SUFFERING IN NEBRASKA.

The editor of the New York Mirror is informed that
there is already much suffering among the Nebraska emil
grants for the necessaries of life and that the coming
winter threatens prove fatal to large portion of the
settlers The Mirror draws the following picture of anc
pated suffering and death
''Whout houses to live in, without markets Gf they had
money! to supply them food and with fish and very little
game poor egrans who have gone ont there under the
lead of slavery fanatics must hurry home die for want

We are inclined TO believe that the coloring in the

AMERICAN TRADE WITH AUSTRALIA.

In a late commercial circular, issued by respectable
mercantile firm in Melbourne. Australia find the fol-
lowing important admission:
100 American vessels have to port with
of merchandise valued Sb OOO while the total
value Of merchandise received at this port cannot fall short OF
sl0O OOO and this population of from 22a 900 to
$50, 900 to consume"
The circular adds We still think this market
offers inducements to friends of the United States
What other inducements those of positive pecuniary
loss others versed in mercantile mat
than profess to be determine 1t that in
country with population not much larger than that
of the city of Baltimore where TO certain extent the lux
ures of life almost unknown and its necessares not in
universal use, the imports during fifteen months have
reached the enormous of one hundred millions AT
this ratio the imports of the United States for the same
time would have reached the fabulous of eight thou
sand millions of dollars! If this statement Of the imports
of Australia does exhibit the spirit of speculation
der its widest and fatal type then the laws Of trade
bugbears deter the timd from entering into
circular correct would require all the products of
the mines the fields and the forests of Australia in pay
the mporations-a state of things which would
result in immediate and universal bankruptcy aud ruin.
As such of things does not exist in Australia the
inference legitimate that although the goods imported
100000, they sold for much less sum. Where or by
whom the sustained the circular before us does
not state.

In a late number of the Paris HoniteW full details are

who occuuies distinguished position in French literature

The Americans had thus the honor to open to the com

remained shut and they were 40 fortunate to accomplish
without resort the which, though often required
by policy and trading interests not the less rcpugnant to

weak communities We may doubt however, that Commo-
