SHORT CROPS IN EHGLAyD.-In the British
Parliament on the 2Sth ult., Mr. Caird calleo
attention to the serious deficiency of last har
vest, and the consequent necessity for in.
creased economy in the public expenditure.
He described the failure as having extended
to potatoes as well as the cereal crops. and
the prospects of the future harvest as not
much better; with the best weather. not
more than an average crop could be expected
He says:
"He found that whilst last year, in the six
months ending February, we imported from
the United States 1000 quarters of corn.
amounting TO f5lS 900, in the corresponding
months last season we imported Piss, 900
quarters, at a cost of t6, 900, or nearly
twenty times as much. From Russia and
Prussia we had also imported much greater
quantities, and from France we had imported
nearly six times as much grain. The total in. =.
crease OF imported grain might be estimated
at upwards of $4,000, as compared with the
six months ending February, 1850. This
would plainly show the cause of the pressure
which was at present felt in mercantile cir
cles but, at any rate, there was the satisfac-
ton ofknowing that there would be no gem
eral deficiency, and there was also reason to
hope that this season OF difficulty would soon
