The Crops In Europe.

A letter dated Paris, July 10, says
The wet weather continues, but fortunate
ly it is not general in France. | saw a
letter TO day from the Jura, in which the
writer savs-"Our harvest is nearly all

| have eaten delicious bread made from
the new flour. From Italy the accounts
of the harvest are very favorable. The
corn is in many districts more than double
in quantity as compared with last year.
and the quality is excellent.
A letter dated Exeter, Eng, July 10,
says "A large portion of the surround
ing districts suffered much TO day from an
unusually heavy storm. Accounts which
have reached this city speak Of lis having
had most disastrous effect upon hay
crops, the standing corn has also sustained
considerable damage by beating down.
Letters from south England complain Of
heavy showers of rain and fear was enter
tanned for the quantity and quality OF the
harvest. The Sussex Advertiser however
says:

appears to confirm the highly satisfactory
opinion formed as 10 it, In reply to care
full inquiries personally made in recent
Journey lhroug houtalmost the entire length
of Sussex, and embracing also consider
able breadth of Ilamshire, we have heard
but one opinion expressed, viz: that the
wheat crop, as ii now stands on the
ground is one Of The finest and largest
on record; and that warm sunny weather
is only required 10 render the quality most
superior. The mrnips have received i'm

Four Kicks of Wheat Burnt.

We understand that Col ROBERT Lucas,
residing about miles south Of this place,
had, on Wednesday night, the 2nd inst,
four large ricks of wheat consumed by FIRE,
doubtless the work of an incendlary.-
Col. l.. had, Oh the same evening, just
finished stacking the fourth rick, and had
left new wagon standing between the
ricks, which was consumed !ageIheT with
the wheat. The wheat the ricks contain
ed is estimated at from twelve TO fifteen
hundred bushels. This is certainly con,
siderable loss, especially at present when
wheat is commanding high price. We
trust that the incendiary may be ferreted
out and dealt with to the extreme penalty
of the law.

Austria and Prussia are concentrating

The Hon. SherrarG Clemens, who rep

Congress, lately attempted to enIighlen

surrounding that new political oFganlza-

lis not nv purpose 10 defend them from the
attacks Of the Hon. gentleman, for they
have given evidence 10 the country OF their
ability to defend themselves against all at
lacks. whether in discussion or at the
IbaN0!-boG, much TO the terror OF political
leaders, who are now in vain attempting
to rally their DISCONTINUED hosts, who no
longer come at their bidding.
Ny purpose is 10 correct most reck-
less statement in regard to the most I'M
porlant event in our history. That such
a statement should have been made By
any one, is remarkable, bat that gentle
man representing an enlightened consu
uency in the National Legislature shoul
have so far perverted the truth OF History
is indeed wonderful. From the Far.

Here is a sentence beautifully rich IN
illustration and perfectly heart searching
1t will be fun to some readers and gall to
others. "A grain Of carmine will 'Inge a
gallon of water, so tina, in every drop the
color will be perceptible, and grain Of
musk will scent room for twenty years.
Just So, if a man cheats the printer, the
stain will be forever visible on the mlnu-
test atom of minute soul, and will leave
a scent Of rascality about an individual
strong enough TO make an honest man

him in any other mode"

Thrashing Wheat.

Some few of our farmers are now bust
ly engaged in thrashing out their wheat
crop. Some sales have been made atSl,
so per bushel, while others are holding
for higher price. We think that if our
farmers can get $3.50 for their crop they
had better sell, and at which price they
can very easily afford to take, rather than
run the risk of holding for an upward
price. The price of grain mustlnevitabIy
come down, from the fact that the crop in
the United States is much more than an
average one, while the European crop is
extremely ABUNDANT, consequently taking
all into consideration the tendency in the
price ofbrcadstufls will diminish instead OF
increase.

SANDWICH IsLANDs.-The Boston
Courier says, a private letter from an IN
teIIigent source at the Islands, dated Hon
oluu, May 18th, 1854, received in that
city, thus speaks Of the Annexation pro-
Ject:
1.-The Legislature is now in session,
and the subject Of Annexation will be
brought up for action, but ii is my oPm-
len that they will do nothing about 1t this
year. The natives are discussing the
subject, and wish for time TO consider 1t.
The British and French Consuls are do
ing all that they can to prevent such a
contamination. A newspaper has been
established here, which is published in
the native tongue, and is edited by an
American, devoted to explaining the sub
ject. 1t has very large circulation, and
is doing more to effect annexation than
any thing yet adopted.
