THE FOURTH OF July CELEBRATED BY
MEXICAN AUTHoRITIEs.-A correspondent of
the New Orleans Picayune, writing from Tam
pico, says:
On the 4th inst, a request was conveyed to
the United States Consul of this port, from
his Excellency, the Governor, that he would
unfuri his Consular flag, in order that the aU-
thorities here should have the opportunity to
participate in the celebration of the anniver-
sary of the independence OF their great sister
republic. That request was promptly COM
piled with by Mr.. Chase, and the moment the
flag of the United States was displayed over
his house, every public edifice in the city was
decorated with the national flag Of the Mexi-
can republic, where they remained through
out the day, to the grateful and admiring gaze
of the American and Mexican citizens. Pre-
yiously to the lowering of the American flag,
when near sunset, it was honored with a sa-
Lutte of twenty lone guns! In the evening his
Exceilency, the Governor, visited the United
States Consul, and gave an appropriate brindi.
on the occasion OF the day they were common

FROM UTAH.-The prospects of the coming
harvest in Utah are very gloomy. The Desc
ret News of June %, says that the reports
from nearly every county and settlement are
far from fiattering, and in many locations the
wheat crop will be almost an entire failure.
sThere was comparatively little Fall wheat
sown. and much of that was killed by the se-
we're winter. or so injured that it Will not be
worth harvesting. The Spring. wheat was
sowed so late that much of 1t will not mature,
and the remainder will produce not more6than
half an average crop. Moreover, the grass
hoppers and crickets are making sad havoc IN
many localities, and some fields have been en-
lirely destroyed. The impression seems y pe
that there will be a scarcity OF grain next
winter. On Sunday, the a6th, Elder Orson
Hyde spoke of the saving policy OF Joseph IA
storing up the grain Of Egypt against the
seven years Of famine, and argued thaf lbas-
