THE WHEAT CROP IN ENGLAND.

The London correspondent of the New York
Courier and Enquirer, under date Of August
oath, speaks in glowing terms of the wheat
crop of England the present summer. The
picture cannot prove altogether agreeable to
our farmers, whose fields were devastated by
the fly, the joint worm, and the rust. The
writer says:
LONDON, AuguD: 24.-In September of last
year, / wrote letter from here, in relation to
the 'corn Market in which predicted that
the price of wheat would double within three
months. That position was verified, as it re
quired very little foresight to perceive that it
would be. Wheat is now worth about sixty-fve
shillings per quarter; and after passing over
very large extent of country and looking closely
at the state Of the crops-and taking into view
what / know Of our own wheat crop, and what
is admitted to be the state of the case on the
continent-I venture the prediction that, in
three months, or before Christmas, wheat will
have fallen from sixty.fve to less than forty
FIVE shillings per quarter.
have never before visited the rural districts
of England during harvest time and have
arrived at the conclusion, from all l can learn
from "the Oldest inhabitant," that the wheat
crop now being rapidly secured without the
slightest injury from the occasional showers
which have fallen in certain districts and
slightly retarded the work, is not only the
greatest in extent, but the most productive per
acre that has ever been produced in the united
kingdom.
February, March, and April were the dryest
months remembered to have occurred in this
country; and during this period, more acres
we're sown with wheat and it was altogether
better sown and "got in" than on any previous
occasion. A good growing season followed ;
and now there are thousands Of acres lying
contiguous to each other, which will yield up.
wards Of sixty bushels to the acre This
greatly astonished me but in certain districts
this is not an unusual yield here. 1t is unusual
however, that this great yield should cover so
great an extent Of country as it does this year.
The averagelyield per acre this year, is est.
mated at thirty three bushels and upwards for
England.

tional misstatements that it does not deserve
our charity. But to return TO the resolution.
1t means everything or nothing, as the reader
may wish to understand it.
First, the repeal of the restrictive clause Of
the Missouri compromise is declared to be
inexpedient and unnecessary" without Civ
ing any reason for the declaration. Secondly,
it expresses the opinion that it will prove ben
e6cial to the people of the Territories, and fur
thermore, that it is surrender by Congress to
the States Of an usurped power, and "a cession
of light to the incipent States of the Union,
the exercise of which can, in all probability,
result only auspiciously to the people OF the
Territories and the peace of the Union"
Now if the repeal Of the Missouri restriction
is fraught with so many blessings, and no evil
results are specified, how can the clause or
" the introduction of the clause in the Nebras-
ka bill repeating the Missouri compromise /" be
inexpedient and unnecessary" All the argu-
ment in this resolution is against the first
opinion expressed in it.
But we understand, or think we understand,
the object of the trainers oft They intended
it as trap for birds Of every feather" They
thought that it would conciliate the Freesoilers
and the Repealers, and at the same time
satisfy the Nebraska men. 1t is character
istic soft " trick. Nor will it be successful, if
we may judge by the course of a large portion
of the convention. They were dissatisfied with
it and expressed their dissatisfaction. They
saw into it. They understood it, and they will
denounce it. Nobody is deceived by it. 1t is
bald humbug-a transparent trick.
The Softs need not expect success with such
rotten plank in their platform. If they mean
to oppose the Nebraska bill they ought to
come out manfully and say soft they mean to
support it, they ought to be equally bold and
honest They cannot do both things at the
same time. They cannot blow hot and cold
at the same breath.
We had hoped that the Softs would do bet
ter. If they have any sympathisers in other
States they cannot bat be mortified at their
course. However, we are inclined to look upon
this action of the Soft convention as retreat
from a canvass which can only result in disas-
ter to them. They are ashamed to surrender
to their enemies the Hards. They are afraid
to join the Fusionists. They are anxious to
keepin the favor ofthe administration and to fat
ten on the spois of Office. Under such circum-
stances, the best thing they can do is to retreat
r,ho
will not accept, they can throw their votes
away upon him, and leave him the privilege Of
saying when defeated that he was not candi
date and that the votes cast for him were spon
taneous and complimentary.
But in conclusion, we would appeal to all
honest constitutional Democrats in that organ
ization to vote for the Hard ticket for it stands
upon platform from which they cannot dis
sent.

M sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for

III Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to the public is attracting great attention, not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af
hicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his "rem-
edy," is physician in this city in high standing,
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; andwe do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed, has attractedthe attention
OF all sufferers from headache who have heard Of il.
From our own knowledge Of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor il receives, and that il will
prove 10 be great benefit TO all who may give il
a trial.-Lynn Nescs, December %, 1853.

tioD.-ABERDEKN, AHgna23.-Accounts have Just
come 10 hand from Captain Penny, of Ahe Lady
Franklin, that his expedition 10 Daviss Straits in
furtherance Of aproIet OF resident whale fishery,
has been most successful. He is now al Orkney,
with the Lady Franklin full OF boiled oil, and The
Sophia is expected 10 follow, also a bumper ship.
Il will be recollecied that the crew of an Ameri-
can whaer wrecked in Davis's Straits, three years
ago, had succeeded in killing, during their resi-
dence at Kumsooka some eight or nine whales.
This fact coupled with Captain Penny's large ex-
perence in the Arctic regions, led him 10 propose
that resident fishery should be established there,
and that a commercial company, under royal char
ter, should engage in the enterprise. II was in
tended, also, 10 work some plumbago mines which
were known TO be in the district; but the projet
was not sustained by government, aud fell through.
Captain Penny, however, was supported by few
commercial gentlemen who had the fullest conf
dence in the speculation, and the Lady Franklin
and Sophia, Arctic exploring ships, were pur-
chased and fitted out in Aberdeen for the expedi-
ton last year. Both ships were supplied with
tanks for the oil, and the necessary arrangements
were made for cncountering winters residence
IN the Straits in order be ready for the first OPP
port unity OF getting at the fish in the spring. Two
hardy crews were engaged, and provision was
also made for the moral and spiritual good Of the
natives, among whom Captain Penny expected 10
have 10 reside The ships sailed in July, last year.
and this is the first have OF them since that
time In a commercial point Of view, the specu-
aton will be a most profitable one, the oil alone,
being worth S,00Ol, while large sum will be re-
allied for some ten or twelve tons Of bone. The
Lady Franklin is expected up tomorrow, when
we shall get all particulars regarding this very in.
