PREDICTED FAMINE IN EUROPE

PREDICTED FAMINE IN EUROPE -
sThe New York World is collatirg
facts to show that a great famine in
aEuropc is at hand; and the question
ais then asked, whence are to come
athe supplies to meet the pressing de-
snand for breadstuls that will be
made upon US Of the United States?
3The editor says:
The wheat crop of Great Britain in
31S66, like that in 1865, was short, and
according to the latest calculation,
s64, 600, 900 bushels will have to be
simported to supply the average con-
sumption until the harvest Of 1867.
aThis would naturally come from the
aContinent and the United States; but
afrom the latter little can be expected,
save from California, and of the
] swhole Continent none has any sur
splus but Russia The stock of wheat
nov in store in the principal markets
Gin this country is, iii round numbers,
"A, 600, 900 bushels, which is about
I Stwo thirds of the quantity in store at
llilo l1u1c ltloo " eill, anu IL IS lOJ iCcll-
smulating. 1t is further estimated
athat the total supply of wheat at the
sgrain markets OF the world taking
Sinto account the reduced quantity
sremaining from 1862 and the short
scrop of 1860 is but two thirds OF the
average supply of previous years. As
Regards other grains, the United
Estates can furnish for expectation Il
moderate quantity Of corn, rye and
Goats, and at moderate prices; and as
s a3an index of the stock OF grain now il
store, we append table of the stock
lin this market on Saturday last
1850, 600 barrels flour; 100000 bu-
sshels wheat; 100000 bushels corn
~, 10000 bushels oats; 100000 bu
3shels rye; 100000 bushels barley.
8Total bushels grain, 100000.
q AS before limited, it is mainly to
&Russia and California that Europe
&must look for relief, and, were the
former to withhold supplies, gene
Rral famine would be the result.

Z The IMPEACHMENT The New York
1 Herald, of Tuesday, is urgent on the
Impeachment question. In an arti-
{ scle on the subject, it says:
The impeachment, then, hangs fire.
sTemporizing has interviewed. The
aPresbyterians have bafiied the indie
Apendents Of Congress, and a weaker
Sman than Cromwell may manage
athem. The two houses are all adrift.
sEvery would-be leader has his scheme
sof reconstruction, and there is no
Aleader among them at all. Upon the
ltarlff question, and upon the money
squestion, as upon the Southern ques-
ton, there are discords and divisions
IN the Republican camp, all working
ito the advantage of Nh Johnson.
HGlve him an armistice of month or
1.-TWO, or 4 week or two, and he may
be more successful than was Santa
sAnna, through the same device, with
SGeneral Scott. The crisis which is
snow upon Congress demands bold
measures; and that which is boldest
land most comprehensive, authorized
aby the Constitution, is the best. The
sproposed impeachment covers the
awhole ground, and, if carried out,
swould remove every difficulty which
islands in the way Of Congress and
Aits Southern policy. Greeley's fears
aupon this matter are all moonshine.
President Johnson's impeachment
and removal, in settling the Southern
question, instead of bringing on an
aother- war, would be followed by an
aother political carnival, North and
aSouth, something like that of 1910.
in which the shedding Of blood would
sgive way to the shedding of whiskey,
aapple- jack, hard cider and lager beer.
GIN this war, radicals and copperhe eads,
aYankees and Southerners, rebel
awhites and loyal niggers, would all
8be enlisted, and President and Con
Sgress would not be far behind Union

aglasses and sing together. and Sambc

had not effected any outlay not warranted by
the existing laws and ordinances, or such the
nature of which could not be delayed before the
Council asserting to them. He corroborated
the great desirability to retrench the expenses
and to reduce certain taxes, but pointed out,
that a proposal did not in this respect
a~ppertain to the discussions on the Budget, but
must be done by a separate draft of ordinance.
He did not consider an anal amatiOn of the
office of the Collector of Customs in Christian
sted and that of the royal Treasurer advisable,
which might create greater loss to the Customs
Dues than what the saving of the amount OF a
salary would be.
The End member for Christiansted's country
district (Ratcliffe) stated, that according to his
opinion certain items Of expenditure had been
effected for account of the Poor Department
without the assent of the Council. lie drew
attention to the imp0ssibiIity Of the. crop
Of the Island, about $500 hogsheads, be
ing able to bear the burden of aboat $I92, 900,
the amount shown in the Budget. lie consi-
dered the proper proceeding would be, when
the Budget is brought in, that it be treated by
u Committee laboring conjointly with His
Excellency, for the purpose of making the
necessary rettenchmentS.
The lst member for Frcderiksted's town
(Sarauw) drew attention, that if the first dis
cuSsion of the Budget were to be closed to-day,
it would be nccessary'to defer fhe 2nd discus
sion after it had been commenced in order to
call in amendments, which could not be brought
in before a collective statement Of the altera-
tions adopted in the Grants of expenditure was
laid before the Council.
10 one requiring the word, the Vice-Chair-
man closed the lSt discussion.
Thereupon was read a proposal of the LIST
member for Christiansteds town (Clindinen),
that the Council memorialise the Government
regarding the abolition of the Phonetic system
in the rural schools but the discussion was
postponed for the next meeting.
The Vice-C Chairman fixed the next meeting
for Monday the 2nd September, II o'clock at
neon.
The meeting closed at 81 o'clock.

resist an unjust claim made upon them.
In the "Lohy Sleigh" enpIosion they
were not liable to pay the losses, in which
respect l beg to extract from the Post
Magazine for 1864 March 10 page 80 3rd

Vice Chancellor's judgment in said case
"They the Insurance Companies) were
not legally liable but as the law Of the
case is laid down by Sir William Page
Wood, 'the Board, under their general
powers, according TO customs, and by
way Of advertisement were justified in

point to encourage in the rising genera

that correct and rapid computation might
come easily to the infant intellect. We
are happy to announce the success Of this
treatment in the case of little Clara

allowed to accompany her parents in the

took her to church for the first time,
