BREADsTUPFs EUROPE. By reference to the late
foreign arrivals it will be noticed that the advices
are of the most favorable character as regards the
prices ruling at the date of sailing of the previous
steamers had been fully maintained if not slightly
increased This news will be hailed with satisfac-
ton by the agricultural portion of population,
as, in consequence of it. their production will meet
with ready sale at high figures. The recent great
advances which have taken place in the English
market for breadstufs is undoubtedly owing in
great degree to deficiency in the crops of the south
OF Europe-in France particularly. In England also
the wheat crop has been much smaller than for
number of years past-the deficiency being estima-
ted by the Liverpool Courier equal to 25 per cent
The same paper states that between England and
France there is less wheat by 13,500,0O0 quarters
than there was last year. In Italy, the King of Ma
pies has prohibited the expectation of breadstuffs,
and taken off the heavy duty on Importation; and
the Pope has suspended such exports for the pres
ent from the ports the Mediterranean and the
Adrlatic Altogether, the prospect of large Euro
pean demand for American produce was never better
IMAM the present. The extreme rates now paid IN
Liverpool may be attributable in some degree to the
prevalence of speculative feeling. STILL even if
TINS be the case, and this feeling should shortly
Perlence subsistence, it is generally thought that
comparatively high figures will be obtainable through
out the entire fall This may not prove to be the case
Out unquestionably the most probable view that
can be taken of the subject

is without any offset of good results Probably there
are but few men wilful incorporate, yet there are
many who blindly follow the desires of bad habit
without stopping to the cost in any of its
aspects.
Not one man in ten thousand could be induced
to spend so much time, property and health and re-

Let us examine some of the expenses attendentup=
on Incorporate habits. One glass day at cents
would cost the consumer in year $1S 30; three
glasses day for year would cost $54.75; six
day for ten years would cost 81 O95; ten day for
ten years would cost 81 $3.50.
The time spent in drinking ten glasses day for
ten years would consume not less than g. 100 hours
which, at the low estimate of ten cents per hour,
would be 500; total cost of liquor and time 81 1850
To say nothing of the arrangement of the nervous
system, the time lost in sickness, the doctors bills,
the bad bargains made while intoxicated the loss OF
property arising from carelessness and want of at

connected with such of life, the money lost
in betting, and gambling when thus mentally de-

Hoes THE CRoPs Prices We clip the follow
ing remarks from the Cincinnati Gazette of the 9Th
q We have, in accordance with our custom, en-.
deavored to obtain from the various parts of the
Western States reliable information with reference
to the crops and other matters connected with the
Agricultural interests of the country. From the adj
vices so far received, we draw the following conclu-
sions: Wheat has proved fair average crop, both
asregards quantity and Quality and the stocks
ap the country, including the surplus from the pre-
viots years are large, and will prove equal to any
demand that is at all likely to be expected Oats in
this section were light, while in other places, espe-
cialy farther west, the crops were heavy. Taking
the whole West, the yield may be set down at two
thirds of average crop. The yield of Barley was
heavy. Potatoes two thirds of a crop. Hay light
in Ohio, Kentucky, and great portion of Indiana,
and the surplus for export will be smaller than usual
Corn looks exceedingly well, and with favorable
fall the yield will be from full average to onefourth
excess In some places the yield per will be
below average but in almost every section there
was an increased breadth of land planted. Of Hogs
the supply is fully onefourth greater than last year.
The quality is in places BETTER and in others
not good at this time last season, but taken al
together it may be regarded fair average. Beef
Cattle everywhere scarce, dear, and in demand
and there cannot in any event, be an average sup
ply Farmers are increasing their stock fast
possible, but it will be three years before we may
expect the usual supply of BeeVes." ."e

THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAIL.
ROAD FRAUD.

We commence, 10 day, the publication of a
communication which we find in the Enquirer
and which, we presume, is from the pen Of MIR.
Alexander ]. Marshall. We shall make no
comments on il until we shall have been able
to get il all in but we invite the readers very
earnest attention to it.
BY the bye, the House appointed committee
some time ago, to investigate all matters con-
aected with this alleged fraud. We have heard
OF no report as yet. and that strikes US as lit
surprising. The task OF the committee is ex>
tremely simple. 1t is nothing more than to OBJ
tain certified copy of the record, in the case
of Marshall against the Baltimore and Ohio
Company. They have there, so we learn,
averred their own guilt in the strongest posi-
bic terms. What more is wanting The Balti-
more Patriot said, some time ago, that, howev-
er the case might turn out, il would be found
that there was nothing to impeach the integri-
~ Of the Company. We know nothing about
that. All we do know is that the Company
have avered upon oath, that they Obtained the
charter by fraud. If they are not to be believed
on oath, then it may be as the Patriot says, ana
in that case Mr.. Marshall ought TO recover. If
they are worthy of credit on oath, then the as
sumption of the Patriot is altogether gratui-
tous. Let the committee send for copy of the
record. That is enough.

80, ~h;eb opposes, can bring. The dan
ger Of such system, TO say nothing Of It's base
n... must be apparent to the least intelligent
"a, n.ver in the Commonwealth. Itcannot be
extended much farther without rendering the
STATE Bankrupt. II exposes the whole system
ofinterual Improvement to the danger OF being
destroyed, before the works have yielded a
dollar to the public treasury. Above all, it is
a stigma upon the State, and sinks it immea-
surably in the estimation of all right-thinking
men.
Itwould be amusing, If disgust did not mas
ter the emotions of mirth, to analyse the mo-
tives which at various times have governed
gentlemen who have voted upon both sides OF
questions involving the right Of way. Thus'
when il is proposed to tap the Southside haii'
road, the James River Canal, and the Cent,ai
Railroad, by a railroad from Lynchburg 10
Gordonsville, il is discovered, that this Is tue
direct road from the South, and that no eaHh'y
power can prevent travel from seeking Inc
nearest possible route. No thought IS theh
wasted upon the irreparable injury done 10 al
the lower part of Virginia. Oh no tra'ei'
like water, must find its level. When, on the
contrary, a right of way is asked over SIX
miles of Virginia territory, to correct win Tue
great tide of travel from the West. II is found
out that il is all wrong. ltmay inJure Nheei-
ingi It's, il seems, matter of the utmost
moment TO the Virginia Legislature that
Wheeling, known to Virginia only by the in
uries she has inflicted upon her prosperity,
should be protected even from such possible
injury as may result from giving the people
living twenty five miles above her the right to
construct railroad. Ii is a matter ofn mo-
ment, that the entire Eastern portion Of the
State should be cut off from all participation
in the benefits of the Western trade. The

We learn tn at this most iniquitous decision
of the House Of Delegates, is likely 10 produce
not the smallest effect on those whom it was
designed TO injure. The threat has been made
that highly penal law would be obtained for
the purpose of preventing the people OF the
Pan HandIe from building a road on their osn
land. 1t will be of no avail whatever. The
company intend to build ii, charter or no char
ter. They intend TO set Wheeling and It's
minions at defiance. They will bridge the
Ohio, and let the stream OF travel pass on
The House Of Delegates has only exposed its
own unutterable meanness without obtaining
its end.
