The European Corn Trade.

From the London Mercantile Gazette, Oct. 25-P NJ
The splendid weather with which we have been
avored during the greater part Of the month has
enabled farmers TO make great progress with out
door labors, and very large breadth OF land has
already been sown in the more forward parts OF
the kingdom The work thus far has been ge-
morally accomplished in a highly satisfactory
ner and, Notwithstanding the lateness Of the har-
vest, autumn labors are quite as forward as Is
usual at the corresponding period Of the year.
the rain Of the last day or two appears 10 have
been general 10 most parts OF the country In those
districts where wkeat-sowng had been completed,
faImeTs were anxiously looking for a supply OF
moisture; and even in the more backward districts
a few days wet would be useful, as the ground
has, owing 10 the protracted drought, become very
hard The whe At trade has maintained firm tone
since our last but here has not been much activity
in business and sellers have experienced con-
siderable difficulty in establishing slight advance;
stll the turn has, on the whole, been against the
buyer, as we'll at the chief markets IN the agncul-
tufal districts, as at the large consuming towns.
That the rise has not been more decided we at
tribute to the continued large arrivals Of wheat
and flour from abroad, and the knowledge that
shipments are still being made from some OF the
NJ ar continental ports 10 this country. We are,
nevertheless IL opinion that the value OF wheat will
creep up during the next month or elk weeks, as we
do not expect liberal deliveries from the growers
ill close upon Christmas, and our impression
is that the aggregate supplies from foreign
countries will also for a tine be more moderate
than heretofore There is certainly little, in the
re, emit state Of thinps, TO encourage consgnments
from anyoft the northern European ports, and though
there is small margin for proht on shipments OF
-four from some parts of France, the unsatisfactory
result 81 some OF the recent ventures ~ likely 70

quarter free on board, which, with the adj

farmers have still too much work 10 DO 10 bring

the home counties has likewise been moderate, and
there was less exhibited on the Essex and Kent

The transactions on Monday were of only a
retail character. and since then the demand has
rather fallen of than augmented; holders have,
however, remained very firm, and previous prices
have been steadily supported. No change has &C.
cured in the value Of flour, and though the re-
ceipts of the article from France have rather ex-
ceeded expectation, full terms have been demanded
for good qualities. There was rather an increased
show Of English barley samples on Monday, only
small portion of which proved of fine quality; and

extreme rates OF that day week, secondary and
inferior sorts hung on hand, though offered at ra-

less pressing sellers, and this morning prices
were quite as high as in the beginning Of the
week. The arrivals of barley from abroad have
not been so large as last week, and the best
heavy grinding samples have brought for
mer terms; out Of conditioned and light qua
lities have, in some cases, been sold rather lower

request, and its previous value has been well main:

Removals from once.

We have not heard much Of late from
Locofocoism in regard to removals from
office. Some thousand copies Of Mr..
BRADBURY's speech on this subject were
printed and scattered through the coun-
try; but, on the examination of the facts,
il turned out so clearly that the aggrieved
party were the Wines and not the Loco
focos, that the Opposition journals have
been completely silenced. The citadel
is yet in the hands Of the enemy, as far
as the Offices are concerned. Indeed, we
apprehend that there is not department
of the Government that is not very much
at the mercy Of Locofocoism except
the Department Of the Interior, in which
we believe the Wings have fair show Of
equality. In every other branch Of the
public service the Wings are in a mi
nority.
We have been led to make these re-
marks in view Of the policy that the Loco
focos have just put in practice in Virginia.
The Legislature Of that State have adopted
the system Of turning out Of Office every
State officer who is not a Democrat. In
defending this course, the Charlottesville
Republican, Locofoco journal, says that
the Wings ought not to complain if the
Legislature carry out the doctrine Of rota-
ton in Office. CIT is the doctrine" says
the Rspu6h can, ''the Wings practise when
ever they have the po,oer, and Wing is to
be put in the place Of Democrat"

A slight Jar fn the specuIstions upon the
Result Of a Dissolution of the Union.


II is curious to observe what wonder
full expansion the representative character
has suddenly undergone. A member of
the House of Representatives no longer
regards himself, il would seem, as repre-
senting district OF State; Senator no
longer speaks of his local allegiance as
being constrained to the narrow compass
of single member Of this great Confed.
eracy. Such contracted ideas are behind
the times. The spirit of progress and
enlargement has infused itself into the
relations Of the representative to his
constituents. II is not now fashionable
for member Of Congress to speak of his
constituents in the Strengthened sense of
representing the identical people or State
which elected him, but he must speak for
fifteen States at least, as though he was
chosen by all of them TO express their
combined and concordant views upon
matters of vital consequence to them.
There might be much TO commend in
the elasticity Of the relations between
constituent and representative, if they
were stretched to compass the whole
Union. The allegiance of the represent
alive is due to the Union and his State,
as was well observed by Mr.. CLAY, in his
great speech upon his compromise resolu-
tons. He is responsible to no other SOW
ereignties, and can therefore represent no
other. When the State allegiance of a
member of Congress is too contracted for
his aspirations, it must find expansion in
those that are national. But now il is the
