Tlxe Lion and. the Eagle Lie Down Together. [From our Special Correspondent. ] DetroiT, July 15. To the Editor of the Savannah Herald: An International Commercial Convention has been in session befe four days this week. It comprises about five hundred delegates from forty-three Boards of Trade and Com mercial Associations, representing as many cities in the United States and Provinces. The list of cities included New York, Bos ton, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Troy, Al bany, Pittsburg, Portland, Harrisburg, Ban gor, Rochester, Oswego, San Francisco, Mon treal, Toronto, Quebec, Hamilton, St. Johns, Halifax, and many more. There were about four hundred American and one hundred British delegates. The number of men from each side of the line was large. The local interests represented were diverse; the topics introduced for discussion were many. The idea of the Convention originated with the Detroit Board of Trade, from which invita tions were issued to all the commercial asso ciations in the country to send delegates to Detroit, to a Convention to be held on July 11, for the discussion of Finance, Commerce, Transit between the East and the West, the Question of a Reciprocity Treaty with Cana da, and any other subject tending towards the development of the resources of the country. , The Government gave notice last winter of the abrogation of the Reciprocity Treaty with the British Provinces, in accordance with its terms, and although that abrogatiou has not taken effect yet, it will very sood, and it has already cast a cloud over the com mercial prospects of Canada. The annexa tion feeling—which was scarcely heard of from the negotiation of the treaty in 1854 up to last winter—has again appeared; and al though the government press and orators in the British Provinces have endeavored to make light of it and deride it, they have felt the neeu,of doing something more to satisfy the requirements of the provincials tor free trade with the States. It is supposed that the idea was suggested by prominent Canadians, but whether it was, or it was the legitimate fruit of the Detroit Board ofTrade.it was all the same, Detroit, like Portland,being large ly interested in the Canada trade. When the Convention had assembled, and variety of local interests were represented by men who “meant business” and who had come to defend their own interests by tooth and nail. On the question of transit, the great and growing West demands every avenue to the ocean—to the markets on the Atlantic and in Europe—while Buffa lo and tile other cities on the Erie Canal be lieve, or seemed to believe, that that canal was the “last ditch,” from which they would never be driven. The Buffalo delegation made a tenacious fight in favor of enlarg ing the Erie Canal and against the Niagara Falls Canal, which is proposed, of capacity sufficient to enable the largest vessels to sail from Lake Erie into Lake Ontario, and thence down the St. Lawrence to the com mon highway of nations. This is what the West wants—to land large cargoes of grain in Europe without breaking bulk before get ting there, which would cheapen carriage and thereby increase the demand abroad by enabling our western farmers to compete with the farmers of the Baltic region, from which Europe now draws most of its bread stuffs. The question of transit was settled by passing resolutions asking the Govern ment to build the canal around the Falls of Niagara, in favor of improving the naviga tion 6f the Mississ : ppi and Us tributaries, when the condition of the national finances will admit of it, and recommending to the State of New York the enlargement of the Erie Canal. Resolutions were also adopted in favor of the protection of American industry, and looking towards the formation of a National Board of the equalization of weights and measures upon a decimal stan dard. But the great question was that of Reci procity, This brought out a very lively and interesting debate, in which several speakers opposed to Reciprocity, did not fail to remind our brothers from over the border that they had sympathized with the rebels during the war, and that they had always had the best of it under the old treaty. There were no ad vocates on the American side of the old treaty, but of a npw treaty, “upon a fair and just basis” to both parties. Tne provincial delegates managed their side of the case with a great deal of tact. From the first they de clined to vote in the organization of the Con vention, which was very proper as the sub jects to be discussed in it embraced several of our own affairs in which they could have ne interest. They also declined, to put mem bers on any committees appointed to lay out work for the convention, but only asked the privilege of sending delegates before such committees to state to them their side of the case. In this way they appeared before the committees on Transit and Reciprocity. But two of their ablest ipen were also heard in the convention Malcolm Cameron, of Quebec, on the Transit question, and Hon. Mr. Howe, of Nova Scotia, long a leader of the Govern ment there and considered the ablest man in the British provinces, on the question of Reci procity. Mr, Howe* spoke nearly two hours, and to so gopd purpose that his remarks had great weight with the Convention and helped, to brißg about an unanimous vote in favor of the resolve “that the Government be requested to enter into negotiations with the British Government with a view to the formation of a treaty for reciprocal trade with the British provinces, reference being had to the present financial : condition of the country.” This was the PRICE, 5 CENTS substance of what was finally done upon this important question, but the opposition of the coal and lumber interest of Pennsylvania and Maine, and the feeling which existed in the minds of many delegates against Canada, was very strong for the first part of the dis cussion, and threatened at one time to defeat the principal object of the Convention. The people of Detroit treated their guests to a splendid steamboat excursion on the river, Thursday evening—three mammoth steam boats being lashed together and elegantly decorated tor the occasion, with a brass band on each, while the saloons of the inside boat were dedicated to epigastric exercises and those of the outside ones to dancing. Altogether the Convention was an impor tant affair, and it lacked nothing but repre sentatives from the once busy marts of the Sunny South to make it all that we could wish. * O. K. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. * '’•W'.wwwA.wyxv Acousta, July 19th. Cotton. —The decline in the New York markets has not had any effect on the mar ket here, as the margin between the two places was very large, allowing ample sCbpe tor fluctuations. Tne quotations in this city to-day is, for middliug to middling fair, 30 to 35 cents; a good demand and, but few sel lers, except from wagons and other small lots from the plantations. The general im pression among large holders is, that prices will advance here. As transportation be comes easier and more certain, and having held through a period of great danger and uncertainty, they ace not disposed to sell at a disadvantage. Fbeioht— At present, by Express, to New York is from 3 to 4 cents per lb., which cov ers all charges of wharfage, drayage, &c. By flat boats to Savannah, $5 per bale or I cent per lb. There are several boats building at our wharves for transporting this staple, which, with the new boats recently put ou the river, will afford ample transportation facilities reducing the rate of freight atfd ap proximating piicp» here to those of New York. Those who are able to hold, and de sire to speculate on the future, will reap all these advantages by holding on a short time longer. 1 * Gold—The brokers were buying to-day freely at 40 to 45, and gelling at 60 cents pre mium, with good demand and price firm. The Constitutionalist gives the following figures obtained at a late auction in Augusta; Rio Coffee 50c per lb; combination coffee 16 cts per lb; Stewart’s crushed sugar 30 a 33 1-2 cts per lb; codfish in casks 5c per lb; tallow candles 19 3-4cperlb; twine 16c per lb; pickles $4 per keg; buckwheat flour 9c per lb ; dried apples 9c per lb; raisins 7a $8 per box; mackerel 4 1-2 a 5c per lb; chewing tobacco, good grades, 65 a 85c per lb; Span ish segars 35 » SSO per thousand; codfish 3 50 a $4 per box. _ Macon. July 18 Cotton. —The sales for the past week have amounted to between 600 and 700—but most ly in small lots—at frprn 26 to 30 cents, ac cording to quality aifc condition of baling. Holderg are unwilling sellers, even at the outside figure, and in most cases nothing but the absolute need of money compelling them to sacrifice the precious staple. Parties hold ing cotton complain, ahd very justly, we think, of the very wide margin existing be tween the prices offered here and those rul ing in the market. The operations here are confined mostly to speculative de mand. The chief field for speculators, how ever, is confined to the interior of the coun try, where greenbacks or any other currency is at a discount, and where one dollar in gold will buy from six to eight pounds t>f the snowy staple. The latest quotations for cotton, in New York, on the 12th inst., was 52 cents, and the market firm, with an up ward tendency. This will have the effect of causing sellers to advance their rates, which buyers will have to reluctantly yield.— Herald. Columbus, July 14. About a dozen bales were brought in this morning, which obtained ready sale at from 25 to 27 cents per pound in currency. Seven teen cents in gold was refused for another lot. We learn that there are buyers from several other States, including some from the North, and that there is an active inquiry. We do not think that the price is yet as high as the article ought to command here, and we look for an advance. Collision on the Alabama and Florida Railroad— Engine Blown Up and Five Per sons Killed. —We are pained*,to announce that a fatal mishap occurred odr the Alabama and Florida Railroad, on Friday evening last, under the following circumstances : The passenger train which left this city for Mobile on Friday, collided with a lumber train com ing up, at or near Fort Deposit, about twen ty-five miles below this place. ■ The crash is reported to have been terrible, resulting in the explosion of one of the locomotives and the killing of five persons—one white man and four negroes—and slightly wounding several of the passengers. In consequence of this accident, the mail train from Mobile, due in this city at eleven o’clock a. m. yes terday, had not arrived up to the hour c£ going to press last night. Accidents on this* road are becoming alarmingly treq uent.— Scarcely a day passes that we do not hear of some mishap. It is to be hoped that this important line of travel will speedily be re paired and put in a safe condition.-—Mont gomery Mail, 1 6th. The Epidemic in Egypt.—A let ter from Alexandria, June 28, furnishes de-- tails regarding the cholera, &c. It says the existence of the cholera was officially de clared on the 11th of June, on which day three deaths occurred. By the gnd of the first week the deaths increased to about NO per day. By the end of the second week they reached about 200, and on the 27th the number was 250. There was much alarm, and about 30,000 people quitted the city. Business was generally suspended; but Mr Hall, the United States consul general, re mained at his post, and the business of the consulate was transacted as usual. No cases of cholera had occurred among the American residents, or on American vessels. #
