The system proposed, will enable the inhabitants of the Southera States of America, particularly those border- ing on the Guif of Mexico and the Missiasippi, to trans- act their sffaire with England without the intervention of agencies, as heretofore, in New York and Boston. In order to complete the new regulations, it will be neces- sary, in the course of the present year, to establish on the Atlantic several additional steamers, which, in con- Junction with those already existing, may be classified ‘as follows:—Cunard steamers, once u’ week, from Liver- pool to Boston and New York. The New Orleans line, above alluded to, once a month, from Southampton to Cat Island Harbor, near the mouth of the Misaiasippl.

In the other cylinder it appears tha piece of brass is all one piece—but that in this case one of the warkmen had cut this piece off ina mistake while the engines were being constructed. and that it was merely put in with «ix small pins, which were insufficlent—thus causing an accident which is very mortifying.

Association FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF Science.— The present year’s meeting has been held at Oxford, and has been hovored by t ecm of Prince Albert, the Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Prince of Canino, the Che x Bunsen, the American Minister, Count Rosen, deputed by the Crown Prince of Sweden to ex- hibit some elaborate maps executed by the latter; Pro- fessor Struve, the eminent astronomer ; Dr. Langberg. Baron de ls Fresn Professor Vansder Hoeven of Ley- den; M. de Verueuil, Professor Nillsonnu, of Lund ; and M. Major, who is now in this country, deputed by the Norwegian government to make inquiries concern- ing lunatic asylums in England, &e. Sir Roderick J. Murchison, at the meeting on Satur- day week, surrendered the presidential chair to Sir R H. Inglis, M. P. for the University, who made an able #pewch on the occasion. The claims of Le Verrier and 1, the Telescope of Lord Rosse, the catalogues of of Lacaille, and the Historie Celeste, were the chief poin’s of his speech on astronomy. Having re- viewed the new discoveries in the various branches of selynce, Sir H. Inglis, in noticing the electric telegraph, sald— ‘The system is daily extending. the United States of America that on @ great scale by Professor Mo: there that it is now already d Lines for above 1300 miles nect those States with Her Majesty's Canadian pro- vinces ; and it is ina course of development #0 rapid. that, in the werds of the report of Mr. Wilkinson to my distingulshed friend, his Excellency Sir W. E. Cole- brooke, the Governor of New Brunswick, to which | have just adverted, ‘No schedule of telegraphic lines can now be relied upon for a month in succession, as hundreds of miles may be added in that rpace of time. So easy of attainment does such s result appear to be, and go lively is the interest felt in its scoomplishment, that it 1s scarcely doubtful thet the whole of the popu- ous parts of the United States will, within two or three years, be covered with a telegraphic network like » ‘aplder’s web, suspending ite principal threads upon im- portant points along the sea board of the Atlantic on one side, and upon similar points along the Lake Frontier on the other. Iam indebted to the same re- port for another fact, which I think the Association will regard with equal futerest. ‘The confidence in the ef- ficiency of telegraphic communication has now become so established, that the most important commercial transactions daily transpire by its means, between cor- respondents several hundred iniles apart. Occular evi- dence of this was afforded me by s communication a few minutes old between a merchant in Toronto and his cor- respondent in New York, distant about 632 miles.’ | am anxious to call your attention to the advantages which other classes also may experience from this mode of communication, as | find it in the same report. When the Hibernia steamer arrived in Boston, in January 1847, with the news of the scarcity in Great Britain, Ireland, and other parts of Europe, and with heavy orders for agricultural produce, the farmers in the interior of the States of New York—informed of the state of things by the Magnetic Telegraph—were thronging the streeis of Albany with innumerable team-loads of grain almost as quickly after the arrival of the steamer at Boston as the news of that arrival could ordinarily have reached them. I may add that, irrespectively of all its advantages to the general community, the system appears to give already a fair return of intereft to the individuals or companies who have invested their capital in its application.” At the concluding meeting Sir R. Murchison, when re- marking upon the presence of foreign literati who had attended, said :—* First, as to America, let us rejoice. that cultivators of science from New York, Pennsylvania Rhode Island, Massachusette, and other States of the Union, have been headed on the eccasion by Mr. Ban- croft. "Let me remind you, gentlemen. that this is the third time we have been honored by the presence of re- presentatives of the United States and that the last who no honored us was that eminent scholar, Mr. Eve- rett,who now worthily presides over the Cambridge Uni- versity of New England On this occasion we have bad among us the accomplished individual who unites in his own person the historian and representative of bis coun- teymen. ‘and who specially loves to dwell upon the deeds of their ancestors, our common fathers.’ The next meeting of the association will be held on the 9th of August, 1848, at Swans: » Financial Intelligence: [From the London Times, July 3.)

'The Corn' Trade ot Europe. [From the Mark Lane Express, June 28.) ‘Though the weather bas not been altogether favor- able during the week, we hear of no complains respect- ing the appearance of the ovina rain crops; indeed, the reports from the agricultural counties generally, speak well of our fature prospects, and the only harm that bas been done by the h vy rains which have fallen, has been retarding the carrying, and, in some cases, damaging the hay crop. With regard to potatoes, the accounts continue of a very conflicting eharacter; and though it is i y certain that the disease of the last two seasons has reappeared in certain localities, in other parts of the country the plant looks very pro- mising; and, in our opinion, the indications of the dis- order are not so manifest as to lead to well founded fears of so serious a failure as many purties seem to appre- hend. The enormous importance of the potato crop has been fully proved this year; for tnere can be no question that the loss thereof has hud more to do with the high prices of provisions, thanany serious deficienc in the yield of wheat. The! future value of grain will, therefore, im @ great measure, depend on whether the blight again proves asdestructive as it did in 1845 and 1848, or not—a matter which cannot possibly be decided on for some time to come. The generally auspicious reports relative to the corn cro} id the appearance of large supplies of bread stuffs from abroad at the prin- cipal maritime ports, have bad the effect of causing a de- cided unwillinguess on the part of buyers to purchase beyond what has been necessary for their immediate wants; and though the deliveries of grain from the home yrowers have undergone little or no increase, prices of most articles have receded materially at ali the leading incial markets held since our last. arrivals into Liverpool have been immense, and on ‘Tuesday it was found impossible to make progress in sales, even at considerably reduced terms. Wheat w then quoted 6d. per 70 lbs; barley, beans, aud peas 2 Indian corn 3s. to 42, per qr., and oats 2d. per 45 lbs lower than on thut day se’e1 ht. Later in the week afurther small decline had to be submitted to, and on Friday western canal flour, which was on the previous market day etill worth 403; was freely offered at 30s. per bbl. without meeting with much attention. At the chief consuming towns in Yorkshire, the trade has also become extremely languid. At Hull, on Tues- day, on increased quantity of wheat was shown, which sold slowly at an abatement of 38. to 4s. per qr. ani at Leeds lower terms had likewise to be taken before any progress could be made in the disposal of either English or foreign wheat. The advices from Bristol, Birmingham, and other mar- kets in that neighborhood, are of as similar character, At the chief 6] ipping ports on the east coast, depend- ingentirely on the farmers for supplies, much more firmness been shown. Neither at Spalding, on Tuesday, nor Boston, on Wednesday, was any disposi- tion evinced to accept less money, and at Lynn wheat was actually held 1s. per qr. er; the demand was. however, very slow at euch of these places, ana the | business done unimportant. From Scotland we learn that the grain crops were pre- greasing favorably; but there, as with ur, there was a good deal of talk aboat the reappearance of the potato disease: this had, however, failed to produce much im- pression, and prices of wheat had receded 2s. to 3s., and those of spring corn 1s. to3s., at Edinburgh, Glasgow, and other large markets. ‘The accounts from Ireland respecting the potato crop, are fully as contradictory as they were last week, and the news from thence leaves the matter in the same state of doubt as before. Meanwhile, large supplies of foreign corn have arrived at Cork, and prices have grven way in the Irish markets rather more than on this side of the Channel. iy ‘We have again to report avery «mall arrival of Wheat coastwise into London, only 1.499 qra.baving come to haad during the week ending this (Saturday) evenin; The quantity brought forward at Mark Lane by land- ¢ samples,from the neighboring counties,has been equally unimportant: indeed there was scarcely any- thing fresh up either on Wednesday or Friday, the show 1 Fasex, Kent and Suffolk stands consisting of that portion of Mon supply then left unsold. Under these circumstances factors have not been disposed to make any concession ; and though the millers have con- ducted their operations with the utmost caution, the necessity for employing a proportion of fresh-thrashed English for mixing with the foreign of inferior qualit (of which there is now an abundance on the market) hag obliged them to pay the rates demanded. On the whole, there was rather less doing towards the close than in the commencement of the week, and purchasers were enabled to buy on quite as moderate terms on Friday as before. The supply of Wheat from abroad has been liberal, having con: of no less than 58,675 qra. ; it however, be recollected that our granaries were pty. 8 fow we oke ago, th the consumption of end its suburbs is upwards of 20,000 qrs. per week in Wheat and Flour, and that the receipts of English have been very insignificant for months past. If, therefore. anything like an sctive country demand should spring up (which is not unlikely.) the foreign ar- rivals, even if they should continue on the same liberal scale, would not prove much too for our wants. Many of the cargoes from the Blaek Sea and other dis- tant ports, besides being of inferior quality, have come to hand in bad order; and these will have to be landed and re- stored to something like condition before theycan beused Really good Wheat, particularly the finer sorte, from the Baltic, have met with a fair share of attention; the do- mand’ has, however, been freely met by importers, who are naturally anxious to avold landing expense turn has, consequently, been in favor of the bu 8 parcels of good’ Danzig were sold. on Wedn day, at from 82s. to 83a, and the best might then have hoen purchased at 868, to 888 per qr. ; since then sellers have endeavored to obtain « further concession, und there was in consequence less doing on Friday. In quotations of town-made flour, no change has taken place, but the sale of the article has been much inter- fered’ with by the comparatively low rates at which American has been offered ; of the latter upwards of 36,397 barrels have arrived during the week, and con- siderable anxiety has been manifested to sell from on board. The very best brands of Western Canal bave been offered at 44s., and secondary sorts at 408, per bbl. ‘The market has been moderately supplied with Eng- lsh Barley, only 355 qrs having been reported ; but from abroad 11,617 qrs. have come to hand. . ‘The trans- actions in this grain have been on quite a retail scale ; and it is not improbable that the sale of grinding quali- ties will be materially circumscribed for some time to ome. as the prices asked for the inferior and out-of. conditioned parcels of Indian Corn lately arrived will bring this article into competition. The little Barley which has changed hands since Monday has been parted with at rates which would not thea have been accepted. Malt has hung very heavily on hand, and to have suo- ceeded in disposing of any quantity lower rates must have been taken. The supplies of home-grown Oats have begn on the same seanty nature a previously ; from our own onast only 316 qra., from Scotland none, and trom Ireland 836 qrs. have come to hand ; having. however, received up- wards of 21,891 qrs. from abroad, the smallness of the home supply bas not been felt, and, so far from any rally having occurred, the tendency of prices has been stea- dily downwards.

Beans and Peas have been almost wholly neglected this week, and it has become nearly impossible to gl correct quotations : but that these articles might have boon bought cheaper at the close than in the begivning of the week Is orrtain. Indian Corn has been preasingly offered at rates which have at‘longth caused it to attract some slight attention, and a few retail lots haye changed hands at 483, to 508, per ar. ‘The reports from the Mediterranean are exceedingly dull this week. At Murseillos @ perfect panic appears to have been caused in the corn trave by the extent of the arrivals from the Bla°k Sea, and the sudden ceasa- tion of the British demand, Letters from thonce of the 19th inst. inform us thet JOdesoa Wheat had been freely offered at 428, and the best Volish at 44s. per quarter, free on bounty but the anxiety to sell was then not quite 80 great as it previously been. g offere Letters from Leghorn, of the 15th June, state that the crops in Itely yere yeey premising, and Wag bervest supply there was a decreased demand; and though fuc- tors were willing to aecept prices 6s to 8% por qr., and in some cases 108 below those of that day. week, they could not sucveed in clearing the stand ‘oreiga wheat was likewise very diffcult of disposal; and we must reduce quotations of the latter quite as much as those of the for- mer. The millers put down the top prize of flour to 70s pr sack, and American flour was at least 2s per bbl lower than on Monday last. Beans ‘were, in consequenoe of large foreign arrivals, offered 28 to 38 per qr. cheaper Poas were obtainable at a deoliio of 1s to 2s per qr, and Indian Corn waa wholly neglected. On the 30th the trade continued to rule exceedingly dull, in no respect recovering the depression above noted, buyers all keep- ing completely on the reserve; prices were therefore merely nominal. The market held on the 2d instant was very quiet, and wheat sold at a reduotion of 6s per r. Oats are 18 to 2s per qr. cheaper, and Blow sale at this decline; Russian ‘oate taking the lead, and other sorts only establishing a comparative value. | Most of the beans are ordered to be landed, and appear to bein firm hands. But few transactions were reported in other grain, the market being more of & nominal character; but holders firm as could reasonably be expected, and looking for an early arrival in the demand. Livenroo.,—Since the sailing of the last West India steamer, the trade in all sorts of grain and grain pro- duce has been most inact This been caused by the large arrivals of breadstuffs which have been pouring in from America and the continental ports of Europe, At the markat heldon the 18th, there wasa moderate retail demand for most of the leading articles, but at very irregular prices. A decline generally was submitted to of 2d. to 3d. per bushel on wheat, 2a, per bushel on oats, 2s, per quarter on Indian corn, 28 per barrel on Indian corn meal, and 1s, per barrel on Ameri- can four, On the 22d a fulr extent of business was done in wheat, at a decline of from 4d. to 6d. per bushel from the extreme rates of the 15th. There was avery large show of samples of Indian corn, but more than three-iourths of it was unfit for purposes of human food. Of choice yellow there was little offering, aud the best samples brought 49s. per 480 lbs., which is about 4s, per quarter lower than last ‘Tuesday. Indian corn meal was selling at from 2ls. to 24s, per barrel. There was raather # large business done in barrel flour, and 40s. per barrel was taken in quantity tor West- ern canal. but for small parcels 1s. per barrel more was obtained, Irish and English flour was 3s. per sack lower. A further decline of 2d per bushel on wheat was submitted to on the 25th. Choice samples of Indian corn brought an advance of Is per qr, but only a limited business was dot On the 29th there was a middling attendance of the trade, and an unprecedent- edly large show of samples of all kinds of grain and flour. ‘The market was ss depressed us possible, and prices were very considerably lower. ‘Tho sales made of wheat were at & decline of 1s per 70 Ibs, and in several instances Is 6d less was taken than those of that day week. Barle: was 1s per 60 1b lower. Egyptian beans offered at ri per 480 lhs. Peas were not asked for. Very good white indian corn was sold at 40s, and prime yellow, in retail, at 428 and 44aper 420 Ibs. Indian corn meal realised 2 per barrel. eastern canal flour offered at 37s, and ( nadian at 368 per barrel, and the transactions were very circumscribed. The weather is now very warm and seasonable. On the 2d our market was tolerably well attended both town and country millers were extremely inactive, and all descriptions of British as well as foreign wheat, therefore, met a very dull limited sale at a decline from our last quotations of 4d to 6d per 70 lbs. Flour being offered at a further wbatement of 28 to 28 6d per barrel, induced a rather better demand, Western brands obtaining 34s 6d to 36s per barrel, and other qualities on proportionably low terms Indian corn commanding a fair degree of attention, nearly supported our last quota- tions; and corn meal, being the more saleable, was the turn dearer, Averace Price or Grain. te av’rage of 6 weeks... 9110 54 0 94 6 70 8 58 5 59 2 0 0 Tue Prices or Breavsturrs at Liverroot, Juy 3.

Havre, June 23 —Wheat and Flour.—Notwithstand- ing the fluctuations in most of our internal markets, and the decliae that has taken place in England, prices of flour have undergone but very’ ittle alteration since our last report, and although the amount of imports has been considerable, the effect produced has hitherto been of comparatively little importance. The transactions, however, have not been extensive, consisting only of 11,- 000 bbls, as follows :—New York and Genesee, in locc, at 51 to 63f; New Orleans, in loco, at 60 to 51f, and to ar- rive in the course of this month, at 48 50 to 69f per bbl We now quote New Orleans, in loco, at 60f, and New York at 5if, For delivery in July a concession of 1 50 to 2f could be obtained on these quotations. About 4000 bbis damaged were run off by auction at 33 to 50f per bbl. During the past week prices of wheat have expe enced an advance. The sales effected were 13,000 heo- tolitres, say, New Orleans and Philadelphia at 93 to 95f, Danish at 98 to 96f, and Dansio at 98 to 100f per sack of 200 kil. At s public sale held, 6300 bags New Orleans, ina ted state, were offered, but tl hole was with- drawn at 80f 26c. Some lots of rye were run off at of 25e to 69f 750, but the remainder was withdrawn from the auction. The imports were 71,196 bbls flour, 29,679 bags wheat, 13.542 bags rye, from the United States, and 7 cargoes wheat from the Baltic, the Mediterrane- an, ke June 80.—The propitious state of the weather, coupled with the promising appearance of the corn crops, have given a downward tendency to prices of bread-stuffs, which were in a drooping sondition in all our markets, as well as in the English ports. ‘The sales in flour amount to 8500 bbls. at £60 down to 47 for New Orleans. in logo, and f51 down to 48 per bbl. for New York and Geneseo, The! latter, deliverable in July, were sold yes- terday at f 46 76 to 46 60 per bbl. in bond.

It is to be feared that the high prices obtained on this market last season will lead to some serious mistakes on the part of buyers at the shipping ports during the sent year. It would uppear that shippers cannot too frequently be reminded that the duty and charges press alike upon the extremes of high and iow quality; that the former amounts to 6# od cwt., and on that out of condition, the latter will in fact exceed the charges incurred upon extra and select- ed parcels. which meet at all timvsa speedy market—347 firkins of Canadian Butter have been imported since our last, and sold at 658 6dfto 69s.

Stock of good and fine quality is getting bare, and held at firm prices.—In Kentucky Leaf and Strips the principal sales of the month have consisted ; and, as before observed, have been very limited; the market has assumed a firmer tone, and smaller ad- vance has been submitted to, in 6ne or two instances ; seme holders speak confidently of higher prices in prospective, and it is. not improbeble that their views may be realised, but for the present we have not deemed it nec: to alter our quotations.

Guasaow, July 1,—We had occasion in ourjeiroular of the lst May, to notice s most severe tightners in our m0- ney market; this, during the month, continued to in- crease, and for a time business operations were nearly at astand still. We belicve that there never was #0 great a pressure before felt in this country. and had it not been for the shortners of its duration, it must have been attended with most serious consequences to the merean- tile community generally. As it is, however, payments have been met with extraordinary punctuallity, and_w: have had very few failures of any consequence. The present fine weather, giving, as it does, promise of an early and abundant harvest, bas caused an improved feeling in business generully; and sbould our present antlcipations be realized, we trust soon to see a return of prosperity :—-Ashes—Freo: United States pot, per cwt, 308 to 329 Gd; do perl 208 Oilseed Caks, free—-American, per ton, £9 10s.

Ashes continue in demand, the import being light, as also sre the stocks on hand; Montreal pots would readily find buyers “to arrive,” at 328 percwt. We think thet $2eand 3s will be the ruling rates for some time to come. Provisions still continue in good demand; and prices are high, especially for beef, which is exceodingly soarce in this market, 90 much so indeed. that ships hnve had to send round to Liverpool for their stores. Grain and Flour—The fluctuations in the prices of bread stuffs have been so great during the last two months, and, with such apparen‘ly slight grounds, that we feel quite at a loss what opinion to give as to how they may rule forthe future. For the next two months, at least, the price of grain must entirely depend upon’ the weather, and the reports from the interlor of the country, as to the proep-ste for the crops, both of grain and potatos; should these be good, priees will probably be depressed considerably below what they are at present : indeed, should the harvest be well got in, the reaction in the feelings of corn speculators will probably be s0 great, as to render flour and wheat tor a time, almost unsaleable, at any price. We however still incline to the opinion, that with the most abundant harvest over produced, we shall need large sup- plies from abroad, as the whole of Great Britain ‘under corn cultivation will by no means produce sufficient food for the supply of ovr population without potatoes, and these, besides, only being planted in much smaller quan- tities than usual, will undoubtedly this aeason again be moro or Jess affected with disease; we therefore think, that however low the prices of Wheat and Flour may go, in the meantime, that towards next winter they will rule moderately high, and thet purchases at alow figure in the United States, if held six or eight months, must re- sult well. Indian’ Corn—The demand for Indian corn is now almost entirely dependent upon wheat and flour. The stocks in the hands of the needy importers beieg lees, however, the price has not given way to the samo extent; with a harvest in this country, the price of this description of food must, we think, rule very low, as we have reason to expect a very heavy import from th United States next season, as the whole surplus produc- tion, which this year we are led to suppose will be much = ing supplies are | month twere greater than last, will probably flud its Kets Cotton—Although cotton has, at times, during the last two months, been most difficult ofsale, it hus never- theless sustained ite piotia an astonishing manner, and within the last tortnight has been gradually advancing. ‘The future prospects for cotton d, in @ great mea- avre, upon hi w the price of food tule. Should this latter continue to decline, it will probably advance to some extent; although must covfess,we are by no means canguine of any material advance, so long as the manufactring interests are losing money. The stocks of cotton in Glasgow show & material reduction as oom- pared with lust year, being, at this date, only 27.891 bales rican, against 65,665 at the same period of 1646. 8 us to suppose, that unle.s the import direct after this time, be much givater than we have reason to anticipate, prices must, for the remainder ef the sexaon, rule higher here than in Liverpool, the expense of get~ ting it round being fully 4d per 1b. The consumption of cotton this year in Glasgow will, we think. prove fully equal to the last, as few of the mills have been working short time, Havre, June 30.—Cottons.—During nearly the whole of this week. our market has exbibite i a want of ani- mation. the only exception occurring towards the close of it. when a sudden revival was manitested ia the de- mand, and the transactions were to a fair extent for consumption. ‘The absence of epeculstors hud contri- buted to the previous flatness in business, which, under the favorable intelligence from Evgland and the United Stat ‘ight have been expected to assume a certain degree of activity; and this was more thao likely to have been the caso, as the decline in Wheat and Flour everywhere, which in some parte haa bewn ¢ nsiderable, added to the general appearances of plentiful Corn crops, were culculated to impart @ more than ordinary spirited character to the buying. Notwithstanding, however, these encouraging prospects, the operations have been restricted to the immediate wants for spin- ners; dealers from the trade conte refrain from pur- chasing beyona these, which can only be accounted for by the bad effeots produced in the interior from the re- cent failures, and the apprehensions offfurtber derangs- ments tuking place, in ocousequevee of the continued fall in all the Grain markets. But alt jh tavre is at present no speculative feelin . the confidence of holders appears to be uni xf ‘and to this may be wholly attributed an advanoe of f 1 on ordinury and in- ferior American Cottons, prices of which hare been foreed up by the firm attitude they have evinoyd Ashes —There tno change to notice iu the sitaation of our market, whieh is still devoid of notivity, We quote American Potash. new, at 40f and old at 44f, per at duty (f.8.25) paid.
