Our Merchants arc now receiving their
new goods by the car load, and, as natural
consequence, are selling them by the dozen
wagon loads. AT any hour Of the day
scores Of teams freighted and freighting

and in every byway Of the City, while the
consequent hurrying to and fro among our

The Echo Agricole gives the following
short summary of the accounts received from
the countries in the South of Europe, where
the harvest is terminated
I'm Italy is only in the North that the
crop fwheat is satisfactory; in Lombardy
it IS middling, and in the provinces of No
dena, Parma and Bologne indifferent. In
Venetia the results differ in various local..
ties; at Naples the Crop viii be less than
first expected. In Spain the harvest in the
two CASTLES and La Mancha is satisfactory;
but in Audalusia the crop has not cqualed
expectation. Accounts from Odessa and the
whole Polish provinces, give reason to hope
that the crop Of wheat will be excellent.
