IN this month of half•yearly railway meetings, a glance at the results of railway traffic for the last tux months will be an interesting retrospect, not only to those whose property is embarked in these uuder takings, hut to all who watch closely the march of those stutistioal facts that bear on national wel fare. Taking, then, the eleven great lines of England, thuee either leading to, or actually centering in, the Metropolis, it would appear that in the first half of tho year 1852, as com pared with the corresponding period of 1831, their receipts have been 4,387,036/. as against 4,188,2391. ; showing an increase in the whole of 98,797/. But, as is that I eriod 64 miles hare been added t.• the length of these 11 lines, the mileage receipts have not, it is clear, gone on augmenting in the same proportion as the groin receipts; thus add ing another to the many proofs we before had, that, however great may be the advantage to the public of extensions, brandies and spurs, it is oa the main and original lines, and schemes that proprietaries must rely for profit and dividend. Descending, however, from them general results to particulars, the increased sum taken last half-year has, it will be found been produced by seven of these eleven hues, via.: bry the Booth Eastern, 10,8841.; the Midland, 25.6 ( .44.. ; the Lancashire and York shire. 31.329/.: the Eastern Counties, 14,9311. ; the North Midland. 9,632!.; the York and Berwick, 3,727!.; and the Great Northern, 34,9481. And of these particular cases of increase, those of the Mid land, the North Midland, the Lancashire and York shire, the Eastern Counties, and the Great Nor- them. are encouraging, as ;hewing the gradual de velopment of tic under the pressure of great com petition for it; for in none of those five lines is there any mileage ifteTflUle; and it is exactly in the instance of those two, the Midland and the Great . Northern, where the rivalry has been greatest, that the increase in receipts has been largest ; thus indi cating, contrary to the opinion so frequently repeated at half-yearly meetings by the most eminent of rail way chairmen, that competition is beneficial to rail ways, as to all other enterprises, if they will only compete fairly. The falling off in the teat& during the heat hallff• year has been chiefly in the North Weellied and, what is iemarkable while there Is * decrease of 46,4191. in its receipts, there is as increase in its mileage of 21 miles. So also with the (drat Western ; there is a decrease of .. ' sad an addition of 13 miles to its extent g 2 with the South-Western, an increase of five has been followed by a decreased traffic of 1 In the case of the Brighton, the decrease is between five and six thousand, but the mileage has, we be lieve, been stationary. The antagonism between increased mileage and decreased receipts in the tint half of 1832 is not, of course, cause and effect ; and, as traffic is only gradually developed, it is quite punible that this increased mileage may hereafter tarn out pro fi table; though experience is rather against any such expectation. Part of this falling off in these four cases is no doubt attributable to the loss of the Exhibition traf fic which they enjoyed in 18.11—for it is observable that the earliest impressions on receipts produced by that traffic were exactly on the lines on which there has been in 1832 • deceased take; part to the un certainties of the weather and of the London season ; sad something probably in the case of the North Western to severe competition on both eastern and western sides. The &creme, it must, however, be remarked, would have beat more serious had it not been for the • ' receipts from merchandise; thereby showing that t the individual locomo tion has been less the general trade of the country has been programing. So far as the half-yearly accounts have yet appeared it is inferible that the working expenses have increased in the last half-year. This is so in the North Western and Great Western ; but is accounted far by part of the repairs arising daring the Exhibi tion jeer not having been paid far until the first half of the current half-year. The effect of this increase in working charges, and of the decrease in receipts, on lividend in those two compa nies is, that, to maintain the rates formerly paid, very considerable sums have to be taken from the ba lsams carried over, after payment of the dividend for the half-year ending Dismember 31, 1851. This practice at once glyceride to a meet important question in railway morality and nianagemeat. To maintain in a great concern • cossiderable balance applicable to contingencies and unforeseen liabi lities is a matter of prudence which, as it gives stability in value to the general property, me net be fairly or resioaably objected to; far railway boards are bound to be as prudent as other people. But, to carry over in good half-years great same in order to support dividends in bad half-years is cer tainly objectionable; for it makes the living pap& *tor pay, not for the dead, but far the nalein; and unless there be a moral certainty that the ems rate can be again divided in the conespenikig half of the on-eaming year ' it tends to eptve • tempo rarily Betides' vales to the property. It was obviously the intends' of Pedismest, is 8 Viet., a 18, a 131) (the motion mg= divil= that the prate et sash bilfiesr be divided amongst the shareholder's at that period, e'a'st go to augment the dividend' et those who wag thews. after come into the company; and thee. sums discretionary power is given by the meths to dicer tam, it is very dear that the prime seamy at things is to encroach on that power, and the ealegis Wine° encroachment and abu se is mesh-•cdtpey mull. At all events, however, if rawily comPaillsele to keep large balances or rests over From pea% ma amount ought to be fixed, and the pvprM kr which they are applicable ought to be dellami. Then when it is universally knows that in id us producive half year a large win will be Sim bees the rest, and be replaced in the nextprodasds; ball year, a much better approximation to the seal• value of the property in question can be mode s t is pow the came. Some sissy and distinct standing ought to be come to hawses railway 'pro primaries and their directors as this sairleet at the meetings now in progress. The result of the workum of the half-year ending 30th of Julie last bee not been beneficial, but quite the reverse, to prices, which in many cases had pre viously ruled unjuvtifiably high. But, on the whole, if some principle be laid down on the point of rests, there is not much to fear, and a great deal to hope. espanies are takingadvantage of the abundance of capital, and reducing, as fist as practicable, the inte rest on their debt, which, as a general nil., amounts to one-third of their capital.

FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EYRNINO. We are told to-day, by the Monitear, that the President's journey to the south will not take place before September 13. People talk of the President hieing reti t t a hydropathic treatment for loran Imalady„ w j • attributed to an invetera t Ti t s.. Although the op i en an te t e go vernment in the de tione Zwen it aq. able to check the pr adenine° its candidate% in by fur the (greater number of the councils-general, great dissatislactan is felt at head-quarters at general rerult of these operations, and particularly at the triumph here and there of republicans, of ' members of the provisional government, and even of M. Ledni Rollin 's commissioners. It is also felt that but too many of the government's successful'eandi dates belong at heart to the old parties of legitimacy and Or'cannon, and wear their present oaths and pro fessions of adhesion to the power of December 2, as lightly as their uniforms. In fact, beyond the mere peasantry, faith in the Bonapartist creed seems as yet to have taken no root, nor his it had time, even were the disposition not wanting, to do so. The upshot of all this is, that a new and greet design is spoken of as a means of checking even the small tendencies which exist towards municipal independence, and of exaggerating still more the evils of excessive cen tralisation. A plan has been started of throwing three or or four departments into one, and thus restoring more or less ntarly the old provincial diviaious, the abolition of which was one of the most impor tant reforms of the Constituent Assembly of 1789. The present departmental organisation of France wu due, as most of your readers will remember, to the creative invention of Sieyes. It seems that the party of the Elyse hold that this system is still strongly redolent of its revolutionary origin ; that it has seen its best days, and that now, when there is no longer any fear of the old provincial rivalries, a re turn to larger territorial divisions would strengthen the hands of the executive power and the monarchy generally. In fact the moat dangerous enemies of the present government belong essentially to the proprietary class; and many of these have acquired , from their long.standing, residence, and mixture in l the concerns of their departments, no lees than from their wealth, au influence, which cannot be always successfully combated by the prefect. But if the sphere in which the proprietors' power is now strongly !ell were to be considerably . enlarged, his relative importance would be proportionably dimi nished. If instead of having four prefects with fifteen hundred a-year, the administration were ro• presented by a civil governor embracing under his sway four departments, and receiving a salary of three thousand a year, evidently . the government would be in a much better position for combating the ,local influence of wealthy opponents. By the abolition of the councils-general, which is likewise said to be in contemplation, this influence would lose the chief means of manifesting its weight. Sup posing that a provincial council were esta blished, the notabilities that made a mark in the departments would be lost in the wider in stitution, while the dignity and importance of the administrative chief would be increased four-fold. Such, I understand, are the views which 11;1; turned the attention of the (government in this direc tion to break the opposition which the policy of Louis Napoleon encounter, on the ' ,art of depart mental influences. Of course a project of this kind would have to be submitted to the Corps Legislatif, and would probably encounter serious resistance in that assembly, tamo as It is. But the councils- general being implicitly mentioned in the zonstito tion, a senatus cumndlum would be indispensable for their abolition. The Emancipation Beige has been stopped at the poet to-day. A curious historical donwient is made public to day. It is the letter by Awns of which Proudhon, SW/arch-socialist, the mow of the famous work, o Property is Robbery, &Wined from the President litho Republic, who dim the title of the " Saviour Ilissitty," for hark, sorinteed socialism, his per usal inretion i t i o e ltends. of a work entitled, "ll* Social Dl•ostrated by the Coup d'Etat."

The post of Vies-President was hotly contended for by M. M. Rottman, Hera, and Btampfu. After three ineffeetnal ballots, M. Itutteman was elected by 71 teem The Federal Moveably then paired to the discus , sion of a petition from the canton of Appensell, pray ing that the federal law of April 27, 1851, relative to the administration of penal justice in the army might be declared inapplicable to troops employed upon cantonal service. Two members of the committee, MM. Pioda and Happeler, proposed the Pee vious question. M. JUDOS Puy 1111 Merted the petition. He thought the Federal oils were incompetent to trench upon the sovereignty of the cantons. No article of the sonstitution laid down the proposition that troops upon cantonal ser vice were necessarily subject to the mime penalties as troops upon federal envies. He thought the ap plication of the federal legislation on the subject should be optional with the canton. He stated that M. Andcrigg, a member of the committee, was of the IMMO opinion. On the other hand, it was contended that the competence of the Assembly was incontest able, that the law had been accepted and acted upon, and that to entertain an application of this nature would be to open a door to others of an embarrass ing kind. After a long and stormy debate, the pe tition was shelved by 88 against 50, the radicals of Bcrno voting against M. James Puy.

It is generally understood that ministers intend to carry into effect, by decree, the reduction of duties and other reforms of the Bebe Cases that had already passed the de• polies; but the grand question of all is that of the Oporto wits expert duties. The public mind there is in a state of great excitement lest ministers should avail themeless of their power, and yield to the demands of Great Britain. In the documents which come from that district, the restrictive or protecting system is represented as " the plank of salva tion of that most important branch of our agriculture ;" remove this protection, and that branch " dies.' However, However, one of the questions is settled by decree, namely, the ware housing question.

THE UNITED STATES A telegraphic summary of the following intern ewe appeared in the Express of yesterday: ARRIVAL OF THE HUMBOLDT. The United itstismiaat«Aii;ci•Tilumboldt arrived at Cowes yesterday morning from New York, which she left on the 31st ult. The Humboldt brought 127 passengers, and specie to the amount ofi 450,000 dollars. We have three days' later advice, by this arrival than those brought by the Asia. I The Humboldt, on leaving New York, passed the screw steam-ship Glasgow, going in. The New York papers an Wed with the details of a terrible calamitT which myna w the Seth ult., on the Hudson River, and by whisk k hes been as oertaioed that upwards of 70 perms lest their lives. The following are the particulars : About thus o'clock the steam-boat Hoary Clay took fire, and in a short time was a shut of flame, and burnt to the water's edge. She had between 300 and 400 passengers on board. Of thus upwards of 70, principally tbasalas and ebildma, yakked In tko lames, or were drowned in their efforts to Neap the Ire. Most of the baggag e was lost. Sack is • leteir aliment of a disaster that has - thrown the city Este esufteneMea, and carried sadness and desolation to hundrais at mites. The Henry Clay, Captain J.

Ike was comparatively • new boat, end oradgesod • very Aso steamer of her dam. 8h• was leramirta el the 7th of August, in 1861. Bh. was IN tens bettleey two beadred and six foot long, twenty-seven foal and four inches wide, and eight feet and • quarter doer. Her hull was built by Mr. Thos. Coll. Mr, at the foot of Twentieth-street, and her engines by essrs. Cunningham, Belknap, and Co., in West-street. Bb. started from Albany in company with the Armenia, making the usual stoppages for passengers, swelling the number till it reached to between three and four hundred. flbo raced with the Armenia, as all the perengets we ban men inform as, till she had run ahead of that steamer sums four or Res miles. Hot hull had become very much heated from the sun as well as from her own fur naces till she was as dry as a chip and as inflammable es gunpowder. Is this oonditioa, sad when near Too ker*, while these three or fan, hundred hums beings were little dresmiag of danger, • black smoke was seen to issue from the centre of the boat near the pipes. Soon after one of the attaches of the steamer appeared and re quested the ladies to keep cool—that there was no dan ger. Immediately it was noticed that the head of the beat was turned towards the sham, from which • breeze was blowing. Then the flames began to steal up and through the vessel. Thee the cry of Bre spread conster nation among the passengers on board that United steamer. Almost Immediately after this she struck on shore below Yonkers, about • quarter of • mile this side of Fonthill, Mr. Forrest's residence; and the scene that then ensued biftes description. The steamer struck head on ; sod u the lire broke out in the centre, and the breeze blew off shore, those In the stern of the boat had either to leap into the water or perish in the flames. One of the passengers, who had reached the shore, said that as he turned he maw the &mu envelope • flue lad standing on the verge of the upper deck, seemingly uncertain whether to perish by Bre or water. The flumes and thick smoke seemed to wrap around hint like • winding-sheet, till he disappeared, and is now no more. Another gentleman informed us that ha saw a mother take her infant in her teeth by its clothes, to have the tube come on top when she arm to the surface, and approach the edge of the boat to leap into the water. By a sudden jerk of the boat, the child fell from the grasp of the neither, end also disappeared. There were several other Mann nding incidents connected with this sad affair. We shall know all the .ad scenes of this terrible filmier. Most of those who were saved cense to the city in the Armenia and by the Hudson Riser rail road. The down train stopped to render mistimes, and , a special train was sent out to bring the survivors to I town. Several reached the Irving house in • sod plight— ' some wallet't oboes, others without hats, and some with out coats, shoes, or stockings, de. Three other survivor., Mr. Vsnellek., of Baltimore, and two ladies, arrived at the Astor Heusi. in • terrible state of mental and bodily anguish. The steamboat Armenia, which left Albany, as we h ave m ete d, stated, In company with the Beery Clay, was, at the time the lite occurn a, about four miles distance astern. When she came up her officers imme diately made every effort to rescue those onboard the Ilenry ' Clay. . •.•or The following extracts from the New York jour nals of the 31st ult. contain the most recent items of inbilligenewrespeeing the North American fi sheries misunderstanelnig: l'n ILADILP II J u tit 27.—Commander Reid, Command ant of the Neer Yuri at this place, has received orders to have the steam frigate Saransc overhauled, provisioned, and manned with all possible despatch. Since the above orders from Washington have been received, Mr. Merrick has exa mined her boilen and machinery, and pronounced them ' perfect. The Saranac and Albany will form the vanguard of a fleet that will be sent down to the Gulf of St. Low renee or elsewhere, should emergency require it, to let John Bull know that Columbia now rules the waves. WAIIIIINUTON, JULY 28.-1 he Mississippi, with Com modore Perry, has been ordered brthwith to repair to the fishing grounds, to protect our citizens, in all their rights, under the treaty of 181 d. No seizures will, in the present stage of proceedings, be permitted, unless they take place within V".e miles of the toast. The British interpretation of the treaty, as regards the bays, will not be permitted to he enforced until the - matter has Wei; et inlomatically adjusted. The Mississippi will probably sail on guilder. JULY 27.—Tbe latelligerseer, of this morning, reviews the fishery difficulty, and concludes by expressing the opi nion that the time has come to cease remonstrating or pro testing, and for this government either to abandon its pre , tensions and inform its citizens that the construction for which the English contend is the true one, end that they must govern themselves accordingly, or abide the conse quences, ur else it must insist upon its own construction, and maintain our rights, under adequate force, or propose an arbitration to settle the true construction of the treaty. Borrow, JULY 27.—8 y the arrival of the steamer, East ern City, we have St. John, N 8., papers of yestard.sy. The New Bruassoicker states that the American Secretary of State labours under a mistake when he gives the im pression by his circular that her Majesty's government is about to enforce the convention strictly, according to the opinion of the law officers of Englan... Such the News believes is not the ease. For some years past there has been a tacit understanding that American fishing vessels should only be excluded from those bsys and inlets of the coast which are less than six miles wide, and within which American vessels could not of course fish unless within three miles of the land on either side. To do this the News thinks will be sufficient, as nearly all the American vessels are in the habit of fishing near the shore during the best of the fishing season. All the St. John papers coincide in the opinion that Brother Jonathan, with an eye to the main chance, and to use the fishing interest from ruin, will give the provinces reciprocal free trade as a settlement of the question. The paper, make no further mention of seizures, and do not give the particulars of the seizure of the Lubec j schooner. JOLT 29.—Capt. Whalen, of the fishing schooner Flying Cloud, arrived at Gloucester from the Bay of St. Lawrence, reports about 300 American vessels in the bay, and macke rel rather scarce. Captain Laybold, of the brigantine Halifax, was in the bay, and informed Captain Whalen that his orders were to seize all umbels found fishing 'within the line laid down by the British government. This line cuts off( tar vessels from fishing on all the grounds except in the neighbourhood of Gaspe and Magdalen Island. The distance from this line to the shore in some places is fifty or sixty miles. Another restriction has been placed upon our vessels, in the shape of an anchorage duty of sis ranvcee been er obliged, cid', t he all heretofore, pr° v t i o n ce. pa y . a like ie dutyfishi ng els Canso, and now they are obliged to pay this anchorage duty at the other provinces in addition, which is something never required before. The schooner General Cushing, from the Bay of St. Lawrence, arrived at Newburyport yesterday. She makes the following report: "Left the Gut of Canso on Saturday, the 24th inst., and spoke on that day schooner Freeman, of Wellficet, who reported that on the day pre vious, they saw a British steam frigate with two American fishing vessels in tow, taken off Gaspe Hess), bow far from land not stated. There were fourteen British vessels of war on tho fishing grounds, and four others fitting out at St. John." By the steamer Admiral we have St. John (N. B.) papers of the 28th. The Tosses says: " In this city, on Saturday last, a court of the vice-admiralty was held for the hearing of the eases of the American fishing schooners, Coral, of Machias, and Hyades, of Lubec, seised by the cutter Nettler for violating the fishery treaty be tween England and the United States. No defence was made by the owners. Judgment on the cases was not given, and the court adjourned until to-day, when of course the vessels will be condemned.' In commenting upon the fishery troubles, the New Brunstoiclar remarks : " Our western neigtboars may rest perfectly assured that their vessels are not likely to be seised unless they are found clearly within limits, and in places where there can be no possibility of dispute as to their infringement of the convention." The same paper further says : " We learn from an official source that the commanden of her Majesty's vessels employed in this fishery service, have received special instructions to exer cise &careful discretion in the very delicate office of inter , faring with vessels belonging to foreign and friendly re:te e ns . I . l l : e lifa a x n pa 'val pe . rs ula° to o tfie';7:l t t e rnstan er t S ir Johne sloo p war Buzzard had sailed from Halifax to * join the frigate Cumberland, Cumberland, off Newfoundland. The dates from New ' foundland are to the 13th. The statement that the British government had determined to give effective protection to the fisheries, had given great satisfaction there. The Bri , bah revenue vessel Charles was at Buena Vista, and through the vigilance of the officers not a single American fishing vessel had made its appearance on the fishing grounds in that quarter. The Halifax papers are silent editorially on the fishing troubles, hut copy Mr. Welister's circular, and head it "Threatened Rupture with England." The correspondent of the Herald writes thus from Washington under date of July 30: I lelegraphed you yesterday that Mr. Webster would shortly leave the cabinet. I did so because of the tact that it had been intimated to him that he must either return to Washington at once or resign. To-day I understand he has determined to take the former course, and will be back here next week. Remarking on this communication the same jour nal says: This looks somewhat ominous. Mr. W.'s service* must either be very much needed in the cabinet just at this time, or elms his recent course with regard to the fishing buaineu has crested a melees* towards him on the part of the president. The Courier and inquirer states that despatches were received on Wednesday night from Mr. Webster, containing assurances that the fishery dif ficulties would be promptly and satisfactorily settled. The British tensions, as generally understood, are disclaime d, and extend no further than to that portion of the fishing grounds where the British jurisdiction is undisputed. COMMEACI4L DITEWGENCE.

THE BRAZILS AND THE PLATE. The royal Brazilian mail packet Severn, Captain Chapman, from the Brazil', arrived at Southampton yesterday afternoon, and landed her mails under the charge of Lieut. Inglis, R.N., admiralty agent. Her dates of mailing are : Monte Video, 6th July ; Buenos Apes, 2nd; Rio de Janeiro, 8 a.m., 16th ; Pernam buco, 1 p.m., 22nd; Bahia, 6 p.m., 19th; St. Vin cent, 2 p.m., 30th ; Madeira, 6 p.m., 6th August; Teneriffe, 11 a.m., 4th; Lisbon, 5 p.m., Bth. The Severn brings 49 passengers, among whom is the Vice-Admiral of the Brazilian navy. The freight on board includes 10 packages from Rio de Janeiro of 2251. gold, and 41,0001. diamonds. At 1.15 a.m., on the 7th instant, the Severn was discovered to be on fire in the after orlop. Through the united exertions of the officers, crew, and several P of the passengers, and the prompt supply of water, the flames were entirely subdued by two o'clock. The cause of the fire is unknown ; but, from subtle %tient examination, it was found to have commenced in a vacant space three feet abaft the bulkhead of the steward's store-room, and before extinguished had set fire to the bulkhead and in a few minutes more would have reached the store-room. General Urquiza had summoned the delegates of the states of the Argentine confederation to meet at the city of Sante Fe, in the present month (August), to settle the constitution of the confederation and elect its Mat President—probably himself. The Brazilian armrhad all retired to Brazil, and the Brazilian squadron has left the Rio Plata, except three corvettes and a schooner under Commodore Parker. It is important to state that the assumption of dic tatoral power by General Urquisa is only applicable to Buenos Ayres, and does not extend to the other provinces of the Argentine confederation. The treaty between Brazil and Monte Video has been acknowledged by the latter. All was quiet in the Rio Plata. From St. Vincent there is no news; quite health). At Teneritfo the Severn was not admitted to pre fique, notwithstanding a clean bill of health. She was subjected to the same tr ea t men t a t M a d e i ra, where there is a complete failure in the vines and other fruits. There was no political news at Rio de Janeiro. The fever had almost ceased. One fatal cue took place on shore four days before the Severn left. It 114 entirely disappeared amongst the shipping. The French steam vessel Classendi Bailed nn the 11th, for France, with Admiral Pretlour. The Frut:(ll steam vessel Caiman bailed on the 13th, fur Moot Video, with the French minister. A ism or two of fever had occurred in the tee n of Bahia. None at Pernambuco. The British Parket (Buenos Ayres) of July 2 has the following summary of political news: Nothing has transpired to enlighten the uainitiattd As is the state and prospects of their situation. The provisions' government has resumed its functions without a .4, word of explanation, and its public measures have therto been confined to matters of detail. The coup has left the city in profound tranquillity and prat a on,, but no doubt there is a rankling feeling of distamtent, ws the less dangerous, perhaps, from the constrained slice.- to which it is subjected.

Uovernors,—l have just taken a solemn Ol'h, hf which I engage before God, before the country, and in fre you, to maintain the rights and public liberties of the Argentine communities, as also to preserve the infest:a aril external peace of the Argentine Confederation, invi-ted with the power which you have coati-red upon me, and which I will employ in renderiug t lfective the elven:go will of the nation, in rept lung foreign aggressions, and In restraining the machinations of those who might unfortu nately attempt to awaken in the territory of the rt puh..c the terrible passions that have prCeipttak'd In from the mist fatal anarchy into the most bloody despotism. And I pro mise you, gentlemen, that in a short time the Argentine people shall be presented before the world, comb tuted, organised, and happy; and I make Ina this promise, because I reckon, with your assist ance, with the will of the communities, and with the mil of the reputations and intelligence of my country, and, more than all, because I am determined to devote myself exclu sively to promoting the welfare of wy compatriots, for which I will reserve no sacrifice; because personal conve niences, the same as passions, must be sactifired upon the altars of our country. Dly political programme—which is founded on the principles of ordir, fraternity, and oblivion of all the put—and all the acts of my public life, are the guarantee that I give you of the promise which I have jest made, and with it you may rest auured, that when the Na tional Congress has sanctioned the constitution of the state, and the confederated communities have entered into the constitutional path, I will deliver up to it the deposit you have confided to me, with a tranquil conscience, and with. out fearing the verdict of public opinion or the judgment of posterity.—Jurro J. Da UIItAVIZA. Our correspondent writes as follows : RIO DE JANEIRO, Juty It. The most important news received per Prince is the following :—The treaty between the Brazilian empire and the Oriental republic has finally been concluded, and its ratification arrived by the Prince. Urquiza is at present the " provisional dictator" of the republic, which internally presents the same aspect, unsettled and unsatisfactory, and it is not dif. ficult to foresee that Urquiza will be forced to follow pretty nearly in the footsteps of his predecessor. He has already suppressed the greater part of the jour• nab ; and the British is, I believe, among the number, as it has not arrived as usual by this mail. One important result of the late change has been the formation of an English company to explore the Plata and its confluent rivers. In Rio we have nothing of political importance to relate. The Vixen arrived here on the 2nd, with Sir C. Hotham 41 and the Caiman on the same day, having on board the Chevalier St. George. Since the sailing of the 'lay . transactions in coffee have been extensive, and prices firmly maintained. Sales to the extent of 130,000 bags were effected up to the end of the month, the larger portion being for North America. This month, so far, 37,000 bags have been sold, of which 43,000 are for Europe, and the balance for the States. New coffee still comes forward slowly, but has perhaps slightly improved in quality. With regard to the present crop, its abund ance appears to have been greatly over-rated, and it is probable that it will not pass or perhaps eves reach two millions of bags. The present aspect of the market is favourable, and we apprehend no want of purchasers at my quotations. Exchange was favourably affected by those large transactions in produce, and considerable same w, re principally at the rate of 27d. at 60 and 90 passed,. This month some business has been dose at 271 and 271, and it finally closes firm at 27d. Our sugar market has also participated in the general activity, and very extensive sales were effected towards the end of the month. Bongos AYR'S commercial accounts state that the month of June opened with • brick demand for manu factured goods, both for local consumption and for the interior markets ; prices had therefore rallied from the late depression, and during the whole month the system of transhipment and re-embarkation had been going on to s large amount. In exports, owing to the bad state of the roads from frequent heavy rains, the Salaredos hail done comparatively little, and the statement of produce el ported showed a decided falling off. The winter, so (Cr. had been mild and favourable, and cattle in very supenot condition were expected in the spring. At BAHIA the market for imports continued without change, busineas generally having been of an unsatisfactory character for some time past. The deficiency of the sager crop, as compared with that of last year, was shout 13.000 tons. Core iderrble purchases haul been made since reoipt of the Tay's sdvices, and whites were quoted 19.. 64. r cwt.; and brown., 15s. 10d. per cwt., free on board.
