Parties abroad, parvicularly io the Easiern States, will do well to heed these remarks, for their truth cannet be impugned. If shippers bither wish to derive a profit firom their ven cures, let thea for the future diminikh them by at least a third from the standard of two years past. Of some arti cles—fo° mnetance coal, candies, boots and shves, cl ‘ sro, preserves, nails, miscellaieous dry goods and bard. ware, malt liquors apd spirits turpentine, there should be aa ab «lute euspension of shipments for eix’mcnths at least, in orcer to cnab'e our market to recover @ healthy tone. Assured!, without an asclote stoppage of further sup pliee of the articles ove mentionea, no material or tmancnt advance in prices can be expected to reeult from the so inrords mace upon the prevent enormous stocas by Consumption, utd cerainly none through speculauon, a'tempts at which would be futile. The leading artisics in which the tranzactions have been of ap imporimnt character during the last fortnight are brown coitovs, cctier, candies, preserves, French goods, gunvy bag, cls, vutter and American liquors. In res pect to preeert fruits and suuces it will be seen by re ference to tbe article uoder that bead that the tales have been of unysunl maguitude, covering nearly every des cription in the market, and that prices are reslized netting from 10 to 75 per cent loss. Considerabie purchase of butter hi been made on speculation and slightly advanced prices to is the close been paid, principally, bowever, for parcels to arrive in Avguet and September, when the sanguine orators AnUcipate that owing to this being dry season, the sup ily of Cahforpia butver will totally fail and Eastern will bave to meet the entire consumption. This is merely a repeti tion of lass spring's speculation, and it will be remember. ed that the drouth last year was ocooedingly severe; yet the operauicn e ed & very disastrous one to thore en gaged init. We apprehend that those who reckon on a cormution of the ly of California butter during the gemmer anc fall months are decetving themselves. Our Oniry farws are in great part located in the oest watered valleys in the State, where in most cases the supply of water bever fails, and however severe the drouth may preve thie year, we bave no hesitation in asserting that folly one-third more baticr will be sent to market thap there was last searon, while from Oregon we shall have dovble the quantity, the greater part of which is still to urrive. The rales of American liquors during the fortnight bave scarcely resulted in more than the ‘tock being more nearly copcentratea; prices are hardly changed, and we regard the market as by no means strong. MONEY MARKET.

I embarked on board the English steamer Valparaiso at Caliao, on the 13th instant, and left that port on the same day, amid tbe t.muit and nolze ever to be met with on beard veesels leaving Spanish ports. Early onthe morning of the 14th we wereat the Chincha Islands, We were somewhat surprised to find shem once more in possession of the Castilla government, and to learn Ubstull the Vivanco sbips which bad been taking in cargoes hac rup away. We also understood that the French and Fgileh vaval commanders bave guarantied the possession of the Cbincas and will interfere should Vivanco again aj. \empt to posters himself of them. This will be a aad blow to the revolutionary party, for it will deprive Vi- vanco of al) means of prosecuting the struggle. The Islands presented a very lively appearance, as some two hundred vessls were there awaiting or taking in cargo. . The Jobn Adams was also there, and I understood frem"y ore of ber officers that Mr. Clay was not @ party to the guarantee given by the English and French. After stopping about an hour at the I+lan 1s, to discharge cargo and passengers, we proceeded over tothe romantic looking little town of Pisco, which lies about ten miles .8. E, from the Chinchas. This village (Pisco) has quite ap Oriental appearance, and of late years has been much benefitted by the increased traffic from all parts of the qorld to the guano deposits. On the morning of the 16th, we anchored in the harbor Telay—the port of ‘Arequipo thirty leagaes 4 found there the frigate Apurimac, together with armall steamer recently purchased by Vi- vanco in Chili. Ere we bad dropped anchor a ‘boat pulled by sixteen oars was along side; the famed Moatero vat in her stern and came to learn news from Lims. The bearer of communications from the Vivanco party in Lima—who by the by is an American—=met Muntero at the gangway, and whispering a word in his ear, both de- scended into the boat and rowed off to the frigate.

Islsy may be considered one of the most miserable Piaces in Peru; it is composed of about one hundred wretched bovels built on the brow of « sloping bluif; the streets were crowded with officers an‘ soldiers ing to the army a d frigate, and the exciting news which we brovgbt from Lima seemed to bave driven one-half of cbem mad. Itcame at an inorportune moment, too, for the Apurimac, with 500 men on board, was about pro- ceding to attack the port of Arica, while Vivanco, with « force of 1,500 men, was preparing to march on Tacna. From ali that I could learn on shore, both expeditions would probably be detained some days. I, however, heard Montero swear, that if Vivanco would not allow him to 10 ( allao with the Apurimeac and sink the revolted vi I» et eae eer give up command of the rigate. Ou my return to the Valparaiso, I found there an officer of the Apurimac, who, as the steamer would not sail for an bour or two, invited me to go on board his vessel; ac- cepting bis invitation I jed om board, and was a good deal to see everything on board in such good order; ip fact, never did I see a vessel in such a per- fect state of cleanliness and discipline; the officers were extremely obliging, ard showed me much attention. Frem one of them I understood that an attempt woald bi made that very night to get up a pronwnciamiento on board, and tbat, tn ail probability, the vessel would be on her “way tothe government of Castilla on the next day; he, however, could not enter into such a treasonable course, Seer es information to Moat: bir trienas; he fore left the vessel, and carre to this eee: Before we left the harbor Montero was showing docoment which he had just received from Castilla, off ieg him $300,000 if ho bprkns | abandon the vessel; “bat,” said he, “three bum million of Castilla’s money cannot buy me.’” When I returned on board the Valparaiso I found the Captain feasting some English ladies from shore, and pre- ay by et on “a turn’ around the bay before he 1; we, }, Started and rounded the Aparimac, her’ band saluting’ us with “God Save the Queen,” and “Yankee Doodie.”’ As we parsed I noticed Mootero sit- ting on the rail of his vessel thoughtful and careworn; but as if ashamed of bis apathy, he arose, forced a smile of our vessel; he us until the vessel it if the buying season There are a great number of foreigners living here, but I cannot find a single American, resident or in transit.

The Religions Press—lts Character und Gireulation. ‘The religious press consists of a large number of periodical, pablished in the principal cities of the Union, and scattered generally abroad, having tneir circulation specieily confined to the religious wo ii We shall not undertake to enamerate this press by giving the names of its several publications. They sre very numerous, but the greater number are pab- lished bere in New York. ‘Che whole weekly circu lation is, bowever, only about 150,009 sheets pee week, while the secular weekly press is over 600,000 esheets per week; and the daily press equals nearly 1,100,000 sheets per weck, of which more than ove-half is issued by the New York Huxaup estab- lishment. These journals are severally put forth with the special purpose of advocating the particular doc- trines ot the religious denomination which they rep- resent. Each sect has its organ, in pursuance of the fashion of the times, acoordiag to which every and apy sentiment, be it great or littic, wise or foolish, universal or special, as soon as it finds loig- ment and obtains embodiment in a sufficieut nam- ber of persons and miuda, must forthwiti have @ journal for its organ, to support and promulgate it The circulation of ail such organs necessarily de- peuds upon the number of adherents to the views and sentiments represented, and is large or small according as the sentiment advocated is favored by few or many. Hence the numerical strength of aay sect or party may, in some degree, be measured og the extent of the circulation enjoyed by iis organ. As with the journals which represent political parties, some of them are undertaken by individuals at their own risk, and eome are issued by the body or party; #9 it is with the religious journals. Some of them emanate from religious societies or bodies, and are clothed with a certain degree of official au- thority, while others are the offspring of individual enterprise, relying on the zeal and numbers of the denomination tor their support. None of these jour- nals have & spontaneous circulation at 9'! to be com- pared to the independen: press, such 9», for example , the New Yorx Herauv. While tho independent press has some difficulty, even with the most power ful steam machinery, to throw off daily copies enough for its subscribers, and fast enough for the demand, the religious press—that portion at least which de- pends upon the spontanevns and unforced demand of the people—lives a stinted and precarious life, and in some cases can hardly find readers enough to support its existence. Th's fret wonld seem to indicate rot that the private religivds otiment or the disposi- tion towards religious truti is weak and small atcong the millions of the people, but that the hold which the religious sects pow-ess upon the minds and the influence of relixisus corporatioas of all kinds upon the great mass, is feeble nd in some oe Cee Tais si mggective ides, whi woul repay trouble of and followiog out,if it were not calculated to lead us far er of or of the sub- t we propose to inquire into. One im ee eta at this state of the pablic mind we cannot forvear from noticing, and it is thi namely: that the great religious is dissatisfied with the religious 01 corporations of the day, aud is only held by them with a feeble hoid, for want of something betier; and that, if such men #s the apostles should now be sent, as they were formeriy sent, to iaaugurate & bet- ter state of things in religion and iastructioa, they would, in spite of the opposition of estavtished orgamzations, succeed iu overturowing the corrap- tion which has overspread the land in the articie of religion. Perhaps such a day and the hope of bester things are at hand. The character and condition of the organized sects called the relgious world, are to be seen and disco- vered in the religious press. Itis formed and con- ducted to suit the mind and taste of thuse who sup- port it, and is a tolerably accurate mirror and glass, reflect the mind and spirit of tne reigioas world. 'e proj , therefore, to consider some of the jinen’ characteristics by which it 1s strongly marked and distinguished. Contention, strife aod disputation are the great characteristics of the religious press. The whole religious world, in all ita sects and Givisiona, is by means of the press, set in motion by each party, at constant war with itself. The battie and fignt are incessantly carried on in the very camp of ion. This state of warfare among them- selves, in which not ouly sest so sect, bub even a portion of one sect ‘s ar: to the fight inst another portion of the same sect, is a paipa- proof not me: in this Denmurk there is great “ rotienness,’ cannot stand. The whole we are doubtless on the eve of «ue great revolution in re- ligion. The religions b.use is 39 divided, and the religious world is come to ve such @ corrapt werld, thatevery lover of truth and righteousness must look for and long after a change. Everybody knows how bitterly and savagely these several journais of religion fight against each other. We shail not give specimens of what is so well known, por Pye the reproach{ul epithets with which every one is familiar. But if we inquire into the cause of such wratbful ire in minds pretending to be emi- — celestial, the solution will be plain. It is a selfish contest between earthly un-celestial men, for earthly fame, riches, estimation and henor. The sects are like opposition lines, which ail offer to carry people to the same place, and the religions press are the runoers, who try to pick up all the customers they can for their special line. To do this, of course each runner ories down every line but his own, and pro.ests that no one wilt safely arrive at his journey’s end unless he go by the partioular line which be recommends. Tne greater the oppo sition is, 60 much the more eager are these rum- ners to advance the interests of their several lines. The fact is, ke other ranners. they have become quite a nuiearce for like them, too, all they aim at is to make as much as they can for themselves. This rude comparison of ours aptly explaivs the cause of the fgating and combative character of the religious press. From the nature of things it iz imp emole that in religi-as matters any oue sect can over be at poace wilh another; and thisis traeof all religions oepom nations whatsoever, which subsist: end hive like any government, by taxing the pegple, and which bave an organization to support. “As the strength of avy ee ae in the great- nes of the population, so the strength of a sect cousists in its numbers. Like a government, it has its officers and ministers to enppot, and its power depends upon a large number of tax-pay ing peopie. ‘The secta, ther: fore, are like #0 many distinct go- vernmenta in a country, appealing to the peo- pie for support, and each oue zeelously s-riving after the most people and the most money. This is a gross view of such soi-disané celestials, but it is true. All that is most gross and uncelestial is to be tound ia religious corporations. Ic lies in the nature of religious corporations or sects to depreciate, to contemn, to decry, and if poa- sible to desiroy one another, for the strength aod power of each ore depend, upon obtaining the concurrence and assent of the greater nuraber of people to its views and opinions, The more adbe- reuis one of them can obtain to its views, tae stronger and the more respectabie it fs. Butto in- @):ce adhesion to ite own views it must ne2essarily de- ory chose of all other similar corporations. Reli; ‘ions or secta inust, therefore, be opposed to each other, and therefore the religious press, which representa them, must be, as It is, 4 militant, ora fighting press.
