ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.

The British steamer Caledonia arrived at Boston
last Sunday with Liverpool dates to the 18th ut In
referring the political character OF the advices by
the Caledonia the New York Express says
The news from Europe which we publish, to-day,

In the foregoing estimate the deficiency Of the
Brazil import at 100000 bags the shortness will
all appear till s5o-the crop year being estimat
ed from June TO June.
The quality Of the last crop very poor, the
trees having suffered by the dry weather that COM
menced in April, 1871; this continued without any
soaking rain, till November, 1913. When the trees
blossomed in September and October, lS4S, they had
strength to hold the blossom and the consequences
is the very bad prospect for the crop ready for
picking. The drought was general, and most OF the
water mills in the interior stopped for want OF
water for nearly twelve months, preventing many
planters cleaning their coffee except By hand. These
facts are notorious, and not like many of the reports
set in circulation regarding short crops i'll other quar-
tiers. From former experience We know that no
shortncss of any consequence occur in Brazil,
without very good and sufficient cause. This has
now occurred 1t was Of long continuance-generu
throughout the Coffee districs-and known to all.
Another good proof my mind of its truth is, that the
planters, who generally in debt, and base their
credit upon their crops would not say that they only
expected third to half crop, if not real

Soldiers Land Warrants. The New York Sun
says, the purchase of soldiers land warrants by
number of our leading politicians, and the subsequent
selection of large tracts in Illinois, has had the effect
of raising the price of warrants. They have been
sold for one hundred dollars less, but are going up
rapidly

vapced TO & 40. The whole amount of Warrants
issued up to the LIST of May instant $1,000 OF 100

Warrants leaving 80 0JU of the former and 1000 of
