The Gardner Gold Co. have received from their
mine an ingot of gold weighing $50 dwts. the product

the new machinery.
A leading house in Cincinnati Messrs. Gilmore &
Brotherton, Issued circular sometime since to their
West.rn correspondents, asking for information upon
the subject of the crops The result has been the fol-
lowing highly favorable report:
ain reply 70 circular of inquiry issued three
weeks since TO our Western correspondents IN regard
10 the CROPS we have two hundred letters from
usrts o have taken paiLs to Inform themselves on
tie subject, and whose judgment can be relied on.
There is n small "trip OF country IN Cenra lnoiana
and Northern Ohio where the late trosts aud heavy
rains did some damage TO the Wheat and Corn but
from all other parts Of the West we have the most
favorable r.poris With the single exception OF beel

Our Cotton market is inactive, sellers being unwil-

stufls, although little irmer to-day, have down

considerable quantities. Flour is about 62ic. =

Com beire a later crop is comparatively steady
The export movement III Whest has co n
menced several freight engagements having been
made within day or two. As the receipts increase
the outward movement will be large. We learn from
parties connected with the foreign trade, th 1t very
large preparations have been made by means Of cred
its spon European Banking Houses for the purchase
of Brea istus and Provisions during the coming sea
son. If OR markets GO not men.aln too high figure,
England and the Continent will take all our surplus Of
BIeadsuhs at fair prices. The arrangements made
Tor purchasing we are told are larger than ever be-
fore. The shipments of Flour and Wheat to Great
Britain and Ireland thus far this Since Sept
1854 are very uncomfortable compared with the pre-
yous ye,r having been only 100000 bbls. Flour
against l. 500 900, and 100000 busb Whest against
5.s46, OOO Corn shows an increase Of about 100000
bush during the same period. The prospects now
are, however, that shipments OF all descriptions OF
Breadstuffs will be largely increased. The arrivals

We noticed few days since the negotiation Of
s6Oo 600 Of Second Mortgage Bonds of the Lake Erie
Wabash and st. Louis Railroad Company, giving
them the means TO complete their Road to the State
line where il connects with 500 miles of railroad run
ming TO st. Louis, Cairo, &c. The Report recently
published by the Company gives the following Stats
tics bearing on the future business Of this Road;
The Toledo and Illinois, and the Lake Erie Wabash
and ST. Louis Railroads traverse four counties IN ONO
and nine in Indiana and pass through the shire towns
Of all those counties excep. two and many Others Of
considerable population and wealth all loo lted in the
rich valleys Of the Maumee and Watash Rivers, aud
commanding the trade and business of large adjacent
country.
As on e mode of estimating the probable value and
amount Of business that will brought 10 our line Of
road from the country adjacent thereto, II may be
proper TO compare the population, productions, &c
Of the country tributary 10 il with the population and
productions ON the lice OF the Southern Michigan and
Northern Indiana Railroad. That Road was opened
in ls5l-2 and has been successful beyond the most
sanguine expectations of its original projectors and
may be considered in value one of the first West
ern Roads. Is buiiness has increased rapidly that
il has been difficult TO find equipment and accommoda
tons corresponding 10 the wants of the community
We have added TO Il statement OF the kind in
regard 70 the Michigan Central Railroai-all compiled
