CROPS in EUROPE.

| The following is from London letter
dated 23d June:
The terrible stormy weather and alnos
Iincessant rains for the last six weeks bic
flair to bring on both famine and a finan
Icial crisis. The meadows and pastures are
nearly all flooded with water, the young
lturnip crop--one Of the most important tc
the farmer and stock raiser-is almost al
destroyed, grain is nearly drowned out il
all the flat country, meadows that ought tc
be fit for thescythe look more like harborS
flor Great Eastern steamers-and, in short
there is great and well founded concern fol
a future supply Of food. We feel it sensi-
bly, already, for almost every sort Of butchers
meat is now not less than shilling GIVEN
ty-four cents) a pound. Fish are by no
means plentiful--salmon eighteen pence a
lpound-and the price Of bread greatly on
the increase. Certainly we have not very
agreeable prospect ahead, particularly as
Iesery week is expected to plunge Europe
into devastating war.
PARIS, JUNE 81, 1860.
THE POPE SOLICITING AID FROM NAPOLEON
III--REPLy OF THE EMPEROR GARIBAL-
DI PREPARING TO INVADE NAPLES, ETC.
have just ascertained that the follow
ling important event has occurred. The
Pope short time since made an appeal to
the Emperor Napoleon, asking His Maies-
! TVS aid in case Of revolt of any Of his Holi-
nesss subjects, or the invasion Of the Pa
Ipal dominions by Garibaldi or by the Sar-
Edinian troops. The answer made to this
direct appeal for succor was as follows:
The Emperor recalled to the mind of Pious
*. that for many months, and at many
different periods, he Napoleon III.) adj
yised most strenuously that immediate re-
forms be granted in the Papal dominions,
and that cessation Of foreign erilistments
should at once be ordered No attention
was paid to these admonitions and advices,
and nqpg the R ~ Can as s this He will
guarantee to his Holiness the possession Of
Rome, and for that purpose he will allow
his troops to remain in that city until fur
Their orders. 1t had been intended to with |
draw them next month, but now the orders
to that effect are countermanded. You
will see by Tire r0ay ssssSs-~e sslas-.s4ss.s.-
that France anticipates the total freedom OF
Italy. | am assured that Garibaldi isl
making active preparations TO invade the
inland, and that he will march for Naples.
The report that some Of his followers had
attacked Calabria is Incorrect As yet no
such event has taken place, although it has
been announced by the telegraph. In Al
few days, however, we shall hear Of three
simultaneous attacks, all in different places,
and calculated to distract the attention of
the Neapolitan commanders, as well as to-
separate their forces. AS I asserted at
4srSt. the present movement viii end only
when the whole Of Italy is free.
Garibaldi is the fanaticism of all Europe.
His name is on every ones LIP from NOR
ming till night, and is always mentioned
with respect and commentator.
Certainly this car paign of Garbaldi's is
the most extraordinary ever recorded in his
tory. And this great hero is the little man
that used to sell cigars and dip candles tol
earn an honest living wnen he was a poor
exile in New York.
