The news from India is calculated to produce
feeling of uneasiness in political as well as in
commercial sense. Sir Henry Hardinge, il

The PoTATo FAnURE.-The failure of the po-
tato crop is universal The reports from every
part of the United Kingdom are appalling, whilst
letter alter letter from the continent of Europe de-
taiis the rayages which this strange and unnccount
able aois disease p has made in France, Belgium, Hol-
OF science have failed TO trace the failure to any
particular cause, and the practical farmer feels at
loss what to do. The fact is, the potato disease
an agricultural puzzle, which neither the one
or the other can satisfactorily solve. But apart
nom this view of the matter, it is now a question
which all classes, both here and on the continent
Europe, must seriously consider, how is this de-
hciency OF human food to be made up? The
crops in the United Kingdom are not more than
| an average either in quantity or quality We
must, therefore, lock to other countries for sup
ply sufhcient for the large and increasing con-
sumpuon that's now going forward. Again, the
accounts from France as TO the harvest in that
coantry are most distressing; a very large uuanti
ty Of wheat will, therefore, be required for its inn
mediate wants All over the norh Of Europe rye,
the staple article of consumption, has yielded mis-
erably short: Barley and oats are also defective,
and wheat far from abundant. It is, therefore,


evident, that large impor,ations of breadstufs y
| from Canada and the United States must take





readily be paid. The wise policy of settling the
Oregon question without havinglte tecourse to arms
Is more than ever apparent England and the
United states have lost nothing; but, on the con.
trary, both are already gamers by adopting the
course advised by cautious and discerning states
