New York, Wednesday, August 10, 1847. - Foreign News. ‘The Missouri, the third steamship of the French line, is now in may be expected on Fri eleven days later intelligence. The returns from the congressional districts of North Carolina, Indiana, Kentucky, &c., &¢., &c., are hourly reaching us over the telegraphic wires. They are favorable to the whigs, show- ing a gain of considerable importance to that party. Annexed is the result of the returns so far as received :— Election Returns. MBERS Or Cononess Exvect.

This, if the returns prove to be correct, ex- hibits a whig gain of seven, and we have not yet heard from all the districts in which elec- tions took place on the 2d and Sth inst. According to the returns already received, the whigs are in the ascendancy, in spite of the cal- culations of the democrats. It is not wholly, however, with the calculations that we have now to do; it is with the complexion of the next House of Representatives, by these returns. The democrats depended upon holding their own in these States as well as others which will hold their elections in September and October, but thus far they have lost ground considerably. These tew States have already probably de- cided the question. It is now pretty certain that the whigs will have a majority in the next House. That majority will be pretty large, if the democrats continue tolose ground at the same rate in the States which are yet to eleci, as they have in those which have elected. The government of the United States will, in this aspect of the elections now coming over the lightaing line, be composed of ademocratic Pre_ sident, a democratico-whigo-conservative Se- nate, in which the conservative wing, with John C. Calhoun at the head, will hold the balance of power, and a whig House of Representatives.— Such a heterogenous combination of parties is rarely found,but we doubt not that it will conduce to the welfare of the country, although it wil) in all probability cause more squabbling next winter in the halls of Congress than was ever witnessed in Washington. Jt will put Mr. Calhoun in a very commanding situation. He will hold a power almost as grea; as that. vested in the Chief Magistrate ; for his ipse dizit in his place in the Senate, will carry or reject a. measure that may have pass- edthe House of Representatives. The moral power of his position will be tremendous. The next session of Congress will, therefore, be one of the greatest interest. ‘The Last News from Mexico..Is Gen. Scott in the City of Mexico?—Trist’s Mission. The last report from the seat of war is not generally believed. The dates, distances, &c., &c., are too much at variance with each other. But atter all, it is only a mistake in dates and distances; for whether this particular news Ze trua or not, our army must by this time be in possession of the City of Mexico, ora suspen- sion of hostilities has occurred; for long before this, some answer must have been given by the Mexican Congress to the peace propositions which Mr. Trist was authorised to offer on the part of the American government. If such answer was unfavorable to peace, Gen. Scott is not the man to remain penned up in Pu- ebla an hour longer than he could avoid, and in such case has,without doubt, ere this, marched to the capital and taken possession of it. If, on the contrary, those propositions were accepted, the war may be said to be at an end. The next ar- rival from Vera Cruz will without doubt inform us rightly on the subject, and at the same time decide the accuracy of the late exciting rumors from the seat of war. What will be done after the arrival of General Scott in the Mexican capital, should he go there? Has Mr. Trist the power to make a treaty with the Mexicans? We have taken some pains to put the public right in respect to the authority with which Mr. Trist was vest:d by the administration on his departure for Mexico. We now state that he was clothed with full power to conclude a treaty such as would be acceptable to our government; and, for this purpose, a treaty, already prepared, was placed in his possession the day he left New Orleans to fulfil his mission. In case this treaty should be rejected by the Mexicans, Mr. Trist was further empowered to state to the Mexicans that his government, anxiously disposed to avoid further bloodshed, was desirous of taxing the initiative in every step that had a tendency to peace ;and in case of the terms of the treaty that he had in his pocket not proving accepta- ble to the enemy, to offer on the part of the United States for the Mexican government to appoint one or more commissioners of high rank to meet one or more American commissioners at Jalapa or Havana, to agree upon a treaty that would be acceptable to both parties. This is the sum and substance of Mr. Trist’s authority; this nothing more er less than what he was authorized to do by kis government. Thus, it appears that the onus af the contiau- ance of the war will be thrown entirely on the Mexicans. We offerto make a peace at once, and for this purpose, Mr. Trist has a treaty already drawn up, ready for signature If this will not do, our government is ready to appoint commissioners, and arrange the whole in a fair way. Now, what will the Mexicans do? Will they agree to a peace? If they do not, Mexico will most assuredly lose her nationality In a day or two, we willinall probability hear some exciting news from the scene of opera- tions.

It is right that the village Postmaster should charge three cents, because lee is ordered to do so by Cave Johnson; but the Postmaster General has no right to order the deputy master to charge the subscriber of a newspaper with the extra postage complained of by ‘ Broad Street.” Since Cave Johnson came into power, the Post- office law has been one thing, and the Postmas- ter another; and we hope that all those who are daily suffering from the present mail arrange- ments, will bear in mind the amount of their suf- ferings when he time comes to vote tor the next Presidént. We hold to the opinion, that any person who will retain such an individual asCave Johnson in the Post Office Department, is unfit to be President of the United States. of the Aurora de Matanzas to the 31st The news is not of importance ; we subjoin, however, a few items from the outports. and the government to the memorial of Senor Andres E.

Living- ston and Wells, is now in successful operation, and will conduce much to the conventence of the people of both countries. We have concluded arrangements with the proprietors, by which they have undertaken to express the Herald for Europe from Cherbourg, the place of landing, to Paris, in advance of the mail, thus making our journal the first to carry American news to the people of Europe. We do not know of any recent enterprise which bids fair to be more useful to our city than this newly-established express between this city, Havre, and Paris. Our hatters, milliners, bootmakers, furniture dealers, and small job- bers and retailers, can, through it, import what they may need in their respective avocations, on their own account and in such quantities, large or small, as they may require, with the advantage of having everything in sea- son and in the shortest time. Their arrangements to ensure punctuality and despatch, are perfect. They have already sent out acompetent person to act as their agent in Paris, who will give his personal attention to all orders entrusted to the firm, and such parcels as may be directed to this country will be under his personal charge from the time they are de- livered to him until they are on board the steam- er; and after they reach here, Messrs. Livingston & Wells will give them equal attention and despatch. The enterprise of the universal Yankee nation is great. Irems From Cusa. ‘We in receipt of files It.

Mune News.—A letter, copied from the Zanes- ville (Ohio) Courier, and dated ‘Castle of Lo- retto, July 14,” is now having a pretty general circulation, apparently giving an account of the march of the American army to the city of Mex- ico. It happens to be an account of the march of our forces to Puebla, the particulars of which have already been a dozen times published. Carrure oF a Staver.—Capt. Clarkson, of the ship Woodside, from St. Helena and Canton, arrived yesterday, says that H. M. brig Water Witch captured on the 12th of June last, 700 miles W. S. W. from Ambriz, an American brig having “Beulah” of Portland, on her stern, in large white letters. No colors or papers on board. On the log slate was written Captain Forsyth. The crew were all Brazilians. She had on board 508 live and 2 dead slaves. Was sent to Sierra Leone for adjudication. The Beulah was 8 days out from the coast between river Congo and Ambasetre. She has been more than a year to our knowledge trading between the coast of Africa and Rio Janeiro, and itis fair to suppose that during that time she has been engaged in this horrible traffic. Sreamsuir Sovrwennek came in from Charles- ton yesterday morning, in a passage of fifty-seven hours, nearly ten hours in advance of the mail. INTELLIGENCE FROM BarBapors.—We have re- ceived a file of the Barbadoes Mercury and Globe, from the 2d to the 19th of July, inclusive, from which we extract the following items. ‘The price of sugar at Georgetown was, at the last accounts from there, below the average price of the last eight years. In consequence thereof the merchants complain sadly of the new tariff. The Mercury of the 9th, says that Thirteen days have passed away 0 we dispatched our last summary, and we are found in almost the same situation, and in want of rain. ‘There have been a few light showers throughout the island. On the afternoon of the 7th, very refreshing showers fell, and the spirits of the ple were enlivened.

Bowery Tugatae.—If there was any need of drawing the attention of the publio to the attractions offered at the Bowery Theatre, we might do so, but it is unneces- sary, inasmuch as it is crowed to overflowing every night. We must, however, remind the numerous ad- mirers of Miss Turnbull, that the young lady’s engage- ment does not last beyond two nights more after this evening. She will appear to-night in her favorite character, the Naiad Queen, in the grand spectacle of that name. In addition tothe much admired comedy of “ Bamboozling,” the nautical drama, “ Black Eyed Susan’? will be performed. Cuatuam Turatne.—The celebrated travestie of “ Hamlet,’ which has been received with unmistakeable evidence of pleasure by crowded houses, will be repeated this evening to, no doubt, as large an audience as this theatre has contained since it passed into the hands of of Mr. Fletcher. The rmances will commence with the petite comedy, “Naval Engagements,” to be followed by the travestie on “ Hamlet,” and to conclude with the farce of the “Omnibus.” In the travestie and in the concluding piece, Mr. Brougham, the celebrated Irish actor, will perform, and all who have seen him in the “ Omnibus” are aware how well he acts the part of Pat Reoney. The bill is excellent, and will draw an excellent house. Patmo’s Orena Hovsr.—When we ennounced, on Saturday last, that the Lehman family was re-engaged for another week, we did not know that another compa- ny had hired the house from the 12th, (to morrow morn- ing.) We therefore announce to our readers that to- night is the last performance of the well appreciated dan- cersand panto! ists of this favorite company, and that Mille Adelaide will take her benefit on the occasion. ‘This ia sufficient to attract a full house at Palmo’s, and we do not hesitate to predict for hera brilliant reception. Such modesty, grace. and such scleuce as she porsesses are appreciated by all the amateurs of ballet. The per- formance will Lyne ‘with rope dancing by MM. Winther and Christian man, and the two pantomimes of * Le Diable Rouge,” and ‘Mr. Dechalumeau.” The benefie ciare will display the prettiest of her pas, assisted by her charming sisters and the graceful M. Schmidt. ‘e are happy to announce that MM. and M’lles Lehman re-ap- pear next week at Castle Garden, together with the ex- cellent vaudeville company now playing at that place. The is to be er ‘and lowered; in short, every thing ‘wit be prepared for their merited success. Caste Ganvex.—This evening the amusements commence with an overture, after which the comic ope- ra of “Brother and Sister,’ which will be followed by a Pas de Deux by the Misses Wells; and the perform- ances will conclude with the vaudeville of “ The Ren- dezvous,”’ in which Holland, Walcot, Everard, Arnold, Levere, the Misses Clarke and Phillips, and other mem- bers of this excellent Dey a will sppear. The pro- prietors are indefatigable wir exertions to cater for public amusement, and we are happy to say, they are ‘well sustained by discriminating people. ‘e are in- formed they have, at very great expense, engaged the French ballet company who are now at Palmo’s. This troupe have become great favorites, and deservedly #0, for, with the charming danseuse, Adelaide, and her equally talented sisters—the incomparable Charles Wintber, the Magnus Apollo of rope daucers—the truly comic clown, Christian Lebman, and Mr. Schmidt, the finished artist in the science of l’erpsichore er seen—there is no company in their line can equal them. This galaxy of talent, in addition to the excellent vaudeville company now playing at Castle Garden, will be sure to draw thousands every evening next week to this delightful and refreshing location.— ‘They open on Monday evening next. If attraction of this character do not fill the benches of this theatre, we don’t know what will. The stage is being oie, ‘and every thing so arranged, as to enable the ballet company to produce their best pieces. Gaeat Novetty.—We are informed the renowned Holland family, who have been so much praised by the European press, have arrived,and will perform in this city, ina few days. W. A. Barnes, the great pantomist, is to be the director of the troupe. This is the gentleman who was wrecked off Duck Island, U. 8, last May. This company will certainly succeed, a8 they are said to out-do any similar ance. The Boston Theatre (Federal street) will, wo are in- formed, positively cee on the 16th inst., under the ma- nagement of Mr. Thorne. The members of the com- pany dramatique are to meet in the green room on the 13th inst. Good things are in store at the Boston theatre, and will be brought forward in good time. The Viennojse Children sre dancing in Albany. Musical. Tuer Huonrs Famity.—The first musical entertain- ment of Masters and Miss Hughes was given at Niblo’s Saloon last evening. The performances were varied, and those who attended will not soon forget the agreeable impression made by Master D. E. Hughes, the harpist. He touches the strings of his instrumentas if by instinct, ‘The most intricate passages seem but pastime for him, and at pleasure he throws a pathos and a sweetness into the music he discourses, that completely melts his lis” teners and carries them away enraptured at his lovely strains. His brother, a mere lad, plays the violin with a degree of skill which, in one so young, givet promise cer- tafnly of great p tive excellence. The little girl, a Kittle rattling child as yet, sings prettily, but her voice 1s not adapted to solarge roomas the saioon at Niblo’s. ‘The performances of the boys, however, more than com- ensate for any deficiency at is observable in the bill. Eir, Nibio ought to be well repaid for his enterprise in engaging the Hughes family at his very pretty and com- fortable saloon. if Police Intelligence. we A Charge of Conspirary to Defraud—.A complaint was made yesterda: Vefore, Jestigs Drinker, by Henry Johnson, keeper of a livery stable in Duane street, near Church, against two men called Jackson and Mead, on a charge of conspiring together to defraud the said Johnson of $1800, It appears that Jackson, on or about the 26th of June last, purchased of Johnson the horses and rages comprising =the ,livery stable, for which he paid $300 cash, and gave notes for the balance, and until those notes Hog paid Pee! ry (oo son mortgage on e property, and agree to alow him (Johnson) to rupetiatend the pre- mises until the whole of the money was paid.— However, the A dave were not fulfilled according to contract, and Johnson foreclosed the mortgage; and no sooner was this done than Jackson caused the property to be replevined by Mead, upon mortgage given by him oo aeeieet ines rine. a vious to the See id by Johnson, thus ing @ m on propert; fore it actually came into his possession. A constable of the 5th ward arrested Jackson yesterday on the charge, and at the request of the prisoner, escorted him into Chatham street, in order to find bail, when Mr. Jackson not finding the requisite bail handy,gave the officer “ leg bail,’ by bolting out of a back window, making good his escape over some back sheds. Mead, we understand, is not yet arrested. Arrest of a Rich Beggar.—Officer Brown, of the 5th ward, arrested yesterdays Dutch vagabond called Mi chael Luors, very miserably clad, whom the officer found in Hudson street, begging of the passing citizens, under pretence of wishing to return back to Newark, N J.,to where he said he belonged. On bomgtaceag the rascal at the police office $51 in bank bills was found secreted about his tattered clothing, a few bills in each spot, and likewise Efound§ two Mreceipts, one for $14, and the other for $106, which sums of money had been deposited by bim with a Dutch friend for sate keeping. ‘The re- quisite affidavit was taken by Mr. Stewart, the efficient clerk of police, and Justice Drinker committed this im- posture to 6 months’ labor in the penitentisry,as a com- mon vagrant. But how long he will remain there, hav- ing the above sum of money at his disposal,remains to beseen. “Habeas Corpus” do your duty ! “rrest on Suspicion.—Captain MeGrath and officer McManus, of the 6th ward, arrested yesterday morning two women, called Ann Scott, alias Tockus, and Mary ‘Taylor, on suspicion of stealing $400 anda gold watch, bolonging to aman by the name of Thomas McSwingan. ‘They were both detained for a further hearing. Violating a Young Girl.—Officers Watson and McMa- nus, of the 6th ward, arrested last night about 10 o’clock, « German, by the name of George Brunvert, on a charge of violating the person of u young German girl of 15 ears of age, by the name of Barbara Veiderman, while ‘a the house of a Dutchman called Lung, at No. 27 Mul- berry street. The shrieks of the girl caught the ear of the above officers, who forced their way into the prem|- ses, and conveyed the parties before Capt.

Tue Sounp Boats were late in reac! their berths yesterday; they were all delayed by the heavy fog that prevailed all Monday and Monday night, and rday morning. The Norwich boat, with Adams & Co.'s ex- preas, came in early in the forenoon, and was the first to reach her dock. The Stonington boat arrived some two hours afterwards. The Bay State, owing to the very thick weather, which generally prevails on her route, did not reach the city until about 7 o’clock last evening. ‘The Sound, it is said, was rough enough on Saturda; night. Passengers arrived at Boston via Fall River, at o'clock, A. M. on Sunday; via Stonington at 3%, P, M., and via Norwich at 2 o’clook, A. M.,on Monday. The Boston Traveller says the Norwich boat did not start till 7 o'clock on Sunday morning, and urrived at midnight. ‘The gers were detained on the road by an acci- passen, dent to the smoke pipe, which so disabled the locomotive that it took two hours to go from Allyn’s Pointto Nor- wich, a distance of only seven miles. New Haven any Boston Raitnoap.—The train over this route from Boston, arrived last evening at 6 o'clock, avery quick run. Weare under obligations to Mr Den- nis for copies of Boston papers some time before they were received through the mai Tue New tine or Om .—Hatfield and Bertine exhibited yesterday, on their new route, from Dry Dock through Houston via Bowery, Chatham and Broadway, to South Ferry, three superbly finished omnibuses, eac drawn by four horses, harnessed in magnificent style. ‘This new line has already proved of vast advantage to the publie, and in the hands of the enterprising pro- prietors cannot fail to pro very respect what it was designed for. The stages attracted considerable atten- tion, and this new route will add considerably to the travel along this line. Emiarants.—We observe groups of emigrants wan- dering through our streets in a state of apparent desti- tution. We would remind them that the sources for em- ployment in all quarters, both in the adjoining States an neighboring counties, are immense. The farmers, now in harvesting time almost everywhere, are calling out for additional supplies. ‘The public works, in many of our neighboring States, offer a premium for labor. In fact, there appears to be a sort of rivalry between them, just now, for additional hands. Why should any of the ‘emigrants linger here in idleness and destitution, when they can find abundant market for their labor in so many parts of the country? Many of these poor people are destitute, and unable to go for want of means, The emigration offices should make out some grand scheme to facilitate the transit of laborers where the are most wanted, during the present season, And it should be borne in mind that many of the farmers ap- prehend danger to the crops in consequence of not being able to procure the requisite supply of hands. The vast additional amount of cultivation in the new soils has created this demand for labor. With the immense influx of emigrants into our ports since January last, it might naturally be inferred that’a sufficient sup- ly of laborers for ordinary purposes could be procured; ut it should be understood that the classes of emigrants who have latterly flocked to our hospitable shores are different from those who preceded them generally speak- ing, for the last few and the previous years. Many of them are of the better classes of farmers and mecha- nies, and bring with them money to purchase lands and to build. Under these circumstances the laborer has no- thing to fear if he be able to succeed in gaining his way to where employment can be found. We occasionally see advertisements in the different journals for “one thousand,” “five hundred,” &c. &c., laborers for some of our public works. Many are here unable to avail themselves of the inducements held out to them, through want of means, and if the companies or parties advertising, made such arrangement as would enable the laborer to leave our sity, and'pay “in kind” after- wards, neither would the laborer want employ- ment ‘nor the contractor or farmer hands. There is an immense number of poor, though industri- ous and honestly disposed laborers, who would thus be relieved, and prove of advantage not only to th ployer but to the cities on our seaboard in general—not to dwell upon the relief it would afford to the poor laborers themselves, giving them a fair opening for the exercise of their in . Itis in vain to advertise in many instances for hands, unless some such plan as we suggest be adopted—for the poor laborers here are many of them without means, and thus are unable to proceed. This in itself adds considerably to the list of paupers, and fills our alms houses with such an enormous amount of paupers. Insuttina Lapis in omnibuses, as well as picking thelr pockets, has become quite prevaient of late, Last night, as a lady was riding up town in one of Kipp and Brown’s omnibuses, she was insulted by a respectably dressed fellow. Notwithstanding her remonstrances, h continued his familiarities until they arrived at the end of the route, where, it appears, the Iady’s husband was waiting for her—she immediately made known to him the fellow’s conduct. The husband immediately gave chase to the fellow, and overtook him, and brought him into the stage office, where he was severely chastised, after which he was suffered to depart. Fins.—A fire orcurred yesterday morning about 1 0’- Glock, at 10 Battery Place, in the basement of these pre- mises, occasioned by the bursting of a camphine lamp. ‘The flames communicated to the window curtains and some wood work, near which the lamp was placed, The fire was put out by the police.

Drow: a CisteRN.—An inquest was held yester- day by Coroner Abraham, on the body of a lad eight ears of age, named William Henry Ferguson, who fell into a cistern on Monday; the body was not discovered a yesterday morning. Verdict, accidental drown- Dg. nnow Escare.—A young man named Joseph Pat- terson, employed in Trotter's Inaia rubber factory, en- tered the boi of the steam engine for the purpose of cleaning it, and after being in » long time the engincer went to ascertain the cause of his delay, and found him lying in the boiler insensible, and to all appearances jead. Dr. Cochran was immediately called in, and sue. ceeded in restoring him after two hours exertion. He is now doing well. Assaunt anv Barteny.—Dr. George W. Leach was arrested on a charge of violently beating his wife and daughter, the latter a beautiful giri of fifteen. It is re- resented as a most outrageous and disgraceful affair. ‘he complainant is Mr. Williams, the lady's father, who is a most respectable resident of Poughkeepsie. The de- yndant was required to give bail in $300 for his appear- ance to answer. We understand that Mr. Williams left for Poughkeepsie in company with his daughter and grand-daughter, and has left directions for ‘the immi diate institution of a suit in Chancery for a divorce.

The truth is that the publication of the reports of the Board of Healt! eared to us quite sufficient for the information ofthe public. It isnot pretended that the disease has yet become epidemic, which to our minds is rather singular than otherwise, considering the un- ‘usual number Lesage to the effect of our climate. The immigration to this port this year has been unusually heavy; the passengers are of the poorer sort, and ver’ many upon their arrival here have been afflicted with fevers and other diseases. We have besides a large number of people on their veturn from the army, wno have not yet left thecity. These class re exposed to all theextremes of our climate without adequate pro- tection. They are ill fed, and ill clad, and worse lodged. They suffer from such extremes of heat as we may have, and are often not sheltered from the cold damps of the night. They are generally reckless and imprudent, and we have thought our city blessed indeed, in that the mortality has thus far been so light. Upon inquiry at the Charity Hospital yesterday afternoon, we learned that in the twenty-four hours prior to 3 o'clock, P. M. there had been forty admissions into the Hospital of various diseases. During the same time there had been five deaths of yellow fever. When it is considered that e number of cases sent tothe Hospital are quite hopeless before they are sent there, this mortality is re- markably small. We conversed’ yesterday the Rey. Mr. Mullen, who from his pious ministrations is upt to be well informed as to the state of health among the poor, He toid us that in all his congregation he had as yet seen but three eases of decided yellow fever, only one of which proved fatal. The medical gentlemen with whom we have conversed speak of a few cases of fever in private practice; som. call them easy cases of acclimat- ing fever, others speak of them as yellow fever. But the the cases are not numerous, nor are they obstinate and fatal. They are generally, too, among those most ex- osed to the extremities of the weather, and ill prepare yy their habits and circumstances to encounter disease. ‘Aa yet we have had no excessively hot weather,end an unwonted succecsion ef showers. With due attention to the general cleanliness of the city, and rigid care of themselves on the part ot the unacclimated, we have strong hopes that we shall escape an epidemic.—New Orleans Picayune, 1st i morrow morning. _ Suir Fever in Canapa.—Accounts of scenes like the following, recorded in the Quebec Mer- cury, of the 5th inst., remind one of the graphic de- scriptions of plague scenes, recounted both by novelists and true historians :—‘‘ While writing in our office this afternoon, we were favored witB’s visit from the Reve- rends Geo. Mackie, and Dr. Cook, who requested us to accompany them to the enclosure of the English cathe- dral. Arrived there, we found a poor woman stretched on the grass, suffering from intense typhus. Her name is Pinkerton. She is an emmgrant of last year,has been in service. and now, consequently denominated a resident. She fell ill; was sent to the Marine Hospital, and fused admittance, and brought up from then leche to be set down “in some part about t! the town!” She was, however, taken to a house in Champlain street, where she remained during two da; when the people of the house became alarmed, and sent her to where we saw her, confided to the consideration of the Rev. Geo. Mackie, who cannot, of course, receive her inte his own dwelling ;—indeed, why should h What now is to become of her, and many other unfor- tunate people similarly sltuated ? for we could cite other cases of equally painful nature, which we have up to this time suppressed.” The Mercury remarks :— Shall the people of Quebec be branded as inhuman and as lost to all compassion? Let us meet together, as we have often before done, when a ball, a race, or a public emer- gency of any kind commended itself to our considera- tion, and not only devise measures, but at once aid by our own personal exertions and our purses, in carrying them into immediate effect.”” Tue Brotruers Woon.—For the information of the many friends of these unfortunate young men, we have been allowed to publish the following ex- tract of aletter received by A. H. Sanders of this city, from E. B. Cassily, one of the owners of the brig on board which the brothers were. It gives an account of the manner of their death. * We left Cincinnati in tow of the steamer Wheol of Fortune, and after a tedious trip of six days arrived at New Albany, w! is boat left us and proceeded to Enterprise, where she burnt up. The Belle of Hatche towed us as far as Flint Island, and by bad management run us aground. While the steamer Saladin, under the command of Coleman, w engaged in pulling us off the B. ‘ood, brothers, attempted that brig to the ster ; the rope caught the row lock of the yaw! and upset it. The yawl con- tained thetwo Woods, and a Mr. Brown. The latter saved himself by holding on to the rope; the other two were drowned. Every exertion was made to save them, to no effect. They were from New York eity, and of apectable and wealthy persnts; both ware good swim- mers. One was about 30 years of «ge, aud the other 19. Che latter brother was to meet his father in 8t.

" Canal open. eg a on ee bush 237,131 650,212 813-975, of the first week in August, this year, compared with last, has been about fifty per cent. Last year the re, oeipts of flour at tide water amounted to three millions of barrdis; fifty per cent. inorease on that quantity would smount to four anda half millions of barrels this season, There are nearly four months of canal navigation left and.we have no doubt that every effort will be made to get forward supplies from the interior up to the last moment. The long winters of this latitude and the olosing of the canal and lakes, cut us off from all communication with the great grain growing seotions of the country so many monchs that it is necessary to lay in o large stock for our own consumption, to sey nothing about thesupply necessary to meet any demand from abroad. The experience of the past year has satisfied every one that our facilities for getting produce to market are too limited; that they are not equal tothe emergency pro- duced by # short crop or two in Europe; and that they cannot transport produce as fast as it offers. The un- usual demand for breadstuffs oame upon us vo suddenly that we could not inorevse the means ot transportation so rapidly as required, and to the absence of vessels on our Western lakes, may be partially attributed the rapid advance in prices on the seaboard. The Erie Canal is large enough to do double the business that will be done onit this year. Itis very true that at times the pressure is very great, and voxatious delays are undoubtedly expo- rienced; but take the season through, the canal is plenty large enough for all the business ‘hat will offer in the next tnree or five years. It isan extraordinary tnet that the freights on flour from Buffalo to Albany, was loss than it has been since 1842-0 period of five years. This shows that with the immense reovipts, there are plonty of facilities for getting forward all offering at Buffalo. The great difficulty is in the iimited tonnage of the lakes. There are loud complaints at all the Western ports relative to the limited number of vessels navigating thetr
