THE CULTIVATOR. 
Sept. 
ring the first day of the exhibition, 1,336 visitors en¬ 
tered the yards ; the second day, 2,738 ; and the third 
day 22,090. At the dinner of the Society, the Earl 
of Chichester proposed the health of our Minister, 
Mr. Bancroft, to which the latter replied in an elo¬ 
quent speech, which was received with great applause. 
In allusion to the remark of Earl C. that Britain and 
the United States might “ long remain in terms of 
brotherhood,” Mr. Bancroft said— 
“ I respond fully, and in the name of every Ameri¬ 
can, in the wish that has been uttered, that peace may 
be continued forever—(cheers) nay, rather let us hope 
that the relations between our countries, the interna¬ 
tional intelligence betwixt us, may lead to such inti¬ 
mate relations that the very thought of the disturbance 
of peace may be dismissed from our minds, and that it 
may seem a vain, unnecessary, and a useless prayer to 
pray that peace may be perpetual (cheers). This, 
gentlemen, is uttered from my heart, and every one of 
my countrymen will, I am sure, respond to it. I beg 
to renew my expressions of gratitude for your kindness 
to me on this occasion, and to offer my fervent prayers 
for the prosperity of the farmers of England (loud 
cheers).”

Remarks. —By the Cambria , which arrived at Boston on the 
18th ult., we have English papers to the 3d of August. In conse¬ 
quence of the prospect of abundant harvests, not only in the 
British islands, but on the continent of Europe generally, the price 
of breadstuff's^ had still further declined. Willmer & Smith’s 
European Times gives the following view of the decline from the 
19th May to the 3d Aug : “ On the 19th May, the price of Ameri¬ 
can flour in Liverpool, was 48s. to 49s. Yesterday a considerable 
sale took place of the same description of flour, at 27s. to 27s. 6d. 
The highest market price of best wheat at Mark-Lane, on Mon¬ 
day, the 2d, when a further reduction again took place of from 8s. 
to 10s. per quarter below the currency of. the previpus Monday, 
was 70s. per quarter.” The harvest >s nearly over in France, 
and had commenced in England. The potato disease had made its 
appearance in but few districts, and only in a modified form. The 
cotton market has been firm for the most part, since the sailing of 
the Hibernia. The demand for American salted provisions was 
fair. The wool trade was generally brisk. 
The effect of the late declension in the prices of breadstuff's 
abroad, has not been so great here as might have been anticipated, 
owing to the small supply in market, and the quantity called for on 
domestic account.

sess over eastern nurseries in supplying the great west will be 
seen at a glance. To say nothing of the extra expense of trans¬ 
portation, the saving of eight or ten days, [very often two or three 
weeks,] in their transportation, is an item of some little impor¬ 
tance.
