.dhe steamer Asia arrived at New York yester-
! ds morning, with Liverpool dates to Saturday,
tk<6th instant, three days later than by the
At ,ntic.
Te received our files by this arrival last even.
in Commercially, the news is important; but
Pc ideally, it is of no great moment. We make
uD yhe following summary:
| During the week of the sailing of the Asia.
tlsyhad in England for the most part very fine
weather, which had depressing effect upon
tbSpbreadstuf markets throughout the country.
| England.-The Royal British Joint Stock
Ba&k of London has failed. They have done a
larg business, having branches in other places.
The company numbers three hundred stockhold-
ers all Individually liable to the extent of their
means and as the assets are very unsatisfac-
tory, the failure will be the total ruin of all con-
| cerned.
| The London Times says, that though the har.
vest has been abundant, there is no prospect of
prices receding to point injurious to agricultu-
raj interests. From the continent, the harvest
accounts are still more favorable.
The American ships Ocean Home and the
Cherubm came in collision on Friday morn
ing, off the Lizard The former sank in twenty
minutes taking down seventy-seven passengers
She was from Rotterdam, bound to New York
with emigrants. The captain of the Ocean
Home, with twenty of the passengers and crew,
landed at Plymouth. The Cherubim was but
slightly damaged.
| Mr.. Roebuck NJ P, has been ionizing at
Sheffield. His friends and constituents have
| just presented him with substantial testimo
nial, valued at FL 400.
Eeland.-The following is extracted from the
/ nnflt l. L. H. ri ~
| and applies to the state and prospects of the
harvest In the northwestern counties of Ireland
generally
the harvest is now sufficiently advanced to
give pretty correct notion of the produce of
| the cereal crops. Wheat will be sadly deficient
In the northern counties. The nearer it ap-
preached to maturity, the more apparent became
the blighting effects which the moist atmos
phere of the past summer had upon it. 1t may
be safely stated that the 80, 900 additional acres
which his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant re-
Gently stated to be under this crop in Ireland
as compared with last year, will not bring up
the produce of wheat to the superabun-
dance of that season. The few samples which
have appeared in the markets look very i'll, and
the crop is universally spoken Of as wanting a
third OF an average yield.
Oats, on the other hand, were never better,
both in Quantity and quality; and from the
high price which they command and the fact
that this is the staple grain crop in Ulster, the
farmers WILL in all probability, have another
profitable season from their cornfelds. Potatoes
will fall very short of last years produce. The
growth has ceased at too early stage, 80 that,
even taking it for granted that those now in the
ground will keep good, which is still very doubt
full, we should want third or fourth of last
years quantity. There were however more
| n0tQtnaa prndunod in lQEE IN tba Tro
land than were required for the legitimate use to
which they are usually applied; and large guam
titles were consumed by the cattle in spring
of this year."
The managing committee are making ener-
getic exertions to render the Dublin Crimean
banquet worthy of the occasion. Circulars have
been dispatched to almost every influential per-
son in Ireland, with view of obtaining sup
port and pecuniary assistance. There are, it
is calculated, about 1000 soldiers on the Irish
establishment, In possession of the Crimean
medal.
The Limerick Chronicle announces the death
by drowning of Mr.. James Barry of Rockfeld,
a magistrate of the county, and one of the larg-
est land agents in the south of Ireland.
Ff0nce.-The cashier of the Northern Rail-
road of France has absconded, being default,
| er to the amount of one million francs.
1t is rumored that several officers of the army
have been arrested on suspicion of being con-
cerned in plot for the restoration of the Or
leans family
Spain.-The Cholera has disappeared from
Madrid, and but few cases remained in other
parts of the country.
The Cortes had been dissolved by Royal
decree, which was well received by the people.
Six OF the Madrid newspapers had been seized
| by the Government.
Ministers have been appointed to Chill, Costa
Rica, and Ecuador, but the Government does
not intend to appoint new minister to Mexi-
| co, and, 1t was reported, intends recalling the
Ministers from Berlin and Washington
Switzerland. - An instruction had taken
place in the canton of Neufchatel. The Royal
lists, or Prussian party, seized Chateau, arrested
| the Councillor of State, and hoisted the Prussian
| flag. The Federal party subsequently, retook
| the town, and arrested Count Pourtalis, the in
surgent leader. Twelve of the Prussian party
| were killed.
| HGty.-Italian affairs are still unsettled. The
Paris correspondent of the Times saws that
| certain second note has been addressed by Ma
pies to France and England, of more concil
iatory nature.
The Sandman army is to be increased
Count Oarons has addressed note to the Sar
dinian Ministers of foreign Courts, declaring that

| q1ence of the policy of Austria; and intimates,
