(From the " Quarterly Review," June, 1849.) " The Baronial and Ecclesiastical Antiquities' of Mr. Billings is the first work which, either 1:m point of extent or of style, has any Claim to be regarded as a collection worthy of the remains yetspared to Scotlani. It u dertakes to give at least one ,view of every an cient edifice worthy of notice, while the more remarkable are to be presented in the detail of two or more engravings. So far as the publication has proceeded—and it has n ow b een in progress for more than two years—it is worthy of all praise. The plates are large enough to admit of the distinct delineation of minute peculiarities. Mr. B kings is a masterly draftsman, well skilled in the history and characteristics of architectural style, bearing an excellent eye for perspective, ant uniting scrupulous fidelity to good taste and a' knowledge of effct. His engravers do him justice ; and, altogether, nothing, can be more satisfactory than his representations. " We return to Mr. Billings' work, to add an expreisim of hdpe that it will receive that . liberal patronage to which its merit gives' it so just claim." The First Volume, comprising Parts I. to XV., is published, con taining Sixty Engravings on Steel, handsomely bound in cloth. Price in medium 4t0., 21.; in imperial 4to:, 3/[4s. ; India Proofs, 4/. 14s. The Second Volume, comprising Parts XVI. to XXX., uniform in size and price with the above, will be published on the Ist of August. The work will be co m pl e t e d i n S i xty Parts. Four large Plates in each Part, by J. 11. Le Keux, and other Artists celebrated for the accuracy and beauty of their architectural engravings, illustrate the more important subjects ; and nearly One Hundred Engravings en Wood have been devoted to the minor Antiquities. The Plates are accompanied by a Letterpress description, in which the history and traditions of each edifice is briefly given, and reference made to such passages in our Historians and Novelists as relate to them.

AYTOUN, Professor of Rhetoric in the University of Edinburgh. ' (From the " Quarterly Review," June.) " Professor Aytoun's Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers—a volume of verse which shows that Scotland has yet a poet. Full of the true fire, it now stirs and swells like a trumpet note—now sinks in ca dences sad and wild as the wail of a Highland dirge." (From the " Times," May 31.) " Such lines fix themselves in the memory as the first-loved melodies of childhood. We have read them with great enjoyment, and now heartily thank the author for his delightful volume : the prose notes and illustrations of which are as interesting as the vert,4 is admirable."

Honour and justicedemand that health shouldform au item !n the c.orf.pact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect weand more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—The weather has been most beautiful during the past week, in every respect suited for wheat, but rain is needed for spring corn. • The transactions of the week have been on a moderate scale as re gards wheat, as much for want of supplies as anything, and landed parcels being held for more money. At to-day's market we had a fair supply of wheat from the farmers, who again asked advanced prices, and the market must be written the turn dearer. We make no alteration in foreign wheat; not much offering. AU kinds of barley are Is dearer. Other descriptions of spring corn are very firm. Linseed and linseed cakes are fully as dear. In rapeseed and rape cakes but little doing. The season for bones is now over, and stray arrivals are difficult to quit.

From the Muted States and Canada we have received large supplie, of Indian corn and flour, and from Europe a fair quantity of wheat. The exports in the same time have been small, with the exception of about 15,000 quarters of Indian corn to Ireland. The trade, without having been characterised by any great activity, has been healthy, and with a fair amount of business doing in wheat and flour, at an advance of Id to 2d per 701 b, and 6,1 per barrel. As the demand for Indian corn has not kept pace with the supply, it has shown a downward tendency, and purchases have been made on easier terms. In other articles there has been no alteration either in value or demand. At this day's market there was but a limiter] at tendance of the town and country trade, and the weather con tinuing very fine, only a moderate business was done in wheat and flour at the advance quoted on Friday, being Id to 2d per 701 b, and 6d to 9d per barrel since this day week. Oats and oatmeal met with little inquiry at our late quotations. The same remark applies to barley, beans, and peas. There was some inquiry for Indian corn, and the bulk of the late arrivals being much out of condition, fine sound parcels maintained their value. LEEDS, JULY 10..—Our market continues to be liberally supplied with wheat, which meets a brisk sale at fully last week's prices, and in some instances Is per quarter advance had been obtained. There is more inquiry for oats, which fetch rather more money. In beans no alteration.

Liverpool. THE FRE.NCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Legislative Assembly, on the motion of M. DE MELAN, agreed . to appoint a Committee to consider what measures should be adopted with the view of carrying out the lath article of the Constitution relative to public assistance to the destitute. The result of their deliberations will probably be the enactment of a poor law. The following motion of thanks to the army of Italy was then proposed :—" The National Assembly, on learning the success of the expeditionary forces in Italy, passes a vote of thanks to the army and its chiefs, who have known how to conciliate the rights of war with the consideration due to the capital of the Christian world." N. CANTAGRUEL, in the name of the Opposition, declared that they would suffer the vote to pass unanimously, if it were understood that the vote of the House was confined exclusively to the army, and did not bind those who assented to it to an approval of the policy of the Government. No distinct answer having been vouchsafes to M. CANTAGRUEL, the Members of the Opposition abstained from voting, and the consequence was that the Chamber was not in sufficient number, and the question was adjourned to the next day. M. and Madame DROUYN DE LUEUYS and suite left Paris on Monday for London. The journals all comment on the entry of the F much into Rome, and to the Ministerial embarrass ments to which this Roman success must give rise. The Siecle says— " Has the city capitulated? Has the French army entered into Rome by force, without recognising any authority? Has it rehoisted the Pontifical flag, as the Austrians have done at Bologna and at Ancona? One French General has been named Governor of the city, and another Commandant of the garrison. It was thus we proceeded on entering Vienna in 1805 and 1807, Berlin in 1806, and Moscow in 1812. Are we the friends or the enemies of the Romans? Or rather, is it not evi dent that we imitate the conduct of the allies at Paris in 1814 and 1815. Their position was more straightforward. They declared that they intended purely and simply the re-establishment of legitimacy,and engaged themselvesnot only to defend it, but to punish us if we allowed it to be overthrovin a third time. Will the Government dare to avow that, in accord with Austria, it only, as is ex• Pressed in the dispatch of Prince Schwartzerberg to M. Colleredo, intends the pure and simple re-establishment of the Papal Government ? It is high time that thin should be explained. The propositicns of submission were made on the 30th June, and on the 9th July the Cabinet publishes a dispatch, dated the 7th, which it must have known the day before, and which we have a right to believe it knew even sooner. Would it have acted in that manner, if it had nothing to conceal? That is a question which we submit to the consideration of all right-thinking men." We find the following in the Republique:— " Tile French Repub is never employs its forces against independent nations, but after twenty-three days of siege, aiter having put 400 ROMans to the sword, the French troops have taken full and entire possession of ilome. Teat is what results from a telegraphic dispatch read in the tribune by the Miaister of War. The courage and the lab , uts of our brethren of the army will always comuiand our sympathies, but we hold in horror that policy whine has made such an infamous use of the velour of our brave soldiers. We cannot therefore but approve of the conduct of the representatives of the Op position, who would not join in the vote of thanks de 'needed by the majority nut to give their approbation to that detestable policy." The same journal, on another subject, says— "lt is not to-day for the first time that we state that the enemies of the Republic are actively labouring to de stroy it, and that the faithful friends of the monarchy still retain a hope of a more or less speedy restoration. It is M. de Falloux, the intimate friend of the Comte de Chambord, who was the most ardent promotes- of the expedition to Rome (we shall soon learn what the return of Pius IX. to the Eternal City will cost France), and the proof is, that the brother of the Minister of Public Instruction, the Abbe Falloux, was named cardinal priest in the last consistory held at Gaeta. Thus Louis Bonaparte has already consented to be the instrument of the restoration of the Pope. Would it be also im possible that he should be the instrument of the return of the elder branch of the Bourbons?" M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE has addressed the fol lowing letter to the journals : " Paris, 9th July. " Monsieur lo Roiactear,—At the end of the bitting of the Assembly to-day, the President put to the vote a proposition tending to vote thanks to the army of Rome. I abstained from taking part in it, and for reasons which I will explain to you. No one can feel more admiration, more love, or a more lively sympathy than myself for our brave soldiers, who everywhere show themselves worthy of our fathers of the revolution. But the vote appears to me to be a trap. I, therefore, who regard the singe of Rome as a violation of the Constitution, as a crime against the principle of our Republic, I ought not, I could not approve of it, even indirectly. I thi n k it my duty to protest on all occasions against a policy which has transformed our army into soldiers of the Pope, into an instrument of absolutism and of jesuitism, and into allies of the Austrians. " NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." The Patrie of last evening publishes the dispatches brought by General OumNoTes Aid-de-Camp, who arrived in Paris yesterday morning. These dis patches contain detailed accounts of the entrance into Rome, and its occupation by the French army. The troops were, according to these dispatches, received by the majority of the populace with acclamations, and what is still more remarkable the population of the famous Tranateverin were amongst the foremost to welcome them. The only disagreeable occurrence that took place was, that the soldiers were hooted in the Corso, near the Popular Club ; missiles were flying, shots fired, and some isolated fights took place, otherwise they were well received. It is now known officially that the surrender of Rome was unconditional, and consequently without capitu lation, as has been previously stated. There was bat li!tle business transacted at the Bourse to-day, and, contrary to the expectation of the sp. cuktorg. th- price of public securities declined. The Five per Cents. opened at 88r. 70c., rose to 88f. 85c., cell subsequently to 88F. 40c., and closed at 88f, 450. DIY4ECTORS, Chairman—The Hon.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con- tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of hii payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. Secured on Al 65, by an Ai 21. 12s.

GERMANY AND T ETA' NORTHERN STATES, FRANKFORT. The Journal de Frankfort of the 7th says—" The French Government has consented at last to give up, on the application of the Court of. Appeal of .Frank fort, the persons who took part in the assassination of Prince LYCHNOWSKI and General D'AUERSWALD, and who were detained in the citadel of Verdun. They are nine in number, and are already on• their way to Frankfort." BADEN. The chiefs of the insurrectional movement of Ger many, MM. RAVEAUX, STRUVE, and VOGT, have just arrived at Berne. Ori the 4th, 150 Poles belong ing to the free corps of the Baden army, who were disarmed at the frontier, arrived at Basle. As France refused them entrance on her territory, they were to be directed by the valley of Moittiers, to the canton of Neuchatel. . AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. We read in the Breslaw Gazette, under the head of Vienna the 4th :—" A sad calamity has taken place before Neusatz. In consequence of the ravages of the cholera, the authorities resolved to expel the in habitants not favourable to their cause. The Austrian troops blockading the place, thinking that this was a hostile sortie, fired upon them, and some hundreds were killed." The Vienna Gazette announces the taking of Mieskolez and Tokay by the Russians, and that a large . Russian force had been directed against Debreczin. SCULICK, it appears, attempted to advance from Alst to Comorn, but his progress was stayed by the fire of the Hungarian batteries, and he was compelled to fall back, and had not the Russian General, PA, NANTIN, come to the rescue he would have been completely defeated. The Austrians have discon tinued their operations against Comorn, they leave it to the Russians to endeavour to reduce the maiden fortress. On the night of the 4th 600 wounded Austrians and Russians were brought into Vienna. PRUSSIA. The King of PRUSSIA has published an ordon nance fixing 27th inst. as the day for the election of the members of the Second Chamber, and another convoking the Parliament to assemble at Berlin on the 7th of August. ITALY. A third deputation has been dispatched from Bologna to the POPE at Gaeta. One of the articles of the capitulation of Rome is that all the troops are to be disarmed except the Civic Guard. The Austrians are concentrating their forces round Venice. The Genoa Gazette of the sth quotes letters from Rome of the 30th. They state as follows :—" A terrible bombardment began at four in the morning, and lasted three hours. Mortars had been planted upon Mount Parrioli. The whole defence almost was maintained by the Legion Manara, which was soon, however, overpowered, and obliged to retreat with the loss of three cannon, which were spiked. Masrmaa was killed in the struggle. The position of Vascello was abandoned by the Romans. The damage done by the French artillery is immense. The Spada Palace was struck by 37 can non balls, and the famous statue of Pompey is no more. The fresco of Poussin, in the Palace Castagni, is destroyed. St Peter's, in Montorio, is riddled with shot that have destroyed the paintings of Sebastiano da Piombino, and ruined the temple of Bramante. At two P.M., on the 30th, the Assembly finished the discussion of the Constitution, and thus their mission was at an end. The Triumvirs came to state the desperate circumstances of the defence. Three pro posals were discussed :—lst, to surrender ; 2dly, to defend themselves within Rome to the last; 3dly, to leave Rome and defend themselves in the provinces. The troops were for the second course. The noise of artillery frequently drowned the voices of the orators. The moor of Garibaldi, who had acquired great fame tor valour, was killed in the engagement of the 30th. The Opinione of Turin of the 6th states that the Assembly of the Venetian Representatives has voted the order of the day on the following conditions for surrender proposed by Austria. Ist. The acknow ledgment of two-thirds of the communal paper-money and of one half of the Patriotic one, on condition of either having course at Venice only, and of its ex tinction being at the sole charge of the town. 211 y. The acknowledgment of the civil rights emanating from laws made by the Provi• sional Government. 3:11y. The restoration of the customs' line as it was before the revolution. 4thly. The restoration of the same functions and functionaries till a new organisation be introduced. othly. The obligation of sending away all foreign soldiers, and all strangers who hare not been settled for some time at Venice. 6thly. A general amnesty for the citizens except forty, whose names would be given at the moment of the Austrians occupying the town, and who would have to leave the city imme diately. A subscription has been set on foot at Turin for erecting a marble statue to CHARLES ALBERT. The last accounts from Oporto were rather satisfac :ory than otherwise. ----- MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was much excitement in the Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday, and prices of American were id. per lb. higher. The demand commenced before the ar rival of the steam9r, and has continued at the full rates of Monday. The sales were 16,000 bales, including 7,500 on speculation, and 1,000 for export. The trans a?!tons were as follows:-12,000 American at aid. to Cll., 1,500 Pernams, &c., at 44d. to sid., 200 Bahia at 5 i. to 51d., 1,500 Egyptian at ski. to 6id., 500 Surats at 3-1-d. to 4d., and 500 S ea Island at Bd. to Is. 4d. per lb. There was a firm market for Railway Shares, although the business done was limited. The letters from the United States were delivered this morning. They teem wish favourable reports from California, and the effect of the gold production is more likely than ever to excite attention here. From New York we are advised as follows: " Foreign Exchanges remain steady at previous quo tations. Sterling bills been in moderate demand for re mittance by this packet, while there has been very little demand for bills on Paris, in consequence of the distrust existing, and the disposition exhibited to ship specie. On other points there is nothing new. Domestic ex changes continue quiet, without any change in rates. Bills on all points were at a discount, and aro likely to remain so. The movements in specie are not sufficient to produce any change in prices, and we have not there fore made any alterations. Uncurrent money is un usually inactive at this season of the year, in conse quence of the absence of country merchants." As to California, we scarcely know what to select from the accounts before us. One writer observes : " A large number of emigrants are now on their way to the mines of California. Many of them will not arrive there before July, but the bulk of them will be on board by the Ist of August. We should judge from the num bers which have left our ports, and those who have taken the land route, that, by the Ist of August, full eighty thousand people will be in the gold regions of Ca lifornia. Suppose fifty thousand of these engaged in digging for gold, it will give an average of more than thirty thousand diggers for the whole season, equal to about two hundred working days. The production of such a large number of labourers, at the rate realised last year, would amount to the enormous sum of ninety six millions of dollars. This is not an over-estimate, and the calculation is formed npon data which no one can dispute. According to our ideas of the mineral wealth of California, the production of gold will be limited only by the number of people engaged in the mines. The supply is pronounced inexhaustible. If such is the fact, we cannot form the slightest idea of what the product will be a few years hence, when the valley of the Sacramento will be teeming with popula tion. If the ratio of increase from year to year is as great as it is likely to be this year, compared with last, California will literally flaod the world with this metal, and produce as great a revolution in its value, and in its uses, as has over been realised in any of the political and religious systems of the world. We do not, however, look for those results which are generally an - Ccipated , from this immense increase of this representa tive of property. It appears as though an over -ruling Power interposed its special providence in shaping events, to prevent that utter and complete derangement o f ° f 11 the lanc!naarks of commerce, and a destruction of all the old systems of finance." In Canada all was quiet, but certainly matters were not in a very wholesome condition. Trade was very dull, and the weather exceedingly hot. Advices from Hayti, per schooner Tellui, state that the President, Soulouque, had disbanded his army and ordered them to return to their homes. [PRICE SD. It was thought that the monopoly law would be re pealed as soon as the Government had fulfilled certain contrast e. From Venezuela, we learn further that the brig Mount Vernon had been released by Government, mad 10,000 dollar bonds given to meet the demands of the owners for damages. Monaps was about forty miles from Porto Cabello. Public opinion was gradually concentrating against him. Advices from Porto Cabello to the 7th ultimo, state that several priers had lately appeared, containing high revolutionary articles, It was generally thought that the present Government could not last sixty days. The Mexican news is favourable. ()Ingress were con sidering the law to appropriate eight millions of dollars of the indemnity money to the payment of the foreign debt, and other useful measures were under considera tion. An extra session was expected to commence on the Ist of July. The committee have received letters, and it is expected three to four millions will be appro priated to the foreign creditors, and the stock be con verted into Three-and- a-Half per Cents. The foreign exchanges were steady y es t er d ay. The foreign news appears to be of a tolerably favourable character again this morning, and the Public Securities are firm. The Commissioners for the Re duction of the National Debt give the excess of ex , penditnre over income for the year ended the sth April, at 2 69,377 t, so that, as was of course anticipated, there will be no investments in reduction of the Debt during the cur • rent quarter.

Union of London .. 10 - AMERICAN NE WS, LivEßrooL, JULY 10.—By the Royal mail steam- ship Cambria, Captain Shannon, we have advices from New York to the 27th, and Halifax to the 30th ult. The Hibernia, Captain Stone, arrived at New York on the 30‘h ult. The deaths in New York and other parts of the American continent from cholera were rapidly in creasing in number. In New York, from the 19th to the 26th of June, there had been 159 deaths out of 333 cases. The Canadian intelligence is very uninteresting. St. John the Baptist's day was celebrated on the 25th ult. with great eclat. An immense procession of French Canadians paraded the city, and the Catholic churches were crowded. We are happy to state that no collision took place, all the reformers of French descent behaving very peaceably. On the 26th, flour was quoted 20 9, and exchange was 11 per cent. for bank-notes. L We have no later advices from California than those brought by the steam-ship CrescentC ni i i t i y b . , to A a n interesting letter from General P. F friend in Washington, has been published in the columns of the Union. The source from which it comes gives increased weight and interest to its state ments. The following is an extract : " You may think of California in connexion with gold; and, indeed, a most wonderful connexion it is. As to the extent of country holding the precious metal, and the comparative facility with which it is procured, there has been no exaggeration. The whole slope of the Sierra Nevada, on the western side, for a length of more than 400 miles, and in a belt of at least 40, contains in it greater or smaller quantities; and it may extend still further, as further research is made. It is found simply by digging and washing the earth; no expensive ma chinery and no intricate mechanical process are neces sary to develop the magic hoard. A pickaxe, shovel, or even a butcher's knife, to loosen the earth and stones, and the most simple basin for washing, have been as richly rewarded as the most approved machines from other countries. Good luck in the labourer choosing his location has more than compensated for want of skill. The real difficulties lie in the hardships to be encountered in the remote uninhabited spots where the gold is found. Want of food, overworking, excited by success, bad water, expo sure, and dissipation —all combine to exact a heavy tri bute far the wealth when found. All aro not successful, but every one works on, hoping that the next . blow of his pick will discover a treasure that will surpass all he has hitherto heard of. Many die unheeded, many come off sick; but there are ten arriving from every quarter of the globe to replace every one who goes. Cbinese, Sandwich Islanders, Chilians, Peruvians, Prussian s , Mexicans, French, English, Irish, out-number asshare. ye t the Americans; but the latter will soon havet h eir Provisions, woollen clothing, liquo rs, mining utensils, sell at enormous pr o fits kitchen and the mines; other articles scarcely sell at t all of W oman s gear is alto gether a drug. The am ou n t gold hitherto found i s hard to determine. It is u said that about 4,000,000 d o ll s. have been exported. I shall be able in a few weeks, from facts I am collecting, to make some approxi mation to it. In the meantime, all this is disastrous for us. N o servants are to be had. 250 dolls, a mon th has been refused in my presence by a cook. A ll m y servants h ave l e f t, and yesterday I en gaged one at 100 doll,, a month, because he is too sick to go to the mines; but I shall certainly lose him f l i ho gets his health. Thel rartermaster pes3s 5,000 ars a year for the ho u se liv e in, and it would make a poor toll-house for a country bridge. .The cli mate is cold a ll the year round and foggy in the summer. The hills are bare, and the country is all hills---(forgive the bull). The beef is execrable, and vegetab'es—none ; and nobody has time to catch fish if there are any —viola la carte ! Any one who will come here to dig gold, or bring goods with him to sell to the diggers, will make money. No other business will suc ceed. Whoever comes must bring a house with him ; there are bu _id lumber is 600 dollars per thousand. i The brig Ida, from California, via Chagres, had I arrived at Philadelphia from Kingston, Jamaica, **frith 300,000 dollars in gold dust and lumps, some of the latter weighing over 71b. The latest telegraphic account from New Orleans is to the 26th of June, at which date the great cre vasse at Sauve's plantation had been closed, and the water in the inundated district was rapidly receding. The health of the city was reported to be good. By an arrival a t N ew Orleans we have dates from the city of Mexico to the 4th of June. The discovery of gold in California was awakening much of the cupidity of the Mexican character. Re grets are expressed in the journals that the territory should have been ceded to the United States. The inhabitants of San Luis Potosi were in a state of great alarm, in consequence of The near approach of the Indian insurgents to Sierra Gorda, and the un protected state of the intervening country. General Guzman had ben accused of withdrawing forces from active operation, with a view to open hostile demonstrations against the general Government. The Apaches and Comanches continue their barbarous inroads on the frontier States, robbing an I murdering the inhabitants, &c. Sonora and Durango were the most exposed. The cholera bad nearly disappeared from Monterey. War in the Sierra Gorda, notwithstanding the submission of Quiroz, the chief of the insurgents, was still going on, with but little hopes of a speedy termination. fhrough the bad management of the Government officials, and the disorganization of the army, the soldiers sere continually deserting. The state of Vera Cruz had voted medals for distribution among those who had distinguished themselves in the defence of Vera Cruz when bombarded by General Scott. The Spanish Consul had received one. An extra session of Congress was to commence on the Ist of July at Mexico, rendered necessary by im portant events which would admit of no delay. El Arco Iris, of the 31st ult., says, that the late Mi nister, Pina y Cuevas, dispatched an order to London by the mail steamer, to the firm of J. Schneider and Co., fiscal agents of the Government, to prosecute the investigation into the affair with the house of Lizardi and Cu., relative to the emission of bonds in the Lon don market, with a view to protect the interests of Mexico. The same paper urges on his successor to follow up the project initiated by Senor Pina y Cuevas. A bill has been introduced into Congress for sinking 8 ,000,000 dollars to come out of the indemnity to be paid by the United States, to be applied for the gradual reduction and payment of the internal debt of the Republic. We have dates from Porto Cabello to the Bth of June. The excitement against Monagas and his party was unceasing, in consequence of the pressure occasioned by the arbitrary laws passed. It was the opinion of well•infortned persons that Paez would be in power in 60 days. A revolution was expected daily. Monagas was at Valency, about 49 miles from Porto Cabello. From St. John's (N.8.),.we learn that the fires in the woods still prevailed to an alarming extent in different parts of the province, and many farm-houses, barns, fields of grain, and much other valuable pros petty have been completely destroyed. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, JUNE 27. The Crops—Our season is propitious the harvest— after a cool, damp . spring, warm but bright weather, bringing rapidly to maturity the wheat and other winter grain, and favouring very much the Indian corn plant. Our surplus of cereal grain bids fair to be very large. Money Market —Our money market is abundantly supplied, and the prices of stocks are high. The demand for Europe*n bills is not large by this pacjtet, sellers rather reserving themselves for the packet of the second week in July, when a considerable amount of dividends to be remitted way possibly, cause a better demand at higher rates. Mils on Loudon rule from 8i to 9i. United States Si xes o f ' 6 7 b ring 117; ditto Treasury Noter. A loan at about 1,750,000 (10111. was negotiated by the state of New York last wet k, on a 6 per cent. stA ck of 16 yklirs' niftiest, payabl:_ quarterly, which brought on an average more than 11 per cent. prem. More than eight millions were bid, and a larger amount than the %hob Mb proposed to be borrowed was bid for on foreign account. As it is HothEchilds took about 400.000 dollars. Illinois Dividend—Notice has been given that a divi dend of " 5 dolls. on each 1,000 dulls." will be paid upon the stock of the state of Illinois at the agency in this city, on and after the 2d of July next. Pennsylvania Interest—The Philadelphia bulletin says, that the State Treasurer has made en arrangement with four of the Philadelphia banks, whereby the state interest, due in August next, will be paid in par funds. In order to carry this very desirable arrangement into effect, it is understood that the collectors of tolls and taxes throughout the commonwealth are directed to re ceive no notes in'payment except the relief issues and thu notes of such banks as will redeem the same in par funds in Philadelphia. Breadstuff; —There has been quite a moderate busi ness transacted in flour during the last fortnight, and prices remain without any material change. The Eng lish ()niers are mostly limited at 25c. to 50c. per barrel under our present quotations, and the principal transac tions on that account are for uninspected and fine at 4 dolls. to 4 dulls. 25c. per barrel. Indian corn is in good request for export, and the clearances are large. Present appearances indicate that the coming crop of wheat and curn will be an abundant one, but it is too early yet to judge with any certainty. The exports from this port to Great Britain and Ireland, for the fortnight endirg on the 19th incr., consisted of 30,820 barrels of fl , ur, 16,205 bushels of wheat, and 413,768 bushels of Indian corn. Freights of corn are a trifle better, the last engagements having been at 6id. to 60., and on flour Is. 6,1. per barrel to Liverpool. Freights —To London we notice engagements of 2,000 barrels North County turpentine at 25.; 1,000 barrels oil coke, 2s 6(1.; and 100 tons provisions, &c., 30s. To Liverpool, 150,000 bushels corn and wheat, in bulk, at 6.11. to Gid.; 5,000 to 6,000 barrels flour (none yester day), is. Gd.; cotton, 1 doll. per bale and P. per lb.; end bacon, lard, &c., 225. 6d. T o I re l an d , we heard of two vessels for Cork and a market at Bd., and the barque Governor Hinckley, for Belfast, at 7d. for corn. To Havre, still very dull; cotton, tallow, and whalebone, of a colt.; and ashes, 6 dolls. to 8 dolls. Cotton —Our notice of the market for transmission by the Europa left it quite dull; this was succeeded by an increased business and more firmness until the arrival of the America's favourable advice:, when, with an ac tive demand, partly on speculation, prices advanced fully ic. pf:r lb , and our quotations now stand that much higher than on the 15th inst. Since our last there has continued a good demand, and the improve ment utniced above has been well maintained. The receipts at all the shipping ports are 2.635,789 bales aglinea 2,193,109 to same dates last year—an increase this season of 442,680 bales. The total foreign export this year is 472,932 bales more than last—say, 345,340 bales increase to Great 13ritein, 62,081 increase to France, 49,277 increase to north of Europe, and 16,234 increase to other foreign ports. The shipments from southern to northern ports are 160,767 bales more this season than last, and there is a decrease in stock of 105,913 bales. WEST COAST OF AFRICA. The French Government has received a report from Capt. Bouet William. z, commanding the French naval division on the Western coast of Africa. It gives an account of his proceedings in an expedition which he g m r a e d a e t r a v a a i g n sots the n thenatives nocfh Aka, a tlem wh en o t ha s o d f coGoresmmitted ihe Grand Bassani River. After detailing the various acts committed by the natives, he says On the morning of the 15th April, 150 men from the Penelope, 25 from the Caiman, and 25 from the Adour, proceeded in the boats of those ships to our settlement., where they were joined by a small party of black soldiers. The party was then divided into four columns and proceeded up the river to attack Yahoo. The men effected a landing at daybreak, under cover of the fire of the boats, and, advancing rapidly, took possession (*the village, as well as three others adjoining it, and set fire to them. The natives had fled at our approach, and taken refuge in the adjoining woods, from whence they kept up a harassing and well-directed fire ; but our saiors drove them from their position at the point of the boyon.t. While this attack was going on in the in terior, some other men, from the Caiman and the Adour, destroyed some other villages close to the shore. The resistance made by the natives was very desperate. Their loss must have been very severe." The report concludes with a list of the casualties on the part of the French, which amounts to four men killed and t wen ty- two woun d e d, an d states t h at t h e result of the att ac k was th a t th e chief' of the a d joining country carne in gold d cameto make fo their submissi onei Tinjuries whichth the adr _French, been and done to the French settlement.

JEKENTISII TOWN LITERARY INSTITUTION.--The enterprising committee of this young but rapidly rising institution having entered into an engagement with Miss Clara Seyton, this talented lady last night appeared there, and gave her highly interesting musical enter tainment to an attentive and delighted audience. The lecture was very flatteringly received. Among the pieces mostly applauded were the descriptive ballad " Cumnor B a ll," t h e " Old Ferryman," enthusiastically encored, and the " Truant Bridegroom." Lectures of this description cannot but popul ar i ze t h is Lexcellent in stitution. THEATRE ROYAL, GRAVESEND.—This pretty little theatre is now open for the summer season, under the able direction of Mr. F. Cooper, late lessee of the Strand Theatre. A very excellent company i s engaged, and everything bids fair for a highly prosperous campaign. Ducrow's favouritepirce. 'The Dumb Nan of Manchester, has been performed twice during the present week, with much success ; poor Ducrow's part of Tom, the dumb man, being admirably sustained by Mr. 11. Cooper.
