Here is a decrease in the wheat product Of New
England of 10 per cent, the result, in chief part,
of the decrease of her agricultural population.
Thus the 2S, 600, 900 bushels of surplus wheat
in the West, and the three or four millions which
Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia will be able
to spare over and above their wants, present no
very great terrOrs to the holders of the article for
sale. Assuming the export of $50, or &c, OOO 900
bushels, the measure of prices-any excess of
our surplus beyond that export tending to depress
prices below any deficiency of surplus below 26,
OOO 900 for export tending to augment prices above,
the ruling figures for last year--we, for one, are
obliged to conclude, if the data furnished by the
Cincinnati Gazette are -cliabe, that the chances of
lower prices of wheat for 1857 than for 1856 are
by no means formidable.
1t only remains to consider whether the foreign
demand for the crop of 1857 will be as great it
was for that of 1856, which, as we have seen, was
%, 7OS, oO7 bushels If We confne our regards to
Europe alone, there might be some reason to doubt
whether the demand would be as great; but we
are inclined to think that whatever falling off there
may be in the European demand will be much more
than compensated by the increased demand IN
other quarters of the world. The immense move
ment OF troops from Great Britain to India and
China must very sensibly affect the breadstuffs
markets. while the revolutions ~ condition of those
densely pOpulous countries must produce a very
considerable demand from the outside for account
of the European residents and the wealthy classes
of native people living along the seaboard.
We have regarded it as proper to pre-
sent these views to farmers who read the
PATRIOT that they may make up an intelli-
gent opinion as to the prospect of a Sc
rious decline in the price, and continued
low prices thereafter, of wheat. Within
the past week prices of Southern wheat
have given away l6c. per bushel in New
York, and the latest advices from Liver
pool announce a decline there in both
wheat and -four, caused by the certainty of
heavy crops in Great Britain. Our farm
ing friends must connect all these facts to-
gether, and draw their own conclusions, as
to future prices.

FREE LOVE" AFFAIR.-The following bit of
scandal is told by the New York correspondent Of
the Charleston Egsning NsUs, in bis letter of the
9th of July:
Bennett, of the Herald, is at Thompson's Pavil-
ion, on the Shrewsbury river, Sandy Hook,
where an interesting took place yesterday, in
which of the corps of the Tribune played con-
spicuoUs part. 1t seems that the philosophical gen.
tleman with long beard and a very broad bFm-
med hat, went down on Saturday for a days shoot
ing leaving his wife at home. But the lady getting
lonesome, and perhaps xious about her lege lord
took tue boat from New York on Sunday morning,
and in due time arrived at the Pavilion, where, on
inquiry, she found that her husband was quite WELL
but was not in his room, as he had gone off on
sailing party " with his wife" with his wife p
exclaimed the indignant lady, "why, how can that
be! l am his Wife!' "Well madame, exclaimed
the polite clerk. 81 know nothing about il, further
than the fact that the gentleman came here Sat-
urday night with very pretty lady, registered his
name, and was provided with a room, which they
occupied last night"
The lady made no reply, bat walked down to the
landing, where she waited until the sailing party
came IN, when a scene ensued which much
enjoyed by the spectators, but which could hardly
have been pleasant for the Tribune gentleman and
the lady" he had been sailing with. How the
matter has been arranged, l do not know, but the
wife returned TO the city the next boat, leaving
her Grant spouse to enjoy, in company with bis
| LADY the grins and sneers of every body who knew
the true state of the case As Free Love" ia one
OF the isms OF the Tribune, suppose it will be
made satisfactory In she end to all parties con-
cerned.

that our expectations Of wheat to all countries du-
ring recent years has amounted to about that figure,
the amount for the fiscal year ending 3oth June,
1856, having been, -four being reduced to equiva-
lent bushels of wheat % 7Os, oO7 busheIs of which
17250,o00 went to Europe, and 8, 800, 600 bushels
TO other countries.
We think, for one, that tie surplus Of wheat IN
the great West this year is not under estimated BY
the Cincinnati Gazette, at IS o0O, 600 bushels In
the FIRST place, the crop is Certainly OF more than
an average one, an immense breadth Of the winter
wheat that was sown having persisted BY the sever
ity OF the winter, beyond redemption by the genial
weather that set in after the first of May. The tide
of immigration to the West during the winter and
spring has been unprecedented, not merely of for
eigners, but of citizens OF the Eastern States. Thus
the number of extraordinary consumers in the West
Is prodigous and very large supplies of all kinds
OF grain will have to be sent TO Nebraska Kansas
aud parts Of Mimi esota and Iowa during the year
Tor the new settlers and squatters.
In the Eastern and Middle States, too, the per
manent annual demand Tor consumption is large,
and is growing apace. The town populations are
augmenting with enormous rapidity, and the rural
populations everywhere standing still. Take for
instance the case of Massachusetts. In the coun-
ties in which the population is rural and pr0du-
GERS of provisions, it increased from 1850 to 1855
less than one per cent year while in those in
which the population is chiefly employed in manu-
features or live in towns and Of pro-
duce, it increased 20 per cent.

OF this great cereal crop fully one-half goes into
surplus, partly in bulk partly pork, lard Whis-
ky, cattle. There will be a greater surplus in 1857
than in 1850, by full 60, 600, 600 bushels. There

If these estimates Of the crops of the West be

that the prices of grain cannot fall very materially
below tbs average figures they have ruled at during
the last year. Comparatively little of the Indian
corn OF the West will come 20 the seaboard in ihe
form OF grain. Ten or twenty millions will be the
