THE THIRD MAINE.-The term of service
OF this gallant regiment expired on Saturday

return to their homes. This regiment left Au-
gusta on the 18th of June, 1861, under the COM

three years Of arduous and perilous service 1t

No regiment has earned for itself more hon
orable record and we trust generous recep-
ton will be given to the handful of surviving
heroes on their arrival home.

THE CRoPs IN ENGLASD.-The Mark Lane
Express OF the 10th ult. says Although the
past week commenced cold and rainy, and an
excess Of wet was beginning TO be feared,
more especially for the wheat, the latter half
OF it brought genial temperature and almost
summer itself. The extent OF the beneht to
the grass lands is incalculable, the soil having
been previously warmed by sunshine. and
there is every promise of an abundant hay
crop. The spring corn has also completely
changed in appearance, and all vegetation has
made rapid strides. Wheat will now want
but little rain before coming into bloom, its
most critical period. While yet the question
OF the suspension Of hostiities was in doubt,
prices were certainly tending upwards, in
GLIDING the London market; but since the
more pacific policy has prevailed in Confer
ence, and the blockade OF the German ports
has terminated, the wheat trade has relapsed
into eullness and become almost suspended.

Gan extraordinary revolution is rapidly pro-

understood the immense nature Of Egypt, and
is eager to develop her yet budding resources.
Every steamer is pouring new population
and golden stream on her shores. Energy
and capital are taking possession of the land,
and urging it forward in the path OF civilixa-
ton and wealth. Not only are the cities OF
Alexandra and Cairo receiving so great an
influx of inhabitants that, although whole
quarters are rising on every side, house room
is still insufficient, and rents are always in
creasing, but the inland towns and villages
are overrun, and factories, with high chin
neys and long lines of black smoke, cut the
clear sky of our fat landscape through the
