LONDON. July 2s. 1860.

-.t LONDON, July 2s, 1860. e
I returned from ten days trip on the Con-
tinent last evening. You are doubtless well
advised of the foreign markets by each steam
er. Ny personal observation is this: In
France the wheat cropis not as good as usual
Along the Rhine, in Holland, Prussia and
Germany, it is very good-thousands of acres
of wheat in fine condition, and all yellow and
in the midst Of harvest The grain crop in
Russia is very large and fine and also good
on the Danube. In England it is decidedly
bad. The cold wet weather still continues
and poor prospects for their harvest. They
will surely want our grain and bread to a
certain extent We must not, however, cal
culate on famine prices. The markets are
firm, though the arrivals from abroad are
large.
Some 600 cargoes of grain have arrived
along the coast within the last ten days. At
Cork my correspondents write me that 60 car
goes of Indian corn arrived there last week
from the Mediterranean. Sales made at S7
to Fl los. per ton Of 2,24O fbs.-about zoe.
per bushel. Corn mixed like ours is worth
here to-day 30s. to 3Os. Cd. per or. of 4s0 lbs.
about 80 cents. do not think the mar
kets will recede, and prices will doubtless re-
main firm, without much advance; it will
not do to operate expecting this. There is
an active demand for ships, and freights will
be good from the Danube all winter. I am
getting tired of Liverpool trade; the expenses
and delay and markets are all against us. I
have taken salt and iron back; both vessels
are on the ocean, and hope will arrive safe
ly and in better time than coming out.
l am heartily glad to hear of good har-
vest. I believe if it had again failed should
have stayed away. I write these few hasty
lines for the steamer for this afternoon. 60

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-lt was stated in
yesterdays dispatch, that a motion was made
in executive session OF the Senate t. strike
from the treaty between the United States
and Spain, for the settlement Of claims, the
clause to pay for the Armstad negroes, and
that while it vas not believed the motion
could prevail, its retention would leopard, If
not entirely defeat, its ratification. This pre-
dction was realized to-day. The motion 10

Mr.. Sumner: but was disagreed to, and on
the question OF ratification, "A voted III the

ed to receive his friends, quite humber Of

Committee were welcomed in the most hear.
ty manner. Each Of the members having
been introduced to the President, who had
warm grasp Of the hand and word of kind
ness for every one, Mr.. Wright addressed him
on behalf OF the Committee, expressing the
pleasure they felt in having this opportuni-
ty of mantesting their respect for his person
al character and public services.
The President replied with his customary
promptness and felicity. lie thanked the
Committee for the honor OF this visit: he felt
it to be Il great honor, and the more sensIbly
on account of the very complimentary man
ner in which the Chairman had been pleased
to express the good feeling Of the Commit
tee. After abiding briefly TO the territorial
question which has occupied 50 large Il share
OF public attention. the President expressed
his most hearty appreciation of the principles
which had been proclaimed and the nominal
tons which had been made by the National
Democratic Convention.
\ very pleasant informal conversation be-
tween the President and the different mem
bers of the committee followed: in the course
of which Mr.. Buchanan s cordiality ADD ear
nestness in the cause impressed every one
present Upon their taking leave, the veneer
able Chief Magistrate said: God bless you,
gentlemen, one and all. You go home to
your different States: and there | am sure
you will do your whole duty: and feryeatly
trust that you may be successful"
One of the committee turned and said, with
emotion, Think not, sir, that in going eager
ly into the stuggle to secure the ascendency
of our candidates, we shall ever cherish the
less veneration and devotion for the setting
sun"
The whole interview was agreeable, and we
feel confident that every member Of the com
mittec left the presence of President with
the determination to do his dcrior in the great
battle that is coming on for the Constitution,
the Union, and the equality ofthe States under
the banners OF Breckenridge and Lane

HUMoRs OF PoLITIcs.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Post gives
the humor of the talk at Washington on the
day after the adjournment of the double
headed Convention:
Every hotel in town was crammed to its
utmost capacity, and the hubbub and gener-
excitement were terrible. In one crowd [
noticed the mammoth form of Humphrey
Marshall of Kentucky, who shouted to his
Democratic friends: "Well gentlemen, | give
you credit for one thing-you have put be-
fore the people almost every man of promin-
ence in your partyw Stewart Of MARYLAND,
was inclined to seek little comfort, if pos
sible, from the unhappy state of things and
remarked: "Well, all we have to do is for
Douglas to get all the States be can North,
and Breckenridge all he can in the South,
and then we can have union after election
Union a ler the contest is ended, when
we can't unite before election" shouted
stalwart Southerner, that's prepcsterous.n
Marshall came up for his hat Said he,
"Iou remind me, Stewart, Of campaign life
in Mexico. After one of our battles and
when we broke up our camp to advance still
further into the enemy's country, the Next
up what we left even kernels of corn Now,
it seems to me, you are picking up the very
smallest kernels of comfort.
The Democrats of all stripes are in a bad
humor, and especially 50 the Douglas men.
The Seceders' nomination plaques them vast
ly, they we'll know the President, and his
army of Office holders, will put Breckin-
ridge and Lane ticket into every Free State
while it will carry the most Of the Southern
States easily enough--all that Bell dosen't."
The correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune does justice, after this fashion to one of
the most wearisome talking men" Of the
Conventions
One Of the most wearison.e things in the
Convention, after the raising Of points of or
der and the desultory discussion of small
questions, was the endless stream of stump
oratory. And here must transtix some Of
the nuisances of the enemy in that particu-
lar line. know it is none of my business,
but have revenges to take for being tortur-
ed where | could not defend myself First
and foremost, there is John Cochrane Talk
he would, and talk he will, III season and out
of season. He is bad enough in Congress.
but he is worse in Convention. lie has a
good elocution, liberal flow of words and
an oratoric manner. And dosen't he love
the sound of his own voice! OF course, ne Is
a bachelor. The experiences of married life
have evidently yet have chastened his
verbal expressions. If he had ever felt such
sufferings as he inficts, would he, could he
infict them? When he could do nothing
else he would badger the presiding officer on
points of order, and TO show how smart he
was, he would make motions on which TO hang
an instructive elucidatory harangue, nom-
nally for the Presidents information, but
really for his own glory, and then withdraw
them. We are constrained to say that Mr.
Cochrane proved himself a horrid bore.
