The EUROPEAN HARvEsr.--The accounts re-
ceived from Europe may be considered decisive
in regard to thu prospects of the grain harvest
in England aud France.
In Ireland, on account of heavy rains. the
crop prospects were rot so good. A Dublin
letter dated on the 10Th says that the potato
blight is king progress, and on the wohle
the crops are regarded as in a critical state.
In France the wheat crop has failed to meet
expectations The Paris correspondent of the
London Times saws now that the harvest is
nearly gathered, its deficiency Is universally
admitted. While the crops are good in some
of the northern and sou IN western depLrtme nts,
other districts have suffered from rust, and the
"white worm, "a lsng, thick, yel!oTlsh insect,
bUrying ilse'f in the ground,-has COMMITTED
great ravagcs. The potato crop was also en-.
dangeTed from disease, which had appeared in
SONS places As might be expected move
ment of grain from England has commenced.
The London Times says: Several vessels
have been loadiug with wheat for France Gu.
ring the past week, the reports received with
regard to the French harvest inducing the con-
clusion that our neighbors will thIs year have
20 resort TO large impotiations of grain" II
