We give in another part OF to-day's paper a full
and careful compilation of the news brought by the
Britannia. 1t is interesting and important to every
individual In America.


The commercial intelligence IS the most import
ant as affecting, particularly, the business of this
country and the prosperity of eur people. The
weather in England had been more favorable, and
il was oyously anticipated that the yield of grain
would be good one. Ii is true that the accounts
of the crops from the continent of Europe are not
so favorable, yet if England wants but little from
abroad the continent can very well manage to fill
the mouths OF the people TIL another harvest. We
have only TO think of short crop in England and on
the continent, in the same year, TO imagine scene
of deeper distress and misery than has yet been
mentioned in history. Starvation never retiects--a
scarcity of bread leads TO bloody riots something
else.


This news of sunshine on the other side of the At
lantic is very interesting to apart from the benevo
lent feelings we have for the poor, already half
starved, laborers OF England. II affects the opera
tons in cotton; and where we lose IN the sale OF a
few hundred barrels of -four at advanced prices, we
gain in the disposal of thousands Of bales of cotton,
that would otherwise remain at home to depress the
value OF the whole. The intelligence is, therefore,
doubly interesting to US; our feelings of charity and
our desire for cash are both satisfied. 1t is to be
seen that the cotton market in this city was mmedi-
atey affected and prices advanced three-eghhs of
cent, with large sales. Our flour merchants how
ever, are firm they still have hope.


There is no political news of consequence except
it be that the annexation of Texas continued TO abb
sorb the attention of the rabd portion of the English
press ENGLAND was quiet: Victoria was still
amused on the continent; Ireland was in state of
abeyance; the religious riots in Germany had
spread the reformation over the continent; Spain
was in trouble; and Europe, generally, appears TO
be in state of transition.
