Immediately subsequent to the departure of the last ster mer the markets fully realized the up- ward tendency noticed upon the 3d, and which | was maintained till about the 1th. | At that time the best western canal flour had reached 46s. per bbl. White Indian corn had been quoted at 60s. per quarter, and yellow at 58s. Since then, however, owing tothe extreme favor- | ableness of the weath er, and the promising ap- pearance of the growing crops, the stability of | the market has been materially shaken, | ind the declining disposition clearly evin- | ced; the last three markets had been un- usually dull, and the transactions of yester- day particularly were of an exceedingly limited character. tid They closed with 40s. adls. . for best western canal; Am wheat Ils. a 12s, 3d. per 70 lbs. Indian corn white, 48s. a 52s per uarter, which are the very best quotations to be obtained. Corn meal 24s. a 25s. per bbl.; Phila- delphia and Baltimore flour 39s. a 40s.; Ohio 37s a 38s.; and sour from 33s. to 35s. 6d. ‘The arrivals of wheat from Ireland, either of home growth or foreign returns, during the last fortuight have been very considerable, as also have been the imports from the United States tora week or ten days. Heavy loss has taken place in flour and meal by leakage, which has rendered a large quantity unmerchantable. The rumors of re-appearance of the potato disease, though unconfirmed, have not yet fully subsided, but they do not exercise the smallest influence upon the market. THE COTTON MARKET. The market, though fluctuating in the early partof the month, Las now assumed a steadier aspect, and advanced fully ¢d per pound. The sales for the week ending yeste rday evening, amount to 36,000 bales, of which 5,600 have been taken on speculation, and 4,400 for export. | The American descriptions consist of 7,000 bales of Upland, at 6jd. a 74d.; 12,140 Orleans, at 6jd. a S}d.; Alabama and Mo- } bile, at 6] 74d., and 120 Sea Island, at 12d. | a 18d. for middling, ordinary and fair, and 20d. | a 22d. for fine. | The stock now in port is estimated at 500,000 | bales, against 732,000 last year—the American proportion 1s computed at 369,000 bales, being | 128,000 bales less than it wasthen. . THE PROVISION MARKET. The imports of Beef have been small, and with a light stock a large business has been done—best U.S. prime mess is quoted at 90s. a a 95s. per barrel; ordinary, 81s. a 88s.; mess, 55s. to 60s. per barrel. Pork is more enquired after, and several sales are reported at full prices.— Best U. S. mess is worth, for old, 65s. to 70s. per barrel; new, 70s. to 788.; old prime 54s. to 56s.; new 60s. to 68s. Bacon has been fairly in demand, but fine sorts are scarce; it ranges from long middles, free from bone, in salt, to shoulders, 68s. to 35s. Hains have sold very freely, but the stock issmall. Hams in salt are now imported duty free. Of cheese, there is none in the market, it ha- ving been all sold at full prices; fine U. 8. fetched 52s. to 60s.; middling 45s. to 47s.; ordi- nary 42s. to 44s. Lard has advanced 3s. to 4s. n fine sorts, and 2s. on ordinary qualities, but the market is really bare of fine descriptions, Butter, from the States, is not in demand, the upply from Ireland being sufficient, but fresh butter is bought at good prices. Linseed cake is in good demand at £8. MISCELLANEOUS MARKETS. American wool is scarce; a small parcel of 40 bags of half bred wethers, sold this week at 14g pence per pound Rosin ie dull at Ys. for amber Turpentine is also dull, and quotations nomi- nal. No arrivals of tar. Tobacco is very in- animate. There has been no material alteration in metals.

They will com- mence with a flight of rockets, after which Campbell's favorite band of minstrels will give their representation of negro character in song, choruses, burlesque cachuca, and wit. There are so.ve sweet voices attached to this company, particularly the bass, and they sing in excel- lent harmony. Mr. Conover will next follow in his wonderful feats of posturing, assisted by Mr. Wells, the famous clown from Cook's Circus, who will rest on bie head on a pole fifteen feet high. The singed is neatly arranged, #0 as to seat 2000 persons. The sucond part of the performance will be delayed so a8 to give the visiters an opportunity to witness the fireworks on the public grounds. At mine o’clock there will be a splendid ballin the saloon, under the management of Mr. J. Parker. The room will be tastefully decorated, and it is almost unnecessary to say it will be well attended, as Mr. Parker is known to the citizens to be exceeding); articular as to respectability and order, which is a suf- icient arenes that —— ‘ing will be conducted with the strictest propriety. We wish Bradford Jones every success, a8 he is strenuous in his efforts to please the patrons of his garden. wn assortment of Theatricals. Bowray Turatre.—We can with confidence recom- mend our citizens to visit the Bowery theatre this after- noon and evening. The manager has gone to vast ex- pense, and made every exertion, to put forth amusements worthy of the day we celebrate. Persons who have come from the country to see the sights of Gotham, must not omit the opportunity they will to-day have of witnessing that splendid spectacle the “ Wizard of the Ware,” which created so much furore here when it was roduced. It will be an opportunity they mav never ave again. ‘The afternoon performances will commen ce withthe drama ofthe “ Beacon of Death, or Norway Wreekers,”’ to be followed by, the comic extravaganza called ‘Johnny Atkins, and his vegaee to the Moon” and the concluding e will the comedy ;of “A Hole in the Wall.” Between the pieces, Mr. Hada- way will sing one of his most popular songs; Mr. Hada- way and Mrs. Booth will sing a comic duet, and the splendid orchestra will perform a variety of grand over- tures, The evening performances will commence with the tragedy of the “Castle Spectre, or the Mysteries of Conway ;” previous to which the orchestra will per- form the overture to Massaniello. The comedy of the “Wolf and the Lamb” will follow, and the whole ill conclude with the grand nautical drama, “The of the Wave, or the Ship of the Avenger.” These bills are worthy of the occasion for which they are produced. and be adae: Eig theatre in which they will be per. formed. We again recommend our own citizens, and our country friends, to visit the Bowery. Patmo’s Tneatre.—There will be an afternoon and evening performance here. The programme consists of “ A Husband at Sight,” “ Sketches in India,” “ Richard IIL,” “The Angel of the Attic,’ and the “ Young Scamp.” Between each of the pieces, there will be dancing, singing, and other amusements. The actors and actresses: bog ic He are good comedians. Mrs. Timm, John Dunn, and the other members are great favorites. and no doubt will have an en S. exhibiting the various qualities of their profeasion, before an immense audience. The proprietor, or present lessee, is well kn»wn; and from his extensive acquaintance and con- nection with the members of the bar, there can be no hesitation in soying: to-night’s performance, at Palmo’s, will be strictly legal. We trust the exertions of Mr. Burke, to cater for the public taste,on this glorious an- niversary, will be responded to by the congregation of Pape is, to witness the respective performances of the jay. Garenwicn Tueatae.—It must not be forgotten by our citizens, and particulsrly by such of them as live in the upper part of the Island, that Mr. Preston, late manager of the British Provincial theatres, will open the Greenwich, late Richmond Hill theatre,this evening, with an excellent stock company, for short season. The company comprises sixteen able and talented Iadiet and gentlemen, we mistake not, are capable of perforining every species of thoatrical entertainments in an excellent manner. Wizard the bill put forth is one that em “Virginius,” in which Mr. Addams, the American trage- dian, will take the prinoipal part, and the farce of thr “Pleasant Neighbor.” In the course of the evening the powerful orchestra, engaged by Mr. ; will play » beautiful national overture, and Mr. Wal- ters of Mr. Thompson will sing some comic songs. ‘The manager announces hin determination of making the Greenwich one of the most attractive places of amusements in the city, and we are confident that he will succeed. We will be much disappointed if the of all who will Greenwich can accommodate one apply for admittance this evening. Campseue’s Etmtoriay Senenapens.—Our Newark friends have @ toeat before them to-day, for Camp- | bell’s celebrated band of Ethiopian serenaders will | perform there at 11 o’slock in the forenoon, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

THE RUN FROM LOWELL, MASS., TO PORTLAND, MAINE. U.S. Horet, Poxrtan, Me., July 2, 1847. ‘The President and his numerous suite, with the Mayor of Lowell, and various committees in behalf of Augusta, Portland, and other towns on the route ahead, left the active, busy,manufacturing Lowell this morning at seven o'clock; and without stopping at the intervening towns longer than was necessary to introduce the President and suite to the people, arrived in Portland, 106 miles, precisely at twelve o’clock, passing Haverhill, Plaistow, Lawrence, (in the offing,) Exeter, New Market, Dover, and Saco, and other minor towns on the route, All the way the journey was a continued trumph, the President, at the towns we have named, (except Lawrence in the distance) being received by crowds of people, guns, cheers, ladies bouquets—dedided evidences of the popu- lar satisfaction. At Portland, we had # splendid pro- cession. of the military, fremen, and citizens, which led the President and his extensive suite, including Messrs. Buobanan, Clifford, Burke, Appleton, Com. Stewart, Gov. Mouton, of La., Capt. Steen; of Buena Vista, and alfa Governors, and others, in barouches, around this beautiful ‘city and through it for full three hours. ‘The exhibition of ladies in Port- land, though not so numerous 23 at Lowell, pre- sented a proportion of beautiful faces not even sur- by the city of Baltimore. The Observat on Ntount Joy, on the eastern confines of the city, was hung of flage and signals like Bunker Hill Monument on the dey of the official visit to Charlestown. The young girls of the publicachools, strewed flowers in the way as the barouche of the President came along. Mottos of welcome were hung out from the houses, cannon fired, the bells seta ringing; and along the sea shor where they are excavating the track for the Mon’ railroad, as the Presidont’s carriage meee by, they discharged a salute from the rocks which they were blasting, equal toa salute of jery, numerous frag- ments of granite, some of large size, ying up into the air, and falling into the sea at every discharge. ‘The President dines at the United States Hotel, at four o’clock, and at half past five the boat leaves for Augus- ta.

Respectfull THE DOCTOR. Crry or Santo Domixco, May 24, 1847. St. Thomas, its Appearance within and without—Public Buildings---Columbus House and Dungeon---Colum- bus Wooden Cross—Captain Cressy—Effeet of the American victories—Naked Children, §c. §c. I was glad to get the details of Gen, Taylor's victory; contradictory reports of the event of the battle of Buena Vista, haviug reached here by way of St. Thomas. Let me see what I shall tell you about this place. You have been to St. Thomas. Well. this city looks as much older, old-fashioned and outlandish, then St. Thomas— I was going to say at St. Thomas dock—than New York, and soit does, nearly, except that the style of building is the same in St. Thomas and here. You already know that this is the first city built in the New World, and, really, from the looks of it, one might imagine it was built fa the year “one,” or a little befof® that time, ‘As you approach the town by sea, the first conspicu- ous object is the old time-blackened fort, with its high sig- nal tower, near which last is the dungeon in which Co- lumbus was chained ; and then farther in the town, the huge pile of the old cathedral, a black, ugly-shaped building without, but within very beautiful, in which, by the way, is the large old wooden cross frat planted by Columbus here; and within it, too, beside the grand al- tar, his remains, by his request, were deposited, after being brought from Spain. You know that they have since been removed to Havana. As you get closer to the town, and within the mouth of the ziver, the Ozana, on the west aide of which it stands, you see rising high the massive walls of the castle, built, or rather commenced. by Columbus, (for it was never finished.) Its walls now stand two stories high of massive granite, and trees ot no great size, however, are growing within, whose tops ris above the walla. It was planned as a strong fortress, as well as a princely dwelling. ‘This is the structure, for the commencement of which history, I believe says, his enemies charged him with intending to set up « royal power in defiance of Spain, and which charge, made to Queen Isabella, was one of those that caused him to be arrested, imprisoned, and sent home in chains. Near it. is @ little, old, curious house, said to have first been hi private residence ; and high up in the city, are the ruins of the walls, partly standing, of 8 onoe magnificent house, said, and undoubtedly with truth, to have been his sub- sequent residence, and I am the more inclined to think 40, from its being ‘the only building that corresponds with a dercription by @ writer who lived in those times, which I have seen here, describing the residence of his son, undoubtedly his own too, before, The walls are al- most ready totumble. There sre several cross-timbers. of hard wood I presume, for all wood work here is of ma- hogany, or something equally durable, and | have long had my eye upon some of them ; and’ am determined, some day, when I have more leisure than I have yet had, to get hold of some of them, if they are sound, and can be got without tumbling down the walls, by applying to the proper public minister. Should 1 ever succeed, | promise you some portion, suitable to make some conve- nient article, as a cane, Kc. ‘There are several large churchos here, with extensive buildings and grounds walled in, attached to them, which were once monasteries and convents, part of them in good. preservation—one, however, the largest of them all, is in complete ruins, only the walls left standing, which are very high and standing on high ground, and half covered with creeping vines and trees growing op its broken top, or projections nearer the ground give it a very pleturesque, imposing appearance. I wish I could take a drawing, or a Daguerrean picture of it. The earthquakes and the Haytiens demolished this immense structure, they say, or the latter finished what the for- ther began. It was in very tolerablo repair twenty years ago. Speaking of earthquakes, the last one experienced here in 1842, very much injur evera of the churches of the city,’ most of which have been since repaired, asthe cathedral which suffered much. The city is surrounded with a high wall, like the cities of Kurope, having three gates, one on the west side, leading into the country, and the other two close, or near to each other, on the east side, by the port. You speak of our passage out. We did have a pretty severe time of it, or rather | had, Of our coptain, Walter R. Cressy, 1 would, in this place, say a few words. In ail the relations in which | was placed with him asa passenger, and in all those in which I had an opportunity of observing him, he proved himself to bea true gentleman—kind, attentive, and po- lite; a thorough seaman, as far as I can judge ; a mild, et firm and ool commander. I never saw a man make jess parade in command, or one who was obeyed with more cheerfulness and promptness, We had all kinds of weather, and every thing on that score to try a ship- master’s patience, yet | never heard him utter thejleast oath, speak # harah word, or issue a rough command to his crew, nor could any man be more considerate and solicitous for the comfort of his passengers, or more ju- diciously considerate of the interests of his owners and shippers in all the incidents of a rough sea voyage.— Should you ever see him, please present to him, as also to his mate, my kindest ‘remembranccs, and tell him | regretted much not seeing him, the morning of his leav- ing here, to bid him good bye. I had seen him the even- ing before, and intended being down to ee him off, but Islept late, and when I got up, he wasgone. I regretted it much, for notwithstanding my constant sickness, ex- cept from St, Thomas, there were too many pleasant as- sociations connected with our Intercourse to allow of my feeling otherwise, Success to him! I hope he will soon have a vessel more worthy of him. The weather has been delighttul hero, since our arri- val, and though it is now the commencement of what is d the rainy season, we have had but @ few rainy days, which were droary and chilly, and unpleasant enough. As yet, the heat here is not great—nothing like what it isin’ New York, or our other more Southern cities in midsummer—the thermometer not having been higher than #4 or 85 degrees, and I have seen it as low, early in the morning, as 69 deg., which, however, ic very unusual, The hot and unhealthy season commences in July, and continues through September, when the air is sultry, and there is little sea or land breeze, as it is said, Now we are never, except in the morning, till about 9 o'clock, without a delightful breeze from the sea by day and the land by night. ‘The bright moonlight plghta ars indescribable ; but I forget that you have seen them in these latitudes. The sun is now about vertical at noon, and will soon be to the north of us. which will look rather odd to mo, who have never yet soon it 80. What glorious news from Mexico ! Let those who con- demn the war 1, a8 & good whig, have done #0) know the Mexican character as well as Ido, and they will require to possess no prophetic powers to forsee the immense zeal, ultimate good, this very war and iavasion is going to do'to the Mexican people themselves. These suecesses of our arms against such tremendous odds make the people in this purt of the world view the Awe- ican nation with awe and veneration, although they really sympathize with the Mexicans; for when the re- rts first came, by way of St Thomas, of Taylor's de- feat, and also of our repulse before Vera Cruz, there was almost a jubilee ; but the real facts soon afterwards ob- tained changed the tu much. The fact is, there are few nations on the American continent that do not need some lessons of one kind or another from the Uni- ted States. By the way, one ef the sights that strikes the stranger from our country, oddly enough at first, though | am now Life | quite used to it, is the very general practice of letting the little children, more geuerally the colored ones, go stark naked about the houses and in the streots, from the time they can creep on all fours until they are four or five years old, of both sexes—nothing is more common. The highest touch of the ludicrous, in thie way, is where one of these naked imps has an old palm or Panama hat stuck on the top of his head, without any other article of dress whatever, | wish I bad # Daguer- rean apparatus here, | have some rich sketches to show the natives of the if | ever live to eve home again ‘At St, Thomas, I ascended to the top of the ruinous old “oastle,” or tower of Bluebeard, by means of «ladder insido, as also that of Blackboard, which is in perfect re- pair, ‘From the giddy, broken top. of the former, | gath- ered some were, (sweet ‘end sent specimens to Fa ap - ‘ ) eane Jeft, 1 will send pictabitgeepiendy ‘a8 also of a flower called here “rezida,” beside the wall of ‘one with a stem and faded gree top of Bluebeard’s rg the other, with small yellow- ish blossoms and little round buds, and very stem, ie the one from beside Columbus castle in thiscity. + yan: es Miscellancous. tie Orleans, on ‘aa le by R.

M. tock market during the past week has been ex- ceedingly inactive, and prices have been sustained with great deal of diffoulty. Some ofthe fancies have fluc- tuated one or two per cent, but the closing prices com- pare very fayorably with those ruling ut the close of the week previous, At this season of the year the market is usually quiet, and no very important variations are experienced. There is nothing at present in the pros- pective calculated to produce any permanent depression in prices, and the prevailing impression is that upon the opening of the fall trade, we shall have a very active bu- siness in stocks, and a very material improvement im prices, There is undoubtedly a wide margin for an ad- vance in some of the fancies, and as compromises are the order of the day, we should not be surprised to see some of them suddenly emerge from the obscurity in which they have so long existed, and take rank again among the paying class. Independent of any movement of this nature, there is a steady improvement going om im every public work and in every species of property, so that these stocks are gradually improving in real value, not- withstanding the depreciation of the market value. Holders should, therefore, look closely into the affairs of these concerns, before they submit to sny sacrifice upon their supply. Many of them are much more valuable than they appear to be. ‘At a meeting of the stockholders of the Vicksburg Railroad and Banking Company, held jn Philadelphia on the Ist instant, it was stated that arrangements had been some time in progress to combine the interests of ell parties, aad by compromises to bring the affairs of that institution to a close or to a settlement. It was proposed to apply one half of the shares of the company to the absorption of about three millions of debt. The creditors tosurrender their claims, and receive as an equivalent twenty thousand shares of the stock. More than two millions of the debt have already been surren- dered upon these terms, and about six thousand five hundred of the twenty thousand shares of etock. The Vicksburg Railroad is fifty-four miles long. and is doing a large and productive business. The net profits in 1846 were $73,000. The real estate and the other ss- sets of the Bank have within the past two years im- proved very materially. There is wide margin for an improvement in the management and expenditures of this concern. The salaries of the’ three acrtgnece have for many years past amounted to 24,000 per annum, aud the expenses of the railroad have annually been, it is estimated, $25,000 more than really required. A sav- ing of $45,000 per annum can be saved to the company, by a proper reduction of these items. It remains with the stockholders, whether the above arrangement will be carried into effect or not. The creditors have signified their willingness to receive the stock in payment for their cluims, and as soon as the shareholders surrender the required number of shares the settlement will be made as proposed. The concern will then be completely clear of debt, and its net in- come can be applied exclusively to the payment of di- vidends.; As the bank and railroad now stand, they sre of no earthly benefit to the stockholders, but very profitable to the assignees, who make @ small fortune out of them every year. Some arrangement, some com- promise, similar to that proposed above, will have to be made, before the stockholders ever realize the first oent from their investment, and they had botter dosomething of the kind before the assignees absorb all the assets in the way of salaries, &c. ‘The annexed statement of the trade in China during the year 1846, is taken from an official report to the Britis government. Trade in that purt of the world appears to be in a prosperous condition. Baitisn Trape ix Cuina—1646, Our trade with the Chinese, is still, however, in that state of transition and re-adjustment which was fore- seen asthe probable result of the opening of four addi- tional ports, giving us a direct communication with more than half of the eastern coast line of the empire, and by the cheap water carriage of the Great Ceca the Yang- tse-Kiang and the Yellow River, with its most populous and busy provinces of the north and centre. The dis- turbance and delay of commercial operations neces- bog A incident to the breaking up of old relations and the formation of new ones, have not yet been surmount- ed; and there is also some reason to believe that neither the Chinese nor their barbarian customers have yet ar- rived ata thorough comprehension ef the bearing of their laws and regulations upon their ow» interests. We are both yet struggling slowly towards a knowledge of how The we may ate our intercourse s0 as to make it most profitable to both. Already it seems more than probable that the Chinese government will be compelled to recog- nise the opium trade, if only fort he purpose of obtaining some control over it. The absolute probibition cannot be onforced, and so might as well not exist. Everybody uses the drug; and nobody thinks of enforcing the law against it, exceptas a means of extortion. Andon ourside, the evidence that the British export trade is checked by the high rate of the import duties on teas at home, grows stronger as ouracquaintance with the facts is incrvased. Not that we are inclined to uccept the estimates which bave hitherto been most prominently put forward in this country, of the probable efluct of any reduction of the tea-duty at all compatible with the prevervation of oar revenue system upon its present footing; but the fa- cility with which a demand for tea, gradually increasing in extent, has hitherto been supplied by the Chinese growers, certainly favors the assumption that they would soon meet upon terms profitable to our merchants, such an increased demand on our part as might be ex pected to follow a moderate reduction of the import duty; and even continue the increased supply were another reduction of the duty, and a corresponding increase of our consumption, to be made at the end of a few years. One of the most remar! features of the: present state of British commerce in China is the steady and rapid growth of the trade of Shang-hae, The trade of Canton is stationary, or declining. At Amoy, the first port far her north, it is very slightly increasing. At Foo-chow-foo, still pony = A north, there is now hardly apy trade at all; nor i uy apparent pros- pect of a trade being established t y either English or foreign merchants. At Ning-po, some 1,000 miles north of Canton. the total value of the Imports and ex- for 1846 was only about one-third of their amount But at Sbang-hae, the most northerly of the ports opea to us, the trade is very ra- pidly increasing. and it is now gener ily expected that: that will, in the course of a few years, become the centre of the commercial intercouse between China and Luroy and America.
