SPECULATION IN WEgAT.-Great competi-
tion, the New York Courier says, exists in
that city, in buying up tho new crop of
Southern wheat, which has resulted in prices
being paid higher in proportion than present
prices Of flour, and as the general expectation
on Change is, that -four must decline when
the new crop begins 10 come in, this move-
ment excites much comment, for il is felt that
no effort OF spectators can sustain prices liz
the absence of foreign demand and with a
full crop. The abundance Of the present
season cannot be controlled by spectators,
no matter how much they may be favored by
tho paper credit system.

EsGLAND.--A French journal, the Revue
des Deux Mondes acknowledges the weight
and influence of the Anglo.Saxon race upon
the affairs of the world, and the moral and
physical power of England. at is" says the
Revue, "England, who at this day prevents
nations from falling upon and devourng one
another, and who maintains the equilibrium
OF the continent, by the fear of having to
measure strength with SO redoubtable an adj
yersary. Thus her very egotsm is useful,
for it protects our repose. 1t is she that
crosses the projects Of Oriental Europe, and
says TO the two Sclavi races, Thus far shall
ye go, and no further What a destiny -
Her form and power are absolutely necessary
to the moral order of the world. Many ma
tions of apparently more Importance might
disappear, and which seem 10 be more imme.
dately interested by the maintenance of
modern civilization, but there is not one whose
death would leave such terrible results us that
of the solitary, the egotstical, and indepen-
dent England"
