The Exports of Wheat from England
to France

letter has appeared in the Ecito 4grtcole
from London correspondent of that Journal.
IN which the writer, in speaking of the har-
vests il France and England, makes some
sensible observations Ihe exports of wheat
from the latter TO the former country. He
says that although the English harvest has
been decidedly deficient one. both ir. acre

have been felt at the large qqantitie, pur
cl ased on French account, which they ascriha

by freedom OF trade ia grain, and they Are
convinced that, rs II was not wanted, rear-
ton will, after time, take place. and with il

be the case, the purchases on French account
in the English markets being bona fde made
10 supply an immediate and pressing want.
III consequence of exhausted stock of old
corn. and the most disastrous harvest. so iat
as wheat Is concerned. that France has had
for twenty years. Such is the dlsappont-
ment, too. felt by the English farmers tha,
where they expected three four quarters
per acre, they find. upon thrashing. not more
than two, and the average the writer does not
estimate AT more than three quarters, or "a
bushels, which is onefourth below the ave-
rage OF ordinary years. The deficiency is
not confined to England and France, but ex
tends over Belgium, Holland, Spain, Italy, and
Il Suuu part oi the Nortn OF Europe ef
In consequence of the erroneous idea that the
wheat purchased on French account is a spec
ulation, and that a few weeks will see i.
brought back again, the English market re-
mains almost stationary. and the greatest SUI
pineness is eviuced by the British niilers re-
garding the necessity of getting into stock.
In the meanwhile, all the best wheats. both
foreign and English, are disa ppearing: and.
what IS worse, there Is no prospect of our be-
ing able IN replace them, the French buyers
being constantly ahead of the English in
competing with them In foreign markets
The reduction in the rate of discount by
the Bank of Englaud will have a beneficial
e fleet upon trade generally, and the corn
trade IN particular, which Is less likely to be
affected by the general dullness Than any 9th
er. In France this is the case TO an unusna!
extent. tor while the transactions in grain are
large beyond recent precedent. the discounts
OF the Bank of France have fallen off in one
month from 81 To 500 million francs II Is
true, the discount rate of the Bank is higher
than that Of the private bankers and the di-
rec'ors of the former are also more scrupulons
than the latter still. the large decrease can
only be accounted for by the indisposition of
the merchants 10 speculate or make extensive
purchases. without uu immediate or near
prospect of a return.

The Grain Deficiency in Europe.

The grain deficiency in Europe is no doubt
very large. Our farmers should understand
tins Tor 1t Is matter Of national as well rs
sectional and individual importance for them
to get as much for their wheat and corn as
they should, from the legil mate reciprocal
action of demand and supply. The following
Is from the New York World:
Ater careful collation. Of statements from
various regions, and from sources 50 diverse
that concurrence among them Is evidence con-
cluslve-we repeat that the deficiency of the
French wheat crop below the usual average
requires supply of about eighty millions of
bushels from other countries-ai.d that the
British deficit, usually about forty millions of
bushels. Is increased this year bv between
twenty and thirty millions of bushels-the
wants of France and Britain thus Jointly
amounting to about one hundred aud fifty
millions of bushels.
In addition to Fran ce. the other southern
countries of Europe, Protugal Spain, Italy.
&C. arc, by extraordinary coincidence, in Ill
fortune, more or less deficient in wheat-de-
pendent on other countries for suppl ying the
deficiency even the Pope, like tie French
Emperor, throwing open ports to the free en-

experienced officers.
The case is entirely changed, however, if
the troops can be placed behind breast

Bunker hill our troops were perfectly steady
until the British got inside the lines, but then
they ran as fast as their legs could carry
them, IN spite OF all the endeavors of the Off

wasting great many oathS in the effort
No braver commander ever lived than Gen.
jackson, and in his dispatches before the bat
tie OF New Orleans he says distinctly that he
shall not suffer his soldiers to fight until he
can place them behind intreuchments.
The principal objection brought against
volunteers Is, that they are more subject to
pn'a'cs than veteran troops, and especially that
when panic commences II is more apt to
spread to the whole army. This danger Is
sufficiently great III the oldest and best dis
clplaed armies. As general rule, when the
lines are once broken the whole army takes
10 flight IN utter confusion. The cases are
rare IN which any portion of tie army has
resisted the contaginn Of a panic occurring in
another portion. The conduct of the Imperi-

ccptlons. and that conduct will never be men
