NEW NOVEL, BY JOHN MILLS, ESQ. O Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 yols., U COUN TY. By JOHN MILLS, Esq. Author of „ THE OLD ENGLISEi GENTLEMAN," &e. Henry Co burn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., post PM., the 0 D. A NOVEL. " The author, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could barfly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy is be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan gnage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects Just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays en matters that are the prima mobilla of the actions which cha acterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man nerses, and Smythes."--Observer. " Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great goo,; taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gap ing novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha raider of Amelia Koss we have already spoken, and the extract we Dave given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have Ovid. The other ladies who play conspicuons parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and inspalsrve genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Xaitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

Shortcomings there unquestionably are on the part of the Ministers in the management of public busi ness during the Parliamentary session, a fact suffi ciently proven by the annual sacrifice designated with some significance the Massacre of the Innocents. Nevertheless, making allowance for the difficulties always in the way of legislation, we cannot but coincide in the opinion expressed by the First Lord of the Treasury last evening, to the effect that no other assem bly in Europe transacted more business than the re presentative assembly of Great Britain. To the House of Commons the country is indebted for labours in behalf of the common weal more ardu i ous and uninterrupted than could reasonably be anticipated from a body of men instigated to those toils solely by the stimulus of their patriotism. An estimate of the work actually got through by our Legislators during the interval between the re-assembling and the prorogation of the Parliament inevitably fills the mind with a sense of THE SUN, satisfaction that a regard for the welfare of their fatherland can thus induce men of fortune and leisure to forego all the enjoyments of repose, and to with stand the allurements of an indolent re creation. Considerations like these are the most unanswerable arguments in favour of that political ambition which some mistaken philosophers have repro bated as a grievous criminality. But for it there would be little chance of the labours of le gislation being conducted with anything like the pre. sent promptitude and efficiency. In thinking thus, of course it must be apparent that we are not among those who are solicitous to see a pecuniary incitement introduced into the precincts of the Imperial Parlia ment. Of all the demands of democracy, that appears to us to be the most erroneous. Nothing could more signally demonstrate this than a comparison of the benefits secured to the people of France by the National Assembly, and those con ferred upon the people of England by the House of Commons during the sessions now rapidly approaching their termination. One constituting the achievements of paid and the other of unpaid repre sentatives, they strikingly contrast with each other, and illustrate in a manner the most brilliant and con spicuous the advantages of the system as existing amongst ourselves. Reviewing the records accumulated this year by the stenographers of Hansard, we confess at once, and with a sort of exultation, that the Premier was scrupulously correct in asserting, as he did yesterday, that during 1850 the toils of the Commons have been but seldom interrupted by lengthened discussions. Hitherto, unfortunately, a large amount of public time had been frittered away in unnecessary debates and most unjustifiable personalities. Members de livered elaborate harangues more with a view toen hanee their reputation as orators than to elucidate any obscure or complicated question, subordinating the interests of the country to the chance of their own individual advancement. Against this melancholy practice the journalist has repeatedly inveighed with a seriousness proportioned to his sense of the grievances accruing from it to the population of the United Kingdom. Gradually we are rejoiced to ac knowledge that the annoyance alluded to has been of less and less frequent recurrence. Especially during the session which will be closed by her Most Gracious MAJESTY in person on Thursday next, has the Speaker of the House of Commons been exempted from the onerous duty of sitting out tremendous de bates of an idle and frivolous character, extending far into the small hours after midnight, and protracted by adjournment after adjournment. The discussion on the Foreign Policy of the Government may be men tioned as; the only one of a particularly lengthened duration ; and, considering the immense importance of the subject then under deliberation, the multiplicity of its details, and the magnitude of its misrepresenta tions, it cannot, by any possibility, be insinuated that that debate was in any respect unconscionably pro longed. With all the odium devolving upon the members of the present Administration in conse quence of their abandonment of so many measures of an estimable description, it must be borne in mind that a large amount of credit is likewise due to them in a particular degree for the amount of work which they have got through, notwithstanding the numerous obstructions raised against their proceedings, now in one, now in the other, of the two Houses of Parlia ment. Added to which, a material improvement has been perceptible under them in one or two regu lations affecting the management of public busi ness. With the intention of preventing the annoyance of any uncertainty as to which would and which would not be brought forward among some twenty or thirty orders of the day down in the notice- book of the House, and also in what succession those same, orders would be introduced—it has been contrived that one or two out of those clustered orders should be especially specified on the votes as being likely to absorb a considerable portion of such and such an evening. These more tedious subjects have received precedence of the other miscellaneous subjects enume rated, and the arrangement has, by the means just re ferred to, been duly intimated beforehand to the House by the well meaning intervention of the Government. Those who are unaccustomed to observe the manner in which the flow of public business may be re tarded by some such trivial interruptions as are thereby obviated, can form but an inadequate notion of the value and efficacy of the plan adopted by the Cabinet in this instance, and carried out, it woukl seem, at the express instigation of the First Lord of the Treasury. Incredible as it may appear to the uninitiated, many whole nights in the session have, by this simple contrivance, been saved from being needlessly frittered away in altercations. As affording a vivid notion of the arduous and protracted exertions of the House of Commons during the session of 18.50, the statistical estimate of that session, given last evening by the Honourable Baronet the Member for the metropolitan borough of Mary lebone, is eminently entitled to consideration. Ac cording to the rough calculation of Sir BENJAMIN HALL, the total number of hours during which the Commons have been sitting during the last twenty five weeks (exclusive of holidays) has been no less than 1,041 1,041 hours distributed over 149 sittings ; or, allowing 100 hours for the Wednes day sittings, they have sat during the whole of this session four days in every week, for ten hours and a half a day. Of itself this nume rical estimation alone is a sufficient token of the as siduous application to their legislative duties on the part of our unpaid Representatives. Meanwhile, of course, in carrying out so many and such diversified schemes, many also have been unhappily overlooked and prematurely abandoned. In gathering in so large a harvest it is not surprising that every year many sheaves should be left scattered about for the advantage of the political gleaners. Unfortu nately the benefit of this kind of sena torial gleaning can only be experienced on the approach of the ensuing harvest, at the commencement of the nest Parliamentary session. So that, while exulting over what has been accomplished during the past session through the instrumentality of their Representatives at Westminster, the people invariably look forward with eager expectation to the renewal of their deliberations. The more we look into the various articles, letters, &c., which have appeared in the columns of our con temporaries on the subject which is engaging so much public attention, and which has led to so much cor respondence between the Board of Customs and the dock companies, the more are we confirmed in our view of the case, viz., that out of this question, much good must inevitably result, not only to the merchants of the metropolis, but also to the lesser traders and dealers in general. We cannot dismiss from our minds that much of the evil is chargeable on the Customs authorities. The dock companies have been left too much to themselves, too much confidence has been reposed in the honour of individuals, who in their turn entrust that honour to the keeping of others, which, as in this case, fre quently ends in inextricable difficulties. It too often happens in public bodies that, however high the integrity, however respectable the standing of its members and directors, the practical working of the business machinery must be entrusted to servants, dependents, and other officials, with whose actual doings the directors are unacquainted,except so far as may appear on paper at their periodical or other meet ings. We can, therefore, realise the idea that in the case before us the directors of the dock companies, as a body, may be ignorant of many frauds or irregulari ties, if there be any, in their establishments, although such ignorance and innocence on their parts may not be inconsistent with the existence of evils on which we have had occasion to animadvert. We would willingly incline to the opi nion that such is the case with regard to the many highly influential and honourable persons whose names are associated with these compsoie.=, although they themselves have not been disposed to Edmit the fiet ; re.v(rtheless the responsibility rests with them, the pecuniary consequences of that ra sp constitute a lesser evil than the imputation of privity and participation in the practices that leEd to such re sults. To that responsibility the London Dock Com pany inform the Board of Customs that they hold themselves liable, and this position they admit whilst animadverting on the conduct of the Customs. If liberties have been taken with the imports, and abstractions have been made beft,re the landing weights have been taken by the Customs, a false and insufficient charge has been raised against the importer, and by this inadequate amount the duties have LONDON, be n charged, and the merchants have been settled 'with. Where the quantities abstracted before being brought to account were in excess of the bills of lading, and the error has not been discovered by the shipper and notified to the merchant, the latter may have had ail he expected and been satisfied. If, how ever, these excesses have not been brought under the notice cf the Crown, but wholly or in part brought into consumption, the revenue has suffered, and the fair trader has suffered by the unfair competition to which he who pays honestly the duty on his goods must be subjected, and if this be so, we ask, what have the Customs been about ? How comes it that the guardians of the revenue have foregone the means of securing its integrity, and of preserving intact the property of the merchants, who, confiding in their account for duties, regulate thereby their demands on the warehouse keepers for their goods ? If, by the abstraction of goods, deficiencies are created, the merchant, it is presumed, gets an allowance either from the shipper, the shipowner, or carrier, the lighterman, or the underwriter. In this case it is not the merchant, but one or other of the parties indirectly who suffer. Upon what evidence they are fixed with the loss is to us an enigma ; but the revenue is here again a sufferer, and we think the Customs should solve that enigma, and guard against such puzzles being pro pounded for the future. These things furnish matter for inquiry, and we trust it is in better hands than for. merly. We have in a previous article on this subject freely expressed our opinion of the laehes of the Board of Customs, and it has called forth a re monstrance from a mercantile correspondent, whom we take this opportunity of informing that our stric tures on the Customs were general. We do not wish to be unjust, and we must admit that on a more care ful review of the statements contained in the columns of one of our contemporaries, though designed fox' a different purpose—and we thank our correspondent for the hint—some excuse is to be found for the existing Board of Customs, as the majority of the present Board are comparatively new men. If so, they are not answerable for the misrule of their predecessors, and we admit that it is difficult to break through established prac tices. They are now furnished with a powerful lever, and we would rather encourage them in the proper use of it than join in deriding the quali fications of the new Board, and personally inveighing against its several members. The examination of this question leads us to take a more cheering view of the case. The journal just alluded to has unwittingly furnished materials which place the parties affected in a much higher position than their predecessors. If the majority of the present members of the Board have had but few years of official experience in their department, we must give them credit for having turned it to some account. The infusion of a little new blood into the sluggish constitutions of anti quated bodies has a tendency to re-invigorate and bring about a wholesome renovation. We hope to see it verified. We look forward to the adoption of regulations which will at once form a safeguard to the revenue, relieve the dock companies from the danger of male versation by their servants, disarm suspicion against them, restore public confidence in those influential bodies, and secure the best interests of the mercantile community. We are the more sanguine, because we observe more evidences of energy and uncompromis ing integrity in a department which has heretofore been a subject of complaint and dissatisfactior, and we rejoice to see indications of a similar spiri► in the solicitor who, as the legal adviser of the Board, may be very instrumental in supporting and giving effect to their measures, if, indeed, he do not give a tone to their deliberations, as they must needs have recourse to him on most important matters. We know that there is no great inducement to a stipen diary officer resorting to needless litigation, adding thereby to the labours of his office. We were glad to SE e Mr. HAMEL'S declaration against sinecurism, and, therefore, do not concur in the ungracious attacks which have been made upon him, avowedly on account of the firmness and determination that distinguish him. We purpose shortly, should space and oppor tunity permit, to enter a little more fully into this subject. In the meantime we will only observe that we have looked in vain for the acceptance of his challenge, repudiating the statements attributed to him. As the attack was anonymous, the only clue to the author was to be found in the details of his ad versaries' statements, and their accordance with some pamphlet said to have been circulated by a former law officer of the Customs. After the deliberate, though polite, contradiction which Mr. HA.. di EL has publicly given to every position advanced, he may accept the silence ob. served as a retractation of the statements, or a confession of inability to maintain them. We do not enter upon this to vindicate the present solicitor, who, if we may judge from the tone and spirit of hie letters, can defend himself, but refer to it to show the weakness of a cause which must have recourse to personalities. The solicitor, be it remembered, is amongst those who are abused for protecting the interests of the merchant, and they may yet have to acknowledge themselves under great obligations to that gentleman—but more of this hereafter. AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY MORNING. The British and North American steam-ship Ame • rica has just arrived in our river, having sailed from New York on the 31st ult. She called at Halifax to land and receive passengers on the 2d inst. Her news is four days later than that received per the Atlantic on Wednesday last. Tne America brings the usual mails, and about 80 passengers. We learn by these advices that Garibaldi, the Ro man exile, had arrived in New York, where he has met a very gratifying reception. The accounts received from the cotton crops Ivere much more favourable than they had been hitherto. Business throughout the United States was in a languid condition. In breadstuffs little was doing. Prices had re. ceded slightly. Western Canal Flour was quoted 5 dolls. 121 c. to 5 dolls. 25c. per barrel ; Genesee Prime Wheat, 1 doll. 34c. to 1 doll. 36c. per 601b5.; Southern Wheat, 1 doll. 16c. to 1 doll. 18c. per 601bs ; Indian Corn, flat yellow, 63c. per bushel; Southern White, 60c. to 62c. per bushel ; Indian Meal, 3 dolls. to 3 dolls. 121 c. per barrel. The Cotton market at New York was inactive, and prices were rather feebly maintained as follows : New Orleans and Mobile, mid. fair to fair, 1440. per lb. ; Uplands and Florida, 131 c. Freights rule low, the market being quiet. Exchange on London, 1101 to 1101, sales _mo derate • Paris 5 22, little doing ; Hamburgh, 3 5 to 36 ; Bremen, 79! to 80. TWO DAYS LATER. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH VIA HALIFAX.) NEW YORE, AvG• 2. We have also received two days' later intelligence by telegraph to Halifax, bringing the news down to the close of business in New York on the above day. The Compromise or Slavery Bill had been de feated in the Senate. ,The admission of California into the Union was to be made a separate measure. The President had held the usual official attend ance, and declared as his policy strict neutrality in the affairs of all nations. Stocks were firm. Cotton unchanged. Flour dull and lower. SUDDEN DEATH OF THE RECORDER. OF THE CITY OF LorinoN.—lntelligence was received at the Mansion-house this forenoon of the melancholy death of the Right Hon. Charles Ewan Law, Re corder of the City of London, which took place rather suddenly this morning' at his town resi dence, at Eaton-place. The Hon. Gentleman has been ailing some few days, but his illness was not of that character to create the alarm of his family. He served the office of Common sergeant from 1830 to 1833, when he was elected to the dignified posi tion of Recorder. By his death a vacancy occurs in the representation of Cambridge University in Par liament. THE LONG VACATION. --The long vacation has just commenced, and will continue to the 24th of eri Oc o r to co ber, so far as law proceedings are concerned, in the supurts. Persons served with writs of summons must pay within a few days of the termination of the vaforcationa " , declar ti or they on will have to pay E cme additional pounds." There is no vacation in the County Courts, and on the Ist of October the new Act will come iota operation, when a cre ditor will have the "option" of bringing his action for a small sum to 501., or incur great expense in the superior courts. Attorneys and barristers will, under the new Act, be :entitled to a higher scale of lees th 4,12 they at present enjoy. TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1850. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Peril journals of yesterday. The PRESIDENT of the 13,-publlc left Penis yesterday morning by the Lyons Railway fur his proposed tour through the S JuthPro and Eastern Departments. lie is accompanied by General D'HairrrouL, the Mi nister at War, by Colonel VAUDREY, his aide-de cmp, Colonels EDGAR NEY and DE BEVILLE, his orderly officers, M. MOCQUART, his chef de Cabinet, and by the Ministers of Public Works and C! m merce. He was to make his first halt at Tonnere. The Cabinet has determined that three of the Minis ters, at least, shall remain in Paris during the vaca tion, and that the Vice-President, M. BOULAY DE LA NIEURTHE, shall not quit Paris during the absence of the PRESIDENT. The chief of the secret society, the Nemesis, has been arrested ; his name is IlEfaci. M. TESTE, who was Minister cf Public Works in the GUIZOT Ministry, and who for accepting bribes was sentenced by the Chamber of Peers in the time of Louts PHILIPPE to three years' imprisonment, was set at liberty on Sunday, having undergone his sentence. The Univers, the journal cf . MM. DE MONTALEM• BERT and DE FALLOUX, and the organ of the Jesuits, still continues its batches of miracles, but it now varies them by working miracles of vengeance ; for instance, it relates the story of a man who, for eating meat on Saturday, the 13th July, 1850, contrary to the ordinances of the Church, " fell from a tree," we quote the words of the pious print, " and that so violently, that it appeared as though an invisible hand had knocked bins down and precipitated him to the ground. Contrary to what happens ordinarily in cases of a fall from even a gr ea t h e i g ht, hi s b o dy burst in the middle, crepuit medius, and his entrails were scattered about. His corpse exhaled immedi ately such a horrible stench, that the houses in the neighbourhood, and those to which it was subse quently transported, becama all of them infected." Such is a specimen of the rhodomontade with which the Montalemberts and the De Falloux would in doctrinate the youth of France by their new educa tional scheme, to the exclusion of sound learning and useful knowledge. As to the manner in which his tory is taught in the schools under Jesuit superinten dence, our readers may form some idea from the &I- I lowing passage which occurs in the Univers in the course of a review of M. BOUILLET'S Historical Dic tionary :—" We cannot repeat too often," says the ultramontane organ, " that in an educational work to speak of the Catholic religion, or to relate its history, without declaring openly in its favour, is to be hostile to it." Accounts from Burgundy have been received of the occurrence of a dreadful hurricane which has seriously damaged the vineyards, and has in many places destroyed the entire crop. The Legitamatists are gathering around the Comte DE CHAMBORD at Wiesbaden. A lett,r from that place says : " Allow me to rectify some asset tions of your Paris journals, and to give you some information on the meet ing which is to take place here. You are aware, no doubt, that M. Guizot will not come here. On learning that his presence at Ems would lead to the idea that he intended visiting the Count de Chambord, he hastened to return to France. His visit to Ems was to the Princess Lieven, with whom he has been long intimate. Wiesbaden already resembles a little Coblentz. The Count de Chambord has engaged the Hotel des Qaatre- Saissons. M. de Bsrande, his old sub-governor, has arrived at the Hotel de Nassau, as have Baron Dudon, the Prince de Chalais, Viscount Walsh, the Marquis de Choiseul, M. de Brissac, &c. On Thursday evening the Count de Chambord will be joined at Cologne by MM. Berryer and St. Priest, and, it is said, by two personages of the old Government. It is in that con terence that will be dedided what policy shall be fol lowed at Wiesbaden. The choice of MM. de Ferte and de la Ferronnayes, sent for by the Count de Chambord, is not approved of. The fact is, the son-in la vof M. Mole has but little sympathy for Legitimatist opinions; and M. de la Ferronnayes is the expression of the opinion of the late club of the Rue de Poitiers, the dis solution of which is now doubly , fixed by the rupture of the Right with the Messager de la Semaine. It was said that M. de Falloux was to be invited by the Count de Chambord, but he declined the honour on the plea of delicate health. That is, however, only a measure of prudence, for he desires to re serve himself for all events. But he will have this year, as he had last at Ems (although Minister of the Republic), au alter-ego. The young Right, it is said, is to claim, if not a direction, at least an approbation of its Parliamentary conduct, to emancipate itself from the direction of M. Berryer, which will explain to you the articles published in the Unisrt on the chief of the Right. MM. Favreau, Dufougerais, and de Larocheja quelin, who, in the different meetings of the Council of State opposed the policy ca conciliation, rd are also, it is said, to come. You are aware that M. Favreau was one of the editors of the Gazette de France, when that journal attacked the Moderatism of M. Berryer. M. Dufougerais forgetting, without doubt, his resignation to the Ere Republicaine in 1848, has broken a lance several times with the chief of th e e Right. As to M. de Larochejsquelin, his opposition to M. Berryer has been lung known to every one. From all this you may form an idea of the agreement which will reign at Wiesbaden."

Accounts from Hamburgh of the 10th state that some severe skirmishing took place the day before, which ended in the Danes taking possession of Frederickstadt ; this had evidently been the object of the movement. ITALY. It appears that the scandal of refusing the viaticum to the Count of SANTA ROSA on account of his support of the Siccardi law in the Chamber of Deputies and in the Cabinet, originated in the express orders of FRANZONI, the turbulent Archbishop of Turin, who has been arrested by order of the Government, and committed to the fortress of Fenestrelles. FRANZONI says he acted in obedience to orders from the POPE. Now, seeing that this Slocardi law merely made eccle siastics accused of crimes amenable to the civil tribu nals, in common with other Piedmontese subjects, it would be well that Austria and France should look to their concordat 4, and consider whether they will support in Rome a power which thus seeks to encroach upon the civil rights of every state in which it can obtain a footing.

THE ORION. —The trial of the officers of this ill fated ship h as b een appo i n t e d to take place at Edinbu rg h on Thursday, the 29th of August. The persons to be indicted are Henderson, the captain ; Langdale, the first mate ; and Williams, the second mate. The precognition, or prelimi nary inquiry, has been the largest ever taken in Scotland. The surviving passengers were principally examined before leaving Portpatrick, but the precognition as to what should have been the proper mode of navigating the Firth of Clyde, under the circumstances in which the Orion was placed, has been taken taken in Glasgow. The Procurator. Fiscal has been engaged six weeks in this work, during which almost all the steam-boat captains and mates navigating the Clyde have been examined, with the view of fixing where the cul pability really lay. A beautiful model of the Orion has been made in Greenock, and will be used at the trial, on which the most eminent men, on both sides, of the Scottish bar will be engaged. The officers are out on bail. It is barely possible the trial may be delayed a day on account of her Majesty's expected arrival in Edinburgh on the 29th. THE DIRECT LONDON AND EXETER RAILWAY.-- The appeal, upon which the Master in Chancery Brougham lately gave his certificate of facts, and which was to dispute the right of the official manager under the Act to charge the directors of this company, to account for the expenditure of the 30,0301. deposit money has been abandoned, and the charge, as originally brought in, will be proceeded with. REDUCTION OF FARES CONSEQUENT ON THE OPEN ING OF TILE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. — Simultaneously with the op;.ning of the Great Northern Railway, the East ern Counties reduced their fares between London and St. Ives and Peteiborougli and the London and North Western by day ticket on their Northampton and Peterborough line. The Midland Company also assimilated their fares to those of the Great Northern.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. , CITY TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 8,000: , bales, of which 1,500 American, 200 Bahia, and 300 Surat were taken fur txport, and 800 American an•i sto Suet n speculation. The market was tame. but ckscd very firmly. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 300 P.tnam and I`,laranhain, at E 3 1, to 811.; 500 Bahia, at Bi.l. to 8f I ; 200 Egyptian at 81d. to 9d.; and 1,000 Surut at *. to 6'l, per lb.—The Share Market was dull and heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. The steamer Arr;erica. from the United States, brings advices of August 2 from New York. Cotton was heavy and Flour dull, and it is important to note that the advices respecting the Cotton crop are much more favourable. Freights ruled low. The exchange on Lon don was 1101 to 1101. The following is an account, drawn up by a party who had inspected some of the American manufactories. sta•es:— " We next visited Winter's Palace-mills. This is a large brick edifice, of six stories, occupied by a machine shop, four runs cf mill-stones, two 'ur wheat, and two for corn, with all the necessary flouring apparatus, capa ble of turning out from 80 to 100 brls. of flour per day. The entire cost was stated to be some 50,000, dollars. Ten thousand bushels of whect hail recently been pur chased in Baltimore, and was being made iato flour at this mill. " Near this mill is one which is rightly termed Variety Works,' sawing timber, planing, making tubs, pails, bedsteads, window-blinds, sashes, &c. &c., all by machinery adapted to these purposes. It is doubtless one cf the most profitable establishments in Columbui. " These several • stablishms:nts are situated on the east bank of the river, and are propelled by water, taken from the great conduit, which has been constructed of stone, to receive and retain the water of the Chattahoo chee river at a sufficient elevation to afford the necessary power. The head of water thus furnished is from 10 to 14 feet. This conduit is calculated for sup plying the power for many other manufactories. " There are two iron foundries in Columbus, which turn out a large amount of castings and machinery for mills, steamboats, &b. They employ a steam-ungine. " The City' Mills—ln the upper part of Columbus is a large wood structure, occupied by four sets of millstone - s, two for flour and two for corn, and extensive flouring works. " On the river above the city are several establishments which we had not the pleasure of visiting; among them the Rock Island Paper Manufacturing Company capital employed, 40,000 dollars, to be increased to 45,000 dollars to complete the machinery. They now manufacture I,ooolbs. when the machinery is completed. Cost of rags and other ma terials from Ito 3/ cents per lb. Price of paper from 10 to 123- cents per lb. Employ 7 girls, 2 boys, 13 men, and 1 teamster. Wages—girls, 11 dolls. per month; foreman, 100 dolls.; machinist, 60 dolls.; two opera tives, 40 dolls. each. " in all cases where we have given the wages, the par ties employed board and lodge themselves." The Amsterdam Stock market, on the 10th instant, was less firm. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. had been 57k. Accounts from the Baltic ports state that a good deal of rain hid fallen there, but subsequently the weather became fiber. The state of the farming interest is occupying con siderable attention, and a pamphlet has bean published entitled "Agricultural Distress; its Cause and Remedy; with a Preliminary Inquiry concerning the Civil Law of the Freedom of Private Euterprise," Mr. Charles Forster Cotterill being - the author. The whole question seems to he carefully and elaborately treated, and we may Fay this much, even if we differ from him in some of his conclusions and suggestions. The writer, arriving at the " gist" of his argument, affirms that " the real remedy can only be found in storing up in years of plenty that surplus which a bountiful Providence furnishes as a provision against years of scarcity. Our ancestors, in this respect, wire wiser then ourselves, and the ancient Lord Mayors of London furnish examples for modern times. The public granaries should be established not in the populous cities, the seats of consumption, but in the rural districts, the seats of production. There should be no state granaries in Landon and Liverpool, but in the counties of Northampton, Lincoln, Norfolk, &e., which are specially producing rather than consuming counties. With regard to the mode, quantity, or time of storing, that must be determined by circumstances sub sequently to be decided. The first duty of the Board would be the collection of statistical facts; and these would furnish the groundwork for subsequent operations. We have before estimated the quantity of wheat consumed in the United Kingdom, during an average season, at 20,000,000 quarters. But population is increasing ut no average of about 400,000 persons per annum; and that quantity, therefore, in a few years, is likely to be ex ceeded." The author then touches upon the value of agricultu ral stati,ties, and very important these undoubtedly are. Certainly no one can dissent from the allegation of their necessity and advantages.

The accompanying remarks on the ports, bays, and anchorage on the southern coast of San Domingo have ben received at Lloyd's from the office of CoMmittoe of Privy Council Lr Trade. (CoPy.) Remarks on the Ports, Bays, and Anchorages on the Southern Coast of Santo Domingo. It having frequently occurred that masters of British vessels signed charter parties at St. Thomas, " to sail with convenient speed to the port of Santo Domingo, anti there and at other places along the southern coast, as more especially mentioned in the charter party, to take in the whole or part of the cargo;" and as many of the places, bays, or ports are full of dangers to the shipping, or entirely unfit for taking a cargo on board of vessels of a large draft; it becomes the duty of her Ma jesty's Consul at Santo Domingo to make generally known for the information of masters of British ves sels, that all ports, bays, or pisces of anchorage to the windward of the Island of Sauna, or more especially between Punto Espada and Cape Raphael, are at all times dangerous, bat more especially so during the period between the months of January and April. The anchorage at Petit Trou is safe, but the passage through the Reef to it, admits only vessels that draw no more than ten or ten feet and a half, but there is another passage with 18 and 20 feet water for vessels sailing f,l. the anchorage to Seaward, which, in consequence of the prevailing wind:, and being narrow, cannot be made use of for vessels bound for the aucorage of Petit Trou. The Bay or Anchorage of Bausuco somewhat north ward of Petit Trou, is dangerous in consequence of be ing quite open to the winds, and a heavy swell setting in. The ship is obliged to anchor close to the land as there are no soundings at a short distance from the shore. The other ports, bays, and anchorages on the south co.ist ef Santo Domingo are without danger, but greatly subjected during the period between the months of July and October to heavy swells.
