Bomear, May 20.—We have to ness in out import market since the ure of the Ixst mail, and the transactions are but of a limited ex- tent. Cotton Manufactures—The inquiry from dealers has been confined to gray and bleached jaconets of low to middling qualities, but the sales in them have been Very trifling. and the demend has now dropped Some sales have been effected in afew other descriptions of goods, but at very low prices, for the @ of clearin, off rempants of shipments before thi set in, an their cheapnegs has been an inducement the dealers to purchagy on apseuiation. Cotton Yarn—In gray we bear only of # sale of 20,000 1b. No. 30 mule at 73% an. nas perlb., but in water nothing has been done. In dyed there has been # eale of 1200 1b of Turkey red, average 508 in 12 1b bundies,at Ir 11a per Ib, Woollens continue noglected as before, nota single ale that we are aware of having been effected. Cochineal—Thie article con- tinnes in very great request ior transmission into the in- terior, and an arrival would readily fetch ra per Ib, if not more; but a considerabie decline in the price must be looked for a8 soon as the rainy reason sets in. Exports.—Cotton Wool—The excitement that pre- vailed during the early part of this month amongst pur- chasers tor China appears to have subsided, as we hear but of very few parchiasee having been made during the woek, und the prices ofthe staple are exhibiting a down- ward tendency Present quotations are—Broach and Surat, 93 to — rupees er candy; Dhollera, 82 to 86 do; Oorarawutty, 85 to 86 do; Compta, 65 to —do. Thenew crop baa continued to arrive freely. Under date of Ma; 12, our report of cotton runs thus:—The accounts whic! came to handfrom China just as we were closing our last report having been confirmed by the intelligence received per mail afew days afterwards, the market has remained very firm, and extensive purchases have been made of this staple for shipments to that quarter, com- paratively little having been done for Great Britain. A liberal supply of cotton and the high rates of freight have, however, been a check upon prices. Several large pattimas, loaded with Compta cotton, are reported to have been lost in the late gale, Carcutra May, 8 —Imports.—The farther improve- ment in this branch trade, anticipated in our last, has not yet been decidedly manifested as re- gards the extent of sales, Still, however, sever- Ql steples are more inquired for, and for some an advauve could be obtained, so that we still think rket will gradually recover its late depression, a8 the time for the opening of the river approaches. ' In cotton piece goods business hus been in some measure checked by the firmness shown by the holders, who are now manifesting an indisposition to realise the low makes of plain cotton, such as shirtings and jaconets, both blenched and grey, for which the principal demand exists, wt the rates demanded a short time back, and which dealers now seem inclined to pay: for other fab- ries the market is in much the same positionas when we last, wrote. Exporte.—Indigo.—We have not heard of any late trausactions, and as what little now remains on hand is almost exclusively of low quality, it appears probable that the greater portion of it will remain over for next year. Exported to North America, from the lst of No- Vember, 1548, to the 6th of May, 1847, 881 chests 2982 fy. mds. Sugars.— But little bas been done for shipment, the new Benares having as yet arrived to a most i cant extent ; for this, however, there and the few small parcels which hi ket found ready sale at 9r. 81. to 9r. 12a per maund ; alsngst ail other desoriptions have been taken exclusive- y for local refinement, with the exception of Gurpatty date, which is still going forward at about 7r. 6a to 8a yer maund. Saltpetre.—The market has been quiet, the demand having fallen off considerably even for America, whilst for Great Britain there appears no probability of business being resumed until holders can be induced to submit a further decline, which the moderate stocks as yetenable them to resist. Rice. —We have nothing new to report, basiness for all parts continuing on a moderate ecale, without variation from quotations. Silk.—Arri- vals of new have been on a moderate scale during the week, and we have heard of but few operations in it. with the exception of some very superior hurrypaul, which is said to have brought Sr. 8a. to 6r. 12a. per seer; the bund is now said to have proved unusually ehort, an the dilatory manner in which it is coming to market ap- pears to confirm this. Canton, Arum 24—Imports,—Sales heve been made to only ® small extent with difficulty, and at reduced quotations. As usual we make a comparison of the tcunsactions at the same period last year; and in the present tostance the contrast gives a correct estimate of the injury done to British trade, notwithstanding an: statements from embryo diplomatists to the contrary ef fect that may reach home by the present mail. We have to report the following transactions during the month—from 224 ult to 18th inst. inclusive. The quo- tatious are duty included, that 4, pald by the importer. The import duties are about 5 to 7 per ent only on the value of most goods: Cotton Goods—Knglish grey long cloths, 39 yards by 87 to 40 inches. 4500 pleces at $2 7 per piece; 1270 at $2 72; 2020 at $2 66; 5400 nt $2 62; 1020 at $2 60; 840 pieces, weighing 6JIb., at $2 75; 1500 pieces, Sib, at $2 89; 1500 pieces, 6&lb., at $2 39 per continued dull- piece Total, 17,930’ pieces Last year, samo period, 23 020 piece 2 05 to $2 66. Cotton Yarn—We have not heard of uw single sale. The stock in Chinese hands is rather heavy, and they are disinclined to make further purchases, anticipating that Britieh troops may again shortly make thelr appearance in the provincial city, and tbat property may not be so much respected as on e the recent ion. American Gooda—’ only sale reported to us 1# 2000 pieces: grey drills, 30 yards 30 inches, at $2 42 per }, being at last month’s quotations — I Lust year at the rem 4000 pieces at $2 61 to $2 62 per Woollens have participat od in the general absence of demand, and may be quot- ed « sbade lower, except for long ells, the stock of which is becoming low; company’s standard scarlet would rea- dily command $12 per piece.

In other articles of im- port no changes of consequence to note. Exports—Sugar—The crop of new sugar, which was expected to break at about $3% to $4, has come into the market at a higher rate than was anticipated. The first purchases were made at $4}, and aince the arrival of overland es to the 26th of January, from Eng- land, bringing accounts of the relaxation of the law rela- tive to the Speed of sugar in breweries, &o.,in con- sequence of w! some speculation was probable, the ne hae are ope) in maki: pemhentss and now rel engage for any large quantity. There being no tonnage disposable at resents ins obstacle in the way of those who are inclined to purchase; and as the rates quoted in China continue high, it is not at all likely that vessels will come here in search of freight for some time. The price of Zebu Sugar has advanced a little, and the last purchases made were at $3% per picul. The de- mand for this description of sugar for the Australian markete is quite active, and itis readily purchased as it comes in. ‘The high price of the current clayed sugar prevents the substitution of crude Pampanga sun-dried for the Zebu. ‘The latter kind has been exported to some extent lately, and would be in Sey cer vag the high < demanded count ce the M7 bere too high, and the excitement now prevail- ing in the market is an addi impedim+ nt to pur chasers. Hemp—The English quotations of January have rendered the holders of article firm, and purchases have been made to arrive at from $4 to $434 The de- mand for the American market is brisk, as is usually the case at this season. The want of tonnage will act as a check upon much spect ion in shipments of thisarticle at present. Indigo—The large stocks have been little diminished, and of the ordinary qualities there still re- mains a very large quantity on hand, with no present de- mand. Rice is in some request for shipment to the East Const of China, the present prices being about $14; to $1% Yor the ordinary shipping quality, on board. For Europe it is probable that the demand would be active enough to cause a rise upon t bove quotations, were it not that the same obstacle which lies in the way of Su- gar and Hemp speculation applies also to Rice—want of vessels on which to ship it. Any which may come here in search of freight arelikely to meet with ready despatch and high rates. State of Tradeia the Manufacturing Districts. he various reports which have reached us from the inanufacturing districts of Tagiend since the 16th ult are of # more cheering and satisfactory character than we have published for some months past. At Manches. ter things are much improved, both goods and yarn are more sought atter, and better prices paid. The ex- tent of foreign orders is increasing, and a considerable improvement has taken place in the numbers ef persons employed in mills T! are more buyers in the Roch dale nel market, and a better ing prevails. Ac- counts from Huddersfield state that fine goods of new patterns are in request, and low goods have found pur- chasers for next winter’s trade. Considerable business has been dene amon; woolstaplers. Letters from Leeds inform us that there is an improving market there both iu the oloth halls and warehouses. Light tweeds aud fancy cloakings are in good demand, as well as the lower descriptions of eloth. The low weollen trade of Halifax is reviving, and prices have improved, there being a fair demand for the American market. Our cor- respondent at Bradford reports that in the plece market the demand for goods suited for autumn is tolerably ac- tive, and the home houses are Kros fo fair business. The state of the hosiery and lace trades at Nottingham is. we regret to say, in @ very discourrging state, and hard| any prospect of an immediate improvement. At Le{- cester, however, there is a tendency towards a renewed trade; some houses have partially set on their hands again. s Theatrical. Bowrny Tueatne.—Mr. C. Burke, of the Philadel- phia Theatre, will make his first bow to a New York au- dience this evening, at the Bowery Theatre. The pieces to be performed are “Richeliou, or the Conspiracy;” the comedy of “Ole Bull,” for the first time in this city, and the comedy of the “ Spectre Bridegroom, or a Ghost in spite of Himself” The entertainments promise well. ‘and will fill the house as fulty as will be comfortable, Caste Ganpex.—This evening, the famed Herr Cline goes through his graceful and astonishing performances on the corde tendue, ‘The daring and skilfal acte of this gentleman are admired by every one who has seen them. The talented and favorite vaudeville company will sp- pear in the comidietta of “Turning the Tables; Jack Humphries by Mr. Holland, and Jeremiah Bumps by Mr. Walcott; and the interesting and very promising young notrens, Mies Clarke, will sustain the part of Patty Lar- kins. The dancing’ of the Misses Welle and La Petite Maryanne is excellent; and Miss Phillips in her singing is very much admiredshe has good voice, a simplieit, of style, and modest demeanor, which are valuable requi- sites in a singer. This performance, together with a peep from the balcony. at the Chinese Junk, will be sure to attract a large audience.

From the interest which this new enterpriso has excited, and the deservedly high reputation of the company, we have no doubt that the house will be filled to overflowing.

In addition to the yooal com- pany, Mr. Bradford Jones bas engaged the celebrated Mons. Delacroix, a distinguished artist from France, who will exhibit his Mechanical Automata Lilliputian Figures. Those automata perform all the functions of vitality, and this exhibition is interspersed with musical and vocal performances, which must necessarily draw Ferpectable houses.

As we anticipated, the accounts, in a commer- cial point of view, are highly important and fa- vorable, and in a political point of view highly interesting. The decline in breadstufis we ex- pected, and have not, therefore, been disappoint- ed; and the advance in cotton has not surprised us, as such a movement was sure to follow a downward movement in flourand grain. It is impossible to tell what changes may take place from time to time in the appearance of the grow- ing crops in Great Britain or on the Continent; but we know that if the harvests come in as f vorably as is now generally anticipated, there will be an end to high prices,’for this season «' least. We cannot, however, safely calculate upon the harvest untilit has been secured—until it is beyond the many dangers which growing grain is subject to while standing on the ground; and it would be best to wait until everything in the shape of grain has been housed, before we make any estimates as to the probable yield. The accounts relative to the potato crop are very contradictory. According to one authority, there is not the slightest appearance of the rot, and the prospect for a fair yield is very flattering; while, on the other hand, authorities equally high, give a different report entirely. It is well known that the rot, or whatever it may be called, to which potatoes for the past two or three years have been subject, does not show itself in every instance in the growing crop, but in most casi in the potato, after it is harvested. It appears that potatoes which are apparently perfectly sound at harvest, have been completely destroyed by this disease after being carefully laid down, and every precaution taken to guard against in- jury. It will therefore be seen that the healthy appearance of the growing crop, or even at har- vest time, is no indication of the absence of dis- ease; and it will be the safest way to take it for granted that there will bea deficiency of this vegetable, and govern ourselves accordingly. It is several weeks before the principal har- vests of the United States comes round, and there may be a very important change in the ap- pearance of the growing crops within that time. It would require a very general injury to our crops to have much influence upon the aggregate production; whereas, in Great Britain, the danger is much greater, and the effect of unfavorable weather much more serious than in this coun- iry. Our territory covers so many degrees of latitude and longitude, that we have no fears of a general destruction of our crops; while in Eng- land what affects one section, affects the whole. The decline in prices for breadstuffs in Great Britain, within the past two months, is the beet indication of the prospects relative to the har- vest. Flour fell off from the middle of May to the first of July 16 shillings per barrel, and corn 18 shillings per quarter. Prices have now be- come reduced to a point where they started, and were it not for the probabilities that the crops in this country will exceed those of any previous year, we should say that they were low enougl but under the circumstances, we think they will yet reach a lower level. In consequence of the exorbitant prices for breadstuffs, which have for the past year ruled in Europe, all departments of industry have been restricted, more or less. The cotton manufacturers particularly have been serious suf- ferers, and have been compelled to suspend, ina measure, their operations. This has had a ten- dency to depress prices of the raw material, even in the face ofa diminished crop. The reduction in prices for breadstuffs will have a favorable in- fluence upon cotton spinners, and prices for the raw material must advance. This will more than offset any loss to us, produced by the fallin flour and grain, and produce greater activity in the manufacturing districts of Great Britain. We anticipate a steady advance in this staple on both sides of the Atlantic. The London money market was rapidly im- proving, and ina short time all traces of the re- cent disasters in the financial and commercial circles, will be obliterated, and prosperity will again gladden the hearts of all. We have given in our columns to-day, interest- ing special despatches from Madrid, Berlin, Payis and Dublin, containing details of all the politics! movements emanating from the countries in which these cities are located. They will )« found highly entertaining to the general reader The English and French have been engaged in hostilities with the Chinese, in Canton and Co chin China, and a great number of lives, on the part of the Chinese, sacrificed. The particulars of these engagements will also be found under the appropriate head in the foreign news. If the Washington left Southampton on her day, the 10th inst., she wall be due about Thurs- day, and will bring six days later intelligence from all partsof Europe. Tux Drericucties in Catirornia.—We would really like to know who is the Governor of Ca- lifornia. We were given to understand at one time thatGen. Kearny held that office, having been appointed by the government, and in pur- suance of the authority vested in him, had is sued a proclamation for the government of the territory, and ordered Col. Fremont to Monterey. This we received by the ship Sterling, which arrived at Boston last week. Later news, how- ever, from that part of the continent, puts anew aspect on affairs there. We now learn that Col. Fremont was acting as governor, the extent of the powers.of General Kearny and Commodore Stockton remaining in dispute. The query then is, who is Governor of California? We. re- peat, we would like to know who is Go- vernor of Californiv. Whether General Kear- ny is, with his commission to act as sueh in his pocket from the Government, or whether Col. Fremont, the appointee of Comuwodore Stockton, 18? The miserable state of things which this dis- pute occasions is to be deplored, and the person or persons whose negligence cr oversight occa- sioned it, cannot be too severely censured. ‘ihe effect it will have on tae Mexican population can- not be otherwise than pernicious, and may be at- tended with unfortunate consequences, ere tie President can put matters to right. The igacrant and half civilized inhabitants of th :t region can- not entertain any proper respect for our govern- ment, when they #+e its agents quarreling among each other about their rank and authority, and doubtful on whieh the power of coverning the newly acquired territory is conferred. Besides, this unpleasant state of affairs may lead to bad consequences. The disaffected portion of the natives may possibly take advantage of the dis- tracted councils of their gover. ors, and endeavor to repossess themselves of their conquered terri- tory. Were it not for the presence of our fleet, they would unquestionably try the exjeriment.

Not- withstanding the odds against us on this point, we dif- fered from them in toto, and so stated at the time, much to the surprise of those who took a different view of things. It is now clearly to be seen who was right. The present position of things in the financial and com- mereial world, compared with what was anticipated by the individuals alluded to above, is the best evidence in the world of the incorrectneas of their caloulations, and shows how little they actually knew about it, or of what little value all their experience was to them. Had we been so intimately connected with Great Britain in all our commercial relations, asin times past, or had we been largely indebted on the other side, the effect of any depression or embarrassment in the money markets of Europe, would have been very different upon our own, to what they have been. There would not have been, in the first place, those immense shipmentsof specie to the Uni- ted States; or in the other words, had we been largely in- debted to Great Britain, there would not have been so much difficulty in the money markets of Europe, for we should have given breadstuffs in liquidation of our indebtedness, and there would not have been that movement in specie which was more the cause of the finan- cial embarrassment in England, than the high price of brpadstufls. The trade betwoen the two countries--United States and Great Britain—previous to the first short harvest in Europe, had been so much in our favor, that when the importation of breadstuffs into England from America commenced, there was nothing but gold and silver to pay for it, and the result was large shipments of bullion. Those who argued that the embarrassments in the finances of Europe would produce corresponding embar- rassments in this country, were governed by the effect in former times, when the commercial relations of the two countries were totally different—when the great regula- tion of money matters was located in London—when the Bank of England could advance or depress the price of cotton, and every other iwportant staple of this country at will ; when, in fact, the whole tabric of our commercia! ptosperityrested upon the will ofa few money corporations, They did not take into considertion the fact that we had become the creditors of the whole world; that we were in- dependent, not only of the Bank of England, but of all other banks—that we had become the holders and regu- lators of prices for our staples—and that wo were rapidly draining Europe of a large amount of bullion. All these things must have been lost sight of by these financial philosophers, or they would have arrived at a different conclusion relative to our financial prospects. The time is past when the political, financial, and commercial dif- ficulties of Europe will exert that influence upon the political, financial, and commercial affairs of this coun- try they once did. We shall soon hold in our own bands that immense money power, which has for ages been centered in Europe. We already hold, and shall soon be able to control, the great staple upon which the industry of millions in the old world depends, and there {severy probability of our becoming the granary of the world—holding and controlling the current price of the staff of life. It is impossible to form even the most vague idea of the ultimate financial and commercial position of this coun- ry. With all the wealth Europe possesses, we are destin- ed to surpass her and in much less time than many ima- gine, or would believe, we shall stand the highest in the list ofcommercial nations. Our progress is so rapid that it is not astonishing that we cannot keep up with it in our calculations ; the changes are so great in such short periods, that it is impossible to draw any inference from the influence or effect of any movement, at one time, upon things at another. We must reason from things as we find them. Every year in this country is almost distinct of itself, hat would produce embarrassments this year, would perhaps haves contrary effect next, While we are progressing so rapidly in wealth and resovrces, our prosperity is becoming established upon a send, solid and healthy foundation. We have such variety of interests within our own limits, that they will ine few years support each other, placing all independ ct of any foreign aid and comfort. All we have to do i secure all these blessings, is to maintain sound currency ; to keep it up toa strict specie standard ; to maintain the divorce between bank and State ; to establish our local State banks upon State stock security, and place them under rigid restrictions, and all other things will follow ————————— CITY TRADE REPORT, New Youx, Satunpay Arternoon, Joxy 17, The foreign news, which teach the oity this fore- noon, and was published in an xtra Hevald, giving an account of a further dec!/no in breadstuffs, had the effect of unsettling the mar\vts.

OVERTURES OF MR. BUCHANAN TO THE Gen. Scott Awaiting the Action of the Mexican Congress. MOVEMENTS OF THE ARMY. Sic. Ke. Ko. Purtavsienta, July 10—P. M. The Picayune Extra, of July 12th, has been recelved. By the arrival of thesteamer McKim, which left Vera Crus on the 4th inst, we are in possession of advices from the city of Mexico, to the 29th »\t. The government paper publisher a communication from the Minister of Foreign Affairs uddreased to the members of the Mexican Congress, referring to them. 8 despatch from Secretary Buchanan, informing them of the appointment of Mr. Trist. Mr. Buchanan's letter is dated April 15th. It acknowledges the receipt of the Mexican Minister's letter of the 294 February, declining to accede to our proposition to send commissioners to Jalapa, Havana, or any other point, before the blockade of the Mixioan ports should be raised and the Mexican territory evacuated by our troops. Mr. Buchanan writes that the President holds such conditions absolutely inadmissable, neither demanded by national honor, nor sanctioned by the practice of nations. He urges that such preliminary conditions would render war interminable, especially between con- tiguous nations, unless by the complete submission of one of the belligerents. He shows how puerile sucha course would be for a nation which had sacrificed men and money to gain a foothold in an ene- my’s country, to abandon all the advantages it had won, and withdraw its forces in order to induce negotiations,without any certainty that peace would en- sue from such negotiations. He then cites the case of our last war with Great Britain. to show that we never considered for a moment that eur nation required us to insist upon @ withdrawal of British troops before con- senting to treat for peace. We sent commissioners to Ghent when portions of our territory were im possession of British troops, and it was no- torious that while negotiations were going on et Ghent, hostilities were carried on on both sides, with unwonted vigor—the most memorable actions of the war taking place after negotiations had been concluded. Such a preliminary condition to negetiations cannot be cited in modern times; at least, Mr. Buchanan knows of none. He then exposes the unusual conduct of Mexico under another aspect. The President had de- aired to avoid the war—had sent s Minister to negotiate ‘8 peace, even after the war was commenced by the atteck of the Mexican troops, upon Gen. Taylor—the Presi- dent had reiterated propositions, with a view to open pegosiations which should put an end to hostilities—he had declared to the world that he would exact no condi- tions that were not honorable to both parties; and yet the Mexican government had refused to receive the minister sent to her, and after declining to acesde to the opening of negotiations, Mexico had never made known upon what basis she would ocon- sent to settlement of the difficulties of the two republics. There will never be a termination of hostill- ties, Mr, Buchannan proceeds, if Mexico refuses to listen to overtures which have been profferred, and which tend to the re-stablishment of peace. The President will not, therefore, make further overtures for the opening of ne- gotiations until he has reason to believe that such will be accepted by the Mexican government. Never- theless, such is his desire for peace, and that the evils of the war shall not be prolonged one day later,that, to carry his determination into effect, he has sent, in the quality of commissioner, to the head-quarters of the army in Mexico, Mr. N. P. Trist, Chief Clerk of the State Department, with full powers to conclude a defini- tive treaty of peace with the United Mexican States. Mr. Trist is recommended as possessing the full confi- dence of the President, and worthy that of the Mexi- can government. In conclusion, Mr. Buchanan for- bears commenting upon the closing passage of the leat letter from the Mexican minister, lest it should give to his present note a less conciliatory character than he desires for it. He recurs with pleasure to another passage in the same letter, wherein is expressed the pain with which the Mexican government has seen altered the cordial friendship which it had cultivated with this re- public, the continued advancement of which it had al- ways admired, and whore institutions had served as a model for its own. Such sentiments, continues Mr. Buel , the President has the strongest desire should be restored, and that the United Mexican States, under such institutions as prevail with us, may be pro - tected and secured in their liberiter and maintain an elevated position among the nations of the earth. Such is an outline of Mr. Buchanan’s letter of April 16th. We have not translated it, asthe original will no doubt be made public. There is no indication in it of thy basis upon whieh Mr. Trist is authorised to conolude « ‘\:vaty. This let- ter, the Mexican minister acknow\wdget on the 294 April, saying that the President bad instructed him to reply, that the whole subject matter of it had been ex- presely referred tothe sovereign congress of the nation for ita control, and that the letter would be at onee transmitted to it for ite action. We learn by the Mexican papers that Congress was st once convened to take the matter into consideration, but up to the 29th of June no quorum had been procured. By « letter from « source entitled to great respect, we learn that Gen. Scott gave the Mexican government to the 3yth ult. to act upon the letter, when, if nothing should be done, he would march on to the capital. Nothing further had been heard from Generals Cad- wallader or Pillow, at Vera Cruz; but it is presume@ they had arrived at Gen, Scott’s head-quarters, THELBEGHA recy Purtapecrmia, July 18-8 P.M.
