of the 9TH Inst and in command of
eight hundred troops, was attacted near Vera
Cruz by large band of the Marauding Guer-
rila troops.
The party were not more % niles from
V ere Cruz. The number OF Guerrilla troops
making the attack ar not named, but the escort
was assaed at all points.
Forty of our wagons were destroyed or cap
tured, but the specie which the frebooters were
in search of was saved. The attack was as
general as it was unexpected, but the escort
under all the disadvantages of guarding large
train and of being compelled TO remain by it
retained possession of most of the government
property. We lost however two hundred
mules and from thirty to forty men who were
killed.
The specie was going forward for the pay
ment of the troops at Jalapa, Perote and
Pueblo, and the provisions were deemed neces-
airy for their substance.
The Guerillas have fer the time cut off our
communication with General Worth and the
Commander-In-chief, from whom we have not
heard for some days.
Genreal Cadwallader was preparing to force
passage through to Jalapa, and has sent for
reinforce ment, but the small number of troops
at Vera Cruz do not admit of the required as
sistance,
The train was under command of Colonel
Mcintosh, brave officer, but he would not ad
vance without assistance from General Cad
walder,s command, which had been sent for
ward.
General C. commanded the relief in person
but he will meet with no real resistance as the
enemy will fee before any additional force.
Fortunately troops had just arrived at New
Orleans 10 take the place of those who would
go forward under Gen. Cadwalder
There are rumors that the enemy attack
ing the train will entrench themselves at the
National Bridge.
The Guerillas have grown bold enough to
hover upon the very borders Of Vera Cruz
and are prowling like vultures upon the out
skirts of our troops. Posted as we are De-
tween Vera Cruz and Puebla, have no seri-
ons apprehension at this end of the line, Vera
CRUZ.
A large body of troops were organizing near
Rio Frio,at our last advices, but they were not
united; Indeed they are as ripe for civil war
as for war against the Americans.
A large number of sick and wounded troops
arrived at New Orleans on the 18th, from Vera
Cruz. the widow of Major Bosworth is with
the party, her husband, a Paymaster, having
died of the Vomito, which is rapidly on the
increase at Vera CvuZ.

Opp FELLOWS JURIsDICTIoN.-A case of
some interest was decided in Baltimore by Judge
PURvIANcE on Wednesday, which gives the
Order of Odd Fellows right to decide contro-
versies arising within it agreably to its own
laws;
The questions involved are simple, but impor-
tant to the institution of Odd Fellowship, and
ported sick to the Lodge on Monday, the % of
FEBRUARY, ls47; but it being made apparent to
the Lodge that he had worked at his trade up to
the preceding Saturday, the benefits claimed
were refused, in accordance with the bylaws,
which granted no benefits until the party ap-
plying had been sick at least one week. = e.
Subsequently an action was brought by
Crane for the sum Of @l2, being the amount
alleged to be due for three weeks, sickness.
