The Most Important News from Europe
Deficiency I'm the Grain Crops.

We give place to articles from the London
TINES and the Paris -lonaew on the condition
Of the harvests in England, France and Ger
many, in all Of which countries there is q very
troublesome deficiency in the grain crops. No
possible reverses in the Geld-no loss of battles,
of generals and of men--no mere changes Of
cabinets or even of rulers-can for moment
be compared in importance to marked def
cheney in food. y years sacrifices in the Cri-
mea are removed by a single triumph of the
Allied armies and the people of England and
France straightway go into extaces of re-
joicings and devout thanksgivings But how
is the difficulty of short harvest to be re-
moved?
The French government heretofore has re-
sorted to the widest expedients-it has used
Its imperial power to compel distribution Of
what the people had on hand, in something of
the spirit Of agrarianism. They have vainly
mistaken deficiency for distribution. They
have sought to supply their people by the MI
raculcus power Of multiplying rations. Bat
now they come down to the>stubborn laws of
supply and demand: and they announce bold

they possess, England is also in want. The
Toaes frankly avows the belief that they too
must needs enter the markets Of foreign pro-
duction; and they point with al air of exulta-
ton TO the probable surplus Of the United
States as being equal to forty millions Of
bushels-enough to supply both countries.
We took occasion some time ago to refer to
the fact that the Allied armies are now in the
very midst Of the richest grain region on the

ties the present year have been most abundant
Millions of production, fully equal to the ne
cessities Of both France and England, there re-
main in store for want of efficient govern

will be seen to be most extraordinary. Beg
gars in Western Europe, and warriors and die
taiors in the East, cringing beneath the pres
sure, or frightened at the sullen approach of
famine at home, they are boldly proclamlng
the prolongation of the war until Russia shall
submit TO be shorn Of every sign Of national
strength and independence.
What but another wintering in the Crimea
is before the Allies? And now-with another
ard another loan demanded to defray the ex-
penses Of the war-with higher prices Of food
at home-with those faithful Russian generals,
January, February and March, and General
Deficiency, to fight against everywhere, who
will not estimate the enemies Of the Allies as
having feagfully increased, and the chances
just now of lettering their condition as exceed
ingly small ?
1t is at such seasons that we can estimate,
with an approach to accuracy, the advantages
which an agricultural people like Russia have
in a struggle with France and England, in
both of which countries population crowds
heavily on production. The nervous tremor
exhibited by The French government-the tone
of alarm manifested in England-the indirect
connection Of the pressure, as the Times calld
it, with the present state of hostilitles," are
rendered into good strong Saxon shy the ad-
ditional burdens thrown at this time on the
public resources"
There is one very remarkable fruit which
has already ripened under this pressure. 1t
has inaugnrated the true laws of political
economy on the continent of Europe. 1t is
the first great recognition Of free trade as the
normal condition of nations and people, and
as the only rule capable Of afiording perma-
nent relief.

METROPOLITAN TIEAnE-FRsr PERFORMANCE or PoLY-

making collection of Jokes from the Tragedies" de-
clared that after careful examination the tragedy which

Respect for MILE Rachel alone repressed on more
than one occasion last evening, the merrnaent of that
portion Of the audience which not busy reading the
play book. AT the same time tragedy Of Cornelles
contains greater number Of really fine lines and noble
sentiments did he draw any characters with
force and dramatic skin than Pauline Severe and
Polyeucte.
The story of the p'yis simple enough Pauline laugh.
ter Of Felix Roman vernon Of Armenia has loved q
Roman knight severus but has obeyed her father
in discarding him and marrying Poyeucte an Armenian
The latter turns Christian Felix, partly from supers-
ton, partly from a desire to stand well with his home
authorities directs his execution Before dying, Poly
eucte generously endorses his wife her old lover
severus the latter fred by generosity reproaches Fe
x with the death of Poyeucte and is told in reply by
the Governor that he too is Christian. Pauline il
likewise converted in the fifth act; and when the cur
tain falls there are strong hopes of Scverus also.
The points OF the piece are firstly the struggle be-
tween the fanatcism Of Polycucte and the ignorant
bigotry of Pauline and her father and secondly the in
erna combat in Pauline's mind between her half extn-
gushed love for Severe and her duty and affection for
her husband. She is in fact the incarnation Of STERN
unreentng destiny the character Of all Others US is
well KNOWN in which Madame Rachel is supremacy great.
