The CRoPs IN EHGLAND.--The London
Mere antile Gazette OF Aug. 9th, speaking
ofthe wheat crop, says that "itis certainly
not promising in appearance; and however
much il may be favored by the weather. the
yield must inevitably be short. There are
reports Of blight from several parts Of the
Kingdom, and fears are entertained of dis
ease similar to the potato rot.p The pota-
to crop is also spoken of as being in a preca-
rious condition, not only IN the British ISL
ands, but in France, Holland, Belgium, and
SOM parts Of Germany likewisei and there
can be but little doubt that a large portion
will be lost.
The opinion is expressed, that under thi.
state Of affairs, coupled with the unfavora.
bic aspect Of matters at the East, bread
stnfis can hardly be expected to recede in
price, though at the present moment there
is some languor in the market. In 1conse'
quence ofthe spread Of the potato disease
corn afioat has advanced in price.
