hr Chicago CoNVuN+iUN.— The following
froiri a highly respectable source, which
, ilntlie Washington Union, will set at
reyt all the misstatements which have been cir
culated In, delation to the composition and objects
ol the Chicago Convention :
Dhtroit, July 28,1847.
SAVANNAH.
MONDAY MOANING, AUGtJST 9, 1847.
nk
_ tSdildrs of t\4 Union:
I perceive thalyoti have admitted into your
respectable columns an anonymous letter Irom
this cityr falsifying and calumniating the meet
ing held at the Capitol here, on the 8th Instant,
to promote the election of General Taylor to
the Presidency. The letter speaks of the meet
ing as a farce—says that the people took no
part in it, and that it was not countenanced by
any man of respectable standing or Influence
in lha Democratic party. The writer adds,
that the meeting was composed entirely ol
Whigs of 1840, with the exception of the Chair
man.
Now, sir, allow me to say that a more mis-
erable caricature of the truth has not appeared,
on a similar occasion, 6ince the period when
General Jackson was first announced as a can
didate for the Presidency. Then it Jwas no un
Usual thing to sneak in the same contempuons
terms of the early friends of General Jackson,
of the character of the meetings held in his fa
vor, and of the small number of his supporters.
The result is known to the world. He was
elected and re-elected by overwhelming majori
ties ; and his early calumniators, thecolumnia
tors or his early friends, were whipped into the
traces, and compelled to appear to become hi*
most zealous supporters.
Vour correspondent—he is well known here—
says that the people took no part In the meet
ing. All present at it were free electors, 1
know of none other. No public officers were
present, I believe, except, the Chalrmaln.—
.What or who may compose the people, in the
opinion of your anonymous correspondent, it is
difficult to conjecture. Perhaps he is himself
S y unfounded is the allegation, that the
was composed of ail Whigs of 1840,
except one. It consisted of onwards of one
hunared electors, and was called in hang-bills
alone. At least one half of the meeting were
uniform Democrats, never were Whigs or Fed
eralists, and voted the Democratic ticket for the
Presidency in 1840 and 1844.
Five of the nine members of the committee
appointed to draught resolutions are Demo
crats. .Three of the five members of the general
committee of correspondence are of that party;
and three of the five members of the committee
to consult and correspond in the State, with a
view to the formation or an electoral ticket for
Gen. Taylor, are also Democrats. Of the
eight speakers at the meeting, mentioned in the
official account of its proceedings, five of them
are Democrats.
As to respectable and influential members of
the Democratic party not lending their counte
nance to the meeting, that will hereafter be
seen. Those of them who did attend it, would
shrink from no comparison, In either point of
view, with your anonymous correspondent, or
any of the time-serving politicians, who al
ways wait to see which is the strongest side
before they venture to express their opinions.
There is but one fact mentioned in the letter
of your correspondent; and that is, that “the
democracy of Michigan are warm friends or
General Taylor.” They are not only friendly
to him for his glorious military services, but
three-fourths of them would to-morrow vote for
him as the next President.
Now, sir, this letter is drawn from me only
by the insidious attempt, eqtlally paltry and
hnrtiess, to make false impressions abroad.—
My taste is for discussions of a more useful and
dignified nature. 1 shall, nevertheless, be hap
py to exchange real names with ffie person who
has drawn these remarks from me.
You certainly know me well enough to leel
assured that neither my democracy nor veraci
ty can be truly questioned.
It is proper for me to add, that the prominent
Whig speaker (Mr. Emmons) at the meeting
declared,in bis speech, that he would not vote
for Gen. Taylor, or any other man, for Presi
dent, unless he were a Whig. He subsequently
declared that he hoped Gen. Taylor had higher
qualities to recommend him to the Presidency
than the murder eh or Mexicans. On the chair
man’s reminding him that. If these were his
sentiments, he was not entitled to take any part
in tha_proceedingsof a meeting of the friends of
Gen. Taylor for the Presidency, he tried to mod
ify his expressions; but the meeting voted him
and everything else down, except the adopted
resolutions, of which a copy was sent to you.
Yon can thus see how far the meeting was a
Whig meeting.
Cot. Jefferson Davis on tup. Cafitui.ation
of Monterey.—The New-York Spirit of the
Times, of July 3lst, contains a letter from
Natchez, describing the reception of Col. Davis
and Lieut. Col. McClung, in that city. In re
ply to a speech of welcome, Col. Davis elo
quently responded. Supporting himself in part
upon the front railing of the rostrum, and in part
upon one of his crotches, he delivered a power
ful address, containing the remarks subjoined,
which well may shame those who voted indi
rectly a censure, to which they feared to affix
the name:
“After thanking thd people for his regiment
and himself, for the very kind reception that
had been extended to them, he declared that
whatever hardship they had pndured—whatev
er service they had rendered in the field—they
had been more than repaid by the approbation
of their country. To the brave men he had had
the honor to command, he said be owed all that,
nnder the circumstances, one man could owe to
others. That when they reached the field ot
Buena Vista, the battle had commenced, and
they met a regiment of their countrymen flying
from the enemy, yet with the greatest alacrity
they advanced, firing, upon ten times their own
numbers. When their flanks were threatened,
they were manceuvred to, and fought upon, ei
ther flank—were halted, changed their position
to the renr, formed again to the front, and in the
coolest manner, and without bayonets, they
stood fast wilhont firings shot, till (he Mexican
Lancers, in “perfect array,” and with confi
dence hearainy on their banners, came upon
them, when they poured on them a volley, such
as'none but American Riflemen can deliver, re
pulsing at once, and with great slaughter, the
Mexican Cavalry.
The honor of taking the first work at Monte
rey, he said, had been unjustly appropriated by.
others; but he claimed it for his own Regiment;
there ought to be no qnestion about it; there
conid be no doubt, for, said be, with a flashing
eye, and most emphatic lone of gesture, “Lieot-
CoL.McCluftg, Whose mangled form now sits
before you, was the first man to enter a battery
at Monterey, anil l, speaking, saw it with my
own eyes.” He denounced in no measured terms
the conduct of the government in withdrawing from
Gen. Taylor his troops—declined that if he had
known to what extent the capitulation of Monterey
had been used in the United Stales to ihjure Gen,
Tailor, his defence of it wovld have been more per
fect and complete—that he had the means in his pos
session— that at Monterey ft was noticed Chat
“those who complained most of the capitulation
were those who were not quite up to the rank
in the fight.” He concluded by stating, be was
about to restore to (heir country and their friends,
the remnant of his gallant regiment, “melted
down from that terrible engine of power, discip
lined Mississippi courage, into the mechanic,
the professional man, the husbandman, and the
peaceful citizen.” f

the 13th regiment of Infantry, commanded by
Col. Echols, of this State, hae been ordered to

Rail-Road Convention.—We understand
that the Southwestern Rail-Road Convention,
which assembled ot Americus this week, re

Who wifi not, that is a^le, subscribe largely,
with a view to giving this direction to the Road?

|3r Junks’*Bridge on the Louisville Road
has been carried away, and for several days it
baa been Impossible to cross the Ogeecbee. The
stage driver in attempting to cross with the
mail on horseback on Friday last was near be
ing drowned. We are assured that on Satur
day ibe Ogeechee formed a sheet of water four
miles wide, or from the 13 mile stone on the
Ogeechee road to the 17 mile stone. Our in
formant further says that almost all, if not quite
all the Rice plantations on the Ogeechee road
are under water, and the rice crop is in that
state ot present, that nearly a total loss of the
crops may with certainty be expected. On Sat
urday (be Ogeechee was still rising 20 miles
from town. Hence it could not have reached
its highest point below until last evening.
Our tables gave the unprecedented downfall
of rain of 20| inches during the month of July,
and we are persuaded that for the first week in
August, they will at least show a proportional
quantise not more. Now, however, the weath-
appears more settled, but all these heavy
rains have been attended with intervals of beau
tifully clear weather. The Cotton crops in the
State, particularly those in the low country
must necessarily suffer.
Tub Schooner Alert.—This schooner which
was dismasted more than a year since has been
entirely rebuilt by our enterprising fellow
citizen Mr. Willink, and is now ready fora
voyage to New York with a cargo of lumber.
She has a new frame of live oak, cedar and
southern pine, and her depth has been considera
bly increased. -With her new suit of sails, she
is certainly a much braver vessel than she ever
was in the days of her youth.
Weed’s New Store.—We are disposed to
think that the front of Messrs. N. B. & H.
Weed’s new Hardware Store on Broughton-
street is the handsomest one of any building in
Savannah, whether of a public or private char
acter. Even the front on Broughton-street lane,
is finished off - with granite columns, window
caps of sand-stone, Ac., presenting a really
handsome appearance. Messrs. Weed's assort
ment of iron, hardware, &c. is as complete as any
assortment in Ihe United Slates!I He has every
description of iron (hat any one can ask for.
His largest round iron is four inches in diame
ter, and his largest square iron is also four
inches to the side of the square. One of these
pieces, twelve feet long, weighs nearly eight
hundred pounds. Among the immense variety
of articles on hand, we observed various large
boilers for boiling sugar, of which some eighty
were sold last year.
Toe Milledgeville and Gordon Rail-Road.
We are gratified to observe the movement to
wards constructing ibis Road. We learn that
Seaton Grantland, Esq , has signified his in
tention of putting down ten thousand dollars,
and several other gentlemen will, we are sure,
follow so good an example. The City Council
of Milledgeville will, we learn, put down a sub*
scription of thirty thousand dollars, and that en
terprising citizen of Macon, Dr. Collins, is said
to have made certain propositions to grade the
Road, taking stock in part payment. If the capi
tal of the State is not made more accessible by a
Rail-Road, there is every prospect of Ihe seat of
Government belpg removed. Luckily, this*
Road can be built at a very moderate expense,
and it is the duty of the Legislature to vote at
least a small 6um to aid the object, instead of
expending a large additional sum in Govern,
ment offices, houses, Ac.,elsewhere. This was
done some years ago by the Legislature of Ma
ryland, and the seat of Government thus retain
ed at Anapolls. The position of the States’
Prison alone, would justify the expenditure of
a litle money by the 8tate, in aid of this Road.
That Milledgeville, through her manufacturing
enterprise, and through the judicious action or
a future Legislature, is destined to take a new
start in prosperity, we cannot doubt.
J3rTbe Reverend Mr. Morris, (if we re
member his name right,) a Lutheran Clergy
man, of Baltimore, is publishing some spirited
sketches of foreign travel in that respectable pa
per the Lutheran Observer, published in Balti
more. The perusal of them revives Ihe recol
lection of a very pleasant meeting we had with
that gentleman on Lake Locerne, in Switzer
land, where we viewed together scenes made
celebrated by their beauty, and immortal by
events in the life of William Tell. Mr. M. is
a good, thorough bred specimen of a “ live
American," full of energy, perseverance, unaf
fected piety and sincerity, a good writer, a good
walker and a^ood talker.
The readers of that Journal (the Republican,)
are given to understand in the clearest of sen
tences, that it advocates a protective tariff,which
gives protection for the sake of protection, and
that, in order to secure protection, it is ready
to sacrifice revenue. Oor neighbors have ta
ken a position in which they are exposed to the
same weapons which they formerly used against
us.
We unhesitatingly charge our neighbors with
a disposition to advocate " direct taxation !”—
for they are in favour of a tariff, not of revenue,
but of prohibition, which will sacrifice the only
object of a jnst tariff, revenue, to secure the ob
ject of an unjust and iniquitous tariff, PROTEC
TION.— Georgian of Ihe 6th inst.
That the Georgian has deduced unfair infer
ences from our remarks; and has imputed to us
opinions which we never entertained and never
expressed, we shall proceed to show.
We quote as follows from our article, to
which tlje above is in answer:
“That which the WhlgTarlffaccomplished is
before the world. When It went into operation
the revenue of 20 per cent, on some seventy
odd millions of dutiable articles gave a con
stant deficit to the Treasury. One batch of
Treasury notes was issued to pay another, and
it was the next thing to a positive impossibility
to make a loan to set the Treasury on its legs.
The Whig Tariff of ’42 went into operation, the
loan was eflected, the public debt reduced, and
nearly extinguished, and every branch of trade,
every department of commerce and agriculture,
was in a sound, prosperous, and healthy con
dition when ibis present Democratic tariff went
into operation a lew months ago. This, we
presume, is not denied.”
And again we said:
“If this boasted increase (of importations,
goes on increasing, those very evils predicted
by the Whigs will surely follow—a corres-
PONDINO DISPLACEMENT OP HOME PBODOCTIONS BY
FOREIUN GOODS, AND AN EXPORT Or SPECIE TO PAY
THE BALANCE.”
We had supposed that Ihe above, with Innu
merable other previous commendations of the
Tariff of ’42, bad left no doubt on any mind aa
to our hearty approval of it. We believe that
the objects above effected, could only be attained
by a Tariff like that of ’42, discriminating in
favour of American labour, not displacing its
productions, and affording ample revenue at
the same time. Does this look like a disposi
tion to sacrifice revenue in order to secure pro
tection 7
Again, our past history shows that in the
oral Jackson, because be paid off so much
of ihe National Debt, (some seventy millions
or more We believe,) created by our last war
with England. Whence did the money come 1
Why, in great part from the highest of all
Protective Tariffs—that of 1828! Then came
the next highest Tariff, that of 1832, and
the earlier year* of the compromise Tariff,
during which, with the aid of accessions from
an inflated currency, a surplus revenue after
wards so much deplored by the Democracy was
found to exist, our imports exceeding our ex
ports from 1834 to 1840, by some one hundred
and sixty millions of dollars. But the compro
mise Tariff went on diminishing Its rate or du
ties, and its protection, to the minimum of 20
per cent. Then followed an export of specie, the
ruin of manufacturers, the closing of their mills
and the consequent displacement of home pro
ductions bt foreion ooods, and with this state
of things came too (imports being reduced in
’40, ’41, and a part of ’42 by the sheer necessity
of the case, to a more moderate figure) the
smallest revenue which the country had seen for
a great many years.
Such is the experience of the past, from
which Whig predictions for the future are
drawn. The Whig Tariff of '49 remedied the
displacement of home productions, by giving
life to new manufacturing enterprises, and by
placing those in existence on a firmer basis,
and it did too what all the Democratic pa
pers SAID IT WOULD NOT DO—IT OAVB ADEQtQ'TK
revenue—revenue enough to pay current ex
penses, and previously existing deficits. That
Tariff we supported, and it, or a similar
one, which shall yield both protection and rev
enue we always have supported and always
shall support, and we stand now just where we
have stood. We still maintain that a reduction
of duties lessens revenue, and that In order to
keep up (be revenue to a proper standard im
portations must be increased, involving a dis
placement of homtf productions, an export of
specie to pay balances, a curtailment of paper
circulation much larger than the specie export
ed, and consequent bankruptcy and ruin, and
we believe too, that but for the famine abroad,
we should already have seen the beginning of
thrse evils under the existing tariff.
Thus much we havesaid, in order to make our
selves clearly, distinctly, and properly under
stood. In our previous article we indicated our
intention "to bide our time, and let the subject rest
for the present." The Tariffquestion will come up
ere long, in discussing national issues. Fending
an importantStatcelection however, weshall on
ly recur to it casually. Our time and space we
think, can be better employed than in going in
to a protracted discussion on a subject which
our readers understand so well already. The
question of an intelligent and economical ad
ministration of our State affairs is the most
prominent one before the people in this cam
paign, while on national subjects the conduct
of the Mexican war is creating a deep and in
tense interest throughout the Union. While
we are willing to pay tribute to the adroitness
of our neighbour in his apparent disposition to
avoid these more important issues, we are still
forcibly reminded that the executive veto stands
between our humble efforts and a recurrence
to a Whig Tariff.
Alabama Election.—The Montgomery cor
respondent of the Augnsta Chronicle Sentinel,
writing on the 3d inst., says: “1 hasten to an
nounce to you the result of our election here
yesterday. We have not received Ihe official
reports, but the Whigs have done their duty
this time—the Democrats are routed, foot, horse
and dragoons, in this county. The Whigs have
elected all their officers. Yon will doubtless
have slips to-morrow. I hope Georgia will do
her duly. The majority will be abool 150.”
Sympathy with Dorrism.—The Democratic
Legislature of New-Hampshire, at Ibe session
lately closed, when things looked much as if
the State might fall again into the hands of the
Whigs, in the extent of their magnanimity,
“passed a special act investing *Gov. Thos.
Wilson Dorr,’ the hero of Chepatchet, with the
rights of citizenship in that State, for which the
party barkers rlaim great credit I Some of the
most radical organs go so far as to throw out the
threat that as he is now where he may bold the
highest honors in the Slate, they may go to work
and place him there!”

board that the ship rose folly two Icet, and that,
in consequence of the breaking of the first spar
alluded to, we were Informed there was no
more than three feet of water In her. The ship
went back about a'foot; therefore, she stands
another foot higher than she was before. There
has been no trial to-day, but it is said that to
morrow there would be. It was said on board
that she was not wanted higher than a couple
of leet more.”
Money Market.—Money is not so easy as it
has been of late, and may be qnoted a half per
cent dearer during the last fortnight. A per
manently high rate of interest must be expected
for some time to come. When it is considered
that the present increased tightness has occurred
while we have moderate prices of grain, and a
fine prospect for (be harvest, some Idea may be
had of the state of things which would have
prevailed in this country had unfortunately the
weather been as unfavorabje as it has been the
reverse.
State op TnADE.—The Manchester market
has become quiet,and on certain goods has even
receded a little in price. Hopes are, however,
entertained, that as the grain market continues
todecHne.a revival may take place erelong.
All depends on the harvest.

Arrival of the U. S. Frigate Macedonian at
Cork.—This noble frigate, commanded by Com.
DeKay, reached Haulbowline on the 16th July,
after a fine voyage of twenty-nine days from
New-York. The Rev. C. C. Taylor, the leader
of the temperance muvtmenl in America, came
over as super-cargo. The crew, sixty In num
ber, are all te-totallers, and no spirits have been
allowed on board. This splendid vessel, of
,800 tons, has brought the generous contribu
tions of the American people for the relief of
the distress of their Irish fellow-creatures: but
it Is understood that Com. DeKay manned and
provisioned the vessel at his own cost, it Is said,
of £1,000. On Saturday sthe Rev. Father
Mathew, accompanied by the Mayor, went on
board tho frigate, and were received with great
enthusiasm. The yards were manned, and
prolonged cheers were given for “Father'Math-
ew ana the Mayor of Cork,” which were re
sponded to by the people on shore.
The utmost enthusiasm was exhibited by both
officers and sailors towards the Apostle of Tem
perance, who spent some time on board convers
ing with them, and, it is needless to say that be
completely won their hearts by his unaffected
good humor and friendliness.
On Mr. Mathew and the Mayor leaving the
vessel, a boat was manned to convey them to
Monkstown. It was steered by Mr. DeKay,
son of the Commodore, a fine intelligent boy
about 16 years of age.
The Commander of the Macedonian dined
on Saturday with Admiral Sir Thomas Usher,
and yesterday he was to be a guest at the hos
pitable board of the Very Rev. Mr. Mathew.
Proceedings have already been commenced
with a view to show some token of respect and
gratitude to Commodore DeKay, for bis most
noble and praiseworthy conduct In this matter.
The Mayor, in conjunction with some of the
most influential citizens, have determined to
entertain him and his lady by a steam trip round

occasion of his late visit to Cork. At a meet
ing of the corporation to be held on Thursday
an address will be presented to him.

[HY THE HIBERNIA AT BOSTON.]
Extracts of Letters and CirSulare received by Com
mercial Houses in this City:
LIVERPOOL, JULY 16.—There is very little
change in the genoral position of mercantile affairs
since the boginning of the month, except that the
Money market haa become rather more tight, which
aeems to bo owing chiefly to tho largo French loan
coming out, in addition to which, the Railway calls
sum up heavily this month, amounting to £4,100,000
exclusively of the calls on French Rail-rnada, and
it aeema probable that money will maintain a com
parative high value. The foreign exchanges aeem
to have rather a downward tendency, but if la not
likely that much bullion will be required for export.
The amount of bullion in the Bnnk haa latel^de
creased and is now less by half a million than at the
beginning of the month, vix i £10,080,000 and the
reserve of notes haa decreased by £1,300,000, being
now £4,330,000; those reductiont’are chiefly to be
ascribed to the payment of tbe dividends.
Tho weather haa been every thing'that could
have been desired, the heat haa often been exces
sive, and has hastenod on the vegetation in an ex
traordinary manner, accordingly thopromiao on the
ground is very great. There are, however, occa
sional complaints of blight in tho Wheat in aome
quarters, of maggots and lico in othora; and we find
alio the complaints about the potato disease renew
ed in some parts of Ireland. We moat aincerely
hope that thoso indications may only be local, and
that they are not boyond what ia obaerved in almost
every season, for there seldom was a period when
abundant crops wore more needed throughout Eu
rope than during tho present.
The Cotton market experienced a fair demand
last week, vix: 32,300 bags, of which 22,300 bags
wore American, 6,400 baga Surats, and tho remain
der sundries. Speculators took 10,600 bags, and
Exporters 2,000 bags; tho Import was 16,600 bags.
Tho demand was ao freely supplied that prices of
American deacriptiona wore not supported, but de
clined |d. per 1b., whilst Surata kept steady, and
Braxils as well aa Egyptians advanced 4d. per lb.
Wo havo had again a good domand during this
week, particularly since tho arrival of the Cambria,
tho advicea by her bolng looked upon as favorable
to holders. The alight declino in American Cotton
has been recovered, but the market closes without
animation. Our stocks are indeed small, but we
look for largor arrivals during August and Septem
ber, than we have been in tho habit to witness at
this seaaon, the stocks in the United States bolng
heavy, and arrangements being in progress to have
them shipped off. Thus whilst our stocks have
been decreasing during a time when we expect
them to increase, we may witness tho contrary
during autumn.
P. S. JULY 19.—Great apathy continuea to be
the prevailing characteristic of tho different mar
kets. The sales of Cotton during tho last two days
have been 9,600 baga, almost all to tho trade. The
greater stringency in the money market, present
and apprehended, has brought more aellers forward,
and our quotations for American Cotton are no
longer obtainable by |d. per lb.
The weather which had become rather unsettled,
ia again bright and warm ; tho holders of Grain lay
moro stress upon the roport* current about damage
having been done to the crops thnn tho public aeem
to do, and ondoavor to obtain an advance on tho
prico of Flour; butjt has not been paid as far as wo
know. Nothing doing in Indian Corn.
LIVERPOOL, JULY 19,-Tho weather sinco
our last has continued as favorablo as could bo da
shed for the growing crops of grain, which ars
rapidly advancing to maturity, and promia* a in):
vest somewhat earlier Ilian the average of years,—
On tha other hand there are reports of blight and
rust having appeared In tho whoatinaome districts,
which may or may not provo of oonioqnenoe. Tha
orop of beans is .with more certainty considered to
bo injurod by insects, and as to potatoes, accounts
are still very conflicting.
The seasonable feather and heavy foreign sup-
ply have caused Increased dullness in our oorn
market, with aomo farther depression in prices, and
we have now to quoto flour at 32 to 34s. per bbl.
Indian oorn of tbe Best quality haa deolinsd to
42s. per quarter, and inferior parcels free from
damage must be quoted *■ low as 34; a 38a. Indian
corn meal very dull et 19s. a 19a. 6d. per bbl
American wheat 8a. 6d. to 10s. 3d. per 70 Iba. Spe
culative operation still quite impended.
We noticed in our last of 3d Inat. that the ootton
market had dosed heavily that day with a turn in
favor of buyers, and at the oloae of that week the
quotations were reduced }d. per lb.—bat during the
put week the demand was again better with consi
derable purchase! for export, and the above de
cline waa recovered, making our quotation! aa be.
fore—eay for fair Upland and Mobile 7|, and fbr
fair Orleans 7f.
The ealee for the week ended 16th inat amount
ed to 40,160 baiea, or wliioh 11,000 were taken on
epeeulation nnd| 7,500 for export. The American
description! add consisted of 9,470 Upland at 6| a
7}, and 13,380 Orleans at 6| a 8|d., 4,490 Alabama
and Mobile at 64 a 7|d. and 160 Sea island at 13 to
20d. per lb. On Saturday the 17th inat., the busi-
nose waa about 4,000 bales and to-day, about 6,000
without any speculation, and the market more
quiet.
The future course of the market must depend
mainly on the subsequent accounts of the growing
American crop—tbe advioea hitherto being pretty
generally looked upon here aa nearly conclusive
that it will prove a moderate, i(.not a ahort one.
The monoy market baa become moro stringent,
and the foreign exchangee leas ■ favorable for this
country, eo that the rate of interest keeps high, but
without any extreme presaure.
LONDON, JULY 19.-ln our respecte of the
9th inat. per Washington, we had occasion to quote
•n advance of wheat of 2 a 3s. per qr., and since
that time we are again folly 2a dearer. We an-
cloao our reportof thia morning, to which we beg
to add that aome doubta are beginning to be enter-
tiined about the result of tho crops, which hitherto
looked as promising aa possible. We hear of com
plaints about blight in wheat from different parts of
the country, and it appexrathat beans have decided
ly suffered. Should these reporta be confirmed it
may have aome influence on the trade and revive
speculation. In the South harvest operations are
likely to commence toward the end of this month.
LIVERPOOL, JULY 17.—Cotton.—'There has
been a fair demand for Cotton during tho put
fortoight, exporters and speculators being free buy-
era. and the trado taking a moderato supply. The
middling and lower grades are not eo dear aa on the
3d inatant, but the better qualities being wanted for
export bring extreme ratea.
Fair Orleans, 7ld—middling 7d.
Fair Mobiles, 71d—middling 7d.
Fair Boweda, 7|d—middling 6]d.
Grain and Flour.—The weather continues re
markably fine and hot, and moat of the crops well
spoken oft Blight haa been noticed both in the
Potatoes and the Wheat but not yet to an extent
to create uneaaineaa: Beans nearly a total fail-

tonaive acale.

LIVERPOOL—Report/or the Weekending Ju
ly 16—Tho packet ofthe 1st inat. from Boston, «•
rived here on Tuesday last. The accounts brought
by her partake much of the same character aa form
er advicea. Tho deficiency in the receipt* still
continuea, tbe difference now bolna 277,000 bales
less than the corresponding period of last year. The
crop question ia now an nacertainod point; all par
ties agree that 1,800,000 bales will be the foil
quantity. Many opinions are even no.- hazarded
aa to tho extent and prospects of the growing crop,
but on thia head nothing can be fixed with certainty.
The weather, generally, waa spoken of a* being fa
vorable for the young plant; but all accounts agree
that the crop ia aome two or three weeka backward.
Tho news generally haa had little, if any, effect
on our market. Tho business during the week haa
been to a fair extent, but without animation. Hold-
ora meet the inquiry pretty freely, and wo olos*
with no change from the quotations of Friday last.
There hae been a fair demand throughout the week
for export, the chief purchase! being Uplands and
N.Orloans of‘folly fair’ to ‘good’ qualities. 7,600
American, 200 Pernam, COO Egyptian, and 3.000 Su
rat have been taken on speculation; and 4,800
American, 2,200 Pernam, and 700 Surat for export.
Sales for the week 40,160 bales.—George Holt
4* Co.
• Report for July 17 and 19.—The market eince
the 16th inat. haahoen very eteady, but without ex
citement. The aalee ofthe 17th and 19tb are about
9,000 boles .mostly all to the trade. There ia not
any chnnge in prices; the full rates of the 16th are,
however, folly euatained.
HAVRE, JULY 15.—Cottons.—'There ia little
change to notico in the eituation of our market,
eince our preceding circular, although upon the
whole there is ■ hotter fooling manifested within
the last three daya. Tho flatneaa in the demand
that predominated up to the close of tho past week,
was productive of a decline in prices of American
oottona, which receded I a If. 60; but with the
opening ofthe present one, the buying baaaaiuroeda
moro regular character, the aalea amounting io about
1,200 baloa daily, and prices have nearly rscovored
the ground they had previously lost. There hsa,
howevor, been no speculative spirit displayed, tbe
transactions being exclusively for consumption; bat
as the genornl prospects for tho approaching harvest
are of a most encouraging nature, and the declioe
in prices of food ia every whero making rapid pro-
gross, business may be expected to assume a more
animated aspect, and aomo improvements may Is
looked for both in the mercantile and financiil
community.YThis will nevertheless depend in e
great measure on the tenor ofthe advices from the
United Statea by tho Cambria steamer of tho lit
inat., which aro liklely to be conoluaive aa to the
extent of ahipments from the ports or tho union,
