We Ho not find any intelligence of particular import- ncé in our files of a political character. France, Bpain, and Portugal continue in their ferment ; ad our despatches from Berlin, Bremen, Rome, aris, Madrid, &c., &c. The news, in a commercial point of view, is ther interesting. As we anticipated, a few days bad weather in ngland, had the effect of inflating prices. Just er the departure of the Britannia, several days frain set in, and fears were entertained that the rops would experience a great deal of injury. n the face of this appearance of things prices pr flow advanced, and quotations for cotton de- lined. As one end of the beam went up the ther went down, A favorable change in the eather had taken place juat previous to the de- ure of the Washington, but the corn markets ere firm at the quotation: The London money market was a little ringent on the 14th instant. A farther ex- ortation of specie to a large amount was fear- d, in consequence of the low rates for ex- hanges in this market. In this we think hey will be agreeably disappointed. There no danger of any very extensive exporta- jon of bullion from England to the United tes for the present, particularly if the harvests in out well, The Hibernia, the packet of the Dth instant, from Liverpool, has on board up- rds of four hundred thousand pounds sterling specie. Insurance had been effected upon amount when the Washington sailed.

Arrival ot the Steamship Washington. The American Ocean Steamship Washington, ived in this city yesterday, after a passage of urteen days and a few hours, bringing the rgest number of passengers that any steamship er conveyed across the Atlantic. Although this was an excellent passage, we informed that she could have made it in elve days, but for some mismanagement the engine room, which the directors will quire into immediately, and promptly re- dy for the future. The passengers were lighted with her performances, and repre- nt her as the easiest, steadiest, and most fortable vessel afloat. In a high sea she as easy as in a calm, and the vibratory mbling motion, peculiar to all steamships, is experienced in her. By the following card, the passengers express ir opinion of her, and of the captain.

Robert Walker, Secretary of the Treasury, is about to despateh, by the Boston steamer, Charles Wal- den, Esq., a8 an agent to collect facts in relation to the operation’ ot the foreign warehouses. The selection is judicious, and is an earnest of the desire on the part of the Secretary to embody all the advantages tia! cis b+ afforded by its opera- tion upon our commerce. England, with all its untold millions of bonded goods, bespeaks the value of the system; and when it shall have be- come'perfectedjin it, we “shall then be able to appreciate the immensity of which she has derived by its almost secret workings.

Tur Weatner.—We had a heavy fall of rain yes- terday. cpeieencing at about 10 o'clock, A.M., and which lasted throughout the day. The wind blew from the southeast. The streets, in all sh were, a8 usual, onsily ccete over with mud and filth in all quarters, e little street sweepers were busily en- gaged in sweeping the cross-ways, and received an oo- casional cent from the fort passengers.

Destructive Fine at Curist Caurcn anp Vicini- ry.—A fire broke out yesterday morning about 3 o'clock, in Anthony street, No 83, in the fourth story, which did considerable , and spread to the adjoining bufidings, Christ Church, &c. The fire originated in the organ factory belonging to Mr. Jardine. The flames spread rapidly through the entire building, which was quickly consumed, despite the efforts of the fire com- panies, who rendered all available assistance; but were ‘unable to check the progress of the devour. ing element. The building being composed of much inflammable material, was quickly consumed, and was burned to the ground with its entire contents, which were quickly destroyed ‘The loss is estimated at about $6000. The premises were insured for $2600. The |e hee consumed was valuable, consisting of an in course of being built, and other valuable articles. The third story of the eee alse contained valuable Property, belonging to Mr. Ruck | piano-forte “ma- nufacturer. His loss is considerable, and his in- surance amounted, we understand, to no larger & sum then ale The loss is estimated in the carver and gilder; also of . Strong, ip manufacturer, who had no insurance effected, and are therefore heavy sufferers. The base- ment was occupied as a porter house by Mr. Lai and was partly insured. The owner of this baiiding, .M. Van Schaick, it is understood, had them heavily insu- red. Two wooden buildings in the rear were also burned down, and the roofs of some of the adjoinin, houses, The flames soon took effect on the Episco church adjoining, which was quickly enveloped in flames. This church, which is known as Christ's Mg | the Rev. Dr. Lyell, its officiating clergyman, was alf quickly consumed—the efforts of the fire com: panies and the police being unavailing. ‘This beautiful edifice was erected in , and was built on the site of Anthony street theat: The building was large and commodious, and the style ofarchitecture rather unique, ‘The Trinity Church Corporation paid a large amount to support Christ's Church. We understand the edifice was insured for over $16,000. The rector of the church, Dr. Lyell, also suffered heavily, in consequence of the de- struction of his private property, which was not insured. joining the church was damaged. following a1 @ names of the firemen that were in- jured at the fire:—Timothy Waters, foreman of No, 22, severely burned in the face and hands; Thomas Tib- bells, Of same company, also injured in the face and hands; Thomas be ian do; Charles Chadenouf, do; Jo- seph Upman, No. 34; James McPherson, No. 22) contu- sion. ‘The above firemen were all injured in endeavor. ing to save the store of Samuel T.

The Lert 2 ustained some damage; the roof was burned. The building was in- sured for about $20,000. The damage is estimated at about $4,000, Tue Cuixese Junx.—This strange looking oraft seems to amuse the wonder loving people of Gotham more than 75 Anthony any thing that has ever visited our shor It is the great topic of conversation among all o] of our citi. zens. Immediately on the arrival of ger in the city, he is asked if he has paid a visit to this odd look- ing vessel; if he answers in the negative, he is forth- with advised to go und see her. Every thing about her, from stem to stern, 1s an object of curiosity.

The complexion of our ‘advices from Mexico is such as to depress Prices for gov- stocks; and all others State stocks, from eympa- thy, are similarly affected. ‘The finances of the State of Michigan are rapidly im- proving. Funds an increase vary the income for the eorresponding period last year.— ‘The public works of Pennsylvania show the largest in- crease, it having per cent; those those of Ohio show only about twenty-five per cent in- orease, Tho falling off in the prices of produce may tend toa reduction in the income of our public works, by keeping back breadstus; but it is our impression that the falling off in the receipts on the canals of New York, Penneylvania and Ohio, will be but temporary, as the press of produce to the seaboard, from the interior, will be so great, are nowon hand to pay the interest due in January, on the acknowledged debt of the State. This debt, on the ist of January last, including inte- rest, was reduced to $1,987,140 by the sale ot the Cen- tral and Southern railroads, costing $3,343,984, for $2,000,000. A tax of $110,000 has been laid for the punctual payment of interest after January next. The purchasers of the road are to pay & tax of 34 per cont on their capital until 1851, and after that time a tax of 4 per cent on all their property, It is estimated that in 1952 this tax will be $52,500, leaving but $67,500 to be collected by general tax, about equal to a mill on the dollar of the taxables in the State. The debt will also be decreased by the sale of lands, &o. belonging to the State, valued at over $600,000, for which State indebted- ness will be received. ~The public works of the States still continue exceed- ingly productive, and the returns so far received show ing from twenty-five to fifty per centon been, up to the Ist of July, full fifty of this State show nearly fifty, while when the producers become satisfied that prices cannot go much above ruling rates, that the capacity of all these works will be taxed to the utmost and the income be very large. ‘The harvests will, in all probability, be immonse, even immense beyond previous yields ; our surplus is like- ly to be larger than ever before known, and an outlet must be found for a great portion of this surplus. The principal demand for it, is expected from Great Britain, and we trust tiese anticipations will be realized, other- wise prices musi it fall below remunerating points. Eng- Jand will want a large amount of breadstuffs, and if we can afford to supply her lower than any other nation, we shall control her markets. The favorable effect upon home prices, which an exportation of even @ small per cent of the surplus has, is such as to induce shipments even at a small sacrifice, or upon payment of cost and charges. The market price of Indian corn in this coun- try, advanced more than one hundred per cent on 9 sup- ply of four hundred millions of bushels,by an exportation of about twenty millions of bushels, only about one twentieth part, or five per cent of the full supply. This shows the immenge influence upon prices, the shipment of @ very small amount compared with the aggregate quantity, has, and also shows that it is necessary to get rid of portion of our surplus, at some rate. The high prices which have ruled for breadstuffs for some time past has placed our agricultural classes in a very prosperous position, and many will, without doubt, refuse to part with their surplus at present prices. ‘There will not be, therefore, so much produce coming forward early in the season, as there would be if prices ruled high. * The semi-annual dividend of interest on the public debt of Pennsylvania, due on the Ist of August, will be paid on the second, the first coming on Sunday, in full; the Treasurer having ample funds to meet that payment and will probably have « surplus left. The temporary loan of two hundred thousand dollars, which was made to supply the deficit in the treasury on the Ist of February last, to pay the semi-annual interest then due, was promptly paid at the time stipulated. The revenue the treasury of Pennsylvania will derive from the public works of that State, this year, will enable the treasurer to meet fature payments promptly, and without antici- pating the payment of taxes The amount; in arrears last February, made a deficiency for August, which oom- pelled the treasurer to call upon the county commis- sioners for the payment of taxes in advance. The in- crease in tolls has already been greater than that de- ficiency, and the treasury is, therefore, not only fr from all arrearages, bnt probably has a balance over. The amount of taxes anticipated, will be more than made up by the increase in tolls between this and No- vember, #0 that the interest due in February will not drain the treasury eo much as previous payments have Stock Ex e4 $5000 Tr'y Notes, 6% 10534 100 8 Bauk 4 $000 do” boo ins loo Morris Camel bis 19% 5000 do 10934 do b90 18 3000 U8 6, a7. 10g” 30 Canton Co 30 46 hio 6's," 100 lo. a 1000 Ohio 7’s 1034 175 Nor & Wor RR 54 5000 Indiana Bonds 19% 50 do bis 54 25000 Reading Bonds s60 77 do bio 54 2000 do a7 Long teland RR” 33 10 shs Bk of America 101 ‘do bon 33 Reading RR 310 66% 50 dy 3936 odo. 65% SoHarlem RR 30 63. 50 do 410 6655 25 do 62% 50 do 6653 50 do snw 62! 50 do b30 665, 200 © do 62 50 do b60 663% 00 © do 960 62 100 do 66% 100 = do 62) 40 Farmers’ Trust 60 35° 150 do 62 90 do 3% 100 do 62 200 U 8 Bank 60" 4 Board. $15000 Treasury Notes 10634 — 50 shs Harlem RR 63% lo 90 10645 1050 do 63! 150 shs Farmers’ Tr hg 200 = do 390 63 50 lo 3586 100 do bnw 6544 50 Nor & Wor RR TF 200 do 810 100° do baw 548% 100 do. bnw 50 do 518 50 Long Island RR 100 Reading RR 66% = 100 y 100 do 390 665% 40 lo 130 New cm $5000 Tr’y Notes cash 105% 100shsN &WRR b60 5434 ‘5000 di baw 106" 50° do 430 190 Nor & Wor R do io nw 50 shs Farmers’ Tr suw 4 b30 360 as 50 do b60 eT 50 Harlem RR cash or) do ba New Yorx, Faipay Arreanoon, Jury 30. ‘The arrival of news, which was the Washington, with eleven days later atan early hour published in an extra Herald, had the effect of unsettling the market for breadstuffs; and examine their le produce were ex causes of « sort as the merchants had not had time to tters, transactions in all descriptions of ceedingly light.

They mention the departure of Gen. Pierce with 2500 men. He had a battle near National Bridge with 4000 Mexicans, and defeated them. The Mexicans lost about 150. Gen. Pierce returned to Vera Cruz for rein- forcements An express had ariived from Puebla, July 3d, announcing the appointment, by Mexico, of commissioners to meet Mr. Trist on the 4th. The strength of the peace party in Mexico gives assurance of Santa Anna’s assent to the propositions for peace. The express found General Cadwallader and his force at Perote. They wereto march on the 9th to join Gen. Scott. Col. De Russy, who went out from Tampico to see what had become of the American prison-> ers, on their way to Tampico, had a contest with the Mexicans, and is reported to have killed 150 Mexicans, with no essential harm to his own forces. ‘Telegraphic Despatch, No, ‘2. Purtapetputa, July 80, 1847. Gen. Scott was still at Puebla. Gen’s. Cadwallader and Pillow were at Perote. They defeated the Mexicans at Lahoya. We learn of the appointment of two Commie- sioners by the Mexican government to confer with Trist. Santa Anna is supposed to favor peace. Col. De Russy was attacked by 1200 Mexicans at Huequetla. He was surrounded and placed in great peril, but he cuthis way through the ene- my’s lines, with loss of 20 killed and 10 wound- ed. Telegraphic Despatch, No. 3. The news of a battle between General Pearce and the Mexicans, which was a rumor by a pas- senger in the cars, not confirmed by the re- port of the captain of the steamer Orleans, as published inthe Picayune. It appears that he left Vera Cruz on the 14th inst., at which time Gen. Pearce had reached the National Bridge with twenty-five hundred men, and one hundred and fifty wagons, on the march towards Puebla. The Orleans arrived at Tampico on the 16th, where the captain was informed by Col. Gates of the departure of Col. De Russy, up the river, with one hundred and twenty men, partly Balti- moreans,in search of the prisoners released by the Mexicans. He landed about sixty miles above, near Huejutla, and was surrounded by twelve or fourteen hundred Mexicans, and had to cut his way through, and returned towards the river, and was there waiting for reinforcements. Col. Gates despatched the Orleans back to Vera Cruz, with a requisition on Governor Wil- son for four companies of infantry, and sent at the same time one hundred and fifty men up the river, to the relief of De Russy. The Orleans arrived at Vera Cruz on the 16th, and found the city ina state of great excitement. Gen. Pierce had encamped ten miles from the city, when scouts from his rear guard came in and reported that large forces of Mexicans were at the Na- tional Bridge, marching towards Vera Cruz. Every thing was got ready for an expected at- tack; the shipping removed from between the city and castle. Gen. Pearce came in and took a reinforcement of seven hundred men, and again marched to meet the enemy. Col. Gates’ requi- sition could not be complied with, but the Or- leans received twenty-five marines, and returned to Tampico, where she arrived onthe 18th, and learned that De Russy’s detachment in return- ing near Huejutla, in a narrow pass, was sur- rounded by 1200 or 1400 Mexicans, who com- menced a heavy fire from all directions, but fled through the chapparel after six or eight rounds of grape. Col. De Russy continued at intervals for several days to fight his way back to the river, where he was received by Col. Gates’ reinforce- ments. He reached Tampico on the night of the 16th, with a loss of twenty filled, ten wounded, two missing, and twenty horses, and sixty pack mules. Capt. Boyd and Lieut. Lannahill were killed. De Russy received several balls through his clothes, and Capt. Wyse had three horses shot under him The Mexican loss is represented at 160 Lieut. Whipple has been lassoed near Vera Cruz. Capt. William Duff died on the 16th, and Lieut Parker, of the Navy, died on the 12th, on board of the Mississippi. ‘The Sun of Anahaue of the 13th, says, that by private express from Puebla, intelligence had been received that Generals Cadwallader and Pillow, with the trains, had arrived at Perote, and had been attacked at Lahoya by a large Mexican force, and that they completely routed the enemy, with but little loss.

A letter from Mexico dated the second, says there is no doubt but that the treaty will be con cluded immediately by the Commissioners, the peace party is so strong, and that Santa Anne will probably pronounce for peace. The names of the Commissioners given are Garostise, Ba- ronda and Tornel. News from Gen. Pillow had arrived at Puebla by an express rider, and an express from General Scott from Puebla to Vera Cruz, was murdered after a desperate resistance. The Picayung’s express was attacked and rob- bed of his letters, and left for dead. But other letters reached Vera Cruz, which state that peace is the order of the day, but believe that Santa Anna only wishes to gain time. The New Orleans papers of the 23d yet due Gen.
