The total failure of the potato crop appears to
he a sad reality. Every wherein Ireland, and
in the greater part of the British Island, the po
tato fields are shrouded with the dark mantlet of
the plague. The vegetable has turned into pa

The Foreign Conn Tkdc The harvest
may be considered concluded, little grain of
any description vow 'remaining in tb fields,
ven in the most backward part of the kingdom.
Aa yet but few estimates of the result have
been offered, public attention having been no
much taken up with the potato disease, and it
probable consequence, as to cast intothe shade
II other matter. Under theso circamatancca
it has been extremely difficult to obtain accu
rate information relative to the yield of tho dif
ferent grain crop, and wo are not in a pnei
inn to nfler a ery decided opinon on the sub
ject. Judging, however, from what we have
hitherto been enabled to collect, we are at ton p.
ly inclined to believe that the produce of wheat
will prove lee to the acre than was expeced
previous to the commencement of the haiveat.
Thehficiency in quantity may in acme mea
sure be made good by the superiorly of the
quality and the great weight of the grain; but
with full allowance for these advantages, we
til! question whether the yield will exceed
that of average seasons. This, though not a
very favorable view, ia more that can be said
of any other crop of corn.
The next in importance to wheat is that of
barley, which is admitted on all hands to fall
materially short. The deficiency in the pro
duce) variously estimated; but that there ia
an important deficiency ia universally acknow
ledged. Next wo come to oat; the extreme heat
and the, want of moisture during the greater
part of the summer, were exceedingly trying
to this crop, and, excepting on the beat deecrip
lions of soil, the yield is even lighter than that
of barley. Beans are probably, not more than
half a crop; and pea have turned out equally
short. Indeed, with the exception of hay, which
ia abundant and of excellent qual.ty, the gross
amount of food raised in Great Britain, for man
and beast, is unqucslionsbly very considerably
below what ia likely to be required before an
other harrst can be gathered. That an im
portation, and that on an extensive scale, would
have been required, even if the potatoes had
not been attacked by the fatal disorder of last
year, we 1cel perfectly convinced; and with
this calamity to crown our misfortunes, we are
likely to need assistance to an extent which
mast raise the value of agricultural produce all
over the work). It ia very far from our wish to
create unnecessary alarm, or to aid those who,
from interested motives, may endeavor to exag
gerate the evile of our position , but we cannot
shut our eyea to the fact that a failure of the po
tatocrop, though mt only to the extent of one
fourth of the total quantity usually grown,
would, with the deficiency in other articles of
food, b sufficient to drive up prices of provi
sion to t height likely to bo productive of se
rious inconvenience to the poorer classes of the
community. Since our last, a further rise of
from 2s. to 4s. perqr. Ins taken place in the
value of wheat at all the leading provincial mar
kets, and a proportionate enhancement has been
established in price of spring corn ond puise.
The total advance on wheat from the lowest
point ia 8e. to 10. per qr. After so rapid and
important an enhancement, it ia not improbable
that the upward movement may receive a tem
porary check. The price now obtainable are
much higher than farmer rvckom d on at the
time the new corn laws were introduced ; and
it ia not unreasonable to suppose that they may
be hereby induced to supply the markets liber
ally for a time, but sooner or later we expect
to see price higher than they are at present.
Our advice from Scotland and Ireland con
tinue to give very deplorable accounts of the
spread ofthe potato murrain. The apprehen
sion on thia subject had, we are informed, in no
degree abated; and in tho latter country par
ticularly, the most fearful consequence were
dreaded. Pricea have risen fullv aa much of
ate in the Scotch and Irish market aa with us
0
and, for the present, at least, no supplies from
either quarter can be calculated on.
The harvest just secured haa proved more
or lesa defective over nearly the whole of conti-
nental Eiiiopo, In France and Belgium, as well
a in several or the more southern countries,
the deficiency I reported to be so serious aa to
have caused pricea to rise above the level of our
own; and even in the Baltic quotations of
wheat are relal.vely higher in the British mar
ket. There is consequently little propped ol
large importation from any quarter except
America; and the surplus growth of the United
State will, unquestionably, best.ipprd to what
ever market may promise the best return.
Moat ofthe bounded wheat haa been either
withdrawn or told for shipment to France, and
there has been scarcely a sample on offer since
Monday last. In thia atsteof affairs it is not
easy to give quotations, but aa some criterion
of the value of wheat under lock, we may men
lion thai common Polish Odessa haa been held
t 44 per qr., being more than it would few
week ago have fetched doty paid.
Of English Oat only 1,58(1 qr. have arrived
durins the week ; whilst from Scotland and
Ireland the receipt have been trivial, viz; 101
qrs. and 0,003 qr. rmpectively. The foreign
supply haa also been small. And a it ia the
general opinion that the most ofthe Archangel
shipment have now coma to hand, whilst the
quantito on passage from other quarters is be-'
licved to be unimportant, a scarcity of this grain
ia looked tipoa aa by no means an improbably
evsni.
For Indian Cora a speculative inquiry has
beet) experienced ; and though purchaser have
readily paid 2. to 3. more, many holder have
declined wiling.
Bean have met with a good deal of attention
since our laat.and have realised enhanced rates;
for Egyptain ia bond 33av per qr. haa been ob
tained. M ' i.J-
' Ol English Pea none nave appeared at mar
ket since Monday foreign have consequently
ben taken at high price -
The duty on the two lat named articles, as
well aa that on Rye, being regulated by the
Barley averages, what we have said above in
respect to the probable fall of tht latter, applies
in the whole of these articles.
The late roe in the value ol all kind of grain
in the British markets has, as usual, influenced
quotation at the principal porta on tho Conti
nent. Wheat has advanced materially all over
the Baltic; but this haa been aa much caused
by orders from Belgium and FranYe as by the
reporta from hence, . s .. , .
Vttore from Panels;, dated 5ih instant, fur
nish ua with a statement ofthe shipment from
thence during Atifut, from which it appears
that of the 3160 lasts exported, only 380 lasts
had born despatched to British porta. Since
the previous post day rather large purchases
had been made there on Belgian account, whilst
scarcely any thing had been taken for England.
At Rostock auppliea ol new grain had come
slowly to hand; and holder having aked ex
travagant prices, comparatively, few bargains
had been closed.
From Antwerp we have letters of the 10th
inst. Wheat and rye were then in brisk de
mand, and the tendency of prices of these arti
cles and oata was decidedly upward.
In the French mark-e considerable excite
ment seems to have prevailed. A letter from
Marseilles, ol the 5th inst., statea that the stock
of wheal on the spot had become greatly reduc
ed ; which, with the excited atalements from
hence, and continued order from Languedoc,
had caused a further riso in prices. The best
qualities of Polish Odessa were then worth 47
fid., and secondary descriptions from 43s fid.
to 40s. per quarter.
At other ports in the Mediterranean the va
lue of wheat was, according to the most recent
adv ecs equally high.

07" Th Fobkioh Grain Market. We have
extracted largely from foreign journals on the
subject of the crops in Europe, which is peculiar
ly interesting to our farmers at the present time.
It will be seen that there is a gieat deficiency e
ven in England, although the wheat crop there is
an average one, which means anything but a good
one.
COT Thc Risk in Gbain. By th late foreign
news, of which an abstract will be found in an
other column, it will be aeen that the price of
grain has considerably advanced in England. The
grain crop in England, instead of being a good
one as expected, turns out only to be an average
one, while the entire failure of the potato crop
throughout the United kingdom, will reduce
many of the people to a atate bordering on star
vation. In France, not oply the potato crop,
but the grain crop has proved a failure. Through
out the continent of Europe the potato crop, and
in many places the rye crop, has failed. When
ever there is a failure of the crops in Europe,
there must alwaya be an increased demand on
this country, to supply the deficiency, and this
must always be attended with a rise in price.
No sensible person, of course, will be humbug
ged with the idea that either the tariff of 1819
or 1846 had anything to do with the matter, un
lets it could be established that the potato rot
wat caused by thetarifT. The tarifTof 1846 will
not go into operation until December, and of
course it could have no efTect. The great danger
of the tarifTof 1840 ia, that hereafter when any
gieat rerultion of trade shall take place in Eng
land, they may throw their manufactured goods
into this country at a sacrifice break down our
own establishments, and throw thousands out of
employment. The consequence will be, that the
borne market will be destroyed ; and if the crops
in Europe should be good, grain, for want of a
demand at home or abroad, may go down to half
ite present value. It is for this reason we should
have a tariff that would guard against such dan
ger. It is for this reason we should oppose eve
ry free trade candidate, and it is for this reason
that every farmer and mechanic, who haa his
own interest and the interest of the Stat at
heart, ahould oppose Wm. B. Foster, the free
trade candidate, and vote for James M. Power,
th candidate of the people.
07" We have been Informed that Mr. White's
prospetts in Union are much better than was at
first expected. Mr. Pollork's majority, it ia said,
will not exceed nine hundred. If the democrats
turn out, they can very easily overcome that ma
jority. . . ,
07 Let every deeiocrat remember, that it it
much better to reject one improper candidate on
the ticket than to endanger the success ofthe par
ty hereafter, by voting for him. Mr. Foster, it
is true, recieved the nominaton, but not by fair
means, and hat now opposed to him a large num
ber ofthe most Influential democrats in Pennsyl.
vsnia. They aay, if Mr. Foster ia elected, it
will cause split In the party, and the whiga
will then moat probably elect their next Gover
nor but if Foster is defeated, we will show the
world that we are opposed to fraudulent nomi
nations, and will hereafter elect ear candidates
without trouble.

ot who wild bi log the most influence to aid Mr.
Foster's nomination." This alone, if there wer
no other causes, woald be enough to condemn
him in tb eyes of every honest and independent
democrat,
Hut Mr. Foster it in favor or the Southern lYee
trad doctrines, a fact which he has never dared
to authorize his Irien.ls to deny, and which we
will pledge ourselves to prove, by persons in this
place, Harrlsburg, Wilkeibarre and other placet.
That Mr. Foster is squandering the public mo
ney and mismanaging the public works, rah be
seen by any one going to the Shatnokin dam, heat
this place, where he has now employed about
one hundred men, at 1 12) per day, and where
he Will spend before he it done, 13 or 20 thou
sand dollars or the peopled money, which, for
all the good it will do, might aa Well be thrown
into the river.
Mr. Foster and the Shiomkln Dam.
We asserted, a few weeks since, tint the re
pairs ofthe Shamokin Dam would cost ten thou
sand dollars, and that they were paying i t tenia
for timber that could have been purchased for
four cents in the spring. Mr. Foster's agents
have tried to contradict this statement through
Mr. Bettleyon. who is a rontiactor under Mr.
Foater, and of course is in duty bound to screen
him when he can. Now we admit we were mis
taken, and instead of saying tb repairs would
cost ten thousand, we ought to have said twenty
thousand dollars. They have now been working
on the dam nearly three months, with a force nf
70 to 100 men. These men are paid 81 12) per
day, and will have to work at least one month
longer. But suppose we say 100 men a $1 12)
for only 100 daya, and we shall have the enor
mous sum of eleven thousand two hundred and
fifty dollars for labor alone. The iron will cost
several thousand dollars, and the timber, stone
and gravel will bring op the cost to at least
820,000. We have made further enquiries about
the price paid for timber, and find that instead of
11 eenta they are paying 12 cents per cnbie foot
for some. And further, that there are not forty
yellow pine loge in the whole dam. It is all
hickory-pine and oak. A farmer of Augusta, a
few daya aince, aaid he would have been clad to
have delivered this timber at six cents, on two
months' notice. Thus our farmers and mechan
ics can aee bow the money which cornea out of
their pocketa ia used, or rather wasted, at the
Shamokin dam will antwer no better than it did
before, a fact that is evident to any mechanic or
contractor who will examine it.
Forty unions of Dollars!
Voters of Pennsylvania, remember that your
I uulic Debt is now 40 millions, the interest of
which, every six months, is nine hundred thou
ssnd dollars. Remember that Wm. B. Foster,
the Canal Commissioner, is now spending one
hundred and fifty dnllart per day on the Shsmo
kin dam, and which will cost $20,000, all of
which Will be lost, as the dam is still as leaky as
before. He is in favor of Tree trade, which will
ruin our coal and iron interests, and thereby re
duce the tolls en the rsnal a half a million of dol
lars, alt of which will have to be made up out of
the pocketa of the farmers, in the shspe of taxes.
All these things are dnhe that Foster may keep

Wra. B. Potter la Westmoreland.
The following extract of a letter from an old
and prominent democrat in Westmoreland, show
that the feeling against Wm. B. Foster, in the
West, is such that be most be defeated by an im
mense majority. Tb democratic party it deter
mined to put down corruption of all kindt :.
"Grbknsbiro, Sept. 18t!i, 1846.
'In this (Westmoreland) county, Foster can
not receive the party vote by eight hundred--our
osual majority is about 2200; and if the
same feeling prevail against him until th a
lection, that does at this time, hia majority will
not exceed 1300. This state of. things exist
here, because it is believed that Foster was no
minated by the intrigue and management of the
oftce holders ofthe State administration and on
the public Works. To prove this inference to
be correct, we sent four delegatea to the 4th of
March convention, indirectly instructed against
the re-nomlnation of Wim B. Foster, lit this
wise, 'a resolution waa ottered, to instruct th
delegates in favor of hi re-nomination, which
was laid on the table by an overwhelming ma
jority,' yet, when our delegate Battle to vole lit
convention, they with one exception Voled hit
Poster. We are decidedly ol opinion that
Westmoreland was betrayed by the delegation,
sold to Poster, to secure the sppointment of
John Ferguson as superintendent ofthe Portage
Rail Road. With thee facta staring ua in the
ace, we are of the belief that Foters nomins
tion was secured through bargain and sale; that
he and his colleagues in nfnee, including the
State administration, tampered with and set at
nallght the will of Ihe democratic party of thia
county, ahtl I have no doubl, of the whole state.
It is apparent to the, that If thc feeling against
Foster is ss prevalent throughout the state as
here, he muat be bcateh by a Very Urge majo
rity." 07 Let it na Rkmrmiierfi, if Wm. B. Fos
ter is re-elected Canal Commissioner, thai Mr.
Ilartshorne wilt also claim a re-election. That
they will then have the control of the Board, and
can re-elect themselves for life, by using tli
people's money and the promise of offices under
their control. If this is to be done, we might at
well repeal the law at once, which requires the
election of a Canal Commissioner every year.
Will democrats ever countenance such dangerous
doctrines? If not, then go to the polls and vote
for James M. Power.
07" Tub Thibtek.itu Comgressional Dis
trict. The candidates, Mr. White and Mr. Pol
lock are both in the field, exerting themselves to
the utmost. The friends of both are sanguine of
success. This district has a democratic majority
of about aix hundred, which ought to ensure the
election of Mr. White. There are, it is true, a
few democrats that will vote for Mr. Pollock,
but not enough to make the difference of the de
mocratic majority. Mr. White'a success will
depend very much on the turn out of the party.
Our Whig friends will of course turn out, know
ing it absolutely necessary to do so. The result
will depend very much a poo the vote of Nor
thumberland and Lycoming counties. Should
these counties poll within four hundted of the
vote given to Mr. Polk, there ran be no duulit of
the election of Mr. White. The fnltowine are
the democratic majorities in 114 :

Clinton, it is said, will nuw give Mr. White
from 200 to 240 of a majority. Thus, there is a
fair prospect of redeeming the 13th district,
which, if it is not now accomplished, must be
attributed wholly to the apathy and want of har
mony in the ranks of the democracy. Mr. Whit,
like Mr. Pollock, sayt he it opposed to the tariff
of 1846, and hia frienda properly urge, that he
could do more, as a democrat, to modify it, than
Mr. Pollock.
