The Italian question rema ms almost in statu quo
II now appears that Austria has indeed accepted
the mediation OF France and England, but unde
such circumstances as do not for the present give
any immediate hopes of an adjustment. The tone
assumed by General Cavaignac, as having I" i'm
posed terms upon Austria, must deeply exaspe-
rate that power.

The Crops.
The weather during the past week has been
generally favorable tor harvest operations; and
although IN the southern counties some damage
has been done to the crops, we believe il will be
found that in the northern parts of the kingdom
and in Scotland, wherever the grain has been
carried, 1t has been secured in toerably good
condition. In Ireland the wheat crop will be con-
siderably below an average, the oats will be an
hal ta ne dI m nj shed
quantity sown, less than usual. We are afraid
however, that the damage to the potatoes will be
found to be most extensive. In England, as far as
the reports which have reached us can be relied
on, think the crop OF grain will be found to be
below an average.
The markets In the Baltic and In the Medlter-
ranean are comparatively high; and although there
will doubtless be a fair importation OF grain from
Europe during the rest OF the year, 1t will not be
until the entire removal of the duty, and the con-
sequent shipments in the spring from all quarters,
that the full extent of the business the foreign
trade will be asceftalned. Some Indian corn will
certainly be required to replace the loss consequent
upon the damage to the potato crop In Ireland.
