TE,e Price of Breads uffS.

The spectators are down in the mouth. Their
calculations of enormous profits from famine prices
bid fair to prove deIusive. The advices from Europe
indicate not only fair, but even an enormous crop
The Foreign Correspondence of the Boston Post,
dated London, Sept. list, says: " 1t may be safely
stated fact, that the present crop of Great
Britain and Ireland is onequarter greater than it
in any former year. The wheat is of the very
finest quality, weighing 60 to IS pounds per bushe,
and 10 be tainted or injured in the slight
est degree. In France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark,
Saxony and, in fact, all Europe, there is pro-
mise of the abundance so that no drain for Eu-
ropean consumption will contribute this year to
sist the speculative panic in getting up famine prices
for the benefit of operators. Last year the
crops throughout the West OF Europe were very far
below average. This year they very far above
it, both in quantity and quality. Under these cir
cumsances wheat and -four must come down from
their present outrageous rates. The idea of paying
here $l3 so per barrel for prime -four is awful. 1t
is at least so per cent too high because it exhibits
advance at least that much in of the rise in the
price of other produce or labor

too far or it did not go far enough. 1t went sufR-

medicine will not make sick man we'll neither
will change of Ministers, or even of measures, heal

because it did not leave with the people themselves
the chance of working out their salvation. The
leading idea of the Spanish patriot is opposition to
the Capitalization at Madrd-the government of the

more independent the municipalities more free
Without some change in this respect can be made,

The WILMINGTON AND MANCHESTER RAIL Road
We from private letter of Gen. w. w. Har-
lee, the President of this road to gentleman in this
place, that letter from of grocery houses TO
COL Alfred Smith, of Whtesville, informed him that
the Superintendent of the c. R. R. Co. at Columbia
had said that the officers of the Wilmington and Man
chester Road had refused to receive any consgnments
of Flour over this road
This, we are authorized to say, is untrue. They
have only refused to receive HogsheaIs and heavy
Boxes
There orders here now to send more than a
thousand Barrels of Flour this road TO Whites
vile and Wilmington, which this false rumor has
prevented from being complied with. These orders,
and this spirit of jealousy the part of the Char
lesion road, show the importance OF direct connec.

CANT rates Flour is as cheap in Liverpool as New

excellent. In spite of the speculative attempts to

tune will be required to buy Darrell of good -four.
