Steamship Line from Philadelphia to

The merchants of Philadelphia are making
new effort to secure the establishment of a lin
OF steamships to ply between that port and Lis
erpool. A meeting was recently held at tn
Corn Exchange to hear the report of commit

some important facts which must rather startl
The stald merchants of the City of Brotherl,
Love. Philadelphia, with all the elements fo
a successful foreign commerce, has become
from neglect to employ steam vessels, in q
great measure vassal of New York and Bos

importers to the extent of many millions and
'he direct patron of their ocean Steamers
Hence year by year her sailing vessels are
crowded out of the field of international com.

The Wharf.-The Crops.

Nothing at present is of more immediate in
terest and Importance to this country than the
prospect of the crops for the coming season. -
Our information on the subject from Middle
and Western States is contradictory, but, on
the whole, is encouraging. The growing whea,
has been, in some Places injured By its insect
enemies, and has yet other huzards to encount-
er. But from all quarters, and especially from
the northwest, we learn that preparations have
been made for larger crops Of corn than were
ever before produced. The immigration into
the West Is timely, lnasmuch as labor will be
in demand for the harvest. But with what sur
prise will the immigrants from ireland and
germany, before their arrival in the home of
promise, Ind Indian corn dollar busheI and
wheal flour nine dollars barrel, and cattle dy

tories.
Speculation will no doubt for some months
augment the price of breadstuffs and provisions.
but is is not at all probable that any actual ex.
pcrtatlon of those articles can be proitaby
made to Europe, even al the prices now pre-
Vaiing in this country.
The war will probably be too brief in dura.
ton to produce scarcity of provisions abroad,
and the crops in England aud Ireland never
promised better than at present. Itnow begins
to be seen that the war will probably. be con.
lined to Italy as its theatre. Russia, England,
Prussia and other powers will no doubt stand
aloof and decline partici patton in the contest
between Austria and her Gallo Italian antago.
nlsts.
With the great facilities which modern i'm
proVements IN the art Of destructveness will
afford the belligerents, it may be expected that
they will exhaust or destroy each other IN
single campaign. A few hundred thousand men
on either side will be placed hOrS du combat,
and then England and Russia may, with better
success, propose peace congress, or offer me-
diation.
1t is noticed as a fact significant of the dis
position of the people of England in regard to
the war that, at the Parliamentary election,
there was an absolute clamor, on the part both
of electors and candidates, wings and tories, in
favor of neutrality upon the Italian quarrel
The war movements have had different effect
upon the people of France. whose military en-.
thusIasm appears to have been strongly excited.

Affairs in Mexico.

The latest advices from Mexico are favorable
to the prospects Of the Juarez Government
The Church party had been overthrown in all
quarters Of the Republic except three or four
cities, Including the Capital. 1t was much
distressed for want Of funds. Mramou had
threatened to confsclte the church property if
his demands were not complied with, and the
priests were making great exertions TO procure
a loan from the representatives of European
capitalists The French and English Minis
ters continued to sympathlse very decidedly
with the Church party, but they were rendered
comparatively Powcrless, by the refusal of the
commanders Of the French and English fleets
to comply with their requests to lombard Vera
Cruz. 1t is rumored that the Liberal forces
will soon make another attack upon the Capital,
but if they have not secured better General Is
than those who have heretofore commanded
them, there is little prospect of their triumph.
